"Why would we want to bring the treats out? My way was fast, my way was not mean, and it worked." See, that's why we love you. People make such a big deal out of every little thing with dogs. It's ridiculous. Some trainers are saying you should be counter-intuitive and not say uh-uh or no right when they choose to disobey because ThEn ThE DoG LeArNs BeTtEr. You say uh-uh or no, they don't do the thing you don't want them to do, you praise them. And then you practice it a few times more until they're not thinking about disobeying anymore.

Literally, if you bring treats out around any of my “problem dogs,” they won’t do anything you want them to bc their mind is “FOOD.” 🙄 They’re all rescues, too, which is probably why; they have a bad relationship with food.

@@alexandersquid4681 I'm no trainer and my dog isn't perfect, but I NEVER use treats to reinforce anything. I just don't believe in it. A dog should do what you tell it because it respects you as a caretaker as much as you respect it as a dog. Treats as a reward for a long day of training or just as an initial tool to help with distraction are one thing, but relying on them to get good behavior is a mistake, in my opinion. I've always just tried to keep my dog very present when I'm training him and kept up with it until he caught on. Your dog will never respect you if it just sees you as a treat dispenser whenever it plays the game right. Whether or not a dog behaves without incentives is when you really know whether or not they see you as the pack leader, in my opinion. Treats muddy that.

@@donnaturner4795, I haven't watched this video yet ( sometimes I read some comments first ) there is absolutely no reason why treats can't be used when teaching a new behavior or reinforcing that behavior with distractions until it's solid. As with anything it's a tool and should be used as such ...and not a crutch. Once my dog is solid on that behavior that I've been teaching I don't need it anymore. Training treats as with any other training tool can be used incorrectly, it's all on how you use that tool. My dogs always have to earn whatever they want, that's obedience commands for every day life, with no treats needed.

I think a big part of the issue is the % of dogs from shelters in people's homes today is much higher than 20 years ago. Getting a dog as a puppy and training them from scratch and getting a shelter dog with issues are not anywhere close to the same. That being said, even though these shelter dogs are harder to train people need to put the effort in. The dog I adopted 6 months ago spent 4 months as a puppy with a rich family nearby and they gave him back to the shelter because 'he was too much work' and they kenneled him for 20 hours a day. The first walk we went on it was obvious at almost a year old, they had never put him on a leash and gone for a walk or taught him even simple basics like sit, down, and paw. I use mostly Beckman's style of training for him and it works so well. Due to his anxiety from his owners (males) I have had to use a lot more treats and positive train for certain behaviors. If he was more hard headed and happy like my Boxers have been then he wouldn't need the treats for training.

I'm absolutely for being respectful and kind to our dogs (and kids). But there also need to be boundaries and clarity. There are so many dogs out of control, they can't even play with each other anymore and be social. And all the tiptoeing around them and purely pampering and being positive does absolutely nothing but creating spoiled, insecure, or overly dominant aggressive dogs that don't know how to handle a situation properly. I also believe in training tools like different collars, because they work with almost immediate effect if used right. That said things have to be used right and respectfully and not for torturing and creating a fearful dog. But showing a dog a few times kindly but direct what we need while also creating a loving bond, creates the best and most enjoyable life for a dog. If they don't really know what we want and what's not okay and they spend years with this insecurity or aggression problem until they maybe get it, it just creates a life of misery and stress. They only have about 12 years to life, so let's teach them effectively.

We took in a neighbor's pitbull just about a year ago after they’d kept him constantly crated for basically his entire life, done no training beyond "sit," "down," and "paw," and never taken him on a walk. Let me just say, after all the positive only methods completely failing, your techniques have given us a totally different dog than when we brought him home. He's only 3 & 1/2 now so there's still a lot of puppy in him, but he knows that when we say something, like "sit" or "drop it" or "come here," it's not optional. We *will* push his butt to the floor (gently, of course). We *will* make him let go of whatever he's holding onto. We *will* go get him, and play time will be over if he tries to pretend he just didn't hear us. And he is a *much* better behaved and *much* happier dog because we don't make him guess what is and is not acceptable behavior. Thank you, truly.

The hilarious thing is, is many people who will say such training is mean, etc. will have no issues using a shock collar, prong collar, or choke chain. It's a hands-off method of control & thus "ethical". I had a neighbor like this. They thought I was being "mean" to my dog - I've always adopted & retrained shelter dogs, and the dog I had at the time was an Elkhound with such high prey drive that when walked her at the shelter to see how she'd do with my gsd-mix she choked herself to near unconsciousness trying to get after squirrels - by using similar methods as here. That neighbor had a bully-type dog on a prong & said the dog "loved" it because the collar made the dog "manageable" without having to do much.

