I work in a rescue and hearing owners say they'd abandon or put down a difficult dog is infuriating because I see it constantly Sad to say when you work in a rescue you often lose faith in humans...

I agree! I had Great Danes for many years and helped with Dane Rescue. One thing I remember being told was the time when many Danes are rehomed is between the ages of 12 to 18 months. They can become hooligans if you let them!

Exactly! I had one, and he needed AT LEAST 2 hours a day! I also did obedience training with him as well as agility, and he was so hungry to learn and exercise. Why is nobody training their dogs? That's the first thing you should do when you bring your dog home.

It is just amazing to see all these people constantly saying "Stop" or "No" to their dogs without realizing that unless the dog has been trained that the command "Stop" or "No" has a specific meaning, it means as much as "Wuf, Wuf" to the dog. And at the same time these people are happily reinforcing the behaviour they want the dog to stop. Mhmm ...

@@Speurneuscosmo So true. The right command and the right voice need to go hand in hand. Though the dog needs clear boundaries, and consistency in enforcing it. And that needs training. If owners redraw the boundaries every 5 seconds, how is the dog to know where the boundaries lie?

I can't believe they even considered putting down a dog for barking and jumping up because of separation anxiety. When they said she might need to be put down, I thought she might have been viciously attacking them or something. Problem solved with a tiny bit of training...

Working in a shelter I've seen a lot of these scenarios and some even sillier

Why on earth is the first solution to put an animal to sleep? Very few vets will now put a healthy dog down. She needs to be taught boundaries. Which is course is what David often uses.

Should be called owners behaving very badly.

These people do not know how lucky they are. We rescued our rotti 2years ago when he was 9months he had been in a compound for 6 months, we think he had it really bad. He is now 50kg he is not a loving friend but he is very loyal. He comes every where with me, but only on our property. He is reactive towards people (but not as bad now as before) but he is very reactive towards dogs. He also jumps up at anyone coming into our house. We have 5 grandsons and our granddaughter was 3 days ago. I have been pulled over and into the road twice. I'm 73 not as strong as I used to be. I'm watching these videos in the hope it will help. I would love to be able to take him out during daylight hours but I'm up at 0530hrs to walk him. Shame as he's a beautiful dog

Reactivity is usually due to fear or stress being unsure how to handle it Walk him in quieter areas to help him stay calm Soon as he starts to pull stop until he looks at you then praise when he goes to you reward and walk on Another option is to walk the other way or even guide him into a figure of eight when he does that To stop him jumping up turn away and cross your arms so you look boring to him He's likely not been well socialised hence the reactivity I'm studying dog training and behaviour to eventually run my own business I've used these methods on my dog whos a reactive rescue and they work well It's not an overnight fix there is no quick fix but with practice he will improve

Do you know how far away from other dogs you have to be before he ceases to be reactive to other dogs? It's called the behavioural threshold. If you can find a large park or sports field where other people walk their dogs but far enough away so as not to bother your dog, you can gradually get him used to walking at a distant from other dogs, reward him etc, & then gradually get him a little closer each day (or week!) so he sees there is nothing to be afraid of. It's a very slow process but worth working at! Ideally if you know someone with another dog who can walk at a distance away from yours, you can organize it regularly. This is how rescue centres do it.

dogs behaving badly is so cool

They don’t look like they walk enough miles to give him the exercise he needs, does he get to play fetch? Seriously high energy dogs. They need owners who can meet their daily exercise needs as well as mental stimulation.

Those two very gentle book-readers aren't the right owners for an active visla. This dog needs a lot of exercise. 😮

I wonder if they did any research at all on the breed. And I noticed he is not neutered

It's theppoplebotthe dog 😢

Why doesn't this trainer ever mention exercise? Most bad behaviour comes from not having enough exercise and mental stimulation . I see loads of dogs on his programme just pent up with a build up of energy . I wait each series for him to advise , but just nothing is ever mentioned about giving them an active life each time i watch .

@m6666

Totally agree with you. The Vizsla needs at least 2 hours of exercise a day, and not just walking but running as well. People never do any research on breeds that could be suitable for them. Having had one when I was in my 20's I would never suggest anyone over 45-50 to get a Vizsla especially if you live a sedentary lifestyle. They are Gun dogs and prefer to run all day. The behaviour in the kitchen told me that he's filled with pent up energy and is bored out of his brain.

@m6666 I am glad that I'm not alone with these feelings. This programme just winds me up now, and I have stopped watching it because of the frustration . Graham, the trainer, glosses over the behavioural problems but never sorts out the root cause, which is, in most cases boredom and lack of exercise both physically and mentally. I see so many dogs have a life of never having their needs met, people thinking a 15 minute walk around the block is adequate and the rest of the time living a life of confinement without the opportunity to be just a dog and run off their pent-up energy with consistent long walks and ball games etc Graham has the opportunity to educate these people and a platform to teach all his viewers the importance of plenty of exercise, but it never happens. They say boredom is the biggest punishment you can give a dog, and I totally agree.

45-50 years is not old. The most owners who join championships with their hunting dogs are that age or older. It’s not the age(accept when you are over 70 and risk more health issues) but the way you know the breed. What your dog needs and very importent…can you give your dog what they need? It’s like… my point of view, you get children and don’t send the to school to learn.

@Speurneuscosmo I agree with you, but there are people who start to slow down at that age. In fact, I've met quite a few, and for some, that's when they start to have health problems, so they get a dog to keep them company, and there's only a small number who take into account that the dog still requires exercise and not just laying on the couch with them all day. Then, of course, there's the other group who will get involved with some kind of training group to teach their dogs agility or nose work, etc. Sorry, I generalised without specifying.
