Prince was like, "I'm calling in sick today." and you were like, "you got it buddy." I hope I am always blessed with this type of relationship with my pack.
The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.
No matter how dominant you are there’s going to be a bigger more dominant dog out there. Prince did just fine! He understood a lost match and very much indicated that different methods must be used. Great lesson.
My goodness, that dog is an absolute unit, he must have been a terror before he got neutered. I've never seen Prince not pee on the fence. It's incredible seeing Prince's little dog brain assess the situation and say, "NOPE! I don't want any of that business."
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
I had an Olde English Bulldog, sadly he passed away from cancer after 5 years but he had the most personality of any dog I've ever had/seen. So sweet and smart.
Holy crap that dog is built like a freight train! He actually looks like the dog version of a bull, minus the horns. Handsome fella, looks very fit, too, not overweight. Great video as always, Joel.
The truth is that he’s an actual bull dog, he’s got the size and character to go with his breed 💪, and he like socks 🤷♂️ Obviously not going to be an easy dog to train but it’s so nice to see the process 💪 great video
mine used to bite feet, got most of the traits out of him but yes, he doesnt and wont tollerate any one coming into the house i have to crate him.he will sit leave doesnt bite toes feet or socks anymore.cant walk him he draggs me down the road and my old fella wont walk him either, but i love him and his fat farty ass. he will do what hes told in the house.he has finally liked the cats he hated them but gees hes a shit gets on well with the other dogs now supervsed esp weirldy the tiny chihuahua that wont take any messing or cheek off him. they are really difficult dogs to own. he was 4 months going on 5 and was really cheap for one of those breeds in the uk. the little sod was nuts, bit us playing and was crazy.the old fella said i love him you can sort him out. my head said no hes nuts thats why hes for sale so cheap. heart said gees i can maybe and weve come all this way to buy him. after having bullmastiffs a ddb and a boxer a pitbull xs s ell as other breeds small to large over the years i said yes, we took him home. he is the dog of nightmares, i love him to bits but dread the day when we have to take him to the vets.would love to do a dna test to see what crazy mix of breeds these olde tyme and bulldogs are.when he was a pup he had beautifull green eyes, now there hazel looking
Very informative, best one yet . And I love how honest he was and not always praising or saying his dog is the best. But instead explained the situation and kept teaching
Archie is a gorgeous bulldog. Bulldog's are stubborn and too smart for their own good !! Also very strong. I love how you can read a dog. Watching the corrections are always very helpful.
Thank you for actually posting full videos of your methods. These methods are pretty identical to how I have naturally raised my dog, but I'm still working with him on a few things and all these trainers want you to book with them, so they don't post how they actually get the result. Well, I'm not in CA or TX and I don't have money for a trainer so I just genuinely appreciate a trainer who actually knows what they're doing and posts the entire process. Thanks again from my doberman and I.
Love seeing the body language explained and coaching/empowering the owners with specifics. The loose leash walking definitely has improved my life (2 pits & a golden) . Beckman FTW🐾❤️
Because I watched Ceser I knew how to walk my brother's huge dog,he would pull everyone down the sidewalk on a ten foot leash when they took him out,well when I took the leash I told him he was going to listen to me in a quiet voice too,I didn't raise my voice once at him,I stayed calm and in control! I made him stop before we walked through the threshold and would only let him out after me,and after one pull I corrected him after that he was good! Not once did he pull me after that,he knew not to try and walk out before me after just one time,the rest of the people that tried to walk him didn't let him know who was boss or give him credit when he did what he was told.. I'm 5'3 and 125 lbs,his dog weighed more then me and came up to my waist! Oh and btw I've taught three kitties to fetch...lol 😻
I love, love your training methods. No one criticizing you knows what they are talking about. Not all dogs are as gentle as a stuffed animal, which only positive training seems to believe. I would not have been able to keep my rescue dog without your teachings. Major issues melt away when a person follows your teaching and training methods. I thank you and my rescue dog thanks you. You are our hero, "We can do this all day"❤
Yeah, R+ is extremely annoying. Whenever I get in an argument I always ask “Do you believe dogs bite, growl, or bark when scared? If so, why is it wrong to bite, growl, or bark at them when they’re trying to scare you?”. Once you confront someone with logic suddenly the break down. I suppose it’s sorta like how vegans don’t realize that animals eat each other.
You're a great trainer. I HATE people who think these big dogs should be coddled. When my Dane was a year and over 100lbs, not snipped and full of testosterone, coddling him would have never worked. He was very protective but the instant I said "No" or "It's okay" it's like a light switch was flipped, his demeanor changed, body language and I instantly knew it was all good and I let the people know that, either guest in our house or other owners at Dog parks. He only got into one fight and it was an aggressive German Shepherd who's owner didn't care two $hits, my boy Apollo put him on his back and then walked away. The shepherd kept coming and I had to call for the owner because that dog was about to get hurt. Outside that, he played with Chihuahuas to Pitbulls to Hound Dogs, Curs and even kittens. Usually his trigger was other men in the house, but like I said once I said "No, it's okay" (like he actually spoke English, so weird Lol) he dropped the attitude and was loving playful. I miss that boy so much... RIP APOLLO
The thing is people today are soft, if these videos were done in the 80s everyone would have agreed with him, but now people are so soft that you're not allowed to accidentally step on ants......
I appreciate a trainer that is actually realistic, I used to train my dogs in a very primal way. In short I acted like a dog, but was very kind when there was no warrant for a correction. But, I have alot to learn about behavioral psychology in a dog.
I'm studying dog behaviour at the moment and these videos are invaluable. As well as you explaining it i'm actually starting to see the behaviours and recognise the signs and body language before they happen. Fantastic work you're doing and getting real results as there is absolutely no way purely positive training can get results as good as your methods. Giving the dog direction and being the boss to look to for guidance is deffo the best training method expecially with larger stubborn breeds that will push your buttons and keep testing you!
Yah these dog types don’t listen to verbal cues they need the physical to go with the verbal cues. You can even see it in his sneeze fuck yous. That dog knows it’s dominant and it needs some serious discipline to know it’s not the boss. Defiantly needs more than a gentle leader. Prong collar would do more good. Not trying to be mean that dog just doesn’t feel shit.
You advocate a prong collar and you swea .ive had dogs my entire long life never would i put a prong collar on one. Some of my dogs were terribly difficult turned out wonderful. Prong colors are cruel and those who use them are stupid lazy and ignorant on dog nature.
I’m a dog lover and really appreciate how you train. Neutering really takes the aggression out of dogs behavior . I really appreciate how you explain why you do what you do.
Beautiful dog! I love how powerful Archie is, and how easy you make corrections look. Awesome how Prince handles the situation, smart, calm and without testing Archie. Amazing! Love the session.