My shelter dog bit the leash when I first got him. "Drop it" didn't work. It was bad enough that we couldn't even finish our first walk. So I took him to a field on our route and waited for him to bite and tug the leash again. When he did, I wrestled him to the grass and didn't let him up until he released it and calmed down. No hitting, no yelling, just giving the command and spreading my weight out on him (I'm pretty skinny, so I wasn't worried about hurting him) until he submitted. A little rough-housing to show who was boss. Any time he tried to wiggle free, I'd just readjust my weight until he understood he wasn't going anywhere. He let go and we finished out walk peacefully, and that was the last time he bit the leash. That was seven years ago. I kind of knew he was a good boy and just needed a little perspective change. People are so afraid to try unusual things with stubborn dogs. Meanwhile, they'll spend weeks trying to do it the "ethical" way, as if a dog knows what that is.

So I’m very thankful for you and your videos. And seeing your level of sternness makes me feel better because I know I’m doing it correctly and I’m not being “abusive” like people would say.

We’ve trained him sit, and lay. But only does it when he wants to do it. Only does it if you give him a treat. So when he met my roommates dog. They got into it because Arroe doesn’t understand social ques and when we would try to correct him or tell him to sit he wouldn’t.

I have a super high energy thinks everything is a game big strong Husky/Wolf. I remember my dad being a super skilled trainer for his dogs and these methods you use remind me soo much of that! Ive never had such a high energy dog before and these tips have helped a ton with him. Especially because I got him when he was just about to turn 2 so a lot of what he does is because of lack of training while he was a puppy.

Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book kzhead.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.

I absolutely LOVE you and your video's. My partner when we decided to get a dog.. said he would love a staffy. Give me all the bulls**t about training and wanting a best friend. Well.. 4-6 months later, who is doing all thr walking when Kovu was never trained to walk on thr lead. So I spent around 7-8 months walking a strong staffy with my arm being nearly pulled out its sockets. He became closer to me, and I had a little bond with him but I dreaded the walks. And with the resent of my partner wanting Kovu so bad and then not doing what he needed to do, and basically left me to it. I literally trained Kovu to walk gently, and listen to me in 2 weeks. Ok he doesn't walk at my side. But I don't mind that tbh. I just care that OK he's in front of me, but there is 90% ALWAYS slack on the lead. And when there is no slag, a gentle jult on the lead corrects him. I can not thank you enough, and sadly because of thr dread of walking him and my partner having no interest. He was only getting walked say 4 times a week for a hour each. Yes... I feel bad. But now.... I'm taking him at least 2 times a day, mostly 3 times. Resulting in 3hours a day. 2 walks at 30 mins and 1 walk at 90mins - 2 hours. So thank you, thank you. Your work and videos are amazing and helping not just myself but thousands of dog owners 🥰

The variability mention really struck me. Most dogs live with more than one human in their house. Not every person is going to have the same exact expectations, verbal cues, and visual cues with their dog. I tried. My husband is more lenient, but he can also physically handle our big dogs more so than me. My dogs have successfully learned that there are different expectations with different humans. I hope I’m on the right track here. It’s the reality in the dog world and the people world. Again, thanks for the conversation about variability.

My wife is sold on the idea that it should all be positive. Last night my 4 m.o. Golden bolted through an opened interior door and was going to ‘play’ with my 15 y.o. Dachshund. Her sweet little effort to happily call the Golden failed. But so did my ‘Come!’ Thing is, I did the ‘Go Get’, brought him back, held his collar and looked him in the eye. Wife didn’t like it, talking to her, back goes the Golden. Again I said ‘Come’ in a command voice. Golden turned his butt around and came to me. So my wife converted. Hahaha! Of course not.
@Zerpersande2 жыл бұрын
As an addition…. My Golden bolted out the front door a couple of weeks ago. No leash, bounding toward the road looking like Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music. My initial, normally firm, ‘Come!’ was ignored. If anything he gained speed. I flipped the “I ain’t f##king around” switch and his head swiveled toward me in mid-bound. A repeat of the same command while I was looking at him did the trick. The wife and her purely positive bullcrap would have resulted in a trip to the vet to address an acute case of Flat Dog Syndrome.
"Why would we want to bring the treats out? My way was fast, my way was not mean, and it worked." See, that's why we love you. People make such a big deal out of every little thing with dogs. It's ridiculous. Some trainers are saying you should be counter-intuitive and not say uh-uh or no right when they choose to disobey because ThEn ThE DoG LeArNs BeTtEr. You say uh-uh or no, they don't do the thing you don't want them to do, you praise them. And then you practice it a few times more until they're not thinking about disobeying anymore.
Literally, if you bring treats out around any of my “problem dogs,” they won’t do anything you want them to bc their mind is “FOOD.” 🙄 They’re all rescues, too, which is probably why; they have a bad relationship with food.
@@alexandersquid4681 I'm no trainer and my dog isn't perfect, but I NEVER use treats to reinforce anything. I just don't believe in it. A dog should do what you tell it because it respects you as a caretaker as much as you respect it as a dog. Treats as a reward for a long day of training or just as an initial tool to help with distraction are one thing, but relying on them to get good behavior is a mistake, in my opinion. I've always just tried to keep my dog very present when I'm training him and kept up with it until he caught on. Your dog will never respect you if it just sees you as a treat dispenser whenever it plays the game right. Whether or not a dog behaves without incentives is when you really know whether or not they see you as the pack leader, in my opinion. Treats muddy that.
as a 60yrs ole woman who has owned dogs all my life, the last 30 some odd, pits... and as a mother of 4... I've never used treats for expected behavior, nor did I pay my children to help with chores within a home they live in as well...
@@donnaturner4795, I haven't watched this video yet ( sometimes I read some comments first ) there is absolutely no reason why treats can't be used when teaching a new behavior or reinforcing that behavior with distractions until it's solid. As with anything it's a tool and should be used as such ...and not a crutch. Once my dog is solid on that behavior that I've been teaching I don't need it anymore. Training treats as with any other training tool can be used incorrectly, it's all on how you use that tool. My dogs always have to earn whatever they want, that's obedience commands for every day life, with no treats needed.
I seriously wonder if communists are deliberately making sure they can remotely mind control these dogs to attack later.

