Great stuff. People need to learn that discipline is not the same as abuse. This video perfectly demonstrates how to give corrections without hurting the dog.
The fact that joel had customers that said another trainer told them to put their dog down says a lot. Even if you want to be a good owner, god knows if youre gonna find a good trainer

Yeah I have a pryadoodle that weights 70% of my weight and I’m 160. And he is a teenager. Very good dog, but he needs the same corrections that Joel talks about
I recommend a gentle leader to a patient. She is a 67 year old woman who has been pulled down twice by big dogs. I told her that is a big problem and she needs the gentle leader. She was walking two big dogs with harnesses. It was just crazy
It is good to see how Beckman is dominant but not domineering with dogs. I like how he was honest about other behaviors that irritate guests in addition to jumping, such as licking and demanding constant affection from guests. Correcting consistently with a modest consequence is best for the dog, and best for you as it increases your sense of control in the situation and siphons off your frustration. I don't understand why people feel guilty that the dog looks a little disgruntled when corrected. (Who isn't taken aback when thwarted?) If you continually put up with terrible behavior, at some point you will lose your temper and are in danger of acting impulsively towards the dog.
Well.. speaking about being rude to other people in their own house. Someone should have told Joel "off" and grabbed him, as he put his foot (with his SHOE on!) inside that lady's house on her furniture - twice. 😂
Omg I totally just noticed the replies.. Now that I'm using that perspective.. I'm glad my hubby doesn't stick his head up everyone's dress and drool when he smells women's like the dog does tho, that's for sure. He sure is a good boy!
I love that the owner had great results following Joel's house call. Also the 2 dogs at the end double teaming Joel with the lick you, pet me stuff was hilarious.
When my chihuahua wants to be picked up, he comes to you puts his head down, and gives you his handle. He doesn't like to be picked up any other way, and even our vet picks him up by his handle. He cries if you don't use his handle. He is very old and I think he has some aches and pains.
Joel was actually talking to everyone who was watching the video. He did that because all the people that do not like him wait for him to hurt a dog so they can call him out. They would have jumped on that. “He yanked and pulled on a golden retriever by his hair and skin. How awful!”
I heard gentle leaders can break snap or pull on neck ingury or Mae a sore neck .That's why I wouldn't use one .... Seeing and hearing about can't lead a horse using a halter makes more sense As I have been using a harness the guy at the pet store told me to use a harness instead of he felt collar ..He also told me he is a dog trainer and knows harnesses are the best to use 1.5 months later broken harness my arms feel like hey are going to come out of my sockets.. I have abig dog I am 64 Catahuhla Leoperd dog
Love this! Big difference between punishing a dog and providing feedback to them that something is unacceptable. No participation medals with dogs I’m afraid. Great to see how the owner implemented the head harness work too. 😊
“No participation medals with dogs I'm afraid.” 👏 LOVE THAT! ❤️ (If I read it right.) An excellent way to say, “Nope, that's not going to work here,” to the owners that “might” think Joel is being a little harsh.
We all need constructive criticism, and so do dogs. I loathe it so much when owners accept bad behaviour from their dogs and do nothing to correct them. They will just make everyone's lives around them miserable, and I'm sure the dog doesn't want that, but just doesn't understand it from verbal feedback, so some physical way that doesn't hurt them works better.
THIS is what we need more of! I love seeing the "Cesar Milan " style going to people's houses in their environment! I'm not sure how easy it is for you to make these videos, and I will ALWAYS be watching no matter what, but THIS really keeps me engaged. I could watch this for an hour!
@AIuzky yes! I used to love Cesar Millan but ever since I learned about positive reinforcement and then see Joel. I realized that Cesar uses sort of the same methods, but his are very forceful and when he uses his other dogs, they don't really do much to help.
@AIuzky no it's not abusive, do you even watch Joel, him and Cesar align damn near the same, they just both have different techniques... Go somewhere else with your agenda! You probably should learn how to spell too while you're at it.
@instridewith_life you cannot fix aggressive or bad behavior with "positive reinforcement" Joel and Cesar are not against positive reinforcement, they use that too, but with behavior like this you cannot fix it. You really need to educate yourself on dog behavior.
@@rev9fan1 You dont need to tell me to educate myself, I'm very well educated having gone through a dog trainers certification and many years of working with different dogs in my job. I was just commenting on the difference between Joel and Cesar.
We hand fed our dog through the gentle leader, holding it up in front of the dog's face. ALL his food was hand fed this way for a week. Gradually he became welcoming of the Gentle Leader as a cue that good things were going to come from it. Eventually it was hanging over his nose without being buckled up. Then it was buckled. Now he knows it means walkies or chow time whenever the gentle leader comes out, and he wants to wear it. It has to be used to distract attention though, not as a punishment. And never leave it on the dog when alone. Once they hook it off their snout it becomea a goal for them and they are never happy wearing it.
