Sense we can we can surely uh come to an Accord of some sort Now this comment was interesting has You’re a very honest trainer this is From junior taurus you’re very honest Trainer love your videos in my humble Opinion as a trainer these are lower Working quality this is a lower working Quality litterer um that i have seen in Your videos they appear more for family Homes can’t wait to see your other Litters amazing trainer amazing person Junior I don’t know if you’ve watched my other Puppy testing videos i don’t have too Many of them up Uh this is certainly An upper level performing video i don’t Need to click i don’t shoot these videos To sell those puppies i shoot these Videos to make entertaining and Educational content that’s why i shoot The videos right so i don’t care if Nobody buys the puppies and and that’s Really not a problem for me i’m gonna Tell you this and and i’m gonna give it To you in all honesty those puppies are Fantastic puppies they’re definitely Already showing more drive Than just about any other litter i have Had And That’s the god honest truth now knowing The parents and the grandparents and the
Great grandparents of that litter They are definitely not going to be Lower working quality And i’ve produced some really nice dogs That you guys all admire in my um Uh in my uh on my channel and maybe some Of you have met them in real life From puppies that really didn’t even Look near as good as these puppies do so In my humble opinion uh this is Definitely One of the better litters that i’ve ever Produced so maybe you watch my other Puppy testing videos again you might get A different opinion here’s the other Thing people don’t realize this These puppies I i truck literally the day before the Test they got trucked from you know A small house in the middle of the woods In the middle of nowhere in in rural Ontario where they were whelped and Raised um by by uh the the guy who calls The dam with me They were in put in a car driven like Three hours to my place okay they were Offloaded they spent the night in a Strange candle then they were thrown in The back of my side by side Driven up to um Uh my kennel building and then separated From one another they’ve never been Separated from each other and walked Into a strange building where there’s
Dogs barking and random people and all Sorts of crazy smells there’s different Lighting and so on and so forth Completely the first time in their Entire life most human beings in that Situation Would wouldn’t be able to function much Less dogs so Yeah considering all those things They’re doing quite well i’m quite happy With them Here’s another one i’ll address from Aliana lowell Lol i should say wild dogs don’t have That color nor do hyenas nor do wolves Well actually wild dogs aka dingos which Are probably one of the few i’m not Talking about african wild dogs those Are actually Not um They don’t share 100 the same dna as Your domestic dogs that’s a whole Different kettle of fish by the way i Know they’re called wild dogs but just So you know they’re they’re not actually Wild dogs um The dingo Is Basically a wild dog and um that’s what I was referring to uh wolves again sorry Hyenas certainly not same species uh so Maybe do your homework on that one a Little bit Here’s another comment that was
Interesting from dog breath Uh would love to see a video of you Talking in depth about dominant dogs not Just what truly Dominant dog is but dogs who Show dominant behavior that may only be An 8 out of 10 on the dominant spectrum I saw your video about handler Aggression and you talked about Redirection and social Dominant aggression i really wish you Could expand on the social aggressive Dominant dog some more to me dominance Is on a spectrum of say 1 to 10 10 being a truly dominant dog which we Know is rare i would like to hear more About these dogs that are on seven to Nine scale of dominance and the type of Behaviors you tend to see would really Love to hear you ramble on about the Subject in greater depth thank you for Your knowledge you share wish you Continued success well thank you um Yes that is actually a good topic for a Video i’m going to have to write that Down and put that aside real quick on Dominant dogs i guess Off the top of my head the way that i Would define Dominance is a dog that’s willing to use Force To achieve Satisfaction Whether that is related towards his you
Know satisfying his hunger satisfying His his prey drive um satisfying his Desire to possess resources all these Things you know all dogs walk things But there are very few dogs that are That are willing to actually impose Their will Upon the people and other animals well More with other animals but less with With the people that they share their Lives with and there’s a reason for that Of course we bred this trait for the Most part out of dogs because it would Be very difficult to live with dogs like This however you see this trait Pop up a lot in certain breeds Specifically working breeds because This trait is linked this this strength Of character is also linked to other Positive qualities that we look for in Working dogs like uh aggression Independence hardness so on and so forth So you do tend to see it in those dogs Now most people what they call dominance It’s it’s like yes i wouldn’t really Term that dog as a truly dominant dog But the dog still has learned In dealing with people that are inapt Weak um uneducated ignorant so on and so Forth that they can get away with that Type of behavior and achieve his or her Goal so i guess every dog to some degree Uh probably has some level of dominance In some specific area but there are some
