I started basic obedience training last May and have watched seminars and dozens of trainers and training methods, and let me tell you this man right here is my favorite! He doesn't use any harsh punishments nor use just treats, he uses natural corrections for dogs to understand! I started using his no pull methods with my aussie ( who pulls 100%) and it was my first time I was able to walk her on just her collar. Now hoping to use his methods for her resource guarding against my other dogs.. truly a revelation right here.
I used to do this with my previous horse from the moment I met him and the result was indeed that he was always able to walk off leash very neatly. He also always stopped before every open door, even when getting him off leash from the pasture, so this method works great!
This works! I have a labrador and have tried all sorts of things but this worked pretty much instantly and now every walk is so pleasant. He watches my every step!
I have a 2 year old White Shepherd that goes crazy when we go out; I mean like whining, jumping, pulling, biting the leash etc. I’ve been guilty of not training him properly on the leash, which has made it such a “chore” to take him out. Nothing else has worked, but this video! Just in 30 minutes of repeating this process, my dog did not jump, bite the leash, whine, or bolt out the door! I also received the most eye contact I’ve ever had with him outside and it’s only day 1. He still has a lot to learn, but I’m really looking forward to seeing his progress❤️ Thank you so much for this video🙏🏼
You guys are on here because you want good dogs or possibly you enjoy this channel. Yup, Joel. I am here for both. I genuinely enjoy your channel. You're just such a unique trainer. ❤
It never ceases to amaze me how effective these methods are - and how quickly dogs will learn when given the right lesson. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your methods.
I will watch every video, no matter how repetitive. This man is the brightest gem in the TH-cam dog training universe. I am filming my first edited video and totally mention this very method and where I learned it. Nothing is better for overall obedience than this. It sharpened up every other aspect of my training. Between this and the Gentle Leader, dogs are far better off.
Absolutely agree. I’ve been implementing Joel’s loose leash method, incredible improvement. I have the same type of dog that he showed in one earlier upload (it’s was a GSD) forward moving, starts to go if he sees something - cannot help it as he’s a Kelpie. Got a gentle leader after watching that upload. Unbelievable. After a week my girls are walking him. Insane. Occasionally even with the gentle leader he’ll almost half trot diagonally which I had to work on, kinda like side on like a thoroughbred about to race. But no pulling ect. Now that’s even gone too.
He has us trained to watch his videos! LOL! Seriously, his videos have changed my life and that of my dog. She’s not a beast like some of these dogs but our walks are now loose leash and I walk with a regular gait and she is with me. The stage is set at the door and there is no more pulling, no dog reactivity, no cutting in front of me. I didn’t use treats just a few well timed corrections (telling her what’s up!😉). I see other dog walkers being pulled and walked by their dog and I recognize my old self in them. Joel is the real deal but you have to be willing to set door/leash boundaries. Two thumbs aloft!
I agree!! I watch Joel EVERYDAY! This man is my FAVORITE trainer. He’s not “show biz” like Cesar….I don’t need/like the backstory/family drama of Cesar….I want a demonstration of how I should train my dogs….I love this guys methods!!!
The ONLY method that has pretty much changed my Kelpies reactivity. I’ve owned pittbull, Jack Russell, cared for many other dogs. This boy When I got him, barely handled, never been in a house. Reactive to everything and anything that moved especially people. Had tiny success with other methods, Joel’s method has knocked it out of the park. My kids can actually walk him alone without me now, we are in control. Thanks for your help 🙏 Joel you have been a godsend
Training this behaviour hasn’t just helped my dog it’s helped me too. It’s helped me to learn that I can have higher expectations and I can set some boundaries. Thankyou Joel.
This training is exactly what I applied to my 90 lbs lab mix and the result is almost instant! I came across Joel’s channel about 5mos ago and it was life changing! One day I accidentally left the door wide open and to get something in the car and my dog was just sitting there by the door waiting, I was so shocked it worked! Now he’s 100% trained when it comes to any doors including the garage door, I don’t have to worry about him flying out at all! Amazing stuff!!!
