- 7:59Speaker 3: Oh?
- 7:59Speaker 2: Yeah, she's the best.
- 8:00Speaker 3: She's the most lovable girl you could ever have. So yeah,
- 8:04Speaker 3: it's pretty easy to fall in love with her.
- 8:07Speaker 2: When you first came in. You know, I see the
- 8:09Speaker 2: dark around the muscle there, and I'm like, whoa, this
- 8:11Speaker 2: is it? Yeah, this is this is a mean dog.
- 8:14Speaker 2: And then I got soaked with kisses. You did you did? Yeah?
- 8:18Speaker 3: Yeah, she'll get every crevice with that ton for sure.
- 8:23Speaker 3: She doesn't mess around, bro, She don't mess around. But yeah,
- 8:27Speaker 3: I know she's uh, she's eighty five percent German Shepherd
- 8:30Speaker 3: and she's got some Belgian Melanoi there. That's why you
- 8:33Speaker 3: see the black on the snow. Yeah, you know, she's
- 8:36Speaker 3: she's a little mixture of everything. Really's got American Pitbull
- 8:39Speaker 3: terrier in there, because every dog does these days.
- 8:42Speaker 2: At least a little bit. But yeah, the ears, her
- 8:45Speaker 2: eyes are what get me. Just bright yellow, beautiful, beautiful
- 8:50Speaker 2: talk and just she knows she's staring at you. Uh,
- 8:54Speaker 2: You're you're definitely uh are you the master or is
- 8:57Speaker 2: she the mask?
- 8:58Speaker 3: Because I got the fucking nuggets? I got the chicken nuggies, dude,
- 9:03Speaker 3: that's why.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Wow, Uh confident Knine, that is your business. You're you're
- 9:12Speaker 2: a doc trainer. I am.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so, uh, mostly I deal with reactive and
- 9:18Speaker 3: aggressive dogs, but I mean I do anything from obedience
- 9:22Speaker 3: to actually, I'm gonna be doing group sessions soon, took.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:25Speaker 3: I just put that out there to see what people
- 9:27Speaker 3: would want to learn and stuff keep going.
- 9:30Speaker 2: I'm listening, yeah, to see what.
- 9:31Speaker 3: People would want to learn specifically, and then try to
- 9:34Speaker 3: excuse me being pushy, uh, to see what people would
- 9:37Speaker 3: want to learn and and base my groups around that specifically.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I see, I see that folks like to get together
- 9:46Speaker 2: and do I can't think of what it's called where
- 9:48Speaker 2: they all go for a walk together, packwalks, packwalks.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll do some of those two. Yeah, we don't.
- 9:53Speaker 3: We probably won't charge for that though. So it's one
- 9:56Speaker 3: of those things that when we decide to go we'll
- 9:58Speaker 3: just get a bunch of people together and try to
- 10:01Speaker 3: help them out with their dogs and stuff.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Wow, confident canine. Yep, how do we use You're on Facebook?
- 10:08Speaker 3: Right, I'm on Facebook. I have a website, and you know,
- 10:12Speaker 3: I'm kind of an old head dude. I got onto Instagram,
- 10:16Speaker 3: but I don't know how to fucking use it, So I.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Think I think Instagram is a huge pain in the ass.
- 10:23Speaker 2: But nonetheless, you know, generally kind of a younger demo
- 10:31Speaker 2: hangs out on on on Instagram. My nephews are still
- 10:34Speaker 2: trying to get me to figure it out. Yeah yeah,
- 10:37Speaker 2: same dude.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Yeah, every young kid I'm talking to, they're like TikTok Instagram. Yeah,
- 10:41Speaker 3: and even for them that's old news. But for me,
- 10:43Speaker 3: I'm like, I have no.
- 10:45Speaker 2: I understand, I do, but you but you're on Insta.
- 10:50Speaker 3: I am on Insta. Yeah, I have one video, so
- 10:52Speaker 3: if you want to check that out.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Well that'll I mean, that'll grow though.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well I'll put more on once I learn it.
- 10:58Speaker 2: But I'm telling you right now, dude, you if managing
- 11:03Speaker 2: the social media is that's a full time gig. Yeah,
- 11:08Speaker 2: no shit, And it's like you're such a busy guy,
- 11:12Speaker 2: you might have to have somebody else drive that bus
- 11:15Speaker 2: for a little while. Yeah.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Yeahs matter of fact, I just got ahold of it.
- 11:18Speaker 3: So I have a client that's really cool. She's been
- 11:22Speaker 3: super supportive. All of them are, but she's like extra
- 11:24Speaker 3: supportive where she checks in with me, like, you know,
- 11:27Speaker 3: and she was asking some questions about the three dogs
- 11:30Speaker 3: that she has that I've helped her with.
- 11:32Speaker 2: And dude, it was.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Like six days until I got back to her because
- 11:35Speaker 3: I just had so many messages and stuff, and so
- 11:38Speaker 3: I apologize and told her, listen, I'm sorry, I'm super busy.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Like we're literally planning a vacation, so we could just
- 11:45Speaker 3: take a fucking break.
- 11:47Speaker 2: You need it, you know, absolutely. Yeah, So it's probably
- 11:51Speaker 2: the first vacation you've taken it in a long time.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Quite a while, well since last year. But last year
- 11:55Speaker 3: I had some more free time than I do now.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Yeah. So but yeah, so this is taken off confident.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Canine has has taken off.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Like a fucking SpaceX rocket. What does that tell you, though, dude,
- 12:07Speaker 3: that there's plenty of room for for well, plenty of
- 12:10Speaker 3: room for growth, but there's just so many people that
- 12:13Speaker 3: don't know how to communicate properly with their dog or
- 12:16Speaker 3: just their dog has behavioral issues in general. Yeah, you know,
- 12:19Speaker 3: but a lot of times, just like Caesar Molan says,
- 12:22Speaker 3: you're you're training the people, not the dog.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Yeah, oh he was the guy that pinned that. Huh.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Well, I think I don't know if he pinned it,
- 12:28Speaker 3: but I've heard him say yeah.
- 12:32Speaker 2: And I think we all know someone who has an
- 12:36Speaker 2: unruly dog at home, or you know, just maybe maybe
- 12:40Speaker 2: just super hyper. Yeah, but maybe you know pinch of
- 12:44Speaker 2: aggression too well.
- 12:47Speaker 3: Behaviors, right, they It's kind of like when I said,
- 12:49Speaker 3: last time I was here, shit rolls downhill. I mean, yeah,
- 12:52Speaker 3: everybody says it.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody says it.
- 12:54Speaker 3: But but it's one of those things where if you
- 12:57Speaker 3: have behavioral issues and they are are, oh, what's stagnant.
- 13:03Speaker 3: If you have stagnant behavioral issues, they're not gonna stay stagnant.
- 13:06Speaker 3: They're gonna fucking grow more or less most of the time.
- 13:10Speaker 3: If your dog is needing of burning energy and it
- 13:14Speaker 3: doesn't get the proper outlets, those behavioral issues are gonna
- 13:17Speaker 3: grow for sure.
- 13:18Speaker 2: How what's your what's your opinion on on SPAE neoter
- 13:23Speaker 2: do it? Do it?
- 13:25Speaker 3: But don't do it if you can, excuse me, Ma,
- 13:27Speaker 3: I thought she was gonna eat the mic. If you
- 13:30Speaker 3: if you have a rescue dog, a lot of times
- 13:33Speaker 3: the rescues will spay or neuter while they're there, regardless
- 13:38Speaker 3: of the age. Unfortunately, like she was pade way too
- 13:40Speaker 3: soon at three months, but because she's a rescue, I
- 13:44Speaker 3: typically would say spae or neuter around a year. But
- 13:47Speaker 3: if there's behavioral issues pre existing from them being sexually intact,
- 13:54Speaker 3: then I would do it sooner. If that's you know,
- 13:56Speaker 3: because it all depends on the size of the dog,
- 13:58Speaker 3: the breed of the dog to and they become sexually
- 14:01Speaker 3: active and behavioral issues can start to start to come out.
- 14:05Speaker 3: So if it, if it happens sooner than a year,
- 14:09Speaker 3: try to get it done sooner if if you know,
- 14:11Speaker 3: I just think that all together dogs not reproducing because
- 14:15Speaker 3: we have so many at this point, there's so much
- 14:20Speaker 3: consistency for space, you know, when it comes down to it,
- 14:23Speaker 3: when it, excuse me, needing of space. When it comes
- 14:25Speaker 3: down to it, with rescues and all that, you see
- 14:27Speaker 3: dogs and cats all over the place just spay and
- 14:30Speaker 3: neuter regardless of the behavioral issues.
- 14:32Speaker 2: It seems like there's uh, maybe a misunderstanding or an
- 14:38Speaker 2: assumption or maybe just uh just a sense of a
- 14:44Speaker 2: little bit of maybe ignorance when it comes to spay
- 14:49Speaker 2: and neuter. Yeah, that really should be well communicated to
- 14:57Speaker 2: a dog owner absolutely or or cat owner. What the
- 15:01Speaker 2: pros are? I think the cons are way more, way
- 15:07Speaker 2: more yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 15:08Speaker 3: The thing is is like, you know, you know just
- 15:11Speaker 3: as well as I do, being a dude, what's the
- 15:13Speaker 3: last thing you want somebody to don the nice snipping
- 15:18Speaker 3: the old plums and so a lot of times what people,
- 15:22Speaker 3: what people are thinking is like, I'm not gonna allow
- 15:25Speaker 3: somebody to do that. He's naturally intact.
- 15:27Speaker 2: I don't want to take away his testicles or I.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Don't want to you know. But the problem is is,
- 15:31Speaker 3: just like you said, the cons outweigh the pros all
- 15:35Speaker 3: day long, all day long. If you make a list,
- 15:37Speaker 3: like I said, over reproducing, right, the dogs are everywhere.
