Her high pitched voice is part of the problem. And she’s too soft in her temperament at present to inspire respect in a big dominant intact dog like this. The owner needs to get her calm strong macho energy on.
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
This is AMAZING…it almost made me cry to see him learn and control himself that quickly….imagining how frustrating and scary this situation would be as a owner and believing you have failed the dog. I’ve just got my first guardian breed pup and the difference in personality from a Labrador is very apparent! 😂. I’m looking into your perfect puppy course hoping we didn’t miss any learning stages we can’t get past.
Thanks for eliminating the stigma around the prong collar Will. I used one for my GSD with issues that was instrumental in getting her attention the first time before the correction with the prong collar and I never heard a yelp or a cry, it just another tool in the arsonal for dogs that need correction to become happier in their to short life.
Will just watched your video on DDB’s as a former owner I can say your analysis was 100% correct. Mine died of cancer at 5 years old which was heartbreaking and a terrible return on time invested. After watching your show for a year or so I have taken the plunge and booked a brindle Boerboel who will arrive in the UK aged 15 weeks in February. After watching your analysis my decision was based on the overall health, lifespan and temperament. My DDB started acting out at about 8 months what managed to turn him around was when he acted out I carefully push him to the floor and lay on top of him with my chest(supporting my weight with elbows) keeping him pinned underneath me till his heart rate went back to normal and he calmed down. He never stopped being naughty and crafty but he never tried to test me again and always followed instruction without having to raise my voice or my hand. As you know the Mastiffs are super sensitive and a ticking off for opening the fridge and eating all the contents lead to a 3 day sulk. The new pup is Ares(as in the Greek god of war and courage and son of Zeus) and look forward to bringing him to yours for some training in due course.
We have two German Shepherds, one is 7 years old and the other is 3 months. The 7 year old was well mannered but when together with the 3 month old she would pick up bad habits, especially on a lead and pulling. We ordered the spray and let me tell you the can is underrepresented on this video. It is REALLY loud and startling. They took notice IMMEDIETLY and didn't like the sound. Used in conjunction with a corrective command and it works really well. Well done and the spray worked for us.
Well said regarding people misusing the prong. It's an incredible tool that has helped extremely high drive dogs walk on lead calmly. During my journey doing Schutzhund for about 10 years. I encountered someone who had filed the prongs to a point SMH , what made it even worse was the dog he had done it too , he did not own it AND it was the only KNPV titled Bouvier in America at the time. He was trying to title it in Schutzhund. I do not regret losing that friendship/relationship over me immediately contacting the owner and informing him of what was happening. This dog was incredible. Kia was the most fitting name for him too. He was HUGE and leveled dudes bigger than Will during long bites. His Obedience was extremely impressive . The only thing i regret and would do over regarding that situation was not taking the dog away from dude right there and then. Imagine sharpening all the prongs for a dog that already has titled in the hardest working dog competition there is , KNPV, just to get a Schutzhund 1 . When I say this dog was spectacular I mean he was SPECTACULAR and didn't deserve how he was being treated ( no dog deserves that ) just for a lesser title than one he already had.
Though they look big and sometimes scary, Bullmastiffs are sensitive souls - you were so gentle, considerate and absolutely on point with your advice! Brilliant - best wishes from a very long-time Bullmastiff owner
This isn't a Bull Mastiff, it's a Dogue De Bordeaux which is much more recommended for first time guard dog owners than a Bull Mastiff, from what I've been told.
Awesome Will and my FAVOURITE breed I have one 10 months and not my first mastiff or big dog he actually seems small compared to my older boy but yes people have to start teaching them the rules as young as possible but pick up the training very quickly if you stay firm with it. Mine is turning out awesome and you and Jason Corey's videos have really helped because no matter how many dogs you have had you can always get suprises with new puppies. I do actually LOVE rough play with my mastiffs but with strict rules an 'out' and a lot of trust built and respect. It is not for everyone. I could not be without my dogs.
I'm about to start learning from a German dog trainer and I'm so exited to finally get into this world! I've always worked with dogs and have wanted to be a trainer for ages!
Hi Will & Team Just want to say thanks for all the videos, been following since bringing home my rottweiler puppy Odin ( now 16 months ) He is a great dog for the most part! I think that's due to all the knowledge I've been able to take from your videos! Thanks very much keep up the good work 💪
You're the best dog trainer on youtube. Thanks to your videos I've developed a better relationship with my dog and he now knows that he can look to me to control the situation.
