She’s stunning, seems very young still. Glad the owner is socializing her at a young age, she’s skittish buy for a high content wolfdog she’s doing great in the dog park.
This is a great educational video. It shows how even well socialized dogs can still be selective about other dogs and dislike another dog even if the other dog is not being rude. Conversely, they will tolerate rude behavior from another dog and still play. You can tell he is well trained and well socialized by his controlled reactions to dogs he dislikes. Such a good boy Ronin!
@dianadelcastillo1896 The Wolf dog is still a puppy. As soon as it matures, it will happen. If you watch this guys videos, you'll know. His dog's been involved in several fights, and his dog started them. Also I guess you can condone him, ignoring the leash law.
@@BBBYpsidog “fights” aren’t always avoidable, nor are they always undesirable. What we see as fighting is sometimes stubbornness, dominance sorting, or even just a mild correction. Once went to a wolf dog preserve, where they specified in one pen that you had to wait for them to come to you if you wanted to pet them. The highest percentage they had (98%) dog came right up to me and plopped his butt on my feet. His buddy woke up and sauntered over to get some scritches too and my wolf simply low growled, which would sound aggressive to anyone because of the pitch, but which, based on his body posture, seemed to be more of a “get your own” to me. My husband and I both stayed as is, and in fact I didn’t even stop petting, but most of the others in the enclosure reacted nervously. We helped a friend who had a month where he was waiting to get into an apartment and couldn’t have his dog with him. He came into our pack of 4 and tried to hump my female. She was not receptive and would flip around and snarl and snap at him, setting off our Spaniel. It took about a week before he found his place and the rest of the month passed with zero incident. My female would even correct the puppy we rescued. Even though she was extremely maternal and tolerant, sometimes those puppy teeth in the armpit were just too much and she would open mouth pin him to the ground around his neck. If his growl changed when playing, both she and my husband’s female would corner him. Normal behavior for dogs is not what we see as normal.
One thing I like about this channel is the owner has no issue with showing when his dogs(mainly Ronin) is in the wrong and even lets other dogs properly correct him at the parks and that's cool because many other owners try to hide that with their dog to try and act like their picture perfect when showing that actually helps to teach the audience.
I have a big problem with it because he keeps doing the same thing & anyone with half a brain after so many fights at a dog park he should never take that dog to a dog park. Also letting it run free off leash in a public setting is so wrong & against the law. He acts like he is a expert but is in reality gonna someday be sued because of liability.
@@BBBYpsiyou’ve clearly never been to a dog park, dogs are allowed off leash which is why owners take them and likely don’t have a dog, based on your responses. Many dogs at the park are high energy and this is the only way for owners to expend that energy in some spaces, like cities. This means that there will be cases where things can easily get out of hand, especially if the humans don’t read dog body language well. There will be all levels of training and personality, yes, some dogs are just little 💩) and you can see that Ronin is well trained and actually well tempered, if you’d ever been around them. Just like with humans, it isn’t who snaps first that starts the “fight”. It is often started by one dog abusing the boundaries of another, basically the little kid holding his finger right next to them or talking smack. Some dogs have a shorter FAFO fuse. Also, corrections aren’t “fights”. Snapping, snarling and growling, as Ronin did here, especially if they resort to posture and growling first, are good indicators that an animal has a pretty even temperament and is just communicating a boundary. Dogs don’t, unlike humans, expect another dog to “read their mind”. We were visiting a friend’s house and our dog got cornered under the table because her dog was a little 💩. Our dog corrected her and she continued so our dog made a more severe correction which resulted in stitches because her dog was fighting for dominance. Our friend understood this, we paid for the stitches and everything was fine.
@@shellyirby9828 Me too. Love the video's of dogparks. The trust. Mine is deaf and little. Wouldn't dare. Because of big dogs and their teeth. Don't trust my little one, out of fear, snipping first and giving the wrong signals, to the bigger ones....He would be laying on his back all the time. "I surrender....". Total panic. It is a world on its own. Dogparks. Beautiful to see, how they are free.