Wow...this one's a perfect example of the door method working beautifully! Love the "since when is there a cue to pull on the leash? With you, there should never be a cue." 👏👏
Your methods really does work. We had five dogs that would immediately run out the door every time we opened it, it was such a pain. But after applying your methods they are near perfect and rarely try to run out.
i havent been able to get my dog to calmly walk out the door for a walk EVER. She jumps, bolts, grabs and tugs on the leash as hard as she can, & is generally just super overstimulated when getting ready for a walk. I watched this video and decided to try it with just her martingale collar (we usually use her Freedom no-pull harness) she caught on within minutes. MINUTES!! I've tried similar methods but this one gets 10/10 from me (and my super hyper American Bully) ! :) :) :)
Absolutely agree! Beckman has changed our lives! We went from 'puppy purchase blues' to peace in our home and relationship once again! Thank you so much Joel!!
Great video! Thank you!! Couldn't agree more. My last shepherd would always fly out the door, it was so stressful. I insisted our 7 month old GSD learn this skill early on. It's a life changer. She learned it by 5 months and she's so good, and waits at the door even if open, will not leave the door without our invitation. It also helps sets the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable walk making good eye contact.
Beckman's loose leash method was a game changer for my dog and I!! I always tried Ceaser's short but relaxed method for both the dogs I've had but had almost no success. My current dog was better but still wanted to be ahead of me by half it's body length. Once I used a gentle leader and the stop, crouch, step to the side, and correct, my dog walks with me PERFECTLY and now I LOVE walking him daily even MORE!! Side note my dog hates to be corrected like that now. He checks in constantly and seems a little too worried when I stop to test him.
Teaching our young cattle dog the wait command was a game changer for serious impulse control issues that would spiral up to craziness and niping. Use it in many different situations. It instantly calms her down and she focuses on me.
I started applying your method and it magically works. Before I tried tons of positive reinforcement that yes, helped in other contexts, but my dog was still pulling like crazy. This method lets the dog understand what you do NOT want to happen and it's incredibly important. Thank you!
My wife and I have a 16mo rottie female and our loose leash training while walking improved immensely when applying this. As soon as we opened up the garage door she would want to pull and run out but this worked out great. Thanks so much and always following your videos so we can continuously work on areas to improve.
I love it man, using these videos to keep on my parents dog because they don't pay attention to her. Has already helped and impressed me a lot with how little time these drills take. Consistency people, even if everybody doesn't have it when you come around and you have it, it shows!!
Brilliant - you allowing them to correct themselves in the end. I really like this. THe last big guy in this video is like mine - eager to jump out. GSDs respond well though, so look forward to trying this.
Really made a difference with my 10 month old Saint Bernard. We don’t leave the house until she stands with me at the door. She has the routine down and waits for the invitation to come. Walks are great. Thanks, Joel. Zelma
I think Prince initially established that he's the boss and asserted that the puppy is playful and not a threat. Then, by lying down, he presented to the puppy how to properly submit and what is expected of him.
I have a 5 month Bull terrier. She's awesome and It's fortunate she has a wonderful temperment. After watching this, your instructions are crystal clear and easy to follow. You and Victoria are my favourite. New sub. Thanks for making theses videos.
Aussie and her mini schnauzer here. I discovered your lessons a few weeks back. So refreshing to hear you say not so many treats. None if possible. My girl sits and stays at the door until I release her, but then she charges out Will follow your advice and do your method. So much more control. Have already begun your loose lead method too. Getting better daily.
You nailed it sir. I "have" this problem with all the rescued Rotties that I take it. It takes maybe three days and some reinforcement to get them to wait at an open door while looking out at the traffic going up and down on the side walk by the house. I use "out" and "in" commands along with hand signals with the goal being completely on hand signals for all behavioral commands.
Joel... I thank you. Your leash correction, when a dog owner follows through and stays the course, helps establish a lifelong relationship with any dog. It has helped me and people have seen me do it as there dog pulls them down the block and then I can see them from a far picking it up and there dog changes imidiately. Thank you, and continue you with what you do and how you do it. I hope to one day take a drive to Ramona and show off what my Bernadoodle and I have achieved by simply tunning in.
Totally agree; from fostering over 20 dogs these last couple of years i have found that if on day one (regardless if the dog is 9weeks old or 3 years old) you establish the simple rule that the dog has to listen/check-in with you it makes everyone's life a lot easier and sets your dog up for success. And don't use a harness, it makes it much harder to communicate with your dog.
