@@kaikart123 sry but that is so delusional, In the middle of a fight or flight situation VERY few dogs are still responsive and you wont get anywhere near that on an average dog with just basic training. Yeah sure there are some teadybears out there that do even with no special training what so ever but those are rare! Of course pre figth they all should be responsive 100% otherwise you shoundt be allowed to unleash them IMO
@@proxis9980 If you don’t understand That certain breeds Have a Certain response when flipping the fight or flight Do some research I know pitbulls They flip a switch and it’s kill If the dog was allowed to get to the point like that You failed to watch your dog and be a Responsible owner. Honestly the only thing Unrealistic is that Dogs have Pre-fights HAAAAA They Don’t have pre fights when they are snarling or chasing each other unless it’s clearly play It’s fighting.
@@kaikart123 most people's dogs don't have recall that strong tho fs! Prince is def impressive. Ik my dogs' recall gets attention at parks bc its good. I suspect not as strong as prince bc I bet prince'll call off anything. and honestly ive been pretty proud of this bc tht recall was a lot of work :0 not complex but requiring long and consistent effort with a lot of imperfections in his adolescence
Amen to that! He's a fantastic credit to this trainer. While "novel", this makes complete sense to me - sometimes, people just need to get their ass whooped before they understand their place. Dogs are no different.
@@Maya47745 Ya now that you mention it, they do seem to have very quick decisions making skills. This girl I went to school with had (I think they're called) "a red nosed Domberman" and she looked so intimidating. She was very nice but the way she carried herself (super confident) and alert let everyone know "she ment business." Very cool dogs 😎🐕
We had a French Bulldog in daycare who was just like Francis. His name was JJ and he would launch himself at other dogs’ faces. He played SO rough and he would fixate on one particular dog and just pester them endlessly. It got to the point where a dog turned on him like Prince did, didn’t hurt him, but just shocked his little brain into realizing that his behavior was unacceptable. He was much much better after that incident lol
Its like its finally all clicks in their heads, "this is what I've been doing to others?" "wow" "I don't like that one bit..." LOL Great job to Prince for having the control to handle it perfectly!
The less dogs interact with dogs and spend their time only around humans, the more they think they are humans. This dog is deluded into thinking he is much more than he really is because the humans around him humor him. There was a sudden realization that he can actually fit inside Prince's mouth. Real life has a pecking order. You can figure it out yourself or have it explained to you. If only more humans had the self control that Prince does.
I noticed during the moment that Prince really got onto him, Prince never actually bit him. Prince grabbed the frenchie’s collar, so he never hurt the little guy, just scared him lol. The self control of a dog like prince is admirable and amazing, your training videos are awesome and I really enjoy watching them! Keep it up!
Yes, in just about every video with prince, you see he either just nips at the collar/neck, or will put the side of his mouth along them and bite at just the fur. It drives home that they can't do that, whilst also not being ACTUALLY aggressive. Prince is awesome :D
You could even see Prince showed a little teeth as a “final warning” and the little guy still nipped at his face. So he got the correction he deserved. Great job Prince and Joel!
@@sivanhedoesstuff i tried deciphering their comment and I've come to the conclusion they meant "i will bring my rott to see prince bc they need correcting"
@@irionuchiha3823 Um what? There is no deciphering needed lmao. He commented literally what he saw in the video lmao. So idk what you're on about "comment needs to be deciphered"
The dog got humbled by Prince but my god the self-control Prince has to disengage immediately on your call is phenomenal. This is hands down one of the best dog training videos I've ever seen.
Prince was working. Not stressed about it, just his job. Working cattle dogs look mean biting a bull on the nose or leg, yet call away becuse they are just working, not fighting.
I've lived with Dobermans for over 40 years. Every time I watch Prince, I'm blown away at how he has the PERFECT Doberman temperament. The way he handles his Alpha position is a thing of beauty in dogs. He's a just Alpha male in fairness. He's a forgiving dog. He's what you want in your breeding program when it comes to selecting a true Doberman temperament. I did Doberman rescue for 27 years. I was lucky enough to have 4 generations of red female Dobermans during the majority of that time. The first was my foundation b*tch. She had both American and Canadian breed ring championships and multiple temperament certifications along with her Therapy dog cert. Every rescue that walked into our house and tried her, she'd roll, put them on the ground, and just hold them there. It sounded and looked horrible, but she NEVER broke skin. She'd let them up after they submitted and it would all be over and done with. Sometimes, they'd try her again, but NEVER try her a third time. Like with Prince, I trusted my Justice. She along with her generations of daughters helped me place EVERY Doberman that walked thru our door in a loving home. Sorry so long. This just brought back some really great memories of some truly special Dobermans.
No, don't apologise! It's great to hear real success stories like this! I'm not an owner (my career isn't currently compatible with ownership), but I love dogs and know how amazing they can be as both a companion and a working dog. I *hate* people who "blame the breed". My neighbour has a pair of MASSIVE rotties and freaked out when I casually came up to them and said hello, because, no doubt, he's so used to people "seeing the breed, not the dog". (Yes, they are ADORABLE and super friendly and chill 😊) Dobermans, like rotties and pitbulls get a bad rap because of irresponsible owners, no more, no less. We need more people like you who champion these maligned breeds.
I'd love to have a Dobie, but currently I wouldn't be able to give the big guy the exercise it deserves. But I'll keep these nuggets of knowledge in mind. Thanks!
I feel this comment in my bones. My mom had a dog named Storm. Full blooded pit with a beautiful temperament and built like a tank. She would train over active puppies by letting him do his thing. It's something you have to see to appreciate when a male asserts dominance to teach instead to inflict harm. I see it in these videos with Prince and it brings me back in time. Miss that dog so much, he was the best :(
Yes! And this is exactly the reason why puppies are supposed to stay with their moms until at least 3 months, because the mom CORRECTS and socializes them! Sometimes I think people forget about this!
@@gloriousgal9958Yes, sadly here the parents of a cousin of mine have a chihuahua who had puppies twice (unfortunately the first ones did not survive...) And the second ones were taken away as soon as they were about two weeks old just to sell them (Here including one that they said they would give to my cousin's grandmother because she feeds the dog because they don't care i guess). The day they tried to take their mom to feed them, they didn't eat anything.
Yes. My dog does it to my ex wifes dog which is an American Bully. Mine is a Pitbull Lab mix. Once he gets tired of the extra stuff, he grabs him by the scruff and is like, chill out little brother, I know this is your house but you are still too short to bully me. Then they run together and play with sticks. Theyre both 8 months with mine being a week older.
Sensible owners would save a lot of households. Dogs reflect the intelligence of the owners period! I can guarantee you the owners are as stupid as that dog is.
@PWNricky just a question but are you a dog trainer or an expert in dog behaviour? I'm not saying your comment is wrong but just wanna understand why your saying this
Prince IMMEDIATELY stopping when you called him off was…amazing. I was honestly stunned. Even in well behaved dogs there’s usually at least a bit of resistance or hesitation, but Prince and your bond with him is truly special.
@@RandomWeebAppeared Dobermans are usually some of the nicest dogs you can imagine. My Uncle had one when I was little, and I was terrified of the huge dog at first. I quickly figured out he was basically a giant, living stuffed animal with an enormous heart.
@@82dorrin I used to never be scared of dogs as a kid, then one day a bad encounter with a Rottweiler scared me so bad I turn in to flight mode whenever I see a big dog. Just my initial response of flinching has triggered some dogs to attack me. I don't blame the dogs, they're amazing, but I just turn them agressive without wanting to.
Little buddy had an out of body experience after Prince corrected him 😂 The shift is amazing and he looks so much more relaxed and chill. Only another dog can teach another dog how to be a dog. We humans can try and sometimes it works, but we can't replace another dog laying down the law
I have LGDs that are all Great Pyr or a pyr cross. These dogs are amazing to watch how they teach new puppies how to act as part of their pack. There was a culture established by us with the first pair, but when new younger puppies were introduced, the culture of not attacking livestock, recognizing what is a threat or not and who is stays with the herd as they retreat and who goes on the offense against the predator is all trained and decided by the pack. And for these types of dogs I have seen that is the best way. Dogs are the best teachers of dog pack behavior.
And.....what happens at most dog parks is NOT true pack behavior...these 'park' dogs have no boundaries, have no respect for other dogs and often for people...SO MANY are either bullies ot just plain rude. My dogs are not unfriendly, but don't RUN up and go for tail...at least greet face to face. My dogs face coyotes nightly....nobody gets behind them. That's a death sentence with coyotes so they'll spin and snap a warning ..I can feel the other owners going "well that wasn't a nice thing to do", yet it was their pet having no boundaries. My dogs aren't Prince, but they have set a few back on their heels for a minute then things settle down.
I love everything about Brandon McMillan's mission, show, and now his book! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 It couldn't have been released at a better time, as we just got a second dog and the only command she knew was "sit" which surprised me until I read about that in his book. I've had to modify a little bit, as it's too snowy to train outside and my big service animal wants to be right there, but he's actually been a help, as he obeys every command and then I get the new dog to do it, right beside him. I've trained a lot of dogs over the course of my lifetime, so some of this wasn't new but there were lots of new ideas and twists to what I've always done. For instance, I've never used leashes except when training to heel. I may do more of that, though I pick kinda chill animals who I seem to have some communication with, to start, and I haven't needed them, to date. The new dog may change that - though she's just getting over an upset stomach so we had to take a training recess for a few days. She got "down" and "stay" without them, though, so we'll see. Great to have the tools you need, if and when you need them!
The Labradors were putting in work also ,you can see they were constantly asserting the pack hierarchy to the dog after the altercation with Prince. Pretty incredible.
It's interesting to watch such happy labs run up to flex on him like that--it looks so unnatural for them, but they feel obliged to reinforce the lesson. It's pretty clear evidence of how much respect Prince garners from the dogs he hosts.
There’s literally no other trainers that do this. It absolutely makes sense. Dogs use bite inhibition, matching energies, ect to communicate. No other better teacher than another dog ! Bravo to Prince , he really changed that dogs behavior with that big correction. Now he gets it . I’m sure it’ll need repetition but wow. What a difference !
Yes, usually pups learn this early on from their mum, littermates, other dogs in that crucial socialization phase of their life. They are supposed to learn dog manners. But people project their emotions onto their dogs and freak out when their little bully gets even just growled at.
You wouldn't be thinking that if I showed you a video of what some adult dogs did to a puppy Cane Corso who only wanted to play but was corrected instead, immediately panicked and was basically mauled by the entire pack. Without human intervention the puppy would have been killed.
@@adamm5054 then the owners of those dogs arent good trainers. It’s not about simply putting a young dog out with other dogs it’s about socialising young dogs with stable dogs. If a dog is trained well enough saying a command in a stern voice should be enough to call them off like he just did with prince there. I usually try to verbally correct others dogs if they try to have a go at my dog so it doesn’t escalate, some dogs can be bullies and some dominant . Sometimes my dog with correct inappropriate dogs but I try not to put him in that position if I can step in when the owner of the dog is not.
