Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
Not only was the dog not barking when you let her out the second time, but when she came out she displayed completely different body language too. Not sure if anyone caught that. It’s nuanced, but important.
I had been struggling with the "positive reinforcement" approach for a while but my 14 week old puppy just won't stop barking when I'm in my office. I did the "QUIET... loud noise" technique, and he's been quietly chewing on his bone for the last hour without any more barking or whining. He really got startled and was a bit scared at first but I gave him lots of reinforcement once he was quiet and now he's fine. Sometimes, a little tough, humane love is needed.
I don't think I've ever seen another dog trainer that has such a completely balanced approach.. I have watched hundreds of videos in my quest for something to suit right with me. This sits exactly right. Exactly! Thank you 😁
Years ago I had 4 cats that would claw at the outside of my closed bedroom door to wake me up in the morning, before I was ready to get up. I kept a large paperback book beside my bed, and when they did their clawing thing, I would throw the book at the door, and it made a really loud noise. It only took 2 times and they stopped! It works.
You've reminded me that my cure for the same thing involved getting up, opening the door, ignoring the cats completely (other than blocking them from coming in), and swiftly spritzing the lower part of the door with Ô De Lancôme eau de toilette spray (get a part-used bottle off eBay if you're not going to use it as your actual fragrance - it's kind of expensive as a pet deterrent otherwise!). After that, I'd just shut the door and go back to bed. Cats hate citrussy smells and certainly wouldn't want it on their paws. This worked like a dream for me, and though I have 4 cats, I've only had to use this 'chemical attack' a couple of times before their unwanted behaviour stopped. For any cats that persist with being vocal (rather than merely scratching) - your paperback thump method sounds good, but equally you could just put in some Hearos earplugs or play a white noise recording to drown them out and ignore them (try both!). As you've found, so long as they NEVER get what they want as a result of their unwanted behaviour, it's easy to break the habit. The citrussy spray method would probably work with a dog fussing at something it shouldn't be, too (electrical wires that can't be tucked away, for example) - but I've not tried that, yet. New puppy expected later in the year, so I may get to try it out then, I guess :)
oh i gotta try that. the carpet under my door is DESTOYED and almost completely missing because I always let him in. I'm afraid to make any loud noise because it's usually late at night and I live at home and don't want to wake anyone. but i'l do it anyway bcause fuck it, the carpet situation is worrying my dad a lot so if this can solve it it'll make him happy.
Great “POINT” Barking is negative behavior. You don’t reward it. And every member of the family who interacts with that dog “MUST” to do that. EVERY TIME, even when there is company. Get it over with. And we can’t be nice about it because it’s not “positive” behavior. They are NOT people. And you will get members of the family saying, “you make more noise than the dog does.” You tell them, “QUIET” too. And smack your hands. We look at animals under microscopes. Not the other way around. It’s works with cat’s yowling too. Great video. And he seemed a bit apprehensive explaining that it was not positive reinforcement. I know but really, this is about training the handlers as well as correcting the animal’s behavior. Great job “👍👍
This is a beautiful break down of how to recognize exactly what is being reinforced by our responses. Both the "punishing" on the door and the positive reinforcement of the quiet.
My dad did this when I was growing up each time we got a new dog. They stopped the habit really fast. He did it with we children also, stopping arguing noises or tantrums, or whining from a different room. We shut up fast too, lol. It works! He never had to raise a hand to dog or child. We all knew he was boss, and loved him for it.
My wife hates when I hit the table, acting like I didn't give a friendly warning before. Maybe I should hit the table again to stop the complaining too...
So glad I came across your channel. You really set your apart from all the other trainers and it shows in all of your dogs. Thanks for the great content.
I have a 10 month corgi who barked at ants crawling outside. I've been searching the web for training tips and all the traditional guides have not worked. I tried this method but instead of him behind a door I cued up some TH-cam dog noises (dogs barking, construction etc) to get him to bark. I yelled QUIET in the same stern voice in the video and clapped LOUD. I mean, cup your hands and give it a deep clap, LOUD. It definitely spooked my dog and I waited about 5 seconds and after he made eye contact with me, I gave him a "good boy" and a treat or his favorite toy. I did play a couple rounds of fetch with him in between new noises so he wouldn't be scared of me after the clap. He really was spooked. Now he is sleeping to the dogs barking video. Thanks Beckman!!!!
When I was given my rotti (she was surrendered from a parent’s coworker) she would bark wherever she was. All the training books I read said to ignore the dog as to not positively reinforce the barking. I tried that method & the neighbors called the cops on us. 😅 This method seems more useful.
Holy fu*k I could not believe it. Tried it once on my 11-week puppy and it worked the first time! It's like magic. I went comfort him after 30 seconds of silence and he has settled and slept alone in his crate. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!!!!!
