Absolutely. Dogs don't lie, people do. Rehome the husband. Puppies are friendly loving little lives that are warm and affectionate to all.... Unless.... Something negative happened to them by that person. At the very least he clearly had no interest in the dog as a puppy, was clearly cold towards it upon arrival and then wonders why the dog is not interested in him.
@@Sly_Wolf_1 absolutely untrue, sometimes a dog can just dislike a person, maybe he reminds her of someone who hurt her, but assuming hes abused her is sick of you. dont pretend you know more than you do, and dont make assumptions about people.
@@BensonCope No, that's where you're wrong. When buying a healthy socialised desensitised puppy it has no reason not to like a person. It would be different had the family taken on a rescue with an unknown chequered history, but they didn't, they got a puppy! So why would he remind them of a person who had previously hurt her? They brought home a puppy without issues. Dogs make great family additions, whilst they will generally favour one specific person more within the family unit, they will however take to all of them. Saying something negative happened does not infer animal abuse as you claim I have said. You clearly know very little. Just giving a dog the cold shoulder alone, especially during it's formative puppy stages can render them less likely to want to interact with that person. It is clear from the video that this man is not as excited by the dog or as emotionally expressive as the other other family members, the way he talks to it lacks emotion, fun or excitement, he simply doesn't seem to warm to it. Being that dogs are social creatures it's only natural for it to desire being with those that are more affectionate, more fun, provide more happy, exciting and stimulating interaction. I have 46yrs years experience owning my own dogs, training working dogs for general purpose and detection, along with just general domestic obedience. You accuse me of making assumptions and yet make uneducated assumptions or claim to know my experience or knowledge. Yes a dog can simply dislike or distrust a person, my dogs are great judges of character, however despite their training they are very social, but they will meet and have met people whom they just don't like. I trust their instincts as they pick up on micro expressions and signals that as evolved humans we don't pick up on, we just do not use primitive instincts anymore and are generally focused on other things, not whether an average normal persons has good or bad intentions. I have yet to experience a healthy, desensitised, socialised puppy that doesn't crave attention. I have had puppies who have not had the greatest start in life from bad breeders, and rescues too. Nervous of people, frightened by new experiences etc, all eventually respond to kindness, affection, mental stimulation and slow exposure to life's "scary" things. They have grown to be loyal trustworthy dogs. Experience is telling this dog to stay away, something it learnt from puppyhood.
@@Sly_Wolf_1 this is funny, you DID imply abuse, just like many others in the comments. you went on to agree with me that dogs can simply dislike people based on body language, and social cues they pick up on. Saying that the father should be “rehomed” as a response to them providing the same option about the dog is disgusting, not everyone has to be generally fond of dogs, should he make an effort? of course, however if the father is an anxious person, on the spectrum, or experienced some trauma in the past (im not saying that he is) that impacts how he connects with people and animals then claiming that the father is doing something wrong is stupid, some people just aren’t suited to have pets. most of this is speculation on the half of everyone saying similar things in the comments. im not claiming to have the answers, im simply stating that making assumptions and judgements about this household and their dog is stupid. what if they got the dog and the dad was too busy to spend time with the dog at first, and as it acclimated to everyone else it hadn’t to the father, causing them to avoid each other like we see in the video, he could’ve and shouldve made an effort sooner but things dont always work out the best. the only reason im making these assumptions is because people making assumptions that the dad had been doing something downright evil need to see that there are millions of ways and reasons for this to be happening. if you really didn’t mean to imply he has abused the dog i apologize, but ive seen many comments doing so and all the “…”, “… unless… something negative happened to her from that person.”
I got my first dog when I was only 18 years old. It was just her and me in our home. She was great with women and children but didn't like men. My guess is she was being very protective of me. When I met my husband to be, if he didn't love dogs, he would not had been my husband to be LOL My dog got use to him and he was the only man that she would ever let pat her. She lived to be almost 18 years old. A really great dog!
