This is GREAT to see an average owner take the reigns under your guidance. It’s obviously very helpful to see you do the techniques but to see an owner on a walk and see when the techniques should be used is VERY helpful. Would love to see more videos like this.
the "pop.. NOT a pull" concept is one of the more difficult things to teach some people. Keep up the great work and thanks for the great learning tips.
To see someone being coached was like being coached myself. It’s easy to beat yourself up when you make mistakes and so hearing you giving encouragement all the time was extremely helpful. The guy with the comments really nailed it. I personally struggle with focussing on a destination for a walk and not focussing on the journey and the behaviour. We’re improving all the time since watching these videos. Thank you Joel.
I’m just noticing how much more you would get out of a private session with Joel versus most other trainers. I appreciate that he’s blunt, direct and straight to the point. Doesn’t sugarcoat crap just says only what needs to be said and nothing more. It really allows you to maximize your time with him. That’s what I call money well spent!
@@N3gativeR3FLUX Precisely! Saves everybody time! I feel like it also maximize your session with him and really allows you to get down to business rather than wasting time on BS or conversation LOL
The private sessions are IMO WAY overpriced for 1 hour BUT the boarding/training package is actually quite a good deal. 1850 for 2 weeks which is about $123 a day. To have someone completely transform your dog for $123 a day is a good deal.
This owner is just so sweet. She's dedicated to learn, it's so wholesome to watch. I would wish for a dog that's a bit easier to manage for her, like less heavy, but it's the owners heart that counts ❤
I absolutely need to do this with my dog from the beginning. My dog is a year old now. After watching Joel's "raising a puppy," I've been letting her be a wild pup and building her confidence since I got her at 4 months. Now that she's a year old she's actually been behaving significantly better just on her own. I've been a little hesitant to do this walking method because I know I'll make a lot of mistakes but seeing this video gives me more courage. Gotta make mistakes to learn! Plus my dog finally seems to be in a clearer head space to learn. Seriously, Joel, I have to thank you loads for training dogs and animals for so many years and sharing your information with no bluffs. My dog may not be perfect (nobody is), but she's darn near it thanks to your content. Also I LOVE that you show us how to get dogs with other dogs. My dog is a very social butterfly and if I had listened to others and kept other dogs out of her life, she could've turned out much different. She's met and played with well over 100 different dogs in the past 6 months I've had her. Not only is it excellent exercise but it fulfills her drives and boosts her confidence. There's even been times where she's helped others' dogs get over some of their fears or became a playmate for dogs who have a hard time making friends. Thanks Joel and Prince!
Probably the best video of leash correction I’ve seen. I’m a petite woman with an over 80 lb. year old dog. I’ve been challenged like this in loose leash walking and trying to “pop”/flick the leash for corrections and not pull. I was disappointed when the video ended wanting more of watching a real life owner being trained to partner with her dog. I will be watching this over and over and practicing on every walk. Thank you!
Stop. Pop. Walk. We'll do this all day.. I see merch left & right here.. Edit: props to the owner! Way to go girlie, & thank you thank you for allowing all of us subs to see it thru your eyes & movements. I think for so long we've had it drummed in to never punish dogs bc it's cruel. But the more I'm using this method I'm seeing change & he's just as happy as he was before starting Joel's method. So applauding you today! Noticed, she's grabbing the leash lower down, rather than working the handle only. 👏♥️🐾
Though it felt more like she pulled each time. That leash was already short and she grabbed it with second hand and pulled it down as well. Thought Joel would hammer more on that part. But the dog is huge, almost looks like they walk with a small horse
Fantastic points for training a dog. Thank you. Thank you to the owner for letting us watch. This is exactly what I needed to see because I fully understand the pops when walking now. Edit : Thank you videoing person. : )
Probably the most beneficial video yet. I have implemented many of Joel's techniques and I have seen significant improvement. But watching Joel coach an owner with her own dog is extraordinarily helpful and increases my confidence that I will ultimately be successful with my dogs.
1) Great job owner!!! You can see in the beginning of the video she is almost nervous and uncomfortable to walk her. At the end, her body is more relaxed, more confident and “the boss”. Dog was like “aw she aint messing around now” 2) great to see Joel guide the client 👏🏻
I learned a lot watching this. I’m pulling instead of popping. In my head, I think I’m popping but not. I do proactive stops but now I realize, although my staffie stops he is too far ahead of me. So this video made me realize my mistakes in applying your methods…thanks for helping us dog owners who want well trained dogs and cannot come to see you.
“We don’t want to hold her back from doing the wrong thing.” 🙌🏼 It’s such a dance-btwn the stopping/directional changes, perfecting the pop and it’s timing, and how to maneuver during and after corrections is everything. Thank you for featuring a video on coaching the owner’s handling (, esp a female of a big dog, like me) and the comment you read!
I rescued a 2yr old pug I didn’t know what I was getting myself into she’s so leash reactive, she goes completely NUTS! When she eventually calms down I stop and cry a little then compose myself. Today a women passing by with her dog stopped and shouted from across the street “it’s too late for your dog!” So I’m a little overwhelmed but I won’t give up on this girl. Anyway we are learning everyday, *Pops instead of pulls, I’ll work on that for Petunia’s sake! Thank you!
Don't worry about that woman you'll get there. Did you inherit a covid dog? They are challenging due to not being socialised much. Socialisation is a big key to having a good dog
The point about focusing on getting to the destination is such a good one. I’ve struggled with that. I think, “how is she ever going to get exercise if I don’t take her on a walk?!” I’m now reminding myself it won’t always be like this. She’ll get exercise and be happy AND on my terms….some day. 😉
@@sarahspellman1360 If you have a garden or large room and your dog has some prey drive you could try a flirt pole? It's also a really good opportunity to train leave it and impulse control I find so it's physical and mental stimulation.
So one thing I really liked that this client of yours did was she paid attention and didn’t pull on the leash or give an unnecessary correction when her dog was “with“ her. A lot of people when they are first learning this method (or other variations of this method)just immediately give the dog a correction without giving it a chance to turn around and check in, even though it may look like the dog is about to walk off without you. It’s almost as if you are feeding out the leash/line to give them “enough rope to hang themselves” in a manner of speaking. As you’re giving them That slack you’re getting ready to give a “pop” if you need to. This is why I always reference “feel” in horsemanship. It really isn’t something that can be taught in one session it takes multiple repetitions and lots and lots of practice to begin getting proficient at it.
