Great stuff! When my pup isn't responding I have learned from Beckman to say out loud "WE WILL DO THIS ALL DAY LONG." Sometimes I 'backtrack' over the same portion of sidewalk four and five times and I never make it around the block- and that's okay. By the time we are done he is 'loose leash' and attentive to me.
Lol, I’ve learned to say the same thing to my Rottie and it really does work! I quickly got over what people think bc the results are worth it! Beckman’s methods increased my confidence as a dog owner!
@@dianna9283 I would love for this to work on my dog... very aggressive towards new people and dogs. Barks at everything. and pulls. But she's only 8 months and 40 lbs. Don't know where this came from.
@@hostwithchloe According to Beckman, your dog is entering “adolescence” stage of craziness. Just be patient and stick to the program of Beckman’s teachings. A big game changer for me with my Rottie was using a gentle leader. They are less then $20. I followed the directions that came with the leader how to introduce your dog to it. Once she was used to it, I started walking her with it. What I did since my dog is big, I also hooked her leash to both the gentle leader ring and her collar ring (I learned that watching a Cesar Milan video) and it worked like a charm. Wishing you the best of luck! The key is being patient and consistent. I’m far from an owner like Beckman but I’m a lot better bc of his trainings.
I love that you get different types of dogs. Your methods are not my favorite, but they are not wrong. That is why it is so important to adopt aggressive dogs to the right people. You can't buy into the " Only Positive kind of crap"
I cheated. My malinois is a bomb dog, so the military made my "aggressive" dog trained for me. Lol. I like to adopt military dogs because i dont like the idea that some of those dogs serve our species, and then get completely disregarded by our ridiculously lead system. They are veterans too, and we shouldn't just turn our backs on them. Like my rocky dog. His handler became terminal, and couldn't care for him. He was in awful living conditions because the nurses treated him like crap. When my roommate saw the horrid conditions she brought him home, and then ended up being my best friend. Now i want to adopt all military doggy veterans
he's not a bad trainer, but he never hurt the dog, that's a mistake. when u need to correct a dog sometime u HAVE TO make him feel the pain, like the mom would do to the puppy. not that mutch but just some in order for the dog to feel it
Ok but what does he call every single dog and every single thing a dog does; ''aggression?'' Has he ever seen a dog that is ACTUALLY aggressive? Doesn't seem so... So far, while watching his videos, I have only seen 2 dogs that were ACTUALLY aggressive... ALL the rest just had some mild behavior issues...
@@nogerboher5266 lmao you literally just said "has he ever saw an aggressive dog, doesn't seem so" then the next sentence you said you saw 2 in his videos😂😂😂 you disproved your own point😂😂😂🤔🤔
Couldn't agree more. Dogs don't lie. Trainers can talk smack against each other but Joel just needs people to look at his dogs to prove he's the real deal and knows what he is talking about when it comes to dog training.
I wish more than anything that I wasn’t so damn soft when my dog was younger. “Positive only” training tricked me into never really giving my dog a stern NO, and so everything was taking as a joke, it seems, for my dog. Of course, it’s largely my fault-I was so reluctant to anything but “positive”, and I realize now there needs to be more balance. Love this channel.
I guess you kind of missunderstood positive reinforcement 😅 it's absolutely not about never saying no... You work to have the behavior you want to be there 🤷 And it's hard work. It's not doing nothing or not saying no.
Don't be so hard on yourself. It is never too late to change your training method. I adopted a 7-year old husky (he had basic training and was well behaved). Recall, walking on a leash wasn't great and he wasn't socialised very much. 6 months later and with the help of Joel's video he is walking off-leash and getting along with all the dogs at the dog park. You can be disciplined and positive. If you ask for a sit, follow through when they sit. When they do sit, be positive and reinforce it with praise or treat. If you ask for sit and they lay down, do not praise or acknowledge, keep going until they are sitting. You can do it :)
I have a rescued 4 yr old boy pit mix and 1 yr old girl German shepherd and I’m afraid that she will get the same behavior as my pit could that happen? My Pitt is getting aggressive and when meeting other dogs I don’t know what will get and I just get scared every time we go out because of an incident that happen. We’ve tried to correct but it’s like when he gets in attack mode nothing of what we do helps like he goes in tunnel vision:( Pls any advise ? Thank you
@@Jessica-nx1ft Watch all Beckman's videos! Work on getting both dogs super obedient, super-oriented to you first and foremost; take the loose leash videos to the mat; there's probably no silver bullet for high powered dogs like yours... Good luck!
