I really hope everyone is listening to this. I have a Staffy, Shepard, Rott mix. She loves rough play with larger dogs. Thrives in it. Once play is over, she is calm and obedient. She has lost her dog aggression after we started play dates with our friends large breeds. If you can exhaust your dog once or twice a week, you will see an immense change in their unwanted behaviors. What a great vid showcasing this!
@@carlosbarragan6729 family and friends and their friends. Co workers. Anyone who has a dog really. We set up play dates. The first 20 minutes are tense as we introduce them. But after the first play bow, we take the pinch collars off and let them have at it
You have any advice for someone who's dog has bad experiences with other dogs. I'm trying to socialize my dog but he is still showing aggression towards other dogs and I don't know if it's because he's been attacked twice, once by his one and only other dog friend and the second by a Cane Corso. He loves interacting with kids tho for some weird reason adults scare him tho.
Excellent analysis Joel! And what a sweet lady - this dog is so lucky to have landed at her home and she going to you to get a handle on his high energy 🎉
You are by far the best advisor on dog training on RUclips. Clear, concise, honest. All your advice is practical for the average person. You are doing great work. Many thanks. My dog has precisely these issues at the moment.
@@uomo_nel_mirino4705 no. They are literally the same breed. Belgian shepherds are ALL the same breed. The difference is coat type, color, and length. A Belgian mal is short coat, tervuren is long coat, Laekenois is wire coat, and Groenendael is BLACK long coat. They are all supposed to behave like the same dog, have the same body structure, and all have the same purpose. Tervuren are used more for herding, Malinois are used more for police work, but where they originated, they were all used for the same thing, herding. And because we use malinois more for police work, there are different lineages and most are commonly mixed with German shepherd. But a pure line malinois is just a short coated tervuren.
@@marchflowers3304 I know the breed, I'm a Belgian shepherd addict, I'm 31 years old, 25 spent with Belgian shepherds, all my malinois males are van de duvetorre, now I have groenendael, tervueren and malinois who have given birth dozens of puppies, I don't need explanations from wikipedia .. and I can assure you that a Malinois is temperamentally a world apart that no other Belgian shepherd is able to match..How many Belgian Shepherds have you had?
@Uomo_Nel_Mirino i respect your experience with them. I have been researching for years, but ultimately, I have never owned any after ive met multiple, and the energy is too much for me. I know simple hikes or walks arent enough for these dogs, and i can't do the types of dog sports to satiate them. Despite that, they will always be in my heart, and they aren't breeds to be taken lightly.
@@marchflowers3304 they are definitely not a breed to be taken lightly,especially the malin.They learn easily, but intelligence has a price.. i think she is not a right owner for a Belgian shepherd, the tervueren can be more "homely" but needs a owner who imposes rules and behaves like an alpha wolf ..but never being bad and kicking like her ,cause they will never forget it..Never..only increases the stress of an already hyperactive dog.. they are "shadow dogs "obsessed with their owner, if you don't involve them in every aspect of your life they start to have problems.. i have collaborated several times with "La Maschera di Ferro" a top breeder in Italy and he also has always repeated to me the peculiarities of the malinois above the other belgian shepherds and he was right... Bye and have a good day.
This was a great vid! I love that you didn't discount an older lady from a quiet culture with a tiny build! You just taught her what she needed to do! Definitely could have extended the dogs playing segment at the end--pure joy to watch especially that bouncy Golden Doodle🐾❤️
I’m addicted to your videos. I’ve been training dogs, parrots, cats, and horses for years and you have way better insight than most trainers out there. You’re doing behavioral work as much as training and it’s so fun to watch and learn.
This is gonna be a great dog, she recognizes the problem, got help and he's got a good personality and confidence in strange environments, just going through his teens. His owner knows he's a bit nuts and is learning how to handle with it. All of that is a recipe for success, she did a great job bringing her dog here.
Hi from the UK - popping back from the Podcast Ep#2 . I watched this because I have watched all of your videos since I rescued for the first time (18 months ago), and realised very quickly my methods from owning an English Mastiff and a Labrador (from birth) were not going to cut it with an approx 4 year old that has spent her life in a barn then Kennels. You changed the game for me as an owner and I live with the regrets of not giving my previous dogs the clear communication and developing the unbelievable relationship I have with my rescue dog. Thank you, currently have the podcast on in the background whilst "working".
This lady is great for loving the dog enough to work at solving the problem. The diagnosis and therapy that Joel provides is 100% for this dog. I know because I followed Joel's advice and it's has made a HUGE difference in my 55 lb 1-year old crazy rescue Doodle. We have 3 or 4 young dog friends and we set up these roughhouse play dates almost daily. We use our spacious open unfenced dog park when other options aren't available. Plus we do training &/or loose leash patrols daily for discipline. Without both of these things, the dog becomes WAY too crazy within just a few days, especially at night when she knows she will have to go to bed w/o exercise. My 65-year old wife is having the best of times with our dog because of Joel's methods. Me too!
I have an 18th month old mix breed and I was beginning to get afraid of some of her behaviors and I didn't realize she's in her "terrible two's". This makes so much sense. I see Freddie's behavior in this lady's dog. This video had helped me be more aware that there is still more to do to help my girl transition into adulthood more balanced and better behaved. I'm so glad I stumbled here. I needed this!!!
Here are MY reasons for why I think this video is particularly great (in no particular order). A combination of : - The visuals and videography are "prettier" or more beautiful than usual (maybe the rain helped in that respect?) - In just 10 minutes, everything, the entire big picture of why this dog is the way he is and what he needs, was made very clear - especially the explanation of how this dog neeeeeeeeds fast twitch muscle fulfillment. - It covers a topic that I think many dog owners struggle with, usually calling it "hyperactivity"...
