Your advise is practical, specific and most importantly, it works! Thank you SO much for your help and advise! Would really appreciate a video with a leash reactive dog to other dogs on leash, people, etc. while on a walk, and watch the timing of and the manner of your corrections.
Thank you so much for this advice. I will be doing this with my 8month old puppy. I've tried so many different tactics to stop my dogs aggression. She became aggressive after 16 weeks when she had a dog bite her. Now with any new dogs she hates, her aggression has worsened to growling, barking and lunging Everytime she sees a dog. I've been watching so many of your videos for the past few days and will be doing all the advice.
Once again, thanks for the amazing video and tips. I am glad to have found your channel. You are addressing the real issues in dogs / raising a puppy that affects the day to day life. None of that is ever tackled by the "positive training pros", while they can show us to teach lots of tricks to the dog but the real challenge is to let the dog know and make him/her understand the limits. Simple what to do and what not to do. (Full stop ). Regards.
This guy is boss sauce and real AF you got this brother As I’m typing you said be the boss, it’s about the will and patience to deal with this I take 3 hours a day minimum when this aggression is a problem Your videos are fire 🔥 4 main points not sleeping in bed 🛌 is 🔑 No pulling no jumping that’s all disrespect If you have a Shih Tzu maybe you can deal with it it when you have a dog that can take a man’s life you have to take control for the dog the owner and everyone else
The best advice thank you so much Joel Beckman- my Huge golden retriever female needs a new mother in town , she has become super aggressive from treat training and doesn't listen to me ar all - following your advice all the way
I have watched some of your videos and I have learned a lot my German Shepherd is a couple of months old and she has a couple of problems that I need to fix with her I have took your advice on the head leader pop back advice….And it worked she stop pulling completely but i still need to work on her barking at her people and barking at other dogs.
My doberman is 5 months old and have implemented your techniques and advice for the past month and have been able to stop his leash reactivity. This is a huge improvement, he no longer barks and lunges at dogs or people. However, when up close with a dog, and not just simply walking past, if having to be introduced to one he will become aggressive. I've heard you mention that some of your techniques don't work as well if the dog is under 9 months old. My doberman being only 5 months, do you think if I keep using these training techniques, that he'll become less aggressive in 1 on 1 dog scenarios as he matures? He is very obedient, and clearly sees me as the boss. This is something I've made sure of since I got him.
Everything this man says is spot-on. I love his straightforward no-nonsense approach. Only thing I do differently is I use extra tools that he doesn't. But I use them correctly and humanely. I do it because I'm only a 130 lb and five foot nine. I am strong but not strong enough to maintain control and give corrections to working line German Shepherd or Malinois type dogs. I have an injury to my neck and lower back and so I cannot properly give a correction on a flat collar and must use a prong collar. But always take the prong off after the training session or walk and only use a Herm sprenger!
I appreciate your videos. My daughter has a female Shepard that always jumps on everyone and is very dominating to other dogs . Her favorite thing to do is run from a distance at other dogs and hit them broadside with her front feet/claws which usually knocks the other dogs over on their side and then she bites the legs and ears. She also likes to hump my daughter’s male golden retriever that is a rescue dog with three legs. When I’m there and I catch her doing that I go after her and she runs away. When I first arrive to visit and she sees me she tries to jump me and I have to block her with something or my knee. She has managed to cause scratches and bruises on my inner thigh and abdomen. She is 8 years old and has every bad habit you mentioned. In that household that dog runs the show and does what ever she wants. She also barks all the time and whines for attention most f the time I’m there. I’ve decided that I refuse to go there again as I’m done with that dogs bad behavior. My daughter tells me she s a good dog when I let her know about the behavior the dog has toward other dogs, people and also her cats that can’t live in pace without the dog constantly after them. Sad.
