@@blackout4203 I agree no need to neuter but goodbye dog park if it’s a dominant breed like a corso. Not that those dogs are aggressive they just won’t put up with being punked.
@@richardnoggen4808 What logic owner would take their dog to a Pet Park in the first place? Oh, that's right only your typically emotionally driven "Pet Person."

People need to start doing research about what breed of dog they’re getting. You get a breed that’s been bred for generations to be stand-offish and don’t understand why they don’t get along with other people or dogs? Stop getting dogs just cause they look cool and get what matches your social lifestyle.
Agreed. I see people in apartments or small houses that want working breeds, like husky, Jack Russel, border collie etc. ( dog breeds that need hours of exposure/work to be happy and live well) and expect/want them to be couch potatoes.
@@kateb5233 Yup! But not just folks in apartments. My neighbor has TWO huskies that haven’t been beyond her front gate in years and she can’t understand why my young mutt isn’t a menace like her dogs. Ma’am, that’s because I walk my dog. Having a high energy breed and not fulfilling their energy requirements should be considered dog abuse.
I’m currently raising my 3rd Dogo. My first Dogo I started obedience school at 4 months. He then rode with me for 8 months 4 days a week in a handicap bus I was driving. Best training ever. He met various dogs traveling with their owners. Seeing eye dogs, rescues, emotional support, never had any problems. I always kept him by my side and he would greet them as they got on the bus. He was never neutered. My second Dogo a spade female. She was a year old when I acquired her. Ironically she was an offspring of Morocho the Dogo in Argentina that rescued the 2 young girls from the puma. She has been a wonderful dog. This video is so true. You should never let your guard down. These are very powerful dogs and it doesn’t take long to kill or maim smaller animals. I personally have seen my female take down several javelina that are wandering around the desert were we live. They instinctively know what there supposed to do. Exercise, training and love is very important.
I am absolutely blown away with how calm and confident Snuffy is. Absolutely incredible dog! Best of luck with training going forward, not many people can get a breed like that behaving so well.
This breed is very confident, not to say that some aren't but for the most part most are and they're very good dogs for experienced, responsible people to own. 🥰
Dogos are something serious! I researched them for 6 months before I got my boy nodens. He was the most dominant litter mate. Their confidence is so amazing
Dogos are not for the casual dog owner. They need constant exercise, discipline, mental stimulation, and socialization. My 14 month Dogo is STILL my 2nd full time job. If you can't put in the time, or the physical demands of taming a Spartan, be content on watching videos on someone elses Dogo. 😎
My boyfriend is from Argentina and he says there's all these packs of wild dogs all over the place. If they're all dogs like this one, I don't wanna go over there.
Sniffy is part of our dog group and he is an amazing member. He plays with my dog panda, we call her the krazy b. Sniffy, is dominant. Yet, súper obedient to mom and other peers of the group. We are happy to have him in our circle.
I have had a female dogo argentino for 8 years. Shes the best companion at home, but outside home or with visitors, ALWAYS safety first. No matter if I think she is unhappy, I think about human safety first. These dogs are not to be messed with.
I've seen a couple dogs like this. I always described this attitude as "chill until challenged", but then as soon as challenged they were laser focused on demonstrating who is in charge.
Yet another brilliant video, Joel! I only met a Dogo once - male dog, very confident, tail up high, approaching slowly, but the dog was lose on a property me and my husband walked past with our female dogs, both on leashes. No owner in sight. Panic set in. In me, at least, whilst the husband was quite oblivious on the kind of dog we were facing. Our dogs totally lost it upon seeing the massive Dogo, and were lunging and barking at him. I stepped in front of my younger dog and yelled my head off, desperate to alert the owner as I knew what these dogs could do, and was seriously concerned about the well-being of both my dog and myself. Surprisingly to me at the time, the Dogo, upon seeing me step in front of my dog and yell at him, stopped. And when his owner came to get him, he went to him just like Sniffy returned to Joel on cue in the video. The owner said the dog didn't do harm to other dogs, but I preferred to not test the waters. We did have a nice conversation at that point though, about his dog and how well-behaved he was. A true gentleman, being respectful of the females no matter how weird they behaved. When I grew up in Germany a few decades ago, this was NORMAL behavior of male dogs. No male dog (no matter how aggressive towards other males) would, EVER, to my knowledge, harm a female, even if she was barking and snapping at him. But nowadays, one hears of this happen all the time; weird, I don't think males aggressing females is normal canine behavior. Anyway, thanks a ton for the video, Joel!
What a great video Joel! You give body language info where we can see exactly what you are describing. You provide the hows, whys, and because, in a very clear way. The illustrations and how you speak are in everyday language. It's like you could be talking face-to-face with anyone of us on this channel, and this is precisely whoyou would be. You can't get anymore genuine than you are. You are a remarkable dog trainer and more than a remarkable person. 🌟
Doggo Argentino are almost always like this! They’re bred to be somewhat animal aggressive and very very protective, IMO dogs like these need to be working hard or they will be problems most of the time! They’re like an elite athlete, they need a proper work programme and massive exercise!
because theyre fucking beasts. my dogo runs 6-7 miles daily and still could probably go for another 7 if i had the time and energy to do it, he makes me feel unathletic
I loved this video! More on Dogo Argentino please Joel! Such a beautiful dog! Yes I love Prince too! Thank You for sharing this awesome knowledge with us all Joel and Company!
7:18 there is a clearer shot of hair being raised. Tip for new dog owners, if your dog goes stiff when looking at another dog, and the hair on their shoulders and along their back stand up, they are excited and gearing up for something, usually an attack. If it happens while playing, it's not too bad. If it happens if your dog is looking at another dog and they are fixated and still and STARING, it's usually a dominance or intimidation display. HOLD YOUR LEASH TIGHT AND CORRECT THEM IMMEDIATELY.
The leash should be loose, and mom should be ready-down and to the side for a correction. She knows this. And, never a tight leash. They can feel any tenseness from the arm, through the leash to the collar, which they can react to. With a tight leash, they can feel every quiver.
Great job joel. I love how you break it down on what it is at the dog is doing and what is tolerated and what is not tolerated. It's very clear and decisive. Thank you for all your info.
You!...definitely need to binge watch all his videos. You will go nuts. When you’ve watched the last one I bet you’ll start up your own dog training business. 😊
Agree! Which is better than without because even than some owners let their dogs to run after my Dogo. And with such breed you are always quilty when situations happens!!!
I grew up near where this Dogo’s were breed. In Cordoba Argentina. They are great family dogs in the house, a true asset on the field and a stud of a guard dog. They have pleasant temperament and are loyal to the core. The love / need / thrive with a strong leader though.
I have one. He’s about 15 months. Here’s the thing… they are very confident of their abilities. A real dogo will always be up for a fight… but you can train them to control that impulse. I have four dogs total: a Doberman, malamute, shepherd mix, and dogo. I have had fights in the past, but like twice a year. I have them all on my other RUclips channel, and show how we all live and train together.
