There is SO MUCH going on for a dog during walks. Exercise, interaction with the owner, understanding what's expected while on a leash, mental stimulation, new people/animals/situations to learn about--all kinds of stuff, and it's all important. I have a friend who used to think that walks were just about exercise and pottying. He thought letting the dogs out in the yard to play together and do their business was enough, and then wondered why it was so hard to manage them on a leash when they needed to go to the vet. It was all because he didn't have them on a leash regularly enough to learn how to behave! His Dane mix was apparently deactivated by the leash--she'd just flop to the ground and act like she was paralyzed, and would have to be carried (with her very long Dane legs dangling all over the place). His black Labrador, who's absurdly huge for a female Lab, would turn into an anchor and darn near needed a winch to move. His third dog, pit/lab cross who's insanely strong, had no idea the leash was there or had any functional purpose, and would fly off in wild excitement, dragging anyone holding the leash like a kite. It took a lot of work to get them all to understand what they were supposed to do on the leash, but now the walks are fun and pleasant for everyone involved.
In one episode, Josh said walks are not just for getting your dog some exercise, but are also training sessions. Walking provides an opportunity to be used for working on various issues by giving corrections.
Joel: thanks for another video masterpiece! I am so tired of “it’s all the owner’s fault” ….. very refreshing to hear you say “he is just a nutty dog and the owners have dealt with it the best they could”.
Most cases its owners fault, but like ppl are different so are dogs, some people can be better persons with a lil help some with more…. Same with dogs, not all owners are equipped with same level of knowledge
Still not the owners "fault", as there isn't always a fault needed to be found! They said this dog is one, hasn't given much time to do proper training and here they are now with Joel.if it's a nutty dog they are doing whats best for it where they are, no fault found.
@@mildredhighcock7333 they took him where he could get the proper help and learn. Even when people do the right thing some other peoples will judge. There is no shame in this. Your opinion might be what it is, but doesn't make it correct. Just sayin.
It's obviously not all the owner's fault, but I can't help but wonder while watching these videos, why would a (quite obviously) not very active person get a doberman mix, a pitbull, a husky mix, anything like that and then not even walk them regularly? Where I live not walking your dog is considered animal cruelty. Most people I know with dogs walk them 2-3 times a day in addition to other exercise. It just seems to me that a lot of people aren't aware of the kind of work it takes to properly stimulate and exercise a dog like that and then can't keep up with up them.
I think a big problem is that a lot of people completely underestimate just how much their dog needs exercise. We had two cocker spaniels for our very first dogs and we tried our best to make sure we walked them as much as recommended, which for that breed was 1-2 times a day. They actually needed about 3-5 per day to get all the energy out, and they were off the leash in woodlands and fields so they probably went for 10 miles per walk.
Joel is just being nice. In reality there’s almost always fault when it comes to dog behavior. THIS IS NOT JUST A NUTTY DOG and Joel knows it. These people are not treating their dogs appropriately. He’s an untrained, undisciplined, intact one year old Doberman mix that doesn’t even get walked for Gods sake IT’S 💯 THE OWNERS FAULT. People that get working dogs like Dobermans, Malinios, hounds, Shepards, border collies, huskies, rots, etc and expect them to be at-home family dogs are fkkn irresponsible, uneducated and ignorant people. They really should be ashamed for neglecting their animals needs. These breeds ARE WORKING DOGS. They REQUIRE a shit ton of mental stimulation, exercise and love to be working not just playing but training and having a job. THEY ARE NOT JUST SEDENTARY FAMILY DOGS FOR PROTECTING YOUR HOME.
The beauty of this channel is that we are seeing Joel's method unfold before our very eyes and ears in real time with no editing. Thank you for your honesty!
The importance of intact males having a pissing match is seriously understated. Prince, and the young dobe, immediately knew which was the alpha, and all the tension disappeared. They knew how to play, and interact, immediately after. If u have an intact dog its very beneficial to have a tree or something dogs like to mark whenever u meet a new dog
even with training.. that dog is too much for it's owners.. this dog needs owners that live an active lifestyle, he's strong and full of energy. The owners should've just gotten a small lap dog like a Yorkie. lol
@@bradg3906 You can tell they are not walking their dog, can you not? People who are not planning on being active (do not like to go for walks), should get small breeds only. I totally agree with J R. G.
@@marias5088 Not a *yorkie* though!?! Seriously, they *DO NOT* stop. You think this doberman mix has energy? I've seen 16 to 20 year old yorkies with like TWICE this energy level... They will act like this no matter what you do. What's next? You suggest an Italian Greyhound or a Jack Russel Terrier? The mix of the two? Small does not equal low energy dog. Really the only good dog for a "no energy" house is either a severely disabled dog, a pug (same as the first option really), a mellow ex-service dog who was disqualified only for health reasons, a retired service dog looking for a new home, or a mellow low-energy elderly dog. All dogs should be heavily screened and avoided if they show any inate signs of anxiety or aggression. (The ex-service animals should be allowed to assist the couple with household chores. They will basically become in-home support dogs, which is a dream come true for most retired service animals.)
@@marias5088 I absolutely hate this mentality... Walks aren't the only form of physical exercise a dog can get. You can take the dog to a park and throw a ball. You can get a treadmill and walk them on that. You can teach them how to do professional dog sports. You can take them to a dog park. There are so many other options besides just boring ass walks wtf
This couple care enough about their dog to take it to daycare and to consult a professional in order to get a handle on the situation. Clearly, they want to make this work. As someone else pointed out, there are many ways to exercise a dog. I applaud their commitment.
Glad to see a Doberman that has complete ears and tail. It is so wrong to cut the ears and tail! What a wonderful dog. So interested, so happy and clearly a kind dog. Dobermen are so easy to train because they are so smart, so loyal, so energetic and so kind.
New to your channel and LOVING it! I’ve binge watched a bunch of your videos and have learned more than ever. One of my favorite things about you is the grace you extend to your clients. It’s rare and greatly appreciated. I also love how balanced you are with your training style. I am so over “positive reinforcement” for everything. There is a place for it, but it is not the answer for everything. Thank you.
Our weim was the crazy, nutty dog for many years. He was intact and never met a dog he didn’t like, however some dogs couldn’t handle his confident, crazy, nature. He simmered down around 8 years old! I walked him twice a day for 90 minutes and played ball, he just was crazy energetic! After my babies were born, I had to show him very little attention because touch or talk got him to a 10. He is more manageable now at 14 years and I even noticed some people commenting on how well he walks with a loose leash - it made me feel great but at the time I wish they knew how much time and perseverance went into that moment. I cannot give up on him even at 14, I’m always keeping him in line and making sure he is with me and not leaving. Nice video!
I had a Vizsla that was just like your dog many years ago, except he was neutered and not dominant. Don't forget we have/ had gundogs and they're working breeds. You have to put the work in to get the results you want/ need. But it's all worth it in the long run.
“Walking your dog is a good thing” 😂 I just can’t. I am sorry but I am so tired of the amount of dog owners that don’t walk their dog. Where I live it is illegal to not walk your dog at least once a day even if it has a backyard etc. Even so people don’t..
Yeah it's disgusting how many people don't walk their dog and then complain about behavioural problems :/ a friend of mine has a husky (intact) doesn't walk him, complain he pees on stuff, destroys things, escapes, but he doesn't walk him, just let's him out in the garden and that's it, I've told him time and time again he needs vigorous exercise and he is adamant it won't work 😑
I get disgusted and shocked when I hear that. These people have an active, strong dog that's full of energy. These people should have gotten a bulldog or or toy dog.
