BDT and UCA are the only two Channels that I know of that have high quality educational videos that use CLIENTS' DOGS AS PROOF, unlike majority of dog trainers who use their own trained dogs in their videos. But the problem with UCA is that Tom Davis clearly lacks knowledge and experience of hands on dog training (like Robert Cabral, Richard Heinz, and Cesar Millan), and oftentimes he repeats what he has already explained again and again and again. Though I do like his content and am subscribed to his Channel, I rarely recommend him to other people. Zack George? He ain't a dog trainer. He's just a KZreadr who makes dog content. He's obviously doing it for the money. It infuriates me that when you search dog training on KZread he always pops up. Zack George makes Victoria Stilwell (the dog killer) look like a saint. At least Stilwell doesn't lie to her audience and scam them.

Pathetic that this channel doesn't have millions of subs. This guy Joel so deserves it. What a boss!

For those who think this is unfair, this is for correcting a specific bad character trait in a dog that could cause physical harm to another dog, a person, a small child, or even the dog itself. This is to correct something in that dog that needs correcting before something bad happens. This isn't an innocent dog being bullied by a bigger dog. This is a needed attitude adjustment that can give this dog a better life.

Wow, the level of intelligence Bosco showed at the end when he looked at you for a queue and then just "knew". You can see it, he glances at you and then just knows that he needs to be the boss, assert dominance in the situation and win the battle. Not violently but authoritatively and it just shows. How incredible that a moment like this was captured so beautifully on video.

In use to have a rescue 65kg Akita, he was my best gentle boy who helped to teach loads of dogs, shame he only lived till he was 7yrs, i only had him for 4yrs.. the best 4yrs of his life RIP Buddy x

My 8-year-old Rotty/Chow-Chow mix is always teaching my young (now 15 months old) Aussie/Lab mix these kinds of lessons. No bloodshed or marks. They still play well together. Perfect.

It's crazy to see the difference between Bosco and Prince... Makes me so sad that Bosco isn't with us anymore 😔

Thanks for the content! I appreciate your energy and how you treat the animals. It's quite educational and interesting, and that's coming from a person that doesn't have a dog and neither is planning to have one. Your love towards animals just shines through

I bet Joel is also an excellent parent ... and knows a lot of great approaches to raising great kids.

I could never have trained my problem dogs without the help of my other dog. It's just SO effective. In the 1980s Harvard psychology professor Irene Pepperberg wrote quite a bit about "Model/Rival" training in her studies of Alex and Griffin, the African Gray Parrots.

I am so glad to have all The knowledge you give on your channel. Thank you 🙏

wow, lesson not only for dog, but for us.

Warning I wrote a book here 😂 This year I ended up with littermate brothers. Husky Lab mixes with twin white markings. One is black like his husky mom, and one is reddish brown like his chocolate lab dad. They're amazing dogs. The family I got them from had recently rescued the husky and was told she was spayed. Their chocolate lab supposedly came from show line genetics, so they kept him intact. They were very unprepared to raise puppies. The mama dug a den under their garage and had 11 puppies! By the time I found their post, all but my 2 boys had been adopted. The pups were being fed puppy food until she ran out and didn't think regular dog food would do them harm. They were 12 weeks old and their tummies were so bloated. They acted like they were starving. Mama had stopped letting them drink at about 10 weeks, and you could see how hungry they were. Just constantly searching for a crumb. I couldn't leave either of them there. They lived in the backyard, had no concept of potty training, and had little to no manners. I knew they would be work, but after I met their parents, I had to have atleast one of them. The parents were so friendly, loving, and kind. I wanted to take them home too! These people lived in the middle of the high desert, very secluded community, nothing but sand and cacti. They didn't have a lot, but you could tell those dogs were loved as best they could be loved. The beautiful chocolate lab papa dog was let inside and immediately came over and gave me a chest to chest hug, and so gently put his head on my shoulder for about 5 seconds( I was sitting on their living room floor) then wiggled away to say hi to the 5 kids. Then the husky mama came in and sat in front of me, gave me her paw, and just starred into my eyes 🥹 like she was asking me to take good care of her boys. It was so sweet. Apparently, the parents had begun to get annoyed with their antics and were ready for them to go LOL The pups were pretty crazy. The day I got them home, they saw grass for the first time. They'd only known sand and dirt. They weren't sure about it and barked at it for a few seconds 😆 wasn't until I walked on it that they immediately followed and eventually went potty. I was ready with the treats! Lol For where they came from, they amazed me at their drive to please. They've been a dream to train. They pick up on stuff so fast. They're almost scary smart 😅 for the first few months I entertained the thought of adopting one out because two puppies IS A LOT, but I was so attached to them and they were attached to each other. I fell in love with both of them, and my fate was sealed. One pup, Bandit, (his name was unintentionally spot on for his personality 😂) began displaying resource guarding at about 5 months old. I made the mistake of giving them free access to toys, allowing them to destroy cardboard boxes, and giving them plushy dog beds that they always chewed up and defluffed. I didn't immediately correct him when he started taking toys from his brother. He'd hoard everything. He would take toys and hide them like a squirrel. He hid them under dressers, between couch gaps, and around corners. He loved to ensure there was a toy hidden away in every room in the house. Even the garage. He's also a pannty and sock thief since day one. He's found socks I thought I lost 😂 I swear you could put him in an empty room and he'd find something! He's got so much tenacity! Then there's Woody, the nervous lovebug. He was the runt of the litter. He's barely interested in tug of war, even when his brother isn't there, he only want cuddle and run around with me. They're polar opposites sometime, but they both love to play rough so they're perfect playmates. So after the resource guarding began, I took all the toys away and only give them four to play with and rotate close to daily. I also started making them kongs everyday like you recommended and that's really helped with their separation anxiety when kenneled apart from one another. I also started a potentially dangerous practice of putting my hand in their bowls while they're eating to drop some string cheese, baby carrots, or meat trimmings so they associated hands in their bowl with good stuff being given. When they were little I would randomly pick up their bowls while they were eating, making them sit again, and then giving it back with praise. We never had an issue. That practice has made me pretty confident I won't draw back a nub 😅 My downs syndrome brother lives with me and while he for the most part leaves the animals alone, I've made it a habit to train my dogs to tolerate a lot just incase. Anyways, Bandit has chilled out a lot and has gotten more respectful to people, his brother, and the cat. He used to shove his nose so deep in my cats cheeks😄 I had to stop myself from laughing before correcting him and telling him to leave it. You've been very helpful in training my pups! They're almost 9 months old, and I feel much more prepared for the hurdles that are to come. Thank you!

