I’m actually impressed with Prince’s ability to compartmentalize things. Like he’s capable of making those corrections and letting crazy dogs know what’s up, but then he can flip a switch and go “let’s play. Do you want to be friends?”

Prince is not just a pet. Prince is a working dog, with a job. Lucky dog !

How can anybody see Prince and think he’s stressed? He’s the chillest dog. It takes a lot of pushing before he pushes back. And than he wants to play. That doesn’t seem like a stressed dog to me!

I've owned and trained Dobermans (professionally as a young girl in the 70s) and this breed loves to work. They love tasks. They are highly intelligent, loving and multifaceted animals. Prince loves exactly what he does and it shows in the way he reacts. Great team!

I dont see Prince being stressed. I see Prince enjoying his job. He is smart and loves it. Edit: Ive never seen Prince actually get angry until this time.

If your working dog is able to correct another dog without killing the other dog. If you are able to call off your working dog when it’s correcting another dog with a simple yell. Im pretty sure you are doing something right.

I watch his show every saturday and bought the book kzfaq.infoUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq because i like his method. He's very talktative in the book about his dog training experiences with several different breeds over the years. When he does get to the training chapters, you need to read more slowly, take mental or written notes and try to apply his advice to your pet. That's where i'm at now. Another review is in order aftet i've trained my blue mountain shepherd with brandon mcmillan's method.

Prince is an absolute game changer. What could be better than an assistant who can speak the other dogs' language and let them know what's up in a way they understand? Not only that. but he's also there to be their friend because he genuinely likes other dogs and wants to help them be better. Everything Prince does in these videos is uplifting and a huge inspiration because at the end of the day, he gets to see a lot of transformations. There aren't too many dogs who get to say "Yeah that guy was being a bit of a jerk, but I helped him." [P.S. Rock on, Prince! You're the best boy!]

For everyone's peace of mind: Prince has a million times happier life than this nervous wreck. He only looked disappointed he wasn't allowed to "finish his job"...

its funny how people whose dogs are frustrated, anxious and unfulfilled criticize a man who has a doberman as happy as prince, who could literally walk of leash on a busy city while their dog would run away if they leave the door open for 5 seconds. Keep the good work mate!

I believe as long as price gets a balance of being a “working” dog and being a playing dog I think it’s amazing you can have a dog like prince helping you reintegrate nervous, aggressive, and fearful dogs

Those who understand dogs can easily see that Prince is a huge benefit both for a trainers companion and for dogs with temperment issues. Great working dog and you can tell that he really loves what he's doing.

For Prince to be full on and to just stop on command is awesome. Wow

Prince went full "F*ck around and find out' mode on that dog. Good boy Prince! What separates Prince from a 'normal' dog is he understands he's a working dog, he's got a job to do and that is to help you and these dogs. The level of restraint he showed is a testament to his understanding of that and your training of him. Bravo

My husband is a shepherd and he understands the importance of dogs learning and following instructions of their owners and the other dogs. We reward our working dogs as if they are family, they help us to put food on the table and part of production to agriculture. You’ve got to listen to your dogs needs as well as ours, it’s a bond and we’re a team. You have to show them respect.

Watching you and Prince made me realize my older dog is helping and correcting our puppy (an out of control rescue, 10 month old with similar issues to McCoy) and I've stopped myself from preventing it and instead trust her to correct the puppy's unacceptable behaviour, which definitely makes a difference.

Maybe that hit was too close to Joel for Prince's liking. Like how he immediately stop when he heard his name, what a top dog

These are great owners. I am so impressed with their intelligence and willingness to do what it takes to help their dog. We’d love to see follow up videos with their dog, them and you. Really enjoyable to watch this initial meeting.

“Everything needs to be soft for some of “you people”” 😂😂😂 loved that

Prince is a dog who has a job and knows his role in life. No coincidence he is a happy well adjusted dog. This is balance when dogs and people are out of balance this is when we get behavioural issues.

