Shaming of these owners will not be tolerated and your comment will be deleted. I told them everything they need to be told. You can think you’d know what to do with a dog like this but you most likely don’t. “People in glass houses…”
Love that you won’t tolerate shaming. I never think to just shame the owners automatically because I have a dog who has had issues. I have been judged and my dog has been judged. It sucks lol most dog owners are not experts in dog behavior so reaching out to a trainer to help is the best thing to do. Really liked this video and topic.
And they were completely on board, they're just not used to delivering that much needed discipline. Positive training is rife and touted everywhere, and there are plenty of folk who are too nice and find it hard to channel the "I'm over it" energy. Hell, that describes me. Have you had any owners that were proper bad and uncaring folk? Haven't seen any like that in these videos.
unfortunately, dogs get exterminated for being dogs. his attitude is his greatest threat. thanos is right...whether or not this dog lives depends on his maturity or a coinflip@@ToadrixAce
I work in a shelter and I cannot tell you how many people just give up as soon as their dog becomes slightly 'problematic'. Owners usually don't know how to handle the problem, and it is such a relief to see them realize this and get help instead of getting rid of their pup.
This is why I belive in it always being the owners fault, a well trained dog will not have problems with behaviour unless it's genetic but 98% of the time it's not genetic 😂
@theluxfox even if genetic it can be managed. One of my dogs has always had a screw loose even as a puppy. She was very aggressive towards cats at a young age too. She has anxiety with loud noises again from the time she was a pup. I started doing research on how to help her because I could tell from the look in her eyes she wasn't like other dogs. Through situational management and some calming chews she's a lot better.
@spykethespider5070 Ok? I never said that you wouldn't be able to control the dog? Like just because there is a mental/genetic problem doesn't mean that dog will never be a good/well behaved dog 😅 My point was that behavioural problems stem from the owner in most sinarious, and I thank you for protecting your dog and dealing with those issues instead of dumping the dog like so man horrible people do
This is one of those cases where even a seasoned owner is bound to have problems controlling this dog. I would even go so far as to suggest the average trainer will have a struggle with him. The last correction he got shows how stern you need to be just to make an impression to him .
Yeah, the dog isn't clueless, but it refuses to get a message. Even with average dogs your average owner often misunderstands how to see if a dog is actually taking in communication. With this guy it's like talking to a wall. You need to hold up a chisel. After all, he isn't a wall, just needs to learn to be a dog.
I really like this one because it's ugly but it needs to be shown. The more extreme the behavior the more extreme the lesson needs to be! Thanks as always Joel.
My brother adopted a mutt from a shelter who was like this. We knew nothing of her prior life, but she had lots of issues with being controlling and the center of the universe. She'd growl when you try to push her a bit to make room to sit down on the couch/bed, she'd pull on leashes and bark at any living creature that passed her. She was one of those dogs that if she spotted someone while she was in the backyard, she'd viciously bark at them until they were out of sight. Our dad thought it was so cute and hilarious, which made it so much harder to train her. Parents ended up moving away and taking that dog with them since they were so fond of her, but none of her problems were ever resolved because no one but me would bother reprimanding her. Bit of a long winded story there, but it's in agreement of extreme behavior needing extreme lessons. No reprimanding I did to that dog ever stuck, no behavior ever changed. She's probably outside barking at joggers as we speak.
@@eon6274sometimes prior life doesn't have anything to do with how the dog acts. mutts are prone to genetic brain problems. they usually have aggression or neuroticism problems.
@@hypergamousand even the prior life had something to do with behavioral issues, it’s just not the point. No time for looking for excuses. Behavioral issues need to be corrected and what is more important, CAN be corrected. If you aren’t super experienced with difficult dogs find a good trainer and he will coach you (and not so much the dog).
I always appreciate all owners who approve the video to be made.. it means the owners are allowing others to learn from there challenges.. Thank you to these owners. Thank you to Joel.. I learn a lot from this video and Joel's methods has 100 percent helped me with my dog
Gotta out bully the bully sometimes. I had two I clipped males one Dane/ one English mastiff and when they occasionally went at each other I was the only one whose bellow of KNOCKITOFFFFFFF!!!!!! Echoed off the closely knitted neighbor mountain morning airwaves lol. I’m a woman but you woulda thought a man was commanding marching Spartans. Was the only thing that was stopping them mid fight however. In that household EVERYTHING was mine. Everything. Right down to the sweeping pile on the floor. Mine. With those two 185/220 lb dogs you HAVE to control everything. Im currently going through this with my own dobie pup. It’s been some years and I’m rusty but it comes back quick. Zero disrespect will be tolerated.
I have a German Shepherd female who at a VERY young age was stubborn and showed some dominant traits. Started with her very young. She's now 4 years old and 87 pounds. Extremely protective of me...IF I give a command. I own all her toys, her food and water dishes, her bed, everything. She is now an amazing dog, but I work with her every day. You never stop training. Train every single day, consistently.
Hope the Doodle gets over his "my way or the highway" attitude soon. Kudos to the owners for recognizing that they have a huge problem and coming to you for help. Oh, and please let Prince know that he is the Best Boy and give him even more of that extra love -- he sure has earned it after dealing with that bully.
OMG. This is my dog. I've struggled to figure out what is happening in his head and, although definitely on a lesser scale, THIS IS MY LITTLE PUNK DOG. I was so relieved when you said "What makes a dog like this?" "A dog is born like this." THANK YOU FOR THAT. I've had dogs my whole life and this little 13-lb. Coton de Tulear is a special sort of challenge.
Doodles are just mixed at random and theres no way to predict what they'll be like, they can be a mental mess So can some breeds that aren't bred well (by bred well i mean dogs whos parents were health tested and mentally sound, i see pedigree purebred dogs that are a mess too, but doodles are just all over the place)
This dog has the same energy as a smart mouth who's never gotten a smart in the mouth for running their mouth. I feel for the owners on this case, which is quite rare for me. Just really shows how much learning "no" is so undervalued yet oh so needed especially in working breeds like this sod. Kudos to Prince and you both for reading each other's vibes and working as one, always a delight to see!🏆
How don't people tell dogs no? They just don't know what to do? This dog is an extreme example though, good on the owners for getting help. The dogs face at the end is hilarious he doesn't know what to do!
@@Llkolii People can certainly yell "no!" as much as they like but if they're unwittingly rewarding the behaviour (baby-talk, cuddles, treats to distract etc) then they're not really saying what "no!" is actually supposed to mean, instead it becomes a bargaining chip or downright encouragement. Like what we see with these people in the video, they never taught the dog to hold back, they let him run the show by not establishing who was the boss of the house, now the dog is bossing about because the people let it. I too am glad the people got the help they needed very much, but I'm also sad a lack of leadership on their part was even a thing which in turn led to this chaos.
Too many dog owners are too scared/fearful/enamored with their dogs and allow them to bite/growl/chase people...totally ridiculous. So glad the owners of this dog got help....society thanks you:)
Nowadays, I see people do it with their kids too… they wanna be friends and don’t wanna challenge them are scared if they fight back and don’t realize they’re the ones that should be in control not the kids
Joel is gonna get undeserved shit for this vid! I've never seen Joel love on Prince like that...they both have hard jobs. Nothing but love for you guys.
By the 8% snowflaky, unrealistic, wimpy, "hurt my feeelliiiiingsss 😭" - people. I know they throw tantrums, but lets just ignore em haha. (No offence to you, they just make me mad . Just had to say it 😄)
I totally agree. I LOVE how forebearing Prince is with being pushed around. Then particulaly @7:50 mark, where IMMEDIATELY after Joel stopped reassuring Prince with the love, the Doodle walks AFTER Prince but gives a quick glance UP at Joel, like "is HE gonna stop me?", before he proceeds to corral Prince into the corner. Like reminding Prince AFTER all the love, "Don't forget, I am the boss !" I am so in love with PRINCE and how HE handles the crap from other dogs. PRINCE deserves ALL the love he gets from Dad, aka, Joel I learn SOOOOoooo much from these videos
I especially noticed that after every correction by anyone, including Joel, the moment the person left, the dog instantly took a couple of steps forward again. This dog thinks he can do no wrong. At the end he was a little scared of Joel, but I don't think he had connected the dots yet. Good to hear that he's getting better.
I learned so much from this! I met a dog the same way but couldn’t put my finger on what it was. It felt like a bossy thing that triggered prey drive that triggered aggression, but “controlling” is the best way to describe it. Needing to lose a bunch of times is TOTALLY the answer. Loved seeing dad at the end know when to push away! Fantastic video as always!
Me too! i used to act the same exact way, always running up on strangers and burying my nose deep in their ass. if they said something or tried to do it to me, I would just snap and attack them. I realized after watching that what i really needed was to be dominated, many times over the course of years. Now I'm a total little submissive freak.
Dogs are herders, hunters and sled drivers. There’s a militant discipline programmed into their DNA. Dogs were permitted to fight each other up until the past few centuries. Working dogs need play and dogs with high leadership drive need an outlet for it. Otherwise it’s bossy.
"They CAN be the center of your world, they CAN'T think it" And that is SO hard for so many people and its understandable. But if you really care about your dog, you need to.
This is the first time I 100% recognize my dogs’ problems in one of the dogs in your videos. This is the exact same issues we’re having with our 2 girls. If only you were in Europe 😅
@@NaturallyNavi Be cautious, this person’s into questionable reality tv videos. Maybe look up balanced dog trainers or find out about inviting Joel to Europe. You could find out what the minimum number of attendees would to invite him there, and find out if there are others in your area. Or Joel may already be aware and be willing to come at some point. There is also Tom Davis at the Upstate Canine Academy who does tours, at times.
