Update as of Thursday December 15th. I am the owner you see in the video. The training happened a week ago. WHAT a difference! Henry and I have been hitting the dog park regularly since the training, practicing the moves and commands. I can now frequently (not always but we're just getting started) call him off of a dog he's being too rough with using just a firm "LEAVE IT. Now Henry is actually recognizing when it's time to back off with more aggressive dogs - now THAT's wizardry!
I watched this video and I could see after Prince went after him his whole demeanor had changed. Your dog is so cute and playful and fun but he just needed to learn when to stop. Great dog and I'm so glad that you got that taken care of. Your dog makes me want to get another dog.
@@ckelley1234 is 10 months old and is pushing 80 lb believe it or not. I knew that I had to get a handle on him before he got any bigger. Speaking of which, you would not believe how easy he is to walk now with a loose leash and Joel's recommended gentle leader headhalter.
Hello again, this is the owner you see in the video. It's been almost exactly three months since Henry and I met with Prince and his helper Joel the Dog Wizard. (Sorry Joel... couldn't resist :-)). Just last evening an owner at the dog park commented on how gentle Henry is. How's THAT for a progress report! Henry, at one year old, is still a puppy in many ways, but he is consistently playing nicely and appropriately with other dogs. Can't overstate what a positive difference it made spending an hour with the Dog Wizard!
I enjoyed this video. I’m going to try this with my dog. He does all the same things. Marking with pee and poop, even licking others pee and he’s pushy.
Totally agree. And when you get a doodle you don't expect to get a hyperactive, pushy, annoying dog. Good for him to come to Joel when he got a dog that was a whole lot more than he was prepared for!
@@nixe4912 It doesn't appear that the guy is physically prepared to deal with this behavior. Breeders can't lay on the couch and just expect things to happen. I despise trophy breeding shite by the way.
@@chevy383jt Doodles look so cute and people will always want them. Of course the owner wasn't physically prepared for this behaviour, the dog's looks create an expectation of very different behaviour. But once Lon realised he had a problem he got help. Here is a man who went on youtube, confessed he couldn't deal with his dog's quirks, was honest and humble about it. That takes courage which I admire and hope you do too. You and I may agree on back yard breeders, trophy breeders etc, but this is a dog and an owner doing their best with the cards they were dealt.
@@chevy383jt Yeah, I have a doodle myself (very small version) but unfortunately the designer tag has meant that not too many people are really prepped for what it takes to look after them, and sadly breeders have a lot to answer for by not telling enough and instead coming up with designer label selling points. "Little to not shedding? GREAT, but let's not say a word about *any* coat care at all". "Look at this adorable fwuffy face, let's not mention it is a combo of TWO highly energetic and intelligent hunting/retrieving dogs and therefore need to know what you're doing with training". I give credit to this man for doing his best, he'll go far for putting all the extra effort in and those oversights he made originally will be less and less drastic because of it.👍
Prince seems to know how to deal with every situation and dog correctly, he’s like a teacher. Very wise dog, improving lives of other dogs and their owners
@@pmoney4986 Nah, Andrew Tate (no clue about Tristan) just seems insecure and puts on a facade. He does say a few good things here and there and does inspire a lot of men to do their best, but shit, even I could do that if given the opportunity.
Once a doodle tried to bully all the dogs in my local dog park until he got to mine. Now, I have a little 11 pound miniature poodle, neutered, but he takes no BS from any dog, big or small. He scared the doodle off, he was the only dog in that park who did. It fascinated me that the size of a dog does not matter when it comes to courage.
As the owner of three large dogs, knowing when to step in and correct a behavior is key to harmony. This owner now knows what to watch for and when to step in so he can have the dog park experience he seems to want. Prince is such a good teacher, as are you, thanks for another helpful video. I like the “Dog “Wizard” it suits you!😊
100% this. Also starting in early interactions is important, I work with dogs and a lot of problems develop because certain behaviours are let slide in puppyhood and develop into much less "cute" behaviours when the dog is fully grown or around a less familiar dogs. Also confusing for the dog lol.
