- Опубліковано 8 тра 2024
- My Newfoundland puppy named Bear was attacked last week at the dog park and I wanted to share with you the story because it truly scared me. After the incident, I went home and looked into what is the proper protocol if two dogs fight or if a dog attacks you.
This is the first of my Wednesday checkup series where I can feel free to chat with you guys and cover some interesting and timely topics.
In this video, I explained the best ways on how to stop a dog fight and what to do if a dog is to suddenly attack you.

"My dog doesn't like big dogs".
WELL going to a dog park sounds like a great idea.
Well didn't he say that the dog pulled her into the park? Not the other way round.
@@kingeddiam2543 Okay you should not own a dog that you can't control enough to walk. He meant the dog was in the lead pulling if she turned around and walked away from the dog park the dog would go with her. If he wouldn't she should have not walked by it. Thus it was probably her intention to take him there espically since she let him off the leash.
@@finnsnow2495 Okay thanks for clarification
My dog is a whippet x Bedlington terrier and has a super high prey drive. Therefore dog parks are not a good idea and so we take him to the normal dog-friendly park where there are squirrels for him to chase and occasionally a dog for him to play in a controlled situation. Also, I live in England where there are no dog parks and plenty of squirrels.
If a dog starts coming at me don't be mad when it gets killed.
Lady: “Help! Get a doctor!”
Mike: “What can I do?”
Lady: “Get a doctor!”
Mike:
Sophocles SHOUTS!!!!!! 😂😂😂
Go see your doctor 😁
Sounds like karen 😂
Mike: am I a joke to u
Sophocles I kind of thought of the same thing
Dr. Mike: “Sensitive areas”
Me: My genitals
Dr Mike: Your face and neck
Me: *oh*
same i didnt think about that till he said lmaoo
same
True
I thought like my stomach, a lot of organs and no bones to protect :D
It’s sad thinking about hurting a dog, but you got to do what you got to do. 😐
their animals that are unpredictable and sometimes don't recognize their own strength.
Yeah
@@pragyasingh2297definitely
As a shelter worker, this is one of the first things I tell new hires. No one wants to do it, but when it comes down to it you have to defend yourself and others. We run our local animal control and I have witnessed multiple fights, broken up multiple fights, and been bitten twice myself while breaking up fights.
Tip: Don't take your dog to a dog park if you can't control it
Owners have to be trained too.
So true I've seen so many people that go to public places like dog parks with their dog but cant control it
@@MsSemki some lady bring her baby in to an enclosed area with 100+ pound dogs. Me:???
And what should be a starting point for the owners? I personaly can’t control my dog so I don’t take him out. Fortunetly, I live in a house so he has enought space to run. But I would like to go with him on a mountain. Where should I start? With me is as sweet as sugar, but when a stranger is around.. not rly...
Yes, this is the main reason I don't take any of my dogs to places where there are other dogs I don't know. I trust mine, but I don't trust the other owners and dogs. Thankfully, I live in a house with a big yard for my crew to run and play happily, but I know others who are not so lucky or live in a city and dog parks are a must.
Any dog: Attacks bear
Everyone: Oh shi-
Bear: I’m about to end nothing about this dog, I’m a gentle giant :)
I have a newfie and I can confirm they are completely gentle! You are very correct 😉
@@koko_minss3132 So are goldens typically. Never base a breed by it's breed. like all living creatures they're their own entity with their own distinct personality. Like all things it comes down to how they were raised and cared for.
Remember how mike said that yelling makes the dog more agressive? Well. What if the retriever hears that all the time
I watched a video that said stick your finger up it's bum to stop it from attacking you... 😂😂
If mike trained him to be a guard dog...
Owners who can't control their dog(s) are really frustrating. I remember an incident from when I was a teenager. My and my friends were playing football(soccer) in a fenced off area of AstroTurf. There was a hole in the fence and a big dog came running in and picked up the football in its mouth. My friend who owned a dog went over to try and get the ball back. Suddenly the owner came through the fence and shouted "careful, she bites". This negligent owner was walking a dog near a kids park with no lead, no muzzle and absolutely no verbal control. The AstroTurf was full of small children and I shiver when I think of what could have happened
I grew up with dogs and my dogs have been in dog fights before. The first step is actually always be aware of the dog’s behavior, so you can intervene as soon as possible to avoid any possible injuries. The next tip I learned this one from my dad and it helped me before. When a dog bites you, not a cat, a dog bites you on your arm, pushed your arm towards the bite. It might hurt you a little bit more, but it will hurt the dog too and they will want to let go.
Sometimes not.
That's not a good advice you might have permanent damage
Well the instinct is to pull where you're risking shredding and losing chunks because the teeth are likely still clamped. Pushing into the bite forces the teeth inward which is unnatural and does promote release. Similar advice when it comes to people biting you.. in any case mouths are bacteria ridden and disinfecting immediately is highly recommended.
bear: * is basically the size of dr Mike *
dr Mike: THE PUPPY
Lollllll

"You really need to see a doctor" says the doctor 😂 sorry I thought that line was funny
Me, too.