- 15:41Speaker 3: That's just in space. That's just one little bit of
- 15:44Speaker 3: the problem, and it's a fucking huge one.
- 15:47Speaker 2: It is, especially in other countries. Right.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Well, the real problem, uh JD, is that people want
- 15:53Speaker 3: breeds that are beautiful, right, that they find beautiful and
- 15:57Speaker 3: there's breeds that are a typically beautiful to a lot
- 16:00Speaker 3: of people. Rottweiler's, German Shepherds, Belgian malinoise.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Shit.
- 16:04Speaker 3: You see a lot of Great Pyrenees nowadays too, you know,
- 16:07Speaker 3: a bunch of different But those are fucking guardian yes,
- 16:10Speaker 3: and and high drive dogs.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Right.
- 16:13Speaker 3: So then not only do people not know necessarily how
- 16:16Speaker 3: to train them or how to keep them around in general,
- 16:20Speaker 3: because a lot of times, like rottweiler specifically, they were
- 16:23Speaker 3: bred as a herding dog to begin with. There ain't
- 16:25Speaker 3: no fucking most people that have a Rottweiler, including myself. Yeah,
- 16:29Speaker 3: I can explain that just dog. I'll explain to justice sacred.
- 16:33Speaker 3: But but you see most people that have a Rottweiler,
- 16:36Speaker 3: they don't have a fucking firm. There's no herding going on.
- 16:40Speaker 3: They were also bred later to pull carts for butchers
- 16:43Speaker 3: in rot wild Germany, and you don't see many rottweiler's
- 16:46Speaker 3: pulling shit. So what they're bred for, they're not getting
- 16:49Speaker 3: the proper outlet, they're not getting that out of life.
- 16:52Speaker 3: And and a lot of people, you know, they're just
- 16:54Speaker 3: kind of chilling with their with their animals. Maybe they
- 16:57Speaker 3: leave to work for you know, anywhere from four to
- 17:00Speaker 3: eight hours on a typical day, either they're left home
- 17:03Speaker 3: or they're created. So you have all that time, all
- 17:06Speaker 3: that energy building up, and then when they get home,
- 17:09Speaker 3: they take them for a five minute walk and say
- 17:11Speaker 3: all right.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Let's be couch potatoes.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so you're telling the dog, hey, I
- 17:15Speaker 3: know what you were bred for and everything, but ba,
- 17:17Speaker 3: fuck that. Let's not do that at all. Let's just
- 17:19Speaker 3: sit on the couch and have you stir in your
- 17:21Speaker 3: fucking head. How's that doing?
- 17:23Speaker 2: This? Is? Everything you're saying is such an understatement, man, Yeah,
- 17:27Speaker 2: I know. I mean even you know here, I hear
- 17:30Speaker 2: you say five minute walk. I mean even even twenty minutes.
- 17:33Speaker 2: It's just it's just not enough. It's not even anywhere.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Close for working line.
- 17:38Speaker 2: You got to commit to this stuff, yea. Before you know,
- 17:41Speaker 2: so many of us are like, you know, this dog
- 17:43Speaker 2: looks beautiful, blah blah blah. I want this dog, but
- 17:47Speaker 2: we don't take all of these other things into factor. Facts. Yeah,
- 17:52Speaker 2: you have to sacrifice, you have to commit that you're
- 17:56Speaker 2: gonna be leading a different lifestyle.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll give you a prime example. Okay, everybody fucks up.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Everybody in life is going to fuck up at some point,
- 18:05Speaker 3: and especially with dogs, you learn as you go if
- 18:08Speaker 3: you haven't owned them all your life. Because I didn't,
- 18:10Speaker 3: you know, before I got with Heather, I owned one
- 18:12Speaker 3: dog and she was the most easy dog out there.
- 18:15Speaker 3: Right when I got her. She was to be my
- 18:19Speaker 3: demonstration dog for me, training and stuff. Right, so she
- 18:22Speaker 3: was to be the dog the face essentially of the company,
- 18:25Speaker 3: I guess because I'd bring her with me. But anyway,
- 18:29Speaker 3: when I got her, I was doing all my pro
- 18:31Speaker 3: bono work and stuff, and that's when things started to
- 18:34Speaker 3: take off, and I was here, there, everywhere. So guess
- 18:36Speaker 3: what I didn't do fucking train the German shepherd in
- 18:40Speaker 3: Malanou the way that I was supposed to.
- 18:42Speaker 2: And guess what, the.
- 18:44Speaker 3: Energy got built and built and built. She had no outlets.
- 18:48Speaker 3: She tried fucking eating one of our sheep at the house,
- 18:51Speaker 3: and I mean eating it. So she has a thing
- 18:54Speaker 3: where she likes to tear fluff out of like beds
- 18:58Speaker 3: and blankets and stuff. Well, sheep are fluffy, right, so
- 19:03Speaker 3: she tore the fluff off of that sheep to the
- 19:05Speaker 3: point where it was almost dead.
- 19:06Speaker 2: We had to have a vet.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Well no, actually we got the sheep in a car,
- 19:10Speaker 3: then went to the emergency vet room and yeah, so
- 19:13Speaker 3: the sheep's fine now.
- 19:15Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's what can.
- 19:19Speaker 3: This girl right here, this sweet innocent looking princess, when
- 19:23Speaker 3: she didn't have proper outlets, did that. Yeah, yeah, that's
- 19:28Speaker 3: what it can do.
- 19:30Speaker 2: And she's looking at me right now. And if you
- 19:33Speaker 2: have a problem with that, let me know.
- 19:36Speaker 3: She is the sweetest girl, but she she needs her energy.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Dreams. What an example?
- 19:42Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well everybody, you know, here's the thing, just
- 19:45Speaker 3: because you tag the line that the name trainer on
- 19:48Speaker 3: someone doesn't mean they know fucking everything. Nobody knows everything,
- 19:53Speaker 3: and everybody learns through experience, dude, You regardless of you're
- 19:57Speaker 3: a fucking trainer.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Or experience, finding out what's what's working right and then repetition,
- 20:03Speaker 2: consistency facts. Dude.
- 20:05Speaker 3: When I first started doing delivery, before I did training,
- 20:08Speaker 3: I had my fucking green horn era. I had people
- 20:11Speaker 3: giving me ship pulling pranks on me, being as oh yeah,
- 20:14Speaker 3: absolutely absolutely. I mean it's with any line of work,
- 20:17Speaker 3: especially if it's all men majority and you have no
- 20:21Speaker 3: HR around, dude, things are gonna happen. Yeah, like there was,
- 20:25Speaker 3: there was plenty of times, you know, and so over
- 20:28Speaker 3: time you build confidence, you start to know things, and
- 20:31Speaker 3: then you become the guy that gives the green horn ship.
- 20:33Speaker 3: It's just the way of the world, you know. Everything.
- 20:37Speaker 2: We have some friends who have a beautiful, beautiful doc
- 20:43Speaker 2: about just about the same size, not neutered, lovely doc.
- 20:53Speaker 2: I mean just wouldn't wouldn't harm you at all, but
- 20:56Speaker 2: just super super hyper. Yeah. Yeah, I mean you come
- 21:00Speaker 2: in the house and it jumps up on you. I
- 21:02Speaker 2: got pause right up here, I got the in the face,
- 21:08Speaker 2: just crazy. Yeah, And we've asked how come, oh to
- 21:18Speaker 2: the owners, Yeah, how come you won't neuter him or
- 21:25Speaker 2: get into some dog training? Yeah? Too expensive. So that's
- 21:29Speaker 2: what people's first go to. Number one, number two. I
- 21:33Speaker 2: don't want to net him. I feel bad for him, yep,
- 21:37Speaker 2: I feel bad.
- 21:38Speaker 3: As I said before the old snip snap.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean there's there's a yat butt here.
- 21:44Speaker 3: There's a wicked Yeah. But there's a huge butt.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Bro. This isn't a conda. Wow, what excuse me?
- 21:50Speaker 3: This is a sir mix a lot?
- 21:52Speaker 2: Yes, right, yeah, absolutely beautiful. That was beautiful. But yeah, no,
- 21:59Speaker 2: you're absolute. There's a big butt there. It's it's it.
- 22:03Speaker 3: Doesn't matter if you don't want them snipped. If you
- 22:06Speaker 3: want the true answer, it doesn't fucking matter, because most
- 22:10Speaker 3: issues that are going to persist once the dog becomes
- 22:14Speaker 3: sexually mature would almost well, I'll say it's like a
- 22:18Speaker 3: fifty to fifty unfortunately actually, but majority of the time
- 22:22Speaker 3: if you neuter or spay your dog around the time
- 22:25Speaker 3: that they should be spader neutered, those problems.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Will it's fifty to fifty whether they exist.
- 22:31Speaker 3: But the reason I'm laughing or smiling about it is
- 22:35Speaker 3: because it's not always a guarantee. But why not just
- 22:39Speaker 3: fucking do it right just in case those problems won't
- 22:43Speaker 3: exist now becauxactly you know. So it's like you know
- 22:46Speaker 3: with Rottweiler's and we'll go back to that in a
- 22:48Speaker 3: second if you want the history of those guys, because
- 22:51Speaker 3: they got my soul, dude, Like I love her, She's
- 22:54Speaker 3: got my heart, but Roddy's got my soul, dude. But anyway,
- 22:57Speaker 3: with a Rottweiler, if you don't soci expose them, they
- 23:01Speaker 3: are literally a guardian breed. They are bred to guard,
- 23:05Speaker 3: they're bred to do a lot of things.
- 23:06Speaker 2: As we said, the German shepherd too.
