@lone-wolf1248 yes that's right. He's gotten better but he needs a lot of repetition. I shorten the leash when I release him so he can't bolt. Just trying to get him to release calmly
I taught my dog on lead to round up the chickens, and because they walk slowly and my dog was following them at a very slow walk, I started cueing it: good slow. She is a ball mad dog and will run all day, but at the park I can now say: good slow, and she will slow right down and walk beside me for a few minutes - the length of the yard to put the chickens away lol - they miss nothing!
Your butt touch method allowed me to gain so much control over keeping my 6mo old husky's attention without relying on treats. My family didn't understand until 3 days later when he was basically a different dog.
Joel, I've gotta thank you. Using your methods and your philosophy (plus a gentle leader), I have been able to walk off-leash with my 2 yr old male cocker spaniel 10+ blocks while crossing the streets in my metropolitan neighborhood in New York City. I literally started attempting off leash on walks only this week, and my dog's perfect - listens and follows everything and everywhere I move.
Not related at all, but I could watch Prince play all day! Doesn't matter if the dog is bigger or smaller than him, intact or not, he plays so well with any dog! Reminds me so much of my 13 year old labrador's younger days!
Hot damn they’re big and strong. Just this afternoon my Great Dane 8mo pup took me out, heels over head. I’m 6’7 230lbs and he did not slow down one bit. Went right through me.
Yes. This is a similar method to Dog Daddy. It really works! I shared this with my husband because we have two Great Dane puppies. I usually do the training but I'm laid up with a broken ankle and can't do my job for another 3 months. This method works for so many situations- it's awesome. Thank you for explaining it in very easy to understand language along with the demonstration! I know this will work for barking and leash work Ty Ty Ty Ty!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm no dog professional though I'd hazard a guess that the 'clink clink' of the collar has operantly conditioned (by accident) the dog to pull. I did the same with my sisters dog who'll pull even with a halti so I went to the slip lead for to provide a different stimulus and with your other techniques had great results. Keep up the great work Joel love your approach!
No...the dog pulls because they didn't use the collar correctly. They kept it tight...as Joel did...this encourages pulling. The collar must be "popped" along with a change of direction
@@RyanRoberson-gc1op Yes. I know how the collar works and what you explained yet that doesn't dispute what I said. The dog hears the sound (a stimulus) and pulls. The dog feels the collar tighten (another stimulus) they still pull.
This video is excellent for large dogs. My friend had two large great Danes, and I Definitely sent this to her. She and her dogs now have a chance to live in the outside world. TYIA from her. 😊 Plus my GSD just like the one down same problem but with people.
This is the video I needed to see! I have a 125 pound female Irish wolfhound. She is about 5’10 on her hind legs and strong! She is fine on the leash until she sees people and other dogs.She gets so excited. Wants to meet them. She goes to doggie daycare and has a great time. Very sociable dog. I will work with her using the butt touch method.
Even Joel says no longer than 3 hours if you do do doggy daycare. Check out his Rottweiler named Creed video for the foundation video for loose leash walking and reactivity. He also has a walking tutorial that is particularly helpful. Hope that helps.
@@robinrutherfordcost4748 Thank you both for the information. I have been talking her twice a week for a few hours a day (thinking she needed playtime with dogs). I will reduce that time! Also, I am already seeing improvement a day later using the butt touch method!!!
I'm glad you actually mentioned prong collar as well as gentle leader because prong collars are fine if they're used correctly just like any tool. Wiith some dogs that have long necks, a gentle leader can be detrimental if not used correctly because it can cause a pinched nerve - I have personally seen this with a Golden Doodle.
Exactly, it's a training tool. Even e-collars can be useful training tools *_when used correctly_*. The problem is they're meant as temporary helpers, but some people see them as easy fix-alls or permanent punishment tools ready to use because they think it'll help them skip training. E-collars especially can fuck a dog up big time real quick when used incorrectly, and prong collars can injure and even kill dogs. I'm of the opinion that these should be considered specialty tools, akin to a medical prescription almost, and used only by trainers or under trainer guidance. Most people can't fit a standard flat collar or harness properly - as I can attest working in a veterinary clinic - and shouldn't be trusted with a device MADE to inflict pain.
Me too! Especially the snoutless breeds like the Frenchie shown here. The Frenchies in particular seem so difficult... their skin is all loose and squirmy to grab, you can't get a gentle leader fitted, you can't do anything that could injure their throat, and they're SO low to the ground... Not a lot of intelligence or focus, and god forbid they like to run away on the go-get... I really think they seem 10 times harder than a large, intelligent working breed dog.
@@BDTrainingJust fyi, you are making a very common mistake by saying: “I could care less” when the actual phrase is “I couldn’t care less”. You are actually claiming that you do care, to some degree instead of not caring at all. While it’s very common today that people say it the wrong way, anyone who understands the difference is going to think that the people saying it couldn’t care less about speaking properly. Perhaps you don’t care, in which case I apologize for wasting your time, but I felt that as a content creator you might appreciate the heads-up. Great video! 🐕
MY biggest pet peeve was pulling on a leash when I had dogs. It was a huge no no. From young my Danes, Mastiffs, Labs, every one respect their necks and walked loose. We would be doing a lot of sit, wait, heal, sit wait, heal, sit wait heal. It makes you feel so good to have two calm Danes one on each side. And it helps that they are calm, for THEIR health. Keep it up. Saving dogs from their people, protecting them from other people.
Thank you so much Joel! ❤ I was literally thinking the other day "I need to watch more Beckman butt flipping videos because I can't see very well when he does it" and here you are with 4 different size, breeds, age dogs doing it and it's clear thank you I appreciate all your information you give ❤
i understand why youd be annoyed with any issues with camera work but honestly i feel like 98.% of the audience isnt coming here for cinematography and its understandable with your content. your crew is making good stuff
Im just so proud of my Malonois crazy Daisy. She was a homicide looking for a place to happen. Thanks to your videos she is now a love monster We go to the dog park every night. Honest to God the dog tells me about problems before they happen. God bless you.
This was helpful. I am dealing with fear pulling with a rescued hound so watching all the pulling and fear videos, would love to hear you speak on the combination. Thank you!
