I’m not trying to be a jerk, but be careful with everything this person is saying. He has a bias to his Malinois. Much of the commentary is benign, but some of his comments are fairly inaccurate. To start, Malinois don’t enjoy dog parks, yet the owner keeps taking him there. Malinois want to work, and a dog park isn’t work for them. Navy Seals don’t like to train and hang out at donut shop with the local police department. Malinois were bred for a specific high octane duty, and a dog park is not even close to being on their bucket list. To a malinois, a dog park is like making an entrepreneur work in a corporate cubicle their whole life when they could go out in the field and absolute clean up. I recommend stop taking the malinois to the dog park, and give it the life it was bred for.
@@markhoffman I think it's kind of a weird statement saying "Malinois don't like the dog park, they want to work" Like, you don't know if he's working his Mal or not. He's probably just taking Ronin to the park to meet other dogs and get some video footage. Nobody knows what he's doing all of the other time. Yeah, Malinois are bred to be working dogs but they do fine living as family dogs, as long as they have a purpose and a task. And yes, most Malinois like meeting other dogs. They're social animals after all.
@@kiru_red4691 I know it’s not what people want to hear, but if you talked with most malinois owner they would confirm they don’t take theirs to the dog park. There are much better places to socialize a malinois. You can see in the videos that the ronin is panting a lot even without activity, it’s stressed a lot of the time it’s there.
To Mark, working dogs still do normal pet things. I have Leonberger and they’re a working dog as well. It’s a good thing to give them “work” to do but they’re still like humans and need to have downtime and fun. And I agree with the other commenter that we don’t know what this owner is doing with his Malinois, we only see one facet of their life and Ronin seems like he enjoys his visits to the park.
All hes teached u is too risk your pet in a feild of untrained and unpredictable pets dont do this just take your pet for a n8ce quiet walk somewhere where there isnt other dogs especially ones that are off the lead with weak owners who would panic if something did gappen and make it worse what a fool.
Also, dog parks are wholly unnatural places. Tons of dogs in a relatively small space, accompanied by their owners, with some dogs thinking they're the protector of their humans, some dogs terrified by so many "dangers", etc. Also, that hierarchy stuff gets weird quick when you have over a dozen dogs all trying to sort themselves out. I'm with you, I don't think it's an overall healthy environment, but it can be OK if you are as fully dog language-aware as this guy here, I guess.
"He just wants to play" a woman with no clue doesn't keep her GSD on a leash. "People get so mad at me!" I suppose that reaction is because her dog wants to dominate my GSD/Malinois mix and everybody else in the universe. The dog scared the shit ou of my dog and _I_ had to tell her GSD to back off.
As they should. Too many owners, especially male owners, seem to enjoy their dog's manliness. This guy here seems to enjoy his big Malinois and his intimidation of other dogs. Like the proud father of the school yard bully. Reflected glory and toughness. Intact dogs (and unspayed female dogs) have NO business at the dog park.
@@nowyouredoingthesponge4644 Absolutely. He's obviously a good trainer. The problem is an intact dog brings drama and trouble. He may control his dog, but others will then be forced to jump in and get control of their dogs. Ronan may enjoy showing his skill and manliness in controlling his big dog, a real testosterone rush, but most people just go to the park to let their dogs play and get exercise. They're not looking for trouble. They're not looking to show off their skills. They're not shooting a video for tic toc or youtube. They're just normal people trying to let their dogs have fun. Now what had been a good time with happy dogs becomes a stressful time that everyone comes to dread because of one dog that brings intact energy.
I approve the behavior of Ronin. He is still young but those visits to the parc are quite formative. He shows restreint but then there is a limit when he's been pushed. This dog reminds me of a friend I know for a long time. Dogs understand much more than we think they do.
"Kevin, you're not that guy" Someone tell her that Kevin is going through a short guy complex. Ronin doesn't care because Kevin is so short he looks right over him
i love your videos and everything so much, my sister wanted me to watch a few videos so i could learn more about dog body language and ive learned so much! i might get a lab or poodle soon, but your account will help me so much with my first dog. my sister has 2 dogs which helps me practice anf i even taught them a few tricks which im super proud of. But i really love your content and your account so much. and Ravens curled tail is just so cute! i love your content so much!!
First time watching a video from you - excellent commentary on dog language. I love learning dogs cues, so thank you for doing this video, so cool. Also enjoyed seeing the Elkhound, we had a Norwegian Elkhound when I was growing up, she was amazing. Thanks again :)
Wow aThats a lot of dog knowledge! Makes you wonder how dangerous dog parks can be with so many less knowledgeable, uneducated owners who simply let the
My Shepherd / Boxer mix is similar to ronan, but he’s 4 now and quite experienced. He doesn’t play with many dogs (but has certain few he loves) and he’s a little dominant but not in a bad way. Wouldn’t change him for the world. Has never been in a dog fight only with his similar brother years ago.
