Love the "run the house like the military" comment. I have tried this with my new rescue and it works. I am the Captain, my 3 cats are my lieutenants and my dog is the private first class. Her bossy attitude changed almost immediately. She learned her place and to respect the cats and me much better. It also helped her relax in her new environment. She is thriving on structure.
It definitely worked well when I was house breaking my boxer. I had to do it way too late in her life vs what I would have wanted but living situations prevented that. If she did ANYTHING I didn't want her doing she got a heavy scolding and straight outside she went till I felt it was ok for her to come back in. She learned really fast that if she wants to be inside she has to follow the rules. Including going outside when told to.
I'd love to see an episode where you focus on and break down Prince's behavior while he's working with dogs. It just really seems like he knows exactly what's going on, knows what's expected of him, etc. I know that I'm humanizing him a bit, but I think that every time I see him work. Anyways, love the content!
I had a dog (a male, 120 lb, "huge" black lab) who guarded his food. (Groweling, aggression) from me and a pit bull mix...I would hand feed him for a few days to let him know the food comes from me...then for a few days I would touch his food while he ate from his bowl for a few days. Then I called him from his food bowl to another room for a few days. It cured him of the aggressive behavior around food. Had to revisit a couple times. I hope this was appropriate. Two dogs-separate food bowls. Interesting, the lab was dominant over the food, between the two dogs and always ate first. The pit bull mix was dominant over sleeping arrangements and uber protective over females in the house.
If you can’t take a dogs food bowl away while they’re eating they don’t deserve a bowl. Hand feed them until they can be trusted. I feel like working on the food aggression will do a lot more to establish order around the house than not letting them sleep on the bed.
Just a weird observation to note - the man keeps petting the dog near the end and seems to be the main one that was baby talking him the most while the dog played in the pool area. He’s putting off a “weaker” energy/vibe, and it makes me wonder if that’s why he’s become the target when this dog has a bowl of food in front of him. Not sure without being in the situation 🤷♀️ but possibly I would have advised him to start being more cognizant of how much “free” affection he’s giving the dog.
Agreed!! I also saw his “weaker” side when he asked the dog to sit WITH HIS HANDS not just his voice, he knew the dog was not going to listen so he was already guiding the dog physically

Nervous energy surely is a trigger for dogs, being able to sense that ahead of time is essential for bringing the dog new experiences with interacting with new dogs or even those familiar to them. The humans must have more experience and comprehension to rid themselves of that nervosity especially at the adult stage it's vital for them to build confidence! Also, the hand shake method works!! That first play bow from prince was essential, he was great in that first meeting. This dog would be fine after building the humans the strong leadership that he needs to succeed. Well done, Joel.
i’ve wasted so much money on trainers who did nothing for me or my dog, when i could’ve just watched this channel from the beginning. thank you for documenting these sessions
“You don’t have any idea what’s going on in your dogs mind!”! This should be the first sentence in the dog bible!! Explaining this to a owner is the hardest thing you’ll ever do!
Great session, thanks for sharing! I hope they will condition a basket muzzle - if he can drink and take treats then it may feel much better keeping him on a muzzle whenever guests are over. As you said, why not? Then everyone can relax and he can get more exposure to strangers.
Love That more than half the video is a sit down with the owners. Good owners know that they are often a good part of the problem and seek great trainers. I would guess lockdowns weren't easy on them or the dog.
Setting strict boundaries and following through on the small stuff makes a big difference when you need it on the important stuff. We have a 4year old Transylvanian hound who is very similar to this dog. We had her as a rescue at a year old with a major mouthing and excitement problem. She does have bite inhibition though. She is full of friendliness and play, with people and dogs, just like this dog. But, one thing I have learnt about hounds is how independent (and stubborn) they are, and her mouthing on us used to often happen as frustration because she wasn't getting her own way e.g. not being able to say hello to a dog. Following though, however much she chooses to try and ignore us, has really made a big difference. She will often bark at us when we keep following through on a command which she doesn't feel like doing at that moment, for instance "lie down". She has to "protest" (either refusing a command or barking at us) when she doesn't get her way but this is getting less the more we follow through, just as Joel suggests in this video. As a hound she is breed to work and survive as part of a pack, so I think knowing who's the boss (pack leader) is even more important than with other breeds. Follow Joel's advice because it really does work. Thank you Joel for all your great videos.
Great video watched it all the way through. I love these long thorough videos, great info. I'm excited to book a private feisty fido session hopefully very soon!
You said something that reminded me of my dog Donnie . I always wanted know what my dog was thinking.I had a dog, a mix Tibetan spaniel. I had to watch him how he reacts to every people we pass by as we walk ,he is friendly but on guard . He would stop and turn around and has almost nip a few people in their calves. He even did that to a very close friend. He doesn’t bark at all. He listens to me. He was very smart. He even greeted a friend into my house and then leading her to me by holding her finger in his mouth .. I wished a had a video of it.
