She did learn to predict the leash correction you were doing earlier only after a few times while being very focused on Prince. Her brain was still able to work out a way of minimizing the correction by approaching you before you did it. Clever girl. She was being very sweet and playful while muzzled because she had no other option of behavior. Amazing how some dogs are incredibly perceptive and too smart!

My Doberman knows when the correction is coming to and her reflexes are faster then mine… she’s braced for it before it happens.

Same but no dog yet. And I’m also learning about myself.

I’ve been wondering about that, when I apply a correction-which my dog needs less and less- he seldom looks at me unless I speak to him. He’s hyper focused on everything around us, sitting quietly, not reacting, but it’s as if he’s aware of me without needing to look. That’s probably when I should add the knee bump to redirect his focus back to me. As usual, I love hearing the play-by-play voiceovers during each session.

My dog is highly dog reactive like this, and also very playful. But she goes at dogs just like this. Watched this closely, and rewatched parts of it. Thanks to Beckmans' for this great information.

These lessons actually help me handle my personal life with more confidence. Especially when interacting with difficult individuals. I can hear your voice in my head for a second saying something like, “This disrespect is unwarranted and I’m over it.” 🤣

While watching, I'm always checking to see how much time is left. I don't want them to end. I'm glad Joel makes them often.

It's great to see other comments and realize we are on the same mindset of watching Joel share all this information to be a better leader and give our dogs a better life. Again, thank you!

I had a neighbor growing up that had a Doberman. This was back in the day when dogs were outside dogs. He was in a small fenced in area. Once he got out and got in a fight with my dog. He use to bark all the time and seemed mean. I never liked them since then……until this channel. Prince has won my heart 💜

These videos feel like dog training videos for people. Like, I feel like I'm being trained. It's fun. I have a friend who asks me to watch her dog Paisley. It's a miniature pinscher. Surprisingly intelligent, but strong little dog. I've seen her interact with other dogs, and she'll start pulling the leash and freaking me out, but when she gets to other dogs, she just kind of sniffs them and interacts with them surprisingly normally. I never consider these things when I'm caring for a dog. I often consider the animals feelings, but I'm not the least bit experienced in how to handle those situations. I greatly appreciate these coaching practices. You're amazing!

she seems very cautious about her rear end that she reacts badly when other dogs go near it.

Another great one! Just when I thought I've learned what I need to know, you teach me some new nuance.

That's a Dobermann, they are smart as hell. You should know, you have Prince.

Love these! I learn so much from every video!

Another great video showing us all type of different dogs , breeds and situations. Keep it up brother . Happy thanksgiving to ur family and to the beckmen KZread family

Thank you for all you are teaching us!!! I've learned a lot, really!!!!! 🐾🐾

This is my favorite thing I am learning from you teaching us--that dogs have a sign they show to us that brings us what we need to teach corrections on the spot. Since they can’t have exercise without dog association , this learning is super critical for us and them. I have learned more from your training , than from the other 3 or 4 excellent trainers on the web. Please know this and keep up your incredibly helpful training videos !!!! Thank you so very much!!😊❤

Dobermans are that smart! Lol. I have a Doberman mix, and he is that smart to figure that out quite quickly. That couple really have there hands full with this dog. That is a dog that if you give in inch, will take a mile. Consistency, Consistency, Consistency. That's all I have to say about their beautiful puppers 😁

Imagine having a dog that’s smart enough to trick you into giving them an opportunity to attack another dog. Absolutely horrifying tbh.

This was one of the best ones I’ve seen

Thanks for another great video - from the UK.

This one is the most like my newest dog I've seen so far. Flips out when hearing other dogs, heavy pulling when he sees one (I've eliminated most of the other pulling using your method but it's just not enough when he sees other dogs), not looking at me after corrections, very boldly coming into other dog's space, but he once he meets it's all fine. Edit: well except for the attacks...

keep up the good work Joel ,love your work :) regards from Norway

Had a friend who worked with Doberman's in the Army. They were too smart to serve in war. They knew they were going out there to die-they're as intelligent as a nine year old child. They're arguably one of the smartest dogs in the World.

This is a great video for my reactive doberman mix. He is unpredictable, but he does like other dogs... But only sometimes.

Interesting. IMHO she’s unusually focused (obsessive?) like the way she trotted along the pool rim for a while; could see her benefitting from some work & fun...something w/thinking & stamina. Maybe she was a watch dog in a yard of some kind or has the breeding to be especially independent & obsessive. Good to see how JB’s method develops rapport in tougher cases. Luv the goal for a sociable dog🐕

You are right Joel, she realized she couldn’t snap with the muzzle on, so she tricked you into thinking she was being good. Doberman’s will trick people to get their way. Mine does anyways.