You saying about how the video doesn't do her size justice, is exactly how I felt when I visited a zoo and saw African wild dogs. They don't look any bigger or stronger than a regular house dog. Boy was I wrong 😂

I have zero, zero, zero dog knowledge about behavior or anything. I've spent most of my life in fear of dogs than loving them. Essentially if a dog made eye contact with me I'm looking for a place to run. A lot of trauma growing up. Over the years though, and in the military I've come across some awesome dogs that has helped me get over that fear, and at some point I would like to get a service dog for my PTSD. Videos like these help me out A LOT! Explaining everything with the ears, head movement, lip licking, body position, etc. really helps. From my perspective all I see is "aggression aggression aggression," but not anymore. Thank you!!!
Reminds me of an incident at RV dog park in Gold Canyon AZ in winter 2009? Lots of dogs playing fetch with tennis balls and dogs loafing around, ya know just being dogs. Lots of noise and barking. In comes this dog (as big as a wolf) - looked all business like. It let out a deep throated rumbling WOOF and the place just stopped. Not a sound from other dogs. This dog must of been real proud of himself. Took a few minutes for the noise and commotion to pick up. Later I found it to be a Tibetan Wolf Hound/Charpee mix. The wrinkly skin made it look all cuddly but those sharp pointy ears told you it mean business.
I had several wolf dogs in the past when I was younger, and they were always better behaved than my regular dogs. They were 75% and higher, looked a lot like this one.,
Being intact (or not) is not the cause of your dog's stubborness. It's the breed. They are VERY strong-willed. I've owned intact dogs of all breeds: my GSD and Rottie cross were both super easy to handle. My Heelers however are a whole different story. It's the Mal, not the balls. LOL.
I don't think so. Our pup did that with his head over the back of other dogs for a while and he got himself severely chastised at the dog park. Once he was fixed, no issues. It's testosterone pushing them to be overly assertive. Calm the hormones down and it calms the dog.
I’m really surprised after watching some of your videos that a dog fight hasn’t broken out yet (not in a bad way) it’s just where I live if you take your dog to the dog park for an hour your guaranteed to see at least three or four close calls or full blown fights
Where is this? I have taken the three dogs I've had (each separately) to dog parks and they have never been in a fight, and I've never seen a fight. I've heard about some so I'm not saying they don't happen. But at our local park we have a rule that you get your dog tired BEFORE bringing them in...
Dominance based breed that has been bred with top quality genetics, even the wolf fell in love. He's a handsome boy. Love the Japanese naming. I named my boy Kiba because it means "Fang" in Japanese and does he have them big teefs lol. Mali's are highly intelligent and have very keen senses and intuition not to mention the fact that they are herding dogs meant to protect livestock from these types of animals so it was natural for him to be fearful of the wolf-dog.
The most amazing dog I ever met was from Alaska. Half wolf half Collie. They were not going for "the look" but for intelligence and smart and behavior and they succeeded. Most people were not even sure it was part wolf, was totally comfortable around people. Her owner could tell her to "go get" one of the kids or the husband, never failed to come back with that family member. She would also leave the toddler and kindergartner with just the "dog" on the playground confident they were safe. We were in Germany and at the time (on an Army post) there were enough hostile gunshots I would not with my own kids strong dog or not.
Collies crossbreeds (had a collie, retriever, shepherd, super mutt) tend to have the people pleasing, voice command, part of the collie. They are also exceptionally smart. We could tell her, when we were in an open field and the lab got too far and pretended to be unable to hear us, to go round her up and bring her, and she’d go run circles around her and check her back to us, even though she’d never been trained. Also, with wolf dogs,as I understand it, you never know quite what the personality impact will be.
