I watch a lot of "It's Me or the Dog"; Victoria Stillwell is a wonderful trainer who gives amazing tips on how to lovingly connect and communicate with dogs, especially those who don't have the confidence to stay calm in stressful situations. She never uses force or tools of discomfort on the dog, and emphasizes the trust needed between pet and owner.
I love it when people like you make a stand! I agree totally with you. Patience time and positive reinforcement with a lot of love works so much better than agressive mean spirited tactics.
I've seen so many of those "reach out to Dog Daddy" comments lately & I'm glad you addressed why his methods aren't for you. Hopefully those comments lessen & you don't get too many coming thinking they are defending him by attacking you. One thing I will say is please remember to always protect your space. Haters are going to do what they do best and I personally love reminding them that the "block" button works🤣
I subscribe to the mindset of: "If you wouldnt let someone use it on YOU then *DO NOT* use it on an animal." With very few exceptions. So unless Dog Daddy or his followers are okay with wearing prong collars, choke collars, electric shock collars, etc etc on themselves to their fullest extent then their "Methods" are nothing more than abuse and bullying. However I respect your measured and mature approach to the subject. As always your kindness and bravery shine through.
I was watching, listening, and just had to awww because of that sweet boy. Who would want to destroy that cuddlebugs trust instead of building up his confidence?
Biggest respect Lisa and Grant, I've personally not heard of that guy but we have dog trainers over here that sound alot like him and like yourselves I find it impossible to watch, just really upsets me. You guys are doing your best for my little Stan and he's the luckiest guy in the world to have you 2 in his corner and that you haven't just given up and been like, no this is too much etc. All of my love to you all, your fantastic, Jen 🌹
Thank you for the info. I was unaware of the collar he uses & was actually looking into his class. I'm totally against that too & have now unfollowed him.
It's unfortunate many people don't understand that if you terrify a mammal into shock-induced compliance, that that is different from helping them. Ask any childhood abuse survivor.
I hope you look into Beckmans in Ramona CA. Joel Beckman has been working with reactive and aggressive dogs for years. He is an expert at reading dogs and getting enemy dogs to be friends. He has a large facility with fields and a fantastic dog pool....he trains with PLAY as a part of the training. He also works groups of dogs with your dog. He uses a lead, often a regular collar or easy leader nose harness, to direct the dog . He does employ a snap of the lead to get the dogs attention but he demonstrates how it is directing, not pulling. It is like a reign on a horse, it seems. I have been watching his UA-cam channel and that is where I am forming my opinion. I have not met him , but would consider him seriously if i had your issue.His videos are fascinating. Watch several, keep an open mind. He lives about 2 hours from you in Ramona CA. He also has a training institute for people to learn from him. He is a different type of trainer , no shock, no prong....Sounds like an option to ❤
I think you’re doing a fantastic job. Especially with how well you handled the socializations with the dogs. You do You and don’t think twice about those comments.
While I agree with you and support you on this matter, one thing I would juat like to state is that slip leads are not at all dangerous and very beneficial IF, and I mean IF, people know how to properly and safely use them. In an ideal scenario, they are wonderful for guiding and training dogs easily and also for rescue situations as I have personally had to use one multiple times on strays you cant get close to. I just wanted to say this just to clear up that they are not necessarily bad or dangerou, just that using them without the proper knowledge or training they can but are otherwise very helpful. Appreciate everything you do and love your content! P.s. I dont agree with ANYTHING dog daddy does. It's criminal.
@@SunVillageAR I understand your point and agree that they can be very dangerous. You should not be using them on a dog that pulls aggressively nor should someone be pulling or yanking on them as you stated. However, if a dog understands just the presence of some being put around their neck, there is no need for pulling, tightening, etc. Even if you do need to put some tension on it, you don't have to pull any harder than the tightness of a collar, likewise if the dog is pulling you can loosen up and then gently put the tautness back into the lead. Like I said this is not for dogs who love to forcefully pull, I agree there is not a good way to get around that. Also most dogs with leash/lead understanding recognize the appropriate safe pressure and tightness around them, causing them to think there's no need to pull. Also just as a point, even people who use a traditional collar/leash combo can be injuring their dog far more. Many collars are too loose on dogs because their owners are afraid of cutting off oxygen or making them uncomfortable. A single hard pull on a leash attached to a loose collar can be far more damaging to their neck and throat, with even the risks of strangulation if there is persistent pulling. I'm not trying to argue btw, I just genuinely enjoy discussing this type of stuff. You are completely valid in your own thoughts and opinions. At the end of the day, all that matters is that all our furry loved ones are happy and healthy 💜
@@SunVillageAR Harnesses are honestly the best! People don't often realize how beneficial they are. I just got a unique one for my 13 year old pup that comes in 2 pieces with handles. He has a hard time getting up and down my flight of stairs and it works wonders!!also I've always used one for him when hiking.
