Watching canine behavior is fascinating! Years ago before I pursued my career as an animal cop I spent a long time learning and observing their behaviors. One thing that helped me was knowing as good as I got reading their body language they were experts at reading ours! And I’m proud of the fact I was the only officer in three agencies who never got bit!
@@milesmontgomery1290 wdym “good enough” do you expect them to build a 10 ft tall wooden fence with barbs at the top? dogs will always find a way to get what they want, it’s natural
lol they're dogs... it is simple instincts to smell one another, that being said most small dogs aren't socialized enough with large dogs and tend to be reactive. That's why I only go to dog parks that have split pens (small, large, and combination). If your small dog goes in the combination pen they damn well better be friendly with all dogs no matter the size. Other than the occasional dominant large /medium size dog that tries to hump and gets kicked out pretty fast, the only issues I see are small dogs lashing out when another larger dog smells it or tries to play in the remote vicinity. And I get it, it must be intimidating for them, but if you're going into a combined pen like this guy your dog should be friendly to all dogs no matter the size or energy level or it shouldn't be there at all
Yeah, greyhounds are really hard to socialize. Only trained a few that liked dog parks. Good dogs tho. These dogs are the arch enemy & reason you can't go to dog parks. Sorry! Mine could help yours.
@@willl7780 oh yeah my next service dog I already have picked out of breeder and it's going to be a shepherd. I love my current staffy girl. She's amazing and national figure for service animals, but my dream dog is a shepherd 💕
Your dogs are running roughshod three to one on all the other dogs, and jumping on a human. Impressive (how you haven't been asked to leave and not return).
and the no leashes and having the dogs approach the small reactive dog. no matter how well trained, rules are there for a reason. Either way, their dogs still didn’t have enough impulse control and it could’ve ended differently, especially if it was a large reactive dog.
Since dogs are very close relatives to wolves they tend to act like it sometimes which justifies why they stay in a pack and when someone in the packs is in a fight the others will always help it’s just instinct and pack mentality he didn’t teach that that ofc
Yes and it’s very scary for a little dog to have such a big dog stand over it…big dog owner then blames little dog …I’m not liking these encounters.. I have a very well trained and behaved Chihuahua that walks off leash everyday and never gets into problems unless big dogs show aggression and get in her face … I would pick her up every time I see a big dog approaching as I don’t trust them with a little one.I know a lot of people don’t like Chihuahuas but it’s not about the dog it’s the owners try to remember that 😌
Thanks for the reminder not to go to dog parks. While you may find your dogs behavior interesting I'd bet alot of unwilling participants in your experiment do not.
100% same. It's one thing to control a dog off a leash in an open environment. It's a whole other ball game to control 3+ dogs off a leash in an open environment. This video is nothing but bravado. If you're heading in to the dog park with more than one dog, keep them leashed. If you don't, you're the problem.
Off leash parks are suppose to be fun for the dogs. It looks like your dog is the only dog having fun asserting his aggressive behavior towards all of the other dogs. This is NOT fun for the other dogs. Not cool at all…

You should always have your dog(s) on a leash when entering a dog park or anywhere where there could be triggers for your dog just with personal experience it is better to have a easier way to grab ahold of them. It also seams like ronian does not know a lot about personal space trust me i have a dog that does the samething where he goes straight up to the other dogs to sniff them which if they have met before is some what exceptable but not usally ideal because you do not know what will happened. Also Please do not let your dog jump the fence you are basically just letting your dog run around on his own and if he sees something that he wants he will go for it it will help also with meeting new dogs.
This owner is too full of himself and his dog to pay attention to your warning. Arrogance is his problem which is why he thinks this video is somehow proving what a great trainer and dog owner he is. His dog is a bully and yet he thinks that's acceptable behavior. He's an idiot.
But that’s how dogs meet each other, by sniffing. It’s like shaking hands for people. Why take your dog to a dog park if not to meet other dogs and desensitize. That makes no sense…
I would control ronin jumping straight over the fence at someone or another dog. Friendly or not, if I were the other dog and that happened to me without warning I would have went into defense out of instinct
These videos seem to promote triggering other dogs in the hope of getting a fight in a dog park purely for UA-cam monetization. For this reason I don't take my own Belgian shepherd to dog parks. IMO dog parks are for the lazy. Do some training or hiking/running with high energy dogs. Don't take them to dog parks to bully all the other dogs.
