God bless this couple for giving this dog another chance at quality of life and not being dissuaded by being the third owners. I feel so badly for the Doberman's unstable and unsocialized history but am super relieved that he didn't go to yet another new owner who had more sympathy than the capability and alpha energy required to handle his issues. It was a thing of beauty to watch that first strong correction from the owner when his dog crashed into their child. I actually cheered! Between Beckman, Prince and this new owner, I have such hope for this Doberman's future.
Thank you for the comment, we are diligently watching all of Joel's videos and following his advice and it is definitely paying off. This dog brought crazy and a ton of love with him, now we just need to be consistent with training, as we are his last owners. The video shows mostly the crazy, but he is a wonderful and smart dog. Neutering him is on the calendar in two weeks :)
@@Lana-hh8oh Thank so much for this update, Lana! I am so encouraged by the commitment to your new family member and appreciate how you are seeing both the present good and future great in him despite the very understandable crazy! I'm so sorry he had to go through two incompatible owners before finding you and your husband, but I have no doubt that you three were always meant for one another. Please keep us posted. We're all now fully invested and rooting for him! ❣
@@Lana-hh8oh i also thank you for taking in an animal who would have been otherwise destroyed. I re-socialize or tame problem cats who would otherwise be destroyed. I take in lost causes too, and try to give them a comfortable last few years of life. Thank you again for adopting an adult dog. There are so many abandoned animals sadly 😢
I feel like this dog would excell at schutzhund or protection sports. Looks to be some Bercheron. Super intense ask for a dog like that to be a house pet 😭
This beautiful Doberman did not have a great start in life, but he certainly hit the lottery when he was adopted by this family. Two years of non-socialization and a strong, willful and dominant personality will take a lot of work but the reward will be an amazing companion in time. The owners are certainly committed to bringing out the best in this dog and I’m sure, with patience and hard work, they’ll be able to get where they want to be with him.
I can't help but see similarities with kids born into disenfranchised rural or urban environments getting cut loose in society... and it's a train wreck. And how much work it takes to unlearn bad behavior that went unchecked because there were no disciplinary governors.
I don't think I have seen a dog successfully turn down that Prince play bow! Hahaha... It's like Prince knows how to take the edge off another dog and just say let's play!!! He was stoked about it and just wants that boy to chase him!! I absolutely love Prince's personality!! What an absolute gem!!
Starting at the 5:56 mark you can almost feel it through the video how much Prince was building up to his play bow! I haven't seen him hop during a play bow like that either! That boy was ready for it! Hahaha..
@@SJane3 apologies, I have only just read your comment after I had posted mine. I TOTALLY agree with you, that sequence building at 5:56 seemed pivotal ? I've worked with kids who've been abused when young and don't KNOW how to "read" play, without going dominant. I could see that same "blank" in that other Dobie at first, so Prince just went full on "BOUNDARIES !" until other Dobie softened just enough for Prince to go, ".........now !" and PL:AY BOW to engage the energy ? Had a tear in my eye on 2nd bow after a softer bark, when other Dobie PLAY BOWS BACK. BINGO !
The owner legit knows a lot more than most people. I wouldn’t have known to get the dog on his side after corrections not working. As good of a trainer as he is it just goes to show how bad off this dog was that even he wasn’t able to get the desired result. But kudos to him for being a natural and admitting he needed some help from Joel/prince combo
What's so great about him, in addition to know what to do when, is how he does it. Always calm, never using any more force than is absolutely needed. He rocks.
Prince is a freaking EXCEPTIONAL dog. He is happy to do his job, he’s responsible, he’s caring, and he loves to be around dogs and people. That is a huge reflection on his upbringing and training and the relationship he has with you! It’s stunning to watch you two. I have a Doberman as well and I have implemented some of the things I’ve seen here as far as how I handle and interact with him to strengthen our relationship. Prince really trusts you and y’all are a great team!
Prince is the zen master of dogs - he is wise, patient, confident, gorgeous, stands tall over all other dogs, and he never hesitates to correct an aggressive dog like a superstar! This is his world and he knows it - he also has the humility to govern his world well and fairly.
Sometimes one of my huskies gets like this at the park with dogs. I always pull him back and give him a minute to chill. They just get "too much" like you said. It's great to see a video that helps me know the steps to take to help my pups be better socially with other dogs.
Yeah, high energy breeds. Labs and huskies are notoriously high energy. One's meant for the water and the other's meant for the snow. They're unreal. Wish I had that energy pool, lol.
By the end I'm crying because it becomes clear that this dog is with the people he can thrive with and not end up in a shelter put down for aggression.
That part where Prince got between the 2 dogs was amazing, Prince is one in a billion, plus I thought I heard Pince speak to the aggressive dog, ''F around and find out'' amazing deceleration.
You briefly spoke about this Doberman thinking about jumping the fence, and it made me remember my childhood. From the time I was born, until I left home at eighteen, my mother had Dobermans. Anywhere from six to ten at a time, practically my entire childhood. With only a single exception, every single one of them, once reaching their adult heights, could clear a 4' chain link fence with ease anytime they pleased. Bravo, the largest male and one of my favorites, could clear a 5' fence too. The exception was Francesca. She figured out how to lift the latch of the gate, push it open, go through, push it closed behind her, and lower the latch back into place. Once she learned that trick, I never saw her jumping the fences again. She went in and out of the gate, like she thought she was one of us Humans.
Prince is so awesome - the way he stares down *any* dog that behaves inappropriately around him is mesmerizing. He’s also such a Loverboy when Joel shows him affection!
I was talking to a trainer and he stated that he's never seen a dog defend another dog. I was adamant that my dog has defended his friends. He did the EXACT same thing Prince did and went between the two. I'm so glad to see that I was correct. That trainer tried to convince me that my dog was potentially dangerous... potentially dangerous situation, sure, but it wasn't because of mine. He's a wonderful neutral, playful dog.
I have often wondered if I should intervene when my unneutered lab gets bullied. I think there comes a point when the bullying turns from intimidation to humiliation, that's where I will step in I think.
@@AndyJarman You absolutely should intervene. I put my GSD behind me, or stand in front of him, and tell the dogs off with a very loud, deep "NO" and make my short 5'4" self look as big as possible. It gets them to back off. My dog trusts me and knows to run to me when a dog bullies him. It will prevent a fight or your dog getting seriously injured. I also don't allow my dog to bully another. What I find happens is that 3 dogs will gang up on one and mine will sort of join the party, which is the moment I will recall him to me to take the pressure off the dog being piled on. It's a lot of consistent work, but it helps him have fun at the dog park with his pals wrestling, running and playing bitey face and not stress too much. I am never on my phone and I helicopter "parent" him, watching like a hawk for physical cues.
