100% agreed that "Drop It" or "Leave It" is so important thing. I trained this to my Beagle puppy since she was 2 months old everytime we played tug war. I held both of the end of rope down, stay still and said "drop it" with a low tone. After she released the rope and sit down i gave her a treat, praised her, gave the rope back and continued playing with her. Now she's 5 months old and everytimes she took unwanted things into her mouth, she will immediatelly release it and sit down when i said "drop it" even without any treats, only praise 😍
Another perfectly timed video for my dog, after being good for weeks now, he managed to time a pull perfectly and got free to chase something and then wanted to play catch me if you can instead of coming on que. Hard headed dogs are so relatable to mine.
Yes sir!!! This works with my 16 month old GSD Luna. Literally just came in from doing some training in the back yard. I called her to come and she didn’t. I went to get her and told her to “sit” which she did and I went and got her and brought her back to where I was. I let her sit for a few seconds then gave her the free command. I called her again, she came directly to me! This stuff works.
Thanks, Joel. "Drop it!" is important -- all part of the dog recognizing, and acknowledging, that you are the boss. Also, there's even the consideration that obeying the "drop it" command could potentially save the dog's life.
I taught my dog drop it when he was a puppy by saying "drop it" everytime he released something from his mouth and made it a super fun and exciting thing. Thankfully I don’t have to use the go get method for dropping, but using it for staying and recall was a livesaver!
That was a relief hearing you say that the dog just doesn't listen. I feel better about chasing mine to make her. My puppy understands but just doesn't want to listen. She's 60 lbs, 20 lbs bigger than I thought she'd be. She's 6 1/2 mos. and she doesn't care about treats. I started giving her corrections. Gentle ones at first when walking she just doesn't care. Her new collar is coming, if it doesn't work I can convert it into a gentle leader. She wants to play with every dog or person she sees and started lunging again. Perfect indoor behavior, won't run out the front door. I learned that from you. Thanks for everything I broke my ankle and had a cast on for 2 weeks. Your videos helped me learn to train to avoid possible problems in the future.🙏See you on Patreon.
Thanks Joel! I literally just came inside after having to trudge to the back fence for a 'go get' after a failed recall. I know why some people don't follow through on the method! Lol But I also completely understand why it's so important. Appreciate these videos so much! The patreon is awesome too, so glad I joined.
Thanks for another Great lesson Joel! This evening i practiced the stay command with my ADB ( -he doesnt like to "stay" when i go far away from him) Consistency and to show him that i really mean business is the key!, -when he broke the command i firmly grabed him by the collar and went back the 150yards (up a small mountain!) 4th time he got it! And i wont be going to the gym tonight! 😂 Your teaching makes such a huge difference! Keep it up!!! Many Thanks from Sweden! //Chris
Man, the end really motivated me to like, comment and subscribe! I love this channel you’re awesome man, I’ve learned so much from you! My 9 week old puppy is already a saint thanks partly to you!
Thank you Joel! My sweet 5 month old Golden Retriever is a grass eater/chewer ... in Florida our St. Augustine grass has fun runners to pull on ... I don't want this puppy to unravel my yard!
I used your method on my 5 months old dog and now she comes to me whenever i call to her! U don't wanna know the evil looks people gave me at the beginning when i'd go get here and bring her to the spot where i called out to her 😂😂😂Thank U for your content,it really changed my dog only for the better in so many ways❤
I believe that "Drop It" and "Sit" "Stay" "Come" are the most important lessons that a dog should learn, we tought all 5 of our doggies. Thank you for a great video.
@@rotten2209 I think it would be impossible for a dog not to put something in his mouth when he wasn't suppose to unless he has professional training or someone that has training to teach a dog. But if you trained your dog not to pick up something great job. But I work 60hrs 6 days a week doing home health care. When I'm not working, I'm home taking care of my family and flipping furniture to extra money because my husband lost his job because of a plandemic so I don't have the time to teach 5 dogs to "leave it" and don't feel as if it's important but more power to you and it's awesome that your dog is trained perfectly. For now we have a freedom of choice to how we train our fur babies.
Love this video! More physical action. I like to see you in action like this more. It's more of a raw feed that's all. Keep up the good work! I watch your videos everytime it's out! Love your methods!
Try that "drop it" with a young Jack Russel. You will be fooled around the whole day 😁 same or even worse with the "go get" method 🤣 would love to see a video how Joel approaches a Jack Russel though 😊
Thank you for validating what we also taught to my two dogs (drop it and recall) It's so sad that out there, too many people spoiled their dogs and thought correction is mean, while it is needed for discipline But then again, discipline is what (human) kids nowadays are lacking of and parents don't care about 😔
I have a stubborn Great Pyrenees. Using your method, I have finally convinced him that fighting the neighbor's dog through the fence is not acceptable. Even though the neighbor thinks the dog fight is funny. Recall is really hard. He has way too much energy to run very far away (5 acres) if he doesn't want to come when called. I won't give up. Maybe if I confined him in a smaller space, (the chicken yard might work) I would have a better chance to go get him and imprint on his mind that I mean what I say.
