I love the basics. Mastering the basics is advanced skill development.

Great video! Would be awesome to see how you prep your treats n what you recommend

haha ... I'm one of those 'stay ~ stay ~ stay ~~~'. I will change it now. :D Thanks a lot.

Your channel popped up in my feed recently. I watched my first video because there were Dobermans in the intro and I now have a 6 month old male that was purchased from a breeder at 8 weeks old. My first Dobie passed away in 2017 at 11 years old and I fell in love with the breed. I subscribed to your channel because you are one of basically 2 You Tubers that actually make sense to me 😀 Your common sense approach is just refreshing and understandable! Thanks so much! I'm using your techniques on the puppy but also on a challenging 4 1/2 year old Doberman mix female. I feel so much more confident

Great stuff! It's nice to see someone go over the details, like the underhand/low treat feeding and how to build up the 'wait' period. Thanks!

Thanks for all of this, I'll highlight the bit about looking where you want dog to go, so good.

Valuable on so many levels!

This is a golden lesson. Thank you, Joel!

What a great lesson

brilliant! thank you.

This was great!👍🏻

Extremely helpful tips 👍

Thank you!

So very well explained thank you

THE BEST DOG TRAINING VIDEOS IN YOU TUBE. THANKS

Sitka is so cute. My heart lol

Funny the dog after a training exercise runs toward camera like "are you getting this". LOL. I need this before I get my puppy in the Spring of 2022. Thank you !

Best training video ever, you are amazing to share your knowledge with your fans. Thank you so much. I learn something new every time I watch your videos.

haha, I remember doing the stay...stay...stay thing. Then our trainer told us to walk around them - step over them - wave our arms around and jump up and down lol. It worked because in bronze obedience - the pup next to him got up and jumped all over him and Milo still held his stay :))))

Nailed it.

Love these tips. Especially body language leaning and looking where you want them to go. Thanks again.

They are always "good boys" when the camera is on. :)

Great session. I have been struggling with the bed and stay combo and I can see I am doing it wrong.

Hi, love the videos. Can you post a video on barking when left alone/in a crate?

I finally did the “pop”! My dog doesn’t usually rush the door….but he did today. I thought “yess I’ve got an opportunity”. He ran out the door and then “pop”. He looked at me like wth! I repeated it two more times and then he stopped at the door. We then had our walk! Which was a good walk

Need to find a dog that can’t stop jumping….I did like the ‘pro tip’ thank you.

Love your videos and breakdowns in them Joel :) *Just a quick edit because I rewatched the video, the sound was a bit laggy at points: 2:25, 2:38 and 6:24

👍💪

I’m so glad I found this channel ! So I have a question how do I stop my dog from being so greedy when he eats ? Like he literally finishes his food in about 7 seconds 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’ve done the ball in the bowl and used a slow feeder bowl and he still does it !

When I come in the house the dog was jumping on me, so I started making him sit with treats before I pet him. So far it works in only that scenario lol

Hopefully it works on my Olde English Bulldogge

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos - I have binged watched most of them since getting our puppy (GSD) on the 4th July. He is now 4 months old and I have learnt so much (most of which I now know he will understand better when he is approx 7-9 months old) and have enjoyed trying out your methods, which have all worked for me so far (with gentler approach). I do have a question though - why does my pup (male) put his ears flat back and start jumping and whinging very loudly when I go out of sight for a short while (to the bathroom for example). He occasionally does it during our walk round the block too - his ears will go flat back and he will start 'singing' and jumping on me. He doesn't do this with my husband. I assume there is something I am perhaps doing wrongly and would appreciate your advice. Keep up the GREAT WORK - love your channel xx

Joel… quality content. Only page i’ve ever subscribed to ! Luna our 7 month female husky is 95% perfect. Only issue we have is when playing with other dogs she gets ‘aggressive’ when they are close and she is getting a treat or a drink. Put simply she doesn’t like to share? Or feels threatened? She is super socialised, seems to be more recent. Is it just an adolescent thing?

Hey dog people 😊

Great video. I have an 11 mo rescue pup. She is high energy, before each training, I have her run and play off the energy.. She has a habit of eating her food too fast like it may be her last meal, possibly a side effect from pre-shelter and shelter life. My dog knows basic commands (with treats, occasional treats, non treat praise and hand commands)- sit, down, stay. We are now at “bed/park it “. Here is my struggle, even if I hide the treats- on the counter, in my pocket, in another room, she gets so locked into the treat that she won’t focus. I cue the behavior, then I mark the behavior (with a word, and hand signal) and then try to reward and reach for treat. So I can get maybe two attempts at training the new behavior and then it’s all about where is the treat and I’ve lost her attention. It’s like she’s starving. At that time, I stop the training. Can you spend some time discussing and hopefully showing how to train when treats becomes an obsession or how to refocus your dog’s attention. I hope I stated that clearly. I am sure several of your subscribers are struggling with this as well. TIA.

Great video! Stupid question: I've been told by some that dog names should be 1 syllable to be able to call the dog more easily and I've been told by others that a dog name should be two syllables so the dog doesn't confuse it's name with commands. Where do you stand on how to name a dog? Any other input on dog naming would be great as well.

Another oneee

I have a 9 month old big dog that is so unruley and jumps on me all the time. I am going to try this with her but she doesnt like to listen. We will see. She is half american bulldog and the father was half great dane and something else . I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. I have to keep her in a kennel in the house because I am taking care of my Elderly Mother and she has chihuahuas and my dog likes to jump on her too and I am afraid she will know my Mother down. I am going to keep watching your videos and trying your techniques. Thank you. I enjoy watching you train.

Awesome well explained video! I have a question about my 11 months old Golden Retriever. Is it too late to start crate training him? I feel like it's a great tool and routine to help with his anxiety inside the house. We've started doing it when he was a puppy but stopped once he became to big for the crate. Thank you sir!! Keep up with the videos they help a lot!!

Can I teach my 8 year old Maltese along with my Rotti/Lab puppy 😄 worth a try.

Thank you for some basics. Not all of us have reactive dogs. So am I understanding that you use touch for recall?

Is Sitka a Havanese?

My dog is distracted by the neighbor and she wants to play.

I’m having trouble getting her to stay. I have to get my hand signals right.

No matter what I do, I cannot get my small Labradoodle to stop going crazy when people come over randomly - family, friends, deliveries, etc. Can you please find a small dog like mine and do a video?

Throwing my name in the pot for how to keep a dog from sitting/not budging while on a leash/walk. Most people have issues with their dogs lunging, and I have the exact opposite. 😅

Foist

I have a Doberman that’s turning a year in about two months. She is so out of control on walks and inside our home, watching your videos I see all the mistakes I’ve been making. I hope it’s not too late to fix her behavior.

You use "hey!", "a-a", "off" commands but I have never seen you using a simple "no" command - why?