Joel, After watching and trying your techniques in at least 20 videos I have decided you are actually for real. As you know, there are plenty on youtube who are not. They'd like the money but don't deliver. While I am amazed that your techniques work I have began to depend on those as well as my own. I have a little different perspective as I was actually raised in a little or German Shepherds so I have some understanding of dogs. (Didn't understand people didn't eat kibble until I was at least 4 yrs old) I have also raised and trained two Aussies to be able to point my Aussie at a herd of deer and having him bring them all back to me. Thanks for your stuff.
I quit training my doodle after 4 or 5 months because she was so easy and obedient. But we've become sloppy in our habits. I'm going to go back and do this training.
I watch all Joel's stuff too, it's excellent, using the Gentle Leader always now, and it helps a lot w my aggressive rescue dog. And I just saw a great demonstration of how to deal with an Akita--since that's what you are contemplating--at Lead Off Leash k9, also great work: th-cam.com/video/ZTWmhG8-KLQ/w-d-xo.html
Teaching my dog to walk out the door properly on the leash has literally saved my life! He is only 22 lbs, but he is strong and almost pulled me down the stairs in my apartment complex face first!
I started doing this with my puppy from day one of leach walking. Not the pulling her back because she was a puppy and is now 15 weeks and what a difference and the getting out of the vehicle. Like Joel's methods
Leash pop has been invaluable to me these past few weeks. I'm working on becoming a dog trainer myself. Both sessions I've used this method, my clients' dogs did a complete 180° after only a few corrections. I knew it'd work, I just didn't know it worked that _fast._
Only problem with this trick at my house is the screen doors that close on their own! I trained a wait/stay at the door, and we use this method everywhere else. Full subscriber of your content, love the channel. I like positive reinforcement for most things, but your whole methodology really helps me correct bad behaviours in a way that's not cruel and the dog fully understands what's up
Yes, impulse control. I preach this to my puppy adopters in fact just did a video on impulse control training in seven week old puppies. They gotta have it before they can be trained anything in my opinion. Impulse control, self control, gotta have it and you can start training it in very young puppies. Also, people act WAY too excited when they get ready to take the dog out for a walk.
She looks and acts exactly like my dog :D I love Rottweilers. I would love to see more videos with her. He is in training still and your videos are a huge help!
I like the video Joel! The only thing I do different is the verbal que. My “Okay” is always a release marker that says the dog is okay to go smell around or play, etc. Typically i would give a recall or other command before offering a correction for non-compliance.
I taught my girls “wait”. So they wait for my release cue if “ok” to go out with me. But can still use a little work when they want to go outside when they see something they want. I have a fully fenced in yard so they can’t get out to the street. I can actually fling the door open and they’ll wait for me to say “ok” to go out the door. That way they don’t rush outside, no pushing but I gotta teach them to check in with me once they go outside.
I also surprise my dog often when walking, especially if he’s in front of me, and change direction to ensure he’s paying attention and changes direction with me. Because he’s always paying attention and knows to never pull, even my t year old son can walk my 165lbs Cane Corso. Makes everything so much easier.
@@ivyrose779 It’s big, but workin the standard. His father has 12 European championships and his mother 4, so he’s definitely within the standard and taking after his father. I don’t care about that though. I just care he’s healthy, good and guarding and alerting, and a good family dog. That being said, the kids took a lot of training and retraining and he’s always trying to raise his rank above the kids and own them. My 8 year old struggles the most because he knows he can overpower him so he has to be the most contentious with his behavior and training. It’s not a dog that’s just a pet. Everyone needs to be interested in learning about dog behavior and needs an SME in the house who can guide and monitor. Not for people who aren’t passionate about learning dog behavior or really know what they’re doing.
I would love a bit of elaboration on using this method if I use a gentle leader. Is there anything in particular I should be aware of when correcting with the gentle leader?
Joel has a lot of videos for what you are asking. You may need to do some binge-watching. I love it when subscribers write that they don't even have a dog, have no intentions to get a dog, and anticipate Joel’s newest video every day. How, cool is that! ✨
Maybe there aren’t videos on working at the front door of your house, but there are plenty of videos showing how to safety and patiently exit their kennels. To me that is essentially the same lesson on never running out of a doorway without their owners permission. A very valuable and transitional lesson.
