I have been saying this since I started following this channel back when it first started. Prince is a one in a million dog and society has benefitted when Joel got Prince. Name another dog that would stand still and not react the way Prince did at the start of the video? This dog never ceases to amaze me
The only other dog I’ve seen be this way is my friends intact male Akita, named Bodhi. It’s really phenomenal especially after witnessing so many dogs as a trainer myself.
I think Prince is able to live his POTENTIAL because of his human. I believe a lot of dogs have a lot more potential than humans know about. Part of Prince's awesomeness is his breed. I am biased 😅 They're my favorite breed and one of the smartest breeds. But I believe that if more humans really understood dogs and were good, strong, balanced leaders for their dogs, we'd have more dogs like Prince. One of the things that made me realize just how much dogs understand, is the talking buttons. There are dogs on here who's humans run their channels and the dogs have very detailed conversations with their humans using the buttons. They put whole sentences together and carry on conversations. It's incredible.
I had an intact black Labrador when I was a teenager. We went a lot of places together, including taking him when I ride my horses. He NEVER started a fight, but he certainly finished them.

Prince is such a Good Boy! Brilliant, absolutely love these videos when you break down and explain all of the dogs movements /body language. I know what to look for subconsciously when supervising multiple dogs but its just so informative the way you explain everything.
It looks like a long haired Japanese Akita (Wooly Akita.) I knew about American Woolies but I didn’t know there was a Japanese long haired version. I LOVE Akitas! ❤️❤️❤️
@joannejuro32 just curious why you love Akitas? I've never known anyone with one. From what I understand, they are well known for aggression. I'm a GSD person and GSDs are known for anxious aggression also, but they are also well known for other positive traits. What are positive traits of Akitas?
@@OakwiseBecoming I grew up with akitas and many in my family did. They are also one of my favorite dogs and you are correct that they’re known for aggression and I too know very few others with akitas outside my own family members. I think it does come around to that most people that seek an akita are a niche of dog owners up to the task of owning a very powerful, dominant breed, that is also known for being very exclusive with who they like in their circle. And while akita people LOVE them, you won’t find them recommending the breed to just anyone either. Like a golden or lab. As for the positive traits of the dog, when raised and trained right, these dogs are very intuitive and noble, silent but extremely observant, they tend to bond to their household and are inherently a protective dog. They don’t need a lot of heavy exercise, not very barky, the standard coat is very low maintenance aside from shedding, some do get along very well with other dogs and enjoy companionship, and they look like big fluffy bear dogs lol As for the cons: extremely high prey drive, headstrong, needs balanced and confident leadership, and the shedding is insanely bad, next level shit. I’ve owned many different dogs, none have shed as bad as the akitas lol
When Cesar talks about energy, it is what you are mentioning - whether you are just being calm, relaxed butc also assertive, that's an energy; if you're being nervous, excited or worried, that's an energy; and if you're frightened or timix, that's an energy. That's what Cesar talks about and how the dogs can pick up and respond to all those types of energies.
@@jaszminejohnston8167 I do remember that quite a few years ago and found it funny that he now highly respects Cesar Millan. Truthfully, I still go to Cesar as my number one choice for help with behavioural issues and then I tend to follow Tom Davis from Upstate Canine Academy because I also believe in his methods. Then I'll go to either Beckman or Garrett Wing with DIY K9 Training.
Love the video! Prince and the Akita are such beautiful dogs. As always, great content and good break downs for people needing the knowledge and know how. ❤ I really would still love love love to see a video about prey drive, especially with small animals. I recently adopted an American Bully mix who turns out is not good with cats or any small animals. He tries to hunts moles, snakes, squirrel, etc. He also loves toys but, his play with them is like watching a killer whale play with a seal. It’s more murdering than play 😂. How would you go about dealing with a high prey drive? PS: Bowser is super sweet natured and laid back with people and my other dog. This is his one flaw that has been a challenge to correct.
big fan here just a quick note: its not that you are energy and that makes the difference. everthing IS energy. when you are angry, you have angry energy, when kind, kind energy. what you are being with the dogs is presence. you are being present. being present with what is. being present and aware of whats going on. without judgments, assumptions, fear, agenda etc, just being present with the dogs and the environment. and in this place we step into our knowing (vs thinking) and we are more aware of whats really going on. and in this place we are more aware of the dogs' energy in that moment and their intentions etc animals communicate with each other mostly with energy, their energy expresses their emotional state, their intentions etc
I have a Vizsla who holds a ton of energy when meeting other dogs. Hair on his back goes, sometimes he freezes in place other times he does a play bow and gets right to it. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body but people think he’s aggressive from the hair and stiff posture.