Wow at 10:50 when you say “2steps” and they do it simultaneously, that was so cool. I’m sure you saw breakthrough before that but that’s when I saw this dog could really be somethin. What a beautiful boy
I love the owner! This might be the only time I have seen a dog training video (anywhere) with a trick dog and thought to myself, this owner looks like they can actually succeed. Humble, taking instruction, honest and not going into BS defensive mode from the get go. Well done to both trainer and the owner. Hopefully the other owner also got some hands on instruction given what seems like a more passive nature.
IMO - Hands down your BEST video when it comes to dealing with aggression. I’m a big fan of the channel because of your honesty & intentions when it comes to dog training. The shared knowledge and tactics you show us(especially in this video from 9:55 - 13:25) is truly appreciated! You may have uploaded something like this but I would like to see you work with a dog who tends to be okay with larger breeds like himself(barely), but is aggressive with little dogs. I’m working with one like this now who lives with another dog and they get along just fine, but he intimidates every other one he’s see.
Archie running at the beginning and Joel’s commentary killed me! TYSM for sharing your methods of popping the leash low and to the side. I’ve got a powerful reactive dog. Your teachings are so incredibly helpful
Cool collar! He doesn't have a lot of control over his back feet. I'd advice the owners to let him go over agility courses, if they can find them. We don't have them over here, or not very accessible, so I go in the woods and let my dogs walk over fallen trees and narrow things. It takes some creativity sometimes but you develop an eye for it. It's very effective in teaching a dog how to use his body, which together with conquering obstacles builds a lot of confidence. (Not a fix for any issues, but it can help)
Lay an extension ladder on the ground and walk the dog on leash from one end to the other. Dog will learn spatial awareness of hind legs and learn to walk through without bumping rungs. Also builds confidence for anxious dogs. Make it fun and be patient at the beginning if the dog balks or avoids.
I use this same type of thinking taking my dogs to the beach to have to walk or jump from rock to rock, it has made my bulldog have good footwork for what he is. He loves doggie parkour 😂
Picnic tables and children’s play equipment make for some fun enriching play. Making him make his way through all the little obstacles really requires him use his brain and be intentional about his steps! Great confidence building. I don’t think this dog needs much help in the confidence department though.
This reminds me of old school Schutzhund leash work. We used to teach heeling by making 90* turns and popping the lead. Also did military finishes by stepping back with left foot and yanking the dog into position. There's much better methods now but popping a leash is always a good tool as long as the timing is right. Great video and great read on this beast of a dog!
I have a very dominant, poorly socialized 90lb male 1 1/2 year old American bully and this video is incredibly helpful! For the first time this week he has walked (muzzled) with a young male wolf dog and an 8 year old female staffy. He loved it! I look forward to more videos like this- with dogs who are very dominant as opposed to aggressive.
I do the same pull "pop" to correct my dog and it works. He immediately comes back to me, stops and waits or seats. All depending where we are and if there are other dogs around. Proves to those who say this is a bad technique in correcting your dog.
My Buddy (my boxer/lab) reminds me of your Prince, he was the best dog ever. The owner of our local doggie daycare suggested we use Buddy to help socialize dogs who were being trained and that needed help with socialization, he had a really awesome temperament. Super playful, sometimes overly, but not throwing off that dominant challenging energy some do. He would correct another dog if needed but would always back down to a fight, you never had to worry with other dogs near him, a least not about his behavior. He was submissive when it was best he should be. What a really good boy. But that’s also because, besides his naturally awesome temperament, he was also professionally trained at 4 months old. Which helped to bring out the best in him and helped us to understand how be firm and consistent with him. As he got older there was so much less to have to correct, honestly the best dog ever. He passed away last year and we miss him terribly.
Not fair to Prince. How do you think this made him feel , knowing he failed at his job? Dobermans are incredibly sensitive. He probably became depressed over this. Seriously.
Joel is just honest and I can tell in every video that he truly wants these dogs AND their owners to live a great life together and to really try to make these dogs snap out of their negative, out of control behaviors. Just really appreciate how much heart Joel has and puts into the dogs.
If It was for purely positive reinforcing trainers certain dogs couldn't stand a chance and would be put down because they'd give their sentence "UNTRAINABLE".
I totally agree with this training approach for "dominant" big breeds. More forceful training from early puppyhood is most effective but I suspect lots of owners get their fancy big dogs from breeders closer to their mature size and have already begun to "settle" on a temperament. Good training techniques do work but the earliest training and exposure to people, other pets and varied environments is priceless.
I watched a video by a positive reinforcement trainer on how to stop pulling. He never actually said how that would be accomplished. He did say while walking your dog, reward him with treats when he doesn't pull. And make him sit randomly, giving a treat when he does.That was all I got from a 15 min video. It actually occurred to me that this guy really knows nothing about training dogs. He just sounds like he does so people listen to him. You are the best trainer I have seen on you tube. I appreciate you so much.
This reminds me of living and surfing in Hawaii. It was GREAT. But...... sometimes you'd get to the beach and it would be WAY bigger than the forecast. I would do what Prince did. I would try to convince myself it's not too big..... "I really want get friendly with those waves..... but NOPE. Not today." And I would drive to the other side of the island to surf waves that weren't throwing Olympic swimming pools around like a glass of water. Just like Prince did.
He's a big boy, but he's not a bad boy at all. I love that. He looks terrifying, but he listens when he's corrected. I bet he's an amazing dog once he's socialized. I'd never be afraid if I had a dog like that by my side. Such good boy!
So much can be learned from watching Joel! He gives praise to owners when it's due in a way that I actually borrow to praise my students. He's definitely valuable beyond a dog trainer, in the process he happens to be a fine teacher, too.
I have owned bulldogs most of my life and the breed can be very dominant. You start training them as soon as you get them home and don't let them getaway with anything
That is so true for any dog you take on. It will help eliminate a lot of problems before they start. You get things straight at the start as to who is leading who. If you don’t; depending on what the dog is or it’s personality you could end up with a defiant kid you can’t do anything with. So take the time to help and shape them into the dog you want or at least one you can live with.
That part right there. We never owned a dog before, and got a Bulldog. 7lbs of absolute terror when she first came. Full of energy, aggression, and super dominating behavior. I had little time for breaks, and spent my entire summer vacation training her before I went back to school. She grew up really fast and got super strong barely a month in. Even though they're portrayed as lovable goofballs, I highly do not recommend Bulldogs of any kind to first time owners, or owners who think it's gonna be a free ride. They're a lot of work, and have a lot of limitations
This video is such an excellent example of how hard this really is and is probably the reason so many people fail at overcoming this type of issue with a dog.
Love this video! We had American Bulldog and he was very similar to Archie with other dogs. Our boy passed 6 months ago and we are getting another AB in May. Can’t wait to apply your rules Joel! Me and my husband are watching your videos daily! Thank you!
