haha you can tell she watches at least some of this content and did her research on how to approach a dog like hers. Always refreshing to see someone who was going after the wisdom of others first and asking for help when they know the limits of their ability. no arrogance, no ego, just a desire to learn and help her dog. 10/10 owner.
Agree! This owner is excellent and this is the type of owner a troubled dog needs. She’s demanding respect which is what an unruly dog will ultimately gain progress with. If we can redirect diplomacy and consequences with respect then the need for consequences lessen, in my experience with my dominant rescue. Great job
So impressed with the empathy you showed this dog Joel. And what a result. Simply amazing diagnosis and treatment. Loved the first little helper dog. She knew it was all bluff. She was also awesome.
I was thinking right when you called that little dog a champ, boy that little dog trusts that gate and really understands the power of the gate to protect her.
Okay this one made me a little emotional. It's so great to see him make friends. I mean his whole word is changing for the better because of this. Well done everyone!!!
You can’t be scared/nervous, when you are you risk sending that energy to the dog & making a situation worse, even if you are scared/nervous in a situation with a giant, somewhat aggressive/fearful dog, it’s best to stay cool, calm & collected or atleast pretend to be if you arent, you’ll notice that by pretending it helps feed the dog calm energy which starts to change their behavior making your confidence rise & before you know it you’ll actually be calm in that “scary” situation & you won’t be just pretending.
Fantastic video!! 😁 The lady that owns this dog is perfect....strong, and a loud enough voice to control it. My mom,auntie have always had German shepherds and they are great dogs in the right hands. Joel...... well he’s a fab dog trainer and knows his stuff, what could go wrong. 👍😁
I was thinking the same thing. I own a Belgian malinois, German Shepherd American Pitbull Terrier mix the dog in my picture and two other dogs right now. I've had four at most and she acts exactly as I do with my dogs. You have to be the leader, the Alpha to maintain order especially in a pack dynamic
@@primalcritters I agree, could you imagine never reprimanding our children,likewise with our dogs, rules and boundaries to keep them on the right track!! You have your work cut out there my friend with your pack, fair play to you!! 👍😁
@@baldurivar huh? I think you need to stop owning dogs if you disagree on how to be a leader for your dogs. They need leadership, they want direction and guidance. This is very natural. You like any strong, dominant breed such as a working line German Shepherd, X Malinois, Knpv x herder, or certain Mastiff breeds which I suspect you favor, you will learn very quickly that you will need to be the alpha
It was wonderful to hear that the play group was open to let him in again once the behaviour was corrected, it is a perfect example of conseqenses without punnishment.
I'm such an advocate of dog owners becoming educated on their dogs and how to properly train them so that the dogs can have a great life and the owners can too. They are much more responsibility than most dog owners realize and because they don't take that seriously enough, the dog, the owners, guests and other animals have to suffer. That's why I'm so glad I found this channel. I highly recommend that anyone reading this, share his videos with other dog owners that you know or even people considering getting a dog and take the time to choose a quality video that can be specific to the person and whatever dog situation they could benefit from. This channel has tons of videos to pick from.
Thank you, Joel. Another highly helpful video. Letting him 'bark it out' when he's overstimmed instead of immediately correcting that is very interesting. It really helped that the dogs he was barking it up on were SO unimpressed. Lol. The confidence of that first female he rushed in on & got no reaction from her was awesome. Beautiful GSD! Owner's great They're going to go far 🏆 together!
You don't yell too loud. I've seen people yell softly, it's not effective. This owner is great. She knows her dog very well, and she's willing to go the extra mile to give him what he needs.
Your instincts with dogs is incredible to watch. I love that you’re not one-size fits all and how you seek to understand the dog and the situations that got them where they are. I also really like the respect you show to your clients. I have dealt with 2 different dog trainers and both were very condescending to me. And that little dog at the beginning was so helpful too!
I think Connery wanted in the pool area so bad. “Cpme on Joel, let me come in just for a minute. I want to have a little conversation with that big boy. Please?”
How your able to understand that the dog is being emotional and is out of its mind so it shouldn’t get corrected at that moment rather let him get some clarity is amazing!! 👏👏
You are the reason why my pup who is only 5.5 months old is 100% perfect on his recall, he is growing to be a wonderfully socialized and beautiful animal. These videos are mostly what has made him who he is and he will be a great ambassador for his breed.
This was super useful from a training standpoint, and also it's like therapy watching such a beautiful group of dogs frolicking around at the end. I could watch that all day! And your camera person somehow catches the action without making me dizzy.
Aww this I think is one of my favorite videos. He just needed a gentle balance of help and then one the emotion is out he could begin to connect again!! Awesome!
Props to Caiya (spelling?) who came back and stood her ground while that big German Shepard barked at her. That was impressive to watch! I would love to know her story. Brave girl!
That GSD at the beginning acts like my giant dog when he's on the lead and sees another dog. After watching many of Joel's videos he's calmed down a lot, some days we look almost normal. Some days we don't react. Other days we take 2 steps back and the years go by. My big old dog is getting grey and too tired to fight I think. Joel's videos work, it's just that people think they are training the dog, but it's the people that are the ones being trained. Great work as usual 💖
So good. Can relate to this a lot. Have a younger GSD who is 15 months and goes all loud and crazy when he meets other dogs. Your tips and techniques are very helpful! Thank you 👍🏼
This video is amazing. I was honestly surprised to see how he progressed, my gut would have been much more reserved in letting him meet other dogs but you were so confident in his intent and body language. This dog will need a lot of positive experiences with other dogs to get back into being with other dogs. I also love how you know how to pair the ideal dogs for the experience for the GSD while at your training facility. Really loved this video it again taught me new things with dog behavior. Thank you Joel!
