Thank you for this one! Finally a dog that acts like mine. I was training at some goat field this afternoon and released him I don't know, 20 times, and he kept lunging at the end of the leash. I didn't even pop it back, he did 100% of the correction himself. People came up and asked what I was doing. I could tell they thought it was sad for the dog. I told them what's sad is he didn't get trained (properly) for 3 years and had no exposure to the outside world. He's already doing so much better with other dogs. In 6 months I want him to be able to chill with other animals too.
I love how you show the dogs that are so difficult to handle, this is real and raw, unlike some of the videos on YT when it all looks so easy and quick, cause the dogs shown are so well behaved x
Tbh even the dog in this video is considered mild. My dog, and many leash pullers I met do not even come back when you tug. Especially if they are going for another dog. They will fight HARD and ZERO focus on the owner. Its like in that moment they have a tunnel vision.
Yeah! If I had known how destructive and crazy dogs (puppies) were, I really would have adopted an older, more obedient dog. My yard is destroyed as is some of my siding. She’s escaped several times and fights the leash like you’re trying to kill her with it. People need to stop saying “please adopt this lonely puppy.” They NEVER say how destructive and how high maintenance they are. Only small hollow words like “yeah puppies need some attention but they are sooo cute”. I’m tired of the lies. People need to be warned!
I Love your training videos! My son and his two dogs moved in with me a few months ago. They had a Huge pen and the Lab mix busted them out. Now they're in the house. Over the last few months, the same dog has bruised me from head to toe and drug me all over the yard. Until I started watching your videos. Within two days, after employing your techniques, I'm able to walk him on a loose leash, without getting beat up. Thanks So Much!
This was a good one. That dog was hating it and its good to see you pushing through it. This is what people need to see because when the dog acts like that it can make you doubt what you're doing.
Definitely agree. The tough ones are best as with your skill the can still act up and doesn't phase you. It's good to see keep these ones coming as we need to see what to do with the more difficult. Thanks
I did this to one of my huskies today and he was not happy because he didn’t get to enjoy his walk coz I kept stopping when he starts pulling. I wish Beckmans training is near where I am at I have 3 I want trained.
That was a great video! It's clear that he is a stubborn dog and that you were not harming him in any way. You gave him a command, and he clearly said NO WAY! Great video!
I have 2 dogs and was is much more of a puller than the other. They are both much better after one trip down our long driveway than they were when I started ! So far so good! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this !! Doing this with my puppy so we can leave house calmer! Your vids are great and I've passed them on to a friend who can't thank me enough! You are the best trainer ever!!!
I am so glad I dug up this video. I have a 7 month old boxer/American pitbull terrier rescue pup who is 53lbs of solid pulling machine. I am not a tiny person and he has caused me to stumble more than once when he spotted an insect and decided to rapidly bulldoze to the end of the leash when I least expected it. He is insanely strong for his size, and I just have not done the best job with him on manners on a leash. I appreciate that you discuss expectations being different for young, crazy pups vs. more mature dogs.
finally a video that speaks to me & my 11mos old dog! the “tug o war leash dance” drives me crazy…making progress with Beckman’s methods but slow go; i loved when Joel walked up the leash as i have done that a million times! 😂 glad he does it too!
He is a beautiful American bulldog he is a very happy boy I like mr,beckmans training a lot but man it’s hard to watch a puppy so happy get worked hard like this but it will definitely make him a great dog and he will have such a better life being able to go places and live life would love to see more of this dog
I've watched quite a few of the leash training videos and this one gets my top spot. Most show puppies that have already learned very good control and not the struggle. This was very helpful and I like how you reinforce that it's a gradual progression. Thanks.
This is so much like my 9 month GSD!!! Thank you so much! I thought for sure i was doing something wrong because all the other dogs were catching on so fast! Thank you!
Joel you know what I liked most about that session, it was raw and real. I think all of us go on UA-cam and expect to see complete fixes in an eight minute video but that's not life ... This is life. The reality check teaches us that it's possible to get a well trained dog we just need to drop the quick fix and start training daily ! Awesome man, thank you 👍
I've been watching your vids for a while now and just wanted to say thank you for keeping the videos short, simple and effective. I appreciate what you do
Yes my puppy was like this dog when I first start to walk her! She didn’t care about me at all but the exciting world even though there were always positive reinforcement. I’ve been watching sooo many videos for stopping leash pulling and this is the one that works the best in just one day~ Thank you so much for sharing!!
I've been following a youtube channel where positive reinforcement is emphasized. I never got my dog to stop pulling during leash walking. Now, I just watched one of your video about leash pulling, applied what I learned and now my dog is very behaved on leash. Yet I can still see that my dogs enjoys the walk.
Thank you for this great video. This is how my dog was!! Then I started useing your training methods. Thanks to YOU😃I am now able to walk my dog any place!! I believe you are the best trainer I have watched👍Now I am able to enjoy my dog an not look like a dummy...I am on a arm base,all the dogs here are so obedient.Now I fit right in.I am so proud of my Dobie.You saved us an made my life happy!!!Still watching. Sincerely grateful Deborah and Trooper.
I just tried your method on my 2 dogs. It works. They kept trying to pull but not nearly as often. For the first time I have hope that I can actually walk my dogs and enjoy it. This is awesome for them too. Thank you!!! Your amazing.