I think Archie is a prime example of why people are scared of dogs. I learned way more than I thought I could here. I've been studying dogs this entire year and now I'm getting better at understanding the information I'm taking in. Thank you
Probably in first world countries dogs are not that scary. I'm scared of dogs because I was bitten by a pack of stray dogs, luckily people saved me. So yeah, I hate dogs when aren't educated.
Wow what a tough dog! This was a great video, so much to see as far as dog behavior is concerned. This guy is definitely a little different than a lot of the other dogs we have seen in your videos. Excellent stuff, thanks to the owners for allowing us to watch the session!
Forgot to add that this video is great info! We will be getting a male Cane Corso pup in about another month, and I am looking forward to putting this info to work as he grows!
I have an adult GSD rescue who became reactive to dogs after we adopted him. (Likely our early hesitancy in clear discipline/feeling sorry for him was the main factor in this behaviour emerging with us.) We found a trainer who adopts a similar framework to yours and are using the 'pop' on a slip lead when walking - the 'sit' correction before the reactive lunge/bark kicks in (And then "eyes on me buddy".) and working on getting him to be watching us as his habitual practice. It is easy to feel some despair with a big dog who is pulling, reactive, lunging and 'on his own walk' all the time. I know plenty of GSD owners who simply don't take their dog out during the day, or have one field out in the countryside where they can walk their dog - avoidance rather than training. Your ideas and methods helped us find a trainer we can SEE results with and our dog is already more settled, paying more attention and better integrated in our life. Thanks Joel.
I absolutely appreciated this video. I also have an Olde Bulldog, and this is one of the biggest issues I have with him. I will continue to monitor this video until I master getting him corrected. Thank you sooo much!
I laughed when you said this dog was from Ghostbusters. Oh yeah, the Zuul the terror dog. Trust your dog Prince as he is your window to the dog world. He’s telling you this dog is to be feared and I sense that in your voice, too. You train many large aggressive dogs but his one is the most terrifying looking dog I’ve ever seen. Powerful, muscular and could dominate( or kill) any dog or human. What a challenge for you and the owners. Good luck.
What a beautiful dog... Great pop and release from the owner.. As Joel mentioned, this dog does have some training, kudo's to the owner.... Also, I think Prince would have held his stance if Joel wouldn't have flicked the leash.. I think Prince took it clue to back off.. Awesome video and I look forward to seeing the transformation.
I “ditto” Lori Anderson. I was noticing Prince lost the stare (sort of flinched) right when Joel flicked the leash over Archie’s nose which made Prince seemed to lose the “dominant dog” stance; if the leash hadn’t been moved right at that time, I’m not sure he would’ve caved to the other dog.
One Hundred Percent - This dog needs the Leadership with zero non sense in order to manage the dominance, if they ever are to have him around other dogs for sure this is the only way, treats or love is surely not the way with Archie. Great session, Joel. Prince walking away was the key to understand what will be the best method to approach this dog. Love the GB reference, okay who brought the dog!
I watched a bulldog for a military service member for a few months and it was one of the most exhausting experiences. He was just like this, lunged and confronted every dog and I just didn't have to capacity to make a difference on my own. He needed extensive professional training like this. I forever take my hat off to any bulldog owners. They are However extremely loyal to their owners and this dog was so sweet to me and my kids. He just could not handle being around other pets at all.
Bull breeds have it hard wired in them to ve animsl aggresive Its a breed characyeristic. Ala vicki hearne? It can be trained. But this why you will see an aggresive mive pop put of them towards a chold or an asult even.. but usually w another ani.al. its just an ingerent characteristic. Ppl who think because theyre sweet? Means they will never exhibit aggresion, ate wrong. because THEY WILL HAVE SPONTANEOUS AGGRESIONS. Its what they are. Genetic driftyou canbteain heck outta dog? But tgere will be gebetic drift back to built in, bred in, behaviors. ;)
I've learned SO much from watching your videos Joel!! One of the surprising things about training a challenging dog is the importance of having confederates, people and / or their dogs who are willing to work with you. Friends, family, neighbors, carefully chosen folks in your local dog park, willing volunteers from a Facebook group. I think somebody could make great strides by setting up and planning train scenarios with helpers and their dogs . You would of course need to be sure your philosophies about training align , and hopefully they'd be familiar with your videos and techniques. I think it's likely that some owners of dogs with challenging behaviors feel the need to do it all on their own when in fact having training buddies can take some of the pressure off as well as offering a fresh set of eyes and a fresh perspective. I'm planning to line up some help before I bring my puppy home.
Only dog I've ever had to rehome was an American Bulldog. He was so protective of our daughter that not even her grandmother could hug her. One time she was being really bad and I told her I was going to spank her if she didn't quit and she called Lui. He came running down the stairs and jumped in front of her. It was real hard to get rid of him because his bad trait was kinda a good trait but our daughter wasn't ready for that kind of responsibility or power.
Hitting a child??? In my country you get jail for that. I have two children of my own and I never raised my hand to any of them... If you can't lead without violence, you shouldn't have neither kids or animals. How the f**k can anyone hit a small child... Wish I could meet you in person...
@@guycalabrese4040 Are you serious? You need to re-read the post. NOBODY is talking about abusing a child. However, it is the duty of the parent to provide guidance, instruction and nurturing. A little slap on the hand provides refocusing, redirection, which leads to obedience. A child should not be allowed to manipulate the structure of parenting. Oh, you DON'T want to meet me in person, I would be your worse nightmare.
@@guycalabrese4040 hard to fear a man that's never been disciplined 🤣🤣🤣! In America we don't eat dog but other countries do. I'm sure there are things in your country we don't do like raising unruly children. She got paddled in school for stealing by her principal in kindergarten. Don't speak on something until you understand it.
Kudos to the responsible owners. I commend their effort to ensure their pup is socially acclimated BEFORE taking him to a potentially dangerous/stimulating environment.
I've been doing this for a few days and it works. I Have a Dogo Argentino and he is dominant, but he is learning though what I've learned in your videos
So thankful I got a Great Dane mix. He is so big that he can physically dominate pretty much any dog, but he is just a big sweet goofus. On a leash he never pulls, and off it he is my shadow.
I've had Great Danes, Boxers, and Rotties and I have used all of these techniques. I would have corrected sooner in most cases with this video but still good.
Very cool video because this is the best I’ve seen an owner step up and handle their dog following your instructions. He did a great job with Archie! And that is one tough dude! I hope they continue with your method as it will definitely make a difference. Love your videos. I just found you about a week ago and I am trying to absorb it all. I have 2 leash reactive little dogs and I think it is harder to deal with sometimes. I am going to try a gentle leader because I hate having to constantly correct them. They are really good other than that and they are worse together but I don’t have time to walk them separately except for days off from work. Hopefully the gentle leader will be the panacea I need. BTW both are rescues that were about 2 years old when I got them. One is now 6 I adopted from a shelter and the other is a new addition that I found abandoned in the middle of a highway. They are fabulous other than that and I have no other problems. Thanks again!