@@robin212212 He was definitely not my trainer, just a trainer I happened to run into with my dog. He commented on how well trained my doggo is at the dog park, and he saw my dog intervene on a little frenchie getting picked on and started spouting off that he wasn't defending him.
“It won’t even work. The only reason it worked is because now the dog is 10 years old and tired” 🤣 this is why I love your channel. The dog training advice is pretty good too. 😉. 🐾❤️🐾
I've been watching your channel for awhile now and I'd just like to point out how much growth Prince has shown. He has become more confident in my opinion. It used to take him a little more time to correct some of the dogs he has encountered, he is much more no nonsense lately. I've enjoyed seeing his growth
I agree, the dad in the beginning shows that he knows how to make a point to the dog without actually hurting it. This guy I hope will be the miracle owner this dog needs. I have taken in serious problem cats and rehabilitated/socialized them so they could get adopted. They too require a firm, but gentle hand. They have to be made to respect you so you can teach them how to then be socially gentle. Firm boundaries are required in the beginning.
Hicknopunk is there any way I could chat with you about how you deal with problem cats? I have two that are each difficult in different ways. Have made some progress but can't find anybody who really can guide me.
It’s great that the owners are taking the time to know and understand how to handle doggo. I’m impressed, also kuddos to the husband/gentleman- he’s taking this seriously and making sure his family (and other people/dogs) are safe. Doggo seems to have energy management problems, but he still seems sweet.
This is the first time I've seen a dog in your videos who behaves with the same intensity as my own, who is also a large unneutered male around 2 years. He's extremely pushy and gets very similar reactions from other dogs, and enjoys stirring them up. I started watching your videos a year ago and it gave me the confidence to start getting him around other dogs. It's a long process, but your techniques have helped immensely.
Watching your videos is so weird for me, in the sense that they show me how much I didn't know about how to properly train a dog. I feel terrible a lot of the times because I didn't know better, had no interest in knowing better, and my dog suffered for it. However, ever since I've found and watched your videos, I have learned SOOO much. The important part is that I recognize now what I did was wrong for my dog and I changed it. I feel more confident in my ability to correct my dogs behavior and help him. Thank you so so so so so so so much
I'm currently dog sitting a male, 3 year old Doberman. I don't have much experience with dogs and was told the dog is trained when I agreed to sit. But I've quickly learned that this dog is SO STRONG and leash reactive, he just yanks me around. I'm not a small person by any means but I struggle so much with controlling him, especially with sudden reactions. I've been following your channel and watched the videos on stopping the pulling and leash reactiveness and whilst I managed to get him to not pull and redirect him with a hip flip when it's just the two of us, when he sees another dog or a person that makes eye contact with him, he just GOES. If I see the potential trigger, I have time to intervene. But all it takes is for someone to make a sound at him or a dog bark and he's off. He's not aggressive, luckily, but he's so big (55kg) and strong, he pulled me going down the stairs, I nearly fell down, and he nearly dragged me onto the road in front of a car when he saw another dog, and many owners with smaller dogs are not happy when he lunges towards them (and he likes to play like the doberman in this video). I have to walk him on a very short leash, holding with both hands and be ready at any moment, to dig my heels in. It feels like I might get friction burn on my hands from the leash pulling. I'll keep working with him, but for now, there are no 'relaxing' walks with him
If you are just dog sitting it's the dogs owners problem, the dog is likely to revert when it goes "home". Happens when my dog is walked by other people - you can feel the change in attitude.
@@robin212212 great suggestion. I was going to suggest that myself. NEVER would I walk my doberman without his prong collar. He does pull like that dog, but I need that extra security.
We just got a German Shepard mix a month ago that acts so similar to this dog it’s insane. We also think he’s around 2 and was tied up before. He can’t control himself around other dogs and he tries to dominate every dog we’ve tried to introduce him to. This video has given me hope
It kills me when people take ownership of a Doberman and have no intention of making them part of the family. The dog suffers because they need that human attachment. I adopted a 18 month old female that was on a tether in the back yard or caged in the house. The first couple weeks were extremely difficult because she was so wild in her play that she would run full speed and jump right into my chest. Fortunately she has an amazing temperament and welcomes strangers and has never shown any aggression towards people. She still plays a bit too rough with other dogs but we are working on it. So glad the new owners are willing to give the dog what it needs to have a good life.
Holy crap Joel this owner is AMAZING. He knows exactly when to correct and remind the dog who is the boss and when to get calm at the boss' orders. They are setting this dog up for SUCCESS. There will be people out there that don't like the putting him on his side, but it is an excellent technique for establishing who is the master and calming the dog down, it's kind of a Milan technique. The owner knows just when to reset the dog. I've been watching a horse trainer Joel and he implements what you did with the dog, which is soak time. You correct the dog, remove him from the situation, reset, and then let the dog soak in what just happened and think about it. Then, you let them go back and either learn and behave, or do it again, which is when you correct. Seeing Prince standup for the younger Doberman was amazing to see too, truly Joel/Prince team acting as masters to train and teach this dog. This was one of your best videos yet. This Doberman definitely gives off an intense vibe just as the owner saw, he will be too much for some dogs which can lead to a conflict some day with the wrong dog, but the owners are aware and are prepared to take steps to stop it from getting there. Definitely adding this video to my list, great view on body language and timing corrections just right.
Owners are amazing, especially only having this dog only a month. I rescued a 3 yr old large dominant protective male GSD that hadn't been socialized. He was going after people and dogs. I was also his third home. I did go to a trainer within the first month but the trainer was afraid of the dog, I wish I had Beckman as a trainer. Long story short the dog learned so quickly, super intelligent and loyal. All the best to the new owners.....this pup will eventually become the best dog!
This was incredible to watch, a big team effort from Joel, Prince, the other dogs and the owners that really paid off. And the way Prince stepped in to protect the other dog was amazing, he really lives up to his name.
LOVE YOUR METHODS!!!! seriously. I have a 10 year old malamute that always likes to bounce out of the house for our walks and pulls for the first 30 min. I used your technique for 45 min today. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! The difference is ASTOUNDING! Thank you! We have a new puppy coming monday. Pure bred white GS. I am 100000% using YOUR techniques for everything. :)
Experienced the same thing with a horse some years ago. 15 years old, never seen another horse since she was taken from mom at 1 years old. She was extremly pushy and horse talk was obviously unknown to her. I put her in with my horse and his herd, and she got a beating !! She was very disrespectful towards the other horses. My horse, herd leader, trapped her in the far end pf the pasture and didnt let her leave that place for many days. Very interesting and she was slowly learning how to be a horse again and after a month they were best buds. She was also much more respectful and easier to handle for people without me interacting too much.
