I've been using this method, on a Miniature Schnauzer, since you either showed, or described it, in one of your really early videos "never let a dog blow you off" and, while we're still working on it... and will for a while because she's a hard headed ❤️ terrier, it was one of the best things I've learned regarding their training. Thank you!
One of the coolest things Prince did after Joel recalled him was get up on his hind legs and think about jumping on Joel, but Prince stopped in mid-air and turned the other way. Prince has been walked into one too many times and has no interest in it happening again.
@@alisonmeldrum8003 That’s what he means by “walked into”. Joel “walks into” the dog or gently “knees” the dog to teach him jumping on people is unacceptable. Either way, I love Joel and his methods. He’s not on the softest end of the spectrum where trainers say corrections are bad (which is ridiculous). But he’s also not on the harshest end either. He tailors the intensity and method depending on the dog, but he’s consistent enough where you can learn to do the same thing with your dogs.
I’m so glad and relieved to see that a “sit” thrown in this method is allowed, I sometimes ask my dog to sit so I can finally grab him and always thought I’m cheating in a way... Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!!
😂 There is no cheating because there isn't a set of rules to follow regarding behaviour, except maybe being relatively calm and assertive and have clear communication. But each dog might react differently also and you got be prepared to change methods.
I'm impressed with your honest explanations real life with dogs. I have a question pls what is this talk of telling your dog=me services dog to potty on command ? I know Thier timing but anyplace you tell them explain pls if that is reality. Tam in Tex
@@TAMINTEX I can tell you that having your dog learn to go on command is possible. I've had several dogs over 21 years and all of them were taught to go on command.
Yeah I also figured it's way more realistic than what last was going on when I went to a dog trainer in a group class. My dog is great with little agility like challenges and tricks. But if he is on a walk he is all about sniffing and staying as far behind to do so as possible. The dog trainer didn't take me seriously about it being a problem for me as "it is good when you dog isn't pulling ahead of you" 😒 She's want everyone to just say a command 1 time and "give the dog time to think cause they will do it ans repeating will teach them to not listen the first time". I told her I know my dog and he will simply get distracted and forget I even gave a command. I had to try and it didn't take lomg for him when he realized we stood still that he can take the opportunity to sniff around and ignore me 😂 So she just decided that I should skip that excercice while everyone else did it 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for nothing! Could have done that on my own lol
This is so true man. I can’t recall my dog at the dog park. This is because I learned recall with positive reinforcement and nothing I have competes with dog play. Very well said, and I appreciate you showing the process
Interesting. I have herding collies with expansive pastures. I teach them recall by randomly calling their name while on a walk to come to me. When they do, I put them in a sit for 5-10 seconds. Then, I profusely praise them and send them away. It is very reliable until...rabbits. Once my collies are in hot pursuit of a wild rabbit in a huge pasture, there is nothing that can persuade their adrenaline bathed brains to hear me. They even let out this high pitched yell as they sprint to catch it. They are worse than Black Friday shoppers racing through a store to snag a 50% off TV.
That high level of drive is really hard to control. I would use an E-collar, but maybe you can make the go get method if you have a smaller place where your dog is reachable. Maybe you can throw a ball and recall the dog in the middle of his sprint towards it to make he stop in the middle of simulated prey drive hunt. That's a start.
I always tell to puppy ovners that recall can save theyr dogs life! And I also did the go get method to my friend boxer who thought it was a game, except we were in the forest, it took me 5 mins and then she realised that ohh shit that crazy lady does not play with me, so now if anyone calls her, she is immediately there ! Sooo happy to learn that method from You !!!
Amazing, we used this method on our 9 month collie. Did it 10 times max and the impact was incredible. The most effective training session we have ever had and with permanent, lasting results. Hit the nail on the head, thank you!
This also adds a level of safety that I wish was mentioned. It could literally save their life in a dangerous situation that your dog might be entirely unaware of.
Thank you for your great content. I was a trainer years ago, stepped away for a few years and am now back at it for about 6 months now. Where I work we use a style that branched off from Cesar and his work a decade ago (I dont know if you also are using his methods or just using knowledge from years of experience, or both). Your videos have been a great source of comparison and learning so that I can see a different perspective on similar concepts. Implementing your tips and tricks have made my level of skill double overnight! Trying to explain the ideas to clients is a different challenge. But I admire your bravery for going out on the internet to teach "assertive" training in a world where dogs have been humanized onto such a pedestal and I thank you for that.
Yes, trying to help someone remotely without seeing the owner or the dog is nearly impossible. I direct them to Joel's videos. Seeing him in action does so much more than a million of my words.
Did you quit training dogs because of the owners and their attitude and how they can not change their mind? For me this was the reason to quit horse training...
Love this! I asked this question a few days ago through instagram and this shows how much you care about your followers. I agree 100% with the “treats cannot compete with the dog park”. It’s like bribing your dog with treats which doesn’t work and the dog controls the situation. I’m gonna train this with my 9,5 months old Golden Retriever, thanks Joel
So why Would you go to a dog park if your dog does not have a reliable recall. In my city the sign outside the park states that your dog must have a reliable recall. The point of a Training a reliable recall is to ensure your dog’s safety In any environment including off leash. This training would obviously be useless unless in a small contained area.
@@Flippokid A better plan would be to use a long line outside of a dog park or a place with heavy dog traffic As an intermediate step. Not that there isn’t endless entertainment value in watching someone do the go get method in a dog park.
Now that our dog responds reliably to "Come!" from both of us, our options for off-leash hiking have expanded. We spread out and keep him busy running back and forth. He's a young GSD and not quite distraction-proofed yet. Thanks to you, we're making great progress.
It worked...It worked!!!!!!!!!! It's the 'pop' of the voice, sit, hold the collar..and I wait until she calms down......I was amazed!!!!!!!!!!! She did exactly everything that this dog did too!!! Reason I love your channel because its real time. its hard to watch other videos and the dog isn't like what is being taught....Phenomenal..Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Joel, I love the realistic presentations of your videos. You truly demonstrate the real actions of a dog with methods and techniques to correct inappropriate behaviors. Keep up the good work.
I LOVED this video. Especially because I have a Shepard mix . He did this exact “game play” this morning, only I caved, laughed & could not get (obviously)him. I have a fenced backyard and now I know how to do it!! Thank you
Just found this channel. Can't wait to implament what you are teaching. Also love how straight forward you are and your approach. No gimmicks and serioues about what you do. Thank you for the much needed info👑
It's a big game-haha yes. Thank you so much. Joel, many of your tips are helping both me and the hounds I am working with. I have 4 really great dogs where the owners put out all the time, love and energy into training them-best walks ever with this dogs. The other 7 I am busy correcting and training and couldn't have done it successfully without all demonstrations, instruction and no nonsense approach to everything. Thanks again.