@@Jessica-nx1ft I was worried about the same thing, my dog older dog had some behavioral issues and I was hoping my new dog dog get the same..It hasn't happened luckily but more training is here for both
watching your videos helped me so much. I have a pyreneese who ignores me until i get close to his high value food items. PLEASE do a video on food aggression!!!
Your presentation style is perfect. Really glad to know I’m not shamed by real dog trainers. I have a 6 months old Dogue de Bordeaux and work with him several hours a day.
My Dogue de Bordeaux recently passed away (cancer)😢 wish I could afford another. He was crazy strong and very protective of me. Never thought I'd say that I miss the drool, but, I do😔
This is great. This will help my Boxer with his nervousness towards other dogs. He's much better as he's getting older now, but there is still moments I need to improve with him. Thank you
Earlier this year I adopted an 11 lb. poodle-schnauzer mix named Max and as he slowly "came out of his shell" over the next month he began displaying a lot of aggression towards other dogs. I was dreading the arrival of my wife who was returning from overseas with our Pin-Tzu as I knew that Max would do the "stare on a tight leash." But thanks to the techniques you demonstrated I was able to correct his behavior and in less than an hour he and the Pin-Tzu were best friends. So thanks very much for this.
I noticed how the Staffy went over to his owner for reinforcement, after being disciplined. Typical insecurity. He knew he is wrong and was just being corrected but tried play on his owner for backup.
He will learn what is ok and get given freedom to me that is positive. This dog looked less stressed after being corrected. They just need to understand
This is excellent! Thank you SO much! The corrections (as well as the timing) to the mastiff is so educational! I appreciate how he kept trying to go back at Prince and it took a few stern corrections - very helpful - and reassuring! Your videos give me hope!
It does change everything when your dog starts picking fights. I actually found this channel because of it. I haven't taken my husky to the dog park in awhile because the last two times she started fights with other dogs but I have a plan and some ideas on how I can get her to stop acting like a maniac now.
Our gsd picks fights out of fear too. We take her to the dog park only if she has a dog friend to go with or meet there. If she does she's well behaved. Wouldn't take her there by herself anymore.
I had to stop taking my dog there a long time ago. She loved it when she was younger, hit puberty, flipped a switch. She wasn't mine during her prime socialization period so I suspect she was a bit undersocialized, but it didn't help that I just...didn't know what to do. She's territorial of me to boot, so while she isn't always reactive, that can totally change if the other dog breaks one of her random rules about me, or doorways, or tight spaces... She's 8 now, so I just manage her exposure for the most part. I don't have a "Prince" nearby acting like a total angel to work her through this, and there's no guarantee she would hate Prince anyway. She's only medium horrible 😅
I keep restarting this episode and rewatching it all. I needed ALL of this: my knee is on ice from going down on a walk trying to deal w my big bad dog. I wonder why Joel dealt w the second dog OFF leash the whole time... thank you to the moon for this.
Love this. My wife got a dog when I first met her and was an amateur dog owner, she bought a husky German shepherd mix. The dog was not bad just severely babied and aloud to do whatever it wanted and never got corrected because it was “mean” to do that. Then I began corrections and following these training videos and it was night and day difference. I feel as if you need to look at dogs as kids and you have to train them both what is right or wrong just with a different process and 9 times out of 10 the bad kid in school is never disiplined or corrected while the professional kid had strict but fair parents. That’s the key strict but fair.
We adopted a 5 year old dog aggressive male a few years ago, we were told not to let him near other dogs. Well thanks to you, we've gone from avoiding other dogs, to giving him a chance everytime. He's surprised us so much, sometimes he still goes to lunge and growl, so I correct him. Other times he just sniffs now! (Depends on the dog I think) But I'm always ready for a correction on a loose slip lead. It really make the world of difference, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for all the content and knowledge you put out here. My dog doesn't respond to treats, he was never that food motivated. This is really helpful, and I'm going to give your tips a try.