Omg I watched one off training pulling on the lead and said you should have a training haltie for nose, and my bully doesn't pull at all walks by my side. Live is so easy for me and my bully. Thank you 😊
I really hope I can do this . I’m 67 yr old female and I have a 180 pound St Bernard , and the people next door has a dashound that has come after mind so now she’s always looking for that dog to come in our yard again.😱
You can do anything. The key is to be consistent and “mean it.” No messing around. Training is no shenanigans time! Make them question “Who is this person?” Cheers 🤗
Dear Mr. Beckman I just wanted write and tell you how much I appreciate the videos you post on CZcams. I have learned so much with them. We adopted a 8 week old Golden in April and I have been watching your videos and implementing them in training our pup. We think your great and really good at what you do. If we lived out in California we would certainly look into having you help us with our Zoey. Thank you again for the videos. Alan Janes
Thank u for showing a great Dane, I have been hoping u would. And this one was perfect. I'm training my boy , Crowley To be my service animal , for my needs and he's doing well. But sometimes he does pull . And I have been trying to see what I could do to help get that out of him . I'm using a gentle leader, and it helps but sometimes he still pulls and this is perfect ,,, thank you so much so much I would appreciate more Danes if u can when u can . But thank you again
Thank you so much for this! Love your videos! We have 2 - 3/4 Eng Mastiff/Great Dane dogs, siblings. Dad was full Eng Mastiff, Mom was 3/4 Eng Mastiff/Great Dane. They are 6mo old and have reactivity on the leash. I had to switch to a prong color to practice on with them just so they would learn not to pull. They only pull a little bit now and again, but we're still practicing. This technique you show here is great! I grab their collar when I see a person or people or dog bc I know they'll lunge or pull me (I'm small 😆, they're 120lbs) but I didn't think to do the butt thing. I just make them sit while I hold their collar, and I straddle them w my knees in their side. I think this way might prove to work better. Our male is the lunger. Thanks again so much I make my husband watch your videos bc he doesn't take me seriously 😅
I have used a prong on my husky because you know huskies...pull, pull, pull and go, go, go. No leash reactivity with dogs or people, no dominance or aggression, just bred to pull through snow for very long hauls. Once I learned about the gentle leader, I realized that I actually had more control and she knows it too lol. Walks are definitely improving and progressing, we only have set backs when I don't use the open door method before I take her for a walk or rain storms have prevented long walks for a few days. I think I need to incorporate the butt touch method because I have only done this a few times and she thinks this method is play time. Very intelligent, but so hyper and easily distracted. When she gets to run off leash with other dogs on a daily basis, she is much calmer and more attentive to me and training. Just wanted to share because I know we all struggle at times. ❤
I've naturally moved to holding my dogs collar instead of lead in high intensity moments as it's the only way I can really get a better hold of him, but i think too much trying to switch him around would antagonise him, as i try body corrections and he just wants me out of the way... i feel like i've tried everything under the sun with him but I'm still missing something. i've trawled the internet and taught other people how to train their dogs with what I've learned but i can't seem to train my own fully. he's much better at home for the most part but out of the house I may as well not be there sometimes - or at least that's what he thinks. I really appreciate your content and what you share because it was one of the first and only places I came across for training bigger dogs, that I felt could understand the complexity of his temperament... and that I'm probably trying everything I can. I found your page in a moment I really needed it 🤍
Thank you! No need to apologize and reassure people you are not hurting the dog. Unless they have had to deal with a reactive dog - like my reactive GSD - they have no idea how strong these dogs actually are. If a dog can drag one down the street, it can take the corrections - if given correctly. Your videos are helping me so much! Keep doing them, please! I don't live in California, otherwise, I would be bringing my dog to you :)
Thanks for the video. I house sat/dog sat a Great Dane once. Took him/Dino for a walk on a lead and before i knew what was happening, i was flying through the air as he LEPT over a cattle grid. And special mention for the Golden Retriever with 'get me the heck outta here' eyes. That butt flipping is an outstanding method....the timing and technique would take some time to master i'm thinking. 👍 Thanks guys, great to watch.
I have two Anatolian Shepherd mix girls almost 20 weeks old and we expect them to be 100+ lbs when they're grown. I seriously appreciate the giant breed videos!!! You are a lifesaver. We've talked about rehoming these dogs a few times because of the trouble they've caused and I don't think we would be able to keep them if it wasn't for your videos, thank you so much!!! Also I'd like to credit myself, I've been obsessed with dogs and studying them my entire life, and training small dogs since I was 10 so I'm not a bad trainer.... But these two giant ladies are a whole new ballgame that I wasn't prepared for but it is an absolute blast and I love these big babies so much 😂💚💙💜
Don’t spay them at least until after 3 years old those giant breeds take that long to mature and need their hormones.Better not to spay at all.Are they littermates? Hope you are aware of littermate syndrome!!! Those big girls will be super difficult if you don’t take steps to overcome that HUGE hurdle.
@@OffGridDogs yeah I thought it was two years, but I'll do some more research to refresh my memory. Thank you for the advice!! My dogs do come from the same litter as well as my brother's two dogs and my uncle's dog, and a few of my mom's coworker's. Her coworker's parents own the mother dog. I also have a best friend whose family owns a shepherd/Pyrenees mix (ironically mine are also part Pyrenees lol as well as German Shepherd, Husky, Malamute, Malinois, and Coonhound, according to the DNA test but idk how accurate those are lol) so my best friend has also been giving me tons of advice on how to physically handle and train this giant breed. So far I admit it has been tough, which should be obvious I think, but it feels 100% worth it to me. They're my giant fur babies and I will do anything for their safety and happiness
@@RyanRoberson-gc1op it's funny how you assume I know nothing when I literally said in my comment that I've been training dogs since I was 10 years old lmfao 🤣😂 the dogs needed a home and my family provided a loving, safe, and caring home for them better than most people could. Do you know how hard it is to find a good home for dogs that huge? My parents and I wanted to take them in so we did. We're not idiots, thank you very much. Ps: Don't be a dumb, judgemental, chronically-online asshole or risk making a fool of yourself.
@@RyanRoberson-gc1opThey owe you nothing! None of your business. Pretty rude to ask. Or, maybe you just woke up cranky and all full of yourself. Cheers, and have a better day. 🤗
Boy Danes are so gentle I have had such great success with leash pressure technique with multiple fear reactive Danes in boarding settings infact I would say they are one of the most receptive breeds when it comes to that (vs labs and pits for example)
Your methods aren’t “tricks” but…maybe a new term here: “houndsmanship” - sort of like horsemanship? It’s your meaningful and well-explained handling that makes the difference for us. Thank you!
It’s amazing all that was packed into a little over 12 minutes. Would have loved to see another 8-10 minutes of the dogs. Btw seeing a “reverse angle” view of Prince meeting a dog was cool!
Just got 2 1.5 year old Great Danes. I had no idea how strong these dogs were. I’m 6’4” 240lbs and it took all my strength to keep one from dragging me on a leash.
Damn, it looks like that Great Dane has a giant swinging church bell for balls. Even Prince was impressed with them. He snuck in a couple of extra sniffs of those thing. Was that German Shepherd shown towards the end? Looked like it was mixed with a Malinois, definitely had that dark face and a shorter coat
It seems very similar to teaching your horse to disengage his hindquarters when something happens. It’s a great tool for calming the mind. I use this on my leash reactive dog if I see he is building, works very well, he just turns then I step backwards and call him to me, he comes, wags his tail, I just reward then. Thanks Joel, it’s been great for helping me, sometimes I’ll even use my foot on my big dog, just push his butt around with it. I can do that faster than grabbing the collar when he has actually suddenly gone ‘off’. I then step backward, call him, and reward again.
I've seen a trainer use a 2 inch wide strap going around the dogs belly in front of the rear legs. This allows him to lift the legs off the ground and rotate the dog's rear toward the other dog. He was doing this with German shepherd and later using a smaller strap, which looked like a collar for a larger dog and a leash attached to it so he didn't have to bend over , he worked with a chihuahua. Both dogs seemed aggressive, but not the dog he was introducing them to. I only wondered if this was bad for the dogs back to be lifted this way. He also wasn't using the method simply to keep the dog from leaving him, I think he would have been more effective if he had done that also. His main goal was not to have his dog meet face-to-face with another, and also to allow the other dog to make his dog, face to rear. I enjoyed the video.
