It’s in the breeding (military grade) Malinois were bread to not back down. I have one and she’s the same way, I just say she’s fine until F-ed with, but if they draw her blood then all bets are off.
I have a belguim male .He's the same way .Very friendly with everyone including other dogs .But if violence is shown by anybody ,he corrects the potential assailants very quickly.Hes 11 years old now ,we go everywhere together.
@@dajourdixon5567 probably for the best, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with intense breeds, they can be a handful. I joking call my Malinois a jackal! Lol! DSD? That short for Dutch Shepard?
i love how often your boy gives the side of his face to other dogs, he just really doesnt want any beef, and for an intact boy he's very tolerant of other dogs being dominant around him and his pack
Not wanting to tell you what to do, but still be careful because a leashed dog is much more on the defensive since they can’t run away. If multiple dogs come at them while they’re leashed they might attack to protect themselves
Oh my goodness! You've updated! I honestly enjoy watching your videos because they are very informative about dog behavior and very entertaining to watch as well. I love Canela and your other dogs. Honestly, people can be so irresponsible when it comes to properly training and teaching their dogs what not to do. Keep up the good work.
This is why I stopped going to dog parks, people don't take responsibility for their dog's behaviors. Majority of owners don't have a damn clue about dog behavior either. Enjoy your videos and breaking down of dog behavior, it could help so many people.
I ran into a guy that said "train your dog then" while my dog was overwelmed on a trail and his dog aproched and didnt leave till he did and he was like 12 feet away and he didnt even call his dog away while my dog freaked out as I tryed to stop her from biting...yeah people really don't know when to remove their dogs from a situation, my dog had recently been attacked by a dog on a trail too, and I was taking appropriate action, all other dogs have right of way to walk by before she does I stick myself between her and other dogs but do people listen? No...I even called out "shes not friendly" which means usually "your dogs gonna end in a bloody mess if you don't keep them away or on a leash" the area hsd rules if a dog was to be off leash, 1 a dog must obay commands given by owner 2 dog must not harrass or behave improperly 3 dog must not approach dogs or people and stay by their owners Dude had not followed any of those rules, and I would have kicked the dog if I could, like we said stay away from us, that means we will get aggressive too! We don't care! Like what the Fuck is someone gonna do on a trail of they say are alergic/scared of dogs? Because ive seen dogs on on leash only trails be off leash!
@@-touya_todoroki 100% People think that dogs inherently know proper social behavior, it is all learned behavior. Socialization is KEY and just dumping your dog into the dog park is not a recipe for success. Dogs needs boundaries, direction, security, and a leader. I've seen all kinds of dogs and dog owners at dog parks, and the pandemic has made these places much worse. People just need to take the time to learn how much responsibility a dog is and how important dog language is.
@@ptbruiser2243 dogs don’t learn how to over come aggression by staying home genius. There are a lot of people with uncontrolled “friendly” dogs that are always running at large in parks, and on trails. That’s a great way to lose a dog on a trail too, dog takes off after a coyote, wolf, bear, moose, or even a large Buck could spell certain doom, what if your trail is on open range and there a herd of cattle with Texas long horns around a blind corner, they can/will Gore a grizzly bear, what the hell you think they gonna do to your dog? .. use your bloody head and think fool!
@@ptbruiser2243 also it was only rulea for offleash (signs say follow rules or put on a leash) on leash the only rule is keep your dogs away from each other period, that's why theres a rule that offleash dogs must stay by their owner/not going up to others as owners with dogs on leash can only go so far when the other dog has free rein
You, sir, deserve much more subscribers! This is the best behavior reading I have ever seen. You even explain each interactions and altercations in great detail. Keep up the good work and videos coming!
Great observations. We can all learn from their behavior. We have a 3 year old Golden and a 6 month Healer/Beagle mix. Both great and loving dogs. The Golden is about done playing games though and has had to put Healer in her place many times. They still love to play together, do everything together but Healer gets so very excited doing anything at all.
I have a very friendly 10 year old 140 pound husky lab. We used to take him to breweries all the time. About 3 years ago while we were walking a small dog ran up and bit him on the face. He snapped back in defense and took about 5 tables and everyone's drinks with him. Owners cursed and tried to blame us. 0 accountability after watching their dog bite another one. Could have easily killed him.
