I have no business adopting a dobermann , nor is my lifestyle anywhere able to accommodate one. But every time I see Prince and his majestic play bows it does something to a person. Hes such a good boy. A model one.
Joel going through the gate and turning back to Boomy and saying, "no dude," as he shuts the gate in the dogs face is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Joel is that one guy in every friend group that's always 100% serious, but doesn't realize how hilarious he is to everyone else by simply being himself. Between that dog flipping itself and barking like a manic and Joel commenting on the fence and the purely positive people, this video is gold.
Long term stress is damaging but short term intentional stress is how you get stronger. So while it is stressful getting over social anxieties, it's far more damaging to live with that stress your whole life.
depends on what kind of stress. Stress from insecurity and fear doenst help with learning. There are plenty of studies done, that with stress they dont learn shit.
@@marijkee719 he said intentional though. That's the basis of exposure therapy. For people voluntarily facing fears and insecurities in small increments is therapeutic. Too much and forced can be traumatic.
I thought it was hilarious how he changed his bark and demeanor when actually faced with Prince's playing. Probably did more good than all the rest to realize he was not all that after all.
I was snickering - ok, I was laughing hysterically - at Boomi flipping himself and nonchalantly carrying on but then I really was laughing how Joel talked about it & using his hand describing how Boomi flipped himself. Look forward to watching Boomi’s improvement.
it’s almost like when prince moves towards him he doesn’t know what to do and when prince walks away he gets a kick out of it.... pretty interesting. you should go in depth more about this.
Me: watching video in bed after a long walk with my dogs. The stare I got from one of them who just wants to relax when he hears the extreme barking 😅😑🤣
A good dog trainer has an arsenal of things to use to fix problems. I love your approach of changing it up if something doesn't work. Also seeing Prince steal your socks is always hilarious
It's so interesting how he acts all tough when he's chasing Prince but the moment Prince starts chasing him he gets scared. Then Pince runs away again and suddenly he instantly gets his confidence back. I wouldn't say that Prince didn't phase him, he was obviously scared, but he didn't learn from it. He kept coming back for more.
Joel is so genuine, he says what we only dare to think 😂. That dog is hysterical in a sad sort of way, hope he gets there. If that fence did break that Joel was leaning on, it would have been the icing on the cake 😂
I love how you recognize that the dog's brain isn't working like normal. My dog has similar issues of being overwhelmed by many situations (especially dogs) and he loses his ability to think. I have reached out to vets and trainers with experience dealing with problem dogs but nobody listens to me when I try to explain that my dog is not "normal". I mean, I have worked with many kinds of dogs in the past 15 years, and helped others fix problem behavior, and not one dog has ever been close to behaving like mine. My family thinks that he'll never be "fully tame". I can manage him, but his life will never be as easy as other dogs; especially when his strong reactions have sent dominant dogs to attack him in the past and pinning only worked against fixing his social issues. Eager to see what progress you make with Boomie. Currently I'm giving my dog a mild sedative to help keep his emotions from peaking too hard, but I'm always looking for ways to make his quality of life better.
@Fruzsina Tóth It's a great sign that you have found a crack where you can get her focus, shows hope for desensitization therapy. I actually finally have gotten a proper medication for my dog, so I'm going through that journey with him as well, trying to find a way through all the triggers he's developed in the past. Good luck with your dogs; I know how the wild ones sometimes set off even the more stable dogs - and both your dogs are of strong willed breeds, too! Hopefully there's progress coming up soon in you guys' future.
