- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In this episode, I meet an over protective German Shepherd that is tearing a family apart. The family has banned the owners from any family gatherings for over three years! Savannah is a dog that cannot be trusted right now and can be dangerous. I need to figure out why she is behaving in this way. Can I help Ron change Savannah so he can join his family again?

Always remember: Trust, Respect, & Love
Some people don't understand how isolating these problems are, and asking us to give up our dog is like asking to give up our child. I feel this mans sorrow.
I have the same problem,I can't take my dog nowhere, he has bit me before and it scares me
@@teresahelms826 Sending you strength
@@Progressivelyyou thanks I need it
It is so isolating. My dog has bitten a human and we had a law suit over it. It wasn't even his fault. The human bent down to pet him with out permission and cornered him. But we got lucky the judge didn't order him to be put down. It changed everything and after the bite my dog is different. He doesn't like anybody but me and his family getting close. And because he's a doberman he already has that intimidating factor and protective instinct. Now, my dog doesn't get to get close to anybody without a muzzle, gentle leader and prong collar as back up. He can't play at the dog park or w many other dogs. Just a few and it's taken months and months to get him comfortable w those dogs and people. He just has no room to allow another incident and it adds stress that I'm sure my dog can sense. But if I am not on alert w him, another incident can happen. I wish people would stop trying to cuddle other ppls dogs they don't know.
@@annalisacandaso-robertson9179 Oh god, I feel you.
My dog is somewhat reactive. I keep her on a lead at all times, avoid dog parks, let only some people approach her.
My problem actually lies with other people, their kids and their dogs. They run to her, or let their children run and yell to her, and then I could be held liable (just as you were), but it is truly unfair, because I do my part.
This week, my neighbours dog, who is also reactive and always off lead, charged at my dog and I as I was walking. My dog, had I lost control, could have hurt his, out of sheer protection (since he was charging towards us growling and barking), but I somehow would have been held liable. I wish people would control their dogs, it would make it so much easier to control mine... Sigh.
Cesar, helping people change their lives for the better while helping dogs on the side.
Caesar helped me many years ago to understand my fear aggressive dog. When I changed he changed. Lessons never forgotten. He has helped so many people and dogs through the years ❤
“You can’t correct her, if you don’t correct yourself! That’s it right there. This video should be required watching-well pretty much ALL of Cesar’s vids should be required watching BEFORE they get a GSD, working/guard dog. I am requiring my trainers/clients to watch this.
Yes!!
Unfortunately rescues are just happy to get rid of a dog from the shelter. I have 2 GSD mixes that I got from rescues. I had some idea of what I was in for but neither asked questions or made an attempt to inform me of the tendencies of these types of dogs or of the general needs of the animal. While I am always learning, my general disposition and leadership style are inline with these types of dogs. I do not know how to fix this as rescues and shelters are already taxed and overworked but some effort to better match the dog to the person is a good step in the right direction.
@@erinhardick4803e
@@erinhardick4803agree. And other rules for raising a dog, not only rules for having a dog. Be the leader not only the feeder, I said many times.
That’s because you have brains, lol
Imagine you go train your dog and he sais you need karate classes 🤣🤣❤️❤️ i died
😂😂😂
Unfortunately, growing up in a Hispanic family, I can see where his self-confidence wavered. It's not a good feeling to be called a llorona when you get hurt as a child. I'm not a crybaby, I'm f**king hurt! It's worse when you're a boy. Boys are NEVER supposed to cry. The first time my husband heard a family member say to a nephew, "Boys, don't cry!" He stepped up and said, "Um, yes, they do, and they can! If you need to cry, then you cry!" We've raised 2 great men and they know that their feelings aren't based on their sex, it's based on how you feel. Families don't realize their part in the whole situation. They gave him ridiculous standards and it caused him to lack any self-confidence. Karate is a great way for him to get some of that confidence back.
@@3ch1dna07your just as soft
@@3ch1dna07 I understand your perspective and respect it. However, there's nothing wrong with a man crying. It's unfortunate that in today's world, "soft men" are often ostracized and labeled as weak or lacking testosterone. This reflects what I call the Andrew Tate mindset
Thank you so much for teaching him. I hope every person wanting to get a German shepherd watches this. They are a very special breed, that needs a great leader.