- 23:08Speaker 3: German shepherd is yeah, so they're there, they are, but
- 23:13Speaker 3: it's more they're hurting dog herting line, okay, and so
- 23:16Speaker 3: they're more high energy and ready to do work with you,
- 23:20Speaker 3: whereas a Rottweiler is also, but it's more of a
- 23:24Speaker 3: guardian breed as well.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
- 23:26Speaker 3: Sure, So specifically herting on the German shepherd's side for
- 23:30Speaker 3: the most part, whereas they were Rottweilers were bread for herting,
- 23:35Speaker 3: but they were also bred for guardians protectors as well.
- 23:39Speaker 2: Yeah, my little girl is in the back seat the
- 23:44Speaker 2: other day and she's got my cell phone and she's
- 23:50Speaker 2: google imaging all of these breeds of dogs.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Okay, do you guys have a dog yet?
- 23:57Speaker 2: Well, we've had we've we have had two dogs that
- 24:02Speaker 2: are no longer with us, and our hearts just we're
- 24:08Speaker 2: destroyed when we had to say goodbye. So we're not
- 24:12Speaker 2: we're not ready to do that again. But but my
- 24:19Speaker 2: little girl is interested in getting a dog someday and
- 24:27Speaker 2: has said when I move out in am I about
- 24:33Speaker 2: to have a dog, and we said sure, and she
- 24:39Speaker 2: is freaking out about some of the breeds. Doberman is
- 24:46Speaker 2: one of them that she's just like she's But but
- 24:49Speaker 2: it's all how they look. She loves the look of
- 24:52Speaker 2: the Doberman. She would love the look of what's her
- 24:55Speaker 2: name again, Sasha, you know, German shepherd, she loves the
- 25:02Speaker 2: look of. But the one that she kept kept coming
- 25:05Speaker 2: back to was Rattweiler.
- 25:10Speaker 3: So you know, all right, let me give you some
- 25:14Speaker 3: so so I think you're done. Listen, No, it's not, dude, they.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Listen.
- 25:22Speaker 3: You're talking to a guy that's got two purebread of them.
- 25:24Speaker 3: I'm I They do drool a bit, but I promise
- 25:28Speaker 3: you this girl drools more than they do. It's serious,
- 25:31Speaker 3: I swear to god. Are they messy? Are they bowls
- 25:33Speaker 3: in China shops?
- 25:34Speaker 2: Yes?
- 25:35Speaker 3: And it also depends on the size of the friggin
- 25:37Speaker 3: jowls that they have too. If you've got a big
- 25:40Speaker 3: old open hole down here at the bottom of their jowls,
- 25:42Speaker 3: of course they're gonna drool. But honestly, they don't drool
- 25:45Speaker 3: as much as you'd think. That's more of like a
- 25:48Speaker 3: like an English mastiff kind of thing to do, you know,
- 25:51Speaker 3: with the big old jewels. But but a little bit
- 25:54Speaker 3: of history on them, okay, because we're diving back from
- 25:57Speaker 3: what we were talking about before. I'm gonna make this quick. Rottweilers,
- 26:02Speaker 3: the ancestor of the Rothwild. Majority of the blood in
- 26:06Speaker 3: those dogs that you know as the rottweiler were bred
- 26:10Speaker 3: back in Roman times, and actually they migrated with the
- 26:13Speaker 3: Roman soldiers from when they were in Rome to when
- 26:16Speaker 3: they ended up in Germany, and they ended up in
- 26:18Speaker 3: a town called rot Wild, Germany, right, and they were
- 26:22Speaker 3: mostly protected. They were herders as well at that point,
- 26:25Speaker 3: but they were mostly protective of the soldiers, that kind
- 26:28Speaker 3: of thing, watching, keeping guard. The local townspeople in rot Wild,
- 26:32Speaker 3: Germany loved the dog so much that they bred that
- 26:36Speaker 3: dog with another loved local dog to rot Wild, Germany specifically,
- 26:44Speaker 3: and from those two you got what you now know
- 26:47Speaker 3: is the Rottweiler. And it used to be called and
- 26:50Speaker 3: I may get this wrong, but when the rottweiler was
- 26:53Speaker 3: first bred, they called it the rottweiler is Vottweiler, butcher's
- 27:00Speaker 3: wound or something like that, but anyway, it was Rottwild
- 27:03Speaker 3: or butcher's hound. And the reason they called it that
- 27:05Speaker 3: is because they bred them specifically two pole carts to
- 27:09Speaker 3: town for the butchers, and they would also use them
- 27:11Speaker 3: to guard the money. They'd keep the money satchel around
- 27:14Speaker 3: their neck to guard and protect the money from when
- 27:17Speaker 3: they go to town and back. Yeah, and so hurting,
- 27:20Speaker 3: pulling carts and guardian protective behavior essentially is what they
- 27:25Speaker 3: were bred for. So Rottweilers have multiple purposes and they're
- 27:29Speaker 3: used even now for multiple things. Rescue work. They used
- 27:33Speaker 3: to be military and cop dogs, but their bite forces
- 27:35Speaker 3: so much that they were breaking bones in people. So
- 27:38Speaker 3: they There was a few different reasons, but that was
- 27:40Speaker 3: one of them that they stopped doing that. But shit,
- 27:43Speaker 3: they were going with soldiers in World War One or
- 27:45Speaker 3: World War two, with soldiers on the battlefield and stuff,
- 27:50Speaker 3: so unreal. Yeah, they're all around kind of dogs.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Fascinating.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and I may you know, because I'm not
- 27:55Speaker 3: a fucking dictionary or excuse me.
- 27:58Speaker 2: I think, oh, well, I appreciate that.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Yeah, no, so I may have gotten a
- 28:03Speaker 3: little bit twisted, But the reason they were bred, there's
- 28:05Speaker 3: no twisting that there was all around hurting protection and
- 28:11Speaker 3: hurting protection, hurting protection and what was the other one
- 28:14Speaker 3: I had said, I can't remember, to be honest with you.
- 28:16Speaker 2: My brain's going on the cart pulling, KRT pulling. That's
- 28:20Speaker 2: what it was.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Yeah, so KRT, pulling, hurting and protection.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Wow.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes my brain fucking freezes up. Maybe it's all
- 28:26Speaker 3: the shit I used to do.
- 28:30Speaker 2: It's just fascinating stuff, man, Yeah, yeah, fascinating stuff. She
- 28:34Speaker 2: also said, uh ooh, I hear in the back seat
- 28:37Speaker 2: She's like, ooh uh look at this great dane. Oh god, yeah,
- 28:44Speaker 2: I don't see.
- 28:44Speaker 3: There's only one breed that I know, like everything about
- 28:48Speaker 3: the others. I know enough to train them, but I
- 28:50Speaker 3: don't know they're they're complete history.
- 28:52Speaker 2: So wow, Uh, you're You're really successful, dude. You're doing
- 28:59Speaker 2: really really well.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I mean, this is incredible. I appreciate you so having
- 29:05Speaker 2: having a dog that has some aggression? Have they ever
- 29:11Speaker 2: had aggression toward you? You show up at somebody's house
- 29:16Speaker 2: or they bring their their aggressive dog to your training facility.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I usually go to their house. Okay, but are you
- 29:26Speaker 2: shitting yourself when you're when you're trying to walk in
- 29:29Speaker 2: the front door and you got a dog that's like
- 29:31Speaker 2: gonna take your leg off.
- 29:33Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep it as real as I can with you.
- 29:35Speaker 3: You got to grab your fucking nuts before you go
- 29:38Speaker 3: in there, because sometimes it's sketchy. I mean, dude, there's
- 29:41Speaker 3: been times where and typically you don't see this with
- 29:43Speaker 3: this breed, but Newfoundland, you ever heard of a Noofi's Yeah,
- 29:47Speaker 3: a big one hundred and fifty pound guys, right, or
- 29:49Speaker 3: you're dealing with a cane corso or whatever it may be,
- 29:53Speaker 3: and you got to grab your nuts and walk in
- 29:55Speaker 3: the door like you own the place. But the thing
- 29:58Speaker 3: is is I have I have a bite suit.
- 30:00Speaker 2: That's how I come home every day, by the way,
- 30:02Speaker 2: Yeah to Sherman, I grab my nuts and I act
- 30:05Speaker 2: like it never never works for me. Yeah, well never.
- 30:13Speaker 3: You still gotta be brave to get through the door.
- 30:15Speaker 2: And still try.
- 30:17Speaker 3: No, yeah, you got it. But I have a bite suit,
- 30:20Speaker 3: so it helps. You know, I got like four or
- 30:22Speaker 3: five inches of padding in that fucking thing. So if
- 30:25Speaker 3: I go into a dog that I know, excuse me, girl,
- 30:30Speaker 3: if I go into a house where I know there's
- 30:32Speaker 3: pre existing aggression or where the owner tells me there
- 30:34Speaker 3: probably is, I don't take the chance. I put that on.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Before I go in A thick suit.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Pretty thick suit. Yeah, it covers torso and legs.
- 30:42Speaker 2: And then I wear work boots and and.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Uh really padded gloves as well in case they bite
- 30:47Speaker 3: me in the hand. But essentially what you're doing is
- 30:50Speaker 3: a lot of times with aggression with dogs, it's what's
- 30:53Speaker 3: called learned aggression, right, because you have inherent aggression, then
- 30:56Speaker 3: you have learned aggression. Almost all aggression has learned anyway, regardless.
- 31:01Speaker 3: They learned that going forward, having forward body body movement,
- 31:06Speaker 3: body posture, and wanting to either cause harm and or
- 31:12Speaker 3: get into somebody's space, whether it's another dog or human,
- 31:16Speaker 3: makes that threat back away, right, So they've learned that
- 31:20Speaker 3: they can push away a threat either by encroaching on
- 31:22Speaker 3: the space or doing damage when you have the bite
- 31:25Speaker 3: suit on. Essentially, what you're doing, especially first meeting them,
- 31:29Speaker 3: is letting them ranch on that fucking that bite suit
- 31:32Speaker 3: and you have no reaction whatsoever. So it's not getting
- 31:35Speaker 3: them anywheres with you. You see, that's the first part
- 31:38Speaker 3: of the psychological training that you're doing with the dog.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Now that dog knows this guy's different.