As for positioning yourself as the handler you have 5X more leverage to the side of the dog than behind the dog where you would be working against the dogs full strength as Joel points out in getting ready to give a correction something experienced handlers do without even thinking about it
Tbf, Akitas aren't known for being really tolerant of other dogs (especially same sex) or a lot of people. They're more for 1-2 person homes with no other dogs. Obviously, there are always exceptions. They're just real independent dogs.
I love your training methods. I am excited about your new courses. I do hope your training videos won’t change though. I don’t feel like this was an actual training video, as I didn’t see any final training results. More advertising courses, than showing us. Please don’t change your style. ❤🐾🐾
I still found it super interesting but I agree we still want the full training sessions with a beginning middle and end! Nothing wrong with throwing in a few different styles every now and then. I really like the slow mo shots too.
*calm assertive energy >> you need to qualify/describe/name the type of energy, as there is fearful energy, etc.. It's important to be clear so people know what kind of energy you're referring to.
Joel, my dog (Cane Corso) is 3.5 years old now. I've been watching your videos since before I got him. So, it's probably close to when your channel started. I got his brother 2.5 years ago (Bully), who's a year younger. He's suddenly become obsessed with the other dog to the point he can't even look away from him. Whines, jumps all over him/stands over him. I don't know what's going on, and he won't stop. I think it started when the other dog was feeling sick for a few days, but he's been better for a week now, and my other obsessed dog won't stop. Please help. Both are intact. Not sure if it's a maturity thing and both becoming adults, but they've been humping and play fighting for years now. Sometimes I have to step in and calm them down so one or the other doesn't get hurt.
Weird timing - I just posted an Akita video and I talked about energy. TBH, I think I can describe it better that it was in this video: Energy is essentially your nonverbal communication to the world. Your aura. It's the message you're sending out. The animal kingdom communicates this way. Wolves can't speak to bears. Bears can't speak to Wolverines. Wolverines can't speak to a fox. None of these animals can speak to an Elk, or a deer. A lion can't speak to a Hyena, or a cheetah. BUT... they still communicate. You'll see videos of a hyena laying down and relaxing near a pride of lions. You'll see videos of wolves chilling near a herd of calm Elk. How? Why aren't they all running? They're reading the state of mind of those animals, and they understand that - in that moment - they do not intend harm. They're not being aggressive. They're not hunting. This is the energy they're putting out, and other animals are reading it and responding accordingly, otherwise if it was just "I'm a prey animal, there's a predator... I better run until I don't see them anymore!" they wouldn't be choosing to linger. They make a decision based upon the energy of the other animal. When Cesar speaks of your energy, and advocates for Calm/Assertive, he wants the human to send out an energy communication to the dog saying exactly that; "I'm calm, I'm no threat, but I am in charge and I control this situation." Dogs can relax and follow when they believe you're in charge and you're calm. There's nothing to fear, and nothing they need to do except follow. They understand this through the communication of energy.
Energy - intent . For example , relaxed - I mean no harm , chill or excitement - let's play, interact. We do it all the time when meeting people but it's not (or hasn't ) been a commonly spoken about exercise for people with dogs who are pets. That is changing and people want to learn and be aware of behaviour .
I live in Thailand and it would blow many people's minds to see dogs in packs in their natural behaviors. AGGRESSION is a normal canine behavior towards other dogs that are NOT in their pack. AGGRESSION is just a part of their everyday natural instinctual behavior in the WILD so it's something that we basically have to understand and train as an unacceptable behavior that is as normal as humans drinking water.
How can I get my dog to stop pulling after cats on walks in my neighborhood? My dog is a husky mix. She's good with my cats at home, if ever she chases them I stop her and she calms down and just hangs out with them. She is actually good on walks, so long as she doesn't see another animal or anticipates that she will find one. But once she's in that state of mind, I can't get her out of it. She'll pull like crazy and im not sure what her intent is with these cats, maybe she wants to catch them or she thinks of them as she thinks of dogs: best friends that she instantly needs to get to.
Hey Joel, Can you please make a video about 9months to a year old dogs who growls/show dominance at other dogs, I cannot seem to find any video of yours resemble that. I have 4 rescue dogs and I have two of them at ages 9 months and they are sisters. They are together all the time playing and sleeping together but sometimes their growling and fighting becomes too vicious to the point I got myself a bite trying to separate them.