This is a great comment, I'd like it twice if I could. So many people get stuck and don't know what to do, Joel helps them get tools to manage behaviors.
You really can see the cogs turning. After Prince's first correction he goes right back to dad and wanders around right there close for a bit, like "everything I knew was a lie".
Man, it's so interesting watching prince do his work. He is so gentle with them. There was literally no aggression from him that was even slightly over the top. I could watch this dog in action all day. Also the slow motion play of micro expressions are really appreciated.
He's very playful too, but he protects his boundaries and feels no grudge afterwards. Very good dog to teach the problematic dogs manners without traumatizing them.
@@CubeBizz maybe you should emphazise more on the if part of my statement. Let me explain again: If you let an aggressive stronger dog hit on a weaker dog, it wont end well for the weaker dog. This dog was not aggressive. This dog was not a bully.
Despite the pushy behavior, that dog seems like such a great dog with a lot of play in him! It is also always interesting to me to see pushy dogs who aren't actually dog aggressive when things escalate! Especially when Prince corrected him, I was surprised (and glad) that he didn't fight back and instead opted to go to the ground a bit. One of my dogs definitely would have taken the bait and fought back more, but would have eventually submitted! I need a dog like Prince, who isnt out to mess other dogs up, to teach my dog boundaries better than I can on my own!! Great video as always!!
You’re right he’s a good dog, just needs some guidance from an adult dog about how the world work. Most young people/dogs learn tough lessons that make them better.
@BDTraining I almost hope to see a series of follow-up clips from the dogs you see! This dog is a great example, I would love to see a video of him a year from now and see his change! I love that his owner was wanting to learn the correction, but the challenge is being able to get it right back at home when you (Joel) aren't there to help! The timing is so tough to catch with this!
@@BDTraining yes I agree there should be boundaries but when we bring our dogs to dog parks it's for them to play. If they are not type of dogs who like to play they should stay away from dog parks. Walking dogs around normal park where there are other dogs is enough for non-playing dogs to socialize by letting them say "hi" to other dogs. Happened 1 time a dog like Prince at the dog park who did not wanna play and tried to correct my dog but it's him who got corrected and flew between his owner legs. My dog is a Samoyed he like poking like that ti show he wanna play. Doodles and Poodles do the same and after poking they start wrestling for fun. These is how these dogs show they wanna play.
@@SJane3, remember the videos are of people that come long distances from all over. They have the training and go home and go on with their lives. I would find this would be near impossible to do with his schedule.
Prince had his hackles up long before he corrected the Doodle. The doodle enjoys egging on other dog's. I'm guessing when he's excited he wants something to chase. He may like being chased thus trying to elicit a reaction. He learnt other dog's aren't toy's or retrieving items and life's not a highway. Good video Joel the 'Dog Wizard':)
I love that he called you Joel the Dog Wizard. It was the least expected and most accurate thing he could say. Cause people's minds do get blown by your knowledge and techniques. Thanks for posting these informative and helpful videos!
This was really great to see. I have a lab/GSD mix, 2 years old, and she does the exact same thing with poking with the nose, which other dogs often find annoying - and it quickly moves on from there. She can seem a bit like a bully, or rough - like she doesn't know any boundaries. Will for sure try this out next time we meet with familiar dogs, in a similar setting. Thank you Joel.
Your lab just want to play. We have a huge dog park (old farmer field). Many type of dogs there and the dogs who poke with nose are Poodles, Doodles and my Samoyed. They do that because it's their way to show that they wanna play. Weirdly my dog do not poke very small dogs. He play with them gently or simply ignore them and go play with bigger ones. The poking might be annoying for other dogs but the ones I saw that were annoyed by that were not socialized or just did not want to play. At that point when an owner see his/her dog that does not want to play they should leave the dog park. Dog parks are the place for dogs to play with other dogs not to just walk around and get mad if a dog wanna play with them. Your Lab is perfectly fine. I am sure of that.