At this point I am 100% certain Joel is correct on the gentle leader. I will say I was most definitely an ignorant owner however after 5 years of not being able to walk my dog without her pulling One session with it and I had her walking at my side for the majority of a walk with a couple stopped corrections. I was mind-blown and it has made me realize how much more I can improve in my dog with a few simple tips. All thanks to Joel. Thank you
The gentle leader does work, don’t it. I’ve got a puller… she is perfect, with the leader on, well still needs correction, but the corrections actually amount to something. She is ok sometimes without it in but I make sure to also carry the leader. If she starts acting up is show it to her, she likes not having it on, and that will sometimes get her to start listening. 😊
I had to use the Sprenger collar with my Doberman. The gentle leader just wasn’t enough. I think my dog actually likes the sprenger better because he doesn’t have something around his face all the time. He seems happier on the walks.
Am I the only one that seen that....when the dog put his paw in Joel's hand while Joel convincing owner that this dog is not getting hurt by being corrected. I felt the dog saying " Oh come on Joel. Let's just be friends and forget the corrections". 😄 This lady would turn me in if she saw me with my 6 month old hybrid Aussie German Shepherd. My dog is the most stubborn I've ever seen. And I love the gentle leader. First time I put that on him went for a walk he laid down like "I'm dying. Take this off". I waited until he figured out I knew he wasn't and I wasn't taking it off. We resumed our walk. Now he yawns when I'm putting it on. For anyone who doesn't know what that yawn means, when he's not sleepy and he never is, look it up. This dog is powerful for 6 months and 45 lbs to my 115 lb body. Once he gets that I won't back off....he gets it. He has to get it before he is stronger than me. He's young so it's inevitable he could soon be a beast. Thanks Joel for helping me.
@@jillsy2815 very jealous & beautiful looking part of the country too! Does make me wonder, is that the sort of money you need to have, to afford an ‘at home’ visit from Joel
@@mitchellbrown9378 Probably so. He's in extremely high demand. He can help more people though if they cone to his facility plus he has everything he needs there, like Prince, other dogs, the smaller pool area and tha larger pasture area. Likely why he seemed to stress this was a "rare" housecall. He does do phone consultations though, which are less expensive. He has a website with the pricing. 🙏🏽🐾❤️
Makes me smile everytime I watch Beckman's videos. To me, there is no one who does it better. I mean look at how Joel handles these two golden retrievers! Even sitting down he's in full boss-mode 😁
When the light retriever pawed Joel I left an audible "aaawwww" and thought "oh god please pet her, she's being so gentle 😭". Wonderful job Joel, just don't put your feet on the furniture please 😅
Great too see how around 19 mins in they sit down with the boss. Correcting them without hurting them as shown here is the way to get a dogs trust and respect.
Gentle leader is the best tool I have ever used. My dog has never pulled much but the gentle leader just made her check-in with me more and pay more attention to what I am doing.
Correct! Paying more attention to what you are doing than doing whatever she wants to do without any boundaries. She stays safe and is a good dog citizen. Dogs don't like to be in trouble all the time. Plus, who doesn't want to know their boundaries so they don't always get into trouble? Dogs want to please us!
As an equestrian, halters for dogs are a great tool haha, theres a reason why horses dont walk around with a collar on their neck! I've seen more unruly dogs trample/drag people than a normal horse in everyday life, which says a lot about halters. (And training) If a horse can patiently and calmly walk beside you, why can't a dog?
I was really skeptical about a head harness for a big dog because it seemed so flimsy, until Joel talked about horses. Then it dawned on me - yes, the head harness doesn't need to be massive - horses don't need a massive halter.
I love gentle leaders!!! Our 80lb German Shepherd/Pitbull terrier/Staffordshire terrier mix became a different dog with one. He came from a shelter where he regularly dragged people who walked him and was even discouraged from a potential home because they were concerned about how stong he is. Once we adopted him I started having major shoulder issues because of his pulling but happened upon the gentle leader in the store. First time he had it on he hit the end of the lead once or twice and it has fixed his pulling most of the time. On occasion his prey drive still gets the better of him and he will go after rabbits but overall it is an amazing tool!!!
13:37 Remember that he also wouldn’t like getting hit by a car. My girl always ran whenever she got the chance. One night she was hit by a car running out the door into the street. Not seriously injured but enough to ding her up for a week. I started watching these videos because I never understood why she wouldn’t listen to me. We have a better understanding now. She looks to me for permission in everything. That’s just good leadership.
Wow! A lot of these behaviors I can see in my 5 month old pup. Glad to know we are on the right track to correction. My husband and I love your videos!
Four hundred thousand subscribers later and I'm still watching. Great work Joel this was a fun one, two beautiful dogs with very normal everyday (annoying) habits and gentle, effective solutions.
What you said about how certain dogs who are coddled and stroked constantly can end up feeling like they always need to be pet is extremely accurate. We foster-failed a pitbull puppy after she was returned by her adopter due to their dog attacking her. She developed kennel cough and problems with her spay incision and needed to be fostered again and we didn’t want to give her up a second time after just loosing our 13 year old dog in the short period between fostering her the first time and her being spayed by the shelter, adopted out and then returned. I kept warning my mother to stop coddling her, stop holding her constantly and stop letting her lick you. I was ignored, licking was her love language they said and I was just mean to her and neglectful. 3 months later she would already start to pout and make little huffs and whines if she was sitting alone and nobody was paying attention to her, and off course they just fed into it. At a year old she’s practically part frog, licks every. I’m not convinced at this point that is not like ocd or something. She even licks at the air occasionally. She’s the calmest pitbull I’ve ever met though and she’s incredibly smart, everyone who meets her is enamored by her. I just wish I was able to get her to stop licking and jumping on people but when half the household refuses to participate in discipline and training there isn’t much I can do.