I love that you use training new dogs. I feel like it's easier to learn how to use this on my dog instead of when someone is trying to show on a dog that already listens
Yup. well done. I trained my dogs for several years and the number one tip is learning the behavior of your dog in order to give it the right response. Your life and your dogs life will be so much more relaxed. Thank you for the video!
I like your training videos because you treat the dogs like they have a personality and intelligence (and they have) people are to soft especially to cute things like animals, but to have discipline you have to enforce some things, sometimes.
This is exactly right! Thank you for this video. Sure wish you had a camera in that room. I'm imagining this girl sat down staring at the door thinking, well, that's not what I wanted. Great video.
I don’t understand how you don’t have more subs. I am glad I discovered this channel! Great overall this video a good energetic watch. I don’t agree with it all but man I feel what you’re doing. Bravo
@@christga100 I have no idea what you’re trying to say @ your first sentence haha My take on Joel, I can’t comment much as my dog is already pretty well behaved. He’s not perfect but he’s kinda old so I try not to punish him unless it’s a serious behaviour (like freaking out at another dog). But I really enjoy his video, he has an old dad humour (in a good way) and I love his straight to the point attitude. And he seems pretty genuine to me!
@@christga100 me too! I think his attitude around the dog is what makes it work as well. However call me soft but i can’t bring myself to be too harsh on my 9 year old husky 😭 I don’t really “punish” him but I still try to be the boss around him.
@@christga100 my male husky is far from being aggressive, in fact I’ve never heard him growl in his whole life. He just gets overly excited and wants to meet everyone and every dog! But I’m from Malaysia and we don’t really let our dogs off leash here (unless it’s a dog park)
So I tried to is method on my 6.5 month old Yorkie, but not for barking-for scratching at the door when I’m on the other side. It worked like a charm. Thank you Joel!
Incredible, thanks. I’ve been losing time following positive reinforcement BS to stop barking, which obviously won’t work for the reasons you stated. Thanks!!
For some reason it was hilarious to me when he smacked the door and that little dog shut up. I couldn't wait to try it this morning on my 6 month old puppy and damn, it worked!
Thanks so much for the negative training video. IT WORKED!!! I don't know if you you would advocate this for separation anxiety, but I did try this for separation anxiety. After your loud noise technique, AFTER the third day in a row(of negative training), on day four there was no need to knock on the door. My dog was perfectly quiet. Then on day 1 I left my dog for 1 hour, day two I left for 2 hrs , day 3 I left for 3 hours and you guessed it on day 4 my dog went up to 4 hours quiet. I rarely stay away for more that 4 hours, but I do have a neighbor who will take him out and feed him. Also, I leave him plenty of treats. I forgot to mention I do have a camera, so I could watch him ( walk across the table!!!!! HaHaHa) I learned how to stop that by pushing the chairs close to the table. I love my adopted dog. Thank you again!
Finally! Sensible advice! We just brought home an 8 week old pup and trying to make his crate a fun place by feeding him in it, tossing treats in and waiting for him to stop whining is so not working. I am going to try this tomorrow and am betting it will be the solution I’m looking for. Thank you😀🐶
From Australia, man love your commonsense vids......no nonsense and not always about treat here and treat there for everything. Learning a lot from your vids.....Keep up the excellent work. Cheers
Im in my 80's. All the other dogs I've had in my life have been trained like kids. Behave well, be rewarded and comfortable. Behave badly, get uncomfortable consequences. It wasn't hard. Just watch them, love them, and act accordingly. But now - got a puppy from the shelter and there's all this advice about never using the word no. Use tons of treats to provoke good behavior, etc. Puppy class trainer showed us how to lead puppy around with peanut butter on a big spoon and give multiple treats. The puppy is very smart, very quick, very feisty so she plays on the treat thing for all she's worth and i end up struggling, struggling with her. And yes, i was doing it "right." Then i see a British training video where guy teaches to act totally in charge, say no when needed and yes, reward good behavior with treats occasionally and praising voice. Puppy immediately responds and feels as if finally we are actually going for a walk. Of course, never scream your puppy's name in panic or anger. Stay calm, be in charge, sound in charge, repeat as often as necessary and as long as necessary. Back to common sense. Yay!
Followed your advice here for a new 1 year old rescue that's being crate trained. On Day 3, I have completely eliminated the barking using this method only 3 times (Bark > "Quiet!" > Rattle the crate)
Thank you! Everyone is so worried about hurting their dogs feelings. I cannot stand unnecessary barking....especially when I am living in a townhouse. You can't allow your dogs to become a pain in the butt to your neighborhood. My neighbors 2 dogs hit the side of the privacy fence and bark at my little guy and me. A lot of times it scares him so he runs back inside. My dog never barks....it is so miserable to live this way.