@Fruzsina Tóth I first started giving him some melatonin since my vet refused to listen to me about how I suspected that my dog might have an anxiety disorder. That shaved off the very peak of his blind rage and made him easier to get through when he entered the state of being overwhelmed. For us to get a proper medication, though, my dog had to reach the rock bottom. He woke up one morning with a startle and was deathly afraid of everything - including me. He lounged at me three times, bit me, and no matter how long I waited, he couldn't get over his blind rage defense mode. I called a private animal hospital's help number because I couldn't even take my dog for a walk and needed advice. They booked me a time with their associated trainer who specializes in fear aggression and told me to write her an email explaining my dog's background and current problem. The trainer sent us straight to a similarly specialized vet (without the consultation) and it cost me 500 euros to convince them that his behavior changes didn't have a physiological cause; they wanted to test all other possibilities first. In the end they agreed that there was nothing to explain his complete lack of emotional control and he was given a prescription of fluoxetine. He still has his good days and bad days, but hasn't gone into the blind rage once these past 3 months. However I don't thinking he'll ever stop taking the pills. I hope your girl isn't quite as extreme a case, most dogs fortunately hold much better chances of recovery. :)
@Fruzsina Tóth Thank you for the compassion. :) Actually, since he got a proper medication, he's been almost like just a normal, anxious dog. As long as no dog runs up to us, or nobody talks to us, you'll see nothing strange in his behavior. In fact, since we moved almost a month ago and he's slowly getting comfortable with his new surroundings, I've just this week started to take him out to muzzle-free walks every now and then. We're making steady progress now, but it sure was rough six years to get here.
I’ve never seen another dog like mine...til now. He will helicopter himself like this. And go after bigger dogs...while completely shaking. His stress and anxiety levels are off the chart. I don’t have access to him being around other dogs like this to help desensitize. Luckily we have a yard where we can run around.
My dog puts dogs in place. Like if a smaller dog keeps barking and growling, he will literally pin the other dog (Not aggressively) until the other dog chills out.
As the owner of a reactive dog, my heart goes to this little one. You are right to point out that simulation means he loses control and doesn't know what to do. He is not happy but is hard to reach. I really hope you can take his sky-high stress away because he would so much happier. But I know from experience how hard that is. Good luck.
Boomie is such a hilarious character full of bravado. I am looking forward to see him progress as he has just a bit from the last video. It’s going to take some creativity to get through to him and I am here for it! Great job, Joel, can’t wait for the next Boomie episode.😂
Boomie, with his acting out, his antics, is safe with Prince. But antics of his could get him badly injured, or worse. Because someday he might encounter a big dog who doesn't have the sensibilities and composure that Prince has.
Bumi’s owners are good people! I can relate to Bumi’s owners because Bella is three times worst if you can believe it. I love her beyond words and try extra hard to help her with dedication and consistency… But it is so hard! Thank you Joel because of your videos I am a better dog mom, and Bell a is much normal/happier dog. THANK YOU!!!
Very interesting. I see where the behavior was mental. Yrs ago had a Jack Russell with a seizure disorder. As he aged we couldn't keep seizures controlled. He became very aggressive toward other dogs other than our boxer. I could see a "flip" in his eyes and he would go ballistic. I swear the seizures caused brain changes.
Prince thinking this entire thing is a game while this little dog tries his hardest to murder him is absolute GOLD… Prince’s like _”haha can’t get me you’re on a leash sucker!”_ 🤣
So much good stuff in here. Topped off with Prince in all his glory, right down to grabbing your socks as usual! I appreciate the nuance and different methods you use based on what the dog is actually doing, and showing us the differences in reactivity! Not all dogs are the same and Joel you are no One Trick Pony!
So impressed with Prince in the videos with this little dog. He is very tolerant and good natured. Thanks for showing us the work you do with these tough dogs. Very helpful.
hahah prince LOVES messing with him! its like when you hear how K9s are just playing a game or just out to do a job when they catch and chase down criminals, prince is just playing around but hes training this dog at the same time
I'm realy enjoying this, in a good way. Prince is so well mannered. Prince's mind in my head: Wanna play with me? Dude, come play. 🥺 Well if I annoy him maybe he wants to play........ Hahaaaa catch me if you caaaannn 🤪🤪🤪🌪️🌪️ Bro... Come play, come catch me. HA! Tag... Your it. Aww come on duuude I just want to play. OK one more try... Tag you're it! What ever I gave it my all boss, I'm out of options. I realy love watching this! It's slow but I can see the progress happening. You need captions for prince 😉
I love to follow these cases through. I was really interested to follow Ava when she was in board and train. Here for more Boomi content, thanks Joel, this little guy is an interesting and tough case!
Thank you for this video, its one I've been looking for "An over stimulated terrier". I have 3 terriers now, 2 of them with reactive issues one very similar to this guy, I've been working with them throughout lockdown. They are able to meet other calm dogs, but any Fast movement will set one or both off. It's a long process made more difficult with 2 troubled dogs but we making slow progress. Wish I had a Prince to tell them off. but only have a old calm westie(Who is perfect) and can't be bothered with all the hassle :)
Wow I'm impressed with even that improvement after only 2 sessions! Hope we get to see him out in the pasture with other dogs. I would think that would really tire him out!!
