Well said, and thank you for your dedication to quality dogs.

Well aggressive Dogs are not for public, they are for farm protection and has a purpose in certain conditions. Agression can be channelled for change. My Malinois wanted to kill every single dog, until I worked with him. I can walk him off leash on a hike filled with other Dogs Humans are superior, if they harness their innate intelligence.

@@Noahsark17 LOLNO. Farmers don't want aggressive dogs. Livestock is valuable.

@@Noahsark17 that’s the hubris of mankind you just exemplified right there lol.

It’s true, genetics are the base of the dog. I’m so tired of hearing “It’s the owner, not the breed/dog”. I’ve seen so many videos of seven, eight, and nine week old pit bull puppies k*lling litter mates. They were bred for bloodsport, just like pointers point and herders herd, the skills can be solidified through training but the instinct is there. Dogs that have decent genetics but have been through trauma often do really well with training and a stable new life, but not all. I’m all for saving dogs that can be saved, but I’m equally supportive of behavioral euthanasia for dogs that will always pose a serious risk to other animals and people. We love our dogs, but we must always put safety first.

This! Shelters wash the dirty records of dogs with serious bite histories and adopt them out to unsuspecting families. Shelters must be held accountable, and no kill shelters seem to be the worst offenders. The bite statistics are out of control, and unethical shelters should either be forced to humanely euthanize dangerous dogs. There are ethical rescues that do just that, and they should be the only ones people adopt from.

Funny I have one of those dogs right now . Came from south Carolina flight ring. Used as a bait dog. It's recently started attacking my other dog it's lived with for 5years now without any issues. All a sudden he's turning mean and bites my other dog bad . Had to choke him off my other dog 3times now. Once more I think will be his last. I will have to put him down. Much as I love him. My other dog don't have a mean bone in his body. Always submits but it don't matter , he still attacks him even in submission

@@REDNECKROOTS I’m sorry , that’s awful. It’s so sad for all involved.

Me either. For some reason I assumed all dog mothers would be good mothers though it doesn't work like that in the human world. Funny I did not consider that.

You are doing the right thing. Keep going!

Don't be ashamed. Everybody chooses to spend the time differently. Some people collect dolls. Some people enjoy their dog companions! It is not unusual for dog owners to learn as much as they can about their canine companions and to even shape their activities around their dogs.

Mariusz Subocz your learning about your dog thats a good thing to do!

Excuse me what? Why would they make fun of you for wanting to be informed?

@@kennethirgendwas4616 Honestly I was shocked as well, I got my first working line Gsd 4 months ago and I spend 1-2hrs Daylily monday-friday and 2-4 hrs on weekends training my dog, not to mention personal protection classes that are like 100 bucks a session, when i tell my family and friends this stuff they think it's nuts and say I need to get a life , they don't realize what's happening behind closed curtains

I also hate that people sale these dogs to unqualified people. If you don't have to prove your ability to the breeder that you can handle that kind of dog, don't buy a dog from that breeder. When we got our corso we had to jump through hoops to show the breeder we could handle her. And she showed the best temperament in the littler! Responsible breeders won't just let pups like that go to the first person who comes along.

@Rachel you are so right. I'm so glad to hear your breeder was so careful placing the pups in the right hands. I bred a litter of malinois. The hardest part was finding qualified people.. so hard I would never do it again.

I see too many people with dogs who don't have a clue about dog behaviour & how much a dog needs on a daily basis. Also, breeders need to stop selling their dogs to anyone & everyone, setting their puppies up for rehoming or put into shelters and all to make a quick buck, makes me so sad. People need to research long before bringing a dog into their lives.

thanks!

What was that, is there something on youtube? I don't have a super high opinion of Cesar Millan anyway. Not that I don't think he knows a lot about dog, but "show" and making money is so much more important to him that he doesn't care about helping dogs anymore and usually only achieves quick fixes that don't last.

Were they denying you all dogs from the shelter or just one specific one? There are some dogs that CANNOT be adopted out to homes that will ever have children around. I've also had pretty shitty experiences with dog rescue organizations - our application was denied for ANY dog because my fiance and I aren't married. I'd like to think we have the perfect home (one floor, backyard, close to nature parks, fiance works from home, experience with dog training, active family)... apparently the lack of a ring means we aren't suitable to adopt a dog.