@lukos3211 Dude you missed the entire point of this video in telling someone that her dog is perfectly fine doing what they said in the video could get them hurt if they do it to a more aggressive dog. Plus you don’t want your dog being an ahole.
Kudos to him and I'm really happy that he felt more comfortable and confident in how to step in and provide the right correction. He's awesome. Also, I feel more comfortable and confident about when to step in with my dog from this. I think watching other people learn can help me a lot.
To me, the mark of a successful training session is an owner who acknowledges the problem with their dog and the part they have played in it. If they are willing to listen, learn, and apply what they are learning without making things emotional or personal, they will succeed. Great video, as always.
I'm pretty scared of dogs, but watching these videos have taught me a lot about how to analyze the behavior and it's really helpful in dispelling the fear. Thanks!
Don't be scared of dogs, but never trust a strangers dog. I've had a few close calls that made me realize some dogs and owners are bad. I'll never trust Pitbulls. Statistically speaking, those land sharks are responsible for the majority of all dog attacks on people and other animals. They're more likely to inflict serious/fatal injuries when they do maul you.
3:47 check out how Prince comes back to the dog. Like a “You get it now, or you still don’t understand?” Prince reminds me so much of Preacher from Senza Tempo. Preacher is more No Nonsense at all but just how they both carry themselves.
Prince is more of a Madmartigan than Preacher. Preacher is a true alpha male who's serious all the time, while Madmartigan is a prancy happy boi who knows how to get serious when needed.
Prince is THE MAN ! We have had many dobermans over the years, and I must say, they are the most intelligent, loyal, sensitive, loving, and protective dog breeds, period. We have also had German Short Haired Pointers, German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, Australian Shepherd Dogs, and Border Collies. All were wonderful and amazing, but none of them compared to the Dobermans.
I See these giant Doodles that act just like this at the dog parks frequently. They are large, full of jumpy energy, and somewhat bossy. Too bad Prince isn't there to correct them!
Man that dog was SHOOK from that correction from Prince. It’s so crazy how effective just one lesson from Prince can be. My dog is also great at correcting dogs who bother him with humping or being pushy but he’s only 30 lbs so I’m not exactly out there letting him train other dogs lol. He’s great at teaching puppies his size manners though!
This is honestly such a great video for dog owners to pay attention to. An invaluable tool to correct behavior for a young adolescent dog. To me this just makes so much more sense, from a common sense standpoint, than the modern, mainstream, only positive treat focused training ideology. Comparing it to teaching a young man is well put. Sometimes a young man will only react to/respect being taught a lesson with force. You can only hope the lesson is taught by someone with a calm, strong, seasoned approach who knows how to deal with a headstrong young guy. Thanks for the video Joel.
This dog is such a pest, he really needed prince's strength and temperance. His entire brain rewired after it, immediately made him rethink his approach.
Pest? He is just a dog, he gives so much love to his owner, he just plays roughly, don't be so cruel to animals especially to people's animals who are being put online for us to learn. The only pests are humans who drain the planet and every resource they can get their hands on. Please be more considerate online.
@@dimitrap2505 You speak more highly about dogs than your own species. Without humans, you wouldn't be watching this dog video on your handheld computer. Also, yes he was a pest. He needed to be put in his place. He is now a better dog.
@@dimitrap2505 the dog was a pest as it was bothering every dog he encountered. I hope you include yourself as a human draining the earth of resources. What a nihilistic view of people.
@mhods4457 Humans are the only pests in this world they only take and never give back to the planet. Dogs are animals they lack the capacity we have for logical and critical thinking. We should be more empathetic towards animals than humans who know exactly what they do and they just dont care. Thats why i think that you were very judgemental to a dog that is an animal and doesn't know better. It's the same thing with kids, I would never name a kid a pest, their brains are literally underdeveloped. Your comment can make the owner of the dog really hurt especially when they try to learn and need support. There are 1000 ways to describe something and u choose the rudest one. Apart from that, I don't wanna fight or argue, I just said we should be more considerate. If you don't wanna think about it it's your choice and the matter is closed.
