please more puppy videos my staff is full of energy mental and physical. Can you make a video on how to calm down a overly excited dog after player / walking. if this is possible. i would be forever greatful.
At least 2 hours a day of hard exercise (running, fetching, etc), plus daily walks & leash work. Puppies need to be drained of energy, not just given a short play or walk session.
Try keeping a leash/collar on during play sessions and start incorporating speratic, short obedience sessions lasting 5-30 sec. For young puppies, I'd recommend mainly working on responsiveness to their name utilizing a higher value food reward. For a bit older pups, make them actually think by alternating between 3+ commands and be sure these aren't given in the same order, randomness is key. After play, see if they need to go to the bathroom - going to a separate area can sometimes help signal playtime is over. Next, try doing a positive crate session with a longer lasting treat (ex: filled frozen Kong toys). For high energy older dogs, you can switch from using a crate to doing a "climb", "bed", "place" or (whatever you want to call it).
My goodness after watching this I was way to hard on my 18 week puppy and wondering why the walks were frustrating. I did the training in this video and it was WORLDS better!! I stopped focusing on the destination of the walk and more on the loose leash and us sticking together. Did lots of circles in the driveway 😀
I understland you. I even had dog trainers advising me to just drag the dog on the leash if he was fighting the leash. I could not do this. It felt so much like abuse to me. When he fight the leash, what works better for me and my puppy, is to stop walking, pull a bit on the leash to give a loose leash and wait…… wait….. and wait until he calms down. He always does and goes further with me with much less fear.
Joel: “I wanna let her know I’m a place of treats.” *two seconds later* Also Joel: “My gosh. It’s the longest chewing of a treat I’ve ever seen. Maybe I’m not gonna give her treats cause that took way too long.” This guy is too funny. Thanks for the puppy videos. Keep them coming!
Subs ... Not funny ... training treats need to be a quick reward ... some dogs can make a meal out of one piece of kibble... you need to learn which treats are effective rewards.
@@JC-sf2qm Pup was getting used to a new treat - she's a smart girl and was giving it an investigate before crunching and swallowing. Once it received the Loopy seal of approval she was much quicker afterwards.
WOW!!! I tried this with my very strong 4 month old lab/pit mix and it’s WORKING!!! She needs constant reminders but that’s fine, I know she’s a puppy! I’m just happy she’s no longer threatening to pull my arm out of its socket! She’s even starting to respond to me when I call her away from stimuli. I’m floored. Thank you Joel!!!
Perfect timing for me to see this, my GSD just turned 4 months old. I've been following BDT since we got her, implementing each age-appropriate bit of training, and she's responding incredibly well. Easy, no drama, just mild corrections, consistency, and praise/treats. She's housebroken, no long nibbles, jumps, or licks.
Best method I've tried for puppy walking is go the opposite direction of the one they want. It makes them aware of what you are doing. Right out of the door if they go right you go left. Also, to get them to follow, get their attention, say "let's go" just start walking without looking back at them. The second you feel slack in the leash, turn, praise and then treat them.
@@equinoxproject2284 I am going to use LET'S GO with my 4 month old Golden Retriever... I like your idea about you feeling the loose leash and then turning back to praise/reward.
I agree that these puppy videos are great and has enabled me to lower my expectations of my 3 month old non-littermate boxers and enjoy this stage more. It would be helpful for those of us with two puppies to get some advice on how to get puppies to stop fighting/wrestling so much. When they are out of their crate together, they spend 90% of their time in vigorous (non-aggressive) fighting. They are oblivious to anything else going on around them. They feed off each other’s energy. On the other hand when they are out alone, they are very sweet calm puppies.
Your videos have helped me so much. I have a 2yo Boxer Mix and an 8mo Lab Mix. I have just started walking them together. The Boxer is awesome. The puppy pulls constantly and is all over the place. When the pup and I walk alone he does much better. I have been working with him for awhile on keeping the leash loose by pulling back on the leash everytime he tightens it up. Your video reminded me that he is still young and I need to be patient with him. Thank you for your amazing videos. Training a dog can be overwhelming. Without your videos I would have no clue. So thank you. Your training methods are the best I have seen on UA-cam.
ur method is so effective yet so simple. all u have to do is lay the foundation of "ur not walking anywhere unless youre walking WITH me" and boom, they figure it out fast.