Great video! I was wondering if you can recommend trainers with your methods/mindset in the Las Vegas area? Your videos are helping me so much with my dogs. Having chronic pain and health issues means I appreciate the quick results and no nonsense style even more. This was interesting seeing the combo of owner and dog training. I mean we all need training in order to properly convey what we expect from our dogs, most people watch for that reason, and seeing the post training discussion added to the whole picture if that makes sense. Glad I found your channel a few weeks ago, not sure if I’ve commented prior, but am grateful for all these excellent videos!
I really enjoy watching these video's. I would, one day, love to adopt a dog from a shelter but I'm always a bit unsure because of what bad experiences or trauma's the dog might have. I have experience with dogs, but only "good" experiences. Thank you for sharing your way to help these dogs.
I am 100% certain my dog would never growl at me. Or my husband. That’s a tough cross to bear. Maybe a struggle about who is the boss. Nailing it, Joel! Such good advice.
Another great video reminds me of my dog. He looks and acts a lot like him. I found that letting my dog know that he can't be a bully to other dogs alone has helped a lot!
And the way Prince came up afterwards and was like "Hey, Dad, what was that?! Did I do good with him? Huh? Did I? Am I a good boy?" So sweet how Joel told him "I don't know what happened with you guys" 🥰
I love your videos & I share your page with litteraly anyone that has any issues with their dog. I always says to go through your videos & there is something for just about any issue. ❤ thank you.
@@pittymama4500 right. I trained my dog a few years before I found him. Most was touch & go & others i talked to a few cops lol then I found Joel & almost all his methods where what I did, but I struggle putting it in words & explaining it. Also, he's just awesome.
Hey just fyi, there’s a CZcams channel called “German Shepherd Man”. He’s based out of FL! He has awesome videos. Today he posted a video to compliment JOEL BECKMAN! He told all his viewers to watch you!!! Charles Miller is his name. He’s a wonderful guy and gave me his phone number when I needed help with my GSD! He’s awesome and I highly recommend taking a look!!!
Great video! The way they describe him reminds me of my cocker spaniel with rage syndrome. He would wag his tail and then turn around and bite. The food resource guarding is also the same. I wish them luck. I hope they follow Joel's protocol.
I have one dog that occasionally will try to resource guard a very high value resource (we feed raw and red meat is his fav)and I quickly kick that resource out of the way and don't let the dog pursue it! A dog will no longer get that specific resource until he learns to respect me 100% with it.
Great content. Very funny in the outro with the: “How do you feel about today? I would feel good if I were you guys.” *continues to say things were good*
The air-humping haha. It didn't look like a dominance hump though. I think it's interesting when neutered males have a small drive, but don't quite understand things haha. I'm interested in that particular aspect. Most trainers don't really elaborate on that type of humping behavior. You hear all about power-play dominance humping but nothing else. What a silly boy!
i do that exact thing with my pup, she's a bit stand offish with people coming over so i always greet them and push my dog back, then if they havent been over before i show them her hand commands, and hand them dog treats and tell them to give her commands to sit and back up. then she gets treats. it's been slowly working, i want her to know that humans are the boss's. She's a very smart pup and has been BEYOND receptive to training, ( I've taught her many hand commands within minutes)
Our dog came from Mexico (at 2 years old) and was on the streets and starving, so food was very important to her. She would knock the bowl out of my hands and spill food all over the floor when ever I fed her. I changed the way I fed her based on Cesar Milan's advice. When I fed her I would lift the food bowl straight up and make her sit each time. Cesar says to never pull the bowl away as it can make them aggressive. She could not get to the food until I placed it down and said "OK". She now sits and waits every time. I can walk all the way to the door and she will watch me and wait until I say OK. It's amazing the transition. No food aggression at all.
We adopted a 1 1/2 Doberman 2 weeks ago. He’s super active yet well behaved at times. However for some reason at night, if you’re laying with him he suddenly snaps and has tried to bite. It’s not our first time owning a big dog. We’ve hada german shepherd and Rottweiler before him. However this is our first rescue. We’re not sure what it can make him trigger, we’re thinking he was abused before and possibly has trauma 😔
I'm going ro watch this with earphones - our LA shelter rescue Willa can hear the lowest whine in the video and now she's looking for another dog at the window! ! (7 months old and in the shelter for a month. I'd be a nutcase if I was in a cement kennel in the pound for a month!)
Rolly got in between Prince and you Joel, almost positive that was the cause, Rolly was telling Prince HEY IM HERE and wouldn't move away when Prince was giving him the look and feel, so Prince told him off. Edit: It seems to me this guy needs more structure and respect in the house, boundaries rules limitations. He thinks he can get away with whatever, including telling humans what to do (even with teeth). He also needs to burn energy. They think he won't bite, and they laugh, but a food aggressive dog is not a good sign... if he's growling and backing the dad down, he may try and rule other parts of the house, especially if he feels he's losing control over other things (which he will be with new changes).
Nope I saw it. Had to remind but the Evaluated dog went what seemed to be playful over Princes head and ear it was sort of a nuzzle but also a go for it move to the neck. The Evakuated dog let go of it which was very good.
@Gail Everett oh I didn't see the throat rub. All of that can be threatening especially because it is near the that door gate and a human can be guarding. I also herd some of the incidents may have been guarding.