I love how the older dog was trying to correct the younger dog at the start of the vid. The gentle leader is awesome - I use on both my dogs - game changer. I did find having the neck strap firm stopped a lot of the irritation for them from movement of the nose strap which reduced rubbing at the halter.
I’m going to try this when my daughter and her boyfriend come over, my 2 year old cockapoo just gets off on their energy, which drives her crazy!! Thank you for the ideas Joel!! 🙂
I just adopted an Australian cattle dog/Jack Russell mix last week. Very high energy dog, lots of pull and dash. Did the door method for about 3 minutes before our big evening walk and the stop/turn method as needed during. By far the best job he's done on the leash since I've brought him home. He got a little stubborn towards the end, but I had to forgive him at that point as he had to be a little worn out 😄. And for anyone worried about their dog thinking less of you for "being mean" by correcting them - Even after an hour's worth of corrections while working on the leash tonight, when I sat down after we got home my doggo came right up, laid down on my feet and started nuzzling my legs. He's as happy as ever!
You are amazing with dogs. I wouldn't want anyone else to teach me how to train my dog before you. Everything you do with dogs makes sense to my brain and what I know about dogs from my own experience.
@@jillsy2815 yeah me too but realistically I would be rolling around on the floor playing with two very rude dogs and they wouldnt learn a single thing 🤣
My puppy has one week of "rehearsal of our walk" and he is definitely forgetting to check in, and starting to pull. Daily walks are very commonplace times when we start to build habits. I'm so glad for dog trainers like Beckman's that share their knowledge.
Amazing video!! I need you to make a house call at my friends house. I no longer go because ive been scratched, licked on, jumped on, sat on, food stolen off my plate by her out of control dogs. And there's absolutely no consequence for these behaviors!! It amazes me how some humans allow an animal to control them and take over their homes...without any correction. "Well i dont want to hurt his feelings".
I did my children no justice growing up because I always wanted them to be happy and I loved them so much and I thought I was doing the best thing I could because I remember what it felt like when my father who was a preacher would come off of that pulpit and grab me by my ponytail and drag me to the sunday-school room & whoop my booty. I thought I was for sure abused which technically probably was a little bit but I never wanted my children to feel the way that I did. but it was a necessary evil. I can only imagine how wild and crazy I would have been. I'm sure anyone can guess how that turned out when those teenage years came? Absolutely incredibly horrible! They ran all over me, I couldn't even beg them to do things that I wanted them to do and they absolutely would laugh if I told them to do the dishes. One of my girls was just a naturally great person in life and she chose to be respectful 99% of the time but she still knew there was an option. Now that I have dogs and have gone through my make mistakes phase And I've come out the other end desperate enough to start implementing some discipline and structure. Best thing I could have ever done and I wish I could go back and do it for my kids because I bet you now, I wouldn't be that pushover mom anymore. Dogs and having be risk of them killing each other makes you a little bit more serious and the little bit more dedicated to being consistent and stopping whatever it is that you need to stop to have peace.I really think all these people pleasers in life should own dogs before having children so that they can learn that it's okay not to please everybody all the time. The only way to get your kids to have respect for you and to be able to have that dream relationship with your children when they're older that we all can't wait to get to... They don't even give a crap about you if you don't implement some structure in their life. You have to demand that your children, your dogs, people in general, respect you. People aren't giving it away for free , why should you?
I feel for you, and I’m sorry that happened to you. I wouldn’t want to have grown up the way you had to, and you had to just take it. You can’t blame yourself now. You did the best you could with the skills you had at that time in your life. I would have raised my two boys the way you did if I had gone through what you went through. I had pretty much the opposite experience with my two children. My first son was a good baby and toddler, a respectful and helpful teen. He was a confident, leaning toward cocky young man, he was looked up to, and he wore it well. I was pretty hard on him. I believe every decision we make there is a consequence, and it is either a good one or a bad one for us. I showed my boys that at a very early age. “We need to get ready. Would you like to wear this or this, or I can choose for you. He did not want to get dressed. He was battling me getting dressed. We stopped and talked. He still didn't want to. So, “You can either let me dress you, or you can go the way you are. It’s cold outside.” (it was winter.). He kept battling. I stopped and said., “Since you don't want to get dressed, we’ll go to daycare like you are.” I picked him up sweetly in his T-shirt and diaper and put him in his car seat. (I had taken his clothes out to the car beforehand. We were a block from home, and he said he was “ca-cold.” About a mile away, I asked him if he was ready to put his clothes on, and he said, “ye-yes,” shivering. I stopped the car, and he let me put his clothes on. He never fought me getting dressed again. My family and people thought I was so “mean.” When the boys were little, I let natural consequences play out but was right there for them when they made a decision that they weren't happy with and there to comfort and talk with them about what happened. Screaming in a restaurant, “If you don’t stop screaming, we’re going to the car.” We don’t scream in restaurants. No one else is screaming, are they? Mind you, the screaming was because he couldn't climb and play on the floor under our table. He didn't stop, and out to the car we went. I told him to let me know when he felt better, and we could go back in. He did, and we happily went back in. No grudges were held. They began to believe that I would do what I said I would do. I was consistent. I had to be. They always had a choice. They are wonderful, caring, and thoughtful adult men. But it was hard to do what I knew I had to do. I believe what I did was the best for them. Maybe others don't, and perhaps it was wrong, but I don't believe it was. I was a single mother that loved my boys more than anything. I did what I had to do because I did not have consequences growing up and was very social and happy and utterly clueless about life and had to learn the hard way at 17 when I was out on my own. I wasn't going to let that happen to my boys. Thanks, Pittymama, for reading this long novel. We should go out for coffee. ☕Cheers!