I like your style. I also like the fact that you know all dogs have their own personality (you need to be tougher on some than others). The 100% positive training group needs to learn that they are dealing with canines. I believe in positive reinforcement vocals (also treats when training) when my dog does acceptable behavior (that has been previously taught). I never hesitate to let my pooch have a correction, vocal and leash when he does something unacceptable. Again, they're canines responding to the alpha leader...they need and desire this leadership. I don't see any cruelty in what you're doing.
Alpha theory has been disproven. This treats the surface level behavior but exasperates the underlying problem. Dogs associate. This dog is associating Prince with leash pops. This is surface level training which is worse than an aggressive dog because now the dog is still aggressive, but it hides it. That's dangerous.
First off want to say, thank you! I've been watching positive reinforcements videos for 3 months to prepare me for a puppy. They didn't help with a damn thing. It was like a parent who coddled her kid, their end result will always be a spoiled brat. I watched your videos for a day(started yesterday) and it's like I've had my puppy (5 month old Border Collie x Great Pyrenees so she will get big) for a year of training when I've only had her for a month. Everything you taught has resonated with me and the type of discipline I want my puppy to have(she will be a reflection of me, so she can have her puppy fun, but she needs to be calm and assertive as an end result.) I have some questions for anyone who reads these comments if they're able to answer of even if you are able to do a video on them. 1.) After she meets someone(she either sits or lays doen) the whole walk afterwards she tries to jump at every other person. How do I stop this? 2.) She gets the zoomies when we're about to get close to the house and starts running wild, how do I stop this as well. 3.) She walks on my right side when she doesn't like a person or a dog instead of staying on my left and being confidant. Should I make her stay on my left or let her go to my right as a way to show her I'll protect her(I will protect her either way, but, it's big dogs who are trying to walk up to her who look aggressive/small dogs with attitude problems/people wearing masks and dark clothing that she steers away from) is it an age thing as well? She doesn't bark back at any of thr dogs, she just looks at them and walks away.
@@DougHinVA I understand all of that, but she is a puppy. I'll just be patient and understanding until around 7/8 months then I'll start putting my no-nonsense vibe on. She is a puppy, most of the things I listed are normal puppy behaviours(watched his previous videos) it would be different if she was 8 months+(the type of training this is for). I'm doing extremely above average though.
New to your classes. I have used a few of your techniques over time, saw some new ones if I need I will use. You do a great job explaining. Love your Dobie, have had several, fantastic dogs. Kinda breaks my heart for him to be your coworker. I know he is a very needed and useful aid. He is a good boy.
this is exactly how my corso is! omg thank you for showing me how i can correct him besides hollering at him! it’s so hard not knowing exactly what to do
This video really hits home, I’ve got a few dogs that are aggressive to other dogs that come around. Well, any other animals. Gonna have to put this to use!
Great demo on your technique. Maybe the most concise yet. I keep studying your videos and applying this to my rescue Cattle Dog. I am seeing quantifiable improvements. Hugely helpful to see a range of behavior. Mine started out acting more like the mastiff, and is now a bit more like the staffordshire terrier (when he’s at his worst). As such, my corrections have gotten less harsh over time.
Joel! This was great!! Seeing you in full mode with the voice over really helped me visually watch so much better. When your on screen I tend to watch you rather than the dogs behavior. I seem to not catch it in time, I'm a second or two behind..
One of the best things I’ve learned from Beckman videos is the attitude of “that’s enough already “. So much I don’t put up with anymore. I see now that a lot of it is our attitude. And also the attitude of “I will wait all day right here” until they comply. It’s surprising how fast it works. I use a combo of this and treats. I have a Shepard Husky mix who likes to use his body to force what he wants. I can finally after 2 months get him down off the couch position he has chosen 🤣
8:46 exactly the dilemma. I found a calm neighborhood dog/understanding owner and have been doing the meeting/playdate like the mastiff meeting Prince scenario. I accepted some pulling as well because nothing phases my dog and I was happy after about 20 corrections over 30 minutes he was responding to my correction to sit about 2 feet away. I hope with practice my dog will understand I want him to be calmer to get closer than 2 feet to other dogs.