Great video. Thank you. Any suggestions on how to get my 9 year old Labradoodle and now my 6 month old Australian Labradoodle to stop barking at people and particularly delivery trucks outside. The new pup is following his queues and barking when he barks. They both sit at the bay window and bark whenever anything is outside. Thank you
One of the things I really do appreciate that you don't push the Subscribe/ like button.. I have watched multiple videos of yours and you've never asked/ IT'S amazing BTW TY.
I’m guessing this person just appreciates not being asked to do something that 99% (yup, totally did the math lol) of TH-cam users know is a thing, that it gives feedback to the content creator, and further the liking/subscribing/commenting also benefits said content creator. One of the things that influenced me to subscribe is his no nonsense practical attitude coupled with training that makes sense (to me). ‘Smashing that like button and not forgetting to subscribe’ falls under the practical heading of being a given/goes without saying. I could also be projecting and my interpretation completely off base.
You do amazing job helping many dogs and people, I love your channel! Can I apply this specific method also on a 8 week´s old puppy? I would not like to make her scared when hitting the door and possibly make things even worse...we are from Czech Republic - Peter & Betty the beagle - Thank you and Good Luck!
This makes absolute sense. I did the same thing to my puppy when I brought her home and put her in her kennel. The first 2 nights she was next to our bed in the kennel with the kennel covered. That first night she started to bark. When she did I said quiet and hit the top of her kennel. Didn’t have to do it but one time. I learned that trick from McCann’s Dogs on what to do the first night when you bring your puppy home. It works!!!
Seriously wtf this method, i have a pup for 6 months tried everything. In the bench she is always barking. Now i did this it only took 5 mins now i do her in the bench and she is not barking. Thank you so much😊
The best and simplest method! Awesome. I actually made it worse following another video where the trainer said to train the dog to bark on command saying that will help the dog understand because the barking will only get reinforced when prompted. Sounds ok, but takes a long time (half a day) and made it worse than better.
Appreciate your content Joel. Was curious to see a fellow Beckman's method and I find your lessons very clear and important. Could you do another video on other types of barking - people or animals outside, knocking on doors etc?
This is basically what people always used to do with their barking dogs ! - long before we had Dog Trainers - it is common sense - it is like everyone now has forgotten what they saw and knew growing up - or maybe everyone just grew up in animal free homes ! ? I struggle to explain what looks to me - like learnt stupidity / helplessness by dog owners. Good on Joel for reminding everyone of the basics to dog ownership / training - which is logical / works and is not based on mindlessly giving treats ! !
I have a collie and he's pretty good.... but there are times when he sees other dogs and maybe because he is a puppy he gets excited that if the other dog barks, Dante chimes in. I've snapped the lead sideways with a quiet. This is tough. Love the methods you teach.
u need a different way of correction to startle the dog after saying NO; ie. say NO loud and clap your hands hard, or say NO and use a can of pennies and shake it or throw it on the floor.
I used a radio set to LOUD and used a remote to mute the radiosound. I went out reach/sight of the dog and waited for him to start barking. Than I turned mute off so the dog would hear a loud radio noice, took me 2 times than he was cured :)
You're right, you won't find it on You Tube but you will find it being used by many of us in the field working who know this is very effective method in stopping reinforced barking.
I have a five month year old puppy with a lot of screeching from his playpen mostly for attention I’m imagining or for not being able to see me directly in another room. How do I handle that? You are the first Trainer I am following.😊
I wish I knew this method a long time ago, when my parents have bought a Yorkshire Terrier for my sister. I came across this channel today, and I love it! Moreover, as I want to have an Alaskan Malamute or a Samoyed in the future (I'd like it to behave a lot better than her York). I'm smashing these "like" buttons xD
Fantastic video. Love this technique. Can I ask how you would use this method if the dog was on the same side of the door as you and wanting to go out? Would you approach and tap the door next to the dog?
got a 9 month old staffy from someone, barked non stop, i could not sleep.... i tried a few other things that was not effective, i then found this months ago and tried it... put the dog in small room, when he barked i did exactly as you said... i done this a few times inside and as time went on i done the exact thing when he was outside, id wait by the door or window and wait for the bark and do the same no, then bang on the door or window... over 1 week, it pretty much eliminated it. this works really well.
Great video, but I am wondering about other types of barking. One of our dogs barks incessantly every time we let him out in the backyard, or take him out in the front on a leash. Pretty sure it isn't fear related, he just likes barking at nothing, or any of our neighbors, or squirrels or nothing again. The positive reinforcement method for fixing this is slow, and so far ineffective.
