What I love about the training with this dog is how you allow the owner to be “trained” along with his dog which is so amazing to watch! Us owners need to learn along with our dogs usually & once we get it then our dogs have an easier time following our lead. You guys are so amazing for working with the dogs that most trainers don’t want to deal with because I’m sure this training is going to change this family’s life for the better 🤗

The gentle leader leash was seriously the best decision I’ve ever made. Turns their heads, but you also don’t have to pull that hard to get them to understand.

That is a huge transformation in only 1 session. That goes for the dog and the owner, nice work Joel!

I love that the owners get the same praise in the same voice for doing well as the dogs! 🙂

What I love about Joel‘s methods is they are practical, easy to use and accessible to everyone, if they just put their mind to it.

Your not just a trainer your a great coach and mentor.

That dog was just smart enough to eventually realise he couldn't charge/lunge anymore. He still had all the bad intentions and based on the response from the other dogs it wasn't just dominance. He just wants a death battle for fun. The intensity of the corrections and demeanour of the owner was no where near convincing enough to change the mindset of any dog let alone a stubborn bulldog. As Prince indicated, dogs like that will never take a correction from another dog. They need to be made to understand that behaviour is completely unacceptable by their owner, ideally the first time the dog ever eyeballs another with intent. If my dog even looked at another dog like that for no reason he would immediately know he's at risk of being torpedo kicked into oblivion despite the fact I've never laid a hand on him before. They have to know it doesn't matter what their intensity is, yours will easily overwhelm it and any other option is futile.

The Head Haltie was a game changer for this dog.

Really awesome session and great results, he's an awesome olde english bulldog just needs some training with the owner

Wow,the owner seems so kind and really wanting to help his dog succeed, amazing

this feels so human and nice makes me excited for sunny days again

Another success training the owner! On my walk today with my 30 pound brown dog, Katie, we passed 3 dogs, 2 bicyclists and a skateboarder. We weren't perfect, but in criteria! We even stopped and chatted a bit with the couple with the 2 dogs. The gentleman started talking about how his dogs just want to meet other dogs (because his was pulling and a bit reactive). I said that you never know. He was proud of the gentle leader he had on his Golden Retriever, so naturally I told him about Beckman's videos!!! The kid on the skateboard was nice enough to go past us a couple times and he even tried tossing a treat -- but he missed!!! Haha. Thanks, Joel! We couldn't do this 6 months ago. Keep teaching!

All I think of when seeing dogs in a harness is that you are giving them the best tool for pulling you, on the other end of the leash. Just thinking of sled dogs, the harness distributes the pressure of the weight to make it the least effort to pull.

I just want to give a kudos to the owner. He obviously is a loving dog owner and did a great job understanding and implementing Joel's advice. Great job.

Man thats a gnarly meeting with prince at the beginning. Just odd how a dog can go from a puppy to thinking "im gonna go up to another dog and start being a maniac and be a bully"

The timing and criteria for corrections are the 2 hardest things. Didn't realize how much of that is not instinctual until I got a puppy with my partner who has never trained a dog before. It's been years since I've had a puppyd but I think my partner might be the harder one to train lol