This is exactly what I was looking for Joel. Thank you. I was getting so frustrated with the “look at me” then give a treat on walks. I found that my pup only learned the cycle of how to get a treat with no improvement at all in the pulling. The release of pressure as a reward is also the foundation of horse training.
Ok, Loopy is the cutest puppy on the planet, lol. Love your methods! They’re so effective! My Great Dane puppy is responding beautifully to everything I’ve been learning from you!
The loud sound you talked about that I use for my dogs when I am saying “I am serious, stop that right now” is a loud “Aaaaa!” sound and for mine it works.
Something I picked up on with my Shi tzu x poodle mix was the love for laying into the leash or harness. (I’m using a harness because my dog is susceptible to IVDD.) It’s amazing how much better she walks off leash than on. Constantly checking in with me and responding to commands so much faster. It’s like when she’s on her leash she feels like it doesn’t matter. I used the pop correction method until I was warned about it causing stress on her spine (incredibly long spine and short legs.) I decided since she is so small the imperfect leash training wasn’t as big of a deal to me as keeping her healthy. But she does really well all things considered
At what age do you switch to your other leash reactive method for correct pulling on the leash? Your videos are so helpful with our 5 month old puppy, thank you!!
I have taught my pup to come back, turn inward, and heel when he gets too far ahead and I stop walking. Which I then treat. Works pretty well and a good method for correcting pulling while staying fun and positive. Other things that worked for me was sometimes turning around unexpectedly, and asking my dog to "look at me" sometimes when he walks. I also typically take a long leash for him to do his thing when we are not walking. He knows the difference between the leashes because it changes his behavior immediately (he knows it is longer and he is allowed to go further away from me).
Darn it, I correct my puppies... They are so strong they pull hard, but the correction worked and they pulled less now and can walk loose leash most of the time.
This was great. Suggestions for a 6 yo dog that constantly stops on walks, opposite of leash pulling. She just started doing this in the past year - even at the beginning of a walk vs. stopping bc she doesn’t want to go in.
I've watched quite a few different dog training videos and I like these best. I like that he has different expectations for pups, doesn't make treats the end goal for the dogs, and I've had real success with his methods. Thank you for putting these out for us to learn.
Wish I would’ve found these videos when I first got my puppy. I watched another popular guy with the slip leash, it would constantly go back on his neck, and they say to keep it behind the jawline but it wouldn’t stay(so frustrating)and I never could figure that thing out my puppy would literally choke himself and constantly pull, he still pulls some but our walks are so much better thanks Joel please make more small breed puppy videos
Agree just a little knee to correct them but remind people that it has to be gently, but from my other post I pointed out you can hurt a dog if they run at you full speed and you put a knee up, thank you again for all the videos, I have learned a lot from your approach.
I used to do this same method on my puppy at 4.5 months when it was when I adopted him. It would take a lot to walk one block but he was doing pretty good until my dad started walking him and not correcting his pulls, frustrating when all the hard work just disintegrates. Now at 10 months I am using the leash walking correction methods.
The video made we feel so much better. My new puppy is not getting the leash very well. I guess i am expecting too much of him. I have two other well balanced dogs who seemed to have been really easy to leash train. came naturally to them. Thanks
Joel , thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 🌎. Your time making these videos gives people the education and skill set to not give up on their beautiful dogs. 💞
In this video, the puppy is motivated by treats outside the house. Mine is not. You can put a hand full of his favorite treats outside the house that he won’t even touch it. So i treat him with affection and love when he does good outside the house.
I watched your video on developmental goals for puppies between 2 and 18 months last night and it was extremely helpful, as have been other training videos you’ve done. Thank you. I’ve recommended these to other people. It’s been 30 years since I’ve had a puppy as my last 2 rescues were older, so at 70 I definitely need re-training! I need a well behaved dog at my age and my new girl is responding well.