Great video as always.. Unfortunately it's easy to tell that this dog has been allowed to be the "leader" of the pack with his owners .. Hopefully the couple will take away your points and will notice a difference.
I don't think that he would bite out of nowhere. Maybe he can realize that that muzzle will prevent him from biting so he is nice in this session, I have seen dogs change personality when they have an Ecollar on them. I think something happened with the dogs he had bitten and the owners didn't recognize it. I can't believe that a dog will bite out of absolute nowhere. There is always some warning before biting. Very interesting video. I am very curious to see him after the at home training.
Muzzle is a safety for the dog that he does not own. Should not take a muzzle off when you’re assessing a dog, with known bite history to see how he reacts to other dogs. There’s no built relationship. Safety first. Moreover thats a legal nightmare waiting to happen.
Been watching Joel for months waiting for the bloody dolphins. I thought that was the WHOLE point of the pool? What's that flipper? The smugglers have hidden the gold in a cave out on the point? And there's a bomb about to go off in uncle Festa's prawn trawler? Jiminy crickets!
Coonhounds can be a challenge. He will make you a better trainer. As soon as I get any dog, we start doing more and better treats when hands are by the food dish (so they're thinking where's my treat rather than I'm going to nail you); but if they're already growling from 5 feet away, you're not there yet. I would use a house line (6 foot leash with the handle cut so it doesn't catch on anything) when you're home so if he does get on the furniture and they don't happily get off when you tell them off, you can just grab the end of the leash to romove them. Less chance of getting bit. The power of permission too. Even if they are allowed on the furniture, they should still look to you before they jump, just to confirm (they're asking permission) that it's ok to get up. Pat the couch or if not allowed, direct them to their bed - park it. We give our Dobes their own toddler bed - waterproof, can just wash the crib sheets, and less likely to get destroyed than the cheap dog beds that fall apart the first time you wash them, yet the dog is still comfortable since it's not the hard floor. Start journaling what his triggers are - when, what time of day, toys, food, or people around, etc. Then there's an accounting that you can look back to see if it's getting better, what to do better, etc. Like my growly, less confident male is afraid of doorways so I know the door has to be wide open before he'll go through it. Every single doorway you come to, sit, wait, not released until given the release word. Practice in the bathroom and bedroom doors first (both ways and not when they really have to eliminate) before attempting an outside door. Check out Joel's Rottweiler named Creed video for the doorway method. Going in/out doorways is a self rewarding behavior so usually treats aren't needed or even wanted at those times. We use bells for them to let us know when they need to go out - saves scratching on the door, but if it becomes a game or they don't have to eliminate each time I would nix the bells. A lot of it is just follow through and committing to taking daily action (without the use of pain as hounds tend to be very sensitive and like Joel says- pain messes with their brains) so your relationship improves. All I had to do with my first dog, a Whippet, was raise my voice and she would just shut down. Hope that helps.
He actually looks a lot like a Catahoula leopard dog which can be even more of a challenge than coonhounds. Again, he'll make you a better trainer. Get you more in tune to his body language and picking up on even the most subtle cues.
New viewer here, enjoyed seeing your work. With this dogs food aggression, with if he/she hand fed the dog the entire meal to show he’s not a threat to take the food but gives the food?
That was my first thought. Grab a handful, let him eat some, drop the rest in the dish. Grab some more....repeat. He'd see there's always more food, and that they aren't a threat to take it.
It would be nice if you could adjust the volume so we could hear the people that you're training. I could hardly hear any of their comments and I had the volume turned way up.
Joel, Prince went after him because he was at first dominating Prince using his head but it was he got between Prince and you using the head a hammer that Prince conrrected him. Prince was looking out for his Dad.
Please do the people reactive video. I’m struggling with people rushing up to pet my dog. When she a billboard that say no touch no talk no eye contact. She’s really pissy about being interrupted when she working. As in not friendly to non pack members. I’d even come do that video with you.
I actually never understoond why (most) people always have to pet a strangers dog (maybe because it is i am from europe)..let's say i saw a 3 year old dog, then in human age, it would be a 24 year old guy or lady, it's pretty akward to walk up to a 24 year old stranger and touch him/her.
@@rebusdan you would think. but actually it happens more than we think. So while training my reactive dog.(The stranger danger protocol ) . I get a new trigger to deal with. People coming up and touching me. Before the greeting protocol. Or during high energy conversation. Which triggers(protection protocol) the dog to yell at the person very rudely . (its ugly)about the violation they just committed. everyone blames the dog. but in truth it was the rude human that created the reactivity.
I think this is more of a tell people off/ keep them out of your personal space/ don't pet random people's dogs. If it was family, that would be an issue, but these are complete strangers rushing up to y'all. And as he would say, you didn't accept these people into your life, so why would your dog react nicely.
Too funny! The fact that the dog has been great with you and with people that they've boarded him with basically does say that the problem is them, not the dog. Probably, as you suspected, them being just a little too soft with him and letting him get away with stuff that he shouldn't.