Thanks Joel, can totally relate to hard headed pup. He ended up completely submitting to you so that was good. We’ve definitely done the same process with our now 1y/o . But he still would get in that mode, at this point the only thing that changed his behavior is having the E collar on him . You can see that he wants to get in that mode, however he ends up self checking himself . We’ll keep this on him for a few weeks and see if it RE shapes his behavior. True test no E collar in a few weeks . 🐶
GO GET method works. First 11 months, I was having to get up and go get my dog to get something out of her mouth. Now she voluntarily brings things to me. 😂 She gives them to me very gently & willingly. Once in a while she wants to keep the thing, but if I say"bring me that", she does. She won't do this for my husband tho. He never got up to go get her. 😏 She knows I don't play like that.
I learned from a dog trainer to after a direction like “sit” (you taught sit already) if ur dog doesn’t do what you ask just firmly say “no” - not w/anger or exasperation just firmness. Don’t repeat the word like sit. Just say “no” Wait, look at them expecting to follow your idea, follow w/a no again if needed. Taught me my dog knew really well what I meant & that was a light bulb for me. Builds nonverbal rapport & listening to YOU. Saying “sit” etc. a lot was like my dog couldn’t understand me, over the idea. But no she knew a lot & what I wanted. Just not on my agenda. ; ) Helped so much! At least w/my dog worked like a charm. Love JB videos. TY!
Huh? Say and repeat "NO" when the dog doesn't do what you want but is not actually doing anything. You don't want a dog to guess what you want it to do. You want them to understand exactly what you want it to do. So saying NO (after "drop it") would have stopped this dog from running away from Joel and got him to drop the stick while off leash? Nonsense or... NO!
@@rotten2209 It’s been a calm approach after a pup has learned something. Was an insight for us from a prof. trainer where we learned it. (VCR vid yrs ago) It’s a not angry, not forceful, just a very calm gentle “no” after we ask for a learned behavior. Maybe there’s telepathy involved😉 & maybe not for hard headed won’t drop pups. Didn’t share for this exact video. Just sharing. No need to try it. Love JB’s generous videos ~ TY!
Having had brothers who took stuff just to get me to pursue and get it back, I had good training for the go get method. I never pull something from the dogs mouth, ( tug of war) but they are not moving an inch until they turn loose of it, and if I have to hold the hinge on their jaw to persuade them to open their mouth, then the next time I say drop it, they know they will be dropping it, so they might as well do it without the inevitable dance that will follow until they do. I always praise when it's no longer in their mouth, then show them something that is appropriate to chewon/play with. They never think they were rewarded for picking stuff up, because it's never a trade. There is plenty of time between the drop it, and the " chew on this" training. Drop it becomes as automatic as sit command. I love Joel's training technique
Hi Joel. Thank you for making these videos! I have been binge-watching them since I have discovered your channel and shared it with others. I adopted a sweet 7-year old husky this year and he does not have any of the issues (aggression, fear etc) covered in your videos. But what I have learned from your videos is what is and is not acceptable dog play, general dog mentality, being consistent with discipline, what signs to look out for other dogs and my own. We recently let him off-leash on our walks and he behaviours well. Sometimes he can get distracted and keep wandering off, I used the "pop" method and 2 days later, he is now more aware of me (when I stop, he stops). It was difficult at first because he wasn't used to us being rough/physical with him but he learned quickly. Question: When doing the "go get" method, you catch them and they roll over, tail wagging and still smiling, how do you interpret that? What other signs should I look out for? What should you do in that situation? Have they learned that they did something wrong? I noticed in the video you put your hand on his neck then let him go. Question: How often is too often when using the go get method? If it is too often, should I go back to long-line recall practice? Sometimes at the dog park, he will continue following the other dog after they have left and he won't follow me so I do the go get method. It's roughly 1 go-get /hr we're at the park but when he is tired, he listens and follows better.
Please do more videos on dogs who are aggressive towards people! I have a 5 month old who barks and growls and will bite if someone tries to pet him. He freaks out and won’t let anyone near him.
LOL my 5 month old puppy learned wayyy before I realized what was happening that she could go find a stick and bring it to me for a treat after training drop it with treats 😂 whoops
@@m.s7425 she’d just walk over and plop down a stick or rock in front of me and stare at me like “here, treat now please” I had a whole bucket of things she’d collected in no time! I have a super cute video of it that I sent to me trainer with a note that, uhhh…we needed some refinement lmao so I started cueing “trade” when she brought me things, and “drop it” (without treats!) when she had to release something that wasn’t a trade 🤷♀️
@@mmcreads My dog is starting to do this too. She intentionally will grab socks from the laundry hamper bc she knows I will say “drop it” and then put them down in front of me with a face like, now give me my treat 😂 If I just praise without a treat she will jump up and start sniffing my hands and pockets. I’m getting shook down by my own dog now 🤣 Definitely needing some tips to correct this behavior quickly!
@@tarrynthedoula my dog is now refusing to sit in the elevator even though she knows how...unless i bring treats. I am now trying to conditioning elevator sitting to the prong
Absolutely agreed with that method. Have practised it with all my dogs...it may save their lifes one day...all kinds of things in this world discarded by humans that dont make goid toys👍👍
Hey, Joel. Thanks, as always for your content. Two things. First - question - is the pursuit training “the game of it”? Making it fun for the dog to get you to chase him? Second - what if they become aggressive? If I was to do that with my dog, even over a stick, I’d get bit. Taking her tomorrow to a behaviorist, but would love to hear your thoughts.