I'm from Argentina, I've seen some real hunting Dogos... They are the sweetest dudes but they do growl naturally. And take my word, "loosing a fight" is not a concept in them
They were created using the baddest pit fighter in Argentina actually. A breed that would rather kill than mate. Cordoba fighting dog... the genetics are there. I have 8, one is grandson to Morocho the dogo he speaks of that killed puma saving 2 girls (the creators grandson's daughters actually!) La Cocha Kennels.... they don't fight when it's time to work but a lot of Dogos are dog aggressive, or same sex aggressive and what it boils down to is the genetic drive that tells it to die before backing down.
Joel, you’re just the best. That poor woman had a scared look on her face. I hope her time with you helped. Sometimes the training is more about we dog owners learning to manage a dog, and learning that we cannot change a dog’s nature. Correcting bad behaviors is one thing, but understanding the difference between what we can change and what we can’t can make a world of difference in how we go forward in our lives with our dogs, and deciding what situations we simply should not put them in based on who they are. I loved how you praised all that is good about this dog. I hope the woman was able to find some confidence in her session(s) with you. I truly wish you lived in my area. You do an awesome job of conveying your methods over You Tube, but live sessions with you must be awesome.
I have a 9 month old female dogo argentino. Sweetest, smartest, and definitely strongest dog I've been around and owned. Always fun to watch how others behave and how they are trained and worked with. I love seeing tips and advice all over and adding it to our routines. Such a beautiful, intelligent, powerful, and loving breed. Hope others have good experiences like I am having. It does take a lot of work no doubt, but it's very rewarding when done properly.
They don't come into their own a lot of times until 1½-2 years so be aware that your girl might go through some changes in temperament around that time and if she does it's normal for this breed. A lot of mine are okay with other dogs until about that age and then if they sense even the slightest challenge it's a death match to them and it's one of the most horrible things you can imagine so please, learn her body language well and if you feel maybe she's testing you or others you can always reach out to Dogo folks with experience. I've always gotten plenty of great feedback and training tips that actually work as well.... there's a lot of tricks and nuances that you won't find with many other breeds so the experience with the breed helps a lot... or someone that understands dogs period such as how he understands Prince and his many difficult clients lol... your dogo may also be one that is not going to act at all like a dogo... no disrespect here but it's a truth that is becoming unfortunately, more seen as they become popular and people want them as pets. True dogos are working dogs and if you don't understand that (not you personally but anyone really...) you just don't really know the breed imo. They're not for everyone.... they're not for most people actually and for good reason. Good luck with your girl though!!! A good relationship is key to anything else so
@@sanmiguelterritoriodeldogo742 hey thank you for your input, luckily the breeder lives close by and is still helping me with her, I have already seen changes in who she will allow near her or me, so I am paying very close attention, and learning her body language, I also realize that she is not the only one who needs training, I know there are so many things I have to learn with her, Dogo's are not your ordinary dog, but worth the effort...
@@sanmiguelterritoriodeldogo742 Wise words, and thank you for the great comment. Totally agree on everything you said. Definitely keeping an eye on her everyday to see how her temperament evolves in certain situations and scenarios. She's definitely become a little more protective and vocal in the last 2 months. Nothing that's been a problem. Just helping her learn what could be considered a threat and what is normal stuff. But definitely will reach out with questions as they come. As I'm sure they will haha. Cheers!
At about 1 year old, we had to stop going to the dog park. The change when they become adults is considerable. Still a great dog and with training not aggressive but, assertive and dominate.
@@lovesees4320 Is circumcision illegal also? Because these dogs are young and under when it happens, like the babies when they get the snip snip. It doesn't even get stored into their memory.
This was great Beckman! My demo dog and best friend was my Dogo Stella. She was SO good, and So well trained. I love Dogo's, but decided on a Cane Corso for this Demo dog I've got now.
8:54 - 9:30 Mom's body language, and constant backing up whenever Sniffy moves toward her the slightest bit, are continually communicating fear and a lower status...
Joel may have instructed her to backup… he often tells clients not to let the dog come and seek comfort or approval. I could be wrong though cause he was voicing over
@@rollcity9244, not a _terrible_ theory... yet I doubt a good trainer would instruct an owner to back up with an excited, approval-seeking dog as a general rule. I learned from Cesar Millan the "no touch, no talk, no eye contact" rule when meeting a new dog (in order to earn its trust by keeping it -- and yourself -- calm). You can stand your ground without giving comfort or approval. (He calls this posture "calm, assertive.") This woman appears _reactive_ and afraid, in this clip.
*Lupita Torres,* if you're reading this: I did not mean my comments above as a criticism, _in any way,_ of you or Sniffy. Twenty-three years ago we took in a 9-month-old, very dominant (alpha), male American bulldog. My partner and I had to learn how to become pack leaders, and we made some mistakes along the way. Eventually, though, we came to understand we had to project a higher-status energy whenever we were with our guy. Most animals read energy exceptionally well, and dogs want to know, clearly, where they stand in the pack hierarchy. I always sensed that my guy felt he was an "apha-in-waiting" -- meaning, if anything were to happen to me, he was ready to step into my role. Until that time, however, as among the three of us, he was the one who had to back up. 👨🐶👩
@@jimreadey4837 he does it all the time. In this scenario the dog isn’t that bad and I’m not rewatching it but he’d been pushy and bullish already and he very often tells owners not to let the dog seek gratification from them soon after misbehavior, or occupy much of their space when they’re anxious
This dog is pretty cool, but definitely a no nonsense kinda guy! They've done a really remarkable job with him and he seems like his personality could be a challenge but they really brought him along very well. I hope they are able to handle his dominance but it is the type of thing they have to work with. Doesn't seem like it would go away, he is what he is in this case. He's an intimidating dog by presence alone but surprisingly well behaved.
Omg this is so helpful This dog is like my dog!!! I have a mutt - Alaskan Malamute mixed with rotti, mastiff, bulldog and husky etc. She is a dominant female - well trained but also needs so much management. She has dog friends but man she can be evil with a dog that challenges her. Thank you for this video. I have been wondering if I’d need a private session but this answers what I’ve been told - I can’t change her nature, just manage her. Obviously no dog parks for her!
So many owners get dogs that they're afraid of. People always want big tough dogs until they really have a big tough dog. Then they want their big tough dog to not be so tough.
Very responsible observation/comment regarding the nature of the dog breed, which is an important consideration for any owner in considering a new addition. Also, in another video, you also highlighted realistic expectations (Ares) age considerations, which for any of us who have owned senior dogs in the sunset period of their lives (and I've had several) understand well.
I like the way you point out the moment in which a correction or change happened in the dog. Can you use slow motion segments when this happens. Body language of a dog can be quick and hard to notice for an untrained human eye…..
