Watch my unique method for barking at things outside the house or property

I remember my mom saying “ok, I’ve got it” to our GSD when I was a kid in the 70s. He would walk away and come sit by her side. She passed away 10 years ago, so thank you for going through the steps to get there. My puppy needs it!

@jclorden yes. Doorbells are really tough. I occasionally look after a large lab that lives in the country. When he first came he barked wildly at everything including people getting into or out of cars a block away. His owner does want him to alert her when someone comes on the yard. I had to find a way to let him alert me or the owner and then stop. Before seeing any videos, I decided to acknowledge, thank him and then have him quiet down. It worked quite well. Doorbells are beyond me as he cannot understand that I do not need to be alerted to doorbells on TV. I wonder if I should just accept alerts about all doorbells including on TV. It would be very helpful to see what Beckman suggests.

This is nutz Joel! I have been doing this with my shepherd, catching her before she escalates and having her come immediately to me~and sometimes I treat her or sometimes we go into a mini mini training mode, sit, stay, down, good girl! When someone is at the door I can get her to run immediately to me (joyfully!) or sometimes she will bark at something in the front yard and I look at her and say "There's nobody out there!" and she is satisfied with that. Thank you!

April 6th: Thank you!! My puppy is (I think) going through a fear stage; she's like a different pup. She barks aggressively at stuff she never even noticed before. Have been doing this method for 2 days and she's much better. She also seems less fearful overall. Have yet to phase out "I see it" and treats but I think that will come. April 8th: better and better. Rarely have to give treats anymore and it's improved her "come". She often looks at me and comes without my asking. She is a SUPER alert, focused, and energetic puppy. It took a lot of work to get here, with more work still needed. Well worth it though.

I am a dog Trainer and i like to watch dog trainer’s videos. It helps me with my tools and other ideas to train dogs. I have tried it and it works. I have to say one have to be consistent, and soft on the voice to acknowledge the situation the dog is baking at. It will slow down their barking but it will never stop completely. Besides one does not want that. Owners want the dog to let you know when it is a stranger out there. Thank you.

Glad I found this. our 5 month GSD has found his voice, and wants to be sure everyone knows he's there. I'll start working with this and see if we can cut that off. He will bark when we let him out just to let people know he's outside, and then anyone that walks by is made aware too. It's aggravating, and he's VERY stubborn, so hopefully it will work. We plan on doing some training with you when he's a bit older, so the videos you share with us are extremely helpful. Thank you!

I like that this method doesn't surpress the barking altogether. I feel like my dog wants to alert me to something (most of the time) when he barks so this allows him to accomplish his 'mission' and then stand down. Have you ever noticed that your dog will bark and keep looking over at you? I have.

Oh man, thank you, this is something I really gonna use. I mentioned in another comment that my dog flips out when the doorbell is ringing or when something's happening outside the house. He's not flipping out on people, we trained him to be OK with visitors, somtimes our friends who are also our neighbours just walk in when they come over for a drink or dinner, he will go over and greet them because he knows them and so do they but nothing crazy. However, when someone rings the doorbell or the delivery guy drops a parcel at our door he freaks out. It's a different thing if someones ringing the bell and you go and open it, in that case you can just get him on leash and make hin stay or whatever but there's a lot of situations where something just happens outside and I have to do something.

I have a 1 yr old heeler that barks at me in the living room. I've tried everything from ignoring, water bottle, beep collar. Beep collar works but I don't like having to depend upon a device and I feel it creates a disconnect. After watching this video I tried "I see you" as a response to his barking and it worked. Will try again later in the day to see if it just wasn't a fluke-we did just hike 6 miles. I had two dogs years ago in a busy neighborhood. We did similar method-I didn't do the critical part of "I see it", so we had dogs that loved to bark in the yard to get treats. Or so it seemed. It was an endless cycle of go crazy in yard, come into the house for a treat... They had us well trained.

@@monicabelgardt6673 Well I I’m glad you like your neighbors! That’s more than I can say for myself LOL. For over a year, every day I noticed there was dog poop in the corner of my front yard and I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from until, one morning when I was up early around 5:30 AM, I saw a little dog crapping in my yard. I waited inside and watched to see where it went as I knew this dog was the culprit because it was in the same location and it looked the same. My next door neighbor (had been living there a year, so the timeline fits too) was out on her front porch but on all three sides of her porch, she hides behind these bamboo shades so she had been letting her dog out every morning to come over to my yard and take a crap and then she would let it back into her house. I politely walked over to introduce myself and let her know that her dog had been using my yard to defecate. I could not have been more friendly as the last thing I want is a dispute with people living in close proximity to me. So I introduced myself and not only did she completely ignore me I mean it’s like she turned into Helen Keller and couldn’t see or hear me. Just acted like I wasn’t even there and then rammed my shoulder with her shoulder and bumped me to walk past. Their dog barks constantly all through the night and they could care less. Every single time we walk up or down our driveway, their dog barks. It barks at anything and everything and it never stops. I realize I could try to file a report with animal control that when I inquired about it it seemed hopeless. It’s a lot of paperwork, then they have 30 days to “try“ and remedy the situation and from there they “might“ be cited with a ticket. Basically, these are the kind of people I prefer to steer clear of and just not engage with at all. Anyway, it sounds like your situation is improving which is great!. 😊 Sorry for the long winded response.

