nice video, i love this breed, just got to see this breed for the first time at the chicago dog show, are they hard to take care of? how is maintenance for this breed?
@dudejustponts Nope, they are miserable in hot climate. I live in Denmark (northern Europe), and even our summers can be a bit much for my Irish Wolfhound.
I wouldn't recommend getting one if you live someplace where it's generally warm. Have you considered a great dane?
My sister's Wolfhound is a lovely specimen---not the brightest but docile and sweet as can be. The worst she''ll do is drool all over you. Unfortunately long life is not in this breed's genetics (average lifespan is about seven years) but lot's of exercise helps these wonderful dogs live longer.
Good to see such trust and love between a man and his dog! This is my fav dog breed ever and I hope to get one soon. Simply fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing
@electricslipper you clearly are a very disturbed individual and I feel sorry that you are so offended by this video. I am not a smoker and nor do I like smoking but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a person handling an animal while smoking. As for the conditions they are living in I see nothing harmful about it and the other dogs are in great shape. Perhaps YOU should seek counseling electric slipper.
You have a great relationship with your dog and he adores you. It was a joy to watch :)
This is from the "bearded Missus as electric slipper has called me. Let me explain that I do not have a beard, My house is clean and my dogs are treated better then your children are if you have any. If you can't say anything nice then stay off this page. My husband was playing with his dog. This wasn't actually training. And FYI you never attack train a wolfhound. Now who is the stupid one here. You are a real mean person that doesn't deserve the right to speak on this page..
You are a very stupid, over-weight poor excuse for what should be a male. You do appear pregnant. You know nothing of animal behaviour. You are stupid beyond anything I have ever witnessed.
That was cute! God I love IWs. I've had the opportunity to work with quite a few as a trainer, and I've fallen in love with the breed. Once my three boys pass...I'll be adopting an IW. It's good to see someone who loves his dog. Way to showcase the gentle disposition of these dogs.
My irish wolfhound attacks me with her tongue.(that sounded dirty I k now). But when I come home from work, she "attacks" me and licks my face to the point I can't breathe.
This guy obviously has a better sense of humor than the average viewer. His IW obviously loves him too. As for brushing him, so IWs look like they just walked out of the woods 15 minutes after leaving the groomers. The dog is loved, so leave it alone.
electricslipper, obviously you miss the fun aspect of this video. This guy is not seriously talking about training an IW to be an attack dog. He is playing with his dog and it's quite evident he has a lot of love and respect for his gentle 'monster'. Just as evident that the dog trusts him and enjoys the play.
This guy is a real dummy. NEVER interact with any dog while smoking a cigarette. I hope someone called the SPCA. He knows nothing of dog training techniques. The Irish Wolfhound is one of the gentlest dogs around. However, with that giant chest and long neck, it does have a commanding bark.
@StSimonMartyr Professional trainers NEVER train with a lit cigarette. The lit cigarette comes dangerously close to the nose and eyes of the IW. This is unconscionable, and is an evidentiary of a very stupid or perhaps dull normal fat old man. By encouraging the dog to place it's fore-paws on ones shoulders, if the animal does it to someone who is not expecting it and is injured, this video is prima fascia evidence and the retarded old fat boy will lose in court. The dog is very handsome.
Some of the Best Dog trainers are smokers and smoke when on the job...
Same as I can smoke and talk, teach and love my children, I can do the same with animals. It doesnt take much care and awareness to not burn another with a lit cigarette.
Your point is utter nonsense.
The dog was commanded to jump up, COMMANDED. It is not a habit, if a dog is trained.
@StSimonMartyr The thought of you "Loving Your Children" with a lit cigarette is horrifying. As for your assertions that "Some of the Best Dog trainers are smokers and smoke when on the job," is insane and a bald-faced lie. Please cite your source not your rum soaked opinion. Not only are you way out of shape physically but I fear you are mentally impaired. Perhaps you should seek counseling before you harm a person or pet. You are a disgrace to the profession.

@StSimonMartyr You know nothing. If you think you can train any animal while smoking. You are not only stupid but mean. As for you bench pressing 400 pounds, will I am sure your bearded Missus enjoys it. I do hope she is wearing clean knickers while you engage in this perverted foreplay. It would be a good idea to lay off the Twinkies and SPAM.
@StSimonMartyr It is obvious you have never passed the third grade and that your Missus is mentally defective since she chooses to cohabit with the world's greatest idiot. The fact that you live in such squalor and are so out of shape both mentally and physically is egregious. This situation should be brought to the attention of the Humane Society. ~FILTH~
This is a very well trained irish wolfhound and is a real asset to his master and mistress that is taping this for you tube. I really enjoyed viewing this because the man in the video really loves his animals and they will do anything for them because of the strong bond between them. RJS.

Ive seen many, many schutzhund trainers train And smoke.
Smoking does not impair work.
Same as other jobs, ie roofing, plumbing or electric.
I bench press 400 pounds and can outrun you in a 40 yd dash any day of the week.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, you are a degenerate mental weakling with a perverted & distorted sense of reality.
One CAN smoke & train dogs & not burn their dogs..you idiot. Its not an impediment like you think.
Only consideration is dont get too close to its face.