I confess my dog still sleeps in the bed with me, but YES! Joel's loose-leash method has been helping tremendously!!! I hv an 84-lb pitbull so I use the Gentle Leader whichbmakes it way easier to do corrections. My dog used to flip out whenever he saw a dog 30 yards away. Now 3 ft away hedid flip out a bit but it was sooooooo much less and he calmed down right away. I am hopeful for continued improvement! (It's only been a few weeks! )
Man I wish I lived anywhere near you. You seem like a great trainer and I just got a Pit 11 days ago who has responded well to training ( 3rd dog I’ve had so it’s not my first rodeo) but I can’t tell if he’s dog aggressive or just excited around them
My dog has dog in dog aggression. Not to every dog but i never know which one he will respond poorly to. Now I've worked hard I've taught him to walk nicely on a loose leash ect ect. Now I just took him to a trainer and my dog acted like a prince walked at a perfect heel ignored the other dog until given the ok ect the trainer laughed and said Im not sure what you need help training with he seems like you're doing all the right stuff. I'm still stuck with a Cane Corso who randomly wants to eat other dogs. Often small dogs. He does play great with some I'm just at a loss. I absolutely do all the things you say. We do do e collar training a well but we do NOT ever shock him in aggressive situations as I've always been afraid he would think it was somehow coming from the other dog. We use stem/vibration if he doesn't listen say when at the park and he mounts a female if he doesn't get down from my words alone we use vibration and he then immediately gets off her back. I have been very unsuccessful in finding a trainer that can help with that one situation. I've got all the rest under control. I could really use some help out here in Hawaii
So would the approach with those 10% fear based aggression dogs be different? and how? Can you make a video on that and also how to tell if it is fear-based? Thank you so much!
I don’t think it’s that much different. Fearfull dogs just need even more stable leadership (“being the boss”): being clear about what you want and what you intent to happen, all the time. That’s how a fearful dog can learn to trust. The difference is mainly the intensity of the corrections. And being positive when things go well is more important with a fearfull dog.
What would you recommend for random redirected aggression? I’ve started implementing these things and I’m noticing huge improvements. But my dog will still redirect on my other dog at random with a couple weird triggers (either me randomly walking fast or sudden loud voices in the house) but not every time. Like the last time I cleaned my fish tank and touched a fish on accident I laughed and screamed and he attacked my other dog in response to that. Then they go right back to being besties after I separate them and reintroduce them. It’s just impossible to predict and prevent being surprised so I’m unsure how to address it.
what if your dog keeps running away from you when going to get them after the come cue? She actually has a great recall in the yard and house and it's something I have been training outside on a long leash. But today she got out of the gate and chased after 2 people and their dogs. Just ran around and barked. She would get close to me but as soon as I go to grab her she would run away. I have even tried the hand down method I was training at home. She just ran circles around.
I have a situation where there is an existing male and female brother and sister, beagle mixes. The male was attacking any dog that comes around my roommate, he goes off on them litterally attacking them. In comes a rescue beagle. Sweetest dog in the world. He gets attacked 4 times without responding to the attacker. Woke up one morning I guess saying enough is enough, so now the rescue goes after the original attacker for no reason and the original attacker just scampers off somewhere cowering. I don't want to have to rehome the new rescue. My roommate doesn't acknowledge the initial wrong doing of the first male, so they are absolutely no help in resolving this. Is this an attempt at playing dominate big dog even though all he does is bark (very aggessively !!) in the face of the initial attacker that DID actually bite and cause blood a couple of times ?! Breaks my heart to think I may have to rehome the newest member, a beagle.
You have to be the boss of the household. Pure positive does not work for this. That’s why there are NO videos of them training aggressive dominant dogs reforming. No videos. This man has many of them.
Part of the way I got my dog over aggression (leash walking) was to get really excited with joy ("friend bub") when approaching another dog. 1. I had his attention; 2. He saw another dog as a good experience. The exact opposite to shock collar. This works even if the other dog is not too thrilled.

@@kevinwilcox1835 Anything used by untrained hands can be dangerous you nit wit.... Including hands.... I've seen more people use physical force incorrectly while training than e-collars. They slap and beat the dog while it barks. This guy knees them in the chest!!!! Should it be illegal for this guy to knee them when they hop up? Nope. People incorrectly crate train which is completely barbaric sometimes imo. Should kennels be illegal? Nope. Have you seen how they train dogs in Russia? E-collars are perfect tools for dog trainers. Just like choke callers, muzzles, kennels.