Hi Belgium here:) you can totally do this yourself! It’s only about never tolerating any controlling behaviour, but at the same time keeping your emotions in check:) if you get angry, you lose😛 if you notice the dog staring at you, watching you a little too much, using his body to block or hinder where you’re going, following you around all the time. Don’t accept it, also challenge it. If he’s staring, stare back till he either licks his lips or breaks eye contact, if he blocks you, make a habit of choosing a path and walking right through him, ALWAYS, he’ll get it. Just make it a mindset that he has won his last battle, from now own you win every challenge, even if you have to stare for days in a row😛 you win! And keep your emotions under control, don’t get angry with him, they see anger, fear, frustration as weak emotions so they ‘win’ when you lose balance
@@kims2r Most people can’t because they have neither the timing nor the experience reading non-verbal cues. Just because you may be able to doesn’t mean everyone else can. It leads to people making dangerous mistakes. Witnessed it.
This is a really good example of how Doodles can look sweet but bully their owners and everyone else. Great job modeling how to deal with this difficult problem. Kudos to the owners for coming to you! I'm sure you gave the philosophy/boss peptalk!! I know it helped me! Yay for Prince so tolerant and then taking control when he needed to. That last encounter the Doodle looked away from Prince first. I adored watching Joel love on Prince and how Prince soaked it up❤❤❤
Yup, people think these living 'teddy bears' can't have a mean bone in their body and tbh plenty don't but every dog can have a mean streak it's just sad we tend to overlook that because 'cute and fwuffy', take a look at little terriers for further proof.
@@Thylax_ THIS! I have a doodle but was no fool into believing this puppy was going to be some living toy, she's half poodle and half hunting dog (King Charles Cavalier) so she turned out wonderful now at a year old simply because we remembered she needs an action and scenting based job.
@@rustyhowe3907 Glad to hear you are taking care into getting proper stimulation for your dog! I wish more people would do so these days. However. Uhm. You do realise that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are not hunting dogs? Yes they are Spaniels however they have been bred as companion dogs for ages.
Thanks for drawing attention to the fact that sometimes the breeds that are thought of well by society can also have huge problems and also need to be trained. And for all those who think you can just use treats to fix this, you have no idea how dogs, people, or any social animal works. There needs to be negative feedback sometimes, or they will never change their behaviour. You are the one who takes care of and is responsible for the dog. Therefore, you need to be the one in charge.
Society needs to stop believing the idea that only certain breeds are capable of aggression and that the non-threatening looking breeds are always friendly. Any dog of any breed is capable of having behavioral issues. It is not a breed specific problem.
The owners are amazing. If this dog wasn't so target-focused they would have totally gotten this under control. Sometimes you need a bit of outside help! Best of luck to them.
Definitely a dog that a professional like you is needed. I don't think I would be confident handling a dog like that on my own. Great job teaching him some lessons.
A lot of people don't know that poodles are not only prey driven, but they were actually used as protection dogs and for hunting. They were the original hunting dog, but. their problem was that they would not only go after the. Animal that was shot but they were then shred and eat it. They then became dogs use by the royal family not only because of their looks but also because they were protection dogs.
Not a pure poodle, you can tell by the nose (pure genetics are black nose only) and the tail (hair too straight). This is a mutt doodle, which explains the poor temperment. Poodles have a viscious side for certain, but this is due to bad breeding and bad genetics. I would guess this is an F1bb doodle based on the torso and factors mentioned earlier.
@Luckingsworth I realize that he was not a pure poodle but a doodle. However, I would definitely believe that he's at least 60-70% poodle which is why I made that comment. My thought was that he was very being very territorial over his family, especially the wife.
As far as I know poodles are not good guard dogs, but they can be excellent watchdogs because they are generally not aggressive enough and haven't enough body mass and biting power. They were pred to apport ducks like retrievers. If you've read something different could you please post your source I'm interested in their history.
This dog is half Australian shepherd.. you can tell by the chocolate Merle coat. Australian shepherd are herding working dogs that will be reactive and nippy if they don’t have a job. This bossy behaviour is very much Aussie behaviour. Poodles are more calm with an off switch. I really dislike doodle breeders for tainting our amazing breed.
The audio balance between original and voice over was on point in this video. Another great story! I didn't realize how parasocially protective of Prince I was until now lol SUPER helpful to see the exact *moment* the energy shifted in the poodle while Joel was in the chair, and how well articulated the control aspect was. Keep it up, team!
That’s a doodle. Poodles have way more context awareness than that. This looks like an Australian shepherd/poodle mix which would explain the behaviour.. herding dogs are controlling and reactive and aussies can be bully’s. These doodles are tainting the standard poodle. I’m very tired of doodles tainting the standard poodle name.
I am very impressed by Prince in this video. He literally said "Nono, I really don't want to be in your space." and tolerated a loooot (which I didn't expect). He has his own reasons for it, we don't know for sure. But when the dog pushed Prince way way wayyy to far, he stood up for himself and finally made this dog move away. The way you explained the dogs behavior and how it (obviously) is not okay and dangerous - easy to understand and straight forward. Thank you for the great videos!
This is a fantastic video, that shows not only behavioural problems but also a 'personality' problem, that is harder to change. It's a good example of how methods of training, have to be tailored made, to tackle the issues involved. I just love watching Beckman's videos. 😀
@@johnanon658 I have a 12 year old Border Collie who is much like this dog, but more aggressive. I haven't given up on her yet, and I've had her since a puppy. While some of her behaviour can be attributed to her herding instinct, most of it can't. Other BCs I have had never behaved like this one. If you have a badly behaved child, do you just get rid of it? Or do you make every attempt to address the problem? A dog is NOT a throw away object, it is a living, breathing animal, just as humans are.
The dog's attitude is so 'flippant' when he's being reprimanded! It's like saying "whatever" to the high school principal when s/he is talking to you in the office after you were caught doing something bad. This is a very difficult dog. I might've taught the owners how to side-submit him, but I'm not certain that would've been an answer in this case. It appears that this individual dog REALLY doesn't care what anyone thinks. No respect whatsoever. Bully describes him perfectly. Even as a balanced dog trainer, I admit I wouldn't really have known what to do before this video. I learn every day... And especially when I watch Mr. Beckman's videos! Thank you, Sir!
This video is sooo helpful. My dog WANTS to get into fights, and now I can label the reason. She is controlling, and will attack fast to be bossy. This clarifies what is going on in her head. Joel, thank you for the dominance series. If you ever get bored, Please write the "dominant" dog hand guide. Thank you x1000.
This is the type of dog behavior that makes the positive reinforcement crowd lose their minds. NO amount of sweetness and cajoling can fix this. No amount of "winning" will change the mind like a few "loses" will. I was rooting for Prince to jump his ass way sooner than he did. Sweet, patient Prince.
@@rosieleat6868yeah, positive reinforcement is actually a lot of patience and good timing. Not to mention, positive reinforcement and corrections can happen in the same method of training a dog. You praise what's good behavior, you redirect bad behavior, you correct/meet aggressive behavior. Body blocking and physical control are used in, "positive reinforcement," training curriculums.
Some dogs are just like this. They're tough, he took some of the hardest work I've seen Prince dish out, and he was ready to have more. Not an easy dog!
Great video. The end says so much too. He attacks you when you suddenly stand up, so you pin him in the corner in response. Seems fair. But then moments later you wheel around the desk and... take a look at Mr. Tuff Guy run into huddle mode between mommy and daddy to get away from the mean guy. 😂 The worst kind of bully... In the yard when she was loving on Prince you could finally see that fella's gears turning up in his curly-haired head. That dog matured about 5 years in 5 minutes. 😂 Congratulations to these owners for seeking you out and trusting you. This dog's behavior has gone unchecked far too long. If they lodged the dog with you for some days, that's great. Not everyone can afford an intervention like this one, but making the video available to everyone is doing a huge service to dog owners. 👍 I genuinely want to see this dog become the sweet and cuddly bear that he desperately wants to be.
I really dont think the lesson or training is in any way extreme in this one. This is cool, calculated and fair. It is what the dog needs. No anger, just tuff love ❤ Please dont shame the owners. This happens to alot of people and these people seem to be really trying..
To me they seem like good and kind-hearted dog owners who got a doggie with advanced attitude problems. I can't believe people shamed them. Please keep uploading these videos. It's so educational.
Not even scared, more respectful of Joel and his boundaries for the behaviours in his own house. “Too big for his boots” alright! 😮 Getting help is such a big step for people, letting Joel put on his site as well, good on the owners.
I had an extremely dominant standard poodle batch. My roommate was a very experienced groomer. She said that she could count on the fingers of one hand the only other dogs she had met who were as controlling as this female. Fortunately we were a family of dog trainers and groomers, who put up with no nonsense. Puppy dog still had an attitude but learned she was low man on the totem pole.
Just returned from our loose leash walk with our Husky and Great Dane. I've learned a lot from you. I totally expect them to reach Wonder Dog status. :) Thank you!
Loved this video! We have a rescue terrier mix breed with this problem. Early on we kept using techniques like this, but not enough because I had never experienced a dog with the type of odd aggression. Calling it controlling makes so much sense. Adding a new dog who is twice his size, putting him in place regularly made a big change too, but it’s still a work in process. I’m glad he said dogs r born this way. I was hesitant for awhile going firm because I felt bad that it was from trauma as a rescue. I got to a point where I didn’t feel bad anymore. No one deserved his asshole treatment of them.
YES. I ECHO EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID. I've been hesitant to go super firm/harsh but after watching this video, I think I finally understand what's happening with my little dog's odd behavior.
