I think Prince being confident but calm and non threatening is what helped the other fog stay calm. He is so incredibe. I've never seen a dog with such discipline and intelligence. It's like he knows he's teaching other dogs
he definetly knows and does it very willingly. a very smart dog. and complex and friendly body language. the others either show submission or just wag their tails.
DEFINITELY ! Prince is a frigging STAR, he is without doubt "THE" Prince. That momentary freeze at 21:36 then a TOTALLY in-synch play bow brought a tear to my eye, as I SAW Prince SEE other dog's timid tail wag, and KNEW it was time to invite to play, BUT also was balancing respecting the other dog's space, until little man said, "aah ok, maybe now" then off they went. LOVE it. Prince is SUCH a heavenly dude !
This dog seems to have a really good owner. He was misled by others and misinterpreted his dogs behavior a bit (probably in part due to the bad advice), but he seems really sharp and eager to learn. I’m impressed.
@@ethanm2376 I never know which word to use: 'owner', 'dad', 'master', 'partner'.... For me, I am my dog's adventure partner, best friend, family. I guess, if you pointed to me and asked my dog "Who is that?", my dog would say "That's my mom." It's hard to label that special bond between a dog and his human. In any case, I can see that you two have that bond; and you are lucky, blessed, to have each other.
@@MB-lf8rm I can see how some people feel that "owner" or "master" sounds uncaring and unloving. But at the same time, I think those are good names that you should feel free to embrace. Ownership means you have to take care and look after your dog. Being its master comes with a structure and discipline that you need to provide. There is nothing wrong with embracing those responsibilities and labeling them in that way. I think saying you are the "mom/dad" also indicates that you take on those responsibilities. It just sounds a lot nicer because it also implies a caring relationship. But I never like it when people say their dog is just their "friend". When you think about it, "friend" does not signify any responsibility or obligation. It also gives the idea that you have a similar or equal role in the relationship. I think that mentally, that is entirely the wrong way to approach the relationship with your dog. To me there is a key difference between those mindsets. After you have taken on the responsibility as owner, master, parental figure, guide, mentor or whatever you want to call it, you can then be as loving, friendly, companionable and caring with your dog as is humanly possible. But being the latter without the former is what leads to a lot of issues with dogs.
You really have an incredible level of teaching. You might not physically see the appreciation and the positive impact you’ve made on our lives but just know it’s there. (And what I like most about you is that you’re NOT using e-collars etc. Maybe useful tools for some, but it just doesn’t feel right to me personally)
People put all ecollar training in the same bracket. But like ANY tool, you can use it well, or poorly. I have a GSP who can get so involved in a scent she is oblivious to anything around her. Me, other dogs, food. I've seen her so absorbed on a rabbit scent that she didn't see or hear the rabbit run under her legs and down the trail behind her!!! Without the collar, I cannot guarantee to get her back as I live surrounded by thick bush and plenty of wild animals and interesting smells. With the collar, I just need to vibrate it to get her attention. I've taught her that the vibrate means to look for me for instructions. It's allowed her complete freedom. I don't see the difference with giving a child a cell phone or pager.
@@sportysbusiness I unfortunately live in a country where e collar use is banned. So my Gsp runs of if I don’t pay attention all the time. Over this winter there have been several hunting dogs that disappeared in the mountains. And I think many of these situations could be avoided with an e collar recall training method. It’s so frustrating
Same, I know they have their place in select uses, but I just personally really don't like them. It just feels wrong. And some trainers overuse the hell out of them
I know that alot of people have negative views on ecollars but, in the last 10 years technology has come so far when it comes to e-collars. When properly trained with an e-collar a dog never has to feel stimulation even high enough for us to feel it on ourselves. But you can also choose to use non stimulation by sound or vibration. The vibration is no different than our cell phones vibrating but that sensation on the dog, stops them in their tracks! I don't think it's for every dog but I think there's some dogs that it can be magical for. And I certainly think that people should have to take some type of educational course on how to properly use them before they can buy one and I do not think that the stem should go up to 100... just because there are those jackasses in this world that will use it at that high of a level and it's just not necessary ever!
I volunteered at the Humane Society for 7 years as a dog walker. NEVER put your hand into a dog fight. Use your feet. Seriously, your own dog may bite you. You can get hurt badly. Be safe all! Keep looking out for our 4 legged friends. Btw..we always adopt large adult dogs. We currently have a Doberman. She was shy/fearful and somewhat aggressive when we got her. She was also extremely underweight... only 48 pounds. After much love, patience and lots of training and positive re-enforcement, she is happy, healthy and confident. She's a blessing!
Yup, NEVER put your hand between. As someone with 6 huskies, they can get pretty territorial at times over food bowls - and that can ultimately cause fights. If one of the dogs actually does go for the jugular though (which has only happened once) and actually gets a hold of the other dog, you lift the legs. It causes a natural jaw unlock as they know they either let go or fall face first - it's disorientating for them. But that's about all you can do even if you do have a good relationship with your dog. If you can't call them off, and can't trust them around other dogs get correctional training or re home them to someone who can. It's a difficult decision, but ultimately it'll be better for the dog in the long run.
I do wish more trainers used the e collar for communication the way it's intended instead of punitively. like you said here, it can do so much more harm than good if it is used improperly. We took our youngest dog, Daisy to a behaviorist in Utah and the way he had us use the e collar has changed her life and my ability to communicate with her. I love that you're out here helping dogs and their owners. keep fighting the good fight!
Yes it is meant to be another tool to turn the brain on and a reminder its a WE w handler. Even for insecure dogs it can work wonderfully. Tom Davis uses it in a positive way as does Michael Ellis. If only other trainers would learn
One major use for e-collars as a vibration tool is to get a deaf dog's attention at a distance. In this usage it can be the difference between always being on a leash outside and being able to run in large safe areas.
I’m upset this is how k9 teaches it. They use correction only and yes it messed up my male. Now I’m tryin to unwind it, but he’s 177lbs and I have tried different collars and I can’t not hold him
I love that you admit your nervousness and show us in real time what you’re doing and with the actual owners. You are real and the most helpful trainer I’ve found. Thank you for sharing with us
Yes totally noticed that the fun, play pose loveliness was after he realised prince was safe because his owner had pet him. That was so sweet... the first dog had run at him... she was OK but he was worried by the running at him. It's nervousness I'd say... he's trying to sus out if each dog is safe (? Or if it gives off a shock?!)
I have more respect for prince than I do for many humans 😂, he's just such an awesome dog.I think he definitely deserves the promotion to King at this stage .
