Update as of Thursday December 15th. I am the owner you see in the video. The training happened a week ago. WHAT a difference! Henry and I have been hitting the dog park regularly since the training, practicing the moves and commands. I can now frequently (not always but we're just getting started) call him off of a dog he's being too rough with using just a firm "LEAVE IT. Now Henry is actually recognizing when it's time to back off with more aggressive dogs - now THAT's wizardry!
I watched this video and I could see after Prince went after him his whole demeanor had changed. Your dog is so cute and playful and fun but he just needed to learn when to stop. Great dog and I'm so glad that you got that taken care of. Your dog makes me want to get another dog.
@@ckelley1234 is 10 months old and is pushing 80 lb believe it or not. I knew that I had to get a handle on him before he got any bigger. Speaking of which, you would not believe how easy he is to walk now with a loose leash and Joel's recommended gentle leader headhalter.
Hello again, this is the owner you see in the video. It's been almost exactly three months since Henry and I met with Prince and his helper Joel the Dog Wizard. (Sorry Joel... couldn't resist :-)). Just last evening an owner at the dog park commented on how gentle Henry is. How's THAT for a progress report! Henry, at one year old, is still a puppy in many ways, but he is consistently playing nicely and appropriately with other dogs. Can't overstate what a positive difference it made spending an hour with the Dog Wizard!
I enjoyed this video. I’m going to try this with my dog. He does all the same things. Marking with pee and poop, even licking others pee and he’s pushy.
Prince seems to know how to deal with every situation and dog correctly, he’s like a teacher. Very wise dog, improving lives of other dogs and their owners
@@pmoney4986 Nah, Andrew Tate (no clue about Tristan) just seems insecure and puts on a facade. He does say a few good things here and there and does inspire a lot of men to do their best, but shit, even I could do that if given the opportunity.
Totally agree. And when you get a doodle you don't expect to get a hyperactive, pushy, annoying dog. Good for him to come to Joel when he got a dog that was a whole lot more than he was prepared for!
@@nixe4912 It doesn't appear that the guy is physically prepared to deal with this behavior. Breeders can't lay on the couch and just expect things to happen. I despise trophy breeding shite by the way.
@@chevy383jt Doodles look so cute and people will always want them. Of course the owner wasn't physically prepared for this behaviour, the dog's looks create an expectation of very different behaviour. But once Lon realised he had a problem he got help. Here is a man who went on youtube, confessed he couldn't deal with his dog's quirks, was honest and humble about it. That takes courage which I admire and hope you do too. You and I may agree on back yard breeders, trophy breeders etc, but this is a dog and an owner doing their best with the cards they were dealt.
@@chevy383jt Yeah, I have a doodle myself (very small version) but unfortunately the designer tag has meant that not too many people are really prepped for what it takes to look after them, and sadly breeders have a lot to answer for by not telling enough and instead coming up with designer label selling points. "Little to not shedding? GREAT, but let's not say a word about *any* coat care at all". "Look at this adorable fwuffy face, let's not mention it is a combo of TWO highly energetic and intelligent hunting/retrieving dogs and therefore need to know what you're doing with training". I give credit to this man for doing his best, he'll go far for putting all the extra effort in and those oversights he made originally will be less and less drastic because of it.👍
As the owner of three large dogs, knowing when to step in and correct a behavior is key to harmony. This owner now knows what to watch for and when to step in so he can have the dog park experience he seems to want. Prince is such a good teacher, as are you, thanks for another helpful video. I like the “Dog “Wizard” it suits you!😊
100% this. Also starting in early interactions is important, I work with dogs and a lot of problems develop because certain behaviours are let slide in puppyhood and develop into much less "cute" behaviours when the dog is fully grown or around a less familiar dogs. Also confusing for the dog lol.
This is a great comment, I'd like it twice if I could. So many people get stuck and don't know what to do, Joel helps them get tools to manage behaviors.
Once a doodle tried to bully all the dogs in my local dog park until he got to mine. Now, I have a little 11 pound miniature poodle, neutered, but he takes no BS from any dog, big or small. He scared the doodle off, he was the only dog in that park who did. It fascinated me that the size of a dog does not matter when it comes to courage.
Prince had his hackles up long before he corrected the Doodle. The doodle enjoys egging on other dog's. I'm guessing when he's excited he wants something to chase. He may like being chased thus trying to elicit a reaction. He learnt other dog's aren't toy's or retrieving items and life's not a highway. Good video Joel the 'Dog Wizard':)
I love that he called you Joel the Dog Wizard. It was the least expected and most accurate thing he could say. Cause people's minds do get blown by your knowledge and techniques. Thanks for posting these informative and helpful videos!
Despite the pushy behavior, that dog seems like such a great dog with a lot of play in him! It is also always interesting to me to see pushy dogs who aren't actually dog aggressive when things escalate! Especially when Prince corrected him, I was surprised (and glad) that he didn't fight back and instead opted to go to the ground a bit. One of my dogs definitely would have taken the bait and fought back more, but would have eventually submitted! I need a dog like Prince, who isnt out to mess other dogs up, to teach my dog boundaries better than I can on my own!! Great video as always!!
You’re right he’s a good dog, just needs some guidance from an adult dog about how the world work. Most young people/dogs learn tough lessons that make them better.
@BDTraining I almost hope to see a series of follow-up clips from the dogs you see! This dog is a great example, I would love to see a video of him a year from now and see his change! I love that his owner was wanting to learn the correction, but the challenge is being able to get it right back at home when you (Joel) aren't there to help! The timing is so tough to catch with this!
@@BDTraining yes I agree there should be boundaries but when we bring our dogs to dog parks it's for them to play. If they are not type of dogs who like to play they should stay away from dog parks. Walking dogs around normal park where there are other dogs is enough for non-playing dogs to socialize by letting them say "hi" to other dogs. Happened 1 time a dog like Prince at the dog park who did not wanna play and tried to correct my dog but it's him who got corrected and flew between his owner legs. My dog is a Samoyed he like poking like that ti show he wanna play. Doodles and Poodles do the same and after poking they start wrestling for fun. These is how these dogs show they wanna play.
@@SJane3, remember the videos are of people that come long distances from all over. They have the training and go home and go on with their lives. I would find this would be near impossible to do with his schedule.
You really can see the cogs turning. After Prince's first correction he goes right back to dad and wanders around right there close for a bit, like "everything I knew was a lie".
Man that dog was SHOOK from that correction from Prince. It’s so crazy how effective just one lesson from Prince can be. My dog is also great at correcting dogs who bother him with humping or being pushy but he’s only 30 lbs so I’m not exactly out there letting him train other dogs lol. He’s great at teaching puppies his size manners though!
To me, the mark of a successful training session is an owner who acknowledges the problem with their dog and the part they have played in it. If they are willing to listen, learn, and apply what they are learning without making things emotional or personal, they will succeed. Great video, as always.