Well this definitely made my Monday! Wow. Excellent video! Loved the corrections, touch, circle of trust...why do neuter dogs go after unneuter dogs? My dog is neutered. I've seen him more aggressive after I had him neutered he is 2 yrs old Great video 🐾🐕❤
i’d love to try and socialize my neighbours dog i’m walking who’s somewhat aggressive but finding people who are willing to work with us for training is so hard
I don't know if you will ever read this but you helped me so much with my 2 Maremman shepherds, 1 male 4 years aggressive towards other big males And 1 female super distracted 9 months old. I used basically every video you have uploaded as a guide. I will say that my male is now 80% on what he can be. I just can't stop him fighting or should I say I stop him and then after few minutes he is lost again. It's a big dog (53 kg) and I'll try the knee flip, it seems legit. Thanks and I you can I will love other aggressive dog video. Greetings from Italy
With every dog I have owned for the last 45yrs, from chihuahuas to border collies, labs, and cocker spaniels, I have used letting them charge off on a loose leash with this same sharp single correction as an integral part of being in my household pack (which includes 2 cats and 2 free range guineapigs), be they puppies, mid aged adult or older rescues. The ùse of this, plus my strong command to heel at the same time, has set up a great behaved dog on leash and off, and made behavioural training in all other areas easy and productive. It also reinforces that in the pack order, their owners are alpha/top in the pack. It really works
A good thing to keep an eye on is the "hard stare" I call it. The body is usually pretty stiff and the dog basically locks it's eyes on the other dog. Some dogs will go at another dog within milliseconds of the stare. The first dog did that a few times.
This is how I can see a dog fight starting before it’s even begun. My pit bull used to do it. How do the owners not see it? I feel like I’m the only one at the dog park sometimes and everyone else is dreaming.
What kind of muzzle do u use? And what do you think about baskervilles plus ultra, I've heard of dogs being able to bite through them. I have my rescue pitt who's aggressive towards other Male dogs, and your videos have helped me so much!
I want to know do you have any tips for two dogs that are reactive with each other? These are great tips but I would like to use them on helping me to fix the aggression between my two dogs.
Can you pls tell me what muzzle do you have on the mastiff or would you recommend for a mastiff.ive just got a Baskerville ultra but don't feel it fits that well and worry he could get out it or bite through it.its a size five but the four is too small.it would help a lot if you could answer please Oh and another great vid thanx
Excellent ..wish I was in the States Id do anything to get my dog to tdop going for dogs who come and greet her ... on or off leash..positive affirmation just does not work ( spent hundreds of dollars with a trainer .. ) I will keep watching your videos and applying your techniques.. very interesting to see you use the harness to correct thank you for the great vids
I’m glad I found your videos! They’re very helpful especially after being quarantined my dogs have gone back to bad habits. We also moved from a house to an apt and they are leash reactive. Everyday is more and more progress for both myself and my dogs. Thank you!
I wish you would be here in South Africa! My Boxer dog and I would have a chance for happier dog encounters. Definitely trying to become a more clear dog owner.
I have a reactive dobie mix . My trainers have been using some of these techniques to tame my dog . He has made heaps of improvement in a matter of weeks. He’s still not perfect . But he is easier to control . Neighbours have noticed he’s a lot better behaved .
I appreciate this for my Belgian Malnois/ Shepherd mix shes a puppy and she barks and lunges at ppl and big dogs. She loves small dogs and babies though
That pull you do almost made my dog bite me after she went crazy on a dog during our walk in the community homes i live in. I need help. I am saving up to bring her to you Joel. For now i will watch all these videos and hopefully it will help.
Thank you for this video, I have a problem with a huge dog that is great at everything but has never met a dog that didn’t attack him (while it was small, with the previous owner). Now he has a problem and attacks all the dogs he sees. males, females, even small ones. I don’t have a lot of trained dogs available like you. I only have this one. Do you have any suggestions. To introduce him to females first or to a big one like him that will make him think about chasing.
Informative video. I have a Maltese that when I walk on a loose leash is behind me and follows. We're made a lot of strides since I adopted him. He will now come, sit, stay and even starting on rolling over but when inside he likes to gravitate to his crate and spends most of his time there. We do not secure the door but it has become his safe place. What is the best method to get him to walk next to me?
Subbed. I have been struggling with an aggressive dog named Turbo. He does not care if I have food rewards if there is another dog. I have been able to get him to stop lunging and barking at people, but not other dogs.
Love your videos, I have a chow chow and leash correction has changed the game. Any tips of nail trimming / cutting. Positive reinforcement isn't working w/ nails
Take him to a groomer. I just do the nails pretty much no matter what, I only stop if the dog is thrashing to the point where it will hurt itself. Usually they learn that struggling will not end the nail trimming session lol Depends on the dog, but I'd try that.
