I'm 27 and I just want to say you're one of the few real life people to make me go "wow. now that guy is a role model. I want to be like that guy. He's pretty cool"
I'm just 3 weeks into the program, and it's really great! I never realized that teaching dogs things at certain ages is so important..... I was asking a lot of my pup that she wasn't mature enough to handle.
And youtube please get over it. I have probably watched 50 videos of this man work. I have never seen one drop of blood. He is helping dogs and people.
I love the way he tried to challenge Prince again and Prince just looked at him as if to say: "You want to mess with me again?" and then the dog froze and then literally stepped back like you said, as if to say:" Really, you mean you're going to go at me again?", and Prince was like:"Damn straight I am. Whatever it takes to make you smarten up!" Message received and the dog understood.
Would the result be the same if the dog was not muzzled? I understand the muzzle is for safety, but does it distort the result and the correction and the learnings? Could Prince give the correction if the other dog was not muzzled? Will the dog behave differently if it was not muzzled?
I LOVED that precise sequence. As they face back up, you see THE Prince has his tail STRAIGHT up, whereas Brown Dog's tail is at "Half mast", exactly like you said, communicating a "We CAN go again, bro ? ?", then immediately follows at @10:00 with a very slight lip lick, "I don't WANT to fight" and Brown dog takes a couple of seconds to THINK (key bit) then at @10:04 takes those steps back. THE Prince is a frigging AWESOME Dog !
@@NickNico719 he could bite prince, and prince would not be able to inhibit his bite anymore. Prince is a really balanced dog, but he would defend himself if needs to.
@@NickNico719 I believe Prince could give the same correction, if not a better correction. You're right in a way. I agree with you that muzzles create a different environment but I fully believe in their purpose for such engagements as this. If Prince wasn't as grounded as he is and as spot on as he is with his corrections, I'd say no. That dog is well aware it is muzzled and it will distort the result, of course it will because it will change the dogs behaviour... But this isn't about making Prince look tough. The muzzle, Prince's exact temperament and training is the best combination this dog could ask for to help him get over his pushy nature. Yes he is a strong dog and muzzle off prince would struggle with him, but there are bigger badder dogs out there that he could do that to in the future who won't be like Prince and won't be as willing to be as cordial afterwards.
I’m glad you aren’t scared to tell the owner your dog needs to be checked by a more dominant or controlled dog. Prince doesn’t want to fight either, but he will not back away to make it clear he’s not a pushover. Keep it up. 🎉
The best part is that Prince was correcting. He wasn't out to hurt the other dog. He just made sure to tell the other dog it's behavior was unacceptable. Beautiful results.
Prince does so much that people can learn from. He works hard and constantly has to deal with idiots harassing him. Then he shows the strength to stand up for himself and once it's settled, he doesn't hold a grudge. The white dog is also an angel, so kind despite being treated roughly. This example also shows the problems that arise, when dogs don't get experience and tasks.
More people need to not only see this video but hear Joel's message. Appreciate this video being put out to the public....Joel is a great leader to the dog training world.
I hate how it takes a big do with muscle for people to admit that this type of balanced no-nonsense approach is essential when correcting over-the-top behaviors. I have met some Frenchies just like boy who are not aggressive but they are "jerks" who do not have any respect for other dogs' boundaries but the owners allow it because they are small. Wish more people out there would see these videos and realize that a jerky dog, even if they are not aggressive, is not something that should be tolerated regardless of size. Thank you so much for having a great working dog like Prince and helping people in these types of situations!
Frenchies get into trouble because they don’t use their nose first. So what it comes down to is that they stare at other dogs which is a direct threat even though they probably don’t mean it that way. They definitely get away with a lot because they’re so small and cute
One of the best dog trainers on yt. People fail to understand that these are animals and sometimes need to be dealt with how they would in a real pack of wild dogs. Shoutout to Prince
I knew a guy who I jsed to work in an office with, it was a dogbfriendly office and someone had this austrailian shepherd who would constantly bark and try to herd people qho came in and out of the room. Anyway, the guy constantly felt like it was 'rude' to walk into her and would just kind of stand there while she circled and 'herded' him. Like, no man. You HAVE to walk into her. Thats how dogs communicate with each other. Its not rude to them, its just what they do.
I could watch you all day long. I'm a long-time owner of boxers, 54 years old. I've learned to read body language very well. Male boxers can be such jerks. I also own a dog transport business, so it's always good to learn new tricks. I love to learn new ways of dealing with my dogs and transport dogs. I wish I could afford to do your classes for professional dog trainer at this time. But for now, I will continue to watch and learn from you, I always send ppl to your page to watch and learn about training their own dogs. Thank you so very much.
I've got a great dane with a personality similar to this guy, it took a lot of intense socializing. It absolutely took push back from other bigger dogs for my guy to understand.
Your advice enabled me to properly handle my hard-to-train, intact and dominant male dog with love, respect and the appropriate counter-force. My dog does not fear, but respect me as a leader, because I impress him with skills, experience, great adventures, emotional stability, predictability and the ability to put up force when needed.
Your videos explain exactly what's going on, pointing out the where and what of the dog's behaviors and what the human needs to do. You're not too soft or too rough. You are focused on the needs of the dog and owner instead of grandstanding for your own ego. You are the GOAT of dog/human trainers.
My American Bulldog mix is just like this big guy, wanting to use her muscle strength to bully her way through life. I didn’t have Beckman videos in my life ten years ago so I spent time on the struggle bus figuring it out. We would have benefited greatly if I’d had help like this. Thanks so much for helping this beautiful dog and his owner on the path to success.👏🐾🐾
@@AnaamSings I did get it sorted but it probably took three or more times as long as it should have had I had a guide like Joel to reference. Several trainers I spoke with had differing opinions but none seemed to adequately address what I saw as her main issue, which was dominance. So I got to work on the basics providing structure and consistency, much like I would with dominant horses, and made good progress. She’s a wonderful dog now, and generally well mannered but the tough bulldog is always just below the surface so it keeps me on my toes. No slacking from me means good behavior from her.