@@dannyh5937 even my 13-14 pound dogs are a handful. If they got to choose they would go for hikes several times a day, I have a hard time keeping up with their energy some days! :)
@@idarahmqvist1373 I bet, they're animals. They need to be outside. I understand everyone is different with varying amounts of athletic abilities and if you can run, hike or walk at a fast pace that's the best. I've been with dogs that can walk for hours, get home and they're ready to go out again. But not even walk a dog? Cmon, why have it? By getting a dog you essentially sign an imaginary contract that you'll walk it daily.
I love how you do your intro Joel with just you speaking & the video playing. I feel as if everyone that brings their dog to you wants to hear "Prince likes him or her" lol
Oh my gosh, that dobie is GORGEOUS! My great dane is pretty wild, which was hard for me to wrap my head around because I was always told danes are mellow/lazy. THEY'RE NOT. Idk why people think this. I wish leash corrections would work on him, but he is just too big and strong. Nothing phases him. These people are fortunate the leash corrections can actually help them, lol.
It should go without saying that all dogs of the same breed are not the same temperaments or energy levels and if you get a “giant” breed you should be doing this training at a young age to avoid those hard fights later on. I’ve owned a Dane, Mastiff, and 2 Pyrenees/Mastiff siblings. Bit off more than you can chew, can’t get a dog that size expecting “this will be easy they’re so lazy”
@@The.Nasty. Yeah, I seriously doubt our research gave us the full truth about danes. We searched many many sources, and they mainly gave praises to the dane's gentle giantness, youtubers dedicating their channels to their knowledge and personal experience with danes while their dog sits quietly and calmly next to them, some sources even suggesting they can be good apartment dogs, but I'm fully and thoroughly convinced we somehow managed to find only outliers in our research. Shame on us for using Google. After my bf got our dane, and even with awesome training (been training dogs all my life, you're preaching to the choir. I'm extremely aware and well versed in how divergent personalities can be within breeds, which is why I am not totally surprised Loki acts like a cattle dog on stilts, I'm disappointment in the mass misinformation about the breed.) Same thing happens with greyhounds. People keep emphasizing the "40mph couch potato" bit, but neglect to warn people how much exercise they actually need, and how potentially aggressive they can be. Heard and seen many horror stories of bad encounters between greyhounds and other dogs and animals. Granted, this is my first real great dane experience, what we expected was a terrible twos level puppy stage. We didn't go into this thinking, “this will be easy they’re so lazy” as you condescendingly put it. We were aware that as soon as he hit his teenage stage, he would be a nightmare puppy for essentially the next 3 years. We braced and readied for that impact, and I poured my heart, soul, and entire being into his training, so much so that my bf couldn't help but to become a bit of a natural at dog training himself. What I realized is that Loki is so well bred(Yes, WELL bred), it's as if he was intended to actually be put to work as a dedicated hunting dog. Great danes were originally bred to hunt BOAR of all things, which meant they had to have the fearlessless, agility, and tenacity to get the job done. Boar are no joke, it takes one hell of a dog to take one on. What I see in Loki is a dog who needs every day to be dedicated to only him and a job for him to do. This dog is born to work, as his ancestry suggests. What I derive from that is a similar phenomena to what's been the situation with pitbull terriers. People are so desperate to push a "nanny dog" narrative that they completely neglect any sort of acknowledgment and respect for the breed's FULL history, and the incredible power behind the dog, so unsuspecting people go out and get a pitbull based on a faulty narrative, then the next thing you know, the most common breed dropped off at shelters are pitbulls and the most commonly seen breed in dog attack videos are pitbulls, because the owners were in over their heads and didn't realize it. They are hurting the breed by promoting a romantic mass delusion. I'm totally fine with taking some responsibility just because I'm not as intimately familiar with giant molosser breeds as I am with generally any other breed, it has been a learning experience, but I am not omnipotent. As an autistic person who has always hyperfocused on dogs since I could barely walk, I am extremely flexible and quick to learn when it comes to dogs (I literally used to run on my fours and try to be a dog ALL the time when I was a kid), so I didn't mind welcoming the experience, so I did not "bite off more than I can chew", I merely did not receive the type of dog I asked for, which happens from time to time, and I still wholely welcome and accept them. You can't infer based off of two lines of text under a youtube video that I'm some poor dumb fool who can't handle her own dog. Always amuses me how those who aren't living under my roof seem to have all access to knowledge about my life suddenly. At this point in time, Loki has shown such fantastic results of the training I poured into him that I have people come up to me asking HOW it's possible, HOW did I train him to have such perfect recall? HOW did I train him to go lay down while we have dinner? HOW did I kennel train him so well? HOW did I train him to stay close to home for outside/potty breaks without needing a leash on him? HOW did I train this high energy dog to wait so patiently for his food? HOW did I raise such an obedient dog etc etc....and sometimes when I watch him race from point A to point B in the house as if he has no walk setting, as if he thinks every little thing is a quarter mile sprint, I wonder how too. Because apparently these other people have great danes or similar dogs who are so wild and hyperactive they can't get through to them. A UK buddy of mine thought I should rehome him for a bit because it's apparently commonly known that danes are extremely hyperactive, but to his surprise, I found a way to manage the dog. So next time, when I say "From my experience, great danes are extremely active and are not the mellow lazy bones people think" don't insult me by stating the obvious in such a condescending manner. Me saying my dog is hard to handle does not mean I "can't" handle him. Yes, I 100% I prefer having a mellower, gentler dog, but that's mainly due to my autism where hyper dogs are too overstimulating for me, but I KNOW how to handle them. I didn't "bite off more than I can chew", I bit into an oatmeal cookie thinking it was chocolate chip cookie, but I'm ok with it because oatmeal has it's perks too. I didn't think "This will be easy, they're so lazy" like a dummy. Instead, I literally thought, "This 8 week old pup acts calm and cool now, but wait til he starts hitting those developmental markers as he grows...this is gonna be a mess. He's going to be potentially dangerous when he gets too big for me to handle, so I have a serious duty to specialize his training and train him as if he is already an adult, starting with never jumping up on people etc etc." It should go without saying that making basless assumptions has a way of making a fool out of the speaker.
@@The.Nasty. Oh, I know it. Your type think you know the full story of a person's life based off of two lines in 1 comment, but you wont actually read a fully detailed explanation. Typical.
My 10 month old lab would be so nuts if I didn’t walk him. He gets 1-2 walks per day & he plays with his 12 month old golden friend every day. He’s was a very timid puppy when I got him & the walks have helped him tremendously. I honestly think if I hadn’t walked him as a young puppy he would be an anxious mess.
This dog is a 3 out of 10 for wildness compared to my dog at that age, lol. I have quote a bit of experience with big energetic dogs but in this case brought in all the training/trainers I could get including a competitive police dog trainer. The only thing that truly fixed it was she that turned two and her brain switched on!
Exactly! I didn't think this dog was nutty at all. Just young, stupid, untrained and under exercised. (Well I suppose due to the above, yes you can call him nutty.) Mind you, if they hadn't got this help now, where do you think the poor dog would be in another 12 months...🤔
Key point here…”How do I get my dog to calm down and start to think?” It’s SO important for a dog to learn that they can’t do whatever the heck they want!