Reminds me of my Berner between 10 months and 14 months. Great advice Joel! Did the same type of corrections and my boy is now a certified service dog. 6 years later and he still amazes me.
im constantly impressed with how well trained and well disciplined prince is. almost makes me feel like prince turns into you and is teaching and helping the dog like how you help and teach the owners lol
This is the video I've been waiting for - I have a 16 month old male doberman and he is unlike any of my previous dogs. He slams into me as well as my 6 year old female. I hate when he mean-mugs her like that, every time she tries to re-enter the house especially. We now have a 5 month old male pup as well (from our surprise litter), and I can already tell the pup is going to be the dominant one in the house. I know I've got to assert myself as the leader, and this technique is going to be extremely helpful with that. Thank you so much, Joel!
I believe i have thanked you before but incase I hadn’t yet…..thank you😁 currently raising our 9 m.o giant schnauzer and 9 m.o german shepherd and you, standard, ceasar, will, dd, tom davis, robert and a few others have been treasure troves of knowledge. Been preparing for years and years for when we moved out of the city onto a few acres. We finally did and i have over a year off work to just work with the dogs and settle into the new homestead with the kids and our other critters. Walking loose leash 95% of the time no barking or lunging at other dogs anywhere we go(squirrels are still go time for our schnauzer and accidents still happen occasionally when mom comes home from a week+ away for work🤣) pretty darn good basic obedience. Amazing pups and new members of the family all in all❤️ appreciate everything you do man!!!😊
Your puppy timelines and expectations video from a while ago has been my savior - you seriously calmed my anxiety re expectations. Anyone struggling with a puppy should watch that video. We turn 11 months next week and we are going strong. Thank you!
I love when you said that's the moment you need to speed up she immediately knew what you meant and it put it into action. Not only a sweet awesome lady, but a super smart one too!
Great channel and content, I follow a lot of dog training channels on here and you’re no nonsense approach, very explainable is the best. Much love from Liverpool, England
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you. It is hard to find dogs that care about play as much as my dog. My friend has 5 dogs and not a one cares about him when we meet. They just want to see the humans and search for food. The dog park is a mixed bag. I've tried to setup doggy playdates and no one seems to be serious about it. It's frustrating.
Love this video! I have giant breeds (well over #100) and raised a family. Truly appreciate how you shared tiny human vs powerhouse dog and how to share a holistic idea. Thank you. And Prince is such a great dog ❤️
@@shortymcfox2251 my husbands dream dog is a Newfoundland! Lol that and a Leonberger. We have 2 Saint Bernards ( a 5 month old and a 2 year old) and a 10 month old Great Pyrenees. What’s the temperament like with the Saints you’ve had? My Pyr is the sweetest most gentle dog over but my older St is extremely aggressive towards people and dogs that he hasn’t been acclimated to as puppies.
@@ccap3211 All my Saints (my dogs in general) were acclimated from early on to different situations but I kept a close eye on not over stimulating or letting their stressors get too much. Had our dogs in daycare three days a week, half days since they were spayed/neutered and lots of different classes from obedience to eventual therapy dogs and K9 swimming/life saving for the Newfoundland.
Why most people insist on buying working breeds and trying to make them a pet is beyond me. It usually the dog that pays the ultimate price in the end.
Thanks man..much needed!!!! 88lbs 60 yr, VS 55 lb loving but wild beast,.humping, nipping,..bruises,blood , I,ve been alot tougher the last few days, and he is respecting my authority
Fantastic advise😊 my german Shepherd is 6 months old, and she stays with my daughter, who also has a dog when I am at work. This has helped my dog with releasing excess energy and socialisation. I have noticed a big difference in her behaviour.
My German shepherd needs a playmate. I feel sorry for her sometimes because I don't really trust the people/dogs at our local dog park. My brothers dogs are pass the playing age so they don't really like her (they think she is annoying) and the 1 dog that was perfect for her moved away. Luckily she is getting better. She used to be like the dog in the video but she has improved so much. I just know she loves other dogs and wants to play but they don't always want to play with her
Bless this video. Came at the right time. My 7 month old Doberman is already acting like a teenager. I was seriously considering taking her to your place (I’m like 3 hours away lol) but I had a feeling you’d tell me to ramp up the exercise. So that’s what I did. I currently have no dog friends I can set up with but until I do, I try to take her to play in a baseball field nearby. I hold out the hope someone will ask if they can allow their dogs to play with her.
I got a 2 year old rescue GSD who acted like this. It didn't help that he had no consistency (I'm his 5th home). I basically did what you said here. Now he's 3 and MILES better. Also, this lady is really nice and I hope everything works out for her and her pup ❤ I enjoyed this video
Interesting and informative video - I will definitely try the pushing backwards approach to stopping the jumping with my 2 year old Irish Terrier. I’m curious to know more about your thoughts on the doggy daycare. I try to keep mine to four hours because that’s when the half day rate ends and I don’t often need longer than that. I do take him just for the socialization sometimes as we live rurally with no other dogs close by. He’s not reactive with the dogs there anymore but still is when out on a walk. He is dog selective at the daycare, apparently - if there’s none he likes in that day he will hang out with the employee instead.
Thanks for another excellent topic Joel, I've truly enjoyed watching your videos as I embark on a journey with my 1.5 year old adopted dog. I was wondering if you could speak more to why you shouldn't have your dog at doggy daycare for more than 4 hours? Personally, because I work away from home, I opted to sign up my dog for daycare to give him more stimulation and exercise vs crating for a long period or shorter dog walker situation, but it requires that be there for my entire working day (close to 8-9 hours). He does rest while he's there, but I wanted to hear what concerns you held about the subject? Thanks again!