Whenever I see a dog in a harness instead of a collar, 9 times out of 10 the owners have no discipline or control, and the dog has no respect or boundaries. It's a huge 🚩
I like how the white lab put a paw onto you as if asking for pets politely :,) Golden boi is a little easily distracted but I think he is on his way to becoming a gentleman eventually!
I think what people miss is that if a dog has the discipline to pay attention to you and do what you say, then they can do almost anything they want and they'll be happy. But in those 1% of circumstances when there's something wrong, you can get them to do something different.
Joel, I've watched your videos since I got my Shepherd mix 1-1/2 years ago. I kept hearing you talk about gentle leaders and kept thinking how can a simple thing work, but OMG it does. I spent months trying other methods and nothing worked until I tried the gentle leader. Now I can walk my 100 lb dog with no pulling or issues and better yet, I just got a Pyrenees puppy mix and I can walk both at the same time which I thought would never happen
Dogs on beds as soon as they hear a knock on the door. Train this by having family members knock, then take dogs to their beds and reward with roast beef or cheese. Greedy goldens will love this game!
I just love your instructions. I pick up my golden retriever puppy in a week. I’m going to go back and watch all of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have a golden Shepard she is the sweetest but she is also so curious that she gets into trouble a lot they are very smart though just give them time and love and they will learn
I’ve been using halters on my dogs for years & it always surprises me how many people think they harm the dog & that they’re muzzles, truly baffles me. I train lots of dogs in my area & when it comes to leash training a head harness is always my first step! It’s crazy the difference it makes!
When I was a small girl in my 20’s I had a 80lb male pitbull which I struggled with on walks due to pulling. The Gentle Leader stopped the pulling like magic. He didn’t like it at first but got used to it & after a few months.. I never even had to use it again!
Really timely for me. My 2 year Golden looks identical to the golden Golden in this video. I re homed him at 8 months, until then he’d never been walked on a leash or socialised with other dogs (lockdown dog!) consequently he’s been a challenge!! Using your methods he’s now very good (not perfect): Doorway method - 100%. Walking - when he starts to pull (not badly), we stop and he looks up at me then we start BUT he mostly pulls again - I repeat this over and over but still some way to go -80% -ANY ADVICE? Counter surfing - 90%. Not a licker - 100%. His biggest issue has been reactivity to other dogs especially black & white! Using your reactivity techniques he’s now able to meet most other dogs ‘normally’ without ‘kicking off’ so - 90%. [main issue here is owners who haven’t got a clue!…using long extendable leads, looking at their phone, saying “good boy/girl” when their dog is kicking off!]. I know you often provide advice to owners in your videos but maybe you could consider a video that deals with what owners MUST do and what they SHOULD NOT do ….difficult I appreciate as all people and dogs have their own personality. BIG THANKS JOEL FOR ALL YOUR HELP…..OH AND GOOD LUCK TO THE OWNER OF THESE TWO LOVELY GOLDENS. From Cambridge UK🇬🇧
Great to see Joel! My pup is doing great outside but gets very excited when I have guests, love to see more housecalls to show how to deal with problems at home. Cheers from 🇸🇪

He's a brilliant dog trainer but really, that was rude. I think she should have given him a correction 😂

“He can, not like things in life”…YES. People need to hear this too.
It is good to see how Beckman is dominant but not domineering with dogs. I like how he was honest about other behaviors that irritate guests in addition to jumping, such as licking and demanding constant affection from guests. Correcting consistently with a modest consequence is best for the dog, and best for you as it increases your sense of control in the situation and siphons off your frustration. I don't understand why people feel guilty that the dog looks a little disgruntled when corrected. (Who isn't taken aback when thwarted?)

I love that the owner had great results following Joel's house call. Also the 2 dogs at the end double teaming Joel with the lick you, pet me stuff was hilarious.
I laughed so hard when you said “calm down I picked him up by the harness” 😅
When my chihuahua wants to be picked up, he comes to you puts his head down, and gives you his handle. He doesn't like to be picked up any other way, and even our vet picks him up by his handle. He cries if you don't use his handle. He is very old and I think he has some aches and pains.
Joel was actually talking to everyone who was watching the video. He did that because all the people that do not like him wait for him to hurt a dog so they can call him out. They would have jumped on that. “He yanked and pulled on a golden retriever by his hair and skin. How awful!”
I wouldn't have had a problem if he grabbed some loose skin. Dogs grab each other as such all the time.
Not all dogs need gentle leader, but some of them definitely do 😆
I know, mine had a muzzle like that and that's amazing

Love this! Big difference between punishing a dog and providing feedback to them that something is unacceptable. No participation medals with dogs I’m afraid. Great to see how the owner implemented the head harness work too. 😊
That part is very important!
