Hello guys it’s the dog daddy welcome Back to my channel today i visited a Kill shelter here in los angeles with One of my friends who runs a non-kill Dog rescue she wanted me to come with Her to help evaluate a dog that has been Living at the shelter and the staff are Completely scared of him he apparently Has been showing some aggression and That’s this dog right there that you Guys see right now he apparently does Not let anybody get him out of the Kennel he tried to bite them he bites The leash and they’re really kind of Unsure of what’s going on or what to Expect from him and so my friend who was Interested in rescuing this dog she Wanted me to come with her to see if This dog would be a good fit for her to Rescue because unfortunately not Everybody is able to handle dogs with Aggression but sometimes these dogs are Labeled as aggressive but it turns out That the dog is not really aggressive so That’s the purpose of me coming here Today to help evaluate the dog and Assess it and see If it is true aggression and if she Would have to be concerned with handling Him and her staff handling him or If maybe That’s something else going on and it Might be a much easier fix so i wanted To bring you guys with us
And show you part of the evaluation Process and show you the outcome of this Visit to the shelter today The first thing i do is switch the dog To my own leash so this way i can see How the dog is responding to leash Pressure a lot of dogs will redirect With leash pressure because they feel Like you’re interrupting and they have a Lot of the uh fight back instinct so Once they feel pressure and they feel Like that is stopping them or Interrupting them they will try to bite The leash or bite anything near them in Order to try to get away and i wanted to Make sure um if that’s a problem with This dog or not Also i always keep in mind when Evaluating a dog like this I’m not just going based on the one Issue the obvious issue that people see I’m trying to evaluate everything else This is a Runaway rescue so this was a stray dog With unknown history so we really don’t Know what has happened to this dog Before what kind of lifestyle he was Living what kind of environment he was In we don’t really know exactly his age We don’t know any incidents that may Have happened we really don’t know much So I’m evaluating the whole dog and i’m Using just my ability to understand his
Body language to try to determine any Habits or issues that he may have had in The past that may now be Triggers to him after evaluation i Determined that this dog has just a high Prey drive he is under a lot of stress Being at the shelter and he has the bad Habit of redirecting and his main issue Really is that he just doesn’t have any Training no obedience training nothing To help him cope with these different Situations and it’s hard even for a dog That would have a lot of training Imagine for a dog with high drive and no Training so he’s in a really bad spot Being in this environment and that’s Causing a lot of the problems Unfortunately as i’m going to be away From los angeles as i go on tour to Bring my training to you guys all over The world my friend who runs the rescue Feels like this dog will be a little too Much for her and her staff to handle Alone but if anyone watching this video Feels like they have the ability to help This dog he just needs someone who Understands him and can give him proper Training please reach out to us on Instagram and maybe you are able to Foster him and help with the training He’s very friendly He’s very nice Our visit to the shelter did not end There
As we’re leaving the shelter very Disappointed that we were not taking the Previous dog that we looked at his name Is latte we didn’t take him for the Reasons i explained to you guys but on The way out we saw this beautiful female German shepherd her name is coco and i Immediately was drawn to her and asked My friend if she could take her instead Because by looking at her i immediately Could tell she had a great temperament And believe it or not this dog is Labeled as animal aggressive meaning she Has aggression towards animals they Didn’t specify exactly what animals but With my intensive Extensive Experience With the german shepherds I knew right away by looking at her that There’s no way that this dog has any Type of serious issues and yes i can Tell by looking at her demeanor there’s All the dogs around there’s small dogs There’s big dogs what i see is a dog That needs some Training on top of what she already has She actually has some good training Already as far as obedience commands she Knows sit she knows down she knows leave It she even does high five Great solid dog and i knew that whoever Labeled her as aggressive really didn’t Know what we were talking about and we