Interesting when you shook hands with the owners and said from there on out it wouldn't be cool for Rawley to be mean to you because the owners accepted you/are now cool with you. I had a friend who'd adopted a pit bull, we'd drive around with the pit in the car then we'd stop at the store to get a drink and upon our return (owner of pit still in the car with the pit while us-two friends approached the car with our drinks) to the car the pit would bark at us through the closed window, so aggressively even though we'd been driving around with her for a while. She barked at us like we were complete strangers and it scared the crap out of us. Owner would just sit in the drivers seat and not redirect the dog, maybe just calmly tell the dog to stop barking. Eventually we worked up the nerve to get back in the car and the dog would calm down but we were terrified being in the car with the pit, never knowing if she was going to attack us. Eventually she did maul another friends hand one day when said friend stuck her hand in the car to pet the pit. Scary. I stopped associating with the "friend" who had the pit-always nervous that one day she was going to maul us in the car. Phew.
idk, i feel like he is a very good pup, i'm not too sure what the objective they want from training is, he seems a bit curious about stuff yeah, but he just seems to be playful all around.
The owners have replied under another comment to say that they got Raleigh that young because his mother (who was a stray) was hit by a car and killed and a rescue centre took the pup in. They were fostering for the rescue centre at the time and took him on with an estimated age of 6 weeks. So it wasn't that they chose to buy a puppy at 6 weeks old. I thought that was relevant when I read it. As Raleigh didn't get to learn from his Mom or litter mates as a puppy and had the trauma of seeing his mother killed.
Suggestion on a non reactive but always wanting to greet other dogs dog? Will I create an issue if I’m alway hitting him with an ecollar every time he wants to interact with another dog? He’s 166lb intact male Newfie 22 months old
Hi Joel. Does putting a muzzle on a dog cause fear as they feel they are not able to defend themselves if attacked? I am debating putting a muzzle on my reactive american bulldog but worried this will make her anxious and fearful. Thanks 😊
I think the safety of other dogs is more important than how your dog feels about the muzzle. Desensitize to the muzzle, then you can safely work the dog. There are plenty of videos on this channel of reactive dogs that were muzzled yet show improvement.
This accepting people we dide somewhat instinctivly, whenever new people come to us he barks deep voiced and as we say hi to them he changes to a high bark xD as un "ohmaygawd frens" kindof bark and as they are in it's even over 😊 (now that's a vocal type of dog so wee can't totally stop him barking for forever) and it made better the walking on the street, took months tho for him to accept riders - thanks & applause for those two cyclist who stopped by themselves to say hi & make sure the dog don't fear them, it surely heloed a lot (we approached others ourselfes too 9n our walk)
i have asked on a few of your videos about the whole bed thing and now i finally know why you say that. both of my dogs sleep in the bed with us but they also have never bit anyone so im guessing that isnt something i need to try and fix.
I absolutely love Black & Tan Coonhounds. I grew up with them being our hunting dogs, and the reason my Stepdad chose the breed is because of how good they are with people. If you look up temperament on Google for them, you get: Easygoing, Trusting, Adaptable, Even-Tempered, Gentle, and Loveable. I'd say that's very accurate from my experience. Of course, this dog is a mix, and breed only makes up a portion of the formula, but Black & Tan Coonhounds are generally great with people. Maybe you should've asked about what they do for blowing off energy, because hounds have oodles of energy and can run for miles and miles.
He's not a black & tan; this is a blue tick coonhound, mixed with something else. Based on his face and mainly eyes, I would guess Australian cattle dog
Asking to have a better understanding, but is there a reason you didnt pop the leash? I was surprised when the gentleman was being pulled along on the short springy leash after getting out of the car and walking down, that you didnt start doing your leash pop method. He even pulls you a bit to meet Maesha. Then Rauleigh was so fixated on Maesha, and had metaphorical horse blinders on shutting out processing anything else that it seemed like it (the method) would have helped get him into a better mindset. You also mention the gentle leader as a recommendation for their walks but Rauleigh was wearing one when you introduced him to the others and he was pulling out the wazoo. So I'm just a little confused.
an hour long video , my prayers have been answered
Love the "run the house like the military" comment. I have tried this with my new rescue and it works. I am the Captain, my 3 cats are my lieutenants and my dog is the private first class.

Your videographer is doing such a great job filming all this activity!
They do, but someone needs to get some camera/image stabilization hardware/software into the equation.

Love your voice overs, I think it really helps with the backstory & it gives good information before hand.
I had a dog (a male, 120 lb, "huge" black lab) who guarded his food. (Groweling, aggression) from me and a pit bull mix...I would hand feed him for a few days to let him know the food comes from me...then for a few days I would touch his food while he ate from his bowl for a few days. Then I called him from his food bowl to another room for a few days. It cured him of the aggressive behavior around food. Had to revisit a couple times. I hope this was appropriate. Two dogs-separate food bowls. Interesting, the lab was dominant over the food, between the two dogs and always ate first. The pit bull mix was dominant over sleeping arrangements and uber protective over females in the house.
If you can’t take a dogs food bowl away while they’re eating they don’t deserve a bowl. Hand feed them until they can be trusted.
I feel like working on the food aggression will do a lot more to establish order around the house than not letting them sleep on the bed.