Having owned a Malinois before and currently a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, I can say from first hand knowledge and experience they have a switch that flips and when it does they are all business. It's not their size, it's their intelligence, determination, focus, and ability. I would not want to be on the wrong end of a Malinois. All the more reason it is crucial to socialize and train them to keep them from being too dangerous for civilians to have. There are definite reasons why the military and law enforcement use these dogs above most others including the German Shepherd.
1:42 I would note that she didn’t like the dog, the one that did not like Ronin running up on her when she was about to drink, one of the most vulnerable positions for any animal. That might be why Ronin was annoyed, almost like a “don’t involve me in your shenanigans, and she goes low when he stands up straight to show her issue wasn’t with him.
Hi 5 months per year I am usually fishing after work, are wolf hybrids generally independent to the point that they are ok with seeing owners only a few hours per day?
Your Malinois looks exactly like my Anatolian/Malinois cross. My pup has true double dew claws of the Anatolian and the curled tail. Same coloring, same legginess…mine has white front boots.
Just be careful of what you're getting into. They can be very difficult - can be! If you've never had a large dog before go with something more manageable for you to learn and practice training every day. Good luck, they are beautiful!
I once met a half Arctic Wolf at a sanctuary when I was in my early teens, he had black fur (his dad was a gray/timber wolf) and his name was Fluffy, his mother (arctic wolf) was there as well with her new mate (gray wolf)
I really like your videos. Do you think you could regularly upload videos please? I would love to see how Ronin is doing now and the rest of the pack. I really like your information on canine communication. It's a great informative learning to all dog owners. Thanks!
there is a very beautyfull wolfdog in my neighbourhood too well raised and really calm. unfortunate for me i got my Malinois very traumitized by other dogs and i was too young and inexperienced to socialize her. se will turn 13 this year so bit too late but im picking up some good info from your channel for my next dog thaanks for the awesome content
She looks exactly like my dog. My girl is the puppy of a ~90% wolf and a 100% husky. Looks just like her and acts the same. Tail tuck and evasive maneuvers too 😂
I have two pitbull/husky mix. I still working on there recall. The boy is good but my female has a high prey drive. I am very much still working on both of them
Move your focus to Downs and Down+Stay. It’s easier to get distance away from and move around with the dog Down. Sitting it’s easier for some dogs to be tempted to break because two legs are already up. As soon as your dog masters the concept of Stay in Down revisit Sits +Stay and you should have better results. Don’t forget Stand-Stay too!
My Belgium Mal/German Shepherd mix was well trained who we were gifted her when she was too gentle for her police training program. But she was not socialized. Your ideas have been invaluable in reading her signals. She is very sensitive so just overly stern verbal correction of NO or AHH AHH AHH makes her soo sad and avoiding eye contact and physical closeness after more than a year. So, we incorporated dog signals into our behavior to lighten the mood and get her to understand play behavior. It has worked wonderfully.she has gone from protectively growling and guarding her immediate family to being able to be approached and petted by strangers while in sit and enjoying repeat attention from people she recognizes from dog trail. She is starting to find dog friends when off leash in open dog park area who like to chase also. In our own yard, while off leash she will take her own sit and then she will watch but not chase all the rabbits, birds, squirrels because we are next to her. Then she sniffs their trails like crazy once we free her self imposed sit. We are s lucky to have her.
Mate your commands of that dog have got to have more seriousness inflected into it, especially when he ignores you on the first command. It's got to be a firm NO followed with a stern HERE.
My young unknown mix rescue acts the same way as this wolf dog, she looks the same too, other than being an almost traditional german shepherd color. She's very skittish, yet very protective of me. Doesn't do great at the dog park and seems afraid of all the dogs there. She plays well with our other rescue who is smaller, but older and a bit more of a jerk. She's a great dog, but I'm thinking she comes from a GSD and wolf. She has those long legs that are close together, and a tiny skull like most wolfs.