@@adamm5054 how do you know that the puppy was just trying to play, I am going to give the benefit of the doubt to the pack that they knew the puppy's intent and punished him.
I think more trainers arent doing this because it very risky and probabaly extremely rare to see a dog as well adjusted and tuned in as Prince. Hes an absolutely phenomenal dog.
It’s probably just if you have a well trained Doberman and this dude as the trainer. He has owned a even better trained dog in the past. It was a golden Doberman.
I think you need to be an exceptional trainer to train a dog like Prince. So those who aren't going to use this method are those incapable of creating such a dog and thus not ones you should necessarily be using. Edited for missing words
It's the Doberman breed, had many of them thru out the years very easy to train, have to give them plenty exercise,love and attention good quality food. In my opinion the best breed in the world, once you gain their trust, they'll do anything for you! Very smart,!
damn the change in behavior is really almost instant. its like as soon as prince shut it down, it realized that it wasn’t the same size as the other dogs 😂
@@blujeans9462 I do not know what happens in most dog fights because there probably a lot of them I didn't witnessed, but from the ones I witnessed and some other dog owners I know witnessed or experienced, most of them resulted in a visit to the vet and some even worse.
most dog fights between well socialized dogs with bite inhibition looks crazy like here but won't require a vet visit because the dogs won't physcially hurt. it'll be one scaring the shit out of the other. if an adult dog bites and breaks skin (not a surface scratch) then that dog is a liability
@@blujeans9462 Sadly that's the case. Even when my Staffy plays with smaller dogs sometimes the owners freak out like my Staffy is attacking their dog. When in all reality they're just playing a bit rough. Some dogs just don't belong at dog parks and it's usually the smaller ones. Not because the dog doesn't enjoy it but because the owner can't handle their dog being roughed up a little.
I disagree to call the dog a little shit. It's too much anthropomorphizing. The dog never knew that this was even a thing, plus the breed is a bit bullheaded. It's absolutely not the dogs fault for how it acted, but it needed correction, correction that incurred absolutely no harm physically or mentally.
@@vixxcelacea2778 They give 0 shits what you call them. You're like the neighbor who called animal control because I called my dog an asshole. Piss off Karen.
Therapist here. Bullying isn’t a bad word. It’s a descriptor of behavior. You’re correct: Frenchie’s conduct was textbook bullying. Harassing, hectoring, disregarding boundaries, disrespectful behavior. With people, it’s learned and often intentional; always (in my experience) rooted in fear/anxiety. Same somehow with this dog, I think. Bullying is curbed by effective, real-life consequences (bravo, Prince👏). Thanks for training me to train my sweet, unsocialized, guarding, reactive rescue Chow, whom I love and won’t give up on. Your vids are helpful and encouraging.🌹
I have been taking my puppy (now a 4 month old border collie) to the dog park, and he watched another rather crazy energetic puppy get corrected by an adult husky, and now my puppy is super careful and diplomatic when he meets new dogs. My puppy learned by watching a different puppy get corrected, I believe. My puppy was very focused on what those dogs were doing and how they were reacting.
Huskies are the worst. I hate that breed of dog, always trying to establish dominance even on a tiny puppy. I leave the dog park when shit huskies are there. Always ruin it for every dog.
@@Habeebea Dogs are all about hierarchy. Not having one, or not knowing where they belong in it, is stressful to them. For a puppy to find itself without boundaries is confusing and scary. Rather than feel humiliated by finding themselves dominated, they're relieved at knowing where they belong, and feel protected by having someone above them in the hierarchy. Compared to most breeds and dogs, huskies have superior instincts and physique. They're not "trying to establish dominance"; they _are_ dominant, and they _know_ that hierarchy is a natural thing for dogs. You're not doing your dog any favors, by protecting it from correction by other dogs.
In my humble opinion: we as humans can never correct a dog as good as another dog can do. Great session! I struggle with our GS-mixed breed boy because of reactivity to other dogs. I learn a lot through watching your videos. Unfortunately many people are afraid of our dog, so social contacts are limited. But we‘ll progress!
Maybe consider a buddy once he's a little further along. My shepherd is still somewhat reactive but since she's gotten a sibling she's been closer to how she was before covid(neighbor didn't let her play with their dogs any more)
@@m.m9936 I have a little dog with him, she‘s 6 years old and very good with humans and other dogs. Problem is, he wants to protect us… but he’s making progress.
SO true Angela!! I totally agree!!! I have used some of my well balanced dogs in the past to help with situations like u are having with your shepherd mix. I used to run a rescue & constantly had new dogs in and out so my pack was very well balanced & used to helping to train other dogs. They’d comfort the new dogs when they came in, they’d teach unsocialized dogs how to play, etc. When I got out of rescue & moved to a different state, I met a few people at the dog park or other dog events who had reactivity issues with their dog & I offered to work with their dog with one (& eventually a 2nd) of my dogs. They were so stressed out at first & I kept assuring them it was all good & I had done this for years. Lol!! My pit bull Farrah who I lost this last year at 15 & my 7 year old pittie are phenomenal at teaching & training other dogs. I rarely had to do much, they did most of the training & it was amazing to watch the transformation of the dogs we were able to help. I thought it would take several sessions, but most only took 2 sessions & really the 2nd session was just to make me & the owners feel better. We did this with 4 dogs since I moved here to VA but did it with a lot more in the 15+ years I did rescue. I would love to do more of it if it would help more dogs & their people, but I don’t know how to put the offer out there to let people know. It’s more of a resource that I happen to have (the well balanced dog whose done a lot of this type of interaction) & I know there are dogs out there who could benefit tremendously but I have no idea how to get the word out. I’m betting there are a lot of people around who have dogs that would be great at teaching other dogs if they were trained on how to do it. I love dog behavior & enjoy training dogs & I’ve never charged anyone for helping out with their dog b/c I just want the dog to have a safe, healthy life & I want the owners to have a happy, stress free life with their pet. I’ve personally witnessed the absolute worst in my years doing rescue & so many dogs have suffered terrible fates over some training that would’ve been so simple & easy so I try to help in any way I can so that dogs aren’t surrendered to shelters or dumped out over stupid stuff that could be easily fixed. If u live in western va I’d love to help with your pup. It brings me so much joy seeing a dog’s problematic behaviors corrected & it also helps my brain learn more with every dog to dog interaction I witness!!!
you have to be the dogs leader we can correct dogs better than any dog can, prince has been trained way more extensively to be able to be controlled like this by his master. some people cant handle big dogs bc they can never be an alpha
Are you in the UK cause there is a shepherd and mix social group you can take your dog to and they just let their dogs be dogs and never let things get out of hand. When you first come everyone has their dogs on muzzles and when everything is calm they remove the muzzles great group don't know if it's still going though our last play session was a day before lock down and our dog fae is all social now gets along great with other dogs even the yappy small ones
Prince is very aptly named, his patience and tolerance are incredible to see. Also amazing how "just" he was in the correction he administered. Also got a laugh out of the other dogs giving similar attention to the little "bully" after-the-fact. Their actions were like: "do we need to bite you too, or do you get it now?" Lol...
This, Ladies and Gentlemen is a PERFECT example of a Dog Trainer that knows EXACTLY what it takes to train a dog. This guy fully understands Dog Psychology. Bravo Mr. Beckman👋👋👋
He is a little more authoritarian than authoritative but I have to agree he does know his stuff and is very good at reading the emotions on animals. I've not seen anyone else as good and I have learned a lot from Joel
He's a very good owners trainer as well, which is actually more important than training a dog. You can train a dog well, but if the owner isn't consistent, the dog will get confused.
Cesar has always worked with a dog, but ever since the episode where he got bit and it became a huge media thing, he doesn’t show a lot of the messiness of dog training. I think this is why people want to work with you - you have such a good helper dog and a good read on clients dogs.
Yes, I was going to mention Cesar. Nothing I'm watching here bothers me because I watched enough Dog Whisperer to understand the "power of the pack", as he says it. I have watched other UA-cam trainers that deride his kind of training, as if he's not kind or loving, but their methods don't work. They don't get the same results or take on the really tough cases. I watched one trainer and I couldn't believe she wasn't addressing the dogs' lack of exercise (pent up energy) or the dogs dominating the owners...or the vibe the owners give off. I just found this channel and I'm thinking, "Oh, yay, sanity!"
The change after Prince gives his correction is amazing. The trainee dog finally gets the message - he wasn't physically hurt at all, but learned a big lesson in terms of socialization
A dog training other dogs is so important, that's exactly what a good dog mom do! Also what their dog siblings are meant to be, their first play mates and teach socializing. I had a great Boxer-mix who gave birth to incrediblely intelligent pups and best of all is she had just the perfect temperament for a leader, calm, assertive and patient. Her pups were so well beheaved, I couldn't teach them better than she did. She has passed, 4 years now, but I'll never forget what great dog she was.
First I want to give massive kudos to prince for being one of the most patient training dogs I’ve ever seen. I’ve had training dogs like prince but not with as much patience LOL. It’s ironic that people fear Dobermans when they have no idea how great they are. Second, I was so happy to find your channel because I train dogs the same way. I was very impressed by your method. It works every time.
Sounds like youre a Dobey lover, and I am too but people should fear Dobermanns; theyre extremely protective, noticing every change in the environment and being fiercely protective of their territories and owners / pack. They require good trainers / owners, or else they will rule their pack/territory.
@@ENFPerspectives you shouldn't be fearful, you should respect their capabilities (not like bro i respect how gnarly you fight bro, always blood with you. But more like I respect what you can do) and learn to handle them. With that type of respect you'll learn more about the individual dog than being fearful, knowledge can be used as prevention or remedy of potential dangerous situations. Im not saying this situation was dangerous or not, however i clearly see that the Trainer here knows a lot about his dog and there is a certain level of professional respect.
@@latonyanewsome0 They look less fierce with their original floppy ears. My brother's best friend had a Dobermann with uncropped ears, a very gentle giant. Even my brother, who is usually scared of dogs, walked Diego without hesitation. Big dog with a big heart.
I agree with EVERYTHING Joel says in this video and am so glad he posted it! My dog has pulled a "Prince" at the dog park on several occasions. It wasn't planned - I just couldn't get to him to stop him in time. My dog never injured another dog but it doesn't look good when it's happening. People that get it, get it. People that treat their dogs like their babies, don't get it and freak out. I love this video. Thank you Joel!
Another dog flattened my dog once as my dog comes across too strong. Best thing ever! Totally get it, wish it would happen more often, my dog can be a jerk.
Prince has so much patience, he tolerated a lot from that little dog. You are in complete control of Prince, your recall was instant. I agree with you that Prince is a perfect teacher for this little dog. Prince is just what he needed. This little dog could get killed by another dog, his behaviour needed to change. Kudos to the owners for not giving up on their little guy!
I love that right before Prince lost it he was staring at him like: "I swear, you jump up to me ONE MORE TIME...!!!" ...And the dog did. And Price said enough and did his thing.
