Another good way to get hands on a lot of dogs is also volunteering in dogs shelters, you see so many dogs and cases, and you do something good for them too
Thank you for keeping the videos to the point and without click bait titles, over production or stupid staged graphics and thumbnails. This is a great channel thanks!
Love your videos. Game changing for my dogs. My 9 month old GSD used to bash on the backyard door locks crazy. With your method, he knows he won't get in if he touches it. Literally took us 4 weeks and it's changed our lives 😅 He used to run out the front door while on a leash, we didn't realise we were doing anything wrong. Now he walks out like a champ :) Thanks
THANK YOU 🙏 Mr. Beckman for putting in the time and effort to make these very (basic to you) but (necessary and helpful to us) videos of content we dog owners and trainers ALL need. You’re one of the GREAT trainers.👍😊 Julie in Texas
Thanks, Joel! The tips on how to move a dog is huge. I'm fostering dogs through a rescue and using everything in these videos. That's another great way to get experience with all kinds of dogs.
These videos are golden for the average Joe who wants their dog to behave better. To me, on TH-cam, there's only you, Stonnie Dennis and Robert Cabral.
The stiff-fingers to the upper neck reminds me of Cesar's "your hand is the mouth, your fingers the teeth" simulating mom-dog's corrective "bites" to her pups. Dog language. Isn't this the second video in one day? Great work.
Right off the bat you already remind me of Cesar Millan and I love it. In my head when you were talking, I imagined Cesar saying door open simply means door open. It doesn't mean rush out the door. 🙂
Refreshing way to teach stuff, cute dogs, sometimes a little drama in the comment section (yeah I read them all too 😂😂); why should anyone want to unsubscribe from your channel... Thanx for everything you share with us Joel!!
Thank you for this video cause people say I'm very good with dogs am 48 have had pits since I was 17 u just gave me the spark to go do it so much appreciated
This. This has been the video i've been waiting for. I've been looking to becoming a trainer after I get out of the army later this year. I've always wanted to handle dogs professionally as I wanted to be part of the K9 unit (didn't get it as it's a very sought after position). I've been pretty much nonstop watching your videos and reading as much as I can about getting into it. When I get out, my sister is going to have me train her dogs as well as I have to train my dog that my dad has been watching to get her the discipline she's lost. Because I employ the same sorta training style you do, I've been hesitant at going to dog training schools and them telling me that positive reinforcement is the only way (I know when and when not to use it). These instructions you gave have given me more confidence in that going to those schools isn't the only option and I whole heartedly appreciate it. Keep up the great work as always Joel!
I threw away around $10,000 on two different dog training schools. I wasted a bunch of time too. There are some balanced schools but I'd suggest working with dogs for a year before paying for a school. If I could go back I wouldn't have gone to any of them and would have just talked to real people who have really results.
Thank you for your service. Check out Steve White in Seattle for K9 officer training and instructing. Susan Garrett has world class Agility dogs. Leerburg just caught a few of their videos. I fwd Joel's videos all the time to my students from our local dog club. Nigel Reed, Fenrir, Nate Schoemer, ask to be an apprentice somewhere where you agree with their training methods. The dogs will tell you what works and what doesn't.
Nearly have the dog hours and numbers of dogs as I have been in day care and boarding for 4.5 years, and volunteer in a rescue shelter. It's just a confidence (in my training skills) issue for me now. Thanks for the tips and all your content, loving it.
Agreed! You and Larry always keep it real. Thanks for being such an honest person. I am a new part-time dog trainer. I like your philosophy and always learn something new when I watch your videos.
@@fleedum yes, I raised my own pack of 3 dogs as well as volunteered for the shelter. Lots of experience just watching and learning dog behavior and training tactics
This was rather encouraging Joel! What you just described is exactly what I did when I started training and working with dogs and glad I did because I learned such a great deal in that experience. Keep up the good work and God bless!
For additional hours you can join a dog club and act as an assistant trainer for classes. I've found it eye opening to see people's relationship with their dogs
Yesssssss!!! Thank you Joel 😊💓☺ This was excellent! I made it thru dog sitting, & had a few neighbors ask about dog walking! I get it, it just takes getting out there & others seeing how your dog behaves to get to that bridge of 'I wish our dog was like that' - oh by the way, I do a free consult. Or dog walking/training..... whatever your model is. Thx again Joel, so so glad I subscribed 😀
I raise standard poodles for our own service dogs and groom professionally from home and by proxy have been training and doing board and trains just by integrating clients dogs into our pack of dogs. I should say my dogs help train other dogs and I lead the posse. This video is a push in the right direction for me, I’ve put in years for free and can’t wait to advance from some of your advice here!