This is the second video I’ve watch learning how to correct the sort of leash reactivity behaviors with dogs and it’s very helpful because you were doing it in real time. Hello my name is Myranda, I have made previous comments on your videos I am the one who is currently living with my uncle and he has the 10 dogs and I am learning how to properly train my new dog and then eventually get to train all of his six year old husky malamute mixes that are completely untrained. Thanks so much for your channel.
Thank you for the great training! It seems like every video is something my young dog does. I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos.
This is a good video thank you very much. Ive got a two year old dog that pulls a ton, nose in the grass etc and Ive been trying to train her not to pull… this correction helped a lot, although she just kept pulling every ten feet, but when the leash got tight i did your correction and she responded really well… so now i just need her to stop leading bc it tires her out so much even on a 20 minute walk. Either way, great lesson for a rookie dog owner. Thank you
This is the video I needed to see! Thank you so much for breaking it down and showing us step by step!! You have helped me and my two 6 month old rescue more than you know! I am so grateful, truly!
Thank you! Watching you work with this dog showed that with patience and consistency, most dogs will eventually become easier to handle. I especially appreciate when you say, "Was this perfect?" Followed by not totally, but in due time a form of it is achievable ;-)
This lengend uploaded this video just a day before I bought a 9 month old pitbull of d craigslist. He has exact problem with the leash full of energy and running around everywhere pulling crazy during the walks. After doing this correction last 2 days in 4 walks, He seems to do much better now. This same key word "ah ah" during pull also helped me out with his harsh mouthing during the play. Thanks a lot. I never thought my first pet would be a wanna be dominant and energytic Pitbull puppy lol.
Thanks to you, I’ve actually been able to loose leash walk my dog ❤️ I couldn’t do that before and I was frustrated with her constant pulling. Now we actually enjoy walks! Thank you!!!!
This is such a realistic training video and that I appreciate. I just recently started training my cousin's 4 year old yellow lab and when I started out, made the mistake of focusing on training videos that made unrealistic claims. You know, the ones where the handler claims to be able to fix ANY dog in 15 minutes. Well, after days and then weeks of work, this dog was nowhere near "leash trained". I began getting frustrated which then translated to him, as he was picking up on my on my emotions. Now, more than two months later, we're still working, but steadily making improvements. He sits each and every time the leash is about to go on, and also comes and sits whenever we're on a walk and I pause to regain his attention. He's still wanting to pull, but nothing like before. Now, it's mainly when he spots a deer or catches a scent that he's determined to follow. Like you said, the leash means nothing to this dog, but he's beginning to respect it more each day. Patience and perseverance are winning.
Thank you for this video. This is how my 4 month old puppy is responding to loose leash training. She’s growing fast so I’m trying to get results before she gets so much stronger.
Yes, Joel flashing his hands around the dog's face to desensitize dog to when you will eventually want to be able to access his collar without him always dodging! nice
I've watched every dog trainer on UA-cam. Beckman is the only one I watch now. He does not edit, cut, or use already-trained dogs. He bakes from scratch and lets us see the entire process, even the frustration.
I really liked the fact that u r using a normal collar not some pokey prong collar i have a 4 month old golden retriever puppy and he is a crazy leash puller, with your method i can already see the progress on day one.....thanks for the video this helped a lot
This video I found has been a lifesaver! I’m 50 with a 28kg strong 7 month old puppy who is just like this puppy! I’ve tried every positive reinforcement technique with no success he is crazy on the walk! I’m trying this today- the only thing is he gets frustrated with correction on the walk then starts lunging at me and biting the leash near my hand and won’t let go- not sure how to deal with this!
Curious to see, two dogs walking together. Mine do good one on one. Obey, stay close. Do well at ignoring other barking dogs. However together, they go full blown bucking bronco on me. (One is 10yrs old and little, the other is 1.5yrs old, medium in size) Currently when I walk them, they are on separate leashes. I used to be able to train dogs to safely and obediently -walk off leash. I had a stroke from a wicked migraine and have lost the ability to recall the lessons. I know consistent repetition and taking the time, is crucial. These videos really do work and help out beyond words! Tysvm🎉
I have a English Mastiff. And got him back after the divorce quite unruly. A big no-no for such a large dog. I’m so glad I came across a few of your videos. The prep before leaving the house is paramount. The pull back before outside peeing builds into acceptable leash behavior on the walk. You are the only UA-camr who delivers from just watching your videos. Thanks 🙏🏿
We got to see a dog be hard headed and really continue to try to ignore the leash, so instructive, watched every second of this. "I said his name, he said no, and it's happening," no meanness; instead, clarity, determination and patience.