@@KingsMom831 I take off my hat to you - staying so calm . One of my mom’s neighbours in the uk let her dog defecate on the other neighbours front lawn - this lady was a new neighbour . The third day it happened - by now my mom’s neighbour was watching for it and took a photo from her front window of the dog pooping and the owner looking away then walking away with out picking it up . Well my mom’s neighbour went out side picked up the poop in a bag waked over to this new lady knocked on her door and handed her the bag of poop . There were some firm words I am sure - she ended by saying if this happened again she will be returning the poop through the mail slot in the front door . Return to sender . Anyway that was the last of the problem .Myself had a similar problem when I went to mow the grass in the ditch outside my property and found about 20 piles of dog crap right beside the neighbor’s drive way. So they were letting their dog out to poop right there . So I went over and politely told them i needed to mow the grass but we have a bit of a problem - someone had allowed their dog to use this area as a toilet - its likely the same owner/dog bec the feces is identical . At no point did I insinuate it was them . Instead I told them i am worried about their car parked on the driveway because once I start to mow , the blade with pick up all that crap and send it hurtling in all directions and it may hit their car . I also mentioned my disbelief that some one would be so inconsiderate and unhygenic to not pick up after their dog and they mumbled in agreement .They were very appreciative of my concern - moved the car while I did the mowing . And 2 weeks later when I went back to mow - not one dog turd . Problem solved amicably . Hopefully they are not just taking the dog over the other side to poop on the other neighbours boundary .

I do it a little different and I have 100% success. I get between what the dog is barking at and the dog and tell them that it is mine, I walk into the dog backing them away thus creating distance between what they are barking at until they go into a sit and then I praise. After awhile all I have to do is say it is mine and they take my word for it and stop barking. I know that dogs aren't suppose to be able to generalize but the "its mine" seems to work in a lot of scenarios other then a passer by or critter running through the yard. For what it is worth.

I've been doing something very similar for my dog. He still barks at the door in a protective way, but once I tell him - hey, quiet. He stops comes to me and I reward. And he doesn't go back to the door unless there are some really loud neighbors in our apartment building right at our door. But at first I redirected him to his bed and only when he is calm I gave him a treat and praised him. Now I don't always treat him and he still doesn't return. So I guess it works. He is a protective dog, it's part of his breed, but with this at least I can stop the barking after a few barks. I'm fine with him protecting the house, but I wish he wouldn't bark from the inside of the car at ppl or dogs he sees. I think he thinks the car is his teritory too. Haven't figured how to stop that, since it's hard to correct a dog in the car.

Timing is everything! It is best to set it up and preemptively stop the bark before it begins, you can see it building at the alert ears or shifting body positions, these and many more cues are given before a behavior begins and that is when and where the stop needs to occur. Waiting means you have to fight the existing learned behavior or you can stop it before it starts.

My family and I did this and it has all but eliminated the problem. Though, we didn't use treats. Honestly, just calmly saying thank you confused them enough to stop and look at us since before that it turned into a yelling match between us and the dogs. So we say thank you and we give them a "good dog" once they're quiet and have stepped away from the door. It seems to make them happy, like they've done a good job. Now there are times when a delivery man or the mailman can come up to our door and leave and they don't even notice. Or a car door slams and they just look up, maybe bark once, but don't get stupidly excited.

My adolescent dog started doing this. We've tried this method as well as the engage-disengage game. With this method, she'd come with me but the moment she takes the treat, she might run back there to bark. Or sometimes she's so worked up barking that she keeps barking even when we move away from the stimulus. Same issue with ppl knocking on the door (so we are desensitising by knocking on everything and treating calmness), but she might bark the moment she hears a knock from wherever she is and just loses it for a bit.

This technique works. I’ve done the same by trial and error. Only difference, my voice goes very low, almost a whisper. Thus, the dog is responding by redirecting, listening, then treat until the treat phase is traded out, often using simple touch affection as reward. The next step dog learns this means, come here, away from window ....

