Certainly seen some dogs that have had Too much bite work in a very um Civil setting so they’ve had it like Anywhere and everywhere in elevators and In the house Out in the local park everywhere and the Dog now looks everywhere for bite work Which isn’t healthy right the dog should Really have a good understanding of what The context of bite work is which is why I limit like i do enough civil work that I know it’s there but i don’t do so much That we create a ticking time bomb with The dog the average dog though doesn’t Fall into that category they don’t love It enough let’s let’s say but if you’ve Got like a really there are some dogs For sure that we train and i’m like oh This one i gotta be a little bit careful With him because for sure there’s more Potential that if we do too much civil Work he could go too far into that area But most people don’t have the dog Especially people asking me that Question no offense you’re not gonna Have that kind of dog All right somebody oh my god there’s Super chats i had no idea they’re super Chat How do you deal with clients that do not Follow your training program And also at what point do you fire a Client Issue a refund if you fire them
Um So it There it’s a couple of things so it Depends on what we’re doing i’m very Hard on clients that aren’t Following the program like there are Some people for sure like thankfully not Too many but there are some people that Come out And they do not try very hard um you Know or they just expect you to train Their dog for them and they’re not going To do any work and everything’s going to Be perfect these types of people you Know i usually put a lot of verbal and Social pressure on them to the extent That they start to change their behavior Or some of them [ __ ] ship out you know Some of them don’t come back and i’m Fine with that either way it’s good it’s Good you know because there are for sure Some people like that um i have Fired very few clients there are Certainly been a couple that you know Over the years i’ve said hey this isn’t Working like you’re you’re what you’re Doing is not fair to the dog i’m not i Usually say look i’m not going to hold Your dog accountable for behaviors that You’re not holding your dog accountable For so if you want your dog to behave a Certain way but you’re allowing all These behaviors and like i’ll literally Watch them like the dog’s like being
Reactive they’ve been told how to Correct the behavior and they just stand There like lumps on the doll Like lumps on a log While the dog’s just losing its mind and It’s like been like the fifth sixth time You know i was like hey look if you Don’t care i don’t care either right i’m Not gonna correct your dog anymore it’s Not fair because you’re not correcting Your dog so now we’re creating a Situation where there’s a lack of Consistency and that is abusive in my Opinion because the dog’s like what the Hell am i being corrected for no i was Always allowed to behave like this at Home And now he’s coming to shield canine He’s getting corrected for things that He’s normally allowed to get away with i Refuse at that point when i catch on That that’s going on and unfortunately Sometimes it is i’ll tell him flat out Hey look man this is the last time i’m Not correcting your dog anymore you Gotta care in order for me to care I mean if it’s a group class a lot of The time I’ll just be like hey look you can take The rest of the group class but Understand that i’m not gonna be doing Anything more with your dog right And i tell my trainers to do the same Thing
What’s your opinion on the and thanks For the super chat i didn’t even know That was on Um what’s your opinion on the two toy Method All right well jay Two toy is good i like it for Competition trading because it really Gets in the doc’s mind go grab turn Around and come back um and i really Like that for competition training Because it really bleeds into dumbbells When you throw the dumbbell and and the Dog grabs the dumbbell turns around come Back comes back um Um I i i don’t do it As a way to like generally teach the out I know that’s what a lot of people do Because their dog actually won’t let go And that’s why they do the two toy um For me the vast majority of dogs i mean There are a few that i’ve used to toy But i pair i don’t do it the way most People do it like as a trade i tr i use It i use with the e-collar In a way that i mean i’m not really Gonna get into right now but suffice to Say i don’t believe in trading too much Um at the end of the day for us to play With one another 99.9 of dogs um listen Dude like you gotta have some respect Right that’s part of the game i tell you To let go you let go then you get to
Have it again that’s the way it works And And the vast majority of dogs can handle That mentally um and then the ones that Don’t i might use the two toy method Like i said paired with the e or some Other stuff to create some clarity and Then i just go to one toy the only time I use two toys is when i’m training Competition work that’s the only time Never to get the dog to let go Thanks guys appreciate all the positive Stuff uh my nine month old schnauzer’s Reactive but i believe he’s far too Excited and wants to meet and play with Every dog do you approach the same yes Reactivity is reactivity right arousal Is arousal what is reactivity your dog Is directing arousal towards a specific Target Right for me it’s funny like i was just Filming today um as part of the Competition course i took my new dog Yaxi into the room and i was just Filming um A part of that course that we were doing And at the beginning of the session he Saw another dog in the room and he Decided not like angry or anything just Excited he started barking at the dog And i tuned him up for that and i put That in the course by the way so you Guys can see because that’s a big thing That a lot of people struggle with in