This. We have just as nutty dog at home (11-month old male Serbian tricolour hound mix). Positive reinforcement training only worked until a certain degree with him. Not to mention, our dog figured out us and uses any sign of weakness he sees. That's why we needed to use Joel methods. Dogs need boundaries for a happy calm life.

When I first got my puppy and viewed your channel, I thought this guy is unnecessarily tough. Then at 4 months, my what-I-thought was ‘chill’ puppy showed her happy, impulsive, dominant personality. I’ve been holding onto your techniques for dear life! And I hear your voice and gain the attitude I need to make corrections.😂 Keep it up. We appreciate you. And it’s working!!
Just make sure to go easy on her. :) He has a few videos about puppies, too. When they're young they have to be given some leeway. They're like little children, no need to be super hard yet.
I know the feeling. Lol.
My puppy is 4 months and I’m experiencing the same thing. Binge watching all his videos. 😂
Only exception I'd make to that statement is that a puppy should learn as early as possible is that nipping/biting a human is NEVER ok.
Same. I thought my puppy slept too much and I was worried. Then he hit the 4 month mark and lol..the alpha dinosaur woke up from his slumber
One thing people have to remember is to stay calm when working or dealing with a dog like this.
Oh yes, and it isn't always easy. I barely switched from leash to line today (to play ball), and because I turned to say hi to a neighbor, my dog literally shot off like a bat out of h..... The line got wrapped around my fingerand he almost tore off the top third. He also knocked over two side tables on the patio, in one fell swoop. Then, he looked at me like, "whoops, what happened - play ball." I corrected him, and we then played, with my finger throbbing. These giys are energetic and over the top. (GSD/Malinois mix - not for the average dog owner)
I also wasn't sure with my latest GS mix pup, how much correction I should use, since it had been 10 years since my last one! The local, treat based training place did not address mouthiness at all. Luckily I found my old trainer who uses the same tried and true methods as Beckman's
@@julieb3996 Joel also has the satiation video too, especially for puppies. After the 6 month mark, some go through a phase where they're setting their jaw pressure so the satiation method works great too. My Dobe was 1.5 yrs old before he could not be left in a crate when we left the house. Not from a housebreaking standpoint (that only took 1 week and he only ever had 1 accident), but from a chewing standpoint. Hope that helps.
I'm glad you acknowledged that what he was doing on the floor was kind of cute 🤣 I feel like training this dog would be like when your young kid says something super funny but you are trying to be serious and you have to hold back your laughing.
Hi. I think Jojo has Hip Dyspalsia. He has difficulties to sit down , and prefere to lay on the Floor. My doberman had exactly the same problem. He couldn’t walk , stand or sit for longer periods of time. Notice how he leans toward his left side when sitting. Poor Jojo