We recently started watching your videos during a period we were fostering to adopt a highly reactive, prey driven, easily aroused, anxious 2 year old Pit bull. Of course the rescue only told us he was reactive to hoses and chuck-it sticks. He showed no red flags before we brought him home. We quickly learned his reactivity extended to other animals, tractor, vaccum cleaner, etc. that I reported back to the rescue. Over the 6 weeks we had him I began to implement your leash protocol along with taking a basic obedience class, working a clinical behavioral relaxation protocol, exercise, doing TTtouch, body wrap, using rescue remedy etc. (which I have used on other rescue animals) and started to see some big changes. To help us with our final decision we took him to Doing Right by Rescues (recommended by the rescue) to get some more ideas on helping him. I had shared with her all of his known triggers, what I had been doing with him, and that he had been improving. She stacked one trigger on top of another in an outside setting. I had shared that he was a different, more reactive dog outside. She instigated a major hose reaction by shaking it at the nozzle then frantically calling me to get him off of it when her bits of kibble didn't work. I had been working on redirection & disengagement with increasingly good results. She generated a report which led to the rescue telling us to return him, our home had too many distractions, ie. chicken, horse, deer, etc and she suggested he be in a home without a lawn tractor. We were allowed no say in the decision. Less than 2 days later he was back at the shelter, whimpering, visible upset & confused. We had visited the rescue one time early on in our foster to pick up a few things and have a play date. He was excited to visit at that time. The women that terminated our foster did not have the courtesty to even speak to us and learn the valuable information we had discovered during our foster period. I was told that he had an appointment with a potential adopter later that day. It took the poor dog almost 3 weeks to start to decompress when he arrived at our home, to not jump up at every sound he heard, to learn to self-soothe and to start to focus on me, his main handler. In his short time on this earth, he has been bounced around quite a bit. I counted our home as his 10th placement . I apologize for the rant. (We came to love this dog.) I will continue to watch your videos & learn. I wanted my saga to be a cautionary tale for others. Sometimes when you think you are doing the right thing, it turns out to do more harm than good.

I was just thinking about how a regular dude would do with some Beckman training. Looks like a success

I love your honesty in giving people free training through your videos. Absolute stars like you are what made me a success in other occupations - photography, print collecting, martial arts strategy, and so on. Awesome people giving awesome advice. Nothing beats in-person training, but you can do much with little for sure.

May hand automatically popped a leash correction holding my phone watching the dog lunge at the other dog! I’m a proud partner with my Black Lab girl Darcy Athena & Service Dog. I’ve owner trained her from 8 weeks to 6 years old, I’m always keeping up her skills and working on new ones. The corrections with the gentle leader are obviously very effective. She’s great at off leash heel. The gentle leader with her Working Service Dog harness switches her into work mode and excellent behavior. Glad he was able to get success with his dog! ❤️😊

He accepted the gentle leader so fast. He didn't fight it, that is a huge thing.

Training the owners and the dog at the same time and teaching all of us!! Thank you for these vids! Thank you to the clients & Biggie, too! 🐾❤️

Who’s that Kook trainer 🤙🏼. Joel you’re the best man

Love this! Hard dog for the owner but he will definitely be changed a bit for the better now!

Congrats to 200.000 subscribers!

Well done everyone, you made so much progress so quickly!! 👏😊 Joel, I've always wanted to be a dog trainer. Like as a little kid, I remember stealing slices of bread to teach the family dog tricks 😂 Growing up I did the normal teenage girl things, you know, like research dog behaviour studies and operant conditioning etc, again normal teenage girl things. Because of your channel, I'm now inspired to actually start making this a career for myself one day. So I'm going to do some courses, get all official, keep watching your channel and then go for it! All I want to do is help dogs and their people live more happier lives. Really excited about this next chapter, thank you so much Joel for everything you do!!!

Can’t recommend enough on the gentle leader. Fixes most problems

its always a great night for me when beckman uploads! :D

This is where we need to bring our dogs. We have A LOT of dogs.

Joel your unique style is fantastic I use your stuff with my Swiss white shepherd s especially the leash pop !🇦🇺✌️🐶

I LOVE the loose leash!!! Fantastic Job! @8:10 the dog went forward creating a tight lead, and the owner corrected. In that type of situation, the owner should have leaned forward creating slack in the lead, and then a quick snap from a loose lead. Never correct from a tight lead. The lead should NEVER be tight, except for that instant of a second during the correction, and then immediately slack again. Also, the owner is still hesitant walking away and waiting on the dog, he needs to just walk away with a SNAP on the lead. Stop waiting on the dog. Overall, Great Job!!! I really liked it.

Love this. Great work all!

Awesome video! Thanks Joel!

Thanks! I totally learned something.

Great work. I had work on this method in all from previous videos.

Great video. Owners have to learn how to read their dogs. Its hard but doable.