Prince like naw homie we ain’t paying that shit no more 🤣

Prince knows exactly what he's doing. not at all stressed at any moment...annoyed sometimes..but he has a self control, assertiveness and composure most of the humans(including myself) would die to have as a virtue. Also, i feel so sad about this aussie, I personally have gone through phases of social and other form of anxieties, and I know how it feels to not be relaxed at any moment and staying on the verge of panic all the time.

Prince is a legend. He's no different to a parent telling an unruly kid to behave. If he was stressed he wouldn't release or even come forward in the 1st place. More people are realising dogs are the best mentors and my eldest collie is used for the same thing in my sessions. I would personally like to see less popping/force and a bit more praise with the preferred behaviours, but your technique is as force-free as I think you can make it and you get the results, and switch to Prince when safe to do so; people need to remember these sessions are edited for time and people come to you as a last resort, so all the standard techniques will have been tried already and this is a last ditch attempt to reset the dog's behaviour. Great job!

Prince is like the epitome of a working dog they need a job to do to feel fulfilled and his obedience is top notch as well, anyone who thinks differently doesn't really know much about the doberman dog breed they buy into the stereotypical myths about them

prince is doing what any alpha pack member would do, he's establishing boundaries, what he will tolerate and won't. dogs can communicate to other dogs what we cannot. you can tell by prince's body language that he's not territorial, he's not there to be a d*ck, he has great recall which is a WELL trained dog! people think you're hurting a dog when kneeing them, but look at how rough dogs play, they aren't phased by it. i'm NOT saying to beat a dog, there's a big difference, and working breeds especially NEEED strong boundaries because otherwise they will overwork their owner. just found your channel, loving your work!

Prince has an super enriched life. He also gains experience and learns things from the encounters.. You don't have to explain yourself to people who doesn't understand what you do. 😍 Just found your channel a few days ago and I am a fan!! I don't a dog (not yet) but I lean so much from your video`s. Thank you for sharing 💜

I love when Joel calmly pops off at the haters. " everything needs to be soft for some of you people. " 😂😂😂

Your speech about Prince in the beginning and seeing you two together "I gotta give Prince love" was sooooo awe-inspiring. What a beautiful relationship you have! Thank you BOTH for sharing yourselves with this world🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

that dogs energy is fueled by his anxiousness. even the owner says that no matter how much exercise he gets, he just never stops. I think that time away from his humans will be the best thing for him. I wonder if he'd behave the same way if his humans were not present.

We ordered thissince we are planning to get a dog and we've watched dog lover on tv many times. The book kzfaq.infoUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq is a simple read and easy to understand. I like that it gives examples. We haven't put it into practice yet, so that will be the true test.

Prince knows he gets loads of love and is willing to put up with the pesky dogs to get it. He's brilliant and I just wanna give him a big cuddle.

prince is like the PERFECT DOG!!!!! idk how anyone couldn't see that.. hes so well behaved, and the way he knows when to push and when to pull back. its insane to me how smart that dog is.. good on you for what you do man. im so happy i found your channel this morning. i don't have a dog that needs helps, but i love seeing someone do this kind of work to help the 'Helpless" dogs.. this is amazing stuff right here

Great to see Prince starting to come out and be confident with his growing experience as your partner. Excited to see how he measures up with Boscoe

I don’t think that dog is afraid of you, looks to me more like a healthy respect. Well done to both you and Prince 👏🏼

I had a female Newfy that was a lot like Prince. If two other dogs were fighting, she’d just insert herself in the middle and stand there. She was so big and fluffy, they couldn’t see each other anymore and the fight just dissolved. It didn’t make her stressed out or have a bad life. Working breeds are happier doing a job, any job.

“I just gotta give Prince love” I felt that all the way up in Canada. It’s obvious he lives a life of purpose filled with love

Prince is amazing. Period. Also testament to your training was your ability to call him off when he was getting into it with the other dog. I don't know if people realize how hard that is to do! Kudos to the mom, I would be very happy to be considered in the top 3% of your clients! Looking forward to part 3!