I live in Fl so cant come to you. Your videos are helping me so much. I have 6 month old Australian Shepherd. Im a strong fit 74 year old woman. Hes a 40 pound head strong and body strong dog. Hes pulled me over on a walk over a tiny pomeranian. 😂 i thought a few tries with your method would help. Wrong but thanks to you being real, i havent killed him yet. Im not a patient person but im learning from you. I want this dog to be my walking hiking buddie. We will make it thanks you. Hes eating my large kitchen and i have orange hot sauce everywhere. He eats the paint and anything he can get in his mouth. I can fix the kitchen but wow!!! He has tons of safe chew toys and more coming. He is learning to chew on them. He gets wild and hes not starving as he gets 5 meals a day because of my elderly dog. Hes potty trained, His barking is minimal. No teeth on my body snd jumping at a minimal. You are training me to train him correctly. Thank you so much. Learning patience too!!!!😅
I wish you were in Pennsylvania! We have 2 young intact "bullies" (10 month Rottie and a 13 month pit) and we can't get a trainer to talk to us. I watch your videos but I really gotta buckle down and train them myself. Thank you for these videos ❤
I have a 14 mo old Beagle and a 4 mo old lab/pit. They both pulled on the leash for walks but the beagle much more so. I started training them separately with your method 3 days ago. After 3 sessions the lab/pit pup is an ace walking loose-leash and always aware of my starting and stopping and sitting when I stop. BUT the beagle is strong-willed and has been allowed to pull to smell what she wants as long as she wants where she wants on a retractable leash until now. She focused on her own mission on walks and paid absolutely NO attention to us. Because the pup picked it up so quickly I was about to give up on the beagle till I saw this video. You helped me realize she just needed more consistent sessions to get her re-programmed. They are both outside dogs. The first day the beagle didn't even earn her way out of the gate. The second day she made it to calming ovals but no further. This morning (5th session) she made it to the road and walked loose-leash for the first time back and forth in front of our house. PROGRESS!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have hope for this beagle but I do have one question. How do you advise introducing them to walk TOGETHER again?
Thank GOD I found your video!! We have a very strong Great Dane that no amount of nicely softy treats and rewards training is working to stop him pulling - and obviously he needs to learn to behave on a lead for when he’s full size 😩 putting this into practise first thing tomorrow!!! 🤞🏽
😀 goodness! I'm now addicted to your videos ever since I watched your vid on how to stop a dog form jumping on you. I tried your method on my Rotty who's a bad jumper and it worked within minutes. Now i'm gonna try this too and hope for the best. Thanks so much.
This guy is great. All these other purely positive reinforcement people got me second guessing my initial intuition. His methods are just more natural.
i walked my dog's leash today because she wouldn't drop the leash, it did take her fun away, happy to see you used this trick, guess that wasn't a crazy method, thanks for the videos !
I loooooved this video, thank u so much for showing this crazy puppy and how to approach a crazy puppy like this one. hopefully this method will help a lot.
he's just an energetic lil rascal who has never been required to ACTUALLY focus on a human other than when he wants to lol. he has always done what he wants.
I use your method 2 mornings ago and this guy pulled up in a truck and said " I don't like the way your walking your dog" I told him that's okay and he said no and pulled a gun on me... I like your methods they work ... This happened in Palm springs CA
Dang!! Idiots. I would keep trying at home in the back yard so that In public it isn’t as bad. But yea I got stares too. Now I have a lovely walking buddy. Gonna post a video today!!
Wow! Some really crazy people out there! Glad you're okay! I hope they run his plates & catch him before he hurts someone. Hey, if @🕳️'s hone in on you, you must be doing something right! Keep up the good work!Lol.
What I found out about myself after watching your videos, I am not a purely positive person despite being a single childless woman. 😄 Those ones that always say ,"You have to start from DAY 1." which makes me feel hopeless although I only have a dachshund and not some big dog. And I definitely can not take 2 weeks off work to stay with my puppy. You were the 1st one who explained the stages, it gave me hope.
I’ve had the same issue. Not always but when my dog sees some other dogs she will pull and choke herself. And sometimes when I have tried to correct her I have accidentally made her cough then feel awful. My trainer told me to use a martingale collar but I think I will just get a normal collar.
@ get a gentle leader harness! Trust me it’s a game changer for pulling. It’s the only thing that gives me some control over my dog. It will deter them from pulling without hurting them like a choke collar or prong collar.
I'd love to see you handle a small dog with tons of energy like mine. I got a 7 month old papillon-chi mix with insane energy levels. We have to exercise him before we do anything, even go on walks. Leash walking and leave it are our biggest challenges. He will stay but when released he goes nuts ripping up grass and picking up stuff off the floor.
Hey Joel - I’m starting to work this method on my 1.5yr old Aussie mix. The difference is mine barks and play bows in frustration/protest (and maybe also confusion?). She’s extremely friendly and happy-go-lucky so I think she turns everything into a game when she doesn’t know what else to do. It feels wildly manipulative for a pup to do to me tbh 😂😂😂 but a less emotional part of me knows she’s just working different strategies. She’s scary smart and very used to solving her own problems. I don’t really know how or when (or if) to correct the barking while I’m also correcting the pulling/excitement, so it all just turns into a big ol correction-fest and feels too frantic for her to actually be learning anything. (She can walk beautifully on leash when there’s no exciting distractions btw). I’ve tried desensitization from a distance but we never progress to getting closer over time. The gentle leader is great but she’s too smart and just about any s l o w transition to a flat collar and shes back to wild. Are we just stuck with a gentle leader forever?
Sounds like you've got yourself a CaneEinstein! 🎓 Have you done Mr. Beckman's system for just standing there when you first walk out your door, letting the dog just take it all in? Followed by his Calming Ovals? Really helps settle a dog nicely.