I am going to try this! I have a Rotti that is great with a gentle leader but with out it, it is a whole different story. 😲Especially with squirrels and rabbits around. Thank you!
The butt-touch is dog language for "Pay attention! Act right!" A dog will often correct another dog this way. I can see why it's so effective for a trainer. If the butt-touch correction given from one dog to another is ignored, humping is next. We've learned to intervene at the point of the butt-touch in socializing our dog.
Exactly the video I needed right now. We've been doing the stop and correct method, which worked for taking down the energy, but he's still incredibly distracted on walks. This will help!
Go back to square one, take back control of getting him to pay attention to you. Square One is back in the house, training the Doorway Method all over again. Then once you and he have mastered that method, move on to the Loose Leash Method. Who is the boss in your house, you or him? Sounds like he is 😮! You can do it! Good Luck!
@@User7688.--_ Lol he's not the boss because I've let him be distracted on walks. His doorway manners are excellent, just distractions like cats and other dogs completely take his focus. And having another dog in front doesn't help, tbh, but I'm not always able to walk them seperately.
I'm a month in with this little guy. 25 walks. He still wants to pull, now it's 50 corrections instead of 1000 in one hour though, and 99% of the time he's beside me instead of in front. I was watching another guy today, he was like, fix pulling in 5 minutes or something like that, people should be told, most times that is not even close to realistic. Especially if they've been on the retractable leash before as well. ✌💖
Gotta be the boss. I should put that on a T-shirt. The distractor of pushing against the pull is very useful in my limited experience; a knee push at the ribs or hip keeps and a sharp shout works well. Get the dog to look at you for direction, then give him a "good boy". The move by the owner at 1:37 scared me a little; hands over a dog's head are an invitation for a bite I think. Great instruction.
Update. I havé an Irish Wolfhound and wow the changes that have taken place using this method! She looks at me instead of nearly yanking me out of my shoes!
Was at the beach just yesterday and had to use some of this "Jeet Kune Dog"! There's a guy that plays pick up volleyball where I play and he has a 100 lb 2 Y/O GSD. The dog will incessantly bark if his owner is out playing even though he can see him. Which drives most the rest of the group nuts so he will just bring the dog then take it home and come back. I said I'll watch your dog if you'll allow me go play a game or 2. Dog was fine looking for his dad some but no barking til he walked towards after. I just kept him busy with his ball and some sits and ice for treats. The owner is a little softer when speaking even though he's a large guy. As I was giving commands another regular play says " that's probably the most direction that dogs ever had". This thing had a prong on it and it didn't phase him. But the combination of being ready and verbal correct with that collar did in the short time. These big strong dogs need a firmer hand and voice especially if they've gotten away with a bit prior. That's what I get outta this video and slightly different approaches depending on size. Now I just gotta get him to ditch the stupid extend-o- leash! Sorry for the loong post hope the delivery didn't suck as much this time!
The great dane is big and powerful, but I still have trouble with leash pulling. My wife is very stubborn and even bites sometimes when I try to give her a correction.
Joel, I don't call your methods tricks! They are tools to make me the alpha with a dog that is constantly challenging me for the alpha position. I get nothing but praise when we go out and other people see what Charlie does! Just like Prince, he is smart, but well trained. Your videos are the best or there!
Yes! I needed this video! My 4 yr old boxer stares down other dogs with every muscle in her body tensed. Will this method work for correcting that behavior? What about at a park or a campground when approaching that dog (once calmed) is not an option for the reward?
Tell me about the second great dane atvthe end of the video. He has exactly the same markings as my boy...including the white face freckles...incl. round the eyes...what is this? Is it vitiligo?
Bro if your Great Dane is 7 years old and doesn't like dogs just be a good person... leave them be. This breed doesn't live long and this stress for an old dog is just useless. Dying at 7 isn't even that bad for this breed. And because of how big they are they're prone to health issues, even more so when senior. So some of their behaviors might be because of pain.(not necessarily in this video)
I tell my kids and tiny old lady. To use their knee on the back hip lol well my kids use their hips it’s hilarious to watch. Because the dog could drag all three of them around, but looks to me and stays calm. I didn’t teach him that he just did it. We have a 6 month old English mastiff and Australian Shepard. He’s 85 pounds and probably prince size. Incredible smart and motivated dog but prone to distractions and willfulness
If I put him on a leash with a head halter, he’s going to correct himself, possibly hard. And his young brain isn’t going to learn from his corrections. If an adult dog want to attack a dog and give himself corrections, be my guest, but a young dog who just isn’t that smart (due to age) and wants to have fun, you’ve got to protect them from themselves.
@@BDTraining I understand now! Thank you! I have a young Irish setter who pulls. She was very bad around 6-7 months and used a head halter but I never jerked her with it on. She is doing better now about pulling but still leaves me (not paying attention). Maybe I need to be more patient and not as strict because Irish setters have very slow mental development? She just turned 1. Love your content! Thanks!!!
I payed attention to when u said that you would go to a prong collar with this dog, and that you weren’t even a prong guy. I’ve been trying to get my head around what option of collar I should use on the puppy I’m getting. And I can imagine that I should get different collars for different ages I don’t know. I know I can probably find videos about that in some other place but I really wanted to ask you if u have any video about that? I’ve just come around your channel and I find you very reliable so I really wanted to ask you. if you have a video about that could I please help me to find it? 😇🤪
i have nearly the same situation as the people who adopted the 6 y/o Dane. I will try the butt flip and see if I am strong enough to move him. Im still working on "down and to the side". Is there a way to get a 4 year old Dane to get along with cats/small dogs/young dogs?
I have two huskies and pulling is in their nature sadly. The new husky pulls a bit but she stops when i say HOLD! My boy leads her and he pulls hard all the time. He stops after a bit but the start is rough to say the least. The new dog resource guards food and toys but as a rescue I guess thats kinda normal. One week in with 2 huskies is definitely a challenge.
I use your methods to walk all my dogs and they work like a charm, but I'd like to ask does the same technique apply to a dog who is freaking out of fear (eg. wanting to pull and run away when hearing fireworks)? Not sure if I should be snapping my dog back into focus or letting her run to hide & feel safe
I agree, but it’s usually not sustainable, it’s not the main method, it’s a move to do in special situations or with extreme dogs, that’s what I meant by a “trick”.
When the collar is at the bottom of the neck its easier for the dog to pull, at dog shows they never have the collar at the bottom it's always high on the throat, easy fix! Prongs are like spurs for horses, you don't need them!
funny you say that, I switched to a slip lead placed high up behind the ears in the correct position. worked great to start with but a few months in my leash reactive schnauzer is already getting used to it choking him and doesn't mind as much.
I have a question for anyone really...My doberman is only 8 weeks old, I can tell he's still very much a puppy, and still a small guy. When will he start to really comprehend commands? He sort of knows sit and come, but seems to get bored with training that after about 10 minutes. He's already very good at going potty outside since I've been doing a schedule of going outside. I'd just like to know if he's still too much of a hyper, play all day, puppy or if I should wait for more rigorous training like walking on a leash when he's bigger. He's about 20 pounds at the moment. Thanks!!