Really helpful this video I was having all sorts Re Call problems with my 18 month Thai ridgeback here in 🇬🇧 watched a bunch of your videos since first getting Ghost at 10 week. Your videos that have all helped one way or another me become better to understand my Boy. Both Me & Him are still learning. He’s amazing family dog who he protects with his life. 💪 keep the uploads coming.
I have a SUPER prey reactive hound mix. He's got treeing walker in him, ysee, and we have two pine trees and a fence, so... When he's caught a scent, there's very little we can do to gain his attention. It's not a game, he's just inconsolably focused on the chase. Snagging his collar on one of the runarounds and forcing his attention is just about the only way to get him in the house. Holding the collar like this is what we were taught to do in obedience classes as a correction (trainer had AKC obedience trial champs and taught from the ground up). Glad to know I'm not missing some big trick to control him! Edit: He's about five different coonhound/foxhound/prey reactive hounds on the one side, and great pyr on the other. He's 80+ lbs. Used to be very very pull-y on leash. Main owners are over 60 and would break something if they got dragged or fell because he cut across them. We literally couldn't afford to put up with his BS. Training is what saved him from being an owner surrender back to the shelter.
Great work Joel! Persistence and consistency is key for any command. You always follow through with what you ask of the dog and that’s what works. I think that’s where people go wrong.
Just discovered this channel and in love thank you for demonstrating. 'Come I have treat' or 'come you're on long lead' days are overrr. You have no choice in the matter buddy. You're coming to me now
Love this!!! I have started doing this with my older dog who has learned to use his size to his advantage when he doesn’t want to listen to go out potty. Now I will continue to get him and make him get up to go do what I asked rather than just allow him to decide not to listen & lay down. I just got an e-collar for my puppy to assist me with the recall as well as other behaviors I am working with him to correct but I still will use the go get method as he is being conditioned on the collar! Love your videos they give so much great information!!!
I’ve been trying to get my 7 month old pitbull to come every time. This is the first video I’ve found that shows a method that works. And I really like that you showed this method without treats
You've been the one real trainer I have seen that can legitimately help me. Positive reinforcement has not helped me, at all. My dogs in training to be a service dog, and things started put really good, but he's very stubborn. He knows what I'm asking, but it seems like he just thinks he doesn't need to listen to me. It's bizarre, because truth be told, I'm the only person he legitimately listens too, but I see it the most during training, after like 5-10 minutes, he just decides he doesn't want to listen anymore, and basically shuts down. I have no clue what to do anymore, and I'm getting really frustrated
Thanks for all your help for my german shepherd ...he is a mich eadier dog to control..he wslks great and still working on recall...gonba try this method for sure...you are a blessing...better then my trainer..keep doing whatbyour doing your helping do many paw parents❤
there are no games to make family dogs there are only the best ways to create family dogs this process works.... I show my clients this all the time while working with their dogs... great work Joel......
Perfect instructions! My dog does fence chasing back and forth full speed. When I call her I even see her eyes looking at me as she runs past! She even picks up speed. Nasty blow off. Can’t wait to do this method with my dobe.
I love your videos they have helped me with my german shepherd immensely. He now walks calmly with me. He didnt go nuts in large crowds. So much better and i am using less treats. Thanks foryou
Thanks Joel! This one and the ones for transitioning to off leash are perfect for Jimmy my 6 month old greyhound. I've already worked his recall with food and toys - it's not enough. He needs THIS TOO! 🐕
This is so real and raw. Thank you for making me feel okay with an imperfect recall. 3.5 month old Rottweiler owner. Obedient in everything but recall😅
what a relief!!!! My dog trainer said I should be fun so that they want to come back to me,,,,, but I am not that kind of person.... so this video is a massive relief. I will try my best, but this will be big help! Thank you
Thank you! This is my main problem with our dog! He would get out of our back yard and run away from everyone. I told the kids we would just have to run him down and get him. This is much easier if neighbors have fenced in yards so we could corner him. Since we started doing this he seems a little better. I will try your training and see if the next time he gets out or at the dog park he will comply with the come command. Thanks for the video!
Hi Joel. Comment from England here. Thanks for this excellent video. Some videos are just pure gold and this is definately one of them. I like the way you train dogs with a fair but no nonsense approach and without e-collars which I haven't got anything against its just I prefer to train my akita without. It may take me a little longer but the sense of achievement will make it all the more worthwhile. I've always had akitas and gsd's since the early 90's and found the gsd's so easy to train perfect recall to.. whilst the akitas tend to go deaf when being recalled. Your absolutely right when you say never let the dog blow you off. I'd just like to add ... as some owners do not seem to know, dogs are more sensitive than most people realise (certain breeds more than others) and pick up on the slightest changes in our actions and emotions.. so never train yor dog when you are in an emotional state, be it sad or angry, it is counter productive to training and not fair to your dog. Nice to see a trainer who doesn't always need to stuff a few kilos of treats into a dog to train it as well. I watch alot of your vids mainly because of your dog Prince, it's so obvious he loves you and their is a very special bond between the two of you.
If you are from England what do you think of that TV show “it’s me or the dog? “ With that Victoria person as a trainer. She doesn’t like Cesar Milan however he is way more successful than she is and for many many years
Hi Joel, having watched a lot of videos has shed different light on all sorts of scenarios when training my 3 year old intact male border collie from when he was a puppy. Including the no nonsense go get method and overall training/living life has really helped in having an awesome dog! Big thank you from the Netherlands here! My dog has a 95% solid recall. 95% as I notice that since half a he starts doing the following when called: Keep sniffing at a great distance for a few seconds or even longer if the smell is interesting, then mark/pee and only after that he comes bolting toward me in a straight line without further hesitation and sit in front of me as he knows is expected. The go get method is at this point almost impossible due to the distance and he knows it so he will come running (whenever he is ready). I feel I should not grab him after he runs towards me full of passion to do well. Most people around me are already impressed with the recall but I feel he needs quite some leadership as he likes to make his own plan and can sometimes get in trouble with off leash dogs with no owner in sight. So I really want to prevent this to become the beginning of him ‘doing his own thing’ for many (safety) reasons I probably don’t have to explain. Also the comment is long enough already ;) Is there any advice you could give? For now I am trying to make recall more fun and unexpected. Which works in super swift response, but not when smell is involved.
