here in peru my dog has encountered many street dogs and he is the one correcting them lol. a lot of them have since become good friends with my dog. here owners are wary of other dog owners. the minute i tell them he is male they pull their dog away like mine has rabies even though their dog and mine were getting along fine. free roaming pet and street dogs or those who frequent parks off leash with their owners are the only ways he gets to actually play with and interact with a dog.
True, but the more i see and read im Really starting to wonder how these dogs are after a few months, mentally stable or traumatised ? (Im not bashing, im curious fr lol)
l'll never forget Rosa. A giant cane corso at a dog park who pinned my psycho exciteable aussie shepherd onto the ground and fixed all her jumping up at dogs and people issues in 2 pins. Love you Rosa.
I’ve seen mom dogs correct their puppies way worse than what Prince did! Prince was careful and easy with his correction, which was amazing to see! My Dobergirl came from a litter of twelve pups so the mom had her hands full, and when she corrected them, she wasn’t near as soft as Prince. She, of course, had mastitis so she was in a lot of pain and the pups were still nursing half of the time. Prince is a true warrior!!!
I was going to write the same thing. And older dogs correct increasingly harder as the pups get older. This experience with Prince and Pippa was what this pup needed and will likely need a few times for the puppy to learn it permanently.
I definitely don’t think Pippa likes him… she is basically screaming, “leave me alone!” With calming/cut off signals… look away’s, shifting weight away from the puppy, moving away from puppy, never moving towards the puppy, low tail wag, stiff/uncomfortable looking body language (not loose and bouncy) and when the puppy didn’t respond to her corrections, she hides behind the human (i.e. ‘help me please!’).
I have a dog like Prince too. I always tell owners to let their puppies bother my Lola. She will tell them correctly to stop. She’s such a great dog! She is very tolerant but one puppy wouldn’t stop humping EVERYONE.. it came for Lola and since she was bigger than the other dogs the owner tried to intervene. I told them let the puppy hump Lola.. and sure enough she gave a firm correction to this husky pup and the humping stopped immediately. 😂
Bull terrier owner here for 20 years. Prince was bluster without the harm, perfectly done. The little guy needs to be dominated by the big ones. I have a six year bitch with her 3 year old boy. She's sweet, but raised two good litters. She taught them after 10 weeks about alpha play. Bullies are tough, yet sensitive, and Prince was teaching subtle lessons that will teach the bully life lessons. Nice looking bully!
You wouldn’t happen to know how to keep an adolescent, 8-9 months old, intact male EBT from going after little older dogs that had its mother separated from him when he and his siblings were 5-6 weeks old and did not get early socialization due to what a vet said?
Prince is so daggum good at what he does! This was an excellent demonstration, what a truly perceptive read Joel 👏👏👏 This little guy's hormonal load is off the charts at only four months...seems to me 🤔 He's surely darn cute 🥰 So glad his people know what they know and don't 😅 Thanks for this, it's always enjoyable!
Nice. It reminds me of a video of a mare correcting her foal. He'd kicked her whilst messing around so she kicked him back. A few people were, "Aww poor baby, mean mum" but it was the best thing she could do. He had to learn to control himself and not be a tit.
I'm so beyond excited about you starting a trainers program! I have been working on becoming a trainer since last year and have followed you for over 2 years. If I am to learn from anyone you are definitely my first choice.
I rescued my dog when he was 6 months. After groundwork was done I only let him play with bigger dogs so he realised that he isn't the biggest, buffest dude around. Worked pretty well and a year later he is very friendly and gets along with pretty much any dog as long as they are friendly too plus he never really had a phase where he tried to hump anyone. Maybe tried it 3 times, got told off every time and that was it pretty much. A local fog trainer actually brought one of their clients dogs with her when my dog was in the park. The clients dog was a humper with 9 months old and tried that to my dog. I've never seen my dog correcting another young stud this heavy. And this dog was nearly twice his size. Well Schnauzers are known for beeing bold lol But this was the first time I was unsure if this was right, what my dog was doing But the trainer looked at me and said "No let him do this. The younger one is acting up. It's like a 15 year old comes into your house, clears the coffee table with his hands, putts his feet up there and demands a beer." It all went fine but took a solid 20 minutes or so until the 9 month old was calm and everything relaxed I've never seen my dog being this bold and fierce tbh But good to know he isn't the one who will be bullied even by bigger dogs
Your dog did a great favor to the 9 month old and the trainer was astute enough to let it go and probably noticed your dog's balanced personality. Your dog was taught by stronger dogs and now he's paying it forward as another good citizen. I hope you are proud!
@@someusername4129I am very much proud of him. My dog before him was highly reactive. I was always on guard and I guess seeing him "aggressive" like that triggert something in me and thats why the trainer told me everything is fine. We know each other for a while now and she is great. And yes it was about time that the little guy was thought some boundaries. The trainer told me he already got into trouble with another dog who had clearly showed him a boundary, he didn't listen and got bitten pretty bad in the private parts for it. It was nasty and luckily the owners realised that.
@@MichelleNyxRaymondi hope so too, but I am worried about the training being successful. The couple who owns him are too soft to him. The little guy jumped up at the guy and bit his sleeves in a very hard, demanding manner and when the trainer told him he has to firmly tell him no or stop, he just looked at his dog and said "I can't". I hope the will get the hang of it. This dog us 9 months old and already twice the size of my 1 1/2 yr old who is 45 cm and 12 kg (about 17 inch and 26 lbs). If they can't control him soon it will end badly.
I love this video - - you see the precision and restraint of Prince - - the Big Daddy using his teeth in a completely open mouth gesture rolling that puppet around - - no biting but big impression ! What a Master Leader. Hope that young Bull Terrier Gets Over Himself SOON !