You saved two dogs! When dogs know what they can and can’t do, have boundaries, they are happier. Then you’re going to have two saved and happier dogs. It can't get better than that! 🌟 For training purposes with little dogs, hands and body lower and tamp down corrections. I'm sure you know that, though.
@@User7688.--_ thanks for the advice and I agree 💯! It’s the lower that’s tricky. Lol. My last 5 dogs have been rescues actually. They are so grateful.
INTERESTING!!!! I do not own a dog but came here for the behavior tech. Im a human behaviorist and this is the same tech we use. I saw shaping, pairing, some small ext. moves, some reinforcement, prompting, behavioral momentum but a whole lot of shaping principles at play. VERY COOL!
Great redirection✌️ ❤️ I didn't realize till I was older but when I was a kid I actually was the one that trained our dogs for temperament and house training.
I would never be able to own one of these dogs but my god he is gorgeous and powerful. Such a beautiful animal. I can see why people do own them, but I would not want to handle that level of power if there were a behavioral issue.
This is good common sense advice nice to see how you are helping folks be the leader of their pack. Three great Danes at once i was the pack leader. Miss them. Danes don't live long.
Yeah, he took that coincidence as a sign from you to back away from that behemoth dog. He probably wanted to take a poke at him as well. The initial stare doesnt indicate any signs of backing away except from that leash whirl coincidence.
In March, I adopted an Olde English Bulldog from a couple that had recently gotten back together. The dog had moved out with the woman last year. During the break, the guy rescued 2 pitties. When she and the bulldog moved back in that did not go over well. Luckily, i happened to look on Petfinder and met her that day. I adopted her 3 days later and can’t imagine my life without her now. She’s exactly what I didn’t know I needed. She could easily be an Oscar nominee. When I’m getting ready to leave, she starts limping. She is so well behaved when we’re home alone. When anyone comes in, she’s like a bull in a china shop. I saw another trainer suggest this and it’s helped w guests coming in. I’ve started putting a leash on her before opening the door and keeping my foot on it so she can’t jump up. I’m still not sure of socializing her w other dogs because she can be a beast when it comes to protecting me or my toddler aged nieces.
My male euro dobie is about 105-110 depending on exercise at any given moment. Ive run into a couple huge bullies and even a corso and I was VERY worried as the corso was loose but Ammo maintained dominance on a MUCH bigger dog… but luckily neither really wanted more than a couple sniffs after a tense moment. Luckily that dog seemed well loved and trained; he walked off and turned 20 feet away and watched us walk off. Wonder how ammo would have handled this guy cause he did seemed excessively dominant… but it’s just amazing how well dobies are aligned for this level of work.
Thank you for sharing this great session! I'm kind of new to this channel, and I agree the way you handeled him. Calm/assertive/dominant. I hope more videos will follow, because I need to step up my own game, and I want to learn more. Keep up the great work!
Prince: who is this dude? Archie: what you mean who am I bruh? Prince: this is my house bruh you better slow your roll Archie: what you gone do then come on out here Prince: bruh you know what……I’ll pass 🤣😂😂😂😂🤣 Love Prince
Love your videos, it’s like my dog had an “aha” moment the first time I used your loose leash method. I have a question in regards to reactivity to other dogs: how do I tell the difference between (apprehensive) curiosity, versus building up to react? At what point should I do something to prevent or correct a reaction?
You have to try to understand what is going through your dogs mind. If your dog is trying to be aggressive or too playful/rude/pulling on the leash then that is when you correct them. If they are thinking about doing something and you correct whilst they are restraining themselves from taking action, then they are going to think that holding back is wrong
Prince was like: "You are not paying me enough to do this."
Absolute star.
Good one! haha
“I need to check if my health insurance is still active”
The kibble isn’t payment enough
HAhahaha 😄
Prince chooses his battles wisely. He's a smart, good doggy.
Prince was like, "I'm calling in sick today." and you were like, "you got it buddy." I hope I am always blessed with this type of relationship with my pack.
This made me laugh so hard :D
Lmfao 🤣😂😂😭

My goodness, that dog is an absolute unit, he must have been a terror before he got neutered. I've never seen Prince not pee on the fence. It's incredible seeing Prince's little dog brain assess the situation and say, "NOPE! I don't want any of that business."
Right? Prince never backs down that I’ve ever seen before. So you know he knows something we don’t lol
@@TheBehm08 I don't think it's ever happened in one of Joel's videos.
I remember him being wary of that dominant female pitbull
Smart dog for sure
The neutering will probably make him worse
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
Prince said you’re on your own today Dad.
a sign of intelligence, understanding risks will keep you safe, idiot people and dogs put themselves into dangerous situations !
And the best thing is Joel listened to him.
I had an Olde English Bulldog, sadly he passed away from cancer after 5 years but he had the most personality of any dog I've ever had/seen. So sweet and smart.
Sounds like a great dog, my heart goes out to you. sorry you didn't get to spend more time with him
@@clemdoggmillionaire9914 Thanks. It's all about the memories we create with them for sure. I was lucky to have him in my life.
I’m so sorry, just got our first OEB in January, she’s 6 months and her stubbornness it’s out of this world lmao
Holy crap that dog is built like a freight train! He actually looks like the dog version of a bull, minus the horns. Handsome fella, looks very fit, too, not overweight. Great video as always, Joel.
The owner did a great job. He’s a tough dog and the owner followed through. Nice job owner!
The truth is that he’s an actual bull dog, he’s got the size and character to go with his breed 💪, and he like socks 🤷♂️ Obviously not going to be an easy dog to train but it’s so nice to see the process 💪 great video
Dont get a bulldog when you dont want a agresief dog stupid people
Why so many emoji’s?
mine used to bite feet, got most of the traits out of him but yes, he doesnt and wont tollerate any one coming into the house i have to crate him.he will sit leave doesnt bite toes feet or socks anymore.cant walk him he draggs me down the road and my old fella wont walk him either, but i love him and his fat farty ass. he will do what hes told in the house.he has finally liked the cats he hated them but gees hes a shit gets on well with the other dogs now supervsed esp weirldy the tiny chihuahua that wont take any messing or cheek off him. they are really difficult dogs to own. he was 4 months going on 5 and was really cheap for one of those breeds in the uk. the little sod was nuts, bit us playing and was crazy.the old fella said i love him you can sort him out. my head said no hes nuts thats why hes for sale so cheap. heart said gees i can maybe and weve come all this way to buy him. after having bullmastiffs a ddb and a boxer a pitbull xs s ell as other breeds small to large over the years i said yes, we took him home. he is the dog of nightmares, i love him to bits but dread the day when we have to take him to the vets.would love to do a dna test to see what crazy mix of breeds these olde tyme and bulldogs are.when he was a pup he had beautifull green eyes, now there hazel looking
my pic in my profile was him as a puppy.hes huge anyone doing any free or cheap good dna tests let me know x
Very well said.... I dont get the logic in getting a real Bulldog (Olde,Rennaisance) just to try to make him a Beta male Dog
Very informative, best one yet . And I love how honest he was and not always praising or saying his dog is the best. But instead explained the situation and kept teaching
Archie is a gorgeous bulldog. Bulldog's are stubborn and too smart for their own good !! Also very strong. I love how you can read a dog. Watching the corrections are always very helpful.
