Hello, Robert! Please do this again with him. This was a fantastic podcast!

Eric is great. His comment about building a dog’s character and confidence is so right on. Robert’s comment about martial arts and dog training makes so much sense as well.

The Mals and Corsos seem to get all the hype these days but I much prefer Dobermans for personal protection!

They are the ig trend, but the malinois hype is following the same pattern the Doberman hype had in the 60s and 70s and just like the Doberman from then if you get a malinois now 90% of the people can't handle the dog

I like the Belgian Malinois, Akita, German Shepherd and Cane Corso. My brother had a Doberman but I have no experience with the breed. I dogsit my brother's Malinois, his current dog, and in the past his previous dogs, an Akita, and a Mastiff breed. My niece has a Cane Corso which I like and her sister has German Shepherds. I also like labradors. My brother is sharing his Malinois with me when he needs a night out or a break. His dog is very much into his owner but he (male dog) settles for me when he is gone. He obeys commands pretty well although he is only a year old.

A bit late, but I just want to say that I discovered Robert a year after I adopted my Shepherd mix puppy and man, how I wish I discovered him sooner. Your content is great, but the passion and care you have for your dogs, it’s amazing. This past year, many people decided to get dogs out of convenience and having someone like you to provide content especially for working dog breeds is appreciated and very important. Thank you for all you do!

this was an absolutely outstanding episode.

Robert, you took your channel to the next level. Thank you so much for covering protection sports training. The interview hit all the marks. pure gold. I'll be tuning in again. Cannot wait for the next conversation with Eric Shearer.

I never miss a video here. I used to love assisting my best friend in the 90s, doin protection work.

I loved this interview I love hearing about breeds characteristics in bite work, hopefully sometime soon Robert will do a podcast on LGD’s in a modern home environment or just his experience training them I’d love to hear his point of view

I am learning a great deal from these conversations. I get a useful piece or two of information that's advancing my dog training (as an every day dog owner). Keep them coming!

I love the components of what drives the dog to do the bite work, pressure and prey drive. Good stuff

Keep them coming! Great content Robert!

Watched a Shutzen competition 80s.. as far as the attacking part...the Rottweiler took the show! Amazing bite growling the whole time, impressive! The German Shepherds were better all around...except on the bite! I understood the Rottweiler was not kept as a K-9 in the 80s..for the fact that it was too hard to call off the Rottweilers. I must add...there was one! red nose pit... that was very... impressive!

When I got my dog handed to me because people couldn't handle him as a puppy, I was told he was a Malinois or German Shepherd mix with Labrador. Turns out he's a German shepherd pitbull mixed with Husky and American Bulldog. With a little bit of Australian Cattle Dog thrown in. Definitely has a fight Drive as described like the bandogges

Nice interview. I love this topic especially protection and pray drive issues

OMG, yes. My Malinois always has to have something in her mouth after someone has come to the door. I had a lab mix and really disappointed it took a while for him to mature. But he really was one of the dogs ever.

Famous last words spoken as the dog is tearing the victim's limb, "Stop Resisting!, Stop Resisting!". What creature on this planet would allow the continued bites without any resistance? Dead people tend to stop resisting.

5:30 and 20:30 some truth bomb's great to hear real dogmen that have trained both types of dogs tell you the difference between a real protection bandog and a sport animal they are not the same. historically the sheperd was just that a sheperd...

The only US breeding program with dogs passing tier 1 selection and having been placed in tier 1 SOCOM units are xDutch Shepherds.

This is amazing because i scream and go STOP, OW, bad dog! While he's biting me! He gets into it more, when i do. I let him pull me down and he starts shaking on me! I have to give him the stop command in German, several times before he disengages! We play tug o war every day. It's his favorite activity next to riding in the car. He's a roadwolf now! Very good info here guys! Ive been doing it for a while now with GSDs but this Crazy Calupoh is a whole nother animal!

Shepherds are resource guard dogs. That's what they were bred for. They will chase off but not beyond the parameter. This keeps them from being baiting into a group of predators. They also have an off switch. Herding dogs are your collies, etc. Different traits and different skillsets. Cattle dogs are similar to herding dogs but were bred to kill large predators to protect the herd.

Dangerous @ 25:30, as the Malinois I once owned, he has since passed, was a leg biter, so he would have bit his leg HARD and it was hard to get him off.

I think sport dogs get sold short for being "sleeve happy"; when discussing whether or not they'll respond correctly in a personal protection situation. I do believe that, in a situation where the animal immediately senses danger, smells adrenaline/fear from it's owner; the dog will properly respond in all likelihood without being given the designated command. My experience is with GSD's; they're loyal & protect naturally. Working titles, Schutzhund/IPO/IGP merely enhances their capabilities.

Obviously you don’t know. The real original APBT wasn’t bred to be human aggressive actually just the opposite. Now days people with your thinking doesn’t know the true history of the breed and definitely doesn’t know what a real apbt looks like. All the stats and whatever new out there is over 50% false. Real apbts are on chains in the country where they will not be seen. Big heads and jaws do not equal apbt.

