I raised my beautiful Pittie adhering faithfully to Cesar's philosophy and techniques, including unique sound and touch. She grew up to be happy-go-lucky, sweet, balanced, and never showed any signs of aggression whatsoever. I lost her to cancer just over a year ago and I miss her every day.
So sorry. That sounds like my story exactly. Also lost my 'model citizen' pittie to cancer in Dec 2021. Cesar Milan's techniques (plus an excellent temperament to begin with) made her turn heads everywhere I went.
I'm a dog walker. Most of the dogs I come across are "trained" but the owners are still struggling with them. Thanks to your techniques I have been able to gain better control of the dogs. Its helping my business grow but more importantly the owners have a better relationship with their dogs. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@spatrk6634 the dog they got may have to too much energy for the owner (schedule or health wise). it is good socialization too for dog to be walked by more than 1 person, imo.
My father is a lifelong horse trainer. He taught me the importance of timing and a confident demeanor. Both things are respected by horses and dogs. Both you and Cesar use those techniques in a masterful way. Thank you for showing us how to at least attempt the way you teach dogs. We surely appreciate it.
It's funny how similar handling horses is to handling dogs. My dog has an anxiety disorder and before he got his medication he had severe panic attacks in even the most common situations that led to him biting (me - because I wouldn't let him bite anyone else). When all my learned training strategies proved to be in vain, I decided to try how I used to be around horses. Back when I was riding I was often dealing with the "problem horses" that other students couldn't handle. My dog started to make progress almost immediately as we were able to build a relationship from the base of that strategy.
Oh man, I've seen timid horse "trainers" who end up working with a willful horse. Never ends well. Animals are not stupid they can tell who is the boss and who they can mess with in about 5 seconds of meeting you.
@@bslizardette4669 Panic Attacks? he's a dog, not a human. Do you walk him? It might be you who has the anxiety and the dog is picking up on that 'weakness'. Just sayin'.
@@carolynevers7924 I call his intense anxiety attacks panic attacks because he would go into a blind fear aggression mode and bite anything he could - many dog trainers call this "the red zone". My dog also never had a chance to develop a basic sense of security during his first two years of life - and when his problem intensified during the fear period and puberty, his owner was completely incapable of handling him even with professional help. I spent a good amount of money at the vet to make sure nothing else was causing his behavioral issues and although he has some absorption and skin issues, nothing in the tests could indicate a reason for the complete lack of emotional control that he has. The vet prescribed him fluoxetine (same medication used in humans to treat anxiety and depression) and with the proper medicine, we've been able to tackle all the triggers he's gained in the past eight years. His quality of life is loads better - as is mine, seeing how he hasn't bit me since - and we've made much more progress than I'd dared to hope this fast. We even managed to use public transportation (at the quiet hour, but still) when his last owner said that he used to spend all the time launching at any strangers because of his stress levels. So, yes, I call them panic attacks and hope that they're finally in the past.
...because of your teachings, training my dog I get compliments. People mistake me for a trainer. I tell them to check you out. Thanks Bossman. That's your new name 👍
i swear every time I start playing one of your videos, my dog stops whatever she’s doing, sits and gives me a look like she’s ready for todays lesson 😂
Joel your methods work!! On my rednose street-rescue, reactive dominant pitbull who I had (wrongfully! I'm sorry!!😢) tried to train with an e-collar, prong, sliplead; I had basically reinforced his dominance because we had been approached by stray dogs (Akita, Ger Shep, Husky) picking a fight with my dog (pinned them without hurting them then they run away) ... Anyway been doing your Loose Leash Method since July and had immediate vast improvement. But then we were stuck at a stage where he wouldn't pull but he would just stand in one place and bark/cry at the other dog. (October till now) Well! Yesterday one of my neighbors had a GSD & Lab running around wildly barking behind a wrought-iron fence and GUESS WHAT!!! My Charlie and I walked by with no pulling, no barking!!! One little whine and his breathing was sped up but it was SO WONDERFUL and I just hv to say THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!!!! And he's 9 years old! So it's never too late to see the Beckman Method change lives for the better🐾❤️
I must say… this is pretty accurate. My puppy had a nipping problem and we did everything that our trainer told us to do and it never worked. From ignoring, giving a chew toy, etc. One day i randomly started making unique sound which was like an “eh eh eh”… for some reason it worked… instantly. After like a day or two, she stopped nipping. Didn’t even reward or give a toy or had to stay still. Just the “eh eh eh” worked. I think the unique touch is missing so I’m glad I saw this to use this in our repertoire as well. Love your videos.
No idea where I got it from but I use the same noise with our australian goldendoodle! Reminds me of a TV gameshow buzzer sound when someone runs out of time or gives the wrong answer lol
I use a very deep “no” almost sounds like a bark which was completely accidental so i find more fun in using the no than using other sounds like “ah ah”
I have learned a ton from Cesar Milan. As the poster below me said. No touch, no talk, no eye contact. This works. I also have used my body to block my dog to keep him from leash pulling. I have an aussie and he loved to pull me around. Every time he pulled out in front of me, I would block him by standing in front of him and making him sit. It took a few times then he quit. I noticed also that when I did this training he started paying attention to me instead of looking all over the place. He looks up at me every few seconds to see if I require any other behaviors from him. I can take him off leash now on my property (8 acres) I do not permit him to be off leash anywhere else.