This is why I love shepherds. They just tend to look for their handlers naturally. It can get a little annoying sometimes because they look for you for almost everything
My parents have a great pyranese, Newfoundland and poodle mix, she wants to be friends with everything including the racoons and stray cats in my parents neighborhood. She is a very high energy dog but she's a very sweet and gentle dog and has been like this since my dad and step mom got her I mostly have her talk to stay with people when being walked and she does pull a little bit but for the most part she's not dragging you around when she's able to go outside for a good walk
My Doberman which came to me at the same age was nearly identical to this dog. A crazy mess. Un-neutered and cryptorchid, He had never been taught anything, didnt know any basic living skills, had glaucoma in one eye so partially blind, therefore was even more dangerous to people's safety at the end of the leash. Had zero recall unless you had a toy, but no malice whatsoever and frighteningly smart. Everything was learned with relative speed although 5 yrs later the leash is still a bit of an issue on walks. He has a tendency to see right through your objective so if I am working outside and i call him, instead of coming to me he will run to the house and sit down because if he comes to me I might lock him in the barn so as not to run him over with the tractor (which he chases). I didnt have him by choice and i love him to bits, but i am not sure i woild ever get another one on purpose. I dont know if its his breeding which is questionably BYB, but his neediness is incredibly exhausting.
Dobies are personal protection dogs. They like being beside you at all times. If you need a more aloof herding dog or farm dog, any collie or shepherd would do you good.
Could you explain where exactly you saw „dominance“ in that meeting? What are the signs you regognized? And where did you saw, that they will be fine? Would love so see you analyze the meeting, so i could better unterstand meetings. Thank you 👍🏽 great video
I thought the same. Prince put his paw on the other dog's back and left it there, I'd have said Prince was the more dominant, the other dog seemed confident rather than dominant. Would love to know the different signs.
Thanks for saying about the nutty dog I had a do like this and I failed him tbh and so did the trainer I tried. It gutted me and knocked my confidence. Had several dogs since and nothing like him.
This is my Bailey ! SuperSweet!!! but crazy , crazy, crazy!!! I don’t know how she would be with other dogs because she’s so crazy we just avoid any interaction
Omg that pup is so cute! Also, I need to learn this correction method for my puppy but is 6 months old too young? I see most of the dogs you work with on leash are closer to 1 year
I love when u explain the dog's thinking🐾❤️. These owners will definitely need a Gentle Leader head harness, right? Would love to see bonus footage of Prince & ¿Brummel? playing. It would be an easy vid🐾❤️🤗
My dog is very similar to him. I feel like he could be great with other dogs. But he hasn't met a lot if other dogs and he loves to play kinda ruff. I wish I could find someone with a super calm bomb proof big dog for him to meet first. I think he would be great if given the right dogs at the right time.
I didn't think he was that nutty, maybe a little Hdhd but with firm leader he's a great 🐶, tell owners to put gentle lead on him that would with pulling!! I am softie for Dobermans, I use to have one, what a great intelligence & great guard dog! I would have gotten another one but I would wanted male, I am older needed, hoping Bronte won't get any bigger!!!! I would to know what other breed he has in him, they need to find out, that might answer alot of questions!!!! Have a great day, sorry I went on about my Doberman Charlie Girl, when I see Prince, I miss her!!!!!
he looked at you cuz you set a boundary and he's realizing he has to check in with you as to what's ok and what isn't. most dogs trust their owners but they don't respect them. leash work builds respect.
My dog same his not agressieve yes his playful crazy my dog same as that one as big as him too I do learn a lot from your session. ..yes i have lots too To improve to my pet Thank you so much . No I have no problem when they are inside they are under control they listen ..my issue outside ..I can handle him outside but not with 2 both strong ..actually ever i adopted now female same race both grow up together they know each other ...the owner is too much for them due she get 7 puppies plus she did not treated proper She been hit always I see that ...but now she is very good girl much beter than my own dogs ..as you say that dog is crazy he too my male dog too yes his big as that dobberman ..i fall 5x times Just like horse carriage ..that time i dont know how to manage proper leash holding and paying looking attention. Now I know how. Thanks to you, and TH-cam i get learn lots.❤️👍
another great video. I have a 2 year old doberman mix and within the last few weeks I've been working with her using your method with the leash corrections but she will not budge when there is another dog. and unfortunately (this has happened 3 times) where unleashed/unsupervised dogs run off their property to us and I'm not sure how to handle that because she won't move or walk with me or listen to me when this happens and idk how she'll be/how these strange dogs will be it's a scary situation. haha I know this is a lot but if you have any tips for me I'd be appreciative 😅
I would suggest going back to the beginning-the Doorway Method. She has to graduate to the next step from inside your home before you even get to your door. Then begin the Loose Leash Method again, from step one all the way through. Watch the video...
Did they eventually neuter him? I REALLY hope so. Dobermans are super active dogs. I've lived with multiple Dobes for 4 decades now. After several back surgeries, I've had to add biking and treadmill exercise, but I still walk them as much as possible. People need to really UNDERSTAND the breed(s) of a dog BEFORE getting them. Most of mine have are rescues from people who where clueless about what they were taking on. The dogs suffer from that separation, especially Dobermans! This breed was specifically bred to live and always be there for their people. Their brain is blueprinted with it.
Joel, please tell me this gets better. This is similar to my Dobie, only no amount of corrections do anything to change her will. We go on multiple walks each day and I've been employing your methods since day one. We got her at 8 months and the people that surrendered her was an elderly couple that couldn't handle her. Pretty sure they gave her absolutely zero training and free to do whatever she wanted. We have tried all kinds of collars and harnesses and the only thing that works remotely is the herm sprenger. Corrections on a normal collar, she gives zero f's. Herm sprenger works but it's hard to keep her behind or even to the side of me. She's a walk ahead dog and I swear I pull her back to my side she doesn't even give a second and she's back in front. She also goes absolutely insane if she sees another dog, worse than when she sees a squirrel or small children. We haven't brought her around other dogs, because it looks like she would attack. I've been trying to work on getting her to calm herself down, but it's like nothing else exists except the thing she's fixated on. Basically is corrections shmorrections to her and she pulls, lunges and just tries to get whatever it is. I'm at a loss, man. Shes such a good dog at home aside from when the neighbors bring their dogs out and we are already outside. We have a fenced in back yard so I let her off leash when we play fetch. She loves it and normally all she will focus on is the stick. The other day we were playing and the neighbors came out with their puppy and she noticed and everything was fine at first, we were playing then all of a sudden she runs full force at the dog, jumps and body checks the fence. I'm glad she didn't make it over because idk what would have happened. I'm not sure what else u could do or do better..
This is just like my husky. He’s five years old and just freakin nuts. I have tried everything I can for years. E collar arrives tomorrow, last ditch effort before I just have to accept hes unchangeable ... following trainers guide on using it
I don't think you should use e collar, if your dog is just super active and excited like this doberman. You will end up giving him corrections just for being excited and energetic and you really might feck him up, becouse he wont understand why are these shocks coming and when they are coming. He may become fearful, more nervous, always alert and in the end even more unpredictable. E collars are good training accessory but only for certain instances and purposes. This is not one of them. Putting e collar on this doberman would be unnecessery and even hurtful for the mental health of this dog, becouse you will basically teach him: "if you get excited you will get a punishment". So please, dont harm your husky:). They are known to be goofy and very active, that is just their nature. You can't fix nature. Of course you can do obedience and stuff, but every dog is different so you must learn why your dog he is how he is. It might not be a not giving enough corrections thing. :-)
Don’t be using an e collar for just energetic active breed! Take running, or biking. Your going to screw your dog up! Most dogs are just under exercised anymore.
My puppy (5month) goes insane when another dog walks by. Yesterday, lady on a bycicle with dog - i take my puppy close to me, well my dog freaks out and throwing a tamper tantrum - the lady stops beside me and says "how are you treating that poor puppy?! you should be ashamed of yourself!" and left. I stood there, speachless. Maybe she never had a hyperactive puppy that wants to play with everybody that walks by. I was so sad and fed up about how i cannot manage this 10inch little monster, i cried on the way back to the car.. i try my best, but my puppy lets it look like i strangle her when i just try to make space for passengers to walk by! People, please don't judge so fast if you dont know the dog or the circumstances..