That is a beautiful looking dog. My rescue Staffy Boxer cross, is a big, powerful dog and his behaviour is similar to this dog. Originally I could not get within 100ft of a dog, without his going crazy on the lead and showing all signs of anxiety. But using Beckman's advice, he is at this stage now and vastly improved in his behaviour. When I get close to a dog, he still can be a bit reactive by trying to get closer to the dog, but a lead pop corrects that. He now does a play bow dogs but I would not risk him off the lead or let him sniff a dog if he is not calm. He has now sniffed three dogs, which is massive progress. But with his sudden reactivity when he gets excited and realising that he will always be a dog with a dominate nature, I accept the fact I may never be able to let him off the lead and play with other dogs. I've changed his behaviour in many ways, but he will always be the nature and character that he is. I've had dogs all of my life (Even an Akita), brought up from pups and trained them to be excellent with their behaviour off lead. This dog that I got a 5 years old and I have no idea of his history and experience, apart from being told his last owner only had him a month and he pulled the owner over, breaking their ankle. I got him a couple of weeks after that. There's been a lot of work in undoing his multiple incorrect behaviours, but although I wished I could get him to behave like my previous dogs, I know he will never get to that stage. He is a wonderful dog though. Thanks Beckman, this video made total sense.
Opinion alert: I typically like your technique but with this Dogo I can tell you that your approach should have been to put Sniffy's mom in the "Alpha" category from lesson one. D.A.s are awesome family dogs, very intelligent but very pack oriented, and take a heavy hand (not for the faint of heart). Also, the tail and ears are not a true indicator for D.A.s. You have to pay attention to what my family calls "getting fluffy"! That hair at the neck and tail. In any case, as long-time Dogo owners, they do typically become more dog friendly and easier around the two-year mark with good firm corrections and it doesn't seem to be nuts or no nuts dependent! 😁Keep up the great work.
Omg thank you for your comment! I'd like to know more about how you've managed your dogos throughout the years. I feel like I need to talk to someone who has owned dogos and get some tips. Thanks again for commenting on your experience.
Lmao....Damn it if you're not right on about the 2 year mark and all else as well. I've had the hardest time trying to find someone to help me with training for IPO.(Schutzhund) because either they're too intimidated by the dogos or they don't get their differences from most dogs. I've got 7... it's an effffing handful alright. You know what some of the best advice I got was? To treat this breed like an automatic weapon she realize that if you f×@k up, you or someone else/ something else can get hurt it killed. Serious dogs but regal and second to none if you're crazy enough to partner with them lol
Also, Ecollars help especially tiny female owners such as myself that aren't taken as seriously as we need to be. You have to bully the bully in some ways. Can you effing imagine any kind of positive only training with these breeds?!?! No thank you! Strong corrections and even sweeter rewards work for my dogos. They do hit those ages where they're gonna test you. The creator took a dog that literally COULDN'T BE BRED as they'd rather kill each other. Genetics are strong. They needed a dog that had what it takes to kill puma and boar or fight it after days of riding. The dog it takes is the Dogo Argentino. That's why they're called the King of Dogs. What do you imagine when you think of a king? A sedentary overweight white dog?Or, the dog in this training session?? Yeah... regal. You're not taking the DA and stuffing him in your box of soft, pliable, easy going things. This dog will (hopefully) never fit. You're getting a warrior! He's not a good dog, he's not a baby. He's a WARRIOR. Please treat them as such... respect the man that sacrificed so much to bring this genetically engineered masterpiece to life by not trying to change the breed. When I have folks apply for my pups, and they tell me they have little dogs, and will walk or run with them a couple times a day... just no. You did not do your research. You are not prepared. You have no clue. PEOPLE ARE NUTS... Hence why I love my critters. This channel rocks! Good stuff here as usual. Love seeing the DA!😁
They’re not good family dogs stop spreading lies these are straight up working dogs that have extremely limited history being “house pets” that people are making them out to be today. You’re lying & it could get someone hurt or worse. Oh & btw? I currently have 2 Dobies & hAve had other “aggressive” dogs, I’m no breedist- in fact I think pit bulls are sweethearts…but dogos? Nope.
@@MS-mr4zm You're high AF! How are you going to come on here spewing something you know nothing about? How many are in your household again? How many stories of them attacking people? Just stop with your ignorance.
I've been looking into getting a dogo in a couple years. I don't want to bring another dog into the house with two dogs already. But honestly I love hearing you instruct people to treat their dogs as the dog and yourself as the boss. People have forgotten that dogs are pets and to be treated as so. You can love your pet but know they are not a family member. I am so tired of seeing animals at every store I go to they will be ok if left at home.
ALL about the right dog for the right home/owner. This is exactly that. Definitely a wonderful dog and I’m an advanced dog owner, but I know this pooch would not work in my personal situation. He deserves a better home than I could give him.
My mentality in dog neutering.... If the owner doesn't have plan to breed and train their dogs, neutering is the best option. No point forcing a dog into involuntary celibacy for build up frustration due their sexual needs.
Only met a dogo once. He was on the extra large side of the breed too. Absolute UNIT. The owner kept him as a guard dog. Didn’t do any training but the dog got along fantastically with my Dad who rented a garage/car shop on the property. Scared me when I got out of the Jimmy, turned around and this Massive dog was Intently giving me a sniff and stare. The dog didn’t relax till my Dad told him off. Than I was completely ignored. Lol Even without a firm owners hand he was a good boy. Intense but good.
I have a 15 month old doberman x Great Dane x dogo. He is only 25% dogo but yet seeing this guy reminded me of my own dog so much! Incredibly relax and willing to listen until challenged! I was not familiar with dogos until mine and they are definitely not for everyone, great dogs but also very intense! Luckily I had Dobermans before and in my dog the “dogo behavior” has been mellowed done with the doberman and Dane in him but it has still been a lot of adjustment! I sacrificed dog parks but got to invest in weights and a treadmill! Love my dog but will definitely go back to a good old dobe for the next one!
Never judge a book by its cover ! Sniffy is a very well behaved dog. Especially for his type of breed. Me & my Old English Sheepdog (Winston) have known Sniff' since they were both pups. The group of dogs where we meet almost daily, are awesome. Despite what people may think of the Dogo, it's all about the training. Sniffy is a prime example. If you could see them play, you'd be "Amazed"..Keep up the good work, Lupita & Ed ! 👍🏽
Nothing against the owner, but I instantly noticed that her demeanor never stopped looking anxious and panicked. I have seen this before, where some of the best dogs will get around people like that and pick up on their energy and generally you will always start to see issues arise in the dog. The more confident the owner, the better behaved the dog is, at least in my experience.
What Joel said at the beginning of this video was perfect. You can't get a dog like this and take it around like it's a lab or golden retriever. I truly hope this dogs owner did research before getting an Argentine. They are a handful and not they type of dog you'd get as your first dog.
I have an intact male and 2 female Dogo Argentinos. I love how well you explain and understand the nature of this breed. Fantastic video and thank you for explaining why neutering is not the answer.
Neutering is absolutely essential. Discouraging neutering is incredibly negligent. We already have enough dogs in shelters. We don't need people breeding more.
