Boerboels can be super clingy to their owners and will follow them everywhere. My boy was socialized from the day after we got him. Out in public with lots of people, noises and smells. Now just 8 months old and has always loved being out and meeting people, loves kids and is a flirt with the ladies. Lets hope this breed doesn't go the road of pitties and bullies and get over popular, over breed and dumped when ignorant lazy owners don't train and socialize them properly. You can still have a well trained and socialized dog who will defend their family and house.
Velcro dogs! I can't turn in a circle without tripping over mine.
100%. I was hoping the AKC would not recognize them , it’s only been within the past 10 years . I have heard of people crossing Boerboels with Pits and calling them “ street pits” . The Boerboel is a wonderful breed , I was first introduced to the breed when I was in South Africa. My first one was born in the states but his mother “bitch” was Imported when she was pregnant.
I doubt if boerboels would ever go the road of pitbulls. There are completely different mindset. They were bred to make decisions on their own without any guidance at all. These dogs are very methodical and intelligent they seem to know a real threat from a benign threat they also seem to know small animals and children are of no threat. I've owned many dogs in my life at 59 years and this dog blows my mind how strong smart intelligent and yet almost self-controlled she is.
Our boy is such a baby, he's 8 now and just as bad as when he was a puppy 😂 definitely not a dog who needs alone time
Can't agree with you more. I have a three month old and he's a hard puppy. Stubborn and hard headed. He's learning slowly and I love my puppy. Can't wait to take him running after teaching him, going hiking, visiting friends, ECT. That's my way of having fun.
Good job with the puppy , this breed is being destroyed by most breeders that only focus on beauty contests , this breed is very sensitive and needs experienced trainers like you , it’s not a breed for everyone but when you do find a proper boerboel this dogs are the best in the world . Again good Job and the puppy is gorgeous I’m pretty sure it have some dogs that are on most of our dogs pedigrees as I know that type of head well ;)
We started socializing ours at around 8 weeks, we've had 4 over the years and never had issues. Such great dogs. Some people should just stick to poodles.

You can mess up with poodles too.Lets just encourage training.😂
Unfortunately here in SA, we are forced to train our Boerboels to not accept food from strangers due to our criminal elements using a poison called 2-STEP/Aldicarb to kill the animals to allow them to break into the homes. It's terrible for the animals so we have to socialise them another way. Sad but true!
I love this breed, can't believe I missed your upload yesterday. Keep on killing it Garrett, give us all you got!!!
If you do more work with this pup would love to see the training sessions and progress for Macho. Awesome for the owner to have reached out at 4.5 mos and not waiting. What an incredible beast of a dog!
Yes please!

4.5 months old and he's already 85 lbs. The crazy thing about animals that are 120 lbs+ and muscular is that they don't even need to open their mouths to do serious damage, a good tackle or lunge and you will be seeing stars and possibly breaking a few bones. The shining light about mastiff breeds and other "scary" dog breeds(German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman) is that they are all highly intelligent and they have a love for learning. Good training makes all the difference in the world.
Lol my boys tail is intact, he's done my male associates some serious damage in the past 🤣
@@jessicagislason4855 Man those tails are no joke!
Boerboel literally means farmer's dog (Dutch and Afrikaans origin). They were used by farmers (boers) in South Africa for protection from lions. It would take a pack of four to six boerboels to take down a lion. By way of comparison a lion has a bite force of 650 psi and a Boerboel's is 800 psi. They are extremely powerful, strong low centre of gravity, so it's hard to move or control them and they are cut like body builders. When threatened they spread both hind legs back as far back as possible to plant themselves and it's almost impossible to move them when they are in this position. As protectors they instinctively put themselves between you and any danger. You don't have to train them to do this, it is all basic instinct. Wonderful with families and look after children. They are very gentle around kids, but they are totally unaware of their own power and size and can knock a kid over by accident. They certainly do not lack in the confidence area. They are scared of nothing. They do need lots of socialising because you don't want them seeing everything as a threat to the owner and they need a fair amount of exercise and space. Please make sure you have a big garden and don't leave them alone for long periods of time. Give them jobs to do in play and take them on long walks off the leash so they can run and explore and experience new smells and surroundings for stimulation. Definitely needs an alpha male owner to understand his order in the family pack. They respond to rewards, love, trust and respect, not threats. But a strong tug on the collar is often needed during training. Stunning dogs.
