[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook gave advice on the training methods of a Border Collie owner.

On the 22nd, the KBS 2TV entertainment program 'Dogs Are Incredible' featured a guardian troubled by the aggression of a Border Collie named Kobi.

In the broadcast, the guardian shared that Kobi not only bullies another Border Collie named Dambi living together but also shows behaviors such as biting the owner.

Kang Hyung-wook said, "Why raise two dogs? These behaviors are not problems but symptoms, yet they are not understood," adding, "Still, I understand the guardian's situation wanting to raise puppies."

After observing Kobi's behavior, he said, "If a dog keeps being criticized for its actions, it will stop seeking help from the guardian. Kobi seems to be in such a state."

He continued, "Dambi's behavior, reacting to Kobi's sensitivity, is a very bad sign," and added, "I feel very sorry for Dambi. Dambi thinks its guardian is Kobi."

After watching the behaviors of Kobi and Dambi, Kang Hyung-wook knelt down to the guardians.

He requested, "I hope you send Dambi to a place where it can be loved alone."

In response, the guardian said, "That doesn't seem possible."

Then Kang Hyung-wook explained, "When Dambi is about seven months old, fights between Dambi and Kobi will start. If that happens, neither dog will be happy."

He added, "I will provide training, so please come to the center. But Dambi cannot come, only Kobi," persuading the guardian, "Then I can train Kobi as much as needed."