Thanks for all the vids. I'm in the process of converting my 6 acres to a commercial dog kennel. I'll reach out from time to time for advice. I have a three year old Doby that I want to be visible at the kennel. I need to be proactive in making sure he doesn't become jealous or defensive with the clients dogs. He submits to me but is always dominant to other dogs. I see an opportunity to use his disposition to our advantage.
I always wanted to be a dogtrainer (im not btw). I absolutely agree with you. I have a reactive lab. He had 1 friend he loved that i watched and trained. Now im often taking care of a second one of my friends, a rescue. my dog really wanted to kill at first. It was CRAZY. These three are best friends now. He is even submissive towards the second dog. Going on walks with all three of them works better than walking him alone. They have double of my weigh all together and we are perfectly fine. Its awesome. Alot of dogs will get you the expierence. There is no other way. I even had 3 cats as well my lab was reactive to at first. They became inseparable.
Thank you so much for this video ! In several respects! 1) explaining and demonstrating gate management -one of the more challenging aspects of working a doggy daycare in my opinion. With 50 dogs to control at the gait, I’ll certainly consider every suggestion because I want to get very smooth at it . Thus far I have found that keeping it as simple as possible works best. Like, instead of trying to create this perfect circle of calm and distanced dogs I just sort of claim the part of the gate door that opens, body block esp with my legs. Interesting, I found that having more than one person managing right at the gate makes it worse. Bc then you have to dance with the other persons dance which can make it hard to just get a dog to come in and/or out. : 2) How to become a dog trainer. You know, life can be crazy sometimes. My plan was to just be a writer and professor of creative writing but I actually left grad school bc I came to prefer dogs. So I signed up for dog training school and got a job at doggy daycare, like you suggest. I also read every book I can and scour the internet for videos- from you to Victoria Stilwell. (I’m frustrated with Victoria bc while I respect very much her approach of being as positive as possible, just like to mentioned in your GOAT video, it’s hard to find any video of her actually HANDLING an aggressive dog the way you and Cesar. As someone who actually have to break up as many as three major dog fights a day in a room of 50 hyper dogs ....Victoria’s methods just don’t appear to apply. Is it me or does there seem to be 2 concepts of training -- A) conventional training like sit and stay and all of that and B) handling the dog OUTSIDE the training context without the means of food or toys! That said, I’d like to see a purely Positive trainer show how to HANDLE with nothing but a leash and their own body and resource limited environment. So I guess I have to admit that this video makes me feel good about the steps that I am taking so that I can one day be great like Cesar and you since I am doing very much of what you say. (I admit I don’t always do calming ovals!) so... seriously; thank you. I deeply appreciate your mentorship!
I live in pakistan and i watch your channel and fix leash reactions of dogs all over my city Huge Respect for you sir , May Allah Bless You♥️ i have a question too !! My 5 month doberman is a bit too submissive, help me fix it .
I have to agree that just seeing pictures and just reading a description about a training place is not going to get me to pay a hundred dollars for you to train my dog. Granted I like learning about animals and how to train them and applying what I learn, but seeing Joel Beckman's content makes me really consider to get a consultation from him even though his prices are much more than anyone in my area. Why have I considered this? Because I have seen him show and explain his techniques and seen the dogs improve in reasonable time. Why haven't I? Simply not in the budget range for now, but he has encouraged me and reminded me how to work with dogs. If I had the budget I would not hesitate to call him instead of anyone local. Why? Because I am unable to see the local trainers training methods and how it works for them but Beckman's training I have seen how it works. I believe Beckman helps everyone with their dog even us who are just able to watch the videos and take note. Thanks!
Join the local dog club even if you don't have a dog yet. Classes are usually at a reduced cost once you're a member. Our club, you have to get a performance title on a dog, assist with a class - 6 week course, then teach with an assistant/club member/instructor. Some clubs actually have training courses to become instructors to be sure that the information is consistent. Keep a journal of what works. Also, become a volunteer for a shelter, foster, take that dog to the classes. Get most of the issues resolved so that dog can get a forever home rather than be euthanized. If you're new though to owning a dog, start just volunteering. Quiet dog program in shelters. We have treat cups outside each run. Reward the quiet dogs, ask for sits and/or go to your bed while you throw the treat on the bed. Soon the whole kennel is quiet because only the quiet dogs are rewarded. The other dogs are watching and listening to see how they can get treats.