I’d love to know also. I haven’t put mine into doggy daycare yet but have found one that looks amazing. I have a male, desexed, 15mth boxer and he’s desperate for playtime…🤷🏻♀️
You asked in the podcast #2. Because I have a teenaged dog. That could have been me. But even though we do 90% positive training, your loose leash method was a game changer. I'm sharing this with several friends with teenaged dogs.
love the balance of making sure all the dogs needs get met and then doling out corrections for bad behavior - a lot of acting out in any creature, human and other animals alike, is out of feeling some need isn't met, meeting those needs both helps eliminate 90% of issues and makes sure when you do have to be more severe in corrections that you're doing it to weed out a maladaptive mechanism instead of just teaching your dog that they're not going to be taken care of
I can't thank you enough for the collaring/back up method. I have a problematic newer rescue that goes off the rails if she sees another dog or scary human (any male really). I'm taller than this lady, but similar age. My dog has a harness with a handle. I turn her away from "the problem" , grab her by the harness with two hands and walk her backward. The rest of the walk is better than ever, with obedient behavior and no pulling when she gets to the end of her leash.
I got a rescue malinois pup for my rowdy teenage German shepherd mix with hopes that he would leave my senior olde English bulldog alone and they would keep each other occupied allowing me to focus on other things throughout the day. Fortunately, it worked out exactly as planned. They run around and roughhouse for hours every day without bothering the older dog. She is the perfect companion for him and they wear each other out enough to reign in the craziness. For me, it's a lot easier than having to find dogs for him to play with or make extra time to exercise him outside of their regular walks and training.
When I rescued my current rescue Pit Bull Mix (about a year and a half old), she would nip at me and challenge me daily for like 3 weeks. I did what Joel said...I showed her that I'm stronger...I would grab her by the collar, hold her back, look her in the eyes, and give her a firm, "Leave it!" She's been with us for almost 9 weeks by now and the nipping and challenging doesn't happen anymore. Now we just have this sweet little girl that's so well behaved and all it took was showing her who's the boss for a couple of weeks. She walks real nice on a loose leash now, too.
Even with the dog being as „annoying“ as he was around minute 2. I am impressed with her handling the dog. And you can tell he loves her to bits. I am sure they are gonna get on super well. ❤
Idk what some people are on...she loves her dog and wants to be able to handle it for as long as she can, and the dog clearly loves her. Should she have gotten a different breed? Who cares? Live your own life and love your own animals. Stop trying to be a online dog trainer for people that dont even know you exist.
I appluad these owners reaching out for help. It's a lot to truely take care of a dog the right way. People try to humanize dogs. Although they understand us, nothing can comapre as another dog who speaks the same language. Prince is the ultimate peacekeeper and embassator of this pet.
We had our little girl too pampered. We got her when she was about 1 year old from a kill shelter before she got done for. She was all bones and no fur. On her recovery process she got too pampered since we felt bad about her and had to struggle with some bad behavior for quite a few years. Retraining her took more time than recovering her.
Thank you for this video. I sent it to a couple friends with 1 year olds! I'm hoping to have them each play with my 4 year old a few times a week cuz she needs doggy playtime as well.
@@BDTraining How does a day in dog daycare look like where you worked in your experince? Here we keep play sessions short and sweet. They have several breaks in their own kennels. We mix things up with hikes, agility, nosework etc. and work on specific problems owners might have with individual dogs. The goal is a cool, calm and confident dog. We also teach the owners. I think we run our daycare a little different.
My dog isn't even 5% problematic than dogs you show on your chanell but i'm 100% sure your methods are accurate. My dog is 1yo and whole year was only treats, toys and positive methods. He learned a lot, he know what i expect him to do in different situations but he still lack discipline in some circumstances. From now I'm going to change it a litttle bit and I believe we get great results. Thanks
This helped me being a retiree and owning an adolescent med/large dog. We have no dogs to have ours rough house with. Can you discuss other ways to get that energy out that doesn’t include others? I have used techniques I know having been a lifetime dog owner and long walks, but I’m sure you have ones that more effective.
I work at a doggy day care and see TONS of behavior problems when parents bring pups too often. I’m curious about your comment about no more than 4 hours. I agree 100% just curious how many days a week you recommend so I can recommend properly to dog owners. Different breeds will obviously have a sliding scale but any recommendation or general rule of thumb I would appreciate!
Oop never mind lol, I just watched the second podcast video and my question is answered! My pup comes with me to work (I have 2 dogs one comes with, and one stays at home) I have 2 cattle dogs and now that my younger pup is older (just over 2 years old) I will start leaving him at home some because he is telling me he doesn’t want to do the group play 4-5 times a week for 6 hours. We try to tell parents we are seeing XYZ behavior from your pup and they are telling us they don’t want to do this anymore…could be they don’t want to do it at all, or could be they are coming too much and they are overstimulated. Listen to what your dog is telling you. Trust the people “watching” your dog all day or with them with other dogs when they say your dog is overstimulated or doesn’t want to do the all day play or large group play. Joel you are amazing and I appreciate everything you do! I learn something new every video and am grateful for it!
I’m a senior also. My 2.9 yr old Shepherd does same. So much anxiety. It’s not safe to let her play with other dogs, barks aggressively and pulls, was v asked to leave dog park, she shows lots of reactivity . She is taken out for long walks but it’s not enough to burn energy. I know I need to educate myself so I can work with my baby.
Hi! I have a question. I have one year old épagneul breton. She has been always playful towards dog, well little provocative too. I should have probably stopped this right at the begging but I didn't realise and hoped it would go away. Well she always kind of push other dogs who would bark or growl at her. She run around and tried to play with them. Today one dog who, in the past regularly growled at her, went to her from the back she didn't know about the dog minding her on business. Her reaction was that she turned around and probably little bit bit the dog (I didn't see it properly). I immediately recalled her and she came to me. My question is what should I do in situations like this? Usually she doesn't attack dogs I think she felt threatened. However she should not react like this, probably. Thank you for your advices.