I had a German Wirehaired Pointer who everyone wanted because she was so well behaved. I endlessly explained she didn't come that way. You have to put in the work to have a well mannered dog. I do use 'down' for lay down, and 'off' to get off things or not jump up. I also teach 'wait'. This tells my dog to wait for the ok to go forward when we come to a gate, door, open the car car, etc.. It seems I have been using this method and never realized it. And only a few will understand this - I had Jack Russell Terrorist who earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate. Yeah - terriers CAN be well mannered. ;-) I love seeing these training videos the use sense for teaching dogs.
I have a BC/wire haired something mix that is super anxious but I do use wait for the car, door, etc. Lately, he has learned to look to me before I even say it, mostly due to the loose leash/pop technique from Beckmann
Hey I just wanted to say thank you for posting your videos and techniques. It has completely changed the way I view training my two blue nose pitties. The amount of progress they have seriously made in 2-3 weeks of your methods is monumental. Thank you for doing as good of a job training people to help their dogs as you do training dogs themselves
Ever agree with someone fully and feel that sense of joy well up inside because of being a kindred spirit? I have used Cesar’s ‘hand bite’ and ‘Psst’ for over 10 years. With my last Golden the touch was no longer needed. There were different timings and tones of the ‘Psst’ though, anything from ‘Focus’ to ‘’Heel in’ to ‘You know better than that, we’re not going THERE, are we?’ In the middle writing that last sentence I could tell my 4 m.o. Golden needed to go out. He decided it would be more interesting to tear around the room and hide. I used a loud ‘Psst’ to get him to stop and caught his eye. I had his leash in my hand by then and when he stopped he didn’t follow my command of ‘Sit’. And I just stared him down, using the energy/body language that told him this wasn’t a game. He sat, I saw that hyper energy leave him, I snapped on the lead and it was over. Thanks so much for your videos. I have a battle going on with the wife right now, as she is setting up camp with the Purely Positive crowd. Your clips are my allies.
This video earned you a sub. I've only had 5 of my own dogs in my 66 years as I'm a one dog at a time kinda guy. My first dog at age 21 was a Cocker Spaniel that I trained to hunt pheasant. The next was a Lab to hunt waterfowl and I trained her to do blind retrieves. She was a great dog. The third, a Standard Poodle, was a little bit dog aggressive. I trained him with an ecollar, at the lowest setting he would respond to, as we live rural and rarely leash our dogs for walks. I needed a good strong recall for him. When he passed we got a Miniature Poodle and had him in Master's Class in Agility when he passed from cancer at age 8. Our neighbors got a Border Collie puppy and had her for 2 weeks before taking her to the Humane Society because they couldn't house break her or keep her from chewing up their house. We adopted her and she's going to be 2 this month. To this point she's the easiest dog I've ever trained. She tries so hard to please. If I make my strange noise its like I beat her and I would never lay a hand on her! I really don't need most of your content but I find it fascinating. I like your techniques.
I have learned SO much from your videos. I have a very well trained Service Dog that I was awarded with last year after 2 years of Professional training. First thing I learned was that training never ends. Your recommendations in this video are exactly what I have been doing, I learned them on my own from necessity and am glad to get confirmation that this method works. It works!! I was also told that a "pinch" collar would have to be used for the life of my dog. I found, on my own, that a good head collar works much better and takes about 10-15 minutes on a couple of walks to totally transform my Angel into a totally under control animal. I rarely use the head collar now, almost never actually. Our life together is WAY better than the days after I had Winnie placed with me. She is my Golden Retriever Angel.
I wish I had this training back when I took care of clients’ dogs some 20 years ago. It would have saved me so much anxiety due to bad behavior (and owners!). I am absolutely thrilled to watch your videos and gain this knowledge finally as it will enable me to train our new (sometime soon) dog much better and give me better insight when other’s dogs act out. Thank you, too, for the wonderful way you explain things so easily for us.
It’s about follow thru….I learned all I know about my business because of Cesar. I have started watching you because I saw (you)get it. Obedience is easy, but doesn’t changed behavior on its own. You need correction, follow thru first then add obedience. I also use my dogs to help dogs. You also see how well that works. Thanks for what you do😃🐾
Love this. The other thing I see both you and CM do is the follow through. Applying “pressure” by getting closer into their space - that was one of my early break throughs with my stubborn pittie.
Short, simple and to the point. This videos make a world of difference in the lives of dog owners. This is the best dog trainer in TH-cam. If Joel started this channel 10 years ago he'd have over a million subscribers and probably be doing something with the discovery Channel.
This video is perfectly timed! I was filming my dog & a neighbor cat who was on the top of my fence the other day. All the sudden the cat jumps down & my dog chases it. I get on to her & have to tell her to lay down multiple times. Later, I watched the video & realized that, even though I sound loud & stern in my head, my correction voice is actually very similar to my regular voice. Most of the issues I’ve been struggling with make a lot more sense after I learned that.
Retriever dog trainers lift the loose flank skin (between the hip and stomach) to get the dog to release an object (holding in his mouth) the dog refuses to give up. Dogs are super sensitive in this area to touch. Glad you pointed it out Joel.
Ahh, being different to a dog. I had 3 or 4 contacts with a yappy, snappy ankle-biter of a friend several years ago. Taught it I was the sort that didn’t accept that. And she learned to like me. Months or years have passed between meetings and she STILL turns on a different persona every time she sees me.
