Bubbles is doing so much better now, we were gonna schedule another session but I really don’t think we need to. The buddy que instantly puts him in a good mood and he’s been able to make many more dog friends again, and the meetings with new dogs have become MUCH less tense. His tail now wags instantly when he meets a dog and he’s stopped trying to stare into there eyes it’s amazing what those 2 sessions did thank you Joel!!

I live for the "play bow". It's just so pure and sweet

Awww, the play bows. I love how Joel is weaning Bubbles off of the Prince part of the meeting. Pretty clever.

I just love the Bubbles sessions, he such a smart and lively dog and very responsive to his owner. Working breeds, like Bubbles, are very attuned to their humans so any tension or unease is apparent to the dog. There has been so much progress already, and I think the sky is the limit for this great pair.

So impressed with Bubbles and his human. Their work with you is very helpful to me and my twelve-month pup. Many thanks.

Glad to see Bubbles progress. He and his owner are doing great! Can't wait for the next video.

I gotta say this is one of your best videos yet. Very subtle body language that we get to view real time from Bubbles and others, both 1:1 and in group setting, and commentary is awesome. The correction with your knee in the pool area was so key to making sure he didn't go overboard, you could see he was JUST about to with Kiki and then the grab, calm energy, and release stopped a bad event from happening. This was honestly reminiscent of Cesar Milan, making sure a dog is in a calm state before release. The mention about confidence when letting your dog meet another is also SUPER important. You have to know how you will respond with your dog and others before you are in those situations, and then when you are, keeping calm and confident to followup is needed to be successful. And then doing that over and over! Thanks Joel and team and owners!

I keep hearing people where I live saying that dogs will just"figure it out themselves"... Yeah until there's a fight and a skin puncture. More people need to see dog management videos like these

It never gets old, that pop on the leash at JUST the right moment. Bubbles is doing great, and is lucky to have that skillful owner.

Bubbles looks so good!! Amazing progress. Way to go Bubbles and Ethan! Nice work as always Joel. My kids were laughing because I told them "Beckman posted a video two hours ago and I haven't been able to watch it yet!" My life gets in the way of my dog training sometimes lol

Bubbles was staring at Joel..."dude, I know you're talking about me and I'm not sure I like it", lol 😂🤣🤣

Bubbles for the win!!! Amazing turn around in 2 weeks. Great job owner and Joel.

I absolutely LOVE that you put so much content out

This video is perfectly timed! I have a poorly socialized 90lb, year and a half old male American bully who begins socializing this week with an 8 year old female pittie who loves everyone and is patient with other dogs. I am nervous and hopeful. Uncharted territory for me but the pittie’s owner has rehabilitated dangerous dogs and is very knowledgeable around these things, and your videos help so much!

I love LONG clips. Thanks Joel.

Awesome series on Bubbles - and what a natural this young owner is! There is so much dog body language to observe and have you analyze in these videos, and I think that's what makes it fun to watch. So informative - thank you.

In the wild, dogs used to eat small animals as prey, so they still have the habit of showing interest in fast-moving cats and birds. Chasing and barking at anything that moves is a behavior based on the hunting instinct of dogs, and this instinct seems to remain especially strong in hounds that find and catch prey, and sheepdogs that chase and guide herds of sheep and other animals.🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶💖💖💖💖💖💖

I love to see the progress the dog AND owner is doing. The dog is so good 👍🏻

Absolutely great series on Bubbles Joel 👍

Great video. Bubbles and his owner are doing great.

It was so nice to see Bubbles having fun at the end with the other dogs. That's the way they should be living.

i have watched 4 videos of joels, & already he’s my favorite trainer on youtube. he goes into detail really well, i subscribed immediately after 2 videos lol

The buddy queue is awesome and is definitely what I was missing with my boy. Thanks!

He shakes off after the second encounter with Gemma. He’s shaking off his nerves.. beautiful work ❤️ amazing dogs

Ugh...I thought I was pretending to be calm enough but that really put it in perspective. I think my guy feeds off me. That's amazing how fast Bubbles responded.