Before it was Dutch Shepherd pie. Now it's Australian Shepherd pie. Prince is a helper dog and chef. 🧑‍🍳

Prince is basically a doorman. There to just get on with things but step in when things go crazy. Awesome dog and trainer.

The Aussie has so much energy, i feel like he's dominant because wants to herd. Interesting session

That Aussie needs a JOB. He is a working breed. Hes meant to herd cattle, sheep, goats, chicken, geese etc... or at least be in some herding classes. All I saw was a dog with no job. He was herding his own people and protecting them from everything like Aussies that have a flock to care for do. Prince did a great job standing up for himself. Hes an amazing dog. And I don't see him being stressed either. He always looks happy and content. How could he not be? Hes with his people and a lot of other dogs daily. That's all most dogs would probably wish for.

I think a slightly more realistic option for most people to exercise their dogs that have herding instincts is agility instead of herding. When you go to a club or trainer to work on herding, the dog has to do an instinct test. If the dog is too high strung they may not allow it to work with the livestock. Hence why I recommend agility, you can do that with almost any dog. A lot of places offer private classes so you can do it with your reactive dogs as well. Just some food for thought :)

I just wanna say, I LOVE your freaking channel! The way you train & work with dogs is great! I love seeing you explain the process as you go as well! Please never end this channel!🙏🏾 God Bless

I am new to your channel, and I must say I really love your videos! Prince is an amazing animal that loves his family and you can see he has a huge heart. Thank you for helping these dogs be the best they can be.

Prince has a more fulfilled life than, full of enrichment, love, clear, concise boundaries & a family who love him & has his best interest at heart. What a lucky dog! Even WITH the occasional difficulty or challenge, I still think Prince has a better life than most

Great video. Prince is a great dog. Herding breeds are hard breeds. Can't wait to see rest could watch a hour or more of this.

Prince has lots of space, lots of interaction and mental stimulation. He is a great example to other dogs and has so much purpose.

Prince is AMAZING!! He definitely knows his role in the program!

My favorite part of these videos is listening to Joel teach and train soft, ignorant commenters.

I agree with so many other comments here. Prince is a working dog who's got a job so he's a very lucky boy. And it was great to watch an owner with good dog handling skills who was still struggling, and understand why. It's awesome to be able to learn some of the nuances, above just obedience, that create a balanced dog.

Your control of Prince is fantastic and the repore you have with him is beautiful. Love your videos.

I am in love with Prince, he’s amazing and very good at what you guys do! I love it!

Working breeds need jobs... It's pretty simple. I worked with an Aussie breeder temporarily. They are so high strung, intelligent, and high energy and need something to do in order to stimulate them and keep them happy and balanced.

This aussie seems like he's neurotic to me, owners definitely need to get some kind of job for him to channel all that nervous energy into. Watching him pace around and whine nonstop made me anxious through the screen... I feel for him and his owners.

Prince is sooo good at what he does and you show him sooo much love. Prince looks happy and definitely well taken care of👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Prince gets to work and have fun to, he doesn't seem to mind correcting other dogs. Prince is extremely loved by his human!

The Aussie might have a screw loose. He doesn’t get it. He’s a bold dude. Prince is always a good boy. These videos are so helpful to watch. Every minute helps me. Thank you!

Actually, Prince being of the working breed is bred to do a job. He's probably the most happy, stable dog ever because he's doing what he's been bred to do. Good job Prince!

I'm no dog expert but it appears that Prince has the demeanor to do the job and he so good at I just love watching him do his thing. Both of you are just fantastic 💗

These videos are fascinating. You are definitely the best trainer of 'problem dogs' I have ever seen. Some people do not understand context and criticise on the basis of 'Oh, the dog looks stressed' and 'You are doing things wrong'. They fail to realise these dogs are often brought here because the *owners* have tried several different avenues and don't know what else to do! That's why their dogs are a problem. Keep up the immense work. God bless

Prince Skills! And Joel's discernment and guts! Excellent work everyone.