Emily Dueck We were interested in a black gsd but we did look at others. They did not offer us other options. As I stated above we now have a beautiful GSD puppy at just over 11 months. Well trained by myself and great with all our kids and others we meet outside so they and the dog we wanted lost out. a great shame but we are very happy with our dog.

Kudos to you for finding a quality dog, and thrilled you have a happy family now.

I've spent 3 months applying to adopt dogs from Dogs Trust and Battersea (UK) - I'm 26, have a stable job that let's me work from home, own my own house, live with my long term partner and have a ton of experience of GSDs and Rotties (my mum was a vet in a police dog training center when I was born and I spent every day there)... yet, all these big dog shelters don't see me fit to rescue, I've not received a single response to any of my applications. Just like you, I'm now buying a puppy!

Here in Alaska it's similar, I don't have a front fence so I can't have a dog, but I wanted to use an e-collar. That's apparently a no. So I got a Great Dane from a breeder, best gremlin ever lol😂

Yes!!!

My grandfathers best freinds bar maids husband said the only way to sooth an angry pitbull is one thumb in its bun. Hold its back legs off the ground first and push the thumb until it stops pushing back and just envelopes your thumb. Calms them right down he'd say.

I hope you put this dog down

Glad it was helpful!

thank you!

What a shame. Most people adopt dogs that are beautiful without consideration for their mental and physical needs. A Malinois needs a lot of stimulation that the average person is not able to give.

Danielle Sheremetiev -yep, I feel bad about this dog- but not enough to disrupt my little pack of hell hounds. I was a Veterinary Tech a few decades ago and learned I can’t bring home every dog that’s in a bad situation.

My neighbor is a swat police officer and canine trainer. He had a malinois that he took home after it was too old for police work. Kids would play with him my dog would play with him the sweetest dog ever. I’ve seen videos of police dogs that will not let go of the subject even with the handler pulling him and giving him commands. I was nervous at first about my dog being with this supposedly trained to be aggressive dog. He assured me it would be fine. And it was.

amen! If more people would just take this into consideration. People don't get what a game bred dog is...

Wow, I’m sorry. I have a medical alert and mobility service dog, and working with trainers took the standard two years. The issues with seizure dogs, is that particular alert cannot be trained! Diabetic alert, POTS etc alert to smells, so we swab our mouths during medical episodes, and use that scent lure to train the alert. We still don’t know what it is that dogs can sense to alert to seizures, and very few dogs can do it at all. Service dog programs will test all dogs in their program around people with epilepsy to see if any have the gift. It sounds like you friends dog is reacting to her after seizure situation, and even then not in a proper way. The hard thing is, that by your description, the dog isn’t legally allowed to worked in public at all, reactivity isn’t allowed. I’m very sorry for her situation, but this dog most likely isn’t even able to do what she needs, and legally can’t be used in public anyway. She would struggle to find a dog for ten thousand dollars, twenty, thirty and up is more realistic. She can go on a waiting list for free or reduced fee seizure alert dogs, and try a go fund me to raise the funds. She’s disabled and some horrid “trainer” took advantage of her, it’s a constant problem and I’m sorry she was a target. She can join service dog groups online and good recommendations from people who have illness, they can direct her to reputable organizations and trainers.

I love Akitas.

They pick up on problem people even faster I trust mine every time I have ignored them it has been shitty bro .the things they pick up on that we don't even see is insane.

Running away is always the wrong answer, unless you've got a big lead and a safe destination. I've never been sure what's correct past that; acting passive vs defensively threatening for example.

I used to go door to door doing flyers and only got bit once. Usually I would back up slowly off the property. Only got bit once on the finger not hard on the finger but a small dog but it drew blood!!! Always hated chows Chihuahuas,and poodles found they were mean!!!

I love how ppl think its so easy to do. This is real life folks, not the fucking movies!! smdh. That question about the dude wanting to get & train a protection/family dog really irritated me.