I subscribed! Now im just hoping you also train little dogs cuz i have 3 Chihuahuas an Eskimo and a giant pitbull. The pitbull is actually my best behaved dog.
We love our daily rough play outside! And even though we have three dogs of our own, we still have a few great dog friends we are meeting for playdates. I love to focus my walk-training on the days they had a VERY good play. We still struggle with going on walks with all three together, but when the energy is drained it's way easier for them to succeed. Ofc I give them a few hours of sleep in between!
I thought you were serious about the 5 miles! Lol. We just got our first pet a few months ago. She will be 6months old soon. She jumps up when we come home. I try to crate her when anyone comes home but it's not always possible. I want to not have to crate her and teach her to not jump when someone enters the house. Is it OK for her to jump up during play time and rough housing time? Is it OK for us to rough house with her because she doesn't have any other dogs to play with.
Hi Joel. I was in a park Thursday with my trainer and my next month 18 month old golden who we are training to be a therapy dog. . We are working on leash walking And paying attention amongst other things. We had a man come up to us and lecture my trainer And trying to force my dog to let him pet her We were using a circle walking path. Each time he said something to us with one time trying to force his daughter to pet my dog . I have promised myself I will not let this happen again to either my trainer or dog. Elsie can be shy with some people
Very helpful video, thank you! It is hard sometimes to get into the boss mode when you love your pup like she does. He will probably be an awesome dog when he gets more mature. To see a video like this is extremely helpful. Thank you again.
I have a 6 year old rescue border collie that we adopted last August. She is great EXCEPT she goes absolutely NUTS around other dogs. Great with kids and CATS, but loses her ever loving mind when she sees dogs. We have her in a “reactive rover” class, but it isn’t having the impact we were hoping for. It makes it so hard to take her places. We have quit doing a lot of the things we love because she can’t go. It is so hard.
@@hicknopunk Been working on that. If I whistle she barks and runs to me 100% of the time, UNLESS she sees another dog. I implemented the come call just as he says. It is like a Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde when she sees another dog. She instantly becomes overstimulated and pants like she ran a mile and has the joker grin from Batman. She has two dogs that she is has been around a ton, and she acts normal, but every NEW dog… it is like a flip is switched… even her eyes change and get bigger. I don’t know if it is about finding more dogs for her to be comfortable with, but it’s hard. If we take her to a dog park to be around other dogs, even at a long distance (100 yards away or more). she starts spinning around and whining and losing her mind. She even assumes toddlers or bags are dogs and loses it until they get close enough that she can tell they aren’t a dog.
The basics of any dog ownership is that you want your dog asking you permission for absolutely everything possible. Especially in public. Their mental image of being a good doog should be rooted in asking you for permission, not in being sweet and playful.
I am myself swift with the knee when I am about to get jumped on. Then I extend the leg to push them gently away with my foot when dealing with dogs I do not know. Knowing the dog a bit helps you know if you need to use a play voice or need to be very assertive, but otherwise you need to figure that out fast. If a dog really wants to be friendly, I will kneel down and let it *hug* me without jumping up.
Cool looking dog. Looks like a Keeshond mix. Keeshonds are known for how headstrong and mouthy they can be. They do calm down eventually though. I know this because I have a 7 month old purebreed Kees and he's quite a handful.
I have an 18-month-old Belgian Tervuren who can act out in very similar ways to this one. We keep the "fast-twitch" energy mostly at bay with ball and frisbee fetch sessions, long sniff walks, off-leash exploring walks, agility class and agility work at home, nose work classes, etc. Unfortunately, he is also dog reactive, so playing with other dogs just isn't possible right now. There are no trainers anywhere on the Big Island with helper dogs who could help us work through that issue. The mouthiness is also a challenge, although with patience and calm redirection that is slowly getting better. Any ideas about how to introduce him to playing with another dog, in the absence of a helper dog and a knowledgable trainer assisting the process?
My elderly mom has a teenage australian shephard (one of the smaller ones) and she tried to take him to doggy day care but he doesn't play with the other dogs. He just sits around looking for human attention. Advice or suggestions?
We have dogs that come to us for daycare at 6am and don't get picked up until 7pm and I agree for the majority of dogs that's way too much. I try to keep play groups to one hour followed by 1 hour of rest in a kennel but we just don't have enough kennels... or employees for that mater.
In your experience, why is this a negative thing? I'm just curious because I leave my dog at daycare for 7-8 hours once a week. I know they don't give them breaks.
Playing with other dogs or meeting them. So hard in these days. I’ve run into, on walks, far too many people with dogs they can’t handle. Teenagers walking dogs that don’t listen and just mean dogs. Dog parks don’t allow intact dogs after certain age. It’s hard.
Is it okay if our two sibling, male, 6 month old, large dogs are allowed to rough house? We’ve been separating them because they seem to get too rough?
Is he a husky mix? My husky was like that, but not "20 times jumping" level. I corrected him with your "knee" method and now he stops jumping at me right even before I even lift my knee. Even if he is running full blast and ready to jump, when he sees me look at him and eyeball him, he decides to just stop and back off.
I really hope everyone is listening to this. I have a Staffy, Shepard, Rott mix. She loves rough play with larger dogs. Thrives in it. Once play is over, she is calm and obedient. She has lost her dog aggression after we started play dates with our friends large breeds. If you can exhaust your dog once or twice a week, you will see an immense change in their unwanted behaviors. What a great vid showcasing this!
Amen to that!

You have any advice for someone who's dog has bad experiences with other dogs. I'm trying to socialize my dog but he is still showing aggression towards other dogs and I don't know if it's because he's been attacked twice, once by his one and only other dog friend and the second by a Cane Corso. He loves interacting with kids tho for some weird reason adults scare him tho.