You are so right about how things have changed with dogs and their owners. 20 years ago with my first Doberman, I didn’t have to carry pepper spray and have a mental map of the areas with aggressive dogs.
Do you live in Europe or not? Because I see the total opposite. I'm from Europe and we used to have a lot of aggressive dogs because owners didn't have the knowledge and information like we have now. Nowadays dogs are more social and behaved then 20 years ago in my experience
⛽️.
@@benben071 I’m in Southern California.
I think a big part of the issue is the % of dogs from shelters in people's homes today is much higher than 20 years ago. Getting a dog as a puppy and training them from scratch and getting a shelter dog with issues are not anywhere close to the same. That being said, even though these shelter dogs are harder to train people need to put the effort in. The dog I adopted 6 months ago spent 4 months as a puppy with a rich family nearby and they gave him back to the shelter because 'he was too much work' and they kenneled him for 20 hours a day. The first walk we went on it was obvious at almost a year old, they had never put him on a leash and gone for a walk or taught him even simple basics like sit, down, and paw. I use mostly Beckman's style of training for him and it works so well. Due to his anxiety from his owners (males) I have had to use a lot more treats and positive train for certain behaviors. If he was more hard headed and happy like my Boxers have been then he wouldn't need the treats for training.
@@benben071 depends where in europe you live. In Austria and Germany for example, you woun't see abandoned dog on street, or a dog that is not on leash while walking. But in some other countries abandoned dogs is huge bussines and ownrs also don't care if their aggresive dog is free to attack people. Autorities will react only if the dog bite or kill someone. Otherwise they don't care.
Probably one of your most valuable videos yet. This is real folks… dogs are outta control and a mess because humans won’t step up and say “knock it off!” Good for you for showing the real stuff Joel. Life isn’t always unicorns & rainbows.
Same with kids. :P But at least you can tell a kid why they need to knock it off. The only way to reason with a dog is speak their language, and their language is physical.
I'm sure if I had a unicorn it would stab me with its horn 🙃 I am a #terribletrainer
I posted on this subject and I couldn’t agree more with you. Maybe it’s me but it seems like the amount of crazy and nosy dogs tenfold compared to ten years ago. If your not (pardon my analogy) pretty much licking your dogs butt you’re “mistreating and abusing” them. I have honestly been sucked into the same way of thinking because of those people. Just because your dog does something it’s been trained to do doesn’t mean you give it a treat every single time
@@ziggymac5813 rip grammar
I'm absolutely for being respectful and kind to our dogs (and kids). But there also need to be boundaries and clarity. There are so many dogs out of control, they can't even play with each other anymore and be social. And all the tiptoeing around them and purely pampering and being positive does absolutely nothing but creating spoiled, insecure, or overly dominant aggressive dogs that don't know how to handle a situation properly. I also believe in training tools like different collars, because they work with almost immediate effect if used right. That said things have to be used right and respectfully and not for torturing and creating a fearful dog. But showing a dog a few times kindly but direct what we need while also creating a loving bond, creates the best and most enjoyable life for a dog. If they don't really know what we want and what's not okay and they spend years with this insecurity or aggression problem until they maybe get it, it just creates a life of misery and stress. They only have about 12 years to life, so let's teach them effectively.
We took in a neighbor's pitbull just about a year ago after they’d kept him constantly crated for basically his entire life, done no training beyond "sit," "down," and "paw," and never taken him on a walk. Let me just say, after all the positive only methods completely failing, your techniques have given us a totally different dog than when we brought him home. He's only 3 & 1/2 now so there's still a lot of puppy in him, but he knows that when we say something, like "sit" or "drop it" or "come here," it's not optional. We *will* push his butt to the floor (gently, of course). We *will* make him let go of whatever he's holding onto. We *will* go get him, and play time will be over if he tries to pretend he just didn't hear us. And he is a *much* better behaved and *much* happier dog because we don't make him guess what is and is not acceptable behavior. Thank you, truly.
Isn't it sad that the world got so soft that you literally have to say out loud this is not mean etc etc despite it being clear as day your gentle and causing no harm.
Very true Jason.
Couldn't agree more. But the little pop when correcting triggers people.
He said “it’s not mean, Jo Jo is playing” about Jojo’s mouthing 🙄
The hilarious thing is, is many people who will say such training is mean, etc. will have no issues using a shock collar, prong collar, or choke chain. It's a hands-off method of control & thus "ethical". I had a neighbor like this. They thought I was being "mean" to my dog - I've always adopted & retrained shelter dogs, and the dog I had at the time was an Elkhound with such high prey drive that when walked her at the shelter to see how she'd do with my gsd-mix she choked herself to near unconsciousness trying to get after squirrels - by using similar methods as here. That neighbor had a bully-type dog on a prong & said the dog "loved" it because the collar made the dog "manageable" without having to do much.
Not really, some affluent parts of the world have gotten soft but the rest is still hard and much worse than mean
We had our first dog in the 80s. my god how things have changed since then. So many more dogs. An industry dedicated to scaring owners about what will harm their dog from a list of about 20 foods, telling them “no” will harm their confidence lol), no slip leads, treats for everything etc etc. People talking about dogs like they’re their toddlers. Precious owners, precious dogs.