I live in almost outback Queensland Australia on an 80 acres cattle farm. I took my dogs for a free range walk/run across paddocks thinking I had my three Staffies on recall. My little English Staffy caught scent of a Red-Belly Snake laying in the grass in the sun. I lost her and it nearly killed me. We don’t have dog trainers out here other than one self-acclaimed positive reinforcement trainer. My first thought after cutting that enquiry short was ood luck with reactive Staffies/Anstaffs! I’ve been following you for a little while Joel as I’ve only recently come across your channel and your videos are on point. My AmStaff was stubborn as hell and it was all down to my slackness that she got that way. Also the fact I deployed 3 times and mum house sat my dogs for me. All training went out the window after the third deployment. I spent my first dinner home pushing my dogs out from around my feet. They’d never done that but mum had been feeding them from the table. The local dog Walker (in city at the time) would just let them drag her around the block. I’ve since trained my AmStaff on a gentle leader and have done everything in your training video on them. She went from dragging me virtually to being beside my pant seam 😀 I’m lucky she’s not food motivated as it’s made me think to use basic commands as you do and not over complicate training rather than ‘having conversations’ and begging her. We will start recall tomorrow. We NEED more trainers like you in Australia ❤️
Very interesting method. I tried it on my shepsky today after he counter surfed and stole a carrot, it worked. He was quick to obey the drop it command as well. Will definitely be working on his recall with this. Thanks!
Started watching your videos a few days ago because I was annoyed with carry treats with me everywhere. I adopted a 1.5 year old not neutered dog with almost zero training other than sit. A week later he walks 90% leash perfect, comes 50% of the time and we are working on leave it and off-leash walking. I’m your biggest fan! Thanks so much!
Joel, we adopted a dog 7 weeks ago and I've been watching your videos. Our Jake no doubt a runner and runs like the wind. He got away from my hubby in area that's unknown to all of us. My.hubby followed on foot and I in the car as I had an Injury that was healing. When I did meet up with them. Got out of the car. Yelled Jake come very firmly. He did come. I didn't even have to use my sound trainer. But I will be practicing your methods.
Looking forward to trying this in a few months when my dog is a little older. Thank you for showing how it doesn't work the first time. I've been looking for a trainer that doesn't show a dog that they have been doing multiple sessions with to demonstrate a training method.
Trained a fetch with our now 11mo Irish setter doodle puppy after we got him about 4 mos ago, with a leash and treats and it went pretty ok. It’s deteriorated over the last few weeks, he won’t come back, runs around like it’s a game. I’m getting frustrated, hating trying to go back to a leash and treats since we’ve already done this. After two go-gets yesterday with me keeping my cool, we’ve had better games of fetch than we’ve had in weeks. This with a combo of “never let them blow you off” is making a huge, fast difference. Fantastic stuff!
I have a 14 months old male Cane Corso he's a big baby i take him to the park he's a totally different dog he ignores me and won't listen to me for nothing he doesn't run off or away from me he stays to where he has eyes on me but I definitely am fixing to watch this i trained him when I first got him at 7 weeks old and I just stopped after a while now I'm learning so much more and would give anything to go back but without Micheal J Fox and Doc I don't think that's ever going to happen 😂 but enough of me running my yapper time to watch the video kuddos to you my friend!
The reason I don't care if they do it happily, excitedly, is because MAYBE I just called them out of the road before a car could hit them!!! That's why doing it 100% of the time is more important than happily!! Thank you SO SO much for this video!!!
My dog doesnmt have a good recall but I figured he is onto something because "somehow" my dog does actually listen to "stay" pretty reliably. I also think it's because I always used a very assertive voice when I told him to stay, giving the urgency feeling which also helped me stop him from running out to the road before! Like he'd be running but when I'd yell "STAYY!!!" He'd freeze up where he was and I am so glad! I wouldn't dare to ever let him off leash if it wasn't for this command. But I am so excited to try this method to finally get a reliable recall!
I'm going to start practicing this method today. Our Bailey moves like the speed of light when she sees a rabbit. Not sure she'd hear me but we will work on it :) We have 2 acres and no fence so it's important to have her come to us when called. Thank you!
I appreciate that you adress no-treats. I have been working with my dogs without treats for 3 years and started using treats recently. They are helpful with applying medicine and toe nail clipping. I like to use retrieves as positive reinforcement. That works great with my cattle dog. I started using treats when leash training my husky so that he looks at me instead of looking at everything else.
Treats are good for shaping a behavior and for creating positive associations with something (such as nail trimming). But if a dog knows what they need to do and decide to disobey, that is when they aren't as useful.
Many years ago I bought an older horse who's past owner only worked her hard when she was caught = she was extremely hard to catch. What I did was, keep her in a smaller corral (less than an acre) and took the time to "walk her down". Took me most of an afternoon. Kept her moving. Eventually catching her, then petting, treat, etc. Then letting her go for the rest of that day. It took only three days of this treatment, and she was no longer walking away from me. 1/2 Mogan, one of the smarter, and hardest headed breeds of horse. Had forgotten about doing this so long ago, until I watched this video.
My dog was 90% awesome. 10% distracted. I started the "go get method" and she's about 97% now. That's been about 3 days now. This is one of the least fun things I've had to do with the dog, but I feel it's the most important. Thanks for sharing this, there's no way I would have tried ot on my own. Stop and pop, as welll as threshold management also worked 💯. Only had to do that for a couple days, now it's all chill when we walk. I love my dog, that makes it hard to enforce structered discipline. But after the behavior is corrected its all fun times. So worth it. Thank you.
Your basic concept is good. I don't ever let my dog blow away from me after a recall until I release her. Also when your giving commands close to the dog your very loud. The quieter the better. You'll come across as more confident and in control. Loud commands are ultimately because your worried the dog will not perform the behavior. The dog will listen better to a quieter tone as well vs be annoyed by unpleasant harsh commands.
In the beginning of September, i rescued a pit from being euthanized due to “behavioral concerns” and lack of space at my city’s only open intake animal shelter. She went from being a total uncontrollable nut who didn’t even know her name, especially when it came time to come inside, making “come” a game… always at the wrong time making me late for work, school, etc. and although it was frustrating, i knew it was going to take a bit of patience and training for her to become the princess she has the potential to be. After applying this technique, although it did take a bit longer with me as an inexperienced pitbull owner/trainer, her recall has improved drastically! So much so, that if i’m on the other side of the house watching one of Beckman’s videos, when he says “come” she comes running to my side. She’s so smart and has come so far, im so proud of her!!! Thank you Mr. Beckman for providing dog owners around the world with a technique that actually works.