@@28951SBDMDK lol caneinstein 😂 yeah, she’s doing really well and learning fast, until a neighbor or dog or something exciting comes around and I don’t allow her to engage/play/meet/fixate. I know the Aussie breed is really attracted to movement and she’s SO. PUMPED. BY. LIFE. in general that I think her underlying issue is just not knowing how to truly relax outside the home. We’re working on that too but the progress is undetectable to the human eye lmaooo
one thing ive seen he does is just pretend like they kind of did what you asked so they follow you back to where you started (then you dont treat) and start again. Also other trainers say as soon as they start changing energy you give your no command like his a lound "hey: and say "this way" and just go the opposite direction from the place thats changing their energy.
@@SkittleBombs yes that's def helpful! but that's where we're stuck :( I don't see progress...meaning, we always have to turn and maintain distance and we haven't been able to successfully breech a distance threshold. Now that i'm working through this troubleshooting comment thread with you all, i'm wondering if his tactic of pure desensitization and impulse control might be more practical as a first step the solution than just the leash pop and distance? I don't see a ton of videos on that specifically, but will poke around additional YT trainers with similar styles as well!
One thing to remember is the absolutely monstrous amount of energy herding dogs have. You may need to wear her out somehow before the walk to calm her down. Growing up, I had to play fetch with my blue heeler till my arm nearly fell off before I could even consider walking him.
I had a dog once and I trained it to eat the food off the floor whenever I dropped something. She was so adorable. But this guys training is much more advanced. I bet his dog can do lots of things.
Great video. How do you deal with a dog who bites the leash and tugs it like a game of tug? I've tried redirecting, grabbing right up to the collar, drop it, sit etc and none have worked. Bringing out a treat sometimes works but I don't want him thinking that behavior will earn him a treat.
thanks alot for this video, I watched so many "off leash" and still not enough to get it right😅. I love all details of this video, including his bad behavior at very beginning which tells me my dog is not the only one... Also it's surprised me your training is 8 min only with small improvement. It's been kept mentioning but I only get it from this video.
I agree with you now, I didn't before thinking the corections are too harsh, but I did it with my 3 years old lab very gently cause his very fearfull and its working, he acctually walking loose leash like never before with treats only, thank you 👏
Fighting like a fish on a line, I love it! Then you ‘reel’ him back in. Occasionally we see dog stop to think, ‘Hmmm, maybe I need to do something different. This is not working out the usual way . . . ‘ 🤔🤔🤔
These are the sort of dogs we need to see..the more difficult ones. So needed that nightingale trick with the collar my dog has got free and it’s scary.
@@jillianelise5 They are awesome, specially with good socialization. I'm struggling with mine because she wants to play with every dog, and she plays rough. But overall it's and excepcional breed.
@@gilohi a big dog like that with high energy can cause trouble, especially for leash walking. My lab isn't huge but when he gets excited it's like he's been injected with super serum😂😂😂 i want to take him on more walks but i dread it since i know he'll be insane. I have to start using these tips and not letting him go ANYWHERE until he's calm. It takes the patience of a saint!!
This looks all too familiar. Yep when you have a 125 lb pup things can be a bit tough. And not only mentally but physically exhausting. Thank you for showing us the reality side of training. It definitely requires patience and persistance. Especially for large dogs. I know any dog size is trainable however if you have a huge pup it's important to get a handle on training early on.
Hi Joel, excellent video, actually seeing an “out of control dog” and how to handle this type of situation question, what do you do if you only have the arm power and no leg power to walk on the leash? Do you do the same thing with the arm power as though you were walking up the leash? Keep up the good work.
His markings are beautiful! It seems like a lot of people are afraid to put a collar on so that it’s snug enough. I think they’re afraid of constricting air flow to the point that their dog can easily slip his head out of the collar.
I have 2 dogs and I've had some success with this method when walking them on their own however every time I walk them together they quickly regress and pull the lead like crazy. I'd like to see a clip on how you might manage 2 dogs or how the dynamic changes.
Ok. That was so great. Seeing a training session where it’s obvious that training takes time! So tired of seeing vids by people who edit and edit and make it look like if you don’t get your dog trained in 3 corrections or less you’re doing it wrong. This is exactly my boy dog. His attention is everywhere (not on me). He’s a puppy. Wants to go where he wants to go. I can do exactly the same training with my girl, same age, and she just gets it. But my boy? He’s a lot more willful. Not mean. Not aggressive. Just willful. And he needs work JUST LIKE this session. He gets a correction, he often just keeps trying to go where he wants to go. I just keep repeating until I wear him down. He starts to finally get it. We do it again the next day. I just have to work to not lose my patience. Because he is frustrating. So my keeping calm needs work too. And when I lose patience, it’s not with him, but with myself. And it happens because I feel like I’m failing. Must be doing something wrong because it didn’t work immediately. This video helps me understand that sometimes this just takes time. It’ll take however long it’s going to take. Just stick with it. So thank you so much for showing what training is like in the real world! You’re awesome!
We are sailin the same boat!! The frustration built up is always with myself . We just have to keep at it. I hope your boy turned out well and learned :) my 7 month girl is an energizer bunny 😂
Love your videos! This one especially was helpful for my granddaughter training her 5 month old pit bull pup, as he’s doing it all. Any suggestions on how to keep him from grabbing his leash and trying to play tug of war? Thank you for your videos.