Sounds like she needs a lesson on impulse control. You can research on that or get her a trainer. I won't give advise coz my dog also has issues with impulse control and I haven't managed to get her to a place where I can trust her. Can't have the blind leading the blind lol 😅
We’d need to know more about her breed because that would determine, to an extent, her triggers, motivations, and “preferred jobs”. For example, our doxie mix has always loved burrowing and we often wondering how he can breathe under layers of covers and is quite stubborn and difficult to train. Our collie, shepherd mix, liked to run perimeter checks at night, never slept in the bed with us, was prey driven and kept everything out of her yard but couldn’t care less out and about, wanted nothing more than to be pet for hours, and would “check in” mostly by staring at me with her head on the bed until I woke up😂. Our lab was a couch potato who was extremely food motivated. Our little guy likes to be active in short bursts, chasing the hose, fetch or swimming, with lots of sleeping but could not be off leash. The lab liked to walk or swim, slowly 😂 and her nose would detour her if off leash, but she was incredibly smart and we had to start spelling her favorite words until she learned to spell and we had to speak in code😂. The collie mix, hated getting wet, would run circles in the yard by herself just to burn off energy, rest for 15 then be ready to go again, and was easily voice command able, no leash required. The reason is doxies are bred to be ratters and go into burrows, independently. They are often stubborn. Labs are swimmers to pull nets, and retrievers to flush and retrieve waterfowl, so they have a soft mouth and have to be obedient. Collies are bred to work with humans and be high energy but also commendable from a distance. Shepherds and collies are both perimeter protectors. So, knowing the breed(s) will help. You also need to learn her body posture. There will be cues for alertness (ears up, chest up), that you can correct before she takes off, with a sharp tug on the leash then immediate release. You can also tap them near their neck, open hand like a mouth, because that is what a dog would do. It might also depend on age. Good luck!
1:30 No, that's wrong, but I knew you would say that about a wolf. Here the tail means submissiveness and immediately turns into calmness because your dog is a bit dominant and imposing, but still grounded. If she was scared, her tail would be stick to her belly. A dog's body language wouldn't really be any different here, just a bit more confused, a wolf's is much clearer. A dog's straigt drooping tail doesn't mean fear, it means submissiveness or insecurity. Fear always expresses itself in the same way: As with us men - everything that stands out is drawn inwards. That's why we call it in Germany "den Schwanz einziehen" - Which means as much as “pull in the tail”. Every man knows what I'm talking about😉.
An interesting thing I noticed is that some dogs treat wolf dogs just like any other dog, while other dogs almost seem to treat them like different animals, either with wariness or even fear, and in a few cases, some dogs show actual predator prey responses when interacting with fully grown wolf dogs. I wonder if it's Instinctual, since wolves do kill and suppress feral dogs in the wild to reduce competition and eliminate potential threats to their pups.
Thankfully he is intact, as the vet would love to get another dog neutered or spyied, so they would be welcome to come back more often for lifetime treatments and probably more surgeries.
in germany we have lots and lots of intact dogs. i have a cocker 4 times a week - in the beginning he was mounting all the time but as i gave him more work to do (lots of sniffing games, not only movement. sniffing uses the brain a lot) and quite a lot of interaction between me and him during the walk he was mounting much less without needing many more corrections. stray dogs are intact and don't mount all the time because they have a lot of other stuff to do. when we give the dogs jobs that drains the brain and muscles and fullfills the social needs (working as a pack besides contact) and also have quit time (laying for naps together with us and alone). not easy but then it is good not to castrate them because the hormones are also important for good bone density which becomes important when they get old. but i have to admit that in germany there are almost no stray dogs so it is much easier to have intact dogs (about 50% of the dogs i guess) than in countries with stray dogs.
It is actually good to wait up to at least a year, I believe and then bone density is not an issue, while spaying/neutering can reduce the risk of complications and cancers.