OMG, Thank you. I have a 2 yr.old and an 1 1/2 yr old both boxer's girls and need them to come when call. I will be working more now with them . Don't get me wrong, they come if i say who wants a good girl ( Treat). We have one acre fenced in backyard and live on 71 acre's, but want them to come right a way when I call. Thank you for sharing your video with us. All of my other dogs and boxer's came right away, these two are a little stubborn at times or my husband say, puppies still. Nope not how I see it, big girls that need to listen now.
Hi Joel, I admire your techniques and I believe your recall method is very effective. However, there is another aspect of recall which you might have overlooked and that is the work-dog. Dogs that have been bred to work, wether it is hunting, retrieving or herding, get a certain type of reinforcement from completing/doing this job, that exceeds the reinforcements dogs get from dog play and interesting smells in the forest. I have a Border collie that I taught to play fetch at a young age (So retrieving instead of her herding heritage!). She is so focused and interested in the game, that the reinforcement of me throwing the ball and her retrieving it is so good, that she does it in EVERY situation. Ofcourse this took some time, but the perfect recall, literally 100%, was achieved at around 7 months of age. I do believe combining your go get method with something like this would be golden, but I thought it was worth a mention! Thank you for your awesome content.
Treats do work great for this though. But only if they make the decision to come on the first call, and straight back. I also use them to "trade" their freedom for a cookie, so that they don't feel punished for coming. It's not completely necessary, but it doesn't hurt either. I also do a lot of recalls in the dog park where I let them go again right after, so they don't start assuming that they're being leashed when I call them. I also like, and I think you mentioned this in another video way back, getting them and bringing them back to the spot that I called them if they don't listen. Then I have the whole X distance to let them feel the energy in my arm as you call it. Sometimes it's too far, then I figure after 20 meters my point has been made. That's big too.
I literally just used this method and came back to comment. My dog was in the back yard, and he didnt want to come. So I told myself, today is the day that i try this (it was pooring rain outside too). The first two time i went to get him took me ~15min each. after i caught him i grabbed his collar not yanking him just a grab. then i released him. I didn't have treats. So the third time he decided he is not going to come. So I chased (no running) him in the back yard for more than 30 min. My dog is a bordoodle, so very high energy. He was sprinting the whole time and hiding behind bushes(which is the most tricky part) .Again inside i was pissed, but i told myself this is one big counter conditioning because there was once we were like this but I punished him hard after i caught him. Finally I caught him. Again i didnt yank him or drag him. I brought him inside, give him a piece of BBQ pork. Then I released him again. 100% recall in the backyard after that. I then took him to this crate, he didnt want to go in when I said in or come. Then i go get him in the house. Then I put him in his crate for a minute or two and then released him. I then took him again to the back yard, no running away from me at all. And then crate again, but had to go get him one more time in the house. The next time, he went from the yard straight to his crate willingly I gave him another piece of BBQ. Just need patience and do it to the point!
To funny, your Nala does what my Ziva does. My first male dog, Benjamin, came every time like your Prince. I really think female dogs blow you off twice as much as male dogs. I like this method though, it's working with Ziva except when she's in a holier-than-thou mood. 😅
This video should be the most recommended video and should have millions of views. I used this method with my 1.5-year-old Pitt mix and she now listens to me at the dog park, even when she is super stimulated. The sad thing is all humans think I'm a maniac when I go get her because sadly nobody there does this awesome method!! But I don't care what people think of me. What could give me more confidence than knowing that my dog will listen to me? Thank you, Joel!
@@brianlocal3 I started holding my dog's collar with chillingly cold and serious energy (like Joel does), looking at her straight in the eyes and telling her very quietly "You'd better behave", as a new "wild" dog comes into the park, so she has been behaving, and I haven't had to go get her much at all anymore. A couple of times she got a little wild, she gave up and listened to me much more quickly. I'm also picky about which dog she plays with. If a young dog with super playful energy comes in, I just leave. I have a Pitt mix and I know what I signed up for. She is never vicious, but her play style is rough. Good luck with your pup! :D
I've been using this method, on a Miniature Schnauzer, since you either showed, or described it, in one of your really early videos "never let a dog blow you off" and, while we're still working on it... and will for a while because she's a hard headed ❤️ terrier, it was one of the best things I've learned regarding their training. Thank you!
I remember that video ^^
One of the coolest things Prince did after Joel recalled him was get up on his hind legs and think about jumping on Joel, but Prince stopped in mid-air and turned the other way. Prince has been walked into one too many times and has no interest in it happening again.
I noticed that, good dog, great training.
Yip, noticed that too. I don't think he's been walked into too many times though, he's been well trained by Joel & he is such a good boy.♥️
@@alisonmeldrum8003
That’s what he means by “walked into”. Joel “walks into” the dog or gently “knees” the dog to teach him jumping on people is unacceptable. Either way, I love Joel and his methods. He’s not on the softest end of the spectrum where trainers say corrections are bad (which is ridiculous). But he’s also not on the harshest end either. He tailors the intensity and method depending on the dog, but he’s consistent enough where you can learn to do the same thing with your dogs.
I’m so glad and relieved to see that a “sit” thrown in this method is allowed, I sometimes ask my dog to sit so I can finally grab him and always thought I’m cheating in a way... Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!!
😂 There is no cheating because there isn't a set of rules to follow regarding behaviour, except maybe being relatively calm and assertive and have clear communication.
But each dog might react differently also and you got be prepared to change methods.
I'm impressed with your honest explanations real life with dogs. I have a question pls what is this talk of telling your dog=me services dog to potty on command ? I know Thier timing but anyplace you tell them explain pls if that is reality. Tam in Tex
@@TAMINTEX I can tell you that having your dog learn to go on command is possible. I've had several dogs over 21 years and all of them were taught to go on command.
hum it's cheating to get my dig to climb up my wheelchair so I can easy clip his harness or collar
Yeah I also figured it's way more realistic than what last was going on when I went to a dog trainer in a group class. My dog is great with little agility like challenges and tricks. But if he is on a walk he is all about sniffing and staying as far behind to do so as possible.

I told her I know my dog and he will simply get distracted and forget I even gave a command. I had to try and it didn't take lomg for him when he realized we stood still that he can take the opportunity to sniff around and ignore me 😂
So she just decided that I should skip that excercice while everyone else did it 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for nothing! Could have done that on my own lol
This is so true man. I can’t recall my dog at the dog park. This is because I learned recall with positive reinforcement and nothing I have competes with dog play. Very well said, and I appreciate you showing the process
Did it work?
Definitely going to try these recall videos. Thank you.
