Dogs that bark at other dogs

Ahhh yes ...and what exactly is this video supposed to tell us?

First off, the dog in the beginning is not "agressive" but just unruly and a bit worked up. Its handler does nothing to calm it (pulling hard at the lead is not calming ) and just lets it continue.

You can tell that the dog isn't aggressive, because as the cameraman walks up to it, it puts its front legs and its upper body close to the ground, which is an invitation to play and anything but agressive.

The five minutes later bit shows a dog that has been trained to sit quietly ...and its doing just that. Same in the indoor bit.

This dog has been trained well and it can sit still without fuss ...it's just that in the first bit of the vid it wasn't told to do so (and probably being handled by some stranger whose command it wouldn't accept anyway) I strongly suspect that it is the dog of the guy behind the camera, going by the way it acts as he approaches.

So ...in short ...yes you can train a dog to be as calm as that ...but not in five minutes.