Thirty seconds into watching how reactive that Frenchie is over nothing I was like yeah that dog deserved every bit of the ass kicking Prince gave him. I'm glad you let it go on as long as you did. Some dogs just need a wake up call that only a controlled rough-up can give them. My black lab tried to fight an Akita recently. My lab was at my parent's house (I wasn't there) when their neighbor kindly brought a package that was in my parent's front yard to their front door. My mom tried to grab my lab's collar when the neighbor and his Akita came to the door but it was loose and slipped off. That freedom and her reaction to it all no doubt escalated the situation but he still had no right to go after the Akita. And from what my mom told me the Akita, which is 8 years younger and, you know, an Akita lol, gave him a big piece of humble pie. I was bothered at first when she told me but after a few minutes I was like you know what no one had to go to the vet and hopefully my lab will think twice before acting like an asshole again.
I'm not a dog trainer, but used to watch my Greyhound do this when we were at the dog park. He was super patient with annoying dogs but once he reached his limit he would put them in their place (just like in this video). The first time he did it it was terrifying, but once we realized what was happening it was pretty cool ❤️
Even when you know it isn't dangerous/ real/ aggressive, it is still absolutely terrifying. It's a built in response I think. And I say that after shoving people out of the way and breaking up a pit off my gsd who was on her back not even defending herself and me vs aggressive pit while owner watched. White woman stupid getting mauled decision, but yeah. I've seen dogs so it since and I still get anxiety. Lizard brain stuff!
When my dog was a puppy he came into our home where we already had an older female dog, he is a Spaniel and she was a Lurcher. She was rescue so we didn't know her background from a young age, but we trusted her to be around a puppy and I'm glad we did. Just as you say, she could sort him out when he was being an obnoxious brat better than we ever could. She never hurt him but when he was told, he was told and she helped him and me in so many ways and it opened my eyes to a stable dog schooling another dog. The Cane Corso lady I guess you mean is Senza Tempo Cane Corso, I've followed Rachel for a couple of years because she understands dogs too and makes some great educational videos. Thank you for sharing 💚
She also gives direct orders to her alpha dog to do the correction on another dog and the alpha does it. It's remarkable watching her work. She knows what's going on in her dog's minds and they know what's going on in hers.
My cousin had a very reactive female Doberman. They brought a trainer over who had 2 GSD's. They were perfectly obedient, and when the Dobie started lunging and barking, the trainer gave them a single command and the GSD's got in her face and made her back down. Literally a single word; they were incredibly well-trained. This was quite a few years ago, and I'm not entirely sure what the followup was, but it definitely worked in that scenario!
All I see is healthy canine communication. That's exactly what happens in the wolf pack. Prince isn't issuing discipline, but teaching what is acceptable and not acceptable in the group, I'm happy I found your channel!
The bulldog is like a child who's never had boundaries and needed to learn. You're right about society today, indulging their kids and dogs and spoiling them so they can't deal with the real world. At some point, better to show them the world is tough so they can learn while still in a safe environment. I'm a new subscriber and love your style! Used to live in San Diego and I think I've guessed that's where you are? Looking forward to more!
You’re absolutely right about how we’ve become too ‘happy clappy’ with dogs. I have rescue French Bulldog who is a unpredictably aggressive to people inc me. I can not be soft with him, I have to be firm. It’s not cruel, I’m not mean. I can’t have a dog whose own actions/decisions are potentially going to result in him being put down. You have to treat a dog, like a dog. I really enjoy your methods - I wish you were in the UK 😊 Many thanks for sharing your sessions / videos
I've never seen a dog trainer use a dog to train other dogs. You are the first person I've ever seen do it, but it seems so effective. You definitely seem like you know what you're doing and I think you have a point with saying a dog can train another dog better than a human can. I'm very glad I stumbled upon your channel and I have been binge watching a ton of your videos today.
Dude, old school trainers always train dogs with other dogs. Farm dogs are literally dogs that are trained by the packs of dogs, same goes for all the other kinds of working dogs except for the specilised military and police dogs that are meant to work as loners. Housedogs aren't loners, they can most certainly be trained with other dogs. And let me say this out loud, this Doberman of yours is an extremely well trained dog. You don't even need one that well trained to train other dogs. Your approach is 100% what farmers have been using for hundreds of years.
I have a pitbull mix who is the sweetest, sweetest dog that I ever had. I went to a friend's house who had a little frenchie who was not much more than a year old. She and my dog played were playing. She initiated the bite face play which my dog never did previously. She would get worked up.I would call my dog back to sit with me because I was not comfortable. I left the room and I heard squealing and my dog not in an aggressive way but during the course of play made a bite mark in her face. It literally healed over in a matter of hours. After the incident, they both got up on the couch, laid next to each other in complete peace. She was not afraid of him.Nothing was in the mean way but she stopped the super aggressive play.
Holy crap I've never seen anything like this before man like just wow!!! That was absolutely incredible seeing how that dog changed before and after that correction from prince. Good on you man!!!
What’s so sweet, is after he is calm, the other furbies are now like “hey there dude, let’s be friends!” When they clearly kept their distance cuz they knew he was looking for trouble. Til Prince, behaved, princely.
I LOVE seeing a trainer take advantage of this method! I've owned a lot of dogs and I've literally said, more times than I can count, the exact same things you've mentioned in this video. People will get scared when they see my 6 year old Rottweiler correct my 1 year old pitbulls, but I always say "don't worry, she's just teaching them what's ok and what's not."
OMG, this is my daughter's Frenchton to a tee. Whenever it's over here acting crazy, sometimes attacking my neighbor's larger dogs they teach it a free lesson in humility. This always ends quickly with a 15lb Frenchton on her back submitting. No injuries just larger dogs teaching a bully what's up. Great video.
That was awesome! An instant major change. And some people would say the dog was traumatized but that's not the case because he's play bowing within minutes. This frenchie looks like a lot of fun. Also, after you gave Prince some love he had a little more pep in his step. He definitely feeds off that praise.
Makes total sense to get your dog to train another one. When you watch dog rescues on YT it's often the other rescue dogs who help the new (often injured and traumatised) dog come out of its shell and relax and settle. Its the other dogs that restore the injured dog's faith in humans and in life. Amazing to watch your sessions. Subscribed!!
I work at a dog day care and we have some dogs that are good at correcting and have good recall. We’ll make groups with 1 or 2 dogs that are pushy and overstimulated and add one of our corrective dogs, it’s awesome to see the change once they get corrected. A lot of the time the corrections from staff will only be surface level, but the correction from another dog usually sticks and we see improvements in behavior as they continue to come to our facility. Awesome video by the way! I love seeing this sort of training, I wish more trainers implemented dog on dog training.
Yeah you’ve gotta be firm with dogs, that’s mammalian language. You mentioned that as a society we’re too soft with dogs, but the crucial thing is that we’ve gotten soft because our examples of “firmness” were in actuality abuse. However, you and Prince know what respectful firmness is, a communication of certainty and confidence as apposed to cruelty. And also, OF COURSE a dog would be better at teaching another dog social skills, so I absolutely love this.
Agreed. I feel like, in rejection of how older generations have standardised the "abuse method", Society is now overcompensating by being overly soft. after generations of abuse and being overly hard, now we're actively avoiding it by being overly soft instead. we went from One extreme to another, and Society just can't seem to find a stable and working middle ground method.
@@krysmun I think they found the right balance with the kids born in the late 80s and early 90s. I was hit when I was raised but not "abused". I never went to school with bruises or anything like that but if I did something wrong or wouldn't listen I got smacked, when I was young it was on the butt and when I was a bit older it was the back of the head and one time and one time only it was in the face but I was 16-17 at the time and looking back I think I deserved it. Now I'm not some crazy psychopath contemplating homicide or suicide, I'm a well raised adult who shows the utmost respect to everyone and demands the same. But they lost that perfect balance between discipline and abuse in the mid-late 90s
@@Yzandros666 I'd say that's a bold declaration without knowing what they did It's also worth noting that I think this tendency for people to decide other people suffered abuse and are victims is pretty obnoxious. If they have no symptoms of mental health problems and are healthy well rounded individuals you don't get to barrel in and tell them they're not just because it doesn't fit your world view
@@Yzandros666 Go read the book "A Child Called "It"". That's abuse, what happened to me was discipline. There's a huge difference between the two. The problem is the distinction was lost, now everything is abuse and the only form of discipline is taking away a cell phone so the child can whine and cry for 10 minutes and get it right back. Look at the people born pre-1960 they were hit with rulers by their teachers and they weren't complaining and it wasn't considered abuse. Abuse: Hitting a child with a closed hand Discipline: Hitting a child with an open hand Abuse: Come home from work mad and hit a child Discipline: Child doesn't does something and gets hit with an open hand
When you said he "uses the other dogs however he wants" resonated with me, cause that's what my dog Katara does and I thought I was being too forceful. Honestly, you've given me the confidence to know that what and how I've felt about it all these years is correct and that society is wrong. THANK YOU I will start implementing the corrections more hardcore because that is what she needs to be able to have dog friends and be friendly to other dogs and stop terrorizing them. Also, so she stops putting herself in dangerous situations.
It's the same thing with kids. Thiis modern plastic wrapped, soft, weak culture tells parents it's wrong to spank kids or other things that would make them cry. It's ridiculous. As long as one disciplines with the right intention - to instruct, correct and as a last resort, it doesn't become abuse. Sometimes tough cases require tougher dealings then they improve, and you won't have to correct as harshly because the kid or the dog learns from their mistakes.
@@CrypticHowl The trainer says in his narration that Prince does not hurt the other dogs, just shows them that their behavior is unacceptable. He also explicitly says that E-collars and prong collars "ruin" dogs because they cause them to associate other dogs with pain. This video is not an endorsement of using physical pain to discipline dogs. Children, likewise, should not be made to associate their parents with physical pain. There are ways to discipline children and help them learn to regulate their own behavior that don't involve hitting them. In fact, numerous studies have shown that children who are spanked act out more and have more difficulty regulating their behavior than children who are not spanked.
Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.
The interaction is just perfect. Prince corrects him, the trainer says “ok, that’s enough” prince walks away and instantly the yellow lab comes up to the little dog and lets him know that he is still safe and there is no need to get worked up anymore. Awesome 👏
I have a GSD/Lab mix who I've had for over a year now, he is 3, and I got him from the shelter. His name is Bear. We just recently got a GSD puppy that's 9 weeks old now (Baloo), and I 100% let my older dog correct him when needed. He's never been too rough, just enough to tell the pup he's had enough, and to see how well the puppy listens is just mind-blowing. Baloo pouts for a bit then goes and gets a toy instead 😂 I think it's amazing! I've watched your channel for the last year since I got Bear, incase he had any behavior issues, but luckily who ever his family was before the shelter did an amazing job with him. Wish I knew who they were!
I had a beautiful 18 month old shepherd who needed a companion. I got my 4 month old boxer, and it was a thing of beauty to watch her train him. We even felt sorry for him now and again. Every time we corrected him, she would reinforce it, just a tap on his head but he got it. It was like not having a puppy in the house, and at a training session the trainer used him as a "perfect behavior" dog. If they were in the wild, that is how they would learn.