Interesting. I have herding collies with expansive pastures. I teach them recall by randomly calling their name while on a walk to come to me. When they do, I put them in a sit for 5-10 seconds. Then, I profusely praise them and send them away. It is very reliable until...rabbits. Once my collies are in hot pursuit of a wild rabbit in a huge pasture, there is nothing that can persuade their adrenaline bathed brains to hear me. They even let out this high pitched yell as they sprint to catch it. They are worse than Black Friday shoppers racing through a store to snag a 50% off TV.
That high level of drive is really hard to control. I would use an E-collar, but maybe you can make the go get method if you have a smaller place where your dog is reachable. Maybe you can throw a ball and recall the dog in the middle of his sprint towards it to make he stop in the middle of simulated prey drive hunt. That's a start.
@@EdgarFroes what about a whistle? That might get them off guard for a moment to get their attention
I have Aussies that have the same problem. Fabulous dogs with a great work ethic but they sure do love their rabbits!
Use the go get method. :)
@@Christopher-vf6kx, do you think they'll remember why I walked 5 minutes across 30 acres to put them in a sit/stay?
Swear I like you more and more with every passing video
I always tell to puppy ovners that recall can save theyr dogs life! And I also did the go get method to my friend boxer who thought it was a game, except we were in the forest, it took me 5 mins and then she realised that ohh shit that crazy lady does not play with me, so now if anyone calls her, she is immediately there ! Sooo happy to learn that method from You !!!
Amazing, we used this method on our 9 month collie. Did it 10 times max and the impact was incredible. The most effective training session we have ever had and with permanent, lasting results. Hit the nail on the head, thank you!
How did it last? How’s your pup on recall currently?
Man I really like your backyard set up it’s like a dog sanctuary lol
I've tried the method and it works. We're still not at 100 percent but our recall has improved so much it's incredible.
This also adds a level of safety that I wish was mentioned. It could literally save their life in a dangerous situation that your dog might be entirely unaware of.
Thank you for your great content. I was a trainer years ago, stepped away for a few years and am now back at it for about 6 months now. Where I work we use a style that branched off from Cesar and his work a decade ago (I dont know if you also are using his methods or just using knowledge from years of experience, or both). Your videos have been a great source of comparison and learning so that I can see a different perspective on similar concepts. Implementing your tips and tricks have made my level of skill double overnight! Trying to explain the ideas to clients is a different challenge. But I admire your bravery for going out on the internet to teach "assertive" training in a world where dogs have been humanized onto such a pedestal and I thank you for that.
Yes, trying to help someone remotely without seeing the owner or the dog is nearly impossible. I direct them to Joel's videos. Seeing him in action does so much more than a million of my words.
Did you quit training dogs because of the owners and their attitude and how they can not change their mind? For me this was the reason to quit horse training...
Back in the day, I quit horse training becuse I trained using/safe wildreness trail horses, but pple wanted show horses and winning blue ribbons.
I lost a dog because she got away from me and was hit by a car. This is LiFE-SAVING. Thank you.
That Prince recall was epic!!!!!!!!!
Love this! I asked this question a few days ago through instagram and this shows how much you care about your followers. I agree 100% with the “treats cannot compete with the dog park”. It’s like bribing your dog with treats which doesn’t work and the dog controls the situation.
I’m gonna train this with my 9,5 months old Golden Retriever, thanks Joel

Oh, he’s on Instagram? I’m going to follow him there too! Thanks.
So why Would you go to a dog park if your dog does not have a reliable recall. In my city the sign outside the park states that your dog must have a reliable recall. The point of a Training a reliable recall is to ensure your dog’s safety In any environment including off leash. This training would obviously be useless unless in a small contained area.
@@marylang4540 To train a reliable recall in distraction.
@@Flippokid A better plan would be to use a long line outside of a dog park or a place with heavy dog traffic As an intermediate step. Not that there isn’t endless entertainment value in watching someone do the go get method in a dog park.
#1 get rid of the game, the dog pays attention.
#2 train the behavior you want.
Excellent video
Now that our dog responds reliably to "Come!" from both of us, our options for off-leash hiking have expanded. We spread out and keep him busy running back and forth.
He's a young GSD and not quite distraction-proofed yet. Thanks to you, we're making great progress.
It worked...It worked!!!!!!!!!! It's the 'pop' of the voice, sit, hold the collar..and I wait until she calms down......I was amazed!!!!!!!!!!! She did exactly everything that this dog did too!!! Reason I love your channel because its real time. its hard to watch other videos and the dog isn't like what is being taught....Phenomenal..Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Joel, I love the realistic presentations of your videos. You truly demonstrate the real actions of a dog with methods and techniques to correct inappropriate behaviors. Keep up the good work.
I LOVED this video. Especially because I have a Shepard mix . He did this exact “game play” this morning, only I caved, laughed & could not get (obviously)him. I have a fenced backyard and now I know how to do it!! Thank you
How did this work for you? Curious if the go get method was successful for you. Thanks
Grateful that I found your channel about a year ago Joel
your methods are life changing
I hope I can visit you one day in Cali
greetings from Germany
Hey Nurettin, I'm also in Germany! Agree, I'd love to visit with Joel!
Just found this channel. Can't wait to implament what you are teaching. Also love how straight forward you are and your approach. No gimmicks and serioues about what you do. Thank you for the much needed info👑
I appreciate all the hands on training you demonstrate. I’m learning a lot and my dog is benefitting. Thank you!
I love this vid every time I watch it! Patience and consistency. And also knowledge of what one does. Applause
Literally the best dog training channel i've come across! Huge shoutout to you for giving these tips/lessons for FREE!
JOEL 'keepin it so real...this is what we all appreciate 🙌. THANK YOU
It's a big game-haha yes. Thank you so much. Joel, many of your tips are helping both me and the hounds I am working with. I have 4 really great dogs where the owners put out all the time, love and energy into training them-best walks ever with this dogs.
The other 7 I am busy correcting and training and couldn't have done it successfully without all demonstrations, instruction and no nonsense approach to everything. Thanks again.
Really helpful this video I was having all sorts Re Call problems with my 18 month Thai ridgeback here in 🇬🇧 watched a bunch of your videos since first getting Ghost at 10 week. Your videos that have all helped one way or another me become better to understand my Boy. Both Me & Him are still learning. He’s amazing family dog who he protects with his life. 💪 keep the uploads coming.
Thank you so much for this video! Training my dogs to recall was looking hopeless. This has been working really well. We are continually practicing.