Just a weird observation to note - the man keeps petting the dog near the end and seems to be the main one that was baby talking him the most while the dog played in the pool area. He’s putting off a “weaker” energy/vibe, and it makes me wonder if that’s why he’s become the target when this dog has a bowl of food in front of him. Not sure without being in the situation 🤷♀️ but possibly I would have advised him to start being more cognizant of how much “free” affection he’s giving the dog.
Great observation 👍 Thanks for pointing this out.
Agreed!! I also saw his “weaker” side when he asked the dog to sit WITH HIS HANDS not just his voice, he knew the dog was not going to listen so he was already guiding the dog physically
The dog also gave him a bit of side eye at one point toward the end.
Love how Joel says "You now have accepted me into your life" like people accept Jesus into their lives. He is the Dog training messiah who is saving all of us from dogs doing whatever the hell they want.

I hope this couple can be firm with this dog. HE runs the show. They seem to be a very sweet couple.
It's so good to see you talking to the owners a lot, sadly I haven't had the experience with the trainers giving proper time of explanation of things and listening to the back story or people's emotions.
Would be cool to see a video on what qualities and signs one should look for in a trainer.

I wish I could hear what the clients we’re saying. This session reinforces to me to always follow thru .
Nervous energy surely is a trigger for dogs, being able to sense that ahead of time is essential for bringing the dog new experiences with interacting with new dogs or even those familiar to them.

But, one thing I have learnt about hounds is how independent (and stubborn) they are, and her mouthing on us used to often happen as frustration because she wasn't getting her own way e.g. not being able to say hello to a dog. Following though, however much she chooses to try and ignore us, has really made a big difference. She will often bark at us when we keep following through on a command which she doesn't feel like doing at that moment, for instance "lie down". She has to "protest" (either refusing a command or barking at us) when she doesn't get her way but this is getting less the more we follow through, just as Joel suggests in this video. As a hound she is breed to work and survive as part of a pack, so I think knowing who's the boss (pack leader) is even more important than with other breeds. Follow Joel's advice because it really does work. Thank you Joel for all your great videos.
They owners look so happy! It was a really enjoyable video!
I really enjoy the long entire session videos!
Great video watched it all the way through. I love these long thorough videos, great info. I'm excited to book a private feisty fido session hopefully very soon!
What great customers. You did a great job of communicating with the lady.
MAD Respect on your training style!!!!
That was legit the cutest couple of all time on this channel, the dogs and them :D
This was great! I delayed my evening walks to watch but it was worth it!
Thank you very much for full video great to see. Great information
Quality content, and 54 minutes of it.awesome.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you.
54 min !!!! Wow awesome. Thanks Joel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You said something that reminded me of my dog Donnie .
I always wanted know what my dog was thinking.I had a dog, a mix Tibetan spaniel. I had to watch him how he reacts to every people we pass by as we walk ,he is friendly but on guard . He would stop and turn around and has almost nip a few people in their calves. He even did that to a very close friend. He doesn’t bark at all. He listens to me. He was very smart. He even greeted a friend into my house and then leading her to me by holding her finger in his mouth .. I wished a had a video of it.
Great video! I was wondering if you can recommend trainers with your methods/mindset in the Las Vegas area? Your videos are helping me so much with my dogs. Having chronic pain and health issues means I appreciate the quick results and no nonsense style even more. This was interesting seeing the combo of owner and dog training. I mean we all need training in order to properly convey what we expect from our dogs, most people watch for that reason, and seeing the post training discussion added to the whole picture if that makes sense. Glad I found your channel a few weeks ago, not sure if I’ve commented prior, but am grateful for all these excellent videos!
Cheers for video Joel. 👍
really love how we got to hear some of the ending discussion, I actually picked up a decent amount from that part!
I really enjoy watching these video's. I would, one day, love to adopt a dog from a shelter but I'm always a bit unsure because of what bad experiences or trauma's the dog might have. I have experience with dogs, but only "good" experiences. Thank you for sharing your way to help these dogs.
I am 100% certain my dog would never growl at me. Or my husband. That’s a tough cross to bear. Maybe a struggle about who is the boss. Nailing it, Joel! Such good advice.
Another great video reminds me of my dog. He looks and acts a lot like him. I found that letting my dog know that he can't be a bully to other dogs alone has helped a lot!
It amazed me that you knew instantly that it was about to kick off at 17:53.
Holy crap yeah that was amazing!
And the way Prince came up afterwards and was like "Hey, Dad, what was that?! Did I do good with him? Huh? Did I? Am I a good boy?" So sweet how Joel told him "I don't know what happened with you guys" 🥰
I like the fact that the whale trainer background of beckman is hinted at in the logo. Just wanted to say that.
Curious if its getting beter! Wish this lovely military family all the best!!
I love your videos & I share your page with litteraly anyone that has any issues with their dog. I always says to go through your videos & there is something for just about any issue. ❤ thank you.
I share him that way too!
@@Sentientdreamer ❤
I also recommend him to many in all my dog groups... Some people need more help than i want to comment so... go see Joel!
@@pittymama4500 right. I trained my dog a few years before I found him. Most was touch & go & others i talked to a few cops lol then I found Joel & almost all his methods where what I did, but I struggle putting it in words & explaining it. Also, he's just awesome.