Genius! I have used this technique for years in special education (Without touch) . Throw them off! and they reassess their behavior. Just a second will do it. Ceaser Milan makes that 'hiss' sound he said his Mom used to use with the kids. Thanks for the video, you reminded me of it. Love you work, the videos and your no nonsense approach. Generally you get what you expect so why not expect excellence.
I rescued a deaf dog that is now 9 months old and I’m glad you added the clap because most videos I watch are for hearing dogs. I will give this a shot. Thank you!
I use the "Hey" as well - no one has ever taught me that, it just came instinctively. Last Saturday I was on a walk with friends, and their dog kept barking all the time, it was just super annoying. They talked and talked, "Lucy, no", "Lucy, stop that", '"Aww, shut up", but Lucy kept barking until I got annoyed and just stated a simple but significant "Hey!". Lucy stopped barking and stayed quiet the whole walk. ;) I raised and educated my late dog with the same approach - lots of positive reinforcement, but also clear boundaries, my "Hey" and a unique touch when needed. He was a huge male (a Landseer), not neutered, and weighed about 45 pounds more than me. He was the best dog ever, never stole anything, you could literally leave a steak on the table and leave the house, and it would still be there when you came back. Great with other dogs, great with people and children, great on and off the leash. My best friend and soulmate. Lost him in June at the age of 11 and still miss him every day. Have a new puppy with me now, as I found a life without a dog not really worth living. She's a Keeshond - we'll see where that goes. 😆
I’m not a dog trainer but I do this to my 4 month old gsd puppy naturally. I’ve watched many of your videos and learned a lot. Thanks to you I know this is something I have to keep doing specially during age appropriateness (Behavioral Stages). I’m not aggressive at all towards my puppy. Everything is gentle and I don’t repeat commands or his name more than twice.
Hey I saw your reply on this video sorry to bother but I've got a 4 month GSD myself she's very stubborn and it's been inviting as a pain in the butt right now with her is wondering how your dog is doing now and if you have any tips or advice or anything I should know in advance
Hey, My puppy is now 8 months old. He is much better now. The best advice I can give you is be very patient. If you have the time try to play as much as you can with her. Another thing to try is train her when she is hungry. They listen the most since that treat is the best thing ever 😂. Hope this helps. I’m not a trainer so don’t want to give you bad advice.
Wow! I am going to try that with my toy poodle who is very overactive. Thank you Joel for all of the videos and wonderful information you give us. You have helped me be a much better dog owner and taught me how to train her to be a better dog. God bless you for all you do.
Actually this video is pure gold!!! Thanks so much! Now I don't have to watch any other video on TH-cam with dog training and just start to apply all the information you and mr Cesar give us so kindly!! Thank you
This video is gold! Everyone has seen Cesar do his trademark “Shhhch” but it was never explained exactly why that works. You’ve taken the mystery out of it. Works beautifully on my 3 yr old Rhodesian ridgeback now that I know how and when to apply it properly. Can’t thank you enough!
Thank you for helping us be better pet parents. I had training lessons years ago by a retired military dog handler. They work for the most part but not for my current boxer/pit mix. He is a very good boy but he could be a one dog sled team. He is MUCH better on walks and doors/gates now that I am using your methods. I will continue to watch your videos to learn & use more of your methods and share them with others. Thank you again and again!🐕
Learned over the years that bad behaviour is easy to counter by learning new wanted behaviour instead of correcting bad behaviour Way easier mentally for the owner and for the dog.
I can not wait to try this! My new rescue dog (December) is so much better behaved since I have followed your methods, but there are still a couple small behaviors that need tweeking. I believe this will do the trick. Thank you so very much! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Cesar started the unique sound and touch or mama bite. He doesn't do a lot of talking, " like omg what a good boy" or you're doing so good" with a high pitched tone. Love your videos too, thank you!!,
Your a legend! I watch lots of dog training videos and I came across someone known as "THE DOG DADDY" he teaches a similar approach. Obviously his overall approach is very different from you but I got introduced to it from him for the first time. Love watching your videos - hello from Australia.
We raised our now 13 year old Golden with CM’s methods and consistently have been complimented on her behavior. We now have an 8 mo. old (?) stray that hasn’t been claimed so apparently is ours to raise. It’s been a long time since raising a puppy and starting from housebreaking to sit and leash training so finding this channel is a happy occurrence. The front clip harness arrives today and I’m looking forward to walks without pulling, practicing ‘go and get’ and other skills as she grows after watching your videos.
The clap and ‘hey’ works great for my dog, especially when his play is too rough. “Uh,uh” works a treat as well. I never understood why Caesar used that noise, and didn’t associate it with the bump on the flank. Thanks for the explanation.
Boarder collies....one of the smartest Breeds.....I had one....learn fast but needs to work constantly. I used that touch in that area....such good advice.