This is great! What about dogs that bark at front door sounds (knocks, doorbells, or just people walking by)? I'm struggling with correcting my dog when he barks at the door.
i had a problem wirh the door bell. i got over this with a solid go to your bed and stay there until you are released command. i put in about a 1000reps in a distraction free environment using a slip lead to reinforce staying on the bed. then, i got about 20 people to come to my home one person at a time, stay for a very short time and ignore the dog like its not there.
Our dog barks at every single vehicle that goes in front of our house and barks at any outside noise she hears. She is a very sweet female lab retriever. We adopted her five years ago. Totally inside dog.
Hey there! Loving the videos. What would you do for a dog that barks at the front door or window? We have an Akita that has taught all of our dogs to bark at anything and everything they see through windows or front doors
Whats the approach if/when the dog becomes sensitized to it? I had done a similar thing with a bottle of water and coins inside the bottle - you shake or smack the bottle when theyre doing something and that startles them. After a couple days he eventually became used to it and ignored the shake and continued the behavior
Thanks! Going to try a can with screws in it can for my dogs incessant and ridiculous barking! We did that with a previous dog and I completely forgot about it! We are used to it, but her baby sitters who love her are not fans!
😻This is how we taught our dogs not to bark in their crates. Bark! Smack the top of the crate. Quiet for like 5 seconds.... good boy! Barking in the crates was fixed in one night.
@@christga100 that's not how dogs work. I smacked my dogs crate when he was barking on his first night and he still goes in and out willingly and freely. Don't worry about treating them like a dog. As this guy says your not hitting the dog. Also my dog never barks in the crate or really at all now.
I guess it's case sensitive, the dog in the video learned that barking is not an way out of the room. If you correct your dog for barking at people passing by it should be different from entering your house, for example. He already shown that a dog shouldn't be all bark and anxious if you allowed the person in your property, I believe it is in dogs nature to alarm you something is wrong. Mine doesn't bark at everything, but certain triggers, I correct her when it's not related to our house (like a horse passing by) but if it's a stranger acting suspicious right at our door, I allow her, I check it, and pet her, she stops after.
I'll say what he is not saying...just like you discipline a child you discipline a dog. They are young, curious and naive so they really dont know any better. Sometimes children as well as adults only learn a lesson through physical examples and even then they shouldn't be excessive. I'll admit when I started watching this channel I was intrigued but very startled at the physical aspect of the training. I have watched a bunch of channels about training methods and I realized this is some of the most effective methods for dogs that are not puppies anymore. I own a (9yr) Pit mix who is an incredible dog with humans but is a serious problem when meeting new dogs as well as suffering from SEVERE separation anxiety. I have spent $1000's of dollars on doors/carpets he has SHREDDED whilst "trapped" behind, blinds, clothes, weak crates he has rusted and bent to escape, woodwork from chewing entrances etc... This has haunted/prevented my choice of living situations and roommates etc.. This channel works if you have the time and are consistent. "Bacon" will be 9 in October and he has learned 2 things since I have started watching this channel like 4 months ago at most. THANK YOU!!!!
We have two American Akita’s. One of them becomes very excited anytime she is in the car. When we pull up to a drive-through window she will bark incessantly. Not aggressively but just excited. How can we correct this behavior. There is a gate that keeps them in the back of the car so they’re not sitting on our laps. But this also makes it difficult to access them. Really enjoy your content and have learned so much.
Hi ,, love your video,, how about living in a Victorian house , adjoining living room wall , to neighbour , their dogs bark non stop when they leave ,, have spoken to them they are not interested.. and have told them it’s obvious they have separation anxiety, is their a device I can buy and speaker to penetrate through to their wall to shut them up ?? As I can hear them they can hear me . Thanks
I try to do this with our beagle and mixed breed. Unfortunately I’m constantly told to positively reinforce to stop their barking (which does not make any sense to me) all I see it doing is reinforcing the barking and anxiousness … they get our attention and get to be played with (supposed to be distracting them from the puppy next door or dogs yapping over the back fence)… How are they to know it’s an unwanted bark if they get to then play with us or get our positive attention.
My daughters Cocker Spaniel barks at every little sound coming from outside as well as when he hears someone at the door. I’d be interested to know what your strategy would be to stop this behaviour. Thanks
I really like your approach . I have now watched two videos. Could you do one on reactive barking at the door ? Of course we want them to naturally alert us but after 1-2 barks , then what? They get into a frenzy . So frustrating . Id love to see your practical approach to that.
Yes, I have an alert barker. Catches me off guard and can’t replicate it to work on it. Barks especially when seeing or hearing something he doesn’t think should be there. Today we were in the car and he barked at the car in front of us with 2 canoes on top of the car.
i had the problem of reactive barking at the door bell. i got over this with a solid go to your bed abd stay there until you are released. i put in about a 1000reps in a distraction free environment using a slip lead to reinforce staying on the bed. then, i got about 20 people to come to my home one person at a time and ignore the dog like its not there.
