    I've got a German Shepard (almost 2yrs), and I am almost in this *exact* situation right now, with trying to get her to be chill around other dogs (plus not being over-protective) and *getting used to the gentle lead*
    I'm weirdly so glad to see that another dog acts this crazy in precisely the same way as her, because she's also super stubborn (and I'm very impatient😅), so it's actually really encouraging to see you work through it a bit 👍

    He is 100% boxer for sure - I used to walk 4 of them off-leash every day - it was quite the thing! Fyi, an EZ walk harness does not work with boxers because they bounce everywhere so you might ne able to stop them from going forward but they'll just bounce and pull sideways and backwards - I know from experience

    We gave our dog a very slow introduction to the gentle leader.
    We held it in front of him and hand fed him through it, all his food through the GL hanging from our other hand.
    Then week two we flopped the GL over his neck and fed him by hand. By week three he was asking for the gentle leader so he could be fed, then we buckled it up.
    Our dog was a very insecure rescue dog, easily spooked.
    It's very important they are conditioned to love wearing the GL or it can end up in a spiralling pattern of aversion to it.
    We had another dog that would go into an alligator "death roll" and spend ages figuring out how to remove it. This spoiled it's relationship with both the lead and the GL.
    Joel seems to be able to dominate a dog into submission, he is incentivised to do this because of his need to address things immediately.
    If you are a smaller woman or frail and you have a bigger breed than this boxer you might consider taking things more slowly so you shape rather than overpower your dog's desires.

    • @indiesoulnaomi
      @indiesoulnaomi Před měsícem +4

      The thing is that Joel did mention the better way to introduce the halter like you said with using treats overtime BUT this is probably a one hour session and these clients need to nip this behavior in the but sooner than later. He’s also still using treats when hank gives up the fight so there is no aversion that he’s gonna have to it. Especially because as Joel mentioned this is a very happy go lucky dog, and clear from his body language so a head halter is not gonna make him insecure, he needs that little bit of struggle. The rest of his life is just fine. A fearful dog of course would be a different approach but he’s a different case. He’s a dog that you just have to get right to it. It’s leadership and clear communication not dominance.

    Hi Joel, when I trained my dog to put a Halti Head Collar on, I held a treat at a position where she had to put her nose into the Halti to get it. Luckily she is very food motivated. I only had to use a treat a couple of times before i had no trouble putting the headcollar on whatsoever. That's probably because after i put on the Halti, we go for a walk. So she associates the headcollar with going for a walk now. She likes going for walks even more than food. I trained her to walk on a lead originally with a check chain and she learnt well and reasonably quickly. However, if she hadn't been walked for a few days, then she would be so eager to go for a walk that she would pull a bit for the first 500m before resuming good walking on a lead. i got sick of giving constant lead corrections in the first 500m of walks that I bought the Halti and it worked very well, very quickly and made walking a pleasure from the get go. I only have to give her a very occasional flick on the lead now in the first 500m to remind her to walk nicely. My dog is relatively well behaved with me apart from that issue.

    You are so right and have obvious compassion. My dog needs help. Our behaviorist tried the gentle leader and it really didn’t work out well. I’ve stuck with the keeper collar (prong collar).
    At the pet hotel they use slip leads and he doesn’t like those. He had problems and lunged at another dog then they corrected him and he bit the pet hotel handler . Not too serious a bite
    Is it because they used the slip lead?

    0:26- Hank licks 50% of the camera to say " you wanna party? I wanna party!"
    0:54 Hank "bounds" towards another dog
    1:05 analysis of Hank. Joel says he lets him bound more to analyze things but in reality he knew " this is where he F'd up" Hank wasn't being stopped. Too quick. Too strong. Too much.
    1:59 Hank "bounds" again and learns his "bound-aries". Joel took the last 2 bounds "personal".
    2:54 50% more impulse control after Joel taking things personal..
    3:13 Joel gives a slight leg flip, Hank then sits. At this point Hank "knew he had F'd up" he doesn't want Joel to sweep the leg so he sits. (Learned helplessness kicks in)
    3:31 Hank pulls to Prince, Joel disguises it as him letting him do it, in reality Hank had taken the leg flip personal,Joel knew there was no stopping him
    6:05 Treats, Hank loses his mind momentarily
    6:30 put on there nose and givem treats, put it on their nose and givem treats
    8:12 Hank seems to be like he just came down off a crack bender the night before
    9:04 Hank is calm
    9:24 more treats to reinforce being calm
    10:27 3 steps =treats and more fighting the leader
    11:35 more reinforcement with treats
    12:13 the final reinforcement with pets from Mommy

    Boxers, what can I say, super high energy and can definitely be a bit crazy. They absolutely need exercise and discipline. The good thing is that they are usually super sweet and friendly. Unfortunately, I know for a fact that many of them end up in abusive situations and I can only guess its because of their very hyperactive personalities.