Thank you for all you teach , and your expaining everything so well that its clear why its done . Love Ceasar,but your method has tought me more . I have 4 dogs and the Hey and touch I use all the time . I am one grateful student .Thank you 😊
I have used those touch points coupled with verbal pairing for a long time.I also have found that dogs have different learning style preferences .Sensory intelligence. Doggie sensory IQ. I used to assess this in at risk, behaviorally challenge youth years ago. My gsd responds to the flank touch more. I did not use the touch with kids, just to be clear but verbal, audible or visual
Yeah they're quite different between them. My old roommate's GSD responded best to flank touches, but Marley (picture) looked at me like "what are you doing, you don't want to do this" but then responded exceptionally to towering over her without any touch. And now Diesel responds best to the grab and sit down method.
I have opted for Cesar Milan dog psychology methods, never needed or nor would personally use tools such as an E collar or prong collars especially as the dog's I have taken on, initially came with fearful, behavioural issues. Training my dog's, I do both yours and Cesar methods, I trust these methods, it's a guarantee win each time with faster results. I also use treats through training (my dog's would just about do anything for a hotdog) and may give a ball as a reward after a good job. I enjoy training, I'm good but I want to be the best. Massive thank you for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom !
That is true a good owner who give respect to dog is a good leader If they treat their dog with respect the dog will behave too ..I hope you get me by that ...thank you ❤️
Absolutely correct !!! I say Hey or knock it off. Plus touch usually a foot tap to flank or to their face like you but I've used the actual neck too or corection.on leach
Wow! that is a good learn to think, and it works. I guessed you got or learned this the same with Orcas before, and it's different; it's like a touch of an animal trainer from someone trained in SeaWorld!
Love these simple, to-the-point videos. Talking video idea: would love to know if you have any stories from past clients that were too difficult to work with, where the dog wasn't the problem? Waiting on the response to zak's recent video where he misrepresented the whole concept of balanced training 😂
I say 'ohoh' and touch his side like you show in the video. Learned it from Cæsar Milan when I got my first rottweiler mix in 2006. 🐶🥰 Because I make terribly noices I rather 'clip my fingers' if I want his attention and it works every time. Did it with my last dog and it worked so now its a natural reaction from me. If its two dogs I clap my heands and say 'hey' out loud because their so focused on each other. I also have hand-signals for important commands like down, sit, stay ++ so my dog understands me without using my voice. Hope to be a dog trainer next year. 🐕🤩
Dogs, like horses, or any other domesticated animal, need to be broken. Imposing your will over theirs (without causing physical pain, of course) was the key to my dog becoming the good boy that he is after 2 years of consistency, kindness, care, and affection. He is 4.5 now, and an absolute joy to be around. I get compliments from anybody that interacts with him.
No. They do not need to be broken. They need to be taught. Broken means you break their spirit and will. That is not the basis for a good relationship with any animal.
@@gusmonster59 Not necessarily. I didn't break my dog's spirit. Just his will. Punishing them would break their spirit but I never punish my dog(s). I simply present consistent opposition against any of my dogs taking the alpha role of the pack.
@@IMCcanTWEESTED The whole concept of "alpha" dogs has actually been debunked. Unfortunately, Cesar Milan continues to perpetuate this false way of thinking about dog psychology in his training methods. There is plenty of scientific literature and more research coming out today about what we know now about dogs behave and proper ways to teach them how to do the right behaviours through evidence-based, non-coercive training. There is no need to "break" your dog OR your horse for that matter when there are such better ways to build a relationship with your animal.
Lol, relatable. I definitely wince when I see an owner repeating themselves endlessly while the dog completely ignores them and only stops on its own good time. 😅 I'm very much hoping to avoid ever ending up in that position myself.
Spot on. Feral cat rescue owner FM Pit bulls, retired, now a mini doxie puppy for me! I have never used the No word for any animal. I have a unique sound. It works! Love working dogs because Im retired & all my time is for play!🙏🏼❤️🌻🥰😚
I grew up watching Cesar and the simple tsst and touch worked like magic. Til this day I use in instinctually at dog parks and it works every time. I also used it, again, instinctually, on my two boys as they were growing up. It worked on them just as well. There’s a great blog post out there on how the techniques used by Super Nanny are actually techniques used in this video and demonstrated by Cesar.
a thumb under the jawbone is a ninjitsu pressure point, works the same as the dog jaw touch - no matter anyones size, they will move where your thumb takes them. used to use it to break up fights
I am a big Cesar fan, I learned a lot from his shows. I stumbled on your channel and noticed that you and Cesar had similar approaches but yet you have your own style and spin on execution. I am a big fan and I hope to take a lot away from your videos. I am on my fourth Golden (just 14 weeks old as of Oct 19, 2022), I got my first Golden when I was in high school, I don't want to say how long ago that was but it has been a while. People were always impressed on how well behaved my dogs were, although Goldens are not what anyone would call a difficult dog to train, I still want to do a better job. Thanks for sharing!
Unique sounds really go quite far. I recently got a Sheltie who was extremely timid at first and blowing raspberries for some reason just brightened up his day. He'd get scared of going on a leash walk for the first time but blowing raspberries would just excite him haha. So anytime he's nervous, I blow raspberries to tell him it's okay. Clapping is something I always use for bad behavior. Sharp, loud, gets instant attention. That with a good "leave it" and he quickly learned to not touch things I don't want him to. Very happy for this video, though! I'm hoping the unique touch will be good for things such as his jumping and barking behaviors he's started. As you mention, I need something new and unique. I've made the mistake of just yelling his name for him to come to me as well as when he's being bad. That doesn't work. He comes to his name so if I yell his name when he's bad like "Atty, no!" it just doesn't register for him. He comes over to me like I want something and even though that's good initially, it only serves as a distraction. Really, thank you so much for these videos. It's been a great help and I'm having a lot of success so far!