I love full sessions
I am loving these videos, they re enforce what i already knew, but the loose lead method, i adopted that, thanks mate
Hey just fyi, there’s a CZcams channel called “German Shepherd Man”. He’s based out of FL! He has awesome videos. Today he posted a video to compliment JOEL BECKMAN! He told all his viewers to watch you!!! Charles Miller is his name. He’s a wonderful guy and gave me his phone number when I needed help with my GSD! He’s awesome and I highly recommend taking a look!!!
Great video! The way they describe him reminds me of my cocker spaniel with rage syndrome. He would wag his tail and then turn around and bite. The food resource guarding is also the same. I wish them luck. I hope they follow Joel's protocol.
I have one dog that occasionally will try to resource guard a very high value resource (we feed raw and red meat is his fav)and I quickly kick that resource out of the way and don't let the dog pursue it! A dog will no longer get that specific resource until he learns to respect me 100% with it.
Prince got mad because the dog was being a lil bit too much and went to a dominant position(over his shoulder). Pushing into him a bit.
Joel, something that worked with food aggression 100% is raising the dog bowl. Not having it on the ground so he can't hover over it and own it.
I agree. I did that with my dog and it really helped.
Good idea !
Prince methodically trying out different triggers--what a pro.. 🐕
Great content. Very funny in the outro with the:
“How do you feel about today? I would feel good if I were you guys.”
*continues to say things were good*
The air-humping haha. It didn't look like a dominance hump though. I think it's interesting when neutered males have a small drive, but don't quite understand things haha.
I'm interested in that particular aspect. Most trainers don't really elaborate on that type of humping behavior. You hear all about power-play dominance humping but nothing else.
What a silly boy!
Joel, the living legend😎
Very good commonsense training 👌
So helpful!!!
i do that exact thing with my pup, she's a bit stand offish with people coming over so i always greet them and push my dog back, then if they havent been over before i show them her hand commands, and hand them dog treats and tell them to give her commands to sit and back up. then she gets treats. it's been slowly working, i want her to know that humans are the boss's. She's a very smart pup and has been BEYOND receptive to training, ( I've taught her many hand commands within minutes)
Our dog came from Mexico (at 2 years old) and was on the streets and starving, so food was very important to her. She would knock the bowl out of my hands and spill food all over the floor when ever I fed her. I changed the way I fed her based on Cesar Milan's advice. When I fed her I would lift the food bowl straight up and make her sit each time. Cesar says to never pull the bowl away as it can make them aggressive. She could not get to the food until I placed it down and said "OK". She now sits and waits every time. I can walk all the way to the door and she will watch me and wait until I say OK. It's amazing the transition. No food aggression at all.
I just learn on the reason for the stretchy leashes as well= To soften the correction.
Thank you.
So love your videos. Great inspiration. Can you please add mics to your guests? Listening to anyone other than you in the video becomes very tough.
We adopted a 1 1/2 Doberman 2 weeks ago. He’s super active yet well behaved at times. However for some reason at night, if you’re laying with him he suddenly snaps and has tried to bite. It’s not our first time owning a big dog. We’ve hada german shepherd and Rottweiler before him. However this is our first rescue. We’re not sure what it can make him trigger, we’re thinking he was abused before and possibly has trauma 😔
Lol my olde english bulldogge love the rough play thing too, I always wrestle with her, 10mins later shes chill the rest of the day lol
I'm going ro watch this with earphones - our LA shelter rescue Willa can hear the lowest whine in the video and now she's looking for another dog at the window! ! (7 months old and in the shelter for a month. I'd be a nutcase if I was in a cement kennel in the pound for a month!)
Rolly got in between Prince and you Joel, almost positive that was the cause, Rolly was telling Prince HEY IM HERE and wouldn't move away when Prince was giving him the look and feel, so Prince told him off. Edit: It seems to me this guy needs more structure and respect in the house, boundaries rules limitations. He thinks he can get away with whatever, including telling humans what to do (even with teeth). He also needs to burn energy. They think he won't bite, and they laugh, but a food aggressive dog is not a good sign... if he's growling and backing the dad down, he may try and rule other parts of the house, especially if he feels he's losing control over other things (which he will be with new changes).
Nope I saw it. Had to remind but the Evaluated dog went what seemed to be playful over Princes head and ear it was sort of a nuzzle but also a go for it move to the neck. The Evakuated dog let go of it which was very good.
@Gail Everett oh I didn't see the throat rub. All of that can be threatening especially because it is near the that door gate and a human can be guarding. I also herd some of the incidents may have been guarding.
Great video as always.. Unfortunately it's easy to tell that this dog has been allowed to be the "leader" of the pack with his owners .. Hopefully the couple will take away your points and will notice a difference.
yay almost a podcast length!
Prince looks like a stallion.
I don't think that he would bite out of nowhere. Maybe he can realize that that muzzle will prevent him from biting so he is nice in this session, I have seen dogs change personality when they have an Ecollar on them. I think something happened with the dogs he had bitten and the owners didn't recognize it. I can't believe that a dog will bite out of absolute nowhere. There is always some warning before biting. Very interesting video. I am very curious to see him after the at home training.