I wish I could find a trainer like you in OH. I like the trainer I am using but proper dog playing and behavior is what I need to work on and we haven't done that. You are seriously so good at what you do. I try and use your tactics every chance I get.
I started training this with my extremely smart 10 week old miniature dachshund, Georgie, because he was pulling the leash CONSTANTLY and I couldn’t stand it. Even though he’s a puppy, I’m incredibly thankful for this video and glad I taught him this. It took only a day for him to completely change his attitude. It doesn’t matter big or small dogs, they MUST know who’s in charge. They need a leader.
Yea that's huge and key to have the dog checking in constantly. There's where my 9 month old girl flops out. She does great in backyard loose leash training, sit stay, lie down etc but the second we get out in the real word, she's non stop sniffing and looking for other dogs. I've spent about 7 months correcting, switching from chains, prong, gentle leaders (which do work but certain drawbacks, like with the gentle she constantly rubs her face off my leg and read its not good for dobes with their long necks) and then the prong seems to frustrate her especially when another dog passes, making it tough to get by without her melting down. Now this all said, she's in the middle of heat right now so not being too hard on her but this door thing does work if you keep on your dog with it rep after rep, it makes them really have to check in with you. I can't believe i'm still having leash problems with my girl TBH, all my other dobes within 1 month were fantastic but this one has been uber challenging with reactivity issues.
My latest challenge honestly is my own jelly legs, completely forgetting what I'm supposed to do when faced with a dog. I just got past 3 little dogs with my 2 mastiff/boxer cross. The dogs did SO good, but I need serious work 😫 💖
I train tracking dogs for wounded game and I have a dog that is very reactive. I think this method could break a lot of the reactivity. I am usually complemented on how well my "hunting dogs" behave but this one is over the top.
This HAS changed my life and my two Labs. But one just loses his mind each time he gets to walk, even if its every day. So this sequence helps him calm down in that first 10-15 minutes when he wants to be a jetski, and wastes the energy he needs for the uphills back home. I live in an apartment complex, my home too small to walk him. Plus the jealous FOMO other Lab needs to be left behind in the small garden. Here goes.... Door method at front door. Then the most unlogical slalom method in the parking lot and, around cars, trees, shade parking poles, completely opposite to what he wants to do. Then door method AGAIN at street gate. Then, slalom to and fro across the street (if its safe) and every object (tree, street pole, street furniture) you can find. Also, pop leashes on him for every strong pull. Once he has his mind back and starts walking sort of OK, "reward" every strong pull with a frustrating illogical slalom - to and fro across the street if it's safe, or around tree, bushes, lighting poles.... and pop leash for every nonsense. EXCEPT.... give him ten or so chances to pee on things when first out of gate. Hooe this helps someone else with a strong, older Lab / Labradoodle rescue, that has had no training or socialization.
Joel has puppy videos too. They really helped me with my pup. I can't remember what age he said. Start binge watching. He incorporates many trainings, body language explanations, etc., in each video. Start binge-watching his videos. ✨
Many external doors open inwards resulting in different movement, physical stance and positions of the handler and dog (compared to an outward opening door). Please can you demonstrate your doorway method with an inwardly opening external door and is there anything you would do differently? Thanks
My 1.5 yr old cane corso has good impulse control with the door. I can leave him in a stay and go to the end of my driveway and tell him to come. I can for the most part control his reactivity on walks. But he gets hyper focused and extreme at the neighbors dogs in the backyard through the fence. Meanwhile he is 1 of 4 dogs and the only dog that does this and he is in no way aggressive towards my 3 other dogs. I am starting to educate myself on a collar to help resolve this problem as an option but not the solution. What do you think? Obv he is a cane corso so I’m not overwhelmed by this but do believe I can chance this behavior. Also would neutering help? Not fix the problem but help the communication become clearer?
Thanks for your vids, great stuff. I am not sure how rigid/formal to be abt a “with me” walk vs “go roam” type walk? I assume it’s ok to have a “free”/“check your pee mail” walking mode where I just follow the dog… But do I always need to start structured, like a with me/behind me, and make a big deal of releasing for the “explore ahead of me” walk mode? Have not seen videos that really explain this. Thank you.

Just arguably the best dog training videos on TH-cam......