Man, Prince is such a great teacher for other dogs!
During that pushing he did, his mouth was closed and relaxed the whole time. You could tell he wasn't angry. Just giving him a lesson.
Excellent analysis Joel! And what a sweet lady - this dog is so lucky to have landed at her home and she going to you to get a handle on his high energy 🎉

This Belgian tervuren is beautiful. Sadly, a lot of people don’t realize that they are just long-coated Belgian malinois

Hi from the UK - popping back from the Podcast Ep#2 . I watched this because I have watched all of your videos since I rescued for the first time (18 months ago), and realised very quickly my methods from owning an English Mastiff and a Labrador (from birth) were not going to cut it with an approx 4 year old that has spent her life in a barn then Kennels. You changed the game for me as an owner and I live with the regrets of not giving my previous dogs the clear communication and developing the unbelievable relationship I have with my rescue dog. Thank you, currently have the podcast on in the background whilst "working".
What I like about you is that you know your dog and allow him to teach other dogs. This is far more valuable than just trainer and dog
This lady is great for loving the dog enough to work at solving the problem. The diagnosis and therapy that Joel provides is 100% for this dog. I know because I followed Joel's advice and it's has made a HUGE difference in my 55 lb 1-year old crazy rescue Doodle. We have 3 or 4 young dog friends and we set up these roughhouse play dates almost daily. We use our spacious open unfenced dog park when other options aren't available. Plus we do training &/or loose leash patrols daily for discipline. Without both of these things, the dog becomes WAY too crazy within just a few days, especially at night when she knows she will have to go to bed w/o exercise. My 65-year old wife is having the best of times with our dog because of Joel's methods. Me too!
The emotional and situational intelligence and awareness of Prince is amazing to watch😊
I have an 18th month old mix breed and I was beginning to get afraid of some of her behaviors and I didn't realize she's in her "terrible two's". This makes so much sense. I see Freddie's behavior in this lady's dog. This video had helped me be more aware that there is still more to do to help my girl transition into adulthood more balanced and better behaved. I'm so glad I stumbled here. I needed this!!!
Here are MY reasons for why I think this video is particularly great (in no particular order). A combination of :
- The visuals and videography are "prettier" or more beautiful than usual (maybe the rain helped in that respect?)
- In just 10 minutes, everything, the entire big picture of why this dog is the way he is and what he needs, was made very clear - especially the explanation of how this dog neeeeeeeeds fast twitch muscle fulfillment.
- It covers a topic that I think many dog owners struggle with, usually calling it "hyperactivity"...
Thanks
Reminds me of my Berner between 10 months and 14 months. Great advice Joel! Did the same type of corrections and my boy is now a certified service dog. 6 years later and he still amazes me.
im constantly impressed with how well trained and well disciplined prince is. almost makes me feel like prince turns into you and is teaching and helping the dog like how you help and teach the owners lol
This is the video I've been waiting for - I have a 16 month old male doberman and he is unlike any of my previous dogs. He slams into me as well as my 6 year old female. I hate when he mean-mugs her like that, every time she tries to re-enter the house especially. We now have a 5 month old male pup as well (from our surprise litter), and I can already tell the pup is going to be the dominant one in the house. I know I've got to assert myself as the leader, and this technique is going to be extremely helpful with that. Thank you so much, Joel!
I believe i have thanked you before but incase I hadn’t yet…..thank you😁 currently raising our 9 m.o giant schnauzer and 9 m.o german shepherd and you, standard, ceasar, will, dd, tom davis, robert and a few others have been treasure troves of knowledge. Been preparing for years and years for when we moved out of the city onto a few acres. We finally did and i have over a year off work to just work with the dogs and settle into the new homestead with the kids and our other critters. Walking loose leash 95% of the time no barking or lunging at other dogs anywhere we go(squirrels are still go time for our schnauzer and accidents still happen occasionally when mom comes home from a week+ away for work🤣) pretty darn good basic obedience. Amazing pups and new members of the family all in all❤️ appreciate everything you do man!!!😊
Your puppy timelines and expectations video from a while ago has been my savior - you seriously calmed my anxiety re expectations. Anyone struggling with a puppy should watch that video. We turn 11 months next week and we are going strong. Thank you!
I love when you said that's the moment you need to speed up she immediately knew what you meant and it put it into action. Not only a sweet awesome lady, but a super smart one too!
Great channel and content, I follow a lot of dog training channels on here and you’re no nonsense approach, very explainable is the best. Much love from Liverpool, England
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you. It is hard to find dogs that care about play as much as my dog. My friend has 5 dogs and not a one cares about him when we meet. They just want to see the humans and search for food. The dog park is a mixed bag. I've tried to setup doggy playdates and no one seems to be serious about it. It's frustrating.
Love this video! I have giant breeds (well over #100) and raised a family. Truly appreciate how you shared tiny human vs powerhouse dog and how to share a holistic idea. Thank you. And Prince is such a great dog ❤️
What breed of dogs do you have?
@@ccap3211 I had Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands and English Mastiffs. Now we’re empty nesters and I’ve downsized to Great Pyrenees lol
@@shortymcfox2251 my husbands dream dog is a Newfoundland! Lol that and a Leonberger. We have 2 Saint Bernards ( a 5 month old and a 2 year old) and a 10 month old Great Pyrenees. What’s the temperament like with the Saints you’ve had? My Pyr is the sweetest most gentle dog over but my older St is extremely aggressive towards people and dogs that he hasn’t been acclimated to as puppies.
@@ccap3211 All my Saints (my dogs in general) were acclimated from early on to different situations but I kept a close eye on not over stimulating or letting their stressors get too much. Had our dogs in daycare three days a week, half days since they were spayed/neutered and lots of different classes from obedience to eventual therapy dogs and K9 swimming/life saving for the Newfoundland.