Joel has a specific video on barking. Give more videos a look. Also, know that in each video, he incorporates many different behaviors and what to do. Enjoy binge-watching!
Our 6 month puppy that we got as a rescue at 4 months came crate trained and potty trained. The only time she has barked (at night) is when she has had diarrhea in the middle of the night, which has happened about 3 times since we have had her. She will bark when we put her in the kennel during the day (when we are eating or leaving the house). I don't want her to bark then, but I do want her to let us know if she needs us in the middle of the night. If I use this method, will she stop barking at night if she really does need us?

My daughter’s BRT was never a crazy annoying barker but they taught her to bark on command and that fixed what little unnecessary barking the dog did

@@christga100 I have no idea what you’re trying to say @ your first sentence haha
My take on Joel, I can’t comment much as my dog is already pretty well behaved. He’s not perfect but he’s kinda old so I try not to punish him unless it’s a serious behaviour (like freaking out at another dog). But I really enjoy his video, he has an old dad humour (in a good way) and I love his straight to the point attitude. And he seems pretty genuine to me!
@@christga100 me too! I think his attitude around the dog is what makes it work as well. However call me soft but i can’t bring myself to be too harsh on my 9 year old husky 😭 I don’t really “punish” him but I still try to be the boss around him.
@@christga100 my male husky is far from being aggressive, in fact I’ve never heard him growl in his whole life. He just gets overly excited and wants to meet everyone and every dog! But I’m from Malaysia and we don’t really let our dogs off leash here (unless it’s a dog park)
This works so well! We didn’t know what to do, and what we were doing wasn’t working. Thank you!
I have used this method for every dog I've had in the last 30 years. Worked with every dog.
So I tried to is method on my 6.5 month old Yorkie, but not for barking-for scratching at the door when I’m on the other side. It worked like a charm. Thank you Joel!
Incredible, thanks. I’ve been losing time following positive reinforcement BS to stop barking, which obviously won’t work for the reasons you stated. Thanks!!
You nailed it. No BS, simple advice that works.
So logical. So effective. So positive with humane teaching.
For some reason it was hilarious to me when he smacked the door and that little dog shut up.
I couldn't wait to try it this morning on my 6 month old puppy and damn, it worked!
I'm learning so much through your videos! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the negative training video. IT WORKED!!! I don't know if you you would advocate this for separation anxiety, but I did try this for separation anxiety. After your loud noise technique, AFTER the third day in a row(of negative training), on day four there was no need to knock on the door. My dog was perfectly quiet. Then on day 1 I left my dog for 1 hour, day two I left for 2 hrs , day 3 I left for 3 hours and you guessed it on day 4 my dog went up to 4 hours quiet. I rarely stay away for more that 4 hours, but I do have a neighbor who will take him out and feed him. Also, I leave him plenty of treats. I forgot to mention I do have a camera, so I could watch him ( walk across the table!!!!! HaHaHa) I learned how to stop that by pushing the chairs close to the table. I love my adopted dog. Thank you again!
Finally! Sensible advice! We just brought home an 8 week old pup and trying to make his crate a fun place by feeding him in it, tossing treats in and waiting for him to stop whining is so not working. I am going to try this tomorrow and am betting it will be the solution I’m looking for. Thank you😀🐶
From Australia, man love your commonsense vids......no nonsense and not always about treat here and treat there for everything. Learning a lot from your vids.....Keep up the excellent work. Cheers
I always leave smarter than when I first came in. Nicely done!
The best dog trainer ive come across. Thanks!!!!!!
I just tried this at 1130 at night…. It worked 😍, I’m standing outside of the room 3 minutes now and nothing🙌🏽
I love this
Im in my 80's. All the other dogs I've had in my life have been trained like kids. Behave well, be rewarded and comfortable. Behave badly, get uncomfortable consequences. It wasn't hard. Just watch them, love them, and act accordingly.
But now - got a puppy from the shelter and there's all this advice about never using the word no. Use tons of treats to provoke good behavior, etc. Puppy class trainer showed us how to lead puppy around with peanut butter on a big spoon and give multiple treats. The puppy is very smart, very quick, very feisty so she plays on the treat thing for all she's worth and i end up struggling, struggling with her. And yes, i was doing it "right."
Then i see a British training video where guy teaches to act totally in charge, say no when needed and yes, reward good behavior with treats occasionally and praising voice. Puppy immediately responds and feels as if finally we are actually going for a walk. Of course, never scream your puppy's name in panic or anger. Stay calm, be in charge, sound in charge, repeat as often as necessary and as long as necessary. Back to common sense. Yay!