I would love to know the response to this because I do follow the pursuit and tone approach, but she keeps doing it and grows as I take it out of her mouth. She used to show teeth, but doesn't do that anymore.
If you have the body language and boss attitude he has then your dog will NOT think it is fun. Do the out the door leash walking training that he teaches to remind your dog you are boss. Doing that training corrected so many of my dogs issues, and I think it will work for you too. Good luck
Luke acts like my dog 🤣 except she is a 18Ib shiba inu. The go get method has definitely helped with more than just recall with her. Right now we are moving around a bit. She thought rules don't apply anymore but a couple reminders and pursuing for those different situations like jumping onto furniture and "stealing" has helped if not solved the problems.
Hello! Finally something I can compare my dog to. And you give detailed explanations! My problem is that sometimes I hunt for her soo long that I'm not sure if the grounding is still effective.
I was always firm, like this (never ever cruel!) with my dogs, and I worked. Then I employed all-positive training. And didn't work. Now I'm serious again. Clear.
Hi Joel, love your videos. I am using your methods to train my 2 german shepard puppies. Do you have a video you have made to teach "drop It" from the beginning (puppies). My pups are 5 months old. Thank you
Nice to see this! I Think people give up to easy on this stuff, One of my fathers dog have this tendency on recall to just stop and stare at you, like They freeze on spot until you are 1-2m away from them and then They start this kind of behaviour but more in a playfull way its very anonying … Thanks for the video Joel, informative, no bs and in a way little funny cause i now the feeling of chasing down your dog 😂 but you sure need to do it!
Hellooooo! I have a question. My dog when he plays with other dogs tends to bark at them. Not in an aggressive way. I think he wants to make them run in order to chase them (he prefers to chase dogs rather than being chased). Also he is a mix breed probably border collie and English setter. Maybe its instinctual? Like herding? He hae never had a fight with another dog even when other dogs have attacked him. He is 9 years old and not socialised very well. Thank you in advance!
@SmokingHotNeedles haha yep get used to it. Tbf Bruce done it a lot around 12 weeks then stopped for a while and started again recently as he’s hit peak teething he’s about 5 and half months atm. So hopefully it will go away again but he definitely thinks it’s a game I don’t want him to start getting them on purpose to be chased so I’ll need to start being a bit sterner with him.
@@m.s7425 im informing myself about dog training and dog trainers for 3 years now 3-10 hours a day, every day. watched alot of vids, read a lot of books/articles and most important im training with dogs too. im focusing on the body language and communication. want to be a professional in 1-2 years when im ready. ive learned a lot under maya nowak (in my opinion the best dog trainer in germany). im from germany so i cant express myself that good, sorry :D
Question my pups hair goes up when he has something he shouldn't have and then trys to run. I grab his collar to aviod futher pursuit, (he picks up smaller items so i physically have to put my hand in his mouth to get it (he locks his jaw to prevent me getting it and he will try close his jaw with my hand in there or nip at me. OR (THROW HIMSELF DOWN...trying to get me ofg his collar).We have a crate so do you think its correct to send him to his crate after this altercation after saying "bad boy no!" Or "Not good listening" then send him to the crate. Please respond just a yes or no will do if you're struck for time.
Hi Joel, love your videos as always. My question is: will this trigger aggression on the long run? The puppy school teaches me to “trade” the item with a valuable snack, but sometimes it just doesn’t work. I have a 13 week old golden retriever and the love to put things in their mouth
The idea is to trade with something that is more valuable to your dog than what they have. Whether it is a game of chase or fetch or a particular food snack. I have a 15 wk old border collie gsd x. Best thing is to manage their environment as best you can so you can control what they have access to.
Don’t know if I have the dogs name right but do you know what breeds “Wappo” is? I have an old dog that we got when I was just 9. I’m 22 now and I always wonder what breeds he is, he looks a lot like your dog.
Can you make a recall method for puppies that run after dogs, i used to be able to excerise my doberman off leash around dogs no problem until he hit 6 months now its just long walks on a leash and it sucks.
This is coincidental, I came to your channel to see if there were any videos with you dealing with Corgis, and in this one, I noticed one in the background. My neighbor/friends just got a Corgi puppy, and as I understand, they're a pretty stubborn breed as well, and I kind of want to try to assist them or offer them suggestions in their training methods.
He suggests that you don’t use Go Get on puppies younger than 9 months. Spend that time just strengthening your bond with them. I can second this approach because I have a 14 week old Sheepadoodle who I hold to a very high standard and I found that when I used the go get method it just broke down the little relationship we had. While he’s a puppy, I’m keeping things positive. I still discipline him when he is out of line but he is a great dog. Potty trained by the third day. You want your puppy to run TO you when they’re scared, you don’t want to be the thing they run away from when they’re scared. Take your time to develop and bond with your puppy, THEN bring in the more harsh discipline like the go get method once your bond is strong and the dog fully understands what you are asking of him
How do you recommend implementing this with prey drive? My 3 year old GSD/lab mix generally has good recall and wants to please, but when she goes after a squirrel it’s like she can’t hear me. She is so engaged with going after prey, I can’t snap her out of it and have to physically get her. I haven’t seen a ton of improvement with this.
watch his videos on loose leash walks. basicly walk your gsd on loose leash and go to where there is lost of squirrel, as soon as you see the ears perk up or your dog focus on one, give the command to come. if your dog doesn't follow quick tug the leash, walk away and restart. if your dog listen to your command you can get closer to the stimuli (squirrel). key is not to give up cause it can take 20 tries before your dog understands what to do and it won't get it's way.
