Now THIS is an aggressive dog!!

[lampett35]

i bet the vet loves him lol

[msbarbiegirl616]

My dog was more aggressive

[alsonee]

sorry guys, in this case i prefer handmade. you have not win.

[Drewxoxo100]

now THIS is called my dog!

[smellslikebush]

the muzzle is making him more agresive. try using a harness on this guy

[LadyEsori]

I wasn't sure what I was going to see when I clicked on this video, but I was actually impressed with the way the dog was handled and redirected. He's clearly very intelligent and driven, I wonder why he was so out-of-controll aggressive before? Either way, he's looking great and I think he's on his way to being a great working/police dog =)

[rrsd69]

was that a ds (dutch shepherd)?

[skywidedesign]

I think this video illustrates a dog learning in a controlled environment, from people whom are ready for his "bad" habits, with well-timed corrections & a well-executed plan for altering the dog's behavior without hurting his "drives". This isn't a pet dog, and this style training isn't for pets. A LOT if asked of a working dog, especially a police K9; just like a LOT is asked of a soldier or LE Officer, and they receive special training under many conditions for that role.

[jmdnarri]

So, was this an issue of the original trainer missing some issues bringing this dog along?

[SweetSugarLady21]

When I was seven years old I began to work with dogs...

15 Years ... i work with Dogs 15 Years now ...

15 long years..every day for two hours ...

I see all your videos ... you are one of the best Dog Trainers for me!!

Often this Videos helps me to train one of my Dogs ..my speziall Dog ... a Black Hovawart ....2 Years old and really EXTREM Aggressiv!! ;D But now it has an on/off switch.

[genay33]

Do you have a location in Maryland? I could use the help.

[genay33]

Amazing

[hrschwartz]

Seriously?!

This dog is showing serious aggression at the beginning and you correct him for it. A few minutes later you let him "attack" someone???? WHY? If a dog is this aggressive, you should never train him in protection.

This is terrible training! I feel sorry for the dog.

[fredhassen]

@hrschwartz Er, uh.........it's a police dog and now it has an on/off switch.

[typalexandra]

i dont really understand this video. was the dog agressive in the beginning or was it just training there top? cause in the end of the movie the huy really had control of the dog

[fredhassen]

@typalexandra Was no training at the beginning as was shown.

[gsdsteve]

@davebok9 Wow, really misinformed. Old prehistoric training method.

[gsdsteve]

@Hhotmama26 My trainer has been training my gsd with a remote collar and there is nothing cruel about it at all. when used correctly all it does is get the dog's attention kind of like tapping someone on the shoulder. There's a reason why more and more trainers are learning the correct use of the remote collar and utilizing it in their programs. My dog gets real excited when i put her collar on!

[floridaman2000]

and the point of this video is.....

[astralman77]

is it necessary that the guy getting attacked screams? never seen anyone scream like that before

[ArmoredSecurity41]

I was wondering what e-collar you were using in the video. I am looking to get one and the ones on your page are a little outside my price range right now.

[edesir]

With a dog like that your Dogtra collar better be fully charged and remote close to hand set at 120 :)

[warriorsage1]

That's a great video Fred. I do use E-Collars or the more politcally correct term of Remote Collars, when I'm training owners and dogs. For the individual that says we should put ourselves in the place of the dog? I do. I make my owners wear the collar and show them the gentle increases in intensity that are possible and just how discreet the shifts can be. And everyone of them is amazed by the results when the thoughtful application of an e-collars is used.

[samh09]

This is a great video. Thanks for posting.

[matze11880]

ihr seit echt sooooooo klasse.....AFFEN

mit ner fernsteuerung in der hand und beißkorb auf .....haha....

echt tolle kerle und nun bitte das ganze mal ohne beißkorb und fernsteuerung....

ihr habts echt drauf....

[takes1toknowone435]

THIS IS AMAZAING!!!! You guys are great!

[7466309change]

thank you was nice see your decent.

[MrAnthony78666]

i think this is very impressive. i watched the whole vid, & can't see where there's any abuse going on. i mention this coz of some of the comments on here. i guess what we see as cruel or abusive can be relative. some people seem to have a need to "find" things to bitch about tho...this is a cool vid.

[madtabby66]

Oh how I wish I met you before I ended up putting my Rottweiler down. He was so nuts he'd attack another dog just because the other dog was getting its nails clipped. I was helpless and couldn't find anyone who could help me.

The +R trainers around here just told me to 'click when he was nice' when I went back to them and told them it didn't work, they told me I should put him down. I was told by the breeder that he didn't have time for me.

[fredhassen]

@madtabby66 That is very sad to hear that. I am sorry.

[7466309change]

@madtabby66 ahha no.I,m sorry for that.Most you can undo.some need more work then others.