@@BDTraining I know you get it. As bad as that term is it’s actually pretty accurate. It’s really giving you enough slack to give an effective correction, And a second or two to lower your center of gravity if you need to brace yourself.
@@RomboutVersluijs I agree. Was practice she will gain more feel for exactly how much of a “pop“ is needed for each correction. In this video she is pulling and it’s not the clear, concise communication/signals we strive to give our dogs so that there’s no chance for them to misinterpret. I still think, for this being new to her and her dog, she does a good job of not over reacting like a lot of people mistakenly do. Overall, I commend her for putting herself out there to be critiqued and I think she does a much better job than many, many dog owners, even long-term/lifetime dog owners that can still be clueless. I’d rather see someone be less than 100% but 100% committed to improving the connection/relationship with their dog.
Hi Joel, jimmy in Australia. 2 dogs 130lb Mastiff and a 150ld great dane and could not walk them together!!!! After learning and watching and practice 20 mins each day both dogs are now perfect and a joy to walk!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much
Bravo Sir, bravo. After watching all your content, this video is the missing key. Complete with proactive stops and an owner developing their timing, this is my favorite video yet.
Honestly, all my respect for this guy… he’s got knowledge and years of experience i can see. I just don’t understand why no one can do a video about a dog who really pulls?! This dog is not pulling at all compared to my dog… i just want to see one only one real video when they working with a real problematic dog. I so curious what he would do with a dog like mine😳 because he can give 100 million popps for my dog it will not stop him. He is so great with everything else and with all his commands, we only have problem with walking on lead ( i developed tennis elbow bc of his pulling). He is also 52kg so not much of a difference between me and him, he is a powerhouse. I wish i could find a video when they having a real pulling, stubborn dog to see how they handle it.
Thankyou! Just walked my big Kelpie x with my 14yr son, 1st time he’s seen me applying your technique, he was blown away with how much less reactive our dog is. Obviously still work in progress. This upload is exactly what we all needed to see.
I learn a little with each video. This time I learned a lot! Really helpful to see someone else going through the learning process. Kudos to the client for allowing you to film the session.
This was incredibly helpful! I have struggled with leash walking for longer than I care to admit. My dog heals nicely inside but is easily distracted outside even in our driveway. He constantly scans the environment and will forge ahead. Seeing the owner handle her dog really helped to see where I was making mistakes. The mistakes you miss when you watch trainers handle dogs (as they know what they are doing). I would love more videos in this format!
I feel like no matter how many of your video I watch I'm always learning something new to help me with my own dog. Love what you do and look forward to the next lesson!
Maybe, Joe, regarding the third point of the other comment, it maybe advising people to schedule one hour for what would be otherwise a 15 minutes walk (to the park, so to say). All the process to leave home and the many corrections taking place do takes time, and we should adapt (schedule) the amount of time accordingly, to avoid any rush or lack of focus.
Joel's introduction is very important, detailed and explicit, and should be fully understood, memorized and internalized by everyone who intends to follow the method. Understand everything first before trying to put it into practice. Thank you very much for systematizing and for insisting in your videos to show us how to practice the method.
Thank you so much for showing an owner using your techniques!!! This type of video is so helpful so please film more. I too have a 100lb+ GD who loses her mind when she sees another dog, kid riding bike, loud motorcycle, 4-wheeler, person on skates etc on leash. This is a terrifying image for most and not the impression of a GD I want people to have. My dog having a great life is a goal and your techniques and training are realistic and beneficial that can help achieve that goal!
This was great ... it's great to see a "regular" owner to a.) see how skilled Joel is and how much finesse he has and b.) to see how owners struggle with putting SO MANY things together! Joel is so skilled, it can sometimes look SO EASY ... but he's putting together about 10 things to make his corrections and walk.
This was one of the best videos Joel! I've pretty much binged all of them haha. The aspect of "training the trainer" is really nice and especially the clarity of the frequency of stops, and your comments about doing them in the house, leaving the door, etc. It really just helps put it into perspective the day-to-day aspect of training and what we are expected to be doing. I have a 16mo Old English Sheepdog who is 85lbs and reactive to cars, bikes, etc. We've been doing this method 2-3x a day for about a week and today he showed major improvement when we went to the park.Today he was able to walk nicely on the sidewalk instead of lashing out at the cars, and had no reactivity to some kids on their bikes. He had a few hiccups but I could see the hesitation in his steps, and his lashing out was much milder than previous. Really appreciate this help Joel and team, we'll be keeping it up 100%!
This is the best video ever. I have 3 year old Great Dane that I got two months ago. She listens to me inside the house and in the backyard but she get too excited when we go on walks. I applied these tricks today and she started following it within 10 minutes. Little pops instead of pulling her back really works. It’s amazing. Now I’m not dreading to take her on long walks. I was trying these stops every few minutes before as well with treat rewards and she would listen but it didn’t help her pulling on the leash specially when she sees another dog. Thank you so much for posting this video. I really appreciate it. Made my life a lot easier!!
Hey Joel. You do a lot of loose leash walking video but I think this one is one of my favourites. It's great seeing you walk the dog but even better seeing you coach someone else how to walk their horse sized dog without ever touching the leash. Thank you for the video!
It is really hard for some folks to "get" the pop-i-ness needed. They seem to always keep pulling too long. Might help to put the leash in the owner's upper arm and demonstrate on them so they feel what it's supposed to be like. Short, sharp, and immediately loose again. Great video as always!
Your loose leash walking helped me so much. Now our Rottie knows we are not walking out of the house until his with me. I'm now tackling the leash reactivity. Thank you so much from Australia.
Excellent. I've done this for almost 42 yrs and you are doing great. I've also rehabbed dogs for almost 36 yrs Don't have anybody to do videos for me though. I really don't care. I'm more concerned of training and rehabbing the dogs 😁
I haven't gotten to the Dane yet, but wanted to say thank you for the first part where you demonstrate the loose leash walking and especially what to do at the door. Nice including the comments along with the demonstration.
I loved this type of video Joel! I love you showing us with dogs but I always feel like dogs are better with others than their owners, I would love to see more videos like this of you walking your clients through the process with their dogs ❤ because just like you said people constantly say "the method doesn't work for me" then you can walk them through it and see what they weren't doing correctly or at all and let them know what to change or do better on ❤😊
One of the best in your series on leash walking. The big a-ha for me was near the end when you said the dog was smart and realized she could leave for a bit and then stop prior to the pop. My dog was doing the same thing. Now I know how to tighten that up. Also, the comment about "pop, don't pull" was a key point.