I've been trying something similar, my puppy is super barky and huffy at EVERYONE and everything. Way over the top and this is an interesting strategy. One thing I notice immediately is that my puppy might come away but still be focusing and barking or huffing and sneezing even with the "thing" out of sight. Would we still treat a short distance away or is there a better way to respond if the worked up behavior persists? The only other option I can think of is to keep adding distance until the dog chills, and then proceed to step #2 and treat

This method seemed to work for me indoors but at times when I have to leave my doberman in the backyard and i'm inside she barks at anything and everything(mostly noises behind our wall coming from the front yard). This is an issue because I work from my home office on the second floor of my house so I find myself having to fly down the stairs every 30 minutes to run outside and get her to stop. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated and thank you for all the wisdom you provide on your platform! Edit: also worth noting that she does stop alerting as soon as i go out and acknowledge. The issue is she alerts at EVERYTHING and this especially becomes an issue at night as I am surrounded by neighbors and i'm sure they're fed up lol.

We do this with our Great Pyrenees. We acknowledge him barking, calmly say "It's just a neighbour/kid/car/passing GPS satellite..." and treat him away from where he was barking. Doesn't work 100% but he is a Pyr!

Not sure you have a video up. I just found your channel. What’s your answer for getting a dog to let go of something or to spit out something it found on the ground? This is my 1st dog as an adult and she’s a 5month pit bull mix. She can learn commands but she definitely tries to be defiant. Also what about allowing a dog to roam the house? I want to trust her to walk around the house and not destroy anything or steal food.

I just came back to the video to see If I did something wrong because the progress stagnates for weeks now and behold I did something wrong. I started with just the acknowledging cue and treats, but without going to the dog first. So I already started a fadeout-step no 1. But still, all our dogs now have a solid cue which will get them out of the bark after 1-6 times barking, where before it was a mess. But its stuck there, which is why I came back. So now I will do it right and im very optimistic. Btw, the main dog which is trained is only 6 month old, so he still has time to adapt anyway. Both adult ones are way better then him as expected. Most of the time they are already standing there expecting treats why the jungest still barks which is awesome.