There was a male malinois at a dog park I used to take my male and female GSD's to that was always asserting its dominance. He even showed aggression with my young female who was still a pup. Well any way, he tried it with my Czech working line male and got curb stomped. Everyone in the park was glad he got put in his place too.
The German Shepherd was the most well-behaved dog there. Dog was doing what Ronin's owner should have been doing. Title should be, "German Shepherd Corrects Unruly Belgian Malinois At The Dog Park."
Ronin jumps over the fence gets me every time. 😂 It’s like a bunny hop. Though I hope you break him of that habit. Not safe to do that especially if someone is trying to introduce a new dog to a park environment using vthe fence as a blockade.
That last clip was gold. So glad I found your channel, have had dogs all my life but I am noticing that my timing on corrections and no-commands are so much better after seeing your vids.
Be careful. This UA-camr is wrong with the superimposed words most of the time, and what he’s doing is endangering other animals as well as his own in order to make money and gain social media clout. I’m sure you’re great, so don’t get fooled by this!
@@thea4His dog isnt trained to respect other dogs. So he is basicly putting any other dog at risk.(Apologies for my grammar. I kinda forgot about this)

I love you way you taught your dogs to ignore heckling dog! I've been trying to teach mine the same but she's pretty nervous and reactive around other dogs.
I used to have a German Shepherd/Malinois mix (nope, don't recommend it - we were a team but she was a handful.). When we were at the dog park, if some dog at the park bullied the other dogs, she wouldn't have it. "Behave!" was her motto. Never did any harm, was just decisive.
If you want to learn how to interpret (and 'speak') dog body language a good starter book is Turid Rugaas's 'On Talking Terms with Dogs - Calming Signals'. If nothing else you'll understand that dogs are conflict-resolution machines, watch the dogs in this video, how they curve into each other, slow down when required and are using body language extremely well to communicate constantly and effectively
Beautiful Shepherd, I love GSDs, had one for almost 13 years. Most majestic, intelligent and protective dog ever. Unfortunately it passed away due to hip dysplasia but would not hesitate to own 1 or 2 more :D
Would never take my dog to a dog park because I don't know the owners & dogs. Would never mix small dogs with large, either. My dog goes to daycare--supervised, similar size dogs & all vetted before being placed in a play group. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Wow, this was more heart-pounding than a suspense movie. I would have a heart attack if I had my dog at that park and those dogs rushed up on my dog. Whew. Glad there were no fights.
0:34 dogs don’t form in packs like wolves due to the neoteny of domestication so saying “leader of the pack” isn’t exactly accurate. 2:39 They are not pack animals like wolves and often times they rely on foraging for scraps over actual hunting. This leads to them congregating in large groups but not structured packs like what the video insinuates.
Not True.... they do have the "pack" instinct still in them, if you own a dog they consider YOU.. part of their pack...that's why YOU must be the alpha in the pack.....other wise the dog won't respect you ...or listen to you.....and that's when owners have problems..
I would have said that all the domination rituals indicate that they do still have the "leader of the pack" gene intact. Not every dog has such aspirations but a percentage do and that's pretty much the same as in a wolf pack. They don't ALL try to be top dog/wolf. Most herd or pack animals have an established hierarchy which they all follow until a genuine challenger steps up.
That was really interesting. I've had 3 GSDs in the past but, even with that experience, I learned a lot from this video. The way you pointed out and explained all the different behaviours was really well done. Thank you 🙂
I'll add that I do think very highly of my GSD, but I know his flaws. One of which is that, even if I did socialize him as much as humanly possible and a puppy, COVID did hinder that progress and now today I'm cautious. He's great and usually not the instigator, but I know. His signs and protective nature and I'm very cautious and watch him like a hawk in public places. I'm not saying these dogs aren't well trained or even completely safe (which I personally would never label)! But seems like he thinks too highly of his dog. And it's hard not to do, just like children, you see nothing but greatness and potential out of them. I really loved the video and his perspective of the outing at the dog park. It was a great watch and I really hope I'm not biased because of my love for GSD (which I don't think I am in this situation). But I think the Sheperd was naturally following his instincts and doing what was right in that situation. Long message, I've never watched any other videos of this person but I must say that it was a really great watch and my only point is that the headline (to me) was a tad misleading. Thx for the video!