Like the comment as well that "it's a dance". I use that kind of an analogy often as well. Love these videos Joel. Learn something every time even as a seasoned handler and trainer.
Thank you Joel those three points have really helped.. my husband and I have been training our 2 spaniels using your method for 3 days only and have had fantastic results.. each only needed really an hour on day one.. gone from totally pulling every step to getting a few steps then 12, today I walked my year old sprocker boy for 30 minutes ons loose leash! Straight out of the car..second anf third day reinforcement only. We will keep it up!
Tried this on our walk this morning. Couldn’t believe the difference. I usually let my dog smell everything and run over to what attracts her. It totally makes sense though that if you don’t have control over little things how can you have control when another dog or person is approaching. I’m struggling because my dog is very obedient at home and with no distractions but I can’t get her attention on me if another dog or person is on a trail. I now have some hope that things may change if I keep practicing this technique-love your approach.
I messed up with my dog when i first got him and let him meet every dog so now at a year old and 80lbs he whines, screams and lunges because he sees every dog as happy play time and he needs to meet them. It’s hard to practice corrections when the whole neighborhood avoids you. After watching this, I took him to Huntington and after making 3 corrections when we first got there he didn’t bark or lunge anymore. Other dogs on flexi leads and ones that can’t heel were running right up to him and he didn’t react at all. We walked right next to like 30 different dogs with no problems. Already having a solid heel was definitely very helpful before trying this. Thank you so much!!
I want more!!!! This was one of the best yet. Real scenario stuff. Thanks you really are saving dogs lives. I get so emotional because I know things are and will keep getting better.
All three points are great and thank you for posting this. I also wanted to say something I started doing as I had a big issue with number 3. I wanted to go for walks with my dog so bad that I would not stop enough. So now instead of going out for walks to some place. I now go out for timed walks only. No destination just a timer. And yes sometimes we are stuck in from of my house walking back and forth like a crazy person but I see a lot more progress. I got this from some article and the individual called them "structured walks" were the sole point is to ensure your dog pays attention to you.
2 minutes in I already found my problem, I'm pulling and not popping. It's been tough with my new boy since he was tied up most his life (not by me). One day at a time, watching these daily thank you!
Hi Joel, I want to say thankyou for your help.. I have a Rhodesian ridgeback dog (unneutered)20months old. He has a beautiful temperament, but sometimes its a little too much for people who have dogs and i think his smelling other dogs is overboard which you have covered... So I wanted to thank you for breaking down the correction on the walk and checking him back, your detailed breakdown has made the most amazing difference thank you.
I've been watching your videos a lot lately, I miss my dog, I got him when I was around 14 and had him pretty well trained useing these exact methods. He was so good on leash that I never even held the leash it would drag be hind us, when I stopped he stopped and sat when I walked he walked only time he would walk away from me was to pee or poop. I also trained him so when I snapped my fingers he would sit or lay down depending on the hight of my hand when I snapped my fingers. For anyone still struggling with this, just watch Joel's motion he doesn't pull like he's starting a lawn mower, it's just a quick pop, don't wait for the leash to be completely tight, do it when it's about to be tight. I hope one day I can get a dog again I miss going for the walks and the swims
Your videos on leash pulling and reactivity have been a life saver for us. We have a 1 year old border collie who pulls and is very reactive on the leash. I have been working with an educator, I have been trying various techniques and I just couldn't get her to stop. It was getting to the point where we didn't want to take her anywhere where a leash was necessary. I found another of your videos just 2 days ago and have been applying it since, the difference is staggering. We still have difficulties with her lunging at other dogs, at cats and at cars, but the walk in between is nothing like it was before. We'll just have to keep working on the rest. Thank you so much for posting these with such detail.
16:53 I think she did a good job noticing that the dog was about to leave her and gave a good, nicely timed correction. Especially considering this is new for both of them.
This is such a helpful video. I took my girl out and I knew when I got it right and wrong thanks to this. It was brain coaching when you're not even there! Thank you so much! I walked my highly reactive girl past a yappig small dog loose lead with only two reactions, both corrected. I'm on day two of following you. Imagine where we will be in a week!!! Thank you so much! Xxx
Thank you…thank you…thank you! I have a 7 month standard poodle that is very reactive on leash to just about anything that moves; I did watch the video you did with a 3 year standard poodle which you eventually used a gentle leader. Problem with my dog is he sees me bring out the gentle leader and he becomes a 4 legged “tornado”with teeth so…that’s not working out very well, but watching this video helped me learned what I was doing wrong as you corrected this lady with her dog. Really appreciate your no nonsense approach to training and lack of using special tools like e-collars etc.
This is the piece of the puzzle that was missing. I have had my 1 1/2 yr old GSD on a gentle leader for over a year now. He has not been socialized with other dogs due to CV19. So he is reactive to other dogs and people with masks or that stare. He walks on a loose lease, I do the stop change direction thing a lot. I was missing the pop, was pulling more. Will probably have to see Joel for the socialization part. But walks are getting better. Awesome video. You are my go to for training, since I never have had the chance to get to one. ❤
Thanks so much for this video. Your other videos are helping me so much. I so can relate to this lady. The pop makes more sense watching as I’ve been pulling. Plus the gentle leader is definitely a game changer. Thanks so much for all your knowledge 😊
I have a 3 year old labradane (almost 100#) She had been mistreated and adopted me. I noticed when I took her to the dog park recently that she had created some very bad habits. This video is perfect! After watching I started what you suggested inside and she quickly got the message. Thank you Joel;) Beckmans is the BEST!
Great video and very well explained and demonstrated. This technique works 100% when done as exactly as described. Been using this technique for years even before seeing these videos. Brilliant to see it broken down and explained in a professional manner and executed by the dogs owner. Unlike some video where they only show the trainer and the before and after shots of the dogs behaviour. Any half decent trainer may look good on video with the dog but not many can show they can also teach the dog owner the skills required which can be more difficult than training the dog. I've trained my two extremely reactive working line German shepherds using these techniques. Both dogs have weak nerves and one of which (3 year old intact male) was also terrible resource guarder. As described It takes time practice and lots of patients. And yes there were days we never got as far as the garden gate. I can now take both dogs walks passed all previous triggers without so much as a long stare let alone a bark whilst maintaining 100% focus on me. So these techniques DO work! Love this video well done to the trainer, owner and of course the dog.