This guy needs more subs ur for sure gonna have a million soon

I really enjoy videos like this great job :)

Hi Joel! Thank you so much for another great video, me and my partner refer to your videos all the time and will tell anyone that will listen how amazing you are! You have helped us to raise 2 loving dobermans! I’m really keen to understand how you have trained Prince to not have same sex aggression with other dominant males? Dobies are known for it and our boy will show aggression towards males and cannot be trusted to meet male dogs, we correct always but wonder how you did it with Prince?

Damn your good at this stuff

I actually adore how swift this guys reactions are to his dog blowing up, as soon as you told him how he needed to correct him he was on it 🙌 Best kind of owner to work with 💜

Hey Beckman family 🐾💌, Awesome video as always. This is my dog all the way DOMINANCE Rottie mix the bigger the dog he reacts. He's getting better from changing things up and consistent every walk if he reacts. Good job to that family ✅🐾

I find all your training has great insight. In the past I used a gentle leader collar with our poodle and it made a big difference in walking nicely and that dog did not fuss much when we introduced, fit the collar. Now we have an American bulldog and when we fit the halter on his nose, he scratched at it constantly and did not walk. Now we use a prong collar, seems to work, but I would rather use a halter. Any suggestions ?

Love your videos wish my cra puppy could see you once & prince she just turned 8 months and tries to dominate any and all

I need to work on this with my german shepherd akita mix.

Cute boxer! Just like mine ❤️

Hey Joel, I was wondering if you can comment/make a video on how to handle other dogs being aggressive to your own? In one of your videos you say that Prince and Bosco were/are good at handling aggressive dogs, because you made sure that they didn't have any bad experiences until they were a year old, however, I'm not sure how to protect mine in practice. I have a 10-month-old dog that is behaving wonderfully for her age and is really well socialized/friendly with people and dogs. Last week at the dog park a massive dog came up to her (my dog is only about 14 kg) and started aggressively barking. At first, my dog ignored it, and then she tried to evade and walked to me. The other dog followed her and started lunging. In the end, my dog had enough and bared her teeth, snapped, and lunged at the other dog. I called her off at the time (and she obliged right away), as I was scared/surprised to see her displaying a behaviour like that, but in hindsight, I guess it was a healthy reaction after all the provocation? Either way, I felt guilty for not being able to protect her better and not knowing what to do, and also angry at the owner of the other dog, who largely ignored the whole thing and just came over to restrain her dog when things got out of hand already. Do you have any advice?

This is great. I have an Alapaha Bulldog that I got just as the VID hit in 2020, as well, we travel a lot for work, so she's had minimal dog interactions. She reacts just like this to other dogs on our walks. I've been watching your videos, applying your techniques during our walks and I've seen some improvement. I would like to try some of the socialization techniques however, how does one apply these techniques with other dogs outside of a trainer? I've attempted to take her to a dog park, walking her outside the fence, to work on her but people were not kind or understanding of what I'm trying to do and it caused more anxiety for both of us. I appreciate anyone's feed back, ideas and I'm in the San Diego area till the end of August if anyone is willing to meet up/help out.

My current foster dog is great with my dogs but is a reactive nut job on leash. I'll never get her adopted like this! Going to try these techniques, wish me luck!

I have a 7 month old 5 lb Yorkie. He’s such a sweetie and a great Walker except when we encounter other dogs on a walk. Do they make gentle leaders for tiny dogs? I’d love to break him of this. Thanks for all your great videos, Joel!

Seems like a great dog. Owners just needed to develop some leadership and they did a great job!!

The teaching should start at 6 weeks old not 1 year. People forget that the cute puppy ball of fur will become an adult strong dog. I keep telling people that a dog is a dog, not a toy...rules should overcome feeling untill behaviour has need. Established.....

Hello Joel! I'm enjoing your videos lately.Quick advice needed.I have three adult dogs,different age,different breed.They have never been trained.I wanna teach them on rules,boundaries,commands,etc.Please,tell me where to start!What are the first steps? Much appreciate!