That heeler looked like he might have had a little chow or husky or something in him. One day he's going to try to take on one of those pit-types I saw walking around, and they might instruct him in polite dog etiquette.
Ronins temperament reminds me so much of my husky/shepherd mix Apollo, super friendly, no aggressiveness or dominant behavior........until tested!. Well done Ronin for standing your ground.
These are such fascinating videos. Most dog owners just don’t know or understand dog language. It doesn’t make them bad or irresponsible owners. They just don’t speak dog. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with viewers and I’m looking forward to seeing more.
Some of these interacts are actually adorable- my favourite being when the pitbull came up to ronan and there was tension, and then the black dogs comes to see what the drama is about 😂 such a human like behaviour
This is an EXCELLENT video on reading your dog and other dogs body language. It is imperative that we learn this folks to prevent fights and god forbid injuries before they happen. The owner of the heeler was in the wrong. And i commend you for not saying anything to him because i certainly would have. I cannot stand owners like this who think this behavior is funny and playful. It can turn DEADLY SERIOUS on a dime. I scolded an owner of a German Shepard the other day while in my park. Because it was off lead and charged me and my Jack Russell. Granted my Jack is VERY dominant and can hold his own but not against a dog the size of a Shepard. I had to put myself in front of his dog who was trying to get around me and at my dog. I happen to carry a walking/hiking stick that has a steel circular tip on the end laced with "shark like" points. I told them man straight out you either leash you dog or it's going to get jabbed. He knew i was serious and finally leashed his dog. However, the point is it shouldn't have to come to that. And more people need to be respectful of others that have smaller dogs etc...Their is no doubt if his dog had lunged at my dog i would have struck it with my pole in it's head or eye. And that wouldn't have been a pretty outcome. I will do ANYTHING to defend my companion. As i know he's not big enough to handle it himself.
ive seen a few videos so far, but i think the hate comments are because "intact" male dogs do cause other dogs to have bigger problems than they otherwise would have. even a "decently" trained dog can become a mess when pushed into feeling uncomfortable/threatened by a dog donning cajones. Because many of these videos feature an un-nuetered ronin in a dog park with dogs who are more likely to have a problem with him (whether hes a good boy or not most of the times), People have a problem. im fairly neutral on the matter. i do enjoy the insight and breakdown of the behavior, but i also see what might be a pattern. there are more like to be issues because ronin is intact. I wont say "dont take him to dogparks" because that's cruel. but at the same time...when your channel's thrives off of these kinds of conflicts and breaking them down, it make you wonder....
i'm not sure where you stand on dog training methods but to me this just proves that humans cant use that "i have to dominate my dog with brute force and pin him down for him to respect me" type of training. with dogs there are so many subtle signs of communications! so many combinations of warnings and expressions of mood before getting physical. all humans can really do is escalate to like level 3 communication with dogs and stand over them or get physical too fast in the dog world, we would be typical "dog park bullies" in their minds. this helped me see it all together now. imagine being a dog and not seeing any "proper" warning signs from your owner and then being "nipped" out of nowhere or full-on hit/ pushed. the dog is left confused and insecure! Thank you for these videos. extremely eye opening and changes dog ownership in my mind.
That's why I don't go to dog parks. Too many around in one place when not on leashes is a bad idea. They can gang up quickly, particularly when they are raised by irresponsible owners. Some people use their dogs as an extension of their bullying behavior. If they behaved constantly like that in public, like they did back in my HS, they know they could get arrested. So, get a dog to do it for your entertainment.
Thank you I’m going to keep watching this over and over because of your knowledge of dogs. Thank you. I have an Australian shepherd. Living in the country people drop off cats and dogs, with that being said we inherited a a cattle dog. He is tenacious and my Aussie works at keeping him in line. What an interesting video. My Aussie is the thinker and pleaser, and our rescue cattle dog mix feels he’s the enforcer.I will say he does want to please us so when we correct him he is submissive.