I have a SUPER prey reactive hound mix. He's got treeing walker in him, ysee, and we have two pine trees and a fence, so... When he's caught a scent, there's very little we can do to gain his attention. It's not a game, he's just inconsolably focused on the chase. Snagging his collar on one of the runarounds and forcing his attention is just about the only way to get him in the house. Holding the collar like this is what we were taught to do in obedience classes as a correction (trainer had AKC obedience trial champs and taught from the ground up). Glad to know I'm not missing some big trick to control him!
Edit: He's about five different coonhound/foxhound/prey reactive hounds on the one side, and great pyr on the other. He's 80+ lbs. Used to be very very pull-y on leash. Main owners are over 60 and would break something if they got dragged or fell because he cut across them. We literally couldn't afford to put up with his BS. Training is what saved him from being an owner surrender back to the shelter.
I agree with your methods 💯. Great demonstration and authenticity. Thank you 🐾⭐️
In love with Prince and the training ❤ awesome 👏🏾
The go get method is the best. It really works. I tell people about you and this method all the time. THANK YOU!!!
Great work Joel! Persistence and consistency is key for any command. You always follow through with what you ask of the dog and that’s what works. I think that’s where people go wrong.
That’s where people go wrong with their children!!!
Brilliant no nonsense videos as always. I love this channel… keep it up!! All the way from Liverpool, England 🏴
I do this method all the time and it works wonders! I’m going to keep at it til get I get to 100%! Amazing stuff!!!
Thank you soooo much! It took me 3 days of consistency, all day to get to the sexy stuff. The finish product. Thank you Joel ... my GOAT!
Thank you for making these videos, really appreciated.
Just discovered this channel and in love thank you for demonstrating. 'Come I have treat' or 'come you're on long lead' days are overrr. You have no choice in the matter buddy. You're coming to me now
I LOVE this video. We HAVE been doing the This is a Game "Method." Ughhhh. NO MORE!
I totally agree about the treats Joel. Great method 👍
Excellent, excellent video Joel. I'm always aware of what I'm competing against while doing recall.
Love this!!! I have started doing this with my older dog who has learned to use his size to his advantage when he doesn’t want to listen to go out potty. Now I will continue to get him and make him get up to go do what I asked rather than just allow him to decide not to listen & lay down. I just got an e-collar for my puppy to assist me with the recall as well as other behaviors I am working with him to correct but I still will use the go get method as he is being conditioned on the collar! Love your videos they give so much great information!!!
I’ve been trying to get my 7 month old pitbull to come every time. This is the first video I’ve found that shows a method that works. And I really like that you showed this method without treats
Really appreciate that you show us how to do for this really working stuff,thumbs up
Thank you so much for this informative video! ❤
My four month old puppy does not seem very treat motivated and I am glad i came across your videos for learning how to train him.
You've been the one real trainer I have seen that can legitimately help me. Positive reinforcement has not helped me, at all. My dogs in training to be a service dog, and things started put really good, but he's very stubborn. He knows what I'm asking, but it seems like he just thinks he doesn't need to listen to me. It's bizarre, because truth be told, I'm the only person he legitimately listens too, but I see it the most during training, after like 5-10 minutes, he just decides he doesn't want to listen anymore, and basically shuts down. I have no clue what to do anymore, and I'm getting really frustrated
Thanks for all your help for my german shepherd ...he is a mich eadier dog to control..he wslks great and still working on recall...gonba try this method for sure...you are a blessing...better then my trainer..keep doing whatbyour doing your helping do many paw parents❤
there are no games to make family dogs there are only the best ways to create family dogs this process works.... I show my clients this all the time while working with their dogs... great work Joel......
Perfect instructions! My dog does fence chasing back and forth full speed. When I call her I even see her eyes looking at me as she runs past! She even picks up speed. Nasty blow off. Can’t wait to do this method with my dobe.
Another great video, as always, thanks a lot for sharing
I love your videos they have helped me with my german shepherd immensely. He now walks calmly with me. He didnt go nuts in large crowds. So much better and i am using less treats. Thanks foryou
Oh my you’re the best my dog is so stubborn but this is slightly working I am so happy God bless all you do amen ❤
Thanks Joel! This one and the ones for transitioning to off leash are perfect for Jimmy my 6 month old greyhound. I've already worked his recall with food and toys - it's not enough. He needs THIS TOO! 🐕
Excellent video loved it
Very helpful great video! Rtanj uou for showing the true situation in whixh the dog starts running away and how to deal with it. ❤
Thanks Joel,this video is exactly what I needed..I’ll keep you updated soon.
This is so real and raw. Thank you for making me feel okay with an imperfect recall. 3.5 month old Rottweiler owner. Obedient in everything but recall😅
what a relief!!!! My dog trainer said I should be fun so that they want to come back to me,,,,, but I am not that kind of person.... so this video is a massive relief. I will try my best, but this will be big help! Thank you
I love how you knees the dog when she tried to use everybody as a human trampoline!!! Great job!!! 😂❤
I am so late to watching this video because my puppy is taking up all my time. Great video. : )
Thanks. My 10 month old puppy needed me to see this today. We need to solve the game thing.
Thank you! This is my main problem with our dog! He would get out of our back yard and run away from everyone. I told the kids we would just have to run him down and get him. This is much easier if neighbors have fenced in yards so we could corner him. Since we started doing this he seems a little better. I will try your training and see if the next time he gets out or at the dog park he will comply with the come command. Thanks for the video!
Hi Joel. Comment from England here. Thanks for this excellent video. Some videos are just pure gold and this is definately one of them. I like the way you train dogs with a fair but no nonsense approach and without e-collars which I haven't got anything against its just I prefer to train my akita without. It may take me a little longer but the sense of achievement will make it all the more worthwhile. I've always had akitas and gsd's since the early 90's and found the gsd's so easy to train perfect recall to.. whilst the akitas tend to go deaf when being recalled. Your absolutely right when you say never let the dog blow you off. I'd just like to add ... as some owners do not seem to know, dogs are more sensitive than most people realise (certain breeds more than others) and pick up on the slightest changes in our actions and emotions.. so never train yor dog when you are in an emotional state, be it sad or angry, it is counter productive to training and not fair to your dog.
Nice to see a trainer who doesn't always need to stuff a few kilos of treats into a dog to train it as well. I watch alot of your vids mainly because of your dog Prince, it's so obvious he loves you and their is a very special bond between the two of you.
If you are from England what do you think of that TV show “it’s me or the dog? “ With that Victoria person as a trainer. She doesn’t like Cesar Milan however he is way more successful than she is and for many many years
Hi Joel, having watched a lot of videos has shed different light on all sorts of scenarios when training my 3 year old intact male border collie from when he was a puppy. Including the no nonsense go get method and overall training/living life has really helped in having an awesome dog! Big thank you from the Netherlands here!