@@TheBaumcm cancers in females for example do not go down but move. if the female is castrated the mammal cancer is of lower risk - but this one can be seen and treated well. it then moves to higher risk of cancer in inner organs - which will in most cases be seen too late. and bone density is an issue in the whole life because bones rebuilt all the time. but ih human females for example osteoporosis is an issue after menopause. and as menopause in women (biological women) lowers their sexual hormones significantly same happens in dogs after castration. there is much more in modern research. but this is not the place for teaching. only for those who are interested to have an impulse to do their own research.
Wow, I'm surprised they would allow a wolfdog at a dog park. I know for a fact it's illegal in some places to take your wolfdog places off of your property, but I'm surprised it's allowed some places. Your dog is so well trained! I know a malinois must he a handful.
Ronin bud she was a pretty girl that liked you! Lol. Reminds of a friend he had a female pet coyote and she fell deeply in love with another guys pet wolf and he wanted nothing to do with her at all, but she never stopped trying, he was the alpha male she had her eyes on, probably the same here, she saw Ronin was the dominant male around.
Wolves have much better nonverbal communication skills than dogs. She’s play bowing and trying to get him to play with her, is showing submission by licking his mouth when she met him.
I theorize that dogs have strong sense to deter wich animal is good and wich one is wild. Dogs like german shepperds and malinois before they became police and military dogs were used in livestock guard and herding purpouses so they had big contact with the wolves. Wolves generally are different build, their tail is perfectly lined with legs, ears are almost connected and have bigger and wider Jaws than that of the dogs. I keep old breed of balkan dogs called sarplaninac and im not taking them to park beacuse they are highly agressive towards other dogs apart from their breed or other guardian dogs (kangal, anatolian, caucasian, tornjak, great pyreneese ect), i have a secret place right below the canyon with field and small forest where any wild animal hardly crosses with river so they have full activity there, known to bring entire pack of 7 there, but mostly only three dogs.
Like to see if your dog would be interested in showing submission... As my 150lb male kangal is friendly as heck, but does NOT accept dominance. And why should he....lol Ps. Kangals have the (by far) strongest bite force in the dog kingdom. Mastiff=450=500 Kangal= over 750

Her owner could tell her to "go get" one of the kids or the husband, never failed to come back with that family member. She would also leave the toddler and kindergartner with just the "dog" on the playground confident they were safe. We were in Germany and at the time (on an Army post) there were enough hostile gunshots I would not with my own kids strong dog or not.
Collies crossbreeds (had a collie, retriever, shepherd, super mutt) tend to have the people pleasing, voice command, part of the collie. They are also exceptionally smart. We could tell her, when we were in an open field and the lab got too far and pretended to be unable to hear us, to go round her up and bring her, and she’d go run circles around her and check her back to us, even though she’d never been trained. Also, with wolf dogs,as I understand it, you never know quite what the personality impact will be.
Awesome
Ronin ain’t no simp😂
LMAOO
Wolf is so beautiful, how not to be in love
I'm sad Ronin didn't wanna be friends with that beautiful wolfdog. Maybe he'll change his mind in the future. 🥹 He's a good boy, afterall.
It’s because the Wolfdog was scared, she was very nervous! Wolf-dogs are skittish breeds
Poor Ronin. His brain is telling him something is wrong and this one aint no puppy ;)
Having owned a Malinois before and currently a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, I can say from first hand knowledge and experience they have a switch that flips and when it does they are all business. It's not their size, it's their intelligence, determination, focus, and ability. I would not want to be on the wrong end of a Malinois. All the more reason it is crucial to socialize and train them to keep them from being too dangerous for civilians to have. There are definite reasons why the military and law enforcement use these dogs above most others including the German Shepherd.
I see your Blegum has the same behaviors as my Czech Sheppard!
I actually have nightmares about encountering a Wolf-Malinois mix... Malin-Wolf... Yeah, that's the stuff of nightmares right there.
I am here for the explanations. They are very good!
Great video, nice to see. Good training with Ronin, freedom under responsability :D
1:42 I would note that she didn’t like the dog, the one that did not like Ronin running up on her when she was about to drink, one of the most vulnerable positions for any animal. That might be why Ronin was annoyed, almost like a “don’t involve me in your shenanigans, and she goes low when he stands up straight to show her issue wasn’t with him.