Apart from all the obvious that you point out so perfectly... this is one stunningly beautiful dog!
Why most people insist on buying working breeds and trying to make them a pet is beyond me. It usually the dog that pays the ultimate price in the end.
Haha Joel's face when the oodle jumped on him 😂😂😂😂
This describes what my wife and are going through but times 10 with a blue heeler. Subscribed. Hope to hear more about the adolescent phase.
he has LOTS more videos from the last few years check em out
Thanks
Mr.Beckman you are so appreciated!, I have learned how for my dog not to pull me on the leash .
Thanks man..much needed!!!! 88lbs 60 yr, VS 55 lb loving but wild beast,.humping, nipping,..bruises,blood , I,ve been alot tougher the last few days, and he is respecting my authority
Fantastic advise😊 my german Shepherd is 6 months old, and she stays with my daughter, who also has a dog when I am at work. This has helped my dog with releasing excess energy and socialisation. I have noticed a big difference in her behaviour.
My German shepherd needs a playmate. I feel sorry for her sometimes because I don't really trust the people/dogs at our local dog park. My brothers dogs are pass the playing age so they don't really like her (they think she is annoying) and the 1 dog that was perfect for her moved away. Luckily she is getting better. She used to be like the dog in the video but she has improved so much. I just know she loves other dogs and wants to play but they don't always want to play with her
This video was packed with helpful information. And it was a joy to see this dog get to run out his energy 🥰
Bless this video. Came at the right time. My 7 month old Doberman is already acting like a teenager. I was seriously considering taking her to your place (I’m like 3 hours away lol) but I had a feeling you’d tell me to ramp up the exercise. So that’s what I did. I currently have no dog friends I can set up with but until I do, I try to take her to play in a baseball field nearby. I hold out the hope someone will ask if they can allow their dogs to play with her.
Go to a dog park by yourself, spot high energy dogs with owners who know how to handle them. Ask them if they're up for a play session.
I got a 2 year old rescue GSD who acted like this. It didn't help that he had no consistency (I'm his 5th home). I basically did what you said here. Now he's 3 and MILES better. Also, this lady is really nice and I hope everything works out for her and her pup ❤ I enjoyed this video
Interesting and informative video - I will definitely try the pushing backwards approach to stopping the jumping with my 2 year old Irish Terrier. I’m curious to know more about your thoughts on the doggy daycare. I try to keep mine to four hours because that’s when the half day rate ends and I don’t often need longer than that. I do take him just for the socialization sometimes as we live rurally with no other dogs close by. He’s not reactive with the dogs there anymore but still is when out on a walk. He is dog selective at the daycare, apparently - if there’s none he likes in that day he will hang out with the employee instead.
My dog is the same way! Totally fine with the dogs at daycare or at a dog beach, but very reactive when on leash.
That is some spatial pressure from Prince 👍🏼
Thanks for another excellent topic Joel, I've truly enjoyed watching your videos as I embark on a journey with my 1.5 year old adopted dog.
I was wondering if you could speak more to why you shouldn't have your dog at doggy daycare for more than 4 hours? Personally, because I work away from home, I opted to sign up my dog for daycare to give him more stimulation and exercise vs crating for a long period or shorter dog walker situation, but it requires that be there for my entire working day (close to 8-9 hours). He does rest while he's there, but I wanted to hear what concerns you held about the subject?
Thanks again!
I'm also very interested in this. I was under the raw impression that a boarding facility is healthy for them potentially.
I have the same question!
I too have this question.
I’d love to know also. I haven’t put mine into doggy daycare yet but have found one that looks amazing. I have a male, desexed, 15mth boxer and he’s desperate for playtime…🤷🏻♀️
@@louis_iii Im guessing we run our daycare's different.
This owner has the patience of a saint as opposed to Prince who lays down the law within the first minute
… Everything you just said makes sense. Thank you for your valuable advice …
You asked in the podcast #2. Because I have a teenaged dog. That could have been me. But even though we do 90% positive training, your loose leash method was a game changer. I'm sharing this with several friends with teenaged dogs.
love the balance of making sure all the dogs needs get met and then doling out corrections for bad behavior - a lot of acting out in any creature, human and other animals alike, is out of feeling some need isn't met, meeting those needs both helps eliminate 90% of issues and makes sure when you do have to be more severe in corrections that you're doing it to weed out a maladaptive mechanism instead of just teaching your dog that they're not going to be taken care of
I can't thank you enough for the collaring/back up method. I have a problematic newer rescue that goes off the rails if she sees another dog or scary human (any male really). I'm taller than this lady, but similar age. My dog has a harness with a handle. I turn her away from "the problem" , grab her by the harness with two hands and walk her backward. The rest of the walk is better than ever, with obedient behavior and no pulling when she gets to the end of her leash.
Great episode. I hope you give an update on her progress! Thank you.
I got a rescue malinois pup for my rowdy teenage German shepherd mix with hopes that he would leave my senior olde English bulldog alone and they would keep each other occupied allowing me to focus on other things throughout the day. Fortunately, it worked out exactly as planned. They run around and roughhouse for hours every day without bothering the older dog. She is the perfect companion for him and they wear each other out enough to reign in the craziness. For me, it's a lot easier than having to find dogs for him to play with or make extra time to exercise him outside of their regular walks and training.
When I rescued my current rescue Pit Bull Mix (about a year and a half old), she would nip at me and challenge me daily for like 3 weeks. I did what Joel said...I showed her that I'm stronger...I would grab her by the collar, hold her back, look her in the eyes, and give her a firm, "Leave it!" She's been with us for almost 9 weeks by now and the nipping and challenging doesn't happen anymore. Now we just have this sweet little girl that's so well behaved and all it took was showing her who's the boss for a couple of weeks. She walks real nice on a loose leash now, too.