Is he olde english bulldogge?
Not stubborn stupid. Thought process is slow.
Smart....not really. At some point the just hit a wall compared to other breeds.
Smart ??? Lmaoo you haven’t seen a smart dog
@@paulashe61 they're daft but definitely not stupid, stubborn they certainly are !
What a beautiful bulldog! The confidence in that beast is top notch.
Thank you for actually posting full videos of your methods. These methods are pretty identical to how I have naturally raised my dog, but I'm still working with him on a few things and all these trainers want you to book with them, so they don't post how they actually get the result. Well, I'm not in CA or TX and I don't have money for a trainer so I just genuinely appreciate a trainer who actually knows what they're doing and posts the entire process. Thanks again from my doberman and I.
"We already booked 3 more visits"
😂👍🏻
Prince: 😮
Love seeing the body language explained and coaching/empowering the owners with specifics. The loose leash walking definitely has improved my life (2 pits & a golden) . Beckman FTW🐾❤️
‘Empowering’ the owners to not destroying the dog’s psyche any more.
@@paulashe61 more like not destroying peoples arms anymore
Because I watched Ceser I knew how to walk my brother's huge dog,he would pull everyone down the sidewalk on a ten foot leash when they took him out,well when I took the leash I told him he was going to listen to me in a quiet voice too,I didn't raise my voice once at him,I stayed calm and in control!
I made him stop before we walked through the threshold and would only let him out after me,and after one pull I corrected him after that he was good!
Not once did he pull me after that,he knew not to try and walk out before me after just one time,the rest of the people that tried to walk him didn't let him know who was boss or give him credit when he did what he was told..
I'm 5'3 and 125 lbs,his dog weighed more then me and came up to my waist!
Oh and btw I've taught three kitties to fetch...lol 😻
Legendary dog/cat whisperer 😂.
That is a powerful dog. I’m glad his owners are working with Joel to develop the skills necessary to work with their dog.
He is so beautiful. Thank you for helping his owners. I hope they’ve made good progress with him.
I love, love your training methods. No one criticizing you knows what they are talking about. Not all dogs are as gentle as a stuffed animal, which only positive training seems to believe. I would not have been able to keep my rescue dog without your teachings. Major issues melt away when a person follows your teaching and training methods. I thank you and my rescue dog thanks you. You are our hero, "We can do this all day"❤
“...melt away...” Exactly!
Yeah, R+ is extremely annoying. Whenever I get in an argument I always ask “Do you believe dogs bite, growl, or bark when scared? If so, why is it wrong to bite, growl, or bark at them when they’re trying to scare you?”. Once you confront someone with logic suddenly the break down.
I suppose it’s sorta like how vegans don’t realize that animals eat each other.
You're a great trainer. I HATE people who think these big dogs should be coddled. When my Dane was a year and over 100lbs, not snipped and full of testosterone, coddling him would have never worked. He was very protective but the instant I said "No" or "It's okay" it's like a light switch was flipped, his demeanor changed, body language and I instantly knew it was all good and I let the people know that, either guest in our house or other owners at Dog parks. He only got into one fight and it was an aggressive German Shepherd who's owner didn't care two $hits, my boy Apollo put him on his back and then walked away. The shepherd kept coming and I had to call for the owner because that dog was about to get hurt. Outside that, he played with Chihuahuas to Pitbulls to Hound Dogs, Curs and even kittens. Usually his trigger was other men in the house, but like I said once I said "No, it's okay" (like he actually spoke English, so weird Lol) he dropped the attitude and was loving playful. I miss that boy so much... RIP APOLLO
Great Danes are real nice dogs
The thing is people today are soft, if these videos were done in the 80s everyone would have agreed with him, but now people are so soft that you're not allowed to accidentally step on ants......
Really enjoyed you being honest that this is an expensive problem. Owners are 100% up to it but working with strong dogs can get expensive.
I appreciate a trainer that is actually realistic, I used to train my dogs in a very primal way. In short I acted like a dog, but was very kind when there was no warrant for a correction. But, I have alot to learn about behavioral psychology in a dog.
I'm studying dog behaviour at the moment and these videos are invaluable. As well as you explaining it i'm actually starting to see the behaviours and recognise the signs and body language before they happen. Fantastic work you're doing and getting real results as there is absolutely no way purely positive training can get results as good as your methods. Giving the dog direction and being the boss to look to for guidance is deffo the best training method expecially with larger stubborn breeds that will push your buttons and keep testing you!
Yah these dog types don’t listen to verbal cues they need the physical to go with the verbal cues. You can even see it in his sneeze fuck yous. That dog knows it’s dominant and it needs some serious discipline to know it’s not the boss. Defiantly needs more than a gentle leader. Prong collar would do more good. Not trying to be mean that dog just doesn’t feel shit.
You advocate a prong collar and you swea .ive had dogs my entire long life never would i put a prong collar on one. Some of my dogs were terribly difficult turned out wonderful. Prong colors are cruel and those who use them are stupid lazy and ignorant on dog nature.
I’m a dog lover and really appreciate how you train. Neutering really takes the aggression out of dogs behavior . I really appreciate how you explain why you do what you do.
Beautiful dog! I love how powerful Archie is, and how easy you make corrections look. Awesome how Prince handles the situation, smart, calm and without testing Archie. Amazing! Love the session.
Wow at 10:50 when you say “2steps” and they do it simultaneously, that was so cool. I’m sure you saw breakthrough before that but that’s when I saw this dog could really be somethin. What a beautiful boy
Prince like ahhh I’m calling out today thanks buddy 🤷♂️
Lmao ! Great comment.
I love the owner! This might be the only time I have seen a dog training video (anywhere) with a trick dog and thought to myself, this owner looks like they can actually succeed. Humble, taking instruction, honest and not going into BS defensive mode from the get go. Well done to both trainer and the owner. Hopefully the other owner also got some hands on instruction given what seems like a more passive nature.
IMO - Hands down your BEST video when it comes to dealing with aggression. I’m a big fan of the channel because of your honesty & intentions when it comes to dog training. The shared knowledge and tactics you show us(especially in this video from
9:55 - 13:25) is truly appreciated!