I did not understand the fake the dog out concept at first, but now I do. It prevents dogs from rehearsing and makes sure they are paying attention to you. This was a great video that should be very useful for people.
Joel, thanks for all the videos. Every time I walk a client's dog, I have your voice in my head, "I'll do this all day, I don't care" and I do everything you repeat in these videos. Great help and it really works.
I got that message on dog training to have that kind of expectation that we’re doing it my way (for everyone’s benefit) I’ll keep at it firmly or wait patiently til it’s so & that attitude alone helped so much!
i hope you charge your walking clients extra for training! lol
I like your really practical and pragmatic advice . There isn't any drama about it. You combine kind understanding with a taking no nonsense attitude. It a mature and deeply knowledgeable approach to it. Thank you for taking the time to post such informative and helpful videos. Thank you!
This dog is my favorite so far. He is so sweet and lazy 😂
I tried the positive training with my 13 month old Welsh Border Collie. I swear I could see her laughing at me 😂 Now I do the Tug at her lead. She’s not laughing at me any longer, now she listens and learns. Great video.
I watched this yesterday, but today while spending quiet time with my Ozzy I reflected on this video. I find it so refreshing to see you all tobe a true dog lovers. I am glad you were able to show us that even you have to push past their cuteness and wanting to feel gushy over them in order to maintain the confident training method. Our dogs are a major part of our lives and self control is key to managing all parts of life.
This was actually a great lesson for me. I have my dogs very well trained and behaved, but often they know what i want from our habits, so they assume and go ahead and do it a little before i'm ready. I'll try shaking it up so they check in. Thank you.
I am so grateful for your videos Joel! Your methods work and have helped me tremendously! My dog is 10 months old, weighs 75 pounds and behaves like Jojo -- but with a lot of puppy exuberance! I was beginning to think Stevie was just too much dog for me to handle BUT I practice with her daily and we have come a long way thanks to your teaching methods! Thank you sincerely.
Thank you. Totally love your style, your methods, your philosophy. This is working with my out of control, mouthing, leash biting, “I’ll do what I want” 14 week old puppy. She’s going to be waaay stronger than I am. I refuse to be ‘that guy’ being dragged by their dog. I know she’s still a puppy. We have lots of play sessions… but the LEASH means something! Thank You
Thank you for these videos, they really help so much! I started the go get method yesterday with my 12 month old pup after watching your video and I can see so much progress already. It usually takes 2 of us to get her, but now she is understanding my tone that we are not playing a game. I look forward to the day I can have her off leash and know she will come when called.
Hey Beckman family 🐾💌, I have no words for your videos anymore. All I can give you is bravo👏🐾👏
Thank you so much! I love your videos and your training method. I feel like not only are you teaching me how to train the dog, you are training my mindset on the why.
Simple and easy..it is the owners that get sentimental about applying the correction and don't have a no nonsense attitude about bratty, annoying behavior
It’s become rampant in parenting too 😒
I agree, not sure about this dog but I see so many spoiled dogs nowadays. Spoiled by owners who don't so much research the breed they want, its traits etc before purchasing. No, too many people are buying dogs who actually know bugger all about dogs in general. I despair at times.
I love your "go get" method! I have a lab mix that likes to bark through the fence at neighbors but while doing so won't come when called. I did the go get method two MAYBE three times and he knows if i call him whatever he is doing i will come get him if he doesn't listen and it's not worth the trouble for him. It was like night and day. Now when i go to let him outside to potty i can see him thinking about barking and he will turn around to check in with me and won't bark! Anyone who says positive only training has never had a stubborn or willful pet. To be honest my favorite phrase now is "i'm over it" it really sets a tone for training with no nonsense.
This is a super important video, a valuable video. Such intuition and wisdom. It's a huge help to me, partly because it helps me to better understand my dog and to help my dog better understand me. Thanks, Joel.
You are refreshing. Your videos are real life. I watch trainers seem to have perfect behavior in 2 mins but my guess is that’s 50 takes later. This dog is an example of how my dog is. Exactly and u are showing fixes real time.
My shelter dog bit the leash when I first got him. "Drop it" didn't work. It was bad enough that we couldn't even finish our first walk. So I took him to a field on our route and waited for him to bite and tug the leash again. When he did, I wrestled him to the grass and didn't let him up until he released it and calmed down. No hitting, no yelling, just giving the command and spreading my weight out on him (I'm pretty skinny, so I wasn't worried about hurting him) until he submitted. A little rough-housing to show who was boss. Any time he tried to wiggle free, I'd just readjust my weight until he understood he wasn't going anywhere. He let go and we finished out walk peacefully, and that was the last time he bit the leash. That was seven years ago. I kind of knew he was a good boy and just needed a little perspective change. People are so afraid to try unusual things with stubborn dogs. Meanwhile, they'll spend weeks trying to do it the "ethical" way, as if a dog knows what that is.
I always say “mean” is having a untrained dog hit by a car because he ran away not listening. It’s mean because the owners know better and did nothing to protect their dog.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn so much the loose lead works a treat I have a 6 stone American bull dog who was nervous constantly pulled to get back to the car I started working on your touch methods slowed the walk down so she could absorb her surrounds and used the loose lead it’s totally changed her and she is so more relaxed and confident thank you we are totally enjoying our walks now 👍