@@brittanybecker698 I completely agree! It happens too often and then the dogs suffer. I don't think it's simply laziness, as much as people seeking companionship. People haven't learned to take care of their own needs, though, so they don't even consider that they assume responsibility for the dogs needs as well; and a NEED is non-negotiable. It can be frustrating to see. A lot of my friends and ALL of my neighbors are like this.
What sort of age can I do this at, my 7 month old collie/German shepherd cross is good on lead and can follow instruction however when there is any distraction when out his brain goes haywire wanting to speak to every dog (he lays down when a dog approaches) and when walking in the opposite direction he constantly looks over his shoulder or he pulls to get to the other dog(s) and will not check in with me.
I have two dogs 5 months old Goldendoodle F1 Female she is very smart i taught her some basic commands she listens but she pulls a lot when walking and the other one is also Goldendoodle F1BB mostly poodle he's 4 months old he never listens only comes for food i tried so hard with him but never worked but good thing in him he walk good without pulling, What to do how to fix both dogs issue ? i'm not a trainer tho.
My dog is doing well on the leash until he sees a duck or another dog. What can I do to prevent him lunging/barking? He’s 75lbs and very strong. I just transitioned from head halter to collar and that’s the only issue I’m having. Thanks
Watch Joel's videos about getting through doorways. Lunging is fixed BEFORE the walk, not during when the dog is losing its crap. I had this with my dogs and Joel's methods work so well. Just go back and watch his videos it's all there. Good luck!! I get it! 💖
Go back to the halter. Use Joel´s doorway method, and the rest of his leash walking method. That includes not letting him smell, pee or poop unless you give the okay. If you follow it exactly as he shows, it´s over in a few weeks. If you lack conviction, and let him get away with smelling because "he´s still with me," (or "I don't want to be so mean") it will take more than a year. That´s from personal experience.
@@Flippokid I am going to try this with my dog as well. Having the same issue where the stop and go method works but lunging doesn't stop. I do let him smell and pee at his will so I will stop that from now. He keeps marking on our walks even when I don't let him pee he will just lift his leg up while we are walking to mark a little. I'll be more strict and see how that changes. Thanks you for sharing experience.
put a sliplead above the collar or right behind the ears* guys he wont pull as much(: that is one nutty dog though, so was mine at the shelter till your methods!
Hey Joel, could you do a video about hoing to a new place with a dog? i can't seem to manage these situations, and my otherwise not puller dog pulls my arm out an nearly chokes herself because she is so excited in a new environment.
Turn around. When she's good again, turn back around. I'll correct mine, and stop until he's good again, too. I've always started with small, quiet places, and worked them up to bigger/busier. Always did a lot of night training, too. It's quieter/calmer, but they get all the "space" and the smells.
Cut your dog off while walking to snap it's attention back to you (just turn into it and keep walking without even looking at your dog.) Walk with purpose and lead, cut them off if needed. They will quickly learn to look to you for where you're going/what you're doing.
Great video dude, i hope they listen to your great training advice. She don't even walk herself.... i'm gonna be that guy in the comment section lol. I hate pet owners that get a dog and don't put in any work and expect change, lazy dog owners. Shouldn't have gotten a dog if they aren't willing to give them more of their time IA... WALKS, leash training... they go home an sit on the couch and he runs around the house driving them nuts cuz they lazy and think he's a crazy dog.
I've recently noticed that my teckel tries to nip puppies,this the 2nd time it happens, which is very weird because he is a puppy himself (1yr),we don't know if he was adopted some months ago so we are not 100% about this history, he usually tries to nip them in the legs,ears and if i dont stop him the scruff, with smaller dogs he doesnt do this but big dogs who are puppies he does, is this normal?
I’ve done so much research I’ve had my Doberman for 8 months and he’s almost a year he’s so wonderful except he stands over his treats and waits for someone to grab it to attack but I can take his food and water when he’s eating and he does nothing can someone please help
I'm not much help but it sounds like he is resource guarding. Also, it doesn't sound like treats are something he should be given if it creates an issue. I hope you find the help you both need! Best wishes 💕
i had a daycare dog that was really crazy, she had to be the 1st dog in the room always or she starts fights 😱 owners admitted they keep her in a cage all day
This dog isn't nutty at all. Piece of cake. I adopted an abused Catahoula that has significant trust issues and extreme reactivity. This Doberman is so easy to manage. Owners are lazy. They never walk their dog because he pulls? Hmm. Chicken and egg problem. I hope they don't have kids.
My German shepherd has stopped pulling me, even when going passed other dogs from far away. However,when getting close enough to meet another dog he’s reactive. Does anyone know how this could be helped?
Watch Joel’s Doorway Method and the Loose Leash Walking videos. It all starts there. Remember you don't go to the next step until they have that down perfectly and graduate to go to that next step. Also, watch Fix All Your Dog’s Problems, Trust Me. 🌟
I’m always glad to hear a trainer stress the importance of walks
There is SO MUCH going on for a dog during walks. Exercise, interaction with the owner, understanding what's expected while on a leash, mental stimulation, new people/animals/situations to learn about--all kinds of stuff, and it's all important.
I have a friend who used to think that walks were just about exercise and pottying. He thought letting the dogs out in the yard to play together and do their business was enough, and then wondered why it was so hard to manage them on a leash when they needed to go to the vet. It was all because he didn't have them on a leash regularly enough to learn how to behave! His Dane mix was apparently deactivated by the leash--she'd just flop to the ground and act like she was paralyzed, and would have to be carried (with her very long Dane legs dangling all over the place). His black Labrador, who's absurdly huge for a female Lab, would turn into an anchor and darn near needed a winch to move. His third dog, pit/lab cross who's insanely strong, had no idea the leash was there or had any functional purpose, and would fly off in wild excitement, dragging anyone holding the leash like a kite. It took a lot of work to get them all to understand what they were supposed to do on the leash, but now the walks are fun and pleasant for everyone involved.
In one episode, Josh said walks are not just for getting your dog some exercise, but are also training sessions. Walking provides an opportunity to be used for working on various issues by giving corrections.
“You gotta be honest with me, do you walk him?” 😂
she gotta do more walking forsure… with or without the dog😂
Joel: thanks for another video masterpiece! I am so tired of “it’s all the owner’s fault” ….. very refreshing to hear you say “he is just a nutty dog and the owners have dealt with it the best they could”.
Most cases its owners fault, but like ppl are different so are dogs, some people can be better persons with a lil help some with more…. Same with dogs, not all owners are equipped with same level of knowledge
Still not the owners "fault", as there isn't always a fault needed to be found! They said this dog is one, hasn't given much time to do proper training and here they are now with Joel.if it's a nutty dog they are doing whats best for it where they are, no fault found.
@@mistyl1987 the owners have stopped walking him because he pulls - there's a fault right there
@@mildredhighcock7333 they took him where he could get the proper help and learn. Even when people do the right thing some other peoples will judge. There is no shame in this. Your opinion might be what it is, but doesn't make it correct. Just sayin.
It's obviously not all the owner's fault, but I can't help but wonder while watching these videos, why would a (quite obviously) not very active person get a doberman mix, a pitbull, a husky mix, anything like that and then not even walk them regularly? Where I live not walking your dog is considered animal cruelty. Most people I know with dogs walk them 2-3 times a day in addition to other exercise. It just seems to me that a lot of people aren't aware of the kind of work it takes to properly stimulate and exercise a dog like that and then can't keep up with up them.
Awww. That Dobie mix was such a good boy. Loved the immediate respect and play bow he gave to Prince. His bark even said " Hey dude, let's play"!