Man, it's so interesting watching prince do his work. He is so gentle with them. There was literally no aggression from him that was even slightly over the top. I could watch this dog in action all day. Also the slow motion play of micro expressions are really appreciated.
He's very playful too, but he protects his boundaries and feels no grudge afterwards. Very good dog to teach the problematic dogs manners without traumatizing them.
@@CubeBizz maybe you should emphazise more on the if part of my statement. Let me explain again: If you let an aggressive stronger dog hit on a weaker dog, it wont end well for the weaker dog. This dog was not aggressive. This dog was not a bully.
Kudos to him and I'm really happy that he felt more comfortable and confident in how to step in and provide the right correction. He's awesome. Also, I feel more comfortable and confident about when to step in with my dog from this. I think watching other people learn can help me a lot.
I See these giant Doodles that act just like this at the dog parks frequently. They are large, full of jumpy energy, and somewhat bossy. Too bad Prince isn't there to correct them!
I'm pretty scared of dogs, but watching these videos have taught me a lot about how to analyze the behavior and it's really helpful in dispelling the fear. Thanks!
Don't be scared of dogs, but never trust a strangers dog. I've had a few close calls that made me realize some dogs and owners are bad. I'll never trust Pitbulls. Statistically speaking, those land sharks are responsible for the majority of all dog attacks on people and other animals. They're more likely to inflict serious/fatal injuries when they do maul you.
This is honestly such a great video for dog owners to pay attention to. An invaluable tool to correct behavior for a young adolescent dog. To me this just makes so much more sense, from a common sense standpoint, than the modern, mainstream, only positive treat focused training ideology. Comparing it to teaching a young man is well put. Sometimes a young man will only react to/respect being taught a lesson with force. You can only hope the lesson is taught by someone with a calm, strong, seasoned approach who knows how to deal with a headstrong young guy. Thanks for the video Joel.
This was really great to see. I have a lab/GSD mix, 2 years old, and she does the exact same thing with poking with the nose, which other dogs often find annoying - and it quickly moves on from there. She can seem a bit like a bully, or rough - like she doesn't know any boundaries. Will for sure try this out next time we meet with familiar dogs, in a similar setting. Thank you Joel.
Your lab just want to play. We have a huge dog park (old farmer field). Many type of dogs there and the dogs who poke with nose are Poodles, Doodles and my Samoyed. They do that because it's their way to show that they wanna play. Weirdly my dog do not poke very small dogs. He play with them gently or simply ignore them and go play with bigger ones. The poking might be annoying for other dogs but the ones I saw that were annoyed by that were not socialized or just did not want to play. At that point when an owner see his/her dog that does not want to play they should leave the dog park. Dog parks are the place for dogs to play with other dogs not to just walk around and get mad if a dog wanna play with them. Your Lab is perfectly fine. I am sure of that.
@lukos3211 Dude you missed the entire point of this video in telling someone that her dog is perfectly fine doing what they said in the video could get them hurt if they do it to a more aggressive dog. Plus you don’t want your dog being an ahole.
Prince is THE MAN ! We have had many dobermans over the years, and I must say, they are the most intelligent, loyal, sensitive, loving, and protective dog breeds, period. We have also had German Short Haired Pointers, German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, Australian Shepherd Dogs, and Border Collies. All were wonderful and amazing, but none of them compared to the Dobermans.
Great video. Great to see that the owner is actively participating in leading/training/correcting his dog. I've had run ins with dogs similar to this, but with owners who couldn't be bothered to see it was not okay behaviour, and just chalked it up to "ohhh he just wants to play... he's just being blah blah...". Good on ya, Sir! Your dog has a great future!
So helpful. I love how the body language is always explained. Owners need to know what their dogs are really saying with other dogs because not many of us speak 'dog'-- which is 99% non-verbal. Thanks for slowing down the video and explaining, and interpreting in your other videos too.
Prince is my favorite dog I never met. When he showed that obnoxious French bulldog what was what I cracked up. That good patient boy deserves a vacation. He’s the best.
Love this. This is exactly how we trained our Great Dane, Charles. Our Husky Shephard, Luna, is our version of your Prince. This was like watching the experience all over again but with different dogs. Great work, love what you do for the dog owner community.
This was such a pleasant video to watch,although the nose buts are a little naughty you have to admit it’s he’s so cute! Prince Charming did a fantastic job at correcting him!! 😂👍💯
The remarkable thing that needs more comment from you is how many times about 7 I counted Prince took and responded quietly to him saying dude, dude, dude, and then he went for him for good. Absolutely spectacular and beautiful to watch. Nowhere did Prince want to harm him whatsoever.
Great correction by Prince. These are my favorite videos where Prince really shines in his corrections and patience. The "Dog Wizard" with another great video
3:47 check out how Prince comes back to the dog. Like a “You get it now, or you still don’t understand?” Prince reminds me so much of Preacher from Senza Tempo. Preacher is more No Nonsense at all but just how they both carry themselves.
Prince is more of a Madmartigan than Preacher. Preacher is a true alpha male who's serious all the time, while Madmartigan is a prancy happy boi who knows how to get serious when needed.
It's amazing how you can see Henrys brain rebooting after Prince told him off! Really a "wow, holy shit, darn" moment he really needed 😍 As you said, not a bad dog, not an aggressive dog, just needs to know he's not the big boss
Great session! My dog does the same behavior with younger dogs or submissive dogs, and I work with him on Joel’s techniques. Hard for me to get him, but I do eventually. Off the subject: I was thinking of Joel today while having the most beautiful walk with my dog on a lose leash. I think I saw it click in my dogs head today, “if I don’t pull, I get to keep on this nice calm walk without corrections “. The energy is good, calm.
My Saint Bernard is really well trained, and honestly he’s really overprotective but he’s the older brother type who makes sure all the other dogs are in check which I really respect and love about my dog
This was fascinating. By the 2 minute mark, Prince already had his hackles up, even though he was willing to play he knew the other dog was trouble. Then after the dog nipped him he actually took a second to shake it off - I'm curious about that - then went full out. And after that correction, Prince's hackles were down for the rest of the video. He is such a good team member for you!
Ever seen someone who knows how to fight take a moment to calculate and take in exactly what just happened before opening the can of whoop ass? That's what prince did lol
@@BDTraining One trait about Dobermans that puts them up there in the working class is that they think before acting. It looks like Prince gave him a few looks and clear messages to tone it down. And when the dog didn’t, Prince took a moment to size up the dog, thought about what Joel wants from him in that moment, and then did precisely what he was bred/trained for. It’s a working Doberman in it’s finest form. “A keeper of the peace”. That fluffy dog isn’t a lunatic, so I think Prince felt it was appropriate for a whooping. But I’ve also seen Prince size a dog up and just say “Nope, I’m not going to get in a fight with that Lunatic unless I absolutely need to.” And this is what I like about Joel and Prince, is that they don’t force unnecessary and potentially fatal fights. Bullies need a whooping, lunatics need to be locked up and avoided.
