DEFINITELY ! Total kudos to her, right from the start. I was a bit in awe of how fast and accurate her grabs were those two times that Joel slowed down the film. Not a micro second of hesitation, and an immediate very accurate lock on to his collar, and "look at ME" follow up. Full of respect for her. With my last male dog, it would sometimes take me a couple of times to fully grab his collar. She was "BANG !...grabbed !" Brilliant
Thank you for making this video. Anyone thinking about getting a Malinois needs to watch this. My Malinois is now 20 months old. I've been using these techniques since he was 4 months. He fully understands that I am the pack leader. Homework and training are key to owning a Malinois. They are great dogs. Get from reputable breeder, Homework before purchase and Training every day is a must.
We got a mally at 5 months old his tip of his ear was bitten off in a fight. I’d never seen a dog behave like this one he was so dominant/aggressive and I was scared of him ( had GSD all my life ) he was something else . We watched videos, took him to dog behaviour specialists, training classes , everything and we were told there “the quick way “ or the “long way” we choose the long way . We called him Senu ( Egyptian for companion) and we had to almost reprogram him he was very reactive and it took us years to get him trained to where he is now he is five and a half and I adore him . He is loyal , protective , intelligent and a big baby who loves cuddles , everything you’d want in a dog but he’s never off duty even when he’s on his back snoarin with his legs in the air . Fantastic boy he is but definitely got to put the work in and they are so worth it . Just my opinion as a NON professional dog trainer. 💕💕💕
I have a mal. He's 9 months. We have a one on one trainer. He gets 10 minutes on the treadmill at 4 mph a day and an hour of fetch or a walk on a mountain. He is very intelligent and so affectionate. We are home full time. A great dog, nut a lot of work.
If you think this is dog training your crazy. The apha theory shit is fake. Dominating and smoking your dog for expressing there feelings is not dog training. And letting another dog dominate your dog while your dog is muzzled and leashed is creating more frustration and tension in that dog.
That Mal actually has all the makings of a very good boy. He learned to check in with lightning speed. When he's 3, he may be really something, because that is very clearly a competent owner who is invested in her dog's success.
This lady really did her very best before reaching help and that's tangible, anyway i want to congratulate my self with every owner that tried to reach help.
As the caretaker of a retired police K9, I commend this owner for matching well with this young Malinois. I hope she gets him to where she wants him to be with other dogs. If she does, he would make a good candidate for agility training if she wanted to try it. I wish her great success with that beautiful boy.🐾🐾
@sharonmontano4924 You would be surprised at how many people get dogs just because they're the most popular breed at the time. We wouldn't have so many Rescues and Shelters full of bully breeds, shepherds, Malinois. Corsos and other mastiffs if it wasn't because of this?!
Him sitting down and staying seated for those couple seconds is what shows the corrections were teaching him something on a basic level. "Too much, calm down, focus" I love watching you and prince at work, and I love seeing those good owners who take in everything you say and show them and execute that method perfectly. Good boy Prince too for tanking that gnarly blow to the shoulder like that, talk about a crash shoulder check bud awwe
My dog is a Shih Tzu and sometimes he tries to be the Alfa in the family. What is there for some ppl not to understand. Dogs live in packs. Every pack has an alfa. If thevhumens are not on the top of the packing order the dog will try to take the place og the leader of the psck no matter the breed. Of vause some breeds are more willed and independent then others some are humen and dog super friendly others are not. So different needs for training and socialisation. All this training with no corractions just treats is,a load of bull.
@@msanjeliaA distraught street dog will never trust or follow you with such an alpha-method. Watch e. g. Rocky Kanaka's videos. He uses treats and patience to earn the trust of his dogs.
She’s got HBIC energy, that’s what Prince was in love with 🥰🥰🥰 Honestly I’m a little in love with her myself, can’t tell if I want her to step on me or bench press me 😂
Wow. Great session and narration Joel. Also, what an awesome owner. She listened very carefully to your instructions and put them into practice immediately. I literally said "wow!" out loud while watching her make the corrections. It was like watching your doppelganger. It's awesome to see a Malinois with an owner that can handle the energy. Edit: I bet this session felt particularly fulfilling for you too knowing that the owner will undoubtedly be successful after she leaves.
