yes! and my dog is a rescue street dog and is exactly like Eva. Although there are also plenty of street dogs who are easy to handle. Rescuing is the way.

I just want to make sure, in case *anyone* doubts these videos, Ava was in AZ on 11/10. 11/11 was her first day with Joel. This is absolutely amazing change on 11/12. 2 days, 2 walks = different dog. Crazy good stuff

Watching leash reactivity on two separate days with the same dog is wonderful. We can see the difference between the initial walk and the dog’s reaction the following day was so much better.

This dog needs to be a series.

She's SO smart! Look at her, she totally gets it!! I'm so pleased for you, imagine how different your walks are going to be now!

After yesterday's video, I walked my 7 month old puppy using your method. It was so detailed and the sudden stops, to check if he was still 'with me' were amazing. Easily the best and most comfortable walk we've had. We're not perfect yet, but your videos have made a massive difference. He didn't tire himself out with the constant pulling, either.Thanks a lot!!

Thank you for showing a true walk with distractions OUTSIDE of the home. This is great to see and helps visualize things in harder environments

Best way to help a fearful dog, show clear leadership. Love these videos :)

You explain the process so well! It's making a difference with our dog walks!

Wow, the progress for this dog is incredible 🎉

“We’re not training the dog to heel, forget the heel” we needed to hear that! I love that I found you, this has been more informative than the 8month canine training program me and my boy did. Thank you. THIS IS THE WAY! 🙌🏻

So glad to see this followup vid so soon. What a difference. Thanks Joel - always hopeful when I watch a vid that really nails something I’m working on with mine

This IS the way! I have owned dogs all my life. Nothing in my past experience prepared me for adopting a large street dog. No obedience class training methods, pushing, pulling, kneeing... nothing stopped him from jumping, ( knocking me down a couple times), mouthing, bolting/pulling through doors and gates, etc. I was so concerned I ordered a gentle leader and muzzle. Before they arrived I studied multiple videos of yours. MY 1ST try using your leash method turned my dog from horrible mannered nuisance dog into a gentle well behaved joy to be around. I follow all you instructions. This IS the way. Even my 8 yr old granddaughter can walk him now, and hug him like a teddy bear. It's a magic method. THANK YOU I will never need muzzle or gentle leader now.

Dang! I expected to see some progress but this is amazing! I feel like Ava had her session, then spent the rest of the day absorbing and figuring out what the lesson was about. Joel is the GOAT of dog trainers but I have to give some credit to smart Ava too!

Here here! Joel is the Goat. Cesar us great, but Joel's methods are straight forward and have direct results. It seems anyone who applied themselves could ultimately achieve the same. Or can always have at least a phone consultation with Joel. Joel... you are the goat.

She’s so much better and it was good to see the freak out again and explained so well. Thank you. Hope to see more of this dog training, so many of us can relate! Even when you went to the fence to meet the goats and Tina and explained that. Every little bit helps.

AMAZING from start to finish. Her whole behaviour more relaxed in the office. Ava trusts your leadership already after one session with her. She can relax, knowing you are there to guide and protect her. I wish every Ava could get a Joel as a boss.

Wow that is just incredible. You would not believe it's the same dog... the owner's will be so happy and both will have a much more enjoyable life together. So happy to see this!

Nice job, Joel! You were much less exhausted at the end of this video than the last. 😆

I´m so happy to see this. I´m glad to see you with this dog and see the progress. It gives me a lot of self-confidence and courage to go further on my way with Bilbo with your methods. And look at her bodylanguage, her tail comes a little higher, no more just trapped between her legs. She begins to relax and trusts your leadership. Thank you so much, Joel

I've learned so much from your videos. It's truly incredible. Thankyou for everything!!

Good 2nd meeting of the dog. Smelling instead of lunging and barking. Love it.

thanks....i tell my 12 week old puppy those are your friends too 😂 she's a crazy puppy on her leash, but i've done mini sessions, then she is rewarded to sit by the gate and look out front, not complete with vaccines...but she's already calming down. as a rescue i don't know was done to with a leash, but maybe just her personality....love your videos. I haven't trained a dog for 20 years so you are reminding me all i learned from a fantastic trainer 20 years ago.

WOW!!!! Amazing!! The transformation! The BEST leash method EVER!!