Hi 5 months per year I am usually fishing after work, are wolf hybrids generally independent to the point that they are ok with seeing owners only a few hours per day?
Your Malinois looks exactly like my Anatolian/Malinois cross. My pup has true double dew claws of the Anatolian and the curled tail. Same coloring, same legginess…mine has white front boots.
Dogs free running is so good for them
You posted that on my birthday😂😁
i want to rescue a wolf dog so bad. she's so beautiful omg
Just be careful of what you're getting into. They can be very difficult - can be! If you've never had a large dog before go with something more manageable for you to learn and practice training every day. Good luck, they are beautiful!
I once met a half Arctic Wolf at a sanctuary when I was in my early teens, he had black fur (his dad was a gray/timber wolf) and his name was Fluffy, his mother (arctic wolf) was there as well with her new mate (gray wolf)
That was nice interaction!
Bro' can you tell me which cam are you using on Ronin and in your hand plssss...
I always love watching your videos they teach me a lot about K9 behavior. Would you ever get a wolf dog if you had the chance?
She's adorable and was trynna make friend's loll😊
(Edit) she was very gentle and friendly
I really like your videos. Do you think you could regularly upload videos please? I would love to see how Ronin is doing now and the rest of the pack. I really like your information on canine communication. It's a great informative learning to all dog owners. Thanks!
I saw a Wolf and lots of Dogs💁🐾
1:14 is that balto? /j lol
Its such huge off leash dog park where tou ride bike?
There’s a 110 acre off leash dog park near where I’m at!
there is a very beautyfull wolfdog in my neighbourhood too well raised and really calm. unfortunate for me i got my Malinois very traumitized by other dogs and i was too young and inexperienced to socialize her. se will turn 13 this year so bit too late but im picking up some good info from your channel for my next dog thaanks for the awesome content
Great video! I want to see more of the owner
Sorry, he's still in training! Lol
1:09 holy cow their beautiful
The wolfdog is our Okami Shojo. She is a wonderful 3yo now.
She looks exactly like my dog. My girl is the puppy of a ~90% wolf and a 100% husky. Looks just like her and acts the same. Tail tuck and evasive maneuvers too 😂
the wolf dog just wanted to play
I have two pitbull/husky mix. I still working on there recall. The boy is good but my female has a high prey drive. I am very much still working on both of them
This was very interesting. We just adopted a year and half old husky. Trying to train sit seems next to impossible! 😊❤️🙏🏼🐕
Keep it away from dog parks. Worst place you can take any dog is a dog park
Move your focus to Downs and Down+Stay. It’s easier to get distance away from and move around with the dog Down. Sitting it’s easier for some dogs to be tempted to break because two legs are already up. As soon as your dog masters the concept of Stay in Down revisit Sits +Stay and you should have better results. Don’t forget Stand-Stay too!
@@LeashMechanic Thanks for the advice makes total sense!
Awesome videos
You have a very intelligent BM there!!guess he knows/ smells any dog that could pose him a problem ?
Great video tho 😊
My Belgium Mal/German Shepherd mix was well trained who we were gifted her when she was too gentle for her police training program. But she was not socialized. Your ideas have been invaluable in reading her signals. She is very sensitive so just overly stern verbal correction of NO or AHH AHH AHH makes her soo sad and avoiding eye contact and physical closeness after more than a year. So, we incorporated dog signals into our behavior to lighten the mood and get her to understand play behavior. It has worked wonderfully.she has gone from protectively growling and guarding her immediate family to being able to be approached and petted by strangers while in sit and enjoying repeat attention from people she recognizes from dog trail. She is starting to find dog friends when off leash in open dog park area who like to chase also. In our own yard, while off leash she will take her own sit and then she will watch but not chase all the rabbits, birds, squirrels because we are next to her. Then she sniffs their trails like crazy once we free her self imposed sit. We are s lucky to have her.