This is awesome. I have tried this with going to the door, and “saying, ok…thank you” and then calling her away and treating her. Can we do this when someone rings the bell and the dog goes out of their mind? I live in an apartment building and I have tried this method for the doorbell scenario and it doesn’t work. She just goes nuts, really hard to call her away from the door and she will sit there waiting for the “intruder”. Can you recommend what to do with the doorbell causing incessant alert barking?
@adrianadelia69572 жыл бұрын
Hello Beckman! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. I have a question for this particular training/drill. I have a Chodsky Pés (1 year and 2 months old), who barks alot when she hears people in my stairway (I live in a multiapartment building). She's at the point where she turns around and comes straight to me, when I tell her "I got this". So the good stuff is that I can stop her almost immediately. The problem is, that when she hears someone, she goes from 0-100 real quick. I mean, from laying sleeping on the couch to flyving over the table running to the door with really loud, almost panic-like barks. I dont mind her telling me there's new people in the stairway, but I do mind that she goes from 0-100. When I've had guest's over (like my grandma), she's giving then such a shock, when she hears someone. Do you have a method to.. calm the 0-100 down abit? Thank you, for all of your amazing videos, I've learned so much from them over time, as a first-time dog owner. Love and greetings from Denmark!
I remember my mom saying “ok, I’ve got it” to our GSD when I was a kid in the 70s. He would walk away and come sit by her side. She passed away 10 years ago, so thank you for going through the steps to get there. My puppy needs it!
Your account has to be one of the best free dog training content I've seen. Thank you!
watching Beckman's training videos ought to be mandatory for dog/pet owners lol
I think the next video should be “doorbells”!
Hecking yes
I'm seriously thinking about teaching my dog to bark differently for every member of my family...
@jclorden yes. Doorbells are really tough. I occasionally look after a large lab that lives in the country. When he first came he barked wildly at everything including people getting into or out of cars a block away. His owner does want him to alert her when someone comes on the yard. I had to find a way to let him alert me or the owner and then stop. Before seeing any videos, I decided to acknowledge, thank him and then have him quiet down. It worked quite well. Doorbells are beyond me as he cannot understand that I do not need to be alerted to doorbells on TV. I wonder if I should just accept alerts about all doorbells including on TV. It would be very helpful to see what Beckman suggests.
Yes! One of mine even barks at doorbells on the TV.
@@azielmelo7756 lol
This is nutz Joel! I have been doing this with my shepherd, catching her before she escalates and having her come immediately to me~and sometimes I treat her or sometimes we go into a mini mini training mode, sit, stay, down, good girl! When someone is at the door I can get her to run immediately to me (joyfully!) or sometimes she will bark at something in the front yard and I look at her and say "There's nobody out there!" and she is satisfied with that. Thank you!
Love it! Thank you, Joel. Always with the little details and keeping it real.
April 6th: Thank you!! My puppy is (I think) going through a fear stage; she's like a different pup. She barks aggressively at stuff she never even noticed before. Have been doing this method for 2 days and she's much better. She also seems less fearful overall. Have yet to phase out "I see it" and treats but I think that will come. April 8th: better and better. Rarely have to give treats anymore and it's improved her "come". She often looks at me and comes without my asking. She is a SUPER alert, focused, and energetic puppy. It took a lot of work to get here, with more work still needed. Well worth it though.
Basically what I do, thank them for warning me. Tell them no if they persist.
We have been doing this (per another trainer) with our very vocal Beagle mix, and it really does work. It takes time and consistency, but very much worth the effort!
I asked this question in one of your livestreams and now you made a video on it. Thank you!
Oh yes it works. My dobe barks at the window and goes crazy everything that walks by. I’ve been acknowledging “I see it” then happy voice walk into the kitchen for a treat. She now barks but stops after “I see it” and comes to get me! It’s fantastic. Thank you🐾
He is so much common sense.
@@andrasdudas5084 I love that about Beckman. He does give great and easy solutions to make living with your dog so much more relaxing
I'm going to try this. I've had a complaint from the neighbour! 🙄
I used to do this with my cattle/mastiff! As soon as I said "yep! I know. Thank you" she would make eye contact with me, then go lay down. Very protective of my family.
This is the one video I absolutely need. Thank you.
I am excited to implement this technique. EVERYTHING you recommend works. Ty so much. Please elaborate more on fence fighting.
Awesome video! I'm forever grateful none of my current 3 are quick to bark and now I know what to do if any of my future dogs are more vocal
Thanks! I have to say this is by far the most effective and humane method.
here a comment from Germany: it works! Figured out the same method and I´m very happy to see such a professional and awesome, competent trainer uses it. Can learn from this to improve my doing! Love your channel by the way. Helps me lot with my leash reactive Australian Shepard. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us. I´cant come to San Diego to learn from you ;)
I had been doing the first half of this and it helped a little, but not fully... so today I will try the whole thing...I think it will definitely work! nice to know i was on the right track and now have the missing piece. Thanks!
Thank you for addressing this type of barking. Very simple and I will put into action immediately.
This man is changing my life!!!!!
My daughter and her husband did essentially this years ago. Worked great. Their BRT has aBIG voice so it was important. Also they taught her to bark on command with treats. Finally, they taught her to woof, once, for ‘yes’ in response to their question ‘do you want yo go for a walk?’