I think a big problem is that a lot of people completely underestimate just how much their dog needs exercise. We had two cocker spaniels for our very first dogs and we tried our best to make sure we walked them as much as recommended, which for that breed was 1-2 times a day. They actually needed about 3-5 per day to get all the energy out, and they were off the leash in woodlands and fields so they probably went for 10 miles per walk.
Joel is just being nice. In reality there’s almost always fault when it comes to dog behavior. THIS IS NOT JUST A NUTTY DOG and Joel knows it.
These people are not treating their dogs appropriately. He’s an untrained, undisciplined, intact one year old Doberman mix that doesn’t even get walked for Gods sake IT’S 💯 THE OWNERS FAULT.
People that get working dogs like Dobermans, Malinios, hounds, Shepards, border collies, huskies, rots, etc and expect them to be at-home family dogs are fkkn irresponsible, uneducated and ignorant people. They really should be ashamed for neglecting their animals needs. These breeds ARE WORKING DOGS.
They REQUIRE a shit ton of mental stimulation, exercise and love to be working not just playing but training and having a job. THEY ARE NOT JUST SEDENTARY FAMILY DOGS FOR PROTECTING YOUR HOME.
The beauty of this channel is that we are seeing Joel's method unfold before our very eyes and ears in real time with no editing.
Thank you for your honesty!
The importance of intact males having a pissing match is seriously understated. Prince, and the young dobe, immediately knew which was the alpha, and all the tension disappeared. They knew how to play, and interact, immediately after.
If u have an intact dog its very beneficial to have a tree or something dogs like to mark whenever u meet a new dog
Great video! And thx to to those owners for a natural tail and ears on their dog!!!!
I have two Rottermans and I so needed this video. Thank you for sharing!
🤗 🙏 ❤️
even with training.. that dog is too much for it's owners.. this dog needs owners that live an active lifestyle, he's strong and full of energy. The owners should've just gotten a small lap dog like a Yorkie. lol
I find my Dobie runs well next to a bike. There are lots of alternatives to give dogs exercise. Try not to judge people as much.
@@bradg3906 You can tell they are not walking their dog, can you not? People who are not planning on being active (do not like to go for walks), should get small breeds only. I totally agree with J R. G.
@@marias5088 Not a *yorkie* though!?!
Seriously, they *DO NOT* stop. You think this doberman mix has energy?
I've seen 16 to 20 year old yorkies with like TWICE this energy level... They will act like this no matter what you do.
What's next? You suggest an Italian Greyhound or a Jack Russel Terrier? The mix of the two?
Small does not equal low energy dog.
Really the only good dog for a "no energy" house is either a severely disabled dog, a pug (same as the first option really), a mellow ex-service dog who was disqualified only for health reasons, a retired service dog looking for a new home, or a mellow low-energy elderly dog. All dogs should be heavily screened and avoided if they show any inate signs of anxiety or aggression.
(The ex-service animals should be allowed to assist the couple with household chores. They will basically become in-home support dogs, which is a dream come true for most retired service animals.)
@@marias5088 I absolutely hate this mentality... Walks aren't the only form of physical exercise a dog can get. You can take the dog to a park and throw a ball. You can get a treadmill and walk them on that. You can teach them how to do professional dog sports. You can take them to a dog park. There are so many other options besides just boring ass walks wtf
This couple care enough about their dog to take it to daycare and to consult a professional in order to get a handle on the situation. Clearly, they want to make this work. As someone else pointed out, there are many ways to exercise a dog. I applaud their commitment.
Glad to see a Doberman that has complete ears and tail. It is so wrong to cut the ears and tail!
What a wonderful dog. So interested, so happy and clearly a kind dog.
Dobermen are so easy to train because they are so smart, so loyal, so energetic and so kind.
I am glad these people found you since they clearly have NO concept of how to be an animal care giver ,
New to your channel and LOVING it! I’ve binge watched a bunch of your videos and have learned more than ever. One of my favorite things about you is the grace you extend to your clients. It’s rare and greatly appreciated.
I also love how balanced you are with your training style. I am so over “positive reinforcement” for everything. There is a place for it, but it is not the answer for everything. Thank you.
Oh yes! This is exactly me hahaha. I just found him today and I learned so much and now im binge walking 😆
*Edit Binge watching!! Hahaha
i would love the layout of the puppy yard. it's beautiful and my 3 dobermans need this !
Our weim was the crazy, nutty dog for many years. He was intact and never met a dog he didn’t like, however some dogs couldn’t handle his confident, crazy, nature. He simmered down around 8 years old! I walked him twice a day for 90 minutes and played ball, he just was crazy energetic! After my babies were born, I had to show him very little attention because touch or talk got him to a 10. He is more manageable now at 14 years and I even noticed some people commenting on how well he walks with a loose leash - it made me feel great but at the time I wish they knew how much time and perseverance went into that moment. I cannot give up on him even at 14, I’m always keeping him in line and making sure he is with me and not leaving. Nice video!
He does know how much time and perseverance went into it. That’s why he’s your buddy and walks by your side. Couldn’t find anything else as grateful.
I had a Vizsla that was just like your dog many years ago, except he was neutered and not dominant. Don't forget we have/ had gundogs and they're working breeds. You have to put the work in to get the results you want/ need. But it's all worth it in the long run.
“Walking your dog is a good thing” 😂 I just can’t. I am sorry but I am so tired of the amount of dog owners that don’t walk their dog. Where I live it is illegal to not walk your dog at least once a day even if it has a backyard etc. Even so people don’t..
Yeah it's disgusting how many people don't walk their dog and then complain about behavioural problems :/ a friend of mine has a husky (intact) doesn't walk him, complain he pees on stuff, destroys things, escapes, but he doesn't walk him, just let's him out in the garden and that's it, I've told him time and time again he needs vigorous exercise and he is adamant it won't work 😑
I get disgusted and shocked when I hear that. These people have an active, strong dog that's full of energy. These people should have gotten a bulldog or or toy dog.
@@Kira-kg4kl 😩it’s so common, my heart goes out to dogs that don’t get what they need!
@@dannyh5937 even my 13-14 pound dogs are a handful. If they got to choose they would go for hikes several times a day, I have a hard time keeping up with their energy some days! :)
@@idarahmqvist1373 I bet, they're animals. They need to be outside. I understand everyone is different with varying amounts of athletic abilities and if you can run, hike or walk at a fast pace that's the best. I've been with dogs that can walk for hours, get home and they're ready to go out again. But not even walk a dog? Cmon, why have it? By getting a dog you essentially sign an imaginary contract that you'll walk it daily.
I was composing and for a break, I came to TH-cam then I saw your video. very inspiring and amazing for me. thanks a lot my friend🙏🌹🙏
If talking about how good you are at training helps the dogs, then you're the best!
Another great video. That's all I can say. Always great videos from Joel.
Thanks for a great video. Very similar to my dog. She's very friendly and sweet. But really wild and excitable.
I love how you do your intro Joel with just you speaking & the video playing. I feel as if everyone that brings their dog to you wants to hear "Prince likes him or her" lol
Note:
1`. Correction "from the side" does not hurt the dog.
Immediate loose leash after the correction.
3. Consistency.
Ahaha he's not aggressive he's just crazy lmao crazy boy 🤣
Oh my gosh, that dobie is GORGEOUS!
My great dane is pretty wild, which was hard for me to wrap my head around because I was always told danes are mellow/lazy. THEY'RE NOT. Idk why people think this. I wish leash corrections would work on him, but he is just too big and strong. Nothing phases him. These people are fortunate the leash corrections can actually help them, lol.
It should go without saying that all dogs of the same breed are not the same temperaments or energy levels and if you get a “giant” breed you should be doing this training at a young age to avoid those hard fights later on.
I’ve owned a Dane, Mastiff, and 2 Pyrenees/Mastiff siblings.