Followed your advice here for a new 1 year old rescue that's being crate trained. On Day 3, I have completely eliminated the barking using this method only 3 times (Bark > "Quiet!" > Rattle the crate)
Thank you! Everyone is so worried about hurting their dogs feelings. I cannot stand unnecessary barking....especially when I am living in a townhouse. You can't allow your dogs to become a pain in the butt to your neighborhood. My neighbors 2 dogs hit the side of the privacy fence and bark at my little guy and me. A lot of times it scares him so he runs back inside. My dog never barks....it is so miserable to live this way.
The organism will always do what previously made it successful.
Interrupt that and you'll see a massive difference.
Loved this video.
"The organism" 😂
True though
Absolutely works. Thanks for the reassurance and confidence of how i train.
YOU are my soul sibling. Thanks for posting, I watch every day.
Thank you
Great video. Thank you.
Any suggestions on how to get my 9 year old Labradoodle and now my 6 month old Australian Labradoodle to stop barking at people and particularly delivery trucks outside.
The new pup is following his queues and barking when he barks.
They both sit at the bay window and bark whenever anything is outside.
Thank you
One of the things I really do appreciate that you don't push the
Subscribe/ like button.. I have watched multiple videos of yours and you've never asked/ IT'S amazing BTW TY.
so you reinforced the not asking by pushing the subscribe button, right?
Doesn’t help Joel and his family though. Nice going.
I’m guessing this person just appreciates not being asked to do something that 99% (yup, totally did the math lol) of TH-cam users know is a thing, that it gives feedback to the content creator, and further the liking/subscribing/commenting also benefits said content creator. One of the things that influenced me to subscribe is his no nonsense practical attitude coupled with training that makes sense (to me). ‘Smashing that like button and not forgetting to subscribe’ falls under the practical heading of being a given/goes without saying. I could also be projecting and my interpretation completely off base.
I love watching Beckman he is very entertaining 😊
You do amazing job helping many dogs and people, I love your channel! Can I apply this specific method also on a 8 week´s old puppy? I would not like to make her scared when hitting the door and possibly make things even worse...we are from Czech Republic - Peter & Betty the beagle - Thank you and Good Luck!
This makes absolute sense. I did the same thing to my puppy when I brought her home and put her in her kennel. The first 2 nights she was next to our bed in the kennel with the kennel covered. That first night she started to bark. When she did I said quiet and hit the top of her kennel. Didn’t have to do it but one time. I learned that trick from McCann’s Dogs on what to do the first night when you bring your puppy home.
It works!!!
Excellent video, but could you show us how to stop a dog barking when someone comes to the front door please?
Nr 1 place for dog advice! Thank you!! There is a great market for you, sir, in Child upbringing as well;)
Seriously wtf this method, i have a pup for 6 months tried everything. In the bench she is always barking. Now i did this it only took 5 mins now i do her in the bench and she is not barking. Thank you so much😊
The best and simplest method! Awesome. I actually made it worse following another video where the trainer said to train the dog to bark on command saying that will help the dog understand because the barking will only get reinforced when prompted. Sounds ok, but takes a long time (half a day) and made it worse than better.
Appreciate your content Joel. Was curious to see a fellow Beckman's method and I find your lessons very clear and important. Could you do another video on other types of barking - people or animals outside, knocking on doors etc?
Cool, I don’t meet another Beckman everyday, you must be a great guy.
This is basically what people always used to do with their barking dogs ! - long before we had Dog Trainers - it is common sense - it is like everyone now has forgotten what they saw and knew growing up - or maybe everyone just grew up in animal free homes ! ?
I struggle to explain what looks to me - like learnt stupidity / helplessness by dog owners.
Good on Joel for reminding everyone of the basics to dog ownership / training - which is logical / works and is not based on mindlessly giving treats ! !
I have a collie and he's pretty good.... but there are times when he sees other dogs and maybe because he is a puppy he gets excited that if the other dog barks, Dante chimes in. I've snapped the lead sideways with a quiet. This is tough. Love the methods you teach.
Finally, a barking video. Thank you.
This is great. But what would I do about constant alert barking. Or barking for attention or play? (And dog is not in a crate or another room)
u need a different way of correction to startle the dog after saying NO; ie. say NO loud and clap your hands hard, or say NO and use a can of pennies and shake it or throw it on the floor.
I used a radio set to LOUD and used a remote to mute the radiosound. I went out reach/sight of the dog and waited for him to start barking. Than I turned mute off so the dog would hear a loud radio noice, took me 2 times than he was cured :)
Same method and being very consistent
You're right, you won't find it on You Tube but you will find it being used by many of us in the field working who know this is very effective method in stopping reinforced barking.