It's so cool watching this owner have the discipline and understanding of the dogs body language, if there's any owner you would have faith in to condition such a difficult dog, this is one. I'd love to know what Joel's thought's are on the dog harnesses instead of regular leashes, the ones that wrap around the torso. My girlfriend's friend has one on her dog and argued with me that a regular leash is inhumane and disgusting because the dogs can choke themselves on it, but yet then at the same time I see her struggling to maintain her dogs discipline because the harness just allows the dog pull against her super easily.
I’m not Joel, but you will find that he does not use harnesses. Dogs with harnesses are allowed to pull. He won’t use them and advises against them and to train the dog instead.
Think about it. When they're puppies and being buttheads, does their mother grab them by the chest to discipline them? No, she grabs the neck and the head.
Love the owner's correction making him put his head down. Owner said to him submit! Dogs need to be socialized early. Dogs can't be left in a yard! Owners have to be strong and consistent. Love your attitude and dog sense.
Wow .. such a powerful video.. the doggie body language.. the corrections given by both Joel and the owner.. I learned so much from this video.. thank you Joel.. and thank you to the owners...
This is refreshing to see a committed owner that observes and is pro-reactive TO THE OUT OF BOUNDS DOG BEHAVIORS. This dog certainly has some issues and recognizing them this man went to a pro for better understanding in correcting the behaviors. OUTSTANDING Dog Ownership. Taking control, and seeking help means this dog will have a huge value add to his life. Not only with other dogs, but, towards younger people as well. He was not intent on harming that girl but his size made it TOO MUCH. He needs to learn to control the inner dog and become man's best friend by exercising discipline, not beatings, but boundary control. He really will have a good life here I firmly believe.
This looks like my lab pit mix she was left in a house and a backyard for 5 years I just picked her up three months ago and I'm ready to give her back I hope this video helps me
The rescue I took in was just like this and worse, but I did not give up and now his improvement is 95% better than he was originally. Watch more of Beckman's videos, follow his instructions to the letter, and I promise you dog will improve and change to a much more manageable dog. It worked for me. Don't give up, it will get better.
It's amazing seeing the differences between a well bred dog and a poorly bred dog of the same breed. Looks like this dog has great drive though. Would excel at protection and performance work.
This owner obviously likes a challenge! He seems to already know more than most owners, there aren't many people who've take on a third hand problem Doberman. Hope we see him develop in subsequent videos.
this was a great video ! the owner was great !! i've seen a doberman like this before at a dog daycare/rehab i worked at. he would pester other dogs and seem like he's playing but then things escalate quickly. unpredictable when it would turn from play to aggression. EVERY time the dog would come in all the dogs in the yard would bark and go crazy, like they knew the dog was trouble.
Thank you so much Joel for this video. When you asked your viewers what kind of content we would like to see, I was amazed by the amount of folks that requested Doberman training. I’ve commented on so many of your videos, because I too have a replica of this fellow. He’s a huge Euro, with a high prey drive, and his brain and body are in constant motion and strong, fast. It seems ridiculous to say that it’s difficult to get this dog to focus, because when they set their sights on something, it’s difficult to pull their focus from it. But at the same time they seem so scattered and intentionally avoiding focusing on other things (that would be better choices). I’ve come to view my Dobi as such a hyper vigilant guard dog, that he doesn’t seem to understand why I want him to focus on me. He looks at me like he’s thinking “lady, you don’t seem to understand how I work…. I need to look at everything besides you, to be able to do my job of guarding you!” He looks at me like I’m completely irrational when I want to walk in or out of doors ahead of him, for the same reason….he is bred to go ahead of me to make sure that all is clear. I think that this breed is so misunderstood, especially the Euro working lines, because they just don’t operate like a normal dog. Prince is amazing, but he is American Dobi, and they are just so much easier to work with. I have a Euro and American and they’re like night and day….almost like completely different breed. I’ve been coming to realize that Breeders really need to rethink selling these Euro Dobermans to the general public, because they are often way too much for the average person to handle. I appreciate your videos and have learned so much. Thank you 😊
I LOVED the sequence at 5:57 onwards where Prince SO does his thing after all the "Dominance" from the other dog. At first he just draws a VERY definite line, like saying "NO !" and at first the other dog doesn't get it. So at 6:00 after a bit of a freeze, Prince does the first Play bow, which other dog doesn't get at first, and trys to dominate again. Prince barks at him then does ANOTHER play bow, and THIS time other dog gets it and reciprocates ! ......LOVE Prince the Teacher. He is an AWESOME woof
Incredible. I've flooded ur channel with comments lol. What a great dog. Obviously and INCREDIBLE OWNER AND MASTER!!! Now if only my wife let's us get a Dobey. Having tons of experience with Bully Breeds I feel like I'm ready for a Doberman for the pack.
Prince is fantastic (and you are too!). Very impressed how the owner handled his dog. To my lay eye, it appeared that putting the dog on his side (all done firmly but gently) to calm the dog with benefit.
God Bless the owners of the Doberman who rescued him. Wow his 3rd family that is heart breaking😢. Hopefully this is his forever home. Thank you for helping train this baby he probably had not had this support. 😢
New to your channel, l love the channel, I has great success with my first Doberman. With very similar training as you give out. I did it without any training, it’s great to see my instincts were solid. My Leah was amazing.
At the end, it was very awesome ro see in the field how the owner not only took control of his dog, but gave a warning to the other one when it kept hanging in the mood a tad too long (the owners dog was already down, so vulnerable). Having seen prince get in between and human+prince teaching the dog... Liked it!
I'm happy to see more doberman stuff. I'm on the other side of the country and often though about bringing my dog to you. She's just like this dog but a female. She's just over a year and I've had her since a puppy. She's also my first dog and I thought that I just must not know anything since I'm new. But now seeing this and that this dog is just like mine with the looking around, forcing a sit but then gets up, punishments are just more play time in her head. I've worked with dobermans and met so many nice smart ones but my own puppy is nothing like the nice dogs I've met. Ever since we got her home we've known there's something not right in her head. Maybe you could do a video on how to pick up a puppy so we don't end up with something like this. I know you can't know for sure and the personality doesn't develop for a year but there must be some things to look for other than just checking to see if they are physically healthy.
Impressed by the owner. A lot of people (Not all, obviously) will go too easy because it is their dog. But that doesn't teach or help them if the owner isn't able to effectively get the point across.
I love seeing owners actually correct their dogs to give them the best chance at life when they mess up or were in a bad situation and didn’t have a chance. It’s awesome.