Prince is just such a handsome and impeccably trained best dobie boi. And I love how you are a realist Joel, and you discuss the *reality* of these behaviors in the bully breeds. I think people are often sold on the idea that THEY can be the one special person to “fix” a certain dog. But the training is much harder than they realized. The puppy is very nervous and trying to figure things out but he’s already too pushy and fixated and prone to fixating (he fixes on Prince more than running around and exploring, which is what most puppies would do initially with that big beautiful yard) rather than having genuine fun and play bowing etc. He fixates on Prince, which as you said will become more and more sexual until they fix him or deal better with the behavior as it will def cause incidents, and he runs at Pippa’s face, which she did not like and communicated, and he runs for Prince’s butt and heels. Prince was exactly right to show him that “NO” - you don’t get to bite at my heels and constantly tag my butt. It’s rude kid.” A dog less smart and disciplined than Prince might have really stomped that pup down. Prince is a proud bachelor yet he handled it like a father of ten!! I have ridden and worked with horses for years Joel, and it is amazing to watch the many crossovers in thinking and training. As Rick the retired cop from Think like a Horse says nobody can train a foal up better than other older and wiser horses - as they exercise out in their paddock every day - smart mares that have seen it before and tough confident geldings that will NOT tolerate rude running up, nipping at heels or butts, humping attempts, ignoring boundaries, trying to steal food or treats, etc. An older gelding will give a rude colt a pop in the ribs with a well-timed kick that will hurt enough to remember but not cause permanent injury. Train early and often and avoid catastrophic vet bills and BE when you ruin your horse (infamous woman in a movie about the horse trainer Buck - she brought in a stallion for one training course and the horse was completely out of control and injured multiple people. Buck learned she had over a DOZEN intact stallions running around feral and without care in a giant pasture. Most of them were removed from her “care.” It was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen with horses). Thanks for the video! Love to see a beautiful dobie being his wise wizard self!!
I enjoy the commonalities between horses and dogs, too. Growing up, our house sort of became an unofficial rescue for random animals that people we knew couldn't take care of. Many of them were cherished, well-behaved family pets, but some of them had a darker side and had been through several families by the time they got to our place. Only one animal, a horse, was so dangerous that after several years of working with her, we were convinced that we couldn't do anything more for her and had to send her on. I think I love training videos so much because it makes me *SO HAPPY* to see people who care enough about their pet to put in the time and money to work with them so that everyone wins and a difficult creature doesn't have to keep being shuffled from place to place. I hadn't heard of the program you mentioned, but that many stallions loose together sounds horrifying. I don't think I could stomach watching it.
Wow, I can't believe you featured a puppy bull terrier! This is exactly why you're my favorite channel! I was so excited when they were the breed of the day on the Pod, but it's amazing to see more content on this breed. As a breeder for about a decade, I completely agree with the correction - this breed definitely needs a firm hand, and they bounce back quick without getting their feelings hurt. They're so eager to please! The idea of joining your mentoring program is really interesting - we definitely need more breeders who are trainers first.
We recently got a Blue Heeler puppy and he’s a bit feisty. We also have an 8 year old Australian Kelpie who is the sweetest dog ever. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s a bit anxious (we adopted her from a shelter and they had zero idea of her background) The 10 week old puppy was acting like this to our older dog and she put up with it and put up with it and finally she decided enough was enough and she did exactly what Prince does. She was gentle and didn’t hurt him but very firm. Now they play so nice together and I was so proud of her for teaching the pup in a way we can’t do as well as people. It was so cool to watch!
Love Prince! He is the GOAT! So gentle while still making his point! Those bullterriers are tough dogs, there will need to be many lessons! Great video!
I LOVE that your purpose is to teach the dogs to be good citizens in the dog world! It's wonderful that you've created a coaching program! I sometimes think you should do a video where you train the owner, for people who adopt adult dogs. Have the new owner come out, work with Prince at your direction (or maybe a big stuffed Prince toy on wheels lol). Maybe Prince would roll the thick-headed owners like me till we learned lol!
Your videos have helped me a lot when training my now one-year-old Pomeranian who was always fearful and aggressive toward other dogs. Now that I know how to introduce her safely and make leash corrections when needed she finally made her first ever dog friend!
Prince did a perfect correction!!! Great job by your trainer, too! One of my neighbors I helped several months ago with ur loose leash walking stopped me to ask more training questions and I reco'd your channel! He got his phone out right away and found it! Hurray!!! You're the best!!! 🐾❤️🙏🏽
dude, prince is absolutely incredible. if you rewind and really pay close attention to prince's correction, you can see that he's really not using his teeth at all on this puppy. right up until the end you can see him gently press his teeth down, as if to get the contact across with meaning, but without harm. the correction appears harsh due to how fast it happened, but it's amazing how prince goes easy on the terrier because he knows he's just a pup. if you see prince correct in his other videos, he will use appropriate on other neurotic adult dogs. what an amazingly intelligent animal he is.
I have fostered over 15 puppies over the years, most as young as 9 weeks old, and have always corrected my puppies from day 1. As an example, if they nip my hands i would say NO and hold their mouth firmly with my hand and give it a little shake. They are not traumatized by this, they see this as communication and after the second or third time, they learn to stop nipping. People need to stop thinking their puppies are delicate little china dolls. If you ever see how puppies correct each other or how Mother dogs correct their puppies you will realize you need to be firm, fair, and consistent and the puppies will thrive off of the direction and structure you give them.
This dog looks very confident. Carries his tail high almost the whole time. For the attempted mount, this puppy pushes the boundaries at 2:23 , maybe because Prince is lying down? Prince is looking away with ears a little pinned (looking to Joel) & the puppy raises his face to Prince & stands on Princes leg. Like a mini challenge. It looks like because Prince did nothing he moves onto mounting Prince. I could be totally wrong but that’s what I see. That correction from Prince displaced the puppy & rolled him round a little with puppy on his back & Princes face up against his & teeth on show. The puppy looked at Prince a bit different after that! Prince is such a good boy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
That was perfect. That was a mild alpha correction for a pup that i think actually didnt even know to get in submissive posture, which is what prince was also trying to show him or expecting. Think this pup might benefit from time with a pack with different age dogs to "learn his place" in a sense
Prince was that little guy's hero after the correction! LOL so adorable. He seems to appreciate the guidance. Obviously, he wants to learn to be a best boy.
Prince basically said that if he wanted to then he COULD hurt him and that others WOULD hurt him. Definitely something his littermates couldn't teach him.
I said it on Instagram, and will reiterate here… Prince is damn skilled! This is natural and appropriate dog communication… and the best thing for helping form this BT pup into an ambassador for the breed. 👏👏👏👏
We just had a guest with a 10 weeks old pumi puppy, and he was exactly like this to our 2,5 yo dog! Bite his bum and jumped on his side & hump already!! I saw my dog being slightly annoyed yet soooo freaking patient, & I told our friends that it shouldn't be allowed even if smol (this top notch pushiness) but of course everyone laughed it off "ohh comon hes a puppy"! My dog did show a few teeth just softly later hh, then being outside, both play-bowed, mine jumped over the little fella from all direction, not touching him, kiddo was not that brave boy anymore 😏
Thank you to the Beckman family including Prince for their exemplary commitment and consistency in developing innovative and extremely valuable techniques and methods that have helped owners and their pets achieve healthy and well balanced relationships. Our family is profoundy grateful!