Joel please hear me when I tell you that you have given me a better life with my dog! I have implemented your methods and even your most recent post on the more relaxed correction of the Doberman with the ailments has been so instrumental for my family! We do not live near you but if we did I would be there in a second!!!! I would be interested in growing with a Zoom lesson if interested.
I seriously have hope now that my dog can be fixed with correct training and trainer guidance. Thank you for the great vids and advice!! Keep being great Joel
Looking forward to seeing more of Bubbles, and I am cheering for him to lose that anxiety around other dogs. My heeler/Aussie mix was anxious when she was younger, but time and a patient approach made a big difference. E-collars are not for every dog as Bubbles clearly demonstrates, especially on dogs with sensitive natures like Bubbles. Thanks for another informative video.
Great video - loved how the kid petted Prince & Bubbles immediately became bestie with Prince. By the way, congrats on hitting 90 + subscribers! Kudos to you and your staff’s hard work in putting these videos out. I’ve learned so much in dealing with my own standard poodle. Thanks for all you do.
I have a standard poodle, too! She has dominant tendencies. Our first dog was a Doberman and this poodle is every bit as dominant as our Doberman was. Both great, amazing dogs... but they keep me on my toes. Lol
@@larissadueck2643 My poodle can also have dominant tendencies as well. He definitely keeps me on my toes trying to outsmart him; tho’ it usually is the other way around! LOL 😆
What a good dog owner. Clearly knows his dog well and his triggers and trying to do everything to give his dog the best life. He's absolutely right about the muzzle at the dog park. This is why I don't go to dog parks and wouldn't muzzle my GSD. If something happened he wouldn't be able to defend himself.
I really appreciate how Joel explained he wasn't trying to shame the owner about the shock collar (excuse me, e-collar) training, but I can see why he's saying that's messed about with his responses. It's like Bubbles doesn't know which way any of his interactions are going to go. I also appreciated the energy of the owner, he agreed it wasn't good and now he's here wanting to sort it out for all the right reasons. Respect.
This owner is like so many of us, realizing they need some help and unfortunately sometimes going with trainers that can do more harm than good. I briefly had a trainer that wanted to use ecollar corrections on all of my dogs for reactivity issues, so I relate to this owner quite a bit. I'm glad he kept searching for the right trainer/techniques just like I did!
Hey Joel. Great videos - just wanted to let you know! Your methods have helped me in my training a bunch. Definitely the best non bs advice on TH-cam. Keep up the good work and success will come!
Your energy down the lead is different than the owner! Spot on on calling that out! You are truly a good trainer! Dogs go on energy and body language! Glad to have found your channel!
The dog was definitely 15 months during this video. He mistakenly said "years" at 1:12, but at 2:41 of the video he says Bubbles is a "15 month old" dog.
Great video he looks like a border collie mix sometimes they act like this like a lot of hearding breeds also sometimes dogs around that age hormones are still changing. Can't wait to see the rest of this video. I could watch this all day long.
I think herding breeds are more like this cause they are bred to control live stock and keep in line if you watch them herd the usually do a Stalking thing to get them together certain breeds have more drive border collie and aussie are very smart and always thinking ahead but usually cautious with things. It's in there blood. Just my opinion. Just have to direct them to how we want them to be.
@@ethanm2376 thanks for letting us watch the training! He's a good dog and young, I'm sure you guys are going to do great. You are so lucky to be able to go to Beckman's in person!
Interesting owner. He probably watched quite a lot of these videos and made up his mind. He sounded confident and experienced. Good job on listening but not “eating” what the owner said.
Thank you. This is fantastic! We rescued a little mix breed with a lot of wild Dingo and Australian cattle dog who had been caged for a long period. He was 1 year and 8 months, totally hyper excitable with no training or social skills. I have been bingewatching this channel for 3 months solid and in the last week our dog has finally been able to come off leash in the dog park safely with really good recall. Today he did some crazy play with another young dog and they jumped and mouthed each other and took turns at laying belly up submissively but we could pause him a few times. All thanks to Joel and staff. We have learnt everything from this channel. A few weeks after we took him home from RSPCA we attended the RSPCA obedience training course but gave up after 1 lesson as the dog was so crazed with excitement at seeing the other dogs he was uncontrollable. The trainers response was to give him copious amounts of treats! I said to her, surely you cant reward bad behaviour like that? However she agreed the training was too much for him. I never returned to formal training but employed Joel's methods religiously. I bought a gentle leader and muzzle but never used either. Thank you again Joel and team from me and my little dingo dog in Australia!
I love your training I use a lot of what I learned from you with the dogs that I handle, I watch your videos all the time I wish that you would put your clients on a mic because a lot of times it's hard to hear what they're saying! Keep up the good work, love you!
I think I know Bubble's thought process: Dogs through the fence and those who are pet by his owner are not threats - the dogs through the fence are behind a barrier, but those pet by the owner are showing they have no interest in harming them. Having a dog who hasn't associated with the owner or isn't blocked by a barrier might have made him fearful of the dog's potential temperament. That's what I got from it anyway.
Wish I had seen your videos when I got my first dog a couple years ago! She's a great dog. there are just some things I would do differently now after seeing your videos! You just make dog training so much simpler than what other trainers make of it.
Bubbles acts like my Bruce, similar age, small German shepherd/ pitbull mix, aggressive toward males. I considered using E collar but now I see that wouldn't work at all. This is a good video I'm looking forward to part 2!
This was great. Can't wait for part 2. A lot of interesting behavior in here, especially the crazy change after the owner pet Prince. This is a fine example of actually really diving into what's going on with the dog instead of just throwing a cookie cutter solution at the owner like so many trainers do.
That body language from the beginning was a red flag. I can tell both men however really care about the well being of this dog and I’m glad not everyone just gives up on a dog with issues. Great work! Prince is an amazing stable dog! I love seeing him
Bro the owner petting prince and doing so that bubbles understands prince is not any danger just snapped/turned bubbles into a completely different dog That was instantaneous, great call dude!
God this is so interesting! Watching his whole demeanor change like THAT from one minute to the other, I can't really put my finger on what the problem is with him. And like you say, it might be because there has been a tool (shock-collar) used that has disturbed him before. Very very fun to watch and super educative. I can't wait to see the video tomorrow.