This dog is perfect to show how to use your method on the crazies. Can you also do one of transitioning the same dog from your facility to the road for loose leash walking? That's the problem I have. I am unable to transition my dog from my long driveway to a public place. Also I really like seeing how he's the one who is resisting and tiring himself out while you're just remaining calm.
We need shirts that say "I'll do this all day". Keep up you videos, they're helping a lot of people!
They’re coming!
I can't wait! I will buy one
Lol, I’ve been saying that to my dog.
😂🙏🏼 YES!!!
Can’t wait for the merch!!! 🔥

this is the kind of video to do even more of... real work with unstaged dogs to show how a pro approaches all levels of dog behavior. thanks
I am so glad I dug up this video. I have a 7 month old boxer/American pitbull terrier rescue pup who is 53lbs of solid pulling machine.

I appreciate that you discuss expectations being different for young, crazy pups vs. more mature dogs.

I believe you are the best trainer I have watched👍Now I am able to enjoy my dog an not look like a dummy...I am on a arm base,all the dogs here are so obedient.Now I fit right in.I am so proud of my Dobie.You saved us an made my life happy!!!Still watching. Sincerely grateful Deborah and Trooper.
I just tried your method on my 2 dogs. It works. They kept trying to pull but not nearly as often. For the first time I have hope that I can actually walk my dogs and enjoy it. This is awesome for them too. Thank you!!! Your amazing.
This is the second video I’ve watch learning how to correct the sort of leash reactivity behaviors with dogs and it’s very helpful because you were doing it in real time. Hello my name is Myranda, I have made previous comments on your videos I am the one who is currently living with my uncle and he has the 10 dogs and I am learning how to properly train my new dog and then eventually get to train all of his six year old husky malamute mixes that are completely untrained. Thanks so much for your channel.
Thank you for the great training! It seems like every video is something my young dog does. I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos.
This is a good video thank you very much. Ive got a two year old dog that pulls a ton, nose in the grass etc and Ive been trying to train her not to pull… this correction helped a lot, although she just kept pulling every ten feet, but when the leash got tight i did your correction and she responded really well… so now i just need her to stop leading bc it tires her out so much even on a 20 minute walk. Either way, great lesson for a rookie dog owner. Thank you
Your Brass Tax approach in these puppy videos is amazing.
This is the video I needed to see!
Thank you so much for breaking it down and showing us step by step!!
You have helped me and my two 6 month old rescue more than you know!
I am so grateful, truly!
Thank you! Watching you work with this dog showed that with patience and consistency, most dogs will eventually become easier to handle. I especially appreciate when you say, "Was this perfect?" Followed by not totally, but in due time a form of it is achievable ;-)
This lengend uploaded this video just a day before I bought a 9 month old pitbull of d craigslist. He has exact problem with the leash full of energy and running around everywhere pulling crazy during the walks. After doing this correction last 2 days in 4 walks, He seems to do much better now. This same key word "ah ah" during pull also helped me out with his harsh mouthing during the play. Thanks a lot. I never thought my first pet would be a wanna be dominant and energytic Pitbull puppy lol.
Thanks to you, I’ve actually been able to loose leash walk my dog ❤️ I couldn’t do that before and I was frustrated with her constant pulling. Now we actually enjoy walks! Thank you!!!!
This is such a realistic training video and that I appreciate. I just recently started training my cousin's 4 year old yellow lab and when I started out, made the mistake of focusing on training videos that made unrealistic claims. You know, the ones where the handler claims to be able to fix ANY dog in 15 minutes. Well, after days and then weeks of work, this dog was nowhere near "leash trained". I began getting frustrated which then translated to him, as he was picking up on my on my emotions. Now, more than two months later, we're still working, but steadily making improvements. He sits each and every time the leash is about to go on, and also comes and sits whenever we're on a walk and I pause to regain his attention. He's still wanting to pull, but nothing like before. Now, it's mainly when he spots a deer or catches a scent that he's determined to follow. Like you said, the leash means nothing to this dog, but he's beginning to respect it more each day. Patience and perseverance are winning.
Thank you for this video. This is how my 4 month old puppy is responding to loose leash training. She’s growing fast so I’m trying to get results before she gets so much stronger.
4 months is a bit young for this type of correction per Beckman.
Joel ... YES ... treats for CALMNESS... just what I want to reinforce ... many, many thanks!
Yes more crazy dogs! We have one who’s pushing his odds. Lol
@@shannondavidson1886 wow
@@lillieberger2883 what shocked to hear the truth?
So useful to see how you work with an inattentive dog that is also sorta clever about avoiding you putting a hand on his collar.
Yes, Joel flashing his hands around the dog's face to desensitize dog to when you will eventually want to be able to access his collar without him always dodging! nice
Love your training methods. I watch your videos 2-3 x a day. Some over and over to drill it into my head, and get the timing correct.
I've watched every dog trainer on UA-cam. Beckman is the only one I watch now. He does not edit, cut, or use already-trained dogs. He bakes from scratch and lets us see the entire process, even the frustration.