@@dimitrap2505 Just like people, dogs have personalities. And sometimes, dogs are simply jerks. They will pester, prod, or even bully other dogs or animals. This is cold hard fact why deny it. And yes, with intelligence comes responsibility and expectations. But with intelligence also comes greed and jealously. We are not perfect, and neither are dogs. And just for the record, I have 5 dogs, 2 cats, and a Bearded Dragon.
This was fascinating. By the 2 minute mark, Prince already had his hackles up, even though he was willing to play he knew the other dog was trouble. Then after the dog nipped him he actually took a second to shake it off - I'm curious about that - then went full out. And after that correction, Prince's hackles were down for the rest of the video. He is such a good team member for you!
Ever seen someone who knows how to fight take a moment to calculate and take in exactly what just happened before opening the can of whoop ass? That's what prince did lol
@@BDTraining One trait about Dobermans that puts them up there in the working class is that they think before acting. It looks like Prince gave him a few looks and clear messages to tone it down. And when the dog didn’t, Prince took a moment to size up the dog, thought about what Joel wants from him in that moment, and then did precisely what he was bred/trained for. It’s a working Doberman in it’s finest form. “A keeper of the peace”. That fluffy dog isn’t a lunatic, so I think Prince felt it was appropriate for a whooping. But I’ve also seen Prince size a dog up and just say “Nope, I’m not going to get in a fight with that Lunatic unless I absolutely need to.” And this is what I like about Joel and Prince, is that they don’t force unnecessary and potentially fatal fights. Bullies need a whooping, lunatics need to be locked up and avoided.
So helpful. I love how the body language is always explained. Owners need to know what their dogs are really saying with other dogs because not many of us speak 'dog'-- which is 99% non-verbal. Thanks for slowing down the video and explaining, and interpreting in your other videos too.
Prince is my favorite dog I never met. When he showed that obnoxious French bulldog what was what I cracked up. That good patient boy deserves a vacation. He’s the best.
Love this. This is exactly how we trained our Great Dane, Charles. Our Husky Shephard, Luna, is our version of your Prince. This was like watching the experience all over again but with different dogs. Great work, love what you do for the dog owner community.
It's amazing how you can see Henrys brain rebooting after Prince told him off! Really a "wow, holy shit, darn" moment he really needed 😍 As you said, not a bad dog, not an aggressive dog, just needs to know he's not the big boss
I loved this session! The guy was super chill and respectful of your expertise. Prince is the absolute star❤ I always support this channel , I think you’re doing the most amazing job with canine behavior.
Great session! My dog does the same behavior with younger dogs or submissive dogs, and I work with him on Joel’s techniques. Hard for me to get him, but I do eventually. Off the subject: I was thinking of Joel today while having the most beautiful walk with my dog on a lose leash. I think I saw it click in my dogs head today, “if I don’t pull, I get to keep on this nice calm walk without corrections “. The energy is good, calm.
Great correction by Prince. These are my favorite videos where Prince really shines in his corrections and patience. The "Dog Wizard" with another great video
My Saint Bernard is really well trained, and honestly he’s really overprotective but he’s the older brother type who makes sure all the other dogs are in check which I really respect and love about my dog
This was an impressive video to watch! Prince's timing and level of correction is impeccable. I wish I could have my dog out there to learn from Prince. She's not a bully, but can get overwhelming in her play with other dogs at times. I learned a lot from this video on how to time corrections when playing gets too intense. Joel and Prince, come do an east coast tour!