I have a 113 lb GSD that is so well mannered and sociable.. she goes to tractor supply with me, and Lowe’s.. I’ve taken her, along with my Husky to events.. but, they don’t have to be aggressive because they know that I’m in control and that I’ve got their backs..
I am an older woman, I need my strong boy; but he is very very well behaved. I honestly don’t know what he would do in a bad situation. He has never had one. No one yells at me.
We have 4 German shepherds ❤
@@chrissyluna8183We have three black ones now . I feel the love for them inside . They are part of us . ❤️❤️🧡
@@conniemorgan8402She is a big girl ! Lucky you ❤
These dogs HAVE to be much happier after you visit! Humans or animals with that much aggression must be miserable! Thank you for all you do❣️
It was fear, dog thought she had to be in charge cause her owner was too mild.
10:42 The look of relief and newfound joy. Dogs are so direct when the door is opened for them to step through.
Another wonderful example of training a human
GS’s are a big responsibility, I’ve had 11 since I was a kid. My family had problems with them (one dog killed another dog, 2 kids got bit) When I was older (14) I got help from the man who trained/ supplied Cesar Chavez’s GS’s. (Jacque Levy) since then I’ve enjoyed my dogs. But I’m still learning here with Cesar. Thank you!
@@svpearlsailacapegeorgesail4758 I actually thought GSDs were easy, since I previously had one who was an angel. She unfortunately passed (worst grief Ive ever felt)...
Later, I found a GSD/Husky mix. Lord jesus help me lolll Im STRUGGLING.
What do you expect? Dog training today is Konrad Most, a man who trained GS attack dogs in World War. All you're doing today is training attack dogs.
@@LuxRP Thanks, your a big help!
@@LuxRPWere you being mean ? People are nice to each other on here , safe from attackers .
My German shepherd is my best friend. That's all they want to be, is your best friend. If you can't give that to them, please... don't buy and German Shepherd
I loved seeing Ron's transformation with himself but most of all with Savannah!❤
Cesar you are the magic!❤❤
It’s clear to me that Ron feels GUILTY for “going against his daughter” wishes / not allowing her anything she wants to do!
He REALLY must heal those untruths feelings to keep his Savanna AND also to have children !
He MUST understand that setting limits is not mistreating!
Pets are not children and saying that a person must have children under a video about them learning to care for their pet is crazy.
@@user-br2ql6hx5ysorry, you misunderstood what I’d wrote. Please, read it again without preconceptions. Tks
Even if you aren't a naturally nervous or insecure person, you can be when you're around your dog in social situations . When your anticipating that your dog is going to act out, you tense up and your dog picks up on it. Then you start falling into bad habits
This is me sadly😢😂
@@Texas_Made_me too
So true
Yes this is true, they are reacting off of what you expect to happen. If you are anticipating a certain behavior from your dog, and they pick up on that energy, they are most likely going to play that role, until you correct them. In all seriousness, you should be training your dog. To be a good boy.
Cesar, when my mother was alive, she was absolutely phobic of dogs. My entire life, she was terrified of dogs, to the point that she suffered guilt knowing that, if a dog attacked us, she wouldn't be able to protect us. Ironically, it was a dog biting me that rid ME of any fear forever. I understood the behavior. Finding your channel was like coming home. At one point, my brother and his dogs had to live with us for 4-5 months. My mother never lost her fear, but she had the power to control and claim her space. They respected what she wanted. (I tried to use Star wars as a reference....you don't have to physically touch, don't have to get that close. Project what you want out from your fingertips like "the force." Animals know. She was so amazed and proud of herself. I was proud of her, too. That was difficult, but she had such courage to even try.
I've dealt with a phobia of dogs for most of my life (52 years.) In the past 2 - 2 1/2 years it finally changed significantly. I'm still hesitant sometimes, but running the other way is no longer my default setting. I even stayed with friends who had 2 big dogs, for about 3 months, and I slept on the couch. Watching Pit Bulls and Parolees, and various shows featuring this brilliant man, helped me tremendously. (I also continued to go to therapy and do visualization.) Fixing dogs' behavior is a lot easier than fixing a human's mental state!
Great results. Hope the family supports him more. They kinda threw him to the curb. Those little dogs running up & barking need their owners trained.