@@Flippokid i’m not talking about on a gentle leader. I’m referencing part of what he was talking about before they even showed walking with the GD. Just a typical set up of leash and collar of almost any kind, especially a harness will usually just trigger opposition reflex
Very nice variation. So good to see other people than Joel do it. Great job to the lady for agreeing to do the movie and showing that she is willing to learn. What i see is that she is shortening the leash by putting her supportive/loose hand to low on the leash and therefor isnt able to make the "pop". Instead she ends up doing a prolonged pull. Supportive/loose hand should be closer to the grip hand, allowing the extension of the leash needed for pop.
Thank you for the video, Mr. Beckman! Also thanks for sharing Nick Ashman's helpful summary comment! The importance of a properly-timed leash-pop cannot be over-emphasized. Your techniques filled a gaping hole in my own leash-reactivity skills & I thank you so much! I'm now able to help many more clients with their dogs than I was able to before, thanks to your openness in sharing the Beckman Method of loose-leash walking with us! Many of my clients just don't have the "feel" of the technique, so I always carry a second leash. We tie their dog up & ask them to 'be the dog' & have them hold the clip tightly in their hand. I explain (what I understand of) the Method & tell them "you're now a crazy untrained dog" & I have them pull me around while I then copy what most people do when they're trying to"pull" their dog around with ineffective attempts at control. I explain "It's like being on the end of a bungee cord & having fun being bounced around in all kinds of directions, doing your own thing, with no rules & zero consequences, isn't it?" They go, yeah! I say: "So if your dog gets to 'do their own thing' & pull you around & be rude to anyone anytime, that may mean you or your dog could get seriously hurt. So we need to show you how you can teach your dog to be on the same page as you! So now I'm going to let you feel what we teach him to pay attention." So I instruct them " Go ahead, try to pull me around like you did before. Hold on to your end tightly!" Then I let them walk. I stop, lower my center of gravity by bending my knees & turning the opposite way, still rooted, & clamp the leash handle to my hip with both hands, letting them hit the end of the leash. They always stop when they do. But, just like the dog, they're still on a tight leash, not looking back at me. I tell them this. Then I say: "Okay, now I'll do the Beckman technique. Hold on tightly and walk off." They do, and this time, I do the POP when they hit the end of the leash. They always look back at me. I explain "You looked back at me because the POP made it crystal clear to you that you needed to look back at me, right? It will make it just as clear to your dog! Did it hurt? Not at all. It won't hurt your dog either. It'll just make it clearer to him that you're his leader & that you have the strength to teach him how to behave himself when he's on leash with you! Now let's practice... (I take the clip end & hold it, handing them the leash handle) ... "I'm the dog, now. Let's get good at what you need to do. When your POPs are clear enough, I'll look back at you, and maybe even walk at your side for a second. That's when you say GOOD! & give the reward." I don't make it easy. I tell them to walk right through me, like a freight train, when I'm blocking their path, as well! I act out just like their dog, barking & lunging at the end of the leash, getting corrected by them until they get the point across. After I feel they have the basics down, I say "Congratulations! Now let's go get him & I'll show you how to use the technique to help him!"
These videos help so much. I'm learning and applying these techniques when walking my 5 months old shepherd and there's been huge improvement. Thank you!
This is great to watch, seeing Beckman working with the owner. Suggestion have the owner only hold the leash with one hand, and he brings this up later in the video. That should help with the POP he keeps talking about. The owner is fearful of the dog pulling her so she hold with two hands, and should should be he is a big boy, but she cant give a good POP holding with both hands. Watch when he takes the leash he hold with one hand, so he can apply the best force to the POP. It is great to see how other trainers work with there clients, Thank you!
If you held the leash while the owner was the dog, they would feel the difference between a ‘pull’ and a ‘pop’. Then swap roles while they give you the pop and you’ll know quickly when they get it. Then add the dog and they’ll see faster results. Used this technique with kids to teach how to apply clear cues, light hands, etc. when riding horses. Seeing it is way different than feeling it. They may think they’re doing what you tell them but if they’ve never felt it done right, they just don’t know.
Love you Joel! Please consider micing your clients. If they are not comfortable with it that's fine but the ones that are would be so helpful to hear the full conversation.
I truly believe in Beckmans training my frustration comes in the form of not having opportunities to have controlled encounters like this. My dog is very leash reactive to dogs and people and I run the issue that I have this beautiful looking bernadoodle that you would just want to come over and hug yet if you do bad this are most likely to happen. I wish Beckman was on the east coast specifically Maryland haha I would send him for board and train for sure.
I will watch Joels video "all day if I have to"
That was realllly funny! 😂
The Joel-isms list is
growing. I added another one,
“more poppy-less pulley” to the list.
😂😂😭😭. That was so funny to me.
Hahaha I could do this all day!
😂😂😂😂 facts.
We really do need a shirt with this line lol
This is GREAT to see an average owner take the reigns under your guidance. It’s obviously very helpful to see you do the techniques but to see an owner on a walk and see when the techniques should be used is VERY helpful. Would love to see more videos like this.
the "pop.. NOT a pull" concept is one of the more difficult things to teach some people. Keep up the great work and thanks for the great learning tips.
To see someone being coached was like being coached myself. It’s easy to beat yourself up when you make mistakes and so hearing you giving encouragement all the time was extremely helpful. The guy with the comments really nailed it. I personally struggle with focussing on a destination for a walk and not focussing on the journey and the behaviour.
We’re improving all the time since watching these videos. Thank you Joel.
I agree
I’m just noticing how much more you would get out of a private session with Joel versus most other trainers. I appreciate that he’s blunt, direct and straight to the point. Doesn’t sugarcoat crap just says only what needs to be said and nothing more. It really allows you to maximize your time with him. That’s what I call money well spent!
@@N3gativeR3FLUX Precisely! Saves everybody time! I feel like it also maximize your session with him and really allows you to get down to business rather than wasting time on BS or conversation LOL
The private sessions are IMO WAY overpriced for 1 hour BUT the boarding/training package is actually quite a good deal. 1850 for 2 weeks which is about $123 a day. To have someone completely transform your dog for $123 a day is a good deal.
This owner is just so sweet. She's dedicated to learn, it's so wholesome to watch. I would wish for a dog that's a bit easier to manage for her, like less heavy, but it's the owners heart that counts ❤
For the merchandise! 😀 “More poppy-Less pulley”
I absolutely need to do this with my dog from the beginning. My dog is a year old now. After watching Joel's "raising a puppy," I've been letting her be a wild pup and building her confidence since I got her at 4 months. Now that she's a year old she's actually been behaving significantly better just on her own. I've been a little hesitant to do this walking method because I know I'll make a lot of mistakes but seeing this video gives me more courage. Gotta make mistakes to learn! Plus my dog finally seems to be in a clearer head space to learn.
