It always amazes me how just with a person's energy a dog will change it's personality.

This dog shows very interesting behavior.. so confident with the owners, then looking terrified with Joel. I think a tale of two dogs definitely describes.. thank you again to Joel and the owners for teaching us.

Even after that jerk move of peeing on his mom, Joel still brought the best out of this dog, look at him paying attention to his owners talking at the last shot of the video, just so good

I’ve quietly watched nearly all your videos. You are exactly right and, to a Brit, have such a great sense of humour! 👍

"The idea is for the owner to be like me" That sums it up 😂

Dude, I wish your vids were, at least, an hour long. You're so good to watch and I've learned sooooooooooo much - about my dog AND about me. There really is a "new dad/mom in town" 😉. Thank you 😊

good job to the owner for bringing his massive young dog to Joel, the session rocked that dog's world for the better, and I sincerely hope the owner will be "New Dad... All the time", thank you Joel

Not sure why people are so down on these owners. He took instruction well and they were seeking help. Noone knows what is like to have a highly reactive till they get one. You learn to suspend judgement on owners very quickly.

Teaching people is the hardest part of dog training. When my husband and I got our current dog, he rarely followed-up with commands. He'd call her to come, lure her in with a treat. If she didn't come or figured he didn't have a treat, he wouldn't follow up. "She doesn't understand, she doesn't speak English," was one of the ways he justified the behavior. I had to keep telling him to "make her come" so she'd learn the word and respect his authority.

I’ve watched almost all of your videos and I’ve never laughed so hard as when you said “there’s a new dad in town and he ain’t to be messed with. Like I’m in a western or something” thank you for that 😂 but seriously I’ve been watching your videos for years and finally got my own puppy a couple months ago. I get comments all the time on how “good” he is at 7 months old. I give you all the credit. Thank you!

This is exactly what happened with my Pit when I first got him at about 1.5 years. He acted crazy and aggressive UNTIL he met the trainer. He had me put a prong collar on him, with a leather leash and said, “now hand me the leash “ As soon as my dog realized this strong secure guy had the leash, his tail went between his legs and he almost went into a crawl. I was stunned. My dog was a fearful faker.

This is such an interesting video- so crazy how different that dog is with his owners vs with Joel. When Joel handed the leash back to the owners- bam! Instant change in body language from that dog. Just goes to show how different energy level, assertiveness etc can really effect a dog’s behavior.

You are as great with dog owners as you are with dogs. Impressive. You genuinely want to help the owner and it shows even through the video

12:25 🌾🌾 Joel for Sheriff! 🤠😅🌾🌾🐎🐎🐄🐄🐄😂

Good on the owners for trying to get ahead of things! This is a beautiful and massive dog! No way would anyone want things to get worse as he gets a little older. Its a lot to have a dog that soze catch a person "off guard" when just walking. As strong as the owner is it just takes 1 second for that big boy to yank a grown man off kilter. It seems that hes just insure of a lot of things being young just seeing his body language with you having the leash. He wasnt really even auper interested in Prince when the fence wasn't in the equation. Just looking all around. Hopefully with more socializing and structure he'll fall in the happy middle. Too strong of a dog to let go by the wayside and let someone find him at a shelter. Glad these people care enough to find a solutionand or middle ground and change some things gor rhe better.

This was a GREAT VID!!!!! The fact that the dog tamped down sooo much with you Joel shows that the dog is trainable! I love your pep talks to the people! The guy IS a different dad now! What you said to him was fantastic!! I'm not a trainer but run a lot in the neighborhood and walking my dogs this is the main problem I see--people just need instructions on how to be the boss. It helps the dog and it helps in other aspects of peoples' lives too! Thanks for doing this!!! 🐾❤️🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wow! This dog’s so interesting how he changed like that.

So grateful for people like you guys who share this knowledge. I’ve had big dogs all my life, but I never realized how much I didn’t know until I met a few trainers and started watching videos like this. Can’t say thank you enough for the education! You explain and break things down so it makes sense from not only our perspective but the dogs as well. You’re also very respectful about it, I’ve noticed a lot of trainers I’ve met are kinda jerks about things lol.