I think this might be my new favorite video!! It was almost satisfying to see how the dog was not able to stare at Prince and just not get his way!!! I’m glad these owners found you Joel. And I really hope they will do what it takes to set boundaries, they owe it to their dog imo…
I only wish at the end they'd separated the dog from the owners for one last 'nowhere to hide, must recognize you are in a new situation'. The dog was trying to melt into the owners because it couldn't bully Joel. That's the point where the dog has to realize a third option "Bully Joel, hide in petulant sadness because I can't bully Joel, and oooooh yeah, maybe just take a chill pill".
its quite something that after prince gave him a tanking he turned round and basically stared him right down again like yo is that it, where i would say 95% or more dogs would have turned away or ran having realised the fight was lost. his strikes not dealing any damage and getting a bit of a tanking didn't seem to deter him. i worry this dog does it to the wrong dog... seems the lesson was not learned here. would like to see a progress update on this guy
I seriously love how persistent you are in this video. So few people have the patience or the will to *truly* break a dog's habit! I watch every video! They're awesome :)
I love that stuff😁 I worked with a dog once that just claimed furniture as its own, the owners couldn’t get him to respect boundaries. I just sat down and removed the dog from the couch for 40 minutes straight, with a smile on my face😂 the owners must’ve thought I was a dumbass but once you start to challenge a dog, you need to be the first one to not back down or get frustrated😛 you can feel the dog click when it looks at you funny and stops jumping in the couch and it’s the best feeling, THEN you can give the dog as much affection as you please and grow as a team, no hard feelings☺️
This is definitely one of the best videos yet. My heart went out to Prince when Joel gave him love, this session seemed extraordinary hard on him as he’s usually so much more confident! It paid off and by the end of the video he put this unruly poodle back in its place ❤
Watching Joel rise to the dog's occasion at the end was SO satisfying. I feel like in that moment, we saw him change. I feel like Prince couldn't handle this one and Joel knew it immediately and felt so bad. Prince is just too nice a dog to deal with a dog that feels satisfied by taking the piss.
There is nothing wrong with being very firm with discipline, especially in a case like this. Nothing else will work, and allowing the dog to continue “as is” will get more people hurt & could even result in the dog being put down. So it’s in his best interest to be rehabilitated. He’ll enjoy life more too. Firm discipline shouldn’t be abusive or painful. But you need to show strength and get your point across.
It is interesting that despite being the stronger, more confident one prince kept letting him win. Never seen a doberman tolerating so much bullying. He is a true good boy.
Thanks Joel! Love this channel for so many reasons but especially because it helps people who may not know or understand how to read & understand body language.
That would be difficult to deal with. I've had disrespectful dogs, but without the sneak/sudden attacks. That's dangerous, hope they can figure it out.
I really, really like this one. The owners definitely shouldn't be shamed. Shaming doesn't make people want help, it makes them want to hide and that only creates more issues. They are doing the RIGHT thing by going to Beckman and clearly this is gonna work for the dog in the long run. I'm really excited to see more on this one.
The sad reality is that so many people think that they are going to be able to rationalize with their dogs the same way they think they are supposed to rationalize with infants and toddlers. That they cannot negatively reinforce bad behavior . Dogs need to know their boundaries and people need to know how to assert themselves when they are teaching a dog the boundaries. That is pretty basic but what so many people seem to fail at when trying to train a dog.
I loved this training session! I have a dominant dog who is quite controlling and I never knew how to address this before. She has always had a problem with certain people and dogs where she feels the need to get after them for sudden movements. Now that I understand better what is going on I can take action to stop this behavior. Thank You So Much Joel this is so helpful :)
Exact same here, I don't have a dominant dog, but she's extremely anxious so I think her controlling behaviour comes from the fear that something might happen if something changes so she tries to control everything. Either way, it's an unhealthy behaviour and it's never too late to start correcting it!
I love Beckmans Dog Training. I am learning so much. I watched a lot of dog training videos where the trainer does something with a dog but doesn't explain exactly what they are doing and why. Joel explains what he is doing, how to do it and why. You can tell how in tune he is with dogs by watching how they act and react. He makes it really understandable for anyone. The videos have already helped me train myself, and let's be honest, it's MOSTLY the people, including myself, that need trained so they can properly train their dog. Thank you for making these videos!
I would have never thought this breed of dog was aggressive until our neighbor’s had one as a family dog, and for some unknown reason, it attacked one of their children. The little girls face was a mess and she needed a ton of sutures.
Thank you for making these videos. I had a Belgium malinois with very similar attitude. I had multiple trainers which didn’t think he could be fixed and thankfully I ran into a trainer who raised this breed and she came and showed me exactly what this particular breed needed and how I needed to correct my own mannerisms around him. I have raised labs throughout my lifetime but having a dominant breed required firm leadership which I needed to learn. So thankful for her help and after five years of struggling my malinois and being told I needed to put him down we were able to enjoy 6 wonderful years. Thankful there are trainers like this who help us along the way.
Fascinating. Looking at this dog I would never have imagined that he could win any kind of battle with Prince. Just goes to show that looks can be deceiving and that with dogs, it’s all about the energy you carry. I have never seen a dog so focused on the control of others so this case was really interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I've said it before and ill say it again. Big poodle lookin dogs like this, or labradoodles, I have noticed many times they have a tension and an intensity about them and a bark, that just totally defies how goofy and fluffy they look....its remarkable.
We’ve got a goldendoodle and he’s amazingly chill and friendly with other dogs and people. It just depends. We got him from a good breeder with good lines.
@@iris7484 there’s different lines of dogs. There are working line labrador retrievers and show line golden retrievers. Big difference in energy levels.
@@ThinkingAhead2 true but for that to matter you need a responsible breeder/responsible buyer/known pedigree in the case of rescues (which just doesn't happen.) It just helps to be aware that you run the risk of getting a lot more than you bargained for with hunting breeds.
I love these videos. There’s so much to unpack in a dogs behavior and why they do things, and this guy gets straight to the point. I’ve used techniques like this (without really realizing) and I’ve gotten my parents highly reactive lab to actually listen when she starts going nuts at the front door or in the windows when someone walks by the house. You gotta get to the root of it and read the body language! Also I love Prince he’s such a handsome boy ❤️
This was insightful. I have a GSD who was not this bad, but similar, he did not like my family members making certain movements (reaching into a grocery bag, reaching for things, leaning to pick things up). He would run up to them and bark crazy. Never tried to bite anyone but it was unbearably annoying. I first tried giving him treats while they did the trigger movements. This worked a bit but didn't solve the problem One day I said "I'm OVER IT" and every single time he'd start barking, I'd immediately put him in his room for a time out. After a few days of doing this he completely stopped. Interrupting the behavior really seems to have done the trick. I don't know why he was being a control freak or why those movements upset him so much. I have a suspicion it has to do with his herding instincts but I could be wrong. I saw this video after I had already solved the problem, but it's interesting to see a similar problem and see your input on it Idk why I wrote this long comment but yeah I enjoyed seeing this!
This might be (one of) the best video on this channel, because i believe the behavior this dog is showing happens a lot more and with a great variety of breeds (the protecting, the hearding and the family ones) then people will realize. It could easily be that one out of ten dog owner has or had a dog similar to the one we seen here.
I think Princes mum must be behind the camera when the lady was patting him he kept looking at the person holding the camera in a guilty way 😅 so cute . I love Prince he's so clever and I love how he's included in the intro to 'me and prince are gonna sort these dogs ' . Love it .
I like how real the reactions are. I never once thought they are faked unlike with many other creators, but the camera-person jumping in the beginning too from how 'different' or at least surprising this case is since they originally seemed sweet is cool to see. Also glad to see it as I have a standard poodle and as a puppy he would do some of the controlling stuff to people about movement and sounds and I felt I was being too harsh for age, but was not gonna put up with any of it. At times I'd have to force him on to the ground cause wouldn't stop and it was like his little brain wasn't wired right. He got so much better really quick from the consistency and now his only trigger is sneezing and occasionally coughs and faking them doesn't work to try and specifically train that either. He at least will not bite, but he gets so in your face and is so big now that I worry about him breaking someones nose since face collisions are still fairly common in that situation still. He also fixates with dogs similarly, but luckily it doesn't seem to be the same issue. For now it's mostly consistency with what I have set up, making sure he listens to all commands since he's to smart and will act up with you not enforcing a single thing (which is making living with a roommate hell), and management. Hoping to save up for a board and train for this, weird quirks, potentially e-collar training as I think it will be great for him (he needs very immediate corrections or he doesn't get it) and other issues.
OMG thank you! My dog is exactly like this with other dogs, she tried with people but I nipped it in the bud. However I have no idea how to stop her from doing it with other dogs and I don't want to subject other dogs to her in order to teach her so I make her stay away from them. She has a muzzle but because she's more smell obsessed than other dogs she tends not to act the same way when the muzzle is on, she will try to take it off constantly.
Honestly, I think this is one of your best videos. Certain behaviors are easy to correct, the dog is a narcissist. I found your correction’s absolutely perfect. ❤. I learned something.
I believe doodle mixes are coddled like small dogs cus they look like big fluffy toy then behavior issues come up and becomes really dangerous cus of their size!
There is no such thing as a doodle mix, because a doodle is a mix already. And while that has to do with it, doodles have behavior problems because they are irresponsibly bred mutts. Doodles take everything a poodle is, and degrade their genetics. And they got popular because people actually want a poodle, but have this false image in their head of the fluffy show cut not understanding Poodles are water hunting dogs that have been used in war and are also highly capable at herding, mushing, and so forth. Doodles habe unstable genetics, are usually bred from the lowest stock since high quality poodles are sought by people who actually want poodles, and are only bought by ignorant consumers.
@@Luckingsworththat is absolutely my story. I grew up with labradors and a friend of mine always had a Tibet Terrier (they don't shed) and so I thought a Labradoodle is the best of both worlds. But my boss has one and he told me this was not a good Idee. Labrador and poodle are very similar in behaviour so this might work but his got all the illnesses from both sides. So I looked into the poodle and I'm now a very happy poodle mom. They've got more energy than a labrador but are totally adaptable and he has fun with everything. We are working towards our Mantrail Licence and doing changing dog classes, he loves to do literally everything except staying home alone. So yes to the poodle but be really careful with the doodle. I once saw a husky poodle mix and you don't have to be a genius to know this is likely ending in disaster but sadly one of the most beautiful dogs I ever saw.
@@user-rk6jc7ot3sI have a standard poodle too. He is 18 months old.. amazing with our kids and every adaptable. The standard poodle hate is weird because they are very good natured and stable dogs.
That dog had a bad attitude but it was so insanely cute when he leaned onto his mommy and daddy’s chair😂. As of he wanted their support..Almost like see mommy I have bullied someone in my class but I am still your cute boy 😂😂😂
This is so good and this type of video is not shown enough! My dog is awesome with dogs and people but she gets "jealous" (aka controlling) when I give attention to my roommate's dog. I do tell my dog to go away but not as hard as in this video. I will do more of this level. Thanks again Joel (and Prince!) Do you have a video of dogs not being aggressive but being too vocal with barking at people and/or dogs? I'd love to know your method.
