He looks so happy every time he's "corrected" and doing something the owner wants. I love how a lot of your videos get all this "puppy love" out of "I'm over it >:|"
@@fredburns6846 doesn't mind it much because it doesn't hurt in that harness, which is nice. lets the owner be the boss without pavloving the dog into pain situations
Because "correction" shouldn't be to put the dog down, but to make the dog do what she was asked for. We prepare the dogs mind to receive corrections and don't associate it with a bad thing.
The way that dog was pulling his owner in the beginning was crazy. That dog looked like it could pull a wagon. "That's the loser way," and "there is a time for treats and it's not with the puma hunting dog," are 2 all-time Joel Beckman quotes.
Those were awesome. Notice non of the purely positive trainers are training Dogo’s and other dangerous breeds but Joel does and makes big changes in an hour…crazy!
@@UNDERDOGMMA Joel is the best. He simply gets to the point and shows how his method works. No need for 30 minute videos like other ego maniacs in the dog training world.
My Goldendoodle pulled like that, haha. Not no more.. Treat training, haha. For folks who don’t wanna really, deal with the problem. Then wonder why their dog is fat, and doesn’t listen.
My GSD was about a year old when he claimed me. His previous family had done nothing to train him and he picked up on things really quickly using treats. However, I ceased to exist when we would go on walks. Sometimes, he'd turn to take the treat as if that was what he thought I wanted from him and then he'd drop it as he'd continue forward. TWO YEARS I tried to get him to behave on a leash. I have a video of his second walk after using Joel's method of my 11-year old daughter walking him loose leash and constantly checking in with him. Now I just need to work on socializing him. Hard to do living out in the country.
Absolutely necessary. Mandatory. If you're going to have big, strong breeds like this you have to be in control. A lot of folks will get a dog like this that have never had a dog or raised kids and being in charge and setting standards and enforcing them is a new thing. Absolutely got to do it. Great Job Joel. Love your channel.
I have a dogo argentino at home, great temperament, very sweet and friendly, but she had zero training up until 1 y/o. Extremely stubborn breed. Fighting me is a game for her, thank you for these videos. They've transformed her into something respectable!
Joel, I really appreciate your videos! I found your channel 7 months ago.. right before our family brought home our new lab puppy. Before your videos, I used to think an obedient dog was one that could sit, stay, roll-over and maybe recall 50% of the time. I had a lab when I was kid and I trained him to do all the obedience "tricks," but he would pull my ass around the neighborhood on walks! With this new pup, we have implemented your methods (giving some leniency because he's a puppy) and we are building the perfect family dog! We've realized when you lay a foundation with your methods, it even makes the "tricks" easier to teach! Thanks for doing what you do!
This is a very similar story to me and my (now 11 month old) lab puppy! These videos have been extremely helpful for raising a dog that is both happy and that I am happy with. Thank you!
I'm always surprised when owners come to the training center but they haven't tried some of Joel's techniques on their own. He was so excited to see that he could make some drastic changes with a little work.
Interesting that the Dogo did not growl at or wasn’t even overly interested in trying to approach Prince, an un-neutered male himself. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, thx a lot!! 🐾
@@MrSomecrackhead Lol, so you know better than the dog trainer that has proof of this method working. ahahaa where do you get the undeserved confidence from, i need some
@@jsmith7888 Dude, are you seriously too naive to see that the dog at hand is properly formalized and is just being used for a production? Dog training and just awareness in general are not super complex subjects at the base level. Some people are just naive (you) while others have enough knowledge to see through BS (me). I have trained my dogs to a high degree all of my life. My grandmother was extraordinary in how well trained her dogs were, where they could literally go to the store for her. while I don't put in the hours she did and the world ihas changed to where that isn't possible I certainly know a dog's behavior and train mine to a high degree. No serious trainer tells you to yank a dog's leash. Just do a bit of research. That is the opposite of how you train a dog.