Videos, not ideas to read dog signals.
Mate your commands of that dog have got to have more seriousness inflected into it, especially when he ignores you on the first command. It's got to be a firm NO followed with a stern HERE.
friends, it's "Berger Malinois" or "Belgian Shepherd" but not "Belgian Malinois"
My young unknown mix rescue acts the same way as this wolf dog, she looks the same too, other than being an almost traditional german shepherd color. She's very skittish, yet very protective of me. Doesn't do great at the dog park and seems afraid of all the dogs there. She plays well with our other rescue who is smaller, but older and a bit more of a jerk. She's a great dog, but I'm thinking she comes from a GSD and wolf. She has those long legs that are close together, and a tiny skull like most wolfs.
Can someone help me i have a intact dog but whenever she sees someone walking or just anyone overall shell just run at them how do i train her to not
Sounds like she needs a lesson on impulse control. You can research on that or get her a trainer. I won't give advise coz my dog also has issues with impulse control and I haven't managed to get her to a place where I can trust her. Can't have the blind leading the blind lol 😅
@@dianadelcastillo1896 idk bro my dogs kinda like slow cuz shes inbred.
We’d need to know more about her breed because that would determine, to an extent, her triggers, motivations, and “preferred jobs”. For example, our doxie mix has always loved burrowing and we often wondering how he can breathe under layers of covers and is quite stubborn and difficult to train. Our collie, shepherd mix, liked to run perimeter checks at night, never slept in the bed with us, was prey driven and kept everything out of her yard but couldn’t care less out and about, wanted nothing more than to be pet for hours, and would “check in” mostly by staring at me with her head on the bed until I woke up😂. Our lab was a couch potato who was extremely food motivated. Our little guy likes to be active in short bursts, chasing the hose, fetch or swimming, with lots of sleeping but could not be off leash. The lab liked to walk or swim, slowly 😂 and her nose would detour her if off leash, but she was incredibly smart and we had to start spelling her favorite words until she learned to spell and we had to speak in code😂. The collie mix, hated getting wet, would run circles in the yard by herself just to burn off energy, rest for 15 then be ready to go again, and was easily voice command able, no leash required.
The reason is doxies are bred to be ratters and go into burrows, independently. They are often stubborn. Labs are swimmers to pull nets, and retrievers to flush and retrieve waterfowl, so they have a soft mouth and have to be obedient. Collies are bred to work with humans and be high energy but also commendable from a distance. Shepherds and collies are both perimeter protectors. So, knowing the breed(s) will help.
You also need to learn her body posture. There will be cues for alertness (ears up, chest up), that you can correct before she takes off, with a sharp tug on the leash then immediate release. You can also tap them near their neck, open hand like a mouth, because that is what a dog would do. It might also depend on age. Good luck!
1:30 No, that's wrong, but I knew you would say that about a wolf. Here the tail means submissiveness and immediately turns into calmness because your dog is a bit dominant and imposing, but still grounded. If she was scared, her tail would be stick to her belly.
A dog's body language wouldn't really be any different here, just a bit more confused, a wolf's is much clearer. A dog's straigt drooping tail doesn't mean fear, it means submissiveness or insecurity.
Fear always expresses itself in the same way: As with us men - everything that stands out is drawn inwards. That's why we call it in Germany "den Schwanz einziehen" - Which means as much as “pull in the tail”. Every man knows what I'm talking about😉.
Very cool!
You seem to be a genius. Are you animal psychologist?
An interesting thing I noticed is that some dogs treat wolf dogs just like any other dog, while other dogs almost seem to treat them like different animals, either with wariness or even fear, and in a few cases, some dogs show actual predator prey responses when interacting with fully grown wolf dogs. I wonder if it's Instinctual, since wolves do kill and suppress feral dogs in the wild to reduce competition and eliminate potential threats to their pups.