My Shepard mix was attacked by a 120lb mastiff mix and has numerous scars from it, and she became reactive afterwards as well.This video was very helpful for her new issues.
Well done everyone and well done to the playgroup who will welcome this lovely boy back. Teenage male dogs just need to get through this bit with understanding and consistent feedback. How effective are those “HEY!!!! - go get - grab - I’m giving you the hairy eyeball” manoeuvres that Joel does!?
Excellent job interrupting the behavior when they're all off leash to prevent any potential for behavior escalates on both those occasiona. So important for dog handler to be in proximity to make those interruptions. Great work !!
This is a great video and how simple this process can be with the right knowledge... also glad Beckman decided to switch up the filming and talked during the actual filming instead of voice over in the background..
For me, this is the BEST video. You always know exactly what the dog needs. And how to communicate it to the owner with compassion ❤😊 . I also love your set up, the pool, the pasture, your staff. However I am afraid 😱 of your “loud” yell 😂😂😂😂
Can’t thank you enough for your videos this one is the most spot on situation my dog is in, she was always afraid of other dogs acted like the lowest in the pact, ran away, and hid never tried to bite, was perfect in my eyes for a German shepherd, then she was attacked and turned really aggressive like this dog, goes exactly crazy like this seeing other dogs, imma definitely try this, I tend to correct when she is expressing her emotions because I’m also traumatized from her getting attacked she actually fought back really bad, I tend to forget she does listen to me when I tell her to stop but I feel like I should let her emotions play out a bit more because she’s always very anxious shaking, slobbering yawning and staring too hard, but she’s made friends with another German shepherd, but because he was really unbothered by her dominant bully behavior he helped her a lot socially
I can out yell you any day any alsation. I'm 88 years female dogs all my life Love how you read the dogs Also could you show more of your introductoin it looks amazing you coming out of the water. Great work.
I am so addicted to your ways of understanding and teaching dogs, and I don't even have a dog! I do occasionally dog-sit for family members that have dogs, though. I will do my best to handle them your way, thank you :)
I am only about 5 mins into this video, and I see that this owners situation is very like my own,, my AB was attacked, and he then become completely dog aggressive. I'm excited to find out how I am going to now be able to correct this behaviour!! 👍😁
I liked the explanation when you corrected the pushy dog that was overstepping the German Shepard’s boundaries. My Cattle Dog will warn and then nuke a dog that acts like that. Some dog owners don’t seem to understand it’s their dog that initiated the problem. I stay out of dog parks and never see the problem any more… AND, you’re just loud enough! People need to be less sensitive.
Small dog owners are the worst especially. It’s almost as if when you have any large powerful dog breed, your dog can’t show any emotion like any other dog, cannot have their breaking point, can’t react and has to have saintly behaviour at all times....even when the small dog starts it, the bigger, scarier, badder looking dog gets blamed
Agreed, this owner isn't putting up with any be from her dog and is in total agreement with Joel and supportive of his training methods. I actually thought this dog was going to be aggressive, but is not.
I have only recently discovered your channel, and this is great I immediatly subscribed, because you don't sell BS :) I live in Belgium and have a bit of the same problem with my german shepherd. He's 2,5 years old and used to be great with other dogs, until he got attacked. Now for the past year, i can't go anywhere with him, if there are other dogs. Problem is, that most people on the street with dogs, don't understand that he has to learn to trust again, and they act in a negative way. Either they take a defensive stand, or start yelling. How can i socialize him, if others won't let us?
My GSD reacts just like this dog & can look extremely aggressive. My dog is a lockdown pup & never got the chance to play with other dogs, which is heartbreaking for me. I'm now scared to let her off the lead around other dogs as I don't know how she'll respond. I love this video & and I think your methods are amazing. I just don't have the same setup as you, but I wish I could spend ten minutes in your company to give me the confidence & give my dog Rogue the confidence too. I have had many GSD & never had any issues before. I'd give anything to see Rogue playing with other dogs & be a contented dog that isn't anxious.
Hey man, two big questions - unfortunately I missed your live! 1) I have two male German shepherds, almost 4 months old. They are great and they spend a lot of energy on playing/wrestling with one another, which I love. That said, sometimes they play bite, bark, growl, and get pretty rough. Any time I step in (which I do regularly to assert control) they respect me, but how much play fighting with their brother is OK and how much is dangerous/training aggression? 2) One of the puppies (the larger and typically more dominant one) barks, whines, or makes other noises ALL the time. Seriously, I think he is vocal more than he is quiet. I have taught them "no" and he will respond for a few minutes after being told "no", but then starts right back up. I have also tried bending down, gently closing his mouth, saying "no", and then releasing. Again, this works for a moment and then he is back at it. How do I stop the out of control vocalizing? Are they too young and am I expecting too much? Thanks!
If you find out let me know. I have a dachshund that won't be quiet and barks at certain family members, anyone on stairs, anyone at the door or even if she hears birds on the TV. It's beyond hard to deal with.
Dogmata on you tube has some behavior videos about dogs and too exiteable play, I think their channel offers some unique perspective as an adjunct to beckman's channel
This owner is really smart, she knows her dog really well. I appreciated hearing her commentary on him a lot.
She is a Rockstar the way she corrected him at the beginning.
This owner is exactly how I am with my dogs I love her
I like her too. She is clearly trying to curb the inappropriate behavior.
haha you can tell she watches at least some of this content and did her research on how to approach a dog like hers. Always refreshing to see someone who was going after the wisdom of others first and asking for help when they know the limits of their ability. no arrogance, no ego, just a desire to learn and help her dog. 10/10 owner.

