Joel, 8 months ago I was completely lost with my dog. I considered giving him back, because I was so out of my element. Your videos and inspiration on consistency in training absolutely saved our relationship. My dog is now a joy for others to be around, he listens when I give him instruction, and his recall is close to 100.0%. Thank you a million, Joel.
@@professorm3136 i got him when he was just over a year old, and he will be two in March. high energy hunting/working breed, catahoula leopard. with other dogs around / playing, I may have to call two or more times to get his attention (after three calls, I am on top of him and pulling his butt to where I said he needs to be). but once he knows I've asked him to do something he realizes it simply isn't worth it to resist. Joel calls it learned helplessness, and it absolutely works.
Your comment is the soul main reason why Mr. Beckman trains.. is to help owners and their dogs become the best companions.. I'm impressed with your tenacity and desire to seek out the help and not just give up on another, like so many others do.. Several years ahead, you will be looking at your wonderful dog (best friend) and say...I cant believe I almost gave you away..
I am at that point now. He does so well until another dog is coming by. And the walks are terrible. He does well for a while then he jerks and dashes to a mailbox to smell and pee. I am besides myself with him.
This 15 minute video has done more for me than a $1400 training program. We flunked out of sit means sit. Do not recommend for small dogs, or at least sensitive little demons like mine. I could write a mini thesis on all the reasons that was the wrong program for us and how ripped off I feel...but....3 twenty minute sessions of practicing this and I have a pug who comes when she's called. We will continue to work on this a ton, because out of ALL the things I want my dog to mind me on, this is the #1 most important. THANK YOU.
Thank you for posting this. My son was going to spend big $ for a training course. I think we can do it with these vids, since he just has a 7lb. little cane corso pup. Good luck with your pug.
Cane corsos are NO JOKE when it comes to training, so whatever you decide, I hope your son follows through diligently. Only 7 lbs? Is it a newborn? lol That said, that program was not the right fit for us by any means. I don't need to have my pug face me on a platform, walk on different surfaces, or have her head hang down and tail uncurl whenever I put that damned collar on (the trainer told me a 6 mo old puppy was "manipulating" me by getting scared and unhappy over an e-collar that scared her). I just need her to come when she's called and poop outside (and we handled that part already). Worked great for my son's lab, was like flushing money down the toilet for me. Literally just called her from downstairs, across the house, and she came running at top speed.
This guy is so far ahead of all the other "ideas" about dog training. Results. Control. Repeatable techniques. Super impressive. I learn something every time I watch.
What I really like about this video is that it shows real-world situations not just a perfectly trained dog who has already has mastered the command. I have a 6-yr-old rescue, who is very good natured, gregarious, and very high-energy. He has had some very good professional training, but "Come" is not something that he knows or simply chooses to ignore. I have already started him today, incorporating what is shown here. He is highly food-motivated and bright, so hopefully he will grasp the concept quickly.
@@ricky7892 I also haven't tried combining treats with the correction, which is my fault. I need to do that. But he is a former stray, a rescue, and very independently minded.
I think you're doing something here that some people may not notice. You're giving Cooper a release. You're telling him when it's ok to go do his own thing. So it's much more clear to him when you need him back because it's so different than when you turn him loose to play. It's very cool. You're so clear on "hey I need you to come", then "hey, we're done, you can go play with your buddy." I LOVE THIS!
Except when you’re in “Training mode”, if you want the dog to Learn, you need to have him “ FOCUSED, And NOT distracted, …. especialy for the first several Sessions! You can start to introduce this, “with” distractions “after” he’s learned the command… ! If not you’re just gonna overwhel the dog! Also, this is an older dog too, so that is why he’s able to get it a bit faster than say, a smaller puppy …. you shouldn’t wait until a dog is that old to teach recall though … !
Yep! You don’t want a dog vaguely wondering when he or she is allowed to resume other activities, and definitely don’t want to set a pattern where they just have to decide for themselves. That key about making sure to grab the harness so they don’t just dine and dash plays into that nicely, lol. And I noticed that Cooper also seemed to respond more quickly to the release signal as the video progressed, like he was gaining a stronger understanding of what the cue meant. 😃👌
You are a legend boss! 😁 I tried this on my 2 year old dog, who I had given up on come recall. She kept running away from me the moment I tried grabbing her collar. But I made sure I chased her down and brought her back to the same place. Three times and the fourth time she let me grab her collar without any issues. And she walked down two floors when I said come. Super win! Just in 15 minutes. I need to do this everyday. Thanks a ton!!!
Great - key is consistency to ALWAYS following up ! NEVER give a command or ask something that you won’t follow up on if it’s ignored - wilfully, for fun or b/c of distraction . When training, I keep a 6 ft. leash on, even in the house so I can easily get & retrieve. Any training like stay/sit/down etc .. NEEDS to be followed up on after the FIRST command/ask .. don’t repeat command .. dog becomes lazy b/c there’s no immediate follow up. Always follow through - that is the borders//boundaries. Allowing them to KNOW what you expect from them.. where they fit in the pack - happy dog ❣️
Joel, I’m a first time dog owner @ 63. I have a 8 month old Aussiedoodle… That does not step off of my curb , when I point my finger to the ground next to me “ cue “ He comes and sits right next to me . he 99.9% of the time comes to me when I call him. My neighbors are completely blown away about what a well trained dog I have and we are just beginning .this is all because I’ve been watching you for the six months I’ve had this dog. THANK YOU
That is Awesome!!! They are amazing 🤩😊 Healer's for US. Glad to have found this site. We just started today 12-29-22 .....thank you. I am hoping to find the right video to control his ... Becoming a Transformer into a BullDozer with me in tow .... He is so very strong!
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ruclips.net/user/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
I'm of the opinion that the "stay" command does more harm than good. Every command should have an unspoken "stay" attached to it. The dog should maintain their command until given the "break" command. Our break command is "free" but it's the same thing. With that said, we did use "stay" when the puppy was very young, but phased it out as soon as he understood what was expected.
I love your sharp tone assertive method. It 100% conveys clear vocabulary any dog can easily learn. The less people confuse their dog with word salad the faster they can be successful.
