Sessions with Cesar: Identifying bad dog behavior

[mexicanmindbender26]

We have a chihuahua pup, 6 months! Fearful he is! Hiding in our closet!

[mexicanmindbender26]

Loved the psycho chihuahua! Fangs and all!

[chantelylace]

My one mini schnauzer is hyperactive and fear aggressive or dominate aggressive. And my other one has fear. Not as bad as the dogs on here, she is slowly getting over it, but she still has it. I got her from a bad breeder :( she was 10 mths old when i got her. I need help!

[EAlexandra73]

Yes, I find this quite informative actually. More than half the dogs with fear related problems in this video have either pinch or choke collars on. Is that not saying something? Also, compare the body language or those fearful dogs wearing a flat collar vs a choke or pinch collar. The flat collared dogs are not hunkered down, trying to escape coming pain, they are more upright and show fear differently.

[joysmum54]

This is very informative and we should be aware of these behaviours.

i dont have a dog lol

[agenthelios1]

At 1:40 he is barking because the guy is black. No kidding . My dog will not bark at anyone else but when I have my black friend come over he goes crazy. I first noticed this when I was walking him and he wouldnt try to attack anyone, but a black couple walked by and he went crazy.

I think my dog senses that they arent human and are closer related to apes (dogs CANT be racist, they just go by instinct)

[Florey96]

@agenthelios1 Ok dude that last comment was pretty racist yourself. But anyways some dogs DO see the color difference and they will just have to get used to it.

[agenthelios1]

@Florey96 Nothing "racist" about it. Dogs are not capable of being racist, butthey are capable of identifying a non human (other animal).

Just fact. So if you dont like it go kiss a black woman and have mixed kids that way you can be politically correct.

[Florey96]

@agenthelios1 My bad i read that last part wrong, i thought You, yourself was calling them non human and closer to apes and I got a little offended. Sorry about that.

[lolosofli]

@Florey96 He was that dog has prob never saw an ape in his life. He trying to be funny on the sly...but I'm not buying it

[lolosofli]

@agenthelios1 I am mad at this comment like wow you know blacks have dogs as pets too right? My puppy is around different races and he has never indicated that he thought one was less human than the other...i mean you make it sound like dogs and apes be playing in the wild...and come on now its 2011 by now you should know humans (YES HUMANS) are the closest thing related to the apes....how the hell that aint racist? so my Asian friend look like a lion to my puppy?? Get out here with that

[Bbopjonez]

@lolosofli Don't feed ignorance. People like that will not learn.

[TheTigger305]

[TheConverseQueen26]

OMG!!! evil Chihuahua!!

[HyperNessie]

LOL! at 1:53

[bond19761]

vergüenza

[ShamrockSheik]

What is the easiest room to puppy proof? We were thinking either our exercise room because it has easy to clean floors and not many outlets or cords, or if there are easier rooms can you let me know?

[TheAghaShow]

1:54 .. That was a dog!?!?!

[SupaAmi]

Wow that was one ugly chihuaha.

[MbGirlSD]

My dog is very Hyperactive, How Do I train him to stop that?

[SilverMaiden]

@MbGirlSD You don't. Instead, you need to drain your dogg off energy. Run, walk far and exercise every day.

[MbGirlSD]

My dos is very Hyperactive, How Do I train him to stop that?

[thegodfather963]

dats a lil bad ass chihuahua

[giselecarioca]

batlike dog = chihuahua. That's why it enjoyable to make fun of them ^^

But I observed this: usually, the smaller the dog, the less they get treated as dogs and more like humans = bad.

Domination advice for small dogs: when they are being nasty, grab their throat, pin them down on their backs firmly (but without choking) and say "NO" in the deepest voice you can use. The dog will then perceive the dominating and usually go limp after a while. Cesar Millan = genius

[BernerAzuro]

@giselecarioca Try and do the with a rottweiler... Or what about a Caucasian Owtcharka? 200 pounds of selfconfident dog.

Yes, you are right - I do not believe in that method. It is only causing the dog to fear your reaction - and only if you actually succeed. No, training is the way, positive reinforcement and negative punishment (and there's a lot more to that, than a treat).

[SilverMaiden]

@BernerAzuro I practise the method you don't believe in, and it is actually working. It's true. My girlfriends dog had a couple of issues like barking and nipping people, but since I used the techniques Cesar shows, he's been doing 70-90% better, depending on the environment that perticullary day. And he loves me! He never fears me, he allways wants to play and be with me.

But I admit, I am using positive reinforcement as well, and combining the two methods are working best for me :)

[BernerAzuro]

@SilverMaiden I do not doubt, that the methods work, if they can possible be done. I would stop anything to avoid being handled that way myself and wouldn't dare use it on my BMD- the risk of getting bitten is to high and he is roughly as strong as I am. I simply believe that there are better methodes to stop unwanted behavior. Wether your friend's dog loves you is hard to say for me, but I do believe it.People using harsh methodes are loved and trusted by their dogs, too. If they are consistent

[mydogkanskidrums]

@SilverMaiden And what are you exactly doing when the dog barks and nips? Are you teaching him to do acceptable behaviours? Or are you using physical punishment to try and 'dominate' the dog and make him see you as 'the pack leader' so he becomes 'balanced'? Cesar's methods suppress behaviour; they don't teach or train good behaviours. As much as I am happy the dog is doing better, look out for signs of suppression. Will the dog behave when you are not around? If not, it hasn't learnt anything.

[cesarjimenezanimator]

Cesar's MY NAME, TOO!

[DMenase24]

The little rat one at the end definitely looks like something out of "The Fly" with Jeff Goldblum

[FlatMattress]

Hyperactivity: OMG SO FUNNY! :D

Anxiety: lol my dog totally when I have a new stuffie

Fear: AAWWWW I JUST WANNA CUDDLE THEM!!!!

Fear Aggression: Also my dog.

Dominant Aggression: Omg what is that bat thing at the end LOL. Also my dog over toys and food. and ESPECIALLY when she's sleeping.

[Kittywhiskers1000]

@FlatMattress No offence, but it sounds like your dog needs a lot of working on when it comes to behaviour.

[FlatMattress]

@Kittywhiskers1000 yup. :P

[BIAXlD3NT]

@stalag58 yeah those are "dumb" mexicans. or any other races. but "smart" mexicans like cesar milan know how to train dogs.

[stalag58]

@BIAXlD3NT Well yeah down in T.J mexico they train dogs to fuck women in the bars you should catch one of there shows its sort of cool in a nasty way lol

[BIAXlD3NT]