Can't believe the family just banned him rather than band with him.
He is the bigger person out of all of them.
As always, great intervention Cesar.
I would agree with that, at least they asked for help in the right place !
I think they banned the dog, not him, but he didn't want to come without the dog.
You can ignore an annoying dog but you can't ignore an aggressive one. It's unfortunate to have a dog that shows aggression but this is the only point when negligent owners have to change something, unfortunately. Family did good by not tolerating this stress and by welcoming his back as soon as he fixed the issue. A natural dynamic.
If people refuse to go somewhere b/c they can't bring their dog, for whatever reason, that's on THEM, not the people who set up the boundaries for not wanting the dog there. It's obviously a choice. Does this guy never go to work/church/doctor's appointments/concerts without his dog??
It's absurd that he ditched his family instead of making arrangements for an afternoon for his dog to be somewhere safe and comfortable while he is visiting his family...
If it was a seeing eye dog or something I could understand this.
@@sister_bertrille911 Exactly.
When I took in my rescue dog, she had a lot of fear aggression towards children and other dogs. It took me about 3 months, but I got her to trust me. She's extremely sensitive and fearful, so she didn't need someone who was "alpha" or dominating. She just needed to know that I wasn't going to let anything hurt her. Now she stands patiently and let's kids pet her, as long as I am supervising closely. She completely ignores other dogs, and walks are a real pleasure.
That is the beauty of rescuing, you worked through it with her. Very lovely to hear a great outcome!😊
You not letting anyone hurt her is being the alpha.
Alpha is not the same as dominance. Alpha is leading, guarding, giving directions when needed.
Some dogs need a dominant leader to make them realize they are the leader, other dogs need a gentle leader to teach them they can feel safe.
@@ChallieWallie I meant the more ignorant term that people use when they say "Alpha". I don't drag her around by the leash and stand over to scold her. I don't raise my voice because she's not deaf, and can understand me just fine.
how did u do that? my rescue dog is also very fearful of kids that are loud or running, he barks and appears agressive. not sure what to do.
@@xSkythecheck out Cesar’s 911 season 2 episode that is about a bulldog and Rottweiler and attacking horses. I thought the family made a great transformation there. Just learning the technique to handle the situation. You might pick up some good advice there on how to be more calm but assertive. Following through your correction is very important. It’s very similar to raising a kid. The child knows what the parent allows, for instance. To be successful you have to be firm but not aggressive.
That's why many dog trainers do train martial art as well. You must be clear and determined what you want in particular momentum. Then dogs, bears, tigers, orcs, dolphins, children and also bad guys know where the red line is. And what is good and what bad. Cesar the G.O.A.T.!
Dude, this one made me cry at the end when his family welcomed him back ❤
His family was stupid. Plain simple they had yapping dogs and there fear were the problems
@@ravenbrown74All around. Now Ron can teach them to do the same with the yappy chihuahuas. 😊
What a great, honest family story. Love Ron's willingness to work SO hard and share.
This'd be one of the best footage to show how important to make a precise diagnosis. At the same time, shows how difficult to do it! Easily confused. Everyone noticed a dog's facial expression when Cesar guided her inside the car. Impressive, wasn't it? He's a chosen one!
You can't love this episode enough. To have reconnected a family. All it took was to train a nervous guy to learn to be a calm, assertive leader. There was never anything wrong with the dog. She just needed appropriate guidance and what's expected 😌
dawg dont forget about the karate classes 😭😭😭😭
Mr Millan is an exceptional dog whisperer.

mr milan is, in fact, a dog abuser.
Totally agree 💯👍🏾
That was so inspirational! Ron was willing to work hard and learn how to be a leader for his dog, and that became a catalyst to improve his whole outlook on life. To see the family welcome him and Savannah back into the family gatherings was such a great moment of happiness for Ron, Savannah, his family, and me too honestly! I get so much from watching these transformations.
Cesar, you have a wise old Soul--knowing how to support and train both humans and dogs at the same time, Bravo!
So glad he got help with his confidence. It’s usually us humans that need training!
My dog and myself have been attacked by a group of dogs.
Just by watching this, I can feel the trauma and panic even though I am trying to rise above it.
Thanks to Cesar Ron can learn to correct his human 'misbehavior' pattern.
