@Clint Cannon The only Doberman I've ever met was a long time ago, when I was a young, slight thing. I went into a hardware store and was wandering the aisles, and this very rotund Doberman was padding around loose in the shop. Being a dog lover, I started talking to him and he trotted over. As I began to pet him, he started leaning in to me to get better pets, and almost knocked me over! He was such a sweetheart. At that point, the owner saw what was going on and called, "Atlas, come!" And the good boy recalled instantly. "Atlas" was the most fitting name ever for that dog and I will always remember him.
having owned a Dobie ,.. Zac .. yeah that look was exactly that ... some dogs are calm cos they KNOW they are better/older ... been blessed with 3 of that type of dog
90% of the dogs in my neighborhood are like this, small dogs that bark constantly. My dog is 70lbs and rarely barks, anytime we go on a walk we are bombarded with small barking dogs. Those little dogs seem so fearless to just walk up to my dog, the one good thing is the ones that don't bark get along great with my dog. Can't wait to see the progress on the little guy!
My experience too in my neighborhood and I have a 100 pound Rottie. I don’t bother with Rosie meeting little dogs barking or not due to being nipped at several times. We now just keep walking. It’s just too unpredictable.
My dog is small and you are 100% right. She barks at all the dogs and growls at them. Not because she wants to fight, but because she wants them to play right there and then without asking. She’s a demanding little bitch. The other dog we have at the house (pitbull/husky mix) lets her do whatever to her, so now she thinks all dogs are the same. And approaches the dogs that way. Once I went to a friends house and they have like 5 dogs. They didn’t put up with her crap and she behaved for like 2 days as I walked her. I need to go there more often so they can teach her better.
It's amazing how many small dogs are like this and when they go off their trolley, the owners don't seem to acknowledge the crappy behaviour, yet when a BIG dog goes off, it's the worst thing in the world.
Honestly most “problematic” dogs are the small ones. They’re easier to handle physically so they they often go untrained. A 10 pound dog pulling is nothing compared to a 100lb dog.
Boomie is quite a handful and is absolutely in the right place for helping him cope with other dogs. His behavior if not changed could lead him to being hurt by other dogs, and nobody wants that for this little fellow. He will be fun to watch and to see him progress. Thanks for taking on this little spitfire!
Yes you are right. My relatives had a dog like this. He was very aggressive towards other dogs (for some reason cars too) and one night when another relative's dog's leash was torn he killed him (the other dog was bigger and stronger).
i had a chihuahua like that and a hound dog the hound dog was awesome but super lazy just laid in the sun all day. it let the chihuahua bark at it all day and did nothing so it got used to being like that to other big dogs. one day it mistaked a deer for a big dog and got a kicking of a lifetime. made it go from the dog in the video to the most well mannered dog ever lol
I have a greyhound and greyhound borzoi mix. I walk them in tandem and they are perfectly mannered. If a cat runs out in front of them they may turn their heads to watch or put up their ears, same with well mannered loose dogs…BUT! My neighbors have a reactive dachshund that barks and leaps against its leash as if to attack my two, this makes my dogs react and these people think since my dogs are big it’s their fault. They don’t notice my dogs are not straining at the leash but theirs is, my dogs are not going batshit crazy barking but theirs is. Truthfully I don’t think my dogs would hurt the little pos but give him a good well deserved lesson also. I hate yappy effing dogs.
Yea, not correcting this behaviour is a recipe for disaster. Grandma had a pinscher and he was like that. I told grandma it should be corrected but she was like 'Oh, he's always been like that, not to mention he's pretty old now for training.'. What happened a while after? He goes to a big dog on the street and almost gets EATEN for his attitude. Seriously, the other dog's head was almost as big as grandma's dog. One bite and almost had half the dog in its mouth. We had to bring her dog to the vet for stitches. His back was almost torn off.
7:37 Prince is so sweet. I love that the only thing that can really set him off is some tiny wannabe bully chihuahua trying to keep him away from his dad
it's same with my Dobbie, he just kind of lets smaller dogs bark at him and looks at them with utter amazement like, "dude, go away before I breathe and blow you away"
Hearing him talk about how the dog gets overstimulated and loses his mind and can't think right or make decisions reminds me a lot about how I feel sometimes. Maybe I should book a session with this guy instead of a therapist
Something I think that could be helpful, is telling us how long the sessions are and how many sessions it took to go from 'loud and lunatic' dog to 'calm and self-disciplined' dog. We watch a 15 minute clip, but we know the session was longer.
