My dog had something similar. Adopted her and she was a nervous wreck for a month, then got comfortable. I worked with her for 6 months and she was incredible. She loved playing, loved people, and was incredibly happy. At around 8 months she became crazy aggressive. She started growling, pulling on her leash, and eventually nipped someone. I thought I was the worst dog owner in the world bc I wasn't training her positively only- then eventually 4 or 5 weeks in I caught a full seizure. She was having small ones during the day and bigger ones at night. She was stressed out of her mind, would wake up with bruises and cuts, and lost control of her bladder, no wonder she was more aggressive. She's on meds for epilepsy and she's way different now. She's got her confidence back and is responding great to the repeat training lol. If your dog has a sudden change in behavior, take them to the vet. Its hard to find out whats wrong, because they can't tell us. Its our responsibility to notice whats wrong and take care of them.

Look into the ketogenic diet for epilepsy. If your dog was kibble fed, changing her diet to a real food animal based diet (BARF) will naturally improve her health. Our pets are getting the same dis-eases as us because we feed them the same grain based processed diet! Good luck.

@@sportysbusiness she ate high quality kibble at her foster home, and I transitioned her to a raw diet in the first few months after she came to us. Its probably a genetic or stress- caused disease. Also apparently dairy can make it worse so we completely cut all dairy :/ i would caution against telling the everyday dog owner against raw diet, as unless they sit down and do some math, completely avoid salt/preservatives, only give specific bones,and keep everything extremely clean, a raw diet can be more dangerous than kibble. I work at a vets office and some dogs on raw are as healthy as the vegan ones. Just my opinion tho, I do think a raw diet is the best way to feed your dog *if* you do it right.

Dogs are Pack animals and NEED to have a leader. The classic example of a dog living it's life to the fullest, is going Hunting, and being the best boy ever, staying put! until it's his turn... and doing everything just as it should, and getting a big lovely leg as a reward and lots of love around the bonfire. Carbohydrate rich diet with no purpose in life no real excersice no dangers and no real rewards, make people, and dogs, go mad.

Are all five of you a Public Subscriber to Joel’s channel. My understanding is It helps him if you are. You can tell who is a subscriber by clicking on a person's little picture beside their comment. Joel helps all of us for free.

I noticed you didn’t mention it, but the moment you introduced her to the male dog she didn’t like, after her having made a friend, once that dog was removed, her new friend was chasing her all over, trying once again to engage with her, but her mind was focused on finding that dog she marked as one she didn’t like. I’ve seen this before, many times unfortunately. The dogs I’ve seen this with are ones that were trained to fight. Because fighting dogs typically fight another breed the same as their own, they are trained to have an instant switch when a breed of their own (or whatever they’re trained to fight) comes around them. It’s how a fighting dog learns; as they have to be able to engage, switch on, that adrenaline response only when it’s required to fight. If they are triggered by every dog they encounter, their bodies are always in fight mode & these people (monsters) who train them to fight only want that fight response triggered when it’s time to fight. I’m wondering, as you say she was raised in Mexico & in an Auto Body shop, if she was raised in or around this environment. I recognized her behavior immediately as one who was raised in a fighting pen. Now, she might not have bern raised to fight, but just being around the environment would be enough to train her behavior as such; especially given you said it was the first months/year of her life, the most impressionable on behavior. And hate to say it, but Mexico? Dog fighting is a big time sport in many areas. Auto Body shop added to that? Let’s just say taking her behavior, her reactive response (and not being able to “turn it off”) along with where she was raised? I would highly suspect she was raised around the fighting environment just because, if she was trained in it, she would not trigger & stay triggered. She would have a fight response, then defuse when the dog was removed. Obviously, I can’t say this for sure, but watching her chase after that dog long after it was gone, along with her overall lack of true awareness (they don’t utilize awareness in fighting; only the instr in the & adrenaline to fight as they’re in controlled areas) leads me to believe this is the case. And if it is, the best way to bring her out of that is medication WITH adverse training. And some dogs that have been raised in these types of environments & absorbed the behaviors? They can never again be around other dogs; as it’s just too engrained in their personality (which is one of the reasons the fighting dogs are put down afterwards, sadly). Also, her lifting the leg ties into this, too. She’s been trained to have a dominate response & unlike other dogs, who will see a person as their alpha & back down in that instance, she has no desire to be part of a pack. It’s as if her natural instincts have been overridden. Which, again, I see with fighting dogs, as they’re trained to be 100% alpha all to themselves. Don’t know if I’m on target here, but wanted to mention it to you since it’s the first thing I thought when I saw her behavior & I’ve broken enough of these rings, studied them enough & the dogs, I know what it does to the poor dogs that are victimized.