Phenomenal video. Amazing end. Salut Cesar, Ron and Savannah❤
@@moon-moth1 Thanks. I'm trying to. Regards
This is something that I am seeing far too much.
Thank you Cesar for the gift you are sharing with people and their dogs!!😊❤
Andréa and Critters. ...XxX....
This one made me cry. Sad, at first. Then at the end, happy tears.
It was so heartbreaking when Ron cried, I could also not imagine my own GSD being left out. I'm glad there's Cesar who did not teach Savana but Ron. I really learned lots of things from Cesar's videos.
So happy he got to reunite with his family and his pup
It’s the human behind the dog 🐕 Thank You 🙏 C.M. & Crew 💕
I luv German Shepherds. I choked up just watching this transformation.
It's so great that Savannah and Ron can be part of the family gathering again in a positive way.. God Bless and cheers.. Thank you Cesar..
The way Cesar was leaning back in that chair you know he was stuffed lol some good eats. lol
I’m not crying for Ron and Savannah! You are!!! ❤❤❤❤
I sincerely appreciate your sharing these videos.
They are informative, educational, inspiring, and entertaining.
Ron is a real sweetheart. I’m happy that both he an sweet Savannah now can move around free and comfortable ☺️
That was awesome! My favorite is German shepherds. To be honest, seeing Rons personality, it doesn't surprise me that Savannah is that way. Great transformation. Great teacher. Thanks
I have watched hundreds of Cesars videos and this is one of my favorites. Thank you Cesar.
I was so nervous watching savannah walk by the other dogs in the house and at the end 😬. Great work Ron and Cesar and Savannah!! 👏👏👏
It's great to have dog trainers like Caesar Milan who basically understand that the problem most time lies with the people and not the dogs.. It's also fantastic to see him go beyond the normal to help the dog and their owners 👏. Our world needs more people like you Cesar 🙏
Junior, we miss you so much sweet boy 🌈
Best one I’ve ever seen. Millan is a genius and a bodhisattva - love and great wisdom.
Good to see dogs well trained and people understanding their role.
You are the leader of the pack and need to act like it. Your dog needs to sense your confidence and assertiveness so they feel comfortable and not confused and always protective. People too admire when they sense it about a person. Not aggression and short temperedness which makes people and dogs nervous and confused, but even having a quiet and mild spirit.
Die letzte Aussage muss ich etwas ändern. Mein Ex war ein Choleriker und auch seine „kurzen“ aber oft nicht verständlichen „Ausbrüche“ waren nicht gut für meine Hunde.
Es verunsicherte die Rüden ungemein, wenn er rumschrie mit seiner Familie oder Dinge durch die Gegend warf, von einer auf die nächste Sekunde. Manchmal wusste man ja gar keinen Grund.
Ich musste auch lernen, meine Nervosität in den Griff zu bekommen, wenn ich an anderen angeleinten Hunden oder die hinter dem Zaun, vorbei zu gehen. Wissend, dass oft in der Situation des Vorbeigehens einer der Hunde anfängt zu meckern.
Irgendwann nach einem Training muss man in die Realsituation. Und selbst ein Dackel kann für fatale Situationen sorgen, wenn er merkt, dass Herrchen unsicher ist und er die Situation regeln muss.
Respect
A wonderful story. Now life is better for the family and the dog.
I am so happy for Ron and Savannah - she is such a beautiful dog and he got his confidence!
The fam, the guy & his dear dog all got a sweet upgrade.
so nice coming together.
Milan did more than just solving a dog issue.
:-) 💝
😢 I'm in tears this was beautiful.
Ron needed the self confidence in himself. The dog knew he was in control, not Ron. Great. I would have felt just like his family. You have such a calm demeanor, you inspire confidence. You could tell that Ron needed this, especially in a man. I, as a woman, would look for this confidence in a partner or friend. I would also know, that he could defend himself and anyone if needed. Blessings.
Fixed my dogs food aggression on my own thanks to Cesar ❤
The greatest he is💜
I love seeing a GSD come into her full potential! Such a magnificent breed! I'm only 4'11" and I have had control over all of the GSDs I've had over the years. Such a loving, intuitive, and intelligent breed.
OMG this was SO WONDERFUL! Brought tears to me. Cesar is helping ALL of us, animals and humans. GRACIAS!!!!