Bit off more than you can chew, can’t get a dog that size expecting “this will be easy they’re so lazy”
@@The.Nasty. Yeah, I seriously doubt our research gave us the full truth about danes. We searched many many sources, and they mainly gave praises to the dane's gentle giantness, youtubers dedicating their channels to their knowledge and personal experience with danes while their dog sits quietly and calmly next to them, some sources even suggesting they can be good apartment dogs, but I'm fully and thoroughly convinced we somehow managed to find only outliers in our research. Shame on us for using Google. After my bf got our dane, and even with awesome training (been training dogs all my life, you're preaching to the choir. I'm extremely aware and well versed in how divergent personalities can be within breeds, which is why I am not totally surprised Loki acts like a cattle dog on stilts, I'm disappointment in the mass misinformation about the breed.) Same thing happens with greyhounds. People keep emphasizing the "40mph couch potato" bit, but neglect to warn people how much exercise they actually need, and how potentially aggressive they can be. Heard and seen many horror stories of bad encounters between greyhounds and other dogs and animals.
Granted, this is my first real great dane experience, what we expected was a terrible twos level puppy stage. We didn't go into this thinking, “this will be easy they’re so lazy” as you condescendingly put it. We were aware that as soon as he hit his teenage stage, he would be a nightmare puppy for essentially the next 3 years. We braced and readied for that impact, and I poured my heart, soul, and entire being into his training, so much so that my bf couldn't help but to become a bit of a natural at dog training himself. What I realized is that Loki is so well bred(Yes, WELL bred), it's as if he was intended to actually be put to work as a dedicated hunting dog. Great danes were originally bred to hunt BOAR of all things, which meant they had to have the fearlessless, agility, and tenacity to get the job done. Boar are no joke, it takes one hell of a dog to take one on. What I see in Loki is a dog who needs every day to be dedicated to only him and a job for him to do. This dog is born to work, as his ancestry suggests. What I derive from that is a similar phenomena to what's been the situation with pitbull terriers. People are so desperate to push a "nanny dog" narrative that they completely neglect any sort of acknowledgment and respect for the breed's FULL history, and the incredible power behind the dog, so unsuspecting people go out and get a pitbull based on a faulty narrative, then the next thing you know, the most common breed dropped off at shelters are pitbulls and the most commonly seen breed in dog attack videos are pitbulls, because the owners were in over their heads and didn't realize it. They are hurting the breed by promoting a romantic mass delusion.
I'm totally fine with taking some responsibility just because I'm not as intimately familiar with giant molosser breeds as I am with generally any other breed, it has been a learning experience, but I am not omnipotent. As an autistic person who has always hyperfocused on dogs since I could barely walk, I am extremely flexible and quick to learn when it comes to dogs (I literally used to run on my fours and try to be a dog ALL the time when I was a kid), so I didn't mind welcoming the experience, so I did not "bite off more than I can chew", I merely did not receive the type of dog I asked for, which happens from time to time, and I still wholely welcome and accept them. You can't infer based off of two lines of text under a youtube video that I'm some poor dumb fool who can't handle her own dog. Always amuses me how those who aren't living under my roof seem to have all access to knowledge about my life suddenly.
At this point in time, Loki has shown such fantastic results of the training I poured into him that I have people come up to me asking HOW it's possible, HOW did I train him to have such perfect recall? HOW did I train him to go lay down while we have dinner? HOW did I kennel train him so well? HOW did I train him to stay close to home for outside/potty breaks without needing a leash on him? HOW did I train this high energy dog to wait so patiently for his food? HOW did I raise such an obedient dog etc etc....and sometimes when I watch him race from point A to point B in the house as if he has no walk setting, as if he thinks every little thing is a quarter mile sprint, I wonder how too. Because apparently these other people have great danes or similar dogs who are so wild and hyperactive they can't get through to them. A UK buddy of mine thought I should rehome him for a bit because it's apparently commonly known that danes are extremely hyperactive, but to his surprise, I found a way to manage the dog. So next time, when I say "From my experience, great danes are extremely active and are not the mellow lazy bones people think" don't insult me by stating the obvious in such a condescending manner. Me saying my dog is hard to handle does not mean I "can't" handle him. Yes, I 100% I prefer having a mellower, gentler dog, but that's mainly due to my autism where hyper dogs are too overstimulating for me, but I KNOW how to handle them. I didn't "bite off more than I can chew", I bit into an oatmeal cookie thinking it was chocolate chip cookie, but I'm ok with it because oatmeal has it's perks too. I didn't think "This will be easy, they're so lazy" like a dummy. Instead, I literally thought, "This 8 week old pup acts calm and cool now, but wait til he starts hitting those developmental markers as he grows...this is gonna be a mess. He's going to be potentially dangerous when he gets too big for me to handle, so I have a serious duty to specialize his training and train him as if he is already an adult, starting with never jumping up on people etc etc."
It should go without saying that making basless assumptions has a way of making a fool out of the speaker.
@@SGKeiana there’s no way I’m reading all that, I’m sorry. 😂
@@The.Nasty. Oh, I know it. Your type think you know the full story of a person's life based off of two lines in 1 comment, but you wont actually read a fully detailed explanation. Typical.
@@SGKeiana I said you bit off more than you can chew…
That’s a far stretch from the full story of your life, stop being dramatic.
I want to come visit this place just so I can pet Prince and throw a ball with him. He’s so beautiful and he’s such a good boy!
My 10 month old lab would be so nuts if I didn’t walk him. He gets 1-2 walks per day & he plays with his 12 month old golden friend every day. He’s was a very timid puppy when I got him & the walks have helped him tremendously. I honestly think if I hadn’t walked him as a young puppy he would be an anxious mess.
Exercise is essential for a dog's health. Same for humans 💕
@@crownofhair 100% & thanks to Joel, my pup is an excellent walker 🙂
@@kaysay87 that is great! It makes everyone's lives happier that way 🥰
@@crownofhair most definitely 🙂
This dog is a 3 out of 10 for wildness compared to my dog at that age, lol. I have quote a bit of experience with big energetic dogs but in this case brought in all the training/trainers I could get including a competitive police dog trainer. The only thing that truly fixed it was she that turned two and her brain switched on!
Same
Exactly! I didn't think this dog was nutty at all. Just young, stupid, untrained and under exercised. (Well I suppose due to the above, yes you can call him nutty.) Mind you, if they hadn't got this help now, where do you think the poor dog would be in another 12 months...🤔
Key point here…”How do I get my dog to calm down and start to think?” It’s SO important for a dog to learn that they can’t do whatever the heck they want!
Yippie! Been missing my Prince 💙♥️💚
Great. Now I'm going to watch it again. Thanks!
Thank you
I'm just here to say: I love dobermans
This is why I love shepherds. They just tend to look for their handlers naturally. It can get a little annoying sometimes because they look for you for almost everything
Wonderful dog and amazing video.
Great video, thank you! Was there a follow up? How is he and the owners doing? Would really appreciate if you could keep us informed :)
“Tried some walks………. I think”😂🤣🤣🤣
That's awesome getting him to focus on you
I would have loved just to watch them playing. What a lovely sight.