Not a big story but when I was reading you comment it give me a wee glow... I lost my kelpie a couple of month ago and when you said about your rescue cattle dog feeling he's the "enforcer". Amber (kelpie) wasn't interested in any dog... just wanted to work... I was out one day and there was a rottweiler.. the biggest head I ever seen... his name was Milo... and 9 months old... and the two of them became the best pals. If there was any trouble in the park Milo would be there to break up any trouble.. he would be the enforcer.... and Amber would be there as back up if required... not that Amber was ever required. Once the trouble is over and they walk away.... Milo and Amber walking together.... and Amber would turn around with a couple of barks at he dog who started the trouble... saying "don't let it happen again!". Maybe she wasn't... once you get to know you dog... it's like you know what there saying... and vesa vesa.. they know ever word you say... 😂😂
@@johnw6389 I’m very sorry for your loss. The wonderful gifts of animals are they teach us so much and respect/love unconditional. I’m glad you got to witness a friendship Amber finally hand picked. I’m still learning about who my dogs are and how amazing they can grow to be more intelligent as I grow in intelligence and awareness to making a better pack. You are blessed by Amber and I’m sure she is still by your side faithfully.
I seriously love your videos. I’ve learned so much and appreciate how you pause and point out all the different body language signals that most of us never notice. It’s made me feel more confident when my own dog interacts with other dogs. I’m now aware that every growl is not going to escalate into a fight and such warnings shouldn’t be disciplined because they are actually the way dogs communicate to one another to avoid escalation. Thanks again for all the shared knowledge and for showing the correct way to handle socialization . ( people generally need more training than the dogs do.) 😅.
Yo bro. Only just discovered your channel but you have taught me so much already. I appreciate the good work and I hope to have such a loyal dog like Ronin some day
I want my 5 month old cockapoo to get familiar with other dogs but just watching this video makes me so nervous. Ronin is such a good playful boy and still get's into scuffles. Not to mention, he's a pretty big boy and dogs still test him, lol.
I wouldn't recommend to socialize your pup with dogs from strangers. Ask around for a stable dog with with a balanced demenor and socialize your pup with those. It's better he has a few positive experiences than a bad one. People can't read their dog and don't care if their dog behaves bad. It's especially dangerous if you have a small dog.
@Crystal F if you're nervous your dog will be nervous. Also, I'd caution you with your dogo being very young. Instincts to "protect him, pick him up" etc would be normal but could lead to disaster at a dog park. Check your community, you may find puppy play groups. Smaller, supervised play time with same age pups 🐕🐾💙
Perhaps the best and most safe way to socialize a puppy (or any dog) is just desensitizing them to every day stuff! Teaching a young pup to just peacefully co-exist with/near people and other dogs and is just so handy and can prevent many cases of reactivity:) And, just like the other comments said, avoid dog parks and find someone with a stable, tolerant dog and watch the interactions very closely!
@emily sayswords Thank you. I'm trying to teach him how to calm himself down when he sees new people and other pets now. He's such a friendly little nugget and wants to run up and kiss everyone, but of course, not everyone likes that. I'm kind of nervous taking such a big part that makes him so loveable away, but he for sure needs to be desensitized lol 😆 😅
What a fantastic boy, Ronin!! I feel sorry for the Aussie mix (it's not a Heeler mix. They aren't Merle and that dog doesn't look Heeler to me at all) because obviously his owner is a total asshat and the poor dog is nervous because he has no boundaries 😢 Your video is amazing and so helpful! Thank you for pausing to show the different Dog body language and explaining what it means! I hope more people watch and learn to pay attention! So many issues could be avoided if people just knew what their dogs were saying
The fact you interjected after Ronin stood his ground, shows the owner type you are (a good one), where as Heeler mix owner just stood on by and didn't even seem remotely bothered.
I love your vlogs they actually teach me more stuff i should know about dogs because i own 1 myself shes 1 year old and she also has puppies and im trying to teach them! ❤
Alternative title : Belgian Malinois teacher Blue Heeler some long-overdue lessons in civility. Alternative alternative title : Introduction to World Politics - Canine version
Hate when ppl just laugh when their dog is being an asshole. I have a small intact cavalier. The most friendly dog in the world imo. When he gets thrown through the air by big aggressive dog and the owner thinks it’s funny I get some nasty thoughts.
I hate it when people with dogs have 0 understanding about their behaviour. I mean Ronin show a lot of restraint. The other dog would have gotten attacked a lot quicker by a whole lot of other dogs. The control you have over him is really something tho.