I'd love to hear your insight on different breeds.what you said about staffordshires was very illuminating. I had one when I was young and NOTHING hurt him, but I never put 2 and 2 together that it was the breed. Thanks for all your videos ❤
Happy to see these owners having such experience to be quick to react. Also, this Doberman is overstimulated by everything (other dogs, smells, situations) + he's intact dominant male. I don't think he's aggressive, but he's just too much (too strong, too all over the place, too over the top, very high energy, lacks focus almost ADHD like). And I think Beckman is right - no correction will fix this insanity because it's like he's not present in his brain at that very moment. He's also a large and very strong dog 😵 Doesn't know what to do with himself, energy outbursts (if they tired out this dog, he maaaaay come down a bit). He sort of reminds me of the energy my dog has. Though my dog is socialized but is still very hyper, strong, and nuts 😶 ( have a 2 year old Serbian Tricolor Hound).
I relate very much to this owner, despite not having such a big dog. I took over a neurotic mini poodle senior of 13 years about 3 months ago. His previous owners never house-trained him, nor trained him in general obedience, or cared much for his mental health or social health. His mental state was chaos with so much anxiety, but I kept my cool. House training a senior dog, is a bit like training a puppy, but also being mindful that they may need a spot to eliminate on in case of emergency, so I gave him that in the bathroom as a compromise. It's not optimal, but I'd rather him do it there than elsewhere. I've also worked hard on basic obedience, and socializing, as it was stated in his wellness report that his owner mostly carried him around. He was in such a sorry state that when he came, his gut was wrecked and his teeth bad, so I've thrown out any special feed/garbage treats, and mostly tried to incorporate more clean protein and fibers, I also give him bones to chew to help with the tartar. He does not get any human food, or to beg at the table. Not only that, but he now has a rigid schedule, with set activities to lessen his anxiety, mealtimes and he is such a gem. Our reactivity training I base mostly your videos, and from there I work on positively associating dogs with rewards, depending on intensity. We have had great success training with two pitties that live nearby, with owners that understand that you can't let dogs run up, they allow us to walk past the park to stop and watch, to work on our own, so he can get used to meeting dogs. We have had 2 great fence meetings, with less and less reactivity. My most prideful moment has been when I worked with your tips for perfect recall, and I can now have him heel off-leash, return to position after eliminating and respond to "free" (=allowed to cruise more freely). With the corrections and appropriately applied rewards, I've trained this dog to help me find mushrooms on our walks, to ignore meeting dogs when heel is called and to actually listen/communicate. I've seen a mountain of anxiety lifted off this tiny guy's shoulders, immense willingness to work and great pride with every success he has. I can't believe nobody prior even bothered to care for him.
Great content as always! Whenever you can! Please give your thoughts on dog food (not dog brands) and how important it is to feed dog grain-free or no grain-free, etc.. Also, will you be doing the top best dog trainers list like you did last year?
My GS is only 17 weeks, maybe 35-37 pounds, but can suddenly pull me over if he catches me off guard and I’m on unstable footing..he’s a sweetie, thank god. One warning is not to leave a carabiner clip on your leash..I was using it as a third hand to occasionally tie off the leash, and I was plying with him yesterday and I think the neighbors might’ve been looking up the ASPCA number because somehow he got the carabiner clipped in between two of his toes! It..sounded..like..I was trying to murder him, very slowly! I got it off pretty quickly though. I’m lucky he gets to play with two huge retrievers that put him in his place. Been a godsend to have a friendly dog owning neighbor!
Tie off the leash in a circumstance when it’s raining, or he played in the water, I could put the leash around my porch post and use a towel to dry him off. Instead, I’ll just keep a clip in my pocket..
I don't think I could ever deliberately have a dogs tail cropped ... maybe it was born that way or I got it that way but I couldn't do it ... even tell a vet to do it .. All that said ... god I love the wiggle butt
This dog probably is like a child whose never gotten to play with other children and doesn't realize his own strength. He wants to be around them, but he overwhelms them. But his owners understand that he needs help and they wasted no time in getting it - excellent for the dog and for them and I hope that he finally has his forever home.
That dogs in very good hands. Well done for them to have taken him to Joel to get some good info. Shows they are committed to giving that great dog a good home.
God bless this couple for giving this dog another chance at quality of life and not being dissuaded by being the third owners. I feel so badly for the Doberman's unstable and unsocialized history but am super relieved that he didn't go to yet another new owner who had more sympathy than the capability and alpha energy required to handle his issues. It was a thing of beauty to watch that first strong correction from the owner when his dog crashed into their child. I actually cheered! Between Beckman, Prince and this new owner, I have such hope for this Doberman's future.
Thank you for the comment, we are diligently watching all of Joel's videos and following his advice and it is definitely paying off. This dog brought crazy and a ton of love with him, now we just need to be consistent with training, as we are his last owners. The video shows mostly the crazy, but he is a wonderful and smart dog. Neutering him is on the calendar in two weeks :)
@@Lana-hh8oh Thank you for your dedication. You are wonderful people!
@@Lana-hh8oh I think your Doberman's temperament is stable, he just needs owners like you guys to teach him.
@@Lana-hh8oh Thank so much for this update, Lana! I am so encouraged by the commitment to your new family member and appreciate how you are seeing both the present good and future great in him despite the very understandable crazy! I'm so sorry he had to go through two incompatible owners before finding you and your husband, but I have no doubt that you three were always meant for one another. Please keep us posted. We're all now fully invested and rooting for him! ❣
@@Lana-hh8oh i also thank you for taking in an animal who would have been otherwise destroyed. I re-socialize or tame problem cats who would otherwise be destroyed. I take in lost causes too, and try to give them a comfortable last few years of life. Thank you again for adopting an adult dog. There are so many abandoned animals sadly 😢
Watching this guy put his dog down on its side reminded me of the South Park episode where Cesar Milan does it to Cartman.
Cartman my favorite character😂😂😂😂😂
THSSST
That last intervention by the guy - he didn’t even touch the dog!!
TSSST!!
Funnyfungs what a meme name
Yes ceasar millan does that as a form of submission
Poor guy, after 2 years of isolation, he thinks any attention is better than nothing.
Reminded me of the Romanian orphans. It's a lot to expect of a dog abused as a puppy to become social and to understand other dogs.
I feel like this dog would excell at schutzhund or protection sports. Looks to be some Bercheron. Super intense ask for a dog like that to be a house pet 😭
This beautiful Doberman did not have a great start in life, but he certainly hit the lottery when he was adopted by this family. Two years of non-socialization and a strong, willful and dominant personality will take a lot of work but the reward will be an amazing companion in time. The owners are certainly committed to bringing out the best in this dog and I’m sure, with patience and hard work, they’ll be able to get where they want to be with him.
I can't help but see similarities with kids born into disenfranchised rural or urban environments getting cut loose in society... and it's a train wreck. And how much work it takes to unlearn bad behavior that went unchecked because there were no disciplinary governors.