So, had a couple of your videos randomly recommended to me today, and so far pretty glad to have found these. Gives me hope again for trainers and dog owners lol. I'm really glad the owners came to get help, and I'm glad to hear at the end the dog was starting to do better. In an odd way it kinda reminds me of my time in babysitting with kids to some degree, in a public business - not a full time daycare which, I imagine its worse for them, mine was just a room set aside at a martial arts studio where parents could drop off their younger kids so they could watch the ones taking class/take a class themselves. Most of the kids who were dropped off were behaved, but man sometimes... This one reminded me of one time I had a mom leave a pair of kids, young daughter and a boy like....surely no older than 3. Probably 2, he could toddle but wasn't forming words yet. But I remember that feeling I got when the girl - the daughter, mind you, not the mom - warned me that her brother was a biter when he got mad. Many fascinating thoughts on that but that's another tale. The thing was, he very much was, and he got mad over everything. If another kid did something he did not like, he would bite them. Which was often. The reason I think this one comes to mind was because I kind of adopted something my dad told me, back when he had a big German shepherd dog. One of the ways he taught that dog not to bite was to bop it on the nose when it got nippy, I think part of the reason he told me about it was when trying to teach me about what to do if a dog attacked me. I don't remember exactly why, but that's one of the things that's stuck with me, and I ended up kinda using it here, since I wasn't sure what else to do. When the kid made the first bite, I would pick him up and he wouldn't be allowed to play for a little while - which made him really mad and MAN would he scream - and when he'd try to bite me I bopped him. GENTLY, of course, he's two years old and I didn't want to hurt him, just effectively warn him off and make it clear that this behavior was not going to be tolerated. If he calmed down (which was rare...) I would let him down and try again. If he bit again, rinse and repeat. I tried keeping the bop as close to when he did the bite as possible, since that was the behavior i wanted him to recognize as the problem. That was just the best thing I could think of at the time, honestly to this day I'm still not sure what else I really could have done. Fortunately I only had him a few times as the family didn't hang around, but yeah. Just a very long-winded way to say I totally get what you were trying to teach the dog because that's what I was trying to teach to a kid. Both little bullies, one just has better developed jaws and teeth and is a bigger problem to control/teach. Keep up the great work! Also Prince is a gorgeous dog, very good boy
I'm happy to see stuff like this because it helps in my situation, as my lab/pyre mix believes that SHE needs to have control of everything. This helps me heavily. Thank you.
Thanks for addressing this. Kudos to the owners for continuing to work that with their her dog and trying to find answers. I haven’t seen this addressed before but imagine there are people out there that this will help and either the same or similar issues. Not that it matters at this point, but I’m wondering if it is genetic. I have a Doodle and she reacts in a similar way though not aggressive.
Yep, same here. A our born confident doodle just won't tolerate her younger siblings presence sometimes and just "snipes" at her. Luckily the younger sister, although the omega is also confident in that she could really care less and just blows her off but it's still so uncalled for and annoying.
I didn't see this attack comming, even with knowing the problem. When he attacked you in your chair I was surprised. I watched that again and again. Did you see it in his body language? Mine looks exactly the same when he sees something interesting and he would go near it exact the same way. Standing up would result in him going backwards bit until this point I just can't see a difference. Can somebody explain. We met a dog a couple of days ago, he just stood there allegedly calmly until we have been almost past him and then he jumped into the leash and scared me to death. I'm wondering if he showed signs I could have seen. Did the dog in your video show signs, would you have known he was attacking you without meeting him bevor the chair situation?
Super subtle but it was in the nervous whine and glance at the owners. Joel essentially did a human play bow toward this dog and, ignoring the tail wag, his body is stiff with a hard expression.
Yeah I saw it after a few seconds. The dog started getting stiff and focusing intently on Joel. I think one of the problems with this dog is that he's so darn cute looking, it's hard to believe he can have bad thoughts. If he were a Rottie I think it would be a lot more obvious.
@@Luckingsworth Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a bit situational? I imagine if you breed a tempermantally sound Lab with a tempermantally sound Poodle, there's no reason the offspring wouldn’t have stable tempermants as well. Of course, not all breeders do this, but unfortunately that's a problem with most breeds. It's not exclusive to Doodles.
@@Luckingsworthright? We have a standard poodle and he is super stable outside and calm in the home like every well bred standard poodle I’ve met. I’m tired of doodles tainting our breed.
@@blueflare3848no because labs are hyper so when they are mixed with a poodle it expresses itself as neurotic behaviour. My standard poodle has an off switch in the home while many labs are go go go. It’s a bad mix IMo. Poodles are also context aware and labs are oblivious. Both breeds are great on their own.
@@blueflare3848 No, that isnt how genetics work. Any amount of variability reduces stability. You can mix two random colors or red and get a decent loking red 99% of the time, same with blue. But mix any two random shades of red snd bkue and you are going to get drasticallt different results from near black, to light violet, royal purples, just blue, just red, and so on.
This is dog training and behavior control and modification. Great job Joel. That dog is a jerk. Poor breeding. This is what happens when unethical breeders jump on the doodle fan wagon.
I don't think enough people realize how much breeding plays a role in a dog's tempermant. Yes, how they're raised does as well, but if it has a bad tempermant then it's genetically predisposed to behavioral problems, regardless of how it's raised.
@@blueflare3848 you're 100% correct. Ethical breeders breed to better the breed. Unethical breeders do it for for money. All the dogs need is a uterus and a penis. And any doodle cross, Excluding the labradoodle, are NOT breeds. And as an FYI if you look up Wally Conron, who founded the breed, he states how he wished he never did it. AND it takes years to develop a breed. 5 generations of dogs, showing consistency of type, conformation and temperament.
@@rezotydnic Exactly. That's why I scoff when people say that all breeders are bad and that we should never buy from them ever. Good breeders aim to improve the breed they specialize in, like you said. They strive to breed for healthy, tempermantally sound dogs that will live long and happy lives with their familes. It's backyard breeders that are the problem. They just throw two purebred dogs together and try to produce as many puppies as possible. They don't care about the health or tempermant of their dogs. That's how you end up with dogs that are unstable and dangerous.
@@blueflare3848 That's exactly why I hate when people scream "don't shop adopt or you're a bad person". Also the fact that shelter dogs already had bad experiences with humans.
The usual problem of treating dogs like children. They need a pack leader, boundaries, rules as well as affection. While the number of people who buy dogs as if they were puppets to cuddle is growing.
Shaming of these owners will not be tolerated and your comment will be deleted. I told them everything they need to be told. You can think you’d know what to do with a dog like this but you most likely don’t. “People in glass houses…”
I love that you alway protect the owners! No matter what they’re doing the right thing by getting help!
Love that you won’t tolerate shaming. I never think to just shame the owners automatically because I have a dog who has had issues. I have been judged and my dog has been judged. It sucks lol most dog owners are not experts in dog behavior so reaching out to a trainer to help is the best thing to do. Really liked this video and topic.
I'm glad they got help. I lot of owners would have dumped this dog at shelter and get a new dog.
And they were completely on board, they're just not used to delivering that much needed discipline. Positive training is rife and touted everywhere, and there are plenty of folk who are too nice and find it hard to channel the "I'm over it" energy. Hell, that describes me.
Have you had any owners that were proper bad and uncaring folk? Haven't seen any like that in these videos.
Could this dog be dealing with fear issues? Possibly poor or no socialization?
It's not cruel, because if he bites someone in the street, he will be destroyed.
Exactly 💯 it’s discipline
destroyed is a bit much of a word for put down
@@ToadrixAcenah, if a dog attacks my dog imma destroy it. So no, not too much said.😅
@@TheMasterdisaster14 chill thanos
unfortunately, dogs get exterminated for being dogs. his attitude is his greatest threat. thanos is right...whether or not this dog lives depends on his maturity or a coinflip@@ToadrixAce
People think discipline is cruel. That’s why society is crumbling. Beckman needs to be running for office.
Lack of discipline is cruel
Yes!!! Best comment!!!
Honeslty this discipline is so mild I'm suprised it's even working.
People need to learn that discipline is not the same as abuse.
Society is crumbling because we have a model of unlimited growth and that's unsustainable.
Me: “awe fluffy puppy! 🥰😚🤗
Fluffy Puppy: 🤬🔪
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣
😂😂
Right 😂 gaaaaaawd damn
I work in a shelter and I cannot tell you how many people just give up as soon as their dog becomes slightly 'problematic'. Owners usually don't know how to handle the problem, and it is such a relief to see them realize this and get help instead of getting rid of their pup.
I have a crazy friend who thinks it's cruel to "lay that on dogs". Her rescue animals are a pain in the ass as a result of no discipline -
This is why I belive in it always being the owners fault, a well trained dog will not have problems with behaviour unless it's genetic but 98% of the time it's not genetic 😂
@theluxfox even if genetic it can be managed. One of my dogs has always had a screw loose even as a puppy. She was very aggressive towards cats at a young age too. She has anxiety with loud noises again from the time she was a pup. I started doing research on how to help her because I could tell from the look in her eyes she wasn't like other dogs. Through situational management and some calming chews she's a lot better.
@spykethespider5070 Ok?
I never said that you wouldn't be able to control the dog?
Like just because there is a mental/genetic problem doesn't mean that dog will never be a good/well behaved dog 😅
My point was that behavioural problems stem from the owner in most sinarious, and I thank you for protecting your dog and dealing with those issues instead of dumping the dog like so man horrible people do
I agree. Finding a good dog trainer is also very hard. Especially when people like this guy talk so much false information. Super sad to see.
This is one of those cases where even a seasoned owner is bound to have problems controlling this dog. I would even go so far as to suggest the average trainer will have a struggle with him. The last correction he got shows how stern you need to be just to make an impression to him .