My parents have a great pyranese, Newfoundland and poodle mix, she wants to be friends with everything including the racoons and stray cats in my parents neighborhood. She is a very high energy dog but she's a very sweet and gentle dog and has been like this since my dad and step mom got her I mostly have her talk to stay with people when being walked and she does pull a little bit but for the most part she's not dragging you around when she's able to go outside for a good walk
My Doberman which came to me at the same age was nearly identical to this dog. A crazy mess. Un-neutered and cryptorchid, He had never been taught anything, didnt know any basic living skills, had glaucoma in one eye so partially blind, therefore was even more dangerous to people's safety at the end of the leash. Had zero recall unless you had a toy, but no malice whatsoever and frighteningly smart. Everything was learned with relative speed although 5 yrs later the leash is still a bit of an issue on walks. He has a tendency to see right through your objective so if I am working outside and i call him, instead of coming to me he will run to the house and sit down because if he comes to me I might lock him in the barn so as not to run him over with the tractor (which he chases). I didnt have him by choice and i love him to bits, but i am not sure i woild ever get another one on purpose. I dont know if its his breeding which is questionably BYB, but his neediness is incredibly exhausting.
Dobies are personal protection dogs. They like being beside you at all times. If you need a more aloof herding dog or farm dog, any collie or shepherd would do you good.
Aww, he's got the same thick tail my Kaiser has. ❤
Wish we could have seen them play and if Prince had to do any corrections. Awesome video as always though!
What a cool dog, reminds me of my Rottweiler-Dobermann mix I used to have
What a good looking dog! The first thing I thought was " He's a wild colonial boy!!" Lol
I love this doggo 😍
Could you explain where exactly you saw „dominance“ in that meeting? What are the signs you regognized? And where did you saw, that they will be fine? Would love so see you analyze the meeting, so i could better unterstand meetings. Thank you 👍🏽 great video
I thought the same. Prince put his paw on the other dog's back and left it there, I'd have said Prince was the more dominant, the other dog seemed confident rather than dominant. Would love to know the different signs.
Yeah I rewatched it, I think your right, I misspoke, he was not dominant in his meeting of prince. Not sure why I said that.
@@sportysbusiness I think you were spot on. I saw the same.
Thanks for saying about the nutty dog I had a do like this and I failed him tbh and so did the trainer I tried. It gutted me and knocked my confidence. Had several dogs since and nothing like him.
This is my Bailey ! SuperSweet!!! but crazy , crazy, crazy!!! I don’t know how she would be with other dogs because she’s so crazy we just avoid any interaction
Hi, Just a thought, do you or any of your subscribers watch the Asher House? I just love watching how well some of the rescue dogs turn out 😍

With a little guidance, that can be a very good dog. You can tell he's smart.
Omg that pup is so cute! Also, I need to learn this correction method for my puppy but is 6 months old too young? I see most of the dogs you work with on leash are closer to 1 year
srsly prince is the most beautiful dobermann i ever saw
I really need to pay attention to this 💯
I love when u explain the dog's thinking🐾❤️. These owners will definitely need a Gentle Leader head harness, right? Would love to see bonus footage of Prince & ¿Brummel? playing. It would be an easy vid🐾❤️🤗
My dog is very similar to him. I feel like he could be great with other dogs. But he hasn't met a lot if other dogs and he loves to play kinda ruff. I wish I could find someone with a super calm bomb proof big dog for him to meet first. I think he would be great if given the right dogs at the right time.
I didn't think he was that nutty, maybe a little Hdhd but with firm leader he's a great 🐶, tell owners to put gentle lead on him that would with pulling!! I am softie for Dobermans, I use to have one, what a great intelligence & great guard dog! I would have gotten another one but I would wanted male, I am older needed, hoping Bronte won't get any bigger!!!! I would to know what other breed he has in him, they need to find out, that might answer alot of questions!!!! Have a great day, sorry I went on about my Doberman Charlie Girl, when I see Prince, I miss her!!!!!
This is another level.
Thoughts on using a prong collar for training
If hes a dobie rottie mix he probably has that rottie ADD mixed with the dobie nervous energy which could totally make a dog kindu nutty.
I would like to know your stance on shock collars would you ever consider using them or is this method overkill?
What do you think is the thinking of a neutered dog when he meets an unneutered dog? Please explain.
he looked at you cuz you set a boundary and he's realizing he has to check in with you as to what's ok and what isn't. most dogs trust their owners but they don't respect them. leash work builds respect.
Thanks for this video from the owner of a soon to be 1 yr old nutty chocolate lab.
Walking a dog is essential!! No point having them if you're not going to put the work in. It's not fair.
My dog same his not agressieve yes his playful crazy my dog same as that one as big as him too
I do learn a lot from your session. ..yes i have lots too
To improve to my pet
Thank you so much .
No I have no problem when they are inside they are under control they listen ..my issue outside ..I can handle him outside but not with 2 both strong ..actually ever i adopted now female same race both grow up together they know each other ...the owner is too much for them due she get 7 puppies plus she did not treated proper
She been hit always I see that ...but now she is very good girl much beter than my own dogs ..as you say that dog is crazy he too my male dog too yes his big as that dobberman ..i fall 5x times Just like horse carriage ..that time i dont know how to manage proper leash holding and paying looking attention. Now I know how. Thanks to you, and TH-cam i get learn lots.❤️👍
another great video. I have a 2 year old doberman mix and within the last few weeks I've been working with her using your method with the leash corrections but she will not budge when there is another dog. and unfortunately (this has happened 3 times) where unleashed/unsupervised dogs run off their property to us and I'm not sure how to handle that because she won't move or walk with me or listen to me when this happens and idk how she'll be/how these strange dogs will be it's a scary situation. haha I know this is a lot but if you have any tips for me I'd be appreciative 😅
I would suggest going back to the beginning-the Doorway Method. She has to graduate to the next step from inside your home before you even get to your door. Then begin the Loose Leash Method again, from step one all the way through. Watch the video...
@@User7688.--_ yeah I've been doing the doorway method, but I will keep practicing of course. thanks 👍
Did they eventually neuter him? I REALLY hope so. Dobermans are super active dogs. I've lived with multiple Dobes for 4 decades now. After several back surgeries, I've had to add biking and treadmill exercise, but I still walk them as much as possible. People need to really UNDERSTAND the breed(s) of a dog BEFORE getting them. Most of mine have are rescues from people who where clueless about what they were taking on. The dogs suffer from that separation, especially Dobermans! This breed was specifically bred to live and always be there for their people. Their brain is blueprinted with it.
They need to walk the dog. How do you even really bond in the way dogs understand bonding without doing active things with them.
Joel, please tell me this gets better. This is similar to my Dobie, only no amount of corrections do anything to change her will. We go on multiple walks each day and I've been employing your methods since day one. We got her at 8 months and the people that surrendered her was an elderly couple that couldn't handle her. Pretty sure they gave her absolutely zero training and free to do whatever she wanted. We have tried all kinds of collars and harnesses and the only thing that works remotely is the herm sprenger.
Corrections on a normal collar, she gives zero f's. Herm sprenger works but it's hard to keep her behind or even to the side of me. She's a walk ahead dog and I swear I pull her back to my side she doesn't even give a second and she's back in front.
She also goes absolutely insane if she sees another dog, worse than when she sees a squirrel or small children. We haven't brought her around other dogs, because it looks like she would attack. I've been trying to work on getting her to calm herself down, but it's like nothing else exists except the thing she's fixated on. Basically is corrections shmorrections to her and she pulls, lunges and just tries to get whatever it is. I'm at a loss, man. Shes such a good dog at home aside from when the neighbors bring their dogs out and we are already outside. We have a fenced in back yard so I let her off leash when we play fetch. She loves it and normally all she will focus on is the stick. The other day we were playing and the neighbors came out with their puppy and she noticed and everything was fine at first, we were playing then all of a sudden she runs full force at the dog, jumps and body checks the fence. I'm glad she didn't make it over because idk what would have happened. I'm not sure what else u could do or do better..