My dog has a 95% solid recall. 95% as I notice that since half a he starts doing the following when called:
Keep sniffing at a great distance for a few seconds or even longer if the smell is interesting, then mark/pee and only after that he comes bolting toward me in a straight line without further hesitation and sit in front of me as he knows is expected.
The go get method is at this point almost impossible due to the distance and he knows it so he will come running (whenever he is ready). I feel I should not grab him after he runs towards me full of passion to do well.
Most people around me are already impressed with the recall but I feel he needs quite some leadership as he likes to make his own plan and can sometimes get in trouble with off leash dogs with no owner in sight. So I really want to prevent this to become the beginning of him ‘doing his own thing’ for many (safety) reasons I probably don’t have to explain. Also the comment is long enough already ;)
Is there any advice you could give? For now I am trying to make recall more fun and unexpected. Which works in super swift response, but not when smell is involved.
I live in almost outback Queensland Australia on an 80 acres cattle farm. I took my dogs for a free range walk/run across paddocks thinking I had my three Staffies on recall. My little English Staffy caught scent of a Red-Belly Snake laying in the grass in the sun. I lost her and it nearly killed me.
We don’t have dog trainers out here other than one self-acclaimed positive reinforcement trainer. My first thought after cutting that enquiry short was ood luck with reactive Staffies/Anstaffs!
I’ve been following you for a little while Joel as I’ve only recently come across your channel and your videos are on point. My AmStaff was stubborn as hell and it was all down to my slackness that she got that way. Also the fact I deployed 3 times and mum house sat my dogs for me. All training went out the window after the third deployment. I spent my first dinner home pushing my dogs out from around my feet. They’d never done that but mum had been feeding them from the table. The local dog Walker (in city at the time) would just let them drag her around the block.
I’ve since trained my AmStaff on a gentle leader and have done everything in your training video on them. She went from dragging me virtually to being beside my pant seam 😀
I’m lucky she’s not food motivated as it’s made me think to use basic commands as you do and not over complicate training rather than ‘having conversations’ and begging her. We will start recall tomorrow.
We NEED more trainers like you in Australia ❤️
Very interesting method. I tried it on my shepsky today after he counter surfed and stole a carrot, it worked. He was quick to obey the drop it command as well. Will definitely be working on his recall with this. Thanks!
Joel, I'm working on this. Sometimes it's not easy. But this video helps. Thank you.
Started watching your videos a few days ago because I was annoyed with carry treats with me everywhere. I adopted a 1.5 year old not neutered dog with almost zero training other than sit. A week later he walks 90% leash perfect, comes 50% of the time and we are working on leave it and off-leash walking. I’m your biggest fan! Thanks so much!
How is your progress?
Why I have only just find your videos..another good one which I will try,thank you
Joel, we adopted a dog 7 weeks ago and I've been watching your videos. Our Jake no doubt a runner and runs like the wind. He got away from my hubby in area that's unknown to all of us. My.hubby followed on foot and I in the car as I had an Injury that was healing. When I did meet up with them. Got out of the car. Yelled Jake come very firmly. He did come. I didn't even have to use my sound trainer. But I will be practicing your methods.
What is a sound trainer? A clicker?
@@Jalle6673 it can give a sound warning or ultrasonic sound that hurts their ears. They can hear it.but we cant.
Congrats on 130k!
Great method, recall can save a dog's life.
Looking forward to trying this in a few months when my dog is a little older. Thank you for showing how it doesn't work the first time. I've been looking for a trainer that doesn't show a dog that they have been doing multiple sessions with to demonstrate a training method.
Start immediatly, dont wait your dog get older.
Trained a fetch with our now 11mo Irish setter doodle puppy after we got him about 4 mos ago, with a leash and treats and it went pretty ok.
It’s deteriorated over the last few weeks, he won’t come back, runs around like it’s a game.
I’m getting frustrated, hating trying to go back to a leash and treats since we’ve already done this.
After two go-gets yesterday with me keeping my cool, we’ve had better games of fetch than we’ve had in weeks.
This with a combo of “never let them blow you off” is making a huge, fast difference. Fantastic stuff!
Avoiding and weird little growls 😂😂😂 love it 😊
I have a 14 months old male Cane Corso he's a big baby i take him to the park he's a totally different dog he ignores me and won't listen to me for nothing he doesn't run off or away from me he stays to where he has eyes on me but I definitely am fixing to watch this i trained him when I first got him at 7 weeks old and I just stopped after a while now I'm learning so much more and would give anything to go back but without Micheal J Fox and Doc I don't think that's ever going to happen 😂 but enough of me running my yapper time to watch the video kuddos to you my friend!
The reason I don't care if they do it happily, excitedly, is because MAYBE I just called them out of the road before a car could hit them!!! That's why doing it 100% of the time is more important than happily!! Thank you SO SO much for this video!!!
My dog doesnmt have a good recall but I figured he is onto something because "somehow" my dog does actually listen to "stay" pretty reliably. I also think it's because I always used a very assertive voice when I told him to stay, giving the urgency feeling which also helped me stop him from running out to the road before! Like he'd be running but when I'd yell "STAYY!!!" He'd freeze up where he was and I am so glad! I wouldn't dare to ever let him off leash if it wasn't for this command.
But I am so excited to try this method to finally get a reliable recall!
lmao this was me today! it really does get you to the point where you just throw your hands up and say fck it put persistence is key thank you Beck!
I'm going to start practicing this method today. Our Bailey moves like the speed of light when she sees a rabbit. Not sure she'd hear me but we will work on it :) We have 2 acres and no fence so it's important to have her come to us when called. Thank you!
Teach a 'stop'. This gentleman knows how, im sure, but a 'stop' can save their lives.
I appreciate that you adress no-treats. I have been working with my dogs without treats for 3 years and started using treats recently. They are helpful with applying medicine and toe nail clipping. I like to use retrieves as positive reinforcement. That works great with my cattle dog. I started using treats when leash training my husky so that he looks at me instead of looking at everything else.
Treats are good for shaping a behavior and for creating positive associations with something (such as nail trimming). But if a dog knows what they need to do and decide to disobey, that is when they aren't as useful.
Many years ago I bought an older horse who's past owner only worked her hard when she was caught = she was extremely hard to catch. What I did was, keep her in a smaller corral (less than an acre) and took the time to "walk her down". Took me most of an afternoon. Kept her moving. Eventually catching her, then petting, treat, etc. Then letting her go for the rest of that day. It took only three days of this treatment, and she was no longer walking away from me. 1/2 Mogan, one of the smarter, and hardest headed breeds of horse. Had forgotten about doing this so long ago, until I watched this video.
