@kingdomofwitches You sound like you have never seen a dog in your life... slaves??? Our dogs own US! We feed them, we water them, we cater to their every whim (well, not when they are bad). They are much like children. We take care of them, but we expect certain behavior from them just like other dogs do. They are only able to communicate by barking??? Dogs use mostly body language. One of my dogs has always been naturally quiet, but he communicates just fine with other dogs. Don't buy a dog.

@kingdomofwitches I am from the US and have a 100lb GSD who is fed a raw diet and not at all aggressive. Yes, humans take playing God too far with what they have done with dogs, and they do have instincts, however, the link to a raw diet and aggression is a myth and has been proven not to be fact by medical studies. Not all dogs are treated as you mentioned above, it is an unfair generalization about something that has many more variables and can not be lumped into one statement as the only way.

@Hmswhitetiger here in US or in Canada dogs dog were not treated as dogs.they trained enough for not able to use their instincts,they were programed by training,they were manipulated by genetic selection.they were treated as some kind of toys and human slaves.they were punished for speaking(barking - which is the only way a dog can communicate).their behavior was modified because they think the behavior is unacceptable so you wont understand what i am talking

completely false.

I love what you are doing. I have a 100 lb GSD that I feed raw and he has never tried once to bite or otherwise. He is very well behaved and not at all aggressive with food. He rather have a piece of zucchini any day! I find that people who try to say dogs become aggressive or other negative comments have never actually first handed seen a dog on raw. He is much healthier (teeth, fur, etc.) and doesn't have any problems digesting his food like he did on kibble.
What is recommended for my 1 month doberman? i really want him to grow healthy and strong ... thank you for your video

@sh0ps90 Check out the links under the video and ask there. You can start them on raw as soon as they start on solid food (about 4 weeks). I hope your puppy is still with his mom & litter (unlit 8-9 weeks)! Other wise, he'll miss out on some key socialization like bite inhibition and learning dog language.

Resource guarding (which is what you are talking about) is actually a learned behavior due to a valuable resource that is rare or the dog fears will be taken away. A dog can learn that biting allows it to keep what it deems valuable but it is not instinctual. He bites, the other dog or person moves away, and voila, the biting behavior is reinforced. (By the way it is an inhibited bite that does not intend damage, it is just as a warning.) Excluded from this are dogs bred to kill other dogs.

feeding raw meat increases bite force and instinct to bite if threatened .it also makes the dog more alert.

@kingdomofwitches Sorry, but this is a myth. Raw meat is more valuable to the dog for sure, but it cannot increase bite strength nor instinct. Instinct is instinct. It either is present at birth or it is not. In fact, there is a study by Alexandra Semyonova 2003 that explains dog social structure, they try to avoid aggression at all costs. Aggressive dogs are dogs that are dysfunctional or damaged in some way.