You’re exactly right
Yeah, the dog isn't clueless, but it refuses to get a message. Even with average dogs your average owner often misunderstands how to see if a dog is actually taking in communication. With this guy it's like talking to a wall. You need to hold up a chisel. After all, he isn't a wall, just needs to learn to be a dog.
I think the average dog owner would either do nothing effective or hit the dog and throw it in a crate.
I know I wouldn't know what to do.
Agree.
Yeah the dog needs to have a kick up the arse and to shit it's pants in fear, a few times.
I really like this one because it's ugly but it needs to be shown. The more extreme the behavior the more extreme the lesson needs to be! Thanks as always Joel.
My brother adopted a mutt from a shelter who was like this. We knew nothing of her prior life, but she had lots of issues with being controlling and the center of the universe. She'd growl when you try to push her a bit to make room to sit down on the couch/bed, she'd pull on leashes and bark at any living creature that passed her. She was one of those dogs that if she spotted someone while she was in the backyard, she'd viciously bark at them until they were out of sight. Our dad thought it was so cute and hilarious, which made it so much harder to train her. Parents ended up moving away and taking that dog with them since they were so fond of her, but none of her problems were ever resolved because no one but me would bother reprimanding her.
Bit of a long winded story there, but it's in agreement of extreme behavior needing extreme lessons. No reprimanding I did to that dog ever stuck, no behavior ever changed. She's probably outside barking at joggers as we speak.
It's not ugly or even close to extreme.
Where is this ugly?
@@eon6274sometimes prior life doesn't have anything to do with how the dog acts. mutts are prone to genetic brain problems. they usually have aggression or neuroticism problems.
@@hypergamousand even the prior life had something to do with behavioral issues, it’s just not the point. No time for looking for excuses. Behavioral issues need to be corrected and what is more important, CAN be corrected. If you aren’t super experienced with difficult dogs find a good trainer and he will coach you (and not so much the dog).
Don't let them THINK they are the center or your world. They CAN be! But don't let them know it.
Hope people get that message.
I always appreciate all owners who approve the video to be made.. it means the owners are allowing others to learn from there challenges..
Thank you to these owners. Thank you to Joel..
I learn a lot from this video and Joel's methods has 100 percent helped me with my dog
Gotta out bully the bully sometimes. I had two I clipped males one Dane/ one English mastiff and when they occasionally went at each other I was the only one whose bellow of KNOCKITOFFFFFFF!!!!!! Echoed off the closely knitted neighbor mountain morning airwaves lol. I’m a woman but you woulda thought a man was commanding marching Spartans. Was the only thing that was stopping them mid fight however. In that household EVERYTHING was mine. Everything. Right down to the sweeping pile on the floor. Mine. With those two 185/220 lb dogs you HAVE to control everything. Im currently going through this with my own dobie pup. It’s been some years and I’m rusty but it comes back quick. Zero disrespect will be tolerated.
Any tips on how to convey to a dog that “this is mine”?
I have a German Shepherd female who at a VERY young age was stubborn and showed some dominant traits. Started with her very young. She's now 4 years old and 87 pounds. Extremely protective of me...IF I give a command. I own all her toys, her food and water dishes, her bed, everything. She is now an amazing dog, but I work with her every day. You never stop training. Train every single day, consistently.
Hope the Doodle gets over his "my way or the highway" attitude soon. Kudos to the owners for recognizing that they have a huge problem and coming to you for help.
Oh, and please let Prince know that he is the Best Boy and give him even more of that extra love -- he sure has earned it after dealing with that bully.
“Prince is your new favorite dog” 🤣
That killed me.
OMG. This is my dog. I've struggled to figure out what is happening in his head and, although definitely on a lesser scale, THIS IS MY LITTLE PUNK DOG. I was so relieved when you said "What makes a dog like this?" "A dog is born like this." THANK YOU FOR THAT. I've had dogs my whole life and this little 13-lb. Coton de Tulear is a special sort of challenge.
Doodles are just mixed at random and theres no way to predict what they'll be like, they can be a mental mess
So can some breeds that aren't bred well (by bred well i mean dogs whos parents were health tested and mentally sound, i see pedigree purebred dogs that are a mess too, but doodles are just all over the place)
I have a little punk also, I'm glad to hear that they are born that way
@maryschrouder6676 So long as you understand that it doesn't mean the dog can do as it pleases and *must* learn discipline.
This dog has the same energy as a smart mouth who's never gotten a smart in the mouth for running their mouth.
I feel for the owners on this case, which is quite rare for me.
Just really shows how much learning "no" is so undervalued yet oh so needed especially in working breeds like this sod.
Kudos to Prince and you both for reading each other's vibes and working as one, always a delight to see!🏆
How don't people tell dogs no? They just don't know what to do? This dog is an extreme example though, good on the owners for getting help. The dogs face at the end is hilarious he doesn't know what to do!
@@Llkolii People can certainly yell "no!" as much as they like but if they're unwittingly rewarding the behaviour (baby-talk, cuddles, treats to distract etc) then they're not really saying what "no!" is actually supposed to mean, instead it becomes a bargaining chip or downright encouragement.
Like what we see with these people in the video, they never taught the dog to hold back, they let him run the show by not establishing who was the boss of the house, now the dog is bossing about because the people let it.
I too am glad the people got the help they needed very much, but I'm also sad a lack of leadership on their part was even a thing which in turn led to this chaos.
Great explanation! Thank you@@rustyhowe3907
Too many dog owners are too scared/fearful/enamored with their dogs and allow them to bite/growl/chase people...totally ridiculous. So glad the owners of this dog got help....society thanks you:)
Nowadays, I see people do it with their kids too… they wanna be friends and don’t wanna challenge them are scared if they fight back and don’t realize they’re the ones that should be in control not the kids
@Jaxmusicgal23 And there's *always* a sad ending for all parties if this dynamic never changes....
Joel is gonna get undeserved shit for this vid! I've never seen Joel love on Prince like that...they both have hard jobs. Nothing but love for you guys.
By the 8% snowflaky, unrealistic, wimpy, "hurt my feeelliiiiingsss 😭" - people. I know they throw tantrums, but lets just ignore em haha.
(No offence to you, they just make me mad . Just had to say it 😄)
He shouldn’t. This is exactly how you handle a dog like this!
I totally agree. I LOVE how forebearing Prince is with being pushed around. Then particulaly @7:50 mark, where IMMEDIATELY after Joel stopped reassuring Prince with the love, the Doodle walks AFTER Prince but gives a quick glance UP at Joel, like "is HE gonna stop me?", before he proceeds to corral Prince into the corner. Like reminding Prince AFTER all the love, "Don't forget, I am the boss !"
I am so in love with PRINCE and how HE handles the crap from other dogs. PRINCE deserves ALL the love he gets from Dad, aka, Joel
I learn SOOOOoooo much from these videos
I especially noticed that after every correction by anyone, including Joel, the moment the person left, the dog instantly took a couple of steps forward again. This dog thinks he can do no wrong. At the end he was a little scared of Joel, but I don't think he had connected the dots yet. Good to hear that he's getting better.
I learned so much from this! I met a dog the same way but couldn’t put my finger on what it was. It felt like a bossy thing that triggered prey drive that triggered aggression, but “controlling” is the best way to describe it. Needing to lose a bunch of times is TOTALLY the answer. Loved seeing dad at the end know when to push away! Fantastic video as always!
Me too! i used to act the same exact way, always running up on strangers and burying my nose deep in their ass. if they said something or tried to do it to me, I would just snap and attack them. I realized after watching that what i really needed was to be dominated, many times over the course of years. Now I'm a total little submissive freak.
Agree!!
I learned heaps too. This is my dog. Controlling movement is such a spot on observation.
Dogs are herders, hunters and sled drivers. There’s a militant discipline programmed into their DNA. Dogs were permitted to fight each other up until the past few centuries. Working dogs need play and dogs with high leadership drive need an outlet for it. Otherwise it’s bossy.
It doesn't matter how many videos he does and how esplicative he is, we don't stop learning from people like him.
Excellent job
"They CAN be the center of your world, they CAN'T think it" And that is SO hard for so many people and its understandable. But if you really care about your dog, you need to.
This is the first time I 100% recognize my dogs’ problems in one of the dogs in your videos. This is the exact same issues we’re having with our 2 girls. If only you were in Europe 😅
I am in Europe and I can help! Where exactly are you located?
@@extraterritorialforever9258 I’m in The Netherlands, you?
@@NaturallyNavi Be cautious, this person’s into questionable reality tv videos. Maybe look up balanced dog trainers or find out about inviting Joel to Europe. You could find out what the minimum number of attendees would to invite him there, and find out if there are others in your area. Or Joel may already be aware and be willing to come at some point. There is also Tom Davis at the Upstate Canine Academy who does tours, at times.
Hi Belgium here:) you can totally do this yourself! It’s only about never tolerating any controlling behaviour, but at the same time keeping your emotions in check:) if you get angry, you lose😛 if you notice the dog staring at you, watching you a little too much, using his body to block or hinder where you’re going, following you around all the time. Don’t accept it, also challenge it. If he’s staring, stare back till he either licks his lips or breaks eye contact, if he blocks you, make a habit of choosing a path and walking right through him, ALWAYS, he’ll get it. Just make it a mindset that he has won his last battle, from now own you win every challenge, even if you have to stare for days in a row😛 you win! And keep your emotions under control, don’t get angry with him, they see anger, fear, frustration as weak emotions so they ‘win’ when you lose balance
@@kims2r Most people can’t because they have neither the timing nor the experience reading non-verbal cues. Just because you may be able to doesn’t mean everyone else can. It leads to people making dangerous mistakes. Witnessed it.
This is a really good example of how Doodles can look sweet but bully their owners and everyone else. Great job modeling how to deal with this difficult problem. Kudos to the owners for coming to you! I'm sure you gave the philosophy/boss peptalk!! I know it helped me! Yay for Prince so tolerant and then taking control when he needed to. That last encounter the Doodle looked away from Prince first. I adored watching Joel love on Prince and how Prince soaked it up❤❤❤
People think that just because they look friendly and non-threatening that they aren’t capable of aggression or dominance.