What the owner said clicked. He said that at the store there was another dog at the cash register and he sniffed the other dog's rear end, but the second the dog went to sniff his, he went full blown attack. When Prince was meeting Bubbles, he tried to sniff his rear, but Bubbles would stare intensely straight at Prince and move his rear away. Almost like if another dog sniffed his rear, the dog would know Bubble's dominance was just to cover up how submissive he really is. And he would only let stable dogs really know his true self because he doesn't want to be picked on in a bad way. If Prince wasn't a very stable dog, that 100% would have been an attack. But, because Prince took cues well and avoided eye contact, that didn't happen. Bubbles just has to learn to be ok with other dogs sniffing his rear. But that was so insanely weird the switch that happened when Bubble saw that Prince was accepted by the owner. I have never seen that kind of turn around. So cool to see. I also looked back to 7:40 when Bubbles met the black lab. And he should have been given a snap correction for the tense stare. That whole 3 seconds was a warning. "Back off and give me space". The lab was in his face much longer than he could take. The lab wasn't taking the subtle cue of the stare and doing look aways like prince did. In those 3 seconds, the dog then proceeds to bring her head up for just a second and then lower to continue on to sniff his rear and that is exactly when he goes off. First, he needs to be around dogs like Prince bc he doesn't give eye contact back and is really good at reading super subtle cues. While he meets dogs like prince, you could correct him on those stares and and tense energy. Also, i would suggest to hold him by his rear so he can get used to other dogs sniffing him. Or at least distract him with something so the other dog gets to sniff him. I don't usually use treats, and i'm not even sure bubbles would even take his eyes off the dog for a treat, but still worth a try so he can associate other dogs sniffing his rear to something good and that nothing will happen and also to keep him distracted. But still, it's a long shot. Sometimes it's just better to be straight forward with dog reactivity.
That was so cool to see the switch flip in his brain. "Oh my friend likes him, he must be safe then!" I really think the poor guy is just scared of dogs
His yard is insane I would love to bring my dog there hell and meet ya and get some advice I do t really have any major issues but would love to get some pointers from ya for sure awsome videos
My dog is actually similar to this one. But with mine I noticed that different energies from the other dogs created different reactions in mine. Like my sister’s indifferent small dog created no reaction in mine while my friend’s excited German shepherd created defense charging and snapping from my dog. And I notice my dog has some boundary frustration/leash reactivity too. I enjoy seeing these videos to see ways to handle these problems
Why have I only found this channel now that my bestest boy is 15! I will protect him at all cost just wish I would've prepared him better for this doggy world. He would've had more fun with other doggos
What you're describing as weird reactions from e-collar training could very well just be quirky behavior because he's part border collie. Our dog used to act very similarly and it wasn't from any damage. They can just get really stuck in their heads, but they do learn quickly. Bubbles did great!
Any tips? My Border Collie loves the dogpark and can play with so much different sort of dogs. And then randomly he snapped at another male Sheba Inu. He is 8 months and definitely a nervous typical Border Collie...
Hi, I have a 5 year old lab mix who reacts to dogs the same way as bubles does. It took me one whole year 😅 but I figured out that what trigers him is the amount of energy that the other dog shows and it might be the case with bubles too. Both of the females in the video are quiet excited too interact with him, thay paied lots of etention to him and thayre energy was very playfull which I think overwalmed bubles. Princ on the other hand was friendly but mostly calm and confident. That I think is what make bubles feel like he can trust him. Sorry for my grammer I'm Czech 😄. I love your content, it taught me some things that realy helped me with training my dog. Maya ❤
Yes. I also have a border collie mix who was attacked a couple times at a very young age and has been cautious and reactive towards dogs since. No e-collar traing. I think that has more to do with this dogs reactions than anything. You can see in his body language that he is on guard as soon as he sees another dog. Mine is the same way, but doesn't attack. Just stiff and staring and cautious. she's actually ultra submissive when she actually meets dogs. So it's not dominance. It's fear/caution. We get accused of undersocializing all the time too. But she only acts unsocialized because she's cautious and defensive
I love Prince. Love the way he walks !!! Like he knows he's the shit and he's not phased much by the other dog's. He's super chill UNTIL....he needs to check them. He just has so much self control. He's awesome. Team Prince !!! He's A sexy dog and I think he knows it.
As a dog trainer myself I always laugh when people say dogs are unpredictable because animals give you MANY signs as to why they act before they act, many people either don’t notice or the event happens way too fast for them to even realize the dog gave any signs. You could tell with the first dog that Bubbles at the fence was a bit fearful & on edge, he was curious when the black lab was quiet but as soon as the black lab started squealing he wanted no part. Bubbles seems to also not focus on his owner nearly as much as he should, a good tip would be for the own to practice eye contact training with Bubbles, it helps with most things but especially when dogs start getting to that panicky off the handle red zone because it gives them something to focus on & that something is someone they trust that makes them feel safe therefore it typically helps calm a dog down.
Or people just don’t know about the signs. It isn’t always obvious to people what certain signs mean. Like how a tail wag automatically means a dog is happy, when it’s not the case
"As a dog trainer myself I always laugh when people say dogs are unpredictable because animals give you MANY signs as to why they act before they act", while that may be true, if every human understood the language of canines, wouldn't that render your job pointless. What is your end goal here? Talking yourself out of a job, i think the dogs smarter than you are.
"Dude! That's a lotta water, Man" 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️ Awesome client I could tell right away he watched ur vids!! I would love to have some slo-mo moments in there for example I had to watch 3 times the segment to finally see they both playbowed at the same time. Also at the gate I think it would be good to explain again the body language specific like "Dog looks bad cuz stiff body, high-held unwagging tail, ears forward" I just knew cuz ur other vids but it might be good to explain in case it's somebody's first time watching. Anyway, u fantastic!!! Thank you for opening ur mind so we can see how u think about all these things🤗🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️
That dog just needed to realize he’s not going to get shocked anymore, petting prince gave him confirmation above all the other work done, that there wouldn’t be a shock.
I'm so damn impressed that Joel started yelling for him not to start something with Kiki, before Bubbles even so much as growled. When he did that, I was like "yo, how'd he catch that shit?!" Had to rewatch a couple times 😅
1st time watching this, when Prince pee's on the fence told the dog, "bro, names Prince and this is ALL mine and you my guest" which put the other dog in check imo
I wouldn't blame the e-collar for this behavior, but the inproper use of it. Even if the owner hasn't mentioned the e-collar, the way he behaves does look like insecurity /dominance. And maybe e-collar worked on some things, but haven't dealt with the main issue, too. But that being said, feels like e-collar was used incorrectly and the dog wasn't proofed properly. For example, when Bubbles was sniffing, probably the e-collar was used at that moment, making him more tense. So probably he was supposed to be conditioned to a recall whenever he over sniffs a dog, but it was used more as a correction and what the dog registered was that dogs that he feels very curious about could be dangerous.