“No participation medals with dogs I'm afraid.” 👏 LOVE THAT! ❤️ (If I read it right.)
An excellent way to say, “Nope, that's not going to work here,” to the owners that “might” think Joel is being a little harsh.
We all need constructive criticism, and so do dogs. I loathe it so much when owners accept bad behaviour from their dogs and do nothing to correct them. They will just make everyone's lives around them miserable, and I'm sure the dog doesn't want that, but just doesn't understand it from verbal feedback, so some physical way that doesn't hurt them works better.
The dogs love the mean guy 😂. As always great advice.
The golden Golden is really stubborn! It’s really cool to watch Joel work with the dogs!
THIS is what we need more of! I love seeing the "Cesar Milan " style going to people's houses in their environment! I'm not sure how easy it is for you to make these videos, and I will ALWAYS be watching no matter what, but THIS really keeps me engaged. I could watch this for an hour!
@AIuzky yes! I used to love Cesar Millan but ever since I learned about positive reinforcement and then see Joel. I realized that Cesar uses sort of the same methods, but his are very forceful and when he uses his other dogs, they don't really do much to help.
@AIuzky no it's not abusive, do you even watch Joel, him and Cesar align damn near the same, they just both have different techniques... Go somewhere else with your agenda! You probably should learn how to spell too while you're at it.
@instridewith_life you cannot fix aggressive or bad behavior with "positive reinforcement" Joel and Cesar are not against positive reinforcement, they use that too, but with behavior like this you cannot fix it. You really need to educate yourself on dog behavior.
@@rev9fan1 You dont need to tell me to educate myself, I'm very well educated having gone through a dog trainers certification and many years of working with different dogs in my job. I was just commenting on the difference between Joel and Cesar.
@AIuzky Depends on the dog. He has some insane dogs.
We hand fed our dog through the gentle leader, holding it up in front of the dog's face.
ALL his food was hand fed this way for a week.
Gradually he became welcoming of the Gentle Leader as a cue that good things were going to come from it.
Eventually it was hanging over his nose without being buckled up. Then it was buckled.
Now he knows it means walkies or chow time whenever the gentle leader comes out, and he wants to wear it.
It has to be used to distract attention though, not as a punishment.
And never leave it on the dog when alone.
Once they hook it off their snout it becomea a goal for them and they are never happy wearing it.
At this point I am 100% certain Joel is correct on the gentle leader. I will say I was most definitely an ignorant owner however after 5 years of not being able to walk my dog without her pulling One session with it and I had her walking at my side for the majority of a walk with a couple stopped corrections. I was mind-blown and it has made me realize how much more I can improve in my dog with a few simple tips. All thanks to Joel. Thank you
Do you know what Gentle leader he recommends ?
@beckygwinn2107 that's literally the name of the item "gentle leader"
The gentle leader does work, don’t it. I’ve got a puller… she is perfect, with the leader on, well still needs correction, but the corrections actually amount to something. She is ok sometimes without it in but I make sure to also carry the leader. If she starts acting up is show it to her, she likes not having it on, and that will sometimes get her to start listening. 😊
I had to use the Sprenger collar with my Doberman. The gentle leader just wasn’t enough. I think my dog actually likes the sprenger better because he doesn’t have something around his face all the time. He seems happier on the walks.
@@markhoffmantotally agree. Prong is way better than any head collar. Clearer communication and less annoying to the dog.
Am I the only one that seen that....when the dog put his paw in Joel's hand while Joel convincing owner that this dog is not getting hurt by being corrected. I felt the dog saying " Oh come on Joel. Let's just be friends and forget the corrections". 😄 This lady would turn me in if she saw me with my 6 month old hybrid Aussie German Shepherd. My dog is the most stubborn I've ever seen. And I love the gentle leader. First time I put that on him went for a walk he laid down like "I'm dying. Take this off". I waited until he figured out I knew he wasn't and I wasn't taking it off. We resumed our walk. Now he yawns when I'm putting it on. For anyone who doesn't know what that yawn means, when he's not sleepy and he never is, look it up. This dog is powerful for 6 months and 45 lbs to my 115 lb body. Once he gets that I won't back off....he gets it. He has to get it before he is stronger than me. He's young so it's inevitable he could soon be a beast. Thanks Joel for helping me.
When a dog puts a paw in your hand, it means "I like you."
What a house, by the way?! haha
Right?! The cleanliness, style, vastness, the view... WOW
@@jillsy2815 very jealous & beautiful looking part of the country too! Does make me wonder, is that the sort of money you need to have, to afford an ‘at home’ visit from Joel
@@mitchellbrown9378 Probably so. He's in extremely high demand. He can help more people though if they cone to his facility plus he has everything he needs there, like Prince, other dogs, the smaller pool area and tha larger pasture area. Likely why he seemed to stress this was a "rare" housecall. He does do phone consultations though, which are less expensive. He has a website with the pricing. 🙏🏽🐾❤️
Wow their property is gorgeous!!
That's a nice house.
right?! It was hard to get past that and actually watch the vid! 😂
Makes me smile everytime I watch Beckman's videos. To me, there is no one who does it better. I mean look at how Joel handles these two golden retrievers!