Puppies have short attention spans. Keeping the sessions short is important, otherwise they get bored. Train for about 5-10 minutes and do several sessions throughout the day. Go through the same commands during each training session. Remember, repetition is key. Once your puppy has fully grasped the command, you add in another one. I started with sit first and once my puppy could do it consistently I moved on to down, and then eventually stay. Also, end the sessions on a positive note. Don't get frustrated with your puppy and then decide to stop training for the day. Training should be a fun and positive experience.
@@blueflare3848 thank you for responding! My pup is starting to grasp sit and come. I have him do a little nose touch to my hand before he gets a treat, and he's slowly learning to do it when I put a leash on him. Definitely a ball of energy tho, so getting him to routinely listen to a command is still hit or miss, but I expect that, lol
@@talonmiller9744 Both. I let my puppy walk off leash right away (I took her to a field, away from any roads) so she would be used to walking off leash and staying near me. At that age they should feel safest with you, so they're going to want to stay close. If worse comes to worst and they do run, they're small enough that you can catch them. A puppy is much easier to catch than an adult dog. I would walk her on the leash at the end of the walk to get her used to it, but I didn't start teaching her loose leash walking until a few months later (the main reason for this is because I got her in the winter. She didn't do well in the cold, so walks had to be kept short). I used corrective u-turns to teach her to walk on a leash and I couldn't be happier with the results. She walks beautifully on the leash. Right now I'm just working on getting her to stay in a heel around distractions.
@@talonmiller9744 My mistake, I misunderstood the question. I'll keep my first comment there for extra information in case anyone is interested. I personally trained my puppy off leash, in the house away from distractions. When they can listen and follow through with commands inside then you can start working with them outside in the yard where there are a few more distractions. You can train them on leash, and I would recommend doing so while outside, but on leash or off leash works either way.
This is not Dog Daddy's or Joel's technique either. They are both using Cesar Millan's touch methods and calling it his own. Cesar created the pressure point pokes to both the shoulder pit area and the rear side. He also created the hip flip and foot tap to the rear. Gives credit where credit is due! P.S. You should NEVER do leash pops/ jerks with a head halter EVER! They were never designed with that instruction. The proper use is directing with steering and light hand pressure to move the dog into turns, downs, and sits. Popping or jerking the head can and will cause damage to the skull and vertebrae. The design was taken from a horse bridle. You steer and lead a horse using directional pressure. Not snaps, pops or jerks!
I knew before he showed the tiny puller it was a frenchie 🤣 they're stubborn with big attitudes the issue I see comonly is people using retractable leashes which dosen't teach leash behvaior or practices. Retractable leashes are what 90% of people use and I hate them I usually bring a leash of my own (Im a dog walker/pet sitter/etc.)
My Cane Corso walks nicely on leash until she doesn't. Even on a Gentle Leader. I can't hold her, I'm lucky she's not aggressive to dogs and has no interest in people or cats. She gets "startled" and races back to the house. I'm sure she's faking it sometimes because she hates leaving the house. Off-leash at the dog park or beach, she's confident and never "startled". She's nearly two and only getting bigger and stronger - What to do?
to be honest the vast majority of these dogs can be trained to stop ignoring their owners if you mark their unwanted behavior with a loud NO and then bonk them (throw a rolled-up soft towel or little soft pillow at it). After the 2nd or 3rd time (most of the time even after the 1st time) they will start to pay more attention to the owner and understand what the word NO means. It has to be hard enough to get its attention. And to answer some of the obvious questions, no, it will not make the dog hand shy, and no, it will not damage the relationship between dog and owner.
Regretfully this tecnique can truly help but has proven limited to me and others i know, the dog may react at first but not on the long term and you don't want to do that to a dog twice every 5-10 min while walking. If you want him to check with you if this method doesnt work you will want to use it combined with motivation games using the clicker. It is not easy for you nor is it easy for the dog but if you persevere I now enjoy a dog checking with me-most of time - even can switch sides same result - good luck
Since im complaining. What about the coyotes? Dogs have been protecting flocks. For 1'000s of years. How come all of a sudden they can't My dogs are the best coyote dogs ever. There is no fight. The yotes know better. Everyone says coyotes will gang up on a strong confident dog. No they wont. Coyotes cant aford a single injury. Even in a pack. A few will be taken. Down. Coyotes are way too smart to let that happen. Im 63 years old. Never had a fence between my dogs and the coyotes. Never had a problem either. My alpha female kelly is a psycho bitch. She has us all well trained 😄
You have trained a lot of dogs I take it . Specializing in large giant breeds or reactive dogs . What’s you channel - love to see your techniques in action.
A dog lunging at anything it wants to is way is positive reinforcement for them, and more stimulating than treats. The idea that you can just ignore this behaviour is wildly dangerous.
What would be best for your dog would be if you understood dogs.If you understand dogs you understand that proper corrections are great for dogs and your relationship with your dog.
I'm assuming since you don't have a channel, and are just an average dog owner, that you do not own a large breed or a dog that isn't treat motivated. And I'm glad positive only works for you. It doesn't work for every dog, and those of us who have tried it and found it lacking find a lot of value in videos like these.
I deal with leash pulling with my dog. He will sit and wait when i stop, but then he bolts ahead again. Yes, more small dog sessions, please 🙏
Have you tried a gentle leader?
Just be more consistent.
@lone-wolf1248 yes that's right. He's gotten better but he needs a lot of repetition. I shorten the leash when I release him so he can't bolt. Just trying to get him to release calmly
@LookAtYoSelf I bought one, but he won't keep it on. He's a small dog like 13 pounds.
I taught my dog on lead to round up the chickens, and because they walk slowly and my dog was following them at a very slow walk, I started cueing it: good slow. She is a ball mad dog and will run all day, but at the park I can now say: good slow, and she will slow right down and walk beside me for a few minutes - the length of the yard to put the chickens away lol - they miss nothing!
Your butt touch method allowed me to gain so much control over keeping my 6mo old husky's attention without relying on treats. My family didn't understand until 3 days later when he was basically a different dog.
Joel, I've gotta thank you. Using your methods and your philosophy (plus a gentle leader), I have been able to walk off-leash with my 2 yr old male cocker spaniel 10+ blocks while crossing the streets in my metropolitan neighborhood in New York City. I literally started attempting off leash on walks only this week, and my dog's perfect - listens and follows everything and everywhere I move.
Not related at all, but I could watch Prince play all day! Doesn't matter if the dog is bigger or smaller than him, intact or not, he plays so well with any dog! Reminds me so much of my 13 year old labrador's younger days!
Hot damn they’re big and strong. Just this afternoon my Great Dane 8mo pup took me out, heels over head. I’m 6’7 230lbs and he did not slow down one bit. Went right through me.
Yes. This is a similar method to Dog Daddy. It really works! I shared this with my husband because we have two Great Dane puppies. I usually do the training but I'm laid up with a broken ankle and can't do my job for another 3 months.
This method works for so many situations- it's awesome. Thank you for explaining it in very easy to understand language along with the demonstration! I know this will work for barking and leash work
Ty Ty Ty Ty!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm no dog professional though I'd hazard a guess that the 'clink clink' of the collar has operantly conditioned (by accident) the dog to pull. I did the same with my sisters dog who'll pull even with a halti so I went to the slip lead for to provide a different stimulus and with your other techniques had great results. Keep up the great work Joel love your approach!