I have a rescue who was formerly feral. The first time I put a leash on her I had a bucking Bronco. She was puppy nipping with big girl teeth. My arms were black and blue, I looked like I was battered. I tried the air spray, she thought it was great fun. I tried the bitter apple sptay, she thought it was yummy. I then changed from a fabric leash, which to her was a chew toy, to a chain leash. It worked! Now she's a good girl that I can take on walks without being nipped.
Yep, what you let puppies get away with they'll continue doing as they're older. I'm sure this mastiff didn't learn out of thin air to jump up and nip at people. Don't wait until your dog is huge and hurting people to correct an unwanted behavior.
I have a one year old , same breed as this. She was a very mouthy puppy, and still loves to use her mouth, but has learned to be very gentle, and not put hands inside her mouth. She is still a bit jumpy though.. have to work on that:P lol
I love that you work with such powerful dogs all the time, it’s like someone with a small dog contacts you and ur like ahhh they can go talk to cesar lol
Love the Mastiff videos, such a lovely breed. I have a 5 month old bullmastiff who is starting to test the boundaries and find these videos really useful I love the Fenrir approach
And the prong collars are awesome. They do not hurt the animal but in fact help them from sustaining a permanent injury such as a crushed windpipe from hard pulling from a conventual chocker or regular collar due to excessive pulling on a lead. It adds discomfort but due to their design will not "choke" the animal.
We as people love dogs, we bring them into our family, but we dont want to hurt their feelings. That's why we feel bad correcting them. But once we know that its just correcting them, not hurting them, we feel better.
He definitely has. I've been watching his TV series and i remember one if the episodes when he's in Australia he consults a woman who has a Mastiff who is way too big for her and her house
I have a kangal approximately 2 years old, that formulates the same and worse behavior perhaps I tried what you suggest with the spray but with no real result once I didn't have it with me it started the same behavior what else can I do
My first dog (and still is) is a Bordeaux Dog of now 76 kg. I went to puppy school with him mostly for socialice with other dogs and do some training. They told me never use a slip chain but a normal belt. Of course when I walk with him and he sees a cat or sometimes a dog he don't like I have to use some strenght to hold him, but for the rest he is friendly to people and we have never had any problems with him at home. But I advice when you get a BDD go to a puppy school and learn to train a big dog like this. When they are young they learn a lot then they are older.
Can definitely tell an improvement and going the right direction. However, the dog was still rejecting the owners authority. He wouldn't let her pet him on the head but had her go straight down his back to the tail. Sometimes a dog just wants a spot scratched but often when they do that they are rejecting your authority
That air can thing seems like a good thing to have in case a big dog comes running up to you or your potentially fearful dog. I've realised I need to be that person for my dog for her to stop reacting to dogs. If I can't get a dog to back off, why wouldn't my dog think it's her job...
My rescue is doing this identical thing I'm so worried and I have a trainer 😢 and this isn't my 1st Bordeaux either I have breed experience so I know mine is a issue. Its when im trying to correct mine 😢
Where did you get that air can spray 🤔🤔🤔, I don't have a problem with my Cane Corso, but I can use it to correct him, first with the can, then with the sound of it with my mouth.
So does this work also for if the dog jumps up on the counter as well as people can he be taught the same way not to do it for when he doesn't respond to verbal commands at all
Hey Will, I've got a 7 month Labrador retriever and he is becoming a little grumpy lately. He growls at me in different occasion specially when he's eating his bones or when he's relaxing by my side and I try to touch him. I usually tell him off so he goes to his bed and then I praise him with a treat but apparently this is not working. Any tips on that? Thanks a lot, cheers from Sweden!
Love your video's but wondering if you can do one on how to get the prong collar on a dog that does not want it, ie our dog 1 & 1/3 yr old Golden Retriever starts doing anything he can to stop me from putting it on, including biting me. I have heard that this type of collar should only be used for the actual walks and nothing else which means getting the collar on several times a day, ie we walk our dog 6X/day is that correct.?