I have a huge border collie female. She’s 55 lbs. she pretty submissive until not left alone then she assert herself. But I only take her to places that are safe
people say his dog is not trained. this is just dog parks which are breaks for this dog he probably is working this dog all day. he has a recall i would assume since he says the other owner has no recall. i would let me dog assert dominance if he was getting messed with that’s just genetics
I went to the dog park with my Lab so he could interact with more dogs. Big strong guy but like many Labs, zero aggression and 100% play. He had a great time. I got to know the regulars and would drive away if the wrong owners were there. But my boy kept getting eye infections from the dog park so I stopped going. My vet says a lot of his business comes from sickness picked up at dog parks. FWIW.
I have been to a dog park once and don't plan to do it again. I took my 3 yo GSD, Sadie, to a park in Blacksburg, VA. She was playing with a young boxer, a dance mix, and a lab mix on the dogs over 60# side. She got tired and was lying under my picnic table while I was talking to the boxer's owners. A guy brought in a smaller dog (30-40#) into the large dog side. It was a male with the canine equivalent of short man syndrome. It immediately went over and bit the boxer. The boxer was shocked but didn't respond. Then it made the mistake of biting Sadie. Sadie had him on his back in less than a second. I'm just glad I was there to control the situation. We left the park after that but the owner of the smaller dog acted as if nothing had happened. Maybe I should have just let Sadie deal with that dog.
I think your doing Right by leaving and not getting too upset at other owners at the park. Like I tell the men in my family “ let the boys be boys” no harm done,
Omg, how many times is she going to say KEVIN! Clearly her dog doesn’t respect her. I would have taken charge and grab my dog. She just sounds so desperate.
This is why vets won't take their dogs to dog parks. It stresses out the dogs and some people insist that their dog is not aggressive when it is. Dogs would rather just spend time with their humans anyway.
Ok the title is a bit misleading. The first dog at the park park appeared to be more of a Staffordshire Terrier, thus the smaller build. The one dog you called a Bully was nowhere near a bully. A Bully will be built a ton more than the one you point out and they are not furry. Their fur is short and wirey. Staffordshire Terriers are roughly around 40#, Amstaffs top out upper 70-ish # range and Bully, Bully xl, etc can topple 100 pounds. I have an Amstaff Bully mix and he is almost touching 90#. Why do you go to park parks anyways? You're just asking for your dog to get in a confrontation.
First of all, letting your dog go inside the park with an excited, pacing behavior, was your first mistake. That caused problems. I don’t think you quite understand dog behavior as well as you think you do. That’s why the other dogs were acting like that towards your dog. You’re lucky he didn’t cause an all out fight. If you’d stayed, blood would have been drawn for sure.
No, that Aussie and pit were the aggressive and not good candidates for a dog park. Ronin gave non aggressive de escalating gestures and that is a characteristic of a solid dod that is perfect for a service dog
Now that Ronin has been neutered I'm wondering if he's become one of the jerks that picks on intact males? No offense is meant by this question, my own bull arab dog is still intact at 4yrs and I'm wondering what I'd likely expect. Cheers.
I don't know your dog control, but if it was my Corso, I would let him do the job. He just dominates the intruder with only pins to ground. Ronin tolerated him too much.
I’ve always brought my dog to the dog parks. All dogs are different dogs know how to communicate with each other. I allow them to communicate, and I don’t bother them unless it gets a little too much.
Taking yr intact lad to a dog park would be problematic, cos like 95% of dog owners aren't also behavioural experts. Being a dog nerd around average dog people is just....
If you watch all of Ronin’s videos, he causes the majority of the bad interactions in the dog park. He runs right up on dogs, also gets right up in their faces First before anything starts. His owner has no problem with any of his poor training .
My rottie don’t play that can’t take them to a dog park she’s not aggressive, but will not put up with dogs getting in her face her problem is she will not submit how can I correct that
And then suddenly out of the blue one day your the GS will be into a fight, I've seen this many times and and one dog almost died. It was a Shepard with Pitbull or a mix, she started the fight the Pitbull finished the fight but I don't get why to play with fire, too many dogs that doesn't know together are big problems... Then a ball???? That's why i don't bring my dogs anymore to dog parks.
That is NOT an American Bully! It's an American Pitbull Terrier! You need to not only learn your dog breeds, but also the fine differences between similiar breeds. You're welcome!
Why would you even subject Ronin to that?? He only needs YOU and a ball....not being thrown into aggressive situations. Just my opinion, we all treat our dogs differently..
seeing an aussie do that at the beginning blows me away as an aussie owner! my lil girl could never act this way to another dog haha she doesnt have it in her.. but she was probably socialized alittle better than the one shown, never too much socialization!
Ronin and bully interaction @ 3:09
Also I’m 6’5 230 and have been lifelong known to not give a fk when the time comes
The subtlety of dog language never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for teaching us.