Seriously, Joel, I have to thank you loads for training dogs and animals for so many years and sharing your information with no bluffs. My dog may not be perfect (nobody is), but she's darn near it thanks to your content.
Also I LOVE that you show us how to get dogs with other dogs. My dog is a very social butterfly and if I had listened to others and kept other dogs out of her life, she could've turned out much different. She's met and played with well over 100 different dogs in the past 6 months I've had her. Not only is it excellent exercise but it fulfills her drives and boosts her confidence. There's even been times where she's helped others' dogs get over some of their fears or became a playmate for dogs who have a hard time making friends. Thanks Joel and Prince!
Probably the best video of leash correction I’ve seen. I’m a petite woman with an over 80 lb. year old dog. I’ve been challenged like this in loose leash walking and trying to “pop”/flick the leash for corrections and not pull. I was disappointed when the video ended wanting more of watching a real life owner being trained to partner with her dog. I will be watching this over and over and practicing on every walk. Thank you!
Stop. Pop. Walk.
We'll do this all day..
I see merch left & right here..
Edit: props to the owner! Way to go girlie, & thank you thank you for allowing all of us subs to see it thru your eyes & movements. I think for so long we've had it drummed in to never punish dogs bc it's cruel. But the more I'm using this method I'm seeing change & he's just as happy as he was before starting Joel's method. So applauding you today!
Noticed, she's grabbing the leash lower down, rather than working the handle only.
👏♥️🐾
Though it felt more like she pulled each time. That leash was already short and she grabbed it with second hand and pulled it down as well. Thought Joel would hammer more on that part. But the dog is huge, almost looks like they walk with a small horse
Fantastic points for training a dog. Thank you. Thank you to the owner for letting us watch. This is exactly what I needed to see because I fully understand the pops when walking now. Edit : Thank you videoing person. : )
i find her dedication and commitment to learn and improve so attractive.
Probably the most beneficial video yet. I have implemented many of Joel's techniques and I have seen significant improvement. But watching Joel coach an owner with her own dog is extraordinarily helpful and increases my confidence that I will ultimately be successful with my dogs.
1) Great job owner!!! You can see in the beginning of the video she is almost nervous and uncomfortable to walk her. At the end, her body is more relaxed, more confident and “the boss”. Dog was like “aw she aint messing around now”
2) great to see Joel guide the client 👏🏻
I learned a lot watching this. I’m pulling instead of popping. In my head, I think I’m popping but not. I do proactive stops but now I realize, although my staffie stops he is too far ahead of me. So this video made me realize my mistakes in applying your methods…thanks for helping us dog owners who want well trained dogs and cannot come to see you.
“We don’t want to hold her back from doing the wrong thing.” 🙌🏼
It’s such a dance-btwn the stopping/directional changes, perfecting the pop and it’s timing, and how to maneuver during and after corrections is everything.
Thank you for featuring a video on coaching the owner’s handling (, esp a female of a big dog, like me) and the comment you read!
I definitely pull away and NOT POP ! UGHGG I GOTTA GET IT TOGETHER
She did a pretty good job considering how big that dog is, I think most people would be overwhelmed by a dog that big and powerful... Great stuff!
I rescued a 2yr old pug I didn’t know what I was getting myself into she’s so leash reactive, she goes completely NUTS! When she eventually calms down I stop and cry a little then compose myself.
Today a women passing by with her dog stopped and shouted from across the street “it’s too late for your dog!” So I’m a little overwhelmed but I won’t give up on this girl.
Anyway we are learning everyday, *Pops instead of pulls, I’ll work on that for Petunia’s sake! Thank you!
What a mean thing for that women to say to you. You are trying and that is what matters. Hold your head high....:)
Preach! @@carolynevers7924
Don't worry about that woman you'll get there. Did you inherit a covid dog? They are challenging due to not being socialised much. Socialisation is a big key to having a good dog
My dane is about 150 lbs. and his leash reactivity has been a real challenge on our walks. I can't wait to try these techniques. Thanks very much!
The point about focusing on getting to the destination is such a good one. I’ve struggled with that. I think, “how is she ever going to get exercise if I don’t take her on a walk?!” I’m now reminding myself it won’t always be like this. She’ll get exercise and be happy AND on my terms….some day. 😉
I feel the same way. High energy dog and I feel helpless because I don’t know how to exercise her.
@@sarahspellman1360 If you have a garden or large room and your dog has some prey drive you could try a flirt pole? It's also a really good opportunity to train leave it and impulse control I find so it's physical and mental stimulation.
So one thing I really liked that this client of yours did was she paid attention and didn’t pull on the leash or give an unnecessary correction when her dog was “with“ her.
A lot of people when they are first learning this method (or other variations of this method)just immediately give the dog a correction without giving it a chance to turn around and check in, even though it may look like the dog is about to walk off without you.
It’s almost as if you are feeding out the leash/line to give them “enough rope to hang themselves” in a manner of speaking. As you’re giving them That slack you’re getting ready to give a “pop” if you need to. This is why I always reference “feel” in horsemanship. It really isn’t something that can be taught in one session it takes multiple repetitions and lots and lots of practice to begin getting proficient at it.
You’re correct. I always use the term “enough rope to hang themselves” but have to be careful using that term.
@@BDTraining I know you get it. As bad as that term is it’s actually pretty accurate. It’s really giving you enough slack to give an effective correction, And a second or two to lower your center of gravity if you need to brace yourself.
@@KingsMom831totally agree.
I felt she still kept pulling. It wasn't a short pop.
@@RomboutVersluijs I agree. Was practice she will gain more feel for exactly how much of a “pop“ is needed for each correction. In this video she is pulling and it’s not the clear, concise communication/signals we strive to give our dogs so that there’s no chance for them to misinterpret.
I still think, for this being new to her and her dog, she does a good job of not over reacting like a lot of people mistakenly do.
Overall, I commend her for putting herself out there to be critiqued and I think she does a much better job than many, many dog owners, even long-term/lifetime dog owners that can still be clueless. I’d rather see someone be less than 100% but 100% committed to improving the connection/relationship with their dog.
Hi Joel, jimmy in Australia. 2 dogs 130lb Mastiff and a 150ld great dane and could not walk them together!!!! After learning and watching and practice 20 mins each day both dogs are now perfect and a joy to walk!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much
Nick nailed it with his comments, I have done every single one of these things and still do sometimes, I am working on my technique with my dog's.