No...the dog pulls because they didn't use the collar correctly. They kept it tight...as Joel did...this encourages pulling. The collar must be "popped" along with a change of direction
@@RyanRoberson-gc1op Yes. I know how the collar works and what you explained yet that doesn't dispute what I said. The dog hears the sound (a stimulus) and pulls. The dog feels the collar tighten (another stimulus) they still pull.
@@unsaltedskiesActually it does...tou see if the choke collar was used properly the sound would let the dog know to stop pulling.
This video is excellent for large dogs. My friend had two large great Danes, and I Definitely sent this to her. She and her dogs now have a chance to live in the outside world. TYIA from her. 😊 Plus my GSD just like the one down same problem but with people.
This is the video I needed to see! I have a 125 pound female Irish wolfhound. She is about 5’10 on her hind legs and strong! She is fine on the leash until she sees people and other dogs.She gets so excited. Wants to meet them. She goes to doggie daycare and has a great time. Very sociable dog. I will work with her using the butt touch method.
Doggy day care is not doing your relationship any favors. She should be having a great time with her pack. That’s you!
Even Joel says no longer than 3 hours if you do do doggy daycare. Check out his Rottweiler named Creed video for the foundation video for loose leash walking and reactivity. He also has a walking tutorial that is particularly helpful. Hope that helps.
@@robinrutherfordcost4748 Thank you both for the information. I have been talking her twice a week for a few hours a day (thinking she needed playtime with dogs). I will reduce that time! Also, I am already seeing improvement a day later using the butt touch method!!!
I'm glad you actually mentioned prong collar as well as gentle leader because prong collars are fine if they're used correctly just like any tool. Wiith some dogs that have long necks, a gentle leader can be detrimental if not used correctly because it can cause a pinched nerve - I have personally seen this with a Golden Doodle.
Exactly, it's a training tool. Even e-collars can be useful training tools *_when used correctly_*. The problem is they're meant as temporary helpers, but some people see them as easy fix-alls or permanent punishment tools ready to use because they think it'll help them skip training. E-collars especially can fuck a dog up big time real quick when used incorrectly, and prong collars can injure and even kill dogs. I'm of the opinion that these should be considered specialty tools, akin to a medical prescription almost, and used only by trainers or under trainer guidance. Most people can't fit a standard flat collar or harness properly - as I can attest working in a veterinary clinic - and shouldn't be trusted with a device MADE to inflict pain.
Love seeing a small dog included here. Would be interested in more small dog content as well.
Me too! Especially the snoutless breeds like the Frenchie shown here. The Frenchies in particular seem so difficult... their skin is all loose and squirmy to grab, you can't get a gentle leader fitted, you can't do anything that could injure their throat, and they're SO low to the ground... Not a lot of intelligence or focus, and god forbid they like to run away on the go-get... I really think they seem 10 times harder than a large, intelligent working breed dog.
What do you mean by not a lot of intelligence or focus! My Frenchie and many other I have observed are quite the opposite.
Everything Joel does can be applied to all sizes of dogs.
Beautiful dogs. Beautiful yard (always so clean!!).
And tbh I had to laugh when you gave the perfume example 🤣😅 You’re so genuine, loving it!!!!
Yeah I use that example a lot because many people can attest to the powerful emotion causing (good or bad) effect of it.
@@BDTrainingJust fyi, you are making a very common mistake by saying: “I could care less” when the actual phrase is “I couldn’t care less”. You are actually claiming that you do care, to some degree instead of not caring at all. While it’s very common today that people say it the wrong way, anyone who understands the difference is going to think that the people saying it couldn’t care less about speaking properly. Perhaps you don’t care, in which case I apologize for wasting your time, but I felt that as a content creator you might appreciate the heads-up.
Great video! 🐕
MY biggest pet peeve was pulling on a leash when I had dogs. It was a huge no no. From young my Danes, Mastiffs, Labs, every one respect their necks and walked loose. We would be doing a lot of sit, wait, heal, sit wait, heal, sit wait heal. It makes you feel so good to have two calm Danes one on each side. And it helps that they are calm, for THEIR health. Keep it up. Saving dogs from their people, protecting them from other people.
Thank you so much Joel! ❤ I was literally thinking the other day "I need to watch more Beckman butt flipping videos because I can't see very well when he does it" and here you are with 4 different size, breeds, age dogs doing it and it's clear thank you I appreciate all your information you give ❤
i understand why youd be annoyed with any issues with camera work but honestly i feel like 98.% of the audience isnt coming here for cinematography and its understandable with your content. your crew is making good stuff
Yeah I wasn’t mad, she did a great job with a tough job.
What a beautiful Dane! Such a happy dog. I love watching happy dogs play!
Im just so proud of my Malonois crazy Daisy. She was a homicide looking for a place to happen. Thanks to your videos she is now a love monster
We go to the dog park every night. Honest to God the dog tells me about problems before they happen. God bless you.
This was helpful. I am dealing with fear pulling with a rescued hound so watching all the pulling and fear videos, would love to hear you speak on the combination. Thank you!
Sometimes I forget to Like the video & have to give myself a correction.
Funny how the great dane made Prince almost look like a mini.
LOVE that you showed some technique for the very small dog - thank you!!
A Great Dane being distracted 😂😂😂
I've been watching your vids since about August as I have a great dane/mastiff.
These vids have helped me so much. Thanks, bro. Seriously.
The camara work is fine Joel. Many thanks for teaching us.
I like how Joel suggests a prong. Even though he doesn't like them anything to help the dog.
Omg I watched one off training pulling on the lead and said you should have a training haltie for nose, and my bully doesn't pull at all walks by my side. Live is so easy for me and my bully. Thank you 😊
I really hope I can do this . I’m 67 yr old female and I have a 180 pound St Bernard , and the people next door has a dashound that has come after mind so now she’s always looking for that dog to come in our yard again.😱
You can do anything. The key is to be consistent and “mean it.” No messing around. Training is no shenanigans time! Make them question “Who is this person?”
Cheers 🤗
Dear Mr. Beckman I just wanted write and tell you how much I appreciate the videos you post on CZcams. I have learned so much with them. We adopted a 8 week old Golden in April and I have been watching your videos and implementing them in training our pup. We think your great and really good at what you do. If we lived out in California we would certainly look into having you help us with our Zoey. Thank you again for the videos. Alan Janes
you can at least send some money over to them for the help though..
Wow yes great demos of the buttflip! Would love to see more follow-up on that last Great Dane🐾❤️😊
Thank u for showing a great Dane, I have been hoping u would. And this one was perfect. I'm training my boy , Crowley
To be my service animal , for my needs and he's doing well. But sometimes he does pull . And I have been trying to see what I could do to help get that out of him . I'm using a gentle leader, and it helps but sometimes he still pulls and this is perfect ,,, thank you so much so much
I would appreciate more Danes if u can when u can . But thank you again
Thank you so much for this! Love your videos! We have 2 - 3/4 Eng Mastiff/Great Dane dogs, siblings. Dad was full Eng Mastiff, Mom was 3/4 Eng Mastiff/Great Dane. They are 6mo old and have reactivity on the leash. I had to switch to a prong color to practice on with them just so they would learn not to pull. They only pull a little bit now and again, but we're still practicing.
This technique you show here is great! I grab their collar when I see a person or people or dog bc I know they'll lunge or pull me (I'm small 😆, they're 120lbs) but I didn't think to do the butt thing. I just make them sit while I hold their collar, and I straddle them w my knees in their side. I think this way might prove to work better. Our male is the lunger.