Same here! My Gracie loose leash walks. If Joel sees this (and I hope you do) my only issue is the first 5-10 minutes after we walk out the door, the car, etc. She doesn’t storm out the door. She goes on my command but the second she goes, she doesn’t want to listen. After 5-10 minutes, her high nerves calms down and walks 1-2 hours loose leash. What can I do about those 5-10 minutes of hyperness??? She’s a 10 month husky rescued 3 weeks ago. I don’t want to make a mistake and risk her getting aggressive. She seems fearful. Other than that, she’s the sweetest. She does well with dogs and kids. She doesn’t bark at dogs. She also plays well with other dogs (she’s met quite a few dogs on walks, at the dog park, and the beach.) the only issues is that all her manners go out the door during the 5-10 minutes of hyperness 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd be really interested to see you do more videos on dog mental illness--the different symptoms you see, what you think they might mean, and how you help those kinds of dogs. There's a couple dog training facilities that I found after many hours of research, do something similar to what you do in the tristate area, in terms of getting dogs with other dogs, even if they are aggressive. Their methods aren't exactly the same but they are similar, and they ultimately try to get aggressive dogs actually socialized with other dogs. One facility is K9 basics in Marlton NJ, where I'm trying to bring our Bella to soon. The other I know of is K9 Connection in Buffalo NY--they also have a KZread channel, I think mostly under one of their trainers, Tyler Muto.

Yeah right, she just didn’t like to think or say her dog was crazy and not socialised. Why don’t people just tell it like it is? Instead of a friendly dog could get bitten?! It’s not the dog it’s the owner in denial of their dogs behaviour because they love them so much. Thank you for the video😊

Bare in mind Jack Russell’s are Jerks, i got told its in their breed.

Tom is so adorable! I just want to give him (and Prince) all the cuddles and pets. Such good boys!

Seeing that little pup play bow made my night, thanks Joel and everyone!

We use helper dogs at CHOCOROTT LTD based in Nigeria to assess and assist clients. Our main helper is our Toshi. A 6yo Rottweiler male, not neutered. Training for him started at 6wks. Not everyone is suited to train with a k9 helper and we love watching you. At Chocorott we're approaching dog training and handling from a perspective not widely accepted or understood, as of yet, West Africa. You and Cesar Millan are inspiring.

Just wanted to give you my thanks. My dog is slightly reactive to other dogs but that's more due to me living somewhere were having dogs on our walk is a rarity so it's hard to train passing them. I took him out to a route with a ton of dogs the other day and was able to have the leash laying loosely over my backpack while passing dogs. And that's only thanks to you. You truly are the GOAT in the dog training world. Period.

Makes a ton of sense what u said about anxiety and ocd. She only has a few behaviors as a dog that she can use to self soothe when she's anxious, and marking is one. Its just like when people do certain behaviors obsessively. Its not the thing their obsessing over thats important, its the feeling their soothing by doing so. Very interesting.

I just had a 1:1 call with Joel this week and we talked through this video because my dog is reactive like this around other dogs but she's a 40lb STRONG pit bull mix. She can sit outside on "place" for long periods of time and follows my commands perfectly when its just me and her. But then something snaps in her brain when she sees other dogs and she loses it. She has intense leash reactivity towards other dogs. She also started a couple fights at doggy day camp so we had to stop taking her. I am really grateful for what Joel is doing because I live in a large metro area in NC with lots of dog training options but all of the trainers want to do the same thing Joel mentioned - just turn around and walk the other way when we see another dog and slowly get closer to dogs in parks, but never actually have her interact with other dogs in a structured way like this. I am hoping after my conversation with Joel and watching all his videos, I can start making progress with my pup after a year of trying other unhelpful methods. I would also like to see a video on mental illness in dogs. My brother had a dog who would run into walls and never was able to learn commands. It was obvious she had some mental stuff going on. With my dog now, I can't tell if it's mental illness or she just never learned how to properly interact with other dogs and should be fine after a little guidance (I guess time will tell after I try the method in this video).

