"He cant bark at her, does she look like someones breaking into his house? This isn't even his house!!" 😂😂

I need a T-shirt with "I'm chill, but sturdy" on it.

Lupo was just complaining that the treats stopped coming. He was like, “You can stay as long as you feed me.” lol 🤣 🤣 🤣

This totally worked for my street-rescue rednose! Changed our lives! Now everyone wants to pet him when we go for walks! We still need to work on ppl on bikes & scooters but we'll get there🐾❤️

I love that he is firm with the dog. I think a guest who is being growled and barked at would also be more at ease if they saw the owner reacting like this and correcting the behavior. Unfortunately many people don’t really know what to do and actually pet praise and feed dogs treats while they growl and show aggressive behavior, expecting that it will calm them but it actually reinforces the behavior.

This was really well done. Love the set up to fail in a controlled environment, loose leash, but also the positive results to nervous situations in having the guest give treats for positive behavior. Loved the whole video

My dog is also reactive to guests coming into the house or even onto the yard. (He's a very good guard dog and takes his job seriously) My job is to teach my dog to turn it off on command. We are still working on it but he's slowly getting better. I have found it helpful to have guests alert us when they've arrived so that I could put my dog in his crate with leash on because he just gets too excited. After guests have arrived, Georgie stays in his crate until he has calmed down. (No more barking and lying down) after he's calmed down I walk him with leash and hand to where he can see the guests. If he gets too excited we keep distance. After he calms down, He's allowed to sniff the guests while the guests all ignore him. After he gets to know the guests he starts to get comfortable and guests get to give him treats but I always advise not to stop and stare into his eyes for too long as it makes him nervous. He's been doing great. I'm a musician so I have jams and rehearsals at my house a couple times a week. We've been going through the whole routine but the routine is getting shorter and shorter and now 5 minutes into rehearsals he's lying on the floor chewing on a bone. Yay!! It's a process but consistency pays off.

That was excellent how u pointed out the dog body language---the check-in & the ears perking up. Please keep pointing that stuff out

I followed IMMEDIATELY on his no nonsense approach. I feel like some training rely solely on positive reinforcement and ignoring the unwanted behavior. But dogs understand discipline too (not inflicting pain, that is abuse). I have seen videos of mother dogs correcting her pups poor behavior and there was no ignoring the behavior there lol.

I'm a new subscriber by the way. Love your up front approach to training. Thanks for your videos

Love the way you explain and show how to train the dog step by step!

This is 100% my dog except in the home. same method is tough when out and about.. but thank you ill try this! Turns have worked great though so far. Thank you for all your content!

What about a dog who does not pay attention to treats/commands when the guest is over? I've had my two dogs ignore anything I give them when I managed to keep them sitting and quiet for a few seconds before they bark again. As long as a guest is in the house they don't want treats and will even ignore my recalls even though they are otherwise good with that.

I have a dog in my families house that belongs to my brother and sister n law. She's a very sweet dog and was given up by a friend of theirs. She has severe separation anxiety that has gotten worse over the years. She also barks at every single person who approaches the house, walks on the deck, walks sometimes out of a room, or if she hears something outside at a neighbors house. She barks at my family or anyone she knows who comes onto the deck/walks into the house. She likes getting to know new people but seems super intimidating if you don't know her. Her hair is one end and she goes stiff initially and her barking even sounds very aggravated? I don't know how to explain but we love her to pieces. I do know exercise and also probably some other things could help her. They have tried a vibrating collar it only worked for so long, they tried saying no, be quiet and every time she is quiet when someone approaches which is SUPER rare, I do praise her for being chill. I just am wondering what other options could we do?

Thank you! I needed this.

This is so helpful, thank you! We’ve been trying to find the right balance with our rescue of improvement with commands etc but also with overcoming some of the stuff that’s very fear based - this is a really good blend of the two. Also, “does she look like she’s breaking into his house? THIS ISN’T EVEN HIS HOUSE” really made me laugh 😂

Yes I so needed this ! Thank you !