What do you do when they are Mouthing so badly and when you are correcting them they lung and mouth you like actually biting now??????? 😢 because they hate being corrected. Im doing all the mental stimulation my trainer told me to do. It was helpful but it only last for so long
I have been watching your vdos on how to handle dog pulling leash and to walk him loose leash. I tried your technique with my 1.8 years old Labrador and it seems to work well. He is walking much better and hopefully we will he able to have a comfortable relaxing walk. I meant he still get excited with things around him eg. Squirrels, feral cats and most problematic thing - bicycles. Do you have any vdo on dogs jumping on bicycles? I actually sent him to a one month dog training school but it didn’t work at all. Thank you so much.
Will this work for barking Chihuahuas, I’ve been following your food/walking methods which have changed my dogs soooo much ( not just the puppy but also my 5 year old) got sit/stay beautiful recall and even door barking perfect just struggling with them both going crazy at other dogs and yes the 5 year old acts very aggressive at this point .
Will can you help please I have a 1 year old amstaff and he’s become very aggressive for food and guarding his food to the point I can’t go into my kitchen when he’s aggressive. Do I need to confront him and show no fear ?
I need your help do badly 😢 I don't want to give up on my new older puppy Bordeaux rescue. But I can't live like this anymore 😢I have hadbhim exactly 2 months today. Im trying not to give up on him. Because I know this breed is amazing ❤but being mouthed way way worse then this video. If I correct him he lunges and mouths but it's more of a bite. I have bruises scraps and cuts. Im a chronic pain patient due to a spine injury. Im so scared he's going to really hurt me or someone else. 😢I'm losing patience and just want to give up but deep inside that's not who I am as a person. I love him but it's starting to become a horrible living situation and I'm not enjoying my DDB at all😢 HELP HELP PLEASE. I also have a trainer that comes weekly
Where can I buy an air canister? My Staffi waves her muzzle around with her mouth open and snags my arm with her teeth causing a 1”-2” rip in my forearm . She is six months old and over sixty pounds. She is an American Bully and very hard headed. Please help me because she has ripped me multiple times. Thanks, Skip
No it is very friendly and much much loyal with his owners also on the influence of owners french mastiff also get friendly with strangers after some time...... I am lucky that I have french mastiff as my guard dog and buddy!👍🏻👍🏻😎😎
Hello and thanks for your videos.. I am currently working with my dog and would like to add the air can. Would tell me the name of the product or where to find it. His jumping and nipping is getting out of control he is only 7 months and I real want it to stop.
Finding an effective correction strategy is so important. My preference is the squirt bottle which most dogs hate luckily. A punisher should work straight away and drastically reduce the behaviour after the first rep. If it doesn't try something else.
We have a very confident independent male guard dog breed (GSD) who has the most lovely temperament and I know will make the most wonderful companion. He is 6 months old and we are having real troubles with biting, really similar to this case! It is starting to affect everyone's welfare, and I am also pregnant so I want to nip it now before it gets more dangerous.. Is he too young to try your prong collar tips and advice?
No he is not too young to learn manners. Meaning that negative actions has negative consequences. It is of the utmost importance to use this tool correctly though, as if used wrong, it may make things worse and not better.
Great video man, where can I get a Leash like that? I got a pretty energetic Boston Terrier, it's a small dog but once in the park he wants to do whatever he wants, i want to work on this obedience methods and the leash it's the most important thing.
The SSS sound is very interesting. In audio recording ,a sound engineer has to watch out for sibilance as as can easily overload microphone signals. I Ve used the sharp Ssss on lots of animals. Interestingly with humans we have a similar behaviour. We say Sh or Shush ,it's usually spoken in a higher frequency. Songwriters should be wary of too many S words. Thanks again for the dogs and owners.
One trainer I will watch always some of the best advice on UA-cam would love to meet you as I’m never done any dog training course but trained many dogs use a lot of techniques similar but really want to expand my knowledge so I can help rescued dog as always the worry being bitten if they been badly miss treated what would your advice be about where to get the knowledge to be able to training and knowledge for this. Or even a change in Career to become a full time dog trainer as my love is dogs
Hello! I’ve just found your videos and really love them! It’s clear you truly love dogs and you have a gift for sharing information in a relatable, easily absorbed manner. I have a question with using the air spray as my 18 month old Sheltie spent the first 5 of those months in a crate until we saved him. He’s a wonderful dog-extremely loving, happy, energetic, and playful. The only issues are from not getting socialization and exposure to stimulus/people/animals during that key period. He’s easily startled and becomes anxious when exposed to new things, and his reaction tends to be excessive barking. Because he becomes instantly upset/startled is the air spray a good correction method? He completely trusts me, and I don’t want to cause fear if that makes sense.
