I like Ian Dunbar love how he went to the wolf park cute picture with him with wolf getting kisses..
Wow I do notice the dog had flashing red eyes weird..
Saya reminds me of him saying a kid pulls on the dog's tail it doesn't care.. My cousin little girl did that to Saya and she just went to her and licked her.
She has it happened to stranger's kids luckily Saya tolerates it and I inform the little kid proper way to greet kids thankfully most kids listen.
Thanks for posting this poor victims and poor pups in shelter. =\
Good video. I've seen so many owners with problematic dogs be in total denial. I actually have an acquaintance whose dog I won't allow around Koda. Someday that dog is going to go all bad on someone, and his owner won't listen. He's shown signs of aggression/fear since he was a pup. I'm going to send him this video. ;-P
It's really hard to talk to some people about their dogs though. So I'm hoping from having more exposure with behaviorists like Dr. Ian Dunbar, more people will accept they are wrong and get the dogs the help they need to become confident dogs.
Sadly, in Southern CA, a lot of dogs are just entertainment for the little kids. Entertainment that lasts a few hours and then becomes forgotten and locked outside int he backyard.
I've seen The Dog Whisperer do the red flashing eyes thing. They'll show a clip of the dog barking at an angle where all you see is flashing teeth, then they'll show a still frame with the dogs' mouth wide open and eyes turned red, or they'll invert the colours. That way, by the time CM comes on the scene, everyone's convinced that this dog is pure evil and if CM can get it to act even somewhat normal, he's a genius canine exorcist.
I think one thing people have a hard time with in admitting that their dogs are dangerous is not feeling that it's okay to accept and acknowledge that your dog shouldn't be placed in certain situations. It's okay to love a dog that has flaws, even if they're serious. Some people don't want to think that their beloved companion can't be trusted with children, but it's alright to live with that reality and still love your dog.
The sad thing is many people still believe in the old school approach of being the alpha and using alpha roll and physical punishment to train their dogs and they say they do it in the name of love.
This is especially true outside of the US. Cesar Milan's 'The Dog Whisper" show will be broadcasting in Taiwan this September and there has been a campaign on Facebook to try to block the show from airing as it would give many uninitiated dog owners there more justifications to train their dogs with forces.
@hondru - Well I think that that's meant to be a joke in the case of The Dog Whisperer show. They don't make it subtle and it always looks like it's done with the Paint program. I mean, I'd hope that people wouldn't fall for it.
In this clip, it's barely noticeable if you aren't paying attention, or maybe that's because I'm Red/Black colorblind. From my perspective it's almost subliminal, but Autistics tend to be highly susceptible to those at first but then it loses its effectiveness over time while the opposite can be said for normal people and I completely lost track of the point in this statement.
@sandrat888 - Physical punishment? I've been using Cesar's method and I've never used physical punishment! Maybe it's because when we pet our big dogs we've always tended to pat them harder than the small ones, but I don't think physical force could work on Bear anyway. Before I was allowed to train Bear, my brother sent him to a trainer and when the trainer shocked him 6 levels too high (supposedly by accident), he just shook it off.
Besides, he's gone through a remarkable change. I called my friend and asked if she wanted me to walk Bear and pick her up and she was literally shocked that I would even think of walking him (She hadn't seen me training him and I actually wasn't allowed to walk or train him in the past).

But anyway, do you know where this was broadcasted? This is a very important clip. Thank you for sharing this.

I love Ian Dunbar, especially the part where he says he would recommend a pit bull for a pediatric ward.