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I found your channel yesterday, and I've been binge watching. I have a 2 year old pit who's fence reactivity at my and my wife's new house with dogs passing by has scared me into letting him meet new dogs. He's playful and submissive to our parents dogs, but tense around new dogs. I think some of it has to do with my tension. I'm learning just as much from your behavior as I am from the dogs. I need to be confident and proactive to the warning signs and be ready to step in and give correction before things happen. Confidence seems key!

I think one thing is to really try to keep track of your own body and how you're feeling. I brought my 8yr old pit you the dog park recently just to work on leash reactivity, not even letting him play with other dogs, but just reading training him to stop lunging. I noticed my heart rate and pressure going up as well as my body getting tense. I had to remind myself to take deep breaths periodically and relax. Dogs can probably pick up on this and react to this as well.

Amazing video. I really love Masha in these videos she is so sweet

Can this dog be rehabilitated? She seems to be bothered most by the friendly Retriever. Kudos to these committed owners for investing in their dog & coming from afar. I can't wait to see the second video! 👍

Your videos made me fall in love with Dobermans 💖

These videos are so helpful.

This is exactly how my dog is with other dogs, minus the barking. Even trying to play after she meets them. Absolutely our fault not socializing her more but between where we live and the pandemic, we did the best we could. You're right about owners not wanting anything to do with you when your dog reacts like that! And I don't blame them, but man only makes the problem worse. Thank you so much for this.

Me beauceron learned that having a muzzle on does not allow to eat garbage/scraps. So, when off-leash, she was not even sniffing/looking for it so much. As soon as the muzzle was off - she was starting to "hunt" for these.

Wow another great lesson 😮 I love corrections prac 2morow nxt ur so on point 💯% Thank U 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Love your videos I've been binge watching im new

Great instructions for us. Learned a lot, but most importantly that it's not okay for our dog to just "roll up" to another dog they're meeting for the first time. Many other dogs will try to diffuse this type of rude behavior because they don't want trouble, but certain individuals take it "personally" when approached brazenly. Of course, then a fight is more likely. I really enjoy your videos. The cameraperson is highly skilled, as well! That's not easy, because everything and everyone is moving around a lot! You've got a great team!

She looks like she had pups!!

One of the best dog trainers in the world

Prince was like wtf bro thought we were playing 😂

When is "rent-a-Prince" going to happen? I could use one! 🤣

Her meeting Prince had plotwists! Loved it

You do have the perfect environment to help you out. It's hard work when we are being approached by random dogs, it's so tricky.

I love your Videos. Even without a dog. I want to know how it works before doing it wrong. Thank you so much.

Fantastic

Analogies between kids and dogs are so helpful. People allow their dogs to do to other dogs things they would never allow their kids to do to other kids.

My Dobey was the same, wouldn't bother at all with a muzzle on. So it does happen, but that often. I love prince, keep up the good work

That ridgeback is the sweetest dog.

dudes a natural

Yep, knows what a muzzle is. Smart dog. Probably remembers a grudge too.

Omg she is thick chested! I can see why she is so strong and pulls with such force.

Excelant

She's just like my dog other than going at Prince a little bit. My dog never looks, is hyperfocused on other dogs and is way too smart for her own good. She isn't aggressive at all. But otherwise she's just too much. We need more material on this dog. Thank you!

Hi Joel!! Amazing video!!! I didn’t know that I was supposed to discipline my dog Lilly more when she’s overstimulated by other dogs on our daily walks.

Not surprised she realized - she's a damn doberman. Dobermans are smart in a way I've never seen in any other dog breed.

The foster I took in two months ago is EXACTLY like this dog. He’s a dogo argentino and weighs 55kg which is my weight. I’m having such a hard time with him and none of the trainers I’ve been to has helped the slightest. I don’t know what to do, I’m at a complete loss. Nobody wants to adopt him because he’s too much which means I’m stuck with this strong, terrible mannered dog because I just can’t give up on him, if they take him to the shelter he’s never coming out of there and I couldn’t live with that 😕

@Elsa's Lair Is he neutered? If not, that would be my 1st step to getting him under control.

I used a gentle puller on my pit. She learned to stiffen her neck so her head wouldn't turn. Taking her to dog park resolved the issue

Same breed they fancy each other 😉

Did part 2 get posted? I can't seem to find it.