I'm honestly not surprised it's a Doodle. They definitely arent as well balanced as a breed as people like to think 😅
Yup, people think these living 'teddy bears' can't have a mean bone in their body and tbh plenty don't but every dog can have a mean streak it's just sad we tend to overlook that because 'cute and fwuffy', take a look at little terriers for further proof.
@@Thylax_ THIS! I have a doodle but was no fool into believing this puppy was going to be some living toy, she's half poodle and half hunting dog (King Charles Cavalier) so she turned out wonderful now at a year old simply because we remembered she needs an action and scenting based job.
@@rustyhowe3907 Glad to hear you are taking care into getting proper stimulation for your dog! I wish more people would do so these days.
However. Uhm. You do realise that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are not hunting dogs? Yes they are Spaniels however they have been bred as companion dogs for ages.
Thanks for drawing attention to the fact that sometimes the breeds that are thought of well by society can also have huge problems and also need to be trained.
And for all those who think you can just use treats to fix this, you have no idea how dogs, people, or any social animal works. There needs to be negative feedback sometimes, or they will never change their behaviour. You are the one who takes care of and is responsible for the dog. Therefore, you need to be the one in charge.
Society needs to stop believing the idea that only certain breeds are capable of aggression and that the non-threatening looking breeds are always friendly. Any dog of any breed is capable of having behavioral issues. It is not a breed specific problem.
The owners are amazing. If this dog wasn't so target-focused they would have totally gotten this under control. Sometimes you need a bit of outside help! Best of luck to them.
Definitely a dog that a professional like you is needed. I don't think I would be confident handling a dog like that on my own. Great job teaching him some lessons.
Same here. I’m not an experienced owner, so I think having an extremely dominant dog like this would be hard for me.
A lot of people don't know that poodles are not only prey driven, but they were actually used as protection dogs and for hunting. They were the original hunting dog, but.
their problem was that they would not only go after the. Animal that was shot but they were then shred and eat it. They then became dogs use by the royal family not only because of their looks but also because they were protection dogs.
Not a pure poodle, you can tell by the nose (pure genetics are black nose only) and the tail (hair too straight). This is a mutt doodle, which explains the poor temperment.
Poodles have a viscious side for certain, but this is due to bad breeding and bad genetics. I would guess this is an F1bb doodle based on the torso and factors mentioned earlier.
@Luckingsworth I realize that he was not a pure poodle but a doodle. However, I would definitely believe that he's at least 60-70% poodle which is why I made that comment. My thought was that he was very being very territorial over his family, especially the wife.
As far as I know poodles are not good guard dogs, but they can be excellent watchdogs because they are generally not aggressive enough and haven't enough body mass and biting power. They were pred to apport ducks like retrievers. If you've read something different could you please post your source I'm interested in their history.
@@melodieramsay655 Yes, that is what an F1bb doodle is. They take a doodle, and breed that back with a poodle again.
This dog is half Australian shepherd.. you can tell by the chocolate Merle coat. Australian shepherd are herding working dogs that will be reactive and nippy if they don’t have a job. This bossy behaviour is very much Aussie behaviour.
Poodles are more calm with an off switch.
I really dislike doodle breeders for tainting our amazing breed.
The audio balance between original and voice over was on point in this video. Another great story! I didn't realize how parasocially protective of Prince I was until now lol SUPER helpful to see the exact *moment* the energy shifted in the poodle while Joel was in the chair, and how well articulated the control aspect was. Keep it up, team!
"parasocially protective" ! I like that! Yes! That's how I feel about Prince and the whole family and staff❤❤❤
That’s a doodle. Poodles have way more context awareness than that. This looks like an Australian shepherd/poodle mix which would explain the behaviour.. herding dogs are controlling and reactive and aussies can be bully’s.
These doodles are tainting the standard poodle.
I’m very tired of doodles tainting the standard poodle name.
I am very impressed by Prince in this video.
He literally said "Nono, I really don't want to be in your space." and tolerated a loooot (which I didn't expect). He has his own reasons for it, we don't know for sure. But when the dog pushed Prince way way wayyy to far, he stood up for himself and finally made this dog move away.
The way you explained the dogs behavior and how it (obviously) is not okay and dangerous - easy to understand and straight forward.
Thank you for the great videos!
Prince is very paziente, the fact that he's a little bit shy makes him be even more a lovely boy.
This is a fantastic video, that shows not only behavioural problems but also a 'personality' problem, that is harder to change. It's a good example of how methods of training, have to be tailored made, to tackle the issues involved.
I just love watching Beckman's videos. 😀
Can’t change personality traits….dogs or people

Yeah, id probably just get rid of that problem dog. I mean you can deal w it, probably, but why do all the work
@@johnanon658 I have a 12 year old Border Collie who is much like this dog, but more aggressive. I haven't given up on her yet, and I've had her since a puppy. While some of her behaviour can be attributed to her herding instinct, most of it can't. Other BCs I have had never behaved like this one. If you have a badly behaved child, do you just get rid of it? Or do you make every attempt to address the problem? A dog is NOT a throw away object, it is a living, breathing animal, just as humans are.
The dog's attitude is so 'flippant' when he's being reprimanded! It's like saying "whatever" to the high school principal when s/he is talking to you in the office after you were caught doing something bad.
This is a very difficult dog. I might've taught the owners how to side-submit him, but I'm not certain that would've been an answer in this case. It appears that this individual dog REALLY doesn't care what anyone thinks. No respect whatsoever. Bully describes him perfectly. Even as a balanced dog trainer, I admit I wouldn't really have known what to do before this video. I learn every day... And especially when I watch Mr. Beckman's videos! Thank you, Sir!
I found it difficult to watch this dog..ugly inside and out! Just a horrid creature
Prince, another example of why Dobermans are one of the best dog breeds ever produced.
This video is sooo helpful. My dog WANTS to get into fights, and now I can label the reason. She is controlling, and will attack fast to be bossy. This clarifies what is going on in her head. Joel, thank you for the dominance series. If you ever get bored, Please write the "dominant" dog hand guide. Thank you x1000.
This is the type of dog behavior that makes the positive reinforcement crowd lose their minds. NO amount of sweetness and cajoling can fix this. No amount of "winning" will change the mind like a few "loses" will. I was rooting for Prince to jump his ass way sooner than he did. Sweet, patient Prince.
positive reinforcement isn't about sweetness or cajoling. You have been looking at the wrong positive reinforcement crowd if that is what you think
@@rosieleat6868yeah, positive reinforcement is actually a lot of patience and good timing. Not to mention, positive reinforcement and corrections can happen in the same method of training a dog. You praise what's good behavior, you redirect bad behavior, you correct/meet aggressive behavior. Body blocking and physical control are used in, "positive reinforcement," training curriculums.
Some dogs are just like this. They're tough, he took some of the hardest work I've seen Prince dish out, and he was ready to have more. Not an easy dog!
Great video. The end says so much too. He attacks you when you suddenly stand up, so you pin him in the corner in response. Seems fair. But then moments later you wheel around the desk and... take a look at Mr. Tuff Guy run into huddle mode between mommy and daddy to get away from the mean guy. 😂 The worst kind of bully... In the yard when she was loving on Prince you could finally see that fella's gears turning up in his curly-haired head. That dog matured about 5 years in 5 minutes. 😂 Congratulations to these owners for seeking you out and trusting you. This dog's behavior has gone unchecked far too long. If they lodged the dog with you for some days, that's great. Not everyone can afford an intervention like this one, but making the video available to everyone is doing a huge service to dog owners. 👍 I genuinely want to see this dog become the sweet and cuddly bear that he desperately wants to be.
I really dont think the lesson or training is in any way extreme in this one. This is cool, calculated and fair. It is what the dog needs. No anger, just tuff love ❤
Please dont shame the owners. This happens to alot of people and these people seem to be really trying..
I think even some experienced owners would have a difficult time with a dog like this.
Prince is just amazing dog. Incredible. My dog is not aggressive, but for this kind of disrespect she would punish this dog really bad.
So glad to see something like this! His behavior is erratic and the average person probably couldn’t decode him.
I have a 93lb doodle . Finally a similar situation. New concept on a “ controlling” dog. Joel … do more crazy doodles please. 🐶❣️
Agree completely! I have the same issue with my doodle.
Doodles are loony. I have an Aussie Mountain Doodle that's 18weeks old and omg!
Leaders are not emotional and mad, they are calm, collected and very decisive and assert themselves calmly.
To me they seem like good and kind-hearted dog owners who got a doggie with advanced attitude problems. I can't believe people shamed them. Please keep uploading these videos. It's so educational.
“Are you a good boy? Are you the best boy? 😊”
*stands up*
“ 🐺🐺🐺‼️‼️”
Not even scared, more respectful of Joel and his boundaries for the behaviours in his own house. “Too big for his boots” alright! 😮 Getting help is such a big step for people, letting Joel put on his site as well, good on the owners.
I had an extremely dominant standard poodle batch. My roommate was a very experienced groomer. She said that she could count on the fingers of one hand the only other dogs she had met who were as controlling as this female. Fortunately we were a family of dog trainers and groomers, who put up with no nonsense. Puppy dog still had an attitude but learned she was low man on the totem pole.
My youngest dog is just like this dog. It’s incredibly helpful to have this example. Appreciate it as always.
Just returned from our loose leash walk with our Husky and Great Dane. I've learned a lot from you. I totally expect them to reach Wonder Dog status. :) Thank you!
Loved this video! We have a rescue terrier mix breed with this problem. Early on we kept using techniques like this, but not enough because I had never experienced a dog with the type of odd aggression. Calling it controlling makes so much sense. Adding a new dog who is twice his size, putting him in place regularly made a big change too, but it’s still a work in process. I’m glad he said dogs r born this way. I was hesitant for awhile going firm because I felt bad that it was from trauma as a rescue. I got to a point where I didn’t feel bad anymore. No one deserved his asshole treatment of them.
YES. I ECHO EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID. I've been hesitant to go super firm/harsh but after watching this video, I think I finally understand what's happening with my little dog's odd behavior.