I see improvement, and I see that she trusts you. This is good.

The explanations are outstanding! It was great that you briefly recapped so that if someone hadn't seen the prior video they could still watch.

Wow! The whole video she was fantastic compared to yesterday. The very end was amazing!

please carry on with updates on her. My dog is an adult street dog I rescued here in Mexico and is very very similar to her, it's like looking at my dogs behaviour. Your walking method has already improved my dogs' obedience and reactivity, I would love to see what you do next to help her.

Ava's doing so great! wow. When on a leash correction she did an air 180--that's my dog, so dog reactive. Thanks for showing all of this.

i have a husky and because of beckman's videos I am able to instill this awareness of the leash and owner into him. My dog used to to 'stop' more than me, now i 'stop' more on him and it checks out. He is more responsible for his reactivities and responds to the leash very well. Understood, during training it is about the leash and not you.

Thank you once again. In my opinion, the best You tube dog trainer.

Amazing job and outstanding demonstration !

wow, it's like she is a different dog. We love her eyes, she is such a beautiful dog so happy she was rescued. I shared the video with my husband and he had a question, why do you bend down and pull? If he has answered that question in another video can someone please link it? Lastly, you should do a tshirt that says, "I just don't care".

I can't tell you how many times I have laughed at work watching your video.

The bend down is so the correction is horizontal, instead of up. If it goes up the dog counters with its weight, and it's less effective. Also on regular collars it can hurt their windpipe.

Hello, I admire your work here on youtube. Your whole channel has been a gold mine for me and my puppy. I have a question that I am not sure was answered, or talked about here. How do you transition from the gentle leader to the normal collar? I have observed very good progression using the gentle leader but it isnt the same once its gone. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than it was without trying the gentle leader, but I was wondering if there is a way in which you can transition more smoothly from the gentle leader to the normal collar. Thanks again for the free treasure you are sharing here on your channel.

amazing it is all about timing and your own mind set nice to watch someone who knows what you are doing (on a side note: my son found a dog he might walk on his own, we can't have a dog ourselves. just for fun as he loves dog. I know the owner loosely, she got the rescue 10 months ago, walks him on a harness, he keeps pulling like mad.. it is a Husky mix so" that is what he loves..." (argh, and I am afraid I can't correct her dog (mis-) handling as she is the "professional" owning the dog. just a collar and this stopping exercise would work wonders)

Ok that is what i do wrong. I'll have to instantly release the the tension when my dog relaxes after an episode of reactivity and correction.

Joel mentioned distance, and it makes sense. Get them under control when you're far enough away and before they go from a 5 to 10. Took my boy to the dog park a couple of weeks ago. All we worked on was just walking up to the fence w/o going in. He was still too strung out for me to get inside. The other dogs didn't like his energy either. When it's too dark to see farther away, all you can do is watch for your dog's body language.

I’m no expert! I just have a rescue dog who I didn’t set strong enough boundaries with in the beginning of our relationship, and she basically views me as the ultimate resource that she needs to guard. She doesn’t guard food, toys, etc, but she guards me bc I provide all those things and I provide her with love, security, etc. She doesn’t have enough confidence in my leadership bc at first, I didn’t set up our relationship to show her I was the leader, so she thinks she has to take it upon herself to protect me from anything that might be a threat (such as other dogs). reactivity can be caused by a number of reasons like genuine fear, frustration about the leash, being hypersocial and undersocialized, poor impulse control, possessiveness of owner, etc. My dog doesn’t react to other dogs if I’m not around, so I know it’s about protecting me. Anyway, this leash method along with a lot of desensitization work, confidence building exercises, and hardcore obedience training have all helped immensely. Good luck!

@@motidda345 Thank you so much for sharing your experience! My rescue dogs are also reactive for many reasons, as you mentioned.

I notice all these walks are on the road, is that what I need to do when walking my reactive dog ? When we walk on grass or even next to it and the side walk it’s like the corrections don’t matter because he is always focusing on the next patch of grass 5 feet in front of him.

After seeing your video I followed your method with my 11months gsd, I see improvements! I see that he hesitates and he comes back to me before I pull the leash. Thank you!! What do I do when he freezes when he sees ppl and dogs, should I pull him or let him sit? He gets so nervous with everything, should I try to take him to a crowded park that way he can get used to ppl around him a bit?

