SHELTER DOG RESCUE Dog Q&A LIVE Understanding What is Best for Rescue Dogs
Shelter dogs and rescue dogs are sometimes a little different to deal with and bond with than dogs we may get from a breeder. There can be some serious behavioral issues such as fear, aggression among other things. In this live chat, I address viewers’ questions and point out some of the best things we can do to make their lives better.
What do we do with the dangerous and aggressive dogs in shelters? How do we work with fearful dogs and shut down dogs? We talk about every breed from German Shepherds to Pitbulls.
I kick myself for missing this live.
Your shows are going to be all beeping now lol
Thankfully we don’t have kill-shelters in the Netherlands. They usually get picked up fast as well, the average dog stays in for about a month.
Great editing job Robert but your passion was fully understandable. A dog is for life always.
Now the Lock down is mostly over here in the UK, those people that got dogs/puppies during Lock down are now dumping them in shelters. My turn to be cross today. Thanks for everything Robert & Janet : )
Swearing is a way to express yourself. Swearing fires off certain chemicals in our brain, it’s a “numbing” effect which also helps with stress relieve. I live in the Netherlands, and over here swearing is allowed on national television. Kids watch, it’s simply up to the parents. The fun thing is, when you’re allowed to swear it takes the novelty off of it when you’re a kid and don’t know any better. I lived in the US (Savannah, GA) from the age of 6 to 9, my anecdotal evidence is that kids in the US swear a whole lot more when the parents aren’t around compared to Dutch kids.
So yeah, don’t feel bad for swearing Robert. Especially not considering the topic. I’m a Atlanta Falcons fan, ever since that debacle (Michael Vick for those outside of North America) I started looking into it. It’s a topic that needs swear words, how else can you possibly talk about it?
That’s so true. I have a shelter dog and for me it will always be shelter dogs. I can handle many of them and I know that other people can’t. I learned so much of my first one and I’m so thankful. It’s not easy, it may will never be but that’s absolutely okay. Always shelter dogs, always just dogs you can handle. Otherwise you can’t help them.
Great show! Thank you for the useful info.
Keep up the honesty on line…
Love it..
Cheers from another malinois owner…
I love the way he honestly expressed himself, best trainer on YouTube. Please don’t apologized for your vocabulary lol
No need to apologize. Your passionate about dogs. You help a lot of dogs.
Great, great video. So many truths!
Thanks for sharing.
👍🏻👍🏻
“Ain’t gonna happen with a clicker and treats.” Oh, boy, there it is in a nut shell. I’m so tired of the positive ONLY trainer gurus. My Peke had issues when I adopted him from the shelter. The very first time he stepped out of line, I immediately dealt with that negative behavior. Nope not going to act that way period. Sure he gets lots of positive reinforcement but he had to learn that I am the one in charge and it is his job to look to me for direction. I love him to bits but I refuse to coddle.
Hi Robert, I heard the live show and wanted to put in a language warning for others, but you’ve already edited it ! Great job 🙂
I wish you would come to Detroit to speak! 👍🏻
I wish you won’t worry about what others say. Calling people out that super chat you is nice.
Please stop saying you look like a dork wearing your glasses 🤓 or old! You don’t! Own it! Was rewatching to see if you answered my question? Maybe I missed it? Second time I’ve asked a question live & no answers?
Hello! Enjoyed this earlier, but my question did not post. Not sure why? 🙁