Were making Life harder for this dog uh she actually Had been adopted out after being at the Shelter for a little while and was Returned within 24 hours Probably because of what you guys see Here She’s an excitable dog very eager it’s a Typical thing for german shepherd as a Working breed and this dog appears to be From pure walking lines just just from The looks of her And therefore she needs a strong leader To give her directions she’s also very Young she’s only two years old And without the proper training and Exercise of course these dogs will be More reactive they will be behaving Disorderly and so on and yes if you Don’t know what you’re Looking at and you don’t understand the Dog for what it is and the breed that it Is you will label a dog like this as Aggressive and That is not aggression you know any dog Can be reactive any dog can uh wanted to Go They may have prey drive they want to Chase smaller animals but those things Can be trained by teaching your dog Boundaries and limitations Self-control is a huge thing And for a dog like this one she just Needs someone who is strict with her and
Practice training regularly and give a Proper exercise and then you have a Solid great dog she does not redirect She has zero human aggression so it is An easy dog to work with given that she Really wants to please and she it’s very Obvious that she wants to work with you And You know whenever dog has issues that They just don’t want to learn and they Don’t take corrections well And A lot you know a lot of other things That could become a problem and make it Harder to train them i could understand But this dog is literally begging you to Give her directions so the only way that This dog would be a problem is if Someone does not understand her and does Not give her the proper guidance that She needs This dog actually was at the kill Shelter and she could probably just be Adopted there But she was already adopted and she was Returned within 24 hours for Supposedly aggression with other animals And we just have had her for like two Hours right now and We have introduced her to dogs through Fences and she’s a little interested but Very easy to redirect so what i’m trying To say is that this dog Is has been misunderstood you know she
Has a great temperament when i saw her And being a german shepherd i saw her at The piano there i right away knew she Just needs a little bit of proper Training But there’s nothing really wrong with Her like there’s some dogs that have Temperamental Temperament issues and sometimes it’s Genetic and that’s not the case with This dog at all so i don’t want her to Keep going to the wrong home and then Having to be returned for no reason and We took her and i’m about to do some Training with her like around other dogs Like getting close and actually getting Her to meet other dogs just to see Exactly what’s going on but her Temperament is great and she’s going to Be available for adoption um she just Needs really an active person she’s Great with kids and people there’s no Aggression at all he can touch her Anyway like i said i just matched this Dog today and i’m doing all this like You know with zero worries because you Can tell by her body language like she’s Just very solid very stable um she’s Really eager to work so she’s a high Drive dog Medium medium to hydride dog not really That high drive but for someone that Doesn’t know it could be too much energy For them so it’s just understanding that
She is an active dog she has had a lot Of training because she wants to please She definitely like wants someone that Give her direction she wants to please Um She knows all her commands she knows sit Down leave it she’s great on a leash And we’re going to introduce her to all The dogs in a little bit you guys are Going to get to see exactly how she does With other dogs which i can already tell You it’s not going to be a problem she Has been a problem a problem With other people just probably from not Knowing how to communicate with her Every dog needs directions you know but Her temperament is great so she’s not Going to be a problem with an other dog As i predicted with total confidence That she would not be aggressive without The dogs the lie detector test Determined you are telling the truth I not only introduce her to my male dog Owen and she wanted to play with him Right away i also introduced her to my Female dog corvette who is actually in Heat at the moment just to make sure That she would have no issues you know With female to female Or Anything like that so she did great she Wanted to play with both of them she was Introduced through the fence With many dogs and she has absolutely no
Signs of aggression whatsoever so she Does tend to like to play a little rough And again sometimes people will look at That and think it’s aggression or the Dog is too aggressive to them and that Really just comes from a lack of Understanding a bigger dog with high Drive This dog is not aggressive Make sure you guys go check out the Description of this video so we can stay Connected You can see how i can help you with Training as i’m traveling all over the Place this year also if you want to Adopt a dog like this i will have all The links in the description below and i Will see you guys in the next video Thank you so much for watching as always Love you all
