I think pack corrections was 50%- your correction and desensitization were each 25%. As a preschool teacher I had a kid who bit- a lot, often and nothing we did seemed to help. Finally he bit a smaller but tough girl who calmly bit him back- hard! That was the end of biting. That little girl was the “prince” of my classroom. Also she never once bit anyone else.

I remember biting my mom... and then, she bite me. Up to this point, I kinda didn't understand it would hurt her if I did that, so that day I learned that other people feel pain too and they will react at some point if you try to hurt them. I was suuuuper young obviously so clearly it left a deep mark in my brain. Must be part of our animal bodies

My Australia shepherd passed away mid covid, she was my best friend for 12 years. That dog went everywhere with me, and was only on leash about 1% of her entire life. I put a lot of effort into training her and she for the rest of her life was always attentive to my commands, even if she picked up food. I could say drop and instantly dropped it. Walked right beside me no leash, would run off into the woods on command, return on command. Sucks losing your best friend, but I’m grateful for the time I had with her.

@Gazzaroo Жыл бұрын
Dogs learn differently than humans. They rely more on feelings, sounds, smells, and visual thoughts rather than verbal thoughts. Conditional reflexes are more important for them, and they form with repetition. Dogs don't care what happened yesterday; they care what happens every time they are in a situation. Unless it's a traumatic experience. That's a whole different way of learning. If a traumatic event does occur, it can cause learning that is instant, lasts for the rest of the dog's life and is very difficult to change. Dog interactions with Prince in these videos might sometimes get a tiny bit traumatic, but in a safe, ethical way without causing harm. Dog might remember "what happened yesterday" in these scenarios and the effects have a chance of lasting longer with less effort so that sounds great. However as a dog owner I have never thought of a good way to use traumatic experiences with training my dog. My conclusion after thinking about it for the last 7 years of owning a dog is that there is simply no practical, safe and ethical way to use trauma to train a dog at home(I am not even that morally against it, it's just not possible to create a situation where it would work). I don't ever want my dog to remember what happened yesterday. "Wonderful thing about dogs...they don't care what happened yesterday..." - That's the only situation you want.

One time, I knew someone with a very aggressive dog who just loved to drag the owner. I volunteered to walk it so they said ok. I let the dog know right away we were going to walk at my pace and every time he tried to sprint, I stopped, pulled his leash back, ignored him until I was ready to walk. At the end, he was walking beside me and not even looking at other dogs. When I took him back to his owner, they said I was too mean, that I should not have treated their dog so roughly. So I said ok, then walk him now. That dog took one look at their owner, gave a dog smirk and took off, knocking the owner down. The owner ended up giving it away, but at least that dog walked beside me one time. Some owners are just stupid, I hate to use the word.

They can provide correction and desensitization, and educate the owner on how to continue this. The dog will live for 15 years and yeah, one session isn't going to change the dog forever. But that's the case for just about anything in life. If you own a dog it's your responsibility. If you need help, get it, but it's still on you at the end of the day. What I've found is, most dog owners literally never correct their dog's behavior. They completely ignore bad behaviors and just pet the dog when they themselves need some emotional support. They don't snap, clap, or raise their voice at the dog and all they do is pamper the dog and let it run the house. Most dog owners, have absolutely zero clue how to own a dog.

I have owned heelers since 1997. It's so easy to see when this heeler gets into his instinctive driving, heeling mode. The flat run and then the bite. It is imperative to socialize a heeler pup early and be firm. They are a tough dog, and strong willed. I believe they are a dog for a more experienced dog owner, as the Dingo base in them is still very much a part of their personality. My dogs were working dogs, so I learned early about socializing them as puppies. My first, most dominant heeler, wouldn't heel another dog or most people, but he had heeled two people he perceived as a threat. Both were a light nip. He did work cattle and goats. and would treat an adult goat much differently than a kid goat. I also had horses and an old pony who taught him to leave horses alone.

All herding dogs are very fear aggressive. They were bred by humans to bite and bite to kill. They either dominate others completely to become less fearful. Or they will have to "learn" to let go their dominance and still feel safe by making friends or by practicing mutual tolerance. My Aussie mix (with super dominance behavior) fought with my old dog twice. It was scary. After the second fight, I said "enough is enough". I grabbed them both into the bathroom for the final stand off. I yelled at them severely. I made sure they would never fight again. They were never friends, but they learned how to tolerate each other. There was never a third fight before my old dog passed away two years ago. Older dogs are more difficult to make new friends. I adopted my Aussie when she was 2. My old dog never had a problem with other dogs. But older dogs can still learn to tolerate and survive peacefully with each other, just like humans.

I have a cattle dog who has always been very sensitive and timid and submissive. She doesn't go after other dogs like this one but gets equally overwhelmed. She's naturally more confident with dogs who show they have little interest in her. But dogs who are pushy and keep trying to play even though she is trying to retreat and deescalate the situation, tend to push her towards being snappy. She's never bitten. But air snaps. I don't see it as inappropriate on her part, I see it as the other dog being rude and not listening to her attempts to say "no". I wish there was a program like yours near me that I could have my cattle dog interact with well socialized, polite dogs, to gain confidence around other dogs. Its so hard to find a good match for my timid, sensitive cattle dog.

I have 2 dobermans and they have always been fabulous. Everyone that meets my dogs are in awe that they listen! Why? Because I don't take their shit! They only get praise when they are being good/calm and they were corrected when appropriate. Now I rarely have to give them corrections.

Some of the major things I realized is if they do not have respect for you and see you as their master in the home you will have zero control outside the home. I had to do some major changes in the home and I never backed down from her aggression. She now is in the correct pecking order and is a very sweet girl who listens well and watches over the kids. Also they get hyper focused and are very reactive by nature. I would love to see training on how to teach them to leave small animals alone.

I have an Australian Cattle Dog mix, and really love him. He is not aggressive, but is territorial and responds well to corrections. He was not well socialized when I took him in and was afraid of a lot of normal things and loud noises. However, I worked with him a lot and walked him daily and he has calmed down a lot. He loves to train and loves his walks.

One thing you did a lot but didn’t mention the importance to the training was advocating for Kylo and showing him that you were in control of the situation when it came to the other dogs. Multiple times you told the other dogs to back off, and I found when I was socializing my dog that was huge for her. If another dog came in a little hot, then I got between and told them off - so many fearful and unsocialized dogs get defensive, but him knowing he could come to you if he was overwhelmed helps him make good decisions. When another dog started something with mine, or my dog gave warnings that another dog ignored, I always made sure to be her backup and take her side as much as is appropriate. That way she knew that if I was there, she could defer to me when things get crazy.

I said “I can do this all day and night as Idon’t have any place to be until tomorrow night.” And then voila! You’re talking a bout making shirts!

@jason_alan Жыл бұрын
I’m retired but worked with a lot of dogs like this. Same methods, pretty much. I’d say your corrections had the highest effect with this dog, based on how he was constantly checking in with you afterwards. And accepting what you told him. Prince gave him something to think about…his experience previously was being attacked (which Prince wasn’t doing) or attacking first (which you clearly told him was not acceptable) Desensitisation a little bit. He is learning impulse control over instinct, which in a way I find somewhat sad as he has been bred to do a job, be that way, then put in a situation with no job. But he is where he is, and you give him his best chance of success. I had so many dogs in on their last chance, but no one had actually very clearly told them ‘no’. You do what they need, if it’s that or death. Edit: I wrote before hearing what you thought on percentages. I agree with what you said, and especially on Princes interaction. That definitely threw a switch. But I still favour the corrections as a higher percentage, due to his immediately looking to you for guidance after. Not all dogs do that. I think it gave him confidence knowing you were in charge of the situation, allowed him to rethink, reset, and as you say, it stuck. It can be that fast! Great job.

My parents always had multiple dogs...5, 7, 9 not abnormal at all. We lived in the country and "strays" would end up at our place all the time. Most couldn't be rehomed the way they were and if they went to the shelter many would have been put down. All most all the bigger aggressive dogs all it would take was one of the older bigger dogs to call them on their attitude, some time little bits of blood was drawn. But they became best buds and alot easier to help get good homes after. Dad said it was like being in a wolf pack. There was an alpha male and female and they kept control of the pack and taught the younger ones to become social in the pack. They never let attacks really happen but...sometimes before we got the dog really to us they would push to hard.. the older dogs always seem to know when to stop. It was weird seeing them later still "correcting the attude" usually all it took was a look and a low growl. Ya know the look like mom gives when you are in public ya same look. Enjoying these very much.