You may have uploaded something like this but I would like to see you work with a dog who tends to be okay with larger breeds like himself(barely), but is aggressive with little dogs. I’m working with one like this now who lives with another dog and they get along just fine, but he intimidates every other one he’s see.
Safe exposure and lots of desensitization work.
Maybe predations, somtimes when big dog are agressive with small breed it‘s because they consider them like a prey.
Archie running at the beginning and Joel’s commentary killed me! TYSM for sharing your methods of popping the leash low and to the side. I’ve got a powerful reactive dog. Your teachings are so incredibly helpful
Cool collar! He doesn't have a lot of control over his back feet. I'd advice the owners to let him go over agility courses, if they can find them. We don't have them over here, or not very accessible, so I go in the woods and let my dogs walk over fallen trees and narrow things. It takes some creativity sometimes but you develop an eye for it. It's very effective in teaching a dog how to use his body, which together with conquering obstacles builds a lot of confidence. (Not a fix for any issues, but it can help)
Oh like backwards walking over pvc pipes.
Lay an extension ladder on the ground and walk the dog on leash from one end to the other. Dog will learn spatial awareness of hind legs and learn to walk through without bumping rungs. Also builds confidence for anxious dogs. Make it fun and be patient at the beginning if the dog balks or avoids.
The best dog is a tired dog, anyway you get him tired is good!
I use this same type of thinking taking my dogs to the beach to have to walk or jump from rock to rock, it has made my bulldog have good footwork for what he is. He loves doggie parkour 😂
Picnic tables and children’s play equipment make for some fun enriching play. Making him make his way through all the little obstacles really requires him use his brain and be intentional about his steps! Great confidence building. I don’t think this dog needs much help in the confidence department though.
This reminds me of old school Schutzhund leash work. We used to teach heeling by making 90* turns and popping the lead. Also did military finishes by stepping back with left foot and yanking the dog into position. There's much better methods now but popping a leash is always a good tool as long as the timing is right. Great video and great read on this beast of a dog!
I have a very dominant, poorly socialized 90lb male 1 1/2 year old American bully and this video is incredibly helpful! For the first time this week he has walked (muzzled) with a young male wolf dog and an 8 year old female staffy. He loved it! I look forward to more videos like this- with dogs who are very dominant as opposed to aggressive.
I do the same pull "pop" to correct my dog and it works. He immediately comes back to me, stops and waits or seats. All depending where we are and if there are other dogs around.
Proves to those who say this is a bad technique in correcting your dog.
My Buddy (my boxer/lab) reminds me of your Prince, he was the best dog ever. The owner of our local doggie daycare suggested we use Buddy to help socialize dogs who were being trained and that needed help with socialization, he had a really awesome temperament. Super playful, sometimes overly, but not throwing off that dominant challenging energy some do. He would correct another dog if needed but would always back down to a fight, you never had to worry with other dogs near him, a least not about his behavior. He was submissive when it was best he should be. What a really good boy. But that’s also because, besides his naturally awesome temperament, he was also professionally trained at 4 months old. Which helped to bring out the best in him and helped us to understand how be firm and consistent with him. As he got older there was so much less to have to correct, honestly the best dog ever. He passed away last year and we miss him terribly.
Aww. Sorry to hear. You had a good boy.
rip he’s looking down from up there ❤
Sorry for your loss 🙏
Not fair to Prince. How do you think this made him feel , knowing he failed at his job? Dobermans are incredibly sensitive. He probably became depressed over this. Seriously.
Joel is just honest and I can tell in every video that he truly wants these dogs AND their owners to live a great life together and to really try to make these dogs snap out of their negative, out of control behaviors.
Just really appreciate how much heart Joel has and puts into the dogs.
If It was for purely positive reinforcing trainers certain dogs couldn't stand a chance and would be put down because they'd give their sentence "UNTRAINABLE".
Biggest reason why I love training, helping keepers overcome the smaller issues that lead up to the big problems. Love your channel!
I totally agree with this training approach for "dominant" big breeds. More forceful training from early puppyhood is most effective but I suspect lots of owners get their fancy big dogs from breeders closer to their mature size and have already begun to "settle" on a temperament. Good training techniques do work but the earliest training and exposure to people, other pets and varied environments is priceless.
I watched a video by a positive reinforcement trainer on how to stop pulling. He never actually said how that would be accomplished. He did say while walking your dog, reward him with treats when he doesn't pull. And make him sit randomly, giving a treat when he does.That was all I got from a 15 min video. It actually occurred to me that this guy really knows nothing about training dogs. He just sounds like he does so people listen to him. You are the best trainer I have seen on you tube. I appreciate you so much.
With some dogs positive reinforcement by itself doesn’t work, and a lot of people don’t understand that. Lol
I can't get past how beautiful this big boy is.
This reminds me of living and surfing in Hawaii. It was GREAT. But...... sometimes you'd get to the beach and it would be WAY bigger than the forecast. I would do what Prince did. I would try to convince myself it's not too big..... "I really want get friendly with those waves..... but NOPE. Not today." And I would drive to the other side of the island to surf waves that weren't throwing Olympic swimming pools around like a glass of water. Just like Prince did.
6ft in Hawaii is like 20 ft on the mainland. At least it seems like that.
I think Hawaii measures wave size differently too.
He's a big boy, but he's not a bad boy at all. I love that. He looks terrifying, but he listens when he's corrected. I bet he's an amazing dog once he's socialized. I'd never be afraid if I had a dog like that by my side. Such good boy!
So much can be learned from watching Joel! He gives praise to owners when it's due in a way that I actually borrow to praise my students. He's definitely valuable beyond a dog trainer, in the process he happens to be a fine teacher, too.
i've realized this information applies to humans too.
Speaking of myself.
I have owned bulldogs most of my life and the breed can be very dominant. You start training them as soon as you get them home and don't let them getaway with anything
That is so true for any dog you take on. It will help eliminate a lot of problems before they start. You get things straight at the start as to who is leading who. If you don’t; depending on what the dog is or it’s personality you could end up with a defiant kid you can’t do anything with. So take the time to help and shape them into the dog you want or at least one you can live with.
That part right there. We never owned a dog before, and got a Bulldog. 7lbs of absolute terror when she first came. Full of energy, aggression, and super dominating behavior. I had little time for breaks, and spent my entire summer vacation training her before I went back to school. She grew up really fast and got super strong barely a month in. Even though they're portrayed as lovable goofballs, I highly do not recommend Bulldogs of any kind to first time owners, or owners who think it's gonna be a free ride. They're a lot of work, and have a lot of limitations
What a specimen! Big burly bully! Reminds me of "spike" in the Bugs Bunny cartoons 😂
This video is such an excellent example of how hard this really is and is probably the reason so many people fail at overcoming this type of issue with a dog.
Love this video! We had American Bulldog and he was very similar to Archie with other dogs. Our boy passed 6 months ago and we are getting another AB in May. Can’t wait to apply your rules Joel! Me and my husband are watching your videos daily! Thank you!