I've been thinking that having some sort of academy for people to get certified with your training methods would be a great idea and here you've been planning a mentorship program! Great to hear about! This is going to make major changes in the entire dog world, globally. Yes, the earth is a sphere 😂
Omg. That puppy was so sad afterwards but I am so shocked by Princes INCREDIBLE self control because he handled that so well when he could have easily hurt the puppy. Wow. Great job raising him Joel!
Exactly. Nothing more fierce than a disgruntled mother when it comes to pups. What Prince did was very measured. He's a pro. Fantastic little Bull Terrier too. He's on his way to greatness now. Terriers never forget. Ever.
Is this program available to owners of difficult dogs who aren't actively working towards becoming professional dog trainers? The general public? Thank you so much for all the advice and methods that you have shared so freely with us through the years. We all appreciate it immensely, especially those who own large livestock guardians or protection dogs. Our dogs are better citizens of the world for it. Thank you Mr Beckman!
So big for his britches! Haha I think of how lots of animal moms and dads are exactly matching the energy level of the youngster's misbehavior. Animal parents raise perfect animals in their own society, humans make it hard. In a wolf pack, this puppy would have so much socializing to bring him to perfect citizen behavior.
When my dog was a pup, she used to irritate some older adult dogs on our walks, she had too much energy and was too much for their patience, so a couple of dogs put her in her place lol Great video Joel!! 😁👍
Well, now I don't want a puppy. Sheesh, major stinker that one was, to put it politely. 😆 Good boy, Prince! Great pride of ownership too. I loved how the owners didn't want anymore accidents and acknowledged the challenges of the breed. Starting them (dogs) young is truly the key.
Love it. Momma dogs do this all the time to their pups when they're acting outta line. It's the dog equivalent of learning good manners. Sometimes it looks like puppies were taken from the mom too young before they learned vital social skills
My pup, Bingo, used to be a bitey boy. My eldest girl, Twinkle is basically a grandmother to him. A very angry grandmother. Whenever he tried to bite she would put him in his place straight away. Fast forward a whole year! Bingo is the cutest lil gentleman I’ve ever seen! He responds well to commands. Still working on getting him off the couch though!
Joel's training is really good and Prince is awesome at helping train dogs. I will tell you that I've been around.a.couple.of bull.terrors and they can be wonderful dogs. They typically are affectionate, fun loving dogs, but they do need guidance and training. I think this is the perfect age to do it.
I think Prince has interacted with so many dogs that he has learned that it his job to teach these miscreants how to behave in the world. It's amazing the level of communication animals have. We miss so much!
I help train service dogs. I have an older semi-retired service dog. He helps with the little ones. And yes, he corrects the unwanted behaviour. Boy do the puppies get it. They learn respect quickly from a well balanced elder.
I LOVE HOW PRINCE WORKS, BECAUSE HE EXERCISES THE PRESSURE, JUST THE RIGHT FORCE TO HURT THE DOG'S BODY AS LESS AS POSSIBLE AND YET, EQUALLY, HE EXERCISES THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE FORCE, TO HURT THE DOG'S MIND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.... AMAZING ... YOU HAVE MY GREETINGS, MY LIKE AND MY RESPECTS
I’m not any sort of dog expert, just a curious bystander appreciating the channel, but this is what I questioned as well once I found out what that was. The two are definitely perpendicular, the puppy’s blocking him, and he looks pretty confident. Only reason why I did a double-take on the pre-mark was because I missed the puppy’s back legs moving: I only saw the front left leg lift up, so I was a little confused. Edit: Of course, not to say that Mr. Beckman doesn’t know any better-he clearly has more experience (at least way more than me), but if he didn’t think of this before, then I do think this is a great possibility to consider. :))
I wish more people understood this. We live in a city and have a fox terrier and a mixed breed the same size. We used to like to take them to the dog park a couple times a week to let them really run off leash. A daily walk is not really enough for an active breed like the fox terrier, and living in the city, we don't have a big yard to run in. Unfortunately, so many people got dogs and didn't socialize them during covid, we have had too many bad experiences and just quit going. Bigger poorly socialized dogs and terriers really don't mix well. My dogs would be giving clear back off signals (so clear I could read them 20 feet away) and the bigger dogs were just completely ignoring them and knocking them over until my dogs had enough and would do a correction. My little mama never actually bit, just sounded horrible snarling and would snap and bark and just be like that's it, back off, and if they didn't, I would intervene. But the fox terrier did the same thing every fox terrier our family's had has done in this situation. Snap snap snap, and if they don't back off immediately, he grabs them by the ear and won't let go till they lay down and show him they're calm. No time for me to intervene because he's like aw no, you're going down, while she was like I really don't want to fight so I'm going to keep telling you to back off, giving me time to get over there. The fox terrier is unfortunately very down for fighting, though he would definitely prefer to be left alone. It's just if they don't leave him alone, he's very game. Of course, this is our fault for having "agressive" dogs even though their dogs were very obviously ignoring very overt body language from our dogs that they don't like this "game." And being smaller, of course they are going to get madder over "little" things. It might be a little thing to have another 60lb dog jump on your back when you're also a 60lb dog, but it's not such a little thing when you're 1/3 or 1/4 the size of the dog jumping on you! That's like an adult man tackling a 7 year old! Not cool! It's sad because we used to have so much fun. My little girly had an oversized golden retriever buddy and a husky she would play chase with back and forth if one of them was there, and if there were hounds, the fox terrier would run and bark with them for an hour. And they're both great with puppies, as long as the owner is ok with them correcting bad behavior. More people used to be...
Great video. Thanks so much! Prince is so good, but wow, that cute little puppy seriously started some dangerous behaviors. Of course only Prince knows, but I'd say that climb maybe 55% possible hump, but that possible mark, I'd say 95%. P.S. suggestion for breed of the week: standard poodle
reminds me of when my dog was playing chase with an aussie shepherd. things went well until it tried to herd him. the owner tried to correct it but the dog didnt listen. the best correction was when my dog did a yelp then whipped around, stood his ground, and then barked and air snapped. the dog got the message and stopped and they both just sniffed eachother. my dog is part besenji so he loves running and chasing and being chased but wont hesitate to let a dog know when they are being too rough. he doesnt tollerate dispalys of dominance or flexing either.
My Mom used to breed German Shepherds and Corgis. The best teachers of manners for puppies is Mom and other older dogs. We would always let the puppies run in the back yard with the older dogs and they learned what to do and what not to do. By the way I've watched Bull Dogs at dog shows. One of the bull dogs in the ring jumped up and clamped onto the suit sleeve of the handler who was showing the dog. Once they clamp on they don't let go. Thankfully it didn't get any skin with the sleeve. Prince didn't hurt that puppy at all. Just rolled him a few times. Didn't let him get up. Good Prince.