Even sitting down he's in full boss-mode 😁
yes!!!! Both dogs were like, "Okay, now what are we going to do?" Full attention❤
that back yard is INSANE
That dog was pumped!
When the light retriever pawed Joel I left an audible "aaawwww" and thought "oh god please pet her, she's being so gentle 😭".
Wonderful job Joel, just don't put your feet on the furniture please 😅
I think we’re in a gray area on whether a foot can be put on that thing
@@BDTraining fair 😅
@@BDTraining It looks like its meant to be stepped on
That paw touching is a definite Golden thing
Great too see how around 19 mins in they sit down with the boss. Correcting them without hurting them as shown here is the way to get a dogs trust and respect.
This is how dogs turn out when they are NEVER taught boundaries. Disciplining dogs is NECESSARY. How will they learn if you never correct it.
Remember, “This is not the channel to shame the owners of the dogs on this channel.”

Gentle leader is the best tool I have ever used. My dog has never pulled much but the gentle leader just made her check-in with me more and pay more attention to what I am doing.
Correct! Paying more attention to what you are doing than doing whatever she wants to do without any boundaries. She stays safe and is a good dog citizen. Dogs don't like to be in trouble all the time. Plus, who doesn't want to know their boundaries so they don't always get into trouble? Dogs want to please us!
As an equestrian, halters for dogs are a great tool haha, theres a reason why horses dont walk around with a collar on their neck! I've seen more unruly dogs trample/drag people than a normal horse in everyday life, which says a lot about halters. (And training) If a horse can patiently and calmly walk beside you, why can't a dog?
I was really skeptical about a head harness for a big dog because it seemed so flimsy, until Joel talked about horses. Then it dawned on me - yes, the head harness doesn't need to be massive - horses don't need a massive halter.
I love gentle leaders!!! Our 80lb German Shepherd/Pitbull terrier/Staffordshire terrier mix became a different dog with one. He came from a shelter where he regularly dragged people who walked him and was even discouraged from a potential home because they were concerned about how stong he is. Once we adopted him I started having major shoulder issues because of his pulling but happened upon the gentle leader in the store. First time he had it on he hit the end of the lead once or twice and it has fixed his pulling most of the time. On occasion his prey drive still gets the better of him and he will go after rabbits but overall it is an amazing tool!!!
Love this! Seeing training in real world, in-home situations is gold.
Those head halters are great. It's what they use for horses, but instead for dogs, especially when they are so strong.
He’s a beauty
What a GORGEOUS view this home has!!!!
1:51 a smile that could light up any room!
"have to do it 50 times a day or whatever it takes to get them to understand that behavior is not acceptable." Great video Joel!
13:37 Remember that he also wouldn’t like getting hit by a car. My girl always ran whenever she got the chance. One night she was hit by a car running out the door into the street. Not seriously injured but enough to ding her up for a week. I started watching these videos because I never understood why she wouldn’t listen to me. We have a better understanding now. She looks to me for permission in everything. That’s just good leadership.
I'm so sorry your dog went through that. I hope she's doing fine now!
It's so nice to see you with softer dogs / lighter cases, to see how you adjust to the type of dog and level of behavior
Well done Joel ❤❤
thank you good job dog trainer!
Joel you can make a compilation just from this episode 😂
I love the “calm down I picked him up by the harness”….CLASSIC!
He said that for all the viewers of the video.
@@User7688.--_ yes, I get it
Great video, Joel.
This is exactly what I needed for my overly excited 70lb dog. Thank you!
I know, his videos are helpful
Wow! A lot of these behaviors I can see in my 5 month old pup. Glad to know we are on the right track to correction. My husband and I love your videos!
Four hundred thousand subscribers later and I'm still watching. Great work Joel this was a fun one, two beautiful dogs with very normal everyday (annoying) habits and gentle, effective solutions.
What you said about how certain dogs who are coddled and stroked constantly can end up feeling like they always need to be pet is extremely accurate.
We foster-failed a pitbull puppy after she was returned by her adopter due to their dog attacking her. She developed kennel cough and problems with her spay incision and needed to be fostered again and we didn’t want to give her up a second time after just loosing our 13 year old dog in the short period between fostering her the first time and her being spayed by the shelter, adopted out and then returned.
I kept warning my mother to stop coddling her, stop holding her constantly and stop letting her lick you. I was ignored, licking was her love language they said and I was just mean to her and neglectful. 3 months later she would already start to pout and make little huffs and whines if she was sitting alone and nobody was paying attention to her, and off course they just fed into it. At a year old she’s practically part frog, licks every. I’m not convinced at this point that is not like ocd or something. She even licks at the air occasionally. She’s the calmest pitbull I’ve ever met though and she’s incredibly smart, everyone who meets her is enamored by her. I just wish I was able to get her to stop licking and jumping on people but when half the household refuses to participate in discipline and training there isn’t much I can do.
I love how the older dog was trying to correct the younger dog at the start of the vid. The gentle leader is awesome - I use on both my dogs - game changer. I did find having the neck strap firm stopped a lot of the irritation for them from movement of the nose strap which reduced rubbing at the halter.