I agree! Joel is the best, by far. I love that I see actual results using his methods.
He really is the best!
Millan and him are somewhat similar. He's been teaching dogs impulse control for years. Saved so many lives from being hit by cars or dog fights 🙌
Absolutely!
I could not agree more!
I used to do this with my previous horse from the moment I met him and the result was indeed that he was always able to walk off leash very neatly. He also always stopped before every open door, even when getting him off leash from the pasture, so this method works great!

I absolutely LOVE this video, I've sent it to everyone. Thank you Joel for making my dog's training so much easier and effective
A method that works ,my dog is becoming a joy to walk because of this 👍
Changed our lives for sure - simple but so effective- we do it at every door - internal and external - has to be done!
My wife and I have a 16mo rottie female and our loose leash training while walking improved immensely when applying this. As soon as we opened up the garage door she would want to pull and run out but this worked out great. Thanks so much and always following your videos so we can continuously work on areas to improve.
For those that are still thinking if you should buy or not buy the gentle leader and your dog keeps pulling…
BUY IT. It’s worth it. It helps a lot.
I love it man, using these videos to keep on my parents dog because they don't pay attention to her. Has already helped and impressed me a lot with how little time these drills take. Consistency people, even if everybody doesn't have it when you come around and you have it, it shows!!

You have changed my life walking days with my dog. God bless your heart ❤️
Should have a million subscribers!
Learned that one reading Cesar Milan's book. My dog has very good door/gate manners, on leash or off.
yes, learned this from the great Cesar.
I think Prince initially established that he's the boss and asserted that the puppy is playful and not a threat. Then, by lying down, he presented to the puppy how to properly submit and what is expected of him.

100% Truth. Life changing stuff right here, especially for those of us with more difficult or "feisty" dogs.
You nailed it sir. I "have" this problem with all the rescued Rotties that I take it.

And don't use a harness, it makes it much harder to communicate with your dog.
Don't use a harness? Ohk, so when my Saluki sees a squirrel and LOSES HER FRIGGIN' MIND... I'm supposed to let her choke herself out?
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 you could use a gentle leader. No choking..
My dog always slips out of the collar no matter how tight I make it, do you know how I can fix this? I want to transition to just collars for walking

(Didn't understand people didn't eat kibble until I was at least 4 yrs old) I have also raised and trained two Aussies to be able to point my Aussie at a herd of deer and having him bring them all back to me.
Thanks for your stuff.
Joel great video thank you
One of the first things I worked with when I got my dog. Hope this helps other owners
A que to pull on the leash. Good one, Joel! Excellent 👏
I quit training my doodle after 4 or 5 months because she was so easy and obedient. But we've become sloppy in our habits. I'm going to go back and do this training.
Thank you for all the amazing content. I am watching all your videos in preparation for getting an Akita
I watch all Joel's stuff too, it's excellent, using the Gentle Leader always now, and it helps a lot w my aggressive rescue dog. And I just saw a great demonstration of how to deal with an Akita--since that's what you are contemplating--at Lead Off Leash k9, also great work: th-cam.com/video/ZTWmhG8-KLQ/w-d-xo.html
@@pmlm1571 Thank you for sharing!
Great video.
Great training! Thanks
Teaching my dog to walk out the door properly on the leash has literally saved my life! He is only 22 lbs, but he is strong and almost pulled me down the stairs in my apartment complex face first!
I started doing this with my puppy from day one of leach walking. Not the pulling her back because she was a puppy and is now 15 weeks and what a difference and the getting out of the vehicle. Like Joel's methods
Just started to start the walk inside the house and it changes everything...much better walk
Leash pop has been invaluable to me these past few weeks. I'm working on becoming a dog trainer myself. Both sessions I've used this method, my clients' dogs did a complete 180° after only a few corrections. I knew it'd work, I just didn't know it worked that _fast._
Only problem with this trick at my house is the screen doors that close on their own! I trained a wait/stay at the door, and we use this method everywhere else. Full subscriber of your content, love the channel. I like positive reinforcement for most things, but your whole methodology really helps me correct bad behaviours in a way that's not cruel and the dog fully understands what's up
Great stuff. Many, many thanks.