Same!
Carla Sneeden yeah I know right I thought that too
I thought so too!
I was also expecting him to say to her, "By the way, I'm a doctor." LOL
Omg true ahah
My dog was attacked twice in her life besides being a very friendly, peaceful and most of all antisocial dog (not antisocial meaning she’d try to get away from other dogs, she just didn’t seek them out). Both of those attacks happened completely unprovoked and sadly were handled very badly by the owners of the other dogs involved. I was present for one of them and I was alone with my dog in the evening taking her out for her evening bathroom break. At the time I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. As we made our way around the block another dog came up to us, his owner kinda dragging behind not really paying much attention. My dog showed that she didn’t really seem to feel comfortable about this dog getting close to her and I put her on the side of me that was opposite to where the other dog was and my approach was to just keep walking normally and pass this dog. My sog was still uneasy though and she had a UTI at the time so she stopped to pee every few metres. While she was peeing this other dog ran up to her and started to get in her space in a very demanding way. She warned him with a growl and moved to get away from him, but before I could shorten her leash and walk away, the other dog had her by the ear and was yanking her around. Thankfully he got off her when his owner yelled at him and yanked on his long leash but I was there crying because my dog had blood squirting everywhere from her ear (ears are very vascular so that’s normal but still scary) and she was hiding behind me whimpering with this dog still trying to come at her. The other owner just said sorry and dragged her dog off like nothing happened.
My dog was fine I don’t think she even needed sutures, but she wouldn’t walk that route anymore for weeks and thinking back, I find it really disgusting of the other owner to just walk away from the crying child and the bleeding dog that her dog had just torn open for no reason. She said sorry but not even like she meant it, it was more like the sorry you say to someone when you accidentally bump into them.
Am 8 the only one who read all of that but anyways people are sometimes jerks and need t9 train their dogs better I’m sorry that happened but at least it hadn’t gotten too bad
@@1nkognito303 thanks! Yes it turned out ok but that doesn't make what happened ok
@@luziel3071 I completely agree. the other owner should have helped you make the bleeding on your dog stop and helped you get your dog at least in front of the vet.
I am so sorry you had to go through that as a young kid (yes, 13/14 is young!). Did you tell your parents? Was an attempt ever made to contact the other dog owner, if they were regular neighbors? I know this is hard, because you and your dog are kind of traumatized at the time and it is hard to think straight. I remember once as a young teen I was riding my bike and I was hit by a car suddenly running into me from out of nowhere. I was a little hurt, but my bike was TOTALLED. Plus I think I hurt my front teeth. I went home and my parents were really upset and worried and asked me a zillion questions about the driver and car. I was just so traumatized and felt bad about the bike as if it were my fault and it wasn't. Thankfully, it was just a bike, but your pup - I would have been destroyed.
@@jbjacobs9514 thanks! I called my mom right when it happened so she could take our dog to the vet. My mom also later went to confront the owner of the other dog and they said sorry but nothing more ever happened and I didn't see them again. I was mainly scared for my dog at the time but she was fine after. I don't think she even needed stitches so I was ok when I knew she was ok!❤️
Today, a celebrity (in Norway) newfoundland dog died. He was soo goofy and had a great personality. Made many people laugh 😊 Made me think of Bear. Hope he's okay and having the best life 🙏
Lol I just realized dr.mike was wearing a shirt that said papa bear
You can see the Russian influence
Raya 101 Lol exactly
I brought my golden retriever to a dog park once.
He ended up rolling in mud.
See, now there is the normal and expected retriever response in a dog park! 😂
Lol
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
Same! My pup is black and white and came home brown XD
Typical
Thank you 🙏 me and my friend were just chased and stared down by a staffie and literally the only reason we weren't seriously harmed was because I remembered what you said in this video
Thanks for sharing. We’ve been lucky so far. We’ve had a few incidents at the dog park so we’ve pretty much stopped going, but most of our bad experiences have been within two blocks of our home with dogs whose owners’ believe leashes are animal abuse or believe that their dog would never hurt another dog. It’s made my PTSD so much worse when I’m just trying to take my service dog out on a walk and I have to protect him from other dogs.
Stubborn injured person: "I don't want to see a doctor."
Dr. Mike: "I have some news that might upset you..."
Lol.
I'm glad he didn't only because she may have sued him thinking he has deep pockets. 🙂
I doubt she didn't wanna go because of her injuries, but because she didn't want focus on the dog.
It was a reaction to a traumatic situation: the avoidance of distressing memories, saying that "Everything is OK, I don't need help" etc.