I was thinking about positive reinforcement last night and how and there are some dogs that are almost overly treat/food motivated and In some situations it seems like you lose the opportunity for clear communication and learning for the dog because they are so anxious, eagerly trying to hurry up and get the treat from you. Like the dog is just hyper focused on the treat and that’s all they can think about.
Food motivation can work well in training but yes if it has too high value can be a distraction to the dog. Try using less valuable food. Maybe his kibble or pieces of rice cake or a game of tug for a reward.
joel, i dont know if ur open to new things, but u could try to stand next to him, with the same body language and energy, with a (i dont know whats it called in english) kinda like an interference field and wait what happens. he should drop the toy. then you can stand with ur foot on the toy to tell him ur claiming it now.
i know im late but thank you. i have a doberman (1 1/2 yrs old) drops ball indoor-awesome! fetch, recall, drop- perfect- outdoors- frisbee? fetch- recall no drop- hard headed- you’re right
I have tried this and my dog thinks it’s a game. It sets her off into a frenzy then she starts to dig randomly in the yard. ( she knows she’s in trouble) how can I follow through with the discipline?
I tried to implement this. Most of the time it does not work for me. I have a small space for the dog to run around yet the dog just want to play 'catch me if you can'. I spent 15 minutes doing that and i was very tired and the dog too. Am I suppose to keep doing this? Is the light at the end of the tunnel?
Really need help - my 1yo steals and runs from us. The "chase" results in him frantically eating whatever he's stolen. It's led to dangerous things being ingested and induced vomiting. What has worked is us leaving a trail of high-value food in an attempt to entice him. He'll drop the item, standing guard over it, gobble the treat then re-grab the item. But we can't be too close or he won't go for the treat. We've tried practicing "drop it" and he'll do it in training but not in a real live scenario.
what if she growls at me and is willing to bite over the object; can i still do the collar grab and pull the item? How long will it take for her to be more willing to give me the item? I had that situation today and I got the item but in the past her behavior was a lot worse.
This just reinforces some decisions I've made recently with my 14week old rottie Rowdy. Thank you! I wasn't sure if me kinda chasing him during a pursuit was actually ok. He is on a leash but I thought directly getting him would get the seriousness across better than using the leash. I'm doing my absolute best to have a well behaved rottie because my wife and I have already gotten the "Rottweilers are not trustworthy lecture" and dirty looks from ignorant toy breed owners. Is it wrong to want to teach a growl command to deter nosey karens?
I'm not doing alot with training right now at 14weeks but "leave it", "drop it", and "come" have been used since day 1 with him. Of all my pups, he's been the most hard headed. The word NO makes him defensive but HEY gets me eye contact and then a stern face and simple shake of my head that says "NO" gets the point across. I'm realizing how in tune he is visually as opposed to audibly.
My dog (10 months, Border collie, male) is mostly good with "drop it", but if he gets hold on something he really wants (high value for him) he will growl and bite if I try to force his mouth open. This is the only time he ever shows aggression, but he is a stubborn boy. For now I only get my fingers inside his mouth, and I sit there and stare at him until he releases it by his own will (I will not let go until he lets me take it, no matter how long it takes) Aggression only happens if I try to force his mouth open to get the thing out. How can i solve this, in case it is something that needs to get out asap?
i'm surprised you can keep your fingers in his mouth; mine is like no, get away from my head; it's mine, not yours, and won't calm down until she has fully claimed the item and won or until I own it and discard of it.
I'm currently trying to work on drop it with my puppy. She's a labsky (husky lab mix, my profile pic) She's made of razor teeth and it can be really painful playing fetch with her lol
I'm training recall, and what my dog now does is this: He's laying down when I call him. He raises his head and looks at me. I take a step toward him to get him. THEN he gets up and comes. Is this success because he knows I mean to get him, or a fail because I have to take a step towards him? Thanks
@@BDTraining Thank you so much! I had no idea ! He's my first dog; just turned 19 months. He still has a bit of fear (believe it or not of the tiled areas of our home) but other than that is such a gentleman and learns so fast.
You can try to condition him to a collar grab by offering a treat and at same time lightly touching collar. Keep doing til he will accept your hand on his collar for several seconds.
Consistently meaning business when I expect my dog to do or not do something. Don’t just do it…do it all day and every day. Invest up front pays dividends in the future.
Whilst I’m very much in favour of reward based training there are times when your dog does not respond to the lure of a treat. Dropping stuff can be like a game to them more exciting than a treat. They need to know you’re serious. My pup loves snail hunting. Obviously they carry parasites so I need to get her to drop them on command with no evasions. By relentlessly pursuing her she will now eventually roll over submissively and then drop the snail. Then I pop a treat into her mouth and make a fuss.
Hey man, legit big fan of the channel. As someone around your age, I have to let you know -- for you sake -- the hat's not a good look. It just looks a bit childish on you.
Not really a training method. Sort of a what you might do if you haven’t actually done any successful training with recall or drop it. Just engages in a game of “keep away” with the dog. Even the other dogs are calling him out on it.