Changing the behavior with a trainer is everything. its a win win! ☺️
I think this might be my new favorite video!! It was almost satisfying to see how the dog was not able to stare at Prince and just not get his way!!! I’m glad these owners found you Joel. And I really hope they will do what it takes to set boundaries, they owe it to their dog imo…
I only wish at the end they'd separated the dog from the owners for one last 'nowhere to hide, must recognize you are in a new situation'. The dog was trying to melt into the owners because it couldn't bully Joel. That's the point where the dog has to realize a third option "Bully Joel, hide in petulant sadness because I can't bully Joel, and oooooh yeah, maybe just take a chill pill".
its quite something that after prince gave him a tanking he turned round and basically stared him right down again like yo is that it, where i would say 95% or more dogs would have turned away or ran having realised the fight was lost. his strikes not dealing any damage and getting a bit of a tanking didn't seem to deter him. i worry this dog does it to the wrong dog... seems the lesson was not learned here. would like to see a progress update on this guy
Luckily he’s doing board and train so hopefully he get tampered down
I seriously love how persistent you are in this video. So few people have the patience or the will to *truly* break a dog's habit! I watch every video! They're awesome :)
I love that stuff😁 I worked with a dog once that just claimed furniture as its own, the owners couldn’t get him to respect boundaries. I just sat down and removed the dog from the couch for 40 minutes straight, with a smile on my face😂 the owners must’ve thought I was a dumbass but once you start to challenge a dog, you need to be the first one to not back down or get frustrated😛 you can feel the dog click when it looks at you funny and stops jumping in the couch and it’s the best feeling, THEN you can give the dog as much affection as you please and grow as a team, no hard feelings☺️
This is definitely one of the best videos yet.
My heart went out to Prince when Joel gave him love, this session seemed extraordinary hard on him as he’s usually so much more confident!
It paid off and by the end of the video he put this unruly poodle back in its place ❤
I'm glad this dog is in the board & train programme. The owners will be getting a much-needed holiday!
Watching Joel rise to the dog's occasion at the end was SO satisfying. I feel like in that moment, we saw him change. I feel like Prince couldn't handle this one and Joel knew it immediately and felt so bad. Prince is just too nice a dog to deal with a dog that feels satisfied by taking the piss.
There is nothing wrong with being very firm with discipline, especially in a case like this. Nothing else will work, and allowing the dog to continue “as is” will get more people hurt & could even result in the dog being put down. So it’s in his best interest to be rehabilitated. He’ll enjoy life more too.
Firm discipline shouldn’t be abusive or painful. But you need to show strength and get your point across.
It is interesting that despite being the stronger, more confident one prince kept letting him win. Never seen a doberman tolerating so much bullying. He is a true good boy.
ROFLMAO....Beckman says "Love doesn't fix this" 🤣😂🤣 So TRUE
Thanks Joel!
Love this channel for so many reasons but especially because it helps people who may not know or understand how to read & understand body language.
That would be difficult to deal with. I've had disrespectful dogs, but without the sneak/sudden attacks. That's dangerous, hope they can figure it out.
For sure, that would make me edgy.
I really, really like this one. The owners definitely shouldn't be shamed. Shaming doesn't make people want help, it makes them want to hide and that only creates more issues. They are doing the RIGHT thing by going to Beckman and clearly this is gonna work for the dog in the long run. I'm really excited to see more on this one.
The sad reality is that so many people think that they are going to be able to rationalize with their dogs the same way they think they are supposed to rationalize with infants and toddlers. That they cannot negatively reinforce bad behavior . Dogs need to know their boundaries and people need to know how to assert themselves when they are teaching a dog the boundaries. That is pretty basic but what so many people seem to fail at when trying to train a dog.
"Yeah he should be a little scared" 😂
Masterful Analysis! I have seen dogs try to be controlling by using playfulness, charm or even diversion or triangulation!
These dogs love prince 😅 then they try to punk him till they get the smack down 😂😂😂 👏 BRAVO PRINCE 🎉
I loved this training session! I have a dominant dog who is quite controlling and I never knew how to address this before. She has always had a problem with certain people and dogs where she feels the need to get after them for sudden movements. Now that I understand better what is going on I can take action to stop this behavior. Thank You So Much Joel this is so helpful :)
Exact same here, I don't have a dominant dog, but she's extremely anxious so I think her controlling behaviour comes from the fear that something might happen if something changes so she tries to control everything. Either way, it's an unhealthy behaviour and it's never too late to start correcting it!
#1 non dog owner fan! 😅
Soon you will have dogssss 😂
@lyrebliss is correct.
It is inevitable, it is your destiny.
Welcome to the bark side!🐕
@@Goibniu001 no, I haven't owned a dog since I was a child. But they're pretty cool!
As a dog owner we appreciate when people love our pups ❤
Lol same....this is so interesting
Joel and Prince are the GOAT
Crazy how this dude understands dogs behavior but it’s so interesting to watch
I love Beckmans Dog Training. I am learning so much. I watched a lot of dog training videos where the trainer does something with a dog but doesn't explain exactly what they are doing and why. Joel explains what he is doing, how to do it and why. You can tell how in tune he is with dogs by watching how they act and react. He makes it really understandable for anyone. The videos have already helped me train myself, and let's be honest, it's MOSTLY the people, including myself, that need trained so they can properly train their dog. Thank you for making these videos!
Great videos and great explanation
I would have never thought this breed of dog was aggressive until our neighbor’s had one as a family dog, and for some unknown reason, it attacked one of their children. The little girls face was a mess and she needed a ton of sutures.
Any dog of any breed is capable of aggression. How they're bred and how they're raised plays a big role in that.
Prince’s patience is top tier 👌🏽
Thank you for making these videos. I had a Belgium malinois with very similar attitude. I had multiple trainers which didn’t think he could be fixed and thankfully I ran into a trainer who raised this breed and she came and showed me exactly what this particular breed needed and how I needed to correct my own mannerisms around him. I have raised labs throughout my lifetime but having a dominant breed required firm leadership which I needed to learn. So thankful for her help and after five years of struggling my malinois and being told I needed to put him down we were able to enjoy 6 wonderful years. Thankful there are trainers like this who help us along the way.
Fascinating. Looking at this dog I would never have imagined that he could win any kind of battle with Prince. Just goes to show that looks can be deceiving and that with dogs, it’s all about the energy you carry. I have never seen a dog so focused on the control of others so this case was really interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I've said it before and ill say it again. Big poodle lookin dogs like this, or labradoodles, I have noticed many times they have a tension and an intensity about them and a bark, that just totally defies how goofy and fluffy they look....its remarkable.
Doodles are neurotic
We’ve got a goldendoodle and he’s amazingly chill and friendly with other dogs and people. It just depends. We got him from a good breeder with good lines.
idk but people forget labs and poodles are both high energy working dogs
@@iris7484 there’s different lines of dogs. There are working line labrador retrievers and show line golden retrievers. Big difference in energy levels.
@@ThinkingAhead2 true but for that to matter you need a responsible breeder/responsible buyer/known pedigree in the case of rescues (which just doesn't happen.) It just helps to be aware that you run the risk of getting a lot more than you bargained for with hunting breeds.
I would just like to second the notion that Prince is indeed a good boy ❤
I love these videos. There’s so much to unpack in a dogs behavior and why they do things, and this guy gets straight to the point.
I’ve used techniques like this (without really realizing) and I’ve gotten my parents highly reactive lab to actually listen when she starts going nuts at the front door or in the windows when someone walks by the house. You gotta get to the root of it and read the body language!
Also I love Prince he’s such a handsome boy ❤️
This was insightful. I have a GSD who was not this bad, but similar, he did not like my family members making certain movements (reaching into a grocery bag, reaching for things, leaning to pick things up). He would run up to them and bark crazy. Never tried to bite anyone but it was unbearably annoying.
I first tried giving him treats while they did the trigger movements. This worked a bit but didn't solve the problem
One day I said "I'm OVER IT" and every single time he'd start barking, I'd immediately put him in his room for a time out. After a few days of doing this he completely stopped. Interrupting the behavior really seems to have done the trick.
I don't know why he was being a control freak or why those movements upset him so much. I have a suspicion it has to do with his herding instincts but I could be wrong.
I saw this video after I had already solved the problem, but it's interesting to see a similar problem and see your input on it
Idk why I wrote this long comment but yeah I enjoyed seeing this!
This might be (one of) the best video on this channel, because i believe the behavior this dog is showing happens a lot more and with a great variety of breeds (the protecting, the hearding and the family ones) then people will realize. It could easily be that one out of ten dog owner has or had a dog similar to the one we seen here.
That follow up with him going at you inside the office was probably one of the best corrections for this guy! Great video!!
I think Princes mum must be behind the camera when the lady was patting him he kept looking at the person holding the camera in a guilty way 😅 so cute . I love Prince he's so clever and I love how he's included in the intro to 'me and prince are gonna sort these dogs ' . Love it .
I like how real the reactions are. I never once thought they are faked unlike with many other creators, but the camera-person jumping in the beginning too from how 'different' or at least surprising this case is since they originally seemed sweet is cool to see.
Also glad to see it as I have a standard poodle and as a puppy he would do some of the controlling stuff to people about movement and sounds and I felt I was being too harsh for age, but was not gonna put up with any of it. At times I'd have to force him on to the ground cause wouldn't stop and it was like his little brain wasn't wired right.
He got so much better really quick from the consistency and now his only trigger is sneezing and occasionally coughs and faking them doesn't work to try and specifically train that either. He at least will not bite, but he gets so in your face and is so big now that I worry about him breaking someones nose since face collisions are still fairly common in that situation still. He also fixates with dogs similarly, but luckily it doesn't seem to be the same issue.
For now it's mostly consistency with what I have set up, making sure he listens to all commands since he's to smart and will act up with you not enforcing a single thing (which is making living with a roommate hell), and management. Hoping to save up for a board and train for this, weird quirks, potentially e-collar training as I think it will be great for him (he needs very immediate corrections or he doesn't get it) and other issues.
NOBODY i mean NOBODY reads a Dog like Joel...BRILLIANT!!