- 31:44Speaker 2: He's not afraid of me.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Right, this guy I ain't budgeting when I want him
- 31:48Speaker 3: to budge.
- 31:49Speaker 2: But can't this aggressive dog smell the pheromones of fear
- 31:55Speaker 2: coming out of coming out of you? Even through that
- 31:58Speaker 2: fix suit. You just got to pretend as well as
- 32:00Speaker 2: you can. And it's for me.
- 32:02Speaker 3: It's not fearful. I don't know, man, Maybe this goes
- 32:05Speaker 3: back to the same thing I was talking about with
- 32:07Speaker 3: the brain farights I have. Yeah, maybe all the time
- 32:10Speaker 3: that I spent on the brink of death. I don't know.
- 32:12Speaker 3: But at this point I could give a fuck less.
- 32:15Speaker 3: I walk into that house like, please chew on me.
- 32:17Speaker 3: I don't give a shit.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Wow.
- 32:19Speaker 3: But but it is sketchy at the same time, it's
- 32:22Speaker 3: not like it's not like I want pain, you know.
- 32:25Speaker 3: I just know that it's possibly coming, and you get
- 32:27Speaker 3: ready for it. But when it comes to the actual
- 32:29Speaker 3: getting bit, yeah, you gotta breathe for a second. You
- 32:32Speaker 3: just can't be fearful, you know, like my grandmother. My
- 32:35Speaker 3: grandmother was attacked as a kid, so she's fearful. Even
- 32:38Speaker 3: fucking chihuahua came up and licked her legs, she'd be fearful.
- 32:42Speaker 2: You know.
- 32:42Speaker 3: You can't be like that. But you definitely gotta get
- 32:46Speaker 3: ready for.
- 32:46Speaker 2: The same thing. Same thing with my buddy Andy, and
- 32:51Speaker 2: he's autistic, so it's really a trigger point. Yeah, he's
- 32:57Speaker 2: any dog, any size, actually, if they're not on a leash.
- 33:03Speaker 2: And you know our rule that we're always repeating no
- 33:08Speaker 2: matter what is if we stay calm, the dog stays come.
- 33:14Speaker 2: And he'll say that over and over. And so I mean,
- 33:18Speaker 2: if we're out for a hike or something, all of
- 33:19Speaker 2: a sudden, coming around the corner, the opposite direction without
- 33:24Speaker 2: warning is a dog running off leash. Bang. We have
- 33:27Speaker 2: to say we stay calm, the dog stays.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Come and cool gi.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Yeah, even if the dog comes up and stiffs you,
- 33:34Speaker 2: if we stay calm, the dog stays come.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Yeah, No, And he's not wrong, dude. So you know,
- 33:40Speaker 3: I feel kind of like a fucking tree hugger when
- 33:42Speaker 3: I say it to people, but it's so real. Your
- 33:45Speaker 3: energy absolutely affects a dog. Absolutely. If you have a
- 33:50Speaker 3: dog that's reactive right on the end of the line,
- 33:53Speaker 3: barking at other dogs, other people, that kind of thing,
- 33:55Speaker 3: if you're nervous and tense, so is that dog going
- 33:59Speaker 3: to be okay? So you have to take a deep
- 34:03Speaker 3: fucking breath, calm down, and handle it as well as
- 34:06Speaker 3: you can handle it. This is why it's a big
- 34:08Speaker 3: deal to get help for training if you need it,
- 34:11Speaker 3: because you need to know how to handle the fucking situation,
- 34:14Speaker 3: you know, or else you're just gonna make it worse. Actually,
- 34:16Speaker 3: before you go or before you go on, I want
- 34:19Speaker 3: to say this. The worst thing that anybody can do,
- 34:22Speaker 3: and I'm talking to everybody, Okay, whether your dog's reactive
- 34:25Speaker 3: or aggressive, is start doing this ah, calling their name,
- 34:29Speaker 3: getting all excited and fucking crazy, because that's just gonna
- 34:33Speaker 3: drive the behavior home for them. Don't fucking do that.
- 34:36Speaker 3: If anything, stay calm, confident, and as quiet as possible
- 34:41Speaker 3: while being able to give a correction, whether it's a
- 34:44Speaker 3: pop on the leash, whether it's using a fucking squirt bottle,
- 34:48Speaker 3: whatever it may be, Stay calm and confident in that situation.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Don't raise your voice.
- 34:53Speaker 3: Yeah, even if the even if your dog is latched
- 34:56Speaker 3: onto another dog, an actual fight happened, the last thing
- 34:59Speaker 3: you want to do is raise that energy and try
- 35:02Speaker 3: to pull the dog away. So, I mean, we can
- 35:05Speaker 3: that's a deeper thing, pulling the dog or not pulling
- 35:07Speaker 3: the dog. There's a way to induce the gag reflex
- 35:10Speaker 3: to get any dog to open up its mouth and
- 35:12Speaker 3: pull that off another dog.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Wow, I have so many questions for you. I'm gonna
- 35:16Speaker 2: ask you about that collar here in just a second.
- 35:18Speaker 2: But oh yeah, we got a question here. There's a
- 35:20Speaker 2: guy that puts on a muscle on his shepherd dog.
- 35:24Speaker 2: He is an older dog, and he really I'm guessing
- 35:31Speaker 2: they're saying, really couldn't hurt someone. Why do you think
- 35:34Speaker 2: that they could be that way? Well, I'm not totally
- 35:38Speaker 2: sure I understand the question.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either.
- 35:40Speaker 2: I guess why would we muscle an older shepherd.
- 35:46Speaker 3: If there's a potential issue, If the dog is a
- 35:48Speaker 3: wrist to other dogs and or people, that's when you
- 35:51Speaker 3: should mussele the dog. Otherwise I don't you know. I
- 35:53Speaker 3: mean there's every I think I said this last time
- 35:55Speaker 3: I was on every instance. Every dog is individual, so
- 35:59Speaker 3: it all depends. I mean, if it's showing behaviors that
- 36:02Speaker 3: you think that would help, putting a muzzle owned help
- 36:04Speaker 3: in general. Sure, but I don't get the question to
- 36:07Speaker 3: be on I don't understand.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Well, we'll see if they can clarify. But you know this,
- 36:14Speaker 2: issuld say every relationship. Every dog has their own personality,
- 36:18Speaker 2: just like humans, and then every throw a human in
- 36:21Speaker 2: there who has their own personality. The two of them together,
- 36:27Speaker 2: it's it's a unique chemistry between the two. It can
- 36:31Speaker 2: be a one. I'm sure it can be. And you
- 36:35Speaker 2: know what, what seems to be one of the biggest
- 36:39Speaker 2: problems is the word neglect. It's it's there's all different
- 36:49Speaker 2: kinds of forms of that, neglect of attention, neglecting of
- 36:55Speaker 2: the time and sacrifice that you need to put into
- 36:58Speaker 2: that dog, whether it's signing up for obedience classes, getting
- 37:06Speaker 2: the right dental care, getting the right vet care, making
- 37:13Speaker 2: sure that you're you're sacrificing enough time needed to give
- 37:19Speaker 2: that dog what it needs, whether it's if it's a
- 37:23Speaker 2: runner or whatever, and if they need a good hour
- 37:28Speaker 2: of heavy running, frisbee, tennis, ball, swimming in the pond,
- 37:34Speaker 2: whatever it is, hiking. You have to be committed to
- 37:37Speaker 2: that man. And when you come home at the end
- 37:39Speaker 2: of the day and you're dragging, you're tired.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Get a dog that Get a dog that fits that
- 37:48Speaker 3: kind of lifestyle. Get yourself a fucking English bulldog. Get
- 37:52Speaker 3: yourself a you know, well, not even a dots and
- 37:55Speaker 3: because they require more too, but just a dog that
- 37:57Speaker 3: fits that lazy lifestyle. There's plenty of them. But here's
- 38:02Speaker 3: the thing is all the information on breeds exists somewheres.
- 38:07Speaker 3: It's really hard though, for people to want to do
- 38:10Speaker 3: all the research, especially if the research says maybe this
- 38:13Speaker 3: dog isn't for you, or a lot of times they'll
- 38:16Speaker 3: say not for your typical first time dog owner. Most
- 38:20Speaker 3: of the research I did when I first got my
- 38:22Speaker 3: Rottweiler said that, and I was like, but earmuffs can't
- 38:25Speaker 3: hear this. You know, that was before training and shit.
- 38:28Speaker 3: So a lot of times people I want, I wish
- 38:31Speaker 3: the information was out there more as much as possible,
- 38:35Speaker 3: so it's it's ready enough for somebody to find very
- 38:38Speaker 3: quickly and want to read. And that's why I try
- 38:42Speaker 3: to help as much as I can, even for free.
- 38:44Speaker 3: When it comes to consulting with people and stuff like that,
- 38:47Speaker 3: I've done less of it because I've had less time lately,
- 38:49Speaker 3: but I try to. I try to keep everybody up
- 38:52Speaker 3: on the breeds that they have, you know, especially if
- 38:54Speaker 3: they're high energy, especially if they require a lot of exercise,
- 38:57Speaker 3: like you're saying, you know, a lot, whether it be
- 39:00Speaker 3: mental or physical outlets, they need a lot. And so
- 39:04Speaker 3: but the it's readily available if you're looking for But
- 39:07Speaker 3: a lot of people don't do the research. So what
- 39:09Speaker 3: you'll see is somebody has a breed kind of like
- 39:12Speaker 3: we were talking before, that doesn't fit their lifestyle, and
- 39:15Speaker 3: they just try to make the dog fit their lifestyle.