Thanks again so much
I make my husband watch your videos bc he doesn't take me seriously 😅
I have used a prong on my husky because you know huskies...pull, pull, pull and go, go, go. No leash reactivity with dogs or people, no dominance or aggression, just bred to pull through snow for very long hauls. Once I learned about the gentle leader, I realized that I actually had more control and she knows it too lol. Walks are definitely improving and progressing, we only have set backs when I don't use the open door method before I take her for a walk or rain storms have prevented long walks for a few days. I think I need to incorporate the butt touch method because I have only done this a few times and she thinks this method is play time. Very intelligent, but so hyper and easily distracted. When she gets to run off leash with other dogs on a daily basis, she is much calmer and more attentive to me and training. Just wanted to share because I know we all struggle at times. ❤
Really enjoyed this video!
Your method’s with these larger, stronger breeds I personally think Is a fantastic idea!! 🖐🏼
I've naturally moved to holding my dogs collar instead of lead in high intensity moments as it's the only way I can really get a better hold of him, but i think too much trying to switch him around would antagonise him, as i try body corrections and he just wants me out of the way... i feel like i've tried everything under the sun with him but I'm still missing something. i've trawled the internet and taught other people how to train their dogs with what I've learned but i can't seem to train my own fully. he's much better at home for the most part but out of the house I may as well not be there sometimes - or at least that's what he thinks. I really appreciate your content and what you share because it was one of the first and only places I came across for training bigger dogs, that I felt could understand the complexity of his temperament... and that I'm probably trying everything I can. I found your page in a moment I really needed it 🤍
Thank you! No need to apologize and reassure people you are not hurting the dog. Unless they have had to deal with a reactive dog - like my reactive GSD - they have no idea how strong these dogs actually are. If a dog can drag one down the street, it can take the corrections - if given correctly. Your videos are helping me so much! Keep doing them, please! I don't live in California, otherwise, I would be bringing my dog to you :)
I’ve only watched the beginning of your video and the way you handle that dog wow. Your skills and knowledge is really amazing what I’ve seen so far 🎊
Thanks for the video. I house sat/dog sat a Great Dane once. Took him/Dino for a walk on a lead and before i knew what was happening, i was flying through the air as he LEPT over a cattle grid. And special mention for the Golden Retriever with 'get me the heck outta here' eyes. That butt flipping is an outstanding method....the timing and technique would take some time to master i'm thinking. 👍 Thanks guys, great to watch.
It takes less time than you'd think. One needs to be consistent and mean it. It's up to you on how long it takes, not the dog.
I have two Anatolian Shepherd mix girls almost 20 weeks old and we expect them to be 100+ lbs when they're grown. I seriously appreciate the giant breed videos!!! You are a lifesaver. We've talked about rehoming these dogs a few times because of the trouble they've caused and I don't think we would be able to keep them if it wasn't for your videos, thank you so much!!!
Also I'd like to credit myself, I've been obsessed with dogs and studying them my entire life, and training small dogs since I was 10 so I'm not a bad trainer.... But these two giant ladies are a whole new ballgame that I wasn't prepared for but it is an absolute blast and I love these big babies so much 😂💚💙💜
Don’t spay them at least until after 3 years old those giant breeds take that long to mature and need their hormones.Better not to spay at all.Are they littermates? Hope you are aware of littermate syndrome!!! Those big girls will be super difficult if you don’t take steps to overcome that HUGE hurdle.
@@OffGridDogs yeah I thought it was two years, but I'll do some more research to refresh my memory. Thank you for the advice!! My dogs do come from the same litter as well as my brother's two dogs and my uncle's dog, and a few of my mom's coworker's. Her coworker's parents own the mother dog. I also have a best friend whose family owns a shepherd/Pyrenees mix (ironically mine are also part Pyrenees lol as well as German Shepherd, Husky, Malamute, Malinois, and Coonhound, according to the DNA test but idk how accurate those are lol) so my best friend has also been giving me tons of advice on how to physically handle and train this giant breed. So far I admit it has been tough, which should be obvious I think, but it feels 100% worth it to me. They're my giant fur babies and I will do anything for their safety and happiness
Why would anyone who doesn't know about training get not 1 but 2 Anatolians? Fur babies?
@@RyanRoberson-gc1op it's funny how you assume I know nothing when I literally said in my comment that I've been training dogs since I was 10 years old lmfao 🤣😂 the dogs needed a home and my family provided a loving, safe, and caring home for them better than most people could. Do you know how hard it is to find a good home for dogs that huge? My parents and I wanted to take them in so we did. We're not idiots, thank you very much.
Ps: Don't be a dumb, judgemental, chronically-online asshole or risk making a fool of yourself.
@@RyanRoberson-gc1opThey owe you nothing! None of your business. Pretty rude to ask. Or, maybe you just woke up cranky and all full of yourself. Cheers, and have a better day. 🤗
Boy Danes are so gentle I have had such great success with leash pressure technique with multiple fear reactive Danes in boarding settings infact I would say they are one of the most receptive breeds when it comes to that (vs labs and pits for example)
Your methods aren’t “tricks” but…maybe a new term here: “houndsmanship” - sort of like horsemanship? It’s your meaningful and well-explained handling that makes the difference for us. Thank you!
In horses we disengage the hind quarters too. Works brilliantly!
It’s amazing all that was packed into a little over 12 minutes. Would have loved to see another 8-10 minutes of the dogs.
Btw seeing a “reverse angle” view of Prince meeting a dog was cool!
You need a chiropractor after working with such a big dog lol. Great advice as usual. Love this channel. !!
Just got 2 1.5 year old Great Danes. I had no idea how strong these dogs were. I’m 6’4” 240lbs and it took all my strength to keep one from dragging me on a leash.
Damn, it looks like that Great Dane has a giant swinging church bell for balls. Even Prince was impressed with them. He snuck in a couple of extra sniffs of those thing.
Was that German Shepherd shown towards the end? Looked like it was mixed with a Malinois, definitely had that dark face and a shorter coat
It seems very similar to teaching your horse to disengage his hindquarters when something happens. It’s a great tool for calming the mind. I use this on my leash reactive dog if I see he is building, works very well, he just turns then I step backwards and call him to me, he comes, wags his tail, I just reward then. Thanks Joel, it’s been great for helping me, sometimes I’ll even use my foot on my big dog, just push his butt around with it. I can do that faster than grabbing the collar when he has actually suddenly gone ‘off’. I then step backward, call him, and reward again.
I've seen a trainer use a 2 inch wide strap going around the dogs belly in front of the rear legs. This allows him to lift the legs off the ground and rotate the dog's rear toward the other dog. He was doing this with German shepherd and later using a smaller strap, which looked like a collar for a larger dog and a leash attached to it so he didn't have to bend over , he worked with a chihuahua. Both dogs seemed aggressive, but not the dog he was introducing them to. I only wondered if this was bad for the dogs back to be lifted this way.
He also wasn't using the method simply to keep the dog from leaving him, I think he would have been more effective if he had done that also.
His main goal was not to have his dog meet face-to-face with another, and also to allow the other dog to make his dog, face to rear.
I enjoyed the video.