I'm a trainer and work at a doggy daycare. My girlfriend a few months ago rescued a 5 year old, lifetime neighborhood stray pitty. She doesn't respect or understand humans as authority figures (she does now, but it took a while), doesn't give a F about treats when she's outside, doesn't listen to commands when stimulus is present, and has never been exposed to people or dogs in a positive way. We spent about 6 full twelve hour days slowly exposing her to dogs - using mostly my corrections, very similar to the brother and sister bullys that you've been working with. She had the slowest progress and was getting very frustrating to work with - due to the fact that she simply didn't respond to corrections (since she didn't ever see humans as any form of authority). It was the first issue I've EVER had with reactive dogs completely ignoring me. No check in's after corrections, no eye contact with humans (or fear/avoidance) - she simply didn't care that we existed. One day I decided to bring my big mama 130 lbs English mastiff in to meet her, and I Kept the muzzle on her(pitty) for safety, but let her free roam. My Big girl corrected her twice - a little differently than Prince backing him up - but ever since then, she truly realized her behavior was unacceptable. Since that day, she has now been with LITERALLY hundreds, if not just over a thousand different dogs and hasn't had a single other incidence. I think the percentage is very different for each dog considering the circumstances. For my girlfriends pitty, I'd say it was roughly 15% desensitization, 75% dog on dog correction, and 10% my corrections. For most dogs and this dog, I think rather than an even 1/3 split, the corrections were around 40%, prince 20%, and desensitization 40%. It seems like this was a very under socialized dog, so i think the desensitization is a bit of a bigger part (since he hardly knew what to do around other dogs), and the corrections were a bit more important because before this - it seems like he hadnt ever had a real "proper" correction for bad behavior. Lastly - funny story - You said "cattle dogs bite pretty hard". I KNOW *cry*. My very first day working at a doggy daycare, no one mentioned to me that a cattle dog was terrified of new people. I had my back turned and she bit my ankle and broke skin THROUGH leather cowboy boots AND jeans - then left purple and black bruise for about 2 weeks lol. We never became friends because the family moved shortly after - but I wont ever forget her

This is so interesting! I have been working with a cattle dog who is intermittently aggressive toward smaller dogs for no visible reason. I spent many walks with him praising for "leaving it" and giving a harsh verbal reprimand for lunging. I don't reward with treats because it felt better to use my tone so I'm glad to hear Beckman say the same. The other day I corrected his lunge/bark at a dog who, in fairness, did bark/lunge at him, but a few moments later he was ABOUT to lunge at a neighborhood cat. He got out ONE second of a growl before I corrected him verbally and I swear he looked at me, like: "That was BAD, right? I shouldn't do that. Okay, I won't..." It was very cute and quite satisfying too. His owner says he attacks small dogs, but I had him walking in a pack with his "cousin" who he is submissive to, and two little terriers and he was amazing!

You mention verbal praise as on roughly the same level as a treat, but I personally think verbal praise is much more effective because it shows approval from the person the dog trusts. If a dog does something undesirable they get corrected, or reprimanded, usually the next thing the dog will do is "apologize" by rubbing on you, or getting close so you know it knows it screwed up. All it wants during this exchange is approval. At least in the instance the dog respects, and values it's parent. I love all animals, but I raise 3 cats, and all of my cats are very well behaved. They all know their names, and I talk to them as fellow human family members. One thing I really dislike is when people fail to realize that the animals in our care are legitimate family members. Not "like" family, they ARE family. To the animal you are the pack alpha, and there's no distinction between species. I love your work because there have been numerous cases I've seen where had those dogs not come to you they'd be at risk of being put down over an attack, or even a parent who has reached the end of the line. Thank you!

I think that any dog on leash and/or muzzle around dogs off leash recognizes that he is vulnerable - can’t run away, can’t defend by biting. Personally, I think the cattle dog learned a very valuable lesson when Prince backed him down, but didn’t aggress. Again Prince modeled good manners for him and he learned from that. An important part of the desensitization and socialization process was the other dogs modeling friendly neutral behavior. I give Prince and the other dogs 50-55%, and the human interaction, both positive and corrective 45-50%. He learned what was expected on leash , learned he was safe (even muzzled and on leash), and then had the opportunity to put his new lessons to practice off leash. It was a good day for this Heeler!

Very cool video. It was cute to see the puppy go behind the Blue Heeler and look over his shoulder over and over. I think the fact that Blue Heelers are smart really helped here. This Blue Heeler seemed to recognize that the puppy was of no threat, and was much more concerned about the bigger dogs. That's why I think he had an issue with Zoey, who kept following and is a really big dog. That's quite the threat, even though Zoey wasn't being threatening. This dog clearly loves people, though, because when you talked to him or he looked at you he'd calm down a lot. He has lots of poise, too, to go from being so overwhelmed to being able to get back on track. Your %'s seem pretty accurate to me.

She then claimed that I had to sell her her groceries,But I told her if you’re not gonna listen to the stores rules then I’m not telling you your groceries and you can leave she didn’t want to listen to me so she went to one of my bosses and tried to say that I refuse to sell her her supplies; after she complained to my boss, my boss came over to me and asked me for my side of the story. Well I was trying to tell my boss my side of the story the lady kept trying to interject but my boss didn’t want anything to do with it and told her calmly to be quiet. When I finally managed to tell my boss a true story, the lady became upset. The lady then tried to fib and say that they weren’t doing anything of the sort my boss knew better and decided to tell the lady that they were gonna look at the cameras. The lady was about to open her mouth when my boss told her to keep her mouth shut until they came back with the truth of the matter. Shortly after my boss came back and told me that I had done a good job. The lady just about threw a fit when she heard that; my boss turned around and looked at her and told her,” if your kids aren’t going to stay out of the alcohol when they’re obviously under 21 years of age we can kick you out of the store and ban you permanently from ever entering ever again.” The lady got all huffy and decide to leave without paying for any of her stuff and left her stuff there in front of my register. I wish one of these days that I can come across more honest kind and patient people and not rude and arrogant people who think they’re entitled to act the way that they are when it’s pretty obvious all they need is to take some calm deep breaths and realize that the world doesn’t work the way they want it to; the world works what IT WANTS to: and that is NOT based on any one person or their so-called ideas of how the world should work

They nip at the hind quarters at cattle that get away from their herd. Heelers are super intelligent. So it didn’t surprise me that your Heeler was calmed around the other dogs so quickly. Nice work!

I have watched the Aussies train their herding dogs that work goats and sheep. They make a bit of sort that they had form from baling wire. It attaches at the collar and goes straight out from the collar in front of the muzzle, then is bent 90° to go across to the other side and bent again at 90° to go back and attached to the collar. At this point, it is not cut, but a similar configuration is made that rests comfortably in the dogs mouth, and then bent to attach to the original starting point. Think of a wire rectangle attached at a collar with a short rectangle that rests in the dogs mouth. When the dog goes to bite an animal, the outside portion of the bit hits first and pushes the portion in the mouth farther. It is a gorm of self-discipline that it made correctly does not injure the dog. The old timers training their working dogs realized that, like horses, dogs learn best with instant correction that the dog controls.

Fast training, find the issue and try to correct it properly and efficiently. Many of my friends who own dogs think I am too strict with Nilda, my pitt husky mix. I have been using your methods since she was 6 months old ( still working on callback-goes from great to horrible, squirrels don't help too much either. ) But I get compliments on how well she behaves in public and at home when we have company. Overall I hope that anybody who sees these videos and disapproves will take the time to research your training method. Sorry for the ramble, Thanks

Love these videos. Just been binge watching. I use to have a boarder collie, male, who loved other dogs. I socialized him so much with other dogs cause I never wanted to go through dog aggression. He was even behaved around in heat females. He was trained to work cattle. Great dog, but totally did not like other people, which was fine. I made him a large run so when we had people over he was in there, he was fine until they tried to pet him. He was great with me, my partner and my kid, but anyone else he just didn't want to know. He wouldn't lunge at people or go from them unless they came to him, or towards myself or my son, he would get protective. As I said, we did all we could to prevent him every biting someone. Sadly i had to put him down due to health issues which made him even agressive towards my son and partner, which was very sad. He got chronic arthritis by the time we was 10 due to being a working dog. Best bud ever, miss him dearly ♡

I grew up in Australia, with a cattle dog, on a cattle farm with 500 cattle.. Their skill around cattle, and the effectiveness of what is essentially a small to medium size dog, with 1200lb Cows and 2000lb Bulls is so impressive. The nip is the bread and butter for their job. Amazing how they dont get kicked in the head that much by the cattle, such is their speed. I saw one take on two fighting bulls, effectively got run over by one of the bulls.. took a moment, then back in there! Incredible to watch them in their element. Obviously don't want the nip around other dogs or people.. You did a great job So loyal as pets. my best friend from when I was 18 months old till 18 years old! Big Love, Go Bluey!