Taking a year off work to get our new property in order after moving xcountry and to train our 2 new pups….a giant schnauzer and german shepherd both 6 months now and had them since 8 weeks. The amount of work required with the 2 puppies and our 2 older dogs and 2 dozen chickens( newly hatched when the pups were 8 weeks both have been interacting daily with them) is unbelievable, but at the same time so rewarding. You and Will A have been my main mentors thru the process as it had been 33 years since i had puppy puppies all others were rescues and small breeds aside from my first 2 pups as a young kid. Going to walk with both of them on trails by myself and having total control and both pups walking at heel 50-75% of the time and loose leash almost our entire 1.5 hour walk. Meeting adult dogs who are lunging and barking at us and having my young girls sitting next to me calmly and obediently is the best feeling😊👍 the constant balancing act of letting them play and interact frequently but not all the time so we can avoid littermate syndrome being an issue with the exact same birthday and ensure individual training and play time for each. I wanted to leave you a message to say thank you so much for all you do….the information you and Will provide is priceless and helps so many individuals out👍❤️😊 keep it up man!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a dog so happy to be at Joel's place! He was like an 8 year old kid at Disneyworld, hyped up on cotton candy. So much to sniff, things to see, dogs to watch...totally forgot his owner. Took quite a while to get through to him with corrections, which he took in a very good natured way. Seems like a great dog that needs to get out more (difficult to do when the breed has such a bad reputation) and taken on long hikes to wear him out. Would love to see him mix with other dogs.
💪 Beckman you're good. I've got a young emergency Foster Dogo Argentino girl who's a year-and-a-half-old lying beside me. She is a gorgeous creature, with beautiful character. She wouldn't't move a week ago. Now she's a completely different dog. I give her a whole bunch of credit, and I'll take some, but I absolutely take my hat off and bow to you for your guidance in this clip and so many others. Respect! 🐶
I love your fair what I refer to as real world training. There is no way this dog is being stressed more than he can handle. Looks like a happy dog at the end of the session to me.
you can probably smash 2x4 over this dog's head and he would think you are playing with it (mostly kidding). Dogs are a lot more resilient and tougher than you think, they are not babies and can take reasonable corrections. I fostered a young blue heeler one time and in the beginning, every time i gave him a correction he would get excited and thought it was playtime, lol.
"Look at for this treat!" - That is the looser way. This was the best comment and description about this topic. Great as usual, Joe. Greetings from Brazil.
It's really nice to see some dogo argentino training videos on here as there aren't very many. Mine is definitely a smart, stubborn, driven, bold and awesome dog.
We adopted one to help my Autistic son with sleeping and confidence in social environments. We were told he was a bulldog and Lab mix and would probably max out in size at about 80lbs. He is about 110lbs and a foot taller than when we got him. I didn't know his bread till I was approached at the flea market by a man telling me what he was. I went home and Google imaged a picture of my dog and it found many pictures of dogs like mine of this breed. I wanted a dog that my son could hug as a 150lb kid and not hurt along with being mindful of my his emotional state making him feel safe and more confident when they are together. Colin our dog has done this with both my kids. A plus is that he likes our cat and they play and sleep together. Colin can be hardheaded but is improving everyday with us using your training videos. Thanks for making them. My question for you is have you worked with owners that are high functioning Autism to learn how to train their dogs? Can you make a video about it?
At the end we saw a kind of gentle leader type of collar. I think it's a good choice bc this dog can make you give up bc you are hurting your hands or shoulder while correcting so many times (against a very muscular dog).
Yeah it was a bit too much on the correction side in my opinion aswell, but this dog is reactive and excited, not sure what leesh they used but its half the work. I bet his schoulders and hands got the excercise but atleast its not permanent shoulder and hand pain if the dog stops pulling
I'm from Argentina!! Dogos Argentinos are supposed to be ALL white, because gauchos need to see them while hunting. Also, they are HUGE, this one looks like a mix with a Staffie. I live in the city and I've only ever seen one Dogo Argentino. They are mostly on countryside where they are the happiest.