If u wanna get good at reading dog's and don't have a dog, try watching videos first with no sound just watching the dogs then watch it again with sound and see if u get the same read as the dog tuber does. Also try to remember not to let your dogs lick their own "purely positive trainers" too much or they might get rashes....keep it up Beckman. "We can do this all day" ..😎👍
I am dealing with some pretty significant 50% separation 50% isolation anxiety in a 11 month old standard poodle who we got at 9 months. He is getting better in the kennel alone in a seperate room from us with us at home. He will settle and wait quietly (that's a huge accomplishment) but when we leave he just screams and crys and howls and refuses to touch his kong/costco bullstick. Today we are letting him reallllllly enjoy his kong out side of his crate so he know KNOWS what's in there hoping he will remember the next time. He is VERY interested in kong right now. We just have to leave him home alone every once in a while and not reallly sure what the next step is. He goes to the dog park 3 to 5 x a week, does dock diving lessons 2 x a week, swims in our pool and plays fetch 2 to 4 x a week and daily walks. Feeding him higher quality food. We have 2 other poodles one who free roams the house and 1 other that is crated when we leave. So he isnt ever reallllly alone when we leave. I will take ANY suggestions you have. I just dont know how to help him. Oh yah we also play music when we leave... please help Joel!
You and I have a lot in common. Just wanted to say I appreciate the videos and have learned a bit, too! Keep up the great work, man. I also use any door or gate like a crate door, too. No dashing out of anything. 👏
I love how you touch on these aspects of dog training that others generally do no talk about or you have to go out of your way to find information on. Keep up the good work Joel :). Unrelated but are you able to touch on dogs that just love to sniff when walking
A month ago i have started a (volunteering) job in doggy day care where we have more than 50-60 dogs of all breeds in one place, i have learned a lot how to handle dogs (off-leash). Great place to start.
Amen to the having kids to know how to raise kids. I was a teacher, who has kids, and the difference between what I allowed in my class vs. what childless teachers let their students get away with was night and day.
I started dog training 2 years ago and still learning with every dog. Got a 3 year old French bulldog this morning that wants to kill. Like you said free consultation this morning and 4 days to think on a way forward on first training session
Owners need to show their dogs that just because the door's open, doesn't mean you go through. On how to be a dog trainer. What you said is pretty much what I did.
i love u joel, thanks for being so inspiring and for explaining your method so good, Im already working dogs i meet in the street for free, but straight after seeing this videos i emailed doggy day cares and training places asking for some kind of job in order to learn. love from spain
Thank you, Joel! As someone who wants to be a dog trainer (especially one as good as you), I wish I could get around my friends'/family's dogs more. But I'm at least doing #2 with my pup. Gotta start somewhere. The land shark struggle is real!
Now I love this idea but my only problem is fear. I’m gonna be straight out honest. So all I do now is train my relatives doggos. Even gonna fly out to help train!!!! Excited and gonna get them to record me doing this then I’ll upload on the page. Hope I make you proud Joel😣. Well see 😬🥶😨😱
@@User7688.--_ yes I do. And thanks I hope this does get me somewhere. :) would be great to do what I love as a job but if not if I can only help a clueless owner I’m happy with that too.
Going to a friend's place tomorrow to help with their lovely dog's pulling on the leash. I'm going to start from inside first, and work on how he first leaves the door. I think he bolts out. I'm looking forward to see how it goes.
When you were going to people's homes (even once charging) and they consistently asked for help, but never followed through on their own, did you continue to go, knowing they would never do what you told them when you left? I think this may be why I didn't get into working directly with people & stuck with rehabilitating/rehoming them & then making a living in the veterinary field...
trying to become one now. Wish I would have documented my experience long ago. been doing it for about five years for my own and dogs/litters of friends and family. Never been big on media but now is time to start because all i have as proof is my actual ability
Awesome, thanks a bunch, Joel. Question: what video was it of yours that you listed the 5(?) most common issues people come to you about with their dog? I just remember potting training and jumping on people.