I forgot to mention that on your last video with her I didn’t really notice a difference between regular high definition and your 4K camera. I would not use a 4K camera if it constantly heats up because then you could be missing filming some valuable footage

I almost thought my dog has a twin. My rescue Queensland Heeler goes bananas when we come across other pups or bikes you name it. The humane shelter said she was "fearful". She did respond to your method. She has made behavioural improvements in other areas, but reacting to another dog on leash is not ine if them. What length leash do you use and I guess it is not necessary to give a command (leave it) when correcting? Thanks for the videos. Hopefully I will be able to walk her around the neighborhood when other pups are about.

Excellent job!!!!

Awesome video Beckman!! You’re a beast 🤘🏼 she did incredible 👍🏼

Great video as always. Question: What is the significance of the dog always being on the left side? They do it in dog shows too, right?

yea right? I would too. We need to remember sometimes dogs are not robots. My dog freaked out at a horse the other day. Fair enough.

Do you think we can train our dog in time for a puppy to maybe help show the ropes? We have a 5 year old pit/boxer mix we've had for 3 years that was a rescue and we adopted her from foster owners. Fun part we're getting a puppy in 2 to 3 months, but my current dog isn't greatly trained and is very defensive barker (barks but backs up in process) for new people and barks like crazy if people are even walking down road with hair raised. She jumps on people who enter and barks when people try to leave (I guess saying don't leave). Really my thing is where should we start the training to crack down to have better life for her and us and before the puppy arrives and maybe shows the wrong things. Please a reply would be greatly appreciated even if its just a list of a good order to start. Also yes I know its OUR fault for letting her be like this for so long, but I wanna change this so that way we don't have these issues and to be able to have people over more often.

Very nice! :) what can I do when my dog lies down when he sees another dog and then want to hunt it? Greetings from Poland

So is it normal for 9-month old standard poodle to seem to do good on walk,, seem to be nice, well-behaved dog and then…like they regress to not having any training, lunging at end of leash, barking at everything? I’ve heard you say that 9-12 months are tough periods; I get concern because here in this video you said should see progress. It is discouraging to see the roller coaster we’re currently on & keep wondering what I’m doing wrong. Also can’t walk (or exercise ) as much as I’d like to due to really cold weather up here (20 and snowing).

HOPE ……for all of us wanting to help our leash reactive dogs !!!!!

I’d like to see how you heal a dog. I was in a situation I needed my dog right next to me, he didn’t do well, but does great with lose leash walking. I’m perplexed 🤔

What can I do when my dog barks when she sees a dog? She barks lot and don't quit before the other dog is gone. I pull the leash but it doesn't help. My dog is reaktiv to dog.

Wow that was a great improvement. Even her body language seemed alot more relaxed. Just goes to show you have to keep at it with these things. My dog was similar to this and the first thing the trainer taught us was proper leash walking and after, everything else seemed to fall into place.

What do I do if my dog jumps up and bites at the leash and my hands to try to get me to let go? . Which I don't cause I have him leashed to me with a running leash

Is it appropriate to say “NO” at the same time that you do the leash pop?

My dog has great focus and obedience at home but when we go on walks that’s almost all out the door. When I ask him to sit on the walk 50% of the time he back chats me and gets irritated. He whines and scratches and I will wait till he is quite and settled before we continue. Not sure if that’s the right way to handle him?

Best.

Love this method, and have definitely seen progress in the door and release method, BUT, would you say to apply the same level of correction to small dogs? Been seeing a lot of scares of tracheal collapse and my dog seems to start coughing / difficulty in breathing. For reference, this is a Pomeranian just over 5 pounds.

@voxaz7284

2 жыл бұрын

I think his method would work on smaller dogs ("this is the way"), but seems like it would be harder to implement. When he does the *pop* you can see he goes low and to the side, so the correction is taking them to the side. With a smaller dog, the amount of pop would be lessened, of course, but harder to do it at that proper angle. Any correction would seem to naturally be up and put that pressure on the front of the throat. Would be very informative to see how he modifies his stance for shorter dogs.

My 2 yr old boxer is very well behaved off leash with dogs but has recently started charging at small dogs on lead. Any suggestions please?

What if your dog keeps pulling and you can't get her or him to stop and relax?

Do you do this to train leash walking to puppies?