What would I do? I just don’t go to dogs parks because I know it’s full of people with untrained dogs.

its like a bunch of gangs in a fenced area.
This is the most unhealthy environment for a dog to be in.
@@grunt7684 Agreed!
So where would you bring the dog to be socialised with other dogs? Should he not be trained and prepared for anything, including untrained dogs?
Most people don’t know how to train their dogs before they go to the park.
"He just wants to play" a woman with no clue doesn't keep her GSD on a leash. "People get so mad at me!" I suppose that reaction is because her dog wants to dominate my GSD/Malinois mix and everybody else in the universe. The dog scared the shit ou of my dog and _I_ had to tell her GSD to back off.
Most dog parks discourage folks from bringing intact dogs into the mix. That testosterone seems to set off the neutered ones.
As they should. Too many owners, especially male owners, seem to enjoy their dog's manliness. This guy here seems to enjoy his big Malinois and his intimidation of other dogs. Like the proud father of the school yard bully. Reflected glory and toughness. Intact dogs (and unspayed female dogs) have NO business at the dog park.

I love Ronin! And I love your commentary on dogs’ behaviour. Keep posting, it’s brilliant and so interesting/educational.
The dog giving Ronin a warning as he follows him 😭😭😭
I approve the behavior of Ronin. He is still young but those visits to the parc are quite formative. He shows restreint but then there is a limit when he's been pushed. This dog reminds me of a friend I know for a long time. Dogs understand much more than we think they do.
Kevins owner might work on re-call
Love when you tell an owner to get there dog to prevent it from getting seriously hurt and they don't do anything about it.
It’s his dog that’s the problem.
Ronin seems like such a good boy. Love these videos, learning a lot as an inexperienced dog owner.
"Kevin, you're not that guy" Someone tell her that Kevin is going through a short guy complex. Ronin doesn't care because Kevin is so short he looks right over him
Thanks so much! Real time and it is very clear having the camera on the dogs back!! Thanks!!
Love the insight you have with dogs.
this video shows exactly why you shouldnt take your dogs to a dog park
This channel is unique. Brilliant observasions. I've learnt so much about dogs.Thank you!
This is a really amazing insight into dogs behaviours, really learning so much.
Thank you from germany... I learn a lot from your videos...

Fascinating video,learned so much watching this video. Thank you
Isn't it funny how almost all comments criticising this for using bad training or lack of training as views gets deleted?
No comments that say that get deleted cus there are a lot of comments about that and there not deleted and your comment would be deleted too
Wow this is really good. Wish more dog owners learn how to read their dogs.
I BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO AHHHH YAY
First time watching a video from you - excellent commentary on dog language. I love learning dogs cues, so thank you for doing this video, so cool. Also enjoyed seeing the Elkhound, we had a Norwegian Elkhound when I was growing up, she was amazing. Thanks again :)
You would be better off watching the Dog Whisperer. Get the real facts from an actual expert.
@@celestek.2395exactly. This guy is terrible
Your content and break-down there of, is awesome.
I like your explanation of some of the cues that the dogs are doing
Omg, I would be an absolute nervous wreck walking in those circumstances!!
Great video, thank you!
How do you ever get that camera to stay on? Can you show a picture of Ronin wearing the camera?
Lol 😅funny the Belgian was like no nope not waiting for you to open the gate , I'll just jump the fence 😂
My intact GSD is so sweet and he gets so much grief from neutered dogs. Sick of the discrimination against big black dogs!
Wow aThats a lot of dog knowledge!
Makes you wonder how dangerous dog parks can be with so many less knowledgeable, uneducated owners who simply let the
Whose the dogs owners? Your dig is obviously well trained.❤
dogs have the most unspoken rizz
Bully would have eaten him lol. But just ducks and weaves. Think bully wanted to play 😂
The person kept calling Kevin but it aint coming
Dog still jumped the gate without your command

