These are great, very informative. It's what every dog owner (even every person) should know. Thank you Hector for posting this info. :)

I'd like you to watch this video and watch for the signs before the dog lunges.

It's not the mastiff's fault, it's Brett's (the handler of the two rotts and if you watch a couple more of his videos you will know he's an idiot and makes the most ridiculous comments of all time).

The mastiff was fine for the most part, but the owner was not paying attention to the mastiff's body language (maybe because he had always been friendly) and then the lunge happened.

Beginning at 1:30 the mastiff starts to stare. His body becomes less relaxed and starts to tense up. At 1:34 his mouth closes and then he does a lip lick (probably stressed and getting frustrated) and also note how his body freezes. At 1:39 his mouth closes and he lunges and this whole time he was staring at his target.

What kind of effing idiot is the guy with the rottweilers??? Honestly if someone approached me 1) with dogs behaving like his, 2) with idiotic comments like his, or 3) a voice as annoying as his, I would have politely excused myself...quickly.