Good video! Sort of what I did/do with my Aussie/Lab mix (now at 15 months of age). He still barks to alert but stops when told to do so. He barks when startled, otherwise, he growls to alert. I like the alert, as my hearing isn't what it used to be. Thanks for the video.
I am a dog Trainer and i like to watch dog trainer’s videos. It helps me with my tools and other ideas to train dogs. I have tried it and it works. I have to say one have to be consistent, and soft on the voice to acknowledge the situation the dog is baking at. It will slow down their barking but it will never stop completely. Besides one does not want that. Owners want the dog to let you know when it is a stranger out there. Thank you.
Glad I found this. our 5 month GSD has found his voice, and wants to be sure everyone knows he's there. I'll start working with this and see if we can cut that off. He will bark when we let him out just to let people know he's outside, and then anyone that walks by is made aware too. It's aggravating, and he's VERY stubborn, so hopefully it will work. We plan on doing some training with you when he's a bit older, so the videos you share with us are extremely helpful. Thank you!
i have also only been doing the first half and i never understood why it never fully helped the dog chill. THANK YOU!!!
This is BRILLIANT! I can’t wait to try it.
Ohh I got Maltes soon 10 month old for my second week. He is with the family when the kids are there there every second week. He is not raised well and I work with him in your kind of spirit as I have the same way of thinking when it comes to dogs. As you can imagine I'm so happy to find you as you give me tools and confidence I'm on the right track. He barks so now I will try your way. I let you know. Thank you.
I’ve been using this method for my 10 month Giant Schnauzer puppy since he was about 8 months and it worked! Instead of “I see it,” I say “thank you,” and I’d redirect him and then reward him. Now he may do a small bark and then look at me to make sure that I am aware and it only took about 2 weeks to phase out of the treats!
@@wren1024 he definitely is right! Since you’re familiar with the schnauzer family, you can only imagine how the Giants are! I’m glad that I worked my puppy through the barking and we were able to be on the same page. I’m also glad to read that you were able to use this method for your standard and mini! I absolutely love the obedience and intelligence of schnauzers.
It works! I've been doing this with my GSD since he was a puppy. It's important to clearly "take over" the responsibility of the situation. Do it with your presence.
Awesome! Best tips I’ve watched so far.
I’m going to try tonight! Our dog barks at least 5-6 times throughout the day...thanks!!! Will let you know. Okay 👍 we’ve been working with our dog on this! Success 😀. I will say it’s a 80% improvement. We’ll keep working with him.
I like that this method doesn't surpress the barking altogether. I feel like my dog wants to alert me to something (most of the time) when he barks so this allows him to accomplish his 'mission' and then stand down. Have you ever noticed that your dog will bark and keep looking over at you? I have.
Oh man, thank you, this is something I really gonna use. I mentioned in another comment that my dog flips out when the doorbell is ringing or when something's happening outside the house. He's not flipping out on people, we trained him to be OK with visitors, somtimes our friends who are also our neighbours just walk in when they come over for a drink or dinner, he will go over and greet them because he knows them and so do they but nothing crazy. However, when someone rings the doorbell or the delivery guy drops a parcel at our door he freaks out. It's a different thing if someones ringing the bell and you go and open it, in that case you can just get him on leash and make hin stay or whatever but there's a lot of situations where something just happens outside and I have to do something.
I have a 1 yr old heeler that barks at me in the living room. I've tried everything from ignoring, water bottle, beep collar. Beep collar works but I don't like having to depend upon a device and I feel it creates a disconnect. After watching this video I tried "I see you" as a response to his barking and it worked. Will try again later in the day to see if it just wasn't a fluke-we did just hike 6 miles. I had two dogs years ago in a busy neighborhood. We did similar method-I didn't do the critical part of "I see it", so we had dogs that loved to bark in the yard to get treats. Or so it seemed. It was an endless cycle of go crazy in yard, come into the house for a treat... They had us well trained.
I did this accidentally before seeing your video. It worked. After seeing your video, I can see why. Thank you. I will polish the technique.
What great common sense advice. Step by step.
brilliant,this guys the best in the business
Cannot wait to try this. Thank you🐾❤️
Love this! Would love to know what you do for fence fighting.
It’s my next door neighbors dog that CONSTANTLY barks, even in the middle of the night, super frustrating. I always get up to look and acknowledge what my dog is alerting me too. It’s nice to know you do this too! I use affection but I love this idea! Wish I could do this at the neighbors 😂 I’m fortunate that my dog hardly ever barks, if he does, you can be certain, it’s for a good reason.
Im in the same boat. I love my neighbours dogs. They are lovely well loved and gentle. However they are both herding dogs with nothing to herd aaaaand are pretty chatty. Ive checked with the neighbours to see if I can give treats and this has helped a lot.