There is this time you mentioned that prince love dogs and I can totally agree with I mean it's so clear from his eyes his body language they way he interact with this other dogs tells it. He I have never seen him try to dominate other dogs yet a bag of times he meets smaller dogs.
I love bull terriers so much-I have 2 right now. They are very forward moving dogs and can be highly annoying to other dogs. They are up in their face and often climb on top of them(even when they sleep they will lay directly on another dog's back). I'm not sure when or how the change happens that this behavior is no longer just a breed thing versus a dominant thing. I know when BT's play together with other BT's they will stand neck to neck in a stiff manner but then spin around while wagging their tails and do it again taking turns. They also "mouth wrestle" where they are play biting each other's mouth. It looks scary to people but it is definitely play behavior. I really think that this breed should play with all types of dogs while they are young(with an observant human) so they can learn that not all dogs play that rough. I think this young fellow is so gorgeous and it's good to get a little tamp down by a dog that isn't out to damage them. Prince did what the border collie tried to do with a little more pressure. The puppy wasn't cowering or hurt so it was a good lesson for him to settle down a bit. These little tank BT's need many reminders to be gentle and give space. Thank you for sharing!!
Do you believe in the concept of the “puppy pass” where the adults allow them to get away with way way more until they hit a certain age and then get corrected - is that BS? I’ve seen it with small small puppies but wasn’t sure in reality
I really hope people notice what a dog correcting another dog looks like. Yes their teeth are out. But that is simply how dogs feel and interact with the world. Dogs just like people have tolerances to. And this is how they communicate crossing the line without violence or barking. Prince correcting the puppy was good behavior. Now this puppy will learn there are limits and the puppy will be better for it. Just like teaching any child.
Young dogs, especially high energy young dogs, need corrections from balanced older dogs so they know how to fit into a pack (any pack structure) in a healthy way. This also goes for their handlers - they need to set firm but fair boundaries. Too many folks purchase a dog because they like the breed, not understanding the challenge this breed poses. Tough breed, you must be “on it” and aware of what that dog needs to be a canine good citizen. There’s actually a test for it that is worth looking into, especially for those who cannot train with Beckman directly. In Canada we call it Canine Good Neighbor. It clearly lays out the basic parameters of acceptable behavior.
"prince just rolled him around in a circle, essentially" honestly from a pure visual perspective the correction genuinely looks REALLY funny to me, that puppies fat little sausage body just rolling around omfg 😂
Ages ago my brother had a dog of a bully breed and he had been no issues playing (and telling off) several puppies, but a toy puppy went up to them on the street and behaved aggressively to which he immediately tried to push it down much like Prince here, and the leash broke (metal snapped). Some random stranger just saw a bully dog "attacking" and kicked him in the stomach so his jaws snapped. I have no idea what they even thought would come out of that. Not a happy ending. Although the police dropped all charges as my brother/his dogs had never before recieved a complaint and it was a freak accident that the metal part of a proper leather leash broke. Never had another problem either. But shows just how much people likes to jump in when dogs are behaving like dogs, making the situation worse because we think we need to protect them. That's exactly how you end up with dogs that can't behave around others.
I wish I could get my Presa to be less dog aggressive but it’s just in his blood with maturity.. I did decoy work with him for a few years and he did excellent building prey drive towards strangers but nothing towards other dogs really… Then once he hit about 2.5-3 years old his temperament towards all other dogs changed swiftly. Even with a muzzle on him I can’t take him to the dog park because he will just switch into prey drive out of nowhere and dominate whatever dog is around. Doesn’t matter the size. I keep him pretty trim too for a Presa so he is only about 125-130lbs but he has the head of a 200lbs dog and he is so strong.. Even with continuous socialization and training I don’t trust him around other dogs if I am not there. That IS in his nature and that is what you sit up for when you buy a Presa but I was hopeful that I could him to where I could pair him with a mate. It doesn’t always work out like that but it’s not his fault, that’s just the nature of the beast. He is still amazing with my 4 year old son and a great protector so that is really what I paid for, the rest is just wishful thinking.
My 4 y/o girl dog pulled this move on the neighbor's proud male puppy. Scared the blazes out of me and my neighbor, but the puppy was just surprised. Didn't really recognize what the dog was doing she didn't like (I think he was sniffing her behind at the time), but she pulled no punches. At the time, you feel awful, like your dog's been aggressive, and I was very apologetic, but I really think what she did was fine.
Would you recommend for this puppy in particular to be neutered as soon as possible so he won't evolve the behaviors that would become bothersome ? You talked a lot about this in THE pod, but every dog + it's owner is unique and i think we would all agree it would be beneficial to hear about this from you once again.
I have four dogs and one of my oldest dogs corrected my youngest dog when he was still a puppy and he still blank stupid games but he gets corrected every time he does so he learned his lesson now
Better to be corrected by Prince (a trained professional) than some random dog you encounter on the streets. Good video Joel!
I agree
Well said. Best way for them to learn!
here in peru my dog has encountered many street dogs and he is the one correcting them lol. a lot of them have since become good friends with my dog. here owners are wary of other dog owners. the minute i tell them he is male they pull their dog away like mine has rabies even though their dog and mine were getting along fine. free roaming pet and street dogs or those who frequent parks off leash with their owners are the only ways he gets to actually play with and interact with a dog.
True, but the more i see and read im Really starting to wonder how these dogs are after a few months, mentally stable or traumatised ?
(Im not bashing, im curious fr lol)
l'll never forget Rosa. A giant cane corso at a dog park who pinned my psycho exciteable aussie shepherd onto the ground and fixed all her jumping up at dogs and people issues in 2 pins.
Love you Rosa.
Be sure Rosa's owner remembers that one too whenever he thinks how great a dog she was 😊
I’ve seen mom dogs correct their puppies way worse than what Prince did! Prince was careful and easy with his correction, which was amazing to see! My Dobergirl came from a litter of twelve pups so the mom had her hands full, and when she corrected them, she wasn’t near as soft as Prince. She, of course, had mastitis so she was in a lot of pain and the pups were still nursing half of the time. Prince is a true warrior!!!
I was going to write the same thing. And older dogs correct increasingly harder as the pups get older. This experience with Prince and Pippa was what this pup needed and will likely need a few times for the puppy to learn it permanently.
What a ridiculous word
I definitely don’t think Pippa likes him… she is basically screaming, “leave me alone!” With calming/cut off signals… look away’s, shifting weight away from the puppy, moving away from puppy, never moving towards the puppy, low tail wag, stiff/uncomfortable looking body language (not loose and bouncy) and when the puppy didn’t respond to her corrections, she hides behind the human (i.e. ‘help me please!’).