Another Cesar gem is No Touch, No Talk, No eye contact when the dog is in an excited state, like when you get home from work. It really works!
This is huge. I have a Saharan Otter Terrier with ADHD and a bit of Kangaroo in her, she's nuts 23 hours a day. No response to command puts her on ignore. As if by magic she chills and becomes part of the family again.

I have learned a ton from Cesar Milan. As the poster below me said. No touch, no talk, no eye contact. This works. I also have used my body to block my dog to keep him from leash pulling. I have an aussie and he loved to pull me around. Every time he pulled out in front of me, I would block him by standing in front of him and making him sit. It took a few times then he quit. I noticed also that when I did this training he started paying attention to me instead of looking all over the place. He looks up at me every few seconds to see if I require any other behaviors from him. I can take him off leash now on my property (8 acres) I do not permit him to be off leash anywhere else.
I had a German Wirehaired Pointer who everyone wanted because she was so well behaved. I endlessly explained she didn't come that way. You have to put in the work to have a well mannered dog. I do use 'down' for lay down, and 'off' to get off things or not jump up. I also teach 'wait'. This tells my dog to wait for the ok to go forward when we come to a gate, door, open the car car, etc.. It seems I have been using this method and never realized it. And only a few will understand this - I had Jack Russell Terrorist who earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate. Yeah - terriers CAN be well mannered. ;-) I love seeing these training videos the use sense for teaching dogs.
I have a BC/wire haired something mix that is super anxious but I do use wait for the car, door, etc. Lately, he has learned to look to me before I even say it, mostly due to the loose leash/pop technique from Beckmann
Hey I just wanted to say thank you for posting your videos and techniques. It has completely changed the way I view training my two blue nose pitties. The amount of progress they have seriously made in 2-3 weeks of your methods is monumental. Thank you for doing as good of a job training people to help their dogs as you do training dogs themselves
Ever agree with someone fully and feel that sense of joy well up inside because of being a kindred spirit? I have used Cesar’s ‘hand bite’ and ‘Psst’ for over 10 years. With my last Golden the touch was no longer needed. There were different timings and tones of the ‘Psst’ though, anything from ‘Focus’ to ‘’Heel in’ to ‘You know better than that, we’re not going THERE, are we?’ In the middle writing that last sentence I could tell my 4 m.o. Golden needed to go out. He decided it would be more interesting to tear around the room and hide. I used a loud ‘Psst’ to get him to stop and caught his eye. I had his leash in my hand by then and when he stopped he didn’t follow my command of ‘Sit’. And I just stared him down, using the energy/body language that told him this wasn’t a game. He sat, I saw that hyper energy leave him, I snapped on the lead and it was over.
Thanks so much for your videos. I have a battle going on with the wife right now, as she is setting up camp with the Purely Positive crowd. Your clips are my allies.
This video earned you a sub. I've only had 5 of my own dogs in my 66 years as I'm a one dog at a time kinda guy. My first dog at age 21 was a Cocker Spaniel that I trained to hunt pheasant. The next was a Lab to hunt waterfowl and I trained her to do blind retrieves. She was a great dog. The third, a Standard Poodle, was a little bit dog aggressive. I trained him with an ecollar, at the lowest setting he would respond to, as we live rural and rarely leash our dogs for walks. I needed a good strong recall for him. When he passed we got a Miniature Poodle and had him in Master's Class in Agility when he passed from cancer at age 8. Our neighbors got a Border Collie puppy and had her for 2 weeks before taking her to the Humane Society because they couldn't house break her or keep her from chewing up their house. We adopted her and she's going to be 2 this month. To this point she's the easiest dog I've ever trained. She tries so hard to please. If I make my strange noise its like I beat her and I would never lay a hand on her! I really don't need most of your content but I find it fascinating. I like your techniques.
Thank You so much for continuing passing your great training advise!
Unique sound, unique touch. It works.
I have learned SO much from your videos. I have a very well trained Service Dog that I was awarded with last year after 2 years of Professional training. First thing I learned was that training never ends. Your recommendations in this video are exactly what I have been doing, I learned them on my own from necessity and am glad to get confirmation that this method works. It works!! I was also told that a "pinch" collar would have to be used for the life of my dog. I found, on my own, that a good head collar works much better and takes about 10-15 minutes on a couple of walks to totally transform my Angel into a totally under control animal. I rarely use the head collar now, almost never actually. Our life together is WAY better than the days after I had Winnie placed with me. She is my Golden Retriever Angel.
I wish I had this training back when I took care of clients’ dogs some 20 years ago. It would have saved me so much anxiety due to bad behavior (and owners!).
I am absolutely thrilled to watch your videos and gain this knowledge finally as it will enable me to train our new (sometime soon) dog much better and give me better insight when other’s dogs act out.
Thank you, too, for the wonderful way you explain things so easily for us.
It’s about follow thru….I learned all I know about my business because of Cesar. I have started watching you because I saw (you)get it. Obedience is easy, but doesn’t changed behavior on its own. You need correction, follow thru first then add obedience. I also use my dogs to help dogs. You also see how well that works. Thanks for what you do😃🐾
Just your quick little tips make such a huge difference in my dog's behavior!!! This is awesome. Ty!!