Hi my name is Natasha Found your Chanel recently and I really respect and like your work. Do you recommend, and have any suggestions on how to train a dog to be guard dog, protective of the house? Thank you
This is a great video. This has gave me some advice that I have not seen on TH-cam. I personally am interested in becoming a dog trainer. I am currently living with my uncle and he has 10 dog’s of his own. With the exception of 3 which are the parents being 8 years old and another being a pit mix who is also 8. The rest of the pack being 6 years of age all coming from the same litter. They are red gene huskies with the possibility of malamute genetics given their size. No they are not trained. Since I’m living here I got the motivation to try and train them. I have recently adopted my own Husky which is about 9 months old and is a traditional Siberian Husky. I guess you could say I’m starting my journey on level hard. I would appreciate watching more content of you “group training” and if possible recommendations on how to train malamute/ Husky breeds because I’m aware that they are not an easy breed to handle. I have contacted you through email in the pat and the email response I got back was to pay for a video lesson. I don’t have a job at the moment so the price was out of my budget. Whatever type of information that I can get from these videos will help and I will be subscribed. For this video I say thank you. Have a good day
I have 17 dogs 3 are under 5 month so they're still learning but the rest are 10 months up to 5 years old. The 14 of the older ones know to sit and wait at thresholds until they're released but for them it's like they're at the race track. As soon as I released them, even if it's one by one they bolt out as fast as possible! So I'm guessing to fix this I should leash them one at a time and correct them for racing out when I release them and have them start over until they walk out? 🤔
Question for you, Joel: Backstory; My 11 month old Male Malinois - not neutered, tends to chase/charge at other dogs when we go to an open (fenced in) field to play and train in (not a dog park). When dogs get close to us or start running towards him - these dogs are off leash and I have my guy on a 60ft long leash - he thrashes his ball around and growls when they come close. I have found since raising him that it's just how he plays... he does it all the time; by himself, with me and with others in the household. He plays ROUGH. He's played with some dogs who don't care and actually encourage him to play hard with them but as we know all dogs are not that rough when it comes to play. QUESTION: How do I combat such a thing - less rough play, less growling and trashing when dogs try to approach? P.S. I've done the doggy daycare for months of his life - and the socialization of other dogs - I've done the whole nine but when it comes to play time he gets carried away.
Hi Joel, thanks a lot for your videos. I have a question about your 4 rules to manage a dog that gets aggressive. I understand why it's necessary to get LLW, 100% recall and to not have them jump on you when you get home. But could you speak to why it's also necessary for them to not sleep on the bed with you? Thanks!
Must be because of the pack mentality, meaning that the alpha dog (and wolves etc) chooses the best sleeping place, the bed being the most comfy place and generally also not on the floor but a bit elevated, it underlines the alpha position I think. You’re the boss, the pack leader, the alpha. If anything, the dog only sleep with you with your permission. It’s not a right but a privilege for the dog and he should be perfectly aware of it.
Checked a couple things off your list. Now it's time to work at a doggy daycare of some sort, although, not all daycare attendants know what they're doing hah. Also I wonder if the business would say something if we tried to correct the dog on leash 🤔...
I really like your channel and been watching a lot of your videos recently… I noticed you and Cesar Milan get reference in a lot of videos. Cesar is fantastic… you seem pretty awesome to from what I seen, but I don’t see you a cesar as similar… other then letting the dog know you guys mean business. Establisment of dominance… but I think any sort of trainer should have some of that approach anyways.. And you both use dogs to train dogs.. but you guys do it very differently. I’m not a dog trainer, nor am I going to pretend to be an expert, I have owned and trained dogs since the age of 12 .. cockers when I was younger, bully breeds in my 20s, and now I have a 3 month old Australian cattle dog pup. but I do want to eventually become a professional dog behaviorist. I think I’m going to want to retire my current profession (automotive service Advisor) in so many years… this was something I wanted to transition to. So my question is what do you do before doing the multiple reps with different scenarios and dogs, do ppl do some sort of certification program ? What are the details of learning what you need before handling dogs..? I know this doesn’t really apply to you because you were training other animals prior to dogs , but for someone like me, there should be some sort of education and certification program is what I’m assuming.
"They eventually become awesome" because they learn to communicate with the dogs after a while. Like being dropped into a foreign country for a year. You'd eventually learn to communicate...
Thank you for putting this content out. No, I dont want to be a dog "trainer", yes I do want to train my 9 month old out of control Great Pyrenees manners.
Please consider raising puppies for Service Dogs Organizations in your local communities or even fostering!!!🤗 You can make our world a better place🐕🦺🦮🐕🦺
Hi Joel, I have started private dog training this year. I have been studying dogs (psychology) since I was seven (now 28). Had 5 clients and some succesfully finished and others did not want to continue (due to money or denial). I was on the right track with these dogs, but feel helpless when the people quit. They just won't aknowledge their dog is problematic and I take it as a personal rejection. What if these people get chatty and tell people I did not help at all? (While they fully ignored all my tips and tricks).
Which age is best to pick up your new puppy...8 weeks or 12 weeks. Is there a big difference between the ages in their behavior or training ability for potting training etc. ? Hope you can answer. It is a big debate in my mind. Thanks.
Could you do a video on getting a muzzle on a dog that has had one on before and tries to bite when getting it on?I trying to get a muzzle on a family members dog so I can cut it's nails.