Thank you for this video , I love it as many of yours . I’m Argentinian and I had a dogo when in my country ,that needed training we cound not afford so we gave it to someone that could .I also had a Doberman, female . Now many years later I’m in Italy and I know how to train dogs at least mine , as well cats . So I will if I could bring one from Argentina , they are beautiful . In Argentina people also go to the extreme and train them to kill , like pit bull in America . Some go to the extend to blind fold them for long time so to develop the hearing and smelling senses . a few bad news also we know , of attacking children of their own family. They are consider jelows or possessive of their own , but I think it’s a wrong conception . It’s the training . I think you posting these videos are great , so to help everyone and we all need help. Thank you so much specially for changing the Argentinian dogo views as you had in this video . Keep following .
So many good comments here! THANK YOU for saying it's not okay for dogs to get all up in human crotches. Aside from being disrespectful and disconcerting, it's not safe for many reasons.
Hey Beckman family 🐾💌, Lots of work, right? She has to do a lot of slow breathing sessions. He's still a cool boy😍🐾 much work though 😬. Aaww, Bosco🐾💌 Great video 🎥
Thank you for saying you CAN correct a growl sometimes. I got attacked 6 weeks ago though doing it, owner did not give all the information on her super dominant dog, did not tell me he is muzzle conditioned. He growled at my nice helper dog....when I said "hey" and popped him away, he came at my-6 times or more. I toyed with whether I should have corrected, but I always came back to him being extremely jerky for no reason, and just peeing 5 or 6 times through the fence on my helper dog, I just felt over it...but you are right, until you know the dog, use the tools. I took the owners word for it that he was "fearful" and saw a 100lb golden Lab/retreiver (backyard breeder) wouldn't have such a dominant genetic disposition. Love your insight just talking it through. Thanks 🙏
Joyful, of course you can correct a growl Your working with an animal, not a dog training manual. Trust your instincts in the moment You can be sure the dog is🤗 🌍❤️
@@lovesees4320 i don't know you but I do really appreciate you saying that 😅 it's been 6 weeks of serious tug o war with myself! All those people saying never to correct a growl...I really disagree! Sometimes it is completely unwarranted if they're not in a fearful state... Thank you! Definitely follow intuition there.
Yes you are correct 👏 I've been working on correcting his growl. For other intact male dogs safety....I've been correcting his growl by purposely putting on aggressive dogs growling on TV and when he growls I immediately correct it and then I do the process again and again and he does learn. He's stubborn dogo but eventually he will understand. I know it's not the same as doing it with another dog but it's a start at correcting his growl behavior. But I know he'll never be able to play with all dogs and I've learned his warning signs and am very aware. Have blessed day.
I have a female Dogo, who is just like this. In fact, my breeder sent me this video. She is no joke and is super dominant - we call her the gangster. She’s our first Dogo and she’s been a lot, but we know her boundaries. She doesn’t like other dogs at all and would highly enjoy taking some off this planet. I got anxious from watching this, because I can see his body language when he’s like “bring it”. But they can also be sweet and silly too. They are beautiful creatures and amazingly focused when working and doing a job, but are also very serious and NOT for everyone. The power, strength, drive and athleticism of this breed is crazy.
The dog behavior explanations are endlessly fascinating and so helpful! Could we see more of this session? I wonder how Sniffy would do with Tom, the black&white Labradoodle? Meisha (female ridgeback) ? Or Connery?
Hey sniffy is dominant with some dogs not all. When we would take him to the dog park he played with every dog breed well up until 13-15 months. That's when we noticed him not liking intact male dogs. He normally loves all female dogs. I was very shocked to see him growl at that sweet female dog. Alot of his friends are poodles and sheep dogs.
@@jillsy2815 sure you may. I told Joel that he has only growl when he is bored and needs to go out and play in which he has tried to challenge but I've been successful in controlling that. But he rarely does. It was not the reason I took him. My primary concern was for dog dominance with intact male dogs. That's where I needed the help cause I can't snap him out of it if he comes face to face with an intact male dog. For example taking him to the vet. But Joel advised me to just tell the vet to arrange so that his appointments are not close to others appointments. My friends told me the headline is probably click bait. Thanks for asking.
He's just like my Dogo, calm, careless, and SUPER DOMINANT! Great with older male dogs, though. I think they are wise enough to not even look at my dog or challenge him in any way
"When getting one of these powerful dogs and deciding to not neuter, you signed up for not going to the dog park." Spitting facts.
Neuter? Typical pet people myth if you're knowledgeable & understand what you're really doing it wouldn't be necessary.

@@user-tu8bg6bx2ryou have zero sense of humor.
I’m currently raising my 3rd Dogo. My first Dogo I started obedience school at 4 months. He then rode with me for 8 months 4 days a week in a handicap bus I was driving. Best training ever. He met various dogs traveling with their owners. Seeing eye dogs, rescues, emotional support, never had any problems. I always kept him by my side and he would greet them as they got on the bus. He was never neutered. My second Dogo a spade female. She was a year old when I acquired her. Ironically she was an offspring of Morocho the Dogo in Argentina that rescued the 2 young girls from the puma. She has been a wonderful dog. This video is so true. You should never let your guard down. These are very powerful dogs and it doesn’t take long to kill or maim smaller animals. I personally have seen my female take down several javelina that are wandering around the desert were we live. They instinctively know what there supposed to do. Exercise, training and love is very important.
I've got two of these and they are no joke. BUT they are certainly NOT the murder dogs the internet makes them out to be.
Thank you!
Absolutely agree. It also bothers me for people to accuse all bull terriers of the same thing.
@@Danielle33384 because they actually kill and maim people and it's important to realize that WE SPECIFICALLY BRED AND SELECTED THEM TO DO THAT
I am absolutely blown away with how calm and confident Snuffy is. Absolutely incredible dog! Best of luck with training going forward, not many people can get a breed like that behaving so well.
This breed is very confident, not to say that some aren't but for the most part most are and they're very good dogs for experienced, responsible people to own. 🥰
Dogos are something serious! I researched them for 6 months before I got my boy nodens. He was the most dominant litter mate. Their confidence is so amazing
my dogo blows my mind every day. Wonderful breed but man are they a handful. serious responsibility needed with this breed
Dogos are not for the casual dog owner. They need constant exercise, discipline, mental stimulation, and socialization. My 14 month Dogo is STILL my 2nd full time job. If you can't put in the time, or the physical demands of taming a Spartan, be content on watching videos on someone elses Dogo.
😎
My boyfriend is from Argentina and he says there's all these packs of wild dogs all over the place. If they're all dogs like this one, I don't wanna go over there.
Sniffy is part of our dog group and he is an amazing member. He plays with my dog panda, we call her the krazy b. Sniffy, is dominant. Yet, súper obedient to mom and other peers of the group. We are happy to have him in our circle.
That's great! He seems like such a good boy. Panda is such a sweet name! What sort of dog is she?
@@naerwyn239 hi, she is a mix OES and standard poodle. She is black and white. Panda bear lol.
Oh so glad to hear this!! 🐾❤️
Would you happen to know what breeder produced Sniffy? I am looking for a Dogo breeder.