Perfectly said. I watch Cesar a lot and he also touches the flank. Great advice.
Love this. The other thing I see both you and CM do is the follow through. Applying “pressure” by getting closer into their space - that was one of my early break throughs with my stubborn pittie.
Seems to be a small and easy trick but makes a huuuge difference when done correctly and at the right time.. Thanks for the tip.. ❤
Short, simple and to the point. This videos make a world of difference in the lives of dog owners. This is the best dog trainer in TH-cam. If Joel started this channel 10 years ago he'd have over a million subscribers and probably be doing something with the discovery Channel.
[Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos and sharing your knowledge. It's greatly appreciated.]
Perfect timing on this video. My 11 month Bully Pit needed this new technique. 😊
This video is perfectly timed! I was filming my dog & a neighbor cat who was on the top of my fence the other day. All the sudden the cat jumps down & my dog chases it. I get on to her & have to tell her to lay down multiple times. Later, I watched the video & realized that, even though I sound loud & stern in my head, my correction voice is actually very similar to my regular voice. Most of the issues I’ve been struggling with make a lot more sense after I learned that.
Love how you reinforce and reiterate our behavior as animal/pet owners. Great job. Thank you for always sharing your insight its very empowering.
This has been working when my dogs don’t want to do what I want, thank you.
Retriever dog trainers lift the loose flank skin (between the hip and stomach) to get the dog to release an object (holding in his mouth) the dog refuses to give up. Dogs are super sensitive in this area to touch. Glad you pointed it out Joel.
This is good advice. It is clear communication to the dog, and can be used consistently for whatever purpose.
Great advice just keeps coming ! Thank you Joel.
Brilliant insight and advice. It seems so obvious yet never thought to do it. Always appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Unique sounds and touch works! Dogs understand boundaries.
I have done the unique sound thing for years (even from 1/2 mile away!), and it works - thank you for calling attention to this method!
Great information and thank you for being concise.
Ahh, being different to a dog. I had 3 or 4 contacts with a yappy, snappy ankle-biter of a friend several years ago. Taught it I was the sort that didn’t accept that. And she learned to like me. Months or years have passed between meetings and she STILL turns on a different persona every time she sees me.
Genius! I have used this technique for years in special education (Without touch) . Throw them off! and they reassess their behavior. Just a second will do it. Ceaser Milan makes that 'hiss' sound he said his Mom used to use with the kids. Thanks for the video, you reminded me of it. Love you work, the videos and your no nonsense approach. Generally you get what you expect so why not expect excellence.
I rescued a deaf dog that is now 9 months old and I’m glad you added the clap because most videos I watch are for hearing dogs. I will give this a shot. Thank you!
Stomping on the ground also works because they can feel the vibration in their paws. ❤
Love it. This is really getting into it. Will take us regular owners a while to master but I think once we do we will be next level!
Thank you so much for this, I have a dog that goes crazy on leash when he sees certain dogs. Very helpful!
I use the "Hey" as well - no one has ever taught me that, it just came instinctively. Last Saturday I was on a walk with friends, and their dog kept barking all the time, it was just super annoying. They talked and talked, "Lucy, no", "Lucy, stop that", '"Aww, shut up", but Lucy kept barking until I got annoyed and just stated a simple but significant "Hey!". Lucy stopped barking and stayed quiet the whole walk. ;)
I raised and educated my late dog with the same approach - lots of positive reinforcement, but also clear boundaries, my "Hey" and a unique touch when needed. He was a huge male (a Landseer), not neutered, and weighed about 45 pounds more than me. He was the best dog ever, never stole anything, you could literally leave a steak on the table and leave the house, and it would still be there when you came back. Great with other dogs, great with people and children, great on and off the leash. My best friend and soulmate. Lost him in June at the age of 11 and still miss him every day.
Have a new puppy with me now, as I found a life without a dog not really worth living. She's a Keeshond - we'll see where that goes. 😆
I like how you pair the unique noise w the unique touch. Something more I can try. thank you as always, excellent, valuable content.
I saw a shorts on this touch on the flank a couples days ago. Very happy you brought it up and explained the bigger concept.
Great explanation. Thank you!
Love this, thank you for sharing 👍
I’m not a dog trainer but I do this to my 4 month old gsd puppy naturally. I’ve watched many of your videos and learned a lot. Thanks to you I know this is something I have to keep doing specially during age appropriateness (Behavioral Stages). I’m not aggressive at all towards my puppy. Everything is gentle and I don’t repeat commands or his name more than twice.
Hey I saw your reply on this video sorry to bother but I've got a 4 month GSD myself she's very stubborn and it's been inviting as a pain in the butt right now with her is wondering how your dog is doing now and if you have any tips or advice or anything I should know in advance
Hey, My puppy is now 8 months old. He is much better now. The best advice I can give you is be very patient. If you have the time try to play as much as you can with her. Another thing to try is train her when she is hungry. They listen the most since that treat is the best thing ever 😂. Hope this helps. I’m not a trainer so don’t want to give you bad advice.
Wow! I am going to try that with my toy poodle who is very overactive. Thank you Joel for all of the videos and wonderful information you give us. You have helped me be a much better dog owner and taught me how to train her to be a better dog. God bless you for all you do.