Watching Joel and prince have to kinda team up for this dog is wholesome asf
reading this was cringe asf
Dynamic duo!
I don't think I have seen a dog successfully turn down that Prince play bow! Hahaha... It's like Prince knows how to take the edge off another dog and just say let's play!!! He was stoked about it and just wants that boy to chase him!! I absolutely love Prince's personality!! What an absolute gem!!
Starting at the 5:56 mark you can almost feel it through the video how much Prince was building up to his play bow! I haven't seen him hop during a play bow like that either! That boy was ready for it! Hahaha..
@@SJane3 apologies, I have only just read your comment after I had posted mine. I TOTALLY agree with you, that sequence building at 5:56 seemed pivotal ? I've worked with kids who've been abused when young and don't KNOW how to "read" play, without going dominant. I could see that same "blank" in that other Dobie at first, so Prince just went full on "BOUNDARIES !" until other Dobie softened just enough for Prince to go, ".........now !" and PL:AY BOW to engage the energy ? Had a tear in my eye on 2nd bow after a softer bark, when other Dobie PLAY BOWS BACK. BINGO !
The owner legit knows a lot more than most people. I wouldn’t have known to get the dog on his side after corrections not working. As good of a trainer as he is it just goes to show how bad off this dog was that even he wasn’t able to get the desired result. But kudos to him for being a natural and admitting he needed some help from Joel/prince combo
What's so great about him, in addition to know what to do when, is how he does it. Always calm, never using any more force than is absolutely needed. He rocks.
I love the “good job prince” and see prince give the little tail wag
Prince is a freaking EXCEPTIONAL dog. He is happy to do his job, he’s responsible, he’s caring, and he loves to be around dogs and people. That is a huge reflection on his upbringing and training and the relationship he has with you! It’s stunning to watch you two. I have a Doberman as well and I have implemented some of the things I’ve seen here as far as how I handle and interact with him to strengthen our relationship. Prince really trusts you and y’all are a great team!
An alpha among alpha dogs.
Prince is the zen master of dogs - he is wise, patient, confident, gorgeous, stands tall over all other dogs, and he never hesitates to correct an aggressive dog like a superstar! This is his world and he knows it - he also has the humility to govern his world well and fairly.
As a Dobi owner Prince is great, but on par with trained Dobi’s. It’s why I love the breed and always have them.
Sometimes one of my huskies gets like this at the park with dogs. I always pull him back and give him a minute to chill. They just get "too much" like you said. It's great to see a video that helps me know the steps to take to help my pups be better socially with other dogs.
Yeah, high energy breeds. Labs and huskies are notoriously high energy. One's meant for the water and the other's meant for the snow. They're unreal. Wish I had that energy pool, lol.
@@manictiger it's funny because the black lab we had before the huskies was so chill. 😂😂
By the end I'm crying because it becomes clear that this dog is with the people he can thrive with and not end up in a shelter put down for aggression.
Agreed! 👍😎😍
That part where Prince got between the 2 dogs was amazing, Prince is one in a billion, plus I thought I heard Pince speak to the aggressive dog, ''F around and find out'' amazing deceleration.
I think that Doberman gets it, he’s just stubborn as heck. He’ll be a great dog with some tough training
You briefly spoke about this Doberman thinking about jumping the fence, and it made me remember my childhood. From the time I was born, until I left home at eighteen, my mother had Dobermans. Anywhere from six to ten at a time, practically my entire childhood.
With only a single exception, every single one of them, once reaching their adult heights, could clear a 4' chain link fence with ease anytime they pleased. Bravo, the largest male and one of my favorites, could clear a 5' fence too. The exception was Francesca. She figured out how to lift the latch of the gate, push it open, go through, push it closed behind her, and lower the latch back into place. Once she learned that trick, I never saw her jumping the fences again. She went in and out of the gate, like she thought she was one of us Humans.
Watching owners take over and do it so beautifully seems magical to me.
Prince is so awesome - the way he stares down *any* dog that behaves inappropriately around him is mesmerizing. He’s also such a Loverboy when Joel shows him affection!
Watch him be introduced to the kittens . He’s a sweetheart
Perfect owners for this dog. Hopefully he will come along with consistency.
I was talking to a trainer and he stated that he's never seen a dog defend another dog. I was adamant that my dog has defended his friends. He did the EXACT same thing Prince did and went between the two. I'm so glad to see that I was correct. That trainer tried to convince me that my dog was potentially dangerous... potentially dangerous situation, sure, but it wasn't because of mine. He's a wonderful neutral, playful dog.
Tell your trainer that mother dogs defend their puppies all the time.
I have often wondered if I should intervene when my unneutered lab gets bullied.
I think there comes a point when the bullying turns from intimidation to humiliation, that's where I will step in I think.
@@AndyJarman You absolutely should intervene. I put my GSD behind me, or stand in front of him, and tell the dogs off with a very loud, deep "NO" and make my short 5'4" self look as big as possible. It gets them to back off. My dog trusts me and knows to run to me when a dog bullies him. It will prevent a fight or your dog getting seriously injured.
I also don't allow my dog to bully another. What I find happens is that 3 dogs will gang up on one and mine will sort of join the party, which is the moment I will recall him to me to take the pressure off the dog being piled on.
It's a lot of consistent work, but it helps him have fun at the dog park with his pals wrestling, running and playing bitey face and not stress too much. I am never on my phone and I helicopter "parent" him, watching like a hawk for physical cues.
@@robin212212 He was definitely not my trainer, just a trainer I happened to run into with my dog. He commented on how well trained my doggo is at the dog park, and he saw my dog intervene on a little frenchie getting picked on and started spouting off that he wasn't defending him.
Dogs absolutely defend other dogs! Mine do it too. 🐾❤️
“It won’t even work. The only reason it worked is because now the dog is 10 years old and tired” 🤣 this is why I love your channel. The dog training advice is pretty good too. 😉. 🐾❤️🐾
I've been watching your channel for awhile now and I'd just like to point out how much growth Prince has shown. He has become more confident in my opinion. It used to take him a little more time to correct some of the dogs he has encountered, he is much more no nonsense lately. I've enjoyed seeing his growth
Awesome that you mentioned this... I was thinking the same thing as I watched the video and was gonna say something until I saw your comment.
This dog lucked out getting these owners. If they keep it up, they’ll have a great dog!! They were smart in bringing him to you, Joel!
I agree, the dad in the beginning shows that he knows how to make a point to the dog without actually hurting it. This guy I hope will be the miracle owner this dog needs. I have taken in serious problem cats and rehabilitated/socialized them so they could get adopted. They too require a firm, but gentle hand. They have to be made to respect you so you can teach them how to then be socially gentle. Firm boundaries are required in the beginning.