Looks more like an American bulldog but I believe that is because his ears aren't cut. They are allowed one black marking on their coat and that has to do more for a show bred line. I had one years ago in 2001 and my male was a solid 115 lbs and he was very tall and muscular very lean. Solid white! The real game bred Dogo argentino should be bigger than this one in my opinion. Length and height and usually a larger head as well. They are mixing everything in the states.
My rescue Staff-Boxer cross is as big and as strong as that dog and was the same in behaviour, when I first got him. I tried all sorts of training that worked and some that only produced small results. Since I used Beckman's method in this video, he is a different dog, well behaved and corrects himself, when he feels the leash go tight. I wish many dog walkers I encounter, that have the dog pulling constantly, would find this channel and take in the instructions that Beckman says.
agree; i live in NYC and i see all the time 10lb terriers/chihuahuas/etc. pulling their owners all over the place and i always think "what the heck is the owner doing". And they need to get rid of the stupid harnesses.
I trained dogs for over thirty years. What you have been doing is. Basically. The silent walk . It's a great training excise. . William koeler, who was a great dog training, came up with this idea . During the 50s and 60s. The principle was the dog learns by its own mistakes. Without you chastising the dog .A brilliant Idea with great results that work faster than the squeaky voice brigade. Or angry frustration. Keep up the great work.
I commend people for caring about their companions and not wanting to be "too hard". It's a beautiful thing to see shy, hesitant owners become more confident and step into their leadership roles. It may be hard to get used to not putting up with nonsense + staying consistent, but it's so much harder having a dog who is in control. Well done, Joel! A lot of these folks need more confidence saying NO and meaning it, while the dogs need clear guidance and boundaries. YOU do amazing work 👏🏻
Hello greetings from Argentina! First; these breed of dogs is really powerfully and stubborn and don't back down. Perfect for hunting wild boars and sometimes Pumas. Second; France. Third; thank you for content
I'm a 132 pound woman and I have 4. I've never had an issue controlling them and they're older. But, I was a cowgirl barrel racer in rodeos. IT'S RESPECT.
Every day I meet dogs in pulling harnesses (nice padded shoulder straps and a clip between their shoulder blades) with owners clinging on for dear life - and I have to bite my tongue. Can't believe so many people will accept having this role placed upon them by their own dog! The role of hitching post/dead weight. Every walk the dog gets a sense of achievement and gets stronger at pulling. After all, that's the role their owner has taught them!
Dear Joel, greetings from Bulgaria, Europe. We have the "all positive" folks around here too, usually they are ladies. However we have alot of the "old school" methods people, usually older men. And I cannot tell you the amount of times I've heard owners to their dogs saying stuff like: "Don't pull me, I'll kick you!" Or "Come here, I'm gonna beat you to a pulp!" Can you please make a video about what violence does to a dogs brain and how it affects their behaviours? I think it's a no-brainer that violence towards an animal (humans as well) causes more violence on the other end. But I think some people just can't get their head around this. Also, a crazy idea: why don't you do a livestream with other RU-vid trainers? Like Tom Davis, Will Atherton, heck, Dogg daddy even Would love to see you guys discuss different methods and share opinions. Thanks for the awesome content!
I know I've praised your training in 1 or more videos but thank you again for showing how to train these stubborn dogs and that "positive reinforcement" ain't the answer and that dominance needs to be established
Joel I just wanted to let you know I do your method when I’m walking my 3 Swiss white Shepherds i rarely have to do it now thanks from Australia 🇦🇺🐶🐶🐶✌️
My first pooch was a little orange puppy my dad handed to me. I loved him, he grew and the more he grew so did I. I was an instant trainer of a German Shepherd/ Collie mix. Intelligent, friendly and responsive. I learned to harness this dogs energy and he protected me and my family. I never raised him to be macho or what ever. He was a friend who loved his family first then the public. I guess what I'm saying is that so many people get hard ass dogs to facilitate their own lack of machismo and this is wrong. I would rather have a toy Poodle who obeyed me, yet alerted me of danger that I could trust with my children than a buffed out killer dog on the prowl.