I have a dog like Prince too. I always tell owners to let their puppies bother my Lola. She will tell them correctly to stop. She’s such a great dog! She is very tolerant but one puppy wouldn’t stop humping EVERYONE.. it came for Lola and since she was bigger than the other dogs the owner tried to intervene. I told them let the puppy hump Lola.. and sure enough she gave a firm correction to this husky pup and the humping stopped immediately. 😂
Bull terrier owner here for 20 years. Prince was bluster without the harm, perfectly done. The little guy needs to be dominated by the big ones. I have a six year bitch with her 3 year old boy. She's sweet, but raised two good litters. She taught them after 10 weeks about alpha play. Bullies are tough, yet sensitive, and Prince was teaching subtle lessons that will teach the bully life lessons. Nice looking bully!
You wouldn’t happen to know how to keep an adolescent, 8-9 months old, intact male EBT from going after little older dogs that had its mother separated from him when he and his siblings were 5-6 weeks old and did not get early socialization due to what a vet said?
Prince is so daggum good at what he does! This was an excellent demonstration, what a truly perceptive read Joel 👏👏👏 This little guy's hormonal load is off the charts at only four months...seems to me 🤔 He's surely darn cute 🥰 So glad his people know what they know and don't 😅
Thanks for this, it's always enjoyable!
Prince: "Grasshopper, you shall learn wisely from me".
prince was so gentle with the little guy
Nice. It reminds me of a video of a mare correcting her foal. He'd kicked her whilst messing around so she kicked him back. A few people were, "Aww poor baby, mean mum" but it was the best thing she could do. He had to learn to control himself and not be a tit.
I looked for that video. I like it.
When it happens in a flash second it does look hot and fast but Prince was phenomenally gentle, just determined to roll the little guy. 😂
Prince is absolutely brilliant you did an amazing job training him.
I'm so beyond excited about you starting a trainers program! I have been working on becoming a trainer since last year and have followed you for over 2 years. If I am to learn from anyone you are definitely my first choice.
I rescued my dog when he was 6 months.
After groundwork was done I only let him play with bigger dogs so he realised that he isn't the biggest, buffest dude around.
Worked pretty well and a year later he is very friendly and gets along with pretty much any dog as long as they are friendly too plus he never really had a phase where he tried to hump anyone. Maybe tried it 3 times, got told off every time and that was it pretty much.
A local fog trainer actually brought one of their clients dogs with her when my dog was in the park.
The clients dog was a humper with 9 months old and tried that to my dog.
I've never seen my dog correcting another young stud this heavy. And this dog was nearly twice his size.
Well Schnauzers are known for beeing bold lol
But this was the first time I was unsure if this was right, what my dog was doing
But the trainer looked at me and said "No let him do this. The younger one is acting up. It's like a 15 year old comes into your house, clears the coffee table with his hands, putts his feet up there and demands a beer."
It all went fine but took a solid 20 minutes or so until the 9 month old was calm and everything relaxed
I've never seen my dog being this bold and fierce tbh
But good to know he isn't the one who will be bullied even by bigger dogs
Your dog did a great favor to the 9 month old and the trainer was astute enough to let it go and probably noticed your dog's balanced personality. Your dog was taught by stronger dogs and now he's paying it forward as another good citizen. I hope you are proud!
Oh wow, what a story!
I’m glad it panned out how it did and a lesson was learned. (Hopefully) 😅
@@someusername4129I am very much proud of him.
My dog before him was highly reactive.
I was always on guard and I guess seeing him "aggressive" like that triggert something in me and thats why the trainer told me everything is fine.
We know each other for a while now and she is great.
And yes it was about time that the little guy was thought some boundaries.
The trainer told me he already got into trouble with another dog who had clearly showed him a boundary, he didn't listen and got bitten pretty bad in the private parts for it.
It was nasty and luckily the owners realised that.
@@MichelleNyxRaymondi hope so too, but I am worried about the training being successful.
The couple who owns him are too soft to him.
The little guy jumped up at the guy and bit his sleeves in a very hard, demanding manner and when the trainer told him he has to firmly tell him no or stop, he just looked at his dog and said "I can't".
I hope the will get the hang of it.
This dog us 9 months old and already twice the size of my 1 1/2 yr old who is 45 cm and 12 kg (about 17 inch and 26 lbs).
If they can't control him soon it will end badly.
❤
I really appreciate the way you explain dog behavior, posturing, body language, etc. It has been so helpful. I continue to learn from you. Thank you
I love this video - - you see the precision and restraint of Prince - - the Big Daddy using his teeth in a completely open mouth gesture rolling that puppet around - - no biting but big impression ! What a Master Leader. Hope that young Bull Terrier Gets Over Himself SOON !
Pippa has an outstanding temperament
a friends eng bull almost ruined my knee once - they are absolute powerhouses in motion with concretised heads
Prince is just such a handsome and impeccably trained best dobie boi. And I love how you are a realist Joel, and you discuss the *reality* of these behaviors in the bully breeds. I think people are often sold on the idea that THEY can be the one special person to “fix” a certain dog. But the training is much harder than they realized. The puppy is very nervous and trying to figure things out but he’s already too pushy and fixated and prone to fixating (he fixes on Prince more than running around and exploring, which is what most puppies would do initially with that big beautiful yard) rather than having genuine fun and play bowing etc. He fixates on Prince, which as you said will become more and more sexual until they fix him or deal better with the behavior as it will def cause incidents, and he runs at Pippa’s face, which she did not like and communicated, and he runs for Prince’s butt and heels. Prince was exactly right to show him that “NO” - you don’t get to bite at my heels and constantly tag my butt. It’s rude kid.” A dog less smart and disciplined than Prince might have really stomped that pup down. Prince is a proud bachelor yet he handled it like a father of ten!!
I have ridden and worked with horses for years Joel, and it is amazing to watch the many crossovers in thinking and training. As Rick the retired cop from Think like a Horse says nobody can train a foal up better than other older and wiser horses - as they exercise out in their paddock every day - smart mares that have seen it before and tough confident geldings that will NOT tolerate rude running up, nipping at heels or butts, humping attempts, ignoring boundaries, trying to steal food or treats, etc. An older gelding will give a rude colt a pop in the ribs with a well-timed kick that will hurt enough to remember but not cause permanent injury. Train early and often and avoid catastrophic vet bills and BE when you ruin your horse (infamous woman in a movie about the horse trainer Buck - she brought in a stallion for one training course and the horse was completely out of control and injured multiple people. Buck learned she had over a DOZEN intact stallions running around feral and without care in a giant pasture. Most of them were removed from her “care.” It was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen with horses).
Thanks for the video! Love to see a beautiful dobie being his wise wizard self!!