The competition world right oh no your Dog can’t be too close to my dog because My dog’s gonna lose his mind not be able To focus it’s nonsense Right because they learn in the training In the training i teach the docs like Very early when they’re very young don’t Direct arousal towards other things Arousal is mine all the arousal is for Me Okay now it’s a little bit different Than with the pet training i in that Case i don’t want arousal anywhere Towards me or anything but the Competition work arousal is mine you’re Stealing my arousal you’ve taken what Belongs to me and you’re spending it on Someone else or something else Unacceptable So you know i tuned him up he turns Around and starts barking at me i reward Him you know he figured it out real Quick Right so these are the kinds of things That people arousal is fine it just Better be coming this way now for a pet No arousal at all directed towards you Know the target now if the dog tries to Redirect on me well then that’s also a Bad day for him clarity right Um How well trained do you think you could Get a french bulldog Get a french bulldog perfectly trained i
Mean i like them they’re they’re Stubborn you know i’ve definitely had Frenchies that eat like a hundred on an E-collar like it’s a candy Um but it’s no problem to train them With or without an With or without any collar they’re Generally highly food motivated they’re Generally highly play motivated um They’re stubborn like most bulldogs are And independent but also quite smart They also have a pretty high arousal That a lot of the time they’ll you know Aim at other dogs which is normal for Any kind of bully Okay this is a super chat so funny i Have no idea how i even turned the super Chats on i don’t know why it’s on I know the topic is analyzed to death But i’d like to hear your thoughts on Diet i often hear german shepherds have Food sensitivities Um No i don’t think uh most german Shepherds have food sensitivities what i Find is a lot of owners run around like Crazy if their dog gets a little Diarrhea or a little hot spot and they Tr they change the food a half a million Times and then arbitrarily decide that The dog is allergic to x y or z listen I’ve i’ve had a lot of german shepherds And i can count i think maybe like one Or two were like legitimately allergic
To something right And i’m not saying that that doesn’t Happen you know knock on wood i hope None of my current dogs ever get that But Nine times out of ten what i find Happens is people put their dog on Something new like they get the dog and They put it on something new and the dog Gets an upset tummy or the dog is doing Well and then maybe just get sick as Dogs do gets like you know crazy Diarrhea or vomiting or whatever and it Goes on a little bit maybe longer than The owner’s comfortable with and then They get they panic And um you know they change the food Like again and then they change the food And they i had a client who did this Right like he took the dog home he put The dog on a food I think the dog actually caught giardia And he thought it was the food so he Kept switching the food and the dog’s Stomach got so messed up and he was Telling me oh the vet says he has epi he Has this i said nonsense i had that dog For months and i was feeding him Whatever in the kettle So i told him Stop switching i don’t care what happens Use this specific blend of food like Just a kibble okay a salmon based kibble I like fish-based kibbles for sensitive
Dogs use this don’t switch off of it no Matter what After like three weeks the dog had Settled down his system had normalized There was no more epi or any of this Other stuff that’s the other thing to be Aware of unfortunately a lot of vets Might take you on a little bit of a wild Goose chase and you know Medications and switching foods and all This type of stuff you have to be Careful Thanks to you my german shepherd is a Well-behaved boy much love from the Philippines thank you my friend How many verbal corrections should a Puppy get before you give him a physical Correction Well I i wouldn’t I really am very careful you know a lot Of people see With puppies A lot of people really see like you know Are more adult dogs and then they try to Like hold their puppy accountable To the That behavior that they see our adult Dogs expressing And that’s that’s not fair to the puppy A lot of the time people are asking oh My puppy’s pulling me my puppy’s barking It’s a baby just chill out Walk them feed them do a little bit of
Positive training with the food our Puppy course goes over all of this stuff What is and is not acceptable for Puppies can you train puppies to a very High level yes and i’ve done it before Like with malwa puppies and stuff where I’ve trained like a four-month-old puppy To heal off leash and sit and down and Do everything reliably But i don’t believe in it Just like i’m sure i could take my Three-year-old son and force him to do a Lot of things he doesn’t really want to Do I don’t believe in it i don’t think it’s Good for your puppy so there are a few Unacceptable behaviors like if my puppy You know Like legitimately tries to bite me over Something well then i’ll tune his ass up And he’ll learn better um but generally There isn’t a lot that i put tons of Pressure uh place command For those of you in my course you’ll Know kind of where we put the pressure On the puppies but generally i keep the Training relatively positive and my Expectations quite low Okay How’d that go Okay Sorry guys Tell me if the connection the tech Connection kind of got a little funny
There because i turned on my battery Saver Because my phone’s a little bit low Um Could you use a bonker for a dog who Redirects and won’t stop with the Correction It’s an option I love the video you did on resource Guarding oh thank you At what point while working with a dog With behavioral issues reactivity Resource guarding would you come to the Decision after exhausting all training Methods Or would you decide to euthanize a dog Very rarely There are a number of issues to consider So Safety Right for me i generally have a very low Tolerance for dogs that um are Aggressive towards small children and to The extent where it’s not just hey leave Me alone aggression it’s i’m gonna Legitimately nail you put you in the Hospital maybe kill you Um there are certainly a number of dogs I’ve run into that have that problem and Right off the hop i tell the owner yeah That’s never going to get better and i Would never trust them around a small Child and it’s not worth your small Child either getting