Was hoping they’d do Godzilla 2019
A lot of Ghidorah shots look amazing
Don't understand how you could say this dog was " perfect " since you never felt comfortable enough to take him off the muzzle with other dogs?
Muzzle is a safety for the dog that he does not own. Should not take a muzzle off when you’re assessing a dog, with known bite history to see how he reacts to other dogs. There’s no built relationship.
Safety first.
Moreover thats a legal nightmare waiting to happen.
Been watching Joel for months waiting for the bloody dolphins. I thought that was the WHOLE point of the pool?
What's that flipper? The smugglers have hidden the gold in a cave out on the point?
And there's a bomb about to go off in uncle Festa's prawn trawler? Jiminy crickets!
Ha ha ha !
Lols! You win the comments section 🤣
For such owners is important to understand that dog will not love them less if they make rules in their house
Coonhounds can be a challenge. He will make you a better trainer. As soon as I get any dog, we start doing more and better treats when hands are by the food dish (so they're thinking where's my treat rather than I'm going to nail you); but if they're already growling from 5 feet away, you're not there yet. I would use a house line (6 foot leash with the handle cut so it doesn't catch on anything) when you're home so if he does get on the furniture and they don't happily get off when you tell them off, you can just grab the end of the leash to romove them. Less chance of getting bit. The power of permission too. Even if they are allowed on the furniture, they should still look to you before they jump, just to confirm (they're asking permission) that it's ok to get up. Pat the couch or if not allowed, direct them to their bed - park it. We give our Dobes their own toddler bed - waterproof, can just wash the crib sheets, and less likely to get destroyed than the cheap dog beds that fall apart the first time you wash them, yet the dog is still comfortable since it's not the hard floor. Start journaling what his triggers are - when, what time of day, toys, food, or people around, etc. Then there's an accounting that you can look back to see if it's getting better, what to do better, etc. Like my growly, less confident male is afraid of doorways so I know the door has to be wide open before he'll go through it. Every single doorway you come to, sit, wait, not released until given the release word. Practice in the bathroom and bedroom doors first (both ways and not when they really have to eliminate) before attempting an outside door. Check out Joel's Rottweiler named Creed video for the doorway method. Going in/out doorways is a self rewarding behavior so usually treats aren't needed or even wanted at those times. We use bells for them to let us know when they need to go out - saves scratching on the door, but if it becomes a game or they don't have to eliminate each time I would nix the bells. A lot of it is just follow through and committing to taking daily action (without the use of pain as hounds tend to be very sensitive and like Joel says- pain messes with their brains) so your relationship improves. All I had to do with my first dog, a Whippet, was raise my voice and she would just shut down. Hope that helps.
He actually looks a lot like a Catahoula leopard dog which can be even more of a challenge than coonhounds. Again, he'll make you a better trainer. Get you more in tune to his body language and picking up on even the most subtle cues.
New viewer here, enjoyed seeing your work. With this dogs food aggression, with if he/she hand fed the dog the entire meal to show he’s not a threat to take the food but gives the food?
That was my first thought. Grab a handful, let him eat some, drop the rest in the dish. Grab some more....repeat. He'd see there's always more food, and that they aren't a threat to take it.
It would be nice if you could adjust the volume so we could hear the people that you're training. I could hardly hear any of their comments and I had the volume turned way up.
Joel, Prince went after him because he was at first dominating Prince using his head but it was he got between Prince and you using the head a hammer that Prince conrrected him. Prince was looking out for his Dad.
My rescue Rottie growls at anyone I hug. Handshakes are tentative but growls are a no go. I've had rotties for over 20yrs. Never seen this
nice!
Please do the people reactive video. I’m struggling with people rushing up to pet my dog. When she a billboard that say no touch no talk no eye contact. She’s really pissy about being interrupted when she working. As in not friendly to non pack members. I’d even come do that video with you.
I actually never understoond why (most) people always have to pet a strangers dog (maybe because it is i am from europe)..let's say i saw a 3 year old dog, then in human age, it would be a 24 year old guy or lady, it's pretty akward to walk up to a 24 year old stranger and touch him/her.
@@rebusdan you would think. but actually it happens more than we think. So while training my reactive dog.(The stranger danger protocol ) . I get a new trigger to deal with. People coming up and touching me. Before the greeting protocol. Or during high energy conversation. Which triggers(protection protocol) the dog to yell at the person very rudely . (its ugly)about the violation they just committed. everyone blames the dog. but in truth it was the rude human that created the reactivity.
I think this is more of a tell people off/ keep them out of your personal space/ don't pet random people's dogs. If it was family, that would be an issue, but these are complete strangers rushing up to y'all. And as he would say, you didn't accept these people into your life, so why would your dog react nicely.
If they want it to work, then they have to put in the work and they can't be anxious or doubtful or it won't work.
The Client's dog kept on placing his head over Prince's Back. I guess trying to show dominance. Prince finally got tired of it.
Too funny! The fact that the dog has been great with you and with people that they've boarded him with basically does say that the problem is them, not the dog. Probably, as you suspected, them being just a little too soft with him and letting him get away with stuff that he shouldn't.
