Man I love these videos, I’ve literally been doing almost every method of his and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my pup.

JOEL has a knack for going so deep but the same time realistic and simple. Love it. THANKS

Though my dog "came"with a pretty good leave it, I see now I can make it better--and how! Thanks, Joel.

I’ve been doing the “leave it” with marginal success. Now that I’ve heard your snappy tone…. I get it. Thank you. 😎

This is very helpful. I have been just saying 'leave it!' and walking on. We shall practice this method with treats. Thanks, Joel !

Came to see if this man knew his stuff and I can say working in law enforcement, this man is a professional he won my subscription keep the great work many blessings to you sir.

Love it. Quick, concise, clear and effective! This is one technique where I feel like I do it almost 100% correct! 😀

Joel, you never cease to amaze me!

This leave-it method was so well explained I can hardly wait to put it into practice.

Maybe one of the most important and useful commands for a dog. Easy to train if done right!

I had a very reactive female poodle that would explode on walks, trained leave it very similar, had her for 5 days at my house recently while the human was away on vacation & now she can walk confidently without needing to outburst to other dogs. I also trained a Blue Merle Aussie Shepherd this way and he was a BIG "dumpster diver" is what I call dogs that wanna pickup everything on the busy streets of NYC - Great Work, Joel.

Loved this “back to the basics obedience” training. Training this early will help to not have reactivity problems 👍🏻

Haven't watched in awhile. Ooops. Forgot how helpful these videos are. Thank you! 🐕❤🐕

Working with a Husky x GSD 11 mo old. He comes and goes on commands he knows. I've been training him based on Beckman's videos. I watch and watch again. I so appreciate the instruction. I'm the Dementor's 🤍 nanny, and I think Beckman's vids have kept him from being rehomed. Thanks for the useful techniques and information.

Great! Now I look forward to you teaching us how to teach "drop it". You have helped me so much...I foster. I love helping them and their new person/family. It makes transitioning in their new homes less stressful all the way around Thanks so much. Heaps of best wishes!

I'm so glad i watched this. I have a 4 month old Husky/lab mix and i started teaching leave it on walks, not in the house. It seems to be qorking even without using treats! I just say "leave it!" Give a gentle tug on the leash and keep walking. He really is getting it about 80% of the time, i would say. There are still times I have to pull him away from something, but he's getting it slowly.

Oh, just what we need! We need a strategy for our dog-obsessed boy! Thanks, Joel! 🙂

OMG!! I am so glad I found this! My little Silky puppy is 14 weeks old, and she just refuses to walk since the entire world is so new to her. I was trying to walk her using the "keep walking" method, but felt like I was just dragging her little 6 lb body. I just did this "leave it" training today, and she nearly kept moving the entire time, ignoring just about everything! Even when she did stop to check out something very interesting, by the end I would just say "leave it" without pulling the leash and she came right to me and kept walking!

I recently got a puppy, so now I can use your training. 😄

Your message makes. More. Sense. Then all the other channels that I follow!

Teaching my puppy “leave it” is next on my to do list and will start with the toys in the garden tomorrow, great way to teach and also I can train the command with people because she gets very excited and wants to greet everyone…she a border collie and very very friendly

Excellent breakdown of Leave it! Detailed and basic steps.

Best techniques ever, already working on them with my 9 month old shepherd!

Cannot wait to see more obedience techniques. Please make a video about ‘drop it’ as well

Excellent video, thank you Joel!

Joel is Boss! And a great trainer. You are to the point. No confusion. Especially liked how you pointed out what a drop it is as compared to leave it.

Brilliant again! Thank you Joel.

Great vid and so helpful, thanks joel!

Just gave this a try outside with my bloodhound mix. In about 30 minutes she learned "leave it" pretty well, even though there is still work to do. My ultimate test for today was trying it out inside at home with no leash, and it was a success. Thanks for the video!

Great short video! Thank you sir!

Helpful. 👍

I love this! I have a 22 month old blue heeler/Australian shepherd mix that we adopted from a rescue. He was a pandemic puppy who was horribly under-socialized with his first family. Joel's techniques are simple, effective, and are making a difference. I will be implementing this leave it training starting tomorrow. Now...if only I could get Joel to help me help my dog stop barking at every noise he hears outside while we are sitting inside...sigh...baby steps. Thank you Joel and everyone at Beckman's!

Great video!