@@TheDragonfriday Because its a dumb ass question no one dog is going to have the same amount of time put into correcting its behavior. All dogs learn at their own pace and according to their past experiences. This should be repeated until no improvement is seen and another method can be implemented or until the dog improves its behavior to the point they can be considered disciplined. Some dogs learn to shake paw after the third attempt and some take months and if you're not prepared to find out which of the two your dog is then don't get a dog.
I can see why maybe you want to see exactly the total time of every session and how many sessions in total, but in the end, does it really matter? This dogs behavior was corrected in the best way possible.
@@carlosacosta7016 Well the point of the question is the picture how long this training length would take.... Yes of course every dog is different, they have different pace of there behaviors.
Wow this is a bold little dog! Seems like he's had to fight to survive in his previous life style. Will enjoy watching his journey to becoming a calmer dog that can actually enjoy life vs viewing other dog buddies as a threat.
Maybe? But those tiny breed, man.... Here in my country we have a tiny Doberman breed thats basically a tiny doberman devil. Called Pinscher, idk if its common elsewhere. Also chihuahuas are very nervous.. maybe he's a mix of very nervous breeds with some past problems and that turned out this way...
I’m dead at the bark prince had that was serious it vibrated the entire iPad distorted and the dog was a lil confused but somehow thinks he should fight rather than flight . Hilarious 🤣
Absolutely! A lot of people let this type of behavior slide with little dogs because "that is just how little dogs are" which is ridiculous and dangerous
I love th "ohhh you love her?" And he got a little pep in his step. He's a cute little man but have mercy the barking. I hope he makes good progress. Also love Princes face go from sup little man? To Excuse me?! That's my dad!
That little dog is exactly like my rescue Chihuahua. Aggressive and ready to go in. In a totally different world in her head 😕 thank you for this video
I remember having a little chihuahua lunging towards my pitbull😂. My dog just looked at it and the other dog’s owner was so scared for their little dog. This is why people need to train their dogs. That chihuahua is lucky to have met a nice pit.
Perfect training video. We have a sweet new rescue 11lbs from a hoarding situation. He goes wacko like Boomie when he sees other dogs, although he has 3 dog friends he is troubled by strange dogs. . I’m going to watch this over and over. He is definitely mentally I’ll! Joel is the best.
Always good to see people get help for the little ones. Too often people think "they don't need training, because you can manage them easily." Props to the owners!
This dog looks and acts incredibly similar to my chihuahua mix. The only difference is that when I physically correct him, he redirects on me./anyone delivering a correction. He has never been able to be pet by a stranger, and can only be touched by 5 people. I have tried a lot of desensitization, structure, and now even medications to control his threshold. I am a beginner/novice dog trainer (literally *just* completed my certification) so I have a decent knowledge of how to handle and manage him. I mostly came here to say 1. I want to see more with this pup, if you can. 2. I understand the challenges of this level of reactivity 3. If possible, let us in on how you would handle this if Boomy were to be the kind of dog to redirect and deliver level 3-4 bites? I also want to say that I am so in love with Prince. I love your training channel, but I stay for Prince. That dog is perfection.
how you tried positive reinforcement? Maybe introduce strangers with your pupper on a leash and the stranger sitting either in a chair or on the floor with a treat. Or maybe whenever the pupper allows others to touch them, they get a treat. This works really well with highly anxious and even some aggressive dogs(I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and the main trainer that worked with us did this, along with the corrections and redirections). This even works with cats! Also, depending on where your at, you can get CBD oil made for dogs, and rub a single drop on the back of one ear(CBD is not harmful to dogs, THC is, so make sure you get a CBD oil that is made for dogs) it'll act as a calming aid to reduce any anxiety- i use it currently on my cats to help them relax for bathtime and nail clipping. Another good thing to too is get a wide mouth muzzle, it'll allow the dog to still bark but not be able to bite, getting that anxiety out by being able to bark and have the person not react/pay any attention to him will show him that no matter how hard he tries, bad behavior wont get him anywhere. But its all just a waiting game, some dogs will never be able to handle other dogs or new people, and that's okay, you have to treat highly aggressive dogs as if they are humans with trauma. I always get great results when I handle aggressive/hgh anxiety animals like people with the same issues
@@caddydaddy7486 that's not your choice. Go put down a child who hurts other kids. See how that sentence makes no sense? If they want to keep working with their dog they can. You are NOT their owner and have no right to deliver this advice - i get the impression you know nothing about dog behavior just by this comment. This dog, as they said, is similar to the one on this channel and Bumi has shown improvements. Destroying the animal should never be first choice. Get off this channel with your bullshit. Edit: I see you have had your account for a week, leading me to believe you made this account to solely to give mean spirited advice.