This has been very helpful for my new dog. She's a 4 yr old silver Lab. She's reactive to other dogs and this has given me some insight into her behavior.

Bubbles again! His owner is pretty good

That video came surprisingly fast. I was so excited I had go change into comfy clothes so I could really enjoy it. I gotta admit I was a bit afraid of her hair seeming to be up during her playtime at the end.

So good to watch your strategies and techniques - thank you.

It appears that the use of the ecollar previously conditioned Bubbles’ expectation that other dogs will cause a zap. When the owner petted the other dog, Bubbles seemed to be glad his dad found a safe dog to play with Bubbles. Now Bubbles can relax and play without worrying if he’ll get zapped.

Am I the only one who notices how confident owners make the biggest difference in how well the dogs progress in their training sessions? May not be politically correct to say but that's real life.

Thank you so much! I keep running into a reactive dog in the street here. He went after my dog one time which I had to step in, the other dude shrugged it off as normal behaviour. My dog is starting to be more reactive to that dog now, so I'm applying the same principles even though it's not my dog that is starting it. I can't control other dogs or how other people let their dogs behave, I can control my dog and you guys are giving me great tools to do so. 🙏🏻

Your videos of Bubbles are going to help me so much with my 10 pounder reactive dog! She is already getting better but I was wondering how to approach other dogs. Thank you for posting all your videos.

most satisfying vid. always inspiring. thank you

Nice to see Bubbles again!

The videos were great lessons on how to break a dog like Bubbles in to socializing. It shows that dogs have different personalities and how important it was to catch the triggers as well as the queues .

This is more good, solid dog school. At about 4 minutes the difference between controlled environment and real world is introduced and that is a keystone to building a better dog. My reactive dogs are much more quick to ramp up to aggression than Bubbles so the correction and walk-away is upon sight of the other dog. Anyone else have that issue?

Thanks for the video. Such good philosophy and methods. It is definitely how i think so it gives me added confidence that i will be able to get my responsive but reactive new dog to calm down, ignore the deer and make friends with the neighbourhood dogs.

Super cool! So there’s hope!!! I’m so glad you can pinpoint all this for us and rehearse the right things. I think the “leaving me” corrections are the bomb!!!!!!! The dog must learn that he is not the boss. All makes sense! 😍

Such beautiful dogs the Ridgeback is so stout love it.

Yay! Bubbles update!

Prince!! 🐶 After the black lab pee'd, Bubbles marked for the first time. Prince immediately gave Bubbles his attention, as you pointed out Prince "went a little hard" at one time. Bubbles got full of himself right after over-marking, Prince knew it and came over with precautionary intent, just to remind Bubbles to calm down alittle. Prince is awesome...I saw it happen buddy, good boy Prince!! 🐶

This young man will do alright👍

Bubbles!!!!

Oh my gosh another beauty.

love this.. lets go see your buddy

Kid definitely got his moneys worth here you did the job man kudos

I would love to hear Beckman talk about if/when he has ever been bit by a dog. I was bit once breaking up a fight at doggy daycare. It helped me learn to grab the dogs wheelbarrow style.

This is amazing!!!

I have a Border as well. It’s interesting to see the similarities in behavior and this video in particular is very helpful. Thanks 😊

I love this

This was such a good video. I liked to see how's you stopped bubbles when he started getting two excited in the pool area.

My dog has started watching Joel's videos 😂

My border collie Gipsy looks exactly like Bubbles here and acts exactly the same, so interesting to finally see a dog so similar to mine and how to properly train to meet other dogs. I see the exact same mannerisms and movements in Bubbles as I do in Gipsy and that's so crazy to me. Gipsy and I have a long way to go, and seeing this makes me hopeful :)

3:57 I would seperate the dogs right then and there. The collie is getting overly excited and that is when majority of dog fights happen. Usually a short break of a minute then let them play again. Once fur comes up its time for a break again. Rinse and repeat. This teaches the reactive dog to control its reactiveness.