@@ram2711 I don’t but I’ll ask the owner and get back to you.
I have had a female dogo argentino for 8 years. Shes the best companion at home, but outside home or with visitors, ALWAYS safety first. No matter if I think she is unhappy, I think about human safety first. These dogs are not to be messed with.
I've seen a couple dogs like this. I always described this attitude as "chill until challenged", but then as soon as challenged they were laser focused on demonstrating who is in charge.
I have an 85lb female pittie that is that way. The other smaller variety female at 55lb is scared of dogs 20% her weight.
I like it when he said, "very rarely is dog aggression towards another dog protection". Good stuff.
Joel goes so much beyond just training...steps up to next deep level of Dog and Ownwer psychology.
This made me love my Dogo Argentino even more
Why
Same
same from India, Thanks Beckman for bringing a King into another Kingdom !!
Mine is a service dog I love sir Lorde VERY MUCH❤
Love your dog and love people and their dogs too, dogos and pitbulls are very agressive dogs they can kill any dog if they keep biting.
Yet another brilliant video, Joel! I only met a Dogo once - male dog, very confident, tail up high, approaching slowly, but the dog was lose on a property me and my husband walked past with our female dogs, both on leashes. No owner in sight. Panic set in. In me, at least, whilst the husband was quite oblivious on the kind of dog we were facing. Our dogs totally lost it upon seeing the massive Dogo, and were lunging and barking at him. I stepped in front of my younger dog and yelled my head off, desperate to alert the owner as I knew what these dogs could do, and was seriously concerned about the well-being of both my dog and myself. Surprisingly to me at the time, the Dogo, upon seeing me step in front of my dog and yell at him, stopped. And when his owner came to get him, he went to him just like Sniffy returned to Joel on cue in the video. The owner said the dog didn't do harm to other dogs, but I preferred to not test the waters. We did have a nice conversation at that point though, about his dog and how well-behaved he was. A true gentleman, being respectful of the females no matter how weird they behaved. When I grew up in Germany a few decades ago, this was NORMAL behavior of male dogs. No male dog (no matter how aggressive towards other males) would, EVER, to my knowledge, harm a female, even if she was barking and snapping at him. But nowadays, one hears of this happen all the time; weird, I don't think males aggressing females is normal canine behavior. Anyway, thanks a ton for the video, Joel!
❤️
What a great video Joel! You give body language info where we can see exactly what you are describing. You provide the hows, whys, and because, in a very clear way. The illustrations and how you speak are in everyday language. It's like you could be talking face-to-face with anyone of us on this channel, and this is precisely whoyou would be. You can't get anymore genuine than you are. You are a remarkable dog trainer and more than a remarkable person. 🌟
Doggo Argentino are almost always like this! They’re bred to be somewhat animal aggressive and very very protective, IMO dogs like these need to be working hard or they will be problems most of the time! They’re like an elite athlete, they need a proper work programme and massive exercise!
@@LTT4053 why?
because theyre fucking beasts. my dogo runs 6-7 miles daily and still could probably go for another 7 if i had the time and energy to do it, he makes me feel unathletic
@@willhurlock776 same 😂
@@willhurlock776 Run him on the bike. Even an Ebike would be a good investment. Can run them 10-15 miles
aja...
Dogo Argentino is probably most badass dog. They are no joke.
I think I agree.
I loved this video! More on Dogo Argentino please Joel! Such a beautiful dog! Yes I love Prince too!
Thank You for sharing this awesome knowledge with us all Joel and Company!
7:18 there is a clearer shot of hair being raised. Tip for new dog owners, if your dog goes stiff when looking at another dog, and the hair on their shoulders and along their back stand up, they are excited and gearing up for something, usually an attack. If it happens while playing, it's not too bad. If it happens if your dog is looking at another dog and they are fixated and still and STARING, it's usually a dominance or intimidation display. HOLD YOUR LEASH TIGHT AND CORRECT THEM IMMEDIATELY.
The leash should be loose, and mom should be ready-down and to the side for a correction. She knows this. And, never a tight leash. They can feel any tenseness from the arm, through the leash to the collar, which they can react to. With a tight leash, they can feel every quiver.
Naming big dogs like this Sniffy is right up there with naming a cougar Mr. Whiskers.
Joel, your videos and work is fascinating and clear for a layperson like myself to understand. Thank you😁
Interesting how confident the puppy Doberman was in that dog's presence. They are pretty self assured by nature.
Another great one! This dog is impressive, wow. Both physically and mentally.
Boxer , dobermann,pitbull,gs,akita inu........and now dogo argentino, this is the best dog I ever had !!!!❤❤❤❤
I’m so glad you told the truth about neutering him. He’s not a bad dog. He’s a Dogo. That’s who he is. It’s up to the owner to know what they have.
Great job joel. I love how you break it down on what it is at the dog is doing and what is tolerated and what is not tolerated. It's very clear and decisive. Thank you for all your info.
You!...definitely need to binge watch all his videos. You will go nuts. When you’ve watched the last one I bet you’ll start up your own dog training business. 😊
this breed of dog is my all time favorite and i have not yet been able to get one . im so glad u had a video of one of these dogs ! great work !
Oh I wish this video was longer! What a fascinating dog he is to watch
That dog literally looks like Bane with the muzzle on🔥🔥
Agree!
Which is better than without because even than some owners let their dogs to run after my Dogo. And with such breed you are always quilty when situations happens!!!
Watching you and Ceaser Milan create the perfect balance for me training my Doberman puppy. 💯💯💯💯 love the videos!
Checkout upstate canine academy.
I grew up near where this Dogo’s were breed. In Cordoba Argentina. They are great family dogs in the house, a true asset on the field and a stud of a guard dog. They have pleasant temperament and are loyal to the core.
The love / need / thrive with a strong leader though.
My dogo argentino is exactly the same, this was another perfectly delivered video!
I have one. He’s about 15 months. Here’s the thing… they are very confident of their abilities. A real dogo will always be up for a fight… but you can train them to control that impulse. I have four dogs total: a Doberman, malamute, shepherd mix, and dogo. I have had fights in the past, but like twice a year. I have them all on my other RUclips channel, and show how we all live and train together.
Great video and explaining the difference between aggression and dominance
I'm from Argentina, I've seen some real hunting Dogos... They are the sweetest dudes but they do growl naturally. And take my word, "loosing a fight" is not a concept in them
they're a hunting dog not a fighting dog.
They were created using the baddest pit fighter in Argentina actually. A breed that would rather kill than mate. Cordoba fighting dog... the genetics are there. I have 8, one is grandson to Morocho the dogo he speaks of that killed puma saving 2 girls (the creators grandson's daughters actually!) La Cocha Kennels.... they don't fight when it's time to work but a lot of Dogos are dog aggressive, or same sex aggressive and what it boils down to is the genetic drive that tells it to die before backing down.