Go Prince! 👏 I have a little shelter dog that I adopted this year & I trained her out of separation anxiety right away. We practice desensitization & I take her running 2-3 miles every week to get her pent-up energy out. 🏃
I had a Pitt for 16 years he passed 8 years ago I wish this channel was around then could of used a couple tips. He was a great dog for sure it was meeting new dogs that was difficult sometimes.
My dog is living proof of the dog getting a new normal after being around other dogs. I take my dog to my sisters and she has kids so he was always way too excited around them, after a couple good meetings with my friends dogs, he is a different dog now even when he goes to jump on one of the kids its more of a straight up thing and not a lunge that used to get him in trouble or make the kids scared of him. Now if I could just get the neighbors around me to see these video with small dogs non-stop barking to help them with theirs lol
I have a shih tzu Lhasa apso mix that I adopted Feb. 2021 who behaves very much like this little dog. Thanks for posting a “little dog” video. I think my girl Angel might need to visit you and go through some desensitization as well.
Great video! This little guy is like my sons dog in size, with hyperactivity and with general nuttiness. Ironically, It was the first dog my leash reactive shepherd rescue learned to be around. I was shocked on how well she did with his incessant activity- once she was off leash. I didn’t think she’d tolerate him at any level. I saw a tiny bit of Prince in her that day. This little guy was already so much better with Prince after he came out of the pool. There’s a ray of hope here. Great job Joel!
Prince is such a champ. Love watching him in play mode while Bumi is like "Dude, I'm super duper tough, you should be scared" ...and then runs away. Much love to Bumi's humans for working to find him a less stressful existence.
Prince reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn...gets right up to the end of the dog's reach (due to the dog's leash). Give Prince a stick to spank the dog! Great job Prince and Joel!
I'd love to see what the girl from it's me or the dog would do!! She likes to do a lot of positive reinforcement with treats and corrections by walking the dog away from the other dog.
I remember an interview with Chicago Bulls head coach Phil Jackson. He said..... He had to talk to the whole team and tell them.... Dennis Rodman is not like any other player. Therefore, I'm gonna have to treat him differently than all of you. I can NOT have any of you point to those differences and saying "It's not fair." It WILL be fair. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's not fair. Joel..... You are like Phil Jackson. Your ability to recognize this dog is different. That he's a good dog. Maybe even HOF like Dennis. But... You're gonna have to find a different way to make him the best he can be and you're gonna have to do it "on the fly". There wasn't a "Dennis manual." It's interesting to see you up against a real challenge. Good luck.
This is such an interesting little man....I am fascinated by how you will deal with him as I have a pair of border collie brothers (nearly 2) who demonstrate some very similar behaviours towards other dogs when on lead. As you say, it is impossible to deal with once the "flip out" starts. Your methods have been a great help but, we are definitely still a work in progress. Thank you for all the help you have given.
Some day you'll have to sit down and tell us how you managed to teach Prince how to be so very, very good at this. It's stunning how much of a teaching partner he is.
Prince had such a good time😂 Boomy (spelling?) is certainly confident and bold, he definitely needs to let out a lot of steam...good to see his progress!
Like you said, he has to be physically and mentally exhausted before he can calm down. It might’ve been Caesar Milan that said that a tired dog is a happy dog but I think that could apply in this case. I wonder if taking him on a walk around the block a couple of times and getting him desensitized to that route could provide enough mental and physical stimulation to help with meeting other dogs. I love your videos and can’t wait to see more on how you help out Bumi and the other dogs.
Totally agree , I always say exercise will slove 80% of your problems. Although a great mature confident dog like Prince also helps plenty. .Also agree with Joel this dog has a "serious problem", so many times small dogs are left unchecked. As a large dog owner this behavior is unacceptable .
I have a Chihuahua mix living next door just like this dog. It is taken three months to get this dog to trust me and my favorite Doberman. The problem, the humans.😂
My dog is exactly like Boomy. Small, barky, and very reactive with dogs. He is only desensitized to 2 dogs currently. And that was only after months of recurrent exposure. Unfortunately walking him is a pain as he freaks out any time he sees another dog. He’s the sweetest boy with humans though. I just found your videos and I’m hoping that I can learn from your work with Boomy.