Give the hite one a treat it was being so good..😂
I’m going to try this when my daughter and her boyfriend come over, my 2 year old cockapoo just gets off on their energy, which drives her crazy!!
Thank you for the ideas Joel!! 🙂
I just adopted an Australian cattle dog/Jack Russell mix last week. Very high energy dog, lots of pull and dash. Did the door method for about 3 minutes before our big evening walk and the stop/turn method as needed during. By far the best job he's done on the leash since I've brought him home. He got a little stubborn towards the end, but I had to forgive him at that point as he had to be a little worn out 😄.
And for anyone worried about their dog thinking less of you for "being mean" by correcting them - Even after an hour's worth of corrections while working on the leash tonight, when I sat down after we got home my doggo came right up, laid down on my feet and started nuzzling my legs. He's as happy as ever!
Love the text at the emd, another Beckman win!
You are amazing with dogs. I wouldn't want anyone else to teach me how to train my dog before you. Everything you do with dogs makes sense to my brain and what I know about dogs from my own experience.
You said “all day” all day 😂😂😂
😂
It’s crazy you have to put those “I am not hurting the dog” disclaimers
Yes! And the owner was even surprised how much the dogs loved Joel! But she learned.
I was laughing at the thumbnail for this one longer than I’d care to admit 😂
I so needed this video. My second dog does all of these things. Thank you so much
Super great video.
He can do this all day.
I love love love these videos! AND the view from that house wooooow
right?! That'd be my dream assignment: go train 2 beautiful sweet clean loving Goldens in a gorgeous house with a teachable owner😂
@@jillsy2815 yeah me too but realistically I would be rolling around on the floor playing with two very rude dogs and they wouldnt learn a single thing 🤣
@@Myndi78 🤣That's so fun to do!!! Yes🤣🐾❤️
This is awesome👍❤
My puppy has one week of "rehearsal of our walk" and he is definitely forgetting to check in, and starting to pull. Daily walks are very commonplace times when we start to build habits.
I'm so glad for dog trainers like Beckman's that share their knowledge.
Amazing video!! I need you to make a house call at my friends house. I no longer go because ive been scratched, licked on, jumped on, sat on, food stolen off my plate by her out of control dogs. And there's absolutely no consequence for these behaviors!! It amazes me how some humans allow an animal to control them and take over their homes...without any correction. "Well i dont want to hurt his feelings".
Big House
Great reminder. The leash has rules.
should have taken Prince with you! they are great dogs.
I did my children no justice growing up because I always wanted them to be happy and I loved them so much and I thought I was doing the best thing I could because I remember what it felt like when my father who was a preacher would come off of that pulpit and grab me by my ponytail and drag me to the sunday-school room & whoop my booty. I thought I was for sure abused which technically probably was a little bit but I never wanted my children to feel the way that I did. but it was a necessary evil. I can only imagine how wild and crazy I would have been. I'm sure anyone can guess how that turned out when those teenage years came? Absolutely incredibly horrible! They ran all over me, I couldn't even beg them to do things that I wanted them to do and they absolutely would laugh if I told them to do the dishes. One of my girls was just a naturally great person in life and she chose to be respectful 99% of the time but she still knew there was an option. Now that I have dogs and have gone through my make mistakes phase And I've come out the other end desperate enough to start implementing some discipline and structure. Best thing I could have ever done and I wish I could go back and do it for my kids because I bet you now, I wouldn't be that pushover mom anymore. Dogs and having be risk of them killing each other makes you a little bit more serious and the little bit more dedicated to being consistent and stopping whatever it is that you need to stop to have peace.I really think all these people pleasers in life should own dogs before having children so that they can learn that it's okay not to please everybody all the time. The only way to get your kids to have respect for you and to be able to have that dream relationship with your children when they're older that we all can't wait to get to... They don't even give a crap about you if you don't implement some structure in their life. You have to demand that your children, your dogs, people in general, respect you. People aren't giving it away for free , why should you?
I feel for you, and I’m sorry that happened to you. I wouldn’t want to have grown up the way you had to, and you had to just take it. You can’t blame yourself now. You did the best you could with the skills you had at that time in your life. I would have raised my two boys the way you did if I had gone through what you went through.
I had pretty much the opposite experience with my two children. My first son was a good baby and toddler, a respectful and helpful teen. He was a confident, leaning toward cocky young man, he was looked up to, and he wore it well. I was pretty hard on him. I believe every decision we make there is a consequence, and it is either a good one or a bad one for us.
I showed my boys that at a very early age. “We need to get ready. Would you like to wear this or this, or I can choose for you. He did not want to get dressed. He was battling me getting dressed. We stopped and talked. He still didn't want to. So, “You can either let me dress you, or you can go the way you are. It’s cold outside.” (it was winter.). He kept battling. I stopped and said., “Since you don't want to get dressed, we’ll go to daycare like you are.” I picked him up sweetly in his T-shirt and diaper and put him in his car seat. (I had taken his clothes out to the car beforehand. We were a block from home, and he said he was “ca-cold.” About a mile away, I asked him if he was ready to put his clothes on, and he said, “ye-yes,” shivering. I stopped the car, and he let me put his clothes on. He never fought me getting dressed again.
My family and people thought I was so “mean.” When the boys were little, I let natural consequences play out but was right there for them when they made a decision that they weren't happy with and there to comfort and talk with them about what happened.