Paweł Szałek You’re right because I have a broken leg (unfortunately) and when I broke it I didn’t want to go to the hospital. ☹️
A golden that poorly trained shouldn't be brought to a dog park
Agreed. You can walk them by to help correct their bad reactions but shouldnt be brought in.
that is what it sounds like
Overhaul that ok but if u can’t control your dog then maybe not take your dog to a dog park
We brought my dog to a dog park , and as soon as we saw that he was showing even a few signs of aggression we left because we didn't want any animals or humans getting hurt. You have to take responsibility for your own pet if your dog is being aggressive leave before something bad happens, just have common sense
NO dog should be brought to a dog park if they're not well behaved or insecure around other dogs
My dog got bit before too ☹🥺
Thank you for staying positive!
Even tho this video is old, this is my first time watching it. You have a lot of amazing info here. I really appreciate the research you did in order to make this video and that you acknowledged that you did research
I love Bear. He seems so mellow. I enjoy all of your videos, but when Bear makes an appearance, my heart melts. Please let him gueststar more.
Lol
He is so adorable
CUTENESSES
bear is like doug glatt from goon nice but mean somehow
I clicked for bear. Had a puppy I called bear, he wasn't mine though lol. He was cute and fluffy
I nearly cried when you mentioned the girl said “its me” to her dog
I know! My HEART!!!!! I couldn’t take it. That lady loved her dog, and now he just bites her with no second thoughts?! I can’t imagine something like that happening with my dog, it would break my heart.
She should have known more about her dog and generally dogs her dog doesn't like other dogs and she brings it to the dog park?? I mean I don't even know what to say she endangered herself other people other peoples dogs and her dog... She is Just stupid and unresponsible
@@BlackMamba-xn2jr she didn't say her dog doesn't like other dogs, she said her dog doesn't like GIANT DOG or BIG DOG like Bear
@@candacemarfil3149 Big dogs, small dogs doesn't matter it was not friendly towards other dogs
this happened to my brother a year ago and it really hurt because my brother has autism and he trusted our old dog
A dog attacked his own owner. He must be traumatized. I wonder what happened to that dog. So glad Bear wasn’t injured. Hope the dog mom is okay too ❤
My only requests to Dr. Mike:
1) Your videos are very good and informative and it really comes in handy at the right time.
2) Pleaseeeee..... make more videos with bear (your dog is soooo cuteeee I just wanna hug him right now).
Thank you once again Dr. Mike.
Her : I don't need a doctor.
Me : I'm a doctor
Bazzer25 ME XD
Her: *runs away*
Bet she said it so there will be no report that her dog bite her and attacked another dog.
Hope Mike called the cops because her dog need to be checked and tested if he would do it again.
Bazzer25 omg I just realized what this meant 😂
Her:I dont need a doctor
Mike: Am a doctor
Her: Well then...... AM DYING!!!
That's alarming behavior for a golden. Yes, they're hyper dogs and prey driven like other dogs, but they're also not prone to attacking their owners in the fashion you described. heartbreaking situation.
You would be surprised at how "aggressive" some goldens can be. Most are very nice, and either lazy or super energetic. As a vet tech I can tell you that some of the worst injuries we've had have been from a golden.
But yes: that is a very alarming behavior from a golden, and not at all normal.
I was thinking the same that's not normal for golden
Wes Moran we have to remember energetic breeds can become aggressive when not exercised properly, I would put my money on it’s not getting enough exercise.
Goldens are like the 4th most bitey dogs
That is because owner was probably doing something so when it was trying to stop it that dog felt threatened in many different ways
Great video! Having 5 dogs at home, this video can really help! Bear is on of the cutest dogs I’ve ever seen, make him star more!
Great information and video!! More videos with you and Bear.
Y'all are a team.
also always make sure to yell "SQUARE UP" when fighting a dog so it knows its a fist fight and not to use mouths
I'm dying
Lmao what??
OMG 😂😂
LOL this comment wins!
Were you high making this comment or are you always like this
I’m training to be a dog behaviourist and I can see what triggered the Goldie by going off what Dr. Mike described...
Unconfident and nervous owner takes her nervous dog to a dog park.
Goldie is scared of big dogs and Mum scared of her dog going near them.
Goldie’s stress hormones rise when he sees Bear and he tries to suss out if Bear is a threat to him and Mum.
Goldies mum runs over in a huge panic and pushes her dog away from what the Goldie already sees as a possible threat.
All this does is makes the Goldie think that Bear is in fact a huge threat and that Mum (who should be trying to reassure him that there is no need to worry) is extremely scared of Bear too.
Goldie wants to protect itself and worried owner and this makes his adrenaline levels rise even more.
When a dog’s fight or flight hormone kicks in, the dog doesn’t understand or think about what it is doing. All is knows is that it needs to survive.
When the Goldie was attacking it’s owner, it did not intend on hurting her. This story is very sad as the poor dog was so stressed out that it lost all sense of what it was doing and ended up hurting the very woman that it was trying to protect.
The best thing the owner could have done, was carried on as if she was not at all worried, and calmly praised her dog for being close to Bear.
Dogs pick up on owners nerves and this is very often what makes a dog attack another. Confidence is key.