Ronin is a good boy 🐾 so much control 🙌 he did what he needed to do but this video just shows how many other dog owners just don't give a shit!! Unfortunately this happens to my husky and GSD and they get blamed for defending themselves even though they're on leash getting attacked by off leash dog's!!
@@jg7923 No. My feelings are based on my experiences, not the media's. And a good pittie owner recognizes that there's a lot of bad pittie owners out there. As there are among all breeds and all dog owners.
I wouldn’t discount healers, they go face to face with big bulls all day long and win. That guy should have never let that dog get to that point. Healers are part dingo and can be very aggressive for their size and weight.
Orange guy at 4:30 looked more intrigued by the camera but didn't like how ronin immediately got in his face? The orange dog for sure could of just came over to try and assert himself too, but when he walked away after the minor confrontation I feel like he didn't *want* an issue perhaps. I notice ronin is extremely pushy and maybe thats because he's a confident dog, but I do really like how the owner is aware of this and actually checks his dog
@@thescurry You don’t know your dogs, do you? Heelers were bred to bite cattle in the back legs HARD. They have a bite force ranging from 200-400 PSI. Malinois are around 200.
I have two Chinese cresteds, they know they have no chance lmao. They don't start shit with other dogs. That being said... my rats are the only small dogs I like 😂
Yep. Large part of the reason the dog continues to act this way is because the owner bails them out last second. They allow the posturing and dominance but interfere right as a fight breaks out - otherwise the dog would have learned its lesson by now.
Ronin is a true alpha. Senses when other dogs are uncomfortable and chooses when to soften. But once a dog displays they are unfriendly he is unphased and pays them no mind, knowing he can easily defend himself, then ignores them. Love to see it. True confidence. 5:00 Walks right back up to him strong and confident but with space.
You have done amazing work with Ronin .. he is a beautiful dog and well behaved .. dog parks are so dicey .. some owners need to be checked like their dogs .. Ronin did a great job 🤩🐕
Good for Ronin. When a jerk owned does not correct his dog. Dog should be taken away. This is why I don't bother with dog parks. It only takes 1 jerk owner and your dog suffers.
I don't bother with dog parks either. There are so many bad owners who couldn't care less about socializing their dog. Even if my dog is a big one (Cane corso) I don't want to take the risk of a fight.
Have a woman who keeps bringing her aggressive Akita and her small 3year old son into the big dog side of the park. She lets both of them run around unsupervised. Have told her how dangerous it is for her son. She laughs it off and continues to bring him even though it is against the rules of the park. Uggg. We leave every time she shows up.
Everyone blaming Canela for having a Malinois.... you're so dumb. The heeler started the whole thing. You obviously did not watch the whole video and see the Malinois be friendly to every dog.
I dont know if that dog has any heeler in him, but he definitely has markings of Catahoula Leopard Dog, and his curled up tail is like a Spitz breed, a Husky, etc, not a heeler tail.. Heelers markings and coloring are very different from the gray base Catahoula's have.
@user-lx3th5on8l No it's not. They have about 10 toes on each paw to be able to grab onto the slippery rocks they have to traverse to get to the Puffins, and they are much smaller with different markings and fur.
my dog is way to dominant and strong to be at a dog park, not to mention he's never been "chill" with another dog before. he's a pitbull lab mix so like I said, he's really strong
And good for you for knowing his behavior & not taking him where he could become reactive. Wish more owners would pay more attention to their dogs mannerisms/behavior.
The heeler was fine, and, I'm sure, is cool with leaving Ronin in peace from now on. It's the owner that needs trained up. Considering the owner's behavior, I wonder how much the heeler was reacting to the owner's dysfunctional energy.
I love Ronin, he’s so friendly but stands up for himself when needed.
It’s in the breeding (military grade) Malinois were bread to not back down. I have one and she’s the same way, I just say she’s fine until F-ed with, but if they draw her blood then all bets are off.
@@theravenscatalyst i was thinking about a Malinois or a DSD pup. May settle for the less energetic DSD lol
I have a belguim male .He's the same way .Very friendly with everyone including other dogs .But if violence is shown by anybody ,he corrects the potential assailants very quickly.Hes 11 years old now ,we go everywhere together.