Dogs that have just inordinate amounts Of dominance like they’re just extremely Like there’s dogs that will literally Chew you up Over looking at them wrong or pulling Them off a car tire that they want to Pee on or just about anything that they Want to do so you have to understand it From that perspective people don’t Believe me when they when i talk about These dogs but when you’ve trained Enough dogs especially when you’ve dealt With a lot of working dogs and then Sometimes you see it in like the Mastiffs and and the pit bull type dogs And stuff you can see it in these dogs You know you will see it like male presa Canarios you you see this behavior a lot The male rottweilers you tend to see This behavior if they’re strong they’re Strong-willed um but again it’s it’s a Good topic for a real in-depth video i Should do one thanks for the idea Okay this comment was on one of my E-collar training videos how do you deal With a dog who performs well with when The collar is on But becomes disobedient without the Collar my border collie has been Stubborn as a mule since the day i got Him he knows the commands perfectly well And will obey when he’s wearing an E-collar when he’s a bit bored but when He can get away without obeying he will
Well yes because your e-collar is Clearly what does the training And you know when when you train in my System you learn real quick and i i make It really clear to people now not Everybody gets it but i make it real Clear to people the e-collar is an Extension of you it amplifies you as a Trainer if your only game is the E-collar then that is all you will ever Have My only game is not the e-collar that’s Why i can take the e-collar off my dog And i’ll still have a completely Obedient doc Right It because my only game is not the E-collar the e-collar is simply an Amplifier of Me so when you train with the e-collar Like it’s a crutch instead of an Amplifier then that’s the result you get My suggestion get with a trainer that Knows what they’re doing um or you know Take one of my online courses you know My lead off leash obedience course may Shed some light on how to deal with Color wise dogs As well as you know maybe what you’re Doing wrong what you need to change as a Handler Here’s a good one on my the different Types of german shepherd video All right michelle turner not everyone
Needs a high drive fighting gsd Family does need to be much family dogs I guess she’s trying to say need to be Much calmer and softer i think there are Way too many working dogs sold to pet Homes and it’s not cool i see it all the Time Disagree disagree I’m a professional trainer and i train Thousands of dogs and probably the most Common dog that i train is the german Shepherd because a lot of people have Them and When a lot of people think dog training For my german shepherd they think shield Canine Maybe it’s my logo maybe it’s our rep i Don’t know either way i see a lot of German shepherds most of them are Petline dogs of no particular breeding The Next most common dogs that we see are Show lines or show line crosses and then The final Final dog that we see is working line Now most of the working lines that are Brought to us are not particularly good They’re bred by people with your mindset Unfortunately michelle that think i Don’t you know i we like the working Line colors and the appearance and the Reputation but we don’t want all that Drive so what do they do they breed soft Weak low drive dogs to one another and
They end up with nervy puddles of goo Wearing you know sable coats basically Breeding down To suit the masses is never the solution In every one of my litters i have Dogs that are You know in the medium and lower range i Don’t care who i’m breeding together how Extreme they are and Almost every litter i have Um you know at least half the litter Um will do well in a family situation And the other half with the exception of Maybe a couple dogs here and there do Well in a family situation with good Training Okay so And that’s me selling oh i’m almost the Way through the alphabets on my german Shepherd breedings i breed working line Dogs and i use Quite strong dogs quite high drive dogs In my breeding program otherwise i have No interest in really breeding them Because i’m looking to create working Dogs for me but the byproduct of that Breeding is the vast majority are dogs That can live in a family situation Because what does a family dog need to Have stability Okay that’s the most important thing People that complain about drive and Biting machines these are people that Don’t understand dogs they don’t