You ever watch dog daddy?
OMG thank you! My dog is exactly like this with other dogs, she tried with people but I nipped it in the bud. However I have no idea how to stop her from doing it with other dogs and I don't want to subject other dogs to her in order to teach her so I make her stay away from them. She has a muzzle but because she's more smell obsessed than other dogs she tends not to act the same way when the muzzle is on, she will try to take it off constantly.
Honestly, I think this is one of your best videos. Certain behaviors are easy to correct, the dog is a narcissist. I found your correction’s absolutely perfect. ❤. I learned something.
I believe doodle mixes are coddled like small dogs cus they look like big fluffy toy then behavior issues come up and becomes really dangerous cus of their size!
There is no such thing as a doodle mix, because a doodle is a mix already. And while that has to do with it, doodles have behavior problems because they are irresponsibly bred mutts. Doodles take everything a poodle is, and degrade their genetics. And they got popular because people actually want a poodle, but have this false image in their head of the fluffy show cut not understanding Poodles are water hunting dogs that have been used in war and are also highly capable at herding, mushing, and so forth.
Doodles habe unstable genetics, are usually bred from the lowest stock since high quality poodles are sought by people who actually want poodles, and are only bought by ignorant consumers.
@@Luckingsworththat is absolutely my story. I grew up with labradors and a friend of mine always had a Tibet Terrier (they don't shed) and so I thought a Labradoodle is the best of both worlds. But my boss has one and he told me this was not a good Idee. Labrador and poodle are very similar in behaviour so this might work but his got all the illnesses from both sides. So I looked into the poodle and I'm now a very happy poodle mom. They've got more energy than a labrador but are totally adaptable and he has fun with everything. We are working towards our Mantrail Licence and doing changing dog classes, he loves to do literally everything except staying home alone. So yes to the poodle but be really careful with the doodle. I once saw a husky poodle mix and you don't have to be a genius to know this is likely ending in disaster but sadly one of the most beautiful dogs I ever saw.
@@Luckingsworth NAILED it!!!
I think that's part of the reason, though bad breeding is most likely another cause.
@@user-rk6jc7ot3sI have a standard poodle too. He is 18 months old.. amazing with our kids and every adaptable. The standard poodle hate is weird because they are very good natured and stable dogs.
Could also be a case of leaving his mother too soon too, looks like he missed out on parental corrections
"Prince is your new favorite dog" is fantastic advice.
That dog had a bad attitude but it was so insanely cute when he leaned onto his mommy and daddy’s chair😂. As of he wanted their support..Almost like see mommy I have bullied someone in my class but I am still your cute boy 😂😂😂
How much pee does Prince have? 😂
This is so good and this type of video is not shown enough! My dog is awesome with dogs and people but she gets "jealous" (aka controlling) when I give attention to my roommate's dog.
I do tell my dog to go away but not as hard as in this video. I will do more of this level. Thanks again Joel (and Prince!)
Do you have a video of dogs not being aggressive but being too vocal with barking at people and/or dogs?
I'd love to know your method.
Same here but it's with her younger "sister". Jealously is horrific. Not serious just soo obnoxious.
So, had a couple of your videos randomly recommended to me today, and so far pretty glad to have found these. Gives me hope again for trainers and dog owners lol. I'm really glad the owners came to get help, and I'm glad to hear at the end the dog was starting to do better.
In an odd way it kinda reminds me of my time in babysitting with kids to some degree, in a public business - not a full time daycare which, I imagine its worse for them, mine was just a room set aside at a martial arts studio where parents could drop off their younger kids so they could watch the ones taking class/take a class themselves. Most of the kids who were dropped off were behaved, but man sometimes...
This one reminded me of one time I had a mom leave a pair of kids, young daughter and a boy like....surely no older than 3. Probably 2, he could toddle but wasn't forming words yet. But I remember that feeling I got when the girl - the daughter, mind you, not the mom - warned me that her brother was a biter when he got mad. Many fascinating thoughts on that but that's another tale. The thing was, he very much was, and he got mad over everything. If another kid did something he did not like, he would bite them. Which was often.
The reason I think this one comes to mind was because I kind of adopted something my dad told me, back when he had a big German shepherd dog. One of the ways he taught that dog not to bite was to bop it on the nose when it got nippy, I think part of the reason he told me about it was when trying to teach me about what to do if a dog attacked me. I don't remember exactly why, but that's one of the things that's stuck with me, and I ended up kinda using it here, since I wasn't sure what else to do.
When the kid made the first bite, I would pick him up and he wouldn't be allowed to play for a little while - which made him really mad and MAN would he scream - and when he'd try to bite me I bopped him. GENTLY, of course, he's two years old and I didn't want to hurt him, just effectively warn him off and make it clear that this behavior was not going to be tolerated. If he calmed down (which was rare...) I would let him down and try again. If he bit again, rinse and repeat. I tried keeping the bop as close to when he did the bite as possible, since that was the behavior i wanted him to recognize as the problem. That was just the best thing I could think of at the time, honestly to this day I'm still not sure what else I really could have done.
Fortunately I only had him a few times as the family didn't hang around, but yeah. Just a very long-winded way to say I totally get what you were trying to teach the dog because that's what I was trying to teach to a kid. Both little bullies, one just has better developed jaws and teeth and is a bigger problem to control/teach.
Keep up the great work! Also Prince is a gorgeous dog, very good boy
I'm happy to see stuff like this because it helps in my situation, as my lab/pyre mix believes that SHE needs to have control of everything. This helps me heavily. Thank you.
Thanks for addressing this. Kudos to the owners for continuing to work that with their her dog and trying to find answers. I haven’t seen this addressed before but imagine there are people out there that this will help and either the same or similar issues. Not that it matters at this point, but I’m wondering if it is genetic. I have a Doodle and she reacts in a similar way though not aggressive.
Yep, same here. A our born confident doodle just won't tolerate her younger siblings presence sometimes and just "snipes" at her. Luckily the younger sister, although the omega is also confident in that she could really care less and just blows her off but it's still so uncalled for and annoying.
I didn't see this attack comming, even with knowing the problem. When he attacked you in your chair I was surprised. I watched that again and again. Did you see it in his body language? Mine looks exactly the same when he sees something interesting and he would go near it exact the same way. Standing up would result in him going backwards bit until this point I just can't see a difference. Can somebody explain. We met a dog a couple of days ago, he just stood there allegedly calmly until we have been almost past him and then he jumped into the leash and scared me to death. I'm wondering if he showed signs I could have seen. Did the dog in your video show signs, would you have known he was attacking you without meeting him bevor the chair situation?
Super subtle but it was in the nervous whine and glance at the owners. Joel essentially did a human play bow toward this dog and, ignoring the tail wag, his body is stiff with a hard expression.
Yeah I saw it after a few seconds. The dog started getting stiff and focusing intently on Joel. I think one of the problems with this dog is that he's so darn cute looking, it's hard to believe he can have bad thoughts. If he were a Rottie I think it would be a lot more obvious.
Thank you owners, I learn a lot about dogs from your acceptance. Thank you.
That poodle is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Poodles have the worst temperamental issues. I’ve met so many with loose wires and they’re unpredictable
This isnt a poodle, it is a doodle. Poodles have incredibly good temperments. Doodles are poorly bred with bad genetics and unpredictable behaviors.
@@Luckingsworth Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a bit situational? I imagine if you breed a tempermantally sound Lab with a tempermantally sound Poodle, there's no reason the offspring wouldn’t have stable tempermants as well. Of course, not all breeders do this, but unfortunately that's a problem with most breeds. It's not exclusive to Doodles.
@@Luckingsworthright? We have a standard poodle and he is super stable outside and calm in the home like every well bred standard poodle I’ve met. I’m tired of doodles tainting our breed.
@@blueflare3848no because labs are hyper so when they are mixed with a poodle it expresses itself as neurotic behaviour. My standard poodle has an off switch in the home while many labs are go go go. It’s a bad mix IMo. Poodles are also context aware and labs are oblivious. Both breeds are great on their own.
@@blueflare3848 No, that isnt how genetics work. Any amount of variability reduces stability. You can mix two random colors or red and get a decent loking red 99% of the time, same with blue. But mix any two random shades of red snd bkue and you are going to get drasticallt different results from near black, to light violet, royal purples, just blue, just red, and so on.
This is dog training and behavior control and modification. Great job Joel. That dog is a jerk. Poor breeding. This is what happens when unethical breeders jump on the doodle fan wagon.
I don't think enough people realize how much breeding plays a role in a dog's tempermant. Yes, how they're raised does as well, but if it has a bad tempermant then it's genetically predisposed to behavioral problems, regardless of how it's raised.
@@blueflare3848 you're 100% correct. Ethical breeders breed to better the breed. Unethical breeders do it for for money. All the dogs need is a uterus and a penis. And any doodle cross, Excluding the labradoodle, are NOT breeds. And as an FYI if you look up Wally Conron, who founded the breed, he states how he wished he never did it. AND it takes years to develop a breed. 5 generations of dogs, showing consistency of type, conformation and temperament.
@@rezotydnic Exactly. That's why I scoff when people say that all breeders are bad and that we should never buy from them ever. Good breeders aim to improve the breed they specialize in, like you said. They strive to breed for healthy, tempermantally sound dogs that will live long and happy lives with their familes. It's backyard breeders that are the problem. They just throw two purebred dogs together and try to produce as many puppies as possible. They don't care about the health or tempermant of their dogs. That's how you end up with dogs that are unstable and dangerous.
It’s also an Australian shepherd mix.. Aussies are not family dog.. they are true working dogs. This dog wants to work.
@@blueflare3848 That's exactly why I hate when people scream "don't shop adopt or you're a bad person". Also the fact that shelter dogs already had bad experiences with humans.
Prince is kind of a therapist, love him lmao
THANK YOU for the perfect balance of discipline and kindness/fairness to the dogs and clients! Amazing work/education!!!!!
The usual problem of treating dogs like children. They need a pack leader, boundaries, rules as well as affection. While the number of people who buy dogs as if they were puppets to cuddle is growing.