That's a tough one because kids tend to encourage negative behaviors in puppies like jumping. And kids get so excited and silly that the puppy feeds off that and starts getting out of hand. If it was me, I'd exercise the puppy first and then have the kids ignore the puppy until the puppy was calm. Then let them pet the puppy but if the puppy gets excited I'd have them ignore the puppy again. Soon puppy will learn that when he's calm he gets attention. At least from my experience
@@andihd8768 Well thank you! We are all pretty fortunate to have a great community, such as this! Definitely one of my favorite, favorite channels and there’s so many awesome people here😁👋🏼
@@KingsMom831 my pleasure! Bang on the nose assessment there! So many wonderful folks & comments, I especially appreciate the dog training updates too from others. It helps solidify in my mind this is quality training. Yep, favorite channel here for me too! Here's to another lovely day & an even better tomorrow! 🐾🐕
@@andihd8768 or “ boop” on the nose😆 You seem like the kind of person I’d love walking dogs with & just appreciating the finer things in life (for me that’s things like nature, my relationship with good friends and family and most of all connection with animals). Have a great weekend!
"It's an open door, they chose to stay." Yes, but WHY did they make that choice? Because they respect the fact that you are in charge and everything happens on fair terms.
Also because of the body blocking and they kinda know they're going to get touched if they try anything. In a similar manner I trained my dogs to stay behind me on command, off leash even where they can easily get around me. I started training it on narrow paths. Where they couldn't pass me without risking getting touched on the head.
I feel like a thief learning all your little tricks from your long experience with dogs. I’ve had two dogs and although things don’t always go as planned, I tend to always “fix” or alter a behavior that is unwanted as long as I focus on one behavior at a time. (My newest pup is about to be 5mo. Still bitting everything 🤦🏽♂️)
Another good way to get hands on a lot of dogs is also volunteering in dogs shelters, you see so many dogs and cases, and you do something good for them too

As someone who actually have to break up as many as three major dog fights a day in a room of 50 hyper dogs ....Victoria’s methods just don’t appear to apply. Is it me or does there seem to be 2 concepts of training -- A) conventional training like sit and stay and all of that and B) handling the dog OUTSIDE the training context without the means of food or toys! That said, I’d like to see a purely Positive trainer show how to HANDLE with nothing but a leash and their own body and resource limited environment. So I guess I have to admit that this video makes me feel good about the steps that I am taking so that I can one day be great like Cesar and you since I am doing very much of what you say. (I admit I don’t always do calming ovals!) so... seriously; thank you. I deeply appreciate your mentorship!
I live in pakistan and i watch your channel and fix leash reactions of dogs all over my city
Huge Respect for you sir , May Allah Bless You♥️ i have a question too !! My 5 month doberman is a bit too submissive, help me fix it .
I have to agree that just seeing pictures and just reading a description about a training place is not going to get me to pay a hundred dollars for you to train my dog. Granted I like learning about animals and how to train them and applying what I learn, but seeing Joel Beckman's content makes me really consider to get a consultation from him even though his prices are much more than anyone in my area. Why have I considered this? Because I have seen him show and explain his techniques and seen the dogs improve in reasonable time. Why haven't I? Simply not in the budget range for now, but he has encouraged me and reminded me how to work with dogs. If I had the budget I would not hesitate to call him instead of anyone local. Why? Because I am unable to see the local trainers training methods and how it works for them but Beckman's training I have seen how it works. I believe
Beckman helps everyone with their dog even us who are just able to watch the videos and take note. Thanks!
Join the local dog club even if you don't have a dog yet. Classes are usually at a reduced cost once you're a member. Our club, you have to get a performance title on a dog, assist with a class - 6 week course, then teach with an assistant/club member/instructor. Some clubs actually have training courses to become instructors to be sure that the information is consistent. Keep a journal of what works. Also, become a volunteer for a shelter, foster, take that dog to the classes. Get most of the issues resolved so that dog can get a forever home rather than be euthanized. If you're new though to owning a dog, start just volunteering. Quiet dog program in shelters. We have treat cups outside each run. Reward the quiet dogs, ask for sits and/or go to your bed while you throw the treat on the bed. Soon the whole kennel is quiet because only the quiet dogs are rewarded. The other dogs are watching and listening to see how they can get treats.
If u wanna get good at reading dog's and don't have a dog, try watching videos first with no sound just watching the dogs then watch it again with sound and see if u get the same read as the dog tuber does. Also try to remember not to let your dogs lick their own "purely positive trainers" too much or they might get rashes....keep it up Beckman.