Understand training if you can’t handle A little bit of drive if you can’t Handle a little bit of character you Probably shouldn’t have a german Shepherd Maybe a chihuahua maybe something else If you buy a german shepherd you should Accept that they have a working Character and it’s not an Insane kind of unbearable thing it’s Just a normal working character okay That requires a little bit of training a Little bit of structure and if you’re Not willing to put that level of work in German shepherds aren’t for you Here’s another comment i i think is Interesting separating puppies early on This is my separating puppies early Video if you didn’t watch it guys check It out i really uh debunk one of the Common myths out there when it comes to Dogs okay this was by jessica martirano I think it’s dangerous to advocate for This um i actually didn’t advocate for Jessica the negative ripple effect of People thinking they can sell pups Faster to breed mom quicker under the Geist that it’s to make them more social To imprint them on humans that’s proved Catastrophic for the avian industry Well uh jessica unfortunately dogs are Not uh birds and it doesn’t matter how Early you separate puppies from mom She’s not gonna be ready to breed again
Any faster than she already would have Been females go into heat Average about every seven months Regardless of when you separate the Puppies some go a little sooner Some go a little later if you Move a from point a to point b Usually she’ll she’ll miss a heat There’s all sorts of things that can Impact the regularity of a dog’s heat Separating puppies sooner rather than Later certainly doesn’t i just had a go into heat again Um At the six month mark and her puppy Stayed with her until she was like until They were seven weeks old so uh and i Also didn’t advocate for it i simply Said that it’s a myth and it doesn’t Make any sense um to continue to Perpetuate something that’s incorrect And i don’t believe in you know i don’t Treat people like their children this Idea that oh you know we can’t say this Because people are gonna do that and This and everything else like you know The argument against when i talk to People when i say that neutering is Nonsense and generally completely Unnecessary it doesn’t impact the Behavior of the dog um and is it is more Does probably more harm than it ever Does any good people oh you can’t say That because so and so might be
Irresponsible and do this i don’t Operate in that type of world that’s the Type of world where if you know that’s The whole i’m a parent and people are so Stupid and they need me to be their Their daddy or their mommy that’s Extremely condescending and i didn’t get A successful channel um by giving by Treating people like like you know they Can’t handle the truth my channel in Fact thrives on truth we we say it the Way it is whether people like it or not Including you know stuff like this Separating puppies early Um let’s continue it has detrimental Life long physical impact well it Doesn’t with dogs birds are still wild Animals well dogs are domesticated but The question remains does it impact dogs Well i think birds are pretty Domesticated too now the ones that um You’re dealing with You seem pretty young have you followed All the puppies you bred until present Day or their death and really kept track Of any possible issues jessica I’m old enough Okay i’ve lived a i’ve lived a a rich Life Now maybe you’re in your 70s and Compared to you i’m pretty young But i’m gonna tell you i’m not the only One that says separating puppies early Um doesn’t impact them socially i also
Have this wonderful thing called common Sense okay I know dog behavior in and out it’s kind Of my line of work so when i see a puppy That’s more social Than 99 Of the other puppies in the same litter And i know the behavioral trajectory of Dogs because again it’s kind of my Business right and i do follow the Puppies by the way um That there’s this weird perception that It’s like the behavior of the dog just Fall like he’s social and then all of a Sudden when he hits like six years old He goes crazy and he’s not social Anymore now that’s certainly possible if There’s like neurological damage to the Dog But other than that their behavior Doesn’t change if the dog is is social Um and you know at two three years old He’s gonna continue to be social Right now of course can some Catastrophic event occur that would Change the sociability level of the dog Yeah it’s possible i mean i’ve certainly Met dogs that have had numerous Catastrophic events like their owner’s Dominant keeps getting them attacked and They’re still social right so You know and generally every single Puppy Especially in the working breeds they
Start more social than they end up being But i’ve certainly seen it the other way Where they’re actually less social and They become more social as they age so Either way Listen dog behavioral uh the the Behavioral trajectory of dogs is is Something that’s kind of my line of work It’s kind of you know why i have the Success that i have so don’t worry about My age i’m old enough to be a daddy Um But they never learned how to be a bird Okay Jessica these are dogs okay i’ve i’ve Had puppies where i’ve left them in the Litter until they’re like 12 to 16 weeks They weren’t any more dogs than the Puppies separated at you know a couple Weeks Uh would it truly produce a well-rounded Dog yes because a well-rounded dog Number one this idea that they need to Learn to be like well around a dog Doesn’t need like as you know if you if You follow my training We don’t advocate your dogs going and Playing at the dog park that’s not Well-rounded that’s not good or Productive from any kind of training Standpoint um i will say these the dog These puppies that i was speaking about That were separated early were extremely Social because guess what they weren’t