It sounds like he’s behaving anxiously because he feels like he’s in charge and is trying to keep everyone safe. If you watch Will’s engagement drills you should hopefully see a change towards a dog that looks towards you for guidance rather than to protect. When he sees you’re relaxed, calm and in charge, he should become less stressed when confronted by “threatening” things.
@@thejames666 Ahh, ok. I’ve seen the changes in the drills as you mentioned, but never considered that as the reasoning because the reaction is fearful. He’s overcome a lot so far, he’s much more confident and reacts to considerably less things, but I’ve kind of hit a wall lately in what’s left to work on. Thank you so much, I appreciate your taking time to reply james!
@@irishduchess7577 No problem! I’m not a professional, so I hope others chime in too. But barking is a sign of anxiety/fear… rather than the puppy-ish boisterousness/anti-social behaviour shown by this mastiff. I don’t believe your dog needs to be corrected… just shown that he has nothing to fear. Make him proud and confident and he won’t go into a show on your behalf. Best of luck!!
Having owned a Sheltie, they are natural barkers. They bark at movement. They bark in play. They bark when they herd. They certainly bark from fear. I would continue to work the engagement lessons. I would also work on correcting that barking as a separate issue.
It is important to find a prong collar that has the prongs rounded off so as they pinch but DO NOT cut as some $10 versions of this collar will do. Simply feel the prongs yourself, are the tips rounded over or are they blunt and not finished ? My experience has been you will usually need to spend $35-$40 bucks and the good ones I have seen seem to be German made and not the unfinished prongs that are found on the Chinese made. As the professional says, try it on yourself before you put it on your dog and remember you get what you pay for and like me I'm sure you want the best for your beloved dog.
Hi Will I rescued a Neo Mastiff girl and she arrived yesterday. The only issue that has come to light so far is she seems to be stopping my other rescue boy from now coming near me. She warns him away with either a growl or quick snap. I am reading when she starts to tense up but what can I do to stop all together. My boy I have only had him three months and he is dog friendly but is becoming hesitant to come where I am. He is a Neo Mastiff cross German Shepherd and will be three next month. The girl is six months younger. I have previously had German Shepherds and Rottweilers but have learnt that each new dog just shows you there is still more to learn. I appreciate any ideas on what I can try to sort out this situation before it becomes more serious than a snap.
Structure. You just got her yesterday, so the two dogs shouldn't be randomly mingling at this point. You haven't built a relationship with her yet and you don't have any influence over her actions to be able to intervene if she starts acting out the way she is doing. I don't know if she's resource-guarding you or trying to protect you from the other dog, but either way she likely sees you as weak right now. I would work with her one-on-one first so that way if she does do something unwanted you have the clout to tell her to knock it off and leave the situation rather than bullying your other dog. Some people do just put the dogs together and sort out problems as they come up, but that means a much bigger chance of something going wrong should the dog ignore your correction or challenge you.
She's resource guarding you, and that should not be accepted. I would recommend going to beckmans dog training UA-cam site and watching his videos on that. Super helpful
We tried using a prong collar to correct our 9 month bull terrier and unfortunately it was just making him even more aggressive . I gave him a correction with it once in the kitchen and he snapped at me. Maybe I’ll try that spray.
I'm no expert but my experience with my puppy is that she is very sensitive and her feelings get hurt easily. It's always better to guide with praise and save corrections on that level for dangerous behaviour. If your dog snaps at you then that dog fears and feels threatened by you. I think you need to repair some trust.
@@TyloreKing It could be fear and distrust.. It could also be a hormonal teen dog establishing dominance, and testing the limits of what he may do and get away with. Snapping is certainly NOT a thing a dog should get away with, but one should know the state of mind of the dog, to decide how to deal with it.
The prong can antagonise some dogs in some situations. You might try the e-collar, but it's not something you just put on and start correcting strongly with, ideally. It should be an extension of you and your relationship with the dog. I would introduce it and teach the dog with it properly first. The e-collar is less likely than the prong to aggravate them when you correct them. Some dogs, especially more dominant ones, may redirect on you after a correction if they think they can put you in your place, but that's not necessarily what this was. You may not have respect from your dog at this moment, but structure and proper e-collar training can cultivate that in a pretty non-confrontational way.