Life-altering injuries or possibly death To work with this dog put them down for Me any dog that shows that ideation and I’ve dealt with a few unfortunately I i don’t and a lot of them by the way By the time they come to me they’re Already telling me hey look he already Bit my kid my kid got stitches but No Get that that’s not worth it i’m sorry Um i just i don’t see it right Now there are some other instances so I’ll talk about something that happened Recently Um One of my trainers hey guys i think i Lost you guys there Sorry Uh All right Let’s see what happened here i had Connectivity issues Okay Let’s uh go through this quickly Oh larry i see you in here or i saw you In here Um Where was i oh yeah so we were talking About dogs where i think it it’s it’s Kind of you know maybe the best ideas to Euthanize the dog so we talked about the Small children Recently we had a dog so he had bitten Multiple family members very very
Severely So we took the dog and i’m always very Honest with the owners and i tell them Look I think Um You know i think that this dog the Outlook probably isn’t very good he’s Very unstable and like he didn’t just Bite them like he bit them right and it Was whenever he became uncomfortable About anything Right he would just attack and like not A little attack he would really attack And that’s the problem right so anyways We had him six weeks of training we Really worked on pushing a lot of his Buttons he tried a few times but you Know he was pretty good So here’s the deal the family decided um And of course i’m not going to say who It is or what the dog is or anything the Family decided hey look we love them we Care about them so much we can’t live With them because you know a couple of The family members were just too scared Understandably so Um so we’re going to send them to Another country we they knew somebody in Another country that wanted the dog Believe it or not a dog trainer said Fair enough so they came they took the Dog to the vet The the vet gave the dog a health
Certificate whatever whatever dog comes Back So heff who’s a guy who does a lot of Our aggressive dogs um you know he’s Just real comfortable with the Aggressive dogs He goes up to the family he’s been Training the dog six weeks dog knows him He’s had you know He’s the dog’s not in a muzzle or Anything like that because we kind of Progressed past that And heff Made a critical error and it’s not his Fault because i might have got caught Like that he basically reached for the Leash Because we were going to take the dog Back until they could fly the dog out And the dog was with mommy and daddy and The dog You know you know anything about Aggressive dogs you know they’re much Worse with their people especially their People don’t know how to handle Anyways dog Right away grabbed him by the hand And unfortunately his thumb ended up in The back of the dog’s mouth the dog Re-gripped and basically crushed the end Of his thumb so we’re going to do a Little video on that separately not Actually showing it of course because we Didn’t have a camera rolling but
A video just kind of talking about it And maybe we’ll show the fun and stuff Like that half will be fine i know where He’ll be back to work soon but just a Little interesting so for that kind of Dog i say look look this is a dog that Can live with very few people you Certainly wouldn’t trust around small Children no matter what Training doesn’t fundamentally change What a dog is and and i think you know The fundamental temperament of a dog is Genetic what training does it it gives You control right and certainly over Time if you’re exhibiting control you’re Not allowing a dog to Do certain things and and self-satisfy With certain behaviors you will see Their temperament begin to change and That can happen sooner rather than later Depending on the dog i’ve certainly had Dogs that were really unfriendly coming Here and left super social right but the Vast majority i would say you know if They’re anti-social as long as you you Train them you show them hey this is Unacceptable this is acceptable it Doesn’t fundamentally make them social Per se But it gives the owner now the ability To have a dog live a normal life with The dog everything’s good and i’ve said It a hundred times and i’ll say again my Dog gage is not social he does not like
People he is a very reactive and nasty Dog by nature he’s great with me he’s Relatively good with my family he better Be right um but i i can’t let anyone Touch him in public and i manage him Properly i can walk him off leash down a Busy road right but i’m not gonna let People touch him and i’m not gonna set Him up to fail and that’s the big thing With a dog like that right so there are Certainly instances Larry Nice to see you my friend Hey for those of you who haven’t checked Out larry’s book um i actually bought Larry’s book It’s it’s uh It’s a good you know It’s funny because uh i’ll chill for Larry i’m sure he’ll send me some some Some royalties um i liked larry’s book Because i read it And you know as a dog trainer i’m sure i Stole something from it but it was a Long time ago that i read it um i’m sure I stole something from it i can’t tell You exactly what it is if i remembered Exactly i would tell you because a i’m a Thief i will whatever i find i said it Before i’ll say it again i’m a dog Training pirate if there’s if there’s Something i i like or or or think it’s a Bit better than what i’m doing i’ll take It and i’ll incorporate it into what i
Do um you know generally i won’t like Res now that i’m doing online courses And stuff like that i won’t resell it um Uh i won’t resell it like and say hey This is me like i will not do that but Everything i like i like to take a Little bit from everybody so larry’s Book is i liked it because i thought you Know Somebody could read this book and not Know how to train a dog on a knee caller And it wouldn’t do any harm like even if They really were an idiot right like it Wouldn’t do any harm when it came to Like training with with the uh Uh with the e-collar like you know like And if you were somewhat competent and You read that book i think you’ll have a Pretty well-trained dog by the end of it So you know especially when it comes to Recalls and stuff like that so i i think That book was uh uh you know a very uh Good book for people who had no idea how To train a dog with an e-collar Yeah That was the exact purpose and it makes Sense it makes sense But hey i appreciate the love larry I think you know me and larry larry at Some point we should have a discussion Maybe because i think we disagree on Some things it’s always more interesting To disagree than