I know you know but damn my dude you’re saving dogs from going to the pound and from picking fights. Really cool

Gratitude

In another video, I saw where you had asked for the leash to be attached to both the easy lead and the collar on Prince. I know it was your dog and it's very well behaved. At what point do you connect to both? is that part of the transition away from the easy lead? Thanks

What do you use when it's a French bulldog and they don't have a long nose?

Wow that lady is gorgeous

hi sir, my dog always does leash aggression every time he sees another dog. It's kinda similar to this bulldog reaction but instead of showing dominance, my dog is whining and crying hysterically. His drama often lead me being judge by people as a bad owner. 😅 I've tried this method but my dog still whining and crying.

Great job by the owner. Question - With dominance like this, since it's so much the nature of the dog (the breed in this case), is the goal to ever stop the staring and posturing or just control the lunging and barking? In other words, is there any reason to expect to make a dominant bulldog behave like a playful golden or is just not having freakouts the best to hope for?

What is that color called? i need to get a small one for a chiwawa. he goes crazy every time he sees another dog. i need to try this method... Thank you so much, your videos are amazing

The owner made a big progress. Dog too.

Before I ever came to this channel I thought that walking a dog with a lead around it's neck was cruel, and an insult to them, and that they should be in harnesses. I felt that dogs were my equals, so why would I do that to them? I still think that chihuahuas and tiny dogs should be in harnesses, but for certain powerful dogs I wouldn't even be averse to a choke collar now! The head harness is a game changer for many! I still don't see myself as being above dogs in any way, but I do see now that they need rules (the more the better) and that they don't take offence or bear grudges.

Is there a way to contact you for questions? I’m sure you’re bombarded with them but I have a situation I guess I’m having trouble reading?

Just curious, was this bull dog fixed?

What kind of leash is this ?

Awww my female European Doberman is named princess Zelda lol princess for short

Beckman, I was watching one of Zak george's vids, and he said something. He said that there is no such thing as an agressive dog, just that dogs behave agressively. What are your thoughts on this?

Is this a Ordinary English bulldog with tail?..

Training bird dogs is easier than training owners.

I just got a bulldog and it needs some.real training he jumps up at me.when I get the lesh out tries to bite the leash gets all CRAzy do you have any suggestions as.he is so big

Hey is there a method or video on here to stop a 10 month old doberman chasing shadows.

So I recently put a down payment to reserve a spot for my dog to go to you board and train. However, I’m a little concern wondering if I went through to correct legit source, or if I was scammed by a pretend source and page etc. Can you plz tell me where and how to go reserve my spot or let me know if I was scammed by a imposter

Has a halter on.

Why was his tail tucked the entire time ?

I’ve got a huge announcement. Real MEN still live in California. I know, shock, right?

Found part 2, never mind 🤪

why do people have such a hard time with being in charge of their dogs? Even this guy won't pull the dog when he's ready to go.

This owner is the least assertive person I have seen in years. Great job training him.

I like her pants

This is a great video because you can tell this owner has no clue how to handle a dog. Uncomfortable to watch. I wouldn't want to follow his orders if I was a dog. He's weak. No one, not even a dog, wants to follow a weak leader

I love that you call the mix a "bulldog" there is too much stigma around the term "pit" ♥️

Meat clappers

first

Check back in with the dog and owner in 2 months when this head-jerking method fails to teach the dog what to do properly instead of anticipating his head being yanked.

That dog is GOING to hurt either a person or another dog. Definitely the wrong owner for that dog.

Pathetic. I've watched some of this dude's videos, in spite of the fact that he was a despicable wild animal "trainer" aka prison warden. Some things he says make sense and he seems like a decent dog trainer, but in this case, I see two guys yanking around a poor dog, who showed no aggression. He approached the dobe in a playful manner, even casually turned to look at camera person. How does that demeanor warrant a snout yank? His barking at baseball parks is probably anxiety, not aggression. Write that down.

My trainer says to fix bad behavior you have to grab them by the balls.