Where did you get that super high bite force number of 800psi? The turkish dogs(kangal, malakli etc) have the strongest bite force, then second comes the cane corso, neither of which are listed over 750psi
No dogs can take on Lions, it's been proven over hundreds of years of blood sports and baiting. They used to send packs of bulldogs in through the bars and bet how long the lion took to kill/cripple them because lions don't always kill they mostly cripple/maim then leave it to bleed out on the floor thus not risking further injury, lions only kill to eat. Baiting is also how we know that bears kill lions every single time because the lions skull is too weak. The only dogs used to hunt lions were Ridgeback Hounds, a large pack of hounds will hound a lion into bushes they will then circle it so it cannot go anywhere while the hunter comes and shoots it, exactly the same way they hunt foxes or any other animal. Boerboels are for protecting farmland from smaller animals. The lowest average weight for a lion is 180kg and a Boerboel weighs 50-60kg, one swipe from a lion and the dog dies you do realise that right? Lions kill, eat and fight off gangs of Hyenas that are bigger than Boerboels, Hyenas weigh 70-100kg which is almost double a Boerboel, have a bigger bite PSI than anything around and move in clans of up to 100 individuals, 5 Hyenas will kill and eat 5 Boerboels in a fight, Hyenas run from Lions.
@@micahrobinson530 Hyenas, Tigers and Lions all have 1000+ psi bite force, bears have even more, Im pretty sure Polar bears have 1200-1500 psi bite.
@@micahrobinson530 The only dog that ever took on lions is the English Mastiff the father of all dogs, the Romans took it to the Collosseum in Rome where they fought gladiators, lions and everything else, a legendary Mastiff once stood over his downed master and protected him at the battle of Agincourt. Every breed of dog in this world descends from the mastiff, even the pug a breed from antiquity (been around for thousands of years) is a descendant of the mastiff it's why they come sandy with a black face, where do you think a Kangal (black face) Anatolian shepherd comes from? Even bloodhounds, everything comes from them... The Mastiff is King and progenitor of all man's dogs yet they're literally going extinct, imagine that.
@@jc6087 actually lion bite force is only 625 psi :p
Oh and yeah, BTW; thanks again for another great video keep up the good work, I’m impressed and have started using a few techniques that you do. I never used the e-collar back in the day during my training and competition . But then again all my dogs were shepherds. With that being said, I know the e collar isn’t used specifically for one particular breed. I now have a rescue Am Staff. He’s a whole different story and I’ve started using the e-collar, however because I had never used one before, I studied your videos intently so I could have that skill in my head before I started using it on Koda. Not training for competition, so if he’s a little sloppy because of me, that’s ok as long as he listens and he focuses on me and we have that connection. Thanks again for sharing your skills with people especially ones that are just starting out. I’ve referred a granddaughter of mine to your KZhead channel. I live to far away to show her what to do so the next best thing is your videos.
I can't afford the courses but even seeing the longer KZhead videos is a big help
Dude, you are the man. As an aspiring dog trainer, I use most of your techniques on my husky, and they allow me to have success with other pups. The way you deliver your information is 🔥🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 thanks for the help 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m also a huge fan of your IG.
There is a lot of psychology in training your dog. There is a lot of psychology in your dog training you. It is a chess game.👍
Get out an work other breeds. Some easy ones like Goldens and Labs. Then little fluff balls. Get into sporting and working breeds. Don’t forget the herding breeds!!! Every single dog needs a different approach. Working with just your dog will not give you the variation you need to be a successful trainer. Good luck!!!
Chris is the perfect example of the exact kind of person who should not own guardian breeds, especially not a Boerboel. At least he was not too proud to get professional intervention.
Agree with you totally early socializing is key..I watch people on walks and they pull their dog away and have know idea if they had educated themselves it wouldn't be a struggle to walk their dogs..great training 😉
That’s a nice fit 85 pounds. Notice the abdomen is tucked not swole. Nice work!
