Lol. More like you "scamming" the dog
Been long u last visited this great thread. Great job, OP

lmao, it starts of as a scam but it's just great conditioning that makes dogs feel powerful and invincible
dogs brought up like that are usually fearless if you do it well, later on during the training you can pad the person and let the dog attack and let the person fight back too with weapons (not something that can injure the dog, plastic bottles are okay).
if you train your guard dog like that, the dog will attack any intruder without thinking twice

Sofia01:
Iamanderson, what happened na?

nothing ooh I've just been very busy

okikiosibodu:
Actually, I think many of us mistake "territoriality" for "aggression". When we say we want our dogs to be aggressive, what many people intend saying is for it to display territorial instinct: trust me, nobody wants an aggressive dog.
Roscoe sure has his territorial instinct active that is why he is free with you all in the house cos everyone belongs to his pack, but when a stranger steps in, he goes berserk on them. He is defending his territory from "invaders". For many of these dogs, you might be wondering if they can ever attack anyone or bite anyone cos of how well socialised they are and how you two have bonded (it might be giving you concern though that can it ever guard its territory), until you see the same dog giving a stranger the chase of his life and truly when you see the stranger run, nyoyneill know the race has a lot to do with the stranger's survival.
I have once been on a Boerboel group when a responsible breeder that knows his onions (not new in the game), had to put down one of his clients Boerboel. It was way tok aggressive and couldn't be tamed. It couldn't reference anyone as alpha, it attacked even its owner: both father and mother, and even children... And they raise the dog from puppyhood. It was aggressive to both humans and dogs. Two bullets was needed to put it down cos one bullet couldn't do the job. It was the kind of dog that even as the owner when you enter your compound and find its cage opened, you run into its cage, and lock yourself inside before you determine your next course of action. Now, that is an aggressive dog.
I hope sey my story no dey too much. By the way, I love Roscoe.
Out of curiosity, do you know how to crop a Cauc's ears?

aggression isn't a bad thing in dogs tho, a dog cannot be territorial without being aggressive.
I've not seen a dog ask intruders or smile at intruders to leave it's territory before, all territorial dogs bark and attack intruders which automatically means they are aggressive.
I've written something about this before... it's attached to this comment.
aggression doesn't have to be mad or reckless, if it's showing violence or willingness to be violent it's an aggressive dog.

okikiosibodu:
I thought onions, chocolates and fruits (I think carrot is a legume rather than fruit) are harmful to dogs... Am I wrong?

fruits aren't bad for dogs

it's a gsd/cauc mix and it's cute

playces:
Pls wc breed is this. I jux got it. The seller said it's Caucasian /GSD. Dunno much about dogs

the seller is correct

okikiosibodu:
British bulldog is about one of the ugliest dogs I know. Yet, it is owned by people with taste (for some weird reasons--maybe class, as sign of affluence ). Bull dog (American or British) have similar mouth structure with Bullmastifs... Upper jaw is shorter than lower jaw
I doubt the authenticity of the acclaimed pedigrees, cos OP sure doesn't know his onions... Sure mistake can't be made with pedigree..... Register showing ancestry records...
Nah, such mistakes can't be made
Cc: Prodeegee, Knyte, Oluomoadebayo, vincentjk

true

vincentjk:
That's an American bulldog not a pitbull. Nice dog all the same

I agree with you, it's obviously an American bulldog, the head shape isn't even remotely pitbull.
the dog is solid tho

Eveezy:
Pitbull and Bulldogs are two different breed.

The fact that the op doesn’t know the difference and still says they are pedigree is a red flag.

Except if he meant American Bulldog

I agree.
people tend to call any dog without hair and jawls "bulldog"
a lot of people don't even know what bulldogs look like or can point them out amongst apbt,mastiffs,american bully, bull terriers e.tc.
I expect someone selling pedigree apbt not to be making that mistake

petlover1:
Bulldogs is the general name given to working pitbull terriers..thats what dogmen around the world refer to them as

lol no "dogman" that knows what he's selling says that anywhere.
because bull is in their names doesn't mean they are the same thing.
they are two different type of dogs with different sizes and temperament

petlover1:
In The Book Of Timothy,Paul said to Timothy,"When I Remember The Unfeigned Faith That Is In You,Which Was First In Your GrandMother and Mother,I am persuaded It Is In You Also!!..This pedigree has Arguably The Best Bulldogs That Have So far Looked through A Collar In Nigeria,The Chances Of This Puppy Inheriting Desireable Genetic traits Is Actually High

ONLY FOR THOSE THAT KNOW!!!

Call/whatsapp 09057887142 for more information

is it a bull dog or a pitbull?
they are two different dogs, your title and writeup don't match

agboedeh:
guy ,u take style wicked oo....lol

lmao

vincentjk:
I don faint o

vincentjk:
Lmao
What breed are those?

boerbel sir

vincentjk:
Lol I don't think boerboel pups sell for that price tho

Iamanderson what do you think?

see boerbel of 20k here choose one

vincentjk:
He didn't state the price so why conclude he's expensive?

lol I wonder ooh

matify83:
A sprinkle of St. Bernard mixed with some things.