I held both of the end of rope down, stay still and said "drop it" with a low tone.

Hi Joel, nothing wrong with consistent discipline. Consistent discipline goes a long long way. Keep up the good work.
Yes sir!!! This works with my 16 month old GSD Luna. Literally just came in from doing some training in the back yard. I called her to come and she didn’t. I went to get her and told her to “sit” which she did and I went and got her and brought her back to where I was. I let her sit for a few seconds then gave her the free command. I called her again, she came directly to me! This stuff works.
Thanks, Joel. "Drop it!" is important -- all part of the dog recognizing, and acknowledging, that you are the boss. Also, there's even the consideration

That was a relief hearing you say that the dog just doesn't listen. I feel better about chasing mine to make her. My puppy understands but just doesn't want to listen.

It's so sad that out there, too many people spoiled their dogs and thought correction is mean, while it is needed for discipline
But then again, discipline is what (human) kids nowadays are lacking of and parents don't care about 😔
You do it and it works. Persistence pays off. Thank you
Perfect as usual❤️
I have to tech my dogs the go get me the remote method
You totally could. Love the videos of the dogs going to the fridge for their owners. Dogs need jobs😎
Wow
We were just talking about uping our game on this
Nice
Thanks always Beckman 🐾✨
I have a stubborn Great Pyrenees. Using your method, I have finally convinced him that fighting the neighbor's dog through the fence is not acceptable. Even though the neighbor thinks the dog fight is funny. Recall is really hard. He has way too much energy to run very far away (5 acres) if he doesn't want to come when called. I won't give up. Maybe if I confined him in a smaller space, (the chicken yard might work) I would have a better chance to go get him and imprint on his mind that I mean what I say.
I'm here for this!! ❤️❤️
You are awesome my friend, thank you for all your good ideas
Great video, great advice, thanks
Well done! Thanks for another video!
Oh my gosh! I used to do this with my dominant dog when he ignored me. Now I know it's a "real" training method. Thanks!
wow, definitely a stubborn dog!! Great job working through his issues and helping us all out with our similar problems.
Thanks Joel, can totally relate to hard headed pup. He ended up completely submitting to you so that was good. We’ve definitely done the same process with our now 1y/o . But he still would get in that mode, at this point the only thing that changed his behavior is having the E collar on him . You can see that he wants to get in that mode, however he ends up self checking himself . We’ll keep this on him for a few weeks and see if it RE shapes his behavior. True test no E collar in a few weeks . 🐶
Great video
Absolutely EXECELLENT...
GO GET method works. First 11 months, I was having to get up and go get my dog to get something out of her mouth. Now she voluntarily brings things to me. 😂 She gives them to me very gently & willingly. Once in a while she wants to keep the thing, but if I say"bring me that", she does. She won't do this for my husband tho. He never got up to go get her. 😏 She knows I don't play like that.
She's just now a year old.
Welcome to the world of owning a Pyrenees.
Absolutely right !!
Thank you, once again
I learned from a dog trainer to after a direction like “sit” (you taught sit already) if ur dog doesn’t do what you ask just firmly say “no” - not w/anger or exasperation just firmness. Don’t repeat the word like sit. Just say “no” Wait, look at them expecting to follow your idea, follow w/a no again if needed. Taught me my dog knew really well what I meant & that was a light bulb for me. Builds nonverbal rapport & listening to YOU. Saying “sit” etc. a lot was like my dog couldn’t understand me, over the idea. But no she knew a lot & what I wanted. Just not on my agenda. ; ) Helped so much! At least w/my dog worked like a charm. Love JB videos. TY!
Huh? Say and repeat "NO" when the dog doesn't do what you want but is not actually doing anything.
You don't want a dog to guess what you want it to do. You want them to understand exactly what you want it to do.
So saying NO (after "drop it") would have stopped this dog from running away from Joel and got him to drop the stick while off leash? Nonsense or...
NO!
@@rotten2209 It’s been a calm approach after a pup has learned something. Was an insight for us from a prof. trainer where we learned it. (VCR vid yrs ago) It’s a not angry, not forceful, just a very calm gentle “no” after we ask for a learned behavior. Maybe there’s telepathy involved😉 & maybe not for hard headed won’t drop pups. Didn’t share for this exact video. Just sharing. No need to try it. Love JB’s generous videos ~ TY!
Having had brothers who took stuff just to get me to pursue and get it back, I had good training for the go get method. I never pull something from the dogs mouth, ( tug of war) but they are not moving an inch until they turn loose of it, and if I have to hold the hinge on their jaw to persuade them to open their mouth, then the next time I say drop it, they know they will be dropping it, so they might as well do it without the inevitable dance that will follow until they do. I always praise when it's no longer in their mouth, then show them something that is appropriate to chewon/play with. They never think they were rewarded for picking stuff up, because it's never a trade. There is plenty of time between the drop it, and the " chew on this" training. Drop it becomes as automatic as sit command. I love Joel's training technique
Hi Joel. Thank you for making these videos! I have been binge-watching them since I have discovered your channel and shared it with others.
I adopted a sweet 7-year old husky this year and he does not have any of the issues (aggression, fear etc) covered in your videos. But what I have learned from your videos is what is and is not acceptable dog play, general dog mentality, being consistent with discipline, what signs to look out for other dogs and my own.