I enjoy the commonalities between horses and dogs, too. Growing up, our house sort of became an unofficial rescue for random animals that people we knew couldn't take care of. Many of them were cherished, well-behaved family pets, but some of them had a darker side and had been through several families by the time they got to our place. Only one animal, a horse, was so dangerous that after several years of working with her, we were convinced that we couldn't do anything more for her and had to send her on. I think I love training videos so much because it makes me *SO HAPPY* to see people who care enough about their pet to put in the time and money to work with them so that everyone wins and a difficult creature doesn't have to keep being shuffled from place to place.
I hadn't heard of the program you mentioned, but that many stallions loose together sounds horrifying. I don't think I could stomach watching it.
Wow, I can't believe you featured a puppy bull terrier! This is exactly why you're my favorite channel! I was so excited when they were the breed of the day on the Pod, but it's amazing to see more content on this breed. As a breeder for about a decade, I completely agree with the correction - this breed definitely needs a firm hand, and they bounce back quick without getting their feelings hurt. They're so eager to please! The idea of joining your mentoring program is really interesting - we definitely need more breeders who are trainers first.
Seemed like a perfect correction by Prince. Very clear and direct, but not hurting the puppy at all. So cool to watch.
Such an energetic little ball of a dog. Nice video!
We recently got a Blue Heeler puppy and he’s a bit feisty. We also have an 8 year old Australian Kelpie who is the sweetest dog ever. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s a bit anxious (we adopted her from a shelter and they had zero idea of her background) The 10 week old puppy was acting like this to our older dog and she put up with it and put up with it and finally she decided enough was enough and she did exactly what Prince does. She was gentle and didn’t hurt him but very firm. Now they play so nice together and I was so proud of her for teaching the pup in a way we can’t do as well as people. It was so cool to watch!
Puppy content is always appreciated!
Love Prince! He is the GOAT! So gentle while still making his point! Those bullterriers are tough dogs, there will need to be many lessons! Great video!
I LOVE that your purpose is to teach the dogs to be good citizens in the dog world! It's wonderful that you've created a coaching program! I sometimes think you should do a video where you train the owner, for people who adopt adult dogs. Have the new owner come out, work with Prince at your direction (or maybe a big stuffed Prince toy on wheels lol). Maybe Prince would roll the thick-headed owners like me till we learned lol!
That’s a great idea
Your videos have helped me a lot when training my now one-year-old Pomeranian who was always fearful and aggressive toward other dogs. Now that I know how to introduce her safely and make leash corrections when needed she finally made her first ever dog friend!
Prince did a perfect correction!!! Great job by your trainer, too! One of my neighbors I helped several months ago with ur loose leash walking stopped me to ask more training questions and I reco'd your channel! He got his phone out right away and found it! Hurray!!! You're the best!!! 🐾❤️🙏🏽
One of a kind video! Another powerhouse video. Great voiceover explanations! 👏👏
dude, prince is absolutely incredible. if you rewind and really pay close attention to prince's correction, you can see that he's really not using his teeth at all on this puppy. right up until the end you can see him gently press his teeth down, as if to get the contact across with meaning, but without harm. the correction appears harsh due to how fast it happened, but it's amazing how prince goes easy on the terrier because he knows he's just a pup. if you see prince correct in his other videos, he will use appropriate on other neurotic adult dogs. what an amazingly intelligent animal he is.
That little guy is relentless. Good job, Princey! Best wishes with your new undertaking, Joel. So excited for you and all of us!
Smart owner! 😅love that title!
I have fostered over 15 puppies over the years, most as young as 9 weeks old, and have always corrected my puppies from day 1. As an example, if they nip my hands i would say NO and hold their mouth firmly with my hand and give it a little shake. They are not traumatized by this, they see this as communication and after the second or third time, they learn to stop nipping. People need to stop thinking their puppies are delicate little china dolls. If you ever see how puppies correct each other or how Mother dogs correct their puppies you will realize you need to be firm, fair, and consistent and the puppies will thrive off of the direction and structure you give them.
Exactly, I completely agree with you on that.
Of all the dogs you’ve this one has to be the cutest. That little heart snoot
Prince is superb teacher.
This dog looks very confident. Carries his tail high almost the whole time. For the attempted mount, this puppy pushes the boundaries at 2:23 , maybe because Prince is lying down? Prince is looking away with ears a little pinned (looking to Joel) & the puppy raises his face to Prince & stands on Princes leg. Like a mini challenge. It looks like because Prince did nothing he moves onto mounting Prince. I could be totally wrong but that’s what I see. That correction from Prince displaced the puppy & rolled him round a little with puppy on his back & Princes face up against his & teeth on show. The puppy looked at Prince a bit different after that! Prince is such a good boy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
That was perfect. That was a mild alpha correction for a pup that i think actually didnt even know to get in submissive posture, which is what prince was also trying to show him or expecting. Think this pup might benefit from time with a pack with different age dogs to "learn his place" in a sense
Prince was that little guy's hero after the correction! LOL so adorable. He seems to appreciate the guidance. Obviously, he wants to learn to be a best boy.
Prince basically said that if he wanted to then he COULD hurt him and that others WOULD hurt him. Definitely something his littermates couldn't teach him.
I said it on Instagram, and will reiterate here… Prince is damn skilled! This is natural and appropriate dog communication… and the best thing for helping form this BT pup into an ambassador for the breed. 👏👏👏👏
Just an adorable puppy...and once again, an excellent video.
Prince is a good teacher
Awesome dog
love watching your vids where prince corrects dogs you are a smart dog trainer
We just had a guest with a 10 weeks old pumi puppy, and he was exactly like this to our 2,5 yo dog! Bite his bum and jumped on his side & hump already!! I saw my dog being slightly annoyed yet soooo freaking patient, & I told our friends that it shouldn't be allowed even if smol (this top notch pushiness) but of course everyone laughed it off "ohh comon hes a puppy"! My dog did show a few teeth just softly later hh, then being outside, both play-bowed, mine jumped over the little fella from all direction, not touching him, kiddo was not that brave boy anymore 😏
Great session!!
Thank's, i don't have a dog anymore but keep enjoying the video sessions
Loved this video thank you
Prince is such a gentleman ❤
Thank you to the Beckman family including Prince for their exemplary commitment and consistency in developing innovative and extremely valuable techniques and methods that have helped owners and their pets achieve healthy and well balanced relationships. Our family is profoundy grateful!
I watched the correction in actual time and I knew he never actually harmed the puppy great dog trainer and corrector 👌
I've been thinking that having some sort of academy for people to get certified with your training methods would be a great idea and here you've been planning a mentorship program! Great to hear about! This is going to make major changes in the entire dog world, globally.