This is a fascinating dog. Very smart, picked up on the correction in 2x while being very dominant with strong dogs testing him. Impressive mind and the owner is honestly very good. She was strong and got in there quickly. Sometimes I worry about owners being able to get into these skills on the videos but she really had no hesitation and was very practical. I really think she is a great type of person for this dog.
Great owner. The moment at 13:50 was really impressive to me. The way she jumped in to grab her dog, pivot around, and then a small hip check to push prince the other direction was something else.
This is such a good video! I love how you explained very well the process - pick a behaviour we want to address - clap, yell hey!, go grab with two hands - walk into the dog - don't let him look at the other dog So good! And yeah the reality with dogs like this one and mine is that they need a very structured life and controlled meetings with other dogs...and yes, most people will isolate those dogs because they turn out aggressive sometimes...and usually it ends up that they isolate themselves too. Thank you for all you do. You give actual solutions and strategies to move forward.
My dog attacks other dogs, she just wants to smell them and if they do the same she'll snap and attack every time, I've learned to jump out of shock. But I have a muzzle and keep her out of trigger situations which is food and other dogs.
Malinois are on a different level and are the wrong breed for 99% of people who want one. Glad you're helping her learn and that she's ready to be the right owner for her dog.
Oh 100% ! Belgian malinois are a very special amazing breed . But I know myself well enough to realize I personally could Not have one . I have lifelong experience with having German Shepards but they are NOT the same. Not at all. I don’t have the physical strength to handle a malinois nor do can I provide the rigorous activity necessary to keep a malinois happy and healthy . I’m not the right fit. This owner definitely seems to be a proper fit for her mail and that’s great! I love and respect the breed (from afar) . And it’s for that reason , that I’d never have one.
@@alisha_madariagaI feel the same. I can respect the breed, but I would never want one. I know that I do not have the strength or the energy level to handle such an intense breed.
heck even my besenji mix is a bit of a handfull. they dont take kindly to displays of dominance and have a shit load of energy. a JRT and my dog got into a dominance scuffle once. the JRT managed to flip my dog on to his back only for my dog to get very upset and flip it on its back then tried to chase it off. all of this was because my dog tried to butt sniff a dog who wasnt very dog savvy so to speak. what got me though was that it wasnt until the JRT was on the losing side so to speak that the owner finally tried to do something. besenji dogs can be like mini malinois sometimes with their energy and natural dominance. it also didnt help that the JRT was a screamer since the besenji is a hunting dog designed to take out small animals like reed rats and are even used to hunt lions. heck my mix chased a bear off of our property once. just as an fyi the other mixes are yorkie, poodle, and shitzu. poodles and yorkies are known for their energy and dominace displays while a shih tzu is more prone to stubborness as is the besenji.
I live in a neighbourhood where every 4th dog is either a Malinois or a Dutch shepard. We have 2 Malinois living in house with us as well. Socialising in a pack and loads of exercises are key to a happy well balanced dog.
He is a fascinating dog but that Prince keeps my attention every time. He is so beautiful and such a good boy. “ you don’t give an eff” cracked me up 😂🤣
I will say it again and again, the camera person is doing a phenomenal job, seriously. Everything in this video is great actually, Joel and Prince as usual, I love the scenery (no palms where I live lol), and one badass owner who seems to know perfectly what she’s doing 💪🏽💪🏾😎
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
@@Moltzenn or maybe it'll motivate them to be even better so they can get that recognition and praise. Probably not for most of them, but maybe some, and that's worth a few moments to write this. And it's not only trainers who watch these videos. ❤️💕
This might be one of the best sessions I've seen yet, showing the human training as well as dog training. I feel like the Malinois owner is the perfect person for him
Keep up the good work! Sometimes the methods may not seem or feel right to other people, but work like this prevents loved dogs from being put down for behaviors that were too hard for owners themselves to handle.
If these techniques didnt work and dominance wasnt a thing that dog would NOT have sat staring at Joel after that second correction. This guy has heat seeking missle stare bro ! Great damn video!
Again !! An excellent example of you can’t just use praise and treats or keep your distance , facing it and doing corrections “at the right time”!! PERFECT !!