Leave yourself alone son eh

Rich Heinz is good on protection and other stuff. I think Robert gives more information for free. This channel is very underrated

Thank you

😂

Kind of a random anecdote, but related to your point: On Reddit, out of curiosity I briefly followed a community that "exposes" (and harasses) people who fake major illnesses, usually for internet sympathy or monetary gain (Munchausen by Internet). There is an "illness faker" the group targets that has a GSD being trained to do medical tasks. The dog has done some early training with an IPO club, as the owner has done IPO and owned GSDs for years - it's just that this one dog in particular, the owner is now also training for service work for her. There are people in this Reddit group who flat out purport that this woman using an IPO dog for service work is "illegal." I went back through the subreddit history trying to figure out where that notion came from, and it seems to have morphed from the fact that IPO dogs are "banned" from most professional therapy/service dog organizations - this became "using a dog with any IPO training for service work is inherently dangerous and illegal." They've taken this (false) notion as a sign that this woman is OBVIOUSLY lying about her illness because her service dog is OBVIOUSLY fake. THOUSANDS of people are HARASSING this poor disabled woman en masse online for this. It's insane and horrific. Like I said, that's kind of a random anecdote. But any time I see someone mention the fact that IPO dogs are "banned" by some training groups from doing any service or therapy work, I think of this woman. There are real consequences to the (IMO wrong) idea that dogs trained in sport are inherently dangerous. I, too, would love to hear Robert's thoughts on this, though.

@@caitcampbell7768 just reading your comment, and... WTF. People are terrible sometimes.

Therapy and service dogs cannot be trained in protection because the same traits that make good protection dogs make dangerous service/therapy dogs. Good protection dogs have high suspicion, high prey drive, high possession, high defense, high energy. Rather than banning breeds they ban sports. IMO it’s a very good way of doing it.

sorry. but not your fault. you tried more than the last idiot who ruined her!

Here’s the link to the Apple podcast. You can subscribe there. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/canine-conversations-robert-cabrals-dog-training-podcast/id1464621845

Judet 30 Training and acceptable outlets to mentally and physically stimulate your dog. Motivate the dog that you are more fun and offer better rewards than a chase would. Practice a solid recall in calm situation, make them associate the recall with awesome things happening. Delicious treats. Maybe let the dog chase a toy in a rope behind you. Also very important to not be sloppy letting young dogs chase wild animals as this can be very self rewarding. That being said, some dogs can’t ever be off leash if their prey drive is too strong.

I am secondary handler, My dad is his primary handler. He lunges at me every night with his teeth showing and tail wagging and he stops when i shout at him. Then he yawns and go away hahaha he thinks of it as a game. Rest i use choke chain on him for walks only. 98% of time he is not on leashe and 2% of time he is on one simple or the choke chain

@@sudaesh Like i said toward me he is 80% friendly and 20% not so friendly. Although, he does loves me that i am sure off by the way he turns upside down to get belly rubs but i seem to not have his 100% trust (because of resource guarding) . He wants me to play with him also but his idea of play is wrestling with bites. Like i said it's a 20-20 catch situation. He loves me but hates me also LOL!

@@sudaesh He snarls at me only at night time otherwise he doesn't snarl at all.

@Nathan Armour yes, he loves kids above 5 years age but not below it, He is always on leashe outside. Out of 24 hours in a day he is on leashe 1hour and 23hours he is off leashe. He is young and playful full.of.energy and like i said all trainers i met have not resolved the issues of resource guardian only towards me. He snarls at nighttime only but when i yell at him he comes to his senses and relaxes.

@@sudaesh He is Indian Pariah Gaddi Mix rescued from an abusive home where he was fed cement and alcohol when he was a pup, moved around to 4-5 homes where he bit folks and then he settled in our home and he has bitten me in the past when he was a pup (which were my mistake because he was eating cement and stones and i put my hand in his mouth to take away the stone ). He loves my parents but me the situation is 80-20 Pareto principle i.e. 80% love and 20% hate love-hate relationship.

YES, in my humble opinion. Contact Robert or talk to a vet or local balance trainer.

If the dog respects the mom and not the child then it’s the moms job to correct the dog. To me it sounds like pecking order. The dog considers the mom the leader and the dog is next in line.

Never heard of him.

I've watched Dog Daddy it seems like he has helped a lot dogs and owners.