This is just like my husky. He’s five years old and just freakin nuts. I have tried everything I can for years. E collar arrives tomorrow, last ditch effort before I just have to accept hes unchangeable ... following trainers guide on using it
Hey let me know how that goes for you
I don't think you should use e collar, if your dog is just super active and excited like this doberman. You will end up giving him corrections just for being excited and energetic and you really might feck him up, becouse he wont understand why are these shocks coming and when they are coming. He may become fearful, more nervous, always alert and in the end even more unpredictable. E collars are good training accessory but only for certain instances and purposes. This is not one of them. Putting e collar on this doberman would be unnecessery and even hurtful for the mental health of this dog, becouse you will basically teach him: "if you get excited you will get a punishment". So please, dont harm your husky:). They are known to be goofy and very active, that is just their nature. You can't fix nature. Of course you can do obedience and stuff, but every dog is different so you must learn why your dog he is how he is. It might not be a not giving enough corrections thing. :-)
Don’t be using an e collar for just energetic active breed! Take running, or biking. Your going to screw your dog up! Most dogs are just under exercised anymore.
I was surprised with the leash taut, when he was close to the other dog, he didn't try to be aggressive
My puppy (5month) goes insane when another dog walks by. Yesterday, lady on a bycicle with dog - i take my puppy close to me, well my dog freaks out and throwing a tamper tantrum - the lady stops beside me and says "how are you treating that poor puppy?! you should be ashamed of yourself!" and left. I stood there, speachless. Maybe she never had a hyperactive puppy that wants to play with everybody that walks by. I was so sad and fed up about how i cannot manage this 10inch little monster, i cried on the way back to the car.. i try my best, but my puppy lets it look like i strangle her when i just try to make space for passengers to walk by! People, please don't judge so fast if you dont know the dog or the circumstances..
How can you get yourself a dog and dont ever walk him?
Lazy people should not working own breeds
Sadly, the majority of dog owners I know NEVER walk their dogs.
@@brittanybecker698 I completely agree! It happens too often and then the dogs suffer. I don't think it's simply laziness, as much as people seeking companionship. People haven't learned to take care of their own needs, though, so they don't even consider that they assume responsibility for the dogs needs as well; and a NEED is non-negotiable. It can be frustrating to see. A lot of my friends and ALL of my neighbors are like this.
Is there a video that we can watch these two playing? :D
I have a complete nutty 1yr old pug. He doesn’t care for any leash correction though.
Or German Pinscher. Seeing a lot left tail wags when leash is tight and sees Prince.
What sort of age can I do this at, my 7 month old collie/German shepherd cross is good on lead and can follow instruction however when there is any distraction when out his brain goes haywire wanting to speak to every dog (he lays down when a dog approaches) and when walking in the opposite direction he constantly looks over his shoulder or he pulls to get to the other dog(s) and will not check in with me.
Wondering if the volume could be turned up somehow? Have my computer on max but can barely hear the couple talking.
I have two dogs 5 months old Goldendoodle F1 Female she is very smart i taught her some basic commands she listens but she pulls a lot when walking and the other one is also Goldendoodle F1BB mostly poodle he's 4 months old he never listens only comes for food i tried so hard with him but never worked but good thing in him he walk good without pulling, What to do how to fix both dogs issue ? i'm not a trainer tho.
My dog is doing well on the leash until he sees a duck or another dog. What can I do to prevent him lunging/barking? He’s 75lbs and very strong. I just transitioned from head halter to collar and that’s the only issue I’m having. Thanks
same issue. in addition, he's not that great when walked by others. kids and wife are not "alpha" personalities.
Me too!!! Same problem
Watch Joel's videos about getting through doorways. Lunging is fixed BEFORE the walk, not during when the dog is losing its crap. I had this with my dogs and Joel's methods work so well. Just go back and watch his videos it's all there. Good luck!! I get it! 💖
Go back to the halter. Use Joel´s doorway method, and the rest of his leash walking method. That includes not letting him smell, pee or poop unless you give the okay. If you follow it exactly as he shows, it´s over in a few weeks. If you lack conviction, and let him get away with smelling because "he´s still with me," (or "I don't want to be so mean") it will take more than a year. That´s from personal experience.
@@Flippokid I am going to try this with my dog as well. Having the same issue where the stop and go method works but lunging doesn't stop. I do let him smell and pee at his will so I will stop that from now. He keeps marking on our walks even when I don't let him pee he will just lift his leg up while we are walking to mark a little. I'll be more strict and see how that changes. Thanks you for sharing experience.
put a sliplead above the collar or right behind the ears* guys he wont pull as much(: that is one nutty dog though, so was mine at the shelter till your methods!
“We’re over it”
Reminds me of my Dobie Mix.
Hey Joel, could you do a video about hoing to a new place with a dog? i can't seem to manage these situations, and my otherwise not puller dog pulls my arm out an nearly chokes herself because she is so excited in a new environment.
Turn around. When she's good again, turn back around. I'll correct mine, and stop until he's good again, too. I've always started with small, quiet places, and worked them up to bigger/busier. Always did a lot of night training, too. It's quieter/calmer, but they get all the "space" and the smells.
Cut your dog off while walking to snap it's attention back to you (just turn into it and keep walking without even looking at your dog.) Walk with purpose and lead, cut them off if needed. They will quickly learn to look to you for where you're going/what you're doing.
Great video dude, i hope they listen to your great training advice.
She don't even walk herself.... i'm gonna be that guy in the comment section lol.
I hate pet owners that get a dog and don't put in any work and expect change, lazy dog owners. Shouldn't have gotten a dog if they aren't willing to give them more of their time IA... WALKS, leash training... they go home an sit on the couch and he runs around the house driving them nuts cuz they lazy and think he's a crazy dog.
I've recently noticed that my teckel tries to nip puppies,this the 2nd time it happens, which is very weird because he is a puppy himself (1yr),we don't know if he was adopted some months ago so we are not 100% about this history, he usually tries to nip them in the legs,ears and if i dont stop him the scruff, with smaller dogs he doesnt do this but big dogs who are puppies he does, is this normal?
I need to bring my dog to you. He has some bad habits that need to be worked on.
Do you use ecollars
(Looks at the owners and search for the words very carefuly). You got to be honest with me, do you walk the dog?
Good to see someone who hasn't mutilated their dog's tail.
I’ve done so much research I’ve had my Doberman for 8 months and he’s almost a year he’s so wonderful except he stands over his treats and waits for someone to grab it to attack but I can take his food and water when he’s eating and he does nothing can someone please help
I'm not much help but it sounds like he is resource guarding. Also, it doesn't sound like treats are something he should be given if it creates an issue. I hope you find the help you both need! Best wishes 💕
i had a daycare dog that was really crazy, she had to be the 1st dog in the room always or she starts fights 😱 owners admitted they keep her in a cage all day
Sad 😥
This dog isn't nutty at all. Piece of cake. I adopted an abused Catahoula that has significant trust issues and extreme reactivity. This Doberman is so easy to manage. Owners are lazy. They never walk their dog because he pulls? Hmm. Chicken and egg problem. I hope they don't have kids.
You need to mic your clients.
For sure
Hi Joel
My German shepherd has stopped pulling me, even when going passed other dogs from far away. However,when getting close enough to meet another dog he’s reactive. Does anyone know how this could be helped?
With the easy leader, give correction and walk away. Worked great with my golden. He's very calm meeting others on lead....off lead, he's deaf!🤷♂️
Watch Joel’s Doorway Method and the Loose Leash Walking videos. It all starts there. Remember you don't go to the next step until they have that down perfectly and graduate to go to that next step. Also, watch Fix All Your Dog’s Problems, Trust Me. 🌟
Watching the video and trying to figure out why Joel is tapping his chin at 3:30. Hmmm...
Okay but what’s going up with leash. It’s like a double and meets at the handle?
I think I figured it out, I think one suppose to go to the collar and the other one to a harness