My dog really isn't aggressive he's playful. And when we are on walks he's protective. We have a older rescue dog I would love for them to be social together but he's to rough with her he's a half pit/lab 8 months and strong as hell. I'll try this method.
Could you please link the video for fear and agresion? The one you have mentioned during this one. I have poor internet signal so having trouble with sesrching
Have you got any videos on dealing with dogs that play too rough? Not aggression but athletic and high energy confidence that needs to learn when a dog is not as keen on that play styles. Thanks!

We adopted a 5 year old dog aggressive male a few years ago, we were told not to let him near other dogs. Well thanks to you, we've gone from avoiding other dogs, to giving him a chance everytime. He's surprised us so much, sometimes he still goes to lunge and growl, so I correct him. Other times he just sniffs now! (Depends on the dog I think) But I'm always ready for a correction on a loose slip lead. It really make the world of difference, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for all the content and knowledge you put out here. My dog doesn't respond to treats, he was never that food motivated. This is really helpful, and I'm going to give your tips a try.
Excellent information. After watching this 3 times immediately started implementing these tools with success. You are amazing!!
Thank you. ❤️
I like your style. I also like the fact that you know all dogs have their own personality (you need to be tougher on some than others). The 100% positive training group needs to learn that they are dealing with canines. I believe in positive reinforcement vocals (also treats when training) when my dog does acceptable behavior (that has been previously taught). I never hesitate to let my pooch have a correction, vocal and leash when he does something unacceptable. Again, they're canines responding to the alpha leader...they need and desire this leadership. I don't see any cruelty in what you're doing.
Alpha theory has been disproven. This treats the surface level behavior but exasperates the underlying problem. Dogs associate. This dog is associating Prince with leash pops. This is surface level training which is worse than an aggressive dog because now the dog is still aggressive, but it hides it. That's dangerous.
Another awesome Beckman Video. Thanks a ton!
I loves yours prince I can see the way he signals it. He's a mint dog :)
First off want to say, thank you! I've been watching positive reinforcements videos for 3 months to prepare
me for a puppy. They didn't help with a damn thing. It was like a parent who coddled her kid, their end result will always be a spoiled brat.
I watched your videos for a day(started yesterday) and it's like I've had my puppy (5 month old Border Collie x Great Pyrenees so she will get big) for a year of training when I've only had her for a month.
Everything you taught has resonated with me and the type of discipline I want my puppy to have(she will be a reflection of me, so she can have her puppy fun, but she needs to be calm and assertive as an end result.)
I have some questions for anyone who reads these comments if they're able to answer of even if you are able to do a video on them.
1.) After she meets someone(she either sits or lays doen) the whole walk afterwards she tries to jump at every other person. How do I stop this?
2.) She gets the zoomies when we're about to get close to the house and starts running wild, how do I stop this as well.
3.) She walks on my right side when she doesn't like a person or a dog instead of staying on my left and being confidant. Should I make her stay on my left or let her go to my right as a way to show her I'll protect her(I will protect her either way, but, it's big dogs who are trying to walk up to her who look aggressive/small dogs with attitude problems/people wearing masks and dark clothing that she steers away from) is it an age thing as well? She doesn't bark back at any of thr dogs, she just looks at them and walks away.
@@DougHinVA I understand all of that, but she is a puppy. I'll just be patient and understanding until around 7/8 months then I'll start putting my no-nonsense vibe on. She is a puppy, most of the things I listed are normal puppy behaviours(watched his previous videos) it would be different if she was 8 months+(the type of training this is for). I'm doing extremely above average though.
@@TheCreatorMagic nothing wrong with starting early. You mistake obedience for not being able to have fun. Not True.
New to your classes. I have used a few of your techniques over time, saw some new ones if I need I will use. You do a great job explaining. Love your Dobie, have had several, fantastic dogs. Kinda breaks my heart for him to be your coworker. I know he is a very needed and useful aid. He is a good boy.
Great. Amazing stuff. Your content is just brilliant. Thx for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank God i found your videos. I am in need of help. You make sense!! Thank you.
this is exactly how my corso is! omg thank you for showing me how i can correct him besides hollering at him! it’s so hard not knowing exactly what to do
This video really hits home, I’ve got a few dogs that are aggressive to other dogs that come around. Well, any other animals. Gonna have to put this to use!
