    When I managed a pet store, one of my favorite encounters was with an elderly, fragile lady who came in with her enormous Rottweiler. She needed a new leash for him - and selected a 1/4" wide nylon leash. Her dog was so well trained he never tugged, pulled or tangled up the leash. She weighed about as little as half of him, but had him under complete, loving control the entire time. Needless to say, they had both attended obedience/companion classes, and it showed.

      I have a 160 lb St Bernard who’s exactly this way. In the yard we roped off half of it with garden twine and she has no idea she could easily get through it. She’ll sit on my feet but doesn’t get on the couch or anything. She’ll back up into you and tried putting her butt onto your lap. But she’s happiest to just lay around and watch me watch tv. She’s not a huge fan of long walks or the dog park (too much energy) but LOVES to lay outside when it’s cold outside. We don’t have a fence and she doesn’t even leave the property line. Dogs walking by don’t even notice her.
      She’s definitely the sweetest and most gentle dog I’ve ever had or been around. Even the vet remarks how well behaved and gentle she is. But she does enjoy rubbing her face on you and the slobber gets ALL over.😂 They are the best dogs.

    • @bearswithglasses
      @bearswithglasses Рік тому +27

      I 100% agree- training, consistency, and communication are crucial. I've got a Great Dane who's only 16 months old but loose leash walks very well, and when she has infrequent momentary lapses because she sees a child or bird she wants to play with, she responds quickly to verbal corrections and then goes back to walking well, instead of dragging us down the street. She's in the public access training phase of service dog training right now, and she is doing great.
      A lot of issues are age-specific and pups will outgrow the behavior as long as they have consistent feedback. 99.99% of the time, the issue is with the humans, not with the dog.

    We live by the beach and my dog has to wear a life jacket even though all the other pet parents think it's silly. Everyone else sends their dog straight into the water after a ball, and I'm like, whoa! I'm an excellent swimmer and I wouldn't go out that far alone without a swim buoy. If the dog gets into trouble, there's no way you could get to them on time! Most people don't realize how risky it is. If your dog is swimming alone in deep water, then Fido needs a life jacket!

      I saw a video of two golden retrievers bounding out into a lake. Only a few seconds later, one of the dogs suddenly started struggling. The owner ran out and dragged the now lifeless dog to land and had to perform CPR. Luckily, the dog made it, but it was shocking how fast it all happened- and in a quiet lake and a dog bred for swimming.
      Good on you for making your dog wear a life jacket. A dog who accidentally inhales water or is swept out on a current, won't last long without one.

    I love big dogs and they do never know their own size 😂 That’s why especially for them it’s important to start encouraging behaviors you want early as possible and snuffing out those you don’t want because puppies don’t suddenly stop behaviors when they mature. If you don’t want a 200 lb dog sitting on you, don’t encourage it when they’re small

      I think sometimes we try to overtrain and over control our dogs. Rather than adjusting our behaviors and helping them fulfill their needs in a safe way. We expect them to be obedient robots doing only what we want them to when we want it. Simply reinforcing what we want and what we don’t want rather than just commanding them, give them a choice to figure out which behaviors get them what they want, and which don’t.

    I don't agree with never letting him paddle around in the shallow pool. I think Victoria should've taught them a good recall and then still allow him in. I understand being worried about deeper water with an edge he can't get out of himself, but a shallow pond with a low edge or a lake with a beach or something should be fine.
    He clearly loves the pond and a little kiddie pool isn't going to replace that. It might cool him down, but it's not as exciting. Just work on recall, so you can decide when playtime is over.

That drastically increases the chances of the training sticking. For the humans, most importantly! But I love that the trainer let her come to her own realization that she hadn't taught Max the right things when he was small. So wholesome!

    I would probably put Max on a life jacket while he gets swimming. And of course teach him to go into the water ONLY on command. In this way Max gets to have fun still and cool down when it's hot. Plus swimming is really good exercise especially for big dogs. So when they get older they can still get exercise without hurting their joints.