Hicknopunk is there any way I could chat with you about how you deal with problem cats? I have two that are each difficult in different ways. Have made some progress but can't find anybody who really can guide me.
This really showcases Princes patience and understanding.
It’s great that the owners are taking the time to know and understand how to handle doggo. I’m impressed, also kuddos to the husband/gentleman- he’s taking this seriously and making sure his family (and other people/dogs) are safe. Doggo seems to have energy management problems, but he still seems sweet.
Dang, Prince is just an absolute legend!❤
Love princes bark after the play bow... Damnit dude. NO! 😂
This is the first time I've seen a dog in your videos who behaves with the same intensity as my own, who is also a large unneutered male around 2 years. He's extremely pushy and gets very similar reactions from other dogs, and enjoys stirring them up. I started watching your videos a year ago and it gave me the confidence to start getting him around other dogs. It's a long process, but your techniques have helped immensely.
Watching your videos is so weird for me, in the sense that they show me how much I didn't know about how to properly train a dog. I feel terrible a lot of the times because I didn't know better, had no interest in knowing better, and my dog suffered for it. However, ever since I've found and watched your videos, I have learned SOOO much. The important part is that I recognize now what I did was wrong for my dog and I changed it. I feel more confident in my ability to correct my dogs behavior and help him. Thank you so so so so so so so much
I'm currently dog sitting a male, 3 year old Doberman. I don't have much experience with dogs and was told the dog is trained when I agreed to sit.
But I've quickly learned that this dog is SO STRONG and leash reactive, he just yanks me around. I'm not a small person by any means but I struggle so much with controlling him, especially with sudden reactions.
I've been following your channel and watched the videos on stopping the pulling and leash reactiveness and whilst I managed to get him to not pull and redirect him with a hip flip when it's just the two of us, when he sees another dog or a person that makes eye contact with him, he just GOES. If I see the potential trigger, I have time to intervene. But all it takes is for someone to make a sound at him or a dog bark and he's off.
He's not aggressive, luckily, but he's so big (55kg) and strong, he pulled me going down the stairs, I nearly fell down, and he nearly dragged me onto the road in front of a car when he saw another dog, and many owners with smaller dogs are not happy when he lunges towards them (and he likes to play like the doberman in this video).
I have to walk him on a very short leash, holding with both hands and be ready at any moment, to dig my heels in. It feels like I might get friction burn on my hands from the leash pulling.
I'll keep working with him, but for now, there are no 'relaxing' walks with him
you should consider a prong collar
If you are just dog sitting it's the dogs owners problem, the dog is likely to revert when it goes "home".
Happens when my dog is walked by other people - you can feel the change in attitude.
@@AndyJarman The owner is away for another month so I'm trying to make the best out of it while I'm in charge of him.
@@robin212212 great suggestion. I was going to suggest that myself. NEVER would I walk my doberman without his prong collar. He does pull like that dog, but I need that extra security.
Get a prong collar for him. World of difference. You'll be able to walk more relaxed. Look up proper use of it though if you've never used one before.
We just got a German Shepard mix a month ago that acts so similar to this dog it’s insane. We also think he’s around 2 and was tied up before. He can’t control himself around other dogs and he tries to dominate every dog we’ve tried to introduce him to. This video has given me hope
Owners are on the path to getting a well-behaved Doberman forsure
Incredible, intuitive owner!
It kills me when people take ownership of a Doberman and have no intention of making them part of the family. The dog suffers because they need that human attachment. I adopted a 18 month old female that was on a tether in the back yard or caged in the house. The first couple weeks were extremely difficult because she was so wild in her play that she would run full speed and jump right into my chest. Fortunately she has an amazing temperament and welcomes strangers and has never shown any aggression towards people. She still plays a bit too rough with other dogs but we are working on it. So glad the new owners are willing to give the dog what it needs to have a good life.
I've raised my two-year-old in the house from 7 weeks and she still body slams me occasionally. But my dog is an asshole.
Holy crap Joel this owner is AMAZING. He knows exactly when to correct and remind the dog who is the boss and when to get calm at the boss' orders. They are setting this dog up for SUCCESS. There will be people out there that don't like the putting him on his side, but it is an excellent technique for establishing who is the master and calming the dog down, it's kind of a Milan technique. The owner knows just when to reset the dog. I've been watching a horse trainer Joel and he implements what you did with the dog, which is soak time. You correct the dog, remove him from the situation, reset, and then let the dog soak in what just happened and think about it. Then, you let them go back and either learn and behave, or do it again, which is when you correct. Seeing Prince standup for the younger Doberman was amazing to see too, truly Joel/Prince team acting as masters to train and teach this dog. This was one of your best videos yet. This Doberman definitely gives off an intense vibe just as the owner saw, he will be too much for some dogs which can lead to a conflict some day with the wrong dog, but the owners are aware and are prepared to take steps to stop it from getting there. Definitely adding this video to my list, great view on body language and timing corrections just right.
Owners are amazing, especially only having this dog only a month. I rescued a 3 yr old large dominant protective male GSD that hadn't been socialized. He was going after people and dogs. I was also his third home. I did go to a trainer within the first month but the trainer was afraid of the dog, I wish I had Beckman as a trainer. Long story short the dog learned so quickly, super intelligent and loyal. All the best to the new owners.....this pup will eventually become the best dog!
That moment where you say ¨Prince, good job¨and give him the thumbs up, and he gives a tail wag acknowledgement is SO WHOLESOME!
This was incredible to watch, a big team effort from Joel, Prince, the other dogs and the owners that really paid off. And the way Prince stepped in to protect the other dog was amazing, he really lives up to his name.
LOVE YOUR METHODS!!!! seriously. I have a 10 year old malamute that always likes to bounce out of the house for our walks and pulls for the first 30 min. I used your technique for 45 min today. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! The difference is ASTOUNDING! Thank you! We have a new puppy coming monday. Pure bred white GS. I am 100000% using YOUR techniques for everything. :)
I did some relaxation training with my dog
It taught him to manage his emotions better and relax
This guy could benefit from this I think
Would you be willing to share what kind of relaxation exercises?
Common sense for the win!❤
I mostly LOVE when Beckman points out dog behavior and teaches what it means 👍🏼🙏🏼
This was a great video. I’d love to see him again in a few months. ❤🐾🐾
Experienced the same thing with a horse some years ago. 15 years old, never seen another horse since she was taken from mom at 1 years old.
She was extremly pushy and horse talk was obviously unknown to her.
I put her in with my horse and his herd, and she got a beating !! She was very disrespectful towards the other horses.
My horse, herd leader, trapped her in the far end pf the pasture and didnt let her leave that place for many days.