- 39:18Speaker 2: Yeah, got a fran is saying he has to keep
- 39:24Speaker 2: the muzzle on because this dog will go after you,
- 39:28Speaker 2: will go after you. And this is what the the
- 39:32Speaker 2: dog owner is saying. So you know, I think what
- 39:36Speaker 2: they're asking is And I'm not sure if this is
- 39:40Speaker 2: the one that I hear about, but it's like once
- 39:43Speaker 2: a week or so, right here in this studio, I'll
- 39:47Speaker 2: see and hear a dog that is fitting this description perfectly.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Here that is barking, super loud, super aggressive, big big
- 39:58Speaker 2: dog right here on North Main Street. And it's a
- 40:02Speaker 2: guy that I think parks right here and gets out
- 40:05Speaker 2: with this dog.
- 40:05Speaker 3: I've heard of this Is it a German Shepherd?
- 40:07Speaker 2: I think I've heard of this dog.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it's notorious.
- 40:13Speaker 2: It's you know, if we're going out in public, wherever
- 40:19Speaker 2: it may be. We want to go to the Wednesday
- 40:23Speaker 2: concert in the park, we want to go to the
- 40:26Speaker 2: farmer's market, we want to go wherever. Yeah, our dog's
- 40:31Speaker 2: gotta be muzzled and or act well.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't get there without the muzzle dude,
- 40:41Speaker 3: the muzzle. You condition your dog with the muzzle to
- 40:46Speaker 3: eventually get.
- 40:46Speaker 2: To the good behavior.
- 40:48Speaker 3: But you also have to have the training in between.
- 40:50Speaker 3: You can't just throw a muzzle on and think the
- 40:51Speaker 3: fucking dogs just gonna stop the behavior. You have to
- 40:55Speaker 3: you have to use positive punishment and positive reinforce.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Right.
- 41:01Speaker 3: So, I don't want to get too deep into it,
- 41:02Speaker 3: but they're two parts of operant conditioning that you hear
- 41:06Speaker 3: all over the place with training. It's one of the
- 41:08Speaker 3: most basic conditionings that people use a lot. Positive just
- 41:13Speaker 3: means you're adding something. Punishment means you're trying to get
- 41:17Speaker 3: rid of a behavior again, So there's positive and negative punishment.
- 41:22Speaker 3: There's positive and negative reinforcement. Positive and negative just mean
- 41:27Speaker 3: ad or subtract. Punishment means you're trying to get rid
- 41:30Speaker 3: of a behavior. Reinforcement means you're trying to keep a
- 41:34Speaker 3: behavior going. So if you use positive punishment like a
- 41:38Speaker 3: correction on the leash right to stop the behavior, snap
- 41:41Speaker 3: the mindset, okay, You're then going to use positive reinforcement
- 41:45Speaker 3: like a treat. Treats our positive reinforcement and show them
- 41:50Speaker 3: that going away from the thing that they were barking
- 41:52Speaker 3: at is the behavior you want to see, and you
- 41:55Speaker 3: reinforce that with the treat.
- 41:56Speaker 2: That makes sense, it does. I have a a very
- 42:01Speaker 2: dear friend who has a little chihuahua and a rescue
- 42:09Speaker 2: rescue chihuahua who came with some baggage. But they have
- 42:16Speaker 2: made huge strides with this dog. However, and I know
- 42:22Speaker 2: this is probably just part of the breed. When someone
- 42:26Speaker 2: comes to the door, or when someone's in the house
- 42:30Speaker 2: and they're getting ready to leave, this chihuahua goes nuts.
- 42:35Speaker 2: It's all about the door. I don't know, if you know,
- 42:43Speaker 2: I think. And it frustrates the owners of the dogs.
- 42:49Speaker 2: They're they're frustrated scolding, but it's not making it different.
- 42:57Speaker 3: They just see you as unstable. That's when when you
- 43:00Speaker 3: scold a dog, especially if you're yelling and stuff, they
- 43:02Speaker 3: see you as unstable. You might get uh, you might
- 43:06Speaker 3: get them to listen, But a lot of times if
- 43:08Speaker 3: you're raising your voice like that or whatever, it's out
- 43:09Speaker 3: of fear. It's not really them following you. It's just
- 43:12Speaker 3: them being scared in the moment.
- 43:14Speaker 2: I mean, he's a chihuahua, dude, he's you know, a
- 43:17Speaker 2: thousand pounds. Yeah, he's massive. He doesn't give a shit
- 43:21Speaker 2: how many times you're telling him to knock it off,
- 43:24Speaker 2: to stop barking. You know. If if once I'm in
- 43:28Speaker 2: the house, it's all good. Yeah, but if I even
- 43:30Speaker 2: look at that door, take a step toward it, it
- 43:34Speaker 2: just explodes with with barking. Dude.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Little dogs and puppies are the fucking easiest to train
- 43:41Speaker 3: in my eyes. Okay, this is my opinion, but in
- 43:44Speaker 3: my experience, they're the fucking easiest because I can get
- 43:47Speaker 3: bit on the hand by them fuckers all day and
- 43:49Speaker 3: it's nothing, you know. So if I'm doing the training,
- 43:52Speaker 3: if you have like an uh, well you say aggressive chihuahua, yes,
- 43:56Speaker 3: they're forward behavior. It's more like you see a lot
- 43:59Speaker 3: of chuawa is guarding, like they'll guard their owner, guard
- 44:03Speaker 3: their resources.
- 44:04Speaker 2: There were one person dog.
- 44:05Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and and they get that little dog
- 44:08Speaker 3: complex thing going on, and they guard, they do all
- 44:10Speaker 3: the things. They try to act tougher than they are,
- 44:13Speaker 3: but it comes from a lot of times it comes
- 44:16Speaker 3: from a place of insecurity too. If they don't have
- 44:18Speaker 3: the training a little dog like that, it's almost like
- 44:20Speaker 3: they got to compensate, right. But anyway, the point is
- 44:23Speaker 3: is with a dog like that. Pinning, just pinning the
- 44:28Speaker 3: dog works amazing. And what I mean by that, it's
- 44:31Speaker 3: got different names, pin, alpha, role, all the fucking things.
- 44:35Speaker 3: If you ever watch The Dog Whisperer back in the
- 44:37Speaker 3: day with again Caesar Malan right now, some people consider
- 44:41Speaker 3: him the goat. Some people don't consider them at all.
- 44:44Speaker 3: I personally think what he does as a behavioralist makes
- 44:47Speaker 3: a lot of sense. So what he'll do with a
- 44:49Speaker 3: little dog like that, and any dog for that matter,
- 44:52Speaker 3: is you have to talk.
- 44:53Speaker 2: To the dog.
- 44:54Speaker 3: Speak to the dog as instinctively as possible, like another
- 44:57Speaker 3: dog would. How would a leader of pack talk to
- 45:01Speaker 3: a dog that's acting out.
- 45:02Speaker 2: Of pocket like this with its teeth?
- 45:05Speaker 3: Okay, So what you would do is, let's say we
- 45:08Speaker 3: had two dogs here, Sasha and another dog, right, and
- 45:11Speaker 3: Sasha decided she was gonna nip and bite that other
- 45:15Speaker 3: dog in the face. Okay, that's a serious reaction that
- 45:20Speaker 3: deserves a serious consequence. That serious consequence that I would
- 45:24Speaker 3: use is what's called pinning, where I would roll the
- 45:27Speaker 3: dog onto their side, okay, and I would make sure
- 45:30Speaker 3: they stay there, and I'd take three fingers right to
- 45:33Speaker 3: resemble teeth from another dog. Pack leader I'd put them
- 45:37Speaker 3: around the neck and I would just hold her there,
- 45:39Speaker 3: not pressuring, not pinchon into her neck too much or anything,
- 45:43Speaker 3: just holding her there, okay, until her whole body goes submissive,
- 45:47Speaker 3: she becomes calm, everything gets light, not tense, right, and
- 45:52Speaker 3: I would go to get up, because I'm over her
- 45:55Speaker 3: when I do this. I'm not doing it from the side.
- 45:57Speaker 3: I'm over her when I do this, and so I
- 46:00Speaker 3: would wait till she gets light, all surmised, and then
- 46:03Speaker 3: I would go to walk away.
- 46:05Speaker 2: If she went to get up too quickly.
- 46:08Speaker 3: I would go right back to what I was doing
- 46:10Speaker 3: before until she submisses more. When I go to get
- 46:13Speaker 3: up and she has stayed there while I go to
- 46:17Speaker 3: walk away, that's when it's done, okay. And a lot
- 46:21Speaker 3: of times you'll see it, yeah, and a lot of
- 46:23Speaker 3: because that's what a pack leader would do.
- 46:25Speaker 2: Dog to dog.
- 46:26Speaker 3: That's what they would do. What you'll see with an
- 46:28Speaker 3: alpha dog or a pack leader. If somebody's got too
- 46:31Speaker 3: much energy, somebody's acting out of pocket, and the leader
- 46:34Speaker 3: isn't okay with it, he will literally put this is
- 46:37Speaker 3: why you see with dominant energy. With dogs, he'll put
- 46:40Speaker 3: his head over them to begin with right, and if
- 46:43Speaker 3: they don't act appropriately and calm down, he'll then put
- 46:47Speaker 3: his whole body to them to push them over on
- 46:50Speaker 3: their side on the ground, And a lot of times
- 46:52Speaker 3: he'll use his mouth on their neck to just keep
- 46:55Speaker 3: them in place and say, ah, that's enough.
- 46:58Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Fascinating?
- 47:00Speaker 3: Yeah, So I like to talk to the dogs as
- 47:02Speaker 3: instinctly as possible because I feel like that's what gets
- 47:05Speaker 3: through to them the most. We don't always have to
- 47:07Speaker 3: roll a dog to alpha role or pin a dog.