I have trained recall with dogs that I only have 1hr with daily, the fact that they understand the pitch and the comprehension shows that these methods truly work - Many times people at the dog park think they are my dogs when in fact I only give them leadership, which is all they need to have consistent recall - Well done, Joel.
I love that you showed a dog that isn’t just perfectly doing what you say! Much more realistic than other videos which just show an already perfectly trained animal 😅 thanks!
I watch his show every saturday and bought the book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq because i like his method. He's very talktative in the book about his dog training experiences with several different breeds over the years. When he does get to the training chapters, you need to read more slowly, take mental or written notes and try to apply his advice to your pet. That's where i'm at now. Another review is in order aftet i've trained my blue mountain shepherd with brandon mcmillan's method.
My 2 year old beagle mix is highly intelligent but has NEVER come to us when called. This method literally worked in 2 minutes. Just the “pop” in come made all the difference and stopped him dead in his tracks and he came straight to me. I did it a few more times with treats to reinforce him positively and he is transformed. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much! My 5 month old toy Aussie is next. 😃
Joel is in my head all the time "are ya with me?" "I'm over this" "this is my house" I did the loose leash method with two dogs at once starting at the door. They are friggin blowing my mind. I like to go off leash, but the empowerment you feel with over 200lbs of dog walking next to you on the loose leash rocks
Some background, I spent 15 years working with animals at a shelter and was injured on the job when a dog swept my legs out from under me and I ruptured a disk in my back. I adopted a dog to train as a service dog and had a facility that we went to weekly for training. I could never get the recall to stick with the methods they were using. I pretty much gave up on training her because of this. Your methods have given me confidence that she will come back to me. She is the fasted dog I have ever seen, it literally blew my mind the first time I saw her running in a large yard at the training facility. Thank you for this advice, I really appreciate it.
Thank you. It is crucial Critical that they learn to come so you can save them from danger at any time. It is paramount that they learn to come immediately. COME Command is the most important lesson they will learn if you LOVE them and I know most of you do because you take care of them.
Thank you for your explanation on why my dog won't come all the day when I call her to come. It totally makes sense. I just started showing my hand to her, and she comes correctly to me 100% of the time inside the house. It makes a HUGE difference. Today is day one. I'm looking forward to more practice with her. Thank you.
I have a 10 y/o Lab mix I got when I was 13 and I made soo many mistakes with that poor bastard, because patience was never my strong trait. But I was willing to learn and learn I did. Anyways, his recall has been at 95 - 99% for the longest time and when people asked me how I did it I honestly couldn’t tell them. After watching a good amount of Joels videos I realized that in my impatience I just never let him blow me off and I did everything right, unknowingly. I was so lucky with that dog in so many aspects. Still, poor thing for having to be the first dog of an impatient 13 y/o, but he laid such important groundwork for every dog to come.
I love this guy! "We gotta start livin life, you gotta start goin places".... I'm going to go ahead and apply that advice to my life as well! Thank you for these training videos. God bless you!!
Thank you so much. My dog is a 3 year old rescue who didn’t learn much before.all the videos are showing a dog that is already trained and obey the commands and being food or treat motivated. My dog doesn’t care about treat and didn’t look interested to listen to me. I’m following what I just saw on this video and I already seeing improvement! Thank you
Love this. It's one of the first things I started teaching my 6 month old rescue from day 1. Saved our butts at the dog park the other day when someone showed up with 2 aggressive GSD. The GSD went after a pitty, my boy was headed for the mess, I called him and instead of getting in the middle of the fight he charged for my legs and sat on my feet. Made it easier to leash and leave without incident.
I never knew that holding my dogs harness when calling her was having a positive impact on her re-call. The more you know. Your videos are so helpful, and I love how you say things how they are. You don’t sugar coat or over exaggerating. I’m gonna recommend you to my friends or people I know who is getting a dog.
Thank you for breaking these down so well. Super helpful, and I’m sure you’re inadvertently saving dogs from shelter by giving their humans the right tools for training.
I never tried the go get method until I started watching you and I was dubious it would work because of all the reasons you said, but.. IT WORKS.. proof is in the pudding Joel! Thank you!
I just tried the recall with my dog (she found me and jumped on my bike and came home with me) I took her outside with the neighborhood street dogs running around, she totally got it! We practiced 3 times in the house and then went for a walk and she was playing with 4 dogs. I called her and she came running! Oh it was so awesome!!! Thank you so much for this video! Such a blessing. We will practice everyday in every environment we are in. As she comes with us everywhere we go
Cooper is such a sweetie, I love how Joel keeps letting him go off and play and he just prefers to be around him anyway. I can imagine that can make it kinda difficult to train some behaviors, though.
I know that's right, lol. We have 5 dogs, all but one are rescues. One is a bit of a struggle, but he's just 10 months. Our newest rescue, another husky, acts a lot like Cooper. He tries to stay as close to me as possible. He's about 12 months. In order to train recall I actually have to have one of the other dogs out to distract him. So by the time he's feeling secure enough to leave my side he should be well trained on recall. People have told us for 20 years that huskies are impossible to train, but that's not really true. It just takes a tiny bit more patience.
#Moreglob - I’m at the same 80% with my dog. He knows it’s good when he comes, there’s only positive results. But at times he’s just too distracted, and sometimes just even willfully ignoring the command! Redoubling my efforts with the grab and treat will be a big help, I think.
This is such useful information, thank you! My boy is very unreliable off lead but I have naturally been using the "pop" on the "come", the hand gesture with treats and the "go get" to change that, even though I wasn't at the puppy classes with him. This demonstration just helps me tie everything together very nicely. He is a 6yr Beagle that i inherited from my sister when she moved. I have subbed!
Joel, it sounds weird to say, but you've become my dog education Bible 😬😊 Everything I've tried just works, I tried so many different methods from different people before and it's now after watching your videos that I'm getting results. Can't tell you how happy I am to have found your channel. So great. Thanks 👍👍👍
I do practice your technical commands, hand motions and positive reinforcements. It takes quite a few takes but OMG it’s amazing. My dog thrives on the command, he loves the connection we have. Our outing are so much fun in fact Sam, on Q gets his leash and prances all the way to the park and back. Oh the joy! Thank you so much!