Only get a pit bull if you are harder than a pit bull

People get these serious-looking massive breeds to try and look tough.. And then they get pulled around, barked at and peed on by that dog, bamboozled as to what to do. Always fascinating how the dog trainers re-train the owners to talk, stand and walk just as much, if not more, as they train the dogs. Such a great video 👏

4th… this was interesting!! you don’t mince your words but you do explain the necessity to be a certain way with this type of dog!! Love it!! 😁👍

People don't get this. I'm 130 pounds and have a 80lbs pitbull. Yeah he blows me off at times but he stops/sits if I have to come get him. Because he's got respect for me. See the reason (like with the person we bought our house from) real working, more specifically hunting dogs, are kept outdoors is so that they don't desensitize from our lifestyles. We have a kennel building at the very back where his were kept. With hay food and water dishes, collars, leashes still there, kennels a run and open dog doors. With that living situation they don't get used to our constant noise and emotional extremes, nor the incredible array of smells, etc. Point being is that dogs are far more tuned into our emotions than we are, hence psychiatric service dogs being a thing if you're acting confident like joel chance are your dog will relax. Big difference vs aggressive though

Thanks for sharing. Love to see your dedication, patience, compassion, understanding and love expressed in the training sessions (also 'new dad in town' - great stuff: funny but very true and very needed!)

Nice point: calming your dog but also build confidence

MAN that was a wild change! 100% accurate video title.

GORGEOUS American bully!! I have a female that is almost his twin, and she’s also a bit big for her britches (at just 10 months) ! I can’t wait to see what you teach these owners in this session.

Nice - I like seeing how you instruct/ inform the owners

I just saw Victoria’s Stillwell video and her “fix” for an aggressive dog was to literally rehome it. It is so freaking embarrassing to see someone like her “ALL positive and treats with dangerous dogs and has almost 2M subs . But Joel actually FIXES the problem or some cases does his best to the point I bet with that other dog it wouldn’t need to be rehomed. Joel u deserve millions of subs man . The world is becoming to soft . I felt bad for the owners and for the dog within that Victoria stillwill video

Love the way your train the dogs.

My sister had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, a big, goofy sort. He got along with everybody, however, one time someone stopped them to talk on a walk and he peed on the guys leg. She had no idea why he did it. Additionally, our Malinois was a fairly well behaved dog. One day he actually growled at someone, and it was so out of character we couldn't believe it. Granted, it was at a flea market, and the guy was coming in behind us to look at something. Still, although we felt that was a possible explanation, we didn't take him anymore. I guess it goes to show you, that you have to be aware and have control of your animals at all times. It's for their safety as well as others.

“A new dad in town” mad me laugh but somehow true though , needed to happen, your such a great, dog by dog , situation by situation trainer ,excellent to watch , thanks gain

Joel youre so funny for the part where you saod "i cant believe some of the stuff i say sometimes" haha thank you for sharing that thought 😂 great video as always, that dog is huge! Very important to have a handle on fear.

Very helpful for my Alapaha mix dominant female, thank you!

Dude Joel is getting buff.

Kudos to the owner, coming to you BEFORE this dog becomes a four-legged fiasco..

Marvelous. This is the way Behaviorism (ABA) was meant to be used. Keen observation and assessment skills........

Prince is such a G'boooy

My boyfriend and I rescued a 1 yr old intact German Shepard. He's in love with my boyfriend. He's great with me too, but really loves him! I had to tell my boyfriend to correct him off of me bc he was protecting him. Finally got my boyfriend to do it and now he's stopped! The dog has to be corrected by the person they are protecting for it to really be enforced. He was caged the 1st year of his life, and the owner was scared to death of him. He's amazing now and a father and a leader of the pack with the best temperament for the job!

Interesting case, and also a very common situation with most young adults (humans and dogs 😂), got to remind them they don’t rule the world 😂 Prince remaining unfazed is so cool to watch..!

I am commenting at 5:03. I always appreciate the grace you are willing to give. "A dog isn't always one thing." Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, there are no absolutes, except that there are no absolutes. It also ties into the owner as well which I think you would agree (you don't comment on the video at this time, I will continuing watching and see if you have anything more to add sorry if I jump to conclusions), he is giving corrections, but it is also clear to me (as of 5:03 in the video.) that the owner is still unsure of what is okay and what isn't. The owner needs to arbitrarily tell the dog what is and isn't OK, because they are the owner and the dog needs to know that what is and isn't OK comes from their owner.