It's not about the size of the dog. Dog training is a skill that requires knowledge of the temperament/psyche of the species and the individual dog in front of you.
@@annemariecullen3650 right...and she lacks all that. And this dogs a bruiser. And its a dangerous mix. She didnt need him to guard a jewelry store she needed a pet. So why not a schnauzer? At least theres no risk of the postman getting his scalp torn off?
@@RC-bl2pm I see your point and I understand the genetics, but the dog was being playful and there was no history of aggression. Plus, the owner sought help. We all start somewhere and we only stop learning when we decide we know everything (that’s not aimed at you). Ivan Balabanov calls that stage being “unconsciously incompetent.” Will is an excellent teacher and the owner did a great job of learning.
this is how ya get girls to choke ya for free too lol jkjk hes like im gonna shut this cam of u pull harder call me bad and spray me with that would ya please for abou 15 mins well be ok love ur vids
who else here believes that certain dogs should need a permit or at least some kind of test for the owner? or is it just me? And I am not being a a*** but even for the happiness of the dog
MY hat goes off to you my friend. To give free advice and lessons to save dogs is an unselfish thing to do 👍 There should be more people like you
This guy is amazing! 🎉
That's a big handsome boy.. The dogs cool too.
😂
Her high pitched voice is part of the problem. And she’s too soft in her temperament at present to inspire respect in a big dominant intact dog like this. The owner needs to get her calm strong macho energy on.
Hahaha thanks for that

He is a great dog for the most part! I think that's due to all the knowledge I've been able to take from your videos!
Thanks very much keep up the good work 💪
That’s cuz, imho, Rottweilers are the best dogs out there😍😍😍
@@1packatak they are brilliant! :)
Always a pleasure seeing Will working behaviour problems with big powerful dogs. Super!
You're the best dog trainer on youtube. Thanks to your videos I've developed a better relationship with my dog and he now knows that he can look to me to control the situation.
In australia we call blokes like you bloody legends
I have a one year old dogue de Bordeaux n she’s amazing 😩certified her as an emotional support dog ❤️

Chihuahua or a Tibetan Mastiff.
I have a one year old , same breed as this. She was a very mouthy puppy, and still loves to use her mouth, but has learned to be very gentle, and not put hands inside her mouth. She is still a bit jumpy though.. have to work on that:P lol
I love that you work with such powerful dogs all the time, it’s like someone with a small dog contacts you and ur like ahhh they can go talk to cesar lol
O like Ceaser can't handle a big dog ….
Too bad you do not visit the US. Love for our huge doberman to spend some time with you, Would learn so much from you. You sir are the best I've seen.
Try Joel Beckman in the US.
Great video, Will. And a super example of the 'toolbox' approach to balance training. 👍
Love the Mastiff videos, such a lovely breed. I have a 5 month old bullmastiff who is starting to test the boundaries and find these videos really useful I love the Fenrir approach
I’ve used that spray it works! My Newfie is a jumper too
This is just what I need to try for my pup, thank you!
Great video, brilliantly explained
Good going mate! Didn't know you offered free sessions ! Way to step it up ! Keep up the great work!

Another brilliant lesson that I can take pointers from. Thank you.
That air can thing seems like a good thing to have in case a big dog comes running up to you or your potentially fearful dog. I've realised I need to be that person for my dog for her to stop reacting to dogs. If I can't get a dog to back off, why wouldn't my dog think it's her job...
Another fantastic video Will. Thank you so much.😊🐕❤️
Brilliant video , big dog little lady 👀 just like me 🤣 thank you xx
Terrific work
A great tool in the correct hands. However I thought they were banned in the UK?
Great video! Funny that's kind of the noise I make to get my dog to back down and stop being rough.
Why at the beginning sound like frestyle😂 awesome
I swear he was Gonna start spittin on that beat at beginning 😎
My rescue is doing this identical thing
I'm so worried and I have a trainer 😢 and this isn't my 1st Bordeaux either I have breed experience so I know mine is a issue. Its when im trying to correct mine 😢
thats one beautiful dog
Where did you get that air can spray 🤔🤔🤔, I don't have a problem with my Cane Corso, but I can use it to correct him, first with the can, then with the sound of it with my mouth.