The walk into is so great on so many levels
Joel technically is impressive... always full analysis, observation of the human, dog and then comes the action plan that is Joel and Prince! 👍💪💯
Even with the dog being as „annoying“ as he was around minute 2. I am impressed with her handling the dog. And you can tell he loves her to bits. I am sure they are gonna get on super well. ❤
Great video. He’s so playful. Big ball of crazy. 😂 My trainer also told me, “less lovey, more strict”. Beautiful dog tho!!!!!
Idk what some people are on...she loves her dog and wants to be able to handle it for as long as she can, and the dog clearly loves her. Should she have gotten a different breed? Who cares? Live your own life and love your own animals. Stop trying to be a online dog trainer for people that dont even know you exist.
Prince is phenominal, as well he should be, with a trainer so spectacular!
I appluad these owners reaching out for help. It's a lot to truely take care of a dog the right way. People try to humanize dogs. Although they understand us, nothing can comapre as another dog who speaks the same language. Prince is the ultimate peacekeeper and embassator of this pet.
We had our little girl too pampered. We got her when she was about 1 year old from a kill shelter before she got done for. She was all bones and no fur. On her recovery process she got too pampered since we felt bad about her and had to struggle with some bad behavior for quite a few years. Retraining her took more time than recovering her.
Thank you for this video. I sent it to a couple friends with 1 year olds! I'm hoping to have them each play with my 4 year old a few times a week cuz she needs doggy playtime as well.
Knew from the first jump today MOM was the one who needed training, sometimes we need permission to be the ONE! 👍😎
Can you please explain more about "never leave at doggy daycare more than 4 hours" in your next podcast? Thanks!!
Absolutely
@@BDTraining How does a day in dog daycare look like where you worked in your experince? Here we keep play sessions short and sweet. They have several breaks in their own kennels. We mix things up with hikes, agility, nosework etc. and work on specific problems owners might have with individual dogs. The goal is a cool, calm and confident dog. We also teach the owners. I think we run our daycare a little different.
Thank you again joel for a wonderful video and teaching me more things to do with my dogs ❤
Love the teenage years contents! Thank you.
My dog isn't even 5% problematic than dogs you show on your chanell but i'm 100% sure your methods are accurate. My dog is 1yo and whole year was only treats, toys and positive methods. He learned a lot, he know what i expect him to do in different situations but he still lack discipline in some circumstances. From now I'm going to change it a litttle bit and I believe we get great results. Thanks
Joel and Prince……perfect combination for all your pet problems
“I saw your car shaking” 😂😂
Brilliant video, so timely!
This helped me being a retiree and owning an adolescent med/large dog. We have no dogs to have ours rough house with. Can you discuss other ways to get that energy out that doesn’t include others? I have used techniques I know having been a lifetime dog owner and long walks, but I’m sure you have ones that more effective.
I work at a doggy day care and see TONS of behavior problems when parents bring pups too often. I’m curious about your comment about no more than 4 hours. I agree 100% just curious how many days a week you recommend so I can recommend properly to dog owners. Different breeds will obviously have a sliding scale but any recommendation or general rule of thumb I would appreciate!
Oop never mind lol, I just watched the second podcast video and my question is answered! My pup comes with me to work (I have 2 dogs one comes with, and one stays at home) I have 2 cattle dogs and now that my younger pup is older (just over 2 years old) I will start leaving him at home some because he is telling me he doesn’t want to do the group play 4-5 times a week for 6 hours. We try to tell parents we are seeing XYZ behavior from your pup and they are telling us they don’t want to do this anymore…could be they don’t want to do it at all, or could be they are coming too much and they are overstimulated. Listen to what your dog is telling you. Trust the people “watching” your dog all day or with them with other dogs when they say your dog is overstimulated or doesn’t want to do the all day play or large group play. Joel you are amazing and I appreciate everything you do! I learn something new every video and am grateful for it!
That Prince is one awesome Doberman!
I save your most important vids to my iMessage and share them when I’m at the Dog Park! People’s minds 🤯 with knowledge
My pittie does the same thing with me, I am also a senior, and I am paying lots of attention .😂
I’m a senior also. My 2.9 yr old Shepherd does same. So much anxiety. It’s not safe to let her play with other dogs, barks aggressively and pulls, was v asked to leave dog park, she shows lots of reactivity . She is taken out for long walks but it’s not enough to burn energy. I know I need to educate myself so I can work with my baby.
What do we do if we can't get them around other dogs? Can we rough house with them? Or is this counter intuitive to their training
Hi! I have a question. I have one year old épagneul breton. She has been always playful towards dog, well little provocative too. I should have probably stopped this right at the begging but I didn't realise and hoped it would go away. Well she always kind of push other dogs who would bark or growl at her. She run around and tried to play with them. Today one dog who, in the past regularly growled at her, went to her from the back she didn't know about the dog minding her on business. Her reaction was that she turned around and probably little bit bit the dog (I didn't see it properly). I immediately recalled her and she came to me. My question is what should I do in situations like this? Usually she doesn't attack dogs I think she felt threatened. However she should not react like this, probably. Thank you for your advices.
The muscles on Prince during the slo mo are insane.
I subscribed! Now im just hoping you also train little dogs cuz i have 3 Chihuahuas an Eskimo and a giant pitbull. The pitbull is actually my best behaved dog.
Excellent video. What is this dog's breed. He reminds me of a Keeshond.
Belgian Tervuren.
Prince is such a rad dog
We love our daily rough play outside! And even though we have three dogs of our own, we still have a few great dog friends we are meeting for playdates. I love to focus my walk-training on the days they had a VERY good play. We still struggle with going on walks with all three together, but when the energy is drained it's way easier for them to succeed. Ofc I give them a few hours of sleep in between!