Yes, the earth is a sphere 😂
The only thing flat earthers have to fear is sphere itself!
@@underduress5761😂
@@underduress5761well played, word play sir!
😂@@underduress5761
Omg. That puppy was so sad afterwards but I am so shocked by Princes INCREDIBLE self control because he handled that so well when he could have easily hurt the puppy. Wow. Great job raising him Joel!
I bet that pup had worse corrections from his mother.
Exactly. Nothing more fierce than a disgruntled mother when it comes to pups. What Prince did was very measured. He's a pro. Fantastic little Bull Terrier too. He's on his way to greatness now. Terriers never forget. Ever.
Prince is priceless
It’d be interesting to see your dogs (prince) interact with police/military dogs..
Is this program available to owners of difficult dogs who aren't actively working towards becoming professional dog trainers? The general public?
Thank you so much for all the advice and methods that you have shared so freely with us through the years. We all appreciate it immensely, especially those who own large livestock guardians or protection dogs. Our dogs are better citizens of the world for it. Thank you Mr Beckman!
So big for his britches! Haha
I think of how lots of animal moms and dads are exactly matching the energy level of the youngster's misbehavior. Animal parents raise perfect animals in their own society, humans make it hard. In a wolf pack, this puppy would have so much socializing to bring him to perfect citizen behavior.
When my dog was a pup, she used to irritate some older adult dogs on our walks, she had too much energy and was too much for their patience, so a couple of dogs put her in her place lol
Great video Joel!! 😁👍
Well, now I don't want a puppy. Sheesh, major stinker that one was, to put it politely. 😆 Good boy, Prince! Great pride of ownership too. I loved how the owners didn't want anymore accidents and acknowledged the challenges of the breed. Starting them (dogs) young is truly the key.
This is an awfully cute puppy!!
Prince should be called King.
Thats amazing you and prince saw the premark. I had to imagine it after you mentioned it to see it. lol
Love it. Momma dogs do this all the time to their pups when they're acting outta line. It's the dog equivalent of learning good manners. Sometimes it looks like puppies were taken from the mom too young before they learned vital social skills
Good job Princey
I agree with both of your pre behavior moments from the puppy. Correct it young and you won’t have a hard time when they are adults
Well done, Prince!
My pup, Bingo, used to be a bitey boy. My eldest girl, Twinkle is basically a grandmother to him. A very angry grandmother. Whenever he tried to bite she would put him in his place straight away. Fast forward a whole year! Bingo is the cutest lil gentleman I’ve ever seen! He responds well to commands. Still working on getting him off the couch though!
Joel's training is really good and Prince is awesome at helping train dogs. I will tell you that I've been around.a.couple.of bull.terrors and they can be wonderful dogs. They typically are affectionate, fun loving dogs, but they do need guidance and training. I think this is the perfect age to do it.
Prince would make an amazing Dad.😊 Let us know when that happens, please!!
I think Prince has interacted with so many dogs that he has learned that it his job to teach these miscreants how to behave in the world. It's amazing the level of communication animals have. We miss so much!
I help train service dogs. I have an older semi-retired service dog. He helps with the little ones. And yes, he corrects the unwanted behaviour. Boy do the puppies get it. They learn respect quickly from a well balanced elder.
I LOVE HOW PRINCE WORKS, BECAUSE HE EXERCISES THE PRESSURE, JUST THE RIGHT FORCE TO HURT THE DOG'S BODY AS LESS AS POSSIBLE AND YET, EQUALLY, HE EXERCISES THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE FORCE, TO HURT THE DOG'S MIND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.... AMAZING ...
YOU HAVE MY GREETINGS, MY LIKE AND MY RESPECTS
Dogs train other dogs better then human do. love prince!
I had a bunch of Staffordshire bull terrier puppies, they got a lot of that from their mom and dad ..😂😂😂
Atta boy, Prince! Love watching those tight hairpin curve turns that you do as you roll 'em. LOL!!! Pat pat pat!
Prince corrected him for the T-Position ( Bullterrier blocking him), not for the pee.....
That’s what I saw as well.
I’m not any sort of dog expert, just a curious bystander appreciating the channel, but this is what I questioned as well once I found out what that was. The two are definitely perpendicular, the puppy’s blocking him, and he looks pretty confident. Only reason why I did a double-take on the pre-mark was because I missed the puppy’s back legs moving: I only saw the front left leg lift up, so I was a little confused.
Edit: Of course, not to say that Mr. Beckman doesn’t know any better-he clearly has more experience (at least way more than me), but if he didn’t think of this before, then I do think this is a great possibility to consider. :))
I wish more people understood this. We live in a city and have a fox terrier and a mixed breed the same size. We used to like to take them to the dog park a couple times a week to let them really run off leash. A daily walk is not really enough for an active breed like the fox terrier, and living in the city, we don't have a big yard to run in. Unfortunately, so many people got dogs and didn't socialize them during covid, we have had too many bad experiences and just quit going. Bigger poorly socialized dogs and terriers really don't mix well. My dogs would be giving clear back off signals (so clear I could read them 20 feet away) and the bigger dogs were just completely ignoring them and knocking them over until my dogs had enough and would do a correction. My little mama never actually bit, just sounded horrible snarling and would snap and bark and just be like that's it, back off, and if they didn't, I would intervene. But the fox terrier did the same thing every fox terrier our family's had has done in this situation. Snap snap snap, and if they don't back off immediately, he grabs them by the ear and won't let go till they lay down and show him they're calm. No time for me to intervene because he's like aw no, you're going down, while she was like I really don't want to fight so I'm going to keep telling you to back off, giving me time to get over there. The fox terrier is unfortunately very down for fighting, though he would definitely prefer to be left alone. It's just if they don't leave him alone, he's very game. Of course, this is our fault for having "agressive" dogs even though their dogs were very obviously ignoring very overt body language from our dogs that they don't like this "game." And being smaller, of course they are going to get madder over "little" things. It might be a little thing to have another 60lb dog jump on your back when you're also a 60lb dog, but it's not such a little thing when you're 1/3 or 1/4 the size of the dog jumping on you! That's like an adult man tackling a 7 year old! Not cool! It's sad because we used to have so much fun. My little girly had an oversized golden retriever buddy and a husky she would play chase with back and forth if one of them was there, and if there were hounds, the fox terrier would run and bark with them for an hour. And they're both great with puppies, as long as the owner is ok with them correcting bad behavior. More people used to be...
OMG I never saw a bull terrier puppy. They are adorable.
Great video. Thanks so much! Prince is so good, but wow, that cute little puppy seriously started some dangerous behaviors. Of course only Prince knows, but I'd say that climb maybe 55% possible hump, but that possible mark, I'd say 95%.