Very interesting and she was slowly learning how to be a horse again and after a month they were best buds. She was also much more respectful and easier to handle for people without me interacting too much.
It's so cool watching this owner have the discipline and understanding of the dogs body language, if there's any owner you would have faith in to condition such a difficult dog, this is one.
I'd love to know what Joel's thought's are on the dog harnesses instead of regular leashes, the ones that wrap around the torso. My girlfriend's friend has one on her dog and argued with me that a regular leash is inhumane and disgusting because the dogs can choke themselves on it, but yet then at the same time I see her struggling to maintain her dogs discipline because the harness just allows the dog pull against her super easily.
I’m not Joel, but you will find that he does not use harnesses. Dogs with harnesses are allowed to pull. He won’t use them and advises against them and to train the dog instead.
Think about it. When they're puppies and being buttheads, does their mother grab them by the chest to discipline them? No, she grabs the neck and the head.
"Watch Prince do something pretty amazing..." That's Prince for ya- pretty amazing.
Love the owner's correction making him put his head down. Owner said to him submit! Dogs need to be socialized early. Dogs can't be left in a yard! Owners have to be strong and consistent. Love your attitude and dog sense.
I’m very impressed with the owners. They not only have an understanding, but a great relationship with their dog.
Wow .. such a powerful video.. the doggie body language.. the corrections given by both Joel and the owner.. I learned so much from this video.. thank you Joel.. and thank you to the owners...
This is refreshing to see a committed owner that observes and is pro-reactive TO THE OUT OF BOUNDS DOG BEHAVIORS. This dog certainly has some issues and recognizing them this man went to a pro for better understanding in correcting the behaviors. OUTSTANDING Dog Ownership. Taking control, and seeking help means this dog will have a huge value add to his life. Not only with other dogs, but, towards younger people as well. He was not intent on harming that girl but his size made it TOO MUCH. He needs to learn to control the inner dog and become man's best friend by exercising discipline, not beatings, but boundary control. He really will have a good life here I firmly believe.
His owner has a good feel for when a correction is needed and not
i love dobermans so much you can tell he wants to learn and listen so bad it’s just hard for him they really try their best to please their owners
Prince being protective was so wholesome 😂
Thank you so much for sharing all these valuable training sessions with us Joel! I love Princey poo so much! What a good boooy! 😅
Love how Prince goes back and says let's do another smell session 😅
Props to the owner. Calling his dog out for giving of hostile vibes lol
This looks like my lab pit mix she was left in a house and a backyard for 5 years I just picked her up three months ago and I'm ready to give her back I hope this video helps me
Don’t give up, you can do it!
The rescue I took in was just like this and worse, but I did not give up and now his improvement is 95% better than he was originally. Watch more of Beckman's videos, follow his instructions to the letter, and I promise you dog will improve and change to a much more manageable dog. It worked for me. Don't give up, it will get better.
It's amazing seeing the differences between a well bred dog and a poorly bred dog of the same breed. Looks like this dog has great drive though. Would excel at protection and performance work.
This owner obviously likes a challenge! He seems to already know more than most owners, there aren't many people who've take on a third hand problem Doberman. Hope we see him develop in subsequent videos.
That owner is probably a school teacher…😂
this was a great video ! the owner was great !!
i've seen a doberman like this before at a dog daycare/rehab i worked at. he would pester other dogs and seem like he's playing but then things escalate quickly. unpredictable when it would turn from play to aggression. EVERY time the dog would come in all the dogs in the yard would bark and go crazy, like they knew the dog was trouble.
Very smart owners with a freaking huge heart. Love it!! And Prince, I’m just in awe as usual 🐾🤍
Thank you so much Joel for this video. When you asked your viewers what kind of content we would like to see, I was amazed by the amount of folks that requested Doberman training.
I’ve commented on so many of your videos, because I too have a replica of this fellow. He’s a huge Euro, with a high prey drive, and his brain and body are in constant motion and strong, fast. It seems ridiculous to say that it’s difficult to get this dog to focus, because when they set their sights on something, it’s difficult to pull their focus from it. But at the same time they seem so scattered and intentionally avoiding focusing on other things (that would be better choices). I’ve come to view my Dobi as such a hyper vigilant guard dog, that he doesn’t seem to understand why I want him to focus on me. He looks at me like he’s thinking “lady, you don’t seem to understand how I work…. I need to look at everything besides you, to be able to do my job of guarding you!” He looks at me like I’m completely irrational when I want to walk in or out of doors ahead of him, for the same reason….he is bred to go ahead of me to make sure that all is clear. I think that this breed is so misunderstood, especially the Euro working lines, because they just don’t operate like a normal dog. Prince is amazing, but he is American Dobi, and they are just so much easier to work with. I have a Euro and American and they’re like night and day….almost like completely different breed. I’ve been coming to realize that Breeders really need to rethink selling these Euro Dobermans to the general public, because they are often way too much for the average person to handle.
I appreciate your videos and have learned so much. Thank you 😊
Thank you!
I LOVED the sequence at 5:57 onwards where Prince SO does his thing after all the "Dominance" from the other dog. At first he just draws a VERY definite line, like saying "NO !" and at first the other dog doesn't get it. So at 6:00 after a bit of a freeze, Prince does the first Play bow, which other dog doesn't get at first, and trys to dominate again. Prince barks at him then does ANOTHER play bow, and THIS time other dog gets it and reciprocates ! ......LOVE Prince the Teacher. He is an AWESOME woof
Incredible. I've flooded ur channel with comments lol. What a great dog. Obviously and INCREDIBLE OWNER AND MASTER!!! Now if only my wife let's us get a Dobey. Having tons of experience with Bully Breeds I feel like I'm ready for a Doberman for the pack.
You should get a Dobie! Did you see his video on how to raise a dog like Bosco and Prince? You can do it!😊
Wow that owner made his dog submit immediately after bumping the child. That’s impressive.
Thank you for this video, this Doberman is the closest behavior to the dog we adopted at 2 years old. Very helpful!
Prince is so sweet with the kittens and the female Doberman but he can also stick up for himself x he’s awesome man
I love your comments Joel. This is going to take 9 years and it’s not working because you gave him treats, it’s because he is old now 🤣🤣🤣
One popular YT trainer in particular jumps into my head.
Yeah, I caught that, too! He has an ingenious way of making humorous remarks. Had to think about what he was really saying! “ It will never work”
Prince is fantastic (and you are too!). Very impressed how the owner handled his dog. To my lay eye, it appeared that putting the dog on his side (all done firmly but gently) to calm the dog with benefit.
God Bless the owners of the Doberman who rescued him. Wow his 3rd family that is heart breaking😢. Hopefully this is his forever home. Thank you for helping train this baby he probably had not had this support. 😢
This is how I got my 1 yo dobbernan I've had him for about 3 and I can surely say I've learn3d alot from you!!!