I used to work at a doggy daycare and there were two cockapoos both siblings that would excessively bully dogs. One would muzzle punch whichever dog looked vulnerable (including my dog when I took him to work with me) while his sister would hump smaller dogs. They were such an issue that any behavioral reports we made would not make it to the owner. They never gave them advice on changing their dogs, they just want their money. So seeing this makes it so important to understand how your dog is around other pups, especially in daycare. If they're causing havoc to other dogs it can get dangerous for them really fast and you need to take action immediately. Do not disregard bad behavior, it will only get worse until someone gets hurt.
I used to work in a daycare too and the management are terrible for telling their owners their dogs are menaces 🤦🏼♀️ they'd happily accept bully dogs, excessive humping, fighting all for the sake of money
Great video. Great to see that the owner is actively participating in leading/training/correcting his dog. I've had run ins with dogs similar to this, but with owners who couldn't be bothered to see it was not okay behaviour, and just chalked it up to "ohhh he just wants to play... he's just being blah blah...". Good on ya, Sir! Your dog has a great future!
Great session. I've been around dogs and trained them my whole life. Still learning and this helps. Two things I will say talk to your dog. Some people feel silly you need to get over that. They will eventually understand way more than you would imagine and at the least they get tone related to the moment. The second thing is in control in a good way. Don't be afraid to make a scene if by that it means raising your voice correcting and being in control. We have such a gorked out world anymore where some sad deprived people don't understand discipline and correction. That's fine let them think whatever they want they're the ones that are screwed up not you.
Another happier ending! Also, Prince is just such a handsome, gorgeous dog. When he did the little play bow, it was so freakin’ cute, lol. Great teamwork again as always Joel and Prince!
This was such a pleasant video to watch,although the nose buts are a little naughty you have to admit it’s he’s so cute! Prince Charming did a fantastic job at correcting him!! 😂👍💯
Love to see new videos Joel! With this video you helped me understand the way my male Amstaff lifts its behind when he poops. Next level of dominante! Love these videos! Love your work!
Good man for stepping up to do what's best for his dog, as a fellow doodle owner (albeit a smaller variety) it's very sad when people aren't given the correct information about how much work they require both in physical care and training. This dog touched lucky to get such an owner, trainer and doggy teacher like Prince, best he learns via a smack rather than a full on beatdown.
Brilliant. Also, very nice to see a dog dad who is responsible and cares about their dogs social health. I live alone with a pittie. He is my world. This is something that concerns me with my kiddo because we never really get any time with other dogs or socialization. This was a great video! Thanks for sharing.
I've been watching a lot of your videos now and I'm now of the opinion that you're the best dog trainer I've seen on youtube. I'll be putting much of what you've taught to use with our fear aggressive pittie mix
Prince is like a true healer for other dogs. He meets other dogs where they are at and if they need to be regulated Prince will do that with appropriate energy. So awesome to watch ! If a child was doing this on the playground to other children - pushing, poking, harassing - an adult would put a stop to it, same concept with dogs. We have to set limits and boundaries with kids and dogs about what behavior is ok and what isn't. I love the owners desire and energy to learn and be better ! Bravo
After watching a few of these, you can just read the body language in the dogs. It’s incredible. Like you said in another, I’m surprised there aren’t more trainers who do it this way. But I think it’s probably because a lot of trainers don’t have this setup or the desire to deal with trouble dogs. Prince deserves a raise 😊
I had a troublesome dog years ago and I looked into dog body language and applied it at it worked. She was very aggressive by her food bowl and wouldn’t let anyone near so when she challenged me I’d stand my ground and show my teeth and growl until she backed down and it worked.
Prince is my favorite trainer. His demeanor is just impeccable. Henry seemed like just a goofball who plays a little too much. Great job to all humans and dogs in the video!
Dog Wizard GOAT. Great video, shows how to mark corrections, when, how, and so important to teach manners to a dog. Some people let their dogs do whatever and think the dog will just learn when it really sets them up to keep repeating these poor behaviors. Seems like the dog is learning pretty quickly so this technique should really help!