I think Archie is a prime example of why people are scared of dogs. I learned way more than I thought I could here. I've been studying dogs this entire year and now I'm getting better at understanding the information I'm taking in. Thank you
Probably in first world countries dogs are not that scary. I'm scared of dogs because I was bitten by a pack of stray dogs, luckily people saved me. So yeah, I hate dogs when aren't educated.
@@ClaimedEagle jeez dude that sounds fucked. im glad you got help
Wow what a tough dog! This was a great video, so much to see as far as dog behavior is concerned. This guy is definitely a little different than a lot of the other dogs we have seen in your videos. Excellent stuff, thanks to the owners for allowing us to watch the session!
You are undoubtedly the best dog trainer I have ever seen. Dogs have to know the handler/owner is the boss and dogs sense that in you immediately
Archie is a lovely dog! So handsome, and such a pretty chocolate color! This family is dedicated, and they will make it work with that tank of a doggo
Forgot to add that this video is great info! We will be getting a male Cane Corso pup in about another month, and I am looking forward to putting this info to work as he grows!
I have an adult GSD rescue who became reactive to dogs after we adopted him. (Likely our early hesitancy in clear discipline/feeling sorry for him was the main factor in this behaviour emerging with us.) We found a trainer who adopts a similar framework to yours and are using the 'pop' on a slip lead when walking - the 'sit' correction before the reactive lunge/bark kicks in (And then "eyes on me buddy".) and working on getting him to be watching us as his habitual practice. It is easy to feel some despair with a big dog who is pulling, reactive, lunging and 'on his own walk' all the time. I know plenty of GSD owners who simply don't take their dog out during the day, or have one field out in the countryside where they can walk their dog - avoidance rather than training. Your ideas and methods helped us find a trainer we can SEE results with and our dog is already more settled, paying more attention and better integrated in our life. Thanks Joel.
He got better in just that little time. So interesting! Thank you!
I absolutely appreciated this video. I also have an Olde Bulldog, and this is one of the biggest issues I have with him. I will continue to monitor this video until I master getting him corrected. Thank you sooo much!
I laughed when you said this dog was from Ghostbusters. Oh yeah, the Zuul the terror dog. Trust your dog Prince as he is your window to the dog world. He’s telling you this dog is to be feared and I sense that in your voice, too. You train many large aggressive dogs but his one is the most terrifying looking dog I’ve ever seen. Powerful, muscular and could dominate( or kill) any dog or human. What a challenge for you and the owners. Good luck.
Damn that’s a gorgeous bulldog… Mike Tyson reference is spot on!
What a beautiful dog... Great pop and release from the owner.. As Joel mentioned, this dog does have some training, kudo's to the owner.... Also, I think Prince would have held his stance if Joel wouldn't have flicked the leash.. I think Prince took it clue to back off.. Awesome video and I look forward to seeing the transformation.
I “ditto” Lori Anderson. I was noticing Prince lost the stare (sort of flinched) right when Joel flicked the leash over Archie’s nose which made Prince seemed to lose the “dominant dog” stance; if the leash hadn’t been moved right at that time, I’m not sure he would’ve caved to the other dog.
That dog responds so quickly to the corrections. He catches on fast.
One Hundred Percent - This dog needs the Leadership with zero non sense in order to manage the dominance, if they ever are to have him around other dogs for sure this is the only way, treats or love is surely not the way with Archie. Great session, Joel. Prince walking away was the key to understand what will be the best method to approach this dog. Love the GB reference, okay who brought the dog!
I watched a bulldog for a military service member for a few months and it was one of the most exhausting experiences. He was just like this, lunged and confronted every dog and I just didn't have to capacity to make a difference on my own. He needed extensive professional training like this. I forever take my hat off to any bulldog owners. They are However extremely loyal to their owners and this dog was so sweet to me and my kids. He just could not handle being around other pets at all.
Bull breeds have it hard wired in them to ve animsl aggresive
Its a breed characyeristic.
Ala vicki hearne? It can be trained. But this why you will see an aggresive mive pop put of them towards a chold or an asult even.. but usually w another ani.al. its just an ingerent characteristic.
Ppl who think because theyre sweet? Means they will never exhibit aggresion, ate wrong. because THEY WILL HAVE SPONTANEOUS AGGRESIONS. Its what they are.
Genetic driftyou canbteain heck outta dog? But tgere will be gebetic drift back to built in, bred in, behaviors. ;)
I've learned SO much from watching your videos Joel!! One of the surprising things about training a challenging dog is the importance of having confederates, people and / or their dogs who are willing to work with you. Friends, family, neighbors, carefully chosen folks in your local dog park, willing volunteers from a Facebook group. I think somebody could make great strides by setting up and planning train scenarios with helpers and their dogs . You would of course need to be sure your philosophies about training align , and hopefully they'd be familiar with your videos and techniques. I think it's likely that some owners of dogs with challenging behaviors feel the need to do it all on their own when in fact having training buddies can take some of the pressure off as well as offering a fresh set of eyes and a fresh perspective. I'm planning to line up some help before I bring my puppy home.
Great comment. 🌟 People have asked how do they meet other dogs for training.
What a thoughtful thing to do!
Only dog I've ever had to rehome was an American Bulldog. He was so protective of our daughter that not even her grandmother could hug her. One time she was being really bad and I told her I was going to spank her if she didn't quit and she called Lui. He came running down the stairs and jumped in front of her. It was real hard to get rid of him because his bad trait was kinda a good trait but our daughter wasn't ready for that kind of responsibility or power.
Glad you had the sense to know
Your decision probably saved your life.
Hitting a child??? In my country you get jail for that. I have two children of my own and I never raised my hand to any of them... If you can't lead without violence, you shouldn't have neither kids or animals.
How the f**k can anyone hit a small child... Wish I could meet you in person...
@@guycalabrese4040 Are you serious? You need to re-read the post. NOBODY is talking about abusing a child. However, it is the duty of the parent to provide guidance, instruction and nurturing. A little slap on the hand provides refocusing, redirection, which leads to obedience. A child should not be allowed to manipulate the structure of parenting. Oh, you DON'T want to meet me in person, I would be your worse nightmare.
@@guycalabrese4040 hard to fear a man that's never been disciplined 🤣🤣🤣! In America we don't eat dog but other countries do. I'm sure there are things in your country we don't do like raising unruly children. She got paddled in school for stealing by her principal in kindergarten. Don't speak on something until you understand it.
Kudos to the responsible owners. I commend their effort to ensure their pup is socially acclimated BEFORE taking him to a potentially dangerous/stimulating environment.
If they were responsible owners they would not have bought a breed like this.
Best session I've seen so far to help me with my reactive dog which doesn't engage when I correct him. Lots to work on with my technique. Thanks Joel.