My wife and I are in the same boat, i.e., first puppy (golden-doodle) in about 30 years. Other dogs the last 30 years have all been rescues or rehomes. Since it has been 9 months since you posted, how are things with your pup now?
Just love your training videos helped me so much with my 4 month old mini poople she is very smart i use a harness she just started jumping on me an biteing leash dont no what started this as few days ago she walked great on leash,feels like retraining again guess not jus for her me too haha
Wish you could use a more hyper puppy to showcase this technique. My malinois is 4 months old too and she will choke her to death if she wants to. I'll remain still and wait, sit down, and then get back to choking herself as soon as I start walking again. Especially if she knows where we're going. Lets say i'm on my way back to home and she knows our pathing, she'll pull really hard
Thanks for the puppy video….good reminder that they are babies but need the consistent training…not too harsh but consistent. My 3 month old Golden retriever goes from 100 mph to sound asleep…..not much in between. We are both learning from your videos. Thanks so much.
@@j.munday7913 this puppy takes after his husky dad! The mom is actually half poodle-half pitty. My cousin got two puppies from the same litter, and one of them looks more like a pit, and the other looks like pit poodle
@@allenrulz101 Mine takes after his husky parent too! So I can give you a few tips maybe that will help. 1. Huskies are smart. Like crazy smart, but they hate being told what to do. You have to be really in charge and let them know you're the boss or they won't listen to you. You don't need to be mean or angry, just very clear on who the boss is. 2. They will eat all sorts of things they aren't supposed to, so be prepared to really work on that. 3. Exercise the heck out of him. They need to run. I ended up getting a bike and a harness for mine. He will seriously run for a mile just pulling me behind him. It took him less than 5 minutes to figure out which side I wanted him on and how to avoid getting rolled over.
@@j.munday7913 thanks Jenny, I already see a lot of those things in Luca(the puppy’s name) it’s never a dull moment My Gf will tell him to sit, and he’ll do it, but sometimes if she tells him down right after, he’ll bark back at her and reluctantly do it haha
Very handy seeing this right now. We have a 14 week old cockapoo and she (Pickle) needs a little guidance as to how to get the best out of her walks. This will help greatly. At the moment she gets tangled up in the lead she sniffs the floor constantly and she is over interested in every leaf, bit of litter, in fact everything around. When we get her attention she responds well. But as you say in video she is still very young. When would be best age, week wise, to start training her more and expecting more from her in terms of attention and positive outcomes ? Love all your videos. Especially these puppy ones you do now. It's all helping support our efforts to help our puppy get the best from walks and play etc. In fact nearly any new behaviour that she (Pickle) comes up with has us checking out what Beckman says. Thanks.
Love watching your videos! This method for loose-leash has been working so well for my 4-month-old GSD! But, she will often just sit and refuse to walk (usually happens a few times at the start of our walk). I’ve just been waiting her out and trying to get her interested to get up. Eventually, she continues walking. Do you have a method for this?
awesome! The pull back into a loose leash is what I was missing! We stop until he sits and pays attention but I didn't know about the leash. 4 month beagle.
I have 2 french bulldog puppies and my sciatica was not letting me treat and walk them so I taught my 8 and 6 year old how to loose leash walk the dogs in the house. They were much closer to the ground. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Once the puppies got the hang of it I took over. The 8 year old still helps. There are 2 puppies after all. ☺
That's the dog I have and same age. I was questioning using the loose leash method. Glad you made it. I'll be more patient outside. She gets really stimulated. So it seemed to much. I'll work on it
Thank you so much for all your poppy videos! 😊 I love them!! We are bringing home a male Weimaraner poppy in about a month and your techniques will help a lot!!
Thanks for this video. I have a 4month old and it helped tremendously as I deal with both of these issues. We just started walking out and about this week and the leash tips are already showing great results.