I just got my first boerboel for mother's Day. she's a two-and-a-half-year-old female but now I want to breed her and keep one of her pups. I don't think I'm ever going to have a any other kind of dog again except for a boerboel. She's so incredibly intelligent and a fierce guard dog and yet gentle and loving as a lamb she's also very human-like the way that she just stares in my eyes when I'm talking to her as if she understands every word I'm saying. It took me 9 months before I could handle her on a leash. They truly are unaware of their own strength she dragged me at least three times it took a lot of time spent with her in order to manage her on a leash. I've had many dogs over the years but I am absolutely sold on boerboels they're awesome amazing guard dogs companion dogs. They're also very keen when it comes to recognizing benign threats versus real threats. They are built for guard dogs and their Spirit should never be broken just guided. I am totally against over socializing a good guard dog. Also my dog is not allowed to take treats from anyone unless I give her the okay first the same goes for petting I don't allow any stranger to pet her unless I give my dog the ok first
No no no!!! Unless you have an excellent specimen with full health clearances and the true temperament of the breed, have studies pedigrees and know how to create a better dog, have the time and money to breed (it can cost thousands to do it right) leave the breeding to the pro’s.
@@1packatak Agreed.
We adopted during Covid, our pup was still socialized and trained. I’m all for taking precautions and we did, we also knew it was going back to normal and we couldn’t have a freaked out pup at the end of it.
The hardest part in being a dog trainer even an awesome one at that is training the crazy owners, especially when they don’t have a clue of what they’re doing. I praised the dog owners that actually move forward in getting themselves trained along with their dogs, but there’s so many of them out there that don’t have a clue, ruin the dog and make a bad name for the breed and there you have it.
My Cane Corso is the same way. Extremely nervous and will not take food. He gets better with repetition but it has been a lot of work for sure. The funny thing is he has more confidence at night. I’ve never heard anyone address the difference between night and day. It’s like Cringer during the day and Battle cat at night. 🤔
That’s what happened to my dog. I couldn’t socialize her because of Covid and when the lock down was over she did not like going to public places. She didn’t even like going on walks where there were a lot of people. A lot of consistent training and she’s great now. But I have it much easier because my dog is a yorki mix. I can’t compare the dogs but the situation was the same. Much luck to you 👍🏼
So glad you finally have this breed on.
People think you can get some training techniques and obedience practices to try at home obedience practices and the dog will be trained. Not with these breeds. They’re too smart and when you train one thing they’ll try another behavior and another until they find a weakness where there is a lack of structure, you don’t hold them accountable, and they are allowed to make the decisions instead of looking to you. It’s like trying to squeeze a ballon into the ball of your hand when you have a 5yo sized hand. It’s gonna pop out somewhere. They just know whether you know what they’re trying to do, and once they recognize you do, they follow and are chill unless you tell them not to be. I adore that cheekiness and the fact EVERY interaction in the first couple of years is training, but not everyone enjoys it, especially if they’re not earning the dog’s respect. I’ve seen so many dogs come back from a board & train and they go straight back to the way they were because the owner has no idea. I’d rather tell the owner to take 2 weeks off and train him. He can then deal with the dog onwards. No point training a dog like this and then giving it to an owner who doesn’t even understand the fundamentals of obedience, socialization, the breed characteristics, or structure.
Well said...! 👍I like your analogy of squeezing the balloon in the hand cuz the dog is going to try every single way to get out of your hand so to speak. and maybe try to dominate.. It does take about 2 years of living with the dog and studying each other extremely studying each other cuz I tell people that's what the puppy they get is going to do, it's going to study you it's going to record every single thing you say or do in its mind every tone of voice body gesture everything they can remember about you and will use it against you LOL. It's not so tough if you have any easy going little breed. But big dogs that can kill me or someone else out on the breaks. My puppies go to experienced people. I almost try to scare potential customers off. I'm very interested in seeing how the situation with this dog turns out and while the trainer didn't ask him why did you buy such a big dog you need to take it back LOL. But on the other hand the trainer may have a two or three year long job training this dog so that would be good for the trainer
Having raised an intact male boerboel, training 24/7 is so important. And if you want them to be good with random people /dogs... Extensively socialization is needed. Some folks want the aloofness and guardian in them moreso so you won't socialize as much. People say these guys are not for first time people with such a powerful breed. But i can refute that.... I never had any experience with this type of breed. I did extensive research and talked to many people who own them. Learning, the best method that worked for me was NILF... Nothing.. In.. Life... Is free... Meaning your dog must work for everything.
The important thing is you researched the breed, properly trained, and socialized him. You also sound like you have a strong work ethic. The problems come when people get a Boerboel expectation a Golden Retriever. They do not understand how to work with a Guardian breed. They get intimidated and isolate the dog, causing big problems with the dog.. that's why they are not for beginners or people that are not dedicated.
