Need tips on taming a dog
-
Teach him some new tricks, go on some walks, and be consistent with what you expect from him with regard to behaviors. They are working dogs so they have a lot of need for both exercise and work. They will pick up quickly on new behaviors so long as their need for exercise is being met and you are communicating consistently, which means praise and a reward for doing what you want and none otherwise.

@zoro I think Michael Ellis is a great pet dog trainer.
So is Ivan Balabanov.
Try this:

Anything with Ellis and Balabanov will show how working dogs think....

@Regina Thanks! I’ll check this now!!

@Peatriot He’s very energetic and I try to match his energy, but sometimes he gets a bit to excited and starts jumping and biting. Haven’t yet figured out a good way to reprehend this behavior. I will watch the recommended channels below

@MB He is very energetic and aggressive, a bit more than the last one we had that died last year. Not used to it but I’ll sure take him on walks

@zoro I rasied a doberman. She was AMAZING but required intense devotion. She absolutely loved training. She would wag her tail and train for hours, and was so happy when she would figure out commands.
Just get a bag of treats and teach him some commands. The more time you are able to spend giving him this one on one attention, the happier he will be.

@zoro If he starts biting, try to get him to grab onto a toy instead. Puppies often will be nippy until they're a year or two old, so just try to encourage him to divert the attention to a toy instead and it should work out over time. Jumping can be tough to break but try turning around and ignoring him while jumping. The biggest thing is to try to give the dog enough exercise and engagement that they can level out a little bit. If he's crate trained or crate training, it can be good to give him a walk and some play for 2 hours or so and then have him nap in the crate for 2 hours and do this on and off with whatever time frames work.

@zoro just be yourself bro don't let him boss you around

I was able to tame a dog quite naturally when I was very alpha in my early 20s. I was a chad back then and dogs just respected me and loved me. They still do, but it's amazing how animals can sense chad energy.

@AryanRaypEat Yea, it seems that the vibe that you bring does have a huge impact in his perception. I did manage to handle him, considering buying a good leash to take him on walks

@zoro whenever I was microdosing Valium or tianeptine + modafinil dogs just respected me. Dogs are like women, they respect confidence above all. Once a woman’s dog loved me so much at the park she ended up having an affair with me for many months (Srs)