Wow, I thought you would have been a subscriber to Joel’s channel. It sure helps him, but I guess not.
Love Cesar Milan MY absolute Inspiration ❤
Love these tips ! My puppy reacts to this technique of the unusual noise, now just got to add the touch.
Actually this video is pure gold!!! Thanks so much! Now I don't have to watch any other video on TH-cam with dog training and just start to apply all the information you and mr Cesar give us so kindly!! Thank you
This video is gold! Everyone has seen Cesar do his trademark “Shhhch” but it was never explained exactly why that works. You’ve taken the mystery out of it. Works beautifully on my 3 yr old Rhodesian ridgeback now that I know how and when to apply it properly. Can’t thank you enough!
Thank you for helping us be better pet parents. I had training lessons years ago by a retired military dog handler. They work for the most part but not for my current boxer/pit mix. He is a very good boy but he could be a one dog sled team. He is MUCH better on walks and doors/gates now that I am using your methods. I will continue to watch your videos to learn & use more of your methods and share them with others. Thank you again and again!🐕
I have the same dog. My dog is a couch potato but also gets crazy zoomies!
Learned over the years that bad behaviour is easy to counter by learning new wanted behaviour instead of correcting bad behaviour
Way easier mentally for the owner and for the dog.
I can not wait to try this! My new rescue dog (December) is so much better behaved since I have followed your methods, but there are still a couple small behaviors that need tweeking. I believe this will do the trick. Thank you so very much! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
You've not subscribed! Wow, seriously? 🤷🏻♀️
Oh cool! I requested exactly this a while ago! Perfect! Thanks! 💖
I do this with my clients Dogs. You are spot on! 👌
Thanks for elucidating that commonality. It’s not the only way you two differ from the rest, but it is, indeed huge!
Joel, your channel ìs fantastic. I feel like I'm validated AND learning simultaneously.
LOVE x DISCIPLINE x RESPECT 🔁
Cesar started the unique sound and touch or mama bite. He doesn't do a lot of talking, " like omg what a good boy" or you're doing so good" with a high pitched tone. Love your videos too, thank you!!,
Your a legend! I watch lots of dog training videos and I came across someone known as "THE DOG DADDY" he teaches a similar approach. Obviously his overall approach is very different from you but I got introduced to it from him for the first time. Love watching your videos - hello from Australia.
Thank you very much for sharing! 😀
Your on fire Joel ! Keep
Going please!
Fixing problems ,wonderful. Thx !
Thank you beautiful border collies for demonstrating lovely manners🤗🐾💚
Hi! Do you have any tips for how to deal with reactive, fearful, alert border collies?
We raised our now 13 year old Golden with CM’s methods and consistently have been complimented on her behavior. We now have an 8 mo. old (?) stray that hasn’t been claimed so apparently is ours to raise. It’s been a long time since raising a puppy and starting from housebreaking to sit and leash training so finding this channel is a happy occurrence. The front clip harness arrives today and I’m looking forward to walks without pulling, practicing ‘go and get’ and other skills as she grows after watching your videos.
Wow 13 years is pretty good for a golden
The clap and ‘hey’ works great for my dog, especially when his play is too rough. “Uh,uh” works a treat as well. I never understood why Caesar used that noise, and didn’t associate it with the bump on the flank. Thanks for the explanation.
Boarder collies....one of the smartest Breeds.....I had one....learn fast but needs to work constantly. I used that touch in that area....such good advice.
Thank you for all you teach , and your expaining everything so well that its clear why its done . Love Ceasar,but your method has tought me more . I have 4 dogs and the Hey and touch I use all the time . I am one grateful student .Thank you 😊
Great video, I will be giving this a try with our Newfie pup.
I have used those touch points coupled with verbal pairing for a long time.I also have found that dogs have different learning style preferences .Sensory intelligence. Doggie sensory IQ. I used to assess this in at risk, behaviorally challenge youth years ago. My gsd responds to the flank touch more. I did not use the touch with kids, just to be clear but verbal, audible or visual
Yeah they're quite different between them. My old roommate's GSD responded best to flank touches, but Marley (picture) looked at me like "what are you doing, you don't want to do this" but then responded exceptionally to towering over her without any touch. And now Diesel responds best to the grab and sit down method.
this is the best advice ever .
I have opted for Cesar Milan dog psychology methods, never needed or nor would personally use tools such as an E collar or prong collars especially as the dog's I have taken on, initially came with fearful, behavioural issues. Training my dog's, I do both yours and Cesar methods, I trust these methods, it's a guarantee win each time with faster results. I also use treats through training (my dog's would just about do anything for a hotdog) and may give a ball as a reward after a good job. I enjoy training, I'm good but I want to be the best. Massive thank you for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom !
Thank you, I needed to know that information!
Thank you for your wisdom joel. Yet more awesome content
Interesting. More please!
Genius....cannot wait to try this
I love that you agree with some of what Cesar does. It definitely works and works FAST. Subscribed!
Love the tips
That is true a good owner who give respect to dog is a good leader
If they treat their dog with respect the dog will behave too ..I hope you get me by that ...thank you ❤️
Yup, I use different sounds for different behaviors, now I will use a unique touch. Thanks Joel!!!
Unique sound, unique touch, alright noted.