Oh boy I absolutely love this Mal. That boy needs a job! He is not a pet, and has that amazing drive. He reminds me so much of Kaylee. I hope people see this and think twice before getting a Mal. Awesome video made me smile ❤❤❤
Growing up, we had a beautiful GSD from a line of German police dogs. The training school we went to had a style really similar to yours, Joel (actually, I've wondered a time or two if you ever taught in Illinois?!) and I appreciated that the trainer made sure that every family member including us two little girls knew how to pin that dominant puppy. Sometimes I wondered if my dad was too hard on that dog, but in hindsight, that dog was made just like this one, and my dad had to make sure he wasn't going to harm the other dogs, the livestock, the poultry, or us. This video made me thankful that my dad instilled order among the critters to keep all of them safe, and brought the whole family to the classes to educate us and keep us safe, too. It was completely awesome to grow up with well behaved animals, and I really respect people who are willing to reach out for help and then put in the effort to help their dog succeed at life.
Full respect here for Joel! Showing clearly to the owner and her dominant Malinois what to do! This is Pure Beckham's where Joel and Prince engage any size any type of Dog awesome work. 😎💪💯
Hey Joel. How much interaction had this dog had with other dogs before this? If he hadn’t (my guess), how awesome for him to get with dogs, get socialised, desensitised & corrected all at the the same time. Despite his dominance agenda, looks like he was having a blast. Loved how the corrections matched his intensity, & cool to see how receptive he was. And what an awesome owner! Thanks again 👍👍👍
Love your videos Joel. You can see even at the end he wanted that muzzel off so he could have a go at more aggressive play. Thank you for your experience and advice.
Prince is an absolute ancient wizard now in gorgeous dobie form. I love how still he gets when he’s telling another dog “cut it out” - he becomes a beautiful (and intimidating) Greek sculpture. Joel you raised two incredible dogs with your two dobies - and it’s wonderful to see how you work *with* your dogs to train the newbies like this malinois.
Can we all point out seeing an owner being just as hands on with Joel trying to correct their dog in a “fight” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video where Prince was the one still going because the dog was already stopped by their owner. (I just watched the intro, not the full video yet)
I think what was different here is lady woman had the ability, just needed a controlled environment and reinforcement from someone with the knowledge to show exactly what to do.
This was done SO well and I really applaud the owner, she rocked it!! She is absolutely the kind of person capable of handling this level of dog. I really hope either you or her can give us some updates after training for a while!
My Dalmatian puppy is growing to be the same way-- lovely with people but constantly trying to dominate & mount every dog he meets. Even though hes loving to people he will still snap if they ask him to stop playtime & go into his crate. Like you said, they respect strength & no nonsense approaches. Waiting for him to reach 10 months so he can really understand the corrections.
I’m thankful that my Dalmatian mix is the exact opposite. She’s a submissive dog. The worst thing she does is she gets pushy with other dogs when she wants to play. She doesn’t take no for an answer.
this makes me so glad i had my senior lab when i got my current dog. i would correct him but she was the one who would drive the point home. he is selective of strangers as most dogs are especially given his mix but he is well behaved in public especially at dog parks. he could see a fight happen and while every dog rushes to join in he just goes to where im sitting until the issue stops. i can even call him away from other dogs if the other dog seems too much for him. he has issues with big dogs because most try to dominate him because he is smaller.
Oh wow!!!! Star session with so much teaching!!!! The body language, slo-mo, freeze-frames, explanations fantastic, lean/feminine/strong/confident owner executing perfectly what you taught! Tops!! This will likely get you over the 500K as well! Just WOW!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤗💕🐾
This is a great video. I like seeing more dominant breeds like this on your show. The owner is a champ and has her work cut out for her but I can tell that the dog is also smart and with a lot of work and effort he along with his family will become a much happier, better behaved dog. Great job Joel.❤🐾🐾
100% agree with the way you handled that. I have done something similar with both a pitbull and a Sharpei mix. The Sharpei mix seems to think she owns my car when she's inside it and she growls at any dog that comes into the car afterher. She's also growled at me when I correct her so I have done what you've done - making her sit and grabbing her by the face, making sure she understands that I'm the only one shee should be focusing on and i'm the one that is "boss"!