He did a podcast that covered that topic. If I remember correctly, it has only shown to have very little effect on dominance, however it does have a major impact of the dog's hormone and chemistry function, which has a negative impact on the dog's health for the rest of his life
Joel just does dog training & YT different, better.. My favorite thing to do is observe animal behavior. He’s like the equivalent of a horseman like Ray Hunt, but in the canine world.
@@ltpdogtrainingNJ I count myself as a student of the horse/dog and personally, I think that’s the mark of a good trainer, someone who acknowledges that they don’t know everything and that there’s always more to learn.
Don’t go to muzzle groups. They often advocate for overly large muzzles and that’s one way for the dog to be able to bite you or the other dog. Follow the guidance done by the muzzle company, and go for the more traditional company vs some of the new ones coming up, people praise them for being good size but the designs don’t look good from the dogs perspective.
Hi, I'm wondering if you can make a video on puppy bitting that had gotten out of hand. My puppy is 7 month old golden doodle, he will often mouth me, no teeth synching, although he will growl. The more I resist, tell him no he comes back harder. I have reached everywhere ans went to (positive enforcement training) I am at my Wit's end and I don't know what to do anymore 😢
Dogs communicate much more through posture, sounds, and facial expressions than they do with their tails. Prince has never had a problem communicating. Neither did Bosco.
If this is even a genuine question, there are countless videos from this channel on similar behaviors that would help. Spend the time now while it's a pup or spend the money and time later when it's totally out of control. Just search, watch and try to apply things as best you can. Be consistent.
rptrick is right. You should intervene right now and Beckman's Dog Training channel has dozens of videos that cover biting. I hope you're able to succeed soon
I know someone who has two Akitas. Their dogs are massive with super thick fur. Not sure this Akita is young or purebred but I never saw one with long thin hair.
Joel...i lost my 15 year old best friend Winnie just over a week ago. Its been the hardest thing ive ever ever dealt with in 37 years of my life. I dont think im ever going to get over this. Any advice man? From Nova Scotia Canada. Her name was Winnie Cooper and she was the sweetest dog their ever was ❤
My 1.5 yo intact husky lab mix just started, as far as I can tell, purposely peeing all over his front legs DAILY. He hadn't learned to lift his leg!!! From what I've found online, it's a strategy to extend the spread of his scent. He's also obsessed with licking other dogs urine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Currently the only solution is to take him potty exclusively on leash.
I'm always interested in the subject matter Joel talks about, and I always pay attention to the dogs and their body language and behavior, but...lately I'm so distracted by all the weeds growing up through the paving stones. :D (I know Joel is also a very busy guy and that this area of his property is in very frequent use, so spending a half-hour or so with a string trimmer would probably be difficult; it just made me giggle when I realized that my attention was drifting to the weeds.)
Prince is seriously a Stud with being a helper dog - get that Good Boy a wife. Would love to see you have a Prince Jr. and see how you raise the pup into an awesome Helper Dog.

I want to apply your training to my dog, but i think the ship has sailed. First of all she's more like a cat, so does dog training even apply? 🤭 She's super old, almost deaf, almost blind and very sweet and shy. Only trusts me and hides from others. Got her off the streets with a trap. She was out there for weeks, and nobody could get to her. Then, hot dogs and peanut butter lured her into the trap. We went to the dog park once. She sat next to me on the bench, looking down at those four-legged, silly peasants. I do apply your rules for scared dogs, like desensitization and pushing boundaries etc. She's fine with it all since I'm there. Nobody else can train her since nobody else in the house gives a rat's ass about her. 😢 I tried your "come" method. She got more and more shy each time i put out my hand. I think an episode with her would be the shortest episode ever since you would cut out all the boring parts. 😂 However, life with her is pretty sweet. ❤
“She's super old, almost deaf, almost blind and very sweet and shy.” At this point in her life, which sounds pretty amazing thanks to you, I would probably just let her be. If her quality of life gives her pleasure, let the time she has remaining be showered with love. As the caretaker of three senior dogs myself, every day is a gift. She is blessed beyond measure to have you.💕🐾🐾
@topcatwarrior couldn't agree more! She added nothing but joy to our life. Well, and a few carpet stains, but let's not talk about that. She has never been a troublemaker. When I introduced her to my senior cats years ago, the cats didn't even move from their seats. They knew she's not a threat. She never glanced at our chickens either. She really wanted to blend in, and she did. From time to time, her friend comes over. A toy poodle. She doesn't care about the friend. Neither does the friend care about her. They sit on the couch, ignoring each other. Kind of like british royalty. She really is a princess, but a very undemanding one.❤️

I also thought that was not a 'Japanese Akita' dog. Thank you for pointing that out. I looked up what the Japanese Akita Inu standard looks like. "Akita Inu are large dogs with long legs, a stout, waist-high build and short hair. Rarely, a long-haired type called 'mukuge' is born, but this is not recognised as the standard."