Best thing about you is that you don’t use any tools but communication to train
Great demo on your technique. Maybe the most concise yet. I keep studying your videos and applying this to my rescue Cattle Dog. I am seeing quantifiable improvements. Hugely helpful to see a range of behavior. Mine started out acting more like the mastiff, and is now a bit more like the staffordshire terrier (when he’s at his worst). As such, my corrections have gotten less harsh over time.
Joel! This was great!! Seeing you in full mode with the voice over really helped me visually watch so much better. When your on screen I tend to watch you rather than the dogs behavior. I seem to not catch it in time, I'm a second or two behind..
Yep I like the voiceover vids for this reason too 👍
Ya I end up watching several times
I just discovered your channel and I totally love your no bs approach👏👏
With that being said, new subscriber here👍
Great video I appreciate this man thank you
Thank you for the video!!!!
honest channel honestly. epic trainer
Thanks really helpful!
another no nonsense great vid thanks
I have a 160 pound Cane Corso which is absolutely the "Thanos" of reactivity, I will use your help, thank you from Brazil...your videos are amazing.
One of the best things I’ve learned from Beckman videos is the attitude of “that’s enough already “. So much I don’t put up with anymore. I see now that a lot of it is our attitude. And also the attitude of “I will wait all day right here” until they comply. It’s surprising how fast it works. I use a combo of this and treats. I have a Shepard Husky mix who likes to use his body to force what he wants. I can finally after 2 months get him down off the couch position he has chosen 🤣
8:46 exactly the dilemma. I found a calm neighborhood dog/understanding owner and have been doing the meeting/playdate like the mastiff meeting Prince scenario. I accepted some pulling as well because nothing phases my dog and I was happy after about 20 corrections over 30 minutes he was responding to my correction to sit about 2 feet away. I hope with practice my dog will understand I want him to be calmer to get closer than 2 feet to other dogs.
Well this definitely made my Monday! Wow. Excellent video!
Loved the corrections, touch, circle of trust...why do neuter dogs go after unneuter dogs? My dog is neutered. I've seen him more aggressive after I had him neutered he is 2 yrs old
Great video 🐾🐕❤
You are simply the best
I wouldn't mess with that big boy.
On another note, you've done great with prince, he's a good boy.
I see some merch on the horizon. T-shirts and mugs that say "We can do this all day".
i’d love to try and socialize my neighbours dog i’m walking who’s somewhat aggressive but finding people who are willing to work with us for training is so hard
I don't know if you will ever read this but you helped me so much with my 2 Maremman shepherds, 1 male 4 years aggressive towards other big males
And 1 female super distracted 9 months old.
I used basically every video you have uploaded as a guide. I will say that my male is now 80% on what he can be. I just can't stop him fighting or should I say I stop him and then after few minutes he is lost again. It's a big dog (53 kg) and I'll try the knee flip, it seems legit. Thanks and I you can I will love other aggressive dog video. Greetings from Italy
With every dog I have owned for the last 45yrs, from chihuahuas to border collies, labs, and cocker spaniels, I have used letting them charge off on a loose leash with this same sharp single correction as an integral part of being in my household pack (which includes 2 cats and 2 free range guineapigs), be they puppies, mid aged adult or older rescues. The ùse of this, plus my strong command to heel at the same time, has set up a great behaved dog on leash and off, and made behavioural training in all other areas easy and productive. It also reinforces that in the pack order, their owners are alpha/top in the pack. It really works
Excellent video.
A good thing to keep an eye on is the "hard stare" I call it. The body is usually pretty stiff and the dog basically locks it's eyes on the other dog. Some dogs will go at another dog within milliseconds of the stare. The first dog did that a few times.
This is how I can see a dog fight starting before it’s even begun. My pit bull used to do it. How do the owners not see it?
I feel like I’m the only one at the dog park sometimes and everyone else is dreaming.
GREAT video!!
What kind of muzzle do u use? And what do you think about baskervilles plus ultra, I've heard of dogs being able to bite through them. I have my rescue pitt who's aggressive towards other Male dogs, and your videos have helped me so much!