Thankfully he is intact, as the vet would love to get another dog neutered or spyied,
so they would be welcome to come back more often for lifetime treatments and probably more surgeries.
You need to straighten the handlebars on your bike... for sure a beautiful wolfdog though...
Wolf dogs are excellent at social behavior, love to see them join other dogs in dog parks and get the pack life they need❤
in germany we have lots and lots of intact dogs. i have a cocker 4 times a week - in the beginning he was mounting all the time but as i gave him more work to do (lots of sniffing games, not only movement. sniffing uses the brain a lot) and quite a lot of interaction between me and him during the walk he was mounting much less without needing many more corrections. stray dogs are intact and don't mount all the time because they have a lot of other stuff to do. when we give the dogs jobs that drains the brain and muscles and fullfills the social needs (working as a pack besides contact) and also have quit time (laying for naps together with us and alone). not easy but then it is good not to castrate them because the hormones are also important for good bone density which becomes important when they get old. but i have to admit that in germany there are almost no stray dogs so it is much easier to have intact dogs (about 50% of the dogs i guess) than in countries with stray dogs.
It is actually good to wait up to at least a year, I believe and then bone density is not an issue, while spaying/neutering can reduce the risk of complications and cancers.
@@TheBaumcm cancers in females for example do not go down but move. if the female is castrated the mammal cancer is of lower risk - but this one can be seen and treated well. it then moves to higher risk of cancer in inner organs - which will in most cases be seen too late. and bone density is an issue in the whole life because bones rebuilt all the time. but ih human females for example osteoporosis is an issue after menopause. and as menopause in women (biological women) lowers their sexual hormones significantly same happens in dogs after castration. there is much more in modern research. but this is not the place for teaching. only for those who are interested to have an impulse to do their own research.
4:04 what did he sayyyy 😭😭😭
Fuck that
@AvishBoodram Adults swear- it’s not a big deal
I'm surprised you still have fingers the way you extend them toward a strange dog like that.
Wow, I'm surprised they would allow a wolfdog at a dog park. I know for a fact it's illegal in some places to take your wolfdog places off of your property, but I'm surprised it's allowed some places. Your dog is so well trained! I know a malinois must he a handful.
Ronin bud she was a pretty girl that liked you! Lol. Reminds of a friend he had a female pet coyote and she fell deeply in love with another guys pet wolf and he wanted nothing to do with her at all, but she never stopped trying, he was the alpha male she had her eyes on, probably the same here, she saw Ronin was the dominant male around.
Ronin is so big 😮
Why don't get him fixed?!
I have a german shep who’s an ex police dog, he once met a wolf dog and a fight almost started😭
Yep. Intact dogs are can be *immensely* stubborn. Especially when the hormones are acting up.
Wolves have much better nonverbal communication skills than dogs. She’s play bowing and trying to get him to play with her, is showing submission by licking his mouth when she met him.
wish my dog would be like ronin and not be tempted to chase squirrels lol
I theorize that dogs have strong sense to deter wich animal is good and wich one is wild. Dogs like german shepperds and malinois before they became police and military dogs were used in livestock guard and herding purpouses so they had big contact with the wolves. Wolves generally are different build, their tail is perfectly lined with legs, ears are almost connected and have bigger and wider Jaws than that of the dogs. I keep old breed of balkan dogs called sarplaninac and im not taking them to park beacuse they are highly agressive towards other dogs apart from their breed or other guardian dogs (kangal, anatolian, caucasian, tornjak, great pyreneese ect), i have a secret place right below the canyon with field and small forest where any wild animal hardly crosses with river so they have full activity there, known to bring entire pack of 7 there, but mostly only three dogs.
Like to see if your dog would be interested in showing submission...
As my 150lb male kangal is friendly as heck, but does NOT accept dominance.
And why should he....lol
Ps. Kangals have the (by far) strongest bite force in the dog kingdom.
Mastiff=450=500
Kangal= over 750