I loved this session! The guy was super chill and respectful of your expertise. Prince is the absolute star❤ I always support this channel , I think you’re doing the most amazing job with canine behavior.
I used to work at a doggy daycare and there were two cockapoos both siblings that would excessively bully dogs. One would muzzle punch whichever dog looked vulnerable (including my dog when I took him to work with me) while his sister would hump smaller dogs. They were such an issue that any behavioral reports we made would not make it to the owner. They never gave them advice on changing their dogs, they just want their money. So seeing this makes it so important to understand how your dog is around other pups, especially in daycare. If they're causing havoc to other dogs it can get dangerous for them really fast and you need to take action immediately. Do not disregard bad behavior, it will only get worse until someone gets hurt.
This dog is such a pest, he really needed prince's strength and temperance. His entire brain rewired after it, immediately made him rethink his approach.
Pest? He is just a dog, he gives so much love to his owner, he just plays roughly, don't be so cruel to animals especially to people's animals who are being put online for us to learn. The only pests are humans who drain the planet and every resource they can get their hands on. Please be more considerate online.
@@LingaBirdie You speak more highly about dogs than your own species. Without humans, you wouldn't be watching this dog video on your handheld computer. Also, yes he was a pest. He needed to be put in his place. He is now a better dog.
@@LingaBirdie the dog was a pest as it was bothering every dog he encountered. I hope you include yourself as a human draining the earth of resources. What a nihilistic view of people.
@mhods4457 Humans are the only pests in this world they only take and never give back to the planet. Dogs are animals they lack the capacity we have for logical and critical thinking. We should be more empathetic towards animals than humans who know exactly what they do and they just dont care. Thats why i think that you were very judgemental to a dog that is an animal and doesn't know better. It's the same thing with kids, I would never name a kid a pest, their brains are literally underdeveloped. Your comment can make the owner of the dog really hurt especially when they try to learn and need support. There are 1000 ways to describe something and u choose the rudest one. Apart from that, I don't wanna fight or argue, I just said we should be more considerate. If you don't wanna think about it it's your choice and the matter is closed.
@@LingaBirdie Just like people, dogs have personalities. And sometimes, dogs are simply jerks. They will pester, prod, or even bully other dogs or animals. This is cold hard fact why deny it. And yes, with intelligence comes responsibility and expectations. But with intelligence also comes greed and jealously. We are not perfect, and neither are dogs. And just for the record, I have 5 dogs, 2 cats, and a Bearded Dragon.
So glad you made the comparison with the young men. It is exactly the same and can be just as easily handled with some maturity and experience. I had to learn as a young man. It's good for both dogs and boys.
Great session. I've been around dogs and trained them my whole life. Still learning and this helps. Two things I will say talk to your dog. Some people feel silly you need to get over that. They will eventually understand way more than you would imagine and at the least they get tone related to the moment. The second thing is in control in a good way. Don't be afraid to make a scene if by that it means raising your voice correcting and being in control. We have such a gorked out world anymore where some sad deprived people don't understand discipline and correction. That's fine let them think whatever they want they're the ones that are screwed up not you.
I love that other dog. Prince is so badass. I love his demeanor….he knows he owns that shit. I’ve been around a few Dobermans for extended periods of time, and while they were really good dogs and trained well, they did not have the calmness and steadiness of prince. So impressive. Good video as always
I absolutely love that you let your dog do this. It's so useful and people are so scared of using this technique, but my best trained dog also is phenomenal at bringing other dogs in line without actual fighting, just a good dog-to-dog lesson. Love to see it.
I like that the "correction" is not hitting the dog or popping the leash. it's literally just grabbing the collar, controlling the dog and making it sit. interrupting the behaviour and not allowing it. Never seen a correction done this way and I like it.
How well behaved is Prince??? Also very athletic. Great dog. I used to have a Labrador crossed with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. When dogs see 'red' they gain this different kind of strength. At home, all he wanted to do was eat, sleep and play (and I mean for hours)
The way you practice correcting dogs behavior is first class. I am 100% convinced that dogs learn so much from our Body language and soft but certain corrections. My male unneutered Ridgeback Boy is a calm and gentle giant- even with other unneutered Males who aren‘t too upset. Keep on doing your great Job - love from Germany!
This was an impressive video to watch! Prince's timing and level of correction is impeccable. I wish I could have my dog out there to learn from Prince. She's not a bully, but can get overwhelming in her play with other dogs at times. I learned a lot from this video on how to time corrections when playing gets too intense. Joel and Prince, come do an east coast tour!
Prince is like a true healer for other dogs. He meets other dogs where they are at and if they need to be regulated Prince will do that with appropriate energy. So awesome to watch ! If a child was doing this on the playground to other children - pushing, poking, harassing - an adult would put a stop to it, same concept with dogs. We have to set limits and boundaries with kids and dogs about what behavior is ok and what isn't. I love the owners desire and energy to learn and be better ! Bravo
Good man for stepping up to do what's best for his dog, as a fellow doodle owner (albeit a smaller variety) it's very sad when people aren't given the correct information about how much work they require both in physical care and training. This dog touched lucky to get such an owner, trainer and doggy teacher like Prince, best he learns via a smack rather than a full on beatdown.
Respect to that owner. I have a red fox lab who is just over one year old. I made a real conscious effort to socialise him when he was a puppy but I have noticed in the last 2 months he has become agitated around some dogs. I'd say 90% of dogs he meets he is super friendly but I guess he senses something from other dogs and as soon as they bark at him or gesture he wants to fly off and react. We will be getting him neutered soon but not for behavioural reasons but because he is constantly marking everything. In your experience do you think neutering would change his behaviour. Another excellent video, thank you.
100% neutering will help. Our fox red is as neutered and he stopped getting attacked by other male dogs almost immediately and he’s so much happier not trying to mate with every dog he comes across.
Dog on dog correction is some of my favorite. There is obviously risk but that comes with every kind of animal on animal training. It's a risk when people train dogs to hunt! Prince stops when you ask and that is most important. You always seem ready to step in to and that's admirable. "We gotta let him be a normal dog" is very well said. Dogs are bread to do work and work ain't always easy. Keep working hard but never let your guard down and I think this will work out ok. Also watching dog behavior has been really great for drawing them in my art so thank you for that!
After watching a few of these, you can just read the body language in the dogs. It’s incredible. Like you said in another, I’m surprised there aren’t more trainers who do it this way. But I think it’s probably because a lot of trainers don’t have this setup or the desire to deal with trouble dogs. Prince deserves a raise 😊
I had a troublesome dog years ago and I looked into dog body language and applied it at it worked. She was very aggressive by her food bowl and wouldn’t let anyone near so when she challenged me I’d stand my ground and show my teeth and growl until she backed down and it worked.
