If the dog would have went up to Lakota to attack her, I would have let Burley go to protect her

or to at least disrupt what was going on.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to my podcast and my second YouTube channel. I was unfortunately

approached by an off-leash dog today and it was terrifying. So what happened was is Burley. I have a

mastive. He's a massive mastiff. He's a South African borgal. I have a Dutch shepherd. And my Dutch

shepherd, Lakota, is a, what I call level three dog. So when I work with obedience, level three is that

Yoda dog. They could be off leash and they will listen to you no matter what. And so she was off

leash. My mastiff is not so much that dog. He listens good, but he has some instinctual drives that I don't, I'm not naive to, right? So we're out for a walk and beautiful day, beautiful morning. Everything is great. And I look up and I see this black lab staring so

Lakota is in front of me let's say 25 feet and this black lab is staring at me

at 30 feet away so he's really close to her and then I have burleigh which is 25

feet away from both of them so she's ahead of me and this black lab just starts growling

showing his teeth and then kind of bouncing over to Lakota. Now the reason why I was happy to see that

because the reason why dogs will bounce is it's it's a very insecure tough guy chest puffing type of maneuver, right?

So they're basically like, I'm big and bad, you should run away.

And so Lakota being the confident, how should I say, female she is, she just stood there

and was like, what are you going to do?

She's, Lakota is an extremely, she's a 10 year old, extremely confident, no BS,

will put you in your place no matter how big, small, old, or young you are. And that's what

I love about her. And, you know, it's, it kind of stinks because my wife and I were talking

about this is, I don't know if you guys have ever had this happen within your life with dogs, but every year that I, that I, or I should say every dog that I've had have kind of passed down specific traits and very specific type of teachings, right?

So Lola, my dog that she had her, she lived until she was like 16 to

18, we think around this. She was really, really old. I had her like all my 20s, half my 30s.