Do a little research on the breed and you will find that the long-haired “wooly” coat is the result of a recessive gene carried by some Japanese and American Akitas.🤷🏻♀️
@@Satomori323 the gene that gives them the long coat is actually very very common, even if it is recessive. Unless both parents are tested it is not uncommon for a pup or two in every litter to be long coated. Has nothing to do with being poorly bred.
You seem to need attention. Here you go. The concept that positive only is useful to all dogs is silly. And the problem with you types is that you villainize any training methods that aren't the same as yours, demonstrating a close-mindedness and hostility that turns people off. It really isn't sensible. Dogs don't teach each other through "positive only." Dominance and hierarchy are a fundamental part of canine psychology and instinct. To flatout deny the existence of them is counterintuitive to the dogs and their human companions. Correcting bad behavior isn't mean and won't hurt their feelings. It teaches and focuses them. They are animals, not babies.
@@christineleonard1110 pretty sure it's the other way around and then there's the whole 10,000 dogs thing... He sure isn't going to other channels and trying to tear them down in the commemts like some do.
@@rptrick79She only believes in force free methods when dealing with 'fur babies," not people (except for collars, leashes, muzzles, fences, walls, doors, etc those kind of restrictive tools that force a dog to be under their submission don't count) The thing isn't that they love animals, it's that the hate people (especially people that are balanced and sound in mind). They want people to hold to the same cognitive dissonance, so they can feel like they've accomplished something in controlling other people's thoughts. It's really messed up, but look at who they idolize; charlatans, frauds and sponsorship shoppers
Because it’s not balanced training. Dogs need corrections too. Positive training only isn’t going to work when it comes to the type of behaviors seen in Joel’s videos. These guys are beyond only positive training, they’re not puppies.
@@pinkmako7682 Force Free is a misnomer anyway, yet I've never even seen positive reinforcement correct unwanted behavior even in puppies. You give them positive reinforcement for doing well and negative consequences for doing bad. That's how the world works. 🤷♂️
This isnt going to fix this dog guaranteed 100% long term at all! This Cesar B.S. doesnt work! Thats why Ceser has to remove so many dogs from owners and can not send them home again. There is a permanent way to fix this, by another trainer who is my mentor, but this isnt the place to post it. But this Cesar stuff will not work!

As for the cons: extremely high prey drive, headstrong, needs balanced and confident leadership, and the shedding is insanely bad, next level shit. I’ve owned many different dogs, none have shed as bad as the akitas lol
Thank you- all very insightful and explained with great clarity. I really appreciate you sharing your years of experience and knowledge.
When Cesar talks about energy, it is what you are mentioning - whether you are just being calm, relaxed butc also assertive, that's an energy; if you're being nervous, excited or worried, that's an energy; and if you're frightened or timix, that's an energy. That's what Cesar talks about and how the dogs can pick up and respond to all those types of energies.
I remember when he made a video about him not believing in the Caesar Method...which made unsubscribe..
@@jaszminejohnston8167 I do remember that quite a few years ago and found it funny that he now highly respects Cesar Millan. Truthfully, I still go to Cesar as my number one choice for help with behavioural issues and then I tend to follow Tom Davis from Upstate Canine Academy because I also believe in his methods. Then I'll go to either Beckman or Garrett Wing with DIY K9 Training.
Prince was really the star of this one! ❤
What a beautiful Akita! Akitas are my favorite dog breed. I’ve never seen one with hair like that though.
Long coat - woolie. There are a lot of them ❤
I’m curious about the breed…they seem intense!
Love the video! Prince and the Akita are such beautiful dogs. As always, great content and good break downs for people needing the knowledge and know how. ❤
I really would still love love love to see a video about prey drive, especially with small animals. I recently adopted an American Bully mix who turns out is not good with cats or any small animals. He tries to hunts moles, snakes, squirrel, etc. He also loves toys but, his play with them is like watching a killer whale play with a seal. It’s more murdering than play 😂. How would you go about dealing with a high prey drive?