I have a dog that is very very friendly. I'll let my dog loose at the dog park, and she'll get humbled a couple times. After a couple times she does behave better. To manage my dog's excitement to be around other dogs, I've been teaching her to reign in her excitement by letter her know that I make the decisions. I think that it's helped so far!
I've been using Joel's method for getting from the car to the gate of the park, where you turn around and walk back towards the car when they aren't listening. It has helped my 9.5 month old black lab enter the park much calmer.
Prince is my favorite trainer. His demeanor is just impeccable. Henry seemed like just a goofball who plays a little too much. Great job to all humans and dogs in the video!
I've been watching a lot of your videos now and I'm now of the opinion that you're the best dog trainer I've seen on youtube. I'll be putting much of what you've taught to use with our fear aggressive pittie mix
Another happier ending! Also, Prince is just such a handsome, gorgeous dog. When he did the little play bow, it was so freakin’ cute, lol. Great teamwork again as always Joel and Prince!
I really like this owner. He was very good with following Joel’s instructions and you could tell he really wanted to learn more. Those are the owners that I really appreciate. They have a “problem child” to contend with but they are eager to make appropriate changes.
Love to see new videos Joel! With this video you helped me understand the way my male Amstaff lifts its behind when he poops. Next level of dominante! Love these videos! Love your work!
This dog is a lot like my dog. He’s matured a bit and we’ve done a lot of training, so he’s now not nearly as bad. We weren’t doing dog parks until his behavior improved!
Brilliant. Also, very nice to see a dog dad who is responsible and cares about their dogs social health. I live alone with a pittie. He is my world. This is something that concerns me with my kiddo because we never really get any time with other dogs or socialization. This was a great video! Thanks for sharing.
The words “he’s changed now” really interests me. I never had a dog growing up, and when me and my wife adopted, we got a 4 year old terrier. He was smart, really well behaved, and usually very passive with other dogs but he would bark at tall men (the people at the Humane society did believe he had ptsd potentially from former abuse) but he would avoid trouble with other dogs. It wasn’t until after a couple of random encounters where we were walking him, and an off leash dog would jump on him and scare him, that I feel like he changed, but not for the better. Since getting him he got a lot better with humans, and a lot more willing to meet them and let them pet him, but whenever he sees a new dog that he didn’t meet prior to getting jumped by other dogs, he gets extremely alert and will scrape his feet, and even try to lunge at them if they get too close. We’ve tried reintroducing him back into the dog parks to let him get used to socializing again, but I get extremely paranoid about if there’s a chance he might actually hurt another dog, so I’m always super watchful but I don’t really know how to determine if either of them are going to go too far and the last thing I want is to let it go too far Since watching this channel I really want to see if there are people in my area who can provide the same sort of training with a dog who can put him in his place in a controlled environment while not actually hurting him. We certified him on Petco’s Adult 1 and 2 courses prior to his change, he’s super smart and learns easy so I think a couple of these types of lessons would really do him some good in snapping him out of the state he gets in when he sees another dog these days, but it’s a really intimidating thought
Just some random advice as a pet sitter/walker who works with a lot of dogs - some traumatized, if you can find a group of people who will go on hikes or walks with dogs together that may be very helpful. When I have to introduce iffy dogs to each other I find that taking them on a walk together is the fastest way to build trust and it’s in a safe low energy context. At least 30-40 min At a time is a good amount to have a reasonable impact. If your dog walks alongside many different large dogs (even if it’s just 1 different large dog each time) he will eventually learn that large dogs are safe since he was able to walk next to them for so long with no repercussions. Best to keep the 2 dogs reasonably apart so your dog cannot lunge but still see the other dog nearby and as “part of the group.” Playtime with large (good natured) dogs is also a great opportunity for development but it does pose a higher risk that your dog can injure the other dog. I wouldn’t attempt that until he had more than several walks under his belt with larger dogs and was showing some improvement. Having him on leash during playtime can help with the safety factor though so you can quickly pull him away if he becomes fearful & aggressive.
Update as of Thursday December 15th. I am the owner you see in the video. The training happened a week ago.
WHAT a difference!
Henry and I have been hitting the dog park regularly since the training, practicing the moves and commands. I can now frequently (not always but we're just getting started) call him off of a dog he's being too rough with using just a firm "LEAVE IT.
Now Henry is actually recognizing when it's time to back off with more aggressive dogs - now THAT's wizardry!
I watched this video and I could see after Prince went after him his whole demeanor had changed. Your dog is so cute and playful and fun but he just needed to learn when to stop. Great dog and I'm so glad that you got that taken care of. Your dog makes me want to get another dog.
Good for you to take him to Joel & Prince! How old is your boy?
That’s amazing! Good for you! 🙌
@@ckelley1234 is 10 months old and is pushing 80 lb believe it or not. I knew that I had to get a handle on him before he got any bigger. Speaking of which, you would not believe how easy he is to walk now with a loose leash and Joel's recommended gentle leader headhalter.
Well done Lon and Henry!! You both were/are such a joy, and I'm so happy to hear how well you're doing!
The Dog Wizard strikes again! 💖
Hello again, this is the owner you see in the video. It's been almost exactly three months since Henry and I met with Prince and his helper Joel the Dog Wizard. (Sorry Joel... couldn't resist :-)).
Just last evening an owner at the dog park commented on how gentle Henry is. How's THAT for a progress report!
Henry, at one year old, is still a puppy in many ways, but he is consistently playing nicely and appropriately with other dogs. Can't overstate what a positive difference it made spending an hour with the Dog Wizard!
I'm so glad you've had great progress! It's good to know that people are still going strong. Have a great day/night sir!
Major W
You are a great man sir. Willing to learn AND adjust.
I enjoyed this video. I’m going to try this with my dog. He does all the same things. Marking with pee and poop, even licking others pee and he’s pushy.
That is great news! Congratulations
Prince seems to know how to deal with every situation and dog correctly, he’s like a teacher. Very wise dog, improving lives of other dogs and their owners
He’s cool!
He's a very well-adjusted dog. He doesn't mess with others and he doesn't take shit from others. He's simply a really good dog.
It's like a dog version of Andrew and Tristan tate

Of course the owner wasn't physically prepared for this behaviour, the dog's looks create an expectation of very different behaviour. But once Lon realised he had a problem he got help. Here is a man who went on youtube, confessed he couldn't deal with his dog's quirks, was honest and humble about it. That takes courage which I admire and hope you do too. You and I may agree on back yard breeders, trophy breeders etc, but this is a dog and an owner doing their best with the cards they were dealt.
So great to see an owner learning with enthusiasm.
A lucky dog to have such a master!
@@chevy383jt Yeah, I have a doodle myself (very small version) but unfortunately the designer tag has meant that not too many people are really prepped for what it takes to look after them, and sadly breeders have a lot to answer for by not telling enough and instead coming up with designer label selling points.
"Little to not shedding? GREAT, but let's not say a word about *any* coat care at all".