I really liked the fact that u r using a normal collar not some pokey prong collar i have a 4 month old golden retriever puppy and he is a crazy leash puller, with your method i can already see the progress on day one.....thanks for the video this helped a lot
Great video . I have a bulldog with the same mindset. I'm glad you illustrated it takes time. Thought I was doing it wrong.
this was exactly my dog not but 2 months ago... the only thing that worked was the Beckman Method. Can't thank you enough, Joel!
This video I found has been a lifesaver! I’m 50 with a 28kg strong 7 month old puppy who is just like this puppy! I’ve tried every positive reinforcement technique with no success he is crazy on the walk! I’m trying this today- the only thing is he gets frustrated with correction on the walk then starts lunging at me and biting the leash near my hand and won’t let go- not sure how to deal with this!
I’m starting to see this same reaction with my 7 month old
Curious to see, two dogs walking together. Mine do good one on one. Obey, stay close. Do well at ignoring other barking dogs. However together, they go full blown bucking bronco on me. (One is 10yrs old and little, the other is 1.5yrs old, medium in size) Currently when I walk them, they are on separate leashes. I used to be able to train dogs to safely and obediently -walk off leash. I had a stroke from a wicked migraine and have lost the ability to recall the lessons. I know consistent repetition and taking the time, is crucial. These videos really do work and help out beyond words! Tysvm🎉
You're very gentle with this very cute dog! Very good tips.
You are the BEST!!!!! I LOVE that u show the actual struggle!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗Thank you for all the encouragement!!
I have a English Mastiff. And got him back after the divorce quite unruly. A big no-no for such a large dog. I’m so glad I came across a few of your videos. The prep before leaving the house is paramount. The pull back before outside peeing builds into acceptable leash behavior on the walk. You are the only UA-camr who delivers from just watching your videos. Thanks 🙏🏿
We got to see a dog be hard headed and really continue to try to ignore the leash, so instructive, watched every second of this. "I said his name, he said no, and it's happening," no meanness; instead, clarity, determination and patience.
I live in Fl so cant come to you. Your videos are helping me so much. I have 6 month old Australian Shepherd. Im a strong fit 74 year old woman. Hes a 40 pound head strong and body strong dog. Hes pulled me over on a walk over a tiny pomeranian. 😂 i thought a few tries with your method would help. Wrong but thanks to you being real, i havent killed him yet. Im not a patient person but im learning from you. I want this dog to be my walking hiking buddie. We will make it thanks you. Hes eating my large kitchen and i have orange hot sauce everywhere. He eats the paint and anything he can get in his mouth. I can fix the kitchen but wow!!! He has tons of safe chew toys and more coming. He is learning to chew on them. He gets wild and hes not starving as he gets 5 meals a day because of my elderly dog. Hes potty trained, His barking is minimal. No teeth on my body snd jumping at a minimal. You are training me to train him correctly. Thank you so much. Learning patience too!!!!😅
I wish you were in Pennsylvania! We have 2 young intact "bullies" (10 month Rottie and a 13 month pit) and we can't get a trainer to talk to us. I watch your videos but I really gotta buckle down and train them myself. Thank you for these videos ❤
I have a 14 mo old Beagle and a 4 mo old lab/pit. They both pulled on the leash for walks but the beagle much more so. I started training them separately with your method 3 days ago. After 3 sessions the lab/pit pup is an ace walking loose-leash and always aware of my starting and stopping and sitting when I stop. BUT the beagle is strong-willed and has been allowed to pull to smell what she wants as long as she wants where she wants on a retractable leash until now. She focused on her own mission on walks and paid absolutely NO attention to us.
Because the pup picked it up so quickly I was about to give up on the beagle till I saw this video. You helped me realize she just needed more consistent sessions to get her re-programmed. They are both outside dogs. The first day the beagle didn't even earn her way out of the gate. The second day she made it to calming ovals but no further. This morning (5th session) she made it to the road and walked loose-leash for the first time back and forth in front of our house. PROGRESS!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have hope for this beagle but I do have one question. How do you advise introducing them to walk TOGETHER again?
Thank GOD I found your video!! We have a very strong Great Dane that no amount of nicely softy treats and rewards training is working to stop him pulling - and obviously he needs to learn to behave on a lead for when he’s full size 😩 putting this into practise first thing tomorrow!!! 🤞🏽
😀 goodness! I'm now addicted to your videos ever since I watched your vid on how to stop a dog form jumping on you. I tried your method on my Rotty who's a bad jumper and it worked within minutes. Now i'm gonna try this too and hope for the best. Thanks so much.
This guy is great. All these other purely positive reinforcement people got me second guessing my initial intuition. His methods are just more natural.
I just love the way prince prances.. he’s such an amazing boy
Thanx for this video. This is just what I needed. I have a boxer dog that drives me crazy when going for a walk. Will start applying this.
i walked my dog's leash today because she wouldn't drop the leash, it did take her fun away, happy to see you used this trick, guess that wasn't a crazy method, thanks for the videos !
Prince was like damn I gotta gtfo
Definitely will be first in line for the “I’ll do this all day” Merch!
I loooooved this video, thank u so much for showing this crazy puppy and how to approach a crazy puppy like this one. hopefully this method will help a lot.
he's just an energetic lil rascal who has never been required to ACTUALLY focus on a human other than when he wants to lol. he has always done what he wants.