It’s the owner that needs training here, not the dog.
Perfectly said! I couldn’t agree more! Its honestly sad, because now people are going to say ‘that dog is dangerous’, when really its the owner who needs to learn how to handle dogs :(
That makes sense, thanks for the tips on how to avoid things like dog fights! =)
Huh. Owner needs training.
AND THE DOG. Best way is to make training a game.
@@veralenora7368 make training a game? 🤔
I'm quessing she means a training game like "look at that". The goal is to boost the dogs confidence and reduce stress when something scary happens.
Thank you so much for telling us how to protect yourself or stop a dog fight i have a lot of dogs in the neighborhood so this might be helpful some day
Thank you for helping everyone out and thanks for the advice
when it comes to chihuahuas fighting, just pick one them up and there we go, problem solved
😂
Or you could simply 'shh' them😂😂 jkjk
If you pick up a mad chihuahua its gonna bite the shit out of you. Just because they are small does not mean that they dont pose a threat.
Eh I think that's a joke
@@andreabesserman7741 yeah they can be but this can work if you keep the dog at arms length
As someone who works in veterinary medicine and has to handle aggressive animals daily. Including seeing injuries from dog fights, I agree 100% with everything in this video. Plus bonus tip, if you don't have great control over your dog and/ or know it can be aggressive, DO NOT TAKE IT TO A DOG PARK!!! And always keep you pet on a leash in public spaces
I let my dog off leash in dog parks but have the leash in hand and follow her closely . I can’t stand owners at the dog park who aren’t paying any attention to their dog and playing on their phone .
I agree and I was trying to read the replies and disliked this srryyy I didn’t mean to
@Miranda yes. Dogs are pack animals and feed off the energy of those around them. If they have already attacked once I would steer clear of them. It is always the owners responsibility to ensure their pets do not cause harm to others, whether human or animals. If you keep having problems I would recommend calling the non emergency police line or animals control and ask them what your options are in this case. The options vary depending on where you live. Stay safe.
@@thebestthingstowatch I was wondering, my dog is 2 years now and is a very playful hyper dog! its very friendly to us and our family! but when it was younger it would get growled at and have harsh play fights with much bigger dogs! do you think this could have caused my dog to become very protective and now barks at smaller dogs? it has also become very aggressive when play fighting!!! I would appreciate your feedback!!
@@kelseyks4230 I'm sorry to be blunt but it sounds like your not facing reality. You can't say your dog is not aggressive and also say that it tries to attack/ intimidate other dogs. It cannot be both, and regardless of the reason your dog may have to try and intimidate other dogs, taking it to a dog park where you will have NO control over your pet and the safety of those around you is irresponsible. I understand not wanting to face the reality that something that you think of as part of the family could be dangerous, but burying your head in the sand is no way to deal with it. If you want to train your dog how to socialize with other animals I would recommend contacting a animal behavior specialist. They can help guide you in training and socializing your pet in a controlled environment. Again, I'm not intending to be rude but I have encountered too many pet parents over the years that refuse to accept their pet could harm someone or something. I have also been injured too many times because owners refuse to tell the staff their pet may try to bite for certain procedures. Denial will only result in others getting hurt. Your pet may be a part of your family, but like with all families there must be rules, boundaries and consequences for breaking the rules. If you live in Arizona then I would recommend Dr. moffet at the Mesa animal hospital. She is a board certified veterinarian and animal behavior specialist. She's usually booked out three months in advance but she does fantastic work with behavior modifications.
OMGoodness; Bear is soooo adorable! 😍 He looks so smooshable and cuddly! I just wanna hug him! 🤗🐶
I don't think people realize how effective being firm and saying No works.
I've had several times when one of my neighbors dogs got loose, it works most times.
*”I WAS SHOOK”*

Today my puppy was attacked by another big dog. My puppy was yelling like I’ve never heard before, and after the shock of the situation, my instinct kicked in and remembered this video. I grabbed the rear legs of the attacking dog and my husband and I were able to redirect his attention and get him away from our puppy.
I saved my puppy with this clear and really well made video, whose information got in my brain so well that they came back to the surface in a moment of crisis. Thank you Dr Mike, thank you thank you thank you. You really helped me today, and it’s not even through a human medicine related video!
I very similar situation happened to me, I have a very small dog, that likes to act tuff when he is not. So we were watching this big dog for a friend, her and my dog were playing. Then the big dog started to bother my dog in some way, causing him to growl, so the big dog lunged. My dog made this awful noise it just triggered me. I shoved my rist at the dogs throat to stop it from biting my dog, grabbed my dog, the big dog bit my rist, When I grabbed my dog the big dog was chasing me still trying to attack him. I just ran the second after I got bit to my room and slammed my door. Then checked if he hurt my dog. It was scary the dog isn’t a bad dog, just big dogs sometimes get too hyper.
thats great i hope ur puppy was okay
I have two dogs, both one year old each. One of my dogs is dog reactive, and doesn't get along well with other dogs, but we still bring both to the dog park. They are Heeler/staffy mixes. If a dog attacks one of my dogs too harshly, the other comes in and teams up against the attacking dog and drives it away. Eventually, the fight dissipates and they go their separate ways. And, If my dogs are the one who starts it, I grab their hind legs and practically drag them away. I am never alone when I go, I always have my older sister or older brother come with me.