I have a 5 year old male GSD and got a rescue last June that was supposed to be a 6 month old GSD male as well. Turns out there's definitely some Malinois in there lol. It's a different breed for sure. Since owning both, I now know why people describe them as GSDs on crack lol. They NEVER stop chewing, even after the teething/puppy stage. And I know a lot of his Mali behaviors are watered down by the GSD blood in him. My older boy was still more difficult than he is, but I'm wondering if maybe that's just because I already have an idea of what to expect. Neither of these breeds are for beginners. I work from home so that I can keep an eye on these two all the time, because if you don't give them enough stimulation, they will eat 3 sofas and a carpet. (Ask me how I know lol) Thanks for your content, Joel. It's really affirmed a lot of the way I handle my boys, and taught me some new things to try out, too.
Yesssss…. Thank you, Joel, for this video. Thanks for the commentary and for sharing what works and what doesn’t work. Watching your videos gives me more confidence when handling my own dogs.
Great session, and great explanations! Belgian Malinois dogs are a special case and you adjusted well. Prince is amazing too! Prince seems to understand these hyper Malinois dogs and quickly adjust to mutual respect and doggie play.
Wonderful owner to learn how to do those corrections. That gorgeous dog is worth every try at making things better for him ❤❤❤ As always, wonderful job Joel.
Awesome, I just stumbled on his training videos. Will definitely tell others about his videos. The owner did a great job in controlling her pup. I have trained Malinois for past five years and herding dog since I was sixteen. I have trained my two oldest Malinois to be my service dogs and water rescue dogs. My oldest ride jet skis and will swim me back if I go in without hesitation. About 6-7 months ago my male was working with me when we had to rescue a mom and son off a river. Nothing like a well trained pup. I have a third Malinois in training now to be a service dog for flying on airplanes with me. My two oldest are to large (90+ lbs) and I don’t feel it is good to cramp them for hours on a plane so I have a 40 lb female rescue pup. I have three to four Malinois loose in my house at all times and they know who is the boss. I like how he shows the dominance over the pup in a way they understand right off who’s the boss. Will watch some more of his videos and have subscribed. Hope to see the long term result she got from with her Malinois.
Excellent session! I will put these practical tips into practice next dog interaction with my black GSD who thinks he's top dog ALL THE TIME with other dogs.
I love love watching your videos. I just started to watch them and I have been bragging about you and your videos. I want to watch more videos thank you 🙏
The owner seemed to do a great job taking your instructions and I imagine had a pretty good understanding of dogs to begin with but needed a little direction with a tough breed.
Hi Joel, thanks so much for the video. I am a dog trainer and am going to be helping someone with an extremely pushy and dominant dog tommorow. One of the methods I use is the mark (HEY!!!) and punish (DOUBLE GRAB, WALK AND STARE). I also use my own methods I find helpful I've worked out myself, but this video was at the exact right time to reinforce that mark and punish method which I will almost certainly be using tommorow. Thanks again and God bless.
@@User7688.--_ Very good actually. The people came back for a follow-up private session, and will be back for one more soon. Turns out the dog was just very pent up due to not going for a walk in a year. Also, we are working on reliable recall for off leash in parks and beaches, and also getting rid of dominance and fear with other dogs. She is very dominant with other dogs, but at the same time, has a fear of other dogs sniffing her rear, due to not meeting dogs for a year. The owners have had training before, but have not been successful. They are also now able to enjoy neighborhood walks, rather than always avoiding walking due to her extreme leash reactivity.
Awesome owner. Her strength and competency are evident. Definitely the right type of person for this breed. With the guidance she got, I am confident that she will do well by this dog.