Thanks for sharing! Your attitude and methods are great. Dogs need their owners to act like leaders.
I just got a 10 month old puppy from the shelter she never been in a home . Your videos have made my life easier she is a fast learner too .
You have changed everything I know about training a dog.(Thought I knew lol). Seeing the same results as what I watch is a reward in it of itself. Thanks for everything! keep it up! Also here for the youtube algo! People need to know! You're Absolutely correct. There is a pandemic of dog owners that just don't know better. This is the responsibility of owning a dog. You owe them that much. Dog training obedience training classes should be a requirement to own dogs.
Your methods work, I love them, makes so MUCH sense! Thank you
Thank you so much for your videos. It's the first channel I found that makes sense, is realistic and really works. I feel more confident with my dog now.
Joel 🤣 you two were like a little comedy sketch! I found it so funny seeing how you were wanting to be serious for the video but could tell you really just wanted to get down and play with him! 😍
I really appreciate you and all your videos. I’ve been binging all night. Me and my boyfriend adopted what we thought was a pit bull from the shelter. Turns out he’s a Dogo Argentino. Who’s been a stray his whole life. He’s also only 1. He is the most loving and caring dog to me and my bf but does the mouthing when we try to correct him or grab his collar or harness. He gets aggressive around other dogs, and also aggressive towards certain people. Not all people but certain ones. We can’t afford to get a trainer or put him through classes. So I’m very thankful for you and your videos. And seeing your level of sternness makes me feel better because I know I’m doing it correctly and I’m not being “abusive” like people would say. I’m constantly having to discipline and raise my voice at our dog (Arroe) because he gets into everything. He misbehaves so terrible and it’s hard. He also has selective hearing. We’ve trained him sit, and lay. But only does it when he wants to do it. Only does it if you give him a treat. So when he met my roommates dog. They got into it because Arroe doesn’t understand social ques and when we would try to correct him or tell him to sit he wouldn’t.
Thanks to your doorway method, took a while for us to train ours when she was 10 weeks old, but totally worth the time we spent over and over again. She's a little over a year now. Now we're working on the mouthing and other things... so this video is perfect
My dog is exactly the same! I find that changing things up in the routine is the only way to knock her off her crazy game.
I've been watching your videos for a few days now and you definitely have my respect on your insight and techniques. Thank you for your awesome content. I'm definitely gonna subscribe.
I used the release and pop method on our walk this morning for the first time after finding your channel yesterday. Bloody brilliant technique. The best walk we’ve ever had. Hardly any pulling and she was checking in with me and staying close and on loose leash. We will keep doing this method and get this perfected. All the other methods I tried were not working and I don’t like the Mollycoddling way a lot of modern trainers train. So happy I found this channel.
Great video - I'd love to see more on how to stop a dog chewing on the leash on a walk - I couldn't find anything in your history and I think explaining this technique. Thanks for all you do
I very much appreciate that you’re not trying to placate with constant teats and positive reinforcement. “I don’t care if he doesn’t like it.” 🙌🙌🤛🏼
This was so helpful. My super impulsive big dog is getting a wake-up.
Right!?!?
I am a big fan of Cesar and am now a big fan of this guy too - I appreciate his direct approach!
You also would like this guy I forget his name right now but he had a television show called “in the doghouse “ and he’s Canadian and he doesn’t put up with any nonsense. Especially with the owners 😂😂😅
Your videos are helping me so much to train our GSD. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and methods. I am learning SO much from you and sharing these things with my family so that we can all be on the same page.
Maybe not a popular thought but I’d check out a dog’s back or other possible source of distress/pain that the dog is avoiding staying in a position that stresses it. Backs, legs, paws can be painful esp w/4 legs. It can be jus silly but maybe not. Pets can have gotten a tweak somewhere in their big moving & rough play. They’re stoic or silly over stuff. Not that this applies exactly to this big long back dog. Js
Thank you very much for your video!!! My 16 year old boy is very good on leash but never listened or followed me off leash! We used your fake off leash method with 15 mins and we now got it! Amazing! Please keep making videos! Love you!
I am so grateful that a friend recommended your channel! Thank you this is awesome!
I can't thank you enough for your help! My new xolo puppy is just like this but a little more of everything I saw!!! Your ideas are working!❤
We only use martingale collars for our dogs to prevent escaping the collar! They make great everyday collars as well as training collars!
Agreed! My pup did a move and escaped from a choke chain one day. Since then I have used the Martingale as his standard collar. One mistake like that can cause a dog to be run over and killed.
JOEL showing the problem first then the solution....Brilliantly shown mindset. YES!
but he is a good boi, little wilde, strong in the goof but a sweet character and afer a little training he will be an amzing companion
I have a super high energy thinks everything is a game big strong Husky/Wolf. I remember my dad being a super skilled trainer for his dogs and these methods you use remind me soo much of that! Ive never had such a high energy dog before and these tips have helped a ton with him. Especially because I got him when he was just about to turn 2 so a lot of what he does is because of lack of training while he was a puppy.