"Look at this adorable fwuffy face, let's not mention it is a combo of TWO highly energetic and intelligent hunting/retrieving dogs and therefore need to know what you're doing with training".
I give credit to this man for doing his best, he'll go far for putting all the extra effort in and those oversights he made originally will be less and less drastic because of it.👍
Lmao that dog is the friendliest happy go lucky bully I've ever seen.
he’s very enthusiastic! little dude just wasn’t fully aware of his own strength and needed to be taught some manners.
I like the dog owner. He really tries to understand what he has to do, how it works, not just copying some orders.
As the owner of three large dogs, knowing when to step in and correct a behavior is key to harmony. This owner now knows what to watch for and when to step in so he can have the dog park experience he seems to want. Prince is such a good teacher, as are you, thanks for another helpful video. I like the “Dog “Wizard” it suits you!😊
100% this. Also starting in early interactions is important, I work with dogs and a lot of problems develop because certain behaviours are let slide in puppyhood and develop into much less "cute" behaviours when the dog is fully grown or around a less familiar dogs. Also confusing for the dog lol.
I love how at 7:28 as soon as Joel grabs the dog, Prince immediately storms in to be sure that Joel is safe. Prince is just THE dog.
Prince came over with the quickness like "just say the word boss, I'm right here ready to go"
@@tm_predator9349prince is READY!! LOL
Not just that, he was watching the other dogs and policing them. What a dog
thnx! i didn't notice! way awesome!!!
false. prince was not coming to check on the mini dog.
What love about theses videos it show the reasonability shown by the owner to get help rather then surrender the dog or have it euthanized.
This is a great comment, I'd like it twice if I could. So many people get stuck and don't know what to do, Joel helps them get tools to manage behaviors.
Once a doodle tried to bully all the dogs in my local dog park until he got to mine. Now, I have a little 11 pound miniature poodle, neutered, but he takes no BS from any dog, big or small. He scared the doodle off, he was the only dog in that park who did. It fascinated me that the size of a dog does not matter when it comes to courage.
I hope that this can be true for women that need to correct aggressive males without being seriously hurt.
@@LethalRain9 😂😂😂
Poodles are poodles whatever their size. They know in their bones that they are bigger than any dog.
This owner is awesome! You could tell he was really into the session and asked great questions.
This owner is awesome. Our 1 year old is a bold girl and it’s helpful to see how to work with her to keep her manners in check.
Prince had his hackles up long before he corrected the Doodle. The doodle enjoys egging on other dog's. I'm guessing when he's excited he wants something to chase. He may like being chased thus trying to elicit a reaction. He learnt other dog's aren't toy's or retrieving items and life's not a highway. Good video Joel the 'Dog Wizard':)
I noticed that. Prince was giving him the warning for ages but he just wasn't getting the message.
I love that he called you Joel the Dog Wizard. It was the least expected and most accurate thing he could say. Cause people's minds do get blown by your knowledge and techniques. Thanks for posting these informative and helpful videos!
Despite the pushy behavior, that dog seems like such a great dog with a lot of play in him! It is also always interesting to me to see pushy dogs who aren't actually dog aggressive when things escalate! Especially when Prince corrected him, I was surprised (and glad) that he didn't fight back and instead opted to go to the ground a bit. One of my dogs definitely would have taken the bait and fought back more, but would have eventually submitted! I need a dog like Prince, who isnt out to mess other dogs up, to teach my dog boundaries better than I can on my own!! Great video as always!!
You’re right he’s a good dog, just needs some guidance from an adult dog about how the world work. Most young people/dogs learn tough lessons that make them better.
@BDTraining I almost hope to see a series of follow-up clips from the dogs you see! This dog is a great example, I would love to see a video of him a year from now and see his change! I love that his owner was wanting to learn the correction, but the challenge is being able to get it right back at home when you (Joel) aren't there to help! The timing is so tough to catch with this!
@@BDTraining yes I agree there should be boundaries but when we bring our dogs to dog parks it's for them to play. If they are not type of dogs who like to play they should stay away from dog parks.
Walking dogs around normal park where there are other dogs is enough for non-playing dogs to socialize by letting them say "hi" to other dogs.
Happened 1 time a dog like Prince at the dog park who did not wanna play and tried to correct my dog but it's him who got corrected and flew between his owner legs. My dog is a Samoyed he like poking like that ti show he wanna play. Doodles and Poodles do the same and after poking they start wrestling for fun.
These is how these dogs show they wanna play.
@@lukos3211 How would you suggest that your idea be implemented and policed?
@@SJane3, remember the videos are of people that come long distances from all over. They have the training and go home and go on with their lives. I would find this would be near impossible to do with his schedule.
You really can see the cogs turning. After Prince's first correction he goes right back to dad and wanders around right there close for a bit, like "everything I knew was a lie".
Man that dog was SHOOK from that correction from Prince. It’s so crazy how effective just one lesson from Prince can be. My dog is also great at correcting dogs who bother him with humping or being pushy but he’s only 30 lbs so I’m not exactly out there letting him train other dogs lol. He’s great at teaching puppies his size manners though!
To me, the mark of a successful training session is an owner who acknowledges the problem with their dog and the part they have played in it. If they are willing to listen, learn, and apply what they are learning without making things emotional or personal, they will succeed. Great video, as always.
If only politicians could learn this.
If only politicians could learn this.
Freaking love, watching Prince do what he does best!❤
Man, it's so interesting watching prince do his work. He is so gentle with them. There was literally no aggression from him that was even slightly over the top. I could watch this dog in action all day.
Also the slow motion play of micro expressions are really appreciated.
He's very playful too, but he protects his boundaries and feels no grudge afterwards. Very good dog to teach the problematic dogs manners without traumatizing them.
there was no aggression of the so called bully dog either. If the "bully dog" was indead a bully dog, the prince dog would be a dead dog now...
@@makoko6812 that's like saying every human bully is a murderer, very ignorant statement
@@CubeBizz maybe you should emphazise more on the if part of my statement. Let me explain again: If you let an aggressive stronger dog hit on a weaker dog, it wont end well for the weaker dog. This dog was not aggressive. This dog was not a bully.
@@makoko6812 bully doesn't mean aggressive
Dogs are so intelligent and learn SO quickly! Love the owner being truly so humble 💕
Kudos to him and I'm really happy that he felt more comfortable and confident in how to step in and provide the right correction. He's awesome.
Also, I feel more comfortable and confident about when to step in with my dog from this. I think watching other people learn can help me a lot.
Now that dog has so much energy. Prince told him what's up very quickly. You could just see the other dogs whole mood change, that was incredible!
I See these giant Doodles that act just like this at the dog parks frequently. They are large, full of jumpy energy, and somewhat bossy. Too bad Prince isn't there to correct them!
I'm pretty scared of dogs, but watching these videos have taught me a lot about how to analyze the behavior and it's really helpful in dispelling the fear. Thanks!