[veryangelic1]

I love when someone says, it's moderate discomfort. A dog is a great deal more sensitive to pain, and to sounds. I suspect we wouldn't be so quick to think something is moderately painful, if we were put in their positions, though. I think that's what people forget to do...put themselves in the position of the dog.

[fredhassen]

@veryangelic1 We certainly don't want you taking a 4 month old child, and letting him around naked and barefoot in the snow in the middle of Wisconsin in the winter time for half an hour to see who is in more discomfort. We won't let your dog play bite you on the neck for 5 minutes either just to see which one feels it more. :-)

[madtabby66]

@veryangelic1 Yet my hunting dogs willingly run through brambles and cactus. Yeah, they're so sensitive to pain that they pull the thorns out themselves so they can keep running. Also my problem at fireworks is that they think it's gunfire and are upset they're not out where the action is. If they got loose they'd run towards the explosions not away from it. Oh and I have used an electronic collar on myself

Dogs come with an array of temperaments and drives, do not lump them all into one pile.

[K9ProSportUSAdotcom]

@veryangelic1 If that dog was yours you'd be dead or in a hospital...clutching a dog treat and a clicker...

[chomprottweiler]

i didn't learn much from the video, i learned alot from freds response to Hhotmama. well done, top marks from me Fred.

[blackdogxx]

The dog would be euthanized quickly in a shelter or pound withthis level of aggression toward people. Although it seems he is whimpering from the collar sting, it's moderate discomfort and the guys are training pros.

[madtabby66]

@blackdogxx Really? I translated that whimpering as anxiety, not discomfort. My dogs whine like that when they know they're on the start line of a field trial, no e-collar involved.

[7466309change]

@madtabby66 mine does when chipmunks shows up.

[Hhotmama26]

wow dude your a real piece of work!! My dog trainer is training my gsd with no shock or choke collar no bribes no treats just pure positive stimulous and its amazing! You dont have to abuse an animal to have them do what you want.Its all about trust and a healthy relationship people! This is just cruel!

[fredhassen]

@Hhotmama26 That is straight out awesome, and we are so happy for you that your dog is so good! Please share a video of him with us so we can learn. This channel is all about learning. Feel free to post video.

[titaniumonkey]

@fredhassen I to would like to see videos of your amazing dog Hhotmama26, no treats? is amazing lol or it could be all talk lol

[schutzhund1994]

@Hhotmama26 This is a Dutch Shepherd not a GSD with a hell of a lot more defensive & prey drive... I do not see any body language on the dog's behalf that suggests he is fearful on him, his tail position is correct for a alert but stable dog, the guy is a miracle worker! I would like to pose the question whether your trainer is training your GSD for any discpline ie: Schutzhund, ringsports?

[bobo87244]

@Hhotmama26 you're one of those that would have this dog put down because your methods land you in hospital

[art0neable]

@Hhotmama26 I have a choke collar i have not seen my dog feeling any discomfort by it he just soldiers on even pulls on it

[madtabby66]

@Hhotmama26 Have you ever felt an e-collar? I'm also curious how your trainer trains without any training equipment at all. This must be one amazing technique!

[edesir]

@madtabby66 it feel like sticking a key in an a/c outlet

[ktagliam]

i like positive training methodology but pure positive never teaches the dog that there can be consequences. therefore, dogs that are trained using pure positive don't know "no" and because they don't understand "no" or settle down, they are constantly offering behavior which is annoying... kinda like bratty kids who always hear they are perfect.

[fredhassen]

@ktagliam You can only learn best through comparison anyway.  You wouldn't know 'tall' unless you knew 'short' and had comparison.

[ktagliam]

@fredhassen Interesting way to look at it. I think of it more as setting parameters on behavior... setting boundaries, putting a lid on the box...

[Serraristudios]

Is this dutch because i live in belgium its like dutch :zit, af, neer, stappen

[fredhassen]

@Serraristudios Yes, Dutch Shepherd.

[TehACchannel]

wow it's really cool to see a dog like this in action i've never seen one react so viciously to a muzzle.

[SOZRASH]

@ 0:37 he's like a furious stallion :)

[IndianaWorkingDogs]

very nice work. Mr. Hassen is a fantastic trainer. For those that think this will hurt the dog's drive apparently you didn't watch the whole video. Canine martial arts is NOT a vicious dog. Control is paramount and how quickly this dog starts to learn is a fantastic example of that control

[marthasdemo]

i have a mini pincher. when i hold her and someone is near me she goes crazy aggressive and she bites ..she does this sometimes when she does not know you, and you want to pet her..i do not have any idea how to fix this. can you help me?

[runiseppe]

beautiful,poor dog...nothing more to say...

