My dog is a Caucasian too, you were very good with Rex! yeah Caucasians are the example of "barking dogs seldom bite". The growl too was without teeth, so more of a statement then a warning, but the muzzle if you don't know the dog is the best choice, you did well. They require authority and respect, they are intelligent judges too, if you try to deceive them or to use force or worse some sort of violence on them it's over. Your videos are super relaxing I'm watching all of them.

My awareness of their particular nature as a *very* protective and territorial guardian breed has shaped my opinion of them. I'm glad his owners trained him so well. You handled him like the professional you are.

i concur; the groomer is more nervous than the dog. the canines posture, from what is shown, was never actually aggressive nor very defensive at all. You'd flinch if someone pinched your genitals with clippers too! Ever have someone clip your earlobe getting a haircut? the oklahoma dog groomer lady (i unsubbed b/c of the bombastic emasculation of canines and don't remember the channels name) had some seriously aggressive dogs smaller than that Shepherd. Animal Control got it WAAAY worse too btw... But i still fear humans more than savage beasts. He doesn't need a muzzle, he needs a confident, intrepid human.

One thing that context here makes clear is that Rex, while voicing his discomfort and unease in a somewhat melodramatic fashion-the growl, you might notice, was mixed with a bit of a whimper-is a very well-behaved dog, and clearly very calm when not stressed out. I'm proud of him and hope he is doing well.

All the people saying the growling wasn't aggressive and "just a warning" crack me up. All growling is a warning. A warning that the dog is not happy with the situation and is going to bite if the situation continues as is . Quite frankly, I wouldn't have attempted grooming this dog without it being muzzled the entire time. The dog has never been groomed before, doesn't know the groomer, and is bigger than she is. Muzzles are made for just this type of situation. I've seen what a large dog can do to a human, and her inside a small space with him, and him not muzzled, made me extremely nervous. I sincerely hope that she will be more cautious in the future.

Give me a completely passive dog only.
@trudyisaacs840 Жыл бұрын
@@signalfire6691 If you're talking about medicating them around the clock, the answer is no. No reputable vet is going to agree to that. And shouldn't. Everyone looking to get a dog needs to be responsible, and investigate the breed they are interested in. Some breeds are just not a good fit for the average person. Some are not a good fit with families. It's the nature of the breed. Medicating won't stop it. And isn't healthy for the dog. But if you mean medicating for the purpose of grooming, the answer is maybe. Some groomers will agree to sedate a dog who is problematic during grooming. But there are risks with sedation. So many won't agree to it. Instead, they'll muzzle the dog to prevent biting, and may use a sling or straps to immobilize the dog as much as possible. One of the most important things dog owners can do is groom their pets regularly. Play with their feet. Rub their faces around the eyes and ears. Raise their skin around their teeth. Play with their snout. Get them used to being handled. This should start the day you bring your puppy home. It may be difficult if you adopt an older dog, and you may have to muzzle them at first. But getting them used to being picked up, their ears, mouths, and faces being touched, as well as their feet, is essential to having a dog that behaves well during grooming. And vet visits. Sadly, far too many dogs are deemed aggressive and not adoptable, and end up being euthanized. All because their original owner didn't take the time to train them properly.

Year but it is a warning sign, and when the grooming came coser to the end, the growling became more serious. I have grown up with and around dogs, there are a lot of levels of growling and with an unknown dog you cant always say how serious the growling is, but the dog in the clip became certainly more serious towards the end. Personally i wouldnt have pushed him further either and i think it was bold to go as far as she did, even with the nuzzle. Dogs of that size dont need their teeth to injure a slim person.

Not only train your dog, but know your breeds before you choose your dog. It's insane to me that there are people out there getting border collies and then deciding to have it in an apartment and with little stimulation, and then wondering why their dog is a mess of bad behaviours and severe neglect. Do I think Rexx is cute? Absolutely. Am I aware of the reasons this dog might not be for me, even IF I was a good trainer? Absolutely. And even if you have a perfectly trained dog, you might not have touched all bases that most dog owners these days would - things like grooming and desensitizing your dog to strangers touching its paws or looking at their teeth for your vet appointments is actually very common things owners forget to do.

@@Alberich_Prince_of_Dwarves I feel like any dog that lives with me definitely gets desensitised to people touching its paws, if not necessarily strangers! I love playing with dogs' ears and paws, though of course will back off if they show any discomfort. Especially floppy ears, omg. Love them. The last three I lived with were all herding dogs and pretty good about being poked and prodded though since there were also two kids in the house.

You shouldn't be afraid of dogs, but you should always bear in mind they have strong jaws, sharp teeth and they're very fast when they want to be. Generally speaking, if it's not your dog then take direction from the owner about how friendly they are and you should always pay attention to the dog's body language and vocalisations (if there are any). A wagging tail does not mean friendly or happy necessarily. And if you ever are attacked by a dog, go for the eyes. If you have a heavy object on hand or within grasping distance then you might be able to just cave its skull in as well. A lot of dogs will bite, hold and thrash and you're unlikely to get even a small dog to let go by anything other than training or lethal damage.

yes a million times yes. people who do not acclimate their pets to handling are asking for an accident down the line. this goes for dogs and cats. as babies, touch ther paws, use tools around them, positively reinforce good interactions with strangers. train train train! it will pay off in spades by the time your animal is an adult that can seriously maim someone if triggered. ill never understand why people get breeds that require intense coat maintenance and then do not maintain their coat or train them to be acclimated to grooming! sure, not EVERY pet is going to have the best temperament, but you as an owner should have considered your ability to train the breed for basic life skills then.