I thought you were serious about the 5 miles! Lol. We just got our first pet a few months ago. She will be 6months old soon. She jumps up when we come home. I try to crate her when anyone comes home but it's not always possible. I want to not have to crate her and teach her to not jump when someone enters the house. Is it OK for her to jump up during play time and rough housing time? Is it OK for us to rough house with her because she doesn't have any other dogs to play with.
I’d love to hear you expand on why more than four hours in day care in not recommended.
Great information. Thank you.
Hi Joel. I was in a park Thursday with my trainer and my next month 18 month old golden who we are training to be a therapy dog. . We are working on leash walking And paying attention amongst other things. We had a man come up to us and lecture my trainer And trying to force my dog to let him pet her We were using a circle walking path. Each time he said something to us with one time trying to force his daughter to pet my dog . I have promised myself I will not let this happen again to either my trainer or dog. Elsie can be shy with some people
Always tell people to f*** off when they are coming at you like this.
Very helpful video, thank you! It is hard sometimes to get into the boss mode when you love your pup like she does. He will probably be an awesome dog when he gets more mature. To see a video like this is extremely helpful. Thank you again.
Is this a malamute/German shepherd mix? Very beautiful dog
It’s a Belgian tervuren
It looks like tervuren in the head.
@@marchflowers3304 Thanks man, never heard of the breed!
@@BlackNo1918 no problem! I’m kind of obsessed with them
I have a 6 year old rescue border collie that we adopted last August. She is great EXCEPT she goes absolutely NUTS around other dogs. Great with kids and CATS, but loses her ever loving mind when she sees dogs. We have her in a “reactive rover” class, but it isn’t having the impact we were hoping for. It makes it so hard to take her places. We have quit doing a lot of the things we love because she can’t go. It is so hard.
My unqualified advice is she needs to respect you. At the very least, if they do that you can call them off every time with one command.
@@hicknopunk Been working on that. If I whistle she barks and runs to me 100% of the time, UNLESS she sees another dog. I implemented the come call just as he says. It is like a Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde when she sees another dog. She instantly becomes overstimulated and pants like she ran a mile and has the joker grin from Batman.
She has two dogs that she is has been around a ton, and she acts normal, but every NEW dog… it is like a flip is switched… even her eyes change and get bigger. I don’t know if it is about finding more dogs for her to be comfortable with, but it’s hard. If we take her to a dog park to be around other dogs, even at a long distance (100 yards away or more). she starts spinning around and whining and losing her mind. She even assumes toddlers or bags are dogs and loses it until they get close enough that she can tell they aren’t a dog.
The basics of any dog ownership is that you want your dog asking you permission for absolutely everything possible. Especially in public. Their mental image of being a good doog should be rooted in asking you for permission, not in being sweet and playful.
that is a beautiful dog, in spite of his rowdyness. What breed is he or combination of breeds. my first thought is a belgian tervuren.
I am myself swift with the knee when I am about to get jumped on. Then I extend the leg to push them gently away with my foot when dealing with dogs I do not know. Knowing the dog a bit helps you know if you need to use a play voice or need to be very assertive, but otherwise you need to figure that out fast.
If a dog really wants to be friendly, I will kneel down and let it *hug* me without jumping up.
Cool looking dog. Looks like a Keeshond mix. Keeshonds are known for how headstrong and mouthy they can be. They do calm down eventually though. I know this because I have a 7 month old purebreed Kees and he's quite a handful.
I have an 18-month-old Belgian Tervuren who can act out in very similar ways to this one. We keep the "fast-twitch" energy mostly at bay with ball and frisbee fetch sessions, long sniff walks, off-leash exploring walks, agility class and agility work at home, nose work classes, etc. Unfortunately, he is also dog reactive, so playing with other dogs just isn't possible right now. There are no trainers anywhere on the Big Island with helper dogs who could help us work through that issue. The mouthiness is also a challenge, although with patience and calm redirection that is slowly getting better. Any ideas about how to introduce him to playing with another dog, in the absence of a helper dog and a knowledgable trainer assisting the process?
What if you don't have other dogs to work with? I live in a rural area.
Is this dog a Belgian sheep dog? Beautiful dog
Why do old folks get such huge energetic dogs?
Such a helpful video! Thanks!
My elderly mom has a teenage australian shephard (one of the smaller ones) and she tried to take him to doggy day care but he doesn't play with the other dogs. He just sits around looking for human attention. Advice or suggestions?
Just curious why you don’t recommend more than a few hours at doggy daycare?
9:00 I love the attitute of the white first dog
You can also turn around every time a dog gets excited..after a few times (hopefully) they put the connection together jumping means no attention.
We have dogs that come to us for daycare at 6am and don't get picked up until 7pm and I agree for the majority of dogs that's way too much. I try to keep play groups to one hour followed by 1 hour of rest in a kennel but we just don't have enough kennels... or employees for that mater.
In your experience, why is this a negative thing?
I'm just curious because I leave my dog at daycare for 7-8 hours once a week. I know they don't give them breaks.
Playing with other dogs or meeting them. So hard in these days. I’ve run into, on walks, far too many people with dogs they can’t handle. Teenagers walking dogs that don’t listen and just mean dogs. Dog parks don’t allow intact dogs after certain age. It’s hard.
What breed is this dog and what the color called?
Belgian Tervuren. Basically a Belgian malinois with a long coat high energy and very smart not for your average owner
Is it okay if our two sibling, male, 6 month old, large dogs are allowed to rough house? We’ve been separating them because they seem to get too rough?
Gorgeous Belgian Tervuren , don’t see many.
Is he a husky mix? My husky was like that, but not "20 times jumping" level. I corrected him with your "knee" method and now he stops jumping at me right even before I even lift my knee. Even if he is running full blast and ready to jump, when he sees me look at him and eyeball him, he decides to just stop and back off.