@Sean O'Maille Hi Sean. I actually sadly had to rehome my pit after trying for months to get her to not be so reactive. I am going into fostering and couldn't risk her hurting a kid by jumping up on them or even nipping and biting. If she was around another dog that she loved and got along with, she would play for hours and be so happy and get worn out. And she was great at commands and even walking beside me on a leash when nothing was around. Unfortunately I think mentally something was off with her and I just couldn't get through to her to help her stop aggressively lunging on leash. The one thing I would tell you is to not use a choke collar or e-collar. Those both made her reactivity and aggression worse. I've watched many of Joel's videos and he knows what he's doing so it may be worth connecting with him and take your pup to meet him.

For those whose dogs don't make friends immediately: my scotties are that way. They are "polite" but distant to new acquaintances. After multitude introductions they warm up and play more. You do have to take your dog's personal style into account.

I had a male Blue Australian Cattledog I resuced years ago that went into this mode along with a heap of anxiety from his backgroundand I could see him go into a red zone where he couldn't control his brain at all. He couldn't engage with dogs or people as he had had no experience with either when I first got him as he was reactive to everything! I found a Trainer/Behaviourist who helped me heaps and it made me decide to become a trainer and behaviourist myself so i could help him and other dogs. This Trainer tackled it head on and put him with other dogs firstly which at the time was against all the advice other Trainers said that have work with him! This Cattledog went on to become one of my best dogs and gained many titles and awards in various dog sports working around so many other dogs all because this Trainer knew how to help him! I'm from Downunder - Aus and Love watching your videos!

My male labrador seems to behave somewhat similarly while on leash. The sudden hyperfocus on another dog (almost always aggresive towards other males), or more often on a spot marked by another dog, that makes it incredibly hard to snap him back to reality. And the incesant marking. He just simply seizes to pay attention on anything short of a leash pull that almost lifts him off the ground. Walking him can be really exhausting. This is the total opposite of his behavior at home, were he is calm and attentive.

Prince is so cute jumping out of the bushes to surprise the dogs, seeing that totally made my week.

My dog gets like this in the fall when the squirrels are running wild in my neighborhood. She’s still trying to figure out how to climb trees. Joel - keep doing what you’re doing. Keep talking about the importance of using techniques other than positive only reinforcement. I know it bugs a segment of the dog training world, but it’s the truth and as owners we need to know there are solutions out there for us!

This is absolutely my dog Tonks. We've gotten her leash reactivity down at 50ft to almost nothing (will definitely look but won't pull even if we're walking towards each other) but last week we walked by the park for our daily walk/training session and she saw a dog she used to play with all the time at the dog park. I figured this would be a great dog to try and meet again through the fence. Sat her down, told her ok, then at the snap of a finger she completely lost it, ignored all corrections, growling for the first time ever at another dog, I had to actually pick her up as a 45lb pit mix and carry her away. The baffling thing was we got a little ways down the trail. Put her down. Made her sit. And she was perfectly back to normal. Not a care in the world. Other than this one hiccup she's perfect, great recall, won't touch a piece of food unless told she can. At a bit of a loss on what to do differently but going to keep working with her day after day.

She started at a level 3 anxiety instead of befores level 7-8.

So so glad i caught this. Seeing the boston actually play with her new friend was so inspiring! I would love to know how this girls mental status has changed and evolved. The boston running into Prince was what I call a happy accident (as noone was hurt) Prince has such an aire of fun about him ❤. I have a young dog i had recently thought was marking due to anxiety, he also seems to always want something in his mouth. It was great to see this at this time as it has directed me into addressing it. He also is kinda crazy stupid at times, hes going to need so much for the next year.... certainly keeps things interesting 🤔 i appreciate your videos so much, they are so valuable to so many. Thank you for contributing largely to my sanity! 😅