I am having this issue but the “puppy” is a 2 year old 65lb pit mix and my best boy that is well behaved (the Bosco) is an 11 year old 19lb chihuahua / boxer mix. My pit mix will go after chihuahua mix when guarding. The size difference and dominance difference is what I need to see instead of two larger dogs.

Excellent

Omg Bosco is awesome ❤️ xo

Awesome videos! I’m going to try to implement a lot of these. But have you worked with a Great Pyrenees? I’ve heard from a lot of people to use positive techniques with this breed and not making him realize I’m the Alpha? Because he’s growling quite a bit and showing resource guarding with food

Thank you so much for your work! Now, my Parson Russel is able to wach me and stoped he to go mad on other dogs and cats 🙏

Bosco was like .....I've been robbed.....

Boscoe is impressive!!

Aw his little stick 🥺😂

What would your approach be to in order to lessen resource guarding? My dog used to share toys fine in a group of dogs early on, but then came along a family member's super-toy-possessive and rambunctious youngster and I allowed her to "tell him off" when he constantly tried to take control of any and all toys (I thought I was doing him a favour; to stop him being 'rude'). Same thing with my cats ... when they've taken an interest in her fish skin chew, I've always thought it fine to let her growl at them to warn them off. Unfortunately, now she is really resource-guardy and is not trustworthy with a ball or toy if another dog approaches to play (share) at the park. Instead, I have to remove the ball - she's okay with me doing that - and then she is fine to socialise and play chase. She has always socialised well with other dogs - apart from the more recent resource guarding. Later this year I'll be getting a 2nd dog (puppy), and I so want them to play happily together and get off on the right foot. The last thing I want is for her to frighten the youngster on day one once the toys come out, or do similar if approached while chewing a fish skin ... so how do I prevent this? Or is it even a good idea to prevent this? Help!

Thanks for this. If it happen how do i do? grab collar and make them sit? I have this problem too.

Bosco rocks!

videos is dope my man! xd

Can you explain what Bosco was doing when he barked at the cream? How did this behavior differentiate from resource guarding?

Point on 👏👏👏

I’ll keep scrolling up for resource/guarding. I notice my sis dog guard as his way for play/interaction/affection with humans. He is the only dog,but I’m only aware he had older siblings before we got him. He would like us to play grab/growls/forcefully eat. Much older long-tail chihuahua. I avoided him to say please just eat it and enjoy it but he still growls at me lol.

So I have a small dog and this is difficult to do because the small dog has trained the large dog or scared him rather, into not playing with anything while she’s around. Trying to get him to play or chew his own toys to teach the little one that it’s not okay to take it is difficult because from across the room all she has to do is look at him.