Joel, you’re just the best. That poor woman had a scared look on her face. I hope her time with you helped. Sometimes the training is more about we dog owners learning to manage a dog, and learning that we cannot change a dog’s nature. Correcting bad behaviors is one thing, but understanding the difference between what we can change and what we can’t can make a world of difference in how we go forward in our lives with our dogs, and deciding what situations we simply should not put them in based on who they are. I loved how you praised all that is good about this dog. I hope the woman was able to find some confidence in her session(s) with you. I truly wish you lived in my area. You do an awesome job of conveying your methods over You Tube, but live sessions with you must be awesome.
That’s her fault for not researching what kind of dog she has. Just wanted him to look cool.
I have a 9 month old female dogo argentino. Sweetest, smartest, and definitely strongest dog I've been around and owned. Always fun to watch how others behave and how they are trained and worked with. I love seeing tips and advice all over and adding it to our routines. Such a beautiful, intelligent, powerful, and loving breed. Hope others have good experiences like I am having. It does take a lot of work no doubt, but it's very rewarding when done properly.
I have a seven month old female, and I have to agree, most amazing dog I have ever had in so many ways, but I will admit she is a handful!
They don't come into their own a lot of times until 1½-2 years so be aware that your girl might go through some changes in temperament around that time and if she does it's normal for this breed. A lot of mine are okay with other dogs until about that age and then if they sense even the slightest challenge it's a death match to them and it's one of the most horrible things you can imagine so please, learn her body language well and if you feel maybe she's testing you or others you can always reach out to Dogo folks with experience. I've always gotten plenty of great feedback and training tips that actually work as well.... there's a lot of tricks and nuances that you won't find with many other breeds so the experience with the breed helps a lot... or someone that understands dogs period such as how he understands Prince and his many difficult clients lol... your dogo may also be one that is not going to act at all like a dogo... no disrespect here but it's a truth that is becoming unfortunately, more seen as they become popular and people want them as pets. True dogos are working dogs and if you don't understand that (not you personally but anyone really...) you just don't really know the breed imo. They're not for everyone.... they're not for most people actually and for good reason. Good luck with your girl though!!! A good relationship is key to anything else so
@@sanmiguelterritoriodeldogo742 hey thank you for your input, luckily the breeder lives close by and is still helping me with her, I have already seen changes in who she will allow near her or me, so I am paying very close attention, and learning her body language, I also realize that she is not the only one who needs training, I know there are so many things I have to learn with her, Dogo's are not your ordinary dog, but worth the effort...
@@sanmiguelterritoriodeldogo742 Wise words, and thank you for the great comment. Totally agree on everything you said. Definitely keeping an eye on her everyday to see how her temperament evolves in certain situations and scenarios. She's definitely become a little more protective and vocal in the last 2 months. Nothing that's been a problem. Just helping her learn what could be considered a threat and what is normal stuff. But definitely will reach out with questions as they come. As I'm sure they will haha. Cheers!
At about 1 year old, we had to stop going to the dog park. The change when they become adults is considerable. Still a great dog and with training not aggressive but, assertive and dominate.
Extremely good looking dog, I love the way you train Joel.
his poor ears:(

@@MerkleAkrunphleuphle yeah its really cringe but it is what it is
@@extendow it's illegal in the UK now
@@lovesees4320 Is circumcision illegal also? Because these dogs are young and under when it happens, like the babies when they get the snip snip. It doesn't even get stored into their memory.
"They don't always start fights, but they finish them."
He is a beautiful dog! Another great video. I Always enjoy
This was great Beckman!
My demo dog and best friend was my Dogo Stella. She was SO good, and So well trained. I love Dogo's, but decided on a Cane Corso for this Demo dog I've got now.
8:54 - 9:30 Mom's body language, and constant backing up whenever Sniffy moves toward her the slightest bit, are continually communicating fear and a lower status...
Yup 💯
Joel may have instructed her to backup… he often tells clients not to let the dog come and seek comfort or approval. I could be wrong though cause he was voicing over
@@rollcity9244, not a _terrible_ theory... yet I doubt a good trainer would instruct an owner to back up with an excited, approval-seeking dog as a general rule.
I learned from Cesar Millan the "no touch, no talk, no eye contact" rule when meeting a new dog (in order to earn its trust by keeping it -- and yourself -- calm). You can stand your ground without giving comfort or approval. (He calls this posture "calm, assertive.") This woman appears _reactive_ and afraid, in this clip.
*Lupita Torres,* if you're reading this: I did not mean my comments above as a criticism, _in any way,_ of you or Sniffy. Twenty-three years ago we took in a 9-month-old, very dominant (alpha), male American bulldog. My partner and I had to learn how to become pack leaders, and we made some mistakes along the way.
Eventually, though, we came to understand we had to project a higher-status energy whenever we were with our guy. Most animals read energy exceptionally well, and dogs want to know, clearly, where they stand in the pack hierarchy. I always sensed that my guy felt he was an "apha-in-waiting" -- meaning, if anything were to happen to me, he was ready to step into my role.
Until that time, however, as among the three of us, he was the one who had to back up. 👨🐶👩
@@jimreadey4837 he does it all the time. In this scenario the dog isn’t that bad and I’m not rewatching it but he’d been pushy and bullish already and he very often tells owners not to let the dog seek gratification from them soon after misbehavior, or occupy much of their space when they’re anxious
This dog is pretty cool, but definitely a no nonsense kinda guy! They've done a really remarkable job with him and he seems like his personality could be a challenge but they really brought him along very well. I hope they are able to handle his dominance but it is the type of thing they have to work with. Doesn't seem like it would go away, he is what he is in this case. He's an intimidating dog by presence alone but surprisingly well behaved.
Omg this is so helpful
This dog is like my dog!!! I have a mutt - Alaskan Malamute mixed with rotti, mastiff, bulldog and husky etc.
She is a dominant female - well trained but also needs so much management. She has dog friends but man she can be evil with a dog that challenges her. Thank you for this video. I have been wondering if I’d need a private session but this answers what I’ve been told - I can’t change her nature, just manage her. Obviously no dog parks for her!
Good on you Geneviève, best wishes to you!
She got alot going on with her lineage...she got gladiator genes & some🐾💛
getting an older Dogo to be friendly or at least accepting of other dogs....now thats hard mode difficulty right there
@GrapeSkoda i love the "we think" there. Always find that funny
@GrapeSkoda oh the Bully smile. Love it
I think it can be difficult to get any breed of dog that’s older and stuck in their ways to change.
Awesome video Joel thank you.
I think you were spot on with this!
Wow! I have learned so much! Very helpful. Thank you.
Love your channel. Excellent advice. The best. Knowledgeable.
What an awesome new. Sniffy. He is a very good boy to be so dominant.
So many owners get dogs that they're afraid of. People always want big tough dogs until they really have a big tough dog. Then they want their big tough dog to not be so tough.