I have a black standard poodle that is somewhere between 1y/1y and 2 months, and he looks so much like this puppy. I recently adopted him from a family with a little child, a wife that didn't wanted it, and a husband who loved him but wasn't at home to dedicate any time at all. You can imagine how well "educated" my dog was. So I received a dog that wights 10 kilograms, wearing a choke collar because he wouldn't stop pulling. 10 kilograms, and a freaking choke collar/leash. He was a disaster: wouldn't stop pulling, barely socialized at all (didn't have a walk until he was 6 months old), freaking out every time he saw another dog while being on the leash, yet acting not interested in playing or running when being loose in the dogs park. He still doesn't know how to play with other dogs, if that tells you something about how sad his previous life was. I've been watching this channel for the past month and he's made HUGE improvement. Walks are almost perfect now, he's starting to get that I won't allow him going nuts every time he sees a dog, and I keep learning how to help our walks being so much better. Yesterday I learned the flip-butt move, and I applied today 😊 Poodles are really smart, I hadn't noticed that he was doing the butt thing to me, exactly like you described: when getting corrected, he won't turn his head anymore, he'll go like "yeh yeh I heard you, now I'll just keep staring that dog until he's close enough to jump on him". So today I was like "nope, no sir. You're looking right into my face and you'll sit or I won't release you" Anyways, thank you. I truly believe in this process and I'm confident that I will be able to fully trust Kiwi wherever we go 🙏🥰
Absolutely LOVE this! Great timing, too - have just found out my time on a waiting list for a fantastically-bred black male Lab pup has been successful: 6 of the 13 born last night were black males (whoop!). I will be stepping up my BDT-watching even more now, that's for sure.
Thank you SO much!!! Your the best 😀 I will stop correcting as he 5 momths although think he was getting it and as he so big already I thought was ok. But I'll watch these and go by puppy training vids instead
Thank you for this! I appreciate the puppy videos so much. What about aggressive jumping with nipping? I’m struggling how to stop this behavior with my 5 month old pup. When I walk into him he retaliates with barking and more nipping. I’m at a loss.
I would love to see a video on this also! I have a 4 month blue heeler, and while I know nipping is in their DNA, I'm getting biting on the hand that breaks skin. Also, he is pretty good at loose leash walking until all of sudden sometimes he pulls to the end of the leash and runs circles around me thrashing and bites when I go to grab his collar.
@@christga100 Yes! I have holes in almost every cardigan I wear…😕😕😕 I have tried standing on the leash and it works to an extent so maybe I just have him trail a leash around in the house until he finally realizes I MEAN BUSINESS 🤣
@@christga100 I actually tried this yesterday and it worked..well kind of. My pup definitely hated being in the room with the door closed but he got his feelings hurt pretty bad so not sure that's the best course to take at this young age or not. He definitely took me seriously though! I do agree that most of the craziness is excitement but I also notice him doing it when I tell him to do something he doesn't want to do i.e. come inside if he wants to stay plopped on the yard. It's like he's talking back...little stinker. He's a boxer so he is most definitely a high-energy breed. I just hope the behavior stops over time. You've given me some hope that it will. Thank you!
@@christga100 You sound like you know boxers. They have to be glued to you 24/7 or else 😜 Happy you and your pup are learning and growing together. If I can get this one behavior under control with my guy, I’ll feel a ton better! Thanks again for all your feedback. Dog owners are the best!
I have a 4 month old husky mix... she pulls on the leash a LOT. She also loves chasing rabbits. Not sure if that's a breed issue but I hope your tips work with consistent practice!

Just got a Great Dane puppy 12 weeks old , he is really strong , pulls on a leash, but I fear if I don’t get him under control , love your videos ,
I wish I saw these videos when I got my puppy... awesome videos as always!!!!
You're right. I do have places to go.
My pup isn't that young anymore but my friend's new pup is. Shared fhe video with them and it's perfect! Thanks Joel.
Wish you could use a more hyper puppy to showcase this technique. My malinois is 4 months old too and she will choke her to death if she wants to. I'll remain still and wait, sit down, and then get back to choking herself as soon as I start walking again. Especially if she knows where we're going. Lets say i'm on my way back to home and she knows our pathing, she'll pull really hard
I’ll try
@@BDTraining you're the best
Thanks for the puppy video….good reminder that they are babies but need the consistent training…not too harsh but consistent. My 3 month old Golden retriever goes from 100 mph to sound asleep…..not much in between. We are both learning from your videos. Thanks so much.