"We can do this all day" ..😎👍
I am dealing with some pretty significant 50% separation 50% isolation anxiety in a 11 month old standard poodle who we got at 9 months.
He is getting better in the kennel alone in a seperate room from us with us at home. He will settle and wait quietly (that's a huge accomplishment) but when we leave he just screams and crys and howls and refuses to touch his kong/costco bullstick.
Today we are letting him reallllllly enjoy his kong out side of his crate so he know KNOWS what's in there hoping he will remember the next time. He is VERY interested in kong right now.
We just have to leave him home alone every once in a while and not reallly sure what the next step is.
He goes to the dog park 3 to 5 x a week, does dock diving lessons 2 x a week, swims in our pool and plays fetch 2 to 4 x a week and daily walks.
Feeding him higher quality food. We have 2 other poodles one who free roams the house and 1 other that is crated when we leave. So he isnt ever reallllly alone when we leave.
I will take ANY suggestions you have. I just dont know how to help him.
Oh yah we also play music when we leave... please help Joel!
Can you, or did you already, make a video explaining to us about how you trained your two amazing "Helper" dogs??
🤩🤩
Yes he did, it's a great video. I think it's called How to train a helper dog. lol
Thank you for the vids! Just subscribed and learning a lot.
You and I have a lot in common. Just wanted to say I appreciate the videos and have learned a bit, too! Keep up the great work, man. I also use any door or gate like a crate door, too. No dashing out of anything. 👏
I love how you touch on these aspects of dog training that others generally do no talk about or you have to go out of your way to find information on. Keep up the good work Joel :).
Unrelated but are you able to touch on dogs that just love to sniff when walking
A month ago i have started a (volunteering) job in doggy day care where we have more than 50-60 dogs of all breeds in one place, i have learned a lot how to handle dogs (off-leash). Great place to start.
I need to do this lol
Amen to the having kids to know how to raise kids. I was a teacher, who has kids, and the difference between what I allowed in my class vs. what childless teachers let their students get away with was night and day.
I started dog training 2 years ago and still learning with every dog. Got a 3 year old French bulldog this morning that wants to kill. Like you said free consultation this morning and 4 days to think on a way forward on first training session
Owners need to show their dogs that just because the door's open, doesn't mean you go through. On how to be a dog trainer. What you said is pretty much what I did.
I wish I became a dog trainer when I was younger.
i love u joel, thanks for being so inspiring and for explaining your method so good, Im already working dogs i meet in the street for free, but straight after seeing this videos i emailed doggy day cares and training places asking for some kind of job in order to learn.
love from spain
Prince doesn't know by now? I'm flabbergasted!
Thank you for another great video
Who would have thought this of Prince of all dogs!?
Great to know I’m checking off most of the list you made. Thanks for the video!
Thank you, Joel! As someone who wants to be a dog trainer (especially one as good as you), I wish I could get around my friends'/family's dogs more. But I'm at least doing #2 with my pup. Gotta start somewhere. The land shark struggle is real!
I don't know...
Training sounds rewarding, but I think I'll continue to do #2 in private! Probably even #1.
Love your work!!
This was great, I am starting a training business, this was helpful.
Now I love this idea but my only problem is fear. I’m gonna be straight out honest. So all I do now is train my relatives doggos. Even gonna fly out to help train!!!! Excited and gonna get them to record me doing this then I’ll upload on the page. Hope I make you proud Joel😣. Well see 😬🥶😨😱
You seem to love dogs, and you’ve gotten the taste of training what you love = you are on your way. 👍
@@User7688.--_ yes I do. And thanks I hope this does get me somewhere. :) would be great to do what I love as a job but if not if I can only help a clueless owner I’m happy with that too.
What a wonderful video 👍 what breed is Colyton ? 😁
Going to a friend's place tomorrow to help with their lovely dog's pulling on the leash. I'm going to start from inside first, and work on how he first leaves the door. I think he bolts out. I'm looking forward to see how it goes.
❤❤ thank you so much now I can go to work at the dog training
Love your videos!
When you were going to people's homes (even once charging) and they consistently asked for help, but never followed through on their own, did you continue to go, knowing they would never do what you told them when you left?
I think this may be why I didn't get into working directly with people & stuck with rehabilitating/rehoming them & then making a living in the veterinary field...
10,000 hours at 40 hours a week is just under 5 years
trying to become one now. Wish I would have documented my experience long ago. been doing it for about five years for my own and dogs/litters of friends and family. Never been big on media but now is time to start because all i have as proof is my actual ability
Awesome, thanks a bunch, Joel.