Joel you’re tactics restore my faith in the dog community. In all honesty, I’m sick and tired of the positive reinforcement community. Just witnessed a pretty bad fight at the dog park and one of the owners solutions was to shake a bag of treats in her dogs face while it attempted to rip out the throat of the other dog.
I adopted a little dog. I think it harder specially if they are off leash coz you cant always reach them at the correct time for any corrections. {So on Leash}. And my corrections had to be toned downed a bit because of the light weight of the dog. He was my first tiny dog so I just had to learn and be patient. I think the biggest and most important thing i did for my little dog was treat him as any other dog. with a few variations due to his little body. . Really Love this Show Many thanks. .
I have no business adopting a dobermann , nor is my lifestyle anywhere able to accommodate one. But every time I see Prince and his majestic play bows it does something to a person. Hes such a good boy. A model one.
Joel going through the gate and turning back to Boomy and saying, "no dude," as he shuts the gate in the dogs face is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

💯😁
Plus Prince going off with a sock again, too!
@0:55 - You’re welcome.
Prince play bow-ing, the running just at boomy’s max leash distance is such older sibling level taunting- I love it.
"He's like a...a ferret" - best line ever!
Long term stress is damaging but short term intentional stress is how you get stronger. So while it is stressful getting over social anxieties, it's far more damaging to live with that stress your whole life.

@@marijkee719 he said intentional though. That's the basis of exposure therapy. For people voluntarily facing fears and insecurities in small increments is therapeutic. Too much and forced can be traumatic.
Unbelievable how quick boomy goes from having a confident bark with tail in the air to tucked tail and a yelp type bark and then straight back.
I thought it was hilarious how he changed his bark and demeanor when actually faced with Prince's playing. Probably did more good than all the rest to realize he was not all that after all.
This is probably the biggest indication of the dog's crazy compensation for his insecurity.
I was snickering - ok, I was laughing hysterically - at Boomi flipping himself and nonchalantly carrying on but then I really was laughing how Joel talked about it & using his hand describing how Boomi flipped himself. Look forward to watching Boomi’s improvement.
it’s almost like when prince moves towards him he doesn’t know what to do and when prince walks away he gets a kick out of it.... pretty interesting. you should go in depth more about this.
Prince also got a kick outta moving towards him
Prince sees sock: "I'll take that."
I love how Prince is just playing when Boomy is going nuts, he made me smile 😃 what an amazing dog x
Me: watching video in bed after a long walk with my dogs. The stare I got from one of them who just wants to relax when he hears the extreme barking 😅😑🤣

Boomie is so cute but clearly confused lol. He don’t know if he’s a tough guy or a scaredy cat
Opened with best "duuude"'drop in a while!
It’s the “duuude” after Boomie does the matrix flip 😂
I am making an appointment basically just to see my puppy swim in Joel’s pool. 😂😂😂
My new rescue dog is like this ☹️ I'm thankful Joel was so patient with him here.
This is a big help for this dog, Prince might tolerate it but other dogs might not be so kind and someone will end up being mauled
Prince's play bow is adorable!!!
Boomie, with his acting out, his antics, is safe with Prince. But antics of his could get him badly injured, or worse. Because someday he might encounter a big dog who doesn't have the sensibilities and composure that Prince has.
"Prince dose like to mess with dogs" 😂 qt least he enjoys his job
Bumi’s owners are good people! I can relate to Bumi’s owners because Bella is three times worst if you can believe it. I love her beyond words and try extra hard to help her with dedication and consistency… But it is so hard! Thank you Joel because of your videos I am a better dog mom, and Bell a is much normal/happier dog. THANK YOU!!!
I understand the seriousness of this subject, but Prince (starting at 5:20) had me cracking up!
Very interesting. I see where the behavior was mental. Yrs ago had a Jack Russell with a seizure disorder. As he aged we couldn't keep seizures controlled. He became very aggressive toward other dogs other than our boxer. I could see a "flip" in his eyes and he would go ballistic. I swear the seizures caused brain changes.