I just stumbled on your channel. I am so impressed! I have been working with dogs since I was a teen. I helped train seeing-eye dogs. When I was in my twenties I stumbled on the best animal I've known yet. TJ was a "huge" Rottweiler who at full size was 210 lbs. We're pretty sure he had some English Mastiff because he was never fat. He also was the most chill dog. He was great with everyone, kids, dogs, anyone as long as you didn't maliciously threaten me or dad (my husband). After his stubborn period of 10 months to 15 months, he wouldn't even yank the leash. We had to use shorter leashes because we never needed the length of a regular one. He was in a one bedroom apartment in his later years and all of our neighbors loved him. He corrected many smaller dogs that thought they wanted to take him on. He never hurt them. Just tough corrections. The couple of your Shorts of Bosco reminds me of TJ's energy. He was amazing! Everyone that saw him told us that. The way you work with your dogs is just perfect and wonderful to watch. Love all I've seen!
I think this is one of my favorite videos, thanks Joel! Would love to see a follow up on how this works out (which of course depends on the owner's goals - meeting other dogs on leash? hanging out with specific friends' dogs? Dog park? Doggy daycare?) I'm so curious to know how far this could go in terms of this dog learning/retaining better social skills, in the context of limits of the breed and this individual dog personality in particular.
It's all about the person's energy. Anyone can learn from this women what type of demeanor you need to even have a chance to handle this type of dog. Just be honest with yourself if this isn't you there is no shame in it just be realistic and don't get a working dog.
My puppy is actually a Pitt Bull mixed with American Bulldog. When we were at her favorite pond that has the crazy fighting geese’s and ducks she made her whole entire body go limp so that I wouldn’t make her leave her favorite spot.❤
He just needed to learn to respect the handler at the other end of the leash and that they set boundaries and limits that he is to follow - simply put respect the handler. Good video.
Intervention is the only way to train these dogs. Real dominant and head strong dogs like this one are rare but they exist. My GSD ist one too and I handle him exactly like you did in this video. My dog is very friendly and playful torwards other dogs but very dominant and a difficult dog despite being super obedient. I tested it for the fun of it but no treat no nothing can get him out of his craziness, only intervention and telling him that it's me who has the last say (grabbing and holding until he calms down is all that it needs). Then he meets other dogs politely and all is fine but if I'd let him run up to them with his dominant presence, he'd get into fights all the time, not because he wants to but because he provokes it. I'm glad this Malinois has such great and skilled owners who not only want to help him but are also able to.
This video made me cry because it's exactly what I'm dealing with and have tried everything and need to know what to do because all the trainers in my area are morons and can't help me with this particular issue. I have a young spayed female malinois EXACTLY the same, no human aggression, but definitely dominant, hit or miss with other dogs. I'm not going to give up, I just need help on how to deal with it and what to do, so I'll start doing this TODAY
Thank you So much for this I am really having a problem with one of my dogs trying to assert dominance over her pack I've had to "check" her So hard for her behavior It's comforting knowing that I was doing the right thing although it kinda hurt my heart to take that demeanor with my baby girl
Another great video as always. Gotta show those pups youre the 1 not them just like you did. Great video frame by frame of how to handle that type of behavior.
These videos are all so helpful. I kind of run into this sometimes with my doggo. She's a blue tick hound german shepherd mix. But I appreciate how you broke up the downspirals and then did like a come to Jesus moment with the malinois. The face to face thing you did. Im sorry I don't know the exact terms 😅. I will do this more when I'm correcting her. You've made me a way better dog owner than before I found you on recommendations.
She knows her dog on evrty level and now that Joel as explained the grab etc the dog will learn... Ive done something similar with our dominant boy.... Great video....👍
I have a Malinois/Presa Canario mix named Supra and we call her the dominatrix at the dog park... Talk about getting her some leather and a ball gag... She loves to dominate the large dogs and only has issues with some females. But she loves watching this channel, keep up the great work! Also she reacts to your corrections which I find hilarious.
I kind of fell into doing this with my pitbull and it finally worked. We have a front clip harness and that stops most of the 100% fire-offs but some dogs, he just does not like and what finally worked was me grabbing his harness handle, very loudly saying "STOP," and slowly bringing him down to a sit while firmly holding, petting and soothing him. The boy needed to learn that it's not his job to police the route. It's my job and I'm not going to let any other dogs take his domain away from him. For god's sake, we've been walking the same route for the last 3 years.