They should have educated the pomeranian and other sub-dogs to respect the german sheppard at first, and not piss her off!! 😂
Cesar Millan is so special to me. He helped me learn about dogs and humans more than I learned from anybody else. I was afraid of dogs since I was small. I watched ALL his episodes for many years. And after nearly 10 years I got myself a dog, a German Boxer at 9 weeks, he is 6 years old now. His favourite dog buddys are other big and strong breeds. I had so many adventures with him and other dogs. I take him to work nearly every day as a social worker and many clients enjoyed spending time with him during our counseling sessions. I became more calm and assertive and much more selfconfident through Cesar and my own dog. Cesar Millan changed my life. ❤
Greetings from Germany
This was truly beautiful, thank you Caser for giving this owner the tools to rehabilitate both himself and provide leadership to his magnificent dog, just love it xxx
Soy psicóloga profesora de jardín de infantes 😅. Cuándo les digo a los padres de niños de 2-5 años que "deben" aprender a poner límites a sus hijos, porque eso es disciplina, algunos se enojan. Muchos nenes de 3 años, controlan a sus padres..! 🫣. Algunos sienten que la disciplina genera daño en el vínculo emocional. Les cuesta entender, que los límites generan seguridad en los niños. Guardando las distancias, creo que tener un perro es muy, pero muy parecido..! 😊
Sad that parents confuse firm with mean.
Thank you Cesar for your dedication to the fur babies and their human families 💕 I've learned so much just watching your shows.
I used to have a huge German Shepherd, he must of been like 130 lbs. Not fat at all, rather pure muscle loaded with power. He was truly amazing.
Cops and all will stop to just see him of how impressive he was.
He was hard to control and I was so new to having my own GS. He was out of control and will drag 4 men at the same time trying to stop him. He would almost shake a pick up truck as he was pulling from the “chains” trying to get off to go an attack another dog.
He hated all dogs and God forbid cats. Also homeless, and other type of people.
We had to put him down, the saddest day of my life. He has to be put down since animal control was going to get him for having bite another person. I took him to the vet to put him to sleep before Animal Control arrived to the clinic to get him.
Social training since puppies is imperative
So sorry to hear about your experience with your dear friend!!
Best Wishes and Kindest Regards,
Andréa and Critters. ....XxX....
I’m sorry 😢
I’m so sorry. My gsd is 145lbs of pure muscle. You’re right about people and first responders wanting to see them. Mine is my service dog and gets quite the reactions in public.
I am indeed sorry for your experience and for your loss, it is a hard lesson to learn! However, the bigger question is, did you learn from it? Do you now see how it was you and your energy that allowed the dog to progress to the level of aggression he attained that required euthanasia? With your experience, if you now understand that it was your lack of knowledge and leadership that lead to euthanizing the dog, you can be a very powerful teacher to others. You can teach how energy affects your dog and if you don't get that aggression under control what the consequences are. You can speak from experience and be a powerful teacher to those who face the same struggles as you once did!
😢❤
To be totally in tune with the energy is a wondrous thing to watch. The animal instantly picks up on the change and improves so fast. People are always amazed and many lives can enjoy new owner, new dog results.
I love what Ceaser does to change peoples lives. I learn so much about myself watching him. Thank you for the hard work you do!
What a gentle man😅
Savanah reminds me so much of my GSD. Thank you for all you do! I am learning and working on myself. 😬
Life changing for both - humans and the dog.
Just great❣
I love cesar milan. He have no idea how much he has changed my attitude about dogs n my life with dogs. I can never thank him enough for all that have evolved in my life for the better n the calmness i felt in my life❤❤
The man and true dog whisperer. Theres no one better then cesar. And none of this nonsense with treats all the time.
Like a bribe and kinda like a lot of parents to kids these days be the parent 1st friend 2nd and never do a pay off thats reserved for the stupid rich and gangsters😂
I have a shepherd and he’s the best dog in the freakin world. When Ron cried about his dog, I cried too😂 I couldn’t imagine having a dog that upset all the time and not knowing what to do
Como psicólogo, mis sinceras felicitaciones a este tipo. Por cariño a su perro se superó a si mismo. Felicidades mi viejo!!!! excelente trainer César!!!