and sadly everyone calls him a bully, and a d***k now. so sad.
Interesting to see things from their perspective at the eye level. Also, this is educational of what dogs are really communicating.
I watch these videos all the time. Learning dog behavior is part of owning a dog. Very informational videos.
I love how Ronin sticks up for himself! Very good dog.
I love the dog psychology. Pretty cool to watch. Ronin looks like he’s the King of the park wants to make sure he knows everyone that comes in.
i love how often your boy gives the side of his face to other dogs, he just really doesnt want any beef, and for an intact boy he's very tolerant of other dogs being dominant around him and his pack
These videos are so helpful, you really break down every piece of body language. Thank you!
That’s why I never let my dog loose with multiple dogs all around. Somebody’s always gotta be a jackass. Glad your beautiful dog wasn’t hurt.
Not wanting to tell you what to do, but still be careful because a leashed dog is much more on the defensive since they can’t run away. If multiple dogs come at them while they’re leashed they might attack to protect themselves
“All dogs need an owner but not all owners need a dog .” I’m glad Ronin stood up for himself 😊
Thanks for pointing out all the telltale signs of behavior. Very informative and entertaining.
You can hear the owner telling his dog off! Calling him a dumbass cuz he knew Ronin would tear that ass up!
If that was a real heeler or in would absolutely not. Heelers are serious dogs. Give them a read
Didn’t realize how similar dog parks are to prison courtyard
lmao
Ronin is a perfect dog, only defensive when it is right.❤
Ronin is such a well behaved handsome boy. So smart and aware of other dogs emotions and different situations. it’s astonishing honestly💙👑

@@johnw6389 I’m very sorry for your loss. The wonderful gifts of animals are they teach us so much and respect/love unconditional. I’m glad you got to witness a friendship Amber finally hand picked. I’m still learning about who my dogs are and how amazing they can grow to be more intelligent as I grow in intelligence and awareness to making a better pack. You are blessed by Amber and I’m sure she is still by your side faithfully.
I love how Ronin never start a fight😂
He is a well behaved trained dog :)
At 9:07 bro really called ronin a dumba*s while he’s dog was literally trying to bite ronin in the face
Yea it's bullcrap that people don't redirect their dogs on that
It's bullshit and even I heard it and I was like "What the Fuck?"
The guy is a total jerk
@@ChristianPinnock-u5c ikr
He didn’t call ronin a Dumass he called his own dog that.
Man these dogs are lucky Ronin is such a nice gentleman. I mean that blue heeler would be a snack for him. Good on him and good on you
Do you know what a heeler is lol. That healer would drag that mal into deep water real quick
Very informative as always. Your videos help me in understanding my dogs behavior at the park.
I seriously love your videos. I’ve learned so much and appreciate how you pause and point out all the different body language signals that most of us never notice. It’s made me feel more confident when my own dog interacts with other dogs. I’m now aware that every growl is not going to escalate into a fight and such warnings shouldn’t be disciplined because they are actually the way dogs communicate to one another to avoid escalation. Thanks again for all the shared knowledge and for showing the correct way to handle socialization . ( people generally need more training than the dogs do.) 😅.
Yo bro. Only just discovered your channel but you have taught me so much already. I appreciate the good work and I hope to have such a loyal dog like Ronin some day
Watching this made me realize how short a dog's attention span is
Such an incredible dog behavior channel. Thank you
I want my 5 month old cockapoo to get familiar with other dogs but just watching this video makes me so nervous. Ronin is such a good playful boy and still get's into scuffles. Not to mention, he's a pretty big boy and dogs still test him, lol.
I wouldn't recommend to socialize your pup with dogs from strangers. Ask around for a stable dog with with a balanced demenor and socialize your pup with those. It's better he has a few positive experiences than a bad one. People can't read their dog and don't care if their dog behaves bad. It's especially dangerous if you have a small dog.