NILIF should be used on every dog!!! Good for you for doing your research and then following through with training❤
To the owner of the dog: *your baby brother wants his shirt back!!*
That is such a gorgeous dog! Look at his eyes 🥹
Beautiful pup! Unfortunately the breed often is like this. I look forward to seeing his progress with you😊
would love to see this dog now. been wanting a boerboel for a loooong time now
3:38 👍🏽‼️ More dog owners need to understand this.
I never knew what a Boerboel dog was until I went to adopt some kind of a Mastiff after having two mastiff mixes. In my life I’ve just found my dogs keep getting bigger and bigger. I went to Arizona mastiff rescue after filling out a very long form for adoption. I lived in the LA area so it was a drive. They had a Boerboel for adoption that was about 2 1/2 years old. Due to my application they were really hoping that I would be the right adopter. The dog would always be inside with me and I needed to be able to take him to my office (I am a therapist) I had never never thought that I would get such an incredible dog. When I got him home I discovered that he had already been to Boot Camp because when I walked him I found that he was healing to the left side and because I was walking later at night at CSUN (i used to live across the street from the campus) I decided to let him off leash and he never left my left side. I thought I was gonna have to take him to Boot Camp but I knew right away he’d already been there. I can’t imagine who or why anybody would’ve given up this incredible dog. He is now starting to slow down and I probably won’t have him for too much longer. I have absolutely love this dog and I’m an older lady I’m about to turn 70. The only problem that I had with him is that he would not let other dogs around me. I managed to get it so that a dog could get within 4 feet and so I would tell an owner that my dog is not really dog friendly but if you keep them at a 4 foot distance everything will be fine. I guess he decided I was a sheep and he needed to guard me😂 because this is not a well-known breed I couldn’t seem to find a trainer that knew how to help him get along with other dogs which apparently he’s been able to do at the adoption center. I had read up on their training and everybody that I ran into had a more harsh way of training them to be OK around other dogs. I knew from my reading that this was wrong. Probably like all mastiffs they need a firm hand that is also a kind hand. He was standoffish of people in the beginning but I would take him to outdoor malls to walk him around sometimes and people would want to pet him. So what I did was to make him sit and I could tell he had a business face on😅 So I would tell him he’s OK he’s OK until I saw the wrinkles and Guarding business Drop off. Then I would tell the person that it was OK to pet him. After a few months of doing that he began to become more relaxed in public. I can say you never have to worry about them losing their guarding instinct by making them friendly to people outside. I don’t even think you could get the guarding instinct out without actually killing him😮 i’m going to miss Bruno very very much when he goes and I’m not looking forward to it. I’ve already thought about what kind of dog I would get next. I live by myself in the mountains in a small community, and I would love to have another Boerboel because I fell in love with the breed. My only concern is this ,we jokingly call this place Dog Holler because there’s about 35 people in the neighborhood along with tons of animals and about 45 dogs. For those of you who owned Boerboels or know more about them I’m wondering if there’s any way that I could guarantee he would get along with other dogs. Literally it would be the only drawback I could see to getting another one. Because of my age I would probably take him to Boot Camp at the same time I would not mind adopting again. I can’t imagine how a Boerboel feels that gets dumped. I have never had a dog as loyal and to be dumped it’s just inconceivable to me.
Your doing good job I do have this type of dog and I believe they need way more training then other dogs
My BB IS one crazy mo fo!! 😅 great lessons thx you!!
One thing is dogs are like people same mum same dad. But some are more aggressive some just confident n happy.
I love this breed. If I didn’t have a Cane Corso, I’d have this.
I’ve found the best way to train a dog is get them around well balanced dogs from the youngest age as possible day to day and interacting with people familiarising everyday noises what they see they’ll learn and I’ve never had any issues with any of my boerboels ever.
I'm starting to fall in love with them man.
Hi Sir Wish you lived in Denmark. Your work is excelent. What a Dream to have a dog trained by you. Regardars Thomas
I am South African and that Boerboel is gorgeous.
I am a Boerboel and South Africans are gorgeous.
This puppy flinched when a hand got near his face. This level of anxiety is learned and makes me sad for this dog.
Amazing what you can do loved it
I love boerboels❤
Oh wow man, so awesome seeing you train one of our Proudly South African dogs. A boerboel is a beast but is a gentle giant in the family. Scarier than a Rottweiler though.