New to your channel, l love the channel, I has great success with my first Doberman. With very similar training as you give out. I did it without any training, it’s great to see my instincts were solid. My Leah was amazing.
At the end, it was very awesome ro see in the field how the owner not only took control of his dog, but gave a warning to the other one when it kept hanging in the mood a tad too long (the owners dog was already down, so vulnerable).
Having seen prince get in between and human+prince teaching the dog... Liked it!
@5:45 where the term "pissing contest" originated 😊
I'm happy to see more doberman stuff. I'm on the other side of the country and often though about bringing my dog to you. She's just like this dog but a female. She's just over a year and I've had her since a puppy. She's also my first dog and I thought that I just must not know anything since I'm new. But now seeing this and that this dog is just like mine with the looking around, forcing a sit but then gets up, punishments are just more play time in her head. I've worked with dobermans and met so many nice smart ones but my own puppy is nothing like the nice dogs I've met. Ever since we got her home we've known there's something not right in her head. Maybe you could do a video on how to pick up a puppy so we don't end up with something like this. I know you can't know for sure and the personality doesn't develop for a year but there must be some things to look for other than just checking to see if they are physically healthy.
Impressed by the owner. A lot of people (Not all, obviously) will go too easy because it is their dog. But that doesn't teach or help them if the owner isn't able to effectively get the point across.
Joel full Arsenal getting results! Smart owners going to Joel.
Joel referring to Prince as THE KRAKEN just shows how much he trusts this dog. I bet Prince would even be able to socialize a wolf lol
I love seeing owners actually correct their dogs to give them the best chance at life when they mess up or were in a bad situation and didn’t have a chance. It’s awesome.
I'd love to hear your insight on different breeds.what you said about staffordshires was very illuminating. I had one when I was young and NOTHING hurt him, but I never put 2 and 2 together that it was the breed. Thanks for all your videos ❤
They seem like great owners. Once again I see how much I LOVE Prince
Another awesome video Joel!! Looking forward to seeing the next one.
Happy to see these owners having such experience to be quick to react. Also, this Doberman is overstimulated by everything (other dogs, smells, situations) + he's intact dominant male. I don't think he's aggressive, but he's just too much (too strong, too all over the place, too over the top, very high energy, lacks focus almost ADHD like). And I think Beckman is right - no correction will fix this insanity because it's like he's not present in his brain at that very moment.
He's also a large and very strong dog 😵 Doesn't know what to do with himself, energy outbursts (if they tired out this dog, he maaaaay come down a bit). He sort of reminds me of the energy my dog has. Though my dog is socialized but is still very hyper, strong, and nuts 😶 ( have a 2 year old Serbian Tricolor Hound).
Doberman overload, great video
I relate very much to this owner, despite not having such a big dog. I took over a neurotic mini poodle senior of 13 years about 3 months ago. His previous owners never house-trained him, nor trained him in general obedience, or cared much for his mental health or social health. His mental state was chaos with so much anxiety, but I kept my cool. House training a senior dog, is a bit like training a puppy, but also being mindful that they may need a spot to eliminate on in case of emergency, so I gave him that in the bathroom as a compromise. It's not optimal, but I'd rather him do it there than elsewhere.
I've also worked hard on basic obedience, and socializing, as it was stated in his wellness report that his owner mostly carried him around. He was in such a sorry state that when he came, his gut was wrecked and his teeth bad, so I've thrown out any special feed/garbage treats, and mostly tried to incorporate more clean protein and fibers, I also give him bones to chew to help with the tartar. He does not get any human food, or to beg at the table. Not only that, but he now has a rigid schedule, with set activities to lessen his anxiety, mealtimes and he is such a gem.
Our reactivity training I base mostly your videos, and from there I work on positively associating dogs with rewards, depending on intensity. We have had great success training with two pitties that live nearby, with owners that understand that you can't let dogs run up, they allow us to walk past the park to stop and watch, to work on our own, so he can get used to meeting dogs. We have had 2 great fence meetings, with less and less reactivity.
My most prideful moment has been when I worked with your tips for perfect recall, and I can now have him heel off-leash, return to position after eliminating and respond to "free" (=allowed to cruise more freely). With the corrections and appropriately applied rewards, I've trained this dog to help me find mushrooms on our walks, to ignore meeting dogs when heel is called and to actually listen/communicate. I've seen a mountain of anxiety lifted off this tiny guy's shoulders, immense willingness to work and great pride with every success he has.
I can't believe nobody prior even bothered to care for him.
Hey Beckman family 💌🐾,
What a awesome video, everybody great job👏
Great content as always! Whenever you can! Please give your thoughts on dog food (not dog brands) and how important it is to feed dog grain-free or no grain-free, etc.. Also, will you be doing the top best dog trainers list like you did last year?
Good job 👏 yes! That dog just needs to be shown he’s NOT the boss of dogs! The hoomans are! Yay 😀
Great owner and content as always sir!
Incredible how the dog responds, for sure. Especially if you see him being so excited.
Amazing work once again! without all the work and time I put in with my Doberman, he would have ended up just like this…
Everyone's got pants😂😂😂😂
8:18 - a liplick is legendary
My GS is only 17 weeks, maybe 35-37 pounds, but can suddenly pull me over if he catches me off guard and I’m on unstable footing..he’s a sweetie, thank god. One warning is not to leave a carabiner clip on your leash..I was using it as a third hand to occasionally tie off the leash, and I was plying with him yesterday and I think the neighbors might’ve been looking up the ASPCA number because somehow he got the carabiner clipped in between two of his toes! It..sounded..like..I was trying to murder him, very slowly! I got it off pretty quickly though. I’m lucky he gets to play with two huge retrievers that put him in his place. Been a godsend to have a friendly dog owning neighbor!
Tie off the leash in a circumstance when it’s raining, or he played in the water, I could put the leash around my porch post and use a towel to dry him off. Instead, I’ll just keep a clip in my pocket..
I don't think I could ever deliberately have a dogs tail cropped ... maybe it was born that way or I got it that way but I couldn't do it ... even tell a vet to do it ..
All that said ... god I love the wiggle butt
Muy bueno el video, gracias!
This dog probably is like a child whose never gotten to play with other children and doesn't realize his own strength. He wants to be around them, but he overwhelms them. But his owners understand that he needs help and they wasted no time in getting it - excellent for the dog and for them and I hope that he finally has his forever home.
I love Prince and well done to the owners!
Prince is such a chad 😆
That dogs in very good hands. Well done for them to have taken him to Joel to get some good info. Shows they are committed to giving that great dog a good home.
Love your content!