Doodles rock!
Joel ... Thanks for the Puppy video ... just in time as I flying home with my 4 month old Golden Retriever next weekend.
I would like to learn how to do corrections with tiny dogs. With harnesses when they are too tiny for collars to be safe. Tiny, like 5 to 6 lbs.
This is great! More puppy videos please!
I’ve been helping take care of my GF’s 15week pitsky, and all your videos are super informative
Oh, you brave soul 😄 (I have one too) Does the puppy take after the husky parent or the pit parent?
@@j.munday7913 this puppy takes after his husky dad! The mom is actually half poodle-half pitty. My cousin got two puppies from the same litter, and one of them looks more like a pit, and the other looks like pit poodle
@@j.munday7913 how does yours look?
@@allenrulz101 Mine takes after his husky parent too! So I can give you a few tips maybe that will help.
1. Huskies are smart. Like crazy smart, but they hate being told what to do. You have to be really in charge and let them know you're the boss or they won't listen to you. You don't need to be mean or angry, just very clear on who the boss is.
2. They will eat all sorts of things they aren't supposed to, so be prepared to really work on that.
3. Exercise the heck out of him. They need to run. I ended up getting a bike and a harness for mine. He will seriously run for a mile just pulling me behind him. It took him less than 5 minutes to figure out which side I wanted him on and how to avoid getting rolled over.
@@j.munday7913 thanks Jenny, I already see a lot of those things in Luca(the puppy’s name) it’s never a dull moment
My Gf will tell him to sit, and he’ll do it, but sometimes if she tells him down right after, he’ll bark back at her and reluctantly do it haha
Very handy seeing this right now. We have a 14 week old cockapoo and she (Pickle) needs a little guidance as to how to get the best out of her walks. This will help greatly. At the moment she gets tangled up in the lead she sniffs the floor constantly and she is over interested in every leaf, bit of litter, in fact everything around.
When we get her attention she responds well. But as you say in video she is still very young. When would be best age, week wise, to start training her more and expecting more from her in terms of attention and positive outcomes ?
Love all your videos. Especially these puppy ones you do now. It's all helping support our efforts to help our puppy get the best from walks and play etc. In fact nearly any new behaviour that she (Pickle) comes up with has us checking out what Beckman says. Thanks.
Love watching your videos! This method for loose-leash has been working so well for my 4-month-old GSD!
But, she will often just sit and refuse to walk (usually happens a few times at the start of our walk). I’ve just been waiting her out and trying to get her interested to get up. Eventually, she continues walking. Do you have a method for this?
awesome! The pull back into a loose leash is what I was missing! We stop until he sits and pays attention but I didn't know about the leash. 4 month beagle.
Really liked the puppy video..
I have 2 french bulldog puppies and my sciatica was not letting me treat and walk them so I taught my 8 and 6 year old how to loose leash walk the dogs in the house. They were much closer to the ground. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Once the puppies got the hang of it I took over. The 8 year old still helps. There are 2 puppies after all. ☺
More puppy’s stuff please!
That's the dog I have and same age. I was questioning using the loose leash method. Glad you made it. I'll be more patient outside. She gets really stimulated. So it seemed to much. I'll work on it
Thank you so much for all your poppy videos! 😊 I love them!! We are bringing home a male Weimaraner poppy in about a month and your techniques will help a lot!!
Thanks!!!Perfect video, just what I was needing!
Thanks, I was waiting for a video about puppy walking from you
Thanks for this video. I have a 4month old and it helped tremendously as I deal with both of these issues. We just started walking out and about this week and the leash tips are already showing great results.
More! More puppies please!
The people have asked and Joel has delivered😁
Thanks Joe! I am getting a puppy next week!
Great information. Our Corso is 4 months old, very timely for us. Thanks.
it cracks me up to see the "thumbs down" how could you not like this video????
Maybe from people who think he's mean for not letting the puppy pull him around. XD
I have a black standard poodle that is somewhere between 1y/1y and 2 months, and he looks so much like this puppy.