I gotta say, you're the best I've seen on RUclips. I appreciate the direction and methodologies. I train my Corso in the same manner. Thank you for showing how it's done!
Truly a diamond in the rough. Your content and willingness to teach others are beyond invaluable. Thank you so much for all you do Joel. It means so much to me and I'm sure, everyone else. You are a MASSIVE inspiration to me and my small dog training business. I'll always be a fan of yours. Many blessings.
I looked up the meaning of the saying. Wow you are absolutely right! My mistake. I was originally trying to imply that Joel’s dog training channel is, in my opinion, the best among many. Thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson Lisette! I always remind myself, it’s okay to wrong sometimes. Thanks again!
Love it love it… the pop to the voice is so important. The que and the grab keeps them in focus to you and not run back to what they were doing. But the methodical “go get”no matter what will be my game changer. Can’t wait for all my snow and ice to melt to complete my go get “all day”.
You’ve helped me so much with my Labradoodle, Russell, over the last 5 months! He’s 8 months old now and this is what I’m needing right now!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. My dog has ZERO recall. Today, I'm starting from scratch. The cue makes so much sense. And the grabbing the collar makes sense. Thank you so much.
Repitition and consistency are key. Love cooper. He is doing great with your training. Labs are smart and trainable, but I’m a little biased. Love my lab! Thanks for the great tips Joel. They are so helpful! ☺️
All of my dogs that I have been personally responsible for have been working dogs, specifically guide dogs. My first guide 23 years ago was a pint-size black Lab. I was a noive handler and disappointed that I got a Lab because I'd been told by others that "Labs are dumb". I wanted a GSD. Long story short, little Filly was anything but dumb. I called her my pocket rocket. She was a lot of dog for me then, given my lack of experience and skills, yet she always did her best for me. I'll always have a soft spot for Labs and someday, I'm gonna have another one... or two or three. But yes repetition and consistency are keys to success in relationship building and dog training. A wise trainer once told me: "You get from the dog what you put out. If you want a better dog, then learn to be a better human. Or rehome that dog."
Just wanted to say Thanks a lot. I rescued my daughters pit bull because her idiot first boyfriend gave her one for Christmas. She has never had a dog before, luckily the asshole is gone but I couldn’t allow a dog to be crated all day. She is a female that loves to mark. I used to take her to dog park everyday and she was the friendliest dog of all. Unfortunately I had to go into the hospital and someone was given my dog. That dumb ass took her to a home unleashed with another unleashed pit bull. Needless to say their was a fight,her first ever. Dumb ass was proud to say that Daisy kicked the dogs ass. Well dumb ass should have realized he changed Daisys life forever. I no longer can take her to the dog park as she hates female dogs now. Want to thank you for using your teqnique. She was trained because she now growls at me when times to eat. I will never allow any dog to growl at me. I put her food on the conter and using my different voice I made her sit,lay and wait for my signal. No growls. Not taking anymore crap from my dog. I too am over it. Thanks for your words of wisdom. I truly appreciate it because I will never be afraid of any dog except the Akita- lol, that lives here!!
This video is amazing clear instructions broken down simply and giving the age and brain processes of the pups!! Thank you for this is a great tool for someone training at home without access to professionals!!
I was watching the beginning of the video and laughed when coup didn’t come because it reminded me of trying to get my golden to listen and he jus won’t, then towards the end I was really impressed how coup ignored prince and came right to you.
Thank goodness I found you here! 🙏 Have a 6 month old female Romanian rescue pup and have had her 6 weeks. I live in the North of Scotland. She had only ever lived in a concrete yard. She is now toilet trained, more confident/happy etc but, I cannot get the commands to 100%. She is almost there with it all but is super easily distracted and gets very reactive. I hope by watching all of your videos we will get to 100% very soon! Thanks in advance for your help. 😃
Great video. I've seen you describe the process before but this is a great, concise lesson on how to put it all together. I love Cooper too. He's like "I'm not going anywhere except where this guy with the chicken is!" Recall? You have to get him to leave you first :D
Joel, thank u a 1000 times ☘️🙏for all the good hints you offer for free in your videos and podcasts. I have a doggiedaycare in Denmark and almost every time I watch one of your videos, I can take some good advice and use it as a tool when working with my wonderful pack of dogs. I have never seen u being afraid or insecure with any of the dogs u have in your training. Amazing work u are doing! All the best 🙏for you and your family and all the dogs 🇩🇰
Decided to adopt my first pup at 22 a few months ago. He's a 65 pound, 1 and a half year old pit/lab mix so you know he's smart and got endless energy. Set myself up for a tall task for sure, but i am definitely looking forward to working my buddy's mind a little more by trying these great methods! LOVE the collar grab after Cooper comes and before giving the reward, gonna be a game changer!
This is the most useful video about "Come" that I've ever watched. Usually the videos are full of general idea and don't explain how actually the command "works". Now I can see the little details that matter. My dog usually comes to me when I call her and when she does it's the case of "take the money and leave". I didn't know how to change it. Now I know I need to change the order for "snack and grab" so she won't run away after the snack. Thank so much for pointing out all the little details
Hiya, I watched your video this morning and then immediately took my 3 year-old lab out to train her: it worked brilliantly, thank you! My dog follows my wife's commands to a tee but not mine but I was amazed at how quickly she responded to the training, even around other dogs. Brilliant, thanks mate.
That was amazing: Thank you for sharing! I'll be getting my doberman this summer: researched since 2016, and have been prepping since about a year ago (researched breeders and been approved by my top pick this winter). A solid recall is my top priority (along with adv. obedience + protection, with professionals), so will certainly be learning + implementing what I can from this page!
This video showed up in my recommended list. I have an 8 month old puppy I'm training, he is doing very well but is not 100% on recall (he's 8 months old I'm not complaining were still training) my last dog was so good on recall, I know we will get there. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your training methods and explanation that it is ok to express displeasure with your dog. I have always believed that and it is refreshing to see training that doesn't explicitly revolve around treats and praise.
i have teared up over HOW GOOD MY BOXER IS AFTER THIS VIDEO. she used to run all over the yard and bark and lunge for quite literally hours if I asked her to come inside.