Change my life too…❤️ thanks
Thank you so much! ❤️
Yes, impulse control. I preach this to my puppy adopters in fact just did a video on impulse control training in seven week old puppies. They gotta have it before they can be trained anything in my opinion. Impulse control, self control, gotta have it and you can start training it in very young puppies. Also, people act WAY too excited when they get ready to take the dog out for a walk.
Hai sir, i am your new subscriber, from india. Interesting your videos💓🐕👍👍
That was super helpful, thank you.
She looks and acts exactly like my dog :D I love Rottweilers. I would love to see more videos with her. He is in training still and your videos are a huge help!
It worked for me!! Thank you! 🙏
I like the video Joel! The only thing I do different is the verbal que. My “Okay” is always a release marker that says the dog is okay to go smell around or play, etc. Typically i would give a recall or other command before offering a correction for non-compliance.
I taught my girls “wait”. So they wait for my release cue if “ok” to go out with me. But can still use a little work when they want to go outside when they see something they want. I have a fully fenced in yard so they can’t get out to the street. I can actually fling the door open and they’ll wait for me to say “ok” to go out the door. That way they don’t rush outside, no pushing but I gotta teach them to check in with me once they go outside.
I also surprise my dog often when walking, especially if he’s in front of me, and change direction to ensure he’s paying attention and changes direction with me. Because he’s always paying attention and knows to never pull, even my t year old son can walk my 165lbs Cane Corso. Makes everything so much easier.
165lbs?! That’s huge! Isn’t that big even by Corso standards?
@@ivyrose779 It’s big, but workin the standard. His father has 12 European championships and his mother 4, so he’s definitely within the standard and taking after his father. I don’t care about that though. I just care he’s healthy, good and guarding and alerting, and a good family dog. That being said, the kids took a lot of training and retraining and he’s always trying to raise his rank above the kids and own them. My 8 year old struggles the most because he knows he can overpower him so he has to be the most contentious with his behavior and training. It’s not a dog that’s just a pet. Everyone needs to be interested in learning about dog behavior and needs an SME in the house who can guide and monitor. Not for people who aren’t passionate about learning dog behavior or really know what they’re doing.
I would love a bit of elaboration on using this method if I use a gentle leader. Is there anything in particular I should be aware of when correcting with the gentle leader?
Joel has a lot of videos for what you are asking. You may need to do some binge-watching. I love it when subscribers write that they don't even have a dog, have no intentions to get a dog, and anticipate Joel’s newest video every day. How, cool is that! ✨
Maybe there aren’t videos on working at the front door of your house, but there are plenty of videos showing how to safety and patiently exit their kennels. To me that is essentially the same lesson on never running out of a doorway without their owners permission. A very valuable and transitional lesson.
Joel has many videos of his LLW method starting in the house before you even get to the front door. 🌟
Thank you!
I wish I could find a trainer like you in OH. I like the trainer I am using but proper dog playing and behavior is what I need to work on and we haven't done that. You are seriously so good at what you do. I try and use your tactics every chance I get.
I started training this with my extremely smart 10 week old miniature dachshund, Georgie, because he was pulling the leash CONSTANTLY and I couldn’t stand it. Even though he’s a puppy, I’m incredibly thankful for this video and glad I taught him this. It took only a day for him to completely change his attitude. It doesn’t matter big or small dogs, they MUST know who’s in charge. They need a leader.
Can't wait to do this with Bronte!!!!
Pure gold!
Running into the reality of this TRUTH
Yea that's huge and key to have the dog checking in constantly. There's where my 9 month old girl flops out. She does great in backyard loose leash training, sit stay, lie down etc but the second we get out in the real word, she's non stop sniffing and looking for other dogs. I've spent about 7 months correcting, switching from chains, prong, gentle leaders (which do work but certain drawbacks, like with the gentle she constantly rubs her face off my leg and read its not good for dobes with their long necks) and then the prong seems to frustrate her especially when another dog passes, making it tough to get by without her melting down. Now this all said, she's in the middle of heat right now so not being too hard on her but this door thing does work if you keep on your dog with it rep after rep, it makes them really have to check in with you. I can't believe i'm still having leash problems with my girl TBH, all my other dobes within 1 month were fantastic but this one has been uber challenging with reactivity issues.
Have you told her, “I'll do this all day, Missy?” Are you the boss? Maybe she doesn't take you seriously.