@Crystal F if you're nervous your dog will be nervous. Also, I'd caution you with your dogo being very young. Instincts to "protect him, pick him up" etc would be normal but could lead to disaster at a dog park. Check your community, you may find puppy play groups. Smaller, supervised play time with same age pups 🐕🐾💙
Perhaps the best and most safe way to socialize a puppy (or any dog) is just desensitizing them to every day stuff! Teaching a young pup to just peacefully co-exist with/near people and other dogs and is just so handy and can prevent many cases of reactivity:) And, just like the other comments said, avoid dog parks and find someone with a stable, tolerant dog and watch the interactions very closely!
@emily sayswords Thank you. I'm trying to teach him how to calm himself down when he sees new people and other pets now. He's such a friendly little nugget and wants to run up and kiss everyone, but of course, not everyone likes that. I'm kind of nervous taking such a big part that makes him so loveable away, but he for sure needs to be desensitized lol 😆 😅
What a fantastic boy, Ronin!! I feel sorry for the Aussie mix (it's not a Heeler mix. They aren't Merle and that dog doesn't look Heeler to me at all) because obviously his owner is a total asshat and the poor dog is nervous because he has no boundaries 😢 Your video is amazing and so helpful! Thank you for pausing to show the different Dog body language and explaining what it means! I hope more people watch and learn to pay attention! So many issues could be avoided if people just knew what their dogs were saying
You have trained Ronin very well, it's great watching these videos.😊❤
I love this channel and how you handle and read dogs, it's amazing. I also love all of your doggos. Thanks man! Subscribed.
The fact you interjected after Ronin stood his ground, shows the owner type you are (a good one), where as Heeler mix owner just stood on by and didn't even seem remotely bothered.
I love your vlogs they actually teach me more stuff i should know about dogs because i own 1 myself shes 1 year old and she also has puppies and im trying to teach them! ❤

Impressive your dog listens to you even with all the doggies around.
Every dog park has at least 1 dog owner thats clueless..you and your dog should be applauded for being under control..
The more I watch your vids the more I realise my dog is lord of the universe. Little shit!
Super travail de décryptage, passionnant ❤!
I love the content you make it’s so educational
Lesson...NEVER take your dog to dog park...its a fight ring!
Hate when ppl just laugh when their dog is being an asshole. I have a small intact cavalier. The most friendly dog in the world imo. When he gets thrown through the air by big aggressive dog and the owner thinks it’s funny I get some nasty thoughts.
I hate it when people with dogs have 0 understanding about their behaviour. I mean Ronin show a lot of restraint. The other dog would have gotten attacked a lot quicker by a whole lot of other dogs. The control you have over him is really something tho.
Ronin is a good boy 🐾 so much control 🙌 he did what he needed to do but this video just shows how many other dog owners just don't give a shit!! Unfortunately this happens to my husky and GSD and they get blamed for defending themselves even though they're on leash getting attacked by off leash dog's!!
I like how the blue heeler owner called him a dumbass when he did nothing
It was a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix.
"F**k around find out* Mally edition.
I’m love this channel i’m actually happy i found this channel
Thanks so much for the breakdown!!!
It's ironic that the friendliest/coolest dog was a pit, but the other breeds started stuff.
Which pit? There were two purebreds and one mixed. The mixed black one was extremely friendly, as they tend to be when raised by excellent owners.
@@carolinematusevich889 @5:38 Just because the media and some people try to make them out to be bad dogs.
@@jg7923 No. My feelings are based on my experiences, not the media's. And a good pittie owner recognizes that there's a lot of bad pittie owners out there. As there are among all breeds and all dog owners.
Little does the other owner know ronin would make a chew toy out of that dog.
I wouldn’t discount healers, they go face to face with big bulls all day long and win. That guy should have never let that dog get to that point. Healers are part dingo and can be very aggressive for their size and weight.
Ronin could have had the blue heeler as a SNACK.
Orange guy at 4:30 looked more intrigued by the camera but didn't like how ronin immediately got in his face?
The orange dog for sure could of just came over to try and assert himself too, but when he walked away after the minor confrontation I feel like he didn't *want* an issue perhaps.
I notice ronin is extremely pushy and maybe thats because he's a confident dog, but I do really like how the owner is aware of this and actually checks his dog
No way dude just called him a dumbass xD
I thought that too but rewatching, he is calling his dog (the heeler) a dumbass. Grabs him and holds him by the scruff a bit after that too...