Yup, everyone adores my 150 lb Boerbol in public asking about owning one and how he'd be a great protector. Then I have to explain he's actually a farm dog and while he will protect us, it's actually our 60lb poodle who will kick ass and ask questions later he has fought off many a wild animal, stray dog, and robbers, my BB is amazing and very sweet and great on my property, that being said: never would have purchased him for a family home or anything less than a full sized house and acreage. My poodle can do everything my Boerbol does and more, he proves strength through action not looks.
@@jessicagislason4855 Most people are afraid of my Shepard. He's jet black with fawn legs and under tail. He's alert and intelligent but when we are with him he will approach the Mailman and sit on his feet expecting to be pet. Some young boy waked up to me while I was stacking firewood and my dog came around the corner and the kid was still with fear. My pooch walked over to him and dropped his toy at his feet..I said 'throw it'. I can go on but the Shephard stands guard..
I have tried several of your ways with my male Ridgeback. I especially like using the door one , just before we go for our walks, he rarely goes before me now and if he does, he comes straight back!
This is the exact video I’ve been searching for! We have a bull arab who looks exactly the same (just with liver coloured spots instead of black). There’s hardly any training videos out there training a dog breed like this so thank you so much! Will be implementing this training now!
I have 1 intact male and 3 intact female dogo argentinos. My male and 1 of my females are deaf. My deaf male has his CGC and BH. They are amazing dogs but require an active lifestyle, and the relationship between them and their handler is so important.
the pop at the end of the leash changed my entire relationship with my dog. great pyr (130 lbs), and absolutely is deaf to my commands (even though I worked extensively with him in home.) a leash pop speaks to him so clear, he catches onto what I'm asking IMMEDIATELY. I pair it with commands and routine, so he knows that obeying my word means a heads up to where we are going, what we are doing, who i want him to be weary of, if anyone, etc. its like i jumped 8 steps ahead in training overnight.
I have a question.. My rescue husky responded extremely well with this correction method. We left on vacation for 2 weeks and lately her walks are not the same. It's been close to 2 months now and she's back to her old ways of pulling and not even checking in (well with me more so but when my husband is with me on walks she's a complete mess) she pays zero attention. We're redoing the process all over again but I dont see progress. The dog retreat was phenomenal. Lots of dogs, open massive farm space and she was A+ behavioral wise. Maybe separation anxiety? I unno but damn she's reactive all over again.
Thanks so much for your channel. Im using your leash method with my 1 yr boxer mix. I took her on a walk the other day and she did so good. I actually realized that she could be a great running partner. I do hv a question. We are fostering to adopt a 5month labrabull. He is really sweet and smart. I'm wanting to know if I should allow them to play keep away from each other with tugs or any toy? They do play rough together and am supervising them so it doesnt get out of hand.
Dogo's, Pit Bull's, all dominant breed's unfortunately but necessary need this kind of treatment. No softness, they can turn deadly to any kind of creature. As you say, you don't live in Argentina anywhere in the mountains, you got to get along here in our world. Great Video !!!!
Been loving the content for a few weeks now. It's amazing to see the same techniques working over and over again! Can you show how these techniques work on small breeds that have attitude problems? You know the aggressive small dog "ankle biter" who stubbornly refuses to listen to "mom" or "dad".
You better be careful with pulling with small dogs, I would not recommend it unless you have full control of how much of crank on the neck he can handle. Big dogs can handle this because they are packed with big muscles, This is not a good idea on regular dogs. Control leash or use of sharp sounds would be better for small dogs
I love this video so much! Discipline is so important when training an aggressive dog. Positive reinforcement training is nice but it does not instill discipline, especially to aggressive and strong dogs.