Very responsible observation/comment regarding the nature of the dog breed, which is an important consideration for any owner in considering a new addition. Also, in another video, you also highlighted realistic expectations (Ares) age considerations, which for any of us who have owned senior dogs in the sunset period of their lives (and I've had several) understand well.
thank u for the insight ! i actually use your insights to help me in my job in the OR! orthopedic surgeons are very similar to these scenarios
I like the way you point out the moment in which a correction or change happened in the dog.
Can you use slow motion segments when this happens.
Body language of a dog can be quick and hard to notice for an untrained human eye…..
I like this idea
Always awesome content. I’m a dogo owner. It’s really important for people to understand their breed. Dogos are awesome, but serious breed.
it was about time Prince met a King :) brilliant methods, BECK DA MAN
He's such a good boy. That's a lot of dog for your average person.
That is a beautiful looking dog. My rescue Staffy Boxer cross, is a big, powerful dog and his behaviour is similar to this dog. Originally I could not get within 100ft of a dog, without his going crazy on the lead and showing all signs of anxiety. But using Beckman's advice, he is at this stage now and vastly improved in his behaviour. When I get close to a dog, he still can be a bit reactive by trying to get closer to the dog, but a lead pop corrects that. He now does a play bow dogs but I would not risk him off the lead or let him sniff a dog if he is not calm. He has now sniffed three dogs, which is massive progress. But with his sudden reactivity when he gets excited and realising that he will always be a dog with a dominate nature, I accept the fact I may never be able to let him off the lead and play with other dogs.
I've changed his behaviour in many ways, but he will always be the nature and character that he is.
I've had dogs all of my life (Even an Akita), brought up from pups and trained them to be excellent with their behaviour off lead. This dog that I got a 5 years old and I have no idea of his history and experience, apart from being told his last owner only had him a month and he pulled the owner over, breaking their ankle. I got him a couple of weeks after that. There's been a lot of work in undoing his multiple incorrect behaviours, but although I wished I could get him to behave like my previous dogs, I know he will never get to that stage. He is a wonderful dog though. Thanks Beckman, this video made total sense.
Opinion alert: I typically like your technique but with this Dogo I can tell you that your approach should have been to put Sniffy's mom in the "Alpha" category from lesson one. D.A.s are awesome family dogs, very intelligent but very pack oriented, and take a heavy hand (not for the faint of heart). Also, the tail and ears are not a true indicator for D.A.s. You have to pay attention to what my family calls "getting fluffy"! That hair at the neck and tail. In any case, as long-time Dogo owners, they do typically become more dog friendly and easier around the two-year mark with good firm corrections and it doesn't seem to be nuts or no nuts dependent! 😁Keep up the great work.
Omg thank you for your comment! I'd like to know more about how you've managed your dogos throughout the years. I feel like I need to talk to someone who has owned dogos and get some tips. Thanks again for commenting on your experience.
Lmao....Damn it if you're not right on about the 2 year mark and all else as well. I've had the hardest time trying to find someone to help me with training for IPO.(Schutzhund) because either they're too intimidated by the dogos or they don't get their differences from most dogs. I've got 7... it's an effffing handful alright. You know what some of the best advice I got was? To treat this breed like an automatic weapon she realize that if you f×@k up, you or someone else/ something else can get hurt it killed. Serious dogs but regal and second to none if you're crazy enough to partner with them lol
Also, Ecollars help especially tiny female owners such as myself that aren't taken as seriously as we need to be. You have to bully the bully in some ways. Can you effing imagine any kind of positive only training with these breeds?!?! No thank you! Strong corrections and even sweeter rewards work for my dogos. They do hit those ages where they're gonna test you. The creator took a dog that literally COULDN'T BE BRED as they'd rather kill each other. Genetics are strong. They needed a dog that had what it takes to kill puma and boar or fight it after days of riding. The dog it takes is the Dogo Argentino. That's why they're called the King of Dogs. What do you imagine when you think of a king? A sedentary overweight white dog?Or, the dog in this training session?? Yeah... regal. You're not taking the DA and stuffing him in your box of soft, pliable, easy going things. This dog will (hopefully) never fit. You're getting a warrior! He's not a good dog, he's not a baby. He's a WARRIOR. Please treat them as such... respect the man that sacrificed so much to bring this genetically engineered masterpiece to life by not trying to change the breed. When I have folks apply for my pups, and they tell me they have little dogs, and will walk or run with them a couple times a day... just no. You did not do your research. You are not prepared. You have no clue. PEOPLE ARE NUTS... Hence why I love my critters. This channel rocks! Good stuff here as usual. Love seeing the DA!😁
They’re not good family dogs stop spreading lies these are straight up working dogs that have extremely limited history being “house pets” that people are making them out to be today. You’re lying & it could get someone hurt or worse. Oh & btw? I currently have 2 Dobies & hAve had other “aggressive” dogs, I’m no breedist- in fact I think pit bulls are sweethearts…but dogos? Nope.
@@MS-mr4zm You're high AF! How are you going to come on here spewing something you know nothing about? How many are in your household again? How many stories of them attacking people? Just stop with your ignorance.
Would love to hear you talk more about when neutering might, or might not, be helpful.
Great video Joel.
I've been looking into getting a dogo in a couple years. I don't want to bring another dog into the house with two dogs already. But honestly I love hearing you instruct people to treat their dogs as the dog and yourself as the boss. People have forgotten that dogs are pets and to be treated as so. You can love your pet but know they are not a family member. I am so tired of seeing animals at every store I go to they will be ok if left at home.
This is a very cool dog. Thanks again for a great video.
I love these gorgeous strong breeds!
You know prince is wondering why he is meeting so many weird dogs. What a funny life.
ALL about the right dog for the right home/owner. This is exactly that. Definitely a wonderful dog and I’m an advanced dog owner, but I know this pooch would not work in my personal situation. He deserves a better home than I could give him.
Really nice looking dog.
Love the impulse control
My mentality in dog neutering.... If the owner doesn't have plan to breed and train their dogs, neutering is the best option.
No point forcing a dog into involuntary celibacy for build up frustration due their sexual needs.
Ur absolutely right ,let’s just cut the dogs perfectly functional organs right off and problem solved 🤦♂️
Only met a dogo once. He was on the extra large side of the breed too. Absolute UNIT.
The owner kept him as a guard dog. Didn’t do any training but the dog got along fantastically with my Dad who rented a garage/car shop on the property.
Scared me when I got out of the Jimmy, turned around and this Massive dog was Intently giving me a sniff and stare. The dog didn’t relax till my Dad told him off.
Than I was completely ignored. Lol
Even without a firm owners hand he was a good boy. Intense but good.
I like this guy Joel,he ain't messing around.
Beautiful dog, calm and confident. This type of dog is for a seasoned dog owner.
I have a 15 month old doberman x Great Dane x dogo. He is only 25% dogo but yet seeing this guy reminded me of my own dog so much! Incredibly relax and willing to listen until challenged! I was not familiar with dogos until mine and they are definitely not for everyone, great dogs but also very intense! Luckily I had Dobermans before and in my dog the “dogo behavior” has been mellowed done with the doberman and Dane in him but it has still been a lot of adjustment! I sacrificed dog parks but got to invest in weights and a treadmill! Love my dog but will definitely go back to a good old dobe for the next one!