Joel: I yell too loud..
Owner: No, you don’t.
I love this lady!!!!
she's clearly in the school of "we're over it" XD XD XD
Yeah, I have to say she's definitely one of my favourite owners I've seen on here. Super smart and aware. He's a lucky fella, is Dex 😊💖
That owner knows what's up! I like her. Her dog is lucky to have her as a mom!
I appreciate the mic on the client. Excellent 👏
That lady knows whats up. One of the best client weve have seen on this channel
Great owner, limited knowledge and resources like all us, but still doing great, she doesn't seem to baby and confuse the dog
I like this ladies attitude, shes awesome
So impressed with the empathy you showed this dog Joel. And what a result. Simply amazing diagnosis and treatment. Loved the first little helper dog. She knew it was all bluff. She was also awesome.
Yesssss she was so cool. Also when the second dog came in she kind of protected the big gsd and told him it’s ok ....❤❤❤
I was thinking right when you called that little dog a champ, boy that little dog trusts that gate and really understands the power of the gate to protect her.
Okay this one made me a little emotional. It's so great to see him make friends. I mean his whole word is changing for the better because of this. Well done everyone!!!
It always amazes me how he knows to interrupt a dog in a bad behavior without fear of the dog snapping at/biting him. I'm learning so much. Thank you!
You can’t be scared/nervous, when you are you risk sending that energy to the dog & making a situation worse, even if you are scared/nervous in a situation with a giant, somewhat aggressive/fearful dog, it’s best to stay cool, calm & collected or atleast pretend to be if you arent, you’ll notice that by pretending it helps feed the dog calm energy which starts to change their behavior making your confidence rise & before you know it you’ll actually be calm in that “scary” situation & you won’t be just pretending.
Poor guy just got a fright. He's a really good dog and just needs socialization.
That little dog is such a cool dog.
Love this lady owner, she knows how to control her beautiful GS boy
Fantastic video!! 😁
The lady that owns this dog is perfect....strong, and a loud enough voice to control it.
My mom,auntie have always had German shepherds and they are great dogs in the right hands.