I use your method 2 mornings ago and this guy pulled up in a truck and said " I don't like the way your walking your dog" I told him that's okay and he said no and pulled a gun on me...
I like your methods they work ...
This happened in Palm springs CA
Hope you got his plate number
dont leave yours at home nate
I didn't leave it at home , he had the draw on me and I did get his plate
Dang!! Idiots. I would keep trying at home in the back yard so that In public it isn’t as bad. But yea I got stares too. Now I have a lovely walking buddy. Gonna post a video today!!
Wow! Some really crazy people out there! Glad you're okay! I hope they run his plates & catch him before he hurts someone. Hey, if @🕳️'s hone in on you, you must be doing something right! Keep up the good work!Lol.

The dog looks right into the camera, clearly taken aback when Joel calls him crazy!
What I found out about myself after watching your videos, I am not a purely positive person despite being a single childless woman. 😄
Those ones that always say ,"You have to start from DAY 1." which makes me feel hopeless although I only have a dachshund and not some big dog. And I definitely can not take 2 weeks off work to stay with my puppy.
You were the 1st one who explained the stages, it gave me hope.
Thank you for making this video. You are a life saver! let me try this methos with my 7 month lab puppy
This is the video I’ve been waiting on! My 14 week old Saint Bernard pulls so hard on the leash he chokes himself!
I’ve had the same issue. Not always but when my dog sees some other dogs she will pull and choke herself. And sometimes when I have tried to correct her I have accidentally made her cough then feel awful. My trainer told me to use a martingale collar but I think I will just get a normal collar.
@ get a gentle leader harness! Trust me it’s a game changer for pulling. It’s the only thing that gives me some control over my dog. It will deter them from pulling without hurting them like a choke collar or prong collar.
I'd love to see you handle a small dog with tons of energy like mine. I got a 7 month old papillon-chi mix with insane energy levels. We have to exercise him before we do anything, even go on walks. Leash walking and leave it are our biggest challenges. He will stay but when released he goes nuts ripping up grass and picking up stuff off the floor.
Now THAT is the type of leash reactivity I’ve been waiting to see.
Hey Joel - I’m starting to work this method on my 1.5yr old Aussie mix. The difference is mine barks and play bows in frustration/protest (and maybe also confusion?). She’s extremely friendly and happy-go-lucky so I think she turns everything into a game when she doesn’t know what else to do. It feels wildly manipulative for a pup to do to me tbh 😂😂😂 but a less emotional part of me knows she’s just working different strategies. She’s scary smart and very used to solving her own problems. I don’t really know how or when (or if) to correct the barking while I’m also correcting the pulling/excitement, so it all just turns into a big ol correction-fest and feels too frantic for her to actually be learning anything. (She can walk beautifully on leash when there’s no exciting distractions btw). I’ve tried desensitization from a distance but we never progress to getting closer over time. The gentle leader is great but she’s too smart and just about any s l o w transition to a flat collar and shes back to wild. Are we just stuck with a gentle leader forever?
Sounds like you've got yourself a CaneEinstein! 🎓 Have you done Mr. Beckman's system for just standing there when you first walk out your door, letting the dog just take it all in? Followed by his Calming Ovals? Really helps settle a dog nicely.
@@28951SBDMDK lol caneinstein 😂 yeah, she’s doing really well and learning fast, until a neighbor or dog or something exciting comes around and I don’t allow her to engage/play/meet/fixate. I know the Aussie breed is really attracted to movement and she’s SO. PUMPED. BY. LIFE. in general that I think her underlying issue is just not knowing how to truly relax outside the home. We’re working on that too but the progress is undetectable to the human eye lmaooo
one thing ive seen he does is just pretend like they kind of did what you asked so they follow you back to where you started (then you dont treat) and start again. Also other trainers say as soon as they start changing energy you give your no command like his a lound "hey: and say "this way" and just go the opposite direction from the place thats changing their energy.
@@SkittleBombs yes that's def helpful! but that's where we're stuck :( I don't see progress...meaning, we always have to turn and maintain distance and we haven't been able to successfully breech a distance threshold. Now that i'm working through this troubleshooting comment thread with you all, i'm wondering if his tactic of pure desensitization and impulse control might be more practical as a first step the solution than just the leash pop and distance? I don't see a ton of videos on that specifically, but will poke around additional YT trainers with similar styles as well!
One thing to remember is the absolutely monstrous amount of energy herding dogs have. You may need to wear her out somehow before the walk to calm her down. Growing up, I had to play fetch with my blue heeler till my arm nearly fell off before I could even consider walking him.
I had a dog once and I trained it to eat the food off the floor whenever I dropped something. She was so adorable. But this guys training is much more advanced. I bet his dog can do lots of things.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO JOEL ! THIS is exactly how my dog/ puppy behaves...
True leadership. I hope my dog meets you one day!
If this is what you call wild wait till you see my Crazy Cleo. She's insane! Thank you so much for these videos.
Great video. How do you deal with a dog who bites the leash and tugs it like a game of tug? I've tried redirecting, grabbing right up to the collar, drop it, sit etc and none have worked. Bringing out a treat sometimes works but I don't want him thinking that behavior will earn him a treat.
thanks alot for this video, I watched so many "off leash" and still not enough to get it right😅. I love all details of this video, including his bad behavior at very beginning which tells me my dog is not the only one... Also it's surprised me your training is 8 min only with small improvement. It's been kept mentioning but I only get it from this video.