Question: what video was it of yours that you listed the 5(?) most common issues people come to you about with their dog? I just remember potting training and jumping on people.
Hi my name is Natasha
Found your Chanel recently and I really respect and like your work.
Do you recommend, and have any suggestions on how to train a dog to be guard dog, protective of the house?
Thank you
don´t know what to write. you got a big fan in Austria :D i really like your videos and i borrow some of you stuff. Thank you
This is a great video. This has gave me some advice that I have not seen on TH-cam. I personally am interested in becoming a dog trainer.
I am currently living with my uncle and he has 10 dog’s of his own. With the exception of 3 which are the parents being 8 years old and another being a pit mix who is also 8. The rest of the pack being 6 years of age all coming from the same litter. They are red gene huskies with the possibility of malamute genetics given their size. No they are not trained.
Since I’m living here I got the motivation to try and train them. I have recently adopted my own Husky which is about 9 months old and is a traditional Siberian Husky. I guess you could say I’m starting my journey on level hard.
I would appreciate watching more content of you “group training” and if possible recommendations on how to train malamute/ Husky breeds because I’m aware that they are not an easy breed to handle.
I have contacted you through email in the pat and the email response I got back was to pay for a video lesson. I don’t have a job at the moment so the price was out of my budget.
Whatever type of information that I can get from these videos will help and I will be subscribed.
For this video I say thank you. Have a good day
I have 17 dogs 3 are under 5 month so they're still learning but the rest are 10 months up to 5 years old. The 14 of the older ones know to sit and wait at thresholds until they're released but for them it's like they're at the race track. As soon as I released them, even if it's one by one they bolt out as fast as possible!
So I'm guessing to fix this I should leash them one at a time and correct them for racing out when I release them and have them start over until they walk out? 🤔
Great
Thanks again sir
Question for you, Joel: Backstory; My 11 month old Male Malinois - not neutered, tends to chase/charge at other dogs when we go to an open (fenced in) field to play and train in (not a dog park). When dogs get close to us or start running towards him - these dogs are off leash and I have my guy on a 60ft long leash - he thrashes his ball around and growls when they come close. I have found since raising him that it's just how he plays... he does it all the time; by himself, with me and with others in the household. He plays ROUGH. He's played with some dogs who don't care and actually encourage him to play hard with them but as we know all dogs are not that rough when it comes to play. QUESTION: How do I combat such a thing - less rough play, less growling and trashing when dogs try to approach?
P.S. I've done the doggy daycare for months of his life - and the socialization of other dogs - I've done the whole nine but when it comes to play time he gets carried away.
I’m training my Akita off your method she gonna turn out great 🙏🏽
Great video, as usual !! Btw, does the big gray dog (Connery I think) have a breed ?
Hi Joel, thanks a lot for your videos. I have a question about your 4 rules to manage a dog that gets aggressive. I understand why it's necessary to get LLW, 100% recall and to not have them jump on you when you get home. But could you speak to why it's also necessary for them to not sleep on the bed with you? Thanks!
Must be because of the pack mentality, meaning that the alpha dog (and wolves etc) chooses the best sleeping place, the bed being the most comfy place and generally also not on the floor but a bit elevated, it underlines the alpha position I think. You’re the boss, the pack leader, the alpha. If anything, the dog only sleep with you with your permission. It’s not a right but a privilege for the dog and he should be perfectly aware of it.
Great video😁❤️
Hey Joel
Which books do you recommend ?
Thank you for your video's ^^
Checked a couple things off your list. Now it's time to work at a doggy daycare of some sort, although, not all daycare attendants know what they're doing hah. Also I wonder if the business would say something if we tried to correct the dog on leash 🤔...
They’re a bunch of creepers these dudes 🤣
Thank you!
10,000 hours = 5 years @ 40 hrs per wk….
I really like your channel and been watching a lot of your videos recently…
I noticed you and Cesar Milan get reference in a lot of videos. Cesar is fantastic… you seem pretty awesome to from what I seen, but I don’t see you a cesar as similar… other then letting the dog know you guys mean business. Establisment of dominance… but I think any sort of trainer should have some of that approach anyways.. And you both use dogs to train dogs.. but you guys do it very differently.
I’m not a dog trainer, nor am I going to pretend to be an expert, I have owned and trained dogs since the age of 12 .. cockers when I was younger, bully breeds in my 20s, and now I have a 3 month old Australian cattle dog pup. but I do want to eventually become a professional dog behaviorist. I think I’m going to want to retire my current profession (automotive service Advisor) in so many years… this was something I wanted to transition to.