Stay safe
@@Madison-rosewhy would you put your WRIST in its mouth
Bro so true and I feel bad for you, the lady and Bear because that is something no dog owner wants to experience
Usually I don’t like to hurt dogs and I never want to be in mikes situation but if I have to do it I Will ty for being a great creator Mike
Hey guys, I'm a Canine behavior specialist amd Veterinary student! I can answer any questions on this topic!
To start off, this dog attacked as a result of a fear response. Very irresponsible of the owner to not remove her dog from a situation she knew was uncomfortable for her dog.
So this Golden at the park showed what's classically called displacement behaviour. Displacement behaviour, if you don't know already is a redirect of the aggression. What this means is that when this fight broke out, and their owner went in for the collar, they immediately moved to defend themselves assuming that her hand was, in fact, Bear.
If you've ever gotten into a fight and had your adrenaline kick in, you'll know what I mean when I say the dog was so amped up, they didn't realize what they were attacking anymore and just continued to assault the owner.
Dr. Mike, you nailed everything in regards to how to seperate a dog fight. Never put yourself in the middle! When dogs fight they become what we call a "twister" which means they turn around in circles when they're engaged with another dog. Stay out of the way and do the wheelbarrow if loud sharp noises don't work. Same thing for dog attacks! Protect your vitals and fight back if you need to but DO NOT RUN and do not go to the ground if you can avoid it.
@@janareisten767 Good question!Unfortunately, this happens a lot. Sometimes, an owner sees their dog as perfect and can do no wrong and they make excuses for their dogs inappropriate behavior. The best thing you can do in a situation like this is to remove your dog from the situation as best as you can, and definitely walk your dog on a leash. Leashes aren't just for controlling your dogs course on a walk. A leash gives you the ability to control a situation like this.
Ultimately, it's up to the other owner to control her dog, and it's up to you to protect yours and make them comfortable. Take your dog and try to walk them away. You can also make a loud noise to scare the other dog off.
Great product I recommend for any dog owner is called a Pet Convincer. It's a little device that uses a small CO2 cannister to make a loud hissing sound when you pull the trigger. It has a safety on it too so you don't spray it by mistake! Works as an excellent deterrent :)
@@mtlpackman8419 Thank you very much. This was quite helpful.
Why does my dog attack other dogs who act vulnerable even if these don't even look at my dog?
I have a question.
It is a good defence method agaisnt a dog attack to wrap a piece of cloth around your forearm and let the dog bite it?

As veterinary nurse, all you're saying is absolutely true. You should never and I mean NEVER pull on the leash when your dog is fighting another dog, because he's going to redirect his anger on you or on someone else who is close to you and you don't want that.
To me, & I could be wrong, but if my dog came back at me that means my dog has no respect for me & thinks they are higher in the pecking order. & that means time for some additional training
Ben, the issue isn't that they think they're stronger than you, it's that they're hunting and combat animals. Dogs are wild when they get into fight modes, and the way they process information changes, just like with people. Red mist descends and until they realize that there's no threat, they typically won't recognize what is and isn't 'friendly' to them. If your dog attacks you because you tried to break up a fight, it didn't see you as the pack leader, it saw you as someone else trying to fight.
When your dog is in an aggressive state and you step up and grab your dog it basically gives the confidence to initiate an attack. I have a husky and normally some “fights” he gets into are normally solved without any biting just a few growls and submission but the best way is you have both owners seize control of their dog and separate them and wait until they are in a calm and submissive before let back out.
Actually, you are applying more pressure which is the straw on the camel's back. Especially if you are nervous.
Yeah my daughter worked for years at the shelter. Always said best way to break up a dog fight is one person get behind one dog, another behind the other. At same time, lift their hind legs up. She said it disorients them and they let go. Her shelter kept about 200 pitties at a time so she was used to handling big strong dogs. Most of the times they were very sweet and never fought though.
I clicked on this video at the end of another video and was like "who the heck is this?!". It took me a few moments to notice that this video was made 4 years ago 😂

Another thing that is very important for reactive or aggressive dogs that would do that is to get training. This can help dogs in SOO many ways.

Me: She already is
But as the owner of the other dog he would have a conflict of interest.

I want to thank you from Russia, you've just saved my dog's life. 40 minutes ago he was attacked by rottweiler. On adrenaline, and because I remember your tips, I grabbed this dog by his back legs and pulled up, while it's owner was beating it in head(prettyuseless). My pup has just one small injury, and his one leg hurts, but not broken. We are very lucky to have you and your wonderful channel. Thanks from my little spitz Tima too
i was shook when i listened to that thx for giving us good advise
Sounds like this dog should not have even been brought to the dog park. Seems like there are more issues than just big dogs to this golden.