I’ve been in to using other dogs for over 10 years and have always told people about this method and I’m glad to see you’ve got the sense that many haven’t to do this form of training
Dog fixed what man couldn't fix, beyond Extreme excitement. He does a great job but there are times where only dogs or canine mothers can handle business. This Little guy was too much for anyone.
I whole heartily agree with the “Prince” corrections. I adopted a standard Golden Doodle, whom has similar behaviors to the Frenchie. I am seeking the right “pair” for a good “put my dog in place” session, that I know he deserves, by the way he behaves. Because of his size, it’s challenging to find the right circumstances. I am nervous just to let him out at a dog park, knowing he will be corrected, and cause a fuss. I feel as though I would be being rude to the other “patrons”, since I know he will get, and needs a “smack down”. I have been working with him for a few months, with a pincher collar. He is better… but I know he needs the correction by the real deal, a “Prince”. I am just an average person with basic skills trying to deal with this 5 year old dog who everyone else gave up on cause he needs work. Thank you for sharing this insightful video and message🙏🏼
If you have local doggie boarding/daycare facilities it could be beneficial to ask the managers there if they have an even tempered, no-nonsense dog that could help with his corrections, specifically their own dog such as this trainer uses his personal dog. My manager did that for me when i as a caretaker needed to learn the difference between aggression and corrections, and I'm sure someplace like that will be willing to help. Instead of a dog park opt to find a licensed trainer who can not only provide a safe experience but teach you a bit about dog behavior and what's happening so it doesn't seem so scary in the moment. Best of luck!!
We adopted a puppy and she constantly nips at the face and is just a jerk. Our dog was just raising her head to get away but after 30 minutes of her doing it she corrected her and she’s left her alone since. At first I thought she attacked her but watching your video made me realize it was a dog on dog correction which is what she needed. 💗
An important word that hasn’t been mentioned by you or your viewers is “consequences”. This dog, along with many others you’ve trained, had to learn the consequences of his actions because he’d never been properly socialized with other dogs as you pointed out. Prince has a great temperament & seems to understand his “job” perfectly. BTW, all your dogs are wonderful. The only time I’ve personally encountered a Doberman was years ago when we were fishing at a state park along a river shore when a dog started barking fiercely at us; but thankfully it was in a fenced yard & also tethered to a lead. A half hour later we were a long way downriver from there when my boyfriend said “don’t move, the Doberman is behind you”. At first I froze, but it was clear it was just looking for affection when she laid down next to me for belly rubs & played fetch, then walked with us for awhile. It was the most magical kind of encounter that I’ll never forget.
Prince is truly a superstar! The truth with Prince is so similar to what I have seen with horses. I have trained and ridden horses my whole life, and I understand exactly what you’re saying that sometimes the animal in need of training needs another animal of their type to teach proper etiquette. Horses DEFINITELY learn how to behave from other horses, and having a senior, higher horse correct a younger aggressive horse for example is a crucial lesson. It’s one of the many reasons why locking up a horse alone in a stall with no paddock time and no experiences with other horses - not unlike dogs being crated for hours and never living and learning around other dogs - creates distorted and unhappy animals.
WOW what a fabulous video, I love your comments too on how we should be with our dogs, we're to soft and it's creating anxiety and stress in our pets, watching the natural order of Prince telling that little dude how things work at his house was excellent and look how different the Frenchie was, he needed that, he needed to be put in his place and Prince was perfect, well done all involved and I hope the owners and their little dude doggy are living a more stress free happier life 🐾🐾
This was fantastic man! I swear every time I watch your videos I wish I lived near by to bring my dog. Your work is remarkable. I love the fact you bring realness and natural methods to solve these problems.
Wow! By far one of my favorite videos! Francis was definitely a rude boy with zero manners...until he met Prince! Sorry Joel, no questions from me, your assessment was spot on and so was Prince's (who definitely wasn't going to bite down on the bully). Truly amazing to watch Francis actually taking the time to think twice afterwards, let's not forget the other dogs (Prince's backups) their input after the fact added to Prince's successful correction, Francis learned a lot in this session. Thank you to the owners for bringing him to Beckman's!
I grew up with horses. Horses check and teach each other from foal hood. I have to confess, it NEVER occurred to me that this 100 percent should be a primary method in dog training.
You have just taught me about corrections! I had no idea that is what our new puppy needed. She is a JERK to her brothers and when they would try to correct her we would intervene thinking they are being aggressive. Thank you so much for explaining this.
I love how the Pyr's, and the lab, were constantly checking on the little bully. Especially once he changed his attitude and when he came out of the pool. They were all making sure he was ok and were also reinforcing the lessons Prince gave him. In my opinion, dogs are the best trainers of other dogs. And I think it is best to keep puppies with their mom and litter mates until they are 4 months old (depending on the breed) as these are things they learn right from the beginning. Social behaviours for dogs are hard to teach if you're not a dog.
8 weeks is pretty young to get a pup. That’s the average age in Australia. It would be great to get them later when mum and litter mates had time to get social behaviours. 👌🏽
I love that while Francis' behavior has visibly improved A LOT, his spark, curiosity and playfulness are still completely intact. He no longer is all up in other dogs faces like a lil jerk and clearly more careful about how he approaches the dogs, but not timid, not scared, not traumatized even a bit. I think in the end he actually got much more of the play that he craved, so not being a jerk might end up being a self-rewarding behavior.
Just starting the video and just started watching your channel. Im 63 and had dogs my entire life. I had a Doberman and they are one of the best dogs to own. It’s all how your raise them. You can see that Prince is a very stable dog that has all the trust and respect for his owner. Prince is working with the owner and corrects the other dog. I just got a stray German shepherd mix 9months. Very strong headed. My 11 yr GSP is just like Prince. He helps me out more than you can imagine. And is see another side of my GSP that is awesome. He communicates with me working the the shepherd. Sounds weird but true. Meaning he reads me and stays with the shepherd correcting her. I love dogs! You respect them and they will respect and love you unconditionally just like they say!
Back when i had my Doberman my cousin had a pit bull and he was one of these bad ass owners that wanted a tuff dog image. My Dobie was the opposite! The Pit kept pushing my dog until he did a back flip[ and pinned the pit down and barked ferociously in the pits face and then let him up in the pit stopped antagonizing my Dobie. Your are absolutely right about todays world. I dont let my dogs get away with bad behavior. People have said that i should get my dogs harnesses. I feel that Harnesses are for working and they want to pull, like sled dogs.
No questions. This was complete knowledge in one video! Poor Meisha getting left behind in the pasture 😆 Bless her, she was so happy when her buddies showed back up!
This session is worth every penny for the owners! They’re going home with a totally different dog because of Prince’s correction and that’s freaking awesome!!!
Love your videos! I began training dogs, as a child, at about 10. I'm 52 now and still love to train and work with dogs. So many things, you talk about, and demonstrate, I've learned, for watching dogs interact and working with them. People have said I'm not doing it right, but often times, dogs have no social skills and the best way to learn, is from another dog. Great job!! You do awesome work and are teaching others, about dogs, their behavior, and teaching them.
You’re so right about dogs training other dogs. Got my dog (frenchie pug mix) as a puppy and he grew up with an older, extremely well trained dog, and also met many other dogs and he was corrected multiple times as he grew up. It was so important to his development
I really don’t think even some trainers couldn’t do this. You really need to know real dog behavior. And I think this guy is amazing. I get why STCC recommended this channel and had nothing but great things to say. I’m just in awe.
I don't know which was more impressive, the immediacy of that Frenchie's attitude shift or the immediacy of Prince's 'out' response. Great to watch two master trainers work!
You and Prince just saved that dogs life, cos if he tried that nonsense on some other dog he's done. Prince was amazing. Perfect pressure applied, immediately let go upon command. Absolutely amazing.
I just happen to fall upon your videos after watching a bunch of dog training videos, and yours is by far the best in showing and explaining situations. Others just explain with no visual practice, but you show us exactly how to correct them with real situations. I appreciate your videos so much!
I love how Prince responds immediately when you call him off the dog! Shows how tuned in he is not only to the dogs but to you.
It's the basic of basic of training (or owning really) a dog. The dog must prioritize your call over anything else.
@@kaikart123 sry but that is so delusional, In the middle of a fight or flight situation VERY few dogs are still responsive and you wont get anywhere near that on an average dog with just basic training. Yeah sure there are some teadybears out there that do even with no special training what so ever but those are rare! Of course pre figth they all should be responsive 100% otherwise you shoundt be allowed to unleash them IMO
@@proxis9980 You don't know what the fuck you're talking about
@@proxis9980 If you don’t understand That certain breeds Have a Certain response when flipping the fight or flight Do some research I know pitbulls They flip a switch and it’s kill If the dog was allowed to get to the point like that You failed to watch your dog and be a Responsible owner. Honestly the only thing Unrealistic is that Dogs have Pre-fights HAAAAA They Don’t have pre fights when they are snarling or chasing each other unless it’s clearly play It’s fighting.
@@kaikart123 most people's dogs don't have recall that strong tho fs! Prince is def impressive. Ik my dogs' recall gets attention at parks bc its good. I suspect not as strong as prince bc I bet prince'll call off anything. and honestly ive been pretty proud of this bc tht recall was a lot of work :0 not complex but requiring long and consistent effort with a lot of imperfections in his adolescence
Prince is so smart and his processing time is SO fast. He is such a cool and impressive dog to watch.
lol I know, I subbed to channel just because I'm so impressed by Prince. Trainer is amazing, as well but it's fun to watch Prince "do his thing"
Amen to that! He's a fantastic credit to this trainer.
While "novel", this makes complete sense to me - sometimes, people just need to get their ass whooped before they understand their place. Dogs are no different.
Watch that correction scene in .25 speed and it becomes even more impressive how instantly Prince backs off on the call.
Dobermans have such a fast processing time. They are an amazing breed
@@Maya47745 Ya now that you mention it, they do seem to have very quick decisions making skills. This girl I went to school with had (I think they're called) "a red nosed Domberman" and she looked so intimidating. She was very nice but the way she carried herself (super confident) and alert let everyone know "she ment business."
Very cool dogs 😎🐕
We had a French Bulldog in daycare who was just like Francis. His name was JJ and he would launch himself at other dogs’ faces. He played SO rough and he would fixate on one particular dog and just pester them endlessly. It got to the point where a dog turned on him like Prince did, didn’t hurt him, but just shocked his little brain into realizing that his behavior was unacceptable. He was much much better after that incident lol
Its like its finally all clicks in their heads, "this is what I've been doing to others?" "wow" "I don't like that one bit..." LOL Great job to Prince for having the control to handle it perfectly!
French bulldogs are deformed and I don't understand why anyone would want a dog that messed up
@@skyjacksonA1 to each their own tbf, tho i prefer tall muscled breeds myself
The less dogs interact with dogs and spend their time only around humans, the more they think they are humans. This dog is deluded into thinking he is much more than he really is because the humans around him humor him.