We recently let him off-leash on our walks and he behaviours well. Sometimes he can get distracted and keep wandering off, I used the "pop" method and 2 days later, he is now more aware of me (when I stop, he stops). It was difficult at first because he wasn't used to us being rough/physical with him but he learned quickly.
Question: When doing the "go get" method, you catch them and they roll over, tail wagging and still smiling, how do you interpret that? What other signs should I look out for? What should you do in that situation? Have they learned that they did something wrong? I noticed in the video you put your hand on his neck then let him go.
Question: How often is too often when using the go get method? If it is too often, should I go back to long-line recall practice? Sometimes at the dog park, he will continue following the other dog after they have left and he won't follow me so I do the go get method. It's roughly 1 go-get /hr we're at the park but when he is tired, he listens and follows better.
Please do more videos on dogs who are aggressive towards people! I have a 5 month old who barks and growls and will bite if someone tries to pet him. He freaks out and won’t let anyone near him.
LOL my 5 month old puppy learned wayyy before I realized what was happening that she could go find a stick and bring it to me for a treat after training drop it with treats 😂 whoops
😂
@@m.s7425 she’d just walk over and plop down a stick or rock in front of me and stare at me like “here, treat now please” I had a whole bucket of things she’d collected in no time! I have a super cute video of it that I sent to me trainer with a note that, uhhh…we needed some refinement lmao so I started cueing “trade” when she brought me things, and “drop it” (without treats!) when she had to release something that wasn’t a trade 🤷♀️
@@mmcreads My dog is starting to do this too. She intentionally will grab socks from the laundry hamper bc she knows I will say “drop it” and then put them down in front of me with a face like, now give me my treat 😂 If I just praise without a treat she will jump up and start sniffing my hands and pockets. I’m getting shook down by my own dog now 🤣 Definitely needing some tips to correct this behavior quickly!
@@tarrynthedoula my dog is now refusing to sit in the elevator even though she knows how...unless i bring treats. I am now trying to conditioning elevator sitting to the prong
Absolutely agreed with that method. Have practised it with all my dogs...it may save their lifes one day...all kinds of things in this world discarded by humans that dont make goid toys👍👍
Hey, Joel. Thanks, as always for your content. Two things. First - question - is the pursuit training “the game of it”? Making it fun for the dog to get you to chase him? Second - what if they become aggressive? If I was to do that with my dog, even over a stick, I’d get bit.
Taking her tomorrow to a behaviorist, but would love to hear your thoughts.
Yes I’d like to second this Joel
I would love to know the response to this because I do follow the pursuit and tone approach, but she keeps doing it and grows as I take it out of her mouth. She used to show teeth, but doesn't do that anymore.
If you have the body language and boss attitude he has then your dog will NOT think it is fun. Do the out the door leash walking training that he teaches to remind your dog you are boss. Doing that training corrected so many of my dogs issues, and I think it will work for you too. Good luck
@@annarborthenorris5455what is the out-the-door-leash-walking-training that fixed all your dogs’ issues?
Luke looks and behaves very much like my pyrenees...
Luke acts like my dog 🤣 except she is a 18Ib shiba inu. The go get method has definitely helped with more than just recall with her. Right now we are moving around a bit. She thought rules don't apply anymore but a couple reminders and pursuing for those different situations like jumping onto furniture and "stealing" has helped if not solved the problems.
Hello! Finally something I can compare my dog to. And you give detailed explanations! My problem is that sometimes I hunt for her soo long that I'm not sure if the grounding is still effective.
Well done
My one year old Weimaraner is VERY hard headed. Everyday is a test. And every day I have to show up.
I was always firm, like this (never ever cruel!) with my dogs, and I worked. Then I employed all-positive training. And didn't work. Now I'm serious again. Clear.
I like your system strikt but justified
Hi Joel, love your videos. I am using your methods to train my 2 german shepard puppies. Do you have a video you have made to teach "drop It" from the beginning (puppies). My pups are 5 months old. Thank you
Nice to see this! I Think people give up to easy on this stuff, One of my fathers dog have this tendency on recall to just stop and stare at you, like They freeze on spot until you are 1-2m away from them and then They start this kind of behaviour but more in a playfull way its very anonying …
Thanks for the video Joel, informative, no bs and in a way little funny cause i now the feeling of chasing down your dog 😂 but you sure need to do it!
Hellooooo! I have a question. My dog when he plays with other dogs tends to bark at them. Not in an aggressive way. I think he wants to make them run in order to chase them (he prefers to chase dogs rather than being chased). Also he is a mix breed probably border collie and English setter. Maybe its instinctual? Like herding? He hae never had a fight with another dog even when other dogs have attacked him. He is 9 years old and not socialised very well. Thank you in advance!
This is me constantly taking stones out my puppy mouth
@SmokingHotNeedles haha yep get used to it. Tbf Bruce done it a lot around 12 weeks then stopped for a while and started again recently as he’s hit peak teething he’s about 5 and half months atm. So hopefully it will go away again but he definitely thinks it’s a game I don’t want him to start getting them on purpose to be chased so I’ll need to start being a bit sterner with him.
quapo (i didnt get his name). the dog who barked was barking cause he didnt like the high energy, respectively the running. thats why he barked
How do you know?