This has got my dog to 💯 % recall - she was good but years ago I was told not to praise or encourage them until they got to you. That extra encouragement and hand out took recall to 100!
this is refreshing to watch when most training videos show the dog listening almost immediately. this guy's not afraid to show you that it doesn't happen instantly so you can see how to respond.
Recall is much easier to train if you use a 20-20ft long line in order to kind of reel them in if they ignore you, give treat, praise then rinse and repeat. Don't do overly long training sessions, the dog will get bored and less cooperative. That's how we did in when training our Rotts in Scheutzhund, we also did more than on type of training exercise in one hour sessions a couple of times a day. Patience, treats and repetition will get the job done. Have fun..
Okay....in a few minutes you just changed my life. My little Boston Terrier will follow me wherever I go. She will come when called but I NEVER thought to GRAB before the treat. SO simple and it took about 10 minutes and lots of calls to get her to accept the grab with nothing but love to follow...but its over already. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
This is really good training info !! Have 4 month old rescue puppy I’m having difficulty training. She listens to me real good in home.. but moment we are outside, she have difficulty listening to me. Also she comes and take the treat and leave right away. I wish I known about the collar grabbing!! Thank you so much !! I will train with her !
I am so pleased I watched this. I have a crazy friendly dog who would go home with the first person who smiled at him so have been delaying letting him off leash. I am now on the long line and working on recall which he is getting really good at. The grab of the collar before treating is something that I will now be doing! Thanks Joel
Thanks for this great instruction. It works so well. My dog Luna (black border collie) is already 3.5 years of age, but doesn’t always respond to the command “come”. But for whatever reason, these last two days she responds immediately to “come Luna”, with sharp stress on the “c”, pronounced more like a sharp k. I also like your no nonsense style of instruction
I appreciate that it gets recognized with the go get method that it’s not all about treats and that your energy matters to show the dog you were not just giving them an option, but a command. I have many close friends and family that refuse to be stern in anyway with their dogs so the dogs end up not understanding the consequences of having to do the task whether they want to or not. Also that he showcased very well that it’s done without by over correcting or being angry.
My recall for my dobbies when they used to chase rabbits in the desert was , I whistled to get their attention, then do a hand signal over the top of my head like "round up" and meet me here and they came to a left side heel. I never used treats in the day just praise and a long 20' leash. They listened probably because I had the dogs since puppyhood. I learned from books in the 80s. ✌️😊 Edit. I like learning new things so this looks great also. ✌️
This is one of the best examples I have ever seen of how easy it can be to instill certain behaviors in a dog. You just have to be consistent and unwilling to compromise without being cruel. I've watched a bunch of your videos these past couple days and when I finally get a dog again I'll be keeping all these lessons in mind.
We're inside the house and I did this with my boy in the other room. He came right away. Then I shut the door and called..he opened the door and came to me. I'm starting now to hold his collar and treat him thanks for the good tips. Will need to try this outside with the distractions.
So glad I watched this, just got a younger shelter dog and I’ve been teaching her “here” and she’s learning very quickly but I never thought about the little things like grabbing the collar, thank you!
Joel, 8 months ago I was completely lost with my dog. I considered giving him back, because I was so out of my element. Your videos and inspiration on consistency in training absolutely saved our relationship. My dog is now a joy for others to be around, he listens when I give him instruction, and his recall is close to 100.0%. Thank you a million, Joel.
What age is your dog and how is your recall when playing with other dogs?
@@professorm3136 i got him when he was just over a year old, and he will be two in March. high energy hunting/working breed, catahoula leopard.
with other dogs around / playing, I may have to call two or more times to get his attention (after three calls, I am on top of him and pulling his butt to where I said he needs to be). but once he knows I've asked him to do something he realizes it simply isn't worth it to resist. Joel calls it learned helplessness, and it absolutely works.

Luck = Preparation + Opportunity 😂

That's awesome
This 15 minute video has done more for me than a $1400 training program. We flunked out of sit means sit. Do not recommend for small dogs, or at least sensitive little demons like mine.

Thank you for posting this. My son was going to spend big $ for a training course. I think we can do it with these vids, since he just has a 7lb. little cane corso pup. Good luck with your pug.
Glad I read this. Literally just looked at sit means sit 20 min ago
Cane corsos are NO JOKE when it comes to training, so whatever you decide, I hope your son follows through diligently. Only 7 lbs? Is it a newborn? lol That said, that program was not the right fit for us by any means. I don't need to have my pug face me on a platform, walk on different surfaces, or have her head hang down and tail uncurl whenever I put that damned collar on (the trainer told me a 6 mo old puppy was "manipulating" me by getting scared and unhappy over an e-collar that scared her). I just need her to come when she's called and poop outside (and we handled that part already). Worked great for my son's lab, was like flushing money down the toilet for me. Literally just called her from downstairs, across the house, and she came running at top speed.
@DenaInWyo An e-collar on a 6-month old puppy is...that is wrong.

What I really like about this video is that it shows real-world situations not just a perfectly trained dog who has already has mastered the command. I have a 6-yr-old rescue, who is very good natured, gregarious, and very high-energy. He has had some very good professional training, but "Come" is not something that he knows or simply chooses to ignore. I have already started him today, incorporating what is shown here. He is highly food-motivated and bright, so hopefully he will grasp the concept quickly.
Hope your training is going well!
Any feedback on the training... would really help
@@ricky7892 I'm still working with him but it certainly helps. I have found that the Halti anti-pull leash is also very helpful.
@@ricky7892 I also haven't tried combining treats with the correction, which is my fault. I need to do that. But he is a former stray, a rescue, and very independently minded.
@@gamadmex how's it going with him now?
That poor lab is like, who the hell is prince my dude?, prince dont want to come lol
I think you're doing something here that some people may not notice. You're giving Cooper a release. You're telling him when it's ok to go do his own thing. So it's much more clear to him when you need him back because it's so different than when you turn him loose to play. It's very cool. You're so clear on "hey I need you to come", then "hey, we're done, you can go play with your buddy." I LOVE THIS!