PS: Bowser is super sweet natured and laid back with people and my other dog. This is his one flaw that has been a challenge to correct.
big fan here
just a quick note: its not that you are energy and that makes the difference. everthing IS energy. when you are angry, you have angry energy, when kind, kind energy.
what you are being with the dogs is presence. you are being present. being present with what is. being present and aware of whats going on. without judgments, assumptions, fear, agenda etc, just being present with the dogs and the environment. and in this place we step into our knowing (vs thinking) and we are more aware of whats really going on. and in this place we are more aware of the dogs' energy in that moment and their intentions etc
animals communicate with each other mostly with energy, their energy expresses their emotional state, their intentions etc
I have a Vizsla who holds a ton of energy when meeting other dogs. Hair on his back goes, sometimes he freezes in place other times he does a play bow and gets right to it. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body but people think he’s aggressive from the hair and stiff posture.
Same here, my staffy goes into what I call her "hyena mode" 😂
What a beautiful dog! Both of them 😀 really interesting and helpful video.
I love these slow mo looks at body language videos!
As for positioning yourself as the handler you have 5X more leverage to the side of the dog than behind the dog where you would be working against the dogs full strength as Joel points out in getting ready to give a correction something experienced handlers do without even thinking about it
👍🏼 💯 👍🏼
Prince is such a confident dog. I love him
I know this is very serious video, but the Akita is so goofy looking with all that fur! I like it :)))
Great video. Also never saw a long haired Akita before.
Prince is absolutely STUNNING 🎉
Super informative. Thanks!
Prince is amazing! My dog would have walked away immediately like “no thanks.”
prince is sure tolerant of the face jabs.
Tbf, Akitas aren't known for being really tolerant of other dogs (especially same sex) or a lot of people. They're more for 1-2 person homes with no other dogs.
Obviously, there are always exceptions. They're just real independent dogs.
That was my understanding. So one wonders why this guy is forcing his dog to be around other dogs. He should have gotten a Golden Retriever.
I love your training methods. I am excited about your new courses. I do hope your training videos won’t change though. I don’t feel like this was an actual training video, as I didn’t see any final training results. More advertising courses, than showing us.
Please don’t change your style. ❤🐾🐾
I still found it super interesting but I agree we still want the full training sessions with a beginning middle and end!
Nothing wrong with throwing in a few different styles every now and then. I really like the slow mo shots too.
So glad the two dogs I have had are very people and animal friendly.
so true.... when working with dogs having a dog that can do this can fix dogs quicker and help owners !
Both are gorgeous dogs..
I understand what Caesar is about saying energy, it's actually what you see when he does the training .
@Joel-that was an awesome starter! Would you be willing to share the rest of your session with this dog? Already “65-70%” better vs the beginning 🎉
love your video! Love this style also I do also like watching your unscripted video where you do training real time!!!
*calm assertive energy >> you need to qualify/describe/name the type of energy, as there is fearful energy, etc.. It's important to be clear so people know what kind of energy you're referring to.
Joel, my dog (Cane Corso) is 3.5 years old now. I've been watching your videos since before I got him. So, it's probably close to when your channel started. I got his brother 2.5 years ago (Bully), who's a year younger. He's suddenly become obsessed with the other dog to the point he can't even look away from him. Whines, jumps all over him/stands over him. I don't know what's going on, and he won't stop. I think it started when the other dog was feeling sick for a few days, but he's been better for a week now, and my other obsessed dog won't stop. Please help. Both are intact. Not sure if it's a maturity thing and both becoming adults, but they've been humping and play fighting for years now. Sometimes I have to step in and calm them down so one or the other doesn't get hurt.
Littermate syndrome if they are from the same litter. This can become aggressive.
That dog looks gnarly.
ENERGY IS EVERYTHING ITS LIFE !
Weird timing - I just posted an Akita video and I talked about energy.
TBH, I think I can describe it better that it was in this video:
Energy is essentially your nonverbal communication to the world. Your aura. It's the message you're sending out.
The animal kingdom communicates this way. Wolves can't speak to bears. Bears can't speak to Wolverines. Wolverines can't speak to a fox. None of these animals can speak to an Elk, or a deer. A lion can't speak to a Hyena, or a cheetah. BUT... they still communicate. You'll see videos of a hyena laying down and relaxing near a pride of lions. You'll see videos of wolves chilling near a herd of calm Elk. How? Why aren't they all running?
They're reading the state of mind of those animals, and they understand that - in that moment - they do not intend harm. They're not being aggressive. They're not hunting.
This is the energy they're putting out, and other animals are reading it and responding accordingly, otherwise if it was just "I'm a prey animal, there's a predator... I better run until I don't see them anymore!" they wouldn't be choosing to linger. They make a decision based upon the energy of the other animal.
When Cesar speaks of your energy, and advocates for Calm/Assertive, he wants the human to send out an energy communication to the dog saying exactly that; "I'm calm, I'm no threat, but I am in charge and I control this situation." Dogs can relax and follow when they believe you're in charge and you're calm. There's nothing to fear, and nothing they need to do except follow. They understand this through the communication of energy.