Dude what's up with the cliffhanger. I wanted to see Prince run up to her while she was on the leash 🤣
Me too!!
‘Walk, stop and pop.” 😁 Reminds me of “stop, drop and roll” if you catch on fire~
Yep, me too. 😂
Bravo Sir, bravo. After watching all your content, this video is the missing key. Complete with proactive stops and an owner developing their timing, this is my favorite video yet.
Honestly, all my respect for this guy… he’s got knowledge and years of experience i can see. I just don’t understand why no one can do a video about a dog who really pulls?! This dog is not pulling at all compared to my dog… i just want to see one only one real video when they working with a real problematic dog. I so curious what he would do with a dog like mine😳 because he can give 100 million popps for my dog it will not stop him. He is so great with everything else and with all his commands, we only have problem with walking on lead ( i developed tennis elbow bc of his pulling). He is also 52kg so not much of a difference between me and him, he is a powerhouse. I wish i could find a video when they having a real pulling, stubborn dog to see how they handle it.
Thankyou! Just walked my big Kelpie x with my 14yr son, 1st time he’s seen me applying your technique, he was blown away with how much less reactive our dog is. Obviously still work in progress. This upload is exactly what we all needed to see.
This is my story. I cannot wait to start walking my Dane tomorrow using your method.
How did it go?
I learn a little with each video. This time I learned a lot! Really helpful to see someone else going through the learning process. Kudos to the client for allowing you to film the session.
This was incredibly helpful! I have struggled with leash walking for longer than I care to admit. My dog heals nicely inside but is easily distracted outside even in our driveway. He constantly scans the environment and will forge ahead. Seeing the owner handle her dog really helped to see where I was making mistakes. The mistakes you miss when you watch trainers handle dogs (as they know what they are doing). I would love more videos in this format!
I feel like no matter how many of your video I watch I'm always learning something new to help me with my own dog. Love what you do and look forward to the next lesson!
Hey Hey Hey Joel ! We ask and YOU deliver ! You da man !!!
Maybe, Joe, regarding the third point of the other comment, it maybe advising people to schedule one hour for what would be otherwise a 15 minutes walk (to the park, so to say). All the process to leave home and the many corrections taking place do takes time, and we should adapt (schedule) the amount of time accordingly, to avoid any rush or lack of focus.
This is so on point!
Excellent point
Joel's introduction is very important, detailed and explicit, and should be fully understood, memorized and internalized by everyone who intends to follow the method. Understand everything first before trying to put it into practice. Thank you very much for systematizing and for insisting in your videos to show us how to practice the method.
Thank you so much for showing an owner using your techniques!!! This type of video is so helpful so please film more. I too have a 100lb+ GD who loses her mind when she sees another dog, kid riding bike, loud motorcycle, 4-wheeler, person on skates etc on leash. This is a terrifying image for most and not the impression of a GD I want people to have. My dog having a great life is a goal and your techniques and training are realistic and beneficial that can help achieve that goal!
This was great ... it's great to see a "regular" owner to a.) see how skilled Joel is and how much finesse he has and b.) to see how owners struggle with putting SO MANY things together!
Joel is so skilled, it can sometimes look SO EASY ... but he's putting together about 10 things to make his corrections and walk.
This was one of the best videos Joel! I've pretty much binged all of them haha. The aspect of "training the trainer" is really nice and especially the clarity of the frequency of stops, and your comments about doing them in the house, leaving the door, etc. It really just helps put it into perspective the day-to-day aspect of training and what we are expected to be doing.
I have a 16mo Old English Sheepdog who is 85lbs and reactive to cars, bikes, etc. We've been doing this method 2-3x a day for about a week and today he showed major improvement when we went to the park.Today he was able to walk nicely on the sidewalk instead of lashing out at the cars, and had no reactivity to some kids on their bikes. He had a few hiccups but I could see the hesitation in his steps, and his lashing out was much milder than previous. Really appreciate this help Joel and team, we'll be keeping it up 100%!
She learnt so fast
Owner did an amazing job! 🐕❤️
This is the best video ever. I have 3 year old Great Dane that I got two months ago. She listens to me inside the house and in the backyard but she get too excited when we go on walks. I applied these tricks today and she started following it within 10 minutes. Little pops instead of pulling her back really works. It’s amazing. Now I’m not dreading to take her on long walks.
I was trying these stops every few minutes before as well with treat rewards and she would listen but it didn’t help her pulling on the leash specially when she sees another dog. Thank you so much for posting this video. I really appreciate it. Made my life a lot easier!!
Hey Joel. You do a lot of loose leash walking video but I think this one is one of my favourites. It's great seeing you walk the dog but even better seeing you coach someone else how to walk their horse sized dog without ever touching the leash. Thank you for the video!
It is really hard for some folks to "get" the pop-i-ness needed. They seem to always keep pulling too long. Might help to put the leash in the owner's upper arm and demonstrate on them so they feel what it's supposed to be like. Short, sharp, and immediately loose again. Great video as always!
Yeah, i found this s lady kept pulled Ng vs popping.
Your loose leash walking helped me so much. Now our Rottie knows we are not walking out of the house until his with me. I'm now tackling the leash reactivity. Thank you so much from Australia.
Excellent. I've done this for almost 42 yrs and you are doing great. I've also rehabbed dogs for almost 36 yrs
Don't have anybody to do videos for me though. I really don't care. I'm more concerned of training and rehabbing the dogs 😁
I haven't gotten to the Dane yet, but wanted to say thank you for the first part where you demonstrate the loose leash walking and especially what to do at the door. Nice including the comments along with the demonstration.
I loved this type of video Joel! I love you showing us with dogs but I always feel like dogs are better with others than their owners, I would love to see more videos like this of you walking your clients through the process with their dogs ❤ because just like you said people constantly say "the method doesn't work for me" then you can walk them through it and see what they weren't doing correctly or at all and let them know what to change or do better on ❤😊
This client and this dog and Joel have an awesome chemistry going on between the three of them. I think that contributes alot to the walk.
Ok we going for our walk now. A whole new look on it , thanks again
One of the best in your series on leash walking. The big a-ha for me was near the end when you said the dog was smart and realized she could leave for a bit and then stop prior to the pop. My dog was doing the same thing. Now I know how to tighten that up. Also, the comment about "pop, don't pull" was a key point.
Like the comment as well that "it's a dance". I use that kind of an analogy often as well.