Except when you’re in “Training mode”, if you want the dog to Learn, you need to have him “ FOCUSED, And NOT distracted, …. especialy for the first several
Sessions! You can start to introduce this, “with” distractions “after” he’s learned the command… ! If not you’re just gonna overwhel the dog! Also, this is an older dog too, so that is why he’s able to get it a bit faster than say, a smaller puppy …. you shouldn’t wait until a dog is that old to teach recall though … !
@@stephaniedaigle4794 shut up
@@stephaniedaigle4794 he said this in the video.
Yep! You don’t want a dog vaguely wondering when he or she is allowed to resume other activities, and definitely don’t want to set a pattern where they just have to decide for themselves. That key about making sure to grab the harness so they don’t just dine and dash plays into that nicely, lol.
And I noticed that Cooper also seemed to respond more quickly to the release signal as the video progressed, like he was gaining a stronger understanding of what the cue meant. 😃👌
This is what we call a break command all my dogs have it because they need that cue to know they can be a dog again
This dude knows his stuff. Hyper aware and super tuned into canine language. This is what a trainer should be
You are a legend boss! 😁 I tried this on my 2 year old dog, who I had given up on come recall. She kept running away from me the moment I tried grabbing her collar. But I made sure I chased her down and brought her back to the same place. Three times and the fourth time she let me grab her collar without any issues. And she walked down two floors when I said come. Super win! Just in 15 minutes. I need to do this everyday. Thanks a ton!!!
Boundaries & expectations 🐾❣️
Try long leash, I won't run after my dog.. well I'm stubborn
Great - key is consistency to ALWAYS following up ! NEVER give a command or ask something that you won’t follow up on if it’s ignored - wilfully, for fun or b/c of distraction . When training, I keep a 6 ft. leash on, even in the house so I can easily get & retrieve.
Any training like stay/sit/down etc .. NEEDS to be followed up on after the FIRST command/ask .. don’t repeat command .. dog becomes lazy b/c there’s no immediate follow up.
Always follow through - that is the borders//boundaries. Allowing them to KNOW what you expect from them.. where they fit in the pack - happy dog ❣️
You are amazing!
Joel, I’m a first time dog owner @ 63. I have a 8 month old Aussiedoodle… That does not step off of my curb , when I point my finger to the ground next to me “ cue “ He comes and sits right next to me . he 99.9% of the time comes to me when I call him. My neighbors are completely blown away about what a well trained dog I have and we are just beginning .this is all because I’ve been watching you for the six months I’ve had this dog. THANK YOU
Amazing!!!
That is Awesome!!! They are amazing 🤩😊 Healer's for US. Glad to have found this site. We just started today 12-29-22
.....thank you. I am hoping to find the right video to control his ... Becoming a Transformer into a BullDozer with me in tow .... He is so very strong!
Finally a dog training video where the dog isn't already train lol.
AHHHHHH - I have a 12 week old AussieDoodle. At what age did you start training him, and how?
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ruclips.net/user/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
I like how you showed Cooper not listening and then how you follow the process until you get the results you want. Very helpful video!👍🏽🙏
Cooper followed instructions beacause he realised owner has food.
@@NamberGuan That's how everything works.
@@gawagames7877 But what happens when he realises owner has no food?
@@NamberGuanMaybe watch the video and listen a little better aye?
@namberguan He clearly states that you do it with treats until they master it and then they will eventually do it without them....its a process.
The collar grab - Such an important step and I forgot about it. Going to practice this right now!
I like using "stay" something that always builds anticipation to teach a reliable "come" because they're SOO hype to finally be ALLOWED to come!
I'm of the opinion that the "stay" command does more harm than good. Every command should have an unspoken "stay" attached to it. The dog should maintain their command until given the "break" command. Our break command is "free" but it's the same thing.
With that said, we did use "stay" when the puppy was very young, but phased it out as soon as he understood what was expected.
I love your sharp tone assertive method. It 100% conveys clear vocabulary any dog can easily learn. The less people confuse their dog with word salad the faster they can be successful.
I like how you showed Cooper not listening and then how you follow the process until you get the results you want. Very helpful video!
I have trained recall with dogs that I only have 1hr with daily, the fact that they understand the pitch and the comprehension shows that these methods truly work - Many times people at the dog park think they are my dogs when in fact I only give them leadership, which is all they need to have consistent recall - Well done, Joel.
I like your comment! So right.
Yes ‘tonal language’ with a dog is extremely important in all area’s of training and then in daily life for a dog to lead his/her best life.
Thanks so much,👍
I love that you showed a dog that isn’t just perfectly doing what you say! Much more realistic than other videos which just show an already perfectly trained animal 😅 thanks!
I watch his show every saturday and bought the book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq because i like his method. He's very talktative in the book about his dog training experiences with several different breeds over the years. When he does get to the training chapters, you need to read more slowly, take mental or written notes and try to apply his advice to your pet. That's where i'm at now. Another review is in order aftet i've trained my blue mountain shepherd with brandon mcmillan's method.
My 2 year old beagle mix is highly intelligent but has NEVER come to us when called. This method literally worked in 2 minutes. Just the “pop” in come made all the difference and stopped him dead in his tracks and he came straight to me. I did it a few more times with treats to reinforce him positively and he is transformed. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much! My 5 month old toy Aussie is next. 😃
Whattttt!
Joel is in my head all the time
"are ya with me?"
"I'm over this"
"this is my house"
I did the loose leash method with two dogs at once starting at the door. They are friggin blowing my mind. I like to go off leash, but the empowerment you feel with over 200lbs of dog walking next to you on the loose leash rocks
"We can do this all day" (pops the leash for a walk...)
“Write this down…”
Some background, I spent 15 years working with animals at a shelter and was injured on the job when a dog swept my legs out from under me and I ruptured a disk in my back. I adopted a dog to train as a service dog and had a facility that we went to weekly for training. I could never get the recall to stick with the methods they were using. I pretty much gave up on training her because of this. Your methods have given me confidence that she will come back to me. She is the fasted dog I have ever seen, it literally blew my mind the first time I saw her running in a large yard at the training facility. Thank you for this advice, I really appreciate it.