There was a sudden realization that he can actually fit inside Prince's mouth. Real life has a pecking order. You can figure it out yourself or have it explained to you.
If only more humans had the self control that Prince does.
@@irionuchiha3823 me as well I have a pitbull Doberman
I noticed during the moment that Prince really got onto him, Prince never actually bit him. Prince grabbed the frenchie’s collar, so he never hurt the little guy, just scared him lol. The self control of a dog like prince is admirable and amazing, your training videos are awesome and I really enjoy watching them! Keep it up!
Yes, in just about every video with prince, you see he either just nips at the collar/neck, or will put the side of his mouth along them and bite at just the fur. It drives home that they can't do that, whilst also not being ACTUALLY aggressive. Prince is awesome :D
TRUE TRUE❤
You could even see Prince showed a little teeth as a “final warning” and the little guy still nipped at his face. So he got the correction he deserved. Great job Prince and Joel!
Prince: "I'm not getting paid enough for this"
I’ll bring my rott over to see prince ,no sensorship in comments and video it and post all I ask

@@irionuchiha3823 Um what? There is no deciphering needed lmao. He commented literally what he saw in the video lmao. So idk what you're on about "comment needs to be deciphered"
The dog got humbled by Prince but my god the self-control Prince has to disengage immediately on your call is phenomenal. This is hands down one of the best dog training videos I've ever seen.
Prince was working. Not stressed about it, just his job. Working cattle dogs look mean biting a bull on the nose or leg, yet call away becuse they are just working, not fighting.
I've lived with Dobermans for over 40 years. Every time I watch Prince, I'm blown away at how he has the PERFECT Doberman temperament. The way he handles his Alpha position is a thing of beauty in dogs. He's a just Alpha male in fairness. He's a forgiving dog. He's what you want in your breeding program when it comes to selecting a true Doberman temperament.
I did Doberman rescue for 27 years. I was lucky enough to have 4 generations of red female Dobermans during the majority of that time. The first was my foundation b*tch. She had both American and Canadian breed ring championships and multiple temperament certifications along with her Therapy dog cert. Every rescue that walked into our house and tried her, she'd roll, put them on the ground, and just hold them there. It sounded and looked horrible, but she NEVER broke skin. She'd let them up after they submitted and it would all be over and done with. Sometimes, they'd try her again, but NEVER try her a third time.
Like with Prince, I trusted my Justice. She along with her generations of daughters helped me place EVERY Doberman that walked thru our door in a loving home. Sorry so long. This just brought back some really great memories of some truly special Dobermans.
how beautiful, the amount of pride you must’ve had from that girl is something i dream of in my future dog. :) dobermans are stunning
No, don't apologise! It's great to hear real success stories like this!
I'm not an owner (my career isn't currently compatible with ownership), but I love dogs and know how amazing they can be as both a companion and a working dog.
I *hate* people who "blame the breed". My neighbour has a pair of MASSIVE rotties and freaked out when I casually came up to them and said hello, because, no doubt, he's so used to people "seeing the breed, not the dog". (Yes, they are ADORABLE and super friendly and chill 😊)
Dobermans, like rotties and pitbulls get a bad rap because of irresponsible owners, no more, no less.
We need more people like you who champion these maligned breeds.
I'd love to have a Dobie, but currently I wouldn't be able to give the big guy the exercise it deserves. But I'll keep these nuggets of knowledge in mind. Thanks!
Mine was named Tabitha. My heart still swells with love and pride when I think about her.
I feel this comment in my bones. My mom had a dog named Storm. Full blooded pit with a beautiful temperament and built like a tank. She would train over active puppies by letting him do his thing. It's something you have to see to appreciate when a male asserts dominance to teach instead to inflict harm. I see it in these videos with Prince and it brings me back in time. Miss that dog so much, he was the best :(
“There are dogs that have to be corrected by other dogs”. This is absolutely correct. You are doing it right 👍🏿👍🏿👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿👍🏿👏🏾👍🏿
Yes! And this is exactly the reason why puppies are supposed to stay with their moms until at least 3 months, because the mom CORRECTS and socializes them! Sometimes I think people forget about this!
lol... like, good job buddy bud! you are doing it right!
you sounds like a student trying to be condescending to a master teacher... no offence
@@gloriousgal9958Yes, sadly here the parents of a cousin of mine have a chihuahua who had puppies twice (unfortunately the first ones did not survive...) And the second ones were taken away as soon as they were about two weeks old just to sell them (Here including one that they said they would give to my cousin's grandmother because she feeds the dog because they don't care i guess). The day they tried to take their mom to feed them, they didn't eat anything.
Yes. My dog does it to my ex wifes dog which is an American Bully. Mine is a Pitbull Lab mix. Once he gets tired of the extra stuff, he grabs him by the scruff and is like, chill out little brother, I know this is your house but you are still too short to bully me. Then they run together and play with sticks. Theyre both 8 months with mine being a week older.
Cesar Milan has been using other dogs and animals way before you
Dogs like Prince could actually save a lot of households.. Kudos to this trainer who raised him..
Sensible owners would save a lot of households. Dogs reflect the intelligence of the owners period! I can guarantee you the owners are as stupid as that dog is.
@Joseph Selvyn, that trainer would be Joel Beckman. This is his UA-cam you watched.
Not at all this a terrible method
@PWNricky just a question but are you a dog trainer or an expert in dog behaviour?
I'm not saying your comment is wrong but just wanna understand why your saying this
Prince IMMEDIATELY stopping when you called him off was…amazing. I was honestly stunned. Even in well behaved dogs there’s usually at least a bit of resistance or hesitation, but Prince and your bond with him is truly special.
Yeah, I'm terrified of dogs, especially Rottweilers/Dobermanns, but I'd trust this guy and Prince 100%
@@RandomWeebAppeared Dobermans are usually some of the nicest dogs you can imagine. My Uncle had one when I was little, and I was terrified of the huge dog at first.

@@arijit1809 what happened to bosco?
Little buddy had an out of body experience after Prince corrected him 😂 The shift is amazing and he looks so much more relaxed and chill.
Only another dog can teach another dog how to be a dog. We humans can try and sometimes it works, but we can't replace another dog laying down the law
THIS
What's really interesting is how the other dogs interacted with him afterwards - it was almost like "you got corrected by the boss, but that's okay".
I have LGDs that are all Great Pyr or a pyr cross. These dogs are amazing to watch how they teach new puppies how to act as part of their pack. There was a culture established by us with the first pair, but when new younger puppies were introduced, the culture of not attacking livestock, recognizing what is a threat or not and who is stays with the herd as they retreat and who goes on the offense against the predator is all trained and decided by the pack. And for these types of dogs I have seen that is the best way. Dogs are the best teachers of dog pack behavior.
And.....what happens at most dog parks is NOT true pack behavior...these 'park' dogs have no boundaries, have no respect for other dogs and often for people...SO MANY are either bullies ot just plain rude. My dogs are not unfriendly, but don't RUN up and go for tail...at least greet face to face. My dogs face coyotes nightly....nobody gets behind them. That's a death sentence with coyotes so they'll spin and snap a warning ..I can feel the other owners going "well that wasn't a nice thing to do", yet it was their pet having no boundaries.
My dogs aren't Prince, but they have set a few back on their heels for a minute then things settle down.

I love everything about Brandon McMillan's mission, show, and now his book! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 It couldn't have been released at a better time, as we just got a second dog and the only command she knew was "sit" which surprised me until I read about that in his book. I've had to modify a little bit, as it's too snowy to train outside and my big service animal wants to be right there, but he's actually been a help, as he obeys every command and then I get the new dog to do it, right beside him. I've trained a lot of dogs over the course of my lifetime, so some of this wasn't new but there were lots of new ideas and twists to what I've always done. For instance, I've never used leashes except when training to heel. I may do more of that, though I pick kinda chill animals who I seem to have some communication with, to start, and I haven't needed them, to date. The new dog may change that - though she's just getting over an upset stomach so we had to take a training recess for a few days. She got "down" and "stay" without them, though, so we'll see. Great to have the tools you need, if and when you need them!
Ooh he has a book? Im so getting it!! Thanks for mentioning that.
I love how the labs and goldens just came over tail wagging trying to give emotional support to whatever being needs it

The Labradors were putting in work also ,you can see they were constantly asserting the pack hierarchy to the dog after the altercation with Prince. Pretty incredible.
It's interesting to watch such happy labs run up to flex on him like that--it looks so unnatural for them, but they feel obliged to reinforce the lesson.
It's pretty clear evidence of how much respect Prince garners from the dogs he hosts.
I agree the pack back up for Prince was interesting to watch.
I have to re watch the video now, I didn't watch it closely enough and I missed this. Cool observation.
Yeah, couppe lf them came over and pecked at him. Letting him know they are the big boys too.
@Carol Excellent point, I saw that as well.
There’s literally no other trainers that do this. It absolutely makes sense. Dogs use bite inhibition, matching energies, ect to communicate. No other better teacher than another dog ! Bravo to Prince , he really changed that dogs behavior with that big correction. Now he gets it . I’m sure it’ll need repetition but wow. What a difference !
Yes, usually pups learn this early on from their mum, littermates, other dogs in that crucial socialization phase of their life. They are supposed to learn dog manners.
But people project their emotions onto their dogs and freak out when their little bully gets even just growled at.
You wouldn't be thinking that if I showed you a video of what some adult dogs did to a puppy Cane Corso who only wanted to play but was corrected instead, immediately panicked and was basically mauled by the entire pack. Without human intervention the puppy would have been killed.
@@adamm5054 then the owners of those dogs arent good trainers. It’s not about simply putting a young dog out with other dogs it’s about socialising young dogs with stable dogs. If a dog is trained well enough saying a command in a stern voice should be enough to call them off like he just did with prince there. I usually try to verbally correct others dogs if they try to have a go at my dog so it doesn’t escalate, some dogs can be bullies and some dominant . Sometimes my dog with correct inappropriate dogs but I try not to put him in that position if I can step in when the owner of the dog is not.
@@adamm5054 how do you know that the puppy was just trying to play, I am going to give the benefit of the doubt to the pack that they knew the puppy's intent and punished him.

@@lentilswoo No. To the dog you're the alpha.
Prince has an incredibly high threshold for being annoyed. What an absolutely wonderful dog he is.
I think more trainers arent doing this because it very risky and probabaly extremely rare to see a dog as well adjusted and tuned in as Prince. Hes an absolutely phenomenal dog.
You can't commercialize this. It's holistic.
It’s probably just if you have a well trained Doberman and this dude as the trainer. He has owned a even better trained dog in the past. It was a golden Doberman.
I think you need to be an exceptional trainer to train a dog like Prince. So those who aren't going to use this method are those incapable of creating such a dog and thus not ones you should necessarily be using. Edited for missing words
@@greeneggsspam3969 Yeah, I watched the Shorts of Bosco before and this dog was the most elite one. Just so calm but Alpha at the same time..
I just worry about yanking the lease that hard and damaging his throat……..
Amazed at Prince's self control and willingness to immediately pull off when called. Good boy! Nice job.