I absolutely love that you let your dog do this. It's so useful and people are so scared of using this technique, but my best trained dog also is phenomenal at bringing other dogs in line without actual fighting, just a good dog-to-dog lesson. Love to see it.
This dog is a lot like my dog. He’s matured a bit and we’ve done a lot of training, so he’s now not nearly as bad. We weren’t doing dog parks until his behavior improved!
The remarkable thing that needs more comment from you is how many times about 7 I counted Prince took and responded quietly to him saying dude, dude, dude, and then he went for him for good. Absolutely spectacular and beautiful to watch. Nowhere did Prince want to harm him whatsoever.
So glad you made the comparison with the young men. It is exactly the same and can be just as easily handled with some maturity and experience. I had to learn as a young man. It's good for both dogs and boys.
How well behaved is Prince??? Also very athletic. Great dog. I used to have a Labrador crossed with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. When dogs see 'red' they gain this different kind of strength. At home, all he wanted to do was eat, sleep and play (and I mean for hours)
Thank God for another dog trainer who agrees, that if done properly (like here) it is the best solution into training a dog (like in this video) that simply would not "get it" any other way. I also am so glad that you agree with the fact that society has gotten WAY to soft over the years, when it comes to dog training... Fantastic work my friend ❤
The way you practice correcting dogs behavior is first class. I am 100% convinced that dogs learn so much from our Body language and soft but certain corrections. My male unneutered Ridgeback Boy is a calm and gentle giant- even with other unneutered Males who aren‘t too upset. Keep on doing your great Job - love from Germany!
I love Beckman cuz everything he says is always true 😭 he got too big for his britches and hid behind dad. This guy is a great owner this guy is a sponge right now and asking so many questions 😭
Respect to that owner. I have a red fox lab who is just over one year old. I made a real conscious effort to socialise him when he was a puppy but I have noticed in the last 2 months he has become agitated around some dogs. I'd say 90% of dogs he meets he is super friendly but I guess he senses something from other dogs and as soon as they bark at him or gesture he wants to fly off and react. We will be getting him neutered soon but not for behavioural reasons but because he is constantly marking everything. In your experience do you think neutering would change his behaviour. Another excellent video, thank you.
100% neutering will help. Our fox red is as neutered and he stopped getting attacked by other male dogs almost immediately and he’s so much happier not trying to mate with every dog he comes across.
I love that other dog. Prince is so badass. I love his demeanor….he knows he owns that shit. I’ve been around a few Dobermans for extended periods of time, and while they were really good dogs and trained well, they did not have the calmness and steadiness of prince. So impressive. Good video as always
I really enjoy your videos, I have a female Alaskan malamute, who has been a challenge growing up. She is so smart and a lot like prince in ways, I was scared I had the bad dog because she would correct like prince does. A breed like her is so different from dogs like dogs that like to please there owners. She is one who had her own brain and doesn’t like to be told what to do. I enjoy your videos a lot! They help me learn how to work with her! We’re in utah but I would love to make a trip out there to ya!
I have a dog that is very very friendly. I'll let my dog loose at the dog park, and she'll get humbled a couple times. After a couple times she does behave better. To manage my dog's excitement to be around other dogs, I've been teaching her to reign in her excitement by letter her know that I make the decisions. I think that it's helped so far!
I've been using Joel's method for getting from the car to the gate of the park, where you turn around and walk back towards the car when they aren't listening. It has helped my 9.5 month old black lab enter the park much calmer.
Dog on dog correction is some of my favorite. There is obviously risk but that comes with every kind of animal on animal training. It's a risk when people train dogs to hunt! Prince stops when you ask and that is most important. You always seem ready to step in to and that's admirable. "We gotta let him be a normal dog" is very well said. Dogs are bread to do work and work ain't always easy. Keep working hard but never let your guard down and I think this will work out ok. Also watching dog behavior has been really great for drawing them in my art so thank you for that!