100% all of them! The owner/trainer is also a part of the pack and every pack correction is also a desensitization. It is amazing to see how quickly you can get results when you combine all those things and you know what you are doing. Thanks for this golden content

You will see this due to the Pandemic. I got a Cattle Dog pup right before the Pandemic started and we were semi quarantined for safety. This dog looks nervous without his owners. You did a great job and Prince is a Prince with how he teaches him too.I say you and the pups are 50/50. Like all life- no consequences for bad behavior leads to MORE bad behavior. Thanks, good video.

I used to have a german shepard she was a rescue and when i got her she kept nipping the back of my 3 year olds legs to get his food or snacks from him. I admitted that the dog needed more than i was able to give at the time but i was able to rehome her with a single man and he has trained her so well, 7 years on and he still has her and to be honest her whole attitude is night and day. I made the right decision and i don't regret taking her in the first place as i saved her from starvation and neglect and found her a good home.

I think 100% is Joel…..what I mean is whether it’s your corrections, Prince who is trained by Joel and told to stop when necessary, or your teaching to the owners……desensitized with dogs that you have to use, it’s still part of the training. So either way….it’s Joel and we love it
I think pack corrections was 50%- your correction and desensitization were each 25%. As a preschool teacher I had a kid who bit- a lot, often and nothing we did seemed to help. Finally he bit a smaller but tough girl who calmly bit him back- hard! That was the end of biting. That little girl was the “prince” of my classroom. Also she never once bit anyone else.
I had some people bully me when I was about 13. One guy went up to me at some point and just started staring in my face. So I slapped him. That particular guy never bothered me again.
I remember biting my mom... and then, she bite me. Up to this point, I kinda didn't understand it would hurt her if I did that, so that day I learned that other people feel pain too and they will react at some point if you try to hurt them. I was suuuuper young obviously so clearly it left a deep mark in my brain. Must be part of our animal bodies
.
Yes these lessons are transferrable. Honestly not much difference between a dog and your average kid under 7
Thats is very cute lol
Some of these reactive dogs are so bloody smart. They do understand correction/consequence. It just has to be consistent ALL THE TIME! Such a good demonstration of how to help these animals.
Blue heelers are the smartest out there but people want more submissive circus dogs like collies to called the smartest. But heelers not fucking around. They are more on the antisocial side genetically by dingoes they dont even like if you laughing at them because they freakin know you made a joke about them 😆 mine even know when I try to make a selfie with her. She hates it. I can make photos of her but selfies? Nope.
I had a cattle dog growing up. He wasn't a fan of other dogs, but it was never a problem because he listened. He was really intelligent.
Right and I’ve never met a dumb cattle dog lol
Oh snap….. LMAO
My Australia shepherd passed away mid covid, she was my best friend for 12 years. That dog went everywhere with me, and was only on leash about 1% of her entire life. I put a lot of effort into training her and she for the rest of her life was always attentive to my commands, even if she picked up food. I could say drop and instantly dropped it. Walked right beside me no leash, would run off into the woods on command, return on command. Sucks losing your best friend, but I’m grateful for the time I had with her.
I'm 65 yo now but 40 years ago...before internet, you tube..etc I was training dogs this exact way. I raised dobermans and did rescue ( was a vet tech then). People thought me crazy. Well I absolutely got results...instantly.( within a very short period of time). I understand how dogs work know about almost all breeds their purpose. So yes I agree 100%. It saddens me when people think dogs think like humans. Wonderful thing about dogs...they don't care what happened yesterday can not think what may happen tomorrow they live in the now. Hope you get what I'm saying. Anyways good work. Keep doing what/how your working.
They don’t care what happens yesterday? So why does getting attacked in the past completely change their behaviour.
Dogs learn differently than humans. They rely more on feelings, sounds, smells, and visual thoughts rather than verbal thoughts. Conditional reflexes are more important for them, and they form with repetition. Dogs don't care what happened yesterday; they care what happens every time they are in a situation. Unless it's a traumatic experience. That's a whole different way of learning. If a traumatic event does occur, it can cause learning that is instant, lasts for the rest of the dog's life and is very difficult to change. Dog interactions with Prince in these videos might sometimes get a tiny bit traumatic, but in a safe, ethical way without causing harm. Dog might remember "what happened yesterday" in these scenarios and the effects have a chance of lasting longer with less effort so that sounds great. However as a dog owner I have never thought of a good way to use traumatic experiences with training my dog. My conclusion after thinking about it for the last 7 years of owning a dog is that there is simply no practical, safe and ethical way to use trauma to train a dog at home(I am not even that morally against it, it's just not possible to create a situation where it would work). I don't ever want my dog to remember what happened yesterday. "Wonderful thing about dogs...they don't care what happened yesterday..." - That's the only situation you want.
@@Gazzaroo That was a cherry picked response. Brandi was a trainer, therefore he is relating his experience with training. Dogs appear to get over whatever trauma they experienced in the past, unlike humans whose memories can be like elephants.
@@Gazzaroo mostly because the human is living in the past.
My heeler completely 100% remembers what happened yesterday. And can see just about 1second into the future
One time, I knew someone with a very aggressive dog who just loved to drag the owner. I volunteered to walk it so they said ok. I let the dog know right away we were going to walk at my pace and every time he tried to sprint, I stopped, pulled his leash back, ignored him until I was ready to walk. At the end, he was walking beside me and not even looking at other dogs. When I took him back to his owner, they said I was too mean, that I should not have treated their dog so roughly. So I said ok, then walk him now. That dog took one look at their owner, gave a dog smirk and took off, knocking the owner down. The owner ended up giving it away, but at least that dog walked beside me one time. Some owners are just stupid, I hate to use the word.
No you’re right and you should say it. Don’t get a breed known for the need for proper desensitization and mental stimulation unless you know how to treat them. They aren’t easy.
A guy I know had a husky mix that dragged him everywhere. She was constantly pulling at the lead and barking. One day she got left with me for a few hours and I took her for a walk with my dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better behaved dog - she walked beside me, gave me her attention, didn’t bark once. Totally different dog. Basically, she knew she could get away with anything with her owner, but wasn’t sure about me, so she watched her manners.
@@anna9072 that’s what bothers me with bringing dogs to a trainer. Eventually they are back with their owner. Will the “trained” dog behave with owner? They are smart, they know the difference between a trainer and the owner.
@@irener.3849 yes, just taking a dog to someone to be trained is useless, the owner needs to be trained as much as the dog.
@@irener.3849 Well Beckman always has the trainers around and explains what he's doing. In reality, you can't just have somebody own your dog for you. They can provide correction and desensitization, and educate the owner on how to continue this. The dog will live for 15 years and yeah, one session isn't going to change the dog forever. But that's the case for just about anything in life. If you own a dog it's your responsibility. If you need help, get it, but it's still on you at the end of the day. What I've found is, most dog owners literally never correct their dog's behavior. They completely ignore bad behaviors and just pet the dog when they themselves need some emotional support. They don't snap, clap, or raise their voice at the dog and all they do is pamper the dog and let it run the house. Most dog owners, have absolutely zero clue how to own a dog.
It's so refreshing to see not just anyone, but a dog trainer who takes reactive dogs seriously!
We clearly didnt watch the same video he clearly has no experience with cattle dogs and the owner clearly.isnt capable they are a very specific breed as they have dingo in them
Americans with no idea with australian working dogs these dogs are known to not like strange dogs or humans
@@sw33tr1de4 I'm not american and I'm not talking about cattle dogs specifically. I'm talking about reactive dogs in general, based on my own experiences with them. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my original comment, I didn't mean to cause confusion.