I honestly watch videos of Prince because he makes me feel better about the world - he’s handsome and he’s a wizard of dogs - his patience, intelligence, and ability to discipline other dogs when necessary and lead other dogs is just so impressive.
This is my guy, although mine is even a little bolder. I literally just had a self realization the other day right before watching this video that I have to find that "weird line" and not be a one trick trainer because nothing seems to work with him when he is in that state. Im glad you put this video out to help affirm that I'm not alone in this 🙂
I really enjoyed watching you work with a little breed. Some people need to see how you correct the tiny ones too. Good lesson, glad this pup is with a good home now.
im wowed by the genuine compassion you have for dogs like this. C: the respect for how trauma affected the dog. the attentiveness to his behavior. it really warms my heart to see how you correct the little guy, and when he calms down being like "hey! wanna see your little friend again!? what a good boy!" really giving dogs every chance to succeed and be happy. love it!
I have a male chihuahua that was unwanted, so I took him on. He’s a wonderful dog, he’s ‘worked’ in rest homes and been cuddled by the elderly. He’s the same as this with dogs he doesn’t know, this is the image of what my dog’s behaviour with new dogs. He’s great walking on our weekly pack walk with 8 other dogs that he knows now
Love these videos that teach about behavior and body language. I'm not exaggerating when I say that understanding behavior has helped in areas of my life beyond just dog training. Dealing with these dogs is like dealing with 2 year olds. Both my dogs and grandkids are becoming more manageable - LOL!
My dog was incredibly reactive to other dogs. Besides him not being very socilized he was trying to protect me from everything. Small big and little dogs, i started leash correcting him went he would lunge at dogs, once I got that down and he stopped barking and lunging i started slowly getting him close to very calm and well behaved dogs. He would sometimes get triggered at sudden movement but now dogs can run by and he's 9/10 times calm. Love this approach much more showing the dog good from bad instead of trying to distract with treats.
PERFECT camera work!!!! Thank you for pointing out the body language! Definitely excited to see the progress of Boomie. Thanks to the owners for rescuing him and bringing him to you🐾❤️
Love seeing you work with a smaller dog and seeing how much force you use in the corrections. One of my dogs is from a hoarding situation and had a similar reaction to other dogs. It's a lot to take on. It's been eight years and he's not perfect, but he's a lot better. Looking forward to the updates.
Amazes me how the smallest dogs have the biggest hearts, surely it'd get them into trouble in the wild? A big like Prince would gobble him up for his grief? Madness :)
Each and every time I tune in to Beckman's Training sessions, (I'm not binge watching yet) Joel is so impressive in how he handles each situation to a positive end. So refreshing to see him treat dogs like dogs (and not like humans) Thank you!
Totally agree. Dogs are not people in fur. I was lucky enough to work with a lady who was part of training dogs for the RCMP. She was exceptional at explaining the dog psychology behind every excercise we did. We took our Golden to Utility. I ended up doing some rescue work with difficult dogs who were not adoptable. All of them found homes eventually. The worst was a bull terrier Jack Russell cross. His nick name was Barnhole. Our big Golden would shoulder check him when he got too rough. Barney was a jerky dog.
This is almost exactly as my dog, with his brain/emotions all over the place when he sees dogs. Your leash reactivity method works, but I have to do it every walk, and when I don't do it because he is a good boy and always with me, that's the cases when his emotions go all over the place. I can't wait to see the progress with this dog.
Had one of these little yappers that the neighbors let out their front door every day. It would literally yap for hours on end at everything. Even followed me up into my own yard and onto my porch. Big mistake. My "Prince" Angel (Bull Terrier Mix) set it straight. Just opened the door and said get it. Oh did it know it screwed up. Its tone changed from bold barking to fear in an instant and it was immediately ran over. Angel didn't bite it, she just ran it over. I called her and she came right back inside. The dog never barked at me again, and even stopped barking in general a lot less. Was it wrong of me? Maybe? The yapper was fine and learned a very valuable life lesson from it. I still chuckle thinking about it.
Not embarrassing at all. This channel shows over and over how dogs need corrections by other dogs. If you’re going to act like an out of control idiot, like this dog did, it deserves to be put in its place.
Boy, Joel, I learn so much from you every time I watch your videos. I had PREVIOUSLY thought I was a great dog trainer. I now believe it was daily because I had really good dogs (Boxers) . I used to tell my wife I got an "A+" in "RAT LAB" in college. But that plus .99 cents will get me a soft drink at the mini-mart. Thanks, Joel! God Bless- and Merry Christmas!