“You’re not even s puppy. You’re an adult dog..” Too funny!
This was such a helpful video, thanks for the explanation on why these methods work!
Tried the collar technique on my Aussi/Border cross that was trying to delay going on her evening walk by lying on her back with feet on the air pretending to be cute. Can't believe the effect was almost instant instead of me wrestling her to stand up we were walking! Love the videos and all the advice. Keep it up as we need help in the UK too.
Thank you for this video! We just rescued and adult dog and while he is very good overall. He is a young adult and gets excited and jumps when he wants to play or we come home and gets mouthy at times. Love you’re videos and I’m learning a lot!
I love this video! I had to watch it again for our Josie who is just like Jojo. She thinks everything's a big game and she's got the cute little puppy eyes down to a tee
This is exactly how my 7 month pup acts. To the "T" I'm definitely going to implement these tips on my puppy.
you shall be happy you did🙂
you shall be happy you did🙂
What tips did you find from video? I found nothing really
I'm going to try these tips on my paterdale terrier and let's see if it works 😂 she does the same things like JoJo but a little more crazier.
The dog "training world" "NEEDS A REALITY CHECK"!!!! THANK YOU!! I just decovered your channel and I'm liking it! Thank you!
I'm glad to know this dog is 90lbs it looks like you shrank! But this is really useful information! My pup is 8mos and was mouthy and I changed from a treat based trainer (convenient class times) to a trainer more like you (who I worked with 10 yrs ago) and your methods are tried and true. Truth is hard
You are the realist dog trainer on the web. Thank you!
Finally a dog similar to my lab Thanks for showing dogs that aren't perfect..so many trainers say the dog is difficult but they show a "perfect" dog.
I love this dog. He's loving but stubborn! Hahaha.
Really good info...i"'ve been doing this "breaking frame" on my pit that I adopted from a shelter, for about a year. This is a must...for some dogs.
I have watched this video several times, because my dog is a real clown, too, not ever aggressive. It really helps me. I appreciate the variety of dogs dealt with by Joel, but there aren’t many that I can find that deal with silly impulsivity like this (adorable) dog. I catch myself getting caught up with my dog’s antics and he ends up winning his way. Thank you for reminding me that we have to be “over it”.
I just realized the importance of ambiguity in the OK: Pay attention to me not just my words...As I became educated it was not good to think I knew all the answers but, we need to think we understand and prove it by analysis to learn and gain clarity. What a great concept--I have been watching for a year or so and some of the finer points of training are becoming clear. Having an open mind helps me to learn new things...there's always something.
when you have an ultra chill rescue dog that just "chooses sleep" over anything else, and you just watch this like: wow. Interesting XD
🙏 thanks again, for a useful video. I have a nutty 7 months old GSP and after seeing this, my boy ain't doing that bad..... And I totally agree on the too soft approach from de dog trainers nowadays. Exclusively positive reinforcement didn't got me anywhere. Your method does!
This is awesome, my young puppy does this a few times a day and quite often during witching hour and when you try to put him in a sit he will mouth my hands while making sounds like an angry racoon. He will go dead weight and lay down, and when you think he calms down and eases up he will look at you the eyes bulge out and jumps at your arm and hands again. Thank you for showing this and how to deal with it, I tried to pull him up into a sit but he wouldn't but I will keep trying.
I did not know there was an actually witching hour for dogs but I learned the hard way that YES there really is a witching hour and my puppy is crazy from 5pm to 8pm which is so very frustrating because she behaves all day.
@@terridavis9278 I have the same issue with my puppy, have you found any ways to deal with that behavior? I've had to resort to putting him in his crate if he doesn't settle down, but then I get barking non-stop. Trying to figure out how to break that too. Tried Joel's suggestion of banging on the crate and issuing a command to "settle" or quiet" but it hasn't worked.
Take them out for a walk at that time, try run off some of that excess energy & craziness, it doesn't always work, as my 7 month old puppy sometimes still has endless energy & crazy behaviour after the walk, but it does help sometimes
@@MrMulligan84 I got hard rubber toys that I run water over and stick in the freezer so they are very cold and hard for the puppy to chew on and it gives me some peace for a while. That is after I take her outside and let her run, spin, jump (on a leash). She wont walk on a leash at this time so I just let her go nuts for a few minutes then take her inside and put her in her kennel with the frozen hard toy to chew on.
@@terridavis9278, great idea about the frozen toy or kong in a crate during the witching hour. 🌟
Sorry can't help it but I love that dog, I would just have to hug him back lol ! What a playful loveable guy ! 😂
Right!? I guess I just don't care as long as he isn't destructive or dangerous. I livenon a farm so things are a bit more lax.
I love your channel and approch to dog training. Ive learned so much. Ive applied it and it works.
Oh wow, when I read the title I was like, "Is this secretly about my dog?". But the body language, the color, the size, Jojo could deadass be my dog's brother!
You’re the only KZhead dog trainer that cracks me up
I love your videos ! I love your teaching !! Thank you so much
Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book kzhead.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.
Usually a dog that's going to be scared to you his tales going to be down his ears not all the way back but he's going to come out either down all the way or he's going to put his tail all the way up ands scoff at you and in backup. List of songs that are civil I got to run away if they're afraid of you that they're going to close their mouths for 1 the other thing I've noticed when a dog is afraid of me they will bite a scared dog always become aggressive I don't know what sitrep you were in it if you want to reply to me you can