Don't be scared of dogs, but never trust a strangers dog. I've had a few close calls that made me realize some dogs and owners are bad. I'll never trust Pitbulls. Statistically speaking, those land sharks are responsible for the majority of all dog attacks on people and other animals. They're more likely to inflict serious/fatal injuries when they do maul you.
I got over my fear of dogs last summer. When I went to go see my godfather , he has a shih tzu mix, and I became very comfortable with his dog
Too many puppies are trained to kill.
@@mufflertuesday my pitbull is the sweetest dog i have ever owned and he has never hurt anybody, hurt me, and yes, he is socially active
Maybe puppy dog helps evolving monkey level
This is honestly such a great video for dog owners to pay attention to. An invaluable tool to correct behavior for a young adolescent dog. To me this just makes so much more sense, from a common sense standpoint, than the modern, mainstream, only positive treat focused training ideology. Comparing it to teaching a young man is well put. Sometimes a young man will only react to/respect being taught a lesson with force. You can only hope the lesson is taught by someone with a calm, strong, seasoned approach who knows how to deal with a headstrong young guy. Thanks for the video Joel.
Brilliant, thank you Mr Beckman. And this dog owner was superb. We need more dog owners like him.
This was really great to see. I have a lab/GSD mix, 2 years old, and she does the exact same thing with poking with the nose, which other dogs often find annoying - and it quickly moves on from there. She can seem a bit like a bully, or rough - like she doesn't know any boundaries.
Will for sure try this out next time we meet with familiar dogs, in a similar setting.
Thank you Joel.
Your lab just want to play. We have a huge dog park (old farmer field).
Many type of dogs there and the dogs who poke with nose are Poodles, Doodles and my Samoyed.
They do that because it's their way to show that they wanna play.
Weirdly my dog do not poke very small dogs. He play with them gently or simply ignore them and go play with bigger ones.
The poking might be annoying for other dogs but the ones I saw that were annoyed by that were not socialized or just did not want to play. At that point when an owner see his/her dog that does not want to play they should leave the dog park.
Dog parks are the place for dogs to play with other dogs not to just walk around and get mad if a dog wanna play with them.
Your Lab is perfectly fine. I am sure of that.
@lukos3211 Dude you missed the entire point of this video in telling someone that her dog is perfectly fine doing what they said in the video could get them hurt if they do it to a more aggressive dog. Plus you don’t want your dog being an ahole.
He's a beautiful dog, just very playful. Good owner for recognizing the issue and getting it fixed.
Great video Joel! Love these dog behavior videos that include “how to” corrections! Thank you!
This felt like great practice identifying when I would step in, and then getting Joel's opinion.
Prince is THE MAN ! We have had many dobermans over the years, and I must say, they are the most intelligent, loyal, sensitive, loving, and protective dog breeds, period. We have also had German Short Haired Pointers, German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, Australian Shepherd Dogs, and Border Collies. All were wonderful and amazing, but none of them compared to the Dobermans.
Great video. Great to see that the owner is actively participating in leading/training/correcting his dog. I've had run ins with dogs similar to this, but with owners who couldn't be bothered to see it was not okay behaviour, and just chalked it up to "ohhh he just wants to play... he's just being blah blah...". Good on ya, Sir! Your dog has a great future!
Yeah changing dogs lives for the better can be a tough job but someone’s got to do it.
So helpful. I love how the body language is always explained. Owners need to know what their dogs are really saying with other dogs because not many of us speak 'dog'-- which is 99% non-verbal. Thanks for slowing down the video and explaining, and interpreting in your other videos too.
Prince is my favorite dog I never met. When he showed that obnoxious French bulldog what was what I cracked up. That good patient boy deserves a vacation. He’s the best.
Love this. This is exactly how we trained our Great Dane, Charles. Our Husky Shephard, Luna, is our version of your Prince. This was like watching the experience all over again but with different dogs. Great work, love what you do for the dog owner community.
This was such a pleasant video to watch,although the nose buts are a little naughty you have to admit it’s he’s so cute!
Prince Charming did a fantastic job at correcting him!! 😂👍💯
The remarkable thing that needs more comment from you is how many times about 7 I counted Prince took and responded quietly to him saying dude, dude, dude, and then he went for him for good. Absolutely spectacular and beautiful to watch. Nowhere did Prince want to harm him whatsoever.
Holy frick prince is a good boy. He let go of that fight the second he heard his name. Such a well trained dog bro, you should be proud
Prince taught that dog a lesson! Hopefully the pup improved, good luck to the owner! Great video!!
Great correction by Prince. These are my favorite videos where Prince really shines in his corrections and patience. The "Dog Wizard" with another great video
3:47 check out how Prince comes back to the dog. Like a “You get it now, or you still don’t understand?”
Prince reminds me so much of Preacher from Senza Tempo. Preacher is more No Nonsense at all but just how they both carry themselves.
Prince is more of a Madmartigan than Preacher.
Preacher is a true alpha male who's serious all the time, while Madmartigan is a prancy happy boi who knows how to get serious when needed.
the little shake the puppy gives made me laugh a bit. little dude was truly baffled that he got put on the ground so easily
Fluffy ran to daddy and looked at daddy in bafflement.
Hahahaha, yes! Hurray for Prince and the Dog Wizard 🐾🧙💕
😂😂😂. I wish we had these kinds of behavioral tutors for humans 😅
It's amazing how you can see Henrys brain rebooting after Prince told him off! Really a "wow, holy shit, darn" moment he really needed 😍 As you said, not a bad dog, not an aggressive dog, just needs to know he's not the big boss
I learned something every time I view your content!!!!
Prince is so delightful to watch when he's working, you've done a fantastic job with him Joey!
Great session! My dog does the same behavior with younger dogs or submissive dogs, and I work with him on Joel’s techniques. Hard for me to get him, but I do eventually.
Off the subject: I was thinking of Joel today while having the most beautiful walk with my dog on a lose leash. I think I saw it click in my dogs head today, “if I don’t pull, I get to keep on this nice calm walk without corrections “. The energy is good, calm.
I have to say that many men should use Prince as an example for their behavior. This dog is absolutely cool, pure discipline
My Saint Bernard is really well trained, and honestly he’s really overprotective but he’s the older brother type who makes sure all the other dogs are in check which I really respect and love about my dog
That was Awesome!!! 👏👏👏👏 What every owner needs to see is both appropriate and ok to tell their dog - an effective “Knock It Off!” 🔥🔥🔥
This was fascinating. By the 2 minute mark, Prince already had his hackles up, even though he was willing to play he knew the other dog was trouble. Then after the dog nipped him he actually took a second to shake it off - I'm curious about that - then went full out. And after that correction, Prince's hackles were down for the rest of the video. He is such a good team member for you!
Ever seen someone who knows how to fight take a moment to calculate and take in exactly what just happened before opening the can of whoop ass? That's what prince did lol
@@s.b.5259 well put. You’re right.