I've been doing this for a few days and it works. I Have a Dogo Argentino and he is dominant, but he is learning though what I've learned in your videos
Dogos are such a powerful breed and get such a bad and undeserved reputation. Good on you for tackling his training.
how big?
This was a good one. My dog is 160 and I learned a lot. Much thanks from Oregon
160 Jezuz chrst 😳
Prince was like ... I'll pass and I don't blame him, but if Princes instincts say no way that's not a good sign, but what a gorgeous brute of a dog.
I’m super late but I’ve noticed that he reinforces the owners as well as the dogs. And that’s awesome.
You are the toughest guy on the block, luckily the dogs didn't see you with the Schnauzer they'd probably giggled
I have 2 Old English Bulldogs. They are a mix of T-Rex and Donkey. Loyal to the Family but a pain in the ass with other dogs.We love them.
So thankful I got a Great Dane mix. He is so big that he can physically dominate pretty much any dog, but he is just a big sweet goofus. On a leash he never pulls, and off it he is my shadow.
I don’t even have a dog but can’t stop watching these
Prince was cautious because that dog is not only strong but he's a smart boy as well.
I've had Great Danes, Boxers, and Rotties and I have used all of these techniques. I would have corrected sooner in most cases with this video but still good.
Wow. This guy makes my APBT look scrawny! Good on Prince for tapping out. He’s the boss, but he ain’t stupid! 🤣
Wow, amazing to see the degree of self control that dog gains in such a short space of time.
Very cool video because this is the best I’ve seen an owner step up and handle their dog following your instructions. He did a great job with Archie! And that is one tough dude! I hope they continue with your method as it will definitely make a difference.
Love your videos. I just found you about a week ago and I am trying to absorb it all. I have 2 leash reactive little dogs and I think it is harder to deal with sometimes. I am going to try a gentle leader because I hate having to constantly correct them. They are really good other than that and they are worse together but I don’t have time to walk them separately except for days off from work. Hopefully the gentle leader will be the panacea I need. BTW both are rescues that were about 2 years old when I got them. One is now 6 I adopted from a shelter and the other is a new addition that I found abandoned in the middle of a highway. They are fabulous other than that and I have no other problems. Thanks again!
You saved two dogs! When dogs know what they can and can’t do, have boundaries, they are happier. Then you’re going to have two saved and happier dogs. It can't get better than that! 🌟
For training purposes with little dogs, hands and body lower and tamp down corrections. I'm sure you know that, though.
@@User7688.--_ thanks for the advice and I agree 💯! It’s the lower that’s tricky. Lol.
My last 5 dogs have been rescues actually. They are so grateful.
Your videos are SO HELPFUL! I have a 4 mth old English Springer & I look after my daughter’s 4 yo rottie during the summer.... he is the challenge.
Any future videos with this dog? Seriously wanna see how you'll deal with him in his progression?
Hell yea. I want to see every session with this dog recorded.
INTERESTING!!!! I do not own a dog but came here for the behavior tech. Im a human behaviorist and this is the same tech we use. I saw shaping, pairing, some small ext. moves, some reinforcement, prompting, behavioral momentum but a whole lot of shaping principles at play. VERY COOL!
THAT DOG IS STUNNING 😍.
Great redirection✌️ ❤️ I didn't realize till I was older but when I was a kid I actually was the one that trained our dogs for temperament and house training.
That dog is a BEAST!!!
I would never be able to own one of these dogs but my god he is gorgeous and powerful. Such a beautiful animal. I can see why people do own them, but I would not want to handle that level of power if there were a behavioral issue.
The doggy dad is English! I'm English and it was odd hear an English accent on the video! Yay! Brits love Beckmans too! 🇬🇧
This is good common sense advice nice to see how you are helping folks be the leader of their pack. Three great Danes at once i was the pack leader. Miss them. Danes don't live long.
The leash whip you did at 4:54 is what made Prince become uninterested and back down. He took that as a no from your end and started chilling.
Yeah, he took that coincidence as a sign from you to back away from that behemoth dog. He probably wanted to take a poke at him as well. The initial stare doesnt indicate any signs of backing away except from that leash whirl coincidence.
on point
In March, I adopted an Olde English Bulldog from a couple that had recently gotten back together. The dog had moved out with the woman last year. During the break, the guy rescued 2 pitties. When she and the bulldog moved back in that did not go over well. Luckily, i happened to look on Petfinder and met her that day. I adopted her 3 days later and can’t imagine my life without her now. She’s exactly what I didn’t know I needed. She could easily be an Oscar nominee. When I’m getting ready to leave, she starts limping. She is so well behaved when we’re home alone. When anyone comes in, she’s like a bull in a china shop. I saw another trainer suggest this and it’s helped w guests coming in. I’ve started putting a leash on her before opening the door and keeping my foot on it so she can’t jump up. I’m still not sure of socializing her w other dogs because she can be a beast when it comes to protecting me or my toddler aged nieces.
That's the nicest looking Old Bulldog I've ever seen. Beautiful Dog
Olde Bulldogge
Dogs meeting Archie: You work out much? 😳
My male euro dobie is about 105-110 depending on exercise at any given moment. Ive run into a couple huge bullies and even a corso and I was VERY worried as the corso was loose but Ammo maintained dominance on a MUCH bigger dog… but luckily neither really wanted more than a couple sniffs after a tense moment. Luckily that dog seemed well loved and trained; he walked off and turned 20 feet away and watched us walk off.
Wonder how ammo would have handled this guy cause he did seemed excessively dominant… but it’s just amazing how well dobies are aligned for this level of work.
Thank you for sharing this great session! I'm kind of new to this channel, and I agree the way you handeled him. Calm/assertive/dominant. I hope more videos will follow, because I need to step up my own game, and I want to learn more. Keep up the great work!
What a gorgeous boy. Great job correcting him 👍
Prince: who is this dude?
Archie: what you mean who am I bruh?
Prince: this is my house bruh you better slow your roll
Archie: what you gone do then come on out here
Prince: bruh you know what……I’ll pass
🤣😂😂😂😂🤣
Love Prince
I've never seen a Bulldog like this one,he's beautiful
Love your videos, it’s like my dog had an “aha” moment the first time I used your loose leash method. I have a question in regards to reactivity to other dogs: how do I tell the difference between (apprehensive) curiosity, versus building up to react? At what point should I do something to prevent or correct a reaction?
You have to try to understand what is going through your dogs mind. If your dog is trying to be aggressive or too playful/rude/pulling on the leash then that is when you correct them. If they are thinking about doing something and you correct whilst they are restraining themselves from taking action, then they are going to think that holding back is wrong
what a beautiful bulldog, great head and colour... hope you manged it to show him who is the boss and how to behave !
Wow, that bulldog is serious business. He unsettled Prince. He seems fine around people, hopefully he can be socialised to other dogs.