Learned a LOT from this video, thanks!
That's one beautiful boy! Glad to see an owner putting so much work into their pup
I love dog owners who know their dogs,
Great job!!
I feel.that woman does alot of dog sports and understands behavior really well, is a good trainer herself
Great owner, you can tell she really cares. Sadly that's pretty rare in my experience.
Him: i yell too loud
Owner of the shepard: no you dont
What a handsome boy he is!! I agree with the complimentary comments about Joel, GSDs owner, and the little helper dog ❤
Kia was so brave and lovely, and I'm do happy this fella got to experience being relaxed with other dogs. Happiness all around 😊❤
I'm not a German Shepherd fan, but that dog is beautiful.

Over 400 videos to be exact.

That owner is awesome 😎

It's good to see Connery, I do miss Meisha too
I have a soft spot for those two, too. Connery is such a helper, and Meisha is a model!

That dog has the kind of bark that shakes you to the core.
ANOTHER great video my friend what a beautiful GSD
Aww this I think is one of my favorite videos. He just needed a gentle balance of help and then one the emotion is out he could begin to connect again!! Awesome!
Love the owner! She’s super capable!
Props to Caiya (spelling?) who came back and stood her ground while that big German Shepard barked at her. That was impressive to watch! I would love to know her story. Brave girl!

For some reason I wanna see him meet a bunch of young puppies.

So that’s the secret? Your dog watching Joel’s videos eh? 🤪🇬🇧
This is amazing. Showing us that not all dogs need a Prince all the time.
Enjoyed watching this process, and the progress that he made was awesome.
This was my favorite owner I’ve seen working with you thus far. Great video.
Love your videos. So helpful, and makes me so hopeful too!
She knew the method and has pretty much perfected it. Just needed the desensitization from Joel. Great session and awesome owner!
I LOVE THE BARK OF THIS DOG ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS BARK
So good. Can relate to this a lot. Have a younger GSD who is 15 months and goes all loud and crazy when he meets other dogs. Your tips and techniques are very helpful! Thank you 👍🏼
Would love to see updates on this one!

I can out yell you any day any alsation. I'm 88 years female dogs all my life
Love how you read the dogs
Also could you show more of your introductoin it looks amazing you coming out of the water. Great work.
This is such a master class. So useful thank you.
8:08 what an absolute doll that little dog is
I like how you put your explanations on the screen!

I am only about 5 mins into this video, and I see that this owners situation is very like my own,, my AB was attacked, and he then become completely dog aggressive.
I'm excited to find out how I am going to now be able to correct this behaviour!!
👍😁
Your first step would be to do exactly what he told her to do with people that will help. Just follow what Joel did in the video. 🌟
Brilliant video beautiful dog love the first girl dog such a sweetie. Love watching you at work.
Never had a dog or fond of having one but I really enjoy your videos. Informative, educational and interesting to watch dog psychology in action.
this was the first time in all your videos that ive seen how you handle hard quick corrections for a jerky dog
Seriously? Why have I seen so many? 🧐
I liked the explanation when you corrected the pushy dog that was overstepping the German Shepard’s boundaries. My Cattle Dog will warn and then nuke a dog that acts like that. Some dog owners don’t seem to understand it’s their dog that initiated the problem. I stay out of dog parks and never see the problem any more…
AND, you’re just loud enough! People need to be less sensitive.
People who wear headphones have the loud noises a lot worse.
Small dog owners are the worst especially. It’s almost as if when you have any large powerful dog breed, your dog can’t show any emotion like any other dog, cannot have their breaking point, can’t react and has to have saintly behaviour at all times....even when the small dog starts it, the bigger, scarier, badder looking dog gets blamed
This is the best dog training channel ever, thanks Joel!!
4:35 Prince calling the bluff 😂
That looks like every German shepherd. in my neighborhood. and there are a few!
I am so proud of that dog! What a huge change!! Goodluck to the owner and hope he meet more doggy Friends, Great Video Joel! 🦮❤
What a beautiful German shepherd.
Agreed, this owner isn't putting up with any be from her dog and is in total agreement with Joel and supportive of his training methods. I actually thought this dog was going to be aggressive, but is not.
First dog he met was like “pal I’m not threatening”
what a good dog! i was very impressed by him once he started getting desensitized.
I ove how Joel not always goes for prince all the all-in-one solution but really can read the dog. What a MVP!
I love how the first dog was having none of it. Like bro.... Stop being a jerk...
You're not too loud... :)
I have only recently discovered your channel, and this is great I immediatly subscribed, because you don't sell BS :)

always yelling at us.

At last you're back with a decent time video on CZcams! Good to see you. And as usual a great session!
Nova the Akita and I really appreciate your help. If we’ve missed Ka Hoots meet or videos we will get back on schedule.
How do you find out the Kahoots schedule?
He’s such a beautiful dog
This is so lovely to see. Great work and switched on owner too!
Him and Kaya (?) was really sweet. So cute to see him relax and play with her.
Hey man, two big questions - unfortunately I missed your live!
1) I have two male German shepherds, almost 4 months old. They are great and they spend a lot of energy on playing/wrestling with one another, which I love. That said, sometimes they play bite, bark, growl, and get pretty rough. Any time I step in (which I do regularly to assert control) they respect me, but how much play fighting with their brother is OK and how much is dangerous/training aggression?