@@m.s7425 im informing myself about dog training and dog trainers for 3 years now 3-10 hours a day, every day. watched alot of vids, read a lot of books/articles and most important im training with dogs too.
im focusing on the body language and communication. want to be a professional in 1-2 years when im ready. ive learned a lot under maya nowak (in my opinion the best dog trainer in germany). im from germany so i cant express myself that good, sorry :D
Is Luke a great pyrenees mix? Our GP mix is hard headed just like this.
Very funny! hahahahaa. But we get the idea.
Question my pups hair goes up when he has something he shouldn't have and then trys to run. I grab his collar to aviod futher pursuit, (he picks up smaller items so i physically have to put my hand in his mouth to get it (he locks his jaw to prevent me getting it and he will try close his jaw with my hand in there or nip at me. OR (THROW HIMSELF DOWN...trying to get me ofg his collar).We have a crate so do you think its correct to send him to his crate after this altercation after saying "bad boy no!" Or "Not good listening" then send him to the crate.
Please respond just a yes or no will do if you're struck for time.
Hi Joel, love your videos as always. My question is: will this trigger aggression on the long run? The puppy school teaches me to “trade” the item with a valuable snack, but sometimes it just doesn’t work. I have a 13 week old golden retriever and the love to put things in their mouth
The idea is to trade with something that is more valuable to your dog than what they have. Whether it is a game of chase or fetch or a particular food snack. I have a 15 wk old border collie gsd x. Best thing is to manage their environment as best you can so you can control what they have access to.
mine will eat the item in her mouth and grab the treat if she has food in her mouth....slick...
Don’t know if I have the dogs name right but do you know what breeds “Wappo” is? I have an old dog that we got when I was just 9. I’m 22 now and I always wonder what breeds he is, he looks a lot like your dog.
Can you make a recall method for puppies that run after dogs, i used to be able to excerise my doberman off leash around dogs no problem until he hit 6 months now its just long walks on a leash and it sucks.
This is coincidental, I came to your channel to see if there were any videos with you dealing with Corgis, and in this one, I noticed one in the background. My neighbor/friends just got a Corgi puppy, and as I understand, they're a pretty stubborn breed as well, and I kind of want to try to assist them or offer them suggestions in their training methods.
He suggests that you don’t use Go Get on puppies younger than 9 months. Spend that time just strengthening your bond with them. I can second this approach because I have a 14 week old Sheepadoodle who I hold to a very high standard and I found that when I used the go get method it just broke down the little relationship we had. While he’s a puppy, I’m keeping things positive. I still discipline him when he is out of line but he is a great dog. Potty trained by the third day. You want your puppy to run TO you when they’re scared, you don’t want to be the thing they run away from when they’re scared.
Take your time to develop and bond with your puppy, THEN bring in the more harsh discipline like the go get method once your bond is strong and the dog fully understands what you are asking of him
Can you please make more videos with Luke. My 6 month old labrador is just like him!!!!
How do you recommend implementing this with prey drive? My 3 year old GSD/lab mix generally has good recall and wants to please, but when she goes after a squirrel it’s like she can’t hear me. She is so engaged with going after prey, I can’t snap her out of it and have to physically get her. I haven’t seen a ton of improvement with this.
watch his videos on loose leash walks. basicly walk your gsd on loose leash and go to where there is lost of squirrel, as soon as you see the ears perk up or your dog focus on one, give the command to come. if your dog doesn't follow quick tug the leash, walk away and restart. if your dog listen to your command you can get closer to the stimuli (squirrel). key is not to give up cause it can take 20 tries before your dog understands what to do and it won't get it's way.
I was thinking about positive reinforcement last night and how and there are some dogs that are almost overly treat/food motivated and In some situations it seems like you lose the opportunity for clear communication and learning for the dog because they are so anxious, eagerly trying to hurry up and get the treat from you. Like the dog is just hyper focused on the treat and that’s all they can think about.
Food motivation can work well in training but yes if it has too high value can be a distraction to the dog. Try using less valuable food. Maybe his kibble or pieces of rice cake or a game of tug for a reward.
Making your dog sit in certain moments like that really helps. Gets your dog to familiar territory for the conditioned response.
great info ,, however if dog bites when you try to get out of his mouth, what then , thanks
joel, i dont know if ur open to new things, but u could try to stand next to him, with the same body language and energy, with a (i dont know whats it called in english) kinda like an interference field and wait what happens. he should drop the toy. then you can stand with ur foot on the toy to tell him ur claiming it now.
i know im late but thank you. i have a doberman (1 1/2 yrs old) drops ball indoor-awesome! fetch, recall, drop- perfect- outdoors- frisbee? fetch- recall no drop- hard headed- you’re right
I have tried this and my dog thinks it’s a game. It sets her off into a frenzy then she starts to dig randomly in the yard. ( she knows she’s in trouble) how can I follow through with the discipline?
I tried to implement this. Most of the time it does not work for me. I have a small space for the dog to run around yet the dog just want to play 'catch me if you can'. I spent 15 minutes doing that and i was very tired and the dog too. Am I suppose to keep doing this? Is the light at the end of the tunnel?
And no laughing! It needs to be serious so they don't think it's a game.