- 47:10Speaker 3: It just depends on the behavior. Again, everything is individual.
- 47:14Speaker 2: So a lot of people have, as you well know,
- 47:20Speaker 2: very strong opinions about the shock collar.
- 47:24Speaker 3: Oh yeah, got one a shock collar. I got one
- 47:28Speaker 3: on her right now.
- 47:29Speaker 2: Sherilyn wants to get one for me. You know, she's
- 47:35Speaker 2: got one on her right now.
- 47:37Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's electric stimulation. Okay, shot colors
- 47:40Speaker 3: are a fucking I mean, you can call it one.
- 47:43Speaker 3: But there really I know, believe me, I know, and
- 47:45Speaker 3: I have to I have to try to educate clients
- 47:48Speaker 3: and stuff. And honestly, again we talked about this last time.
- 47:52Speaker 3: It's just like the prong caller. There's a stigma, right,
- 47:56Speaker 3: But when you educate people on them and then you
- 47:58Speaker 3: ask them, hey, is it okay if I just show
- 48:00Speaker 3: you you know what could be the result of us
- 48:03Speaker 3: using these tools and how good it could go? And
- 48:06Speaker 3: they say, yeah, I guess fucking night and day.
- 48:08Speaker 2: Dude, Sure, night and day.
- 48:10Speaker 3: But anyway, it's not a shot caller in that sense.
- 48:13Speaker 3: It's got electric stimulation, but it goes zero or from
- 48:17Speaker 3: level zero.
- 48:18Speaker 2: To one hundred. You're never gonna use one hundred.
- 48:20Speaker 3: I keep it on level like five to eight, on
- 48:23Speaker 3: a working level to teach the dog what the e
- 48:25Speaker 3: coller is and stuff. I mean, I could get into
- 48:28Speaker 3: how I teach, but there's no point. It's a long thing.
- 48:31Speaker 3: But anyway, very little level. If there's a distraction level, yes,
- 48:37Speaker 3: that requires a little bit, you know, a little higher level.
- 48:40Speaker 3: So if they're distracted, they can still feel it and
- 48:43Speaker 3: use impulse control to make a decision like, oh I
- 48:46Speaker 3: felt the stimulation, I should go back to my owner,
- 48:48Speaker 3: that guy.
- 48:49Speaker 2: And it's not necessarily painful, No.
- 48:51Speaker 3: It's when it's on a low level, it's and I
- 48:54Speaker 3: think I said this last time too. With owners, what
- 48:57Speaker 3: I'll do is if they have they feel some type
- 49:00Speaker 3: of way about the essentially shock collar, right, the fucking
- 49:05Speaker 3: the notorious shock collar. I'll have, yeah, right, the fucking
- 49:13Speaker 3: electric chair for dogs, whatever the fuck you want to
- 49:15Speaker 3: call it. Anyway, So I have them take the e
- 49:19Speaker 3: caller stimulation collar right and put it on their hand,
- 49:23Speaker 3: and I'll put it on a working level like five
- 49:25Speaker 3: D eight, like I told you, and I'll say, tell
- 49:28Speaker 3: me if you feel this, okay, And so I'll be
- 49:31Speaker 3: hitting the button because they don't fucking feel it right, right,
- 49:36Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, so that's the normal level that
- 49:38Speaker 3: I would use with a dog, like, oh, I didn't
- 49:39Speaker 3: even feel it. I said, okay, keep it on you.
- 49:42Speaker 3: I'm gonna raise the level. You tell me when you
- 49:44Speaker 3: do feel it. And everybody's got a different tolerance, but
- 49:46Speaker 3: most of the time it's towards like fifteen or twenty
- 49:49Speaker 3: that they'll feel it. There's a lot of times I
- 49:51Speaker 3: don't even use that as a distraction level, as a
- 49:54Speaker 3: higher level, so majority of the time what they actually
- 49:57Speaker 3: end up feeling doesn't even get used on the dog.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Fascinating, you know what I mean. But so it's you. You
- 50:05Speaker 2: shouldn't be hitting the button to make your dog yelp
- 50:10Speaker 2: in pain.
- 50:11Speaker 3: Okay, so we do have to talk about the inevitability
- 50:15Speaker 3: that those things happen. Okay, So if you're working the
- 50:20Speaker 3: e caller to the dog through recall, which it should
- 50:23Speaker 3: always be through recall first. That way, the first go
- 50:26Speaker 3: to behavior for your dog when it feels the stimulation
- 50:29Speaker 3: is to boop, come back to you, or check in
- 50:32Speaker 3: with you, whatever it may be.
- 50:34Speaker 2: No, the dog knows that you're controlling that.
- 50:36Speaker 3: Well, the dog feels it, and you teach it through
- 50:39Speaker 3: leash pressure, so the dog realizes when you hit that. Yes,
- 50:43Speaker 3: it notices, and it comes back to Mama or Dada
- 50:46Speaker 3: or whoever. But it is inevitable that you may put
- 50:52Speaker 3: that dog on a little bit higher level than necessary.
- 50:56Speaker 2: It happens.
- 50:56Speaker 3: It happens, No, but it only it happens because, yes,
- 51:00Speaker 3: if you need to. But even if you need to,
- 51:03Speaker 3: sometimes you'll accidentally put the level up. And the reason
- 51:06Speaker 3: for it is if your dog has a fuck ton
- 51:08Speaker 3: of hair, those prongs don't make contact correctly, so you're
- 51:13Speaker 3: thinking the dog's not feeling it, and so you put
- 51:15Speaker 3: it up higher and then all of a sudden it
- 51:17Speaker 3: touches the skin and it's too much.
- 51:19Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 51:19Speaker 3: It is inevitable in training that that happens. Just turn
- 51:23Speaker 3: the fucking level down. Yeah, you gotta work the dog
- 51:25Speaker 3: through if it, like, you know, got fearful of that
- 51:28Speaker 3: situation or something, Sure, you work the dog through that.
- 51:30Speaker 3: You bring it back down to a level they can handle.
- 51:32Speaker 3: You don't sit there and just continuously shock the fuck
- 51:35Speaker 3: out of it.
- 51:35Speaker 2: We tend to jump to the word inhumane too much,
- 51:41Speaker 2: too often, too easily. And what we have to do
- 51:46Speaker 2: is take a step back and and listen and learn
- 51:50Speaker 2: and educate ourselves about this instead of jumping to our
- 51:53Speaker 2: own conclusions. We have to we have to learn how
- 51:56Speaker 2: this can be a tool that can be used to
- 51:59Speaker 2: effect of lee responsibly, humanely for dog to get the attention. Yeah.
- 52:09Speaker 3: So so let me ask you this, JD. And I
- 52:12Speaker 3: know you can answer this just like anybody that's you know,
- 52:15Speaker 3: coherent enough and a smart enough person or common sense enough.
- 52:20Speaker 3: I should say, when you have dogs out in the wild,
- 52:27Speaker 3: what do they do to each other if they want
- 52:29Speaker 3: to communicate something? If again, let's go back to the leader,
- 52:33Speaker 3: the leader of the pack, the alpha dog, how does
- 52:36Speaker 3: that dog communicate with another How does a mother dog
- 52:39Speaker 3: communicate to her pups when they're acting out of pocket.
- 52:44Speaker 2: Ah, the neck, But what are they doing to the neck?
- 52:49Speaker 3: Are they what are the there's a word for it.
- 52:51Speaker 2: I use it all the time. What are they doing
- 52:54Speaker 2: to the dog dominance? It's correcting.
- 52:57Speaker 3: They're correcting the behavior right by doing whatever.
- 53:01Speaker 2: You know.
- 53:02Speaker 3: It's a lot of times it's mouth whatever. It doesn't mean.
- 53:04Speaker 3: The point is, even in the natural world, there's corrections
- 53:07Speaker 3: for a dog. Okay, dogs don't fart pixie dust. We
- 53:11Speaker 3: don't fart fucking pixie dust. The natural world has corrections
- 53:15Speaker 3: to it, right, there's I don't want to say that
- 53:18Speaker 3: the natural world is mother Nature is a bitch, okay,
- 53:22Speaker 3: And when it comes to training a dog you need
- 53:24Speaker 3: to be able to speak to that dog naturally in
- 53:27Speaker 3: doing so. That doesn't mean and I'm not saying anything
- 53:30Speaker 3: about against purely positive trainers.
- 53:32Speaker 2: I won't.
- 53:32Speaker 3: I know a lot of them that do really well.
- 53:35Speaker 3: I'm a balanced trainer, so it's different. I'm speaking in
- 53:37Speaker 3: my experience. You need to be able to use corrections
- 53:41Speaker 3: because in the wild, naturally dogs respond to corrections. There
- 53:45Speaker 3: are corrections used, Okay. So I think when it comes
- 53:50Speaker 3: down to people being like, oh, I don't want to
- 53:52Speaker 3: correct the dog, let's just be nice. You know the
- 53:55Speaker 3: world is full of rainbows and fucking skittles. They're gonna
- 53:57Speaker 3: rain down from the clouds and I just think you
- 54:00Speaker 3: need to be as common sense as possible and use
- 54:03Speaker 3: what the dog understands. Does that make sense?
- 54:05Speaker 2: Yeah? Wow? Who? Brad Griffin is the founder and CEO

- 54:36Speaker 3: Of Randolph for the most part.
- 54:38Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you travel to someone's home.
- 54:42Speaker 3: I travel everywhere. I go to fucking Bennington.
- 54:44Speaker 2: I go to Benning. Yeah, I go to New Hampshire.
- 54:46Speaker 2: I go to Oia. What if they need me on there?