I had a GSD that would always bypass the suit or sleeve and go for the flesh , a lot of the times he would just go for the head.

Most people couldn't identify an American Pit Bull Terrier. They think Staffs and Bullys are Pit Bull dogs. They are not! The only breed of dog that has the POTENTIAL to have zero flight response..is the true American Pit Bull Terrier. Thats why they are the catalyst in most bandog programs. Pain doesnt deter a good Pit Bull dog.

Miss the late 80’s early 90’s on attack training as I had dobies and were well trained on/off leash attack. The out and hold , plus attack I believe is the way. I saw first hand how it works. They would attack bite until I got there and out hold while he’s bleeding never taking there eyes off the perpetrator. Now it’s bark and hold why? If you want a dog for protection? Then follow through! That’s why you train them to be protective dogs! Sad really.

2500-2600 What a great build and weight

It is one thing to train dogs like this for police or military....however there are way too many folks breeding, raising, and training other household breeds like this and the pups they do not believe have the proper attitude by 10 or 12 weeks of age they sell as pets. I am the recipient of a Boxer pup and her parents were bred with this type of background. My girl has been a challenge to train as a housepet from day one. In comparison to my previous Boxer that I acquired 12 yrs ago who was bred in a laid back , family setting. Please be careful with your breedings and do not sell pups as household pets that have these backgrounds. I am a dog trainer and have been able to work with my girl. However, other pups may not be as fortunate and could end up in shelters.

No it does not have to have pit in it,but the pit is the modern bold/bulldog,Bandog=working small masiff type that catch hog,bear,beast and protect family from man or beast it is the cross it is the dog that will do the functions of protect family from man or beast and catch man or beast too

You should interview Lee Robinson over at American Sentinel Cainine. He has the highest quality bandog program around. Very athletic, sporting oriented bandogs

How much does Robert Cabral charge to train a dog?

My family has always had and raised pits my entire life we have always called fight and hunting drive "game" but maybe that's just what people in Texas call it our hog dog's were called "dead game" meaning just insanely game basically.

@victorygarden556

Game dogs choose to fight in losing fights, like against hogs larger than themself while alone. Dead game means a dog that will grab a big hog, get killed, and then it’s found still on the hog. Few breeds are game except American pitbull terrier, Jagd Terriers, and maybe some select mastiffs like working Boerboels.

What about dobbies ?

My Calupoh looks like the black dog in the video. But he has no discipline. He likes to bite, but not disengage. He's part wolf. He is definitely wired different from GSDs and Malinois!

Then build his/her confidence slowly a little bit at a time. A family members dog would leave the room if I vacuumed or if i had the dog on a leash and wanted to role the trash can to the road he would get scared. But yet he lives to do schutzhund work. I worked with him and now i can get him to attack the trash can or vacuum if i want. But he will also leave it when told and wont bother either one on his own. But he def doesn’t just try to all out run anymore.

The lack of drive and health issues is why you don't see that many dobermans doing the work I got a buddy of mines who is trying to produce good true to temperment with good health dobermans

I play hide & seek with my German Shepherd pet dog--the FIRST part looks like that video shown halfway through!😂 Oh Lord, I understood & expected that the Police Dog was muzzled--but you COULDN'T clearly see the muzzle until the end...if Alin can get around to it, might be nice to flash a disclaimer that there IS a muzzle before that piece of film. Wow. These dogs are so special. I can't help but worry that they aren't universally respected & treated fairly & properly in all Police Departments. Military Dog training was HORRIBLE in Vietnam era. The dogs were just as likely to attack our forces as "the enemy". Dogs weren't even brought home. I suspect some old school Police Training might not be much better. There's a lot of nuance--just cuz that attack "looks" very scary--like this handler says, it's an art form--I'm sure his dogs are treated fairly & with respect. I just shudder to think of ANY of these dogs being placed unnecessarily in harm's way.

Then he would release and come around again. And again. ... If I backed into a corner he would not attack me. "Tear and Release was his game." ..... I should note this dog was the runt of the litter and the only dog I have lived with that never bit another human.

It depends on what you consider a pit, if you are talking about ADBA American pit bull terriers, or the umbrella term pitbull. There are probably dogs that are labeled pitbulls that can track just as well as a German shepherd. If you are talking about purebred American pit bull terriers, then no probably not. Not because they can't smell as well as a German shepherd can. A pit is more likely to get distracted by things happening in the environment. How good does the dog need to be able to track? Locate the wounded deer half a mile away after it crossed the creek, good? Or find a raccoon in a tree while it's so dark that you can't see your feet, good? Neither breed can track, like a Bloodhound or a CoonHound.

To biggest issue I see most when training dogs for actual protection, is most of the decoys and trainers have limited or never been in real life situations where they've needed to deploy a dog. So they make real nice quality sport biting dogs which can take a ton of pressure, but won't actually do the job for real.