Watch a lot of different vids of Joel's on loose leash walking--this conditioning was unusually difficult. Takes a while to get the hang of both the Gentle Leader and the Loose Leash method so just keep trying and just watch at least one vid a day--I can avow it'll be lifechanging. ❤️🐾

      then there is the opposite, positiv reinforcement... no one doing this is interested in communication either. taking advantage of dogs survival instinct, communicating zero.
      both sides starting a war against each other... is that the best for dogs?! learn their language, study it, learn how to tell them things by communicating. we have the brain and everything we need to study them. how the hell can science and research come to the conclusion positive reinforcement is the way to go? its ridiculous.

      @@Armorakc ye sry, it wasnt against u, i ment it in general :D dont take it personally.
      i believe there is. i also believe that dog training is far behind than it should be, but thats a global problem.
      Think about it... isnt every method, every way of training, no matter if its methods, if its positive reinforment, if its balanced training, the reason to use that kind of training, all kinds of training, is caused by the lack of understanding dogs. because in the end, its still force.
      the only way to let the dog do what we want in a free will, is by communicating with him.
      but people dont want that cause it will take a longer time and people dont have the time for it or dont want to do it cause they are lazy. they want dog trainers to fix the problem.
      i mean, would we be okay if we treat humans that way? only because we dont understand that human?
      giving a child treats everytime it did good? or forcing a child? we dont do that because we can communicate with the kid.
      i think its very sad how we treat dogs.
      dont u think a dog should have a free will to decide if he rather want to do something or not?
      sure in the end, the dog is doing what we want, but communication is the only way where the dog decides to do what we want on his own.
      if we go in live in a foreign country, we learn the language so we can understand and communicate with people. why cant we do that with dogs?
      research and science must focus on that. thats what im criticising. people dont know, so i cant blame them, dog trainers could know that, but they waste their time with their methods and learning more about their methods, instead of learning dog.
      if science would go in the communication direction, trainers would adept to it (like positive reinforcement did, its based on science).
      there is one more problem and thats the owners. most of them just want a dog cause their lonely, or they wanna start a family and wanna know if they are ready so they start with a dog, or they want a best friend to cuddle with etc. and if there are problems, they want it fixed fast. they dont have the time, or are to lazy... but we have our dogs 12 years or more. its family, we are in a relationship with the dog. so make time and learn it the right way.
      no time and lazyness is the reason why dog training is what it is today. it has to be a fast and easy to fix. thats what people want. they dont care what the dog is telling you, cause the dog has to be what we want him to be.

    The problem with a halti on a boxer is with the short nose.

A gentle leader might be better because it's thinner material.

    I definitely would love for you to help me with my dog. I watched your videos. It's been so frustrating to the point I'm learning to use the ecollar on him. My dog is stubborn. I've tried to go get method. He's part gsd and heeler. He has so much stamina lol I'm saving up for a session with you.

      @TheWeirdo1337 yeah I paused on it. I've seen his videos. I know he hates them. But I'm really running out of options with my dog. Ecollars can be useful if used correctly.

    So question. If in a situation where a dog fight between two big males is likely to happen, is it better to have a gentle leader or a prong collar? I know your opinion on progs Mr Joel, and I share it, but I'm concerned about my dog's ability to protect himself with a gentle leader on his face. Any thoughts?

      I have been cornered multiple times on walks by another giant male who wants to fight my dog. We live in the same neighborhood, and there is no avoiding this contact. My dog doesn't want to fight, but he will to protect me.

      Dogs are pretty F'n tough. I mean don't put a head halter on a 75' flexy leash let them get to full speed and then try and hold your ground. That'd be cruel.itd be like face masking in football at that point. The idea here is use what you need, use it in a safe and logical manner. Eventually, hopefully learned helplessness will kick in and you won't need it. It's a means to an end to get the dog under control so you can get thru things like walking and teach behaviors while on the walk. Slowly transitioning out of using it would be the end goal. Depends on the dog and a lot on the human.

      Definitely don't show him this video.
      You can explain that with the head halter, we walk with a short leash so that the dog doesn't have the opportunity to get much in front or lunge. If we don't give them that opportunity, then there's no risk. You can explain that we never correct a dog or use negative reinforcement with the head halter cause that's dangerous. You can also explain that any collar (even a flat collar) can potentially be dangerous if used wrongly.

    You only "fix" things that are not working or are broken. If everything is in functional working order and you remove bits that make it stop working, you're not fixing anything; you're breaking it.