Great video, Joel. This is my take and what I walked away with after watching. The “Leave it” method-is one of the most underutilized commands, it can save my dog’s life, or she can walk past a tissue on the street. I see this method as proactive and versatile-I should say it when I see the "it” that she will investigate or walk towards. Whatever it is, I want her not to bother with it. Don't stare at that dog, don't smell that thing, don't pick it up, “nope, walk on by“ “Forget about it.” When I say “Leave it,” it means “don’t even think about it.“ I do not believe she will think her ball or toy is a bad thing.

clear as day, understandable, Beckmann! 👍

We ❤ you! Thank you Joel.

Thank you! I am going to work on this right away with my dog!

Yea. Needed this one. Great clarification of "leave it." I guess I need to train it enough to be able to get the "leave it" when I pass a dog barking at us on a walk. I don't want to meet the other dog, just pass it without incident on the walk. Would like to see you train "drop it."

Great videos, sir! I gain so much knowledge from you!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

“Wheres our dog?” 😆

Joel I Love your videos! I wish you were in Georgia.

Love this method! I use it all the time especially for older or adolescent dogs- with puppies at I always start inside though, because of all the distractions outside they seem to have difficulty concentrating LOL The only thing I add when I practice is a "good leave it" instead of just a good or a "good boy/girl" once they comply because then is just an extra way to help remind and ingrain that command-much like a "good sit" or "good down" etc. Either is fine! I just feel it helps the cause even more to repeat it! Love the alternative to just practicing inside as most might do, when a doggy is older it is much more productive to Dive Right In. But when I start with puppies around 10 weeks I definitely start inside LOL even a leaf blowing by will disengage them from the activity LOL This is one of my favourite and essential commands, especially for preventing or reducing g reactivity! On another note, I got yelled at at the dog park today for doing one of your "earning your way off leash" methods LOL partially for "being mean" and partially because "no leashes allowed at the dog park, I could report you if I video taped you" she was completely fine for about 15 minutes until her dog was barking and howling like crazy Non-Stop and jumping and nipping at my pocket, upsetting me and the GSD I had with me, that was doing wonderfully but was dying to correct the hound for the barking and jumping as well and I was stopping him from doing so..... so I shoed the hound out of the circle of trust a few times and just verbally told him to "go, get and get out of here" then she was quite unhappy and reprimanded me at that point... I'm still reeling over it 🤦🏼‍♂️ I'm needing a glass of wine to try and let it go 😭 I guess I could have handled it differently and let people know before coming in but I figured there was only us three there it was not a big deal... But it really is getting to me today for some reason! Clearly they don't watch your channel LOL but I was frustrated with her 25 feet away texting on her phone the whole time while her dog basically harassed us for 15 minutes straight while barking and howling incessantly 🥺 Any advice on being able to let this go? Why do I still care what other people think? 🤦🏼‍♂️ all my clients know my methods and I did not know the people there so, maybe I should have given a headsup? Yeesh. Some people! The dog (I trained as a pup with her mother-but they did not maintain or continue after 3 sessions) is also a big howler/barker/jumper at home and a counter surfer apparently.... So I know the behaviour translates elsewhere, but I was not proactive and didn't have that discussion with the daughter beforehand- whom I do not have a relationship with... Is what it is I guess 🤦🏼‍♂️ A stern "leave it" from her would've made a huge impact in that moment! 😂

Best trainer very effective

I should have to pay to subscribe to this channel. You're methods works!!

Thanks for another video!

Excellent !!

Thanks for this video, Joel. I never take treats with me on walks. I'll need to try that. 🐕

Great stuff!

Great video.

What contraption is holding the treats to make them easily accessible but not bulky nor spilling? You are definitely doing what u were put on this planet to do🐾❤️🙏🏽

I've been doing this without a treat with my puppy, working good a treat will really help

Lol when you said "okay" my dog jumped up from her sleep like "I'm ready!"

Good shiet

We did leave it without a leash. When my lab mix was a pup I used a spray bottle 🙂

Hello Joel I have a new rescue Mazzy who is sweet but exuberant. She overwhelms my older dog by just being so playful and hyper. They are both small, she is 13 lbs and my older dog Bella is 9 lbs. Bella retreats to her crate a lot because Mazzy’s energy bothers her. When Mazzy does try to play with Bella I do tell her to “leave it”, as she is just too much for Bella to handle. I don’t want to isolate either one and there is no aggression either way at all. I just feel bad that Bella hangs out in her crate so much. I do give them both separate individual attention by putting up a baby gate and playing with each one alone. Thought this might make a good video for you. Thank you for all your help. Love your channel!