I like this vid and I've been watching alot of your vids on leash reactivity and dominance. I'm at the point now where I can't bring my 3 yr old 95# boy to the dog park anymore because he goes at other dogs, not all just the ones that don't submit, have too much energy (i.e. sprinting into the park or around), are intact, or all the above, or hell, is a husky or doodle. This last time he could have been blinded in an eye because the other dog got a nick on the inside of his bottom eyelid. My dog def started it by posturing over him, both got stiff, and then my boy followed up by trying to nip his face. He was trained at 2 with a prong collar and an ecollar. He was having issues going up and nipping people (mostly guys) that got too close on walks and pulling. He has great obedience on leash now, except for when a dog comes by. Not much we could do about dog reactivity because he'd behave at the dog park which we trained near/in as well, and there weren't dogs in the neighborhood to walk by and practice with. I'm incredibly frustrated at this point because more than likely the use of those tools exacerbated an issue that could have been handled differently. I've learned a lot, but even if I use a muzzle and a gentle leader, I doubt I'm ever going to find someone that's willing to even walk near my dog to give these methods a shot. I can't even do it now on a regular leash, people just turn around or across the street. And same goes for the park. The weird thing is that he builds to the level of confidence to snag onto another dog when he goes to a new park. After he goes once, he's not easygoing the next time. He will listen all the way up to the gate to the main park and sit and stay just fine. But once he's in, I've seen him run down other dogs or wait till they get to him to snag and pin them. He always knows he's done wrong after but it never makes a difference. I will give the muzzle and gentle leader a go, but I'm doubtful he's ever going to get back to how he used to be. I think he'll learn to not react on the leash and to ignore. But I doubt he won't not go after those specific dogs once the leash is off, even if the muzzle is on, and I've seen how common people react to muzzles. I fear he'll just be a long walk boy. Sorry for the pity party, I really want him to get better and after that last visit, feeling a bit hopeless. Y'all get on your dogs early and my personal experience says to stay away from ecollars and prongs if you want them to be around other dogs. If you've made it work I'd like to know.

Try exercising your dog before going to the dog park. That will help exhaust some of his energy beforehand. Don't know your training methods, but sure Joel could give you some pointers. Also, when you do go to the dog park, walk around with your dog on the outside of the fence first for awhile, let your dog meet through fence. Only you can determine (if) and (when) your dog is ready to go inside the park.

I appreciate this video. 4:41... Benefit of a gentle leader in this case... A prong collar can make the dog just like another dog more, but they can also stop the dog from pulling...

I always see little dogs to this.

I've been watching Beckman's videos for the past 8 months since we've adopted our dog. However, now I have a question. With our dog (14 months hunting mix), these types of corrections work when done multiple times for the same situation (same dog, same moment, same dog/trigger). But he flips out again the same way like the corrections didn't even happen on certain other dogs (usually unneutered male dogs; my dog has been neutered 2 months ago). So if the situation/scene/dog/day changes, he's at it the same way. Any advice? He's not aggresive, never was. He's "just" reactive to certain dogs or triggers. Any advice?

I can't find Part 2. Can someone link it please? I looked through the next couple months and only saw newer clients.

Is there a gentle lead you recommend?

Link or name of the gentle collar used? Thanks!

Please could I have a link to that gentle leader that you use? thank you

Was there a part 2 to this one? Joel mentions it in the voice over but I don’t see it posted… maybe I’m missing it though.

Do you recommend only a collar for this type of training? Currently, we have a reactive dog on a harness, Seems like correction doesn't work with a harness?

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is there any follow up video of luna? My dog is in the exact same situation as luna

What size muzzle do you use for the Doberman? We weren’t sure when going to buy one because of the long, narrow snout.

I thought I would try your techniques. Im still not sure and it's quite interesting how every dog is different and something's just create more problems.

What Muzzle brand do you recommend?

Meisha: "Ow oh, after you sir"

Hi Mr. Beckman, thank you very much for all your videos. This one was very interesting vor me. I am writing to you from Hungary. I own a 3 years old cane corso female with good obedience. The problem I have is not the one you have shown in your video because the other dog was not agressiv. My problem is hungerian specific that the dog owners overhere do not sociolate there dogs and always keep them in the garden. So in case that dogs (no matter how small or big) have the possibility do leave their section they will immediately start to attack my leashed dog not every time very honest - but.... And than I have a problem because my dog will defend. Do you think I can get my dog to be more relaxed? I have tried a lot of things....

Just found your channel yesterday and absolutely love your vids! I'm curious why between Bosco and Prince, you've stuck with the Doberman breed as a helper dog. Is it just your favorite breed personally or is it something about the breed that makes them effective for this sort of job? I know they're typically used as guard dogs, so it's interesting to see them so effective as helper dogs, too. Would actually be a sweet video of which breeds are good for what roles and why, particularly as a helper. Thanks again for the awesome vids!

Since Joel did not reply, I would just mention that I too work with dogs and my own are Doberman. There are many good breeds but the Doberman's mentality, when trained properly, is extremely stable and confident. Their high intelligence gives them an edge to read other dogs and humans, but they do not have a propensity to bite, like some might think. They handle stressful situations with ease. They also have extreme agility and will usually be able to evade other dogs. You will notice how Prince evades attacks from other dogs and never actually returns with a bite. He brings the teeth out, but he is giving warnings.

Hey Joel! Another great video. We have used the gentle leader for our year old Siberian husky. Since using it he has became leash reactive with dogs, any advice on this? He’s not ready to phase out the gentle leader yet.