@@user-qz4rt4yh6e I will say yes after some persistence we finally got the recall down, and I have not been as afraid to take her places :)
Fasted dog you've ever seen she must be severely underweight
Thank you. It is crucial Critical that they learn to come so you can save them from danger at any time. It is paramount that they learn to come immediately. COME Command is the most important lesson they will learn if you LOVE them and I know most of you do because you take care of them.
Thank you for your explanation on why my dog won't come all the day when I call her to come. It totally makes sense. I just started showing my hand to her, and she comes correctly to me 100% of the time inside the house. It makes a HUGE difference. Today is day one. I'm looking forward to more practice with her. Thank you.
I have a 10 y/o Lab mix I got when I was 13 and I made soo many mistakes with that poor bastard, because patience was never my strong trait. But I was willing to learn and learn I did. Anyways, his recall has been at 95 - 99% for the longest time and when people asked me how I did it I honestly couldn’t tell them. After watching a good amount of Joels videos I realized that in my impatience I just never let him blow me off and I did everything right, unknowingly.
I was so lucky with that dog in so many aspects. Still, poor thing for having to be the first dog of an impatient 13 y/o, but he laid such important groundwork for every dog to come.
I love this guy! "We gotta start livin life, you gotta start goin places".... I'm going to go ahead and apply that advice to my life as well! Thank you for these training videos. God bless you!!
Without doubt recall is the most important thing that you can train your dog to do. This man talks sense!
Thank you so much.
My dog is a 3 year old rescue who didn’t learn much before.all the videos are showing a dog that is already trained and obey the commands and being food or treat motivated. My dog doesn’t care about treat and didn’t look interested to listen to me. I’m following what I just saw on this video and I already seeing improvement!
Thank you
My GSD is about a 90-95% good with come. However, if there’s a cat or a squirrel, all bets are off.
Love this. It's one of the first things I started teaching my 6 month old rescue from day 1. Saved our butts at the dog park the other day when someone showed up with 2 aggressive GSD. The GSD went after a pitty, my boy was headed for the mess, I called him and instead of getting in the middle of the fight he charged for my legs and sat on my feet. Made it easier to leash and leave without incident.
This is SOLID advice. More people need to hear it.
Because of your video, now my dogs always listen when I call for him and they always listen to me. A big thanks to you Joel. Thanks alot
This has got to be one of my favorite videos from you. Easy instructions and demonstration. You don't see that much on RUclips.
Best dog trainer on line. Love Joel! So realistic. Most of us just want a well behaved dog and his approach is practical and do able!
I never knew that holding my dogs harness when calling her was having a positive impact on her re-call. The more you know.
Your videos are so helpful, and I love how you say things how they are. You don’t sugar coat or over exaggerating. I’m gonna recommend you to my friends or people I know who is getting a dog.
Thank you for breaking these down so well. Super helpful, and I’m sure you’re inadvertently saving dogs from shelter by giving their humans the right tools for training.
I never tried the go get method until I started watching you and I was dubious it would work because of all the reasons you said, but.. IT WORKS.. proof is in the pudding Joel! Thank you!
I love Cooper, he reminds me of a friends dog.
All he can think of is: "Where my treat at?!"
🤣
I just tried the recall with my dog (she found me and jumped on my bike and came home with me)
I took her outside with the neighborhood street dogs running around, she totally got it! We practiced 3 times in the house and then went for a walk and she was playing with 4 dogs. I called her and she came running! Oh it was so awesome!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Such a blessing. We will practice everyday in every environment we are in. As she comes with us everywhere we go
Cooper is such a sweetie, I love how Joel keeps letting him go off and play and he just prefers to be around him anyway. I can imagine that can make it kinda difficult to train some behaviors, though.
Cooper: "I wanna stick with the guy who's got the snacks and pets, darn it!"
It's a Lab..... they always go where the food is :) (I have two Frenchies that are the same!)
I know that's right, lol. We have 5 dogs, all but one are rescues. One is a bit of a struggle, but he's just 10 months. Our newest rescue, another husky, acts a lot like Cooper. He tries to stay as close to me as possible. He's about 12 months. In order to train recall I actually have to have one of the other dogs out to distract him.
So by the time he's feeling secure enough to leave my side he should be well trained on recall.
People have told us for 20 years that huskies are impossible to train, but that's not really true. It just takes a tiny bit more patience.
My dog has maybe 80% recall. After watching this I’ll redouble my efforts. Thanks Joel
#Moreglob - I’m at the same 80% with my dog. He knows it’s good when he comes, there’s only positive results. But at times he’s just too distracted, and sometimes just even willfully ignoring the command! Redoubling my efforts with the grab and treat will be a big help, I think.
Cooper is an awesome dog! He's like "it's just way, way, WAY easier to stay close to Joel 'cause I want to keep the boss happy!"
I love this dog!!!
The hand down trick is what finally got it to my husky. Thank you for this video. Paired with an e-collar his recall is getting so much better!
This is such useful information, thank you! My boy is very unreliable off lead but I have naturally been using the "pop" on the "come", the hand gesture with treats and the "go get" to change that, even though I wasn't at the puppy classes with him. This demonstration just helps me tie everything together very nicely.
He is a 6yr Beagle that i inherited from my sister when she moved. I have subbed!
This is best advice I have every heard. Thank you for all of your videos they are truly amazing.
Joel, it sounds weird to say, but you've become my dog education Bible 😬😊 Everything I've tried just works, I tried so many different methods from different people before and it's now after watching your videos that I'm getting results. Can't tell you how happy I am to have found your channel. So great. Thanks 👍👍👍
I do practice your technical commands, hand motions and positive reinforcements. It takes quite a few takes but OMG it’s amazing. My dog thrives on the command, he loves the connection we have. Our outing are so much fun in fact Sam, on Q gets his leash and prances all the way to the park and back. Oh the joy! Thank you so much!
I gotta say, you're the best I've seen on RUclips. I appreciate the direction and methodologies. I train my Corso in the same manner. Thank you for showing how it's done!
