Why do people get these dangerous dogs. These people are insane
Thanks for your thorough comments about this situation. I also believe that pet guardians need to supervise their dog more carefully. I wonder why the concept of protection of a territory did not come up in your questions? Again I really follow your wealth of information and will continue doing so. Leila
Love "Ask Cindy"! Thanks Leerburg...
Sounds like he needs to build a fence. Sometimes, dogs just don't like each other.
'Trying is Dying ...' is an old smarty=pants quip. Did the owner have the dogs in crates or hire a real pro dog rehabber?
Control the dog or put it down
The dog can be rehomed.
The messages he read today were from my dad 3 yrs ago when we were having trouble with our dog Titus! He’s still reactive to other dogs, but not aggressive, just very excited, Titus is incredibly sweet and doesn’t do much now a days. My dad is now a dog trainer himself, with his own business, and we still train Titus daily. Titus is doing very well and so are we! We were very ecstatic about hearing our questions read yrs later after all the progress we’ve made with Titus :)
Your Dad wrote Cindy this past weekend and reminded her that she recommended a local trainer for him. He told her that he got the bug to learn more about dog training and has not started his own small dog training business. Thats really cool. We wish him the best.
I'm having similar issues with my cattle dog, trainers in my area are generally positive reinforcement only. Anything you could recommend that may help in general terms?
@@efrawley55 Did you mean "now" started his own....business?
Bullmastiffs were bred to take a man down it was an estate dog for the gamekeeper to stop poachers.people need to look at what a dog was bred for pick a dog that fits with you and your life.
I owned Bullmastiffs all my life. You may not be able to remove its terrororial aggression. Controlling his environment may be the best option.
Good advice!
I completely agree.....people get dogs with potentially territorial issues and think because the dog adores them and are great family dogs, that they will be that way with everyone. They are completely astonished when the dog displays these tendencies. It is the owners responsibility to see that the dog does not attack other people or dogs.
You are 100% correct - and this isnt just Bullmastiff's its any breed. Dogs that have been allowed to practise bad behavior for lob=ner periods of time are often not going to be trained out of that behavior. The can oonly be managed - forever
@@efrawley55 Yep these behaviors intensify through rehearsal. People love to croon that, "......its all in how you raise them...." I simply say, "You are wrong. it is not." Hey but it sounds nice and makes people feel good, right? People who say this are nitwits! If we are out and about in public, I try to protect us from the clueless and/or careless: If I am at the toy store w my 20 lb sport dog and someone walks in with one of these breeds, we walk in the other direction as fast as possible. If the dog os obviously aggressive, we just leave.
Good afternoon Ed!! I hope they seek further training from you. My father's friend broke up a dog fight, one of the dogs redirected back on him, badly bit him and damaged the tendons in a couple fingers, those fingers were permanently disfigured and were of no use after everything had healed.
I agree. - breaking up a dog fight is very dangerous - just look at some of the photos people have sent me of their own dogs biting them when they tried to break a fight. leerburg.com/dogbite.htm a warning - some of these pictures are disturbing.
I think when choosing a breed go for one that's in your power range,go for a breed that's easier to handle.
Plenty of dogs shouldn't be interacting with unfamiliar dogs. Just like plenty of people shouldn't be either.
Bullmastiffs are for estate protection. They will patrol the perimeter of their property. People must must must take into account what their dog is bred for b4 getting the dog. It sounds like your dog is kept inside for long times? Small house? Small yard? Not ideal for bullmastffs. Cannot be exercised with short walks, ball playing. Agreed that this dog is not likely to be changed, for all the reasons Ed explained. In addition, bullmastiffs never give up. Ever. He has started this, and accepted the mission. In my experience, once they've overpowered the owners wishes in this regard, they know it can be done, and will do it over and over. Make sure you have massive amounts of insurance, and don't put other dogs at risk by letting them "play". Once you've seen a bullmastiffs bite damage, it's not something you forget.
Those basket type muzzle they can drink and take a treat . Also until trained most ladies aren't strong enough to hold a dog that size when it's been reactive. Put sheepskin on the bit that's on bridge of nose.
Save up lots of money for her bills and other fines coming your way...
If the two dogs are intact males then it will be very difficult!%
He's not even full grown by 3 he will be a brute.
A frustrated pet parent is already a problem and only triggering the aggression even more.
Why don’t you get a dog breed that doesn’t have the potential to maim/kill? Try a poodle mix or golden retriever
A golden Retriever in the wrong hands can be aggressive as well. I know two. But I get your advice😂
WTAF SO MANY UNEDUCATED DOG OWNERS FFKS. DOGS GOT NO CHANCE 😠😠😠😠
Smh!!!! He is protecting his house. It is part of his breeding. A dog like this without a fenced in yard??? What was the fore thought??? They are extremely lucky. I wonder if there was any socializing?
This channel is stressful for me. 😵💫
It seems people have drunk the kool aid on the virtues of getting a “Rescue” dog, but don’t really understand that shelters minimize or hide aggressive pasts in dogs, and these folks don’t have a good understanding that some breeds are in fact hardwired towards certain impulses. They also don’t seem to have the energy or physical ability to exercise their dogs, and don’t grock the necessary upper body strength required to manage a mid to large sized dog that is power lunging towards a prey.
Their reasons for wanting a dog are obscure to me.