Don’t pee on me and tell me it’s raining 🤣😂🤣😂 I think this is a beautiful breed but I would not want one myself. I would be scared I think which would leave a untrained dog but I’m sure they are great for some !
What a video! my dog is just like him (pure muscle) My dog is a mix of labrador and pitbull, he's so anxious and reactive to other dogs, we've been working so hard on these kind of behaviours lately but doing the things you have shown on your videos, we are getting better but it's not enough, I just got the gentle leader collar from amazon and I think it's a huge step for improving our walks, let's see how it goes
I just got a mini Aussie he’s 7 months old and walks fine until he sees someone or sees a dog then he just stops backs up and wants to flee he’s a very nervous dog I wish I knew how to help him overcome this!! And he’s a dear in headlights meeting new people at home or he’ll just hide behind me or somewhere alone the entire time someone new is over… I feel overtime we will build more trust as he’s very new and this will be a problem of the past.
Yes! It takes an extremely disciplined and no nonsense owner or they will walk all over you. But once they gain your respect as the Boss, they're the best most loyal dogs! We love our Nakia!
Thanks Joel, I'm working on all this that you show here, I'm over it! Absolutely. OK my guy is a labrador but he still loves fighting other males and enough is enough. He's either on a leash or he has a muzzle on, he lost his right to be off leash without a muzzle around other males.
Update, the other day he started on a bull mastiff ( massive male crufts champion) even whilst he was muzzled !... I disciplined him and he lied down for me, he just loves the fight, he isn't scared .no point waiting for some dog to correct him ... noone will then sooner or later one may just go too far... the snip is the only remaining option!
LOST MY DOGO TO OLD AGE AFTER ALMOST 16 YEARS. JUST GOT A 6 MONTH OLD BABY, BLUE PITBULL FROM THE ANIMAL SHELTER. GO TO POUND IF YOU NEED A PITBULL THEIR FULL OF THEM, MOST LOVING ANIMALS
My pup is 6 months old and I'm slowly getting her to meet other dogs. She growls or run up to them and bark sometimes. I want to do corrections but I remember your age-appropriateness vids so I am not sure how far I can go with corrections. Also she's a tiny chihuahua so I'd look very cruel if I correct her in front of other owners🥲 any suggestions? By the way I'm your big fan🙏🏻☺️
Hi! First of all, english is not my first language, so I apologize if I make a mistake or my comment is hard to understand or sounds rude. This is the first time seeing your videos. I have a question. I have a dogo de burdeos and she behaves the same way this dogo argentino acts, is it good to use this technique or should I use something different?
What's funny is that my one year old Pitbull/Husky mix looks exactly like that. AND BOY is he stubborn! But he is such a sweet boy that I find it hard to get mad at him.
I have a 8 month old pug and want to start using this method to gain more control (not with as much force). What other leash alternatives are there? I am scared that a collar might hurt his neck.
Flat collars don't apply alot of force that's why they aren't good for correcting, you can try a e collar, some dogs absolutely hate the sounds of the beep when they do something wrong and will be on best behavior no force necessary.
Thats a stunning dog but seeing the owner get dragged doesnt show a strong leader...he has to go as you mean to go from the beginning .that is a strong ,strong breed Hes so lucky he is willing to listen, sweet dog
He looks a bit mix.... not sure 100%. But love your work. It will really help if you can make a vidoe on leash reactivity/ Other pet dog reactivity in dogo argentino's.
I would be very interested in getting one from the great Morocho's line. We have 40 acre orchard for he/she to run on. If you an I would appreciate the contact info to start the application process. Thank you
Is there another video, showing how he was taught not to bully his Doberman? I have a bossy, 2 year old GSD who harasses his 7 year old pack mate. I was looking forward to that part. ❤ you channel. Thank you.
