The Problem With Owning A Young Male Dog
Вставка

- I work with lots of clients who have young male dogs and they all seem to run into trouble at around the same age! This then leads to behaviour problems down the line which could have been avoided!
If you have a young male dog this advice will either help you avoid certain situations or at least help to explain why you may be facing problems with a dog that has already been in them.

I noticed when looking to adopt that a lot of dogs were getting given up on too.
I can really relate to your posts and guidance and I have always worked on trying to be the best that I can for my boy.
I see so many people just letting their dogs run towards other people and their dogs.
Very interesting and well put as always.
Love the way you think, love the way you present information. It just makes sense to people like me. Thanks Ben, Stay Up! Your time is coming 💯
The cat has spoken.
Thank you❤️
I'm sitting here smiling because what you're talking about reminds me of when I used to work in an institution where young men were taken when they, among other things, had a problem with the word "No", being told no, that is. They had an impulse control of a toddler and that got them into trouble. That in combination with that they often were quite tall and carried around a bunch of muscles, didn't do them any favours when they were trying to interact with other people. For some reason they always ended up with me. The other staff members tried to stay away from them as much as they possibly could. I liked them and I think they could tell. What they didn't fully understand was that people could find them scary (they were quite scared themselves). I remember one incident when one of "my" boys wanted his money. They were kept in a locked cupboard since they couldn't handle money. They'd use all their money and when they didn't have any money left, to get cigarrettes for instance, they tried to force others to give them money.
Like I said they didn't like the word no, so this young man started hitting me in the belly, not hard at all just to give some weight to his words. I told him "Stop hitting me, you frighten me!" He loked at me, startled, "Are you afraid of me? That's ridiculous!" Young male dogs and young males have a lot in common 😂
I have a friend who worked in a place that sounds similar to this place and we often talk about the similarities to adolescent dogs! Young adulthood is a tough time for all species it seems!
Well said!
Are they resting on a table? They're basically puppy piling back there.
Rather interesting, I've had an easier time introducing new dogs if they're male, although yeah it's often that males start sizing each other up when they meet, even if they are following my rules.
It's the females I have had to be extra careful with regarding their interactions with other female dogs, especially if they're the same size.
I don't love intervening if two females pick a fight with each other.
Males are a bit easier to stop. They're not aiming to inflict much harm. It's usually more noise than something truly serious.
Those were my live and learn moments from ages ago. I do not let dogs get into any situation to trigger a fight.
I completely get what you're talking about here. Young male dogs can have a tendency towards being goofs. They do take longer to mature. Females can often leap ahead faster with training, and they tend to remain very non-distracted when working.
Your plan of action to develop these dogs is ideal.
Good observations and advice.
Yeah they are just chilling there! Agreed! Thank you
Hello do you do social classes
Hey, not at the moment but I will be doing something like that in the near future!
i love all dogs but i prefer to have female dogs than male dogs because male dogs are more work
Canine males, like human males, have a little longer adolescence, are a little slower to develop bladder control, and are often quite a bit larger than their female equivalent. That creates a lot of frustration for owners (and some parents…) during the 6-18 month adolescent period. OTOH, adult male dogs are often cuddlier while the females are a little more independent. A lot of performance competitors prefer males because once they’ve matured, they’re more trainer focused. I like them both!
why would you get a male dog if you don't get along with male dogs it doesn't make sence
Because I’d like a change. Why would you take time out of your day to dump your negative energy on to others? Maybe you should change too?
I have always owned/kept male dogs from my litters, and I've found they are easily trained but there is a stubbornness in them that can be present as late as 2-3 years old, i put this down to them being adolescent boys and i remember my adolescence so i give them a bit of leeway lol.

I have a male gsd nearly 2yo and he fits your description