@@monicabelgardt6673 Well I I’m glad you like your neighbors! That’s more than I can say for myself LOL. For over a year, every day I noticed there was dog poop in the corner of my front yard and I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from until, one morning when I was up early around 5:30 AM, I saw a little dog crapping in my yard. I waited inside and watched to see where it went as I knew this dog was the culprit because it was in the same location and it looked the same. My next door neighbor (had been living there a year, so the timeline fits too) was out on her front porch but on all three sides of her porch, she hides behind these bamboo shades so she had been letting her dog out every morning to come over to my yard and take a crap and then she would let it back into her house. I politely walked over to introduce myself and let her know that her dog had been using my yard to defecate. I could not have been more friendly as the last thing I want is a dispute with people living in close proximity to me. So I introduced myself and not only did she completely ignore me I mean it’s like she turned into Helen Keller and couldn’t see or hear me. Just acted like I wasn’t even there and then rammed my shoulder with her shoulder and bumped me to walk past. Their dog barks constantly all through the night and they could care less. Every single time we walk up or down our driveway, their dog barks. It barks at anything and everything and it never stops. I realize I could try to file a report with animal control that when I inquired about it it seemed hopeless. It’s a lot of paperwork, then they have 30 days to “try“ and remedy the situation and from there they “might“ be cited with a ticket. Basically, these are the kind of people I prefer to steer clear of and just not engage with at all. Anyway, it sounds like your situation is improving which is great!. 😊 Sorry for the long winded response.
@@KingsMom831 I take off my hat to you - staying so calm . One of my mom’s neighbours in the uk let her dog defecate on the other neighbours front lawn - this lady was a new neighbour . The third day it happened - by now my mom’s neighbour was watching for it and took a photo from her front window of the dog pooping and the owner looking away then walking away with out picking it up . Well my mom’s neighbour went out side picked up the poop in a bag waked over to this new lady knocked on her door and handed her the bag of poop . There were some firm words I am sure - she ended by saying if this happened again she will be returning the poop through the mail slot in the front door . Return to sender . Anyway that was the last of the problem .Myself had a similar problem when I went to mow the grass in the ditch outside my property and found about 20 piles of dog crap right beside the neighbor’s drive way. So they were letting their dog out to poop right there . So I went over and politely told them i needed to mow the grass but we have a bit of a problem - someone had allowed their dog to use this area as a toilet - its likely the same owner/dog bec the feces is identical . At no point did I insinuate it was them . Instead I told them i am worried about their car parked on the driveway because once I start to mow , the blade with pick up all that crap and send it hurtling in all directions and it may hit their car . I also mentioned my disbelief that some one would be so inconsiderate and unhygenic to not pick up after their dog and they mumbled in agreement .They were very appreciative of my concern - moved the car while I did the mowing . And 2 weeks later when I went back to mow - not one dog turd . Problem solved amicably . Hopefully they are not just taking the dog over the other side to poop on the other neighbours boundary .
I had a neighbor flat out lie and said the dogs belong to the neighbors next to me...and I'm like "Nope, I know their dogs". Keep insisting and months later they admitted to my mom the dogs belong to them. And I'm like..."Yep, I knew it". Maybe they should get rid of the big "WELCOME" sign next to their front house door. SMH.
@@jennymeleny2791 Wow, some people 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you again! 🎉
This sounds great. I'll try it. Thanks!
Never tried the first part of this but the second part has really helped with my territorial toy poodle. Gonna try the first bit too and see if it helps us more! Thanks!
Thanks so much! I needed that technique 😎
Awesome !! Respect from INDIA Sir 🇮🇳
Don't know if my methods are right or wrong but it works. I sit out side and when they go to bark at a dog or person i say no firmly, if they continue i walk up tell them no firmly and push them away from the fence and let them know the fence is my territory, it took about 5,6 times now i don't have to say anything most of the time and when i do say something its just no and they stop. But thank you for your videos, they do help. I don't do treats period
This works, I saw a video a few years back, some guy from the UK. Nice video!
This method doess work a treat. It's my go to method, thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I was doing just the acknowledgment.
Great Tip,well worth a try.Thank you .
I do it a little different and I have 100% success. I get between what the dog is barking at and the dog and tell them that it is mine, I walk into the dog backing them away thus creating distance between what they are barking at until they go into a sit and then I praise. After awhile all I have to do is say it is mine and they take my word for it and stop barking. I know that dogs aren't suppose to be able to generalize but the "its mine" seems to work in a lot of scenarios other then a passer by or critter running through the yard. For what it is worth.
Thanks, AMAZING, and boy, does it work! Big change after 2 days of applying this.
Thank you so much for your videos! I have been binge watching them all week. I love dogs, I’ve always wanted one of my own. I have my favorite names picked out, I’ve been researching all my favorite breeds. There’s just one thing that stops me from getting my pup: I hate the idea of leaving my dog at home while I’m at work. I was thinking doggy daycare, do you like them? Are they worth it? Or would agility, frisbee, and a couple long hikes spread out through the week be enough for them to have a happy life, even with me working 8 hours a day? Thanks for reading, Charlie Also do you have a book I can buy on dog training?
I am SO GLAD you made this video!! We have needed it!! I haven't seen one on doorbells yet...any chance??
I see how this will work.. I'm on it with my boys as of this minute...
If it works try it on your dogs as well 😆
Acknowledging alone helps sometimes (ca.30%).i will definitely try the call him and treat him in the kitchen though.
This WORKS. Great video!