Truly a diamond in the rough. Your content and willingness to teach others are beyond invaluable. Thank you so much for all you do Joel. It means so much to me and I'm sure, everyone else. You are a MASSIVE inspiration to me and my small dog training business. I'll always be a fan of yours. Many blessings.
I looked up the meaning of the saying. Wow you are absolutely right! My mistake. I was originally trying to imply that Joel’s dog training channel is, in my opinion, the best among many. Thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson Lisette! I always remind myself, it’s okay to wrong sometimes. Thanks again!
@@greymoney2798 you the man
@@greymoney2798 I knew exactly what you were implying.. Beckman is above most trainers.. So I agree with you Grey..
Wonderful that you are sharing Joel's diamonds! Best wishes for your business
I barely can keep up with the amount of vids Joel uploads. I'm really thankful for that. Cheers.
Love it love it… the pop to the voice is so important. The que and the grab keeps them in focus to you and not run back to what they were doing. But the methodical “go get”no matter what will be my game changer. Can’t wait for all my snow and ice to melt to complete my go get “all day”.
You’ve helped me so much with my Labradoodle, Russell, over the last 5 months! He’s 8 months old now and this is what I’m needing right now!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. My dog has ZERO recall. Today, I'm starting from scratch. The cue makes so much sense. And the grabbing the collar makes sense. Thank you so much.
😂 when you said “they don’t understand they’re not on a leash” I looked at my dog and he just stared at me dumbly.
Repitition and consistency are key. Love cooper. He is doing great with your training. Labs are smart and trainable, but I’m a little biased. Love my lab! Thanks for the great tips Joel. They are so helpful! ☺️
Labs can be dumber than a doorknob, my mil dogs are so stupid, big oafs
All of my dogs that I have been personally responsible for have been working dogs, specifically guide dogs. My first guide 23 years ago was a pint-size black Lab. I was a noive handler and disappointed that I got a Lab because I'd been told by others that "Labs are dumb". I wanted a GSD. Long story short, little Filly was anything but dumb. I called her my pocket rocket. She was a lot of dog for me then, given my lack of experience and skills, yet she always did her best for me. I'll always have a soft spot for Labs and someday, I'm gonna have another one... or two or three.
But yes repetition and consistency are keys to success in relationship building and dog training. A wise trainer once told me: "You get from the dog what you put out. If you want a better dog, then learn to be a better human. Or rehome that dog."
I couldn't agree more! And bribery always works well for training a dog❣️
Working tool labs
Just wanted to say Thanks a lot. I rescued my daughters pit bull because her idiot first boyfriend gave her one for Christmas. She has never had a dog before, luckily the asshole is gone but I couldn’t allow a dog to be crated all day. She is a female that loves to mark. I used to take her to dog park everyday and she was the friendliest dog of all. Unfortunately I had to go into the hospital and someone was given my dog. That dumb ass took her to a home unleashed with another unleashed pit bull. Needless to say their was a fight,her first ever. Dumb ass was proud to say that Daisy kicked the dogs ass. Well dumb ass should have realized he changed Daisys life forever. I no longer can take her to the dog park as she hates female dogs now. Want to thank you for using your teqnique. She was trained because she now growls at me when times to eat. I will never allow any dog to growl at me. I put her food on the conter and using my different voice I made her sit,lay and wait for my signal. No growls. Not taking anymore crap from my dog. I too am over it. Thanks for your words of wisdom. I truly appreciate it because I will never be afraid of any dog except the Akita- lol, that lives here!!
This video is amazing clear instructions broken down simply and giving the age and brain processes of the pups!! Thank you for this is a great tool for someone training at home without access to professionals!!
I was watching the beginning of the video and laughed when coup didn’t come because it reminded me of trying to get my golden to listen and he jus won’t, then towards the end I was really impressed how coup ignored prince and came right to you.
Explained so well! Thank you! I wish I had started using the hand signal much earlier.
Feel the Force...Feel the Joel Way...awesome video so easy but so profound! A true Jedi lesson! Thank you.
Thank goodness I found you here! 🙏 Have a 6 month old female Romanian rescue pup and have had her 6 weeks. I live in the North of Scotland. She had only ever lived in a concrete yard. She is now toilet trained, more confident/happy etc but, I cannot get the commands to 100%. She is almost there with it all but is super easily distracted and gets very reactive. I hope by watching all of your videos we will get to 100% very soon! Thanks in advance for your help. 😃
This helped me so much for my poodle mix who comes but not always consistently! She responded really well to this
Great video. I've seen you describe the process before but this is a great, concise lesson on how to put it all together.
I love Cooper too. He's like "I'm not going anywhere except where this guy with the chicken is!" Recall? You have to get him to leave you first :D
Thanks so much for this video, never seen anyone explain this so well. Now we can get much better!
This is the best video I've ever seen, this guy teaching us in an appropriate way, not just a short video and asking for like and follows. Thank you 🙇
Joel, thank u a 1000 times ☘️🙏for all the good hints you offer for free in your videos and podcasts. I have a doggiedaycare in Denmark and almost every time I watch one of your videos, I can take some good advice and use it as a tool when working with my wonderful pack of dogs. I have never seen u being afraid or insecure with any of the dogs u have in your training. Amazing work u are doing! All the best 🙏for you and your family and all the dogs 🇩🇰
Sure you should own a dog day care when you don't even know super simple stuff 😂😂
Can’t say enough about Joel’s techniques and philosophy. My dog and me thank you
Been watching your videos from the start my guy, I like the way you train and educate. Keep up the great videos
I really like the way you talk through everything step-by-step. I can understand and follow the process! Thanks!
Decided to adopt my first pup at 22 a few months ago. He's a 65 pound, 1 and a half year old pit/lab mix so you know he's smart and got endless energy. Set myself up for a tall task for sure, but i am definitely looking forward to working my buddy's mind a little more by trying these great methods! LOVE the collar grab after Cooper comes and before giving the reward, gonna be a game changer!