Prince is truly brilliant. You have done a great job in making him a well trained disciplined dog to trust so much. Thank you for your high quality videos
My Boxer/Staff cross was just like him and now due to following Beckman's methods, he is 95% improved. He can sometimes slip back into old behaviour from his unknown previous history and most other dogs pick up the 'Bad' vibes from him and back away, but after few corrections of 'The stare' he does, he changes and I can get him and other dogs to meet. He still tries to be too forceful but about six weeks ago, he got his first correction from a female big dog, who snapped at him for his forceful behaviour and caught his nose. This was the first time he has backed away from a dog and since then he is now even better with other dogs I noticed. Great video Beckman.
Not only this specific issue but Joel has helped me remove about 95% of all the unwanted behaviors in my dogs following his whore range of methods. I direct so many ppl here when they tell me about their dog problems. They’ve all reported major improvements. Joel you are invaluable to this world!
@@jlm3619 Same here, I refer dog walkers who are struggling with their dog to this channel. Some don't even realise how bad their dogs behaviour is, until I explain it to them and recommend this channel. Joel's methods work fantastic with dogs and get the desired results.
I’ve had Dobermans since 1984. Currently I have two. Once you have one, not sure how you would own another breed. They can do everything. So good with small children, kids, family and other dogs. Extremely athletic with lots of personality. Expect to spend a lot of time with them as they are Velcro dogs. You do need to be an alpha with a Doberman because of how smart they are. Such a great breed.
Maybe you should try looking over the horizon. Dobermanns derive from Beauceron, in my opinion a much better and more impressive breed. Also dobermans have (as any other dog breed) got nothing on the greyhound in athleticism.
I recently got my first dog (a rescue), he is a broder collie and Labrit cross. He is not that big only around 50 pounds, but has not been socialised coreectly. He's still learning how to play and meet dogs at 2 years old, and he's doing good with me holding the leash. I sometimes have trouble getting the good timing to correct him, although he is not aggressive, nor a bully. He just doens't know how to act and gets nervous. Whenever he is with another dog, i try to be as attentive and relaxed as possible ! He has been hit by cars multiple times on his hind quarters, and doesn't like being touched there by other dogs, even when I touch him he gets anxious, but he is doing better. He now has a playmate in a young Irish Setter ! She is so sweet, and helps him get better at socialising! I admire you so much, because you are not afraid to use force, push back, when necessary! So many owners are scared of touching their dog when they are being aggressive, or are hesitant on correcting them, by force, forcing them to back up, or back down. When you own any dog,even a chihuahua, you have to be able to push back, and correct them if they disobey. You shouldn't hurt your dog, but a good tap, or push can go a long way !
Brown dog looks like a Ridgeback - Boerboel ( or Boxer.. ) cross of sort. More ridgeback in him. Ridgeback attitude as well - no aggression but fearless with pushy attitude. Working lines of ridgebacks in South Africa are like that. Thank you Joel for helping him.
I totally understand this. My shepard has experienced these types of lessons and is now canine respectful at the dog park. The other dog taught him. I get it.
I started watching this channel bc it had a pretty doberman🥺🥺 but I stayed bc I feel like I’m actually learning how to be the best dog owners/trainer when I’m ready to get my own dobie🫶🫶🫶 I like the no nonsense attitude Beckman trains dogs with, I wish it was more common during my teenage years so I could have gotten proper info about how to train my current dog now😭😭
I'm 21 and I honestly want to join your program. No Nonsense, no bull just pure honesty to change the world in the best way possible. It is people like you Joel that Inspire the Whole World. You should do a Collab with Cesar Milan I would watch that program instantly if you did that on your podcast.
Yeah that would be cool, for sure. It's not very likely though. I would guess that Caesar would probably have fairly strict contracts to control every aspect of any appearances he make$
Truly in awe of Prince, he's in his prime athletically and in experience and protects home field advantage in such a bold and beautiful way. Credit to you and the structure too sir (!)
Joel, who wouldn't want to help an animal. You say it takes years off of your life. But to us it restores our faith that not all people are jerks. I love you, ur teaching method, and of course prince.
I just had to deal with a horrible experience at a dog park and the owner took zero responsibilty for her dogs and even thought it was funny to bully the victims afterward. I get if you dont understand how to handle the dog you have, but then it's your responsibility to keep them under control and keep others safe if you have this type of dog. I have a really good dog that loves other dogs and I have had so many good dog park experiences, its so unfair when we have to leave while the problem people and dogs get to stay because we are worried for our safety. I have to really appreciate the owner for taking responsibilty for their dog and doing what they can to get their dog help and keep others safe. Then I have to thank you, Joel, tremendously for helping people with dogs like this.
Just curious about your account settings. I will usually click on someone's avatar and it'll show someone's channel and comment history, like how many comments you've posted on this channel and maybe your last three comments, but when I click on yours, I get a notification that something went wrong and I'm unable to see your channel. Did you set your account to some sort of private mode so no one can see your channel and comment history? I'm just trying to figure out if this is a setting or if the AL Gore Rhythms have a hand in that
People may not be ‘required’ to believe a thing you say…But they should, for their dog’s sake. This was a great session and a very well edited for the tube video. 🐾 👏🏼 ✨
My dog meeting other dogs,cats and chickens need meetings like that is so important, i bet there are so many people out there who want to keep thier dogs away from the world, dogs know dogs and its a good way to make friends while walking. That dog did need to check himself before he wrickitty wrecked himself. Much love❤
Brilliant video - I used Joel's methods for stopping my two male dogs fighting. It was not easy, but we now have two large male dogs, living in harmony, after what I can only describe as a nightmare situation. Thank you Joel!
This dog has the exact same personality as my Rottie. It's not aggression, just very in-other-dogs faces that, obviously so given his size, makes other dogs uncomfortable. It does make me sad for him because that results in him not having many pup friends. On the bright side, this video gave so much insight into understanding & managing him better!