My latest challenge honestly is my own jelly legs, completely forgetting what I'm supposed to do when faced with a dog. I just got past 3 little dogs with my 2 mastiff/boxer cross. The dogs did SO good, but I need serious work 😫 💖
I will try this tomorrow and give my honest result
i have high drive working collies i would be pulled down the road like mary poppins until i did joel's method its a game changer alright.
I have a 5 1/2 month old westie that does that all the time. Iw ill try and keep up with thuis method. thanks for the great video! new subscriber.
I train tracking dogs for wounded game and I have a dog that is very reactive. I think this method could break a lot of the reactivity. I am usually complemented on how well my "hunting dogs" behave but this one is over the top.
Great video!
Toooo good to be true…….. it works
Brilliant ❤️
Yesss a Rottweiler ! Love seeing Rottweilers due to how stubborn they can be but like Joel says “We can do this all day!”
@@JohnTheRevelat0r couldn’t agree more
What do I do if my door turns the other way?
This HAS changed my life and my two Labs. But one just loses his mind each time he gets to walk, even if its every day. So this sequence helps him calm down in that first 10-15 minutes when he wants to be a jetski, and wastes the energy he needs for the uphills back home.
I live in an apartment complex, my home too small to walk him. Plus the jealous FOMO other Lab needs to be left behind in the small garden.
Here goes....
Door method at front door.
Then the most unlogical slalom method in the parking lot and, around cars, trees, shade parking poles, completely opposite to what he wants to do. Then door method AGAIN at street gate.
Then, slalom to and fro across the street (if its safe) and every object (tree, street pole, street furniture) you can find.
Also, pop leashes on him for every strong pull.
Once he has his mind back and starts walking sort of OK, "reward" every strong pull with a frustrating illogical slalom - to and fro across the street if it's safe, or around tree, bushes, lighting poles.... and pop leash for every nonsense.
EXCEPT.... give him ten or so chances to pee on things when first out of gate.
Hooe this helps someone else with a strong, older Lab / Labradoodle rescue, that has had no training or socialization.
This is very hard to do when the door opens toward you. :( I don't have enough room to get the door open and get ready to correct. Suggestions?
It teaches self control and every behavior is dependent upon that.
At what age do you train a dog with this?
Joel has puppy videos too. They really helped me with my pup. I can't remember what age he said. Start binge watching. He incorporates many trainings, body language explanations, etc., in each video. Start binge-watching his videos. ✨
Do you recommend a regular collar or a maringtale collar best for dogs?
Many external doors open inwards resulting in different movement, physical stance and positions of the handler and dog (compared to an outward opening door). Please can you demonstrate your doorway method with an inwardly opening external door and is there anything you would do differently? Thanks
It's really helping our high energy cocker spaniel - thank you, Joel!
My 1.5 yr old cane corso has good impulse control with the door. I can leave him in a stay and go to the end of my driveway and tell him to come. I can for the most part control his reactivity on walks. But he gets hyper focused and extreme at the neighbors dogs in the backyard through the fence. Meanwhile he is 1 of 4 dogs and the only dog that does this and he is in no way aggressive towards my 3 other dogs. I am starting to educate myself on a collar to help resolve this problem as an option but not the solution. What do you think? Obv he is a cane corso so I’m not overwhelmed by this but do believe I can chance this behavior. Also would neutering help? Not fix the problem but help the communication become clearer?
Thanks for your vids, great stuff. I am not sure how rigid/formal to be abt a “with me” walk vs “go roam” type walk? I assume it’s ok to have a “free”/“check your pee mail” walking mode where I just follow the dog… But do I always need to start structured, like a with me/behind me, and make a big deal of releasing for the “explore ahead of me” walk mode? Have not seen videos that really explain this. Thank you.
I've heard Joel say in his videos that every walk begins and is a “being with me” walk. Consistently is important.
@@User7688.--_ Thank you.
I can’t tell if this channel or the universe is expanding faster😆
Hi, King’s Mom831. 👋 🐾
@@User7688.--_ Hello, my dear 😊
Hmm, I didn't know that door hesitancy is so significant! I'll pay more attention to this with my shelter dogs!
I wish I knew about this. My dog ran out of the house and got hit by a car. This is series shit to pay attention to.
New intro, hell yea!