This is just what we need! Only we will use a long line, our boy is a runner! Thanks! 🙂
Thank you for the breakdown! This is something we have been struggling with and I now feel confident we can get a solid recall in no time!
This is the most useful video about "Come" that I've ever watched. Usually the videos are full of general idea and don't explain how actually the command "works". Now I can see the little details that matter. My dog usually comes to me when I call her and when she does it's the case of "take the money and leave". I didn't know how to change it. Now I know I need to change the order for "snack and grab" so she won't run away after the snack. Thank so much for pointing out all the little details
Hiya, I watched your video this morning and then immediately took my 3 year-old lab out to train her: it worked brilliantly, thank you! My dog follows my wife's commands to a tee but not mine but I was amazed at how quickly she responded to the training, even around other dogs. Brilliant, thanks mate.
Dude your a life save my mom wanted to give my dog away and I was so scared it would happen you just saved my friendship thank u
That was amazing: Thank you for sharing! I'll be getting my doberman this summer: researched since 2016, and have been prepping since about a year ago (researched breeders and been approved by my top pick this winter). A solid recall is my top priority (along with adv. obedience + protection, with professionals), so will certainly be learning + implementing what I can from this page!
Good luck with your doberman! My dad and uncle used to have a female doberman. They are big and are gentle giants.
This video showed up in my recommended list. I have an 8 month old puppy I'm training, he is doing very well but is not 100% on recall (he's 8 months old I'm not complaining were still training) my last dog was so good on recall, I know we will get there. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your training methods and explanation that it is ok to express displeasure with your dog. I have always believed that and it is refreshing to see training that doesn't explicitly revolve around treats and praise.
i have teared up over HOW GOOD MY BOXER IS AFTER THIS VIDEO. she used to run all over the yard and bark and lunge for quite literally hours if I asked her to come inside.
This has got my dog to 💯 % recall - she was good but years ago I was told not to praise or encourage them until they got to you. That extra encouragement and hand out took recall to 100!
"Criteria to coming to you is getting grabbed." Wow, I never thought of this but it makes perfect sense. Great advice. Thank you.
this is refreshing to watch when most training videos show the dog listening almost immediately. this guy's not afraid to show you that it doesn't happen instantly so you can see how to respond.
I just found your channel and I love that you're showing your training with a dog that you're actually training!! Thank you
Recall is much easier to train if you use a 20-20ft long line in order to kind of reel them in if they ignore you, give treat, praise then rinse and repeat. Don't do overly long training sessions, the dog will get bored and less cooperative. That's how we did in when training our Rotts in Scheutzhund, we also did more than on type of training exercise in one hour sessions a couple of times a day. Patience, treats and repetition will get the job done. Have fun..
The progress you made in such little time is impressive! I'll be using these techniques with my 4 month old Dobie.
Thanks!!!
Doberman so easy to train. I loved mine. They were so smart. Keep watching this guy and you will have a great dog.
This is fantastic and I love the real world examples!
I’m so glad I found you and now I’m subscribed!
Okay....in a few minutes you just changed my life. My little Boston Terrier will follow me wherever I go. She will come when called but I NEVER thought to GRAB before the treat. SO simple and it took about 10 minutes and lots of calls to get her to accept the grab with nothing but love to follow...but its over already. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
This is really good training info !! Have 4 month old rescue puppy I’m having difficulty training. She listens to me real good in home.. but moment we are outside, she have difficulty listening to me. Also she comes and take the treat and leave right away. I wish I known about the collar grabbing!! Thank you so much !! I will train with her !
Fantastic video. Thank you for explaining it so well. You rock
haven't watched you in a while...but this type of lesson is why I love your training! Thank you!
I am so pleased I watched this. I have a crazy friendly dog who would go home with the first person who smiled at him so have been delaying letting him off leash. I am now on the long line and working on recall which he is getting really good at. The grab of the collar before treating is something that I will now be doing! Thanks Joel
I really love your no nonsense training. Super clear, precise and effective. Thank you.
Thanks for this great instruction. It works so well. My dog Luna (black border collie) is already 3.5 years of age, but doesn’t always respond to the command “come”. But for whatever reason, these last two days she responds immediately to “come Luna”, with sharp stress on the “c”, pronounced more like a sharp k. I also like your no nonsense style of instruction
I appreciate that it gets recognized with the go get method that it’s not all about treats and that your energy matters to show the dog you were not just giving them an option, but a command. I have many close friends and family that refuse to be stern in anyway with their dogs so the dogs end up not understanding the consequences of having to do the task whether they want to or not. Also that he showcased very well that it’s done without by over correcting or being angry.
Appreciate the transparency. Love that u showed how it “really” is! Appreciate the process.
My recall for my dobbies when they used to chase rabbits in the desert was , I whistled to get their attention, then do a hand signal over the top of my head like "round up" and meet me here and they came to a left side heel. I never used treats in the day just praise and a long 20' leash.
They listened probably because I had the dogs since puppyhood. I learned from books in the 80s.
✌️😊
Edit. I like learning new things so this looks great also. ✌️
This is one of the best examples I have ever seen of how easy it can be to instill certain behaviors in a dog. You just have to be consistent and unwilling to compromise without being cruel. I've watched a bunch of your videos these past couple days and when I finally get a dog again I'll be keeping all these lessons in mind.
Watching this for the first time today. Praying I come back and thank you when it’s all said and done 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Finally someone who is giving me actual instructions on how to train my do instead of trying to sell me a course. Thank you for this
We're inside the house and I did this with my boy in the other room. He came right away.
Then I shut the door and called..he opened the door and came to me.
I'm starting now to hold his collar and treat him thanks for the good tips.
Will need to try this outside with the distractions.
Just worked on this today April 7th ,2022 with our 4 months old labradoodle and” wow “
Your method worked awesome 👏🏻
Thank. Joel 🙏🏼
Is there an age to start this training?
I noticed you have a 4 month old and our puppy is 3 months
So glad I watched this, just got a younger shelter dog and I’ve been teaching her “here” and she’s learning very quickly but I never thought about the little things like grabbing the collar, thank you!
First ever video I’ve ever seen from you. I love your no-nonsense approach and explanations. You got a new subscriber! 👍