Having owned Rotties I agree with that statement!!!!!
Beautiful dog
My boerboel pup gets here next week - I have some larger diameter herm sprenger collars - which size do you recommend for first 2-6 months?
Kinda strange for someone to have this breed and need this basic guidance. Dude’s gonna have his hands full as this is for people who know how to train dogs well and understand dog behavior. Otherwise this breed is a liability.
100 percent. I thought the exact same thing.
I agree with you. I didn't start off with powerful dogs. I have learned over much time and experience before I got my BIG Dogs. Having this level of dog takes having master's degree in dog psychology and behavior. As for being a liability, definitely, he is sitting on a powder keg. I wanted to add that if it was an option to leave the pup longer with his mother and whatever puppies are left still just to get some basics. I'm betting this puppy left at 2 months or younger. And to a guy that doesn't have his master's degree in behavioral psychology with dogs lol.
@@americanvikinggsd4631 No dog like this should leave before 12 weeks without exception. That’s a really good point. Mama will teach good manners and chill best until then.
We have no idea if they also have a newborn and a reason they couldn't socialize. Sometimes certain dogs just need the extra help. No way that the owner is clueless. Let's build up not brake down.
@@momma2thewilds88 Sorry, be this is a recipe for disaster. Rather be realistic.
A good looking dog
You're the man..! Great job.RLTW
Mainly bred to fend off or hunt big game in africa. Not just lions.Great job ,amazing dogs, but also "velcro dogs", its in their blood line as those who ran off got shot. If they ran off from the farm they where supposed to protect they where of no use. Hence why he is so depended of his dad. Not saying all dogs arent, but boerboel are extremly attached to their owners, its in their blood and are going to be hard to work on. Again lovly dogs,but damn stubborn breed, i have had 2 and are on my 3rd now.
Bro. bought a bad batch! For him to stand a chance, he would have to run into the cowardly lion. Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
I have a pit/lab mix female named Loki. She just turned 5. Within the last two years she is getting worse with thunderstorms. Is there any tips to help her feel more at ease? Now we have to use medicine and it makes her a zombie and I don’t like it. She has tried to chew the door frame to get out she is so scared and she never chews anything up.
Would love to have one. ....but damn they get huge!
How big is he now? Is there a latest video or pic. of him?
when this dog turns 18 month old is when he will really need your help, it is an omg event.
I have Boerboels and when I see pinch collars, I cringe. They will develop a resistance to that initial pain as a pup, then see that pulling as a “challenge” as an adult. Just walking a dog with a pinch collar the only thing the dog will learn is the distance it can go BEFORE it starts to feel pain.
you dont know how to use prong collar then. its just correction tool it doesnt stop the dog from pulling by its own.
Do you book sessions with Humans too? I have a friend with bad anxiety
Fearfulness in dogs is probably the hardest problem to fix... Aggressiveness can at least be controlled with structure. Fearfulness however... It's difficult.
Boerbols are serious velco dogs, just as bad as any Yorkie lol, hell hit 12 months and be going full speed, our boy was just as bad, then he hit dumb teenage boy brain and wanted all up in everything, learned some self control after he literally jumped on a porcupine 🤦 it was a good lesson in caution lol. Good socialization at his families side is all this puppy needs.
Wondering if you can partner (not breeding but action )them with Rhodesian ridgeback .
I have a scared solid muscle 135 lb french mastiff Owned 5 of these dogs Expected he’d grow out of it but hasn’t He’s almost 3 Great dog w us but
thats a 4month old puppy god dam is big.
What collar is that ?
You could put a thousand dollar bill in with a turantula, I'm NOT getting in there!
They stay puppy Till about 1 year old. From there no one will come close to your family. Friend and protector from there.
What breeder is he from? Great looking dog.
How do I get one of those collars?
I helped my mom train German shepherds and we trained them not to accept food from strangers because burglars would poison dogs to be able to get into houses with dogs. They were trained to only eat from their bowls. So a very different aporoach here.
Anthony Bored-dain over here 🤣🤣🤣
Have you ever seen a dog that bit the person giving it treats? How would you handle that?
It's great that his ears aren't cropped.
You said the dog is very much associated with "Daddy" is that a bad thing wanting to be with the handler in this case? How would you desensitised your dog like this if you are a handler without giving your dog to another person and the handler going away?