- 54:49Speaker 2: You've had some videos, some you've shared with me, some
- 54:54Speaker 2: that I've seen on your social that are remarkable, and
- 55:01Speaker 2: you've said to me, Yeah, that dog would have scared
- 55:05Speaker 2: the ship out of you and look at it now.
- 55:10Speaker 2: That's really cool man. What's that feel like for you?
- 55:14Speaker 2: When you leave, you you say good bye to this dog.
- 55:20Speaker 2: I'll see you in a couple of days, you get
- 55:23Speaker 2: in your car, real progress, like real, no bullshit, serious progress.
- 55:35Speaker 2: When you get in your car and you drive home
- 55:37Speaker 2: by yourself knowing that you've made this progress with this
- 55:43Speaker 2: this animal. How does it feel? How's it feel? You know?
- 55:47Speaker 3: It's out why you do this? It's not why. I mean,
- 55:51Speaker 3: I love working with dogs in general, but but why
- 55:54Speaker 3: I work with aggressive and reacity.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Yes, I will say it's what is that.
- 55:59Speaker 3: Third three point three percent? It's a third of it,
- 56:02Speaker 3: you know, But but the feeling of it is one
- 56:07Speaker 3: hundred percent why I do it?
- 56:08Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 56:09Speaker 3: Because I could, but I could get that same feeling
- 56:11Speaker 3: of just we're doing a little bit of leash work
- 56:14Speaker 3: with the dog, you know, just having that dog learn
- 56:16Speaker 3: under me. But when it comes to the real rehabilitation
- 56:20Speaker 3: and the real progress, nothing makes me happier. And I
- 56:24Speaker 3: had this happen to me the other day. I've had
- 56:26Speaker 3: it happen a few times, but specifically the other day.
- 56:29Speaker 3: There was a German shepherd named Clyde that I had
- 56:31Speaker 3: as a board and train, and to begin with, he
- 56:33Speaker 3: was fear aggressive, hiding behind his mom's legs, fucking nipping
- 56:38Speaker 3: at you. If you came too close all that, like
- 56:40Speaker 3: ready to ready to do what he had to do
- 56:42Speaker 3: because he was so fearful of a situation. And I
- 56:45Speaker 3: seen his mom and him walking in downtown Randolph the
- 56:49Speaker 3: other day all willy nilly, him fucking basically prancing around
- 56:53Speaker 3: because he's so good in front of other people and dyeah, yeah,
- 56:57Speaker 3: king shit, fucking tird mountain dude. Yeah yeah, that's a
- 57:03Speaker 3: that's a great feeling. Yeah, yeah, that is so cool. Yeah,
- 57:07Speaker 3: I gotta have you checked the videos recently. No, So
- 57:10Speaker 3: I got a little Boston Terior right now. This is
- 57:14Speaker 3: just funny, But I got a little Bostonia right now
- 57:16Speaker 3: named Lasso, and he's he's he gets excited. Dominant is
- 57:21Speaker 3: what it's called. So when he's over stimulated, he shows
- 57:24Speaker 3: dominant behavior. But his dominant behavior is to bite other
- 57:28Speaker 3: male dogs in the dick. So he's a literal dick biter. So,
- 57:33Speaker 3: so the videos that I have, you know, they're fun,
- 57:36Speaker 3: they're they're somewhat comical, but I'm I'm walking people through
- 57:40Speaker 3: what I'm doing. Lasso l A S s O. All right, Yeah,
- 57:46Speaker 3: the the most recent one. He has a Because when
- 57:50Speaker 3: you have a Boston Terrier or a Frenchy or whatever.
- 57:53Speaker 3: They're bracky cephalic, so their muzzles are really pushed in.
- 57:56Speaker 3: There is no muzzle, So to put a muzzle on
- 58:00Speaker 3: the snout that doesn't exist. You have to have a
- 58:03Speaker 3: full faced mask. So he looks like Hannibal Lecter and
- 58:06Speaker 3: the fucking thing too. So I call him doctor Dick Bier.
- 58:10Speaker 3: So we're working with doctor Dick Bier.
- 58:12Speaker 2: Here is right down your monitor. There is right there.
- 58:15Speaker 3: Yes, that's that's him. Yeah, that's the beginning of it.
- 58:19Speaker 3: When we just put the uzzo and this is him.
- 58:23Speaker 3: What you're gonna see here you can't hear the video.
- 58:26Speaker 3: What you're gonna see here is a correcting lasso for
- 58:29Speaker 3: every time he goes underneath another dog.
- 58:32Speaker 2: And the reason for that is because we want.
- 58:34Speaker 3: To get rid of the behavior altogether and streamline communication.
- 58:38Speaker 3: So we're not going to differentiate between male or female,
- 58:42Speaker 3: nor are we going to differentiate between if it looks
- 58:44Speaker 3: okay or it doesn't. Truth be told, he can lift
- 58:47Speaker 3: his little head and sniff a butt just like any
- 58:49Speaker 3: other dog. You're also gonna see me allow this tan
- 58:53Speaker 3: dog to be way more pushy than I typically ever would,
- 58:57Speaker 3: and that's because lasso exhibits typical domine of behavior as
- 59:00Speaker 3: well that I wanted to correct for now, at the
- 59:03Speaker 3: end of this, you're gonna see lasso on e caller.
- 59:06Speaker 3: You're gonna see him get over stimulated, and you're gonna
- 59:09Speaker 3: see that immediately he goes in for the nuts boop.
- 59:12Speaker 3: I use stimulation. He avoids the conflict on all great
- 59:16Speaker 3: session today. That's why you call her can be so
- 59:20Speaker 3: beneficial if you use it the right way, because in
- 59:24Speaker 3: an instant like that.
- 59:25Speaker 2: You can't be paying You have to be paying attention
- 59:27Speaker 2: to that happens fast.
- 59:29Speaker 3: Dude, milliseconds. Like if if if he didn't have that
- 59:33Speaker 3: muzzle on and I wasn't paying attention, that dog would
- 59:36Speaker 3: have been castrated and fucking point two. And I mean,
- 59:41Speaker 3: like lasso, he does damage. Like this is no joke
- 59:43Speaker 3: just because he's a little dog. He'll fucking do real damage,
- 59:47Speaker 3: like vet trip damage.
- 59:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 59:50Speaker 3: So it's a real thing.
- 59:53Speaker 2: And right now just seems to be kind of dominant.
- 59:57Speaker 2: Just yeah, I'll let y'all sniff me.
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: Well, he's very tense. If you look at his body language,
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: he's super tense. Yeah, And this is why we didn't
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: differentiate on whether it looks okay or not, because it's
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: it is within milliseconds, and to be honest with you,
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: the behavior itself just isn't fucking okay anyway. For a
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: typical dog going underneath to sniff a wiener or whatever
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: it may be is fine, But for him, we can't
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: allow it at all. He can sniff a butt like normal,
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: but we can't allow this because the battle instinctual behavior
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: is already hard enough. So we have to streamline communication
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: and show him that just one singular behavior isn't okay
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: all the way around.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, it happened so fast that you had to
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: show it and slow them mo. Yeah.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: Literally, I couldn't. I couldn't do commentary over it because
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: it was so fast. Yeah, so I had to slow
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: it down.
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: That's fascinating. And you know, these dogs need to they
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: need to learn how to socialize with other dogs. They
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: need to be they need to understand that other dogs
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: when they see them, whether they're on a hiking trail
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: or anywhere, that other dogs are curious and they're gonna
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: come up and be sniffing them, and you're allowed to
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: sniff them too. But everybody's got to play by the
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: rules and be respectful. Yeah, so you're absolutely right, JD.
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: With this guy, it's a little bit different though in
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: the sense of when he's with females, and for the
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: most part, if he's not super excited, he doesn't have
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: that excited dominance.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: He's fine.
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: Okay, So with females all together, he's fine. He can socialize,
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: he plays with him, he jumps, he does all the
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: fucking things. But with males, if he gets excited, he
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: goes right to the testosterone, which is super dominance driven.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: Wow, so he does.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: He is technically socialized, but he doesn't know how to
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: use impulse control and avoid conflicts. So that's what we're
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: working on with him.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: This is so so cool. I'm gonna show everybody your page, okay,
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: so that we can all see this. Please hop on
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: follow have a look at this. This is Brad Griffin
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: from Confident Canine right here in Central from at Randolph
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: and you'll travel, but folks can also come to you.
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: They also can. Yeah, they can come to me. We can.
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: We can meet wherever. You got a park that you
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: like to go to, not dog parks. I despise dog
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: parks for multiple reasons. But if you got a place
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: that you go a hiking trail something like that. I'll
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: meet you there, a river, I'll meet you there. Your house,
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: I'll meet you there, or you can come to mine.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: You got some uh some real nice comments from from
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: your customers too, some great testimony. Awesome, dude, this is
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: really fascinating stuff. Please, if you get a chance, tell
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: my eleven year old the pros and cons to certain breeds.
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: I try to a little bit about the uh uh,
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: the great team didn't work?
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: Okay, would you just tell? Would you tell her? I
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: don't know enough about them to even.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Say that they don't They don't live very long. Okay,
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: bottom line, Yeah, that's true with a lot of big dogs. Uh.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: Let's see comment here. I have a beagle male and
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: I have a female dogs. How do I get him
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: to get used to female dogs?
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: What? Well, I'd have to know the behavior he's exhibiting.
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: Typically I do an evaluation first to see this, then
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: we make a game plan on Huh. So I can't
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: tell you how to get your dog used to it.
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: It'd be mostly just how do you do a good
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: introduction to begin with? If we were basing it off that,
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: But if there's something being stirred up with sexual energy
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: or something like that. I'd have to see it to
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: be able to help you.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: Unfortunately, this Gianesi is also saying, I have a dog
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: that has ADHD. Can a dog have ADHD?