im sorry ma"am but I take reactive shits every morning. That makes me over qualified for his job!
@@sw33tr1de4 Soooo you're basically saying : there's dingo in there, just let them get away with it. No chance of changing anything. Luckily your parents raised you, without knowing the monkey in you. Otherwise you would still throw shit around..
I own Heelers (Cattle dogs) as well. You are 100% correct with the methods you use. They are TOUGH and their corrections need to be firm and immediate. If they bite they bite hard and some wont let go until they are done shaking something. I LOVE this breed but they are bred to work and bred to NEED a good leader. Thanks for all your videos!!!
I have owned heelers since 1997. It's so easy to see when this heeler gets into his instinctive driving, heeling mode. The flat run and then the bite. It is imperative to socialize a heeler pup early and be firm. They are a tough dog, and strong willed. I believe they are a dog for a more experienced dog owner, as the Dingo base in them is still very much a part of their personality. My dogs were working dogs, so I learned early about socializing them as puppies. My first, most dominant heeler, wouldn't heel another dog or most people, but he had heeled two people he perceived as a threat. Both were a light nip. He did work cattle and goats. and would treat an adult goat much differently than a kid goat. I also had horses and an old pony who taught him to leave horses alone.
All herding dogs are very fear aggressive. They were bred by humans to bite and bite to kill. They either dominate others completely to become less fearful. Or they will have to "learn" to let go their dominance and still feel safe by making friends or by practicing mutual tolerance. My Aussie mix (with super dominance behavior) fought with my old dog twice. It was scary. After the second fight, I said "enough is enough". I grabbed them both into the bathroom for the final stand off. I yelled at them severely. I made sure they would never fight again. They were never friends, but they learned how to tolerate each other. There was never a third fight before my old dog passed away two years ago. Older dogs are more difficult to make new friends. I adopted my Aussie when she was 2. My old dog never had a problem with other dogs. But older dogs can still learn to tolerate and survive peacefully with each other, just like humans.
@@trumplostlol3007 Nope, they were bred to bite, definitely not to kill. A rancher would be very pissed if his dogs killed his livestock.
@@jeffk464 My Aussie girl was super fear aggressive when she first came. You don't know what "fear" means until you see her behavior. She was 2 years old when I adopted her and I suppose she was never socialized with either humans or dogs. She fought my old dog twice. They were trying to kill each other. Have you seen dog fights before? There were no warning signs. And everything happened in a split of a second. After the second fight, I grabbed both dogs into the bathroom and warned them seriously. There was no third fight ever after. They were never friends. But they managed to live in peace without greeting each other or fighting each other. My old dog passed away because of cancer. My Aussie girl is still learning to be less fearful of the environment and she became submissive to me, but still not totally, especially when she becomes fearful in the dark outside of the house,
Prince is such a handsome boy - also watching him correct this dog is amazing.
desensitization did about 15% towards the end, 5% was prince backing him up. But 80% was the leash corrections. He broke focus for the very first time after your harder leash pops. He seemed to get calmer after that
I agree. By the time the other dogs came, he knew what good behavior was.
It was too nutty😂
agree leash corrections had the most effect ... continued healthy socialization is key going forward ... the process was the right way .... he picked up very quickly ACD's are very intelligent but require an experienced owner that knows how to train them properly
Yes! Leash pops.
One good correction is worth a thousands nags.
I have a cattle dog who has always been very sensitive and timid and submissive. She doesn't go after other dogs like this one but gets equally overwhelmed. She's naturally more confident with dogs who show they have little interest in her. But dogs who are pushy and keep trying to play even though she is trying to retreat and deescalate the situation, tend to push her towards being snappy. She's never bitten. But air snaps. I don't see it as inappropriate on her part, I see it as the other dog being rude and not listening to her attempts to say "no". I wish there was a program like yours near me that I could have my cattle dog interact with well socialized, polite dogs, to gain confidence around other dogs. Its so hard to find a good match for my timid, sensitive cattle dog.
This is my dog! She’s a Romanian Rescue & very sensitive. She only likes dogs with manners & wont hold back if the other dog isn’t polite. She can be very submissive & feels overwhelmed if the other dog is not listening.
I've got a cattledog aswell who's super socialized and extremely calm, we've taught him to just sit and let the other dog do all the initial interaction and then when they lose some of the initial hype then we introduce him on his own terms
@@ConReese a calm temperament definitely helps. Our goal with socializing our cattle dog has been to observe first and wait to interact once she has those jitters out like you said. But she is still who she is and is pretty cautious and submissive. Hoping with more exposure and maturity, she will gain confidence and neutrality. She's already doing so so so much better on walks seeing other dogs. She used to be pretty reactive but we've been able to work through it and now she is able to stay calm and quiet when we see other dogs on our walk. Hoping that eventually translates to closer dog to dog interactions
@@KellysGarden how old is she? We brought ours to the local dog park to expose him to that environment like maybe 3 times and that seems to have done wonders
@@ConReese she is 1 year. We tried bringing her to the dog park various times. But she is so easily intimidated and overwhelmed By other dogs and you never know the other personalities that are going to be there. She ended up getting chased by a Shepard mix and it scared her so bad that she was afraid of the car for months after that. It took 4-6 months of training and positive experiences with the car for her to hop in willingly after that one bad experience at the dog park. She is a sensitive gal and we can't take our chances in such an unpredictable environment anymore
70% leash correction 25% Prince showing him there is a more confident and stronger dog than him 5% desensitized He was leash reactive. Once he realized the leash was working against him instead of being something that emboldened him he realized he needed to be careful. In addition, Prince’s aloofness and confidence throws dogs off. They attack and posture and Prince doesn’t care. What an awesome dog Prince is.
Totally wrong here in terms of the corrections.
Did you just say Doberman is stronger than a heeler? 😂
I have 3 males. From you, I've learn so much, and you know why?! Because, you showed and teached me, that, some dogs are assholes, and since I've watched your videos, I've applied your techniques, well, works amazing! Can't thank you enough. We appreciate your work. You guys, keep healthy and take care! Love from Romania.
You are so right that "we have gotten too soft" and "dogs don't kill other dogs because their owner is the boss of the house" I used to be a dog groomer and I got out of that profession because I could not reason with the people that babied their dogs. And there were a lot. Guess what dogs tried/ did bite me? Yup, the babied dogs. I had a labrador nail me in the hand, I could not work for a month and had to be on antibiotics. I have 2 dobermans and they have always been fabulous. Everyone that meets my dogs are in awe that they listen! Why? Because I don't take their shit! They only get praise when they are being good/calm and they were corrected when appropriate. Now I rarely have to give them corrections. They are happy, confident, affectionate, gentle and very loyal.
Snowflakes never make for good parents or pet owners... Eventually uneducated childs and dogs go into society and become a threat both for themselves and for others.
sadly it's often "baby dog" owners who usually come to groomers... My pittie girl hates baths and water, but knows when it's bath time it's bath time, she'll even jump in the bathtube by herself (very unhappy from what's about to happen but will anyway x) ) Wish more people who get dogs actually train their dogs... I used to hear some dogs barking and owner would just say to ther dog like "oh don't yell at that person, that's rude!" in a tone you'd say to a baby... like bruh, it's a dog, it won't get human speech, sure they can get voice commands and understand some words, but a whole ass sentace like that? Yeah nah
I'd say that sometimes dogs biting kids can be the kids fault because there are people who baby their kids and let them do whatever
There is a line between discipline and abuse. My boyfriend is too gentle with our new dog, so when the go on walks she's all over the place. When I take her? She stays in front of me with the leash slack. Any pulling gets an immediate correction. That's... About the extent of her problems tho. Idk how but this street dog is the most polite giant lapdog ive ever met. German shepherd mix.