Yess ... Makes so much sense💯
Absolutely correct !!! I say Hey or knock it off. Plus touch usually a foot tap to flank or to their face like you but I've used the actual neck too or corection.on leach
I would've loved to hv seen everyone's face at that party when u did that!!! lol🐾❤️
Wow! that is a good learn to think, and it works. I guessed you got or learned this the same with Orcas before, and it's different; it's like a touch of an animal trainer from someone trained in SeaWorld!
Love these simple, to-the-point videos. Talking video idea: would love to know if you have any stories from past clients that were too difficult to work with, where the dog wasn't the problem? Waiting on the response to zak's recent video where he misrepresented the whole concept of balanced training 😂
I say 'ohoh' and touch his side like you show in the video. Learned it from Cæsar Milan when I got my first rottweiler mix in 2006. 🐶🥰
Because I make terribly noices I rather 'clip my fingers' if I want his attention and it works every time. Did it with my last dog and it worked so now its a natural reaction from me. If its two dogs I clap my heands and say 'hey' out loud because their so focused on each other. I also have hand-signals for important commands like down, sit, stay ++ so my dog understands me without using my voice. Hope to be a dog trainer next year. 🐕🤩
Dogs, like horses, or any other domesticated animal, need to be broken. Imposing your will over theirs (without causing physical pain, of course) was the key to my dog becoming the good boy that he is after 2 years of consistency, kindness, care, and affection. He is 4.5 now, and an absolute joy to be around. I get compliments from anybody that interacts with him.
what the fuck lol
No. They do not need to be broken. They need to be taught. Broken means you break their spirit and will. That is not the basis for a good relationship with any animal.
@@gusmonster59 Not necessarily. I didn't break my dog's spirit. Just his will. Punishing them would break their spirit but I never punish my dog(s). I simply present consistent opposition against any of my dogs taking the alpha role of the pack.
@@IMCcanTWEESTED The whole concept of "alpha" dogs has actually been debunked. Unfortunately, Cesar Milan continues to perpetuate this false way of thinking about dog psychology in his training methods. There is plenty of scientific literature and more research coming out today about what we know now about dogs behave and proper ways to teach them how to do the right behaviours through evidence-based, non-coercive training. There is no need to "break" your dog OR your horse for that matter when there are such better ways to build a relationship with your animal.
@@noelleursel7848 Debunked by who? I have owned 8 different dogs and establishing yourself as the protective lead is essential.
A lot of times when I hear people talking to their dogs, they sound like the mom on MADtv talking to Stewart… Lol endless rambling without boundaries.
Lol, relatable. I definitely wince when I see an owner repeating themselves endlessly while the dog completely ignores them and only stops on its own good time. 😅 I'm very much hoping to avoid ever ending up in that position myself.
Thank you for the video. What age should this sort of technique start or be avoided?
A Newfie/Poodle is a Noodle isn’t it! 😄 Thanks Joel for another awesome video.
A noodle or a pewfie 😂 🐾
Spot on. Feral cat rescue owner FM Pit bulls, retired, now a mini doxie puppy for me! I have never used the No word for any animal. I have a unique sound. It works! Love working dogs because Im retired & all my time is for play!🙏🏼❤️🌻🥰😚
But if a stranger must stop your dog they can't. All dogs should use the universal no.
I grew up watching Cesar and the simple tsst and touch worked like magic. Til this day I use in instinctually at dog parks and it works every time.
I also used it, again, instinctually, on my two boys as they were growing up. It worked on them just as well. There’s a great blog post out there on how the techniques used by Super Nanny are actually techniques used in this video and demonstrated by Cesar.
Love your videos!!!
a thumb under the jawbone is a ninjitsu pressure point, works the same as the dog jaw touch - no matter anyones size, they will move where your thumb takes them. used to use it to break up fights
Finally someone talk abaut "saund follow With the touch 👍
I am a big Cesar fan, I learned a lot from his shows. I stumbled on your channel and noticed that you and Cesar had similar approaches but yet you have your own style and spin on execution. I am a big fan and I hope to take a lot away from your videos. I am on my fourth Golden (just 14 weeks old as of Oct 19, 2022), I got my first Golden when I was in high school, I don't want to say how long ago that was but it has been a while. People were always impressed on how well behaved my dogs were, although Goldens are not what anyone would call a difficult dog to train, I still want to do a better job. Thanks for sharing!
Goldens are best!!! My 2nd one has been a handful though! 😂
What a great comment. Maybe subscribe to his channel?
This is GOLD!
Unique sounds really go quite far. I recently got a Sheltie who was extremely timid at first and blowing raspberries for some reason just brightened up his day. He'd get scared of going on a leash walk for the first time but blowing raspberries would just excite him haha. So anytime he's nervous, I blow raspberries to tell him it's okay. Clapping is something I always use for bad behavior. Sharp, loud, gets instant attention. That with a good "leave it" and he quickly learned to not touch things I don't want him to. Very happy for this video, though! I'm hoping the unique touch will be good for things such as his jumping and barking behaviors he's started. As you mention, I need something new and unique. I've made the mistake of just yelling his name for him to come to me as well as when he's being bad. That doesn't work. He comes to his name so if I yell his name when he's bad like "Atty, no!" it just doesn't register for him. He comes over to me like I want something and even though that's good initially, it only serves as a distraction. Really, thank you so much for these videos. It's been a great help and I'm having a lot of success so far!
Great points here