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd have to hear specifics on that too, But
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: she probably just means full of energy, doesn't want to
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: pay attention, I would assume, is what she's saying. Yeah
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: kind of, yeah, right exactly. So with that, you would
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: want to make sure that they have the proper mental
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: and physical outlets, drain that energy as much as possible,
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: get the dog into what's called a following state of
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: mind pack mentality, and then try to do some impulse training.
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: If you have a dog like that, they don't need
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: help getting excited, right, they don't. They don't need play.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: What they need is help decompressing, decompressing and yeah, yeah,
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: and just being able to to in what we call
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: in the training world, be okay with doing nothing. That's
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: what they need help with, is being okay to sell
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: southe and do nothing. So a dog like that, that's
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: where you'd want to focus, But you want to drain
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: the energy first, otherwise it's gonna be the same thing.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: There's so many. There's so many of us that need
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: uh something in our lives, whether it's a companion animal
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: of any form, cat, dog, we're thinking about a dog.
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: We're not sure what size, what breed, is a mixed breed,
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: something that we want to stay away from? Do we
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: go to the humane society? Do we contact a breeder?
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: What do we do? Uh? These are these are all
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: real huge questions. This is not the kind of thing
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: where I think I'll you know, you go to the
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: store and you buy a dog and if it doesn't
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: work out, you return it. It just doesn't work like
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: I'm not trying to laugh.
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: But in the rescue world it happens all the time,
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: and it just doesn't work like that.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: There's not enough space. You need to really educate yourself,
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: do your due diligence and find out what exactly what
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: it is that you need and is this a good match.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: Maybe it's a lapdock that you need. Maybe maybe you're
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: out running hiking trails all the time.
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'll give you another example.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: Uh, you see a lot of malanwas now Belgian Malinois. Right,
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: you see them more than ever because they fucking look cool.
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: And police training videos and military videos, but people don't
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: actually sit with themselves and say, am I doing fucking
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: Navy seal type training? Can I actually have this dog?
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: Like this dog is gonna be like Spider Man on
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: the fucking walls. Man, and I don't have the energy
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: to take. But a lot of times people like, that
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: dog's fucking awesome. I'm gonna be awesome. I'm gonna have
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: this dog and it's gonna be awesome with the top down.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, man. Yeah, But
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: you know, here's the thing. If you are active and
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: you do live a lifestyle to where you can train
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: that dog, but it'd be a fucking amazing dog. That
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: thing will be an acrobat.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: What's your opinion on pit pulls?
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: Fucking love them, dude, I love them. It's the same
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: thing goes back to the training.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: There are things that breeds are particularly inherently prone to. Uh.
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: Pit bulls are prone to aggression. Any any bully breed
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: are prone to aggression. That's why the training has to
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: start from a young age.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Are you talking actual neurology, yeah, brain chemistry.
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: Yes, of the of the actual marriage, yes, correct in
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: the brain, yes, the firing of neurons or whatever the fuck. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: so so, but yes, they're prone to inherent aggression. So
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: that's why a lot of times when you have not
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: even just an untrained pit bull, you may not have
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: trained properly in that one specific behavioral area, or there
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: could be uh issues in the wiring of the brain
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: because the dogs are overbred at the brain or whatever.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: But a lot of times what you see is the
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: dog just isn't trained properly, and so those inherent behaviors
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: come out more prominently over time. And and then you
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: see the pit bull that's on the end of the leash,
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: which is creating more tension, which just escalating the situation,
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: and the dog looks like he wants to kill another dog.
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: So if you start with training from a young age,
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: you're gonna be way better off. That's when you see
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: the pit bulls that are all lovey, all smiles.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: So I've seen that. Yeah, I have had some loving
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: up on a pit bull. One time. This dog was
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: was just like yours, I mean, just full of kisses.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: Ye can you pan over to her by the way,
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: I can? He says, just like your dog. Typically, my
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: dogs are not like this. My Rottweilers are very different,
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: high energy. But this girl's just snoozing.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: But it's amazing though, I mean kissing and loffing and
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: bubbah with this big fat white head full of muscle. Yeah.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of there's a lot of
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: misconception and myths that go with every breed, but pitbulls, Rottweilers,
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Doverman's all the the high energy guardian military breeds get
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: the biggest wrap, the biggest stigma, But it's true to
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: all breeds, dude, all breeds. So box yeah, boxers, they're
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: high energy, yeah yeah, but they're like neurotic and that's
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: coming from personal experience. They're very neurotic. They're great dogs,
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: they're just spazes, you know, so they need training for that.
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: Almost you know, had one, Yeah, so you know what
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: I'm talking about. Beautiful Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're fucking awesome dogs.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: Don't get it twisted. I love all dogs. There's just
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: some that great Danes there are neurotic too. They're sporadic.
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: Same thing. I can tell your daughter that too, if.
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: You please, please doo. Yeah, you know. And and then
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: there's the little circus dogs, you know, the miniature poodles
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: and and all that. I mean, the list goes on,
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: it does.
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: I will say, uh, the little dogs, Boston Terriers, Frenchies,
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: all that. If you find the right way to communicate
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: with them, they are the most obedient, amazing dogs, dude,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: they really are.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: I have we Sherilyn and Lily, and I have a
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: soft spot for Frenchies.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: Yeah, like bad, my old lady brought a couple on here,
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: didn't she.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Do you remember?
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: Yeah, French Fry, French Fry f What was the other one,
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: not French dip?
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: It was French dip?
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: Was it French dip?
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: Do you do you remember?
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: I remember the Frenchies? Yeah, one was.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: Remember the black one that was in my arm? Yes, show.
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't see I don't remember. I saw the show,
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: but I don't remember the conversation. But I remember the dogs.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: Yeah, killed me, killed me. And then she was going
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: in for the for the for the juckular. She's like,
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: they don't have a family.
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: Yeah, they're up for adoption.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, but are they available right now?
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: And she was like yep. I was like, fuck, gotcha. Yeah,
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: I mean it's just beautiful dogs, beautiful dogs.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: Yeah, they are good. You know, friend, it's just like
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: any other dog. Man, if there's no training involved, that
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: can get out of hand. But but they're they're amazing.
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: I love French shoes.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: I love.
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: Yes, they're cute. I don't I don't listen. I'm not
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: condoning the way that they're bred. I fucking hate when
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: a dog is bred for specific set of looks that
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: don't keep their well being in mind. But but they're here,
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: they exist. Are they cute?
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: Fuck?
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: Yeah? But they're also great when you find a way
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: to connect with them and trying to.
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: Be more than it's got to be more than what
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: they look like. Yeah, you gotta think about do they shed?
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: Are you know? Are they too big for the bed?
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Are they going to sleep in your bed? Are they?
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: Are they? You gotta think about all of these things.
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: Man agreed, Yep, Yeah, we definitely didn't think about it.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: Are they gonna fit in the bed.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: When we got the Yeah? And you know, I mean,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: and then there's some of us work who are like,
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: absolutely not, We'll never sleep in the bed and that,
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: and that's fine.
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: I think it depends this is me as a as
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: a as a trainer. I think it depends on the dog,
- 1:12:18Speaker 3: their personality and how they act with the situation. A
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: lot of times you'll hear trainers say no, the dog
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: shouldn't be in the bed with maybe like a cane
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: corso or a Roddi or something like that because they have,
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: you know, guarding or territorial behaviors. You might get bid
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: if you try to come in or something like that.
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: But you know, my roddis they're not like that. They
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: can be in bed all day. So there might be
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: some dogs I recommend to somebody they don't sleep in
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: the bed for particular reasons. Yeah, specific reasons. But then
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: there's some I'm like, dude, fucking have them in your
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: bed if you want. Who gives a ship I'm not
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: your typical trainer in that aspect. Wow, I'm not your
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: typical trainer all the way fucking around to be.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: Honest, one, uh, I love that. I love that. One question.
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: What's up with the the pinch collar?
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: Oh so the pron coller. So she's a poler and
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: she was trained on the pinch right on the pron collar,
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: so she just responds well to it, So I just
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: keep the pron collar going. At this point, I could
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: potentially move her to a slip leader a flat buckle.
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: But what's the point of having her possibly pull on
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: the line when we've done all the training. We have
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: to have her in a good heel position and shit
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: like that.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: No dog should be choking, gasping for air trachia cut off. Agreed.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: We need to get to a point where we can
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: have control of our dog without them gasping for breath.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Can you pan in? Can you zoom? Uh? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: I cat so.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: I want need to zoom right here with my where
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: my fingy? My finger is right here?
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, yeah, so right here.
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: I don't know if they can see it either way.
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: Right here is what's called a trachea separator.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: A pron collar is literally designed to sit off of
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: the trachia and not damage the neck when you have
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: a strong polar Okay, that's what that plate right there
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: is for. Okay, the trachia separator.
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: Turn it there like this, yeah, right, yep, right there, yep.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, so the trachia separators right here. But anyway,
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: on pron callers, it's like the only collar ever to
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: be designed, and they may have designed ones after it,
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: but to begin with, this was the only collar in
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: existence that you could use that wouldn't damage the neck
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: of the dog and sit directly on the trachia. Flat
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: buckle collars, uh, slip leads, all of them, they end
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: up resting right here majority of the time and can
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: damage the neck. This is not one of those.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: So a lot of people look at a pron collar
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: because it looks barbaric. But truth be told, if you
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: get the right pron collar, which I recommend Herm Springer
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: all the way around. He's the guy that designed them,
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: so it took its his name throughout time. All these
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: prongs are rounded, these edges are round it and if
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: you fit the prong correctly to your dog, there's not
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: gonna be any punctual lacerations, not gonna hurt the dog.
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: Everything is designed for it to be safe for the
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: dog and have the safest outcome for the dog.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: Amazing. Yep. I just put the link up there for
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: the Yah, the Herm Spring, the Herm Springer. Nice dude.