It's the Doberman breed, had many of them thru out the years very easy to train, have to give them plenty exercise,love and attention good quality food. In my opinion the best breed in the world, once you gain their trust, they'll do anything for you! Very smart,!
@@johnnysanchez4456 doesnt matter what dog you have if the dog thinks its higher on the totem pole than you it wont listen.
damn the change in behavior is really almost instant. its like as soon as prince shut it down, it realized that it wasn’t the same size as the other dogs 😂
The napoleon complex in full display
Oh the restraint that Prince showed is admirable, he didn't even break the skin. Other dogs might have injured him bad.
@@blujeans9462 r u kidding ? Forget the size ; the aggressor is at fault. If he got hurt that’s on his owners, for fucks sake.
@@blujeans9462 I do not know what happens in most dog fights because there probably a lot of them I didn't witnessed, but from the ones I witnessed and some other dog owners I know witnessed or experienced, most of them resulted in a visit to the vet and some even worse.
most dog fights between well socialized dogs with bite inhibition looks crazy like here but won't require a vet visit because the dogs won't physcially hurt. it'll be one scaring the shit out of the other.
if an adult dog bites and breaks skin (not a surface scratch) then that dog is a liability
@@blujeans9462 stay out of dog parks my guy.
@@blujeans9462 Sadly that's the case. Even when my Staffy plays with smaller dogs sometimes the owners freak out like my Staffy is attacking their dog. When in all reality they're just playing a bit rough. Some dogs just don't belong at dog parks and it's usually the smaller ones. Not because the dog doesn't enjoy it but because the owner can't handle their dog being roughed up a little.
I totally agree that a trusted dog is a great benefit and training partner 👍
Love this
It looks so terrifying but he's not biting he's teaching that little shit a lesson. You said his name once and he broke right off. What a good dog
I disagree to call the dog a little shit. It's too much anthropomorphizing. The dog never knew that this was even a thing, plus the breed is a bit bullheaded. It's absolutely not the dogs fault for how it acted, but it needed correction, correction that incurred absolutely no harm physically or mentally.

Therapist here. Bullying isn’t a bad word. It’s a descriptor of behavior. You’re correct: Frenchie’s conduct was textbook bullying. Harassing, hectoring, disregarding boundaries, disrespectful behavior. With people, it’s learned and often intentional; always (in my experience) rooted in fear/anxiety. Same somehow with this dog, I think. Bullying is curbed by effective, real-life consequences (bravo, Prince👏).
Thanks for training me to train my sweet, unsocialized, guarding, reactive rescue Chow, whom I love and won’t give up on. Your vids are helpful and encouraging.🌹
I'd pin this comment if I could. Absolute textbook, I come back to this clip pretty often as an example of all of this
I have been taking my puppy (now a 4 month old border collie) to the dog park, and he watched another rather crazy energetic puppy get corrected by an adult husky, and now my puppy is super careful and diplomatic when he meets new dogs. My puppy learned by watching a different puppy get corrected, I believe. My puppy was very focused on what those dogs were doing and how they were reacting.
It stands to reason, if ANY pup would learn just by observing, it would be a BC pup. 😉
@@momcat2223 yeah, crazy smart fellas
Border Collies - I've heard - are the smartest dog breed, so not surprised she could learn by watching!
Huskies are the worst. I hate that breed of dog, always trying to establish dominance even on a tiny puppy. I leave the dog park when shit huskies are there. Always ruin it for every dog.
@@Habeebea Dogs are all about hierarchy. Not having one, or not knowing where they belong in it, is stressful to them. For a puppy to find itself without boundaries is confusing and scary. Rather than feel humiliated by finding themselves dominated, they're relieved at knowing where they belong, and feel protected by having someone above them in the hierarchy. Compared to most breeds and dogs, huskies have superior instincts and physique. They're not "trying to establish dominance"; they _are_ dominant, and they _know_ that hierarchy is a natural thing for dogs. You're not doing your dog any favors, by protecting it from correction by other dogs.
In my humble opinion: we as humans can never correct a dog as good as another dog can do. Great session! I struggle with our GS-mixed breed boy because of reactivity to other dogs. I learn a lot through watching your videos. Unfortunately many people are afraid of our dog, so social contacts are limited. But we‘ll progress!
Maybe consider a buddy once he's a little further along. My shepherd is still somewhat reactive but since she's gotten a sibling she's been closer to how she was before covid(neighbor didn't let her play with their dogs any more)
@@m.m9936 I have a little dog with him, she‘s 6 years old and very good with humans and other dogs. Problem is, he wants to protect us… but he’s making progress.
SO true Angela!! I totally agree!!! I have used some of my well balanced dogs in the past to help with situations like u are having with your shepherd mix. I used to run a rescue & constantly had new dogs in and out so my pack was very well balanced & used to helping to train other dogs. They’d comfort the new dogs when they came in, they’d teach unsocialized dogs how to play, etc. When I got out of rescue & moved to a different state, I met a few people at the dog park or other dog events who had reactivity issues with their dog & I offered to work with their dog with one (& eventually a 2nd) of my dogs. They were so stressed out at first & I kept assuring them it was all good & I had done this for years. Lol!! My pit bull Farrah who I lost this last year at 15 & my 7 year old pittie are phenomenal at teaching & training other dogs. I rarely had to do much, they did most of the training & it was amazing to watch the transformation of the dogs we were able to help. I thought it would take several sessions, but most only took 2 sessions & really the 2nd session was just to make me & the owners feel better. We did this with 4 dogs since I moved here to VA but did it with a lot more in the 15+ years I did rescue. I would love to do more of it if it would help more dogs & their people, but I don’t know how to put the offer out there to let people know. It’s more of a resource that I happen to have (the well balanced dog whose done a lot of this type of interaction) & I know there are dogs out there who could benefit tremendously but I have no idea how to get the word out. I’m betting there are a lot of people around who have dogs that would be great at teaching other dogs if they were trained on how to do it. I love dog behavior & enjoy training dogs & I’ve never charged anyone for helping out with their dog b/c I just want the dog to have a safe, healthy life & I want the owners to have a happy, stress free life with their pet. I’ve personally witnessed the absolute worst in my years doing rescue & so many dogs have suffered terrible fates over some training that would’ve been so simple & easy so I try to help in any way I can so that dogs aren’t surrendered to shelters or dumped out over stupid stuff that could be easily fixed. If u live in western va I’d love to help with your pup. It brings me so much joy seeing a dog’s problematic behaviors corrected & it also helps my brain learn more with every dog to dog interaction I witness!!!
you have to be the dogs leader we can correct dogs better than any dog can, prince has been trained way more extensively to be able to be controlled like this by his master. some people cant handle big dogs bc they can never be an alpha
Are you in the UK cause there is a shepherd and mix social group you can take your dog to and they just let their dogs be dogs and never let things get out of hand. When you first come everyone has their dogs on muzzles and when everything is calm they remove the muzzles great group don't know if it's still going though our last play session was a day before lock down and our dog fae is all social now gets along great with other dogs even the yappy small ones
Prince is very aptly named, his patience and tolerance are incredible to see. Also amazing how "just" he was in the correction he administered. Also got a laugh out of the other dogs giving similar attention to the little "bully" after-the-fact. Their actions were like: "do we need to bite you too, or do you get it now?" Lol...
So funny because so true.
Just as long as the comparison is not Harry, then yes I agree, lol.
This, Ladies and Gentlemen is a PERFECT example of a Dog Trainer that knows EXACTLY what it takes to train a dog. This guy fully understands Dog Psychology. Bravo Mr. Beckman👋👋👋
He is a little more authoritarian than authoritative but I have to agree he does know his stuff and is very good at reading the emotions on animals. I've not seen anyone else as good and I have learned a lot from Joel
He's a very good owners trainer as well, which is actually more important than training a dog. You can train a dog well, but if the owner isn't consistent, the dog will get confused.
@@Random_user_8472 100% Agree. Cesar Milan 101.
Cesar has always worked with a dog, but ever since the episode where he got bit and it became a huge media thing, he doesn’t show a lot of the messiness of dog training. I think this is why people want to work with you - you have such a good helper dog and a good read on clients dogs.
Yes, because the Dog Cult will come for blood 🩸
@@chrisjames2334 All cult come for blood. lol
Yes, I was going to mention Cesar. Nothing I'm watching here bothers me because I watched enough Dog Whisperer to understand the "power of the pack", as he says it. I have watched other UA-cam trainers that deride his kind of training, as if he's not kind or loving, but their methods don't work. They don't get the same results or take on the really tough cases. I watched one trainer and I couldn't believe she wasn't addressing the dogs' lack of exercise (pent up energy) or the dogs dominating the owners...or the vibe the owners give off. I just found this channel and I'm thinking, "Oh, yay, sanity!"
Perfect example of what a helper dog is there for. Prince is such a freaking awesome dog!!!
GOOD BOY PRINCEY👑
The change after Prince gives his correction is amazing. The trainee dog finally gets the message - he wasn't physically hurt at all, but learned a big lesson in terms of socialization
A dog training other dogs is so important, that's exactly what a good dog mom do! Also what their dog siblings are meant to be, their first play mates and teach socializing.
I had a great Boxer-mix who gave birth to incrediblely intelligent pups and best of all is she had just the perfect temperament for a leader, calm, assertive and patient. Her pups were so well beheaved, I couldn't teach them better than she did.
She has passed, 4 years now, but I'll never forget what great dog she was.
I think dogs are taken from their siblings before they are socialised enough to be able to conduct themselves amongst other dogs.
First I want to give massive kudos to prince for being one of the most patient training dogs I’ve ever seen. I’ve had training dogs like prince but not with as much patience LOL. It’s ironic that people fear Dobermans when they have no idea how great they are. Second, I was so happy to find your channel because I train dogs the same way. I was very impressed by your method. It works every time.
Sounds like youre a Dobey lover, and I am too but people should fear Dobermanns; theyre extremely protective, noticing every change in the environment and being fiercely protective of their territories and owners / pack. They require good trainers / owners, or else they will rule their pack/territory.
People don't fear Dobermans. They fear untrained Dobermans. The same as Pitbulls. You don't know how well the dog got trained.
@@ENFPerspectives you shouldn't be fearful, you should respect their capabilities (not like bro i respect how gnarly you fight bro, always blood with you. But more like I respect what you can do) and learn to handle them. With that type of respect you'll learn more about the individual dog than being fearful, knowledge can be used as prevention or remedy of potential dangerous situations.
Im not saying this situation was dangerous or not, however i clearly see that the Trainer here knows a lot about his dog and there is a certain level of professional respect.
Yep. I'm scared of Dobermans. They just look fierce and scary. I heard they're very protective of their human(s), but Prince is changing my mind.
@@latonyanewsome0 They look less fierce with their original floppy ears. My brother's best friend had a Dobermann with uncropped ears, a very gentle giant. Even my brother, who is usually scared of dogs, walked Diego without hesitation. Big dog with a big heart.