Ah I'm so glad you did a blue heeler!! I've had heelers and Aussies my whole life and while heelers are my favorite dogs, they REQUIRE a consistent firm expectation of rules. They will always try to be in control of the situation. They're an absolute goldmine when it comes to teaching them commands, teaching them friend from foe, etc. I can ALWAYS tell when my new heelers get it into their head that another dog is 'herdable' and it's instantly corrected. They thrive on praise, the learn quick from consistent corrections. Awesome job sir. Love this.
Thank you working with a cattle dog. I have had several and worked through a variety of issues over the years. It is great to give these dogs an opportunity to socialize with bigger well socialized dogs in a controlled setting and build in steps. Wish there were more Princes out there!
I would love a series dedicated to how you raise YOUR dogs. Like a year long series (if you got a new pup). We always see you work with "bad" dogs, I would be cool to see some training. I also think it would silence the critics who don't think your methods work.
so true
I like how he suddenly expected to be corrected or corrects himself after he snaps at the Bernese puppy...25mins in... i think you're talking to the owners but he suddenly snaps then goes submissive instantly and looks at you as he knew he shouldn't have. That wouldn't have occured earlier! Great!
Love the way the Bermese wacks him with his tail!
That was amazing training advise, I absolutely think that with the leash and introducing dog was the big thing, but the biggest thing to learn was that he can't nip no more!
" correcting the intent" 👍. Very good point. That really hit home. I'm a first time cattle dog owner, he is 8 months old now. That logic has made a huge difference in his behavior.
I picked up on that as well. A lot of this is just basic training and introductions and not necessarily anything special BUT I did like all the elements shown together in a short time. I think your point will be the thing I will remember to be more vigilant to observe in the future.
These videos are more interesting than 90% of media on TV.
The way he responded to the leash corrections, you could see his “bad” behavior was in response to owner error early on. As soon as you started correcting him, he started looking to you for feedback. Prince was great in backing him as well. When off leash, his tail clamped and he didn’t know how to respond. That was a great video.
I have a one year old cattle dog who just started herding (and biting the back leg of dogs). This session was so insightful!!!! Thank you. Desensitization - 35% Corrections - 45% Dog correction - 25%
Cattle dog. Smart, fast, easily trained, stubborn, independent, and BRUTAL sometimes. Levi is our first cattle dog. A 35lb mini heeler that can bring a level of nasty that none of my previous dogs could or would bring to the table. He was fine until 1yr. Then it became apparent how different they are. I’ve trained this guy for basic obedience and he is Johnny on the spot with recall and general obedience. But other dogs is my bugaboo. I’m gonna get a muzzle and get back to work with this issue. Like him, I get nerved up around other dogs because I know how he’s gonna act. It’s unsafe and embarrassing. Thanks for the insight.
My latest is a mini heeler, and having had full registered ACDs before, I have my doubts about mini heelers and the breeding. I regret that I got a mini, but I am just as much in love with him and committedto him. Mine is not reactive aggressively, just so very socially awkward, he brings out aggression in other dogs. Rule of thumb with heelers: They take 6-7 years to get out of the "young and stupid" phase. Keep working and try find yours a job. It makes a huge difference.
I'm Australian and I know cattle dogs. within 30 seconds of the start of this video I knew that he was fine and able to be rehabilitated. In fact, he looks like a great gog and I'll take him.

Gr8 job! I've never had a dog this easy to teach. She almost goes with me everywhere. I really do see the cattle dog in her.
I have two dogs one almost 5 and one just turned 4, I only just learned that socialize doesn't mean play with other dogs it just means be near them, sniffing for a second or two and then hanging out. I thought I socialized my dogs by taking them to the dog park and what not and had no idea that's not socializing. I am so glad I learned this from you Joel and other dog trainers and I learn so many things from you guys each and every day. Thank you so much for your knowledge and experiences and for sharing them❤❤❤❤
80% your two hard corrections just after the second collar slip. 20 % the cattle dog going " I'm tough" and Prince going " No you aren't" over and over. He got that and backed down. He immediately started looking for you after the corrections. Very shortly after he started trusting you enough to approach Prince calmly. 12 month old with fear periods just behind him doesn't help. But he's clever. He'll learn really fast.
Agree totally. The change really happened after the serious leash corrections. No more barking or lunging, no more frenetic pacing and movement.
Prince ain’t tough bruh lol so stop being over Dramatic. Prince would’ve gotten clapped
@@Zombina638 you sound like a twelve year old
My husband brought home a cute blue heeler at 6 weeks. She was a terror as a puppy beyond the ACD heel nipping. She would listen to my husband and adored him but would basically give me the middle finger at any command. Some of the major things I realized is if they do not have respect for you and see you as their master in the home you will have zero control outside the home. I had to do some major changes in the home and I never backed down from her aggression. She now is in the correct pecking order and is a very sweet girl who listens well and watches over the kids. Also they get hyper focused and are very reactive by nature. I would love to see training on how to teach them to leave small animals alone.
Yes, Blue heelers are not like other dogs that will listen to anyone, they need to be shown who is boss.
@@barnacles1804 I saw an interview about their breeding once and being independent was something they were looking for so they could work cattle further from their handler. The old bloke was saying that they think they get it from the dingo.
Most people never understand what you did and want to blame the dog. I’ve had a lot of dogs in my 58 years from beagles to bull mastiffs and it doesn’t matter the breed. If you don’t get them to respect your position in the pack you’re going to lose your position in the pack.
This for some reason reminded me of those people you see getting aggressive and getting their friends or other people to hold them back, but when their friends let them go, they end up doing nothing. They act all big and tough when someone is there to hold them back, they're on the leash, but as soon as they are let free, it becomes clear that they're all bark and no bite.
The pack correction was definitely a turning point for this good boy
thanks for this video. I wanted to say that I applied your "I see it" method for Prince barking at squirrels, to my standard poodle barking at my kids in the pool. Even though I was in the pool with my kids, my dog was still clearly worried about the kids safety and was trying to alert me that the kids were flailing around - they weren't in danger, but I can see how kids learning to swim and playing looks like that to a dog! It only took two pool play sessions doing your method to have no more barking, etc. Now he just looks at them, looks at me, I acknowledge, we move on. I don't think I've ever commented on a YT video, lol. but I just had to say this, even though I know it's not the topic of this video :).

In Australia cattle are bred and grazed more or less "in the wild" - the cattle are pretty wild, especially the big Brahman breeds used in the tropics. The cattle Dog has been bred to stand up to not only single cattle but herds of big wild beasts. They are bred to be belligerent and self assured. 'Heeling' is nipping at cattle hooves to chivvy them along - this breed is called a Blue Heeler in Australia.
He called this dog an Australian Shepard….. he’s a great trainer tho and I love his Doberman dog !! I have just keep my cattle occupied 100 percent of the time when she is around other dogs . I raised her with a lab mix .. they are good with each other . I have a 16 year old cattle dog mixed / Sheba inu .. amazing dog . He established respect with my Cattle dog when she was a puppy at 5 months old .. I rescued her as she was returned to the breeder .. I love the part when the mountain dog waves it’s tail in the cattle dogs face !!! So adorable!! Play toy !!! I have to make sure everyone has their own toy or someone is going to get bit …
Exactly. When the kids wouldn't come in for dinner I sent our bluey out to bring them in! Great times lol
I own a Blue Heeler, Kate is very active but also very intelligent, They are working dogs, she’ll dig ditches, herd my chickens, but never has she tried to nip anyone.. I’ve never had any problems with her, If she is bored she will chew.I wouldn’t trade her for any other dog. When I call her she comes straight to me, no problems very sweet natured.
@@lorilayton2223 this dog is not an aussie shepherd, he is an Australian cattle dog
@@katk7505 exactly what I said 😂aussies are not from Australia . Australian Cattle dogs are . And our beloved dog trainer UTube . I adore him and his dog .. accidentally called my cattle dog an Australian Shepard ! That’s like calling a Maligator a German Shepard .
Prince is very well named. What a fantastic dog and a true reflection of the excellent training he has received.
I have an Australian Cattle Dog mix, and really love him. He is not aggressive, but is territorial and responds well to corrections. He was not well socialized when I took him in and was afraid of a lot of normal things and loud noises. However, I worked with him a lot and walked him daily and he has calmed down a lot. He loves to train and loves his walks.
One thing you did a lot but didn’t mention the importance to the training was advocating for Kylo and showing him that you were in control of the situation when it came to the other dogs. Multiple times you told the other dogs to back off, and I found when I was socializing my dog that was huge for her. If another dog came in a little hot, then I got between and told them off - so many fearful and unsocialized dogs get defensive, but him knowing he could come to you if he was overwhelmed helps him make good decisions. When another dog started something with mine, or my dog gave warnings that another dog ignored, I always made sure to be her backup and take her side as much as is appropriate. That way she knew that if I was there, she could defer to me when things get crazy.
I was laughing hysterically when around 15:28 you were talking about having sayings on shirts “We’re over it” or “I can do this all day” because I was literally saying these sayings to my dog when I was doing stops and zig zagging in the streets to work on him wanting to lead; he’s got the loose leash going pretty good but he always want to lead. I said “I can do this all day and night as Idon’t have any place to be until tomorrow night.” And then voila! You’re talking a bout making shirts! I want the “I can do this all day.” That’s my favorite saying!
I worked super hard with my cattle dog as a puppy and she’s awesome now with any dogs. The positive experiences this cattle dog is having with other dogs around is what’s helping big time. Corrections, praise, and positive experiences. Pack corrections can be dangerous and people shouldn’t do that without a trained dog to do the corrections.
My cattle dog was doing so well until a large German shepherd targeted him when he was young. Now he’s a monster around other dogs
This is my dog. She is about 6-7 yr. old rescue heeler. I have had her about 3 months now. She hates other dogs and bicycles. She is generally good with people once she meets them. She doesn't play with toys or respond well to treats when training. She just goes savage. This video helped me learn, but she needs socialization. Her own Prince charming.
40% handler correction, 30% Prince, 30% desensitization. Love these video. Keep them coming
I’m retired but worked with a lot of dogs like this. Same methods, pretty much. I’d say your corrections had the highest effect with this dog, based on how he was constantly checking in with you afterwards. And accepting what you told him. Prince gave him something to think about…his experience previously was being attacked (which Prince wasn’t doing) or attacking first (which you clearly told him was not acceptable) Desensitisation a little bit. He is learning impulse control over instinct, which in a way I find somewhat sad as he has been bred to do a job, be that way, then put in a situation with no job. But he is where he is, and you give him his best chance of success. I had so many dogs in on their last chance, but no one had actually very clearly told them ‘no’. You do what they need, if it’s that or death. Edit: I wrote before hearing what you thought on percentages. I agree with what you said, and especially on Princes interaction. That definitely threw a switch. But I still favour the corrections as a higher percentage, due to his immediately looking to you for guidance after. Not all dogs do that. I think it gave him confidence knowing you were in charge of the situation, allowed him to rethink, reset, and as you say, it stuck. It can be that fast! Great job.
T bob b we was q
What methods do you personally find most effective?