It does not have to be another handler. If you can appropriately hold your dog accountable and provide the structure that they need to be confident then you will succeed just as much as a trainer. The problem is when the owner/handler allows the dog to escape the situation by whatever means whether it be aggression reactiveness or just trying to escape. You have to hold them accountable and give them a job to do so that they can just get through it and learn that they're going to be okay
That dog is incredibly under socialized. It's kind of wild how scared he is. I hope the owner of this dog has some experience and didn't get a boerboel as his first dog.
What breeder did this puppy come from?
Good stuff. This is real life shit right here. What the trainer is doing is called counter conditioning.
Thank you, Adam!
Have GD that was about to be physically attacked by smaller dog t vet. All other dogs were leash or in carriers . Stepped between by reflex . Now my dog is scared of everything . I am giving her a refresher training and she’s catching on fast , but looking every where (on alert all the time when we go to another location except back yard )Have tried the treat method, no food for one day, and taking her out to stores and slowly introducing to noises..loud ones . Am I just wishing her to be accustoming faster to soon? She was trained on basic and began the scent training which she was pickup fast) when this all happened… any suggestions ?
Well done!! I like this trainer.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am thinking of buying one a pup. How much cost is it to own one? I’m also from the USA
depends on how big of a dog you want. you can always go to animal shelter and pick a dog for free. cost of sustaining one basically can range anywhere from 500 dollars-3 500 dollars per year. depending on the dog.
Mine was on the low end at 1500, but they're easily 2000, plus at least 50$ a month for a 45 lb bag of food, and they are extremely energetic so they get hurt a lot probably 3000$ in vet bills and if you get a male you'll likely need to find a specialty vet if you're neutering, they're often too big for most vets 😬 also looking at a 1500$ bill if they bite someone easy, and they chew up everything so like another 40$ in dog toys per month. That's how much we e spent on ours and mine isn't even a pedigree show dog he's African import lines, so probably not even close to some people's expense.
Ive heard the a friendly breed. When used to things and people.
Take your glasses off so he can see your eyes… oh god
Too much dog for the owner
Where can I get one ?
Better do your research on the breed. They're not for beginners or the weak.
I don't know for sure but the guy in the video probably does lol.
@@SilentSaver I kind of think if he has to ask where/ who to get one from, he is probably joking. But then again the customer in the video probably said the same thing around 6 months ago lol.
A breeder, hope you have 10,000$ to spare though, my boy has racked me up more bills in 8 years than my other 6 dogs combined over 14 years🤦 1500$ a puppy, specialized vet for neutering, they are athletic and therefore get injured, my boy literally tore off his own toenail THRICE, and got a chest full of porcupine quills, they also get eat infections and you need a king bed if you want any space 🤦 They are great dogs but definitely not cheap or easy to own, could absolutely not live in anything less than house with a yard either.
My Boerboel's & Rotti's can't be bribed, they learn fast with Good Repetition, Praise & "immediate" (verbal and leash) Reprimand when needed... Know what needs to be accomplished & how your going to do it before you give your commands to do it? ; ) What is DOG spelled backwards? You must learn to READ Your Dog first and then your dog will learn to read you...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀
FURTHERMORE Boerboels are literal Velcro dogs. They don’t want to leave your side. This dog has no bond w the owner. This guy isn’t a good trainer. Dog is exhausted by the end of this video.
True that's one of the reasons their confidence is so high because they're next to their owner constantly. I have to literally peel my boerboel off and that's not easy because she loves to use her weight and lean against me when I read her up on the sofa with me. my dog from the day I brought her home was filled with fearless confidence.
Did this guy just speak Spanish !?
That dog doesn't look like 85# at all
All muscle very dense dog there huge Mt buddy has one
Teaching a dog like this is like a marriage in the way that you better never F🤔😋k-Up. You need a lot of experience and history with dogs to have such a powerful dog. Or at least have two master degrees in psychology and behavior. LOL I'm so interested in seeing how this turns out. I know the trainer can get the job done personally but the owner needs a million hours of training himself.
I just got my first boerboel for mother's Day. she's a two-and-a-half-year-old female but now I want to breed her and keep one of her pups. I don't think I'm ever going to have a any other kind of dog again except for a boerboel. She's so incredibly intelligent and a fierce guard dog and yet gentle and loving as a lamb she's also very human-like the way that she just stares in my eyes when I'm talking to her as if she understands every word I'm saying. It took me 9 months before I could handle her on a leash. They truly are unaware of their own strength she dragged me at least three times it took a lot of time spent with her in order to manage her on a leash. I've had many dogs over the years but I am absolutely sold on boerboels they're awesome amazing guard dogs companion dogs. They're also very keen when it comes to recognizing benign threats versus real threats. They are built for guard dogs and their Spirit should never be broken just guided.