My puppy took to my partner straight away, he was the one that cuddled her and I was the monster who trained her, who fed cleaned walked and got her through all those puppy and "teenage" problems. I stuck through it all relentlessly. Perhaps it's I didn't want to get attatched because of my dog dying just 5 months previously and the gentle nature of my partner who'd let her get away with murder. After about a year or so, she knew how to be a fairly good dog, but I had to train my partner who'd let her jump all over him, the scratching him, play biting etc was getting out of control, I came to the realisation that she didn't love me like she loves him, but respected me more, for Gods sake she was even humping him, so I put my foot down on his behaviour and hers towards him. Now 2 years old I have a well behaved chilled out small terrier, still daddies girl in many respects, but me and her adore eachother too. I cannot believe how long the hard work lasted but with such good rewards. I have looked at so many dog training programmes and UA-cam videos in the last 2 years every hour has been worth it's price in gold, I found this guy is among the top trainers.❤
I have the same experience with my dog. My mom spoils her and whenever my dog sees my mom she’s over the moon which feels unfair but she respects me more than my mom bc I trained her 😂
@@CableAnna like kids (and some men, friends and relatives) you have to show them the right way. I did expect a bit of a time as she is jack russell and patterdale mix, but honestly I've had strangers remarking how good she is. I still love all dogs though, even when they're a bit naughtyx
What I would like to know is whether Graham was there when they picked out this dog because I think that could have made the difference. I do compliment him for his patience, I would have looked for another home a long time ago.
Not right. Dogs behave like dogs. In another video there was a golden retriever jumping and barking at bins, boxes and pillars when his owner was walking him. There was a problem with the dog and not with objects
Sounds like he was quite apathetic to having a dog so they didn't bond. Probably was a bit ambivalent towards her. May even be that dad does the discipline and she doesn't like seeing him get confrontational with her favorites when he is bigger than them.
My human instincts & observation of his body language had my alarm bells ringing. Could be wrong but he seems artificial to some degree. Clearly took issue when Graham told him to smile. Could possibly be abusive to the dog when the rest of the family isn't around.
What rubbish. I think the poor man is just blessed with a stern face. It took one of my rescue dogs 3 months to have a bar of my other half - now she worships the ground he walks on. We think she was abused by a big tall man with a beard, which my other half is. It's hard to unravel what triggers doggie responses. Patience, patience, patience.
@@FirehorseG Maybe he's autistic (or otherwise neurodivergent)? They don't perform the face masquerade NTs usually put on display to coax people. That does not mean they're unfriendly or uninterested, it only means they don't play the masquerade game. Nothing more, nothing less.
@FirehorseG he is frustrated with the dog. The rest of the family were doing the wrong thing. He probably wasn't there at the original bonding. Often people adopt on school holidays.
This dude is a hack. He has actual dog trainers show him what they would do to train the dog, then he just copies that for the show to seem like he know anything about dog training. Also it’s clear that he cannot read dog body language at all. Even when the dog is wide eyed and panting, he thinks she’s relaxed??
this is two fold . one dogs are never wrong about why or who they don't like but in this case the wife and the kids are not disciplining the dog when he goes against the father . The dog may be trying to protect the mother and kids and gets rewarded for this by them giving affection . the dog must be shown that he cannot hold a higher position in the pack than the father. Now, the father is also part of the problem as he feels rejected by his own family when they show affection for the dog and exudes negativity towards the dog creating a vicious circle . but the dog above all else must be shown his place in the pack as being lower than the father
Zelmslang very true comment I am a professional working with animals an animal will not run from you and bark with a look of fear in his eyes for no reason why him only? and not the others if he could talk he could tell you why? but he has already every body is entitled to an opinion but to be called names for having one is sheer ignorance as from some of the comments trainer comes to house gives the dog a treat and hey presto magic dig loves man ? not happening so you are right TRUST your dog
Is this a prank? Does that family seriously not know the basics of owning dogs? First thing I'd do is get him to feed it treata, after I have worked out what he did to her in the first place.
The dad doesn't want to be cut off from his family because of a dog. Not selfish at all. And he has paid for Graham to help. Your comment is unkind and untrue.
REHOMING!!! This is a nice family who are struggling and not "getting rid of" the dog. They clearly want to keep her but have to consider that she could possibly be better off in a different environment. I suppose you want the husband "put down". Don't put words in their mouths - they said REHOMING.
Wow. Poor dad. I'd be kinda pissed. More than sad.
The perfect example of inadvertently rewarding the behaviour you don't want. Well done Graham!
yes like it needs an outsider looking in
Graham really cares and is blessed with being able to understand the dogs as well as the owners behavior.
Such an intelligent and caring man