I am going to try this! I have a Rotti that is great with a gentle leader but with out it, it is a whole different story. 😲Especially with squirrels and rabbits around. Thank you!
The butt-touch is dog language for "Pay attention! Act right!" A dog will often correct another dog this way. I can see why it's so effective for a trainer.
If the butt-touch correction given from one dog to another is ignored, humping is next. We've learned to intervene at the point of the butt-touch in socializing our dog.
My husky thinks it's play time 🤷♀️have to research how huskies play together...
Is that a Ridgeback? (Love this video!) I like your instructions; very easy to follow.
Exactly the video I needed right now. We've been doing the stop and correct method, which worked for taking down the energy, but he's still incredibly distracted on walks. This will help!
Go back to square one, take back control of getting him to pay attention to you. Square One is back in the house, training the Doorway Method all over again. Then once you and he have mastered that method, move on to the Loose Leash Method. Who is the boss in your house, you or him? Sounds like he is 😮! You can do it! Good Luck!
@@User7688.--_ Lol he's not the boss because I've let him be distracted on walks. His doorway manners are excellent, just distractions like cats and other dogs completely take his focus. And having another dog in front doesn't help, tbh, but I'm not always able to walk them seperately.
"We can allow SOME pulling". This is extremely important.
I'm a month in with this little guy. 25 walks. He still wants to pull, now it's 50 corrections instead of 1000 in one hour though, and 99% of the time he's beside me instead of in front. I was watching another guy today, he was like, fix pulling in 5 minutes or something like that, people should be told, most times that is not even close to realistic. Especially if they've been on the retractable leash before as well. ✌💖
Danes are amazing, I'm 6'5" and almost 300lbs and they are still a horse of a dog.
Gotta be the boss. I should put that on a T-shirt.
The distractor of pushing against the pull is very useful in my limited experience; a knee push at the ribs or hip keeps and a sharp shout works well. Get the dog to look at you for direction, then give him a "good boy".
The move by the owner at 1:37 scared me a little; hands over a dog's head are an invitation for a bite I think.
Great instruction.
Great information and as always very useful. I have a very strong shepherd mix and your videos have been a lifesaver!!
Nice tip!
Gentle Leader's are golden!!!!
Update. I havé an Irish Wolfhound and wow the changes that have taken place using this method! She looks at me instead of nearly yanking me out of my shoes!
Was at the beach just yesterday and had to use some of this "Jeet Kune Dog"! There's a guy that plays pick up volleyball where I play and he has a 100 lb 2 Y/O GSD. The dog will incessantly bark if his owner is out playing even though he can see him. Which drives most the rest of the group nuts so he will just bring the dog then take it home and come back.
I said I'll watch your dog if you'll allow me go play a game or 2. Dog was fine looking for his dad some but no barking til he walked towards after. I just kept him busy with his ball and some sits and ice for treats. The owner is a little softer when speaking even though he's a large guy. As I was giving commands another regular play says " that's probably the most direction that dogs ever had". This thing had a prong on it and it didn't phase him. But the combination of being ready and verbal correct with that collar did in the short time.
These big strong dogs need a firmer hand and voice especially if they've gotten away with a bit prior. That's what I get outta this video and slightly different approaches depending on size.
Now I just gotta get him to ditch the stupid extend-o- leash!
Sorry for the loong post hope the delivery didn't suck as much this time!
The great dane is big and powerful, but I still have trouble with leash pulling. My wife is very stubborn and even bites sometimes when I try to give her a correction.
Your wife? 😂😂😂
@@samharttripp Absolutely
No, it's not a trick. It's a very useful technique. Cheers, Joel.
interesting thanks
Joel, I don't call your methods tricks! They are tools to make me the alpha with a dog that is constantly challenging me for the alpha position. I get nothing but praise when we go out and other people see what Charlie does! Just like Prince, he is smart, but well trained. Your videos are the best or there!
alpha method is debunked many times
@@tomb.2224 either go home, or stay and learn how to play with the big dogs nicely, and not get hurt. Does that even make sense? 😳LOL
physiological understanding. i'm bingeing now. glad to be here and kudos Beckman
I miss our GD dearly...but I for sure do not miss the slobber.
Yes! I needed this video! My 4 yr old boxer stares down other dogs with every muscle in her body tensed.
Will this method work for correcting that behavior? What about at a park or a campground when approaching that dog (once calmed) is not an option for the reward?
Tell me about the second great dane atvthe end of the video. He has exactly the same markings as my boy...including the white face freckles...incl. round the eyes...what is this? Is it vitiligo?
Bro if your Great Dane is 7 years old and doesn't like dogs just be a good person... leave them be. This breed doesn't live long and this stress for an old dog is just useless. Dying at 7 isn't even that bad for this breed. And because of how big they are they're prone to health issues, even more so when senior. So some of their behaviors might be because of pain.(not necessarily in this video)
I tell my kids and tiny old lady. To use their knee on the back hip lol well my kids use their hips it’s hilarious to watch. Because the dog could drag all three of them around, but looks to me and stays calm. I didn’t teach him that he just did it. We have a 6 month old English mastiff and Australian Shepard. He’s 85 pounds and probably prince size. Incredible smart and motivated dog but prone to distractions and willfulness
Mark Hoppus if he was a dog trainer/comportementalist
Please do more videos with Frenchie please there behavior is so hard to dea with the leash reaction the pulling the unpredictability the house soiling
I am really surprised you didn't use a head halter for the big dogs like you do for extreme cases and to have more control. Was there a reason?
If I put him on a leash with a head halter, he’s going to correct himself, possibly hard. And his young brain isn’t going to learn from his corrections. If an adult dog want to attack a dog and give himself corrections, be my guest, but a young dog who just isn’t that smart (due to age) and wants to have fun, you’ve got to protect them from themselves.
@@BDTraining I understand now! Thank you! I have a young Irish setter who pulls. She was very bad around 6-7 months and used a head halter but I never jerked her with it on. She is doing better now about pulling but still leaves me (not paying attention). Maybe I need to be more patient and not as strict because Irish setters have very slow mental development? She just turned 1.
Love your content! Thanks!!!
I’m in a wheelchair so how do I do this while I’m in my chair? This seems a but complicated to do in a wheelchair
I payed attention to when u said that you would go to a prong collar with this dog, and that you weren’t even a prong guy.
I’ve been trying to get my head around what option of collar I should use on the puppy I’m getting. And I can imagine that I should get different collars for different ages I don’t know.
I know I can probably find videos about that in some other place but I really wanted to ask you if u have any video about that? I’ve just come around your channel and I find you very reliable so I really wanted to ask you.
if you have a video about that could I please help me to find it? 😇🤪
i have nearly the same situation as the people who adopted the 6 y/o Dane. I will try the butt flip and see if I am strong enough to move him. Im still working on "down and to the side".
Is there a way to get a 4 year old Dane to get along with cats/small dogs/young dogs?
I have two huskies and pulling is in their nature sadly. The new husky pulls a bit but she stops when i say HOLD! My boy leads her and he pulls hard all the time. He stops after a bit but the start is rough to say the least. The new dog resource guards food and toys but as a rescue I guess thats kinda normal. One week in with 2 huskies is definitely a challenge.
I use your methods to walk all my dogs and they work like a charm, but I'd like to ask does the same technique apply to a dog who is freaking out of fear (eg. wanting to pull and run away when hearing fireworks)? Not sure if I should be snapping my dog back into focus or letting her run to hide & feel safe
Its not a trick it is a device or a technique.
