VID Dysfunction Scale – from V-3 to V-10

VID V-Levels accurately assesses how dangerous a dog is and can be BEFORE a bite happens by evaluating the dog’s psychological issues and how they correlate via science-based psychogenesis.

Whereas ‘bite level 6’ is the industry’s scale limit commonly described as a bite causing death, this is inaccurate to assess/label a dog’s bite severity based on an ‘afterthought’. Some dogs can become panicked into reacting even more so. Instead of ‘waiting for reactivity’ to occur, it is the obligation of the behaviorist or master dog trainer to effectively evaluate predicatively…the dog’s behavior in real time. The way the dog blinks, breaths, tail position, body position, head movements…most importantly is the relative quantification of time relatable to the dog’s overall personality.

Abridged ‘V-Level’ Definitions
(Unabridged Definitions Include Evaluation Of Psychological And Behavioral Traits)

It is the dog’s intent which should be addressed…which leads to reactivity which is, after the fact…the ‘bite level’…This makes a logic-based assessment occuring after the bite as rhetorical. The following is for categorizing dog bites (this brief description does not include psychogenesis markers).

Please note I have trained court-designated “Extremely Dangerous” giant dogs (180 lb, 38″ withers), alone, without treats, meds, alpha, painful/restrictive/shock collars. Using only a regular fabric collar & leash.

I unequivocally and successfully proof VID Dog Training with extremely dangerous giant dogs genuinely intent on cornering and mortally wounding me.

There is no one in North America, regardless, that has ever worked alone with predatorial giants. Every single reactive, skittish, dangerous or OCD dog, regardless of extreme danger, can be trained from wanting to kill indiscriminately.

VID Is The First To Apply Science-Based Psychogenesis

For centuries, dogs’ behavior was attributed from the ‘human status’ perspective. From trying to ‘reverse-engineer’, construct or fabricate the (re)actions (behaviors) of dogs from the top of the predator pyramid without understanding the complex emotional and logic cognition processing inherent in dogs has caused the deaths of literally tens of millions of dogs.

Treat training a dysfunctional dog is wholesale counter-intuitive to the dog’s natural behavior. Not only does it stunt the psychological and emotional maturing of the dysfunctional dog, treat training artificially creates an addictive trait preventing the dysfunctional dog from developing basic reasoning and processing of base emotions.

The reality is there exists nowhere in the entire canine species where food is provided as currency of either behavior or communication. This misunderstanding has created a chasm in CONTENT IN PROCESS…CHECK BACK SOON FOR ARTICLE LINK

VID Levels Briefly Defined

Applying uniquely real-world experience with extremely dangerous giant dogs, our evaluative dog behavior scale is without compare.

V-3 is a dog’s intent, or deliberately triggered, to negatively react. Bites are designed to strongly deter. Skittish dogs enter categorization at this level.

V-4 is a serious and successive number of quick bites causing skin peel back. This is usually a dog that will very quickly bite successively, instantly pause, evaluate their target for possible re-attack. Up to 3 separate circumstances involving people/animals. Dogs with OCD enter categorization at this level.

V-5 is causing, at a minimum, serious injury that may lead to death of an animal. Intent to significantly harm humans. Successive quick bites strong enough to consider stitches. Marker example: This is a dog that if being petted, with a threat nearby, may turn and bite his human ‘inadvertently’.

V-6 (was) Diesel. He had bitten a number of times prior to my session with him. His foster inadvertently forgot his muzzle at home. *Please note this is parallel to APDT’s ‘Bite Level 6’ (which this the max of their evaluative scale…and states the dog should then be killed). Marker example: This is a dog that if being petted, with a threat nearby, will turn and bite his human ‘as course of dysfunction’.

V-7 the dog is unable to consciously evaluate their environment. Rage. Inclusive of previous V-Levels of reactivity. Has significantly harmed one or more family members or known friends/visitors. Bites require hospital emergency medical attention. Marker example: This is a dog that is reluctant to be petted and/or without a threat nearby, will turn and bite his human ‘without warning’.

V-8 is significant negative reactivity to 6 or more people/animals. Has killed other dogs/animals.

V-9 is up to 150 lbs

V-10 over 150 lbs, severely and repeatedly abused. Unpredictable. Sustained reactive interaction. ‘No warnings’ prior to reactivity culminating in said sustained actions with intent to cause bone damage or fracturing. Negative interactions with minimum 12 or more people/animals. All attacks intended to severely disable their target. Predatorial. Genuine and sustained intent confrontations to engage to kill humans due to subconscious rooted trauma.


Notwithstanding these factors that will influence V-Level scaling of the dog, such as size and weight, history, depth of psychological trauma, frequency of reactivity, etc…

ZERO treats.
ZERO medication.
NO shock collars.
NO painful collars.
NO alpha.

Collar & leash is all anyone needs.

VID Psychological, Behavioral Traits

When scaling V-Levels of dysfunction, important factors of the dog must consider their exhibition the three dependency variables, reaction time, intent, independence, redundancy, response, cognitive process, history and background. Emotional processing versus quantum cognition (‘instinct’).

Evaluation ‘After The Bite’?

APDT bite scale as prescribed by Dr. Dunbar

‘Bite scale’ is deficient by rhetoric…applying observations/evaluations ‘after-the-fact’. We need to remove this constant and direct prescription of dooming death to dogs (that I have easily rehabilitated, usually in one session). Diesel the Great Pyrenees with limited human contact, lived in barn and protected livestock. Owner had cancer. Dr. Dunbar’s scale would have killed dogs like Diesel in the thousands. My scale verbalizes your dog’s complex psychological profile into simple human term for owners.

It makes sense for a dog reactivity scale to assess a dog BEFORE…not after. It makes sense to psychologically evaluate the behavior of our best furry friends. Not add their deaths to the 6 million dogs killed in shelters and owner-directed killings in North America annually.

We strive to end the unwarranted proselytizing that dogs should be killed for behavioral issues. I stand with proof every single dangerous dog can be trained.
