When your dog is playing tug-o-war, this is an excellent bonding opportunity. More than that is the recognizing how your dysfunctional dog interacts with you and with other dogs.

When your dog plays a tugging game with you, this is a deliberately conscious decision to engage in codependent interaction when they are feeling lonely and insecure.

It is also a deliberately conscious behavior which is similarly demonstrated by children. An attempt to engage with another person that has an establish(ing) codependency with. Like a toddler bringing their parent a book to read. This is recognizable sentience. Traits of behaviors show constantly in dogs.

Dogs do not verbalize more than 2% aggregate per day. That's less than 2 minutes if you add up all the barking and other sounds of codependent engagement such as whining.

I'll discuss the root psychological behaviors in the physical and physiological signs and manifestations in real time. 

Now, this all depends on what is happening during my live. Behaviors and interactions will shift without warning. I encourage viewers to subscribe so you can build on what you're learning by watching real time examples in my ongoing live series. It's important for each and every dog that I shift and adjust as fast as possible to address interactions.

Today's live will go over the actual act of tug-o-war and how to guide with parental instinct, how to control body movement when building communication via physical reciprocation (David is almost 200 lbs and 38" at his shoulders. An extremely dangerous dog).

Dogs absolutely love being hugged. Sadly, it's miscomprehension if you're told otherwise. It encourages your dog to trust you to protect them. I'll explain the importance and errors of this silly misguided 'fact'.

I do not need to use treats, medications, corrective collars, alpha, LIMA, bridging. I'm processing their behaviors at 2/10ths of a second. You'll see the extremely blazing fast processing dogs have. With extremely dangerous dogs, the issues can be extremely dangerous without warning.

Please watch and subscribe.

David (Gryffin) is 2 1/2 years old. 180+ lbs, 38" withers. Extremely dangerous for attacking other dogs & people. For 2 years, since the age of 6 months, he was on 80 mg Prozac, 750 mg Trazodone. These are unethical amounts to be prescribed by any vet or trainer. These amounts far exceed what would be given to a human psychiatric patient in a hospital.

To downtrain David, every dog must be completely weaned prior to arrival. This way I can address real, raw psychological behaviors instead of the medicated behaviors otherwise the dog is under.

Mingki the Jindo was the "worse dog out of over 20,000 dogs" rescued by Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, Los Angeles. As the only trainer in North America, AHWF sought my expertise after they were unable to find any trainer that could comprehend Mingki at my level. Mingki stress defecates, can't be walked or touched, can't be around other dogs. Extremely fearful of being outdoors. Prolific bite history having bitten several people at AHWF.

I downtrain extremely dangerous dogs weighing over 150 lbs that have deliberately tried to kill people. I downtrain and stabilize extremely skittish dogs from the horrific meat dog trade in Asia.

My level of root psychological comprehension is extremely quick and accurate. As such, I've never used, nor needed to use treats, medication, corrective collars, alpha, etc...
*Tonka the Great Dane was the most extremely dangerous Great Dane in North America. Attacked 16 people in New York. Dragged a shelter worker into his kennel to try to kill her. Partially blind/deaf from severe beatings to his head as a 8 - 9 month old puppy. Through 7 homes before 19 months of age. 6 of those homes severely beat Tonka. He was turned down by every behaviorist, PhD and master dog trainer in North America, including by Dr. Ian Dunbar. The affluent Southampton Animal Shelter had zero options for Tonka.