[Slitzz689]

with a dog like that, it was most likely breed and given away to early before the mother could instill some instinctive common trust, and especially with most k-9 dogs there kept in cages most there life and when there tought to walk on a leash at a late age insted of a puppy its too late you've breed a fearful dog who doesnt understand, now my job is to determine if a dog is proper to be a in a k-9 unite or a military dog, and i can tell you that dog may never be able to be a proper work dog.

[davebok9]

I do not understand why handlers need an e-collar. It is useless once the batteries die and it is a crutch for handlers that can't give a real correction. Plus, you always have to have that stupid remote in your hand. Whenever a dog has a e-collar on you can automatically assume the handler has no control over his respecttive canine. Stick to the basics.

1. Utilize an Impact Chain

2. A correction the dog does not forget

3. Praise immediately once the dog suceeds at the task or command

[CobaltBritty]

@davebok9 you have no idea how they're using the collar. not all collars are used for correcting or punishment purposes. you think scaring the dog is a solution, get with the times and get your facts as well.

[mutley745]

The purpose of the training is to develope CONTROLLED aggression upon command. At the beginning of the video the dog was simply aggressive and potentially very dangerous to anyone, making him absolutely useless for personal protection or police work. Many of the best working protection dogs started off as innapropriately aggressive and apparently uncontrollable.

[An0niempje]

@mutley745 The last part is not entirely true. Protection dogs can also be very nice pet dogs where the protecting instincts are stimulated and who have learned to fight. Those dogs will be much better at patrols on the street and to protect their owner, but less effective when used offensively, to take down a suspect.

[K3Sk3]

CAN I PET YOUR DOG, SIR!!!? Please? He's so cute! My mutt only attacks mail carriers through windows...and squirrels.

[nyc90009]

what does the remote do? like does it give them a little shock? to get ur attention

[fredhassen]

@nyc90009 Google 'Muscle Stimulators' and you will get a good idea of the technology.

[TehACchannel]

@fredhassen good job on the training this was really cool.

[April80309]

Wowowow, I really impressed the results, Ashton is a smart dog! Fred is a very good dog trainer, excellent!

[PreussGirl627]

Ashton was funny at the end. >>;

[zelromek]

good job friens!

[ratsofkeona]

Nice! Is that a dutchie?? I have a mali bitch who'd love a date with this handsome beast! hehe (nice training, too btw) ;)

[dogzlf]

hahah lmao Heyyy can I pet your dog sir? He;s really cute lmao 4:20

[RottweilerPsyco69]

I personally would not whant my dog to attack the arm with the muzzle on. Id prefer the body or the face. The arm and legs is just for biting. but that is how i do it. but this is not wrong or anything.

[magicalcrazyness]

@RottweilerPsyco69

I agree. I don't know much about attack/protection training, but I think it would be better to have diffrent commands for dogs to attack diffrent parts of the body. My friend trainer her rottweilers(working police dogs) to attack arms with the command arm and all the other parts for their name. Her dogs are amazing dogs, they aren't like some police dogs who bark and lunge before being ordered to attack. They will let the person they just attacked climb on them and hug them.

[999stephyz]

@RottweilerPsyco69

a police dog is not required to bite anywhere on the body where serious bodily harm or death could occur. By biting the arm you are holding the suspect down so the officer can arrest him.

[RottweilerPsyco69]

This method is really good. Also the vid is good. U can use this type of method to astablish a really good contact to with the dog

[ashtonfitzgerald]

In this particular department, they needed really tough dogs due to the fact that their jurisdiction happened to be a drug running corridor, and many of the suspects were very aggressive about avoiding being caught. Their dogs reflected the type of environment they work in. This particular dog had too much fight to be considered safe in many situations. It's hard to wash a dog that has that kind of heart, and with training, the dog came around. Now that's a good dog. Strong and focused.

[GSDGunny]

Maybe I am not understanding this, but are you trying to train the fight out of a working k-9? Seems like a bad idea when an officer will be trusting his life to the dog. If the dog won't fight the officer could die, it's happened before. But if the dog is so unstable it fights everything, then it shouldn't be in the program at all.

[fredhassen]

Perhaps you didn't watch the whole video. The dog obviously didn't lose his fight, and certainly shouldn't be dropped out of the program when he can obviously be taught to channel his energy instead of going off on everything when he is in muzzle. The whole process was 20 minutes. I wouldn't drop him. Nice dog.

[K9ProSportUSAdotcom]

@fredhassen I agree, good dog, good fight, poor training prior.

[K9ProSportUSAdotcom]

@fredhassen Damned nice dog.

[darrelhager]

Great video.

[samsamtm]

Really enjoyed this video. I just subscribed to learn more about training every day.

Thanks so much for sharing this!