In the posted rules in my dog park it does contain a "must have control over the dog at all times" caveat. But it's also posted that you're supposed to clean up pet poo and there are certainly people that don't follow that one.
Exactly. They have rules for that sort of thing. She was just asking for a confrontation. Dr Mike would have every legal recourse to sue her for any damages that happened to bear and she’d be liable because she had no control on her dog, one and two, because she knew he had thing against bigger dogs. She willing knew it and did it anyways.
There's always people that will try to use dog parks as socialization for their dogs. The dog needs to be well socialized before coming to the park. But unfortunately, unpredictable dogs are to be expected at the park.
Jordan Oakley yea that sucks when that happens because of careless and clueless owners.
Maybe she was a new dog owner and simply didn't think her dog was a problem. I'm getting a puppy soon and these are things I'm need to learn before I get one. At the same time a little common sense will go a long way, sounds like she let it off the lead and she shouldn't have.
proof that any dog can be aggressive in the right situation regardless of breed
Yes, any dog can be aggressive depending on the situation but there's no doubt that some breeds are really problematic like pitbulls. I speak for experience.
@@AlexMartinez-dc4pe I really don't think that it's the aggression of the breed that's an issue with most traditional fighting dogs, it's the effectiveness of their attacks when they do get aggressive. Little things like Chihuahuas are some of the most aggressive dogs I've seen, but very unlikely to hurt you. Most of the sweetest dogs I know are bully breeds but I am aware that it only takes one time for a usually sweet and snuggly pitbull to snap and it can kill a person. It's all about understanding that animals are animals and taking precautions.
Any animal is aggressive in the right situation. Call a random American a cunt a few times and see what happens. They are quite touchy about that word.
If only more people could understand that. Every dog has it's own personality just like humans. And if not properly socialized ANY breed of dog can an will become aggressive.
@@Goldenheart_345 you are aware that pitbulls are dogs bred for their violent tenancies right? They exist solely from pit fighting. The strongest, most violent, most insane survived to be bred. The rest, not so much.
ty for the advice my family has always adopted harmful dogs so this is good to know
good information for how to avoid injury
Bleeding from face, head, and arm, *"I don't need to go to the hospital for this. "* Really? Lol
yeah it sounded like she was trying to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal but it obviously was. lol
I think she was in shock at that moment ... It must be weird to have your own dog doing that. I would be in shock if it was me.
‘Merica
Serenity113 in all fairness she was in shock from what happened so I understand that reaction
Plus you gotta remember Dr.mike got a bias when it comes to visiting a hospital. He IS a doctor after all.
Im a licensed veterinary technician-golden retrievers, just like any other breed, can be mentally unstable. I once witnessed a golden bite off a veterinarians ear. No joke. Just because a dog is a certain breed sometimes makes people think that it will not be aggressive. It’s always dog dependent, not breed dependent. Know the body language. Know the warning signs, and stay safe. Good video, my friend ❤️ snuggle that pup for me!
I'm really glad someone called this out!
I've always wondered why ppl think it's okay to stereotype dog breeds but not humans... honestly think it's more valid the other way round, lol.
I agree! I have interacted with lots of Golden Retrievers at my job (dog boarding facility), and I was so surprised when I encountered one who was aggressive toward me and the other staff when we had him do something he didn’t want to do (like go back in his room). It was like like he’s never been corrected in his life!
This is really interesting I just kind of assumed all golden retrievers were placid!
Yes, great advice. It's about the dog and its body language, not the breed. Just because it's a golden retriever, doesn't mean that you just let your guard down.
Thank you so much for making this video mike. Thank you so much. My dog was ina fight with a pitbull and he passed away because of it. I wasn’t the one walking him, my parnet was. They didn’t know what to do so they watched the dog brutally kill the dog. They didn’t do anything nor did they know anything!! So thank you! I feel prepared
OMG, that's crazy! Hope the lady is OK now, and Bear :))
Dog Tip: Don’t take your dog to the dog park if you know you won’t be able to control it
Them* dogs are not a object
@@jolie7090 Aren't they a object under the law.
Or if you know yours is bad with certain types of other dogs! Dog park scuffles can turn into half the dog park genuinely fighting, best not risk that.
@@cczsus6513 yea they're considered a thing as they showed me in school
Unless they’re young but make sure they are vaccinated if they are around other dogs when they are young it is better for them and they become more social
i stuck my hands in a dog fight a few years back. i had over 75 puncture wounds, permanent nerve damage in both hands, scarring, and a broken hand. DON'T STICK YOUR HANDS IN A DOG FIGHT! YOU WILL LOSE!
That's highly unfortunate.
o h.
I feel sorry for that
@@huaiqingsun460 thank you!
@@megawarriorii5948 yes it was lol
thanks for the info. Blessingd to Roxy!
