So often forgotten.

Aw that's precious 😊😊

Aw how sweet 😂

That’s one of the sweetest compliments I’ve ever gotten!!!

So sweet 😊

Oh that is such a lovely thing to say! You are such a great dog person!! Your techniques should be used for all puppies! 😊

My stepdad's dog thought it was a hunting dog and was very confused when there was no bird.

Right!!

Did it on the first try no hiccups

And trust me. Having gone from rescuing for years to getting two Purpose Bred Rotties from a well respected breeder, it was unreal. Nothing phased those two. They actually slept through a 30 min fireworks display 2 blocks from our hotel once!! Training was a blast. One lived til 13, the other just shy of 14. They were worth every penny I spent.

This is also why most people shouldn't be breeding. There is so much that goes into breeding dogs. Of course I am happy to adopt my companion dogs, and I'm willing to work through their issues that arise from irresponsible breeding.. but with my working dogs I prefer a good breeder who goes the extra mile

This is also why it should be "adopt or shop responsibly" because if everyone who buys puppies actually bought from good reputable breeders with *contracts* there would not be dogs in the shelter to begin with

​@KaiSub that is such an ignorant comment.There will still be dogs In shelters. Because people won't stop abandoning their pets or breeding them

People with pets also won’t stop dying in their sleep… and I wouldn’t take in an inherited dog because I couldn’t care for it properly.

Agree 100%. I responded to a post and adopted a 1/2 Pyrenees 1/2 Newfoundland from a litter dropped at shelter in another part of my state. She's adorable and having had and currently have a house full of rescued Newfoundland's I was right on adopting this girl so she didn't get lost in the shuffle. (So many great large dogs end up in shelters because people don't learn about the breed they acquire.) I was first in line and already the rest were gone before they opened, a responsible organization took them all but my Daisy was left behind. I asked why whoever took the others didn't take her and they thought it was because she was the runt. This was the absolutely the right thing to do and in the best interest of the dog if the other party wanted true working LGDs. Someone who doesn't understand LGD's could easily feel sorry for the dog and think that's 'sad'. I am 100% in favor of making sure LGDs that can't perform are adopted out from the beginning to live wonderful family lives. My girl, who ironically looks identical like my Landseer Newfy boy down to the same blaze on the nose to spots on the belly, is afraid of tissue box that drops on the floor. 😂 She startles and runs for cover. None of her 'siblings', the Newfie pack, are skittish and she is growing out of it a little, she's 13 months now, but she doesn't have the make up for service and not only wouldn't perform guarding livestock, she'd probably get injured or killed in the process. She's now living her best life because someone recognized she was never going to be a working dog. I so admire this channel not just because of the incredible training and love and respect they have for the dogs in their care, but more importantly the respect to honoring the breed and raising up the best of breed standards and not watering them down like so many. His Maligators were bred for a very specific skill set just like LGDs were bred be a 'partner farmer' in 'dog form' working to protect farms 24/7. Creating the best in breed requires more than just genetics, but highly specialized training and development; no different from an elite athlete. This man's legacy will be breeding amazing performers and healthy linages for decades. It's a privilege watching his journey.