I agree with EVERYTHING Joel says in this video and am so glad he posted it! My dog has pulled a "Prince" at the dog park on several occasions. It wasn't planned - I just couldn't get to him to stop him in time. My dog never injured another dog but it doesn't look good when it's happening. People that get it, get it. People that treat their dogs like their babies, don't get it and freak out. I love this video. Thank you Joel!

@@suescott5797 I just imagine a giant St. Bernard literally just sitting on that persons dog 😂
Prince has so much patience, he tolerated a lot from that little dog. You are in complete control of Prince, your recall was instant. I agree with you that Prince is a perfect teacher for this little dog. Prince is just what he needed. This little dog could get killed by another dog, his behaviour needed to change. Kudos to the owners for not giving up on their little guy!
I love that right before Prince lost it he was staring at him like: "I swear, you jump up to me ONE MORE TIME...!!!"
...And the dog did. And Price said enough and did his thing.
i dont think he lost it at all.
Thirty seconds into watching how reactive that Frenchie is over nothing I was like yeah that dog deserved every bit of the ass kicking Prince gave him. I'm glad you let it go on as long as you did. Some dogs just need a wake up call that only a controlled rough-up can give them.
My black lab tried to fight an Akita recently. My lab was at my parent's house (I wasn't there) when their neighbor kindly brought a package that was in my parent's front yard to their front door. My mom tried to grab my lab's collar when the neighbor and his Akita came to the door but it was loose and slipped off. That freedom and her reaction to it all no doubt escalated the situation but he still had no right to go after the Akita. And from what my mom told me the Akita, which is 8 years younger and, you know, an Akita lol, gave him a big piece of humble pie. I was bothered at first when she told me but after a few minutes I was like you know what no one had to go to the vet and hopefully my lab will think twice before acting like an asshole again.
I'm not a dog trainer, but used to watch my Greyhound do this when we were at the dog park. He was super patient with annoying dogs but once he reached his limit he would put them in their place (just like in this video).
The first time he did it it was terrifying, but once we realized what was happening it was pretty cool ❤️
When a dog defends itself when bullied is right.
Even when you know it isn't dangerous/ real/ aggressive, it is still absolutely terrifying. It's a built in response I think. And I say that after shoving people out of the way and breaking up a pit off my gsd who was on her back not even defending herself and me vs aggressive pit while owner watched. White woman stupid getting mauled decision, but yeah. I've seen dogs so it since and I still get anxiety. Lizard brain stuff!
You have a dope greyhound!!
Awesome Method! I absolutely love your’s and Prince’s work as a team together with dogs.
Prince serving attitude adjustments with an amazing temperament. What a great job you did raising that dog.
Prince is handling this like a boss. Honestly Joel, he’s awesome.
When my dog was a puppy he came into our home where we already had an older female dog, he is a Spaniel and she was a Lurcher. She was rescue so we didn't know her background from a young age, but we trusted her to be around a puppy and I'm glad we did. Just as you say, she could sort him out when he was being an obnoxious brat better than we ever could. She never hurt him but when he was told, he was told and she helped him and me in so many ways and it opened my eyes to a stable dog schooling another dog. The Cane Corso lady I guess you mean is Senza Tempo Cane Corso, I've followed Rachel for a couple of years because she understands dogs too and makes some great educational videos. Thank you for sharing 💚
Your methods are very necessary and Prince does a damn good job
I think you’re talking about Senza Tempo and that makes me SO happy. You two are my absolute favorite educational dog channels!!
Yea I think he is too and yes!! They are both good and I think on the same page!
Yes me too! I watch both I wonder if that's how I came across Joel 🤔 I've been watching Rachel for years but Joel only this year
She also gives direct orders to her alpha dog to do the correction on another dog and the alpha does it. It's remarkable watching her work. She knows what's going on in her dog's minds and they know what's going on in hers.
Agreed
I had to reply to this comment. But senza is my favorite channel too. Greatful for Joel and Rachel
My cousin had a very reactive female Doberman. They brought a trainer over who had 2 GSD's. They were perfectly obedient, and when the Dobie started lunging and barking, the trainer gave them a single command and the GSD's got in her face and made her back down. Literally a single word; they were incredibly well-trained. This was quite a few years ago, and I'm not entirely sure what the followup was, but it definitely worked in that scenario!
All I see is healthy canine communication. That's exactly what happens in the wolf pack. Prince isn't issuing discipline, but teaching what is acceptable and not acceptable in the group, I'm happy I found your channel!
The bulldog is like a child who's never had boundaries and needed to learn. You're right about society today, indulging their kids and dogs and spoiling them so they can't deal with the real world. At some point, better to show them the world is tough so they can learn while still in a safe environment. I'm a new subscriber and love your style! Used to live in San Diego and I think I've guessed that's where you are? Looking forward to more!
You’re absolutely right about how we’ve become too ‘happy clappy’ with dogs.
I have rescue French Bulldog who is a unpredictably aggressive to people inc me.
I can not be soft with him, I have to be firm. It’s not cruel, I’m not mean. I can’t have a dog whose own actions/decisions are potentially going to result in him being put down.
You have to treat a dog, like a dog.
I really enjoy your methods - I wish you were in the UK 😊
Many thanks for sharing your sessions / videos
I've never seen a dog trainer use a dog to train other dogs. You are the first person I've ever seen do it, but it seems so effective. You definitely seem like you know what you're doing and I think you have a point with saying a dog can train another dog better than a human can. I'm very glad I stumbled upon your channel and I have been binge watching a ton of your videos today.

Dude, old school trainers always train dogs with other dogs. Farm dogs are literally dogs that are trained by the packs of dogs, same goes for all the other kinds of working dogs except for the specilised military and police dogs that are meant to work as loners. Housedogs aren't loners, they can most certainly be trained with other dogs. And let me say this out loud, this Doberman of yours is an extremely well trained dog. You don't even need one that well trained to train other dogs. Your approach is 100% what farmers have been using for hundreds of years.
I have a pitbull mix who is the sweetest, sweetest dog that I ever had. I went to a friend's house who had a little frenchie who was not much more than a year old. She and my dog played were playing. She initiated the bite face play which my dog never did previously. She would get worked up.I would call my dog back to sit with me because I was not comfortable. I left the room and I heard squealing and my dog not in an aggressive way but during the course of play made a bite mark in her face. It literally healed over in a matter of hours. After the incident, they both got up on the couch, laid next to each other in complete peace. She was not afraid of him.Nothing was in the mean way but she stopped the super aggressive play.
I'm a Trainer in Australia and I do this with dogs! Hooray that you are showing people that this works! Love your videos!
The more I binge your videos the more it teaches me about my own life. God bless you my friend!
That was amazing. Prince is so cool. I would love to see Joel train his own dog. That would be so interesting.
AMAZING!! The difference in that little dog was incredible!
I love how you use other animals to check each other. it makes way more sense. dogs need to know their place, and should be confident.
dogs are all about hierarchy, and territory.
Holy crap I've never seen anything like this before man like just wow!!! That was absolutely incredible seeing how that dog changed before and after that correction from prince. Good on you man!!!
What’s so sweet, is after he is calm, the other furbies are now like “hey there dude, let’s be friends!” When they clearly kept their distance cuz they knew he was looking for trouble. Til Prince, behaved, princely.
I LOVE seeing a trainer take advantage of this method! I've owned a lot of dogs and I've literally said, more times than I can count, the exact same things you've mentioned in this video. People will get scared when they see my 6 year old Rottweiler correct my 1 year old pitbulls, but I always say "don't worry, she's just teaching them what's ok and what's not."
Love watching Prince work. Amazing as ever Joel.
OMG, this is my daughter's Frenchton to a tee. Whenever it's over here acting crazy, sometimes attacking my neighbor's larger dogs they teach it a free lesson in humility. This always ends quickly with a 15lb Frenchton on her back submitting. No injuries just larger dogs teaching a bully what's up. Great video.
That was awesome! An instant major change. And some people would say the dog was traumatized but that's not the case because he's play bowing within minutes. This frenchie looks like a lot of fun. Also, after you gave Prince some love he had a little more pep in his step. He definitely feeds off that praise.
Makes total sense to get your dog to train another one. When you watch dog rescues on YT it's often the other rescue dogs who help the new (often injured and traumatised) dog come out of its shell and relax and settle. Its the other dogs that restore the injured dog's faith in humans and in life. Amazing to watch your sessions. Subscribed!!

@@MrB590 10:38
I work at a dog day care and we have some dogs that are good at correcting and have good recall. We’ll make groups with 1 or 2 dogs that are pushy and overstimulated and add one of our corrective dogs, it’s awesome to see the change once they get corrected. A lot of the time the corrections from staff will only be surface level, but the correction from another dog usually sticks and we see improvements in behavior as they continue to come to our facility.
Awesome video by the way! I love seeing this sort of training, I wish more trainers implemented dog on dog training.
Yeah you’ve gotta be firm with dogs, that’s mammalian language. You mentioned that as a society we’re too soft with dogs, but the crucial thing is that we’ve gotten soft because our examples of “firmness” were in actuality abuse. However, you and Prince know what respectful firmness is, a communication of certainty and confidence as apposed to cruelty. And also, OF COURSE a dog would be better at teaching another dog social skills, so I absolutely love this.
Agreed. I feel like, in rejection of how older generations have standardised the "abuse method", Society is now overcompensating by being overly soft. after generations of abuse and being overly hard, now we're actively avoiding it by being overly soft instead. we went from One extreme to another, and Society just can't seem to find a stable and working middle ground method.
@@krysmun I think they found the right balance with the kids born in the late 80s and early 90s. I was hit when I was raised but not "abused". I never went to school with bruises or anything like that but if I did something wrong or wouldn't listen I got smacked, when I was young it was on the butt and when I was a bit older it was the back of the head and one time and one time only it was in the face but I was 16-17 at the time and looking back I think I deserved it.

@@Yzandros666 Go read the book "A Child Called "It"". That's abuse, what happened to me was discipline. There's a huge difference between the two. The problem is the distinction was lost, now everything is abuse and the only form of discipline is taking away a cell phone so the child can whine and cry for 10 minutes and get it right back. Look at the people born pre-1960 they were hit with rulers by their teachers and they weren't complaining and it wasn't considered abuse.
Abuse: Hitting a child with a closed hand
Discipline: Hitting a child with an open hand
Abuse: Come home from work mad and hit a child
Discipline: Child doesn't does something and gets hit with an open hand
Prince's behavior is spectacular. You should be very proud of Prince and your own ability to train dogs.
When you said he "uses the other dogs however he wants" resonated with me, cause that's what my dog Katara does and I thought I was being too forceful. Honestly, you've given me the confidence to know that what and how I've felt about it all these years is correct and that society is wrong. THANK YOU I will start implementing the corrections more hardcore because that is what she needs to be able to have dog friends and be friendly to other dogs and stop terrorizing them. Also, so she stops putting herself in dangerous situations.
I'm going to guess she's from the southern water tribe. The isolation is real. :(
In all seriousness, good luck!