I also appreciate that she knows when to stop with a dog, depending on their body language, like a good groomer should. When my family started finding a groomer for our dog, my brother’s girlfriend at the time recommended a lady she knew. Worst groomer ever. She worked out of her garage, she never cut my dog’s ears or tail (she’s a doodle so she needs her whole body cut) and my dog looked awful. The lady didn’t even have a crate to keep the dog in while they waited for their owner. She left my dog in a playpen with a board on top so she couldn’t jump out. She also said my dog was “aggressive” at her first appointment. Yeah, my dog who had never been groomed before, aside from brushing at home, was very aggressive 🥴 Took my dog to a groomer who works out of our vet’s office and we’ve never had a single complaint.

My grandfather grew up with not one but 6 of these beauties in Romania. He was a shepard and tended to over 200 sheep. He would take them to a pasture way out in the countryside and lived out there with the sheep as they grazed. The six dogs would be along side him and tended to the sheep. I visited him once and was amazed at the size of the dogs and how well trained they were. My grandfather told me of the numerous times he would find a dead fox and then find some evidence of blood splatter on one of the dogs. It was the foxes, never the dogs. One dog did get into a fight with two wolves and the other dogs came to help out but one wolf was already dead and the other was injured and running away by the time the other dogs came to help. Maybe my grandfather was exagerating, but I do not think so. I stayed with him in his little house in the fields one night and could hear wolves howling. My grandfather would groom the dogs with a huge brush. He said it made the dogs pretty and that made him happy. He would breed them every two years and the demand for the puppies was so high that he was very picky who he sold them to, only the best farmers he knew. When he was too old to be a shepard, he bred the dogs and people as far as Australia would come visit him in hopes of buying a puppy. He only dealt with farmers who would have the dogs to herd animals and would demand updates or he would never deal with them again. He had a loyal following and if they wanted more dogs, they would give him updates.

I saw him jump from a porch off it completely missing all 4 steps in the middle of the night when I came home late. He was chasing a deer. The only time he would snap at my uncle is when he was washed down with the hose or if you took a hambone from him after Easter or Christmas dinner.

If she'd turn on her back laying against you she'd just let all her muscles relax and jaw would slowly fall open making her lips 'fall' leaving her teeth bare, she looked like an absolute demon going full motorbike-rev enjoying the scratches. Man I miss her! Growling for dogs isn't only negative! Often it's pleasure/play or even general frustration as well - a bit like how we complain and brood when we cant get it our way :) For anyone reading this, don't take chances if you have minimal experience with dogs, or with strange dogs, different dogs communicate a bit different the same as us. Just distance yourself to be safe. Dogs communicate a lot and it's easy to miss a sign that would change an 'I love this' into a 'Please go away' resulting into a bite. (which often is a warning bite, but since people often teach their puppies never to use their teeth with people they don't know how hard they can bite, so they often draw blood without intention).

I know first hand how annoying having a vocal dog can get, because it's never a moment of quiet. add on the particular nature of some dogs, and it's even more difficult.

As for no teaching it a lesson, if that were the case they would make terrible livestock and prison guards. And they are not a controlled breed. In fact, 30 seconds of checking shows there is only ONE country they are illegal in

@@drainmonkeys385 "it’s a constant battle for dominance between this breed and the master" That's not how dogs work. Dogs, even big dogs, aren't trying to "dominate" their family. I have a Caucasian Shepherd and I can almost guarantee you that Rex is a complete softy and absolutely pliable when it comes to his own family. What you're seeing here is Rex's instincts of "stranger bad" competing with his training of "It's not okay to be aggressive to strangers" - it's not about pride or hierarchy.

@@Grintock True, but temperament is a big factor too. It looks like Rex has a generally calmer temperament than the dogs that were bred for hard work. I have found that the Ovcharkas that were bread to be pets rather than farming and guard dogs tend to be more "Mellow" than the ones that are working dogs. Aggression is strong in the working dogs because it is believed it makes them more driven to do the job. Sadly aggression can be a double-edged sword and make the dog uncontrollable and dangerous. In my dealings with the breed, the more "Mellow" ones are just as dedicated and driven to do their job and are more controllable and less likely to hurt family members or livestock. My experience comes from growing up on an Agricultural Collected in the Soviet Union, where we had a small pack of Ovcharkas to guard against wolves and bears.

As a human who has had matted hair that was so long & tangled that it needed to be cut & combed out: I UNDERSTAND REX ❤ Any discomfort that comes from combing & cutting out matted hair is immediately followed by the relief of all the tension and pain that slowly accumulates from living with the discomfort for so long. He's a good boy, he's just a lot to handle and it takes patience & precautions. 😂❤ I'm amazed at how patient & trusting he was considering the situation and breed history. What a very good boy indeed. ❤ Thanks for sharing this and caring for him best that you could.

My Dad had a Greek Caucasian, it was huge , they were used for guarding the borders. A friend who was at the military gave it to him as a puppy... They were not for defending only smaller animal like sheep from wolves, but from bears.... Yes bears... One summer, the dog desided to jump into the city's central fountain, because it was too hot. Some police men tried to get him out. He barked once at them...end of the story... they left him in peace , just chilling.... Lovely dog really.... :)

The dog was extremely friendly for a CO. I grew up in that region and know these dogs very well- even as puppies they are very aggressive and territorial. I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near a CO without the owner around- but the owner has done his best to make his as friendly and sociable as possible. These dogs can take out 2-3 wolves at the same time. They usually only answer to one person - it was strange seeing him listen to you.

I agree with Anja - it may have been difficult for them to find someone to groom him. He may have also not really needed professional grooming until recently and bringing him when he's uncomfortable (new space and matting) may have exacerbated it. Not every dog needs professional grooming on a regular basis.