@@traceytheisen8067 it absolutely is a privilege to watch his journey with Mama Thang and these pups! I just traveled to FL and back from North GA to rescue a yearling Central Asian Shepherd. The previous family bought him because he was cute and fluffy and had the trademark huge paws, but did absolutely no research on the breed, couldn't confirm if the parents were health-tested or working or of sound temperament. They were just told this was an "oops" litter because the parents tied right before the female's appointment to be spayed. With the exception of a couple of vet appointments as a young puppy, he hasn't left the house except for walks around his neighborhood. 1 year and 150 lbs later, only the husband could handle him in public (and I say "handle" very loosely because as I was observing them returning from their walk the day I picked him up, this dog was literally dragging the husband, pushing off on him to try to get away, and chewing and tugging on the least). I witnessed this dog lunge to grab a child that was maybe 4 years old, and they just barely contained him. I was told he goes for her all the time but "she's fearless," and it made me incredibly angry because they put that child in serious danger and set this dog up for the worst kind of failure every single time they allowed him to be close enough to lunge at her. 🤬 He also lunged straight at my face while the older son was holding his leash and very narrowly missed me. They had an appointment to surrender him at a county shelter if I didn't show up, but judging by the way the dog behaved that day I have a feeling the shelter probably would have euthanized because the dog could barely be handled and would absolutely bite given the chance. The 8+ hour trip back home was...an adventure to put it nicely. He's been with me since Sunday afternoon and is finally starting to open up to me a little. It's taken a TON of treats and cheese, a few doses of trazodone, and a LOT of patience. But so far he's conquered stairs (he'd never been exposed to them), wood floors, and is slowly learning that his crate isn't a bad place. He was spoiled rotten by that family, never crated, never exposed to lots of common obstacles and allowed to pretty much run the house, and it really shows. He would posture and growl and lunge just when I tried to put a leash on him. I discovered that "sit" is the one command he knows, so I've been using that to help him learn to work with me for treats, freedom etc. and that has built a little bit of respect and relationship between us. I was finally able to pet him on the head earlier today, but I'm still going REALLY slowly with putting a collar on and leashing him. Once I can leash him and feel fairly confident that he won't redirect on me because he dislikes being led around, I'll start off with nighttime walks. It'll be quieter with fewer distractions and will allow us to work on leash manners without being approached by people. I'm a farmer, so if we can work through some of these issues we'll have a chance to see how he does around livestock. Got a LOT of work to do on our relationship with each other before he can be trusted anywhere near them, though. He'd probably be a much better adjusted dog if anyone had taken the time to just expose him to obstacles and noises and strangers (not to be forced to interact with them, but to learn how to be neutral around them) and busy areas from the time he was very young. I can't even imagine the kind of dog he would have turned into in a shelter environment with all of the overwhelming smells and sounds and sights and strange humans and dogs and constant barking. He wouldn't have had ANY sort of mental or emotional framework for how to respond.

Some of them are legit reactive to animals. That's their whole reason for existence. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Most breeders are just not up to standard. If you go into it to make money, either the standard of care will be lacking, or you'll be severely underwhelmed by the amount of money to be made. If you count every hour raising them up to be proper working dogs, you won't even make minimum wage. Don't go into breeding for money.

I would have assumed military and police dogs would get range time with their handlers.

That's why you should never react in a big way in front of your dog about something trivial! They will learn that they should be afraid from their pack members :)

It's not so much "trust" in him, as it is - like he said at the beginning of the video - that they are too young to have developed any true fear response yet. From an evolutionary perspective, it doesn't benefit super-young puppies to be fearful (it would just be a waste of energy), since they're not agile enough to escape danger anyway if they get scared. Keeping them safe is the mother's job at this stage in development.

This is all true for toddlers as well

For sure! 🥹🥰

as long as they can handle them, haha

Sounds like you did awesome! Thanks for doing that for her, I'm sure it improves her quality of life to not have to be afraid so often ❤

@@Janne_Mai thank you so much ❤️

I did this with my cat and now he thinks plastic bags mean playtime. I love that yours was able to recover!

Why is she scared of filled trash bags? Was she thrown away in a garbage or something?

@@johnparkes2452some animals are afraid of things that make alot of noise or are shaped ambiguously when laying around.

Perhaps he got very lucky that her bitch got bred by the perfect male with excellent traits that were also trained in this similar scenario.

Thanks! 🥈 to comment wins chin scratches given to the thanglings from you!

I was thinking how much he shows the disparity between the BEST of breeders, and baisic ones. Puppy mills are a whole other level of evil.

Funny how you say breeders. That's the wrong word bro. It's more like money grabbing bastards

@@SunnyvaleTrailerParkSupervisor Yeah true. But there are amazing breeders in the world who actually don't care about money instead care about helping people

@@SunnyvaleTrailerParkSupervisor To me, the only time they're money grabbing bastards is when they create abominations with high prices, those with genetic abnormalities that hurt the dog in terrible ways. That or they raise untrained or abusive standards on the animals.

The lone little introvert 😂

The amount of effort and time spent will make these dogs priceless. They will be so balanced, amazing. Thank you for sharing all the information and the actual interactions😊.

@@keylargo7647this beautiful intelligent breed is like elite athletes. When they’re full grown they’re like a machine. Always needing some sort of stimulation but very living snf affectionate. They have sn smazing. Onnrction euth their handlers they really are poetry in motion to watch their more “formal” training in service.

Ms. Pink!!!

Pink? That's who I'm falling in pup with!

😂 this is how my dog is with windshield wipers

My mums border terrier attacks her vacuum

So true. The whole channel is that feeling you get when you see two otters holding hands.

I have a new timid cat, and my house is usually a quiet controlled place. I would shut off the furnace, make sure the fridge wasn't going to cycle the fan, and take my other animals out with me. I'd slam the door on my way outside and leave for about 15 minutes. It's been teaching him that nothing, absolutely nothing changes just because he's scared.

Think it would be a opposite effect to humans