Thank u for all your work and explanations very helpful

Actually, she did move the first time. She waved her hands like “see? Nothing up my sleeves.”

Thanks for the great advice 🥰

This dog isn't even reactive

Love this channel!❤️

I love how you use body pressure. A lot of people are so into only using a lead.

Congrats on the 50K Subscribers!

She’s a good listener and very disciplined.

Thank you for this. I’ll definitely try this to my 3 yr old dog. A little back story. He was with me since he was only 2 months old. And we live in a condo where pets aren’t allowed ( well, before. But now they already allow it. But I still feel anxiety whenever someone knocks at the door.) that’s why I always freak out when someone’s knocking at the door. I believe that he felt my anxiety whenever there’s a stranger so up until now, he barks when there’s a visitor. But that’s all he does. Bark. And I feel guilty about that because I’m the reason that he’s like that. Now it’s time to correct things. Again, thank you for this.

This channel will be at 200k by the end of the year at least

Love it! Could you maybe make a video on dogs that follow their owners everywhere?

My dog was barking at the PGE guy so I put a Gentle Leader on him and that worked with one correction. Learned that from Joel🤗

I absolutely love your training style do you have a video on barking my 4 month old puppy barks at things that aren't there in the house she is a nervous puppy

Hey I just did this and it worked!!! Yay!!! tytyty🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

The lifting of both hands to show that she did not have a treat was what started the snapping. I train all my dogs to become accustomed to people just reaching out at their faces and grabbing them gently by the mussel. It's a game to them. No one likes strangers just reaching for their faces. Dogs are no different. I have also found that sending my dog over to a stranger to be fussed greatly comforts the anxious dog who is unsure of others.

I have a Jindo as well with the same problem, very deep sense of territory. Total polite gent on neutral territory great with people and other dogs. When it comes to people coming over to our home theres always the opening barking fit until we get her to relax. Weve tried treats and crating. I think well mix in leash corrections like in this video until it works. I have a sense it will never be fully taken out of her though.

My doberman does this specifically with men. If a man comes to the door or walks in the house, he is hackles up charging the door. Once they come in, he's hiding behind me, barking with hackles up. If they make any move like they want to get closer, sometimes, he pees. I would say he acts like that with 85% of the men who come into my house. Still to this day, he wants to like my dad when he comes over but cowers anytime a movement is too fast. This has been for the entire 3.5 years that I have had him since he was 8 weeks. I can't even have the damn plumber come over.

I have a home cake business and our Minni Aussie is very reactive to them. I'm working on the bed / stay while I ring the bell, knock and pretend voices. I'ts hard and she's only 11 months old . I'll have treats by the back door from now on!

Thank you very much for this practical video, utilizing 2 different methods at the same time really helps. I just want to ask if the treat toss happens while dog barking, would it end up being encouraging barking? Thank you

Mine does too ! Swiss white shepherds traits . Treats do not work at all he wouldn’t eat anything, I do find sit and leave it works mostly takes work but they are highly reactive. They do sometimes grow out of it takes so much training and I use e collar . I will try on leash Nxt time I normally make him place 🇦🇺🙏

Actually what is interesting is that there was a study on this matter and what was conclude is that reactive dog toward poeple can not be reinforced with snack. They found that after the dog has received the snacks it is still try to lanch at the poeples. Michael Ellis talked about that as well. Interesting to investigate that further.

What would you advise if the dog is barking consistently when the guests arrive, so there is no "quiet" phase before the dog starts? Thinking more unexpected guests. Thanks for the great no nonsense videos as always.

My dog is fine with people outside the house but the second we move past the door he goes crazy. It’s weird cause he used to love guests.

I had to go get my newf ecollar trained because after a year of nothing but positive training I had a 150lb Prb. I’ve learned how to do both but needed to know it’s ok to correct!

This was just what I needed! Thank you!! The discipline method works with my pup. My question is whether the pup ever grows out of it if we keep working on it. Have you seen it stop altogether?