That brindle coat is beautiful. Prince be like bruh calm down lol
3:48 5:10 me and my dog all the time. I'm amazed to see how you handled this massive dog.
I want to know do you have any tips for two dogs that are reactive with each other? These are great tips but I would like to use them on helping me to fix the aggression between my two dogs.
Can you pls tell me what muzzle do you have on the mastiff or would you recommend for a mastiff.ive just got a Baskerville ultra but don't feel it fits that well and worry he could get out it or bite through it.its a size five but the four is too small.it would help a lot if you could answer please
Oh and another great vid thanx
Excellent ..wish I was in the States Id do anything to get my dog to tdop going for dogs who come and greet her ... on or off leash..positive affirmation just does not work ( spent hundreds of dollars with a trainer .. ) I will keep watching your videos and applying your techniques.. very interesting to see you use the harness to correct thank you for the great vids
Glad to see your subscribers are growing (:
I’m glad I found your videos! They’re very helpful especially after being quarantined my dogs have gone back to bad habits. We also moved from a house to an apt and they are leash reactive. Everyday is more and more progress for both myself and my dogs. Thank you!
I wish you would be here in South Africa!
My Boxer dog and I would have a chance for happier dog encounters. Definitely trying to become a more clear dog owner.
I have a reactive dobie mix . My trainers have been using some of these techniques to tame my dog . He has made heaps of improvement in a matter of weeks. He’s still not perfect . But he is easier to control . Neighbours have noticed he’s a lot better behaved .
TY!!
Great video
Great video! Can you do a video on how to stop dogs from play biting??
Jo, I am a big fan of all your video.
What is your opinion about an harness for a fear reactive dog ? (daschund)
I appreciate this for my Belgian Malnois/ Shepherd mix shes a puppy and she barks and lunges at ppl and big dogs. She loves small dogs and babies though
That pull you do almost made my dog bite me after she went crazy on a dog during our walk in the community homes i live in. I need help. I am saving up to bring her to you Joel. For now i will watch all these videos and hopefully it will help.
Hi, could you please make a video on how to stop your dog running from a property when your not there ?
Love your work thanks!
Thank you for this video, I have a problem with a huge dog that is great at everything but has never met a dog that didn’t attack him (while it was small, with the previous owner). Now he has a problem and attacks all the dogs he sees. males, females, even small ones. I don’t have a lot of trained dogs available like you. I only have this one. Do you have any suggestions. To introduce him to females first or to a big one like him that will make him think about chasing.
Hey Joel, great stuff as usual. If this dog tried going up the leash or at you, would you still use a side touch or just apply leash pressure up?
Informative video. I have a Maltese that when I walk on a loose leash is behind me and follows. We're made a lot of strides since I adopted him. He will now come, sit, stay and even starting on rolling over but when inside he likes to gravitate to his crate and spends most of his time there. We do not secure the door but it has become his safe place. What is the best method to get him to walk next to me?
Subbed. I have been struggling with an aggressive dog named Turbo. He does not care if I have food rewards if there is another dog. I have been able to get him to stop lunging and barking at people, but not other dogs.
Does it makes difrence if I do this on agressive dog's teritory?
Love your videos, I have a chow chow and leash correction has changed the game. Any tips of nail trimming / cutting. Positive reinforcement isn't working w/ nails
Take him to a groomer. I just do the nails pretty much no matter what, I only stop if the dog is thrashing to the point where it will hurt itself.
Usually they learn that struggling will not end the nail trimming session lol
Depends on the dog, but I'd try that.
My dog really isn't aggressive he's playful. And when we are on walks he's protective. We have a older rescue dog I would love for them to be social together but he's to rough with her he's a half pit/lab 8 months and strong as hell. I'll try this method.
Great video,you got a sub.
what type of leash did you use sir?
Thank you! My silver lab is dog aggressive and we're being told to put him down or sell him. I'm trying to avoid those and help his aggression. :)
Could you please link the video for fear and agresion? The one you have mentioned during this one. I have poor internet signal so having trouble with sesrching
Have you got any videos on dealing with dogs that play too rough? Not aggression but athletic and high energy confidence that needs to learn when a dog is not as keen on that play styles. Thanks!
A prong collar would work well in this situation. Such a large breed gets minimal communication(correction) through the flat collar....great video!
Wish you were in Ontario
Night and day after a 20 minute walk
What muzzle you recommend