Love these videos Joel. Learn something every time even as a seasoned handler and trainer.
Thank you Joel those three points have really helped.. my husband and I have been training our 2 spaniels using your method for 3 days only and have had fantastic results.. each only needed really an hour on day one.. gone from totally pulling every step to getting a few steps then 12, today I walked my year old sprocker boy for 30 minutes ons loose leash! Straight out of the car..second anf third day reinforcement only. We will keep it up!
Tried this on our walk this morning. Couldn’t believe the difference. I usually let my dog smell everything and run over to what attracts her. It totally makes sense though that if you don’t have control over little things how can you have control when another dog or person is approaching. I’m struggling because my dog is very obedient at home and with no distractions but I can’t get her attention on me if another dog or person is on a trail. I now have some hope that things may change if I keep practicing this technique-love your approach.
I messed up with my dog when i first got him and let him meet every dog so now at a year old and 80lbs he whines, screams and lunges because he sees every dog as happy play time and he needs to meet them. It’s hard to practice corrections when the whole neighborhood avoids you.
After watching this, I took him to Huntington and after making 3 corrections when we first got there he didn’t bark or lunge anymore. Other dogs on flexi leads and ones that can’t heel were running right up to him and he didn’t react at all. We walked right next to like 30 different dogs with no problems. Already having a solid heel was definitely very helpful before trying this.
Thank you so much!!
I want more!!!! This was one of the best yet. Real scenario stuff. Thanks you really are saving dogs lives. I get so emotional because I know things are and will keep getting better.
This is so good!! Love videos like this. It’s so helpful to see you coach an owner.
Loved love loves this video! So helpful to see a big, strong dog and a woman owner as I see myself reflected in this!
Aww it ended, I wanted to see her dog with Prince.
All three points are great and thank you for posting this. I also wanted to say something I started doing as I had a big issue with number 3. I wanted to go for walks with my dog so bad that I would not stop enough. So now instead of going out for walks to some place. I now go out for timed walks only. No destination just a timer. And yes sometimes we are stuck in from of my house walking back and forth like a crazy person but I see a lot more progress. I got this from some article and the individual called them "structured walks" were the sole point is to ensure your dog pays attention to you.
Thank you for this one
2 minutes in I already found my problem, I'm pulling and not popping. It's been tough with my new boy since he was tied up most his life (not by me). One day at a time, watching these daily thank you!
Hi Joel, I want to say thankyou for your help.. I have a Rhodesian ridgeback dog (unneutered)20months old. He has a beautiful temperament, but sometimes its a little too much for people who have dogs and i think his smelling other dogs is overboard which you have covered... So I wanted to thank you for breaking down the correction on the walk and checking him back, your detailed breakdown has made the most amazing difference thank you.
Brilliant video--we are thankful as always, Joel. Keep it up!
Super helpful opening comments. Well done, thanks!
You are the best dog trainer and channel on RUclips. The best! ♥️♥️
Thanks so much - using this on on an undisciplined Dachsund who belongs to my daughter- such great work and getting results
I've been watching your videos a lot lately,
I miss my dog, I got him when I was around 14 and had him pretty well trained useing these exact methods. He was so good on leash that I never even held the leash it would drag be hind us, when I stopped he stopped and sat when I walked he walked only time he would walk away from me was to pee or poop.
I also trained him so when I snapped my fingers he would sit or lay down depending on the hight of my hand when I snapped my fingers.
For anyone still struggling with this, just watch Joel's motion he doesn't pull like he's starting a lawn mower, it's just a quick pop, don't wait for the leash to be completely tight, do it when it's about to be tight.
I hope one day I can get a dog again I miss going for the walks and the swims
So helpful to see you coach her
I do the same she does. Thanks!
Your videos on leash pulling and reactivity have been a life saver for us. We have a 1 year old border collie who pulls and is very reactive on the leash. I have been working with an educator, I have been trying various techniques and I just couldn't get her to stop. It was getting to the point where we didn't want to take her anywhere where a leash was necessary. I found another of your videos just 2 days ago and have been applying it since, the difference is staggering. We still have difficulties with her lunging at other dogs, at cats and at cars, but the walk in between is nothing like it was before. We'll just have to keep working on the rest. Thank you so much for posting these with such detail.
16:53 I think she did a good job noticing that the dog was about to leave her and gave a good, nicely timed correction. Especially considering this is new for both of them.
Love this video. Love how you say its a pop and not a pull. I was pulling. Thanks again!
This is GREAT! Today, watching this, I just improved my technique. Pops instead of pulls. Attention on me instead of reaching destination. Thank you!
Darn, I wish the video had showed when the GD met Prince. Maybe more to come? Thanks so much Joel.
Ha! I thought the exact same thing... He'll probably put that out later.
@@jameschild1321 me too!
This is such a helpful video. I took my girl out and I knew when I got it right and wrong thanks to this. It was brain coaching when you're not even there! Thank you so much! I walked my highly reactive girl past a yappig small dog loose lead with only two reactions, both corrected. I'm on day two of following you. Imagine where we will be in a week!!! Thank you so much! Xxx
Thank you…thank you…thank you! I have a 7 month standard poodle that is very reactive on leash to just about anything that moves; I did watch the video you did with a 3 year standard poodle which you eventually used a gentle leader. Problem with my dog is he sees me bring out the gentle leader and he becomes a 4 legged “tornado”with teeth so…that’s not working out very well, but watching this video helped me learned what I was doing wrong as you corrected this lady with her dog. Really appreciate your no nonsense approach to training and lack of using special tools like e-collars etc.
Damn Joel, you tricked me at the end. I wanted to see Prince run up to the dog, she was doing so good 😅
Me too😁
This is the piece of the puzzle that was missing.
I have had my 1 1/2 yr old GSD on a gentle leader for over a year now.
He has not been socialized with other dogs due to CV19. So he is reactive to other dogs and people with masks or that stare.
He walks on a loose lease, I do the stop change direction thing a lot.
I was missing the pop, was pulling more.
Will probably have to see Joel for the socialization part. But walks are getting better.
Awesome video. You are my go to for training, since I never have had the chance to get to one.
❤
Even a 11 month’s old Border Terrier has learned it this way - finally our walks have become a great feast!
Thanks so much for this video. Your other videos are helping me so much. I so can relate to this lady. The pop makes more sense watching as I’ve been pulling. Plus the gentle leader is definitely a game changer. Thanks so much for all your knowledge 😊
I thumps up before I watched,cause I know its gonna be a very informative solid video 👍🐕
Same here, he’s consistent & always put out great content & information
This was great.