I agree, but it’s usually not sustainable, it’s not the main method, it’s a move to do in special situations or with extreme dogs, that’s what I meant by a “trick”.
@@BDTraining Love the videos, your training methods make a lot of sense to me, "one size" does not fit all.
Would a four foot, two foot or traffic leash be effective if holding the collar. One wrong twist of and my fingers and wrist would wrench.
When the collar is at the bottom of the neck its easier for the dog to pull, at dog shows they never have the collar at the bottom it's always high on the throat, easy fix! Prongs are like spurs for horses, you don't need them!
funny you say that, I switched to a slip lead placed high up behind the ears in the correct position. worked great to start with but a few months in my leash reactive schnauzer is already getting used to it choking him and doesn't mind as much.
Redirect with a touch.

@@vikingdogmanship Hey Freya!🙂
Back at you! HEY!🤗
🙏😊
Or-Walk your Danes on a tandem leash (shaped like a capital Y) with a trained dog: when it pulls on her- she’ll set him straight 😂
I have a question for anyone really...My doberman is only 8 weeks old, I can tell he's still very much a puppy, and still a small guy. When will he start to really comprehend commands? He sort of knows sit and come, but seems to get bored with training that after about 10 minutes. He's already very good at going potty outside since I've been doing a schedule of going outside. I'd just like to know if he's still too much of a hyper, play all day, puppy or if I should wait for more rigorous training like walking on a leash when he's bigger. He's about 20 pounds at the moment. Thanks!!
Puppies have short attention spans. Keeping the sessions short is important, otherwise they get bored. Train for about 5-10 minutes and do several sessions throughout the day. Go through the same commands during each training session. Remember, repetition is key. Once your puppy has fully grasped the command, you add in another one. I started with sit first and once my puppy could do it consistently I moved on to down, and then eventually stay. Also, end the sessions on a positive note. Don't get frustrated with your puppy and then decide to stop training for the day. Training should be a fun and positive experience.
@@blueflare3848 thank you for responding! My pup is starting to grasp sit and come. I have him do a little nose touch to my hand before he gets a treat, and he's slowly learning to do it when I put a leash on him. Definitely a ball of energy tho, so getting him to routinely listen to a command is still hit or miss, but I expect that, lol
@@blueflare3848 also, do you do training on a leash or let them free roam
@@talonmiller9744 Both. I let my puppy walk off leash right away (I took her to a field, away from any roads) so she would be used to walking off leash and staying near me. At that age they should feel safest with you, so they're going to want to stay close. If worse comes to worst and they do run, they're small enough that you can catch them. A puppy is much easier to catch than an adult dog. I would walk her on the leash at the end of the walk to get her used to it, but I didn't start teaching her loose leash walking until a few months later (the main reason for this is because I got her in the winter. She didn't do well in the cold, so walks had to be kept short). I used corrective u-turns to teach her to walk on a leash and I couldn't be happier with the results. She walks beautifully on the leash. Right now I'm just working on getting her to stay in a heel around distractions.
@@talonmiller9744 My mistake, I misunderstood the question. I'll keep my first comment there for extra information in case anyone is interested. I personally trained my puppy off leash, in the house away from distractions. When they can listen and follow through with commands inside then you can start working with them outside in the yard where there are a few more distractions. You can train them on leash, and I would recommend doing so while outside, but on leash or off leash works either way.
This is not Dog Daddy's or Joel's technique either. They are both using Cesar Millan's touch methods and calling it his own. Cesar created the pressure point pokes to both the shoulder pit area and the rear side. He also created the hip flip and foot tap to the rear. Gives credit where credit is due!
P.S. You should NEVER do leash pops/ jerks with a head halter EVER! They were never designed with that instruction. The proper use is directing with steering and light hand pressure to move the dog into turns, downs, and sits. Popping or jerking the head can and will cause damage to the skull and vertebrae. The design was taken from a horse bridle. You steer and lead a horse using directional pressure. Not snaps, pops or jerks!
Honey I shrunk Joel.
hello. what kind of collar he's (the first great dane) using?
A chain martingale
@@BDTraining thanks!
I knew before he showed the tiny puller it was a frenchie 🤣 they're stubborn with big attitudes the issue I see comonly is people using retractable leashes which dosen't teach leash behvaior or practices. Retractable leashes are what 90% of people use and I hate them I usually bring a leash of my own (Im a dog walker/pet sitter/etc.)
My Cane Corso walks nicely on leash until she doesn't. Even on a Gentle Leader. I can't hold her, I'm lucky she's not aggressive to dogs and has no interest in people or cats. She gets "startled" and races back to the house. I'm sure she's faking it sometimes because she hates leaving the house. Off-leash at the dog park or beach, she's confident and never "startled". She's nearly two and only getting bigger and stronger - What to do?
Find a trainer.
it's dog jitsu 😄
So much physical work. A prong would've done it in 2 mins lol
to be honest the vast majority of these dogs can be trained to stop ignoring their owners if you mark their unwanted behavior with a loud NO and then bonk them (throw a rolled-up soft towel or little soft pillow at it). After the 2nd or 3rd time (most of the time even after the 1st time) they will start to pay more attention to the owner and understand what the word NO means. It has to be hard enough to get its attention. And to answer some of the obvious questions, no, it will not make the dog hand shy, and no, it will not damage the relationship between dog and owner.
Regretfully this tecnique can truly help but has proven limited to me and others i know, the dog may react at first but not on the long term and you don't want to do that to a dog twice every 5-10 min while walking. If you want him to check with you if this method doesnt work you will want to use it combined with motivation games using the clicker. It is not easy for you nor is it easy for the dog but if you persevere I now enjoy a dog checking with me-most of time - even can switch sides same result - good luck
Since im complaining. What about the coyotes? Dogs have been protecting flocks. For 1'000s of years. How come all of a sudden they can't
My dogs are the best coyote dogs ever. There is no fight. The yotes know better. Everyone says coyotes will gang up on a strong confident dog. No they wont. Coyotes cant aford a single injury. Even in a pack. A few will be taken. Down. Coyotes are way too smart to let that happen. Im 63 years old. Never had a fence between my dogs and the coyotes. Never had a problem either. My alpha female kelly is a psycho bitch. She has us all well trained 😄
Danes are sooo goofy and floppy lol
Your glistening toned forearm was distracting me.
💪🏼😂
Remember, shhh. 🤫
I disagree with these methods. You don’t need to muscle a dog around. Positive training for the win.
You have trained a lot of dogs I take it . Specializing in large giant breeds or reactive dogs . What’s you channel - love to see your techniques in action.
@@Silkytoaster I'm just an average dog owner doing what's best for my dog.
A dog lunging at anything it wants to is way is positive reinforcement for them, and more stimulating than treats. The idea that you can just ignore this behaviour is wildly dangerous.
What would be best for your dog would be if you understood dogs.If you understand dogs you understand that proper corrections are great for dogs and your relationship with your dog.
I'm assuming since you don't have a channel, and are just an average dog owner, that you do not own a large breed or a dog that isn't treat motivated. And I'm glad positive only works for you. It doesn't work for every dog, and those of us who have tried it and found it lacking find a lot of value in videos like these.