I've been doing something very similar for my dog. He still barks at the door in a protective way, but once I tell him - hey, quiet. He stops comes to me and I reward. And he doesn't go back to the door unless there are some really loud neighbors in our apartment building right at our door. But at first I redirected him to his bed and only when he is calm I gave him a treat and praised him. Now I don't always treat him and he still doesn't return. So I guess it works. He is a protective dog, it's part of his breed, but with this at least I can stop the barking after a few barks. I'm fine with him protecting the house, but I wish he wouldn't bark from the inside of the car at ppl or dogs he sees. I think he thinks the car is his teritory too. Haven't figured how to stop that, since it's hard to correct a dog in the car.
I'm having the same problem for the car! But also inside the house and was wondering how long it took you for the behaviour to shift? Thanks!
This is the video I needed! Looking forward to trying it, will let you know how it goes.
Timing is everything! It is best to set it up and preemptively stop the bark before it begins, you can see it building at the alert ears or shifting body positions, these and many more cues are given before a behavior begins and that is when and where the stop needs to occur. Waiting means you have to fight the existing learned behavior or you can stop it before it starts.
This Is very nice!
My family and I did this and it has all but eliminated the problem. Though, we didn't use treats. Honestly, just calmly saying thank you confused them enough to stop and look at us since before that it turned into a yelling match between us and the dogs. So we say thank you and we give them a "good dog" once they're quiet and have stepped away from the door. It seems to make them happy, like they've done a good job. Now there are times when a delivery man or the mailman can come up to our door and leave and they don't even notice. Or a car door slams and they just look up, maybe bark once, but don't get stupidly excited.
i'm a professional housesitter, and recently starting babysitting a dog who is a HUGE barker at things outside, and very hard to distract from barking. will definitely try this method next time i babysit him. thanks!
Update?
I’m going to try this, there’s a dog door that leds out to the balcony that overlooks the main road, so there’s a tonne of people just walking by, cycling, walking dogs etc. I used to just call their names ( 2 Maltese doggies) and then bring them inside (picking them up). Usually they would ignore the recall or just continue barking like crazy at the people. I will use this method and hopefully I can fix this. Wish me luck 🤞
Good to mention that fence fighting is another level ...👍
I have heard something similar to this and I really like this idea LOL I will try it. I am the new manager at the Littlefield motel in North West Texas and I don't want my dogs disturbing the people that come to rent rooms
Great tip! needed this
Thank you!! Gonna try this and comment about how it went in a week or two!
My adolescent dog started doing this. We've tried this method as well as the engage-disengage game. With this method, she'd come with me but the moment she takes the treat, she might run back there to bark. Or sometimes she's so worked up barking that she keeps barking even when we move away from the stimulus. Same issue with ppl knocking on the door (so we are desensitising by knocking on everything and treating calmness), but she might bark the moment she hears a knock from wherever she is and just loses it for a bit.
This technique works. I’ve done the same by trial and error. Only difference, my voice goes very low, almost a whisper. Thus, the dog is responding by redirecting, listening, then treat until the treat phase is traded out, often using simple touch affection as reward. The next step dog learns this means, come here, away from window ....
Yes, I use this with my dog. I say "OHHH, yeaaa, I see that!" "Yup" "okay" a gentle pat/rub on her side or on her chest below her neck. I ALWAYS say "Thank You" and she goes quiet.. well it's now she just lets out a "woof woof" and I check the window or door, "Yup, thank you".. It stops immediately. So easy. But I take her seriously, I WANT her to guard, She's a Bouvier- it's HER Job. You can't be a lazy bone and sit and yell their name and "shuddup!", They think you are a lazy bone big mouth barker who wont Check it out.. Even if you know it's only the neighbor's car door and he's home from work. Get up and look in that direction and aknowledge your dog.
Felix. Exactly. I did similar and always say Thank you.
I love this 😊
love bouviers
Going to try and use this starting today. I just sent a message regarding this issue the other day. I’ll follow up with a response
i did this years ago with my golden…my husband traveled alot, i didn’t want to stop intruder alert, soi taught him to bark ob command, then quiet on command, and added its ok, i see it, now quiet, treat reward. one time a landscape guy came through the gate, my dog went ballistic barking, i walked out to see the guy frozen in place…i said it’s ok, quiet, my dog changed to calm like turning off the switch, tail wagging he went up for a pet…. this completely works, but you have to do the work training all the steps…then you’re really having a conversation with your dog.
Hoping this helps my dog with barking at everyone on our walk. I am realizing I need to keep it positive, match his energy level and keep him moving instead of trying to quiet him which just makes him bark more.
Wow!! Amazing method. Thank you for sharing! My dog is an outside dog so I don't have to deal with her inside, but outside. I think I will try the method with her outside and see if it works. Thanks again!
that's a thing? an "outside dog"?
@@nicolebrennan3085 haha yup!!
This will help. Can’t wait to try it.
Could you please make a video about spaying/neutering your dog I have been liking the recent videos keep it up!
Thid is the method I have been using and its been helping!
Hi Joel, great stuff. My parents are dealing with an old dog who is developing diabetes and blindness. He sometimes snaps when getting insulin or when he gets touched (probably surprising him). He also wants to get up frequently in the night. Do you have any advice on how to give a dog an injection, how to deal with blind dogs, how to deal with dogs waking too early, or advice on old and sick dogs in general?
We have a bike path in front of our house and constant joggers, walkers, biking.....Trying this immediately! I'm working on the bed thing....so so so far but we keep at it...I have a 11 month old mini aussie..