So does this work also for if the dog jumps up on the counter as well as people can he be taught the same way not to do it for when he doesn't respond to verbal commands at all
Hi where do you get that spray from because my dog dose the exactly same as her dog dose can someone please let me know thank you
Hey Will, I've got a 7 month Labrador retriever and he is becoming a little grumpy lately.
He growls at me in different occasion specially when he's eating his bones or when he's relaxing by my side and I try to touch him.
I usually tell him off so he goes to his bed and then I praise him with a treat but apparently this is not working.
Any tips on that?
Thanks a lot, cheers from Sweden!
Thanks so much !!! I would've blushed so bad if I had such a man on leash with a prong collar like that lol 😂
Love your video's but wondering if you can do one on how to get the prong collar on a dog that does not want it, ie our dog
1 & 1/3 yr old Golden Retriever starts doing anything he can to stop me from putting it on, including biting me. I have heard that
this type of collar should only be used for the actual walks and nothing else which means getting the collar on several times
a day, ie we walk our dog 6X/day is that correct.?
Any update from this owner? Beautiful techniques
Yes updates would be great
What do you do when they are Mouthing so badly and when you are correcting them they lung and mouth you like actually biting now??????? 😢 because they hate being corrected. Im doing all the mental stimulation my trainer told me to do. It was helpful but it only last for so long
I have been watching your vdos on how to handle dog pulling leash and to walk him loose leash. I tried your technique with my 1.8 years old Labrador and it seems to work well. He is walking much better and hopefully we will he able to have a comfortable relaxing walk. I meant he still get excited with things around him eg. Squirrels, feral cats and most problematic thing - bicycles. Do you have any vdo on dogs jumping on bicycles? I actually sent him to a one month dog training school but it didn’t work at all.
Thank you so much.
Will this work for barking Chihuahuas, I’ve been following your food/walking methods which have changed my dogs soooo much ( not just the puppy but also my 5 year old) got sit/stay beautiful recall and even door barking perfect just struggling with them both going crazy at other dogs and yes the 5 year old acts very aggressive at this point .
Will can you help please I have a 1 year old amstaff and he’s become very aggressive for food and guarding his food to the point I can’t go into my kitchen when he’s aggressive.
Do I need to confront him and show no fear ?
Where do you purchase that face lead from? The one I have irritates my dogs snout
I need your help do badly 😢 I don't want to give up on my new older puppy Bordeaux rescue. But I can't live like this anymore 😢I have hadbhim exactly 2 months today. Im trying not to give up on him. Because I know this breed is amazing ❤but being mouthed way way worse then this video. If I correct him he lunges and mouths but it's more of a bite. I have bruises scraps and cuts. Im a chronic pain patient due to a spine injury. Im so scared he's going to really hurt me or someone else. 😢I'm losing patience and just want to give up but deep inside that's not who I am as a person. I love him but it's starting to become a horrible living situation and I'm not enjoying my DDB at all😢 HELP HELP PLEASE. I also have a trainer that comes weekly
Where can I buy an air canister? My Staffi waves her muzzle around with her mouth open and snags my arm with her teeth causing a 1”-2” rip in my forearm . She is six months old and over sixty pounds. She is an American Bully and very hard headed. Please help me because she has ripped me multiple times. Thanks, Skip
No it is very friendly and much much loyal with his owners also on the influence of owners french mastiff also get friendly with strangers after some time......
I am lucky that I have french mastiff as my guard dog and buddy!👍🏻👍🏻😎😎
I wish you were in Australia!! 😭 amazing!
Hello and thanks for your videos.. I am currently working with my dog and would like to add the air can. Would tell me the name of the product or where to find it. His jumping and nipping is getting out of control he is only 7 months and I real want it to stop.
First 60 seconds thought I was listening to a modern rap track
I love your videos Will! In your opinion, is a Bull Mastiff of Dogue De Bordeaux better for a first time "guard dog" owner?
Finding an effective correction strategy is so important. My preference is the squirt bottle which most dogs hate luckily. A punisher should work straight away and drastically reduce the behaviour after the first rep. If it doesn't try something else.