Caesar Milan is another famous dog trainer for difficult dogs and here in uk 🇬🇧 he has been criticized for being abusive to dogs. Your pit bull seems a sweetie but he switches when he sees other dogs. Eru Is an absolute darling. Maybe in time this doggie will realise it’s OK to just be rather than pounce on other dogs as if he’s in a dog fight. It would be really interesting to see what techniques you use even though I have no dogs of my own. This doggie seems a challenging one and he’s a popular breed for dog fights .. so it will be very interesting to see what can happen and how this doggie will move forward from here.
I respect your honesty, I do support Dog Daddy because I have seen and heard his explanations as to the only collar he uses for training not for every day use, the snxiety of the dog, how to teach them to follow, not be aggressive, provide positive reinforcement, and I have seen the follow videos with the same dogs after training...weeks or months after... But I also love your methods and care
I hadn’t heard about this channel before, and I respect that you don’t want to work with someone whose practices go against your ethics where animals are concerned. Hopefully now that your stance is made clear in video form, people who didn’t see previous responses in the comments will understand. I really hope no one is foolish enough to try and debate you on the subject; you just want to care for animals with your own research and that’s totally valid. ❤ Edit after reading the pinned post: as someone who isn’t as knowledgeable about dog training, that’s visibly upsetting to read about, let alone watch. I completely understand why you and Grant don’t want to be associated with this person and his training methods. All the love for you both!
Good for you! I just spent time looking into the Zak George mess, I wasn’t aware… Dog Daddy’s methods are dangerous. He manipulates his viewers with comments like “I’m the dogs last chance” to invoke emotional responses. Offering Zak 50k for him to “show up” and prove his methods work best. Then using Zak’s “silence” as proof of anything… it’s egotistical nonsense and gaslighting 101. He’s uneducated and ignorant to what his methods are truly doing to these animals. It’s abuse and his cult following is gross…
He hasn't come up in quite a while in my recommended but he mostly annoyed me. What really pissed me off was when he just let his 4-6 large dogs (don't remember exactly how many) off-leash in a city. Because no matter how well trained you believe your dogs are that is never okay
I like your stance and methods. I looked at Dog Daddy's video, his methods remind me a lot of The Dog Whisperer. I don't really agree with either's approach.
I tried training the puppy recently. Tried getting a sibling to do it but instead had to pull the puppy away from him since whenever the puppy would do something wrong he'd wrap his hands around the puppy's neck and said that's how you do it. I don't think I could ever trust my family on training a dog that well considering it was my 12 year old brother that did that and almost choked the puppy. Rex, the puppy, is actually smart and doesn't make too much mistakes thankfully. I've had issues with relatives not being nice to puppies in the past and one threw one against a fence since it was crying. I'll have to train my family if I want them to train the puppy too.
@@SunVillageAR I've seen most things someone can do to most animals. It's common for children to copy what an adult does. The puppy was alright after everything and is about 8 years old living with a different relative of mine.
@@Urolling 😢💔 Until I educated him, my deceased husband abused animals. He'd simply copied the behaviour his adoptive father had demonstrated to him, when he was a child. When we know better... We do better...
Good for you! People like him are for extreme cases that can not be rehabilitated and they should never be adopted out, but do need a place/shelter to live out their lives, where staff, are aware of the dangers. You have had no incident with this dog, there is no reason to use extreme measures. Once again I urge caution, try not to be distracted while speaking in the dogs proximity, keep your face away from his (this goes for all dogs) dogs should be trained as puppies not to lick faces or jump up on people. I couldn't care less if they know how to sit or fetch - if they know not to jump up or lick faces, don't pull when walked - then that's a trained dog.
I don't think you need any dog daddy he's not a mean dog most dogs if your talking about the sweetie pit bull you need a trainer to give a good advice where it's needed dog daddy handles by what is even mean dogs what I think you have there is a untrained sweetie and you already can handle him he's like a bad child that the word no means yes looool
Depends on what you call "working". You can break the spirit of any sentient creature and call that working if they do what you want. Doesn't mean is healthy or good for them.