I have an out of control rescue from our local Humane Society. He is a 15 month old Havanese Bichon mix, a breed I have worked with over 30 years. I have never had such an out of control dog. He was crated for 12 hours a day. He may be overcome with excitement or he may be crazy. He gets into everything, this guy opens drawers, opens baby Aspirins with safety caps, jumps on furniture, night stands, drinks my coffee. This dog is Bat shit crazy. I walk him, I let him run around the apartment. He is almost air borne half the time. He really is on all day, too much energy but absolutely has that crazy look , worse I would say. I have had him 3 weeks, he has taken every single day completely up. He barks at cars, people walking by, he wants to be ON my lap, not by me. He is just nuts and he is cute but my nerves are frayed. I am not baby talking to him, being nice but firm. I dont care, I care about me staying sane so I can be a good dog parent. I have one week to take him back and I am really conflicted because he may just sense that I am alone and that he is going to run all over me. Should I rehome this guy in a family or with a couple with another dog? Reply

Great video, one of your best! Lot's of good info and help training my therapy dog "Sarge"! He is the twin to Prince!!

Man, what a tough cookie. Running into concrete stairs, slipping off walls, falling into a pool multiple times, running into Prince and getting kicked in the head…and all in one session! I have never seen a dog do this before. Very interesting to watch you working with her and I hope she continues to make progress.

Tom is so cute! I love Prince's magical disappearing act. I'm always amazed out how tough dog's feet are. They just run over that gravel like its nothing. There really does need to be more dog trainers like you in the world. Maybe you can start a class for people who are interested.

My big dog also goes crazy at the sight of other dogs. She wants to bite them. She has one dog friend who is behind a fence. And that took some doing. Glad this little dog belongs to someone who is working on a good life for both of them.

That doodles dodge game is on point.

Interesting behavior from the dog..I am glad the owner brought her to you and allowed the video to educate us. My dog gets very excited when she sees other dogs and loves to play with them.. my dog is nothing like this..

F-in fantastic...... at only 6 min in, My view is .... she loves him so much already, she barely can contain herself.

I have a 10 month old golden/ leonburger. His litter mate is chill and he used to be. I put him in doggy daycare once when he was eight months old and now he is super reactive to other dogs. Have tried a variety of tactics. He used to play with all the other dogs. Now he can only play with his brother and our next-door neighbor’s dog.

I do have a dog just like this, a small chihuahua. She has slipped her harness and gotten out a few times and started a fight with other dogs. She USED to lose her mind at the sight of any other dog and would be completely unable to control herself. After watching your vids and trying to implement some of your methods, there's been vast improvement in under a month. She is still nutty, she still has a strong physiological reaction to other dogs, she isn't ever going to be fully sane because it is mental illness as you describe - but we've been able to walk in the direction of other dogs and she is quiet, loose leash.

yep - this is my dog to a tee (xcept my dog is alot bigger than that Boston, and can do alot more damage). thankyou for the vid. something def wrong mentally w my dog. she was kept in a room of a house (not by me) for the first 5 months of her life - no interaction w other dogs / people / nothing. i have tried everything. she is very dog aggressive, but due to intensive training she is (mostly) manageable now - but each day - its like the previous days learnings dont transfer over (and she is 5yrs old). You are onto something that people dont talk about enough - if at all. Again - thanks for the video and guidance Joel, it is much appreciated. From Australia.

My GS is 4 months and I was starting to desensitize him doing the whole “distance” people/dog watch and I’m glad I seen this video bc I want to move that needle now and not waste my time while he’s young. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! The thing I need to find is a trainer in my area (Las Vegas) who can allow this meeting with several good dogs. Mine is more reactive when a new dog comes up toward him on or off leash. Barks, hackles stand up, and pulls back hard out of fear. He did however meet 3 other dogs a week ago all in his own backyard and of all of them he was most behaved. All of them ran around and played for hours. (All were females) But today we met a super sweet tiny chihuahua and flipped the hell out. She never barked once at him. And I could not calm him down so we had to crate him and give him his space.

Hi, Awsome info. My Stafy pup has same problem. Changing her diet made a huge difference. Went from 30% Protein Chicken based puppy food to 20% Protein kangaroo based working dog food. Saw major reduction in anxiety in 24hrs. Keep up the good work. I find it really helpful. Ben

My boston does that to my father's German Shepard as to biting the face or neck. But definitely not a maniac. Good video.