I love these videos. Beckman teaches the dog and the owner about change in language and communication with each other. Mainly alter the behaviour and communication of the owner towards the dog and the dogs behaviour will alter also, once it understands this different and new language of the leash, the owners instructions/commands, tone of voice, assertiveness, body language, show of authority and so on. Beckman's methods on leash reactivity sorted my dominant rescue dog out to be able to eventually get to say hello to dogs, this video was like the second stage of getting him to behave properly when meeting a dog. He got pinned down a few times by me to calm him down and show my dominance over him. He still try's to be dominant with some dogs but a quick correction by me stops him in his tracks, he know's who is the boss. That lady will be a great owner for that dog, she will take Beckman's advice and use it.
my dog hates the pin by me or any person or dog for that matter but he does well with me turning his back away from the stimuli. he also knows the look at me command and knows when i say it i need his full attention. he can even do the command as dogs and people pass by. he also has a friend command which lets him know its ok to go up to certian dogs but i never let him linger long enough to decide what he wants to with them unless its a play session ofc. doing this has helped him learn to not linger or be too nosey when greeting other dogs. a lot of dogs do not know how to break up the butt sniff and will relentlessly sniff another dog which can cause the other dog to snap at them and cause a fight.
Malinois are habitual line steppers, and they’ve been bred to be 8000rpm dogs 24/7. So definitely a dog you need to be on your game all day when you own one.
I think those long corrections are so hard for a layperson (me) to do. It's like "is this even working?? It doesn't seem like it's working. Am I doing it wrong? Am I wrong about everything??" but like Joel and the owner do here - yeah sometimes it does take that long. Once I understood that, I saw a huge change in my dog and her responsiveness to normal corrections.
i've been doing this with my small maltipoo bc he's (despite being neutored) very dominant... i did this thanks to watching a lot of vids! and now my dog responds REALLY well to me.
I work in a pet shop, I've seen very calm Malinois and very hyper ones, one jumped in my face a few times the other day and the owner never addressed it. I also had an American XL bully bark at me, that owner never addressed it either, it's kind of setting them up to fail almost.
Malinois are very smart, fast learners, hard workers, and consistently good dogs. Dog dominance can be fixed. She's skilled and physically capable, they'll be fine 😊
Probably the BEST owner I’ve seen doing her part. Not taking any sh*t and being the boss.
DEFINITELY ! Total kudos to her, right from the start. I was a bit in awe of how fast and accurate her grabs were those two times that Joel slowed down the film. Not a micro second of hesitation, and an immediate very accurate lock on to his collar, and "look at ME" follow up. Full of respect for her. With my last male dog, it would sometimes take me a couple of times to fully grab his collar. She was "BANG !...grabbed !" Brilliant
Respect to that lady, she was taking no crap. She handled herself and her dog beautifully
Thank you for making this video. Anyone thinking about getting a Malinois needs to watch this. My Malinois is now 20 months old. I've been using these techniques since he was 4 months.

He is loyal , protective , intelligent and a big baby who loves cuddles , everything you’d want in a dog but he’s never off duty even when he’s on his back snoarin with his legs in the air . Fantastic boy he is but definitely got to put the work in and they are so worth it . Just my opinion as a NON professional dog trainer. 💕💕💕
You forgot exercise.
I have a mal. He's 9 months. We have a one on one trainer. He gets 10 minutes on the treadmill at 4 mph a day and an hour of fetch or a walk on a mountain. He is very intelligent and so affectionate. We are home full time. A great dog, nut a lot of work.
If you think this is dog training your crazy. The apha theory shit is fake. Dominating and smoking your dog for expressing there feelings is not dog training. And letting another dog dominate your dog while your dog is muzzled and leashed is creating more frustration and tension in that dog.
Same deal with my malinois. She is a saint now. All I did was follow beckman's rules
That Mal actually has all the makings of a very good boy. He learned to check in with lightning speed. When he's 3, he may be really something, because that is very clearly a competent owner who is invested in her dog's success.
The owner looks like an athlete that for sure can handle her dog…👍
This lady is on even par with her dog. She deserves owning him.100%, the right guy to guide her.🎉
This lady really did her very best before reaching help and that's tangible, anyway i want to congratulate my self with every owner that tried to reach help.