Cattle dogs naturally check in non stop. That is how they operate herding, mainly visual commands and clues. Why I love them, if you are aware they watch everything, with their superior recall, consistent action on your part will quickly yield results.
I live in Australia and have owned and bred cattle dogs for over 40 year's and I must say how refreshing it is to see a trainer treat an ACD properly and with conviction . I love this breed completely but they for sure aren't for everyone and shouldn't be. Props for catching the intent to nip so quickly cause wow are they fast. So many people let them herd their kids etc and set them up for failure right from the get go. This little guy is a really nice dog. Agree with your breakdown of % Everything worked in tandem .
I, too, have owned ACDs for almost 30 years. Watching the heeler get low is the first thing we see when they are getting ready to heel. I agree, catching that early really helps. I also agree, they are not for everyone. My Aussie friend told me that many times a heeler wasn't put on cattle until they were 7 years old.
@@dakotalandandcattle I'm sad that people get dog's that they see being awesome , working dog's generally and then the behavioral issues start because of an inability to handle the dog properly . The people get frustrated and the dog ends up dead or at the pound. Do you work your dog's?
I can’t believe this type of dog training content is free
At a year and a 1/2 my Rotti started to be a touch reactive w some dogs. I used your technique and it helped. One day I got the PERFECT POP and it just shut her down and she’s been really great so far. It’s amazing how well the leash correction really works; if you get the right correction at the right time it’s like having an off switch in your pocket.
My parents always had multiple dogs...5, 7, 9 not abnormal at all. We lived in the country and "strays" would end up at our place all the time. Most couldn't be rehomed the way they were and if they went to the shelter many would have been put down. All most all the bigger aggressive dogs all it would take was one of the older bigger dogs to call them on their attitude, some time little bits of blood was drawn. But they became best buds and alot easier to help get good homes after. Dad said it was like being in a wolf pack. There was an alpha male and female and they kept control of the pack and taught the younger ones to become social in the pack. They never let attacks really happen but...sometimes before we got the dog really to us they would push to hard.. the older dogs always seem to know when to stop. It was weird seeing them later still "correcting the attude" usually all it took was a look and a low growl. Ya know the look like mom gives when you are in public ya same look. Enjoying these very much.
I'm a trainer and work at a doggy daycare. My girlfriend a few months ago rescued a 5 year old, lifetime neighborhood stray pitty. She doesn't respect or understand humans as authority figures (she does now, but it took a while), doesn't give a F about treats when she's outside, doesn't listen to commands when stimulus is present, and has never been exposed to people or dogs in a positive way. We spent about 6 full twelve hour days slowly exposing her to dogs - using mostly my corrections, very similar to the brother and sister bullys that you've been working with. She had the slowest progress and was getting very frustrating to work with - due to the fact that she simply didn't respond to corrections (since she didn't ever see humans as any form of authority). It was the first issue I've EVER had with reactive dogs completely ignoring me. No check in's after corrections, no eye contact with humans (or fear/avoidance) - she simply didn't care that we existed. One day I decided to bring my big mama 130 lbs English mastiff in to meet her, and I Kept the muzzle on her(pitty) for safety, but let her free roam. My Big girl corrected her twice - a little differently than Prince backing him up - but ever since then, she truly realized her behavior was unacceptable. Since that day, she has now been with LITERALLY hundreds, if not just over a thousand different dogs and hasn't had a single other incidence. I think the percentage is very different for each dog considering the circumstances. For my girlfriends pitty, I'd say it was roughly 15% desensitization, 75% dog on dog correction, and 10% my corrections. For most dogs and this dog, I think rather than an even 1/3 split, the corrections were around 40%, prince 20%, and desensitization 40%. It seems like this was a very under socialized dog, so i think the desensitization is a bit of a bigger part (since he hardly knew what to do around other dogs), and the corrections were a bit more important because before this - it seems like he hadnt ever had a real "proper" correction for bad behavior. Lastly - funny story - You said "cattle dogs bite pretty hard". I KNOW *cry*. My very first day working at a doggy daycare, no one mentioned to me that a cattle dog was terrified of new people. I had my back turned and she bit my ankle and broke skin THROUGH leather cowboy boots AND jeans - then left purple and black bruise for about 2 weeks lol. We never became friends because the family moved shortly after - but I wont ever forget her
I agree completely. I train reactive dogs and give collar corrections and praise at the exact right time and it resolves the issues really fast. Within 30-45 minutes of working with them they come good. I've learnt a lot from you and other balanced trainers. Your corrections did most of the work here but Prince's correction gave the cattle dog a bit of respect for other dogs. Great video and shows it step by step. 👍
For the people interested in body language: This is a prime example of why tail wags are not always good. Look at all the times he's wagging. The tail is stiff and high. It's not a fluent motion from the waist to the tail end. It's like a mop that has dried up.
Yea i think the only thing you can read from tail wag is excitement / energy, that can be good and bad
@@darken3150 No, there are different wags that mean different things. Stiff is bad, fluent is happy. After he meets the puppy he starts to wag in a happy way.
It’s exactly like how humans can tend to smile or laugh when uncomfortable.
I really love the fact that you point to the body language in your video's. They are sometimes so subtle that it's hard to see with an untrained eye.
It is really amazing how base and primal the language it is. The flick of an eye, the twitch of a nose, the stance, all conveying messages effortlessly.
Unreal, a completely different dog in a few hours. I've never seen anything like that, amazing work!
Prince is such a clever and reasonable dog! Love that you use him for helping other dogs
I had an Australian Blue Heeler for 10 years, and he was such an amazing dog. He was super smart and didn't have a mean bone in his body. I literally couldn't have asked for a better dog. And despite him being a little hyper (cattle dogs are just an active breed), he was SOOOOOOOO gentle.
My uncle got one a little while back. They are so cute, but they seem to need so much stimulation. I am thinking a big problem might be just the dog acting out because of not having enough to do... Running around with all these dogs for an hour might have helped in that way too.
Hyper dogs are fine as long as they are well socialised.
@@CainXVIIThey're working dogs and need more to do than run around for an hour. On cattle stations, they work all day moving the cattle, which is what they're bred to do. They're extremely smart but can be difficult if bored, so being a backyard pet isn't the best for them.
@taniahabib2275 Agree, and I believe this is why there are so many in shelters. They should come with a warning, and they are not for a passive owner.
I'm a dog trainer who uses similar methods and I have very similar opinions and mindset. I believe that a fair percentage of effect came from the praise too. The praise guided the dog in what was ok, rather than just focusing on the mistakes.
50/50 TEAM WORK YOU AND PRINCE ARE GREAT YOUR VIDS HAS HELPED ME MORE ON BETTER INTERACTION
This dog was so receptive and attentive to the corrections. He already naturally checks in with humans. With the human giving very clear instructions of whats allowed and what isn't, he got it. 75% correction 25% Prince. Price was an important component. Having this first with Prince was golden. The dog immediately, turned to humans, went to owner for back up. Had to turn to trainer for guidance. Trainer providing clear guidance.
This was a good breed to showcase your skills vs a dog breed's natural bred behavior that is out of control. Thanks Joel for explaining those breed tendencies
"natural bred behaviour that is out of control?". You clearly don't have a clue about what your talking about, don't own a dog(let alone a Heeler)or were heavily medicated as a child.
@@stevewitte2501 instead of insulting and making assumptions, how about explaining what you don't agree with or feel is incorrect about my statement. maybe i will learn something, maybe i will agree.
@@stevewitte2501 Goooood Anakin
I assume the natural breed behavior you’re talking about is the hard heel nips? To which, I would agree with your statement. Heelers were bred to act a certain way and it takes good training to correct it. Luckily, most heelers are also highly intelligent, people pleasers (which makes sense as a working/herding breed).
I love how Prince trusts you when you were scritching his head ❤️