How do you deal with a puppy that super food dominant
Really need help - my 1yo steals and runs from us. The "chase" results in him frantically eating whatever he's stolen. It's led to dangerous things being ingested and induced vomiting.
What has worked is us leaving a trail of high-value food in an attempt to entice him. He'll drop the item, standing guard over it, gobble the treat then re-grab the item. But we can't be too close or he won't go for the treat.
We've tried practicing "drop it" and he'll do it in training but not in a real live scenario.
That nice but hardheaded dog has to learn that drop it means drop it! We see it happening in this video, thanks to Joel.
what if she growls at me and is willing to bite over the object; can i still do the collar grab and pull the item? How long will it take for her to be more willing to give me the item? I had that situation today and I got the item but in the past her behavior was a lot worse.
👍💪
How did things work out with Astra ?
This just reinforces some decisions I've made recently with my 14week old rottie Rowdy. Thank you! I wasn't sure if me kinda chasing him during a pursuit was actually ok. He is on a leash but I thought directly getting him would get the seriousness across better than using the leash.
I'm doing my absolute best to have a well behaved rottie because my wife and I have already gotten the "Rottweilers are not trustworthy lecture" and dirty looks from ignorant toy breed owners.
Is it wrong to want to teach a growl command to deter nosey karens?
I'm not doing alot with training right now at 14weeks but "leave it", "drop it", and "come" have been used since day 1 with him. Of all my pups, he's been the most hard headed. The word NO makes him defensive but HEY gets me eye contact and then a stern face and simple shake of my head that says "NO" gets the point across. I'm realizing how in tune he is visually as opposed to audibly.
Cool
Mydog will drop 9/ 10 times. However his crack is anything tissue material. He gets SO aggressive and scares the heck out of me. Any advice?
My dog (10 months, Border collie, male) is mostly good with "drop it", but if he gets hold on something he really wants (high value for him) he will growl and bite if I try to force his mouth open. This is the only time he ever shows aggression, but he is a stubborn boy. For now I only get my fingers inside his mouth, and I sit there and stare at him until he releases it by his own will (I will not let go until he lets me take it, no matter how long it takes) Aggression only happens if I try to force his mouth open to get the thing out. How can i solve this, in case it is something that needs to get out asap?
Same experience!
i'm surprised you can keep your fingers in his mouth; mine is like no, get away from my head; it's mine, not yours, and won't calm down until she has fully claimed the item and won or until I own it and discard of it.
When you let the dogs out to run might want to do a couple sprints yourself. 😂 😝
I'm currently trying to work on drop it with my puppy. She's a labsky (husky lab mix, my profile pic) She's made of razor teeth and it can be really painful playing fetch with her lol
I trade a toy for a toy. Now, I have two identical balls for fetch. Still a work in progress. I'm getting a lot of exercise. Lol
That's a fantastic idea, thanks! I'll try it
what if the dog is a resource guarder and bites when you get too close or growls like he's threatening to bite?
I asked the same question!
@@lisag8034 I like this trainer and I am VERY interested to know how he deals with resource guarding. I have been bitten by a guarder a few times..
some dogs would bite your hand when you grab them like that..
Interestingly research shows this type of training teaches resource guarding.
I'm training recall, and what my dog now does is this: He's laying down when I call him. He raises his head and looks at me. I take a step toward him to get him. THEN he gets up and comes. Is this success because he knows I mean to get him, or a fail because I have to take a step towards him? Thanks
Yes this is success! This is what always happens in the middle of the process.
@@BDTraining Thank you so much! I had no idea ! He's my first dog; just turned 19 months. He still has a bit of fear (believe it or not of the tiled areas of our home) but other than that is such a gentleman and learns so fast.
Is that a Pyrenees or a Golden?
Guapo got a little 😳.
My dog always lay down when u catch his collar instead of him sitting. he just collapse down . don't know if that is a good thing
You can try to condition him to a collar grab by offering a treat and at same time lightly touching collar. Keep doing til he will accept your hand on his collar for several seconds.
Paws crossed that you catch your dog in time before they swallow whatever they have in there mouths.
Consistently meaning business when I expect my dog to do or not do something. Don’t just do it…do it all day and every day. Invest up front pays dividends in the future.
i did the go get method. Now my dog is terrified of me. He just freezes up everytime i do it now.
Whilst I’m very much in favour of reward based training there are times when your dog does not respond to the lure of a treat. Dropping stuff can be like a game to them more exciting than a treat. They need to know you’re serious. My pup loves snail hunting. Obviously they carry parasites so I need to get her to drop them on command with no evasions. By relentlessly pursuing her she will now eventually roll over submissively and then drop the snail. Then I pop a treat into her mouth and make a fuss.
My Vizsla used to play cat-and-mouse with me with a piece of trash in her mouth. I’ve chased her down in open parks like 5 times.

Hey man, legit big fan of the channel. As someone around your age, I have to let you know -- for you sake -- the hat's not a good look. It just looks a bit childish on you.
Guapo is saying "hey" in dog language. He saw you pursue & new Luke didn't like that play. My guess.
Not really a training method. Sort of a what you might do if you haven’t actually done any successful training with recall or drop it. Just engages in a game of “keep away” with the dog. Even the other dogs are calling him out on it.
Had to open my big mouth! No no no! Not the to teach “out”.