Hey Mike love the video, in a way lol. Im a dog trainer and people drastically underestimate the seriousness of any altercations with dogs of any size so i really appreciate someone of your reach teaching not only about the dangers, but also how to properly handle a situation. One thing i will say is when doing the wheelbarrow, move straight backwards and not left or right. Moving left or right makes it very easy for the dog to turn its head in your direction and react but also its very easy to trip especially with that much adrenaline going. Moving straight back puts distance between the dogs, keeps you as for from a bite as possible, and still forces the dog to actively disengage.
In 7 years, my dog has bitten me once: he was gagging and when I tried to swipe for whatever was in his mouth, his teeth came down in my hand.
He felt so bad about it that he hid in the corner of the back yard for several hours. It broke my heart.
Our dog did that too when my dad tried to do something very similar.
He made it to 15 without ever biting anyone again. Never bit a dog either.
I had to do that when I took my pup for a walk and he picked up a discarded rib bone, I stuck my hand into his mouth and he chomped down leaving my hand numb for a bit.
Awwww
AAAWWW poor dog. And it was probably just reflex that made him do it.
Aww that's like when you accidentally punch someone
Doctor Mike: “I’ve seen dogs get into fights many times, it just happens. Dogs are animals”
Me: “I’ve seen people get into fights many times, it just happens. People are animals”
I mean, by definition people are animals sooo.
ABSOLUTELY!
@TexMechs if you are one how do you act like it?
@@nukrisamyurashvili3021 they mean like a savage beast or wwild animal. We are all animals but humans are the dominant species
@TexMechs I think that was his point.

@@pnkprinc3ss it called 'heart' since whenever you get a notification of a comment, it will be highlighted.
As a veterinary student who's personally broken up several dog fights, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. However, I also want to point out (not addressed) is when a dog has another dog in their mouth, lift them by the scruff of the neck STRAIGHT UP until their front legs are off the floor. Why? It does several things; surprises the dog, so they're no longer in that aggressive mindset, second it makes them unable to turn and bite you. Have one person wait to catch the animal that the dog has in his mouth when he/she drops it (it make take 10-30 seconds) and then separate them and of course tend to needs.
If you're pinning a dog down the most important part is to pin the head. You may need several people to help because some dogs, while not very large, can be extremely strong (ie. german shepherds), in one case I had, we needed FOUR people to restrain one german shepherd. He was THAT STRONG. So just keep in mind that restraining the head may not be the best option if you're alone with a medium-large breed dog.
Firebird my friend has a jack Russell and it's very friendly it loves meeting new dogs! It would never hurt you! Despite its size it is an extremely strong dog!! You can see just looking at it the muscle in its legs the shoulder area is very strong!! He's a very nice dog but can be a bit bold sometimes😂😂not in a bad way of course! Also I really want to do veterinary when I grow up!!
The most important thing to remember is to never think that a dog "would never hurt you". Dogs are sweet, I love them. But they can be unpredictable, or at least hard to understand. I'm not saying that people have to be afraid of dogs, but they should always take precautions, so the dog does not feel threaten.
What happens if you just throw ice cold water on a dog?
As a former vet student, that pinching the back of the neck doesn't work for every types of dogs, but it sure does to the cats. Do you notice how mommy cats carry their kittens? They bite the back of the kitten's neck taming them
And chow chow could be too aggressive too, you wouldn't have time to hold them by their neck cause they're too fast when they are aggressive af
The advice on what to do about a dog attacking you is really good! I had an off leash aggressive dog come up to me and I was alone at night. I love dogs and have loads of experience with them and I've never been scared of them but I was 100% scared at that time. But I did exactly what dr Mike said ( this was before I watched this video I know a lot about dogs so I already knew this) and the dog stood stiffly next to me for a while until it lost interest and walked off. If I had tried to run it would have attacked me. I tried to walk slowly at one point but it barked and lunged so I didn't try again. If I had looked in its eyes in sure it would attack me. This is really important info!
Please have Bear and Roxy in more videos! I love to see cute puppys at the end of the day.
Doctor mike" don't run from the dog the dogs faster"

*brings blanket when walking my dog*
just random things Throwing water at them can also break up a dog fight. If you take a water bottle with you, that will work.
Kristen Nat who doesn’t bring water bottles when going on a walk
Cylexen yeah I get that, but why would you not bring a water bottle on a walk? I mean I get if it’s a short walk and it’s just to get your dog(s) out of the house then maybe you don’t necessarily need a water bottle, but still why?
@@kristennat6601 I bring a spray bottle, works 100% of the time in my experience.
@@severablegibbon well In the cold winter you really dont need water to cool you down
Yikes!! Scary. Thank you
Love the shirt!!! Amazing info! YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!And Bear you are absolutely beautiful!!!!💙
Why in the hell would she bring her dog to the dog park knowing it doesn't like other dogs? Sounds like that dog has some SERIOUS aggression issues.