Love all your video but I have to ask you . How in the world did you spin on top of that whale ? Or what ever that was that came out of the water ? That was the coolest thing I have ever seen . Awesome!!!! Been dying to ask please post something and tell us. Keep those great videos coming😀
been watching all your videos and SUPER helpful, thank you! your training has gotten our foster pitbull in excellent shape and successfully off to a new loving family. however, our own dogs are more an issue--8yo french bulldog who has IVDD (was paralyzed for 2wks a year ago) is very reactive and aggressive towards other dogs. how do we do correction if we can't use corrective leashes due to his medical condition? thanks!
Wow. This video right here🤌. My friend has a 3 year old German shepherd that acts just like that. I don’t know how honest the kid in the video is being but my friends German shepherd had e collar training, and was extremely deprived from socialization with other dogs. You throw a muzzle on him and try to introduce him to new dogs he does the same thing. He’ll even be quiet until they come thru the fence then start going crazy and attacking. Looks like I have to give my friend some tuff love
I love these two videos. Thank you so much for all the commentary. The owner mentioned that some labs in the neighborhood have been causing trouble. I think that's the trigger for bubbles with Kiki. What a great video!
I am making my way through your videos to educate myself. We are adopting a 4yo German Shepard. She is fixed and super sweet. We also have a mix that we rescued. She (mia) is super nervous, flighty but does well with other dogs. Mia is also very sweet. Sophie (the German Shepard) came to our home for the night to see how she did. Over all A+ but the two dogs interaction was C-. No fighting but if Mia runs, Sophie turns into pursue mode. First meeting had some “chomping” at mia. Some lunging but it ended well. My biggest concern is Sophie doesn’t yet know that mia isn’t a threat to us and will try to protect us ending in Mia getting hurt. Any tips?
I have a 7month Chow Chow who is reactive to other dogs, male or female, big or small, old or young, doesn’t matter to him. He’s done this since he’s 5 months and got startled when a big, but gentle black Labrador sniffed him from behind. He’s a sweetheart to people, but a apprehensive and reactive around other dogs. When they try to approach him he wil snap at them. But, some dogs he likes and then he can play with them off leash, but we only do this with a trainer around and dogs we know he’s ok with. On a walk, however, he’s really reactive and flips out when he sees another dog.
I'm really surprised he's a collie / aussie mix. He's a replica of my dog who is a canaan cross (hence the tail curl upwards). His behaviour is also very similar and we have to manage his dog meets very carefully. Normally first instinct can be defensive / snap but we also use a muzzle now to manage those which works well and he soon comes round to being friends. I think the reason he didn't kick off with Prince was simply because Joel had the leash more than anything else..for me the most important thing the dog needs is leadership. On the ecollar topic.. I find its great to manage recall which allows him to get off the leash which is great. I probably agree it can be problematic if used when meeting other dogs. I bet he's a great dog at home, just seems to be some fear / confusion going on. He will be great in time.
@@ethanm2376 that's awesome. Again.. so similar to my dog. Once he gets to know the dog he's great. It just managing that first initial meeting that can be the problem. And we don't get to be in the same controlled environment all the time unfortunately. Good luck buddy
Joel, thank you for this video! My bc intact male is totally alike in behaviour to Bubbles, he has been also attacked, he is also mostly good through fences, he is also behaving defencevely and switches from I don't like you,stay away to i will kill you in a milseconds.. never used the e-colar/shock collar on him or similar aids. He grew up around a beautiful bunch of dogs ( mainly males), and from what i see now and how he behaves with males, it's the intact males, or dogs who are staring at him..such as pugs, Frenchie etc.. he just go for them immediately... So i am so greatfull for this video.and the following parts too! Since he switched, he mainly plays with females, and neutered males who doesn't provoke him.. but i am absorbing every single word you say and move you do and hope one day we will get to the point when he will tolerate them without reacting.. he is a marker too 😅. Good luck to Bubbles! He is so lucky that he had the chance to meet you and the great pups there! Wishing everyone with reactive dogs the luck of Bubbles! 🤞🙂
This is my dog to a T. He's a border collie mix. His behavior with dogs is all over the place - annoyingly affectionate, giving the border collie stare, growling/barking, lunging, and trying to run away... or normal and friendly. I haven't been able to figure out why because it's not consistent with the other dog's size or sex. Now I'm wondering if he is taking his cues from my greetings, at least in part. He has been friendliest to my friends' and family's dogs. He also goes to doggie daycare and he does well there despite meeting unfamiliar dogs. I'll have to find a way to test my theory.
@@ethanm2376 based on his mix, he is likely crazy smart, driven and capable of tons. He's probably a ridiculous amount of fun and once you work out this thing he's got going on, you can go back to having a blast with him.
Prince is reminding us to stay *hydrated*
🤣🤣🤣
🤭🤣😂😆👌🏽💯
Or drinking water is a destressing activity.
Half the video was prince drinking
One of my collies would spend that time at the water my brothers thought he was playing with it
I love how Joel guides the owner how to do it, so then it's the owner taking it on first hand to know what to do.
Brilliant teaching Joel
Joel's little one liners kill me "Dude, that's a lot of water, man" LOL
That full minute of Prince had me cracking up then Joel says that hahah
You can tell the owner is really dedicated to training his dog!
I think Prince being confident but calm and non threatening is what helped the other fog stay calm. He is so incredibe. I've never seen a dog with such discipline and intelligence. It's like he knows he's teaching other dogs
Or setting a good example.
he definetly knows and does it very willingly. a very smart dog. and complex and friendly body language. the others either show submission or just wag their tails.
DEFINITELY ! Prince is a frigging STAR, he is without doubt "THE" Prince. That momentary freeze at 21:36 then a TOTALLY in-synch play bow brought a tear to my eye, as I SAW Prince SEE other dog's timid tail wag, and KNEW it was time to invite to play, BUT also was balancing respecting the other dog's space, until little man said, "aah ok, maybe now" then off they went. LOVE it. Prince is SUCH a heavenly dude !
This dog seems to have a really good owner. He was misled by others and misinterpreted his dogs behavior a bit (probably in part due to the bad advice), but he seems really sharp and eager to learn. I’m impressed.
Bad advice from beckman?
@@AlexanderBjalkdalWhat? No, quite the opposite of course.
I completely agree with you! Good owners make mistakes as well. But the interest and the desire to learn and work with his dog is amazing. Cheers
Bubbles looks like an awesome dog. And what a good owner he has.
Thank you so much !!!

@@MB-lf8rm Dad? That's just plain 'tarded.
You really have an incredible level of teaching. You might not physically see the appreciation and the positive impact you’ve made on our lives but just know it’s there.