I have a five month year old puppy with a lot of screeching from his playpen mostly for attention I’m imagining or for not being able to see me directly in another room.
How do I handle that? You are the first Trainer I am following.😊
Wow!! I am totally on board with this and will be using! Thank you
That is one adorable dog!
I wish I knew this method a long time ago, when my parents have bought a Yorkshire Terrier for my sister. I came across this channel today, and I love it! Moreover, as I want to have an Alaskan Malamute or a Samoyed in the future (I'd like it to behave a lot better than her York). I'm smashing these "like" buttons xD
@Mateusz M Be prepared for a talking dog if you get a husky/malamute. They are very vocal. Not barking but howling. Look at Sherpa's TH-cam channel.
@Mateusz M And, you subscribed! Very cool.
Joel: “quiet!” *slaps door*
Dog: 👁👄👁
I was expecting a 💩
Awesome, never seen this technique anywhere.
Good for you. Great timing.
This really works! Super simple and works quickly!
Fantastic video. Love this technique. Can I ask how you would use this method if the dog was on the same side of the door as you and wanting to go out? Would you approach and tap the door next to the dog?
This reminds me of people in the store who give into crying children and reward them for crying and throwing fits.
Exactly! So, what would happen if you didn't weed your garden?.......you gotta correct it, right? 🙂
Yep same principle. Discipline! Boundaries.
got a 9 month old staffy from someone, barked non stop, i could not sleep.... i tried a few other things that was not effective, i then found this months ago and tried it... put the dog in small room, when he barked i did exactly as you said... i done this a few times inside and as time went on i done the exact thing when he was outside, id wait by the door or window and wait for the bark and do the same no, then bang on the door or window... over 1 week, it pretty much eliminated it. this works really well.
Great video, but I am wondering about other types of barking. One of our dogs barks incessantly every time we let him out in the backyard, or take him out in the front on a leash. Pretty sure it isn't fear related, he just likes barking at nothing, or any of our neighbors, or squirrels or nothing again. The positive reinforcement method for fixing this is slow, and so far ineffective.
This is great! What about dogs that bark at front door sounds (knocks, doorbells, or just people walking by)? I'm struggling with correcting my dog when he barks at the door.
It lets anyone sussing out your home you’ve a dog. These people note whose home has a dog.
That’s a great question…you want the dog to scare off would-be intruders, yes? So how do you get them to bark just enough? Or is there such a thing?
@@Aimless_Red they usually stop when the “ threat” has walked past.
i had a problem wirh the door bell. i got over this with a solid go to your bed and stay there until you are released command. i put in about a 1000reps in a distraction free environment using a slip lead to reinforce staying on the bed. then, i got about 20 people to come to my home one person at a time, stay for a very short time and ignore the dog like its not there.
Tanks for this important video! I want to try this method!
Our dog barks at every single vehicle that goes in front of our house and barks at any outside noise she hears. She is a very sweet female lab retriever. We adopted her five years ago. Totally inside dog.
I've tried this video with both my dogs but they're still barking. Gonna have to make them watch it AGAIN!
😥
@Anton Gully 😄 😄😄 Good joke. But this works. You need to do the work...
I just noticed I did the wrong “face”. Meant to do this 😂
👍🏼
Try shaking a coke can fill of pennies (when the dog is in the room). Scared the living daylights out of my dog and stopped her barking!
Great advice, thank you so much!
Hey there! Loving the videos. What would you do for a dog that barks at the front door or window?
We have an Akita that has taught all of our dogs to bark at anything and everything they see through windows or front doors
Whats the approach if/when the dog becomes sensitized to it? I had done a similar thing with a bottle of water and coins inside the bottle - you shake or smack the bottle when theyre doing something and that startles them. After a couple days he eventually became used to it and ignored the shake and continued the behavior
Thanks! Going to try a can with screws in it can for my dogs incessant and ridiculous barking! We did that with a previous dog and I completely forgot about it! We are used to it, but her baby sitters who love her are not fans!
😻This is how we taught our dogs not to bark in their crates. Bark! Smack the top of the crate. Quiet for like 5 seconds.... good boy! Barking in the crates was fixed in one night.
@@christga100 that's not how dogs work. I smacked my dogs crate when he was barking on his first night and he still goes in and out willingly and freely. Don't worry about treating them like a dog. As this guy says your not hitting the dog. Also my dog never barks in the crate or really at all now.
@@christga100 no I meant what I said. That's not how dogs work. If your a snowflake that's your problem not mine.
Thanks for your videos! At what age could we start this with our puppy?
You are awesome! Thank you🐾❤️
Thanks so much
Well demonstrated. This makes sense .