I completely agree, maybe the dog felt unsafe since his or her owner brought them to an area that they weren't 100% comfortable with.
I have a German Shepherd and Husky mix, she isn't a big fan at making friends so I adove big crews of dogs because I know she will feel threatened
I think she said her dog didn't like other big dogs like Bear. Probably played well with smaller dogs
It might have attacked her before and never been reported.
The fact that she thought she didn't need to go to the hospital does also suggest that (ie, she's used to it).
It's a redirection bite. Equivalent of being in a fight and punching someone who grabs you from behind. Dog was overstimulated and she added a catalyst.
As a fighter pilot I am in dogfights a lot, so the advice with the blanket really helps. Thank you for the missiles I did not have to waste.
Lol
So.... your throw the blankets to the enemy’s cockpit window lol
@@BlitzkriegTechno nah, ram the plane into the enemies nose
Also if a blanket doesn't work or you don't have one, a well timed water bucket aimed at their head should stop a dogfight as well.
About a year ago my two dogs wouldn't stop fighting so I kept pouring the water they drink from on their head. It worked every time I did it right.

I love Bear! I have owned many Newfoundlands and they are the THE BEST dogs with such gentle and sweet personalities!
My cousin as a dog and it always attacks me.Thanks for sharing this info
You can tell Bear is well looked after.. look at the shiny fur!!
To me he still has a little puppy face! He's gonn grow until about 18 months and end up around 150 lbs!
Bear just looks like the sweetest baby playing with the other pups! I think he’s a crowd favorite anywhere!😉
Newfies are very gentle dogs! They're the babysitter dog! Also, Nana from Peter Pan was a Newfoundland dog :)
Bear is adorable ❤I love your videos they make my day happier!😊
Aww Bear so sweet. I just love him. A real teddy bear.❤️❤️
I can imagine this horror, once my dog literally saved my life from another dog, who was wondering on the streets, and attacked us for no appearent reason. They fought, mine was trying to stay between me and the other while still on leash, and I had no idea what to do, nobody was around... Thank God my dog is way smarter than me, he saved both of us, without even a scratch.
@@cheezyballs4631 bruh ur an idiot, he said don’t run. They have an instinct to chase what’s running.
Ok I'll just stand up and let this bite tf outta me
I should've stated this more clearly,
I mean run for help while the fight is going on
Smh
@@cheezyballs4631 oh my god wth. She’s going to let her dog fight, not caring. Just so she won’t have a small mark? That would make a terrible dog owner and person, how dare you suggest this. Like they said, none of them got a scratch as well!
@@cheezyballs4631 well the other dog of he/she could defeat hers, then come and tear the owner apart.
Just stand the ground. You are 2 and he/she is 1, you scare them. If u run then probably the streetdog will kill both
Throw water on the attacker. It saved two dogs in two different attacks. The dog gets surprised and lets the 'prey' go. Yes, more of Bear 🐶 pls! 😊
Not with my dogs water just pisses them off
@@damonjohnson3469 i think throwing the blanket is a very good strategy, it's a good strategy on aggresive drunk people also. Worst case scenario is you choking them to death lol. Victory! Nah just kidding.
@@auniquehandle all my dogs are large a blanket will keep us from seeing them for my very large dogs i throw firecrackers near them to separate them then chase the aggressor off with a shovel or broon handle
AlphaWolf 127 throwing firecrackers isn't ideal. I recommend grabbing the scruff and getting control of the head.
AlphaWolf, I throw a big metal coffee can with quarters and bolts inside it between my two akitas (mother and son) if a squabble escalates too much. The noise of the can crashing right by them is usually enough to derail an argument. :-)
As for using water... it worked once with a friend's border collie (to break up a fight with a pushy lab).
But when my sister's two German Shepherds got into a fight, they were oblivious to the hose. I started off squirting their heads - no dice. I ended up turning the hose so it was blasting full force in the agressor's nose and down the throat... and it made no difference for what was the longest minute of my life, during which, some pretty good damage was done to the victim dog. But if you are trying to break up a fight on your own, using a hose or a blanket may be your only choice, as the wheelbarrow move only controls one of the dogs. So don't use it unless you can drag one of the dogs into another room and slam a door shut between them.
I love your videos when ever i get the phone i feel searching doctor mike i realy
thank you for these suggestions and information i kinda have a strange like animal alert or a feeling like something is strange or might happen i don’t i sometimes think i have animal instincts inside me

1) Grooming Vlog- A day at the groomers.
2) A day in a life- Bear Edition ( like how u did with husky)
3) Bear Training Vlog
Nice ideas
those ideas were in my head few minutes ago, and yes, hopefully he will cover those.
Bear is such a gentle giant. I love how Dr. Mike is wearing the Papa Bear shirt too. 😂
Very useful video, thank you!
This is VERY Useful! I have two puppies and they (rarely) fight sometimes! Ive gotten screatch breaking them apart. It wasnt too bad (because their puppies) but it hurt quite a bit, so this is great information!