I have had dogs wonderfully trained go anywhere, Dobermans and Manchester terriers for 20 plus years. When I got my current MT, I bought into the "NEW" positive-only training method. You know what I got: Thousands spent with trainers and a dog that can not walk on a lease. I have been going back to these types of methods and guess what we are improving every day
Best information I was looking for , for a long time. Thank you
my dog does many behaviors Jojo does so I am appreciative of this one
Joel keeps me going when I’m feeling so discouraged with my 10 month old golden. I’m totally on board but stopping the bolt is not always possible for me. I need to dig deeper though. Joel’s approach is totally on point. Thanks for helping me, Joel. You’re awesome 🙂
Oh I hear you,I have a border collie,golden mix. Loving but pig headed 1 1/2 and still mouths...grrr.lol
This was a great video - I have 10mo Standard Poodle who is in the Jojo Camp. I have made good strides forward using some of your techniques. My dude is such a goofball.
Thank u! I have tried pure positive reinforcement it works to a degree, but it's not the total solution. I enrolled in one of those courses just for myself. I worked with it. My little M is a brute. So glad he's not 150 pounds. I do really have to be stern and yet praise him for doing well. He's 10 pounds of attitude. I have never worked so hard on a dog. I love him so we keep working with him. Thank u for so many training tips that I'm using constantly ❤
OMGosh!! FINALLY! A real trainer! I trained dogs for obedience, schutzhund and as model companions years ago. What’s up with the clickers, treats galore and “asking” ??!!! Old school training where the reward is the human approval or a correction when needed. I’ve had many large dogs. I teach, then expect, then demand. No begging. It’s more humane than constant nagging the dog.
Yep, you gotta let them get it wrong so they can get it right, i'v been out the last couple of days, useing your methods on my 7 month old german shepard pup, your methods are working for me, the difference in 3 training sessions was NOTICABLE, proofs in the pudding, thanks beck
I have a dog exactly like this and I was led down the wrong path by a behaviorist and a trainer who just wanted more treats, more treats, redirect, more treats. Everything changed when a friend who used to train dogs told me, "this is your world, and he's living in it."
Yep! You're living under MY roof. I'll give you some leeway, but if I don't want some behavior, then it WILL stop.
my dog is exactly like this, life is a game for him. He bites leash when we do leash work, he lays when he wants to, starts to ignore, you after 5 mins of a training session, he lunes. I'm so glad someone recommended him I hope these sessions work. I've started to be a little more stern with my dog and my wife thinks I'm being mean 😆
The best trainer. I like how u mention To be gentle with a puppy. Some people my mistake doing these things with a 10 week old
I absolutely LOVE you and your video's. My partner when we decided to get a dog.. said he would love a staffy. Give me all the bulls**t about training and wanting a best friend. Well.. 4-6 months later, who is doing all thr walking when Kovu was never trained to walk on thr lead. So I spent around 7-8 months walking a strong staffy with my arm being nearly pulled out its sockets. He became closer to me, and I had a little bond with him but I dreaded the walks. And with the resent of my partner wanting Kovu so bad and then not doing what he needed to do, and basically left me to it. I literally trained Kovu to walk gently, and listen to me in 2 weeks. Ok he doesn't walk at my side. But I don't mind that tbh. I just care that OK he's in front of me, but there is 90% ALWAYS slack on the lead. And when there is no slag, a gentle jult on the lead corrects him. I can not thank you enough, and sadly because of thr dread of walking him and my partner having no interest. He was only getting walked say 4 times a week for a hour each. Yes... I feel bad. But now.... I'm taking him at least 2 times a day, mostly 3 times. Resulting in 3hours a day. 2 walks at 30 mins and 1 walk at 90mins - 2 hours. So thank you, thank you. Your work and videos are amazing and helping not just myself but thousands of dog owners 🥰
Great session, thanks Joel.
Just found you. I Love your personalty with the dogs. Great videos !
The variability mention really struck me. Most dogs live with more than one human in their house. Not every person is going to have the same exact expectations, verbal cues, and visual cues with their dog. I tried. My husband is more lenient, but he can also physically handle our big dogs more so than me. My dogs have successfully learned that there are different expectations with different humans. I hope I’m on the right track here. It’s the reality in the dog world and the people world. Again, thanks for the conversation about variability.
My wife is sold on the idea that it should all be positive. Last night my 4 m.o. Golden bolted through an opened interior door and was going to ‘play’ with my 15 y.o. Dachshund. Her sweet little effort to happily call the Golden failed. But so did my ‘Come!’ Thing is, I did the ‘Go Get’, brought him back, held his collar and looked him in the eye. Wife didn’t like it, talking to her, back goes the Golden. Again I said ‘Come’ in a command voice. Golden turned his butt around and came to me. So my wife converted. Hahaha! Of course not.
As an addition…. My Golden bolted out the front door a couple of weeks ago. No leash, bounding toward the road looking like Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music. My initial, normally firm, ‘Come!’ was ignored. If anything he gained speed. I flipped the “I ain’t f##king around” switch and his head swiveled toward me in mid-bound. A repeat of the same command while I was looking at him did the trick. The wife and her purely positive bullcrap would have resulted in a trip to the vet to address an acute case of Flat Dog Syndrome.