Always the small dogs starting 💩 😂 glad no one was hurt tho
Love your videos man. Super helpful on understanding dog body language. Keepem coming… 😊
Ronan was like
“Thats my lady!” Lol 6:31
Glad you didn't punish Ronin for the interaction, it wasn't his fault. I kinda wish that dominant Pit had shown the Heeler some manners.
if a see another dog annoy my dog, i go over and give dem a push away and tells them that its not okay and polite behaviour. it usually helps.
Heelers bite HARD. Glad Ronin didn’t get hurt
they bite like a toothless infant compared to a Malinois.
@@thescurry You don’t know your dogs, do you? Heelers were bred to bite cattle in the back legs HARD. They have a bite force ranging from 200-400 PSI. Malinois are around 200.
Such a wonderful dog
Great looking dogs.
Others have said it: no ACD/heelers here. ❤
Once he realizes how big he is (and he’s starting) the whole dynamic changes
Amazing dog you got man. Nice work
LMAO these tiny dogs out here trying to act dominant towards large dogs when they can get killed by said dog within seconds
I have two Chinese cresteds, they know they have no chance lmao. They don't start shit with other dogs. That being said... my rats are the only small dogs I like 😂
Yep. Large part of the reason the dog continues to act this way is because the owner bails them out last second. They allow the posturing and dominance but interfere right as a fight breaks out - otherwise the dog would have learned its lesson by now.
this was amazing thank you !
that little dog was so lucky ronin didnt want to bite their face of XD
Ronin is a true alpha. Senses when other dogs are uncomfortable and chooses when to soften. But once a dog displays they are unfriendly he is unphased and pays them no mind, knowing he can easily defend himself, then ignores them. Love to see it. True confidence. 5:00 Walks right back up to him strong and confident but with space.
You have done amazing work with Ronin .. he is a beautiful dog and well behaved .. dog parks are so dicey .. some owners need to be checked like their dogs .. Ronin did a great job 🤩🐕
Good for Ronin. When a jerk owned does not correct his dog. Dog should be taken away. This is why I don't bother with dog parks. It only takes 1 jerk owner and your dog suffers.
I don't bother with dog parks either. There are so many bad owners who couldn't care less about socializing their dog. Even if my dog is a big one (Cane corso) I don't want to take the risk of a fight.
GSD's never forget confrontations and who caused them. Ever. Have myself a " Ronin", total awesomeness.
Have a woman who keeps bringing her aggressive Akita and her small 3year old son into the big dog side of the park. She lets both of them run around unsupervised. Have told her how dangerous it is for her son. She laughs it off and continues to bring him even though it is against the rules of the park. Uggg. We leave every time she shows up.
I really love your channel. I could watch Ronin all day 😊
I have a malanios
These videos have taught me so much
Everyone blaming Canela for having a Malinois.... you're so dumb. The heeler started the whole thing. You obviously did not watch the whole video and see the Malinois be friendly to every dog.
It's not a heeler, it's a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix.
Honestly if I saw my dog mounting another dog i would of called him back to me.
Always got to keep your eyes open... Some owners just let their dogs be terrible. They are always the victim when a dog won't put up with it.
I dont know if that dog has any heeler in him, but he definitely has markings of Catahoula Leopard Dog, and his curled up tail is like a Spitz breed, a Husky, etc, not a heeler tail.. Heelers markings and coloring are very different from the gray base Catahoula's have.
It's a Norwegian lundihund aka puffin dog I can tell
@user-lx3th5on8l No it's not. They have about 10 toes on each paw to be able to grab onto the slippery rocks they have to traverse to get to the Puffins, and they are much smaller with different markings and fur.
my dog is way to dominant and strong to be at a dog park, not to mention he's never been "chill" with another dog before. he's a pitbull lab mix so like I said, he's really strong
And good for you for knowing his behavior & not taking him where he could become reactive. Wish more owners would pay more attention to their dogs mannerisms/behavior.
dogs are like people, sometimes you just gotta punch some people in the face
True and dogs have sympathies and antipathies just like people too.
The heeler was fine, and, I'm sure, is cool with leaving Ronin in peace from now on. It's the owner that needs trained up. Considering the owner's behavior, I wonder how much the heeler was reacting to the owner's dysfunctional energy.
Very well socialized dog. Good work!