Beautiful
We have a very confident independent male guard dog breed (GSD) who has the most lovely temperament and I know will make the most wonderful companion. He is 6 months old and we are having real troubles with biting, really similar to this case! It is starting to affect everyone's welfare, and I am also pregnant so I want to nip it now before it gets more dangerous.. Is he too young to try your prong collar tips and advice?
No he is not too young to learn manners. Meaning that negative actions has negative consequences. It is of the utmost importance to use this tool correctly though, as if used wrong, it may make things worse and not better.
Great video man, where can I get a Leash like that? I got a pretty energetic Boston Terrier, it's a small dog but once in the park he wants to do whatever he wants, i want to work on this obedience methods and the leash it's the most important thing.
The SSS sound is very interesting. In audio recording ,a sound engineer has to watch out for sibilance as as can easily overload microphone signals. I Ve used the sharp Ssss on lots of animals. Interestingly with humans we have a similar behaviour. We say Sh or Shush ,it's usually spoken in a higher frequency.
Songwriters should be wary of too many S words.
Thanks again for the dogs and owners.
Hello Will, not only yr demander and body language is pack leader, u snap them right back to earth.
This is my male 8 month old Dogue de Bordeaux to a T. We have been training him since we got him but this won’t stop 😫
Then follow this carefully. And really pay attention to the correction being stronger than the behavior. Without that this doesn’t work.
Hi guys, what is the name from the spray?
Sensible! I must laugh because TOO MANY PEOPLE have dogs without doing any research and then TOO MANY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE DOGS
Hi do you sell the prong collar? On your website?
One trainer I will watch always some of the best advice on UA-cam would love to meet you as I’m never done any dog training course but trained many dogs use a lot of techniques similar but really want to expand my knowledge so I can help rescued dog as always the worry being bitten if they been badly miss treated what would your advice be about where to get the knowledge to be able to training and knowledge for this. Or even a change in Career to become a full time dog trainer as my love is dogs
Hello! I’ve just found your videos and really love them! It’s clear you truly love dogs and you have a gift for sharing information in a relatable, easily absorbed manner. I have a question with using the air spray as my 18 month old Sheltie spent the first 5 of those months in a crate until we saved him. He’s a wonderful dog-extremely loving, happy, energetic, and playful. The only issues are from not getting socialization and exposure to stimulus/people/animals during that key period. He’s easily startled and becomes anxious when exposed to new things, and his reaction tends to be excessive barking. Because he becomes instantly upset/startled is the air spray a good correction method? He completely trusts me, and I don’t want to cause fear if that makes sense.
It sounds like he’s behaving anxiously because he feels like he’s in charge and is trying to keep everyone safe. If you watch Will’s engagement drills you should hopefully see a change towards a dog that looks towards you for guidance rather than to protect. When he sees you’re relaxed, calm and in charge, he should become less stressed when confronted by “threatening” things.
@@thejames666 Ahh, ok. I’ve seen the changes in the drills as you mentioned, but never considered that as the reasoning because the reaction is fearful. He’s overcome a lot so far, he’s much more confident and reacts to considerably less things, but I’ve kind of hit a wall lately in what’s left to work on. Thank you so much, I appreciate your taking time to reply james!
@@irishduchess7577 No problem! I’m not a professional, so I hope others chime in too. But barking is a sign of anxiety/fear… rather than the puppy-ish boisterousness/anti-social behaviour shown by this mastiff. I don’t believe your dog needs to be corrected… just shown that he has nothing to fear. Make him proud and confident and he won’t go into a show on your behalf. Best of luck!!
Having owned a Sheltie, they are natural barkers. They bark at movement. They bark in play. They bark when they herd. They certainly bark from fear.
I would continue to work the engagement lessons. I would also work on correcting that barking as a separate issue.
Awesome videos
Awesome!
Keep up with the good job! I have followed you a while =)
Saving digs lives 👍😊
Would like a mastiff type dog one day if they weren't so drooly
It is important to find a prong collar that has the prongs rounded off so as they pinch but DO NOT cut as some $10 versions of this collar will do. Simply feel the prongs yourself, are the tips rounded over or are they blunt and not finished ? My experience has been you will usually need to spend $35-$40 bucks and the good ones I have seen seem to be German made and not the unfinished prongs that are found on the Chinese made. As the professional says, try it on yourself before you put it on your dog and remember you get what you pay for and like me I'm sure you want the best for your beloved dog.