P.S. suggestion for breed of the week: standard poodle
reminds me of when my dog was playing chase with an aussie shepherd. things went well until it tried to herd him. the owner tried to correct it but the dog didnt listen. the best correction was when my dog did a yelp then whipped around, stood his ground, and then barked and air snapped. the dog got the message and stopped and they both just sniffed eachother. my dog is part besenji so he loves running and chasing and being chased but wont hesitate to let a dog know when they are being too rough. he doesnt tollerate dispalys of dominance or flexing either.
My Mom used to breed German Shepherds and Corgis. The best teachers of manners for puppies is Mom and other older dogs. We would always let the puppies run in the back yard with the older dogs and they learned what to do and what not to do. By the way I've watched Bull Dogs at dog shows. One of the bull dogs in the ring jumped up and clamped onto the suit sleeve of the handler who was showing the dog. Once they clamp on they don't let go. Thankfully it didn't get any skin with the sleeve. Prince didn't hurt that puppy at all. Just rolled him a few times. Didn't let him get up. Good Prince.
There is this time you mentioned that prince love dogs and I can totally agree with I mean it's so clear from his eyes his body language they way he interact with this other dogs tells it. He I have never seen him try to dominate other dogs yet a bag of times he meets smaller dogs.
Forget cinder block, that's an anvil!
I love bull terriers so much-I have 2 right now. They are very forward moving dogs and can be highly annoying to other dogs. They are up in their face and often climb on top of them(even when they sleep they will lay directly on another dog's back). I'm not sure when or how the change happens that this behavior is no longer just a breed thing versus a dominant thing. I know when BT's play together with other BT's they will stand neck to neck in a stiff manner but then spin around while wagging their tails and do it again taking turns. They also "mouth wrestle" where they are play biting each other's mouth. It looks scary to people but it is definitely play behavior. I really think that this breed should play with all types of dogs while they are young(with an observant human) so they can learn that not all dogs play that rough. I think this young fellow is so gorgeous and it's good to get a little tamp down by a dog that isn't out to damage them. Prince did what the border collie tried to do with a little more pressure. The puppy wasn't cowering or hurt so it was a good lesson for him to settle down a bit. These little tank BT's need many reminders to be gentle and give space. Thank you for sharing!!
Do you believe in the concept of the “puppy pass” where the adults allow them to get away with way way more until they hit a certain age and then get corrected - is that BS? I’ve seen it with small small puppies but wasn’t sure in reality
A puppy pass is absolutely a thing
Prince was spot on!
I really hope people notice what a dog correcting another dog looks like. Yes their teeth are out. But that is simply how dogs feel and interact with the world. Dogs just like people have tolerances to. And this is how they communicate crossing the line without violence or barking. Prince correcting the puppy was good behavior. Now this puppy will learn there are limits and the puppy will be better for it. Just like teaching any child.
Young dogs, especially high energy young dogs, need corrections from balanced older dogs so they know how to fit into a pack (any pack structure) in a healthy way. This also goes for their handlers - they need to set firm but fair boundaries. Too many folks purchase a dog because they like the breed, not understanding the challenge this breed poses. Tough breed, you must be “on it” and aware of what that dog needs to be a canine good citizen. There’s actually a test for it that is worth looking into, especially for those who cannot train with Beckman directly. In Canada we call it Canine Good Neighbor. It clearly lays out the basic parameters of acceptable behavior.
"prince just rolled him around in a circle, essentially" honestly from a pure visual perspective the correction genuinely looks REALLY funny to me, that puppies fat little sausage body just rolling around omfg 😂
I agree lol little rolly polly
Pretty scary all the same. Easy to forget Prince is a (dreaded) Doberman! I don't think he'll forget the experience...
Perfect correction by Prince and that’s the perfect age for that pup to be learning these important lessons.
You don’t get enough credit my guy !
Ages ago my brother had a dog of a bully breed and he had been no issues playing (and telling off) several puppies, but a toy puppy went up to them on the street and behaved aggressively to which he immediately tried to push it down much like Prince here, and the leash broke (metal snapped). Some random stranger just saw a bully dog "attacking" and kicked him in the stomach so his jaws snapped. I have no idea what they even thought would come out of that. Not a happy ending.
Although the police dropped all charges as my brother/his dogs had never before recieved a complaint and it was a freak accident that the metal part of a proper leather leash broke. Never had another problem either.
But shows just how much people likes to jump in when dogs are behaving like dogs, making the situation worse because we think we need to protect them. That's exactly how you end up with dogs that can't behave around others.
Whatever you pay Prince, it's not enough.
I wish I could get my Presa to be less dog aggressive but it’s just in his blood with maturity.. I did decoy work with him for a few years and he did excellent building prey drive towards strangers but nothing towards other dogs really… Then once he hit about 2.5-3 years old his temperament towards all other dogs changed swiftly. Even with a muzzle on him I can’t take him to the dog park because he will just switch into prey drive out of nowhere and dominate whatever dog is around. Doesn’t matter the size. I keep him pretty trim too for a Presa so he is only about 125-130lbs but he has the head of a 200lbs dog and he is so strong.. Even with continuous socialization and training I don’t trust him around other dogs if I am not there. That IS in his nature and that is what you sit up for when you buy a Presa but I was hopeful that I could him to where I could pair him with a mate. It doesn’t always work out like that but it’s not his fault, that’s just the nature of the beast. He is still amazing with my 4 year old son and a great protector so that is really what I paid for, the rest is just wishful thinking.
My 4 y/o girl dog pulled this move on the neighbor's proud male puppy. Scared the blazes out of me and my neighbor, but the puppy was just surprised. Didn't really recognize what the dog was doing she didn't like (I think he was sniffing her behind at the time), but she pulled no punches. At the time, you feel awful, like your dog's been aggressive, and I was very apologetic, but I really think what she did was fine.
Prince is a Rockstar ❤
Would you recommend for this puppy in particular to be neutered as soon as possible so he won't evolve the behaviors that would become bothersome ? You talked a lot about this in THE pod, but every dog + it's owner is unique and i think we would all agree it would be beneficial to hear about this from you once again.
That correction Prince did was right on. It was balanced and effective and just what the puppy needed.
Bull terrier mothers do BIG corrections with older puppies.
Puppy is cute but a bull dog. Prince is doing a good job.
Bullterrier not Bulldog
I have four dogs and one of my oldest dogs corrected my youngest dog when he was still a puppy and he still blank stupid games but he gets corrected every time he does so he learned his lesson now
Even though he didn’t he thought about it and Prince wasn’t havin it. 😂