As the caretaker of a retired police K9, I commend this owner for matching well with this young Malinois. I hope she gets him to where she wants him to be with other dogs. If she does, he would make a good candidate for agility training if she wanted to try it. I wish her great success with that beautiful boy.🐾🐾
So glad that the Belgian's owner is like that instead of being soft! 4 stars for her!
She should have been assertive from the beginning . Who gets a Malinois and thinks they’re easy going like labs ?
@sharonmontano4924 You would be surprised at how many people get dogs just because they're the most popular breed at the time. We wouldn't have so many Rescues and Shelters full of bully breeds, shepherds, Malinois. Corsos and other mastiffs if it wasn't because of this?!
Him sitting down and staying seated for those couple seconds is what shows the corrections were teaching him something on a basic level. "Too much, calm down, focus" I love watching you and prince at work, and I love seeing those good owners who take in everything you say and show them and execute that method perfectly. Good boy Prince too for tanking that gnarly blow to the shoulder like that, talk about a crash shoulder check bud awwe
This is the literal definition of dominance, if people don’t believe it after seeing this there’s something wrong 😂
It's so important for people to know the distinction between dominant and aggressive! This was a great video.
Some people will never admit it
ppl will say their dog is submissive, but say dominance is a myth. like 🤔
My dog is a Shih Tzu and sometimes he tries to be the Alfa in the family. What is there for some ppl not to understand. Dogs live in packs. Every pack has an alfa. If thevhumens are not on the top of the packing order the dog will try to take the place og the leader of the psck no matter the breed. Of vause some breeds are more willed and independent then others some are humen and dog super friendly others are not. So different needs for training and socialisation. All this training with no corractions just treats is,a load of bull.
@@msanjeliaA distraught street dog will never trust or follow you with such an alpha-method. Watch e. g. Rocky Kanaka's videos. He uses treats and patience to earn the trust of his dogs.
Imagine trying to train or correct the behavior of this Belgian Malinois with just treats? Nothing would change.
this is the kind of dog that, maybe a decade or so ago, may have been euthanized as ''dangerous and untrainable''
Dog would be like "THANK YOU, I WILL DO IT AGAIN."
"you better have some more left when i'm finished with this guy"
My malinois couldn't give a crap about treats or any high rewards food
thats why you balance treats with corrections. cant reward a dog if it is not behaving appropriately.
That’s the first client I’ve seen him seek attention from multiple times, Prince is such a flirt!
She’s got HBIC energy, that’s what Prince was in love with 🥰🥰🥰
Honestly I’m a little in love with her myself, can’t tell if I want her to step on me or bench press me 😂
Wow. Great session and narration Joel. Also, what an awesome owner. She listened very carefully to your instructions and put them into practice immediately. I literally said "wow!" out loud while watching her make the corrections. It was like watching your doppelganger. It's awesome to see a Malinois with an owner that can handle the energy. Edit: I bet this session felt particularly fulfilling for you too knowing that the owner will undoubtedly be successful after she leaves.
❤
This is a fascinating dog. Very smart, picked up on the correction in 2x while being very dominant with strong dogs testing him. Impressive mind and the owner is honestly very good. She was strong and got in there quickly. Sometimes I worry about owners being able to get into these skills on the videos but she really had no hesitation and was very practical. I really think she is a great type of person for this dog.
Great owner. The moment at 13:50 was really impressive to me. The way she jumped in to grab her dog, pivot around, and then a small hip check to push prince the other direction was something else.
This is such a good video! I love how you explained very well the process
- pick a behaviour we want to address
- clap, yell hey!, go grab with two hands
- walk into the dog
- don't let him look at the other dog
So good! And yeah the reality with dogs like this one and mine is that they need a very structured life and controlled meetings with other dogs...and yes, most people will isolate those dogs because they turn out aggressive sometimes...and usually it ends up that they isolate themselves too. Thank you for all you do. You give actual solutions and strategies to move forward.
My dog attacks other dogs, she just wants to smell them and if they do the same she'll snap and attack every time, I've learned to jump out of shock. But I have a muzzle and keep her out of trigger situations which is food and other dogs.
Malinois are on a different level and are the wrong breed for 99% of people who want one. Glad you're helping her learn and that she's ready to be the right owner for her dog.