I have 2 bull terriers who both need slow introductions and some push back from other dogs to calm them and keep them in check. They are both strong, determined and a bit "too much". I so related to how the brown dog kept trying to push through Joel's leg. That's a dog(like mine)who's a force but needs a counterbalance to get them to stop and think differently. This kind of video reminds me that not everyone can be a trainer. You've gotta have wisdom about what's behind the behavior and more stubbornness than the dog. Great teaching moments!!
This was an incredible video. Even though that "fight" took place in a controlled environment and no dogs or humans were in danger, it doesn't make it any easier to watch. When Joel said sessions like this one takes years off his life, it reminded me how important it is to find a true, professional dog trainer. Joel is one of the select few that's built for these moments. This session is not for the faint of heart and without someone like Joel there this could have gotten really bad. Amazing video and thanks again for showing the world what being the top 1 percent of dog trainers looks like.
Havent watched one of your videos in a while, and you are still an amazing teacher. Its a damn shame that internet trolls have got you constantly validating your actions. Obviously, I could be wrong on that opinion, but I dont recall your earlier videos asking the owner if they wanted you to continue, and the verbalization that no dogs were injured by your actions. You are clearly HELPING these dogs, and anyone with 2 brain cells can clearly see that. Stay Strong, keep doing what you do, people respect and appreciate you and your talents.
As hard as this was to watch and can only imagine how hard it was for his owner to watch this was very impressive and the result only confirms Joel’s professionalism and knowledge to helping these types of dogs and owners .. respect for the owner for getting this dog the help he needed
Man that was intense! What heroes you both are; to pass through such a crazy exchange of energy, wish you health and calmness, take care of you and that gorgeous Price! Happy to know that bully learned his lesson, needed a type of Price to put him back in place.
Had this dog ever been to dog parks Or day care? He has such a forceful approach to interaction, he surely has the boldness and energy level to show his confidence. His personality shows that he isn’t deterred by dog authority, only human. He needs to respect both to become balanced. Well done, Joel & Prince 👏 I would love my female Shiba Inu to meet this dog and show him hierarchy.
That's a good dog owner right there. Wants the best for his dog (long term) in spite of it being a hard lesson for his dog. Good lookin' dog there too. Prince did a very good job of standing his ground too.
It's easy sometimes to forget how much progress you made. I see this dog and he reminds me so much of Diesel when I got him 3 years ago. "He's not aggressive, but he can be aggressive." And overpowering and dominant and just way too much. Though this dog is much more jerky than him. The leash was such a big factor in that, _as well as pent up energy,_ so I went to the woods where he could be off leash as much as possible. I used your method of mark and go get when he ran up to dogs inappropriately, and within weeks he knew how to behave properly. But only off leash. On leash took until I finally had someone to train with a few months ago. Which was hard to find because people saw my totally overpowering and way too energetic dog try to run up to their dog and of course they would walk away. But when I finally got three sessions in, he got 95% better. If you have a dog like this, find someone with a helper dog as soon as possible. You'll only be able to train it by practicing. And thank you Joel for your methods, they were game changing.
I absolutely am loving your videos and I'm going to help one of my friends with his bulldog and I have to tell you I did this with a boxer it worked out so good I just call it rude doggies that don't get a lot of interaction they're just rude I love the word rude because it doesn't make you angry it lets you know it's not personal you are just rude so if you want to use that feel free. I love your show
Great video, on how a correction by another dog, in a controlled situation can teach a dog to hold himself back. 10:22... Nice to see Prince open his mouth, prior to walking away..
I learned so much from you to handle my pushy Labrador male! Now we are a team, I understand his actions much better and he respects my decisions. Still sometimes I have to boss him around, because he likes to test the waters. We have a good positive relationship

@@rptrick79 Thank you @rptrick79 for the great and hilarious timelines! I think you (and your sister) should be a Podcast. Maybe for his first Podcast when he comes up for air?
@@User7688.--_ just seeing this...there's no need to have either one of us on. My sister isn't exactly a dog person, more cat person. She does have some great examples living next to her of NOT what to do when your dog acts a fool. Happens.when I stop.by with my dog. Anyways, I kind of fell into that first deal lol. Wasn't great on my half IMO. It'd be cool but it's not gonna be a "must watch" lol.
It would be fun to have you and perhaps your sister as additional guests for the first 20-30 minutes of one of their podcasts. I can see that you are as direct and confident as Joel. You can be funny, and your sister was hilarious talking about you. Just a thought!
Ah Ha!! I have finally found something which is close to the way my German Shepherd is, not aggressive, but totally socially inappropriate and too intense....This video is packed full of things that confirm which direction I need to take, and some of which I am already doing, luckily I know someone with a German Shepherd that wont stand for my guys nonsense, hes already had corrections from this dog, and he's improved a lot, but I might need to fine tune what I am doing and get him with more dogs that can deal with his intensity and will correct him.... Thank you for these videos, they are so valuable...
I respect what you do here and I understand it. I have never seen a real dog fight on here. I have owned a pitbull and a rotti and they struggled for dominance and they would fight almost to the death. It was such a crazy time in my life. The rotti passed away and the pit is a solo dog now. The older rotti tried many times to show the younger pit he was in charge and it never worked. I know the blame is on me but a dog correcting a dog never worked for us. The fights were insane.
It's because of you and your energy . Your ability to sense and read the dog. He is clearly seeking guidance and that's something he has got only from you. The owner is not well aware of the needs of the dog. It's because how you have trained prince the beautiful doberman and rest others who have been apart of the video.
Perfect demonstration - absolutely unbelievable professionalism - great work. Prince was just awesome in training this dog. BTW - In my experience, this type of aggression is nearly always fear driven and could be due to a bad experience with another dog attacking him when he was a small puppy,
Love dogs and have helped on occasion when walking my dog and another dog comes along with their owner and has an issue with meeting my dog . I need to make a decision on what my next life oath should be and maybe learning more about canine behavior and building a sanctuary for owners and their dogs along with a rescue shelter is my next move . Really can see your approach is to just observe the dogs and let them slowly unlearn bad behavior by seeing what they are saying and doing with each other . You have a great sense about dogs and I think they pick that up . Will watch more of your videos and learn more , thanks .