This video made me feel all the feels. Not only is Boomie the same age and looks A LOT like my rescued mix-breed Luka, but it’s just exactly the same behavior. It breaks my heart to think my baby was in a hoarding situation or abused, and it also breaks my heart seeing him miss out on being a happy puppy who can play with his friends or not being able to go to the park or the beach because we don’t know if we’ll both know how to respond to a potential situation. I am currently taking him to a training school where we’ve both made some progress (I am aware I also have a lot learn as an inexperienced owner), but it’s quite slow. I know patience is key, and I am not about to give up on us, so it’s super helpful to know about key words like desensitizing; letting them blow some steam and correction. I will try to go through this feedback loop til we get it just right 💪🏻🐶 thank you for sharing your knowledge -I know you’ve worked quite hard at earning it, but it’s just so nice of you to share it and help owners and puppies all over the world, to have a fighting chance ❤️ many blessings and greetings from Central America 🐾
I have to admit, listening to that little guy go off and then going into hearing Prince, I jumped a little🤣 I guess that was the maddest I've heard him get and didn't expect it
I am from Quebec. Thanks for this video. My little dog behaves exactly the same. I rescued him when he was 6 years old. We have made a lot of progress thanks to all your videos. Can't wait to see the rest because it looks like it's my dog hihih Mine is just OK with the female chiuaua because they are very small. Impossible to meet large and medium dogs at the moment.
Great job as always! This is were i would use a half choke collar to get more of a pop and lay on the ground to get the right angle of the correction( which is the most difficult thing with smallbreeds). To be clear i use half choke collar only for the pop effect, the chain helps with a wierd sound which helps alot. sometimes you only need to make a link move in order for the dog to react to the leash. when rescuing a dog, people tend to feel bad for the dogs previous life instead of Retraining and resocializing the dog as it would be a puppy. The rescue dogs are usualy in a fearperiod for 3 weeks when they get to their new home, this is the time to put in structure and rules for the dog (push the dog, teach the dog what you expect from it and socialize them with ur type and way of life, be calm and solid (i had to go grab my dog cause he refused to sit and stay before mealtime, he ran to another room when i told him to do so(fearful)) The next 3 months they will push ur buttons, they will test the new owners strenght to uphold the rules and structure, be unweavering! Be kind, yet firm. Fair and understanding, but dont feel bad for the dog, they should be in good, loving hands:) Prince does his job like a boss!
Thank you Joel for helping control the little dog - I have two Jack Russell older female and young male both neutered- they are fearless and I am also trying to stop that nipping and lunging that they do - honestly the only thing I even saw Joel do was the gentle smack on the rump and that is when the little guy understood - no, otherwise ......Also I am doing the knee up, honestly I am seeing two new well behaved listen to me now - small dogs even need tough love as they are just small in size but, tough and strong in character
I'm so excited for this one! We got a smaller breed puppy a couple months ago and it's hard to tell what is dominant behavior we need to nip in the bud and what is him just being a terrier and having an opinion about everything...
Ive gotten my terrier reduced to what I call “1 protest bark”. He knows not to do it… and i will warn before the correct…. But some days. He will look at me dead in the eye and bark at least ONCE! Terriers man…. Our shep is not as opinionated 😆😆
I just recently found your videos and i absolutely love the fact that you use other dogs to help in the process of training. I have a 4 month old Giant Schnauzer that I may just need to drive from Texas to Florida for training 😁. Your content is great!
I recently brought home a rescue dog. He acts and reacts the same as your dog in the video outside on his walks. It’ll be three months soon. Working with a dog trainer and the process is extremely slow. It’s interesting if you put him in an environment with other dogs in a home and he’s much different and calmer. Once the dog is outside, he becomes aggressive through fear. Your video confirmed his actions and reactions to me. Other than this bizarre behavior he’s a very loving dog inside his home and inside his backyard. thanks for your wonderful videos.
Boomie might be the best possible name for that little buddy. And who is nuts and on the edge of being irretrievable; nice work to arrest the trend. I have three in similar states of unrest around strange dogs, desensitizing and correcting is the only combination I've found that begins to make progress. Best on the effort with Boomie!
I thought that was an interesting reaction, like a snap? from the “chill dog” at the very end of the video but I didn’t see what Boomi did to cause her reaction. Boomi definitely has issues but the difference in him from the beginning to the end was significant. Good job as always!
These videos fascinate me not because I’m a dog owner (I don’t have pets), I find them so interesting because of the influences of the owner’s’ behavior plus how each dog’s bad behavior is a reflection of their own personal little traumas. Pet ownership is such a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly.