Why would you teach a dog to take food from strangers? Especially this dog? Why get a guardian breed if you want it to be friendly to strangers. The dog is literally supposed to be wary of strangers. Being wary doesn’t mean aggressive either. My dog doesn’t pay attention to people. He pays attention to me. That’s the goal. That’s why you train a dog. Treats from strangers. Insane
Amen

These dog get very suspicious with age and they are easily as tall as a grown man on their hind legs, they are naturally wary, and they are guardian breed, not a guard dog breed, they originally worked the farms in South Africa and defended against trespassers, baboons, leopards etc. They are naturally wary and make decisions very fast, you want a Boerbol to be very open minded because they can send you to the hospital without trying, much less a stranger. You raise a dog with good judgement and they are perfectly capable of common sense while being friendly, they are incredibly smart and very eager to learn. My boy is a absolute love bug, wants hugs and cuddles 24/7 that being said, if we get injured, impaired or he finds something suspicious he will be right Infront of us tail up keeping a lookout, they are just as clever as any malinois with 10 times the power, you do not give these dogs any leeway in the behavior department because they can and have killed people, you do not want anything but a eager and happy to please Boerbol.
@@jessicagislason4855 yes they are very intelligent and observative. chatting with My neighbor's when the uncle came from out of town and he picked up the 5 year old, my girl stopped playing with the dogs and rushed up to check out this man she didn't know picking the child up once she deciphered the child was good and everything legit she went back to playing... just incredible because they aren't family to us but Honey badger is still looking after the neighbors kids 😉
You keep getting flak from dumb dumbs but you are doing God’s work helping dogs and owners. If you get flak, it’s from flying over the target.
Mate had a american bulldog. Didnt socialise em well, me an my brother he would let us in the house then freak out n growl eveytime we moved. Didnt like it. Had a pittbull bitch. She was great guard dog but if i let people in she was fine. Said to em not comin round bro dogs givin me the shits. It was scared n shifty looking. Thanx
I'm mad that such people with so low knowledge about dogs are buying serios breeds like this.. I mean they've ride a bicycle once, what would be the problem with flying a plane wright?? Just look at the back legs of that poor puppy he's destroying him with high protein food too early!! 😡 Puppy is growing too fast! Not good! Not good!
Dog looks fine to me given I own a Boerbol, they go from 20lbs to 100lbs in literally 8-10 months, our boy is direct Nigerian lines so he's more lanky stayed at 90-95 fist year and then hit and topped out at 145-50 his second year. They are very athletic dogs so leg to body proportion looks a little wierd in their growth faze.
I understand the overall idea of this exercise but i myself will never encourage my dogs to take food from strangers as a form of any training, quite the opposite really. The all important foodies are coming from me and mine only, no exception. Professional trainers if needed maybe but some strangers in a store?. Nope, thats no go.
Why would you train a puppy, for the first time, at a fucking shopping mall?! That’s not fair. That dog is beyond stressed out an the guy knows it! Waaaaay to much stimulation for a dog to listen or interpret… PLUS you train a puppy like 3-5 minutes at a time. MAX.
This is an average trainer at best. Lays it on real thick. Bit of a blowhard IMO. This owner is a tool too. Tribal tats, pickup truck and a big dog. Classic. Guy doesn’t have the intellect to read a dog I own a Boerboel. Don’t get one. 99% of people don’t want the responsibility to work a dog that still wants to work. Most breeds have been so watered down. Not true for a Boerboel. Amazing dogs, but they need daily work/stimulation. If I don’t work w my dog for two days he’s unruly as hell. Need to do something w this dog every day to drain his energy.
Ooh, man it’s the keyboard warrior sigma male Mike freakin’ Goolsby! Calling a literal police dog trainer “average” Mike Goolsby’s should really be known as Mike “Coolsby”. He has two perfectly well trained Cani Corsi himself. Word of advice: go back to volunteering at your local SPCA instead of criticizing people who actually train Cani Corsi, Malinois, GSDs, Presa Canarios, etc. on a daily basis.
it’s curr cold pup i can tell