Just around humans they were around Other dogs too there’s this weird idea That like you know the dogs will have Like this deep like like communication With each other and they’re gonna teach Each other how to be dogs it’s nonsense Right like I’ve seen so most aggressive dogs okay Most dogs that are dog aggressive Um or or have issues with other dogs We’re not separated early And and that’s a fact All right guys this last one is going to Be a positive one i have two large dogs With severe reactivity i’ve followed Many other videos trainers a few from Youtube and techniques with commitment But never had the permanent results Until a program like this i actually Learned some Of this from another trainer but this Video captures it much better and i’m Planning to work with shield in some way Going forward i will say i think the Other videos by shield On foundational ideas make this more Effective i struggled with committing to A prong collar and some of the negative Corrections emotionally having had some Experience in particular And in particular bad experience this is By d johnson on my how to stop leash Pulling video i can’t believe that video Is free guys i re it really shouldn’t be
Free I i don’t know i’m i and i’m not just Joking for the camera i’ve actually Thought about taking that video down It’s it’s it’s just It’s the value on there is insane if you Know how to take it now a lot of people Just kind of oh another Leash pulling video every trainer’s got One yeah every trainer’s got one And most of them aren’t going to get you Very far This video if you watch it and you’ve Got a dog that pulls you around in half An hour if you follow my video the way i Tell you to do it your dog will no Longer pull you and for those of you Wondering yes you can use a pinch collar You can use a choke chain um you know It’s basically just got to be something That can deliver an aversive consequence Um When you Uh when you give when you give the leash A pop and i get into the why for that i Don’t just tell you to do it i i tell You why we do it and that’s the other Thing it’s not monkey see monkey do It’s here’s why here’s the scientific Reason why you do this right and then i Can explain to you why it’s leash Pulling people don’t get this Leash pulling is the magic it’s the Secret
It’s the secret to behavior right and You know again i’m saying this for free On youtube guys like and i don’t know How many of you are still listening Lease pulling is so much more than an Inconvenience Your dog leash pulling is the the Beginning of Numerous behavioral issues And you don’t want to know how many Behavioral issues i resolve Simply by removing the pulling it Completely changes the dog mentally when You do it properly most people don’t They kind of half-ass it and it’s a Little bit better and they’re not being Dragged around anymore so they think oh Okay you know i fixed the problem but They don’t really do it properly and They don’t really get all the benefits From it i’ve done this with with Thousands of dogs but well i shouldn’t Say thousands i’ve done it and seen it Done by my team and supervised it and Instructed it probably with a thousand Dogs by now And it’s remarkable the change it has on A dog when it’s done and followed Through with properly I got to do maybe another video on Really getting into the The magic of removing the pulling on the Leash but you want to know how many Problems i’ll tell you this when i have
Clients that have you know they either Bought a dog from me or they were Training with us like a year two three Years ago oh hey has you know things Were going great now so it’s it’s not Good anymore you know he’s doing this This you know it’s still good but you Know he’s still like he’s starting to go Back he’s starting to to to fall apart a Little bit Bring him back And i watch them in the parking lot the First thing that’s happening i almost Without a fail the dog comes out of the Car and he pulls them and he continues To pull them sometimes it’s just off and On and sometimes it’s just literally the Dog’s tractor pulling them again And i confront them why is your dog Pulling you oh Well you know we correct them sometimes That you know it’s our fault or or They’ll just be like well you know we Push the button or we do the pop thing And it doesn’t work and then i fix the Leash pulling again and it usually takes Me no more than like three minutes to Fix that leash pulling and oh all those Behavioral problems are gone again now We could get into the how and the y but That’s not really the purpose of this Video I just gave out some free dog training Information here um