Very well put! 👏 Energy is a chain reaction, no matter what species! Our roads can say a lot about that, for example. ;)
Energy - intent . For example , relaxed - I mean no harm , chill or excitement - let's play, interact. We do it all the time when meeting people but it's not (or hasn't ) been a commonly spoken about exercise for people with dogs who are pets. That is changing and people want to learn and be aware of behaviour .
I live in Thailand and it would blow many people's minds to see dogs in packs in their natural behaviors. AGGRESSION is a normal canine behavior towards other dogs that are NOT in their pack. AGGRESSION is just a part of their everyday natural instinctual behavior in the WILD so it's something that we basically have to understand and train as an unacceptable behavior that is as normal as humans drinking water.
my finnish spitzer goes aggressive if the owner doesnt want to meet or if the other dog starts the big boy attitude first
How can I get my dog to stop pulling after cats on walks in my neighborhood?
My dog is a husky mix.
She's good with my cats at home, if ever she chases them I stop her and she calms down and just hangs out with them.
She is actually good on walks, so long as she doesn't see another animal or anticipates that she will find one.
But once she's in that state of mind, I can't get her out of it. She'll pull like crazy and im not sure what her intent is with these cats, maybe she wants to catch them or she thinks of them as she thinks of dogs: best friends that she instantly needs to get to.
One of his most recent videos covered leash reactivity. I think it was the one before this one
Hey Joel, Can you please make a video about 9months to a year old dogs who growls/show dominance at other dogs, I cannot seem to find any video of yours resemble that. I have 4 rescue dogs and I have two of them at ages 9 months and they are sisters. They are together all the time playing and sleeping together but sometimes their growling and fighting becomes too vicious to the point I got myself a bite trying to separate them.
i have a question does in neutering make them less dominant
He did a podcast that covered that topic. If I remember correctly, it has only shown to have very little effect on dominance, however it does have a major impact of the dog's hormone and chemistry function, which has a negative impact on the dog's health for the rest of his life
@@underduress5761 oh okay thank you
@@notlisslol You're welcome 😊
Nice
Joel just does dog training & YT different, better..
My favorite thing to do is observe animal behavior.
He’s like the equivalent of a horseman like Ray Hunt, but in the canine world.
Yes! Both Masters!(They) know when you know, and (they) know when you don't know.
(They= horses, dogs, etc.)
@@ltpdogtrainingNJ Classic Ray hunt!
Love finding other horse savvy people here!😊
@@KingsMom831 I hope, one day, to live up to your comment. As for now, I'm happy to be just a student. 🦗❤️
@@ltpdogtrainingNJ I count myself as a student of the horse/dog and personally, I think that’s the mark of a good trainer, someone who acknowledges that they don’t know everything and that there’s always more to learn.
@@KingsMom831 ❤️
An interesting video would be one on how to properly fit a muzzle.
Don’t go to muzzle groups. They often advocate for overly large muzzles and that’s one way for the dog to be able to bite you or the other dog. Follow the guidance done by the muzzle company, and go for the more traditional company vs some of the new ones coming up, people praise them for being good size but the designs don’t look good from the dogs perspective.
Hi, I'm wondering if you can make a video on puppy bitting that had gotten out of hand. My puppy is 7 month old golden doodle, he will often mouth me, no teeth synching, although he will growl. The more I resist, tell him no he comes back harder. I have reached everywhere ans went to (positive enforcement training) I am at my Wit's end and I don't know what to do anymore 😢
I'm wondering, since Prince has his tail clipped, wouldn't that hinder communication?
Dogs communicate much more through posture, sounds, and facial expressions than they do with their tails. Prince has never had a problem communicating. Neither did Bosco.
No
ruclips.net/user/shorts1kq8i8wefgA?si=cvYi1jcexylGMOHv
I have a very aggressive puppy who bites everyone who is around him. How can I correct this behavior ?
If this is even a genuine question, there are countless videos from this channel on similar behaviors that would help. Spend the time now while it's a pup or spend the money and time later when it's totally out of control. Just search, watch and try to apply things as best you can. Be consistent.
rptrick is right. You should intervene right now and Beckman's Dog Training channel has dozens of videos that cover biting. I hope you're able to succeed soon
So the interesting training videos are finished. We now have teasers and ads for paid stuff.
Akitas seem like a project dog no matter what. Beautiful but tough.