My dog is only 9 months old and is a full on at the other dog to play but he is way too much for some dogs. He goes to daycare once a week coz of work and they think he’s amazing, so do I ,but he’s not on lead amd knows the other dogs. We are still very much in training. He ways 22kg and I am 51kg so he is strong. This video was a great help because I am using voice and strength.
Cheers? What? That's insane, who in their right mind tints a dog in pink? Nowadays most form of cruelty comes from well-meaning people who "loves" their dog. Or so they think, all they love is their ego. I wouldn't allow this to be in this kind of video, that kind of attitude and actions is what create most of the issues modern dogs have.
@@zuzuspetals8323 Right, apologies. That made me so mad that I didn't realized about the irony. I hope someday Joel address "jerk people and how they screw their dogs" topic. There is no such a thing as a jerk dog, that's not natural, we make them like that.
@@unokepasaba not everyone is like you or me. If someone wants to tint their dog pink why would that trigger you? You might want to loosen up a bit. It’s not your dog. It’s not your business.
life long dog owner, mostly large breeds, Rotties are my fav and i have had 4 or more all along. Not for everyone, however for me it's the sweet spot for dogs. good video.
I just got a puppy and rewatching all your training videos are so helpful! Thank you!!! You said it took you 20 minutes to know he was just being a jerk vs under socialized or fear based. Could you explain that? My friends dog acts this way. Pit bull. I finally got him to walk using all your stuff. It was amazing. When I correct him during his crazy barking at other dogs, sometimes he turns his crazy bark to me for one or two barks and for a second...my heart stops hoping he doesn't come at me. He never has tho. Hes 7 years old. Huge jerk meeting other dogs. Thank you!
I respect you as a person and a professional, I also agree with and love your tailored approach to each individual dog. The knowledge behind the behaviour coupled with the fantastic training of, and generally, how well grounded, and confident Prince is, is the perfect combination to help dogs( like this one ) become better dogs. I feel like your methods get down to the nitty gritty of things, and although you don't anthropomorphise dogs and their behaviour... You understand that behaviour and requisite corrections require the same approach regardless of species. Aggression understands aggression, strength understands strength and so on. Such as your explanation concerning the Malamute. I don't agree with this new age treat nonsense..... when it comes to full on physical, sometimes you have to meet fire with fire before there is an understanding. I will say there was some behaviour that I noticed there after the initial reaction with Prince, firstly I think the muzzle( as much as I understand its purpose ) is playing a part in the de-escalation from the brown dogs part, I think it is fully aware of the limitations it has, as per the muzzle and is therefore not as willing to enter into something physical with Prince, I say that simply due to the behaviour we see afterwards, the rolling on the ground, he appears to be "playing" but I think on closer inspection he's actually trying to get the muzzle off. Having said that I'm all for it. Since Prince's temperament and nature is placid but firm and respectful he is the perfect dog to apply the right correction for the other dog not to be harmed and in turn the muzzle creates the environment where the other dog's nervous energy doesn't allow the confrontation to escalate beyond a correction. I feel like for this dog to fully respect another's space he will need more corrections going forward. It's a learning curve, but none the less, eventually it will have the desired effect.
wow, my english is to bad, but i said it so often: if i see you and prince, i know it is good for the other dog. good job prince, good job joel, good job brown dog!
Hi from Sydney AUSTRALIA - I was employed by a 72 yr old lady with a boxer cross (male) with this exact approach, The dog was sold on Craig's list and was perfect until other dogs came in the area . He was more dominant with my trainer dog of equal size and started the usual bully boy blocking tactics ( no Muzzle) All corrections were clear and NUKE like - very athletic dog. - so nothing but physical corrections to match more than his strength CLEAR /CONSISTENT / CONTINUING / COUNTER CONDITIONING . NO TREATS IN THIS YARD The intense visual imbalance creates a run up like behaviour , which most dogs obviously don't like in there face - As J.B says - it takes yrs off your short life- Alfie was off leash in a beach dog park after the session - but with one minor incident as the other dog looked like a rabbit.
I'm 27 and I just want to say you're one of the few real life people to make me go "wow. now that guy is a role model. I want to be like that guy. He's pretty cool"
Same age same feeling
Yeah, Prince is awesome!😂
I'm just 3 weeks into the program, and it's really great! I never realized that teaching dogs things at certain ages is so important..... I was asking a lot of my pup that she wasn't mature enough to handle.
Big facts. Joel is an all round top bloke besides the dog training 💯
I'm twice your age and feel the same way about Mr. Beckman. Role models who have both strength AND kindness are the only people worth following, IMHO.
And youtube please get over it. I have probably watched 50 videos of this man work. I have never seen one drop of blood. He is helping dogs and people.
AMEN!! TH-cam, get over yourselves!
I love the way he tried to challenge Prince again and Prince just looked at him as if to say: "You want to mess with me again?" and then the dog froze and then literally stepped back like you said, as if to say:" Really, you mean you're going to go at me again?", and Prince was like:"Damn straight I am. Whatever it takes to make you smarten up!" Message received and the dog understood.
Would the result be the same if the dog was not muzzled? I understand the muzzle is for safety, but does it distort the result and the correction and the learnings? Could Prince give the correction if the other dog was not muzzled? Will the dog behave differently if it was not muzzled?
I LOVED that precise sequence. As they face back up, you see THE Prince has his tail STRAIGHT up, whereas Brown Dog's tail is at "Half mast", exactly like you said, communicating a "We CAN go again, bro ? ?", then immediately follows at @10:00 with a very slight lip lick, "I don't WANT to fight" and Brown dog takes a couple of seconds to THINK (key bit) then at @10:04 takes those steps back.
THE Prince is a frigging AWESOME Dog !
@@NickNico719 he could bite prince, and prince would not be able to inhibit his bite anymore. Prince is a really balanced dog, but he would defend himself if needs to.
Yeah that is what happens when you put your dog against a muzzled dog. Wannabe trash trainer.