"This isn't even his house" 😂

Thanks for the video! We have a rescue who is like this. Has Lupo gotten better over time with this training? Do you think he’ll ever get to a place where he doesn’t have to go through this process when strangers enter the home? We’re trying to anticipate and set realistic goals for ourselves around behavior modification so we don’t get too discouraged with things.

We’re trying to train our scared french bulldog to stop barking at guests. we will start using the leash at home as correction etc. but she doesn’t like eating treats in such (stressful) situations so we’re at a point where we don’t know how to treat her when she’s acting correctly and listening

The dog I just adopted does this. She’ll take treats from people but as they go to walk away she’ll bark or growl. It’s a new one for me my elderly Staffordshire bull terrier passed away and she never barked at anyone. Time for me to learn New approaches.

During training and real life I add a PLACE command where the pit rescue-dog goes to a small mat about 12’ from the door and STAY after the door knock and before the entering. The dog is great at DOWN so I often ask the visitor to order the DOWN which has worked every time so far. A pro dog trainer friend( + only) thinks it’s a mistake … allowing another person to control my dog.

Yep, we must work hard on this for our foster. She has actually been so reactive she has bitten a guest. I have had some results with a cannister spray that hisses, too.

My GSD likes to bark, specifically at men. Though I do like it because she’s like a guard dog for me (a short young woman) but I would like it if she didn’t bark at my guests or people that are close to me. In my family, she never barked at me, but have at my other family members (who’ve been there when she was a puppy) I’ve tried my best to socialize her at a young age, and she’s typically a very sweet girl who just wants belly rubs. It’s just first impression that she messes up. She’s also been getting very protective of me and her territory (my yard and house.) I will definitely try to do this training with my GSD!

Great video, great advice. Only one thing: the dog started barking after the trainer pulled the leash and not for no reason. It was on it's guard, so the second something unexpected happened the dog started barking...

A good technique is to get the stranger to throw the treats behind the dog, so then the dog can approach for another repetition. Rather than the dog remaining too close to the stranger for too long in one sitting, that is why Lupo started to react. It was too much. It's always good to critically analyse footage, I do it to myself all the time !

Only thing, I would use some kind of release cue to not confuse the dog, you tell him sit stay and correct him each time he gets up, but then when the treats are thrown you just let him go for it even though you just said stay. If that makes sence. Otherwise enjoying your videos!

I need to have you try my dog in his house or yard. He goes red line where I'm not sure throwing treats will work. When he was about six months, this behavior started, and we had guest offer him treats, but as he got older (14 months now) he doesn't appear interested. Outside in public, he's fine with strangers, it's just when at home or settled with the family somewhere. Do you think it has to do with dominance/protection issues with the rest of the family, as I am the only one who takes him out daily?

I notice now a couple of years down the road, you aren't using treats so much, has anything changed in this situation, or do you still recommend treating with this aspect of training? I really love your method of training by the way, it's sooo effective. Loose lead walking is now a breeze thanks to you

Lupo growled the first time when she was done with the treats and she put her hands up and palms out to show she didn't have treats anymore. This is the kind of dog that I would likely hand his leash over to the stranger as soon as they barked/growled. (obviously not with a bite history or serious concerns over biting). Then the stranger would walk the dog and ask for a sit or some type of obedience. That and or 2 leashes on the dog, one in your hand and you hand her one as well. Is there a reason you would not use this method?

For whatever reason my dog always checks out the dogs on TV, but only on your videos.

Only if she doesn't trust them. She's only done it twice in 10 years. They weren't allowed in. My grandfather always said, "If your dog or your horse doesn't trust someone, you shouldn't, either." Sound wisdom I have applied to my life with nary a cause for regret.