I know someone who has two Akitas. Their dogs are massive with super thick fur. Not sure this Akita is young or purebred but I never saw one with long thin hair.
Both American (much bigger and heavier) and Japanese Akita (like this one) have a long coat gene that pops up every now and then. :)
Horses also do stress release yawns.
Question: why prince's mouth is always closed when meeting with a new dogs? Doese that mean he is anxious or stressful?
He's concentrating.
Meeting with an open mouth would be stress, or heat
Coz he’s a regal prince ☺️
@@BDTraining thank you, Sir
@BDTraining then I guess a closed mouth in hot weather means caution? Uncertainty?
Joel...i lost my 15 year old best friend Winnie just over a week ago. Its been the hardest thing ive ever ever dealt with in 37 years of my life. I dont think im ever going to get over this. Any advice man? From Nova Scotia Canada. Her name was Winnie Cooper and she was the sweetest dog their ever was ❤
❤I lost my almost 14 year old lab this year. I am sorry for your loss. 😢
@donnaharouff5085 thank you.
My 1.5 yo intact husky lab mix just started, as far as I can tell, purposely peeing all over his front legs DAILY. He hadn't learned to lift his leg!!! From what I've found online, it's a strategy to extend the spread of his scent. He's also obsessed with licking other dogs urine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Currently the only solution is to take him potty exclusively on leash.

Hey dog people🐕

How’s it going?
@@brendaerickson678 Hi Brenda😊
Not too bad, how about yourself?
Is this dog dominant?
I'm always interested in the subject matter Joel talks about, and I always pay attention to the dogs and their body language and behavior, but...lately I'm so distracted by all the weeds growing up through the paving stones. :D (I know Joel is also a very busy guy and that this area of his property is in very frequent use, so spending a half-hour or so with a string trimmer would probably be difficult; it just made me giggle when I realized that my attention was drifting to the weeds.)
I just screenshotted your comment, I’m sending it to my employee that works on the days the gardners come. Thanks.
Vinegar is a safe, natural alternative to other products.
@@BDTraining You've got such a beautiful home and a great facility that it deserves to be well-maintained :)
Prince is seriously a Stud with being a helper dog - get that Good Boy a wife. Would love to see you have a Prince Jr. and see how you raise the pup into an awesome Helper Dog.

Dear Joel,
I wrote you some so more of the usual
Like, I dont like how you train dogs
It doesn't always involve treats kisses
and its a bit unusual
I like Zak cuz he never uses a dog to attack
he can do it all with treats
Just give the dog another snack!
Ive seen it man, on these group meetings people call protests
We just call them friendly retreats
Then theres Susan Garrett
She exudes positivity just like me
Though I've only only seen her train a ferret
Theyre better trainers than you with more fame and more letters after their name
Its been like 4 months now and I've been good
But now my new comments keep disappearing
Like kids bikes in the neighborhood,
What is it that your fearing?
I know youve been deleting them man
You afraid of criticism?
Now im stuck with my own thoughts
Thinking about this schism
Anyways man, Still not your biggest fan,

Your poem needs some work 😂
@@underduress5761 I know, it's awful. I call it anti-haipuke.
I do the same with my wife.. I just stand there very still avoiding quick movements. I’m usually ok..
Oh I believe a right leash is pureee energy- of the wrong kind.
I want to apply your training to my dog, but i think the ship has sailed.
First of all she's more like a cat, so does dog training even apply? 🤭
She's super old, almost deaf, almost blind and very sweet and shy. Only trusts me and hides from others.
Got her off the streets with a trap. She was out there for weeks, and nobody could get to her. Then, hot dogs and peanut butter lured her into the trap.
We went to the dog park once. She sat next to me on the bench, looking down at those four-legged, silly peasants.
I do apply your rules for scared dogs, like desensitization and pushing boundaries etc. She's fine with it all since I'm there.
Nobody else can train her since nobody else in the house gives a rat's ass about her. 😢
I tried your "come" method. She got more and more shy each time i put out my hand. I think an episode with her would be the shortest episode ever since you would cut out all the boring parts. 😂 However, life with her is pretty sweet. ❤
“She's super old, almost deaf, almost blind and very sweet and shy.” At this point in her life, which sounds pretty amazing thanks to you, I would probably just let her be. If her quality of life gives her pleasure, let the time she has remaining be showered with love. As the caretaker of three senior dogs myself, every day is a gift. She is blessed beyond measure to have you.💕🐾🐾
@topcatwarrior couldn't agree more! She added nothing but joy to our life. Well, and a few carpet stains, but let's not talk about that.