Screaming in a restaurant, “If you don’t stop screaming, we’re going to the car.” We don’t scream in restaurants. No one else is screaming, are they? Mind you, the screaming was because he couldn't climb and play on the floor under our table. He didn't stop, and out to the car we went. I told him to let me know when he felt better, and we could go back in. He did, and we happily went back in. No grudges were held. They began to believe that I would do what I said I would do. I was consistent. I had to be. They always had a choice.
They are wonderful, caring, and thoughtful adult men. But it was hard to do what I knew I had to do. I believe what I did was the best for them. Maybe others don't, and perhaps it was wrong, but I don't believe it was. I was a single mother that loved my boys more than anything. I did what I had to do because I did not have consequences growing up and was very social and happy and utterly clueless about life and had to learn the hard way at 17 when I was out on my own. I wasn't going to let that happen to my boys. Thanks, Pittymama, for reading this long novel. We should go out for coffee. ☕Cheers!
@@pittymama4500, I'm so sad. I am more than sorry that happened to you. ❤️
Whenever I see a dog in a harness instead of a collar, 9 times out of 10 the owners have no discipline or control, and the dog has no respect or boundaries. It's a huge 🚩
I don’t know why but this specific vid of yours made my heart happy 😁💜💜
This was great to see how to fix the every day issues with the tried and true BECK
Those head halters are absolute life savers for so many dog owners. This owner's life is about to change in unimaginable ways.
Sir get your shoes off my hearth
I like how the white lab put a paw onto you as if asking for pets politely :,)
Golden boi is a little easily distracted but I think he is on his way to becoming a gentleman eventually!
Really love the house visits, I hope more videos like this will follow!
"What have I said on my videos?"
I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY!!
Am I right Joel? Am I right?
So I get a treat right?
Boundaries bro
I think what people miss is that if a dog has the discipline to pay attention to you and do what you say, then they can do almost anything they want and they'll be happy. But in those 1% of circumstances when there's something wrong, you can get them to do something different.
She got a nice house
Joel, I've watched your videos since I got my Shepherd mix 1-1/2 years ago. I kept hearing you talk about gentle leaders and kept thinking how can a simple thing work, but OMG it does. I spent months trying other methods and nothing worked until I tried the gentle leader. Now I can walk my 100 lb dog with no pulling or issues and better yet, I just got a Pyrenees puppy mix and I can walk both at the same time which I thought would never happen
Dogs on beds as soon as they hear a knock on the door. Train this by having family members knock, then take dogs to their beds and reward with roast beef or cheese. Greedy goldens will love this game!
That’s one of the methods. It has real world application problems though.
@@BDTraining true - it won't work at a restaurant etc but is still a valuable trait to train for home.
He reminds me of our 7 month old golden
I just love your instructions. I pick up my golden retriever puppy in a week. I’m going to go back and watch all of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
He has a puppy series. Remember, 6-9 mos is the craziest time in the puppy's life and after 9mos you can gett hardcore. Start with love❤
@@jillsy2815 Thank you
I have a golden Shepard she is the sweetest but she is also so curious that she gets into trouble a lot they are very smart though just give them time and love and they will learn
I’ve been using halters on my dogs for years & it always surprises me how many people think they harm the dog & that they’re muzzles, truly baffles me. I train lots of dogs in my area & when it comes to leash training a head harness is always my first step! It’s crazy the difference it makes!
When I was a small girl in my 20’s I had a 80lb male pitbull which I struggled with on walks due to pulling. The Gentle Leader stopped the pulling like magic. He didn’t like it at first but got used to it & after a few months.. I never even had to use it again!
Ha! Said "hey knock it off" to the owner and the dog stopped panting to lay down. Good dog.
Really timely for me. My 2 year Golden looks identical to the golden Golden in this video. I re homed him at 8 months, until then he’d never been walked on a leash or socialised with other dogs (lockdown dog!) consequently he’s been a challenge!!
Using your methods he’s now very good (not perfect): Doorway method - 100%. Walking - when he starts to pull (not badly), we stop and he looks up at me then we start BUT he mostly pulls again - I repeat this over and over but still some way to go -80% -ANY ADVICE? Counter surfing - 90%. Not a licker - 100%. His biggest issue has been reactivity to other dogs especially black & white! Using your reactivity techniques he’s now able to meet most other dogs ‘normally’ without ‘kicking off’ so - 90%. [main issue here is owners who haven’t got a clue!…using long extendable leads, looking at their phone, saying “good boy/girl” when their dog is kicking off!]. I know you often provide advice to owners in your videos but maybe you could consider a video that deals with what owners MUST do and what they SHOULD NOT do ….difficult I appreciate as all people and dogs have their own personality.
BIG THANKS JOEL FOR ALL YOUR HELP…..OH AND GOOD LUCK TO THE OWNER OF THESE TWO LOVELY GOLDENS.
From Cambridge UK🇬🇧
Good comment!
Gorgeous home.. lovely dogs :)
Funny
😂😂😂😂😂 Dog just wanted to lay there
Like he's gonna get away with that with

Great to see Joel! My pup is doing great outside but gets very excited when I have guests, love to see more housecalls to show how to deal with problems at home.