I have 10 dogs. One dog is agressive to only one dog. They always end up fighting and end up hurting each other. But woth the rest of the dogs she is fine.
Would welcome advise on what to do when walking down the street without a dog and person walking towards me with their dog on a lead bites me as I walk by. Now I cross the street after being bitten twice by same dog! And owner does nothing but lets her dog walk out in front on a long lead,
I'm watching everything I can on dog aggression. Your methods have not just saved our dog but probably our marriage. Dog aggression adds so much uneeded stress to a relationship. And my wife is getting used to wearing the gentle leader. Just joking.
I had a dog growing up that was aggressive, a fear-biter. We got in a dog behaviourist who used a can filled with rocks and said every time he lunges at other dogs or people on a walk I must shake it to snap him out of it, It made the aggression a million times worse. When he pulled I mustn't correct, just let the dog choke itself, eventually it'll get the idea and heel because it won't enjoy being choked. Pretty much everything he said to do did not work and made our dog a lot worse. Took him to a trainer who checked him out and sent us away, terrified of him, saying we should put him to sleep, he's going to attack us or kill someone. He went on holiday with us and my cousins and almost bit my 3 year old cousin in the face and thank god I reacted in time and he was on a leash. I wish I knew more when I was 14/15 but you trust professionals to know what they're doing. Now I know that it would have been work but I would do what I had to to fix his issues, knowing that it's possible now with the right knowledge, it's sad to think how many people even with the right tools will say, I can't make my dog sleep on the floor in his bed and tell him to stay off the couch or not to give into his bad behaviour because he's too cute. It really does wonders to know that it's not mean to be the boss and save your dog's life by helping him fix his issues which you likely contributed to. I wish there were more people and trainers out there who knew this and didn't just give up because the dog won't take treats and realize understanding dog psychology is also important, otherwise you can cause more issues. Tough love with an aggressive dog, who you love, it's not easy but well worth the results, it's amazing seeing your dog go from neurotic, aggressive and stressed out to happy and chill. I worked at a doggy daycare for a few years and we did end up socialising "aggressive" dogs and it can be done over time but you have to be consistent, not give up and follow through!
My German Shepherd sleeps with my wife and I every night....there's absolutely nothing wrong with your dog sleeping with you as long as you have established that YOU are the "pack leader" Dogs are "pack" animals and they actually prefer to sleep with you.
"Your dog cannot jump on you when you come home." Any similarities with already being home working on the computer and the dog jumps up and shoves his way in to get pet?
What about the so called alliance aggression? I suspect that a small dog is mainly aggressive with other dogs because his owner keeps interfering with the normal hierarchy and keeps supporting and protecting the submissive dog...
My dog is fear aggressive. He flies out of the house and I will be practicing your leash correction method from your other video. How I know he's fear aggressive? He will chase and bark at a dog but the moment that dog turns and walks towards him he yelps. He's just a little baby 7 month old pomeranian acting tough to scare dogs, kids and strangers away and I need that behaviour gone for good.
@@BDTraining Aaaah ok thank you... I sleep with my dog every night lol he has his own side of the bed... mainly because it's winter here atm lol I love your uploads thank you for what you do...
I totally disagree with one point - not letting your dog sleep in the bed with you. I've trained all of my dogs over the years and allowing them in the bed has never caused any issues in behavior. I don't see how this video directly addressed, through examples, how to deal with dog aggression. It was more of a "go watch my other videos" summary vs actual content.
Lols I like this guy.... But I use an e-coller and sleep with my dog. Tons of respect and love between us. It makes me wonder if this guy has ever even used an e-coller or if doesn't know how. That "HEY!!!!!" thing didn't work for me. He would go from a proper sit, to seeing the dog, to zoning me out, to just losing it. I couldn't snap him out of it for the life of me and it was impossible to prevent. He literally broke a leash. The e-coller is literally 10x better than saying hey and grabbing the dog. You don't have to be right next to the dog to correct the behavior. I use the vibration 90% of the time with a successful recall. It's a great form of communication. They'll know who the boss is for sure.