@@NickNico719 I believe Prince could give the same correction, if not a better correction. You're right in a way. I agree with you that muzzles create a different environment but I fully believe in their purpose for such engagements as this. If Prince wasn't as grounded as he is and as spot on as he is with his corrections, I'd say no. That dog is well aware it is muzzled and it will distort the result, of course it will because it will change the dogs behaviour... But this isn't about making Prince look tough. The muzzle, Prince's exact temperament and training is the best combination this dog could ask for to help him get over his pushy nature. Yes he is a strong dog and muzzle off prince would struggle with him, but there are bigger badder dogs out there that he could do that to in the future who won't be like Prince and won't be as willing to be as cordial afterwards.
I’m glad you aren’t scared to tell the owner your dog needs to be checked by a more dominant or controlled dog. Prince doesn’t want to fight either, but he will not back away to make it clear he’s not a pushover.
Keep it up. 🎉
The best part is that Prince was correcting. He wasn't out to hurt the other dog. He just made sure to tell the other dog it's behavior was unacceptable. Beautiful results.
Prince does so much that people can learn from. He works hard and constantly has to deal with idiots harassing him. Then he shows the strength to stand up for himself and once it's settled, he doesn't hold a grudge. The white dog is also an angel, so kind despite being treated roughly.
This example also shows the problems that arise, when dogs don't get experience and tasks.
Prince is the GOAT
Nah hes definitely a dog😂😂

Frenchies get into trouble because they don’t use their nose first. So what it comes down to is that they stare at other dogs which is a direct threat even though they probably don’t mean it that way. They definitely get away with a lot because they’re so small and cute
One of the best dog trainers on yt. People fail to understand that these are animals and sometimes need to be dealt with how they would in a real pack of wild dogs. Shoutout to Prince

I knew a guy who I jsed to work in an office with, it was a dogbfriendly office and someone had this austrailian shepherd who would constantly bark and try to herd people qho came in and out of the room. Anyway, the guy constantly felt like it was 'rude' to walk into her and would just kind of stand there while she circled and 'herded' him. Like, no man. You HAVE to walk into her. Thats how dogs communicate with each other. Its not rude to them, its just what they do.
He has gone from having one friend to having several because he learned to curb his rudeness. Great lesson!
I could watch you all day long. I'm a long-time owner of boxers, 54 years old. I've learned to read body language very well. Male boxers can be such jerks. I also own a dog transport business, so it's always good to learn new tricks. I love to learn new ways of dealing with my dogs and transport dogs. I wish I could afford to do your classes for professional dog trainer at this time. But for now, I will continue to watch and learn from you, I always send ppl to your page to watch and learn about training their own dogs. Thank you so very much.
I've got a great dane with a personality similar to this guy, it took a lot of intense socializing. It absolutely took push back from other bigger dogs for my guy to understand.
Your advice enabled me to properly handle my hard-to-train, intact and dominant male dog with love, respect and the appropriate counter-force. My dog does not fear, but respect me as a leader, because I impress him with skills, experience, great adventures, emotional stability, predictability and the ability to put up force when needed.
I think this dog's energy is what Charlie Murphy was referring to when he coined the term "habitual line-stepper". 😂
That’s were I got that line, lol
Prince is Darkness
@@AnotherRandomFellowYes, in a good way for training other dogs.
🤣🤣🤣
You know where you got that shirt and it was not in the men's department😅
Your videos explain exactly what's going on, pointing out the where and what of the dog's behaviors and what the human needs to do. You're not too soft or too rough. You are focused on the needs of the dog and owner instead of grandstanding for your own ego. You are the GOAT of dog/human trainers.
My American Bulldog mix is just like this big guy, wanting to use her muscle strength to bully her way through life. I didn’t have Beckman videos in my life ten years ago so I spent time on the struggle bus figuring it out. We would have benefited greatly if I’d had help like this. Thanks so much for helping this beautiful dog and his owner on the path to success.👏🐾🐾
The struggle bus!!!😂😂😂
how did you resolve it if you ever did?
@@AnaamSings I did get it sorted but it probably took three or more times as long as it should have had I had a guide like Joel to reference. Several trainers I spoke with had differing opinions but none seemed to adequately address what I saw as her main issue, which was dominance. So I got to work on the basics providing structure and consistency, much like I would with dominant horses, and made good progress. She’s a wonderful dog now, and generally well mannered but the tough bulldog is always just below the surface so it keeps me on my toes. No slacking from me means good behavior from her.
@@topcatwarrior ty for the reply - appreciate it!
Prince is truly brilliant. You have done a great job in making him a well trained disciplined dog to trust so much. Thank you for your high quality videos
My Boxer/Staff cross was just like him and now due to following Beckman's methods, he is 95% improved. He can sometimes slip back into old behaviour from his unknown previous history and most other dogs pick up the 'Bad' vibes from him and back away, but after few corrections of 'The stare' he does, he changes and I can get him and other dogs to meet.
He still tries to be too forceful but about six weeks ago, he got his first correction from a female big dog, who snapped at him for his forceful behaviour and caught his nose. This was the first time he has backed away from a dog and since then he is now even better with other dogs I noticed. Great video Beckman.
Not only this specific issue but Joel has helped me remove about 95% of all the unwanted behaviors in my dogs following his whore range of methods. I direct so many ppl here when they tell me about their dog problems. They’ve all reported major improvements. Joel you are invaluable to this world!
@@jlm3619 Same here, I refer dog walkers who are struggling with their dog to this channel. Some don't even realise how bad their dogs behaviour is, until I explain it to them and recommend this channel. Joel's methods work fantastic with dogs and get the desired results.
Kudos to Joel for helping this dog and owner! And to the owner, as well, for wanting to continue for the benefit of his dog!!
“Okay. Bring out Prince.” 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve had Dobermans since 1984. Currently I have two. Once you have one, not sure how you would own another breed. They can do everything. So good with small children, kids, family and other dogs. Extremely athletic with lots of personality. Expect to spend a lot of time with them as they are Velcro dogs. You do need to be an alpha with a Doberman because of how smart they are. Such a great breed.