Idk the "New dad in town" sounds great. Could make a good merch punch line too lol😂😂😂

There's a new dad in town: Beckman's Dog Training

Ughhh I love prince so muchhh.

Great video.

Another great video...

Keep going man you're deserved million subscribers ❤

omg i have been looking everywhere for a video like this. My dads wife have a chihuahua who is suuuuper submissive around people he knows. Like you can point at him and he'll be on his back in a split second. And on leash he is suuper "confident" or what to call it and is leash reactive. So i hope this vid will be helpful :3

This is why bully breeds have a reputation for unpredictability. Their temperament is wildly inconsistent and people dont know how to track it or control it because they've been lied to by the public that this is the best family dog. "it came out if nowhere" 🥴

I dont even own a dog, algorithm takes me and im stuck. love watching ur videos

Completely off-topic here but you have such a beautiful yard and the fence in the upper portion of your yard looks so dry and the wood will probably begin to rot out fast. You really should stain/paint it soon so that beautiful fence stays looking nice and lasting several more years because I’m sure it was not cheap. Love these videos.

I love your channel so much, and I just adore Prince. I had a dobie growing up, and Prince is such a handsome perfect boy. Prince is an absolute king of dogs and so beautifully respectful and responsive. I won’t post what I honestly think about this pit’s behavior but I will say I see this *far* too often with pit adopters (the woman keeps giggling when Joel points out correctly that he has a huge head and massive body and bite strength - these things are not funny yet she giggles when he’s fixating and lunging), and his extremely intense fixations on Prince (and he’s only a year old?!), his growling and lunging, the urinating on the owner (I know Joel won’t say it but that’s very disrespectful), and they don’t seem to be aware that he is constantly trying to get his muzzle off, and I don’t think they have a good idea what they will be dealing with in another year…just yikes. Thank you Joel for putting in hard work and being honest.

That's way too much dog for most families. I really don't understand why anyone wants a dog this big & strong.

What dog messed up your deck fencing? Has to be recent I have never noticed it before. Anyways the fact that we have a different dog when you take the leash tells us a whole lot about him and his life at home. But it also tells us a lot about him being very capable of being a great dog with the right approach. Owners definitely need to let him know though that he is not the boss. As of right now, he thinks he is when he is with Mom and Dad.

Correct them Bull Moves folks. Seriously though what a great channel.

Joel do you ever give the clients specific instructions on how to give the dog structure and set and enforce rules? That goes along way toward helping with their necessary attitude change.

I took one look at the owners and knew they were not meant to own one of these.

New viewer here! I love your work. It’s intuitive and smart and effective. Question: are there ever any instances where you recommend a client spay or neuter their dogs for behavioral reasons?

Quite the intro😂

I believe it's the muzzle that made him change his attitude. He realized he was getting nowhere wearing the muzzle.

Im curious how often does the handshake method work? Im not sure ive ever seen a difference from these videos

That thing is a BEAST!!!! My Pitbull is not that wide lol

I love Prince❤❤❤

This is clearly more a case of training the owners.

Ooof I would like to see a "tail reading" with dogs that have fully curved to their back/side tail, like mine (Mudi breed) 👀 coz I see and understand everything I see here & what You explain accordingly (stiff tail etc), its just much harder to read that part of their body language with a curly tail 🤔

I have 5 rescue dogs my 90lbs pitbull is the easiest happy dog..my rat terrier is driving me nuts she is aggressive

Hey cowboy you’re hilarious

I would love to see more vids of this breed XL American Bully. I have one, beautiful dog, but she's so big, nobody wants to play with her off leash except my big lab. She always jumps up on the back of his shoulder and runs around him in circles. What can I do about it? Thanks for any advice.

Exactly. Great job

So will you to be doing another session with this dog off muscle with Prince?

If he's nervous of joel, and too free with the owner, what happens if Joel and the owner hold hands, and hug and hold the leash at the same time???

He might not be into you touching him, but I strongly suspect that if done right (particularly if you had lowered your height), it would have brought him up much faster with you. You could have went from petting demeanor at his level and transitioned back to more stern level (though less forceful) at the upper level and he would have probably taken to it well.

I learned from your point about him peeing on the mom, also that he is strong but sensitive.

Woah woah woah I'm only 5 seconds in and the dog just PEED on their owner...? Wow that is wild to say the least.