I recently adopted him from a family with a little child, a wife that didn't wanted it, and a husband who loved him but wasn't at home to dedicate any time at all. You can imagine how well "educated" my dog was.
So I received a dog that wights 10 kilograms, wearing a choke collar because he wouldn't stop pulling. 10 kilograms, and a freaking choke collar/leash.
He was a disaster: wouldn't stop pulling, barely socialized at all (didn't have a walk until he was 6 months old), freaking out every time he saw another dog while being on the leash, yet acting not interested in playing or running when being loose in the dogs park. He still doesn't know how to play with other dogs, if that tells you something about how sad his previous life was.
I've been watching this channel for the past month and he's made HUGE improvement. Walks are almost perfect now, he's starting to get that I won't allow him going nuts every time he sees a dog, and I keep learning how to help our walks being so much better.
Yesterday I learned the flip-butt move, and I applied today 😊
Poodles are really smart, I hadn't noticed that he was doing the butt thing to me, exactly like you described: when getting corrected, he won't turn his head anymore, he'll go like "yeh yeh I heard you, now I'll just keep staring that dog until he's close enough to jump on him".
So today I was like "nope, no sir. You're looking right into my face and you'll sit or I won't release you"
Anyways, thank you. I truly believe in this process and I'm confident that I will be able to fully trust Kiwi wherever we go 🙏🥰
Absolutely LOVE this! Great timing, too - have just found out my time on a waiting list for a fantastically-bred black male Lab pup has been successful: 6 of the 13 born last night were black males (whoop!). I will be stepping up my BDT-watching even more now, that's for sure.
Thank you for this. I am looking to get a rescue and all this info helps.
Thank you SO much!!! Your the best 😀 I will stop correcting as he 5 momths although think he was getting it and as he so big already I thought was ok. But I'll watch these and go by puppy training vids instead
What do you do if the puppy does not respond to the clap? Please more puppy videos :)
Thank you for this! I appreciate the puppy videos
so much. What about aggressive jumping with nipping? I’m struggling how to stop this behavior with my 5 month old pup. When I walk into him he retaliates with barking and more nipping. I’m at a loss.
I would love to see a video on this also! I have a 4 month blue heeler, and while I know nipping is in their DNA, I'm getting biting on the hand that breaks skin. Also, he is pretty good at loose leash walking until all of sudden sometimes he pulls to the end of the leash and runs circles around me thrashing and bites when I go to grab his collar.
@@mixtapessss I feel you! I’m hoping it’s just normal puppy behavior but it’s still not appropriate and I can’t figure out how to stop it 😞
@@christga100 Yes! I have holes in almost every cardigan I wear…😕😕😕 I have tried standing on the leash and it works to an extent so maybe I just have him trail a leash around in the house until he finally realizes I MEAN BUSINESS 🤣
@@christga100 I actually tried this yesterday and it worked..well kind of. My pup definitely hated being in the room with the door closed but he got his feelings hurt pretty bad so not sure that's the best course to take at this young age or not. He definitely took me seriously though!
I do agree that most of the craziness is excitement but I also notice him doing it when I tell him to do something he doesn't want to do i.e. come inside if he wants to stay plopped on the yard. It's like he's talking back...little stinker. He's a boxer so he is most definitely a high-energy breed. I just hope the behavior stops over time. You've given me some hope that it will. Thank you!
@@christga100 You sound like you know boxers. They have to be glued to you 24/7 or else 😜 Happy you and your pup are learning and growing together. If I can get this one behavior under control with my guy, I’ll feel a ton better! Thanks again for all your feedback. Dog owners are the best!
MORE PUPPY VIDEOS PLEASE!! P.S You’re amazing at what you do
Great information! Thanks for sharing 😊
She's adorableeeee!
I have a 4 month old husky mix... she pulls on the leash a LOT. She also loves chasing rabbits. Not sure if that's a breed issue but I hope your tips work with consistent practice!
Yea huskies tend to have a high prey drive
Awesome video. Thank you.
Any suggestions for an 8-9 week old puppy? And is a regular collar used? When do you start on a gentle leader?