Maybe you should try looking over the horizon. Dobermanns derive from Beauceron, in my opinion a much better and more impressive breed. Also dobermans have (as any other dog breed) got nothing on the greyhound in athleticism.
I recently got my first dog (a rescue), he is a broder collie and Labrit cross. He is not that big only around 50 pounds, but has not been socialised coreectly. He's still learning how to play and meet dogs at 2 years old, and he's doing good with me holding the leash. I sometimes have trouble getting the good timing to correct him, although he is not aggressive, nor a bully. He just doens't know how to act and gets nervous. Whenever he is with another dog, i try to be as attentive and relaxed as possible !
He has been hit by cars multiple times on his hind quarters, and doesn't like being touched there by other dogs, even when I touch him he gets anxious, but he is doing better. He now has a playmate in a young Irish Setter ! She is so sweet, and helps him get better at socialising!
I admire you so much, because you are not afraid to use force, push back, when necessary! So many owners are scared of touching their dog when they are being aggressive, or are hesitant on correcting them, by force, forcing them to back up, or back down. When you own any dog,even a chihuahua, you have to be able to push back, and correct them if they disobey. You shouldn't hurt your dog, but a good tap, or push can go a long way !
Brown dog looks like a Ridgeback - Boerboel ( or Boxer.. ) cross of sort. More ridgeback in him. Ridgeback attitude as well - no aggression but fearless with pushy attitude. Working lines of ridgebacks in South Africa are like that.
Thank you Joel for helping him.
Definitely not a boerboel, unless its heavily crossed with another breed.
I totally understand this. My shepard has experienced these types of lessons and is now canine respectful at the dog park. The other dog taught him. I get it.
Prince is amazing. His confidence is unreal! So awesome.
I started watching this channel bc it had a pretty doberman🥺🥺 but I stayed bc I feel like I’m actually learning how to be the best dog owners/trainer when I’m ready to get my own dobie🫶🫶🫶 I like the no nonsense attitude Beckman trains dogs with, I wish it was more common during my teenage years so I could have gotten proper info about how to train my current dog now😭😭
That owner is an absolute unit wow
Thanks brotha 😂
@@Joe.ingrassia How was the session, Joe? Please tell us a little more about the progression of your dog after this
@@Joe.ingrassiahas he been better since this training?
I'm 21 and I honestly want to join your program. No Nonsense, no bull just pure honesty to change the world in the best way possible. It is people like you Joel that Inspire the Whole World. You should do a Collab with Cesar Milan I would watch that program instantly if you did that on your podcast.
Yeah that would be cool, for sure. It's not very likely though. I would guess that Caesar would probably have fairly strict contracts to control every aspect of any appearances he make$
@underduress5761 Potentially, but at a bare minimum, he should at least reach out.
@@bullrusher77 I think both Joel and Eric have reached out
@underduress5761 OK, well then it is what it is. I did not have that information.
Truly in awe of Prince, he's in his prime athletically and in experience and protects home field advantage in such a bold and beautiful way. Credit to you and the structure too sir (!)
Joel, who wouldn't want to help an animal. You say it takes years off of your life. But to us it restores our faith that not all people are jerks. I love you, ur teaching method, and of course prince.
“Look in my eyes” lol I would have melted and said yes to anything. What a comforting dad thing to do lol😂
Underrated comment right here lol
I just had to deal with a horrible experience at a dog park and the owner took zero responsibilty for her dogs and even thought it was funny to bully the victims afterward.
I get if you dont understand how to handle the dog you have, but then it's your responsibility to keep them under control and keep others safe if you have this type of dog.
I have a really good dog that loves other dogs and I have had so many good dog park experiences, its so unfair when we have to leave while the problem people and dogs get to stay because we are worried for our safety.
I have to really appreciate the owner for taking responsibilty for their dog and doing what they can to get their dog help and keep others safe. Then I have to thank you, Joel, tremendously for helping people with dogs like this.
Just curious about your account settings. I will usually click on someone's avatar and it'll show someone's channel and comment history, like how many comments you've posted on this channel and maybe your last three comments, but when I click on yours, I get a notification that something went wrong and I'm unable to see your channel. Did you set your account to some sort of private mode so no one can see your channel and comment history?
I'm just trying to figure out if this is a setting or if the AL Gore Rhythms have a hand in that

i love prince! his stare before the other dog backs up is legend. almost bosco. wish could see the entire vid of this session.
People may not be ‘required’ to believe a thing you say…But they should, for their dog’s sake. This was a great session and a very well edited for the tube video. 🐾 👏🏼 ✨
Wow........that is my Ridgebull to a T!!!! Thanks for uploading and explaining, and most of all, that I'm not losing my mind.
This got me more tense than Modern Thrillers.
You’re so good!! How you trained your dogs to cope with this is amazing
My dog meeting other dogs,cats and chickens need meetings like that is so important, i bet there are so many people out there who want to keep thier dogs away from the world, dogs know dogs and its a good way to make friends while walking. That dog did need to check himself before he wrickitty wrecked himself. Much love❤
Brilliant video - I used Joel's methods for stopping my two male dogs fighting. It was not easy, but we now have two large male dogs, living in harmony, after what I can only describe as a nightmare situation. Thank you Joel!
This dog has the exact same personality as my Rottie. It's not aggression, just very in-other-dogs faces that, obviously so given his size, makes other dogs uncomfortable. It does make me sad for him because that results in him not having many pup friends. On the bright side, this video gave so much insight into understanding & managing him better!
I have 2 bull terriers who both need slow introductions and some push back from other dogs to calm them and keep them in check. They are both strong, determined and a bit "too much". I so related to how the brown dog kept trying to push through Joel's leg. That's a dog(like mine)who's a force but needs a counterbalance to get them to stop and think differently.
This kind of video reminds me that not everyone can be a trainer. You've gotta have wisdom about what's behind the behavior and more stubbornness than the dog. Great teaching moments!!
This is just one of the reasons you are one of the best. Mr. WONDERDOG.