She has never been a troublemaker. When I introduced her to my senior cats years ago, the cats didn't even move from their seats. They knew she's not a threat.
She never glanced at our chickens either. She really wanted to blend in, and she did.
From time to time, her friend comes over. A toy poodle.
She doesn't care about the friend. Neither does the friend care about her. They sit on the couch, ignoring each other. Kind of like british royalty. She really is a princess, but a very undemanding one.❤️
Prince is beautiful af
Prince is the best boy
🔥🔥
The fact your dog got docked and clipped ears for looks
Maybe some dogs don’t want to have dog friends? When do you know that a dog wants to be solo?
Also Joel keeps deleting my comments. Why?? He can't take criticism
Depends if you're offering useful criticism or are simply being a trolling bully. Consider what you're writing and how it comes across
Because there's a difference between constructive criticism and emotional heckling.

That Akita is cross breed
How do you know what breed the dog is if he’s not yours
@coolshield8197 I can clearly see with mine own eyes Don't be silly
@@MrBurty5 but it’s not your dog you wouldn’t know
@coolshield8197like I said stop being silly I don't know what breed it is, but it's not a purebred Akita
Looks perfectly purebred to me. why would you think its not?
That's an Akita? Damn that's super poorly bred if so.
I also thought that was not a 'Japanese Akita' dog.
Thank you for pointing that out.
I looked up what the Japanese Akita Inu standard looks like.
"Akita Inu are large dogs with long legs, a stout, waist-high build and short hair. Rarely, a long-haired type called 'mukuge' is born, but this is not recognised as the standard."
Do a little research on the breed and you will find that the long-haired “wooly” coat is the result of a recessive gene carried by some Japanese and American Akitas.🤷🏻♀️
@@Satomori323 the gene that gives them the long coat is actually very very common, even if it is recessive. Unless both parents are tested it is not uncommon for a pup or two in every litter to be long coated. Has nothing to do with being poorly bred.
That's a small akita
Why is Joel so against positive only people? There is nothing wrong with us.
You seem to need attention. Here you go. The concept that positive only is useful to all dogs is silly. And the problem with you types is that you villainize any training methods that aren't the same as yours, demonstrating a close-mindedness and hostility that turns people off. It really isn't sensible. Dogs don't teach each other through "positive only." Dominance and hierarchy are a fundamental part of canine psychology and instinct. To flatout deny the existence of them is counterintuitive to the dogs and their human companions. Correcting bad behavior isn't mean and won't hurt their feelings. It teaches and focuses them. They are animals, not babies.
@@christineleonard1110 pretty sure it's the other way around and then there's the whole 10,000 dogs thing...
He sure isn't going to other channels and trying to tear them down in the commemts like some do.
@@rptrick79She only believes in force free methods when dealing with 'fur babies," not people (except for collars, leashes, muzzles, fences, walls, doors, etc those kind of restrictive tools that force a dog to be under their submission don't count)
The thing isn't that they love animals, it's that the hate people (especially people that are balanced and sound in mind). They want people to hold to the same cognitive dissonance, so they can feel like they've accomplished something in controlling other people's thoughts.
It's really messed up, but look at who they idolize; charlatans, frauds and sponsorship shoppers
Because it’s not balanced training. Dogs need corrections too. Positive training only isn’t going to work when it comes to the type of behaviors seen in Joel’s videos. These guys are beyond only positive training, they’re not puppies.
@@pinkmako7682 Force Free is a misnomer anyway, yet I've never even seen positive reinforcement correct unwanted behavior even in puppies.
You give them positive reinforcement for doing well and negative consequences for doing bad. That's how the world works. 🤷♂️
This isnt going to fix this dog guaranteed 100% long term at all! This Cesar B.S. doesnt work! Thats why Ceser has to remove so many dogs from owners and can not send them home again. There is a permanent way to fix this, by another trainer who is my mentor, but this isnt the place to post it. But this Cesar stuff will not work!
If u mention u have a mentor who does better than Cesar & Joel, might as well state his/her name?
Because they're just talking rubbish
As Joel says …
“Where’s the videos ?”
“Proof is in the pudding”
Making a grand conclusion from a ten minute snippet attests to your sheer genius, said no one ever.🤦🏻♀️
If were you, I'd be too embarrassed to mention his name too. Especially here (like you said) on a channel that has hundreds of videos that actually demonstrate EFFECTIVELY TRAINING DOGS WITH LASTING CORRECTIONS USING METHODS THAT WE CAN ALL SEE WORKING 😂
Yeah my huskies hackles always raised when we played. When he was young and his back hair was much longer than the rest, he looked like a razorback.