This was extraordinary in reuniting a family around addressing a relationship between an owner and his dog. So happy for you Ron and Savanna. She also seems more relaxed and happy.
Great job, transformation of handler and dog.
Mr Milan, as a 3 x German Shepherd owner, that was so good to see the journey of the man with his dog. Kudos 👏
Having been through this exact situation with our gsd, this was bitter sweet to watch. I wish he could have helped me save my girl. Miss you Lola every day.
Thank you for your constant care for people, friends and animals.
Love this. Helpful for anyone facing life without much confidence. ❤
The best of the best would be a confident smile of the owner eventually! Emotional? This Is emotional!!
I could watch these two lovely guys for ever. It brought a smile to my face..
SOMEONE, hug Ronnie! I so love these episodes, thanks so much for offering them. Ive been a caesar fan for years, got my first dog after studying his methods, spending time with other dogs, then got my pup..she was incredible. Looking for my next rescue and will adapt to her accordingly . Love having a dog I can take anywhere, anytime! She wore a vest for s few months that said no talk, no touch, no eye contact..it works! Then she was so crazy polite meeting, no jumping..flippin miracle
Thanks Cesar, I can read dogs pretty well but I learn something new every day. I have been attack by a dog when I was a few years old and I am not afraid of them, I love them.
Makes me smile
So amazing, good for Savannah! Good for Ron! And what a wonderful family, who called on Cesar for help. Inspiring.
I love the grey dog face expression make me fall in love.when you owner of animals you need give him or her positive vibes not negative can trigger the dog to attack anyone.
Yep, if you look at her facial expression when she enters the van you can see she is not sure about it and worry to enter the van.
You are right, she is insecure. But I still think there is ressource guarding in the play too. Especially she has not been able to interact with much humans and dogs for a while does not help either.
I feel so much love and gratitude everytime I watch the Great Cesar Millan.
That is a true 100% change in honestky a short period of time! Very impressive great work cesar!
Taught me a lot about leading my own dog. He also gets called "aggressive", and we've felt alienated from weekly family gatherings too. We need to train with Cesar!
So sweet and great to see. Good job everybody!
Tears of joy for Ron and Savanna! Congratulations! Beautiful video
Wonderful, made me cry
Caesar has such a beautiful soul!
The greatest respect for him, for observing, learning dogs behaviours and understand it all. Brilliant. I have a phobia of dogs been bitten by dog when I was 4-5 years old so for me to see someone controlling those barking animals, it’s amazing. You are amazing man❤
What an exceptional story highlighting how NB the role of pack leader is. I'm so happy for Ron & Savannah. Thank you Cesar 🤗
Another cesar milan episode was handling a GS who was protective over his lady owner. Beautiful GS. was not aboe to control him that he bite her sister n living in isolation in their backyard!! Cesar helped her change herself ( to get stronger n assertive n thus change the GS aggressive behaviour to calm surrender). Unbelievable n I cried watching the transformation ❤ cesar's approach to healing humans n dogs all at once.. its all in the energy ❤❤❤
So inspiring. Koodos Ron, this is a perfect example of putting ego aside and accomplish life altering changes. Savannah was instrumental in allowing this change to take place - God bless dogs!.... and Cesar of course.😉
I have had two self appointed guard dogs at different times.
One was a Great Dane / German Shepard and the other was a wolf /Akita cross. Both of them were never violent or aggressive for no reason, only when it was called for. They both were super huge, 150 lbs both if them. They were a great comfort to me.
He made me cry ! My girl is like this but not that bad yet she is only a year but i understand how he feels and the pain seeing her not living the life she deserves
Love growing up and watching your magic....
My German Shepherd female is like this with other dogs but never with people. She loves people
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I have a 5 year old German Shepherd and 12 year old Boxer. Both rescue dogs. When I walk them, my Boxer couldn't care less about other dogs and loves everyone. My Shepherd can be a bit aggressive toward other dogs, depending on the dog. She has dragged me to the ground twice while passing another dog. She is also insecure. She sometimes hides when strangers are in the house. I have seen improvement in all of these areas. She has gotten better as I've gotten more assertive with her.
Ceasar is correct because I had the same problem. My insecurities kicked in and my dog went into aggressive mode. So I had to focus on my leadership skills. My tension created an aggressive dog.
This man is great. I need him here, South Africa