That Dogo is serious. Very confident just like my American Bulldog was.
This video is right on. Have 6 year old dogo. She is everything he says. Wish I had seen this years ago
This is an amazing dog...the owner has come to the right place and really wish them a happy life❤❤ and yes he does look like a missle😂
Never judge a book by its cover ! Sniffy is a very well behaved dog. Especially for his type of breed. Me & my Old English Sheepdog (Winston) have known Sniff' since they were both pups. The group of dogs where we meet almost daily, are awesome. Despite what people may think of the Dogo, it's all about the training. Sniffy is a prime example. If you could see them play, you'd be "Amazed"..Keep up the good work, Lupita & Ed ! 👍🏽
👍🏼
love your style it is like mine but more advanced and confident..............
Thank you. These videos help.
Arge is so super handsome a wower I love him.
Nothing against the owner, but I instantly noticed that her demeanor never stopped looking anxious and panicked. I have seen this before, where some of the best dogs will get around people like that and pick up on their energy and generally you will always start to see issues arise in the dog. The more confident the owner, the better behaved the dog is, at least in my experience.
What Joel said at the beginning of this video was perfect. You can't get a dog like this and take it around like it's a lab or golden retriever.
I truly hope this dogs owner did research before getting an Argentine. They are a handful and not they type of dog you'd get as your first dog.
I have an intact male and 2 female Dogo Argentinos. I love how well you explain and understand the nature of this breed. Fantastic video and thank you for explaining why neutering is not the answer.
Neutering is absolutely essential. Discouraging neutering is incredibly negligent. We already have enough dogs in shelters. We don't need people breeding more.
I have found neutering and spaying dogs does not decrease aggression. In fact in some dogs it increases aggression.
That was one good looking dog.
Dogos are serious dogs... strong af
Good stuff here, as always!
Thank you for this video , I love it as many of yours .
I’m Argentinian and I had a dogo when in my country ,that needed training we cound not afford so we gave it to someone that could .I also had a Doberman, female .
Now many years later I’m in Italy and I know how to train dogs at least mine , as well cats .
So I will if I could bring one from Argentina , they are beautiful .
In Argentina people also go to the extreme and train them to kill , like pit bull in America .
Some go to the extend to blind fold them for long time so to develop the hearing and smelling senses . a few bad news also we know , of attacking children of their own family. They are consider jelows or possessive of their own , but I think it’s a wrong conception .
It’s the training .
I think you posting these videos are great , so to help everyone and we all need help.
Thank you so much specially for changing the Argentinian dogo views as you had in this video .
Keep following .
This guy makes all my thoughts in my head true
Dogo Argentino is the perfect designer dog for hunting, guarding and attacking both physically and temperament wise
Beautiful Dogo
So many good comments here!
THANK YOU for saying it's not okay for dogs to get all up in human crotches. Aside from being disrespectful and disconcerting, it's not safe for many reasons.
that dog is beautiful
Love the explanation here.Very well explained.I wonder why they decided to this breed?He is like they suppose to be.He looks like a great Dogo.
Hey Beckman family 🐾💌,
Lots of work, right? She has to do a lot of slow breathing sessions. He's still a cool boy😍🐾 much work though 😬.
Aaww, Bosco🐾💌
Great video 🎥
Thank you for saying you CAN correct a growl sometimes.
I got attacked 6 weeks ago though doing it, owner did not give all the information on her super dominant dog, did not tell me he is muzzle conditioned. He growled at my nice helper dog....when I said "hey" and popped him away, he came at my-6 times or more.
I toyed with whether I should have corrected, but I always came back to him being extremely jerky for no reason, and just peeing 5 or 6 times through the fence on my helper dog, I just felt over it...but you are right, until you know the dog, use the tools. I took the owners word for it that he was "fearful" and saw a 100lb golden Lab/retreiver (backyard breeder) wouldn't have such a dominant genetic disposition.
Love your insight just talking it through. Thanks 🙏
Yikes! wish you luck.
Joyful, of course you can correct a growl
Your working with an animal, not a dog training manual.
Trust your instincts in the moment
You can be sure the dog is🤗

@@lovesees4320 i don't know you but I do really appreciate you saying that 😅 it's been 6 weeks of serious tug o war with myself! All those people saying never to correct a growl...I really disagree! Sometimes it is completely unwarranted if they're not in a fearful state...
Thank you! Definitely follow intuition there.
Yes you are correct 👏 I've been working on correcting his growl. For other intact male dogs safety....I've been correcting his growl by purposely putting on aggressive dogs growling on TV and when he growls I immediately correct it and then I do the process again and again and he does learn. He's stubborn dogo but eventually he will understand. I know it's not the same as doing it with another dog but it's a start at correcting his growl behavior. But I know he'll never be able to play with all dogs and I've learned his warning signs and am very aware. Have blessed day.

I have a female Dogo, who is just like this. In fact, my breeder sent me this video. She is no joke and is super dominant - we call her the gangster. She’s our first Dogo and she’s been a lot, but we know her boundaries. She doesn’t like other dogs at all and would highly enjoy taking some off this planet. I got anxious from watching this, because I can see his body language when he’s like “bring it”. But they can also be sweet and silly too. They are beautiful creatures and amazingly focused when working and doing a job, but are also very serious and NOT for everyone. The power, strength, drive and athleticism of this breed is crazy.
The dog behavior explanations are endlessly fascinating and so helpful! Could we see more of this session? I wonder how Sniffy would do with Tom, the black&white Labradoodle? Meisha (female ridgeback) ? Or Connery?
Hey sniffy is dominant with some dogs not all. When we would take him to the dog park he played with every dog breed well up until 13-15 months. That's when we noticed him not liking intact male dogs. He normally loves all female dogs. I was very shocked to see him growl at that sweet female dog. Alot of his friends are poodles and sheep dogs.
@jillsy hope my response answers your question. And unfortunately he didn't let any dogs out. 😕 but I understand.
@@LTT4053 I'm so glad to hear he has dog friends! In what context did he growl at you? (if I may ask) 🐾❤️
@@jillsy2815 sure you may. I told Joel that he has only growl when he is bored and needs to go out and play in which he has tried to challenge but I've been successful in controlling that. But he rarely does. It was not the reason I took him. My primary concern was for dog dominance with intact male dogs. That's where I needed the help cause I can't snap him out of it if he comes face to face with an intact male dog. For example taking him to the vet. But Joel advised me to just tell the vet to arrange so that his appointments are not close to others appointments. My friends told me the headline is probably click bait. Thanks for asking.
@@LTT4053 oh ok I'm glad to hear this. It sounds like you have done well with him! I have 2 street-rescue rednoses so I can relate🐾❤️
Dogos are what i feel like in a white tee💯❄
He's just like my Dogo, calm, careless, and SUPER DOMINANT! Great with older male dogs, though. I think they are wise enough to not even look at my dog or challenge him in any way
Thank you!
