Dog Training - Fred Hassen and 'Nero'

[musicfreak6730]

either way, he still is a very well trained dog lol.

great job training him!

@fredhassen try that with Bulldogs or Mastiffs a hard headed Dog. These Dogs are not hard to train. Great work.

... and Nero is an extreme and exceptional dog

Just like you wouldn't use a Malinois to pull a sled in Alaska, or a St. Bernard to burrow into the ground and hunt rodents like an earth dog -- you can't expect a low drive northern breed to do police work. or hunting dog stuff or anything you can do with a Malinois. Anybody who tries to fault the dog trainer for that is being intellectually dishonest.

@costaricajones this dog is doing simple tricks, not police work... heeling, sitting on a stool, watching the handler. You don't need a mal and an ecollar to accomplish that. I love how I said a different breed and you said a jackal. That comment speaks for itself.

[fredhassen]

@VTECsqznN2O Go to my channel and search 'Police Dog Training' .

[VTECsqznN2O]

@fredhassen You miss my point. This video is not police work. One does not need a mal and an ecollar to accomplish the behaviors seen in this video ;) Which is my point. ;)

[fredhassen]

@VTECsqznN2O I just checked out your channel......thanks for the advice.

[costaricajones]

@VTECsqznN2O Really? Why don't you post some of your own videos, and show us how to do it?

[VTECsqznN2O]

very impressive...I'd be more impressed if a breed not traditionally used for training was used. : )

[costaricajones]

What, like a Jackal??? That dog he's working with is a lot more difficult to train than your typical housepet.  The high drive Malinois is not an "easy" breed. I'm a lot more impressed with this breed than somebody working a Sheltie.

[VTECsqznN2O]

Iam refering to a primitive breed...I'd be impressed if this was a chow or an akita. But Mals do this kinda of stuff all the time.

He focused the drive of a high drive breed...now show me the same behaviors with a low drive breed...then I will be impressed.

that dog is sick

[Marcoshary]

Great!

Uhm, the first time I saw Fred work was competing in a NAPD trial with his great pit bull, Maddie. No remote collar anywhere. He needs no advertising.

[Aynjelia]

Cute video. See how he used the disc as a lure, and a reward.

Point is keeping an open mind, being responsible and informed on facts about training, breeds, and backgrounds of both a trainer and the dog. Having genuine compassion for the animal is the key. Happy training! :)

[Thai108]

I have a very sweet natured pit. I began using only touch, voice commands, and lots of praise. Great results! Moved to leash work when he was older. I incorporated "remote collar," and found it was much less stress on my dog than the traditional correction collar. He enjoys the training, and is still very much just a playful li'l dog. He enjoyed training along side of Nero.

[Thai108]

My dog has trained along side of "Nero" before. I've see Malinois before, but Nero is one very high energy dog, and loves this work - it's his bond w/ Fred. If you knew the story of Nero, you would know how blessed he was that Fred found him. Was previously police/bomb squad dog, and put a few trainers in the hospital. The only one who could work w/ him was Fred. Nero is a great dog, and I'd love to have one of his puppies.

[unacarafea]

It's also a Malinois. They are not your common house dog. They are by nature high strung so if you don't know dogs, you would think the dog is stressed. This breed thrives on being what many would call "stresse".

[cindyrssalt]

thats cool. you have great control over your dog. seems to work really well. will try it Thanks.

[Kalihiraiders]

Dang that is really kool.....

[SOZRASH]

Very good training. He never removed his eyes off his trainer!

[bundidubois]

what a great dog!