I think poodles are scary sometimes too! LOL
They are unnatural is why. No natural dog was meant to look that way
Nice video. Just want to point out that that’s not an Australian shepherd at the beginning, it’s a Kelpie. 😊
stop being so nice man!
Not to speak for him but maybe he's being nice because he knows his dog attracts a lot of attention
How come you only post old videos now? Just curious
You guys have inspired me to go to the dog park and you helped me understand my dogs behavior better thank you so much for this channel I watch 24/7

Owners who are clueless or don't care need to be called out to manage their dogs.
This is only one of the reasons why I would never take my dog to a dog park. Because of the dog owners, they live in a La La Land
Dog behavior is so interesting
This is why I don't go into the dog park cage match with my Great Pyrenees mix. Too unpredictable.
omg a dog of death. Those puddle things look like something straight out of hell. - Ronin
Strange, but I guess fluff means the opposite for some dogs.

So refreshing that you called it a Bully and not a Pit
Good stuff.
Hi, your knowledge about dog behaviour is impressive where did you learn that? Any book to recommend me pleése? All the Best Laurent (from France)
It's not hard. Just research dog language and it will show basics as shown in this video..
I have my own dog park, my property is all fenced in.. No thanks to dog parks!
that lady needs to train Kevin Smfh
Maybe that's why they were there. To learn around dogs in the intended environment
First thing I thought of: give this to kevin
I would hate to live somewhere I had to take a dog to a “dog park” just to let them roam around a little
Cool Belgian Malanois. God bless the Shitbull, i guess.
Love Robin. He is so strong and well trained❤
7:39 Ronin got it
how do you know that is an xl bully?
And this is exactly why I don't go to dog parks!
My Belgian is a expert at telling other dogs to behave they always listen
I think your doing Right by leaving and not getting too upset at other owners at the park. Like I tell the men in my family “ let the boys be boys” no harm done,
Omg, how many times is she going to say KEVIN! Clearly her dog doesn’t respect her. I would have taken charge and grab my dog. She just sounds so desperate.
Not one dog that met each other became submissive or playful
I avoid dog parks all together

Dog beach is the best in San Diego and the dogs aren’t on leashes and can swim into the ocean waves😊 and run all day.
Seems like your seeking confrontation
“Kevin you’re not that guy”😂
What does it mean that Ronin push other dogs buttons? Like he wants some reaction?
He's punking them
'Kevin" "Kevin" "Kevin" Like goddamn bro just get the dog and move on.

No, that Aussie and pit were the aggressive and not good candidates for a dog park. Ronin gave non aggressive de escalating gestures and that is a characteristic of a solid dod that is perfect for a service dog

Very educational. Thanks.
I don't know your dog control, but if it was my Corso, I would let him do the job. He just dominates the intruder with only pins to ground. Ronin tolerated him too much.
Why are you bringing your UNFIXED dog into a dog park???
This seems fucking exhausting.. 100 unleashed dogs, majority untrained.
I’ve always brought my dog to the dog parks. All dogs are different dogs know how to communicate with each other. I allow them to communicate, and I don’t bother them unless it gets a little too much.
The copium is intense here
American bully messes with beglian sherpard. What happens next shocks you
I haven’t taken my shepherds to any dog park in years. Too many aggressive dogs and like minded owners.
Taking yr intact lad to a dog park would be problematic, cos like 95% of dog owners aren't also behavioural experts. Being a dog nerd around average dog people is just....

My rottie don’t play that can’t take them to a dog park she’s not aggressive, but will not put up with dogs getting in her face her problem is she will not submit how can I correct that
And then suddenly out of the blue one day your the GS will be into a fight, I've seen this many times and and one dog almost died. It was a Shepard with Pitbull or a mix, she started the fight the Pitbull finished the fight but I don't get why to play with fire, too many dogs that doesn't know together are big problems... Then a ball???? That's why i don't bring my dogs anymore to dog parks.
She has NO CONTROL OF HER DOG. SHE NEEDS TRAINING WITH HER DOG!
Btw, are all these dogs really having a good time?
That is NOT an American Bully! It's an American Pitbull Terrier! You need to not only learn your dog breeds, but also the fine differences between similiar breeds. You're welcome!
Damn chill people make mistakes sometimes
Why would you even subject Ronin to that?? He only needs YOU and a ball....not being thrown into aggressive situations. Just my opinion, we all treat our dogs differently..
seeing an aussie do that at the beginning blows me away as an aussie owner! my lil girl could never act this way to another dog haha she doesnt have it in her.. but she was probably socialized alittle better than the one shown, never too much socialization!
This is why i never go to dog parks. Walking my dog is bonding time, not for this crap!