“This session will take years off my life” I spit out my ice tea 😂 best plug ever.
This was an incredible video. Even though that "fight" took place in a controlled environment and no dogs or humans were in danger, it doesn't make it any easier to watch. When Joel said sessions like this one takes years off his life, it reminded me how important it is to find a true, professional dog trainer. Joel is one of the select few that's built for these moments. This session is not for the faint of heart and without someone like Joel there this could have gotten really bad. Amazing video and thanks again for showing the world what being the top 1 percent of dog trainers looks like.
Havent watched one of your videos in a while, and you are still an amazing teacher.
Its a damn shame that internet trolls have got you constantly validating your actions. Obviously, I could be wrong on that opinion, but I dont recall your earlier videos asking the owner if they wanted you to continue, and the verbalization that no dogs were injured by your actions.
You are clearly HELPING these dogs, and anyone with 2 brain cells can clearly see that. Stay Strong, keep doing what you do, people respect and appreciate you and your talents.
Very cool stuff. Thank you for not gaslighting us the way our culture is doing. Tough love directed wisely saves lives. Dogs, humans, etc.
As hard as this was to watch and can only imagine how hard it was for his owner to watch this was very impressive and the result only confirms Joel’s professionalism and knowledge to helping these types of dogs and owners .. respect for the owner for getting this dog the help he needed
Man that was intense! What heroes you both are; to pass through such a crazy exchange of energy, wish you health and calmness, take care of you and that gorgeous Price! Happy to know that bully learned his lesson, needed a type of Price to put him back in place.
Great work to everyone, try not too be too worried about the folks that aren't willing to see the good in this...Again great work 👍
Had this dog ever been to dog parks
Or day care? He has such a forceful approach to interaction, he surely has the boldness and energy level to show his confidence. His personality shows that he isn’t deterred by dog authority, only human. He needs to respect both to become balanced. Well done, Joel & Prince 👏 I would love my female Shiba Inu to meet this dog and show him hierarchy.
He’s absolutely not a bad dog. He just needs to learn. He went on his back which shows he meant no harm.
With dogs it seems so simple, with humans it is just so complicated, I like the emphasis on no "pain" just correction and personal space.
That's a good dog owner right there. Wants the best for his dog (long term) in spite of it being a hard lesson for his dog. Good lookin' dog there too. Prince did a very good job of standing his ground too.
I really love Prince! What a precious, smart dog.
It's easy sometimes to forget how much progress you made. I see this dog and he reminds me so much of Diesel when I got him 3 years ago. "He's not aggressive, but he can be aggressive." And overpowering and dominant and just way too much. Though this dog is much more jerky than him. The leash was such a big factor in that, _as well as pent up energy,_ so I went to the woods where he could be off leash as much as possible. I used your method of mark and go get when he ran up to dogs inappropriately, and within weeks he knew how to behave properly. But only off leash.
On leash took until I finally had someone to train with a few months ago. Which was hard to find because people saw my totally overpowering and way too energetic dog try to run up to their dog and of course they would walk away. But when I finally got three sessions in, he got 95% better.
If you have a dog like this, find someone with a helper dog as soon as possible. You'll only be able to train it by practicing. And thank you Joel for your methods, they were game changing.
I absolutely am loving your videos and I'm going to help one of my friends with his bulldog and I have to tell you I did this with a boxer it worked out so good I just call it rude doggies that don't get a lot of interaction they're just rude I love the word rude because it doesn't make you angry it lets you know it's not personal you are just rude so if you want to use that feel free. I love your show
I love that you talk about the nature of the dogs. You recognize how dogs bahave and how to modify the behavior. Perfect.
That part where he met prince, and then you explained the importance of the step back was awesome!
Yeah, it was
I've seen this with my own dogs. Dog communication is very clear
Great video, on how a correction by another dog, in a controlled situation can teach a dog to hold himself back.
10:22... Nice to see Prince open his mouth, prior to walking away..
I rewatched Prince standing his ground so many times!!! Whew!! That gave me chills! I sat down calmly and started eating my treat (chips 🥴) too!! 😂🤣
That back up told me everything! 🤙🏾
Glad to see you back! I've been searcing for your videos, but couldn't find you.
Wow. Excellent work, Prince! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@rptrick79 Thank you @rptrick79 for the great and hilarious timelines! I think you (and your sister) should be a Podcast. Maybe for his first Podcast when he comes up for air?
@@User7688.--_ just seeing this...there's no need to have either one of us on. My sister isn't exactly a dog person, more cat person. She does have some great examples living next to her of NOT what to do when your dog acts a fool. Happens.when I stop.by with my dog. Anyways, I kind of fell into that first deal lol. Wasn't great on my half IMO. It'd be cool but it's not gonna be a "must watch" lol.
It would be fun to have you and perhaps your sister as additional guests for the first 20-30 minutes of one of their podcasts. I can see that you are as direct and confident as Joel. You can be funny, and your sister was hilarious talking about you. Just a thought!
Ah Ha!! I have finally found something which is close to the way my German Shepherd is, not aggressive, but totally socially inappropriate and too intense....This video is packed full of things that confirm which direction I need to take, and some of which I am already doing, luckily I know someone with a German Shepherd that wont stand for my guys nonsense, hes already had corrections from this dog, and he's improved a lot, but I might need to fine tune what I am doing and get him with more dogs that can deal with his intensity and will correct him....
Thank you for these videos, they are so valuable...
Great video. I take care of the big dogs' daycare at the local clinic. Dog learned a valuable life lesson.
I respect what you do here and I understand it. I have never seen a real dog fight on here. I have owned a pitbull and a rotti and they struggled for dominance and they would fight almost to the death. It was such a crazy time in my life. The rotti passed away and the pit is a solo dog now. The older rotti tried many times to show the younger pit he was in charge and it never worked. I know the blame is on me but a dog correcting a dog never worked for us. The fights were insane.
It's because of you and your energy . Your ability to sense and read the dog. He is clearly seeking guidance and that's something he has got only from you. The owner is not well aware of the needs of the dog. It's because how you have trained prince the beautiful doberman and rest others who have been apart of the video.