It's the same thing with kids. Thiis modern plastic wrapped, soft, weak culture tells parents it's wrong to spank kids or other things that would make them cry. It's ridiculous. As long as one disciplines with the right intention - to instruct, correct and as a last resort, it doesn't become abuse. Sometimes tough cases require tougher dealings then they improve, and you won't have to correct as harshly because the kid or the dog learns from their mistakes.
@@CrypticHowl The trainer says in his narration that Prince does not hurt the other dogs, just shows them that their behavior is unacceptable. He also explicitly says that E-collars and prong collars "ruin" dogs because they cause them to associate other dogs with pain. This video is not an endorsement of using physical pain to discipline dogs. Children, likewise, should not be made to associate their parents with physical pain. There are ways to discipline children and help them learn to regulate their own behavior that don't involve hitting them. In fact, numerous studies have shown that children who are spanked act out more and have more difficulty regulating their behavior than children who are not spanked.
Prince was the first to notice that one of his pack was left behind in the gated area and went back for them. True alpha
actually top beta. His human master is the alpha, but I get your point.
@@Gizziiusa b-b-but the internet said that that betas were soy boy slight-shouldered weenies... is my whole life. Prince could never 🥲
Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.
The interaction is just perfect. Prince corrects him, the trainer says “ok, that’s enough” prince walks away and instantly the yellow lab comes up to the little dog and lets him know that he is still safe and there is no need to get worked up anymore. Awesome 👏

I have a GSD/Lab mix who I've had for over a year now, he is 3, and I got him from the shelter. His name is Bear.
We just recently got a GSD puppy that's 9 weeks old now (Baloo), and I 100% let my older dog correct him when needed. He's never been too rough, just enough to tell the pup he's had enough, and to see how well the puppy listens is just mind-blowing. Baloo pouts for a bit then goes and gets a toy instead 😂 I think it's amazing! I've watched your channel for the last year since I got Bear, incase he had any behavior issues, but luckily who ever his family was before the shelter did an amazing job with him. Wish I knew who they were!
I had a beautiful 18 month old shepherd who needed a companion. I got my 4 month old boxer, and it was a thing of beauty to watch her train him. We even felt sorry for him now and again. Every time we corrected him, she would reinforce it, just a tap on his head but he got it. It was like not having a puppy in the house, and at a training session the trainer used him as a "perfect behavior" dog. If they were in the wild, that is how they would learn.
Prince had ENOUGH of that bulldog jumping in his face! What a patient, handsome boy he is. Good job Prince!
I’ve been in to using other dogs for over 10 years and have always told people about this method and I’m glad to see you’ve got the sense that many haven’t to do this form of training
Dog fixed what man couldn't fix, beyond Extreme excitement. He does a great job but there are times where only dogs or canine mothers can handle business. This Little guy was too much for anyone.
I whole heartily agree with the “Prince” corrections. I adopted a standard Golden Doodle, whom has similar behaviors to the Frenchie. I am seeking the right “pair” for a good “put my dog in place” session, that I know he deserves, by the way he behaves. Because of his size, it’s challenging to find the right circumstances. I am nervous just to let him out at a dog park, knowing he will be corrected, and cause a fuss. I feel as though I would be being rude to the other “patrons”, since I know he will get, and needs a “smack down”. I have been working with him for a few months, with a pincher collar. He is better… but I know he needs the correction by the real deal, a “Prince”. I am just an average person with basic skills trying to deal with this 5 year old dog who everyone else gave up on cause he needs work. Thank you for sharing this insightful video and message🙏🏼
"You wanna ruin a dog? Put a prong collar on it"
If you have local doggie boarding/daycare facilities it could be beneficial to ask the managers there if they have an even tempered, no-nonsense dog that could help with his corrections, specifically their own dog such as this trainer uses his personal dog. My manager did that for me when i as a caretaker needed to learn the difference between aggression and corrections, and I'm sure someplace like that will be willing to help. Instead of a dog park opt to find a licensed trainer who can not only provide a safe experience but teach you a bit about dog behavior and what's happening so it doesn't seem so scary in the moment. Best of luck!!
Klasse! Du sprichst das aus was der Kern des Problems ist-Die vermenschlichung von Hunden und der mangelden Erziehung&Sozialisierung
Amazing session! What a huge change almost immediately. Good to see healthy corrections amongst dogs, it’s a rarity at dog parks I visit. Thank you!
How Prince was dealing with him during the first meet was so great. So tolerant. But then he had enough, obviously lol. Love that boy!
Wow Prince is a GOOD dog!! The way he backs off immediately is so impressive
We adopted a puppy and she constantly nips at the face and is just a jerk. Our dog was just raising her head to get away but after 30 minutes of her doing it she corrected her and she’s left her alone since. At first I thought she attacked her but watching your video made me realize it was a dog on dog correction which is what she needed. 💗
An important word that hasn’t been mentioned by you or your viewers is “consequences”. This dog, along with many others you’ve trained, had to learn the consequences of his actions because he’d never been properly socialized with other dogs as you pointed out.
Prince has a great temperament & seems to understand his “job” perfectly. BTW, all your dogs are wonderful.
The only time I’ve personally encountered a Doberman was years ago when we were fishing at a state park along a river shore when a dog started barking fiercely at us; but thankfully it was in a fenced yard & also tethered to a lead. A half hour later we were a long way downriver from there when my boyfriend said “don’t move, the Doberman is behind you”. At first I froze, but it was clear it was just looking for affection when she laid down next to me for belly rubs & played fetch, then walked with us for awhile. It was the most magical kind of encounter that I’ll never forget.
Prince is so amazing. I’m in absolute awe of that dog , his control, temperament, everything about him. Good boy Prince!!!
Prince is truly a superstar! The truth with Prince is so similar to what I have seen with horses. I have trained and ridden horses my whole life, and I understand exactly what you’re saying that sometimes the animal in need of training needs another animal of their type to teach proper etiquette. Horses DEFINITELY learn how to behave from other horses, and having a senior, higher horse correct a younger aggressive horse for example is a crucial lesson. It’s one of the many reasons why locking up a horse alone in a stall with no paddock time and no experiences with other horses - not unlike dogs being crated for hours and never living and learning around other dogs - creates distorted and unhappy animals.
WOW what a fabulous video, I love your comments too on how we should be with our dogs, we're to soft and it's creating anxiety and stress in our pets, watching the natural order of Prince telling that little dude how things work at his house was excellent and look how different the Frenchie was, he needed that, he needed to be put in his place and Prince was perfect, well done all involved and I hope the owners and their little dude doggy are living a more stress free happier life 🐾🐾
This was fantastic man! I swear every time I watch your videos I wish I lived near by to bring my dog. Your work is remarkable. I love the fact you bring realness and natural methods to solve these problems.
Wow! By far one of my favorite videos! Francis was definitely a rude boy with zero manners...until he met Prince! Sorry Joel, no questions from me, your assessment was spot on and so was Prince's (who definitely wasn't going to bite down on the bully). Truly amazing to watch Francis actually taking the time to think twice afterwards, let's not forget the other dogs (Prince's backups) their input after the fact added to Prince's successful correction, Francis learned a lot in this session. Thank you to the owners for bringing him to Beckman's!
I grew up with horses. Horses check and teach each other from foal hood. I have to confess, it NEVER occurred to me that this 100 percent should be a primary method in dog training.
You have just taught me about corrections! I had no idea that is what our new puppy needed. She is a JERK to her brothers and when they would try to correct her we would intervene thinking they are being aggressive. Thank you so much for explaining this.
I love how the Pyr's, and the lab, were constantly checking on the little bully. Especially once he changed his attitude and when he came out of the pool. They were all making sure he was ok and were also reinforcing the lessons Prince gave him. In my opinion, dogs are the best trainers of other dogs. And I think it is best to keep puppies with their mom and litter mates until they are 4 months old (depending on the breed) as these are things they learn right from the beginning. Social behaviours for dogs are hard to teach if you're not a dog.
8 weeks is pretty young to get a pup. That’s the average age in Australia. It would be great to get them later when mum and litter mates had time to get social behaviours. 👌🏽
I love that while Francis' behavior has visibly improved A LOT, his spark, curiosity and playfulness are still completely intact. He no longer is all up in other dogs faces like a lil jerk and clearly more careful about how he approaches the dogs, but not timid, not scared, not traumatized even a bit. I think in the end he actually got much more of the play that he craved, so not being a jerk might end up being a self-rewarding behavior.
Just starting the video and just started watching your channel. Im 63 and had dogs my entire life. I had a Doberman and they are one of the best dogs to own. It’s all how your raise them. You can see that Prince is a very stable dog that has all the trust and respect for his owner. Prince is working with the owner and corrects the other dog. I just got a stray German shepherd mix 9months. Very strong headed. My 11 yr GSP is just like Prince. He helps me out more than you can imagine. And is see another side of my GSP that is awesome. He communicates with me working the the shepherd. Sounds weird but true. Meaning he reads me and stays with the shepherd correcting her. I love dogs! You respect them and they will respect and love you unconditionally just like they say!
Back when i had my Doberman my cousin had a pit bull and he was one of these bad ass owners that wanted a tuff dog image. My Dobie was the opposite! The Pit kept pushing my dog until he did a back flip[ and pinned the pit down and barked ferociously in the pits face and then let him up in the pit stopped antagonizing my Dobie. Your are absolutely right about todays world. I dont let my dogs get away with bad behavior. People have said that i should get my dogs harnesses. I feel that Harnesses are for working and they want to pull, like sled dogs.
No questions. This was complete knowledge in one video! Poor Meisha getting left behind in the pasture 😆 Bless her, she was so happy when her buddies showed back up!
Hahaha she was standing all alone in the middle of the pasture! 🤣🤣🤣
This session is worth every penny for the owners! They’re going home with a totally different dog because of Prince’s correction and that’s freaking awesome!!!
Love your videos! I began training dogs, as a child, at about 10. I'm 52 now and still love to train and work with dogs. So many things, you talk about, and demonstrate, I've learned, for watching dogs interact and working with them. People have said I'm not doing it right, but often times, dogs have no social skills and the best way to learn, is from another dog. Great job!! You do awesome work and are teaching others, about dogs, their behavior, and teaching them.
You’re so right about dogs training other dogs. Got my dog (frenchie pug mix) as a puppy and he grew up with an older, extremely well trained dog, and also met many other dogs and he was corrected multiple times as he grew up. It was so important to his development
I really don’t think even some trainers couldn’t do this. You really need to know real dog behavior. And I think this guy is amazing. I get why STCC recommended this channel and had nothing but great things to say. I’m just in awe.
I don't know which was more impressive, the immediacy of that Frenchie's attitude shift or the immediacy of Prince's 'out' response. Great to watch two master trainers work!
You and Prince just saved that dogs life, cos if he tried that nonsense on some other dog he's done. Prince was amazing. Perfect pressure applied, immediately let go upon command. Absolutely amazing.
I just happen to fall upon your videos after watching a bunch of dog training videos, and yours is by far the best in showing and explaining situations. Others just explain with no visual practice, but you show us exactly how to correct them with real situations. I appreciate your videos so much!