They sent him to the right guy for help. Prince is really helping him already.
Prince thinking this entire thing is a game while this little dog tries his hardest to murder him is absolute GOLD… Prince’s like _”haha can’t get me you’re on a leash sucker!”_ 🤣
So much good stuff in here. Topped off with Prince in all his glory, right down to grabbing your socks as usual! I appreciate the nuance and different methods you use based on what the dog is actually doing, and showing us the differences in reactivity! Not all dogs are the same and Joel you are no One Trick Pony!
Boomie is definitely moving forward. This is so interesting! Definitely keep describing the body language!!
So impressed with Prince in the videos with this little dog. He is very tolerant and good natured.
Thanks for showing us the work you do with these tough dogs. Very helpful.
hahah prince LOVES messing with him! its like when you hear how K9s are just playing a game or just out to do a job when they catch and chase down criminals, prince is just playing around but hes training this dog at the same time
Prince is pure gold!
I'm realy enjoying this, in a good way.
Prince is so well mannered.
Prince's mind in my head:
Wanna play with me?
Dude, come play. 🥺
Well if I annoy him maybe he wants to play........
Hahaaaa catch me if you caaaannn 🤪🤪🤪🌪️🌪️
Bro... Come play, come catch me.
HA! Tag... Your it.
Aww come on duuude I just want to play.
OK one more try... Tag you're it!
What ever I gave it my all boss, I'm out of options.
I realy love watching this!
It's slow but I can see the progress happening.
You need captions for prince 😉
My little dog is just as blown and as mentally challenged as Bummi, I’ve watched this video 10 times, it gives me hope on some level. Thanks!
I love to follow these cases through. I was really interested to follow Ava when she was in board and train. Here for more Boomi content, thanks Joel, this little guy is an interesting and tough case!
Thank you for this video, its one I've been looking for "An over stimulated terrier". I have 3 terriers now, 2 of them with reactive issues one very similar to this guy, I've been working with them throughout lockdown. They are able to meet other calm dogs, but any Fast movement will set one or both off. It's a long process made more difficult with 2 troubled dogs but we making slow progress. Wish I had a Prince to tell them off. but only have a old calm westie(Who is perfect) and can't be bothered with all the hassle :)
Wow I'm impressed with even that improvement after only 2 sessions! Hope we get to see him out in the pasture with other dogs. I would think that would really tire him out!!
Again this is pretty much my dog.. and it's hard to find any doggy parents who'd want to help me with it cause he's just too much.
Totally- my dog plays too rough so finding dog owners who would be willing to let their dogs help her learn better social skills is tough.
His level of arousal is super high. He is completely addicted to the excitement.
Within watching 2 of your videos this has instantly become one of my favorite channels.
That little dog barked until his voice gave out 😂😂
It’s crazy how you have thought Prinz to behave that way , makes your training job so much easier 💪😍
prince just having a grand ol time teasing the hell out of him
Go Prince! 👏 I have a little shelter dog that I adopted this year & I trained her out of separation anxiety right away. We practice desensitization & I take her running 2-3 miles every week to get her pent-up energy out. 🏃

Much love to Bumi's humans for working to find him a less stressful existence.
Yes, much love to them! ❤️
Prince reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn...gets right up to the end of the dog's reach (due to the dog's leash). Give Prince a stick to spank the dog!
Great job Prince and Joel!
I’m sorry but i died laughing when he flipped
My female chocolate lab would steal my socks too. Right off my feet sometimes too when I was at my desk. Silly puppy.
My dog is reactive. Thank you for offering a different approach.
Love your videos. You are a amazing person. World is better place for what you do.
This INCREASES my love for dobermans I've always loved them, and I didn't know it was possible to love them even more yet here we are 😳💅
most of the dogs i have seen on here are large and full breeds. It's really nice to see a little runt mutt...a regular dog.
EXCELLENT video on so many levels. Thank you ☺️
I'd love to see what the girl from it's me or the dog would do!! She likes to do a lot of positive reinforcement with treats and corrections by walking the dog away from the other dog.
I enjoyed watching Prince 'mess' with the little dog. I think he was having fun.
What a change in Boomy in ONE day! I watched the first video and can't believe how much he has shifted! Great video, Joel, thanks.