I did a bit of digging last year. I don't recommend him either. There's an extensive reddit post about it. Also, court filings by folks. If I may, I would suggest that you find a vet that can do lab work on him to see if his endocrine system is in check. Not just normal kind, but the kind that requires adrenal gland and pancreas. Systemic aggression is present in dogs with trauma. They have high cortisol, and can have borderline diabetes. Those two things, it's gasoline for dogs with trauma. It'll take something small, like petting another dog, for him to snap. There's treatment tho. Once you get that checked out, he may have to take some meds. That can really change his behavior in a short time. He will probably integrate into a family with no issues. If everything checks out, and he's healthy, he will most likely need to go to a home with someone who is home a lot, like work from home, with no children or other pets of any kind. He will need someone he can trust, because he will have trauma caused attachment issues. He will behave, and will do very well if he knows he is safe. Trust is everything with these rescues. You have earned it, and I see signs of beginning of an attachment issue when I see how he interacts with y'all. That's a coping mechanism for stress from fear. That's probably why he wags his tail a lot. He looks nervous. That makes me nervous for you. Just remember, most of us are here. Like, HERE. Whatever it is you need, we can all chip in and find a way. You're doing a wonderful job, and we appreciate you and your husband for going above and beyond!
I also really don't like most channels about fixing dog behaviour because most of them use choking collars, shock collars, and other things that will hurt the dog. There are only some out there that train the dog without scarring them emotionally or physically.
There are proper ways to use those, and I don’t think most of the channels that use them use them correctly you’re supposed to be able to fit your hand under the prong, and should only be used for polling purposes as a last resort, and never to keep constant tight, hold things like that. Um, the color supposed to do The work it is supposed to feel like the mother is scruffing them, like when they were babies I do not like dog daddy you still have to use non-aggressive and reinforcement with treats and praise to do proper training. Prong collars are only to be a deterrent from pulling to be honest even dog trainers can not be properly trained with those that being said electric fences and shock collars i am flat out against they can get a fence or a lead is what i tell people when clients ask about it i ask them would u put that on you child when they say jo i say then why put it in your dog that usually changes their mind with that
I heard from a neighbor of mine that their dog almost died due to a shock collar getting water on it when the dog drank some water. Their dog didn't seem the same after that incident but they stopped using shock collars. 😢
As a dog trainer, prong collars are only to be used for pulling nonaggression,,purposes and I think people dont know that the collar should not be tight. U should be able to fit ur fingers under tje prong the point is to when a dog starts to Pull during walking it’s supposed to feel like they are being scuffed by their mother no pulling jerking or holding it taught u still have to use force free training when using them but if tou dint afree to use them that is fine too i wouldn’t use it on a dog who has had any type of trauma either and sre a ladt resort if all other options dont work when it comes to puling
@@SunVillageAR I absolutely respect your opinion and that is fine I think you guys do great work you’ve done so much wonderful stuff for these dogs. I did not mean my comment in any sort of aggressive way and dog. Daddy is a terrible person. I don’t agree with him at all. I don’t like him.
@@SunVillageAR there are some great training courses that use treat and positive reinforcement training. I think you guys would make great certified dog trainers. Especially running a rescue that way you don’t have to outsource. I think it’s so great what you guys are doing and I hope that whoever tried to hurt this dog I saw your other video. I hope that his old owners get brought to justice because that is the sweetest dog. He just wants to hug and kiss everybody.
@Laura Mailhot, we need to be careful not to criticize the person... "he is a terrible person" and just comment on the training. Unless you know him personally and have evidence of how terrible he is, we need to be mindful of our words.
The only prongs I agree with on dog collars are the ones for lifestock guardian dogs. But that's because they are on the outside and meant to protect the dog
I had a rescued street dog from soi dog foundation. The only mechanism that worked for us was the prong. It took 30 minutes and our lives were changed. He was used to fighting as well, lot of facial scars. The prong allowed me to communicate with him, a small flick and he knew “oh ok got it, we’re cool, keep it moving”. Thought I’d share my story with the prong. I have definitely seen people use them WHOLLY improperly and it’s a shame. It’s a great tool. Hermspringer brand only though. That you guys for what you’re doing for these dogs. You’re changing their lives and it’s amazing to watch.
I will be very interested in seeing more videos on how he is desensitized without using the dog daddy and Caesar Milan techniques and EVEN thr fitbullytv techniques. He says don’t let a dog run the house let him know you are boss.

I had a rescued street dog from soi dog foundation. The only mechanism that worked for us was the prong. It took 30 minutes and our lives were changed. He was used to fighting as well, lot of facial scars. The prong allowed me to communicate with him, a small flick and he knew “oh ok got it, we’re cool, keep it moving”.
Thought I’d share my story with the prong. I have definitely seen people use them WHOLLY improperly and it’s a shame. It’s a great tool. Hermspringer brand only though.
That you guys for what you’re doing for these dogs. You’re changing their lives and it’s amazing to watch.
I will be very interested in seeing more videos on how he is desensitized without using the dog daddy and Caesar Milan techniques and EVEN thr fitbullytv techniques. He says don’t let a dog run the house let him know you are boss.
Dog Daddy is a huge success in saving dogs