My dog was 90% awesome. 10% distracted.
I started the "go get method" and she's about 97% now. That's been about 3 days now.
This is one of the least fun things I've had to do with the dog, but I feel it's the most important.
Thanks for sharing this, there's no way I would have tried ot on my own. Stop and pop, as welll as threshold management also worked 💯.
Only had to do that for a couple days, now it's all chill when we walk.
I love my dog, that makes it hard to enforce structered discipline. But after the behavior is corrected its all fun times.
So worth it.
Thank you.
Wondering if you’ve seen “Dog’s That” with Susan Garrett? I signed up for it but there are so many crate games I can’t keep up.
Your basic concept is good.
I don't ever let my dog blow away from me after a recall until I release her.
Also when your giving commands close to the dog your very loud.
The quieter the better.
You'll come across as more confident and in control. Loud commands are ultimately because your worried the dog will not perform the behavior. The dog will listen better to a quieter tone as well vs be annoyed by unpleasant harsh commands.
In the beginning of September, i rescued a pit from being euthanized due to “behavioral concerns” and lack of space at my city’s only open intake animal shelter. She went from being a total uncontrollable nut who didn’t even know her name, especially when it came time to come inside, making “come” a game… always at the wrong time making me late for work, school, etc. and although it was frustrating, i knew it was going to take a bit of patience and training for her to become the princess she has the potential to be. After applying this technique, although it did take a bit longer with me as an inexperienced pitbull owner/trainer, her recall has improved drastically! So much so, that if i’m on the other side of the house watching one of Beckman’s videos, when he says “come” she comes running to my side. She’s so smart and has come so far, im so proud of her!!! Thank you Mr. Beckman for providing dog owners around the world with a technique that actually works.
OMG, Thank you. I have a 2 yr.old and an 1 1/2 yr old both boxer's girls and need them to come when call. I will be working more now with them . Don't get me wrong, they come if i say who wants a good girl ( Treat). We have one acre fenced in backyard and live on 71 acre's, but want them to come right a way when I call. Thank you for sharing your video with us. All of my other dogs and boxer's came right away, these two are a little stubborn at times or my husband say, puppies still. Nope not how I see it, big girls that need to listen now.
Great video! Thanks
Really good 👌👌💖😊
Hi Joel, I admire your techniques and I believe your recall method is very effective. However, there is another aspect of recall which you might have overlooked and that is the work-dog. Dogs that have been bred to work, wether it is hunting, retrieving or herding, get a certain type of reinforcement from completing/doing this job, that exceeds the reinforcements dogs get from dog play and interesting smells in the forest. I have a Border collie that I taught to play fetch at a young age (So retrieving instead of her herding heritage!). She is so focused and interested in the game, that the reinforcement of me throwing the ball and her retrieving it is so good, that she does it in EVERY situation. Ofcourse this took some time, but the perfect recall, literally 100%, was achieved at around 7 months of age. I do believe combining your go get method with something like this would be golden, but I thought it was worth a mention! Thank you for your awesome content.
Treats do work great for this though. But only if they make the decision to come on the first call, and straight back. I also use them to "trade" their freedom for a cookie, so that they don't feel punished for coming. It's not completely necessary, but it doesn't hurt either. I also do a lot of recalls in the dog park where I let them go again right after, so they don't start assuming that they're being leashed when I call them.
I also like, and I think you mentioned this in another video way back, getting them and bringing them back to the spot that I called them if they don't listen. Then I have the whole X distance to let them feel the energy in my arm as you call it. Sometimes it's too far, then I figure after 20 meters my point has been made. That's big too.
Thanks Joel! I do with you talked more about the hand gesture though. Actually, a video explaining different hand gestures would be great!
Wow super I Love Your Chanel greetings from Poland.
I have got Dogo Argentino is quite stubborn😉
Love this 💚💙♥️
I have done this method and it's work with my boxer. BUT it's working more and more.
Thanks for this and thank you for saying if they're not happy for that minute who cares!
"You're not watching this channel because treats work" 🤣🤣🤣 You're not kidding brother
I literally just used this method and came back to comment. My dog was in the back yard, and he didnt want to come. So I told myself, today is the day that i try this (it was pooring rain outside too). The first two time i went to get him took me ~15min each. after i caught him i grabbed his collar not yanking him just a grab. then i released him. I didn't have treats. So the third time he decided he is not going to come. So I chased (no running) him in the back yard for more than 30 min. My dog is a bordoodle, so very high energy. He was sprinting the whole time and hiding behind bushes(which is the most tricky part) .Again inside i was pissed, but i told myself this is one big counter conditioning because there was once we were like this but I punished him hard after i caught him. Finally I caught him. Again i didnt yank him or drag him. I brought him inside, give him a piece of BBQ pork. Then I released him again. 100% recall in the backyard after that. I then took him to this crate, he didnt want to go in when I said in or come. Then i go get him in the house. Then I put him in his crate for a minute or two and then released him. I then took him again to the back yard, no running away from me at all. And then crate again, but had to go get him one more time in the house. The next time, he went from the yard straight to his crate willingly I gave him another piece of BBQ. Just need patience and do it to the point!
To funny, your Nala does what my Ziva does. My first male dog, Benjamin, came every time like your Prince. I really think female dogs blow you off twice as much as male dogs.
I like this method though, it's working with Ziva except when she's in a holier-than-thou mood. 😅
This video should be the most recommended video and should have millions of views. I used this method with my 1.5-year-old Pitt mix and she now listens to me at the dog park, even when she is super stimulated. The sad thing is all humans think I'm a maniac when I go get her because sadly nobody there does this awesome method!! But I don't care what people think of me. What could give me more confidence than knowing that my dog will listen to me? Thank you, Joel!
Do you still need to go get or has your pup fully committed to 100% recall?
@@brianlocal3 I started holding my dog's collar with chillingly cold and serious energy (like Joel does), looking at her straight in the eyes and telling her very quietly "You'd better behave", as a new "wild" dog comes into the park, so she has been behaving, and I haven't had to go get her much at all anymore. A couple of times she got a little wild, she gave up and listened to me much more quickly. I'm also picky about which dog she plays with. If a young dog with super playful energy comes in, I just leave. I have a Pitt mix and I know what I signed up for. She is never vicious, but her play style is rough. Good luck with your pup! :D
@@MikiShinobue thank you for the detailed reply. This is great to hear
@@brianlocal3 You are very welcome!