(And what I like most about you is that you’re NOT using e-collars etc. Maybe useful tools for some, but it just doesn’t feel right to me personally)
People put all ecollar training in the same bracket. But like ANY tool, you can use it well, or poorly. I have a GSP who can get so involved in a scent she is oblivious to anything around her. Me, other dogs, food. I've seen her so absorbed on a rabbit scent that she didn't see or hear the rabbit run under her legs and down the trail behind her!!! Without the collar, I cannot guarantee to get her back as I live surrounded by thick bush and plenty of wild animals and interesting smells. With the collar, I just need to vibrate it to get her attention. I've taught her that the vibrate means to look for me for instructions. It's allowed her complete freedom. I don't see the difference with giving a child a cell phone or pager.
@@sportysbusiness I unfortunately live in a country where e collar use is banned. So my Gsp runs of if I don’t pay attention all the time. Over this winter there have been several hunting dogs that disappeared in the mountains. And I think many of these situations could be avoided with an e collar recall training method. It’s so frustrating
Same, I know they have their place in select uses, but I just personally really don't like them. It just feels wrong. And some trainers overuse the hell out of them
Vibrate colors work also !!!!!!
I know that alot of people have negative views on ecollars but, in the last 10 years technology has come so far when it comes to e-collars. When properly trained with an e-collar a dog never has to feel stimulation even high enough for us to feel it on ourselves. But you can also choose to use non stimulation by sound or vibration. The vibration is no different than our cell phones vibrating but that sensation on the dog, stops them in their tracks! I don't think it's for every dog but I think there's some dogs that it can be magical for. And I certainly think that people should have to take some type of educational course on how to properly use them before they can buy one and I do not think that the stem should go up to 100... just because there are those jackasses in this world that will use it at that high of a level and it's just not necessary ever!
Lmfao I’ve never laughed so hard. “Dude! That’s A LOT of water man”
I volunteered at the Humane Society for 7 years as a dog walker. NEVER put your hand into a dog fight. Use your feet. Seriously, your own dog may bite you. You can get hurt badly. Be safe all! Keep looking out for our 4 legged friends.
Btw..we always adopt large adult dogs. We currently have a Doberman. She was shy/fearful and somewhat aggressive when we got her. She was also extremely underweight... only 48 pounds. After much love, patience and lots of training and positive re-enforcement, she is happy, healthy and confident. She's a blessing!
Good point. Great work and experience as a dog walker. I am sure you are a great asset to those around you, especially to the doggies. All the best.
Yup, NEVER put your hand between. As someone with 6 huskies, they can get pretty territorial at times over food bowls - and that can ultimately cause fights.
If one of the dogs actually does go for the jugular though (which has only happened once) and actually gets a hold of the other dog, you lift the legs. It causes a natural jaw unlock as they know they either let go or fall face first - it's disorientating for them.
But that's about all you can do even if you do have a good relationship with your dog.
If you can't call them off, and can't trust them around other dogs get correctional training or re home them to someone who can. It's a difficult decision, but ultimately it'll be better for the dog in the long run.
Hope there was some negative feedback as well. It's no wonderland we living in. But great progress.
I do wish more trainers used the e collar for communication the way it's intended instead of punitively. like you said here, it can do so much more harm than good if it is used improperly. We took our youngest dog, Daisy to a behaviorist in Utah and the way he had us use the e collar has changed her life and my ability to communicate with her. I love that you're out here helping dogs and their owners. keep fighting the good fight!
Yes it is meant to be another tool to turn the brain on and a reminder its a WE w handler. Even for insecure dogs it can work wonderfully. Tom Davis uses it in a positive way as does Michael Ellis. If only other trainers would learn
Who was the behaviorist? I need one for my dog
@@rachaelnicole7492 Brian Agnew of the Balanced Dog. He does have a youtube channel as well.
One major use for e-collars as a vibration tool is to get a deaf dog's attention at a distance. In this usage it can be the difference between always being on a leash outside and being able to run in large safe areas.
I’m upset this is how k9 teaches it. They use correction only and yes it messed up my male. Now I’m tryin to unwind it, but he’s 177lbs and I have tried different collars and I can’t not hold him
I love that you admit your nervousness and show us in real time what you’re doing and with the actual owners. You are real and the most helpful trainer I’ve found. Thank you for sharing with us
Yes totally noticed that the fun, play pose loveliness was after he realised prince was safe because his owner had pet him. That was so sweet... the first dog had run at him... she was OK but he was worried by the running at him. It's nervousness I'd say... he's trying to sus out if each dog is safe (? Or if it gives off a shock?!)
Joel CRANKS OUT entertainment and education.....
Thank you Joel.
This is exactly like my dog. A mix of fear and dominance. I like to see more dogs like this :). Nice video.
Did you socialize as a puppy?
Same
Not only trains the dog but guides the owner through everything so he can be familiar with everything as well.
I have more respect for prince than I do for many humans 😂, he's just such an awesome dog.I think he definitely deserves the promotion to King at this stage .
This is an interesting case. Again thank you to the owner for letting us watch we always learn something from Joel.
Joel please hear me when I tell you that you have given me a better life with my dog! I have implemented your methods and even your most recent post on the more relaxed correction of the Doberman with the ailments has been so instrumental for my family! We do not live near you but if we did I would be there in a second!!!! I would be interested in growing with a Zoom lesson if interested.
I seriously have hope now that my dog can be fixed with correct training and trainer guidance. Thank you for the great vids and advice!! Keep being great Joel
You must change yourself to change your dog.
Looking forward to seeing more of Bubbles, and I am cheering for him to lose that anxiety around other dogs. My heeler/Aussie mix was anxious when she was younger, but time and a patient approach made a big difference. E-collars are not for every dog as Bubbles clearly demonstrates, especially on dogs with sensitive natures like Bubbles. Thanks for another informative video.
Great video - loved how the kid petted Prince & Bubbles immediately became bestie with Prince. By the way, congrats on hitting 90 + subscribers! Kudos to you and your staff’s hard work in putting these videos out. I’ve learned so much in dealing with my own standard poodle. Thanks for all you do.
I have a standard poodle, too! She has dominant tendencies. Our first dog was a Doberman and this poodle is every bit as dominant as our Doberman was. Both great, amazing dogs... but they keep me on my toes. Lol
@@larissadueck2643 My poodle can also have dominant tendencies as well. He definitely keeps me on my toes trying to outsmart him; tho’ it usually is the other way around! LOL 😆
@@virginiareynolds6296 yes! Smart and argumentative... at least mine is. Oy.
What a good dog owner. Clearly knows his dog well and his triggers and trying to do everything to give his dog the best life. He's absolutely right about the muzzle at the dog park. This is why I don't go to dog parks and wouldn't muzzle my GSD. If something happened he wouldn't be able to defend himself.