This is what i want to see! Great job🙏
I agree with you now, I didn't before thinking the corections are too harsh, but I did it with my 3 years old lab very gently cause his very fearfull and its working, he acctually walking loose leash like never before with treats only, thank you 👏
My dog acts just like this! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the process. You gave me great ideas. Thank you!
Fighting like a fish on a line, I love it! Then you ‘reel’ him back in. Occasionally we see dog stop to think, ‘Hmmm, maybe I need to do something different. This is not working out the usual way . . . ‘ 🤔🤔🤔
I'll do this all day. Pretty sure my dog thinks that's a command. Thank you for the amazing videos and podcast now
I really can't wait for them "I can do this all day" shirts! 😂
His spots are awesome looking!!!
cool part was, that one about not letting him to licking hand when you grab collar from leash, that learn him to calm down with most primal behaviour
Great video , i am doing this every day with my dog . Is getting better but very slow . We need more video with this dog.
I’ve started telling my wild child rescue pittie that “I can do this all day”! 🤣
Loved this video....great to see dogs that take longer to get it ..
These are the sort of dogs we need to see..the more difficult ones. So needed that nightingale trick with the collar my dog has got free and it’s scary.
OMG Finally, that's is what my dog do. She stubborn as hell
My white lab has also mastered the "back up" method, now that he's 70+ pounds it's a lot more challenging 🤦♀️
@@jillianelise5 I feel you I have a Rottweiler 😥
@@gilohi I've always wanted a rottie!!!
@@jillianelise5 They are awesome, specially with good socialization. I'm struggling with mine because she wants to play with every dog, and she plays rough. But overall it's and excepcional breed.
@@gilohi a big dog like that with high energy can cause trouble, especially for leash walking. My lab isn't huge but when he gets excited it's like he's been injected with super serum😂😂😂 i want to take him on more walks but i dread it since i know he'll be insane. I have to start using these tips and not letting him go ANYWHERE until he's calm. It takes the patience of a saint!!
Tough dog, going onto a problem dog, good thing they found you. Would love to see a"year later"
This looks all too familiar. Yep when you have a 125 lb pup things can be a bit tough. And not only mentally but physically exhausting.
Thank you for showing us the reality side of training. It definitely requires patience and persistance. Especially for large dogs. I know any dog size is trainable however if you have a huge pup it's important to get a handle on training early on.
Joel, thank you for the good work. Any chance of showing us how training differs with primitive/hard to train dog breeds ?
Hi Joel, excellent video, actually seeing an “out of control dog” and how to handle this type of situation question, what do you do if you only have the arm power and no leg power to walk on the leash? Do you do the same thing with the arm power as though you were walking up the leash? Keep up the good work.
you make sone muscles for yourself first, then we start with the dog, xD. Cheers
You might try with a gentle leader. It’s much easier to turn a head then pull the body
His markings are beautiful! It seems like a lot of people are afraid to put a collar on so that it’s snug enough. I think they’re afraid of constricting air flow to the point that their dog can easily slip his head out of the collar.
I have 2 dogs and I've had some success with this method when walking them on their own however every time I walk them together they quickly regress and pull the lead like crazy. I'd like to see a clip on how you might manage 2 dogs or how the dynamic changes.
Yes thank you for this one, crazy 9 month shepsky gets crazy when sees other dogs
Ok. That was so great. Seeing a training session where it’s obvious that training takes time! So tired of seeing vids by people who edit and edit and make it look like if you don’t get your dog trained in 3 corrections or less you’re doing it wrong. This is exactly my boy dog. His attention is everywhere (not on me). He’s a puppy. Wants to go where he wants to go. I can do exactly the same training with my girl, same age, and she just gets it. But my boy? He’s a lot more willful. Not mean. Not aggressive. Just willful. And he needs work JUST LIKE this session. He gets a correction, he often just keeps trying to go where he wants to go. I just keep repeating until I wear him down. He starts to finally get it. We do it again the next day. I just have to work to not lose my patience. Because he is frustrating. So my keeping calm needs work too. And when I lose patience, it’s not with him, but with myself. And it happens because I feel like I’m failing. Must be doing something wrong because it didn’t work immediately. This video helps me understand that sometimes this just takes time. It’ll take however long it’s going to take. Just stick with it. So thank you so much for showing what training is like in the real world! You’re awesome!
We are sailin the same boat!! The frustration built up is always with myself . We just have to keep at it. I hope your boy turned out well and learned :) my 7 month girl is an energizer bunny 😂
Love your videos! This one especially was helpful for my granddaughter training her 5 month old pit bull pup, as he’s doing it all. Any suggestions on how to keep him from grabbing his leash and trying to play tug of war? Thank you for your videos.
This dog is perfect to show how to use your method on the crazies. Can you also do one of transitioning the same dog from your facility to the road for loose leash walking?
That's the problem I have. I am unable to transition my dog from my long driveway to a public place.
Also I really like seeing how he's the one who is resisting and tiring himself out while you're just remaining calm.