@@BDTraining One trait about Dobermans that puts them up there in the working class is that they think before acting. It looks like Prince gave him a few looks and clear messages to tone it down. And when the dog didn’t, Prince took a moment to size up the dog, thought about what Joel wants from him in that moment, and then did precisely what he was bred/trained for. It’s a working Doberman in it’s finest form. “A keeper of the peace”. That fluffy dog isn’t a lunatic, so I think Prince felt it was appropriate for a whooping. But I’ve also seen Prince size a dog up and just say “Nope, I’m not going to get in a fight with that Lunatic unless I absolutely need to.” And this is what I like about Joel and Prince, is that they don’t force unnecessary and potentially fatal fights. Bullies need a whooping, lunatics need to be locked up and avoided.
I mean the pet is always the REFLECTION of its owner, so with that logic it’s not that coincidental that the dog is as wise as the owner. 😂
I’ll translate what he is aw thinking during that moment: “did this MF really just-“
I loved this session! The guy was super chill and respectful of your expertise. Prince is the absolute star❤ I always support this channel , I think you’re doing the most amazing job with canine behavior.
Great video. The owner seems eager to learn, that’s always nice to see.
Good dog too, he’s just a little “strong” personality-wise.
Great job, no violence, no stress it is very interesting to learn about dogs here.
Kudos for the owner being so proactive.
I used to work at a doggy daycare and there were two cockapoos both siblings that would excessively bully dogs. One would muzzle punch whichever dog looked vulnerable (including my dog when I took him to work with me) while his sister would hump smaller dogs. They were such an issue that any behavioral reports we made would not make it to the owner. They never gave them advice on changing their dogs, they just want their money. So seeing this makes it so important to understand how your dog is around other pups, especially in daycare. If they're causing havoc to other dogs it can get dangerous for them really fast and you need to take action immediately. Do not disregard bad behavior, it will only get worse until someone gets hurt.
You are he most sane dog trainer I've heard. Most people have no idea. Your dog reflects your spirit. Mine do.
This dog is such a pest, he really needed prince's strength and temperance. His entire brain rewired after it, immediately made him rethink his approach.
Pest? He is just a dog, he gives so much love to his owner, he just plays roughly, don't be so cruel to animals especially to people's animals who are being put online for us to learn.
The only pests are humans who drain the planet and every resource they can get their hands on.
Please be more considerate online.
@@LingaBirdie You speak more highly about dogs than your own species. Without humans, you wouldn't be watching this dog video on your handheld computer. Also, yes he was a pest. He needed to be put in his place. He is now a better dog.
@@LingaBirdie the dog was a pest as it was bothering every dog he encountered. I hope you include yourself as a human draining the earth of resources. What a nihilistic view of people.
@mhods4457 Humans are the only pests in this world they only take and never give back to the planet. Dogs are animals they lack the capacity we have for logical and critical thinking. We should be more empathetic towards animals than humans who know exactly what they do and they just dont care.
Thats why i think that you were very judgemental to a dog that is an animal and doesn't know better. It's the same thing with kids, I would never name a kid a pest, their brains are literally underdeveloped. Your comment can make the owner of the dog really hurt especially when they try to learn and need support.
There are 1000 ways to describe something and u choose the rudest one. Apart from that, I don't wanna fight or argue, I just said we should be more considerate. If you don't wanna think about it it's your choice and the matter is closed.
@@LingaBirdie Just like people, dogs have personalities. And sometimes, dogs are simply jerks. They will pester, prod, or even bully other dogs or animals. This is cold hard fact why deny it. And yes, with intelligence comes responsibility and expectations. But with intelligence also comes greed and jealously. We are not perfect, and neither are dogs. And just for the record, I have 5 dogs, 2 cats, and a Bearded Dragon.
So glad you made the comparison with the young men. It is exactly the same and can be just as easily handled with some maturity and experience. I had to learn as a young man. It's good for both dogs and boys.
Great session. I've been around dogs and trained them my whole life. Still learning and this helps. Two things I will say talk to your dog. Some people feel silly you need to get over that. They will eventually understand way more than you would imagine and at the least they get tone related to the moment. The second thing is in control in a good way. Don't be afraid to make a scene if by that it means raising your voice correcting and being in control. We have such a gorked out world anymore where some sad deprived people don't understand discipline and correction. That's fine let them think whatever they want they're the ones that are screwed up not you.
I love that other dog. Prince is so badass. I love his demeanor….he knows he owns that shit. I’ve been around a few Dobermans for extended periods of time, and while they were really good dogs and trained well, they did not have the calmness and steadiness of prince. So impressive.
Good video as always
Awww this owner is great!!
Good on the gentleman bringing his dog to get corrected by Prince I wish all dog owners were like this
I’m using this guys advice to raise my son and it’s working wonders 😂
I absolutely love that you let your dog do this. It's so useful and people are so scared of using this technique, but my best trained dog also is phenomenal at bringing other dogs in line without actual fighting, just a good dog-to-dog lesson. Love to see it.
"He's going to learn what to do today"...Prince
🤣😂🤣
Love the way Prince circles around the other dog right after the correction. He’s not mad just self assured. Prince is my hero.
Prince is a champ! ❤
I like that the "correction" is not hitting the dog or popping the leash. it's literally just grabbing the collar, controlling the dog and making it sit. interrupting the behaviour and not allowing it. Never seen a correction done this way and I like it.
How well behaved is Prince??? Also very athletic. Great dog. I used to have a Labrador crossed with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. When dogs see 'red' they gain this different kind of strength. At home, all he wanted to do was eat, sleep and play (and I mean for hours)
The way you practice correcting dogs behavior is first class. I am 100% convinced that dogs learn so much from our Body language and soft but certain corrections. My male unneutered Ridgeback Boy is a calm and gentle giant- even with other unneutered Males who aren‘t too upset.
Keep on doing your great Job - love from Germany!
When Joel works his magic, he truly is the Dog Wizard! 🐾🧙💕
Prince is a really patient dog, props to the owner/trainer.
This was an impressive video to watch! Prince's timing and level of correction is impeccable. I wish I could have my dog out there to learn from Prince. She's not a bully, but can get overwhelming in her play with other dogs at times. I learned a lot from this video on how to time corrections when playing gets too intense. Joel and Prince, come do an east coast tour!
I came for prince but stayed and subscribed for this AMAZING education of dog training. Just amazing!
Prince is like a true healer for other dogs. He meets other dogs where they are at and if they need to be regulated Prince will do that with appropriate energy. So awesome to watch !
If a child was doing this on the playground to other children - pushing, poking, harassing - an adult would put a stop to it, same concept with dogs. We have to set limits and boundaries with kids and dogs about what behavior is ok and what isn't.