Prince drinking water for 30 seconds straight shows how relaxed he is during his job lol
I really appreciate how Joel explained he wasn't trying to shame the owner about the shock collar (excuse me, e-collar) training, but I can see why he's saying that's messed about with his responses. It's like Bubbles doesn't know which way any of his interactions are going to go.
I also appreciated the energy of the owner, he agreed it wasn't good and now he's here wanting to sort it out for all the right reasons. Respect.
💯, Joel did great in how he approached the subject and the owner seems super cool & obviously wants to help his dog!
This owner is like so many of us, realizing they need some help and unfortunately sometimes going with trainers that can do more harm than good. I briefly had a trainer that wanted to use ecollar corrections on all of my dogs for reactivity issues, so I relate to this owner quite a bit. I'm glad he kept searching for the right trainer/techniques just like I did!
Hey Joel. Great videos - just wanted to let you know! Your methods have helped me in my training a bunch. Definitely the best non bs advice on TH-cam. Keep up the good work and success will come!
Bubbles is such a cutie! What a beautiful shiny coat and curly! You can tell the owner really loves him. Rooting for you guys!
Your energy down the lead is different than the owner! Spot on on calling that out! You are truly a good trainer! Dogs go on energy and body language! Glad to have found your channel!
the sigh followed by "DUDE. that's a lot of water, man" killed me 😂
1:12 "This is bubbles a 15 year old mixed dog". Lol he's doing well and looks good for 15 years old!
FOR REAL!!!!
That has to be wrong.... I think he meant 15 months... LOL
The dog was definitely 15 months during this video. He mistakenly said "years" at 1:12, but at 2:41 of the video he says Bubbles is a "15 month old" dog.
Great video he looks like a border collie mix sometimes they act like this like a lot of hearding breeds also sometimes dogs around that age hormones are still changing. Can't wait to see the rest of this video. I could watch this all day long.
This is us in the vid He’s half border collie half Aussie !
Thank you for sharing. Hope everything is going well. Thank you for being a great owner.
Why are herding dogs always reactive and stuff wonder if it’s something with their genetics
I think herding breeds are more like this cause they are bred to control live stock and keep in line if you watch them herd the usually do a Stalking thing to get them together certain breeds have more drive border collie and aussie are very smart and always thinking ahead but usually cautious with things. It's in there blood. Just my opinion. Just have to direct them to how we want them to be.
@@ethanm2376 thanks for letting us watch the training! He's a good dog and young, I'm sure you guys are going to do great. You are so lucky to be able to go to Beckman's in person!
His tail is sooo communicative!
Interesting owner. He probably watched quite a lot of these videos and made up his mind. He sounded confident and experienced. Good job on listening but not “eating” what the owner said.
Thank you. This is fantastic! We rescued a little mix breed with a lot of wild Dingo and Australian cattle dog who had been caged for a long period. He was 1 year and 8 months, totally hyper excitable with no training or social skills. I have been bingewatching this channel for 3 months solid and in the last week our dog has finally been able to come off leash in the dog park safely with really good recall. Today he did some crazy play with another young dog and they jumped and mouthed each other and took turns at laying belly up submissively but we could pause him a few times. All thanks to Joel and staff. We have learnt everything from this channel. A few weeks after we took him home from RSPCA we attended the RSPCA obedience training course but gave up after 1 lesson as the dog was so crazed with excitement at seeing the other dogs he was uncontrollable. The trainers response was to give him copious amounts of treats! I said to her, surely you cant reward bad behaviour like that? However she agreed the training was too much for him. I never returned to formal training but employed Joel's methods religiously. I bought a gentle leader and muzzle but never used either. Thank you again Joel and team from me and my little dingo dog in Australia!
I love your training I use a lot of what I learned from you with the dogs that I handle, I watch your videos all the time I wish that you would put your clients on a mic because a lot of times it's hard to hear what they're saying! Keep up the good work, love you!
This dog just demands respect during a meeting and feels it's his responsibility to correct other dogs that don't.
I think I know Bubble's thought process:
Dogs through the fence and those who are pet by his owner are not threats - the dogs through the fence are behind a barrier, but those pet by the owner are showing they have no interest in harming them. Having a dog who hasn't associated with the owner or isn't blocked by a barrier might have made him fearful of the dog's potential temperament.
That's what I got from it anyway.
Wish I had seen your videos when I got my first dog a couple years ago! She's a great dog. there are just some things I would do differently now after seeing your videos! You just make dog training so much simpler than what other trainers make of it.
Bubbles acts like my Bruce, similar age, small German shepherd/ pitbull mix, aggressive toward males. I considered using E collar but now I see that wouldn't work at all. This is a good video I'm looking forward to part 2!
This was great. Can't wait for part 2. A lot of interesting behavior in here, especially the crazy change after the owner pet Prince. This is a fine example of actually really diving into what's going on with the dog instead of just throwing a cookie cutter solution at the owner like so many trainers do.
So much fun to watch these dogs, great work your doing Beckman.
That body language from the beginning was a red flag. I can tell both men however really care about the well being of this dog and I’m glad not everyone just gives up on a dog with issues. Great work! Prince is an amazing stable dog! I love seeing him
lol i wonder how much longer prince would’ve gone if Joel didn’t say “dude!”
"I feel like i really needed a stable dog like Prince for this, you know what i mean?" I think MrBeckman knows exactly what you mean
Congrats on the next milestone 90k!!!
Bro the owner petting prince and doing so that bubbles understands prince is not any danger just snapped/turned bubbles into a completely different dog
That was instantaneous, great call dude!
He trusts his human to know which dogs are safe. I bet some of the dogs he attacked were ones he thought his human didn’t like
God this is so interesting! Watching his whole demeanor change like THAT from one minute to the other, I can't really put my finger on what the problem is with him. And like you say, it might be because there has been a tool (shock-collar) used that has disturbed him before. Very very fun to watch and super educative. I can't wait to see the video tomorrow.