@@blknprd67 Yeah no problem! I would wait if the pup is young though. I spent the first year with my pup just building a relationship and putting training secondary. He picked up a lot but still misbehaved while being out and about. And get a good e-collar! I hear some people say that they got a $30 one, it didn't work, and it didn't have a vibrater setting. I went with the dogtra arc hands-free fyi. We went to the lake the other day and he was off leash even though it said dogs need to be on them. He did great and we got a ton of compliments. There was a dog on a leash loosing his marbles while the owners beat him to try and shut him up 😭 I get that e-collars have a bad rep.... but a bad trainer is just a bad trainer tbh 😕
@@killa-ma-jig7281 I just got a 14 month old doberman rescue. He's following commands very well but I want a fail-safe. I'm coming up on four weeks ownership and don't want an alpha battle to begin.
@@blknprd67 My dog was playing with his hearding ball in the zone having fun like a dog should. He was getting close the street just now. I recalled. Nothing. I paged with the vibrater. Nothing. I give him like a 10% zap, he shrugs it off, looks at me, then recalls perfectly to a happy sit. I'd rather slightly shock him than have him run over by a car. He just gets excited when he's playing and I can't blame him 🤷♂️ it's nice having a fail safe 💯

Maybe you have tried everything in the wrong way. You have to be consistent!
I totally disagree with one point - not letting your dog sleep in the bed with you. I've trained all of my dogs over the years and allowing them in the bed has never caused any issues in behavior. I don't see how this video directly addressed, through examples, how to deal with dog aggression. It was more of a "go watch my other videos" summary vs actual content.
Everyone tells me to not let my dog sleep with me :(
Lols I like this guy.... But I use an e-coller and sleep with my dog. Tons of respect and love between us. It makes me wonder if this guy has ever even used an e-coller or if doesn't know how. That "HEY!!!!!" thing didn't work for me. He would go from a proper sit, to seeing the dog, to zoning me out, to just losing it. I couldn't snap him out of it for the life of me and it was impossible to prevent. He literally broke a leash. The e-coller is literally 10x better than saying hey and grabbing the dog. You don't have to be right next to the dog to correct the behavior. I use the vibration 90% of the time with a successful recall. It's a great form of communication. They'll know who the boss is for sure.
Very good information. I'm a new dog owner and wasn't aware of the vibration setting.
@@blknprd67 Yeah no problem! I would wait if the pup is young though. I spent the first year with my pup just building a relationship and putting training secondary. He picked up a lot but still misbehaved while being out and about.
And get a good e-collar! I hear some people say that they got a $30 one, it didn't work, and it didn't have a vibrater setting. I went with the dogtra arc hands-free fyi.
We went to the lake the other day and he was off leash even though it said dogs need to be on them. He did great and we got a ton of compliments. There was a dog on a leash loosing his marbles while the owners beat him to try and shut him up 😭
I get that e-collars have a bad rep.... but a bad trainer is just a bad trainer tbh 😕
@@killa-ma-jig7281 I just got a 14 month old doberman rescue. He's following commands very well but I want a fail-safe. I'm coming up on four weeks ownership and don't want an alpha battle to begin.
@@blknprd67 My dog was playing with his hearding ball in the zone having fun like a dog should. He was getting close the street just now. I recalled. Nothing. I paged with the vibrater. Nothing. I give him like a 10% zap, he shrugs it off, looks at me, then recalls perfectly to a happy sit. I'd rather slightly shock him than have him run over by a car.
He just gets excited when he's playing and I can't blame him 🤷♂️ it's nice having a fail safe 💯
Watch Donny Trump's Apprentice and be the very mean boss of your dog. LOL You don't need to yell and scream all the time. Just be firm and mean. LOL LOL But don't be a sociopath like Donny. LOL LOL LOL
Get out of your basement and move on already...
@@jamespendergrass6946 Get out of your far right worm hole. No basement is allowed in many parts of Oregon. Educate yourself and at least get your high school diploma or you will never be great again. LOL