This is awesome! I have one question: Will this cause the dog to not bark when he should? For example, when a burglar or unwelcome visitor shows up.
I guess it's case sensitive, the dog in the video learned that barking is not an way out of the room. If you correct your dog for barking at people passing by it should be different from entering your house, for example.
He already shown that a dog shouldn't be all bark and anxious if you allowed the person in your property, I believe it is in dogs nature to alarm you something is wrong. Mine doesn't bark at everything, but certain triggers, I correct her when it's not related to our house (like a horse passing by) but if it's a stranger acting suspicious right at our door, I allow her, I check it, and pet her, she stops after.
I agree , I have my dogs for protection , but if they stop barking to be let out what will they do if they want out of that room to go potty ect
I'll say what he is not saying...just like you discipline a child you discipline a dog. They are young, curious and naive so they really dont know any better. Sometimes children as well as adults only learn a lesson through physical examples and even then they shouldn't be excessive. I'll admit when I started watching this channel I was intrigued but very startled at the physical aspect of the training. I have watched a bunch of channels about training methods and I realized this is some of the most effective methods for dogs that are not puppies anymore. I own a (9yr) Pit mix who is an incredible dog with humans but is a serious problem when meeting new dogs as well as suffering from SEVERE separation anxiety. I have spent $1000's of dollars on doors/carpets he has SHREDDED whilst "trapped" behind, blinds, clothes, weak crates he has rusted and bent to escape, woodwork from chewing entrances etc... This has haunted/prevented my choice of living situations and roommates etc.. This channel works if you have the time and are consistent. "Bacon" will be 9 in October and he has learned 2 things since I have started watching this channel like 4 months ago at most. THANK YOU!!!!
We have two American Akita’s. One of them becomes very excited anytime she is in the car. When we pull up to a drive-through window she will bark incessantly. Not aggressively but just excited. How can we correct this behavior. There is a gate that keeps them in the back of the car so they’re not sitting on our laps. But this also makes it difficult to access them. Really enjoy your content and have learned so much.
Simple and genius! 😅😅😅
Hi ,, love your video,, how about living in a Victorian house , adjoining living room wall , to neighbour , their dogs bark non stop when they leave ,, have spoken to them they are not interested.. and have told them it’s obvious they have separation anxiety, is their a device I can buy and speaker to penetrate through to their wall to shut them up ?? As I can hear them they can hear me . Thanks
This guy is phenomenal
"Quiet"... Made me want to watch Cobra Kai again...
I try to do this with our beagle and mixed breed. Unfortunately I’m constantly told to positively reinforce to stop their barking (which does not make any sense to me) all I see it doing is reinforcing the barking and anxiousness … they get our attention and get to be played with (supposed to be distracting them from the puppy next door or dogs yapping over the back fence)…
How are they to know it’s an unwanted bark if they get to then play with us or get our positive attention.
Joel, many thanks for your video series. How would you deal with a dog that barks at animals or anything that looks like an animal seen on a TV?
My daughters Cocker Spaniel barks at every little sound coming from outside as well as when he hears someone at the door. I’d be interested to know what your strategy would be to stop this behaviour. Thanks
Excellent video thank you..
I really like your approach . I have now watched two videos. Could you do one on reactive barking at the door ? Of course we want them to naturally alert us but after 1-2 barks , then what? They get into a frenzy . So frustrating . Id love to see your practical approach to that.
Yes please do a video on reactive barking at the door and every noise and person they see .
Yes, I have an alert barker. Catches me off guard and can’t replicate it to work on it. Barks especially when seeing or hearing something he doesn’t think should be there. Today we were in the car and he barked at the car in front of us with 2 canoes on top of the car.
@Linda, sorry about your doggie barking at everything, but the last -barking at the canoes and how you said it was funny. 😂
i had the problem of reactive barking at the door bell. i got over this with a solid go to your bed abd stay there until you are released. i put in about a 1000reps in a distraction free environment using a slip lead to reinforce staying on the bed. then, i got about 20 people to come to my home one person at a time and ignore the dog like its not there.
Joel has a specific video on barking. Give more videos a look. Also, know that in each video, he incorporates many different behaviors and what to do. Enjoy binge-watching!
I love you so much for this video 😂❤ thanks a lot!!!
Not with a puppy, right? At what age does this become appropriate? And how would you handle puppy barking?
What if the dog does it when they're outside?
Our 6 month puppy that we got as a rescue at 4 months came crate trained and potty trained. The only time she has barked (at night) is when she has had diarrhea in the middle of the night, which has happened about 3 times since we have had her. She will bark when we put her in the kennel during the day (when we are eating or leaving the house). I don't want her to bark then, but I do want her to let us know if she needs us in the middle of the night. If I use this method, will she stop barking at night if she really does need us?