This makes me feel better that I'm not checking the door for no reason now. I halfway thought I was renforcing the barking maybe by checking and telling them nothing there, I just need to bring in the treat. Now I have to work with the kennel barker, tho it's mostly when he is excited because he knows it's time to come out of the kennel.
Jo you are the best!
Thanks.
You are an amazing trainer with easy to follow instructions thank you. I have a very anxious puppy, and I live in an apartment building, and every time they hear a noise they run to the door and bark. do I do the same thing you’re sharing here?
Marking the bad behavior basically. I do it slightly different but it definitely does work well. If you establish the marker really good, it'll work for basically anything else the same way. Even fence fighting depending on the situation.
Can’t wait to try this thanks
I even tried this in the yard and it began to work. How crazy! I have to try it when people come over but I tried it when they barked at something in the window and they totally went for a liver treat me and my mom made. Wow!
I'm definitely going to try this.
I do the exact same thing...except the treat part! My boxer Java still barks at every delivery truck that just goes down the street. I'll start adding treats and see how it goes.
Thanks ... this worked !
Will give this a try..thankyou
Hey there, do you have a video about the fence barking like you mentioned? My 2 dogs wait at the fence for the other dogs to come out. All Of them run up and down the fence just barking. Even the neighbours dogs. Thanks
I've been trying something similar, my puppy is super barky and huffy at EVERYONE and everything. Way over the top and this is an interesting strategy. One thing I notice immediately is that my puppy might come away but still be focusing and barking or huffing and sneezing even with the "thing" out of sight. Would we still treat a short distance away or is there a better way to respond if the worked up behavior persists? The only other option I can think of is to keep adding distance until the dog chills, and then proceed to step #2 and treat
I will try this for sure ‼️
Amazing content again. What happens when your not home? How do you know if they are calm?
Do you have or recommend a video for fence fighting? I foster dogs and would like to be able to help my current foster with this issue. I really appreciate your skill, knowledge, and techniques.
Yes Joel did fence fighting video a week or so ago. Scroll back through his contents a bit.
Nice! On it! Thank you 😁
This method seemed to work for me indoors but at times when I have to leave my doberman in the backyard and i'm inside she barks at anything and everything(mostly noises behind our wall coming from the front yard). This is an issue because I work from my home office on the second floor of my house so I find myself having to fly down the stairs every 30 minutes to run outside and get her to stop. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated and thank you for all the wisdom you provide on your platform! Edit: also worth noting that she does stop alerting as soon as i go out and acknowledge. The issue is she alerts at EVERYTHING and this especially becomes an issue at night as I am surrounded by neighbors and i'm sure they're fed up lol.
Did you manage to fix this problem? If so, how? 🥹
We do this with our Great Pyrenees. We acknowledge him barking, calmly say "It's just a neighbour/kid/car/passing GPS satellite..." and treat him away from where he was barking. Doesn't work 100% but he is a Pyr!
Not sure you have a video up. I just found your channel. What’s your answer for getting a dog to let go of something or to spit out something it found on the ground? This is my 1st dog as an adult and she’s a 5month pit bull mix. She can learn commands but she definitely tries to be defiant. Also what about allowing a dog to roam the house? I want to trust her to walk around the house and not destroy anything or steal food.
I just came back to the video to see If I did something wrong because the progress stagnates for weeks now and behold I did something wrong. I started with just the acknowledging cue and treats, but without going to the dog first. So I already started a fadeout-step no 1. But still, all our dogs now have a solid cue which will get them out of the bark after 1-6 times barking, where before it was a mess. But its stuck there, which is why I came back. So now I will do it right and im very optimistic. Btw, the main dog which is trained is only 6 month old, so he still has time to adapt anyway. Both adult ones are way better then him as expected. Most of the time they are already standing there expecting treats why the jungest still barks which is awesome.
This is awesome. I have tried this with going to the door, and “saying, ok…thank you” and then calling her away and treating her. Can we do this when someone rings the bell and the dog goes out of their mind? I live in an apartment building and I have tried this method for the doorbell scenario and it doesn’t work. She just goes nuts, really hard to call her away from the door and she will sit there waiting for the “intruder”. Can you recommend what to do with the doorbell causing incessant alert barking?
Hello Beckman! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. I have a question for this particular training/drill. I have a Chodsky Pés (1 year and 2 months old), who barks alot when she hears people in my stairway (I live in a multiapartment building). She's at the point where she turns around and comes straight to me, when I tell her "I got this". So the good stuff is that I can stop her almost immediately. The problem is, that when she hears someone, she goes from 0-100 real quick. I mean, from laying sleeping on the couch to flyving over the table running to the door with really loud, almost panic-like barks. I dont mind her telling me there's new people in the stairway, but I do mind that she goes from 0-100. When I've had guest's over (like my grandma), she's giving then such a shock, when she hears someone. Do you have a method to.. calm the 0-100 down abit? Thank you, for all of your amazing videos, I've learned so much from them over time, as a first-time dog owner. Love and greetings from Denmark!