Such a great deal!

I'd like to see Ethan do a home video (or you even do a home visit) later on when those two off leash black neighborhood dogs do run ups/greet Bubbles at home in his territory (maybe the "real life" next phase down the road). I wonder if he will react differently-would love to at least see some footage of it if Ethan can manage to GoPro or have someone tape it! Would be frustrating for it to cause any regression after such progress. Bubbles does seem to get overstimulated when with multiple dogs and the higher energy ones (like the American Bully) and in some dogs that can be a big reactivity/aggression trigger, so you grabbed him just at the right time before that build continued with Kiki. I do the same with a Pitmix, he is a tough case and similar to Bubbles, he will go stiff and look awkward/uncomfortable, then play great, then become severely overstimulated and goes off-at no particular kind of dog (seems to mainly be doodles under a year though, possibly when a human introduces toys or treats 🙄 and when you collar grab and sit, he still fixates and will go back, playtime over... ) wish you'd come to Ontario-I may take a few videos and send them over for some insight 👀 Can't wait for Bubbles next session. Love both owner and dog. Keep up the good observation and work-and keep sharing! 🥰

thnx. i need all of your videos.

I’m training my dog and it seems like every video I need when I open KZfaq it’s that a new video from you that retales to what I’m trying to teach

Bubbles was herding Prince. I love to see Border Collies do their thing.

13:42 who … is this Bubbles?! He’s doing GREAT!!! 🙌🏼🔥

This vids are fantastic for learning! Would you consider please putting the dog's name in the title? Because sometimes I see peoples' questions that could best be answered by watching a specific dog "series." Then their questions could be answered more easily like hey search "Beckman Dog Training Bubbles" Just an idea🐾❤️

What a great video? I had another run into a aggressive dog at the park , on leash the owner never let him lose…. My dog went near him and they almost started fighting. The dogo almost bit George and George reacted. I was able to grab him but woow another case of another owner that dosnt know what he’s doling…

This is great. I want this so badly for my reactive pit bull. She is so sweet but absolutely loses it when she sees another dog. The only dog she tolerates is my mom's 13 year old rat terrier

Bubbles

Since my dog almost ate my trainer’s dog the other day (or that’s what it looked/felt like at their first meeting with both on leashes), I look forward to watching this. I did try petting her dog first after watching the former video but Zeke wasn’t swayed.Bubbles looks like a saint in comparison but I’m sure a good part of it is me.

watching this session makes me think last time might have been a little more Kiki's fault than it looked. Like, not that it's okay for Bubbles to freak out, but Kiki sometimes looks like a lot.

I’ve watched another video where you never let the dog leave you when it was going to meet someone. Tried it on my dog and it made a HUGE difference once he got there, his mind seemed less stimulated, which translated into a calm meeting. The difference was really noticeable. Wonder if this is one of the biggest factors helping Bubbles.

I want to get a head collar for my dog as she's aggressive but I'm not sure which one to buy because she's pretty strong and could rip out of one

I’m curious what’s the name of the head collar bubbles has on, it’s like a gentle leader that connects in the back, my dog would benefit from this cuz she always gets her front legs tangled in the leash on a gentle leader

The trigger for bubbles is with the owner said. He said the two labrador retrievers in his neighborhood or wreaking havoc. That's what I think is the trigger with Kiki. Tell

I'm hoping to see a video that demonstrates all the different body language cues of dogs and what each of them means.

Hi Joel, Your correction method worked very well for loose leash walking with my almost 4 year old blue heeler border collie cross. One thing I'm wondering is how far to take it. Like, do I start correcting her with a shorter leash to keep her walking directly beside me or should I just not worry that she walks slightly in front of me so long as she continues to check in with me every time I stop?

My husky does this with some dogs. But doesn’t matter if I pet or not. My dog sniffs the other dog and then if the dog stares at her , barks or gets too in her space she gets reactive.