Great content
dog trainer reminds me of rag n bone
Good to see other trainers using Cesar Milan's "Tsch!" sound. This guy knows!
Hi Will I rescued a Neo Mastiff girl and she arrived yesterday. The only issue that has come to light so far is she seems to be stopping my other rescue boy from now coming near me. She warns him away with either a growl or quick snap. I am reading when she starts to tense up but what can I do to stop all together. My boy I have only had him three months and he is dog friendly but is becoming hesitant to come where I am. He is a Neo Mastiff cross German Shepherd and will be three next month. The girl is six months younger. I have previously had German Shepherds and Rottweilers but have learnt that each new dog just shows you there is still more to learn. I appreciate any ideas on what I can try to sort out this situation before it becomes more serious than a snap.
Structure. You just got her yesterday, so the two dogs shouldn't be randomly mingling at this point. You haven't built a relationship with her yet and you don't have any influence over her actions to be able to intervene if she starts acting out the way she is doing. I don't know if she's resource-guarding you or trying to protect you from the other dog, but either way she likely sees you as weak right now. I would work with her one-on-one first so that way if she does do something unwanted you have the clout to tell her to knock it off and leave the situation rather than bullying your other dog. Some people do just put the dogs together and sort out problems as they come up, but that means a much bigger chance of something going wrong should the dog ignore your correction or challenge you.
She's resource guarding you, and that should not be accepted. I would recommend going to beckmans dog training UA-cam site and watching his videos on that. Super helpful
Why aren't you uploading on the staffie channel?
Amazing
We tried using a prong collar to correct our 9 month bull terrier and unfortunately it was just making him even more aggressive . I gave him a correction with it once in the kitchen and he snapped at me. Maybe I’ll try that spray.
I'm no expert but my experience with my puppy is that she is very sensitive and her feelings get hurt easily. It's always better to guide with praise and save corrections on that level for dangerous behaviour. If your dog snaps at you then that dog fears and feels threatened by you. I think you need to repair some trust.
@@TyloreKing It could be fear and distrust.. It could also be a hormonal teen dog establishing dominance, and testing the limits of what he may do and get away with.
Snapping is certainly NOT a thing a dog should get away with, but one should know the state of mind of the dog, to decide how to deal with it.
The prong can antagonise some dogs in some situations. You might try the e-collar, but it's not something you just put on and start correcting strongly with, ideally. It should be an extension of you and your relationship with the dog. I would introduce it and teach the dog with it properly first. The e-collar is less likely than the prong to aggravate them when you correct them. Some dogs, especially more dominant ones, may redirect on you after a correction if they think they can put you in your place, but that's not necessarily what this was. You may not have respect from your dog at this moment, but structure and proper e-collar training can cultivate that in a pretty non-confrontational way.
Constantly uses prong collars... would be good to see another tool in use
Like what?
@@Ryan-re1rs how to stop pulling using techniques on harness, collar, slip leads etc and not just prong collar solves all kind of response
Why did she get a dog like this? were they out of dachshunds?
It's not about the size of the dog. Dog training is a skill that requires knowledge of the temperament/psyche of the species and the individual dog in front of you.
@@annemariecullen3650 right...and she lacks all that. And this dogs a bruiser. And its a dangerous mix. She didnt need him to guard a jewelry store she needed a pet. So why not a schnauzer? At least theres no risk of the postman getting his scalp torn off?
@@RC-bl2pm I see your point and I understand the genetics, but the dog was being playful and there was no history of aggression. Plus, the owner sought help. We all start somewhere and we only stop learning when we decide we know everything (that’s not aimed at you). Ivan Balabanov calls that stage being “unconsciously incompetent.” Will is an excellent teacher and the owner did a great job of learning.
this is how ya get girls to choke ya for free too lol jkjk hes like im gonna shut this cam of u pull harder call me bad and spray me with that would ya please for abou 15 mins well be ok love ur vids
so what you basically saying? she shouldent have the dog cause she's not able to be dominant enough to controll him..
No, he said she needs to find the tools that work for her.. not the same thing.
who else here believes that certain dogs should need a permit or at least some kind of test for the owner? or is it just me? And I am not being a a*** but even for the happiness of the dog
Is this Kendrick?