Im so gonna train this.

So many things I could use “leave it” on

👍

These videos are awesome, can you do a vid of a dog that chases cars and other moving things, my blue heeled does not want to give up her fear/want to chase cars and other things even after copious amounts of training her out of it

Thanks Joel. What are you (everyone) using for treats?

Can you do a video or do you have any videos on training hounds? I have a pretty sassy foxhound and she’s especially stubborn once she catches a scent.

I have a very reactive 4 month old gsd. Is this the best method for her. Love your videos

"I know, it’s a scary piece of paper" T.T

What brand dog treat pouch do you use?

Good video. This should help in training my lab to leave goose poop and other stuff on the ground but don't see it working when meeting other dogs or people. But I guess there are better videos for those problems.

What is the breed of that beautiful black dog? 😍

HELP MY 2 YR OLD PUP we live in a corner house where when cars turn onto our street, the headlights shine into our house, the lights moving across the walls. She is so protective, she barks loudly and hair on her back stands on end. She’s very fearful and this is her biggest fear. We have tried your method of calling her to the other room where no lights shine and praise her and give her a treat, which usually calms her (changes her focus) but, it’s been going on for a long time (maybe a year and she’s 2 now) without getting much better. What else can we do?

Should "leave it" be a separate cue than "no" or...? Just the words sound different essentially? (I get that "drop it" would be different in meaning since our dog would ALREADY have something in his mouth)

This is the first video of yours I have seen. When you say "poppy" is that when you snap your fingers? My finger snap is so weak I don't think it would do much to draw the attention of the dog. What about a clicker? I have never used one of those.

Thanks for this! I was working on this earlier today inside my house (it's too cold in North Dakota to walk outside!) and my 9 mo. cavapoo was responding really well as we leash-walked past a treat on the floor. I'm looking forward to warmer weather to start walking her in our rural neighborhood. My bigger issue is that when she wants attention, she will steal papers/wrappers from my small trashcan or plastic grocery bags (folded tightly) from my open cabinet to chew on. She doesn't chew destructively otherwise. I just started taking her (by the collar or leash) with the stolen items back to where they came from and put them away with her watching, then telling her to leave it. Before, I would take hold of the item if it was still in her mouth and tell her to drop it. Any suggestions?

But what if the other dog starts barking? My german shepherd is pretty reactive(we have NOT had him since a puppy) and so if the other dog starts barking, so does he, and lunging. How am I supposed to correct that? Your practice dogs don't bark. Have you made a video on this? If so can you tag me? Absolutely love your videos btw. Dogs 🔛🔝

Big fan in UK here. I notice you don't always "mark" before giving a treat. Sometimes you say "good boy" or "goood" as, or just before, you treat - but not the snappy, pitched-up "yes!" favored by quite a few trainers. What are your thoughts on "mark reward"? Could one get the same result by giving the treat silently?

My 17mo dog is very good at leave it. He's good dropping it during training sessions, but not during play. What's the best method to teach drop it during fetch sessions? Thanks

=@Beckman's Dog Training What treats do you use?

What should I do when my dog doesnt quit biting the leash? Seems like it finds way to his mouth immediately. Leave it doesnt work and makes him more obstinate. I have to physically take it out. Otherwise, he is awesome.

First !

My problem with my great Pyrenees is that he doesn't care about the treats generally. He knows what to do because I have seen him choose his actions. But treats don't often work

Chia pet?

Is that a portuguese water dog?

Training this with a poodle is almost cheating! 😂😝😎

I would like to see you walk the dog without a leash and tell him to leave it. My question is.. when not on the leash and you tell them to leave it and they don't what is the Correction?

Scary piece of paper.

What if the dog dont want any treats what would you suggest? :)

is there any reason why need to use "leave it" instead of calling his name or using "come" command?

What if my dog doesn’t want to eat treats on walks? 🤔

Breed?

It's very hard for my dog to leave it to other dogs my puppy care less about treats when it comes to other dogs

I want to see leave it for a dead fish or bird. She will leave anything except dead things on the beach

Your folded hands betrays all your work with marine mammals. Keeps you from making extra hand signs you don't mean.