Retrievers are such ridiculous looking dogs with that domed head of theirs 😂 Looks like some bald dude at 3:31

Bosco the one in ten millions

I need a Bosco to check this new puppy we have 😩

I wish I would have seen this video sooner because although my dog Tilly wasn’t attacking my mother in-laws 3month old puppy, I gave my dog a correction when she tried to take the chew stick away. My thought was, 3 month old needs it because she was chewing my mother in law. What I didn’t expect was when my dog obeyed me, Emma puppy started teasing her with it. Three month old Emma walked up to Tilly with the stick in her mouth and growled softly. I felt horrible for Tilly. “Don’t try this at home.” No kidding- the situation can ricochet. How do i do better next time? Do I take my leave with Tilly or simply give her a treat too?

Q: In the beginning, you're trying to correct the behavior of trying to get another dog's possession, because of course "you can't do that" (aka that attitude will get you in trouble). Afterwards, you're allowing Bosco to exercise that behavior towards the dog you want to eliminate that behavior from. I get that having the white dog lose a battle under controlled circumstances will benefit him, regarding how dominant/pushy he will get with other dogs, but aren't there kind of mixed signals in the particular process we watched, in that you're not allowing him to express a behavior and right after that you're allowing another dog exercise that behavior on him? I would think that allowing Bosco to claim the bully stick that the white dog already owns, will lessen the effect of the "we don't do that" lesson that you tried to teach him moments ago. What am I missing? Thanks

Don't focus on the behavior so much as on the principle. The principle being that this dog needs to learn that he cannot possess anything to the extent that he expresses any signs of hostility over obtaining or retaining it. If you focus on this, then all the lessons here for this dog are consistent. You are trying to reconcile this based on the concept that all dogs must receive equal treatment and equal lessons -- and that dogs have some conscious perception of this concept of fairness and equality. This is a human idea and it can easily interfere with good dog training and good leadership decisions in multi-dog relationships and interactions. The goal is balancing the individual dog and balancing the the pack of dogs. It is common for two dogs to have opposite needs in attaining/maintaining this balance. I am certain that the dobe does not have a resource guarding problem and would give up an object without a fight.

@ByronDokimakis

3 жыл бұрын

​@@TPinesGold I understand your point. However, it's not the violation of the concept of fairness/equality that I assume would confuse the white dog - I agree that these made up mental constructs have no application in a dog's mind. It's simply the fact that dogs tend to (unconsciously) mimic one another when trying to understand and fit into the world around them - that's why it's easier to rehab a dog in a pack rather than solo. So my guess is (again, I'm not so experienced as to have a firm opinion) that allowing Bosco to come and claim the white dog's bully stick is a move that would reinforce the belief that this is an acceptable behavior, while it's the goal is to teach the opposite. P.S. Bosco may not have a resource guarding problem, per se, but he wasn't keen on giving up his bully stick when the white dog clumsily requested so and responded with (appropriate, as it seemed) aggression, to make sure he guarded his resource adequately.

I'm kind of agreeing with the first part where the bigger dog shows curiosity towards the small dog's goodies but doesn't go for it. Although it's still too close for comfort in my opinion as the small dog is most likely very aware of the bigger dog lurking around curiously. But the second half with interaction with Bosco... What's the point of letting dogs sort their things out in a standoff like that, even if it's relatively calm and peaceful? In my opinion, this kind of interaction should never even happen as it should be the human's task to make sure everybody gets to eat their stuff in peace. The latest training advice regarding preventing resource guarding is that dogs should be allowed to eat in peace and quiet without anybody taking their bowl away and put it back just because they can, or petting the dog while it's eating. Having another dog try and take food out of your mouth crosses all boundaries of respect towards another. Knowing that things like these can happen makes the whole process of enjoying a 10-star goodie stressful, unsafe, and unstable. My older dog is a softie who of course likes his chewies but doesn't do anything to protect them. So other dogs can come up to him and take his stuff and he'd be just left sad and hungry. Because of his softness and willingness to give everything to other dogs, I ended up becoming his bodyguard when he was eating around other dogs so that he wouldn't have to worry and stress over that. My younger dog came to us from a big litter and was rather rude and obnoxious. She'd try to steal anything from anyone and protect what she had dearly. This obviously wouldn't have turned out well with the softie older dog. So the first thing to teach her was that mealtime peace is non-negotiable and I nipped the smallest interest she showed towards what my older dog had. This means she couldn't practice any stealing or hovering around or even staring at someone's food from afar. In time as she learned those boundaries and respect, her own resource guarding went away basically on its own. She could rely on knowing that nobody will take away what has been given to her and the task of protecting it isn't her concern but humans'.

Why should this kind of interaction never happen? This is a realistic interaction, and is what happens naturally in animals. How is the animal going to get over resource gaurding if they never have to deal with the resource being taken away. That can lead to problems with the dog starting to guard you as a resource if they rely on you always intervening.