@@Thomas-zt7dmyea, that’s because he’s a dumbass and has no business telling others how to train dogs, he is wrong most of the time and his dogs are out of control and take over the park with pack mentality
Ronin is the type of dog I wouldn’t allow off leash at the dog park until he has more training. He exhibits very dominant behavior, even towards small dogs. He also doesn’t respect other dog’s/people’s space. He’s a total bully. If you continue to allow this behavior, he’s going to eventually pick the wrong dog to mess with.. either that or he will end up mauling someone’s small dog to death.
I like your account and how it points out body language but I do want to point out that 1. At 3:35, sure Ronin was trying to play, but when he runs up on unfamiliar dogs like that and neither owner is close enough to correct the situation, the other dog is probably gonna feel the need to correct him (unless trained otherwise)-which is what I think that dog did. It seems you might’ve mistook that for “play”, but Roxy looks like she’s correcting Ronin and he kept pushing her to the point where she felt like she had to defend herself. She didn’t just become uncomfortable with the intensity, I don’t think she wanted to play to begin with. 2. Your dogs (Ronin, at least) kinda bully the other dogs and tend to not be very respectful when it comes to boundaries/personal space. Not sure if it’s intentional, but I do see a lot of dogs getting scared/feeling the need to correct them. 3. Whether you’re a handler or a dog, it still sucks to be ran up on by unfamiliar dogs (and can be Very unsafe for everyone involved). I saw one person trying to correct your dog for jumping on her. Not everyone who walks by the park with dogs is planning on actually interacting with other dogs, I know people who train their dogs outside of dog parks and their dogs would not do well being ran up on by large, unfamiliar and unleashed dogs. I also know a few people who might try to defend themself and their dogs by using something like spray or large sticks to prevent fights. A lot of people are not willing to risk traumatizing their trained/in training dogs. Please consider this.
This is the third video from this fella I have watched and he is completely wrong in all of them. Not leashing his dogs before the gate. Wrong. His dog jumping the fence to scare, intimidate and crowd dogs while they are on leash, very wrong. Never let your dog crowd dogs on leash. Stupid. This video just letting your out of control dog crowd and intimidate all other dogs. Letting your dog jump on people. And then the audacity to act like he is to instruct others on training. He is exactly why I never go to dog parks. Fools that think and act like they know so much while doing everything wrong. In another video his dog, out of control jumping the fence and he blames the other dog for getting aggressive, of course it did, you don’t control your dogs, ever
That German Shepherd is a wonderful dog. I liked the way he was herding and trying to make your Malinois behave.
The only problem here is that “Ronin” does not seem to respect other dogs’ “personal space” as you call it. Ronin is kind of a dick.
absolutely 🤨
I was thinking the same thing
Ronin thinks he is boss , but he a bully
Ronin is reactive and this shit of a person sees it as an ego boost
I think it may be the breed. We own a Belgian (not my choice however I have learned to love her a little) and she is extremely bossy.

This leads to them congregating in large groups but not structured packs like what the video insinuates.
Not True.... they do have the "pack" instinct still in them, if you own a dog they consider YOU.. part of their pack...that's why YOU must be the alpha in the pack.....other wise the dog won't respect you ...or listen to you.....and that's when owners have problems..
I would have said that all the domination rituals indicate that they do still have the "leader of the pack" gene intact.
Not every dog has such aspirations but a percentage do and that's pretty much the same as in a wolf pack.
They don't ALL try to be top dog/wolf.
Most herd or pack animals have an established hierarchy which they all follow until a genuine challenger steps up.
That was really interesting. I've had 3 GSDs in the past but, even with that experience, I learned a lot from this video. The way you pointed out and explained all the different behaviours was really well done. Thank you 🙂
bro got hops
Another Great Video and Nice Day Out at the Park with Your Pack. Thank you for sharing.
Seems like the German Shepherd was the one doing the corrections to the Belgian wasn't it?