So my question is what do you do before doing the multiple reps with different scenarios and dogs, do ppl do some sort of certification program ? What are the details of learning what you need before handling dogs..?
I know this doesn’t really apply to you because you were training other animals prior to dogs , but for someone like me, there should be some sort of education and certification program is what I’m assuming.
"They eventually become awesome" because they learn to communicate with the dogs after a while. Like being dropped into a foreign country for a year. You'd eventually learn to communicate...
Hi, loving your videos! Is it okay for my dog to sleep on my bed with me? I think you said something in one of your videos that you shouldn’t.
I watch all your videos so that my dogs can be better dogs and now they are better
Please do separation anxiety videos
Thank you for putting this content out. No, I dont want to be a dog "trainer", yes I do want to train my 9 month old out of control Great Pyrenees manners.
Please consider raising puppies for Service Dogs Organizations in your local communities or even fostering!!!🤗
You can make our world a better place🐕🦺🦮🐕🦺
Hi Joel, I have started private dog training this year. I have been studying dogs (psychology) since I was seven (now 28). Had 5 clients and some succesfully finished and others did not want to continue (due to money or denial). I was on the right track with these dogs, but feel helpless when the people quit. They just won't aknowledge their dog is problematic and I take it as a personal rejection. What if these people get chatty and tell people I did not help at all? (While they fully ignored all my tips and tricks).
Who the hell would unsubscribe? 🐶
You! ☝️ Me! 👇
Which age is best to pick up your new puppy...8 weeks or 12 weeks. Is there a big difference between the ages in their behavior or training ability for potting training etc. ? Hope you can answer. It is a big debate in my mind. Thanks.
Joel has several puppy and small dog videos that might be helpful. 👍
@@User7688.--_ Thanks I will have to look for them.
And remember- never use command words like ‘go’. Your dog could get confused with the commonly used word ‘no’. A tip to remember for sure.🤓
Could you do a video on getting a muzzle on a dog that has had one on before and tries to bite when getting it on?I trying to get a muzzle on a family members dog so I can cut it's nails.
Would love a video about how to train an older puppy (7-12 months) to behave well around young kids/toddlers.
That's a tough one because kids tend to encourage negative behaviors in puppies like jumping. And kids get so excited and silly that the puppy feeds off that and starts getting out of hand. If it was me, I'd exercise the puppy first and then have the kids ignore the puppy until the puppy was calm. Then let them pet the puppy but if the puppy gets excited I'd have them ignore the puppy again. Soon puppy will learn that when he's calm he gets attention. At least from my experience
Train the kids....
Hey dog peeps 😊
@Sol Ros hello 👋🏼 😊
Always count on your 'hellos' in the comments!
@@andihd8768 Well thank you! We are all pretty fortunate to have a great community, such as this! Definitely one of my favorite, favorite channels and there’s so many awesome people here😁👋🏼
@@KingsMom831 my pleasure! Bang on the nose assessment there! So many wonderful folks & comments, I especially appreciate the dog training updates too from others. It helps solidify in my mind this is quality training. Yep, favorite channel here for me too!
Here's to another lovely day & an even better tomorrow!
🐾🐕
@@andihd8768 or “ boop” on the nose😆
You seem like the kind of person I’d love walking dogs with & just appreciating the finer things in life (for me that’s things like nature, my relationship with good friends and family and most of all connection with animals).
Have a great weekend!
About 5 years , full time is about 2000 hrs a year
Can you tell me how you made that dog-friendly pool?
Why on earth would I unsubscribe? That's the only bad advise on this video Joel 🤣
"It's an open door, they chose to stay."
Yes, but WHY did they make that choice? Because they respect the fact that you are in charge and everything happens on fair terms.
Also because of the body blocking and they kinda know they're going to get touched if they try anything.
In a similar manner I trained my dogs to stay behind me on command, off leash even where they can easily get around me. I started training it on narrow paths. Where they couldn't pass me without risking getting touched on the head.
I don't want to be a top tier trainer. I want to be a top tier breeder.
I feel like a thief learning all your little tricks from your long experience with dogs. I’ve had two dogs and although things don’t always go as planned, I tend to always “fix” or alter a behavior that is unwanted as long as I focus on one behavior at a time. (My newest pup is about to be 5mo. Still bitting everything 🤦🏽♂️)
They didn't chose to stay. Why would you say that?
5yrs @ 2000 hrs each year = 10K hrs
Bad not to use the same word for the command to go.
Odd he got more followers than Nate Schoemer.
Bunch of creepers 🙂
What a bunch of creepers.
Its just shy of 5 yes for 10000 hrs