Our 2year neutered neighbour dog (Ridgeback) wants to kill our 4 year old intact GSD-Husky Mix. I am glad by now he actually defends himself, but he is too nice in general and has simply not enough aggression in him. I never had to use special collars and especially with cats and children he is the sweetest, respectful dogs as well. When we broke up the fight (their dog was unleashed, attacking us from a distance, my dog on a leash, me on the phone, tired after a tough nightshift (ER). It was a nightmare. Even though I am very light weight I never had problems to hold our dog, except this time when we got attacked. I know the neighbours are evil and extremely jellous of us, even though they act all nice in front of us. I know their dog is only mirroring their character and personality as I believe all dogs do after being with their owners (I see it everyday with our holiday dogs) Both dogs are not rescues with bad experiences but were gotten as puppies. That is when their dog actually wanted to play with mine, and boy was he nice, sometimes mildy corrective (GSD) but in generel the puppy was liked a lot. Then the puppy grew up and wants to kill😥
Thanks for putting these customer questions on, they're very helpful!
Hi, the link to the dog bite photos doesn't work anymore
Thank you for your great videos 💛
What can you tell me about the breed Labrador retriever bull mastiff mix
Why do you need a killer dog? forget the prong collar, get a baseball bat
I think they need to start controlling the dog inside the house, including threshold control, before moving outside. Until then, take the dog for walks in the neighborhood instead of letting it hang out on the deck in the presence of the other dog.
Speaking of learned behaviors , my yel lab was never taught to walk . I got him when the woman that owned him passed away . Walking was two heavy leashes , one on a composite pinch collar and the other on one of the harnesses that mi directs the dog when pulled , hahaha . He went wherever he wanted .
If there was resistance he just pulled harder . Well , most dogs never even learn to pull with all their strength , but this guy was really good at it . Almost four years old , it was the daily routine .
Took me to the ground a number of times . Took a good while , he is a good walker now though.
I am 67 and have had five dogs of my own since I was 20 . I always had an affinity for dogs .
I have been studying dogs and training since I retired . Dogs wear their hearts on their sleeves
You might say , most people just do not understand how to see it .
It is easier to just anthropomorphize them , much cuter too !
So I have trained all my dogs to be of leash dogs all my life with little formal training knowledge .
To me it just takes a good bit of common sense . Dogs are in a way much like little kids .
Well nuff said . Thanks for being out there . Gerard B
Reality Fact Check! Thank you.
Muzzle might help until person gets help.
wasn't the dog born with these "issues"?
You know it is male before he even starts!
So sad for those with “normal” dogs and have to live around these beasts. I don’t care if people like it or not but I carry. My job is to protect my animals and that’s what I intend to do.
So, is the sound of the collar; from the neighbors dog escalating the situation, or is it the mere presence of the neighbor's dog upsetting the mastiff? Or is it both the collar & neighbo'rs dog? We now know the mastiff went to NY & made nice with other dogs. Great! Interesting how the mastiff showed no aggression away from it's home. Mastiffs are territorial, protective of their people & property by nature . Undoubtedly, the neighbor's dog, I assume living in a rather close proximity; poses an immediate threat to the mastiff. By the way, what kind of dog is the neighbor's dog; dachshund, Jack Russell, golden retriever? Male or female? What gender is the mastiff? Suggestion: Both owners take both dogs together, on leashes; for long walks, DAILY. I've done this with shepherds. Had 1(male) that showed immediate aggression toward another dog; a husky (male). After both dogs & owners went on a few walks together; they became the best of friends in a short period of time. By doing this both dogs are automatically removed from their residence, placed on neutral territory by walking & coming home a bit tired after the walk. It also allows the dogs to smell each other; but not initially getting too close. Opposite genders make the task that much easier. If initially it has a rough start; bring a ball on a rope, jute Tug, treats or even scatter several pieces of kibble on the ground as distraction options. Stranger things have happened; right? Objective is to trick the mastiff into accepting the neighbor's dog; vs constantly rejecting it.
I've been bit 3 times and all of them breaking up fights with my dogs and I am sadly accustomed to breaking the up and still I can get bit. It's usually at the onset of the fight as one of my dogs recourse guards ME and if I don't notice his brothe coming up to the bed when he is laying down with me then he will just go after him and his brother will bite me accidentally when defending himself. It's never intentionally and since it's a reaction I can't really be mad at him. I took away his privilege of cuddling in my bed since he guards it but now he retaliates cause he can't and the other dogs can! Uuuggg I'm not a novice owner and have really struggled with my more than difficult one. But I don't regret keeping him because not many people would be able to even manage him. These incidents only occur once or twice a year but they do occur and it does suck when it does most of the time we don't give him a chance but occasionally we fail, human error.
Ya snoot loop , make a loop in the slip lead and pass it over the nose like a halti . Loop it like a slip lead so that when it is loose it does not stay tight . That is funny , I started doing so with my lab because he was such a terrible puller . He is good now , my gf uses a gentle leader , I still use a slip when walking him tho
This is definitely one for Dog Daddy to deal with!
Please spare us
anyone can fry a dog to be compliant... Leerburg and M.Ellis is alot better choice..
If the dog's nose is being rubbed raw he is doing it wrong !
Great video thank you for educating all of us and how to be safe with our four legged sharks
I have a balanced training business in Maryland. I wouldn't mind speaking with the owner.
Slip leads saves lives!
This person has no clue how to care for a large working breed. This dog should be taken from him. He literally believes he is going calm the dogs by abusing him more and in different ways. He acts this way because they have taught him it is acceptable. They should have a lab or Pomeranian or something. They should not have a large working breed or Mastiff.
I also would not let this dog interact with other dogs. Too dangerous. I would hire a GOOD trainer to come to the house. 12 months old is still time to fix this. Good luck. I understand your dilemma and I sympathize.
So what..... dogs do what they do. as any animal! And human!!
keep it in a cage or put it down
If you got cash .. 6ft privacy fence around the perimeter, invisible fence on outside of that perimeter
Muzzle train him so when outside of the perimeter he’s got it on