Not.boring. I have a1 yr male dogo who weighs almost as much as me and this is the only method he is paying attention too
Please do a video on blind dogs that are people reactive. Thanks
Interesting when you shook hands with the owners and said from there on out it wouldn't be cool for Rawley to be mean to you because the owners accepted you/are now cool with you. I had a friend who'd adopted a pit bull, we'd drive around with the pit in the car then we'd stop at the store to get a drink and upon our return (owner of pit still in the car with the pit while us-two friends approached the car with our drinks) to the car the pit would bark at us through the closed window, so aggressively even though we'd been driving around with her for a while. She barked at us like we were complete strangers and it scared the crap out of us. Owner would just sit in the drivers seat and not redirect the dog, maybe just calmly tell the dog to stop barking. Eventually we worked up the nerve to get back in the car and the dog would calm down but we were terrified being in the car with the pit, never knowing if she was going to attack us. Eventually she did maul another friends hand one day when said friend stuck her hand in the car to pet the pit. Scary. I stopped associating with the "friend" who had the pit-always nervous that one day she was going to maul us in the car. Phew.
Dogs don't actually see very well. When the dog didn't smell you, it didn't recognize you
idk, i feel like he is a very good pup, i'm not too sure what the objective they want from training is, he seems a bit curious about stuff yeah, but he just seems to be playful all around.
Thank you❤❤❤
I’m curious to know if the bite to family members happened during an energy level change in the room? Sports game on, joke said, argument etc.
They got him at 6 weeks. Hmmm
I've also got a stretching leash but it's to reduce the impact on me more than him!
The owners have replied under another comment to say that they got Raleigh that young because his mother (who was a stray) was hit by a car and killed and a rescue centre took the pup in. They were fostering for the rescue centre at the time and took him on with an estimated age of 6 weeks. So it wasn't that they chose to buy a puppy at 6 weeks old. I thought that was relevant when I read it. As Raleigh didn't get to learn from his Mom or litter mates as a puppy and had the trauma of seeing his mother killed.
@@TheMinimalistTherapist ah so sad
Suggestion on a non reactive but always wanting to greet other dogs dog? Will I create an issue if I’m alway hitting him with an ecollar every time he wants to interact with another dog? He’s 166lb intact male Newfie 22 months old
Hi Joel. Does putting a muzzle on a dog cause fear as they feel they are not able to defend themselves if attacked? I am debating putting a muzzle on my reactive american bulldog but worried this will make her anxious and fearful. Thanks 😊
I think the safety of other dogs is more important than how your dog feels about the muzzle. Desensitize to the muzzle, then you can safely work the dog. There are plenty of videos on this channel of reactive dogs that were muzzled yet show improvement.
Wish i had a dog trainer like this in the uk my old dog attcket me but i think that was my tholt couse i walk in with hood up and think he was worred
A pet dog doesn't get to choose what humans think is cool or not. Human says it's good, it's good. Price of food and shelter.
17:53 My guess is that Prince didn't like being rubbed on by the other dog so much, especially not having anywhere to really go to get away from it
This accepting people we dide somewhat instinctivly, whenever new people come to us he barks deep voiced and as we say hi to them he changes to a high bark xD as un "ohmaygawd frens" kindof bark and as they are in it's even over 😊 (now that's a vocal type of dog so wee can't totally stop him barking for forever) and it made better the walking on the street, took months tho for him to accept riders - thanks & applause for those two cyclist who stopped by themselves to say hi & make sure the dog don't fear them, it surely heloed a lot (we approached others ourselfes too 9n our walk)
Macie was jealous😂
i have asked on a few of your videos about the whole bed thing and now i finally know why you say that. both of my dogs sleep in the bed with us but they also have never bit anyone so im guessing that isnt something i need to try and fix.
This vid was a year old before I saw it….curious to know if Joel has ever worked with a catahoula (aka Catahoula Leopard dog)
I absolutely love Black & Tan Coonhounds. I grew up with them being our hunting dogs, and the reason my Stepdad chose the breed is because of how good they are with people. If you look up temperament on Google for them, you get: Easygoing, Trusting, Adaptable, Even-Tempered, Gentle, and Loveable. I'd say that's very accurate from my experience. Of course, this dog is a mix, and breed only makes up a portion of the formula, but Black & Tan Coonhounds are generally great with people. Maybe you should've asked about what they do for blowing off energy, because hounds have oodles of energy and can run for miles and miles.
He's not a black & tan; this is a blue tick coonhound, mixed with something else. Based on his face and mainly eyes, I would guess Australian cattle dog
Asking to have a better understanding, but is there a reason you didnt pop the leash? I was surprised when the gentleman was being pulled along on the short springy leash after getting out of the car and walking down, that you didnt start doing your leash pop method. He even pulls you a bit to meet Maesha. Then Rauleigh was so fixated on Maesha, and had metaphorical horse blinders on shutting out processing anything else that it seemed like it (the method) would have helped get him into a better mindset. You also mention the gentle leader as a recommendation for their walks but Rauleigh was wearing one when you introduced him to the others and he was pulling out the wazoo. So I'm just a little confused.