Cute dog anyway!

saint Bernard? lmao
there's literally no trace of saint Bernard in the pup, the markings aren't exclusive to saint Bernards

Spanishmilf:
That crazy dog bark unnecessarily, and he poop anyhow the dog is big and he jump on me which annoy me the most.

it's a gsd nah lol it's normal, it just had too much energy.

Spanishmilf:
pipe
There was a time I went to the station to report my neighbor who maltreat his dog, the police just look at me and the mumu people send me out I beg my neighbor to sell the dog..
Have never seen an humane treatment before na my neighbor compound I witness all those stuff
Kicking his dog, caging him with food per day all in d name of he want to d dog to be aggressive

chai it's so bad, I don't know why people still feel maltreatment is a good way to make your dog aggressive.
simple training can help you mold your dog into an awesome aggressive guard dog but a lot of people feel having an unstable dog is having a great guard dog.

NevetsIbot:
A lot of these local dogs are maltreated though....I don't know how some owners do it but it annoys me.

I had a scuffle with an unstable Caucasian though... Was playing with me and turned on me in an instant and launched at my leg. thank God for my little experience with dogs, I drew back slowly and was speaking in a reassuring voice "Easy easy" went back to buy what I needed and left the scared dog... ... Since then, I've steered clear of Caucasians. Pheeeew

maybe the dog was just playing rough lmao
well it was good as you avoided the dog and left to avoid trouble.
my dog enjoys the rough play thing a lot, he can hold my hand in his mouth and drag it, jump and nip at my chest and belly or chase me around while barking and growling but he doesn't Injure me tho, he can control his bites well, even if I'm wearing short sleaves and shorts he only leaves minor scratches and no wounds.
it's something I've been doing since he was little so he has mastered it, when he was a puppy I used to need to pad my hands and wear jeans to do this play.

Spanishmilf:
My former gsd I beat it too mucj he is scared of everything, if he see me holding broom he runs, if I hold stick he will run, bottle he will run I must not walk him out he run and drag chain with me he is scared asf... When he was a pup he was aggressive and protective.

I like strong willed dogs
I can wrestle with my dog and play tug of war with him and he'll never cower, that's because right from when he was small I didn't try to break his morale instead I encouraged him to be active.
the only time I use something on my dog is when we're playing rough play to encourage him to attack and he fights back instead of cowering.
discipline to him is the snout tapping and holding and the put down command, any other thing you use will make him fight back(although he won't attack you due to respect as his owner , just growls and snarls if it's someone he doesn't like he'll bite you or hold your hand in his mouth and growl at you).

I've boarded someone's Alsatian that was like this, when the owner is around the dog keeps it's head down and move around like a snake but after some time with me the dog loosened up and started jumping anytime he sees me.
the dog was a push-over, once you call his name he'll walk to you with his head down as if you want to kill him, my dog was 6 months old then and the Alsatian was 1yr 4months old yet my dog was bullying it.
I later found out the owner uses pipe to beat his dogs.

[quote author=jahsharon post=84388195][/quote]actually dogs can understand when they do good and they are being congratulated and celebrated, if you have a dog you'll understand what I'm saying.
people get happy with there dogs when they kill snakes In the compound or stop robbers, is it stopping a terrorist that doesn't require celebration?
and what is the madness there in celebrating a military unit that had an important part to play in stopping a national threat?
the fact that you're angry over a dog getting a medal shows how much inferiority complex you have , are you jealous of a dog? lmao
abeg relax maybe if you make yourself useful in your country too you'll get your own medal
congrats Conan!

NevetsIbot:
I actually do not like touching the about even as much as I feel it's too sensitive a place to even handle with

that's why I prefer tapping the snout, beating the dog's body is more painful to your hand than the dog especially when you have all these muscular or hairy breeds, I don't mean actually slapping the snout tho, just a tap is enough or even a flick with the fingers is enough.
one tap to the snout is more effective than several slaps on the butt
sometimes you don't even need to tap the snout just hold it and look at the dog in the face and use the "put down" command(some people use "bad dog" or "stop it" or "relax" and the dog will understand and calm down

NevetsIbot:
Well. I see you've seen quite a handful of experiences but if there's one thing common tho the dogs in this case , they were not socialized at all with even their owners talk more of outsiders. And again, these dogs were treated as tools.. that's all... Chaining up a dog and locking it all days is inhumane and that's even adding fire to the case of aggression the dog has.


My Rottweiler here, Khal lives in the house, socializes all through the day... Now barks when he needs to poop.... When we take walks, he walks by me or just a few inches before me.. doesn't even mind passersby and keeps calm when anyone greets me or stands to chat. Whenever I see a nice foreign breed in a compound, I talk with the owner and let both dogs interact - No trace of undue aggression. Once I introduce anyone to him, it stays that way.
But don't come near my doorstep if he doesn't know you, He's all up and defensive - we fondly call him Officer Khal Drogo of the US K9 section when he does his little patrols - See the amount of success I've had with my dog? With the spanks and beating he gets when he gets overboard a few time like destroying a few stuffs of eating from a bowl that's not his or not waiting for someone to take him out before he does business.I do not even see a reason to wear a mouth guard for him. - same story was for my 9yr old German shepherd who only had animal aggression and a particular blood lust for adventurous goats that wandered too far.