I love the owners desire and energy to learn and be better ! Bravo
“DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT CONSULTING JOEL BECKMAN” 😅 Great 👍🏽 video . Thank you and kudos to the owner
Good man for stepping up to do what's best for his dog, as a fellow doodle owner (albeit a smaller variety) it's very sad when people aren't given the correct information about how much work they require both in physical care and training.
This dog touched lucky to get such an owner, trainer and doggy teacher like Prince, best he learns via a smack rather than a full on beatdown.
My brother had a female malamute that could correct bad behaviour like your doberman does, you're so blessed to have a dog like this
Respect to that owner. I have a red fox lab who is just over one year old. I made a real conscious effort to socialise him when he was a puppy but I have noticed in the last 2 months he has become agitated around some dogs. I'd say 90% of dogs he meets he is super friendly but I guess he senses something from other dogs and as soon as they bark at him or gesture he wants to fly off and react. We will be getting him neutered soon but not for behavioural reasons but because he is constantly marking everything. In your experience do you think neutering would change his behaviour. Another excellent video, thank you.
100% neutering will help. Our fox red is as neutered and he stopped getting attacked by other male dogs almost immediately and he’s so much happier not trying to mate with every dog he comes across.
@@so_so_reef thank you for the reply bro I appreciate you taking the time.
@@omarionnelson9440 you dont know anything. Please stop talking
Dog on dog correction is some of my favorite. There is obviously risk but that comes with every kind of animal on animal training. It's a risk when people train dogs to hunt! Prince stops when you ask and that is most important. You always seem ready to step in to and that's admirable. "We gotta let him be a normal dog" is very well said. Dogs are bread to do work and work ain't always easy.
Keep working hard but never let your guard down and I think this will work out ok.
Also watching dog behavior has been really great for drawing them in my art so thank you for that!
After watching a few of these, you can just read the body language in the dogs. It’s incredible. Like you said in another, I’m surprised there aren’t more trainers who do it this way. But I think it’s probably because a lot of trainers don’t have this setup or the desire to deal with trouble dogs.
Prince deserves a raise 😊
I had a troublesome dog years ago and I looked into dog body language and applied it at it worked. She was very aggressive by her food bowl and wouldn’t let anyone near so when she challenged me I’d stand my ground and show my teeth and growl until she backed down and it worked.
Hahaha the dog wizard lmao I love that
I have a dog that is very very friendly. I'll let my dog loose at the dog park, and she'll get humbled a couple times. After a couple times she does behave better.
To manage my dog's excitement to be around other dogs, I've been teaching her to reign in her excitement by letter her know that I make the decisions.
I think that it's helped so far!
I've been using Joel's method for getting from the car to the gate of the park, where you turn around and walk back towards the car when they aren't listening. It has helped my 9.5 month old black lab enter the park much calmer.
Dude I love Prince !!!! This is the most perfect Doberman I’ve seen !!
What a wonderful owner, such a kind spirit. Way to go Prince! Awesome job Joel and team 💗
Thanks for sharing, this is some really good stuff. You and Prince make a great teaching team.
Prince is my favorite trainer. His demeanor is just impeccable. Henry seemed like just a goofball who plays a little too much. Great job to all humans and dogs in the video!
Man. Seriously, kudos to the owner. He understands the correct way to communicate with a professional effectively and quickly
I've been watching a lot of your videos now and I'm now of the opinion that you're the best dog trainer I've seen on youtube. I'll be putting much of what you've taught to use with
our fear aggressive pittie mix
Another happier ending! Also, Prince is just such a handsome, gorgeous dog. When he did the little play bow, it was so freakin’ cute, lol.
Great teamwork again as always Joel and Prince!
I agree that floofy dog is not meanly aggressive, just plays way too rough. Nice to be able to teach him without him getting hurt.
I really like this owner. He was very good with following Joel’s instructions and you could tell he really wanted to learn more. Those are the owners that I really appreciate. They have a “problem child” to contend with but they are eager to make appropriate changes.
Love to see new videos Joel! With this video you helped me understand the way my male Amstaff lifts its behind when he poops. Next level of dominante! Love these videos! Love your work!
This is amazing....great work!
This dog is a lot like my dog. He’s matured a bit and we’ve done a lot of training, so he’s now not nearly as bad. We weren’t doing dog parks until his behavior improved!
Brilliant. Also, very nice to see a dog dad who is responsible and cares about their dogs social health. I live alone with a pittie. He is my world. This is something that concerns me with my kiddo because we never really get any time with other dogs or socialization. This was a great video! Thanks for sharing.
The Dog Wizard 💯
Absolutely!🐾🧙💕
Prince's net positive in the dog world is immense! What a dog!
I love watching Prince in action ❤️
Man loves his dog and is clearly wise and educated. Love this
The words “he’s changed now” really interests me. I never had a dog growing up, and when me and my wife adopted, we got a 4 year old terrier. He was smart, really well behaved, and usually very passive with other dogs but he would bark at tall men (the people at the Humane society did believe he had ptsd potentially from former abuse) but he would avoid trouble with other dogs. It wasn’t until after a couple of random encounters where we were walking him, and an off leash dog would jump on him and scare him, that I feel like he changed, but not for the better.
Since getting him he got a lot better with humans, and a lot more willing to meet them and let them pet him, but whenever he sees a new dog that he didn’t meet prior to getting jumped by other dogs, he gets extremely alert and will scrape his feet, and even try to lunge at them if they get too close. We’ve tried reintroducing him back into the dog parks to let him get used to socializing again, but I get extremely paranoid about if there’s a chance he might actually hurt another dog, so I’m always super watchful but I don’t really know how to determine if either of them are going to go too far and the last thing I want is to let it go too far
Since watching this channel I really want to see if there are people in my area who can provide the same sort of training with a dog who can put him in his place in a controlled environment while not actually hurting him. We certified him on Petco’s Adult 1 and 2 courses prior to his change, he’s super smart and learns easy so I think a couple of these types of lessons would really do him some good in snapping him out of the state he gets in when he sees another dog these days, but it’s a really intimidating thought
Just some random advice as a pet sitter/walker who works with a lot of dogs - some traumatized, if you can find a group of people who will go on hikes or walks with dogs together that may be very helpful. When I have to introduce iffy dogs to each other I find that taking them on a walk together is the fastest way to build trust and it’s in a safe low energy context. At least 30-40 min At a time is a good amount to have a reasonable impact.
If your dog walks alongside many different large dogs (even if it’s just 1 different large dog each time) he will eventually learn that large dogs are safe since he was able to walk next to them for so long with no repercussions. Best to keep the 2 dogs reasonably apart so your dog cannot lunge but still see the other dog nearby and as “part of the group.”
Playtime with large (good natured) dogs is also a great opportunity for development but it does pose a higher risk that your dog can injure the other dog. I wouldn’t attempt that until he had more than several walks under his belt with larger dogs and was showing some improvement.
Having him on leash during playtime can help with the safety factor though so you can quickly pull him away if he becomes fearful & aggressive.