Thank you. My dog barks and growsl when people LOOK at her (or move towards her). She is ok, and may even start to like them, when they ignore her. Idk if the treats will work (since she wants to be ignored) but I will try it. Any other suggestions?

my dog goes crazy over new people at the house but it's not fear. it's he wants to play

Yes, my small dog does this, we did the treats thing for quite a while and there was a small improvement but take the treats away and it's back to square one. I don't have hardly any visitors, he barks like crazy when my sons come home. Unfortunately my eldest son doesn't have the patience to carry on with the method, he just wants to be able to come into the house after work so I have to make sure the living room door is shut between them. The other little dog is fine.

Just since quarantine, my Yorkies bark like crazy when a family member leaves the house. What to do?

Great information! I can use this with my puppy schnauzer but what do I do when she barks on walks? She barks at dogs and people because she excited and wants to meet them. If I let her meet them she's happy to get the attention so I know she's not aggressive. Please suggest one of your videos thanks

Upstate canine recommends the new people first ignore the reactive dog before approaching it. Good video

My dog does the air bark thing! A lot! Lupo seems much better than mine. I'll try this but I'm scared he will just keep barking unless he keeps getting treats!

What about an 8 # chihuahua that gets uber excited and goes crazy barking at visitors. He loves people, generally

Hey Joel, can you make a video on how you Would handle a dog that’s reactive in a car.! barks at every one and anything that comes near the car or goes by the car..

I think he barked after the treats because she opened her hands to show the dog she had no more treats and the dog saw that as a possible danger.

My dog will not take anything from anyone and will not stop barking. Any tips?

My dog gets super-agitated when the vacuum is on. How can I help her relax?

If you train them to do this though, would they still guard you if someone broke in? Or would they expect treats from the intruder? My dog barks a bit too much but I do expect her to protect me and guard the home.

My friends dog barks at me everyday, I can’t even enjoy a barbecue , it’s constant barking and I’m scared he’s going to hurt my mother or nieces. I’m at a lost place atm I tried everything, it’s made me mad in the past. Which I know isn’t the right approach. I love this dog with all my heart and it hurts my feelings when he barks at me and my mother. I don’t know what to do. O I just don’t use my back door anymore.

I have a ridgeback. When she is upset there is nothing I can do to calm her. She will take treats and then go right back to attacking. I’ve tried the correction it just doesn’t work.

Excellent explanation of the method but it would need many voluntary visitors.

my dog barks as soon as he hears a vehicle pulling up outside and people getting out of it, even next door at the neighbors. He goes on guard when anyone who isnt my mother, my sister, or myself come through the front door, even my aunt who lives with us he'll bark at her when she comes back from going somewhere. At one point he started nipping at people we've let into the house when they get too close to my mother so ive resorted to getting a muzzle for when he gets to that point. he's completely fine with them if they are outside but once they come inside he's all "how dare you trespass into my domain".

i have a pekingese that barks constantly at strangers. I don't know if its territorial and flips out like I have never seen any dogs act before. i have it trained to sit, come, high 10 and lay down. im going to try to get him to stop barking with treats and positive reinforcement, any recommendations on training. he will bark and bite strangers,

When you say huh huh or sit down the dog responds to you. My dog ignores commands at times like this. He is bad when people walk, run, skate, or bike past the house or yard. So its random and cannot be staged to work on. Working on obedience more. He knows commands, but doesn't follow them when riled up.

Did this treat thing with my german shephard puppy who barks at people coming in the house our neighbour came round and the puppy barked and barked the neighbour tossed him a treat and he settled infact he lay down and was great

Thanks, I'm assuming this method would work with a nervous dog who is also overly friendly with people coming in to the house..ie, barking at first then rushing the door for attention...is it possible that they will start associating the correction with people visiting the house and in turn think that people visiting is a bad thing? Would it be best to remove the dog from the living room and bring in on leash once guests are in, taking it back into the other room every time it tries to rush in ahead of me in an excited state? Thanks

My dog got mad at me for training her to stay on her lounge pillow. The next day she ripped apart her pillow that I made her stay on with dog treats. She can be very impatient and stubborn. The Pet Smart lady used a voice that made her listen.