Seeing the pride in his face when Laya succeeded on the dog course shows they're gonna do just fine.

Crazy how this much progress can happen in a day
how many dogs have been rehomed just for being misunderstood
Far too many. I have two of them. They are my perfect angels and have given me over ten years of love.

What a lovely dog Maya
A happy dog looks different. At the end of the video, you can also see that the dog is still afraid of the father.
I agree. This is something that started right from day one, the father was the only one that didn't want to have a dog, and I think the dog knew that.
Probably just needed some time to readjust to him is all, with consistence she'll learn he's ok after all.
Love this series so much ❤

Lovely family,and wow with grahams help what a turn around,really lovely to see
Absolutely love Graeme - he's magic with helping owners with their dogs!
Nothing quite like watching Graeme work his magic to set my eye washers working.
Sometimes a dog might pick up on illness
lovely dog
Graham's just the best
I’m glad it’s working out for him. She is a adorable dog
Dogs usually sense things!
Awesome ❤
Laya is gorgeous!

Smart dog...🤣hahaha !
He makes me cry great job ✅👍
I’m surprised Graham doesn’t use the obstacle course more with the border collies that are stuck in a house. They’re much happier doing something.
Maybe doggy knew daddy didn’t want him and the others did ! I’d Chuck the Dad out . Keep beautiful doggy
Maybe they should rehome the dad 😂😂
Leia is so darn cute.
not every dog that is scared of men or women was abused by a man or woman at some point.
Gotta love Graeme! He's everything a dog trainer should be. And not abusive like Cesar..
Cesar is not abusive
It'd be interesting to see how Graham does with dogs Cesar is asked to deal with.
Ooh! Dog doesn’t like him! That’s a shame and it is rude!!
Yor clips are lovely but if you will not moderate your coment section you should turn it off. Not just allow wild speculations.
Keep the dog, dump the man. lol I’m serious. When dogs do that there is something wrong with the person. I don’t trust anyone my dogs don’t like.
Not right. Dogs behave like dogs. In another video there was a golden retriever jumping and barking at bins, boxes and pillars when his owner was walking him. There was a problem with the dog and not with objects
Gentle friend 46
Possible she was hurt by a male in her previous home
Could they have not worked that out for themselves?
No. People are thick. Especially about animals, sadly. (I work in animal welfare)
i feel the same, did he ever try anything to get the dog to like him lol like no wonder
They are rewarding the dogs bad behavior 😮!!! Want a dog?, learn dog behavior!
Looks like the dog doesn’t like dad very much
Watch the whole video
@@dshe8637 Wise words.
I wonder if the dad over disciplined the dog when she did naughty things when she was younger. Dogs will avoid people who have hurt them in the past.
Sounds like he was quite apathetic to having a dog so they didn't bond. Probably was a bit ambivalent towards her. May even be that dad does the discipline and she doesn't like seeing him get confrontational with her favorites when he is bigger than them.
Maybe the dad is busy working, providing food for the family and for the dog. No time and desire to bond with a dog after a hard working day

Dog don't like him, did he hurt the dog at some stage? He is not saying....
He responded oddly. Is he a nice guy? He seems so disinterested and unfriendly toward the dog.

No he wasn't at all. He's a nice guy. Some man might have scared her in the past. He's kind from what I see.
One minute in and I'm guessing..History! Frightened of men, been hurt by a man.