It really seems like your leash technique is what set this dog straight, but it is completely a balancing act between dogs on dog and your directions and corrections. what a smart and agile guy. I had a doberman rot mix as a kid and man that was a great dog, but I am overwhelmed by Prince, what a good boy! Now I have a little chihuahua dachshund mix that is a rescue. He is not really very good with other dogs, but slowly getting better. He still growls if my lady and I kiss each other, but he is the sweetest lover ever.
That Prince is amazing! Love watching him!
If I were you, I would be so freaking proud of myself!! You’re really exceptional at what you’re doing!!! There were many amazing moments in this video, my favorite one was at 28:52 ❣️ the formerly unsocialized, angry dog being so tender and almost clumsy with the big pup!! Your corrections 40 or even 50%, pack work and desensitization equally important I would say.
hahah i love seeing prince bow up on a dog like " oh yeah? you wanna bark at me in my home? i just wanted to be friends but if you wanna go...." he moves with such purpose its like the only job prince could do is what hes doing
Prince wouldve gotten clapped so no.
I bet this dog went home thinking this was the happiest best day of his life.
This is so interesting! I have been working with a cattle dog who is intermittently aggressive toward smaller dogs for no visible reason. I spent many walks with him praising for "leaving it" and giving a harsh verbal reprimand for lunging. I don't reward with treats because it felt better to use my tone so I'm glad to hear Beckman say the same. The other day I corrected his lunge/bark at a dog who, in fairness, did bark/lunge at him, but a few moments later he was ABOUT to lunge at a neighborhood cat. He got out ONE second of a growl before I corrected him verbally and I swear he looked at me, like: "That was BAD, right? I shouldn't do that. Okay, I won't..." It was very cute and quite satisfying too. His owner says he attacks small dogs, but I had him walking in a pack with his "cousin" who he is submissive to, and two little terriers and he was amazing!
I have been training dogs this way for years. It is wonderful to see another trainer who takes reactive unsocialized dogs and helps them to become the dog that they can be. I have a saying in my business that "A busy dog is a happy dog." What I mean is that the brain has to be engaged in more than the puppy mindset. I teach my dogs to make decisions that help them to become more mature in their brains. I take reactive dogs and teach them that their triggers are no big deal. Thank you for helping the dogs.
I'm into dogs my whole life and recently started to work with them and helping people for experience and fun and I must say for behavior training I ONLY use your methods and they work so quick and they're so easy to use. I tought a friends husky loose leash walking in under 3min although other "professional" trainers told her she would never be able to walk loose leash. Thank you so much for sharing your knowlege!
You mention verbal praise as on roughly the same level as a treat, but I personally think verbal praise is much more effective because it shows approval from the person the dog trusts. If a dog does something undesirable they get corrected, or reprimanded, usually the next thing the dog will do is "apologize" by rubbing on you, or getting close so you know it knows it screwed up. All it wants during this exchange is approval. At least in the instance the dog respects, and values it's parent. I love all animals, but I raise 3 cats, and all of my cats are very well behaved. They all know their names, and I talk to them as fellow human family members. One thing I really dislike is when people fail to realize that the animals in our care are legitimate family members. Not "like" family, they ARE family. To the animal you are the pack alpha, and there's no distinction between species. I love your work because there have been numerous cases I've seen where had those dogs not come to you they'd be at risk of being put down over an attack, or even a parent who has reached the end of the line. Thank you!
I think that any dog on leash and/or muzzle around dogs off leash recognizes that he is vulnerable - can’t run away, can’t defend by biting. Personally, I think the cattle dog learned a very valuable lesson when Prince backed him down, but didn’t aggress. Again Prince modeled good manners for him and he learned from that. An important part of the desensitization and socialization process was the other dogs modeling friendly neutral behavior. I give Prince and the other dogs 50-55%, and the human interaction, both positive and corrective 45-50%. He learned what was expected on leash , learned he was safe (even muzzled and on leash), and then had the opportunity to put his new lessons to practice off leash. It was a good day for this Heeler!
I found it interesting that when he ran away he ran straight to his family.
60% your correction , 30% prince and 10% desensitization
Agree!
I am not a dog trainer by trade but I have had dogs all my life and I have always trained the one I get with the one I have I start with good qualities and then the ones I bring in get adjusted by them and you're right we work together my older dog and me I have always found it to be the best most reliable way to teach that dog without any harm to the dog and without confusing him because then he understands without confusing messages
This was wonderful to see! Kudos to Beckman and to the cattle dog and his family!! Great work!
All equally essential imo, leash corrections and desensitization were what helped him, but the interaction with Prince needed to happen to figure him out and set the tone. All good for this dog. Definitely life changing!
Very cool video. It was cute to see the puppy go behind the Blue Heeler and look over his shoulder over and over. I think the fact that Blue Heelers are smart really helped here. This Blue Heeler seemed to recognize that the puppy was of no threat, and was much more concerned about the bigger dogs. That's why I think he had an issue with Zoey, who kept following and is a really big dog. That's quite the threat, even though Zoey wasn't being threatening. This dog clearly loves people, though, because when you talked to him or he looked at you he'd calm down a lot. He has lots of poise, too, to go from being so overwhelmed to being able to get back on track. Your %'s seem pretty accurate to me.
100% Prince, 100% to the guy who trained prince. Prince did 90% of the work, but who did all the work on Prince in the first place? Great team work.
Awesome… yes, slow is Not always the way to go. Nice work Joel - wish there were more professionals on KZhead showing what really helps dogs return to their natural instincts via consequences
I always learn something new from your video. Great video. I’m AMAZED when the owner takes the leash and no regression. I’ve NEVER seen that. You are the best. The percentage- 💯 percent your timing on the leash corrections. Thank you for this video
This was really helpful. I used a similar technique with my 6 month old female German Shepherd and saw immediate changes in behavior. She gets really aggressive towards other dogs that are nearby when she is on the leash, she is well behaved off leash at the dog park and is submissive around older and larger dogs. The use of exposure, immediate corrections, and praise have been helping immensely. We have more work to do for sure and really appreciate your videos. Thank you!
These videos are so interesting, I love seeing you utilize your own puppy to teach other puppers how to behave socially with other pooches. Love it, please keep helping the dogs live their best lives!
"with dogs or children, certain behaviours cannot be tolerated" amen to that statement. Good parents will teach their loved ones what is ok and what is not ok in a healthy/functional society!
I think your comment is 100% accurate.
And I’m gonna go off topic but I’ve had a woman come into the store that I work at one time with her kids. well the stuff that I was selling has alcohol in it. Her kids want to play in the alcohol when I politely told the kids please don’t play with that - the mother came over and yelled at me and told me I cannot tell her kids what to do so what I did was I told the woman that I would not sell her ANYTHING if she doesn’t listen to the store policy rules. She then claimed that I had to sell her her groceries,But I told her if you’re not gonna listen to the stores rules then I’m not telling you your groceries and you can leave she didn’t want to listen to me so she went to one of my bosses and tried to say that I refuse to sell her her supplies; after she complained to my boss, my boss came over to me and asked me for my side of the story. Well I was trying to tell my boss my side of the story the lady kept trying to interject but my boss didn’t want anything to do with it and told her calmly to be quiet. When I finally managed to tell my boss a true story, the lady became upset. The lady then tried to fib and say that they weren’t doing anything of the sort my boss knew better and decided to tell the lady that they were gonna look at the cameras. The lady was about to open her mouth when my boss told her to keep her mouth shut until they came back with the truth of the matter. Shortly after my boss came back and told me that I had done a good job. The lady just about threw a fit when she heard that; my boss turned around and looked at her and told her,” if your kids aren’t going to stay out of the alcohol when they’re obviously under 21 years of age we can kick you out of the store and ban you permanently from ever entering ever again.” The lady got all huffy and decide to leave without paying for any of her stuff and left her stuff there in front of my register. I wish one of these days that I can come across more honest kind and patient people and not rude and arrogant people who think they’re entitled to act the way that they are when it’s pretty obvious all they need is to take some calm deep breaths and realize that the world doesn’t work the way they want it to; the world works what IT WANTS to: and that is NOT based on any one person or their so-called ideas of how the world should work