I have a 3 year old labradane (almost 100#) She had been mistreated and adopted me. I noticed when I took her to the dog park recently that she had created some very bad habits. This video is perfect! After watching I started what you suggested inside and she quickly got the message. Thank you Joel;)
Beckmans is the BEST!
Great video and very well explained and demonstrated. This technique works 100% when done as exactly as described. Been using this technique for years even before seeing these videos. Brilliant to see it broken down and explained in a professional manner and executed by the dogs owner.
Unlike some video where they only show the trainer and the before and after shots of the dogs behaviour. Any half decent trainer may look good on video with the dog but not many can show they can also teach the dog owner the skills required which can be more difficult than training the dog.
I've trained my two extremely reactive working line German shepherds using these techniques. Both dogs have weak nerves and one of which (3 year old intact male) was also terrible resource guarder. As described It takes time practice and lots of patients. And yes there were days we never got as far as the garden gate. I can now take both dogs walks passed all previous triggers without so much as a long stare let alone a bark whilst maintaining 100% focus on me. So these techniques DO work! Love this video well done to the trainer, owner and of course the dog.
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and inspiring us.
Yep, pulling, really just activates opposition reflex
Not on a gentle leader.
@@Flippokid i’m not talking about on a gentle leader. I’m referencing part of what he was talking about before they even showed walking with the GD. Just a typical set up of leash and collar of almost any kind, especially a harness will usually just trigger opposition reflex
@@KingsMom831 Yeah agreed. That's why the gentle leader is the best piece of equipment.
@@Flippokid just got one for my daughter’s husky . She really wants to be a sled dog, lol.
Very nice variation. So good to see other people than Joel do it. Great job to the lady for agreeing to do the movie and showing that she is willing to learn. What i see is that she is shortening the leash by putting her supportive/loose hand to low on the leash and therefor isnt able to make the "pop". Instead she ends up doing a prolonged pull. Supportive/loose hand should be closer to the grip hand, allowing the extension of the leash needed for pop.
This guy is the best
Thank you for the video, Mr. Beckman! Also thanks for sharing Nick Ashman's helpful summary comment!
The importance of a properly-timed leash-pop cannot be over-emphasized.
Your techniques filled a gaping hole in my own leash-reactivity skills & I thank you so much! I'm now able to help many more clients with their dogs than I was able to before, thanks to your openness in sharing the Beckman Method of loose-leash walking with us!
Many of my clients just don't have the "feel" of the technique, so I always carry a second leash. We tie their dog up & ask them to 'be the dog' & have them hold the clip tightly in their hand. I explain (what I understand of) the Method & tell them "you're now a crazy untrained dog" & I have them pull me around while I then copy what most people do when they're trying to"pull" their dog around with ineffective attempts at control.
I explain "It's like being on the end of a bungee cord & having fun being bounced around in all kinds of directions, doing your own thing, with no rules & zero consequences, isn't it?" They go, yeah!
I say: "So if your dog gets to 'do their own thing' & pull you around & be rude to anyone anytime, that may mean you or your dog could get seriously hurt. So we need to show you how you can teach your dog to be on the same page as you! So now I'm going to let you feel what we teach him to pay attention." So I instruct them " Go ahead, try to pull me around like you did before. Hold on to your end tightly!"
Then I let them walk. I stop, lower my center of gravity by bending my knees & turning the opposite way, still rooted, & clamp the leash handle to my hip with both hands, letting them hit the end of the leash. They always stop when they do. But, just like the dog, they're still on a tight leash, not looking back at me. I tell them this.
Then I say: "Okay, now I'll do the Beckman technique. Hold on tightly and walk off."
They do, and this time, I do the POP when they hit the end of the leash. They always look back at me.
I explain "You looked back at me because the POP made it crystal clear to you that you needed to look back at me, right? It will make it just as clear to your dog! Did it hurt? Not at all. It won't hurt your dog either. It'll just make it clearer to him that you're his leader & that you have the strength to teach him how to behave himself when he's on leash with you! Now let's practice... (I take the clip end & hold it, handing them the leash handle) ... "I'm the dog, now. Let's get good at what you need to do. When your POPs are clear enough, I'll look back at you, and maybe even walk at your side for a second. That's when you say GOOD! & give the reward." I don't make it easy. I tell them to walk right through me, like a freight train, when I'm blocking their path, as well! I act out just like their dog, barking & lunging at the end of the leash, getting corrected by them until they get the point across. After I feel they have the basics down, I say "Congratulations! Now let's go get him & I'll show you how to use the technique to help him!"
These videos help so much. I'm learning and applying these techniques when walking my 5 months old shepherd and there's been huge improvement. Thank you!
Great lesson. And great mum ....
This is great to watch, seeing Beckman working with the owner. Suggestion have the owner only hold the leash with one hand, and he brings this up later in the video. That should help with the POP he keeps talking about. The owner is fearful of the dog pulling her so she hold with two hands, and should should be he is a big boy, but she cant give a good POP holding with both hands. Watch when he takes the leash he hold with one hand, so he can apply the best force to the POP. It is great to see how other trainers work with there clients, Thank you!
Great to see her do it. Her dog is exactly reactive like mine an I can see my mistakes in her.
Awesome job, your dog is with you 👏
Kudos to owner! Nice job
If you held the leash while the owner was the dog, they would feel the difference between a ‘pull’ and a ‘pop’. Then swap roles while they give you the pop and you’ll know quickly when they get it. Then add the dog and they’ll see faster results.
Used this technique with kids to teach how to apply clear cues, light hands, etc. when riding horses. Seeing it is way different than feeling it. They may think they’re doing what you tell them but if they’ve never felt it done right, they just don’t know.
I love this! What a great way to teach, thank you.
Love you Joel! Please consider micing your clients. If they are not comfortable with it that's fine but the ones that are would be so helpful to hear the full conversation.
Was having a difficult time too. Tweaked things a bit. Used his frisbee. Had him on a leash. Threw the frisbee. Popped him when he took off! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great points !
Thank you Beckman for making and sharing this video. I apologize for any offense I committed onto you. I hope you and everyone has a Great Day🙏
I truly believe in Beckmans training my frustration comes in the form of not having opportunities to have controlled encounters like this. My dog is very leash reactive to dogs and people and I run the issue that I have this beautiful looking bernadoodle that you would just want to come over and hug yet if you do bad this are most likely to happen. I wish Beckman was on the east coast specifically Maryland haha I would send him for board and train for sure.
