I really wish that more people would watch and absorb this material. There would be a lot of better-off Malinois that would actually get to go places with their people.
Yeah, I took in a Malinois last week after an emergency situation, getting her out in public without her freaking out is extremely hard, it requires constant focus on her to correct even the slightest distraction. If I don't do this she literally freaks out and I have to get her to a safe space asap. The previous owner did a really shitty job albeit living in a city... We are making progress, but it's slow and hard because of her past.
I'm really not sure what that statement means. How does it make her weaker? This dog is timid, so there really isn't a whole lot to correct. She needs to build confidence. What he was demonstrating was maybe mild corrections to redirect her but he was using mostly positive methods. A really headstrong dog is a different story. You can't let those get away with an inch or they'll take a mile.
Watching and you commenting and explaining your psychology/method/techniques really helps us "beginners" appreciate the need to expand our awareness of how to interact with our dogs
if you listen to this with the headphones on...you really realize what this country dog goes through on a walmart parking lot ... keep up the great training info :)
I'm glad you made the distinction that when you had her on the pinch collar and she was less stressed than when she was on the flat collar that it was because of her training in regards to the pinch collar and the fact that she had structure, and not the tool itself. It's not magic.
Can’t say how I like this enough. I’m nowhere close to your level of training but have been using these principles for decades. If only I had the money there would be no doubt who I would purchase a dog from .... and learn from.
We know dogs have been with us for thousands of years if not more. It would fascinating to see all the methods threw out time going back to the first wolves we bonded with.
@@shootmovecommunicate3322 you obviously don’t get it, its to look at both environmental and training practices threw out the evolution between man and dogs/wolves. 10000 years is nothing in the whole history and cultures have changed. Like a trainer who is able to handle the toughest of dogs, seeing how they handle war dogs and before that the first wolves would answer ? To some of the biggest arguments in dog training. See one of the points you made about me having wolves is interesting because half the reason looking back threw time would be interesting because we could see the culture and methods use that maybe alien to us now. Where i’m from we killed all the wolves a long time ago before we had guns! If you don’t like thinking outside the box i get it, sheep live a good life 😂
Great info. This is also the case with my 16 months mallinois. When I give her the right pressure I can see her becomming more strong and confident. I tend to belive this kind of dogs are the kind that think to mutch. Please share more videos with her and the progress. Thank you.
My 4 month old mal pup is like this whenever we're outside. He completely ignores food anyway when he's too anxious (ie whining, pulling, shaking) so this is a really really good idea.
This is my Mal 100%. Even down to the sweaty feet. However if I do that to him, the mouthing starts, high pitch yipping and can’t turn him off without a harder correction- not good. Second, can you do that without a prong?? My boy knows when it’s not on him and takes advantage of the situation like when I come home, jumping, barking and even gets more pushy with the wife.
sounds like you need to teach your dog PLACE. its simple. - but turn the place position into a HAPPY place. not a bad place. reward for placing. one or two areas in the house. you guys just gotta research
Hi - have watched a few of your videos now... you have changed my mind about an ecollar which is quite an achievement; this is a huge step for me if I used one; is there a way or are there ‘foundation’ videos ... ‘where to start’ section? (Ps I’m not in USA otherwise I would come see you! I’m a UK citizen in France)
I love all your training videos, thank you for sharing. I have learned so much! I have question. I notice you did not let her explore (i.e. sniff or touch) new objects she was "worried" about....is it always better to keep their attention only on handler in new surroundings, or do you ever allow them to touch/smell, new things you are exposing them to for the first time?
It’s different for every dog but it’s best to take as many steps back as the dog needs before they are comfortable enough to accept rewards. I’m not a dog trainer but I’ve been told to do this by several professionals and it works really well.
My 5 month pup seems to be really afraid of other dogs when they are barking (wish I knew what they were saying to her) and when she sees random dogs. However after being with them for a bit she begins to bully them especially bigger and older dogs. What can I do and what should I do
He is a top level pro dog handler/trainer with a Belgian Malinois. He does not handle 'regular old dogs' and a person thinking clearly will leave serious dog breeds alone. GSD, Malinois, Rottweiler, Akita, some Rhodesian Ridgebacks are 'too much dog breed' for most owners. And nearly NO OWNER takes all of 1 basic obedience class, let alone all of a CGC certification. Use common sense.
Well going off your comment, guess I'm not thinking clearly...because I'm a first time dog owner with a female GSD. She is 3 now, and is a wonderful dog because of the time and effort I put in her training. True, a handful of people told me I was brave getting a GSD as a first time dog owner. But I'm proving them wrong haha 😄
@@Erin_29 I also have a female shepherd who is 3. She had a lot of serious behavioral issues even though I did everything I was supposed to do with her when I got her as a puppy. She ended up going for a 5 week board and train. She came out of the program a totally different dog because she was so well trained. She has been out of the program for 2 years now but every single day I take her out and practice all things I need to do with her to keep her training up. This includes off leash stuff and a structured walk. This has worked out well for me because I have the 2 hours every day to do that and I love being outdoors but not everyone would want to or be able to do that. I am not saying all German Shepherds are like she is because I know they are not but they do require a firm handler, lots of daily exercise and some kind of training even without any behavioral issues. For this reason I would not recommend a German Shepherd for the first time dog owner without doing the proper research. If they decide they want to buy a German Shepherd puppy going to a good breeder is essential.
This is where I see the understanding of positive reinforcement and reward is lacking. I know you're using praise because you want to tell your dog she's doing well. But if the dog doesn't actually find it rewarding, then it won't reinforce any behaviour. As you know, behaviour that gets reinforced becomes stronger over time, or more likely to reoccur. Most dogs don't find praise to be rewarding. Can you imagine trying to use praise with a clicker? It wouldn't work, behaviour wouldn't get reinforced and the dog wouldn't repeat the behaviours you wanted! Your intention was to reward your dog, but you're literally not using any positive reinforcement for this entire training session.
Its always amazing to me how poorly people are able to read K9 body language. Watch again more closely, everytime I praise the dog or make auditory and nonverbal arousing signals..
@@shieldk9 most of her body language shows stress. Panting, paw lifts, lip licks, head turns, slinking, hypervigilance. Every time a person walks by, she falls apart, can't follow basic cues or stay near you because she wants to escape, and you have to correct her. The only reason she's responding is because of the prong collar, not the praise. The praise isn't reinforcing anything. The only "happy" response she gives you is a forced, conditioned response you taught her where she's jumping all over you, but honestly she looks mostly anxious and amped, not happy. I can read body language just fine, thanks. I'm just saying, there's no positive reinforcement here. I like watching your videos because I'm trying to learn more about prong and ecollar and your content is very clear, plus you show a lot of actual dog training. But I also hear a lot of shots being taken at positive based training so I can't help but to call some things out. I know the limits of purely positive, but there's a lot more you can do with positive reinforcement than just luring and bribing. In this video you say Dizzy could probably be trained purely positive. I agree, she's that kind of dog. But then you say it would make her weaker? Do you think she would become more skittish? What makes you think that?? How would you know? I doubt you have ever trained any dog purely positive, not even a border collie!
I really wish that more people would watch and absorb this material. There would be a lot of better-off Malinois that would actually get to go places with their people.

My 4 1/2 month old GSD run from other dogs and people.How can I get him to overcome these things??? Please help 🥺
watch a LOT of videos on how to calm dogs down in stressful situations. its not hard once you start watching tons of vids and doing your research.
Your dog and mine has something in common.
Basically it's okay for the dog to walk ahead of you a bit as long as the dog is not pulling?