What the owner said clicked. He said that at the store there was another dog at the cash register and he sniffed the other dog's rear end, but the second the dog went to sniff his, he went full blown attack. When Prince was meeting Bubbles, he tried to sniff his rear, but Bubbles would stare intensely straight at Prince and move his rear away. Almost like if another dog sniffed his rear, the dog would know Bubble's dominance was just to cover up how submissive he really is. And he would only let stable dogs really know his true self because he doesn't want to be picked on in a bad way. If Prince wasn't a very stable dog, that 100% would have been an attack. But, because Prince took cues well and avoided eye contact, that didn't happen. Bubbles just has to learn to be ok with other dogs sniffing his rear. But that was so insanely weird the switch that happened when Bubble saw that Prince was accepted by the owner. I have never seen that kind of turn around. So cool to see. I also looked back to 7:40 when Bubbles met the black lab. And he should have been given a snap correction for the tense stare. That whole 3 seconds was a warning. "Back off and give me space". The lab was in his face much longer than he could take. The lab wasn't taking the subtle cue of the stare and doing look aways like prince did. In those 3 seconds, the dog then proceeds to bring her head up for just a second and then lower to continue on to sniff his rear and that is exactly when he goes off. First, he needs to be around dogs like Prince bc he doesn't give eye contact back and is really good at reading super subtle cues. While he meets dogs like prince, you could correct him on those stares and and tense energy. Also, i would suggest to hold him by his rear so he can get used to other dogs sniffing him. Or at least distract him with something so the other dog gets to sniff him. I don't usually use treats, and i'm not even sure bubbles would even take his eyes off the dog for a treat, but still worth a try so he can associate other dogs sniffing his rear to something good and that nothing will happen and also to keep him distracted. But still, it's a long shot. Sometimes it's just better to be straight forward with dog reactivity.
That was so cool to see the switch flip in his brain. "Oh my friend likes him, he must be safe then!" I really think the poor guy is just scared of dogs
His yard is insane I would love to bring my dog there hell and meet ya and get some advice I do t really have any major issues but would love to get some pointers from ya for sure awsome videos
Prince is literally a whole unit, what a GOOD SIR!!
Good dogs, good owners, GREAT trainer (Joel)!
My dog is actually similar to this one. But with mine I noticed that different energies from the other dogs created different reactions in mine. Like my sister’s indifferent small dog created no reaction in mine while my friend’s excited German shepherd created defense charging and snapping from my dog. And I notice my dog has some boundary frustration/leash reactivity too. I enjoy seeing these videos to see ways to handle these problems
Bubbles' owner has great instincts. Kudos!
Why have I only found this channel now that my bestest boy is 15! I will protect him at all cost just wish I would've prepared him better for this doggy world. He would've had more fun with other doggos
What you're describing as weird reactions from e-collar training could very well just be quirky behavior because he's part border collie. Our dog used to act very similarly and it wasn't from any damage. They can just get really stuck in their heads, but they do learn quickly. Bubbles did great!
Any tips? My Border Collie loves the dogpark and can play with so much different sort of dogs. And then randomly he snapped at another male Sheba Inu. He is 8 months and definitely a nervous typical Border Collie...
The twitch may not be fear but rather him just being sooo stimulated like electricity
Prince is one of the smartest dog i have ever seen!!
My dog has one female dog in the neighbourhood that she hates. This video is so helpful. Thank you, Joel
Hi, I have a 5 year old lab mix who reacts to dogs the same way as bubles does. It took me one whole year 😅 but I figured out that what trigers him is the amount of energy that the other dog shows and it might be the case with bubles too. Both of the females in the video are quiet excited too interact with him, thay paied lots of etention to him and thayre energy was very playfull which I think overwalmed bubles. Princ on the other hand was friendly but mostly calm and confident. That I think is what make bubles feel like he can trust him. Sorry for my grammer I'm Czech 😄. I love your content, it taught me some things that realy helped me with training my dog. Maya ❤
This is such an interesting case. You don't see many scenarios like this often.
The best vid! From looking as tightly strung as a violin string about to snap to play bows and ear licking! Aww!
Great video man dang so smart to put the muzzle on too he was stiff and had almost no positive action with the first female dog through the fence
Yes. I also have a border collie mix who was attacked a couple times at a very young age and has been cautious and reactive towards dogs since. No e-collar traing. I think that has more to do with this dogs reactions than anything. You can see in his body language that he is on guard as soon as he sees another dog. Mine is the same way, but doesn't attack. Just stiff and staring and cautious. she's actually ultra submissive when she actually meets dogs. So it's not dominance. It's fear/caution. We get accused of undersocializing all the time too. But she only acts unsocialized because she's cautious and defensive
Great trainer! He shouted at bubbles before he jumped the other dog, read the signs perfectly, awesome to watch
I love Prince. Love the way he walks !!! Like he knows he's the shit and he's not phased much by the other dog's. He's super chill UNTIL....he needs to check them. He just has so much self control. He's awesome. Team Prince !!! He's A sexy dog and I think he knows it.
As a dog trainer myself I always laugh when people say dogs are unpredictable because animals give you MANY signs as to why they act before they act, many people either don’t notice or the event happens way too fast for them to even realize the dog gave any signs. You could tell with the first dog that Bubbles at the fence was a bit fearful & on edge, he was curious when the black lab was quiet but as soon as the black lab started squealing he wanted no part. Bubbles seems to also not focus on his owner nearly as much as he should, a good tip would be for the own to practice eye contact training with Bubbles, it helps with most things but especially when dogs start getting to that panicky off the handle red zone because it gives them something to focus on & that something is someone they trust that makes them feel safe therefore it typically helps calm a dog down.
Or people just don’t know about the signs. It isn’t always obvious to people what certain signs mean. Like how a tail wag automatically means a dog is happy, when it’s not the case
"As a dog trainer myself I always laugh when people say dogs are unpredictable because animals give you MANY signs as to why they act before they act", while that may be true, if every human understood the language of canines, wouldn't that render your job pointless. What is your end goal here? Talking yourself out of a job, i think the dogs smarter than you are.
Thank you for providing these videos. I’m going to try the technique with my dog
"Dude! That's a lotta water, Man" 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️ Awesome client I could tell right away he watched ur vids!! I would love to have some slo-mo moments in there for example I had to watch 3 times the segment to finally see they both playbowed at the same time. Also at the gate I think it would be good to explain again the body language specific like "Dog looks bad cuz stiff body, high-held unwagging tail, ears forward" I just knew cuz ur other vids but it might be good to explain in case it's somebody's first time watching. Anyway, u fantastic!!! Thank you for opening ur mind so we can see how u think about all these things🤗🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️
OMG! My Border Collie mixed was named Bubbles. Wow, memories came flooding back. I miss her!
That dog just needed to realize he’s not going to get shocked anymore, petting prince gave him confirmation above all the other work done, that there wouldn’t be a shock.
It ended right at the perfect part LOL I'm ready for part 2
Part 2! Part 2! Part 2! 😆 loving this!
I'm so damn impressed that Joel started yelling for him not to start something with Kiki, before Bubbles even so much as growled. When he did that, I was like "yo, how'd he catch that shit?!" Had to rewatch a couple times 😅
1st time watching this, when Prince pee's on the fence told the dog, "bro, names Prince and this is ALL mine and you my guest" which put the other dog in check imo
I wouldn't blame the e-collar for this behavior, but the inproper use of it. Even if the owner hasn't mentioned the e-collar, the way he behaves does look like insecurity /dominance. And maybe e-collar worked on some things, but haven't dealt with the main issue, too.