Loving the thorough breakdown of this one! I know this video is super old already, but I noticed that around 23:30, after you already gave the correction, his fur in the neck seemed to go up again. Might be that I'm mistaken, but with an unreliable dog like that, would you advise the owner to call back the dog and calm him down for a moment, if he ever noticed that during play?

My dog does the weird thing before the good thing like bubbles. His body language is so so strange. He gets very stiff looking before hopping to a play bow and rolling on his back to wrestle. His body language looks so flip floppy from super dominant/nervous looking, to extremely submissive and happy. It is so weird but I’ve gotten used to it over the years.

You guys In California? Man my wife wants to Cali so bad and I'd luv to come for a couple sessions for training with my 5 yr old doberman. Can I make it happen this year? maybe lol. Love your content gang.

I had a smaller Bull Terrier that all dogs when she would look at them they would turn and go away. Black dogs can be so extremely smart and a burglars worst nightmare.

That’s so interesting, I had no idea that dogs could be tripped out as you say by dogs with white eyes. Any insight into why this is or is it just like high curly tails and can be hard to read?

Question: how do you read/interpret if a dog is being chased and their hackles are raised but they are still turning around and initiating play? Like bubbles is doing in this video. Do they get nervous but then get over it? Should you interrupt the chase?

Love your videos. I’ve watched pretty much all of them. I have a 2 yo Rottweiler with some dog reactivity. When he sees a dog, sometimes he stalks them, (which I correct), But then usually ends up lying down when he wants to meet a dog, 85% is a friendly interaction. The lying down after the stalking looks intimidating, but usually ends up being friendly... what should I think of this?

Question. Why does he need to meet other dogs "on the street" if meeting other dogs isn't his thing? I don't want or expect my dog to meet anyone when we are out for our walk. I might be missing something. I did like the advance and retreat technique. It works great with horses as well to decompress anxious energy. I always love watching your videos. Thanks for posting.

Very interesting session! So nice to see a border collie , I have a border collie bitch

It seems like he gets over stimulated(he tries to release stress between playing by shaking his body), and at that feeling in his body maybe he associated it with the shock collar.

I am having a hard time finding the first session....

16:10 She's beautiful😍

The first video you posted about bubbles, you and the owner were deciding to go between petting the other dog, or saying here’s your buddy. I think saying here’s your body is better because he won’t always have a 2nd person to hold the leash.

What's going to happen

Do you think a dog can learn to be okay with a specific dog they've come to dislike? We have two female dogs who've had a number of fights and they really dislike each other now. The original fight happened when they both had puppies at the same time and were protective of their own puppies. They weren't supposed to be together but one got through a gate and they got into it and ever since then they try to fight as soon as they see each other. Both of those dogs are okay with some other dogs but they just seem to have developed a hatred for each other

Not much to say on this one. You pick up on just about everything. Great job helping this client. Bubbles is looking amazingly better already. I guess one thought I had is that Bubbles always seems to fit into the Omega role, which is that he's the one at the bottom of the hierarchy that gets chased by the other dogs and nipped. Maybe that's why he gets a little more irritable the more dogs there are.

Is that a pit bull or alpha blue dog

Here is some harsh criticism. ........ fkin fantastic of you

ITS THE MEXICAN LEASH CESAR MILLAN DOES THIS

'Real world tanning veggie the issue has been worked on enough for the dog to get enough experience to fall back on is just not fair.

His shackles seem to come up near the end, is it arousel?

Ok wait, You gave the signal "lets go see our buddy" Which is his release. If you did not want to release him then you needed to first give some other signal then release. That correction at about 8:03 is a wrong correction. At aprox 8:25 you corrected yourself then you go back to not fair to the dog corrections.

Dude should take off his glasses and make real eye contact with his dog...

But the problem is the other owner starts walking towards you and your dog in training, mostly on retractable leash! It's so annoying!!

Stop. Pop. Walk away.

9 times out of 10? The owner is the problem.