I’ve been using my spayed female German Shepherd like you use Prince. When I came across your videos I was glad to see somebody focalizing it. It’s cool because I can send people I see one of your videos and then help them out to myself. Thank you!

I can not thank you enough for your willingness to share your expertise. We rescued a female Great Dane mix this past March from a shelter and having never had a rescue I found myself needing to reeducate myself about dogs and training them. I have learned so much from you and your videos and have begun making changes to other behaviors that have been a problem with my other dogs. For about the first 3 months after we got this rescue, Charley, I was not sure if we could make things work with our other 2 large dogs a male standard poodle and another female Great Dane mix. The 2 females I thought would kill each other. After watching many of your video's I was able to find something that worked to regain my position as Alpha in my house and things have improved to the point that the 3 dogs get along amazingly well now. Our rescue dog Charley displays similar behaviors to this dog in your video. She was loosing her mind every time she even heard a dog in someone else yard. Total tunnel vision that was almost impossible to break. She is extremely food motivated and this was the only thing (waving a treat in front of her face) that would break the focus. I tried the gentle leader (witch I love but had no effect on her), treats, touching her like in your videos, changing directions etc. and had very little effect. I was so frustrated because she had learned to get along with my other 2 dogs but that was where it ended. Finally I reached out to a friend that has done a lot of dog training and has a really good female German Shepard who she has worked with other people to help their dogs and she agreed to see if we could get Charley to make friends. It has been rough. We have been getting the 2 dogs around each other but they have not been able to meet as of yet. Charley seems like she is slowly getting there and I am hopeful that it will get better as we work to desensitize her to this Shepard. One big success was that we tried was a choke caller on her instead of the gentle leader and she is very responsive to this caller so much so that I can walk her now and just make small corrections when she starts to freak out about another dog and she responds fairly quick and calms down. I don't like the choke caller but it has made such a difference that I am thinking about trying one on my other Great Dane mix Molly to see if she will be more responsive. I use gentle leaders on all my dogs and think they are best but my other female Molly at first the gentle leader worked wonderfully but she figured out quickly that because she is so strong she can fight me over the corrections and sometimes does. I would like to see that stop and she has gotten much better. What do you think about choke callers? Our rescue Charley seems to be very smart and notices things that I have never seen a dog notice before. Sometimes the strangest things set her off. I wonder about the damage that was done when she spent 5 months in the shelter before we got her. The girl at the shelter seemed to indicate that they had many aggressive dogs there, and Charley was severely under weight when we got her.

Prince realized that he didn't need to be a participant or observer any longer because the new dog made huge progress quickly, so Prince can discover new freedoms like jumping and hiding in hedges. Everyone is learning new skills today.

That leash manipulation in the field is top notch

My male Boston Terrier is like that, and he also has had a few seizures, he loses his mind when he sees dogs or cats, I have been able with 2yrs + training to get him comfortable around my sisters dog Buddy, but not the first 2 minutes, have to let him chill first or he bites Buddy’s face, (obviously I don’t allow him to) Once he got loose on a walk and went charging off across a field at a dog, there was a small pond between and he just swam through it to get to it, that slowed him enough for him to be caught by the other dogs owners thankfully, but that showed us he literally was so focused on getting to that dog he would lose all rational thought, your training and philosophy has helped us enormously, I do however usually avoid too much confrontation because of having 2 dogs it just becomes 2 leaping nutcases, 1 going for the dog and the other telling him off 🤷🏻‍♀️ they are Mother and son, I wondered if there was such a thing, like littermate syndrome, with having him stay with his Mum, that close bonding thing, trying to get his attention when we first fostered and then adopted was so hard, we got there though, thanks to your methods xx

The crazies marking my female jack russell did was getting on her front paws walking backwards to the bush and let out a giant stream of pee. Was impressed with her creativity. What helped with my dog's reactive was door manners until she calmed back down and back in her mind. Took a bit, but at the age of 3 she was a well behaved jack russell that doesn't jump and hardly barks. I set the stander and she figured out the stander over time.