But that being said, feels like e-collar was used incorrectly and the dog wasn't proofed properly. For example, when Bubbles was sniffing, probably the e-collar was used at that moment, making him more tense. So probably he was supposed to be conditioned to a recall whenever he over sniffs a dog, but it was used more as a correction and what the dog registered was that dogs that he feels very curious about could be dangerous.
Wow…Prince really loading up his super soaker.
That was the longest drink ever.
Great video, really interesting...looking forward to part 2
I've spoken on your other video about my big Irish wolfhound Remus. Same we have a little pitbut he doesn't mind at all loves him same our females
Love all your video but I have to ask you . How in the world did you spin on top of that whale ? Or what ever that was that came out of the water ? That was the coolest thing I have ever seen . Awesome!!!! Been dying to ask please post something and tell us. Keep those great videos coming😀
I always look for that part too and try to figure out how he got momentum to spin while coming out if the water I think?
11:47 Now I have to say your videos are awesome, but Griffin with this smile nailed it here 😂
18:57 *prince drinks 10 gallons* “dude! That’s a lot of water man”
As the seconds ticked by I was wondering if Prince was intentionally trying to lengthen the video time 🤣🤣🤣
been watching all your videos and SUPER helpful, thank you! your training has gotten our foster pitbull in excellent shape and successfully off to a new loving family. however, our own dogs are more an issue--8yo french bulldog who has IVDD (was paralyzed for 2wks a year ago) is very reactive and aggressive towards other dogs. how do we do correction if we can't use corrective leashes due to his medical condition? thanks!
I need the part 2!!
Wow. This video right here🤌. My friend has a 3 year old German shepherd that acts just like that. I don’t know how honest the kid in the video is being but my friends German shepherd had e collar training, and was extremely deprived from socialization with other dogs. You throw a muzzle on him and try to introduce him to new dogs he does the same thing. He’ll even be quiet until they come thru the fence then start going crazy and attacking. Looks like I have to give my friend some tuff love
I love these two videos. Thank you so much for all the commentary. The owner mentioned that some labs in the neighborhood have been causing trouble. I think that's the trigger for bubbles with Kiki. What a great video!
I am making my way through your videos to educate myself. We are adopting a 4yo German Shepard. She is fixed and super sweet. We also have a mix that we rescued. She (mia) is super nervous, flighty but does well with other dogs. Mia is also very sweet. Sophie (the German Shepard) came to our home for the night to see how she did. Over all A+ but the two dogs interaction was C-. No fighting but if Mia runs, Sophie turns into pursue mode. First meeting had some “chomping” at mia. Some lunging but it ended well. My biggest concern is Sophie doesn’t yet know that mia isn’t a threat to us and will try to protect us ending in Mia getting hurt. Any tips?
I have a 7month Chow Chow who is reactive to other dogs, male or female, big or small, old or young, doesn’t matter to him. He’s done this since he’s 5 months and got startled when a big, but gentle black Labrador sniffed him from behind. He’s a sweetheart to people, but a apprehensive and reactive around other dogs. When they try to approach him he wil snap at them. But, some dogs he likes and then he can play with them off leash, but we only do this with a trainer around and dogs we know he’s ok with. On a walk, however, he’s really reactive and flips out when he sees another dog.
Great video, looking forward to part 2!
I'm really surprised he's a collie / aussie mix. He's a replica of my dog who is a canaan cross (hence the tail curl upwards). His behaviour is also very similar and we have to manage his dog meets very carefully. Normally first instinct can be defensive / snap but we also use a muzzle now to manage those which works well and he soon comes round to being friends. I think the reason he didn't kick off with Prince was simply because Joel had the leash more than anything else..for me the most important thing the dog needs is leadership. On the ecollar topic.. I find its great to manage recall which allows him to get off the leash which is great. I probably agree it can be problematic if used when meeting other dogs. I bet he's a great dog at home, just seems to be some fear / confusion going on. He will be great in time.
Bubbles loved prince by the end of the session ! You’ll see in part 2 it’s very surprising
@@ethanm2376 that's awesome. Again.. so similar to my dog. Once he gets to know the dog he's great. It just managing that first initial meeting that can be the problem. And we don't get to be in the same controlled environment all the time unfortunately. Good luck buddy
Not going to lie but I clapped when Bubbles started playing with prince. What a moment.
Joel, thank you for this video! My bc intact male is totally alike in behaviour to Bubbles, he has been also attacked, he is also mostly good through fences, he is also behaving defencevely and switches from I don't like you,stay away to i will kill you in a milseconds.. never used the e-colar/shock collar on him or similar aids. He grew up around a beautiful bunch of dogs ( mainly males), and from what i see now and how he behaves with males, it's the intact males, or dogs who are staring at him..such as pugs, Frenchie etc.. he just go for them immediately... So i am so greatfull for this video.and the following parts too! Since he switched, he mainly plays with females, and neutered males who doesn't provoke him.. but i am absorbing every single word you say and move you do and hope one day we will get to the point when he will tolerate them without reacting.. he is a marker too 😅. Good luck to Bubbles! He is so lucky that he had the chance to meet you and the great pups there! Wishing everyone with reactive dogs the luck of Bubbles! 🤞🙂
This is 💯 my border collie's behavior. I know exactly when he's going to snap for no reason. Will be watching part 2.
He "accepted" prince because he wasnt excited
This is my dog to a T. He's a border collie mix. His behavior with dogs is all over the place - annoyingly affectionate, giving the border collie stare, growling/barking, lunging, and trying to run away... or normal and friendly. I haven't been able to figure out why because it's not consistent with the other dog's size or sex.
Now I'm wondering if he is taking his cues from my greetings, at least in part. He has been friendliest to my friends' and family's dogs. He also goes to doggie daycare and he does well there despite meeting unfamiliar dogs. I'll have to find a way to test my theory.
I think this is the channel that kept me from collar training. Yea maybe it can work but I don’t want to take a chance.
what a cliffhanger! Can't wait for part 2!
Another great Video Happy Sunday to all of you💪
The owner is handling it so well:) Bubbles looks cute and im really curious what makes him snap? 🤔🤔
Thanks! I’m curious too he’s a tough one to figure out.
@@ethanm2376 based on his mix, he is likely crazy smart, driven and capable of tons. He's probably a ridiculous amount of fun and once you work out this thing he's got going on, you can go back to having a blast with him.
@@asp1213 we still make sure to have a blast even while working through these issues :).
@@ethanm2376 totally agree with you on that!