Your training is great and you are very talented in understanding how dog's act. God bless you and 🙏🏻 ❤️ thank you 🙏🏻 😊 ❤️ 💖
one simple word: impressive!
Perfect demonstration - absolutely unbelievable professionalism - great work. Prince was just awesome in training this dog. BTW - In my experience, this type of aggression is nearly always fear driven and could be due to a bad experience with another dog attacking him when he was a small puppy,
Love dogs and have helped on occasion when walking my dog and another dog comes along with their owner and has an issue with meeting my dog . I need to make a decision on what my next life oath should be and maybe learning more about canine behavior and building a sanctuary for owners and their dogs along with a rescue shelter is my next move . Really can see your approach is to just observe the dogs and let them slowly unlearn bad behavior by seeing what they are saying and doing with each other . You have a great sense about dogs and I think they pick that up . Will watch more of your videos and learn more , thanks .
Enjoy the videos, Joel and Prince are great!
My dog is only 9 months old and is a full on at the other dog to play but he is way too much for some dogs. He goes to daycare once a week coz of work and they think he’s amazing, so do I ,but he’s not on lead amd knows the other dogs. We are still very much in training. He ways 22kg and I am 51kg so he is strong. This video was a great help because I am using voice and strength.
He’s a steamroller! Good job, Princey! Great work and commentary, Joel. p.s. Three cheers for the fancy bichon frise in pink! 😳
I saw that too 😂
Cheers? What? That's insane, who in their right mind tints a dog in pink? Nowadays most form of cruelty comes from well-meaning people who "loves" their dog. Or so they think, all they love is their ego. I wouldn't allow this to be in this kind of video, that kind of attitude and actions is what create most of the issues modern dogs have.
@@unokepasaba Please forgive my ironic word choice. I was surprised too. This sums it up for me: 😳.
@@zuzuspetals8323 Right, apologies. That made me so mad that I didn't realized about the irony.
I hope someday Joel address "jerk people and how they screw their dogs" topic. There is no such a thing as a jerk dog, that's not natural, we make them like that.
@@unokepasaba not everyone is like you or me.
If someone wants to tint their dog pink why would that trigger you?
You might want to loosen up a bit.

Positive reinforcement only trainers are grifters. Great vid.

You're videos are very helpful I have two at home that are young and I really want to teach them the right things.
One of the best sessions, for sure.❤
Great video 🥰I have a rottie female and you helped me a lot. Prince is so good😍
Brilliant video, proof of everything you're saying, sick of the force free cult
life long dog owner, mostly large breeds, Rotties are my fav and i have had 4 or more all along. Not for everyone, however for me it's the sweet spot for dogs. good video.
The breed of dog deal with is a boxer but good job Joel and ty for helping out the dogs in the community with there behavior ❤😊
I just got a puppy and rewatching all your training videos are so helpful! Thank you!!!
You said it took you 20 minutes to know he was just being a jerk vs under socialized or fear based. Could you explain that? My friends dog acts this way. Pit bull. I finally got him to walk using all your stuff. It was amazing. When I correct him during his crazy barking at other dogs, sometimes he turns his crazy bark to me for one or two barks and for a second...my heart stops hoping he doesn't come at me. He never has tho. Hes 7 years old. Huge jerk meeting other dogs. Thank you!
A master of his art wondering how much ur classes are my dream is to help all doggos and I enjoy the challenge
9:29 that bark scared me through my screen lmao prince is no joke 😂😂
I fucking love you and what you do, you’re genuinely so inspiring
I respect you as a person and a professional, I also agree with and love your tailored approach to each individual dog. The knowledge behind the behaviour coupled with the fantastic training of, and generally, how well grounded, and confident Prince is, is the perfect combination to help dogs( like this one ) become better dogs. I feel like your methods get down to the nitty gritty of things, and although you don't anthropomorphise dogs and their behaviour... You understand that behaviour and requisite corrections require the same approach regardless of species. Aggression understands aggression, strength understands strength and so on. Such as your explanation concerning the Malamute.
I don't agree with this new age treat nonsense..... when it comes to full on physical, sometimes you have to meet fire with fire before there is an understanding. I will say there was some behaviour that I noticed there after the initial reaction with Prince, firstly I think the muzzle( as much as I understand its purpose ) is playing a part in the de-escalation from the brown dogs part, I think it is fully aware of the limitations it has, as per the muzzle and is therefore not as willing to enter into something physical with Prince, I say that simply due to the behaviour we see afterwards, the rolling on the ground, he appears to be "playing" but I think on closer inspection he's actually trying to get the muzzle off.
Having said that I'm all for it. Since Prince's temperament and nature is placid but firm and respectful he is the perfect dog to apply the right correction for the other dog not to be harmed and in turn the muzzle creates the environment where the other dog's nervous energy doesn't allow the confrontation to escalate beyond a correction. I feel like for this dog to fully respect another's space he will need more corrections going forward. It's a learning curve, but none the less, eventually it will have the desired effect.
Great video! I have a 47lb pittie mix who is similar to the brown dog. Has ao much excitement and energy that it can lead to fights.
wow, my english is to bad, but i said it so often: if i see you and prince, i know it is good for the other dog. good job prince, good job joel, good job brown dog!
Hi from Sydney AUSTRALIA - I was employed by a 72 yr old lady with a boxer cross (male) with this exact approach, The dog was sold on Craig's list and was perfect until other dogs came in the area . He was more dominant with my trainer dog of equal size and started the usual bully boy blocking tactics ( no Muzzle) All corrections were clear and NUKE like - very athletic dog. - so nothing but physical corrections to match more than his strength CLEAR /CONSISTENT / CONTINUING / COUNTER CONDITIONING . NO TREATS IN THIS YARD The intense visual imbalance creates a run up like behaviour , which most dogs obviously don't like in there face - As J.B says - it takes yrs off your short life- Alfie was off leash in a beach dog park after the session - but with one minor incident as the other dog looked like a rabbit.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing!