This dog went from sounding like a normal dog to sounding like a squeaky toy 🤣💀
Your clarity and honesty...is admirable...good to see the rough with the smooth..thanks..that one of the most interesting videos...
Prince is a champ. So in control and tolerance. Great video.
BTW - just give him a treat and all will be fine....😜😜😜
It looks like a good amount of progress to me.
I remember an interview with Chicago Bulls head coach Phil Jackson. He said..... He had to talk to the whole team and tell them.... Dennis Rodman is not like any other player. Therefore, I'm gonna have to treat him differently than all of you. I can NOT have any of you point to those differences and saying "It's not fair." It WILL be fair. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's not fair.
Joel..... You are like Phil Jackson. Your ability to recognize this dog is different. That he's a good dog. Maybe even HOF like Dennis. But... You're gonna have to find a different way to make him the best he can be and you're gonna have to do it "on the fly". There wasn't a "Dennis manual." It's interesting to see you up against a real challenge. Good luck.
This is such an interesting little man....I am fascinated by how you will deal with him as I have a pair of border collie brothers (nearly 2) who demonstrate some very similar behaviours towards other dogs when on lead. As you say, it is impossible to deal with once the "flip out" starts. Your methods have been a great help but, we are definitely still a work in progress. Thank you for all the help you have given.
Im loving this session specially this boomie!
What an awesome dog 🐕
I think Prince needs a raise!
Man I love Prince!!!
Prince
*Im just here for dads socks*
Some day you'll have to sit down and tell us how you managed to teach Prince how to be so very, very good at this. It's stunning how much of a teaching partner he is.
Boomy the little hot dog 🌭 🐕😀
Just like us humans, dogs can have mental problems too. Love to see how you progress with Bumi!
Prince is so awesome. Playbows ~ Prince is saying DUDE heehee
"His body can only stay at that level for so long"... until he takes on his Super Sayan form and continues for another 4 hours.
Prince had such a good time😂 Boomy (spelling?) is certainly confident and bold, he definitely needs to let out a lot of steam...good to see his progress!
Like you said, he has to be physically and mentally exhausted before he can calm down. It might’ve been Caesar Milan that said that a tired dog is a happy dog but I think that could apply in this case. I wonder if taking him on a walk around the block a couple of times and getting him desensitized to that route could provide enough mental and physical stimulation to help with meeting other dogs. I love your videos and can’t wait to see more on how you help out Bumi and the other dogs.
Totally agree , I always say exercise will slove 80% of your problems. Although a great mature confident dog like Prince also helps plenty. .Also agree with Joel this dog has a "serious problem", so many times small dogs are left unchecked. As a large dog owner this behavior is unacceptable .
Dobermans need lots of exercise it's nice to see him playing with the little dog
I have a Chihuahua mix living next door just like this dog. It is taken three months to get this dog to trust me and my favorite Doberman. The problem, the humans.😂
My foster dog is like that. I’m afraid to let her get too close because I don’t know if she’ll fight or not. It’s exhausting!
My dog is exactly like Boomy. Small, barky, and very reactive with dogs. He is only desensitized to 2 dogs currently. And that was only after months of recurrent exposure. Unfortunately walking him is a pain as he freaks out any time he sees another dog. He’s the sweetest boy with humans though. I just found your videos and I’m hoping that I can learn from your work with Boomy.
He’s a stud 💪
Joel you’re tactics restore my faith in the dog community. In all honesty, I’m sick and tired of the positive reinforcement community. Just witnessed a pretty bad fight at the dog park and one of the owners solutions was to shake a bag of treats in her dogs face while it attempted to rip out the throat of the other dog.
Big improvement!
Wonderful.
he sounds like a squeeky toy near the end there
awesome he is improving
Prince was totally trolling that little guy. LOL.
Hahaha wow that barking got a lot more submissive pretty quick he went from snarls to squeaks 😊
Cirque de Soleil called. They want to talk to Bumi.
I adopted a little dog. I think it harder specially if they are off leash coz you cant always reach them at the correct time for any corrections. {So on Leash}. And my corrections had to be toned downed a bit because of the light weight of the dog. He was my first tiny dog so I just had to learn and be patient. I think the biggest and most important thing i did for my little dog was treat him as any other dog. with a few variations due to his little body. . Really Love this Show Many thanks. .