Prince is the DogVersion of Joel.. I love it! this series is probably the best you have done so far.. thx a lot! I keep sharing it with friends who got dog problems:D

The dude is so scared to discipline that dog

"... and I don't mean to act like 'oh, he's the greatest thing ever'.." BUT HE IS!!! What an incredible dog. I don't have dogs anymore but I found your channel and now I can't stop. Thank you for sharing Prince with us! ❤

Princes is a boss , say no more….

Can’t wait for part 3! Also, if they do a board & train, will be interesting to watch the evolution of this dog

I don’t normally like videos but I’m liking this one just because of the intro maybe first 5 minutes. Telling people “Prince is not your dog”. Beautiful man don’t let anybody cancel you or make you apologize for doing the things you know are right

i love your teamwork with prince. he’s an awesome dog and you’re a great trainer!!!

You know, I'm a great believer that there are times that dogs can only learn from each other. They have to sort it out. 😏

The 1% that think Prince's job is too hard are codependent and projecting that onto Prince. I have noticed in the dog world owners can be so neurotic and project all their own personal dysfunctions onto pets. Prince is living his 'dog' life. Dogs in the wild do this sort of thing often. Hierarchy has to be established and is constantly being challenged.

I'm thoroughly impressed with his understanding of dog behavior and how they communicate. Prince is such a good boy. Keep up the great work brother. You are doing an amazing job.

I absolutely LOVE ur videos.

Well done on “prince is not your dog” and he’s destined for more , he’s fantastic at dealing with this stuff and perfect for the job . Amazing videos they so hit the mark on what the owners need to hear , thank you Rod Prager uk

My heart melts when I see Prince getting praised by Joel. Good boy, Princey!

'Prince is destined to do more' I love that, it's not our right to limit an animal. I love how you empower Prince and show him so much respect. I celebrate everything you do and I learn so much.

Thank you Prince for being a service dog for other dogs. ❤ I wish Eddie could meet you. I have a smaller (40 pounds) rescue dog who was a 9 month old stray. I have completed a 4 week dog training class on basic commands and leash reactivity. The trainer reassured me that he is not aggressive. I have also been going to the dog park where he loves to play chase with other dogs. He has high energy and gets to socialize at the park. He tends to run , wrestle and “play bite” with other dogs and the dogs he plays with have similar behaviors. Several times when he is too excited another dog has corrected him which I welcome since socialization is my goal. However recently a dog who had approached him to play raced out of my sight and a woman came yelling at me that he had bitten her dog-I know he can be “nippy” when he plays and unfortunately she was reacting so strongly I couldn’t talk to her. Her dog appeared like she was ok to me but I didn’t get a chance to get up close. I have had 5 rescue dogs and have used the dog park for 20 years so I felt shook up from this incident. When my dog is running around with another dog-both tails are wagging and there is some wrestling and what appears to be playful “nipping” I feel reluctant to step in what appears to be a positive socialization experience for both dogs. I have stepped in when it appears that Eddie is getting overly excited -especially with a group of dogs. I have also noticed that play styles seem to be different for different breeds. Any tips or video suggestions on what is appropriate/acceptable from trainer would be appreciated.

I mentioned these videos to my wife at dinner today. She knows a little about training since she has competed in equestrian in two Olympic Games. Anyway, she brought up the story of one of her horse show friends who had a similar problem with their Australian Shepherd and their solution was to get the dog involved with competitive frisbee. It worked well with the Australian Shepherd as it pushes all of the dog's internal buttons and gets them a lot of exercise.

I agree this dog needs a job AND a diet. He'd be easier to handle it he wasn't 20+ pounds overweight.

I can't stop watching these videos, there is so much love here, every dog has good in them, some just have mental problems and fears that take the lead over them. Exactly like with humans. Except when it comes to us, "trainers" like Beckman are even rarer, and the 99% of people that would need "corrections" get the very established equivalent of e--collar (psychiatric drugs, psychiatric or correctional facility) which have never worked, but nothing changes.