See?? Not too much, not to small and with a lot of socialization, balance!

By the way, How's Roscoe?

yeah that's the way to go, try and balance the training and don't try to use fear to control your dog if not one day it might backfire.
if you're positive with your dog most of the time the dog will turn out fine, it's usually dogs that are treated like crap that have issues.
and Roscoe is doing great thanks for asking

BOWOTO:
No never. He has more honor than a dog. Forget what the media tells you. Without humans, dogs can go extinct.

sure yeah let's arrange their medals and see who has acquired more honour?
whether dog or cat or lizard, the honour is still valid so don't downplay it and feel because you are a human you have more honour
if him and that dog should go out who do you think will have more titles, rank and respect?
and FYI wolves survived for years without humans and they are still doing it

vincentjk:
I personally don't beat my dogs rather body language, eye contacts and little scoldings send fear into them

But when they annoy me so well I got no option than to kick or spank their ass

same with me
although I don't spank his ass sha I prefer the snout, spanking the ass will hurt my hand more than it'll hurt him.
a tap on the snout does the trick

NevetsIbot:
I understand your view sir and I am very much aware of positive and Negative reinforcement.... I use them also and have gotten my dog to reach a certain level of obedience and training..

I only resort to the cane when I've exhausted all positive and Negative reinforcement training I've found online.... And not, it's not a daily thing. I have a very strong willed Rottweiler,l so I need to go extra mile.

That said, the dog only cowers in fear when he knows he's done wrong... He's my personal buddy, follows me everywhere in the house, loves people and plays a lot (too much for my liking)

I'm just saying this.... With positive and Negative reinforcement I've succeeded a lot with my dogs and the beating on the lower back and a whole lot of play time and socialization is like a push towards the right path.

And we might beat around the bush about this but my dog knows when he gets a beating for something he's done or destroyed as he's disciplined on the spot right there.

Well.. different methods for different owners.


About dogs turning on their owners, I spent a lot of time reading on that last night and I kind of saw quite a few situations.. ion know how these owners trained their dogs but I know I've not seen a dog over here turn on its owner.. never.

really? if you check you'll see a lot It's just not usually carried by the media unlike if it happens in another country let me give you a few stories I've personally seen here in nigeria;
* I've seen a boerbel that was so aggressive and mean to everyone including the owner, the dog basically lived in the cage like a wild animal because people were scared of it, one day it bit the owner and gripped so hard and refused to let go so they had to pour hot water on the dog and lock it up without food for a week. after a week, they had to call a dog trainer to carry the dog away, the dog became so lean and weak that they tied it up like a goat and put a mouth guard on it. currently the dog has been rehabilitated and treated and is now calm and loving towards it's new owner(the dog trainer).
* I've seen a Caucasian that was stuck on it's chain because it's owners were scared of touching the dog due to it's aggression, they had to use stick to be moving food to it and dragging the plate back. the dog didn't let anyone even come close to it no matter who it was, the vet had to advice them to either sell the dog to someone who can handle it or put it down.
* I've seen a situation where a man flogged his two bullmastiffs because they urinated in the water his gateman was using to wash the car and they hospitalized him. when he came back from his treatment the dogs came back to greet him as if nothing happened.
* I've seen a Caucasian that they had to sell because it refused to cohabit with the other dogs in the compound, the dog wanted to dominate every dog there and it was causing too much trouble.
* I've seen a Caucasian that didn't let the owner enter the compound because it didn't know him(the man had a gateman that takes care of the dog he only provided money and left) he had to call his vet by 11:43pm to subdue the dog before he could enter his own house
* there's a gsd/Caucasian mix not too far from my house that the owner cannot take it for walks anymore because of it's reckless aggression, the dog stays in a Rusty cage all day long and no one except the owner can even touch or feed the dog, the dog also has a nasty wound on it's nose gotten from forcing it's head through an opening in the rusty cage to bark at people always that's infected and the nose is an eye sore but calling a vet to attend to the dog is an issue.
there are more but let me just stop here, people loose control over their dogs in Nigeria a lot and if you check both online and in real life you'll see.
do you think it's everybody that can walk with there dog freely on the road? some people cannot control their dogs so they just lock them up and free them at night that they're "security dogs" .
time to vaccinate the dogs they cannot even leave the house and take the dog to the vet because the dog cannot handle the sight of crowds and noise so they call a vet to come over so they can tie their dogs to protector like Turkey for the vet to work, some cannot even put mouth guard on their own dogs.
it's not everybody you see with a dog that hasn't mauled them that you say the person has control over their dog.

vincentjk:
I'll share you a picture soon when i find it

I know a boerbel can come with this look, it's just not very probable that a rare variation of boerbel is in Nigeria just randomly like that.
that's why I said it's either mixed or just a different variation of boerbel.
I like the dog either way tbh, it looks good