My dog a Jack Russell Terrier who is adorable by the way barks at anything that is black be it a motorbike or bag of rubbish or someone dressed in black. He also jumps pretty high. When I take him to the beach to run. I throw the ball and he charges back and jumps up on me. I’ve done the jump out of way. I say don’t jump. I say stay down. I say feet down. So I basically am chattering away at him and the message isn’t getting through. Any suggestions. I notice that I’m missing the queues on when to say the commands. So sometimes when he’s in mid flight I say don’t jump. Bit late. He’s 11 months. Thanks. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Dog (with "deep issues") barely reacting to person: ..... My dog with neighbors (or even people he knows) when he escapes front screen door: "bboOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!"

The guest is trying to be a friend. But I can't ask my guests to be this patient, and the dog is a crazy one. I dont what to do

You can actually see the work you have been putting in . His nose was working! Instead of barking like crazy .

I wish this was how my dog reacted. It’s like holding back a dinosaur! I don’t get many visitors but she even goes crazy when she sees the people we see everyday in and around our apartment building. I just recently got some spray called pet corrector and it seems to have gotten better. Because me telling her to sit wasn’t working, promise of treat wasn’t working, the Caesar technique of tsss-poke, tap wasn’t working, the prong collar, the slip lead, none of that.

My mini schnauzer won't respond to correction to stop barking with someone at the door. It's like he doesn't know I'm even there anymore. We can't treat him while he's barking!

I don't know how will I train my dog. It's weird because she only gets aggressive when someone knocks into my room (in which she also sleeps with me) or when someone comes, or even just passed by the door outside, she'll get really aggressive and keeps on barking :/ but when she's outside my room, she doesn't react at all and even wants to be pet with by my family members.

2:35 I'm wondering if he took her open-hand gesture as some form of aggression. Which is why he barked. Still not okay. Or maybe he was just pissed she was all out of treats. 😁

This video is great, but the dog is not quite as reactive as I thought it would be. I've seen many dogs just go ballistic as soon as someone is near the door from the outside

My dog is 8 months old. He used to bark at everything as a puppy. Literally sound of door, drawers opening, any sound. From exposing him to all those things that make him bark, now he's pretty much okay with things and other dogs. He barks at people though, he doesn't bark at everyone. When we are walking he doesn't bark. At home he keeps barking at the same people, who work in my house. Is this bored barking? Also when I am driving, and the car stops (at a gas station, parking lot), he barks at anybody approaching the car. I am glad I have been able to cure 90% of the barking but I want to know how I can find out what causes him to bark. He also seems to bark more when I am around, so it's either fear or guarding thing. As a side note, I live in a majority moslem country, and they are not allowed to touch dogs. I think this is one of the reasons. Because of them avoiding him trying to sniff, he gets suspicious?

Yup, my year and 4month old gsd barks at guests and when neighbors are outside close to the front door. Ugh...

What breed is Lupo?

Struggling with this. My dog goes nuts and obvs isn’t on a lead when couriers etc just turn up, and of course they don’t have treats with them. And I have 3 dogs and they’re ALL going insane and winding each other up!

How do you deal with smaller dogs when it comes to them not wanting to take the tree at all like my experience is that my dog has so much fear about this person who has been coming to the house consistently for years, but my small dog still alerts for like five minutes and then doesn’t understand and he won’t send. I should preface it’s a handy man and family friend, but strangers he’s fine with

Please no rude comments, my son rescued a neglected, abused female brindle pitbull, she's fearful of plastic bags, sweet with women but growls at people coming into my house

When she raised her hand to adjust her hair that triggered him.

I need a Tyler in my life

👍💪

Let’s say the popping doesn’t work and the dog is barking continuously even after and during corrections? The main issue I’m facing isn’t aggression or fear it seems to be from a place of excitement

How do you do this in your home when your dog is not on a leash?

he barked when the treats ended . either barking for more or complaint?