My read is that starting at 3:56 the GSD was continuously splitting, referred to in the video as 'herding'
Yeah, but ronin can do no wrong 🙄
@@angryiguana7492ya this dude’s content has gone downhill in my opinion
I'll add that I do think very highly of my GSD, but I know his flaws. One of which is that, even if I did socialize him as much as humanly possible and a puppy, COVID did hinder that progress and now today I'm cautious. He's great and usually not the instigator, but I know. His signs and protective nature and I'm very cautious and watch him like a hawk in public places.
I'm not saying these dogs aren't well trained or even completely safe (which I personally would never label)! But seems like he thinks too highly of his dog. And it's hard not to do, just like children, you see nothing but greatness and potential out of them.
I really loved the video and his perspective of the outing at the dog park. It was a great watch and I really hope I'm not biased because of my love for GSD (which I don't think I am in this situation). But I think the Sheperd was naturally following his instincts and doing what was right in that situation.
Long message, I've never watched any other videos of this person but I must say that it was a really great watch and my only point is that the headline (to me) was a tad misleading.
Thx for the video!
@@Thomas-zt7dmyea, that’s because he’s a dumbass and has no business telling others how to train dogs, he is wrong most of the time and his dogs are out of control and take over the park with pack mentality
You badly need a dog whisperer
Ronin is the type of dog I wouldn’t allow off leash at the dog park until he has more training. He exhibits very dominant behavior, even towards small dogs. He also doesn’t respect other dog’s/people’s space. He’s a total bully. If you continue to allow this behavior, he’s going to eventually pick the wrong dog to mess with.. either that or he will end up mauling someone’s small dog to death.
I like your account and how it points out body language but I do want to point out that
1. At 3:35, sure Ronin was trying to play, but when he runs up on unfamiliar dogs like that and neither owner is close enough to correct the situation, the other dog is probably gonna feel the need to correct him (unless trained otherwise)-which is what I think that dog did. It seems you might’ve mistook that for “play”, but Roxy looks like she’s correcting Ronin and he kept pushing her to the point where she felt like she had to defend herself. She didn’t just become uncomfortable with the intensity, I don’t think she wanted to play to begin with.
2. Your dogs (Ronin, at least) kinda bully the other dogs and tend to not be very respectful when it comes to boundaries/personal space. Not sure if it’s intentional, but I do see a lot of dogs getting scared/feeling the need to correct them.
3. Whether you’re a handler or a dog, it still sucks to be ran up on by unfamiliar dogs (and can be Very unsafe for everyone involved). I saw one person trying to correct your dog for jumping on her. Not everyone who walks by the park with dogs is planning on actually interacting with other dogs, I know people who train their dogs outside of dog parks and their dogs would not do well being ran up on by large, unfamiliar and unleashed dogs. I also know a few people who might try to defend themself and their dogs by using something like spray or large sticks to prevent fights. A lot of people are not willing to risk traumatizing their trained/in training dogs.
Please consider this.
100% agree. Ronin is very poorly trained. That dog is a menace and will ultimately maul someone or their dog.
WHERE IS THAT?
THAT is one heck-of-a-DOG PARK!
WOW!!
i love your vids!!
Resource guarding isn’t an issue til it’s a behavior issue. Boundaries are IMPORTANT especially between dogs
"please leash your dog when exiting the park" -> proceeds not to leash dogs, did not even bring leashes - not cool
This is the third video from this fella I have watched and he is completely wrong in all of them. Not leashing his dogs before the gate. Wrong. His dog jumping the fence to scare, intimidate and crowd dogs while they are on leash, very wrong. Never let your dog crowd dogs on leash. Stupid. This video just letting your out of control dog crowd and intimidate all other dogs. Letting your dog jump on people. And then the audacity to act like he is to instruct others on training. He is exactly why I never go to dog parks. Fools that think and act like they know so much while doing everything wrong. In another video his dog, out of control jumping the fence and he blames the other dog for getting aggressive, of course it did, you don’t control your dogs, ever
Throwing all those dogs in that lol ass car 😂
NO to dog parks. period
More like German Shepherd corrects YOUR dog lol
This is a scary mean dog!!
Yep! Thanks. Maybe he'll read & learn.
Awesome video! Thank you so much! 😍🐶
I really like your content.
So cool, how do you decipher all these dog codes. Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So who is the owner? Since it’s your dog, you are responsible for everything, including cost of injuries to other dogs.
I love this kind of content🤩
Ron in was a pain in the arse the entire time.