A great talk over of dog behaviour again.This is my 10month Dobe. Except he bites me when bold. I can't do what Joel does but can come up with ways I can manage if I understand. Yes, get strong! Plus melatonin. It has reduced my dogs reactivity by 80% but has no sedation.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌

Only dog I've ever encountered that would purposely just walk up on a dog or human and take a leak was a super dominant A-hole of a Husky. Total bully of a dog, would literally push dogs to the point of fight or flight. If they were flighty, hed continue sometimes until it was him biting. Been quarantined several times for it. Wouldn't listen to the owner half the time. If the other dog was either "even keel" or just confident the Husky didn't even bother messing with them. He did it to my rottie mix when he was young, my boy jumped put from underneath, on the Husky's back, stood his ground and it never happened again. Long story for peeing on people, but i dont think this guy is that. It looks like he just didnt no what to do and was nervous.

is prince an european dobbie or an american dobbie?

It seems there is a common factor with alpha dogs and their owners. I've noticed in many of these videos, on here and other channels, the owners seem to be very timid and/or oblivious to basic dog obedience. begs the question on why choose such powerful dogs?

One-year old and un-neutered to boot. He's a seething mass of testosterone. Half the issues this couple is having with their dog would IMO go away if the dog were neutered. Peeing on the female owner...wowza, that is just outta control!. I fail to understand why these owners that come to you with dog problems don't consider neutering them as part of the process of getting that behavior under control. Wondering if this is discussed with owners during sessions? Just to relate a personal experience: I adopted a beagle husky mix and kept him intact until he was a year old to ensure that those parts of his development that relied on hormones were complete, and then I fixed him. in the months leading up to that I had to endure him peeing on EVERYTHING: me, my couch, my stereo system, and on store inventory when I took him into places that allowed dogs, plus I had negotiate aggressive behaviors toward other dogs, humping, excessive sniffiness, etc. Within weeks of the neuter, all of this crazy behavior stopped. I wish that part of the commentary about these dogs would address the issue of intactness and its effects on behavior and what motivates owners to want to keep an intact dog if they have no plans to show or breed the dog.

Why oh why do these people get strong willed dogs when they don't exude the strength and confidence neccessary to show the dog who is in charge?

Why I like female dogs. Pee on the ground, not the patio furniture the fence posts, corner of the house.

The audio need to be louder

you say all "youve done" but the muzzle is not the owners idea. I believe training can be done without muzzles.

That's not a Pitbull btw, its an XL American Bully. There are big differences in size and temperament.

I'm not one to brag or think I'm above correction. I have a Great Dane mixed German shepherd and I have many issues with him. One issue I don't have though is being the alpha. I will not in any way accept my dog trying to be the leader or disciplinarian of our house. With that being said I feel he struggles with his role and place in line. He knows he is not number one and not number two. However he constantly fight for 3rd position between my other dog and our child. Not aggressively, but mentally and with the little dog games they play.

That is the biggest Pit Bull... I've ever seen.

That's a massive "pit bull", I would not be surprised if it has some American bulldog in him.

I wonder if the owners have had that dog since it was a puppy......because it looks like it might have been abused, which is why it was so fearful when someone else (a male) had the leash. Maybe.....

That's not a Pitbull. Pitbulls max out at 60 pounds. Otherwise, excellent video.

The Dog is scared of that trainer, what he did with him before he get the leash. in minute 9:12 he is touching the dog and you can see how scared he is. that has nothing to do with that good trainer

Fast baby 90

The best way to feel confident around a pit bull is for it to be a corpse.

My rescue pit bull from the humane society is a teddy bear. Likes to cuddle 🧸💖

First thing to do is neuter that strong dog. Now he is only a teenager, it could get even worse when he is older. 😮

that is not a puttbull. I work wotoh pitbuttls ever day. that is a mix. . I'd let him be out sound for 4 hours before i'd me ready to go

Thats not a pitbull

Воспитывать надо собаку - кто за ?

Glad I don't own that dog

I would have wacked him so hard for peeing up my legs! Gah!

There's 2 types of people that own pitbulls: the softhearted ones that rescue and have no idea what they're doing, and then brag that they rescued a pitbull and it turns into an untrained nightmare, or the ones that get one to look cool and do next to no training and it also turns into an untrained nightmare. Glad this couple decided to seek your help because without it, it definitely seems like they are the 2nd type of people.