@@ShadowGuardian_32 what a story thank you for sharing. I can tell this had a profound impact on you and I totally hear you and see the faults in the situation. You are right to have tried to teach those kids. A common native American practice was that there was no single parent, but rather the entire community was a parent to the child. This practice has been lost for very sad reasons but should not be forgotten and in fact should be revisited. The world is our family, when I see a stranger I don't see a stranger. I see a brother, I see a sister, I see a mother a father a loved one. What that woman failed to see was that your intentions were out of care. Unfortunately, that woman was failed by her parents and seemed to have never grown up herself. Don't be disheartened by her actions. Have faith in knowing that one day the light will shine and penetrate the all darkness and fill the hearts of the world with love.
Truly you have a gift for this. Each part helped and no dog is a bad dog. ACDs tend to herd and nip, great to see you "nip" it in the bud. Keep up the great work. 💖💪
Prince is such an amazing dog. He puts other dogs in their place like it’s his job.
I gotta give this session an easy 200% because I see Prince being an excellent entry level to the most relaxed yet dominant companion for helping troubled dogs. Like the desensitization process, the corrections, and being backed into a corner made it clear to him despite it took time but he took great bounds over time in this video. Anyone else agree?
I love your videos so much. You're so clear and concise with your explanations. I look forward to every time you upload. Thank you for being a very special person
The willpower inherent to Cattle Dogs is amazing; they have to be tenacious to drive Cattle. I laughed when I saw the dog look at Joel after the correction, assess the situation, then take a shot at biting Prince on the ass again. The dog definitely considered the corrections strongly though. I think 50% Joel’s corrections, 30% socialization, and 20% correction from the other dog. Mostly think this is the breakdown because Cattle Dogs tend to be handler centric. They will absolutely push the limits if you let them. I refer to mine as a “Pointy-eared Cattle Demon” for a reason…
“...Pointy-eared Cattle Demon...” 😂😂😂
That part at 4:30 with Prince making him retreat, I was so impressed by Prince stance, that was amazing
Prince is an amazing boy!
I have a Blue Heeler, aka Australian Cattle Dog. For this reason with your Heeler, I’ve always had my Heeler around other dogs and he loves every dog that welcomes him. He’s 8 years old and the ONLY thing I can’t control, is his nipping. It’s apparently an instinct Heelers have from herding cattle. They nip at the hind quarters at cattle that get away from their herd. Heelers are super intelligent. So it didn’t surprise me that your Heeler was calmed around the other dogs so quickly. Nice work!
I have watched the Aussies train their herding dogs that work goats and sheep. They make a bit of sort that they had form from baling wire. It attaches at the collar and goes straight out from the collar in front of the muzzle, then is bent 90° to go across to the other side and bent again at 90° to go back and attached to the collar. At this point, it is not cut, but a similar configuration is made that rests comfortably in the dogs mouth, and then bent to attach to the original starting point. Think of a wire rectangle attached at a collar with a short rectangle that rests in the dogs mouth. When the dog goes to bite an animal, the outside portion of the bit hits first and pushes the portion in the mouth farther. It is a gorm of self-discipline that it made correctly does not injure the dog. The old timers training their working dogs realized that, like horses, dogs learn best with instant correction that the dog controls.
If I've never seen any of your videos, I would have thought you were being abusive and cruel. But knowing who you are and how you train dogs made this video a great one. Fast training, find the issue and try to correct it properly and efficiently. Many of my friends who own dogs think I am too strict with Nilda, my pitt husky mix. I have been using your methods since she was 6 months old ( still working on callback-goes from great to horrible, squirrels don't help too much either. ) But I get compliments on how well she behaves in public and at home when we have company. Overall I hope that anybody who sees these videos and disapproves will take the time to research your training method. Sorry for the ramble, Thanks
That's not rambling-that's the truth! 🌟
Love these videos. Just been binge watching. I use to have a boarder collie, male, who loved other dogs. I socialized him so much with other dogs cause I never wanted to go through dog aggression. He was even behaved around in heat females. He was trained to work cattle. Great dog, but totally did not like other people, which was fine. I made him a large run so when we had people over he was in there, he was fine until they tried to pet him. He was great with me, my partner and my kid, but anyone else he just didn't want to know. He wouldn't lunge at people or go from them unless they came to him, or towards myself or my son, he would get protective. As I said, we did all we could to prevent him every biting someone. Sadly i had to put him down due to health issues which made him even agressive towards my son and partner, which was very sad. He got chronic arthritis by the time we was 10 due to being a working dog. Best bud ever, miss him dearly ♡
I grew up in Australia, with a cattle dog, on a cattle farm with 500 cattle.. Their skill around cattle, and the effectiveness of what is essentially a small to medium size dog, with 1200lb Cows and 2000lb Bulls is so impressive. The nip is the bread and butter for their job. Amazing how they dont get kicked in the head that much by the cattle, such is their speed. I saw one take on two fighting bulls, effectively got run over by one of the bulls.. took a moment, then back in there! Incredible to watch them in their element. Obviously don't want the nip around other dogs or people.. You did a great job So loyal as pets. my best friend from when I was 18 months old till 18 years old! Big Love, Go Bluey!
I think you meant to say you grew up on a cattle station 😀🇦🇺
@@taniahabib2275 nah just a farm, 3000 acres. Needs to be heaps bigger than that that to be a station? No one called them station where I was from.
100% all of them! The owner/trainer is also a part of the pack and every pack correction is also a desensitization. It is amazing to see how quickly you can get results when you combine all those things and you know what you are doing. Thanks for this golden content
This is awesome, Joel. I rescued a three-legged cattle dog mix and have been looking for something like this. It was validating for what I've been doing with him. Your videos are so helpful and detailed! You're appreciated. 😄
You will see this due to the Pandemic. I got a Cattle Dog pup right before the Pandemic started and we were semi quarantined for safety. This dog looks nervous without his owners. You did a great job and Prince is a Prince with how he teaches him too.I say you and the pups are 50/50. Like all life- no consequences for bad behavior leads to MORE bad behavior. Thanks, good video.
Love your method. Early socialization to people and other dogs is so important.
out of all the youtube content i consume (gaming, guitar stuff, skating) your channel is the only one i genuinely enjoy and never skip any bits of it. love the stuff
I don't care about percentage. I think everything helped. I have a 10-month-old ACD female. She's scared of other dogs but she's getting better just passing them on our walks. After your channel, I also like Jason Harris Dog Training and Tom Davis Upstate Canine Academy.
She isn't "scared" . She is "cautious". I've got 2 decades with ACDs. As she gets older you'll see it more. But it's totally fixable. Just takes work, obviously. Good luck. Cheers
Joel, I’m so in love with your training! I’m happily married (12 years and going strong/ 3 beautiful kids ❤️) yet, is it weird to say… I’ve fallen in love with you too?! 😂😂😂. Love your training! You’ve helped me so much with tips/tricks for our family’s first toy breed. Keep the videos coming!!!
Just found this podcast…Love it!….coming from a ranch, sister corrected horse behavior and now Pitt bull behavior. This guy is spot on! And has given me some helpful tips for my daughters dog. Thank you and continue your amazing work.
I used to have a german shepard she was a rescue and when i got her she kept nipping the back of my 3 year olds legs to get his food or snacks from him. I admitted that the dog needed more than i was able to give at the time but i was able to rehome her with a single man and he has trained her so well, 7 years on and he still has her and to be honest her whole attitude is night and day. I made the right decision and i don't regret taking her in the first place as i saved her from starvation and neglect and found her a good home.
I think 100% is Joel…..what I mean is whether it’s your corrections, Prince who is trained by Joel and told to stop when necessary, or your teaching to the owners……desensitized with dogs that you have to use, it’s still part of the training. So either way….it’s Joel and we love it