You're doing great with prince he's such an amzing dog he never acts violently

Aussies can be very headstrong and bossy, they were bred for these traits! We could argue he needs a job, but he needs to be able to regulate himself and his impulses to a degree to do that. Honestly, might be a good candidate for dietary supplements or maybe medication, it could help get him from overstimulated to a place where he can make sense of corrections and consequences. Diet might also improve attentiveness, so consider reducing sugar spikes. Kudos to everyone involved in helping this pup have a better life! 💜👍🏼💪🏼

REALLY REALLY interesting sessions with Mcoy. I’m learning a ton.

dude idk why your channel was recommended to me but i love your dog and your relationship with it, and how you use him. it's great. really a lost art. good for you and wish you all the success

Agreed. He's got a tough life, but he's clearly an empathetic dog and this is his lot in life. It's beautiful ❤️

Get him onto a treadmill to help with his energy. Probably more laid back when he is tired. Good luck!

Well first I wanna say... Great job Mr. Beckman and Prince... When you instructed owner to grab him. Prince was like.. I'LL GRAB HIM FOR YA DAD.

You can tell these people love this dog so much and they have tried everything. Prince is such a great trainer. You can tell he is not traumatized by other dogs naughty behavior.

I watched the incident like a million times. Prince needs a medal, he's so controlled. Prince is fully behind with clear access to the throat and he just holds his position like angry dog you're making a mistake I'm a seasoned vet!!

Have the owners said what age the Collie left its mother? Most dogs would have been taught some boundaries from their mother, he seems to have missed some steps in his development. Prince did a really good job of trying to put him in his place. The Collie"s energy is hard to watch, his mind is frantic. Thank you for sharing his time with you, I look forward to seeing more.

I've learned a lot from your channel. Thanks!

I get this is off topic but can we just take a moment to admire how absolutely gorgeous Prince is. Not only does he have a great temperament but he's also one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen.

ppl don't understand that sometimes only a dog can teach a dog manners and behaviour that is right...

I had a dog who helped teach dog manners. Her name was peaches. She really helped my friends dog annie. Annie is a hound rescue who also was attacked by two pitbulls so she is very reactive. When she meets dogs she used to howl in their face and panic, which would normally cause the other dogs to freak out and react. Peaches would never react shed give me the "mom what the hell" look wait a secone then correct annie. It calmed annie down around other dogs alot and helped with the anxiety yelling. It was always the hardest holding back and letting peaches give corrections. I just found these videos and its cool watching prince do it to the next level. Ive been around alot of dogs, and trained gun dogs for a long time. I think letting dogs teach eschother some manners works with their behavior instead of against it and is so effective

The dog whisperer has nothing on You, Price, and Bosco. Mad love for how all of you train dogs.

prince is awesome love the channel very informative and the way you explain it is awesome

Prince is a phenomenal doberman. I had a doberman/rottweiler mix as a kid, and she had so many of the beautiful doberman qualities, but there's something about purebred dobermans that is really lovely. Maybe to some other people seeing the flying fur is startling, but I enjoy seeing the power of a doberman who is teaching another dog how to behave. You have to let dogs be dogs, ya know?

I'm sure many will say... oh this is a herding work dog, this is what they do... Every dog has an instinct from breeding, but training to harness an unwanted behavior can be accomplished... My Granddaddy had several cattle dogs, He retired the oldest to the house with Grandma while he worked with the younger dogs... He had one that kept chasing and killing the chickens. Grandad did everything he knew to correct this with no success... The other dogs started following this bad behavior of killing chickens. Grandma finally had enough of her chickens being killed. She let Old Buddy out. I wont go into details but Old Buddy schooled those dog real quick not to chase and kill Grandmas chickens... Prince is an added bonus to Beckman's Training. Trust me, Old Buddy wasn't as kind as Prince... Great job Mr. Beckman (Wonderdog) and Prince. :)

Prince is really just a dog behavioural therapist 😂 he does a grand job and hes such a clever obedient dog.

thank you for your videos and being so straight forward and really helping other dogs and explaining. Every dog needs to be disciplined and that gives everybody a good life and enjoyment.

Prince is Amazing! He stopped instantly in his tracks as soon as you called his name, super well trained and obedient, he's the perfect trainer for other dogs imo