Oh 100% ! Belgian malinois are a very special amazing breed . But I know myself well enough to realize I personally could Not have one . I have lifelong experience with having German Shepards but they are NOT the same. Not at all. I don’t have the physical strength to handle a malinois nor do can I provide the rigorous activity necessary to keep a malinois happy and healthy . I’m not the right fit. This owner definitely seems to be a proper fit for her mail and that’s great! I love and respect the breed (from afar) . And it’s for that reason , that I’d never have one.
@@alisha_madariagaI feel the same. I can respect the breed, but I would never want one. I know that I do not have the strength or the energy level to handle such an intense breed.
@@blueflare3848 yep . Exactly:)
heck even my besenji mix is a bit of a handfull. they dont take kindly to displays of dominance and have a shit load of energy. a JRT and my dog got into a dominance scuffle once. the JRT managed to flip my dog on to his back only for my dog to get very upset and flip it on its back then tried to chase it off. all of this was because my dog tried to butt sniff a dog who wasnt very dog savvy so to speak. what got me though was that it wasnt until the JRT was on the losing side so to speak that the owner finally tried to do something. besenji dogs can be like mini malinois sometimes with their energy and natural dominance. it also didnt help that the JRT was a screamer since the besenji is a hunting dog designed to take out small animals like reed rats and are even used to hunt lions. heck my mix chased a bear off of our property once. just as an fyi the other mixes are yorkie, poodle, and shitzu. poodles and yorkies are known for their energy and dominace displays while a shih tzu is more prone to stubborness as is the besenji.
@@angelinacamacho8575 terriers… those breeds are just wired different I swear…
I live in a neighbourhood where every 4th dog is either a Malinois or a Dutch shepard. We have 2 Malinois living in house with us as well. Socialising in a pack and loads of exercises are key to a happy well balanced dog.
He is a fascinating dog but that Prince keeps my attention every time. He is so beautiful and such a good boy. “ you don’t give an eff” cracked me up 😂🤣
Thank you Joel. I wish I could write a thousand comments to help your channel.
Great instruction here in this video.
People just don’t understand the mal and how much work they are. Great job.
I will say it again and again, the camera person is doing a phenomenal job, seriously. Everything in this video is great actually, Joel and Prince as usual, I love the scenery (no palms where I live lol), and one badass owner who seems to know perfectly what she’s doing 💪🏽💪🏾😎
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕
Interesting comment addressing everyone. Some random terrible dog trainer out there is finding comfort in this comment 🤣 keep up the good work 😍
@@Moltzenn or maybe it'll motivate them to be even better so they can get that recognition and praise. Probably not for most of them, but maybe some, and that's worth a few moments to write this. And it's not only trainers who watch these videos. ❤️💕
This might be one of the best sessions I've seen yet, showing the human training as well as dog training. I feel like the Malinois owner is the perfect person for him
Joel your Knowledge always blows me away especially with this Belgian malinois shepherd
Keep up the good work! Sometimes the methods may not seem or feel right to other people, but work like this prevents loved dogs from being put down for behaviors that were too hard for owners themselves to handle.
That’s an athletic dog, the owner is a BOSS! If anyone can get him through it she can
If these techniques didnt work and dominance wasnt a thing that dog would NOT have sat staring at Joel after that second correction. This guy has heat seeking missle stare bro ! Great damn video!
Just her stance and bodylaguage is tough. I Like her! She's the right type for that kind of breed. Very good video!
❤
6:48 "It doesn't matter who's number 2 and 3, YOU are number ONE." This mindset is key!
Again !! An excellent example of you can’t just use praise and treats or keep your distance , facing it and doing corrections “at the right time”!!
PERFECT !!
Oh boy I absolutely love this Mal. That boy needs a job! He is not a pet, and has that amazing drive. He reminds me so much of Kaylee. I hope people see this and think twice before getting a Mal. Awesome video made me smile ❤❤❤
Growing up, we had a beautiful GSD from a line of German police dogs. The training school we went to had a style really similar to yours, Joel (actually, I've wondered a time or two if you ever taught in Illinois?!) and I appreciated that the trainer made sure that every family member including us two little girls knew how to pin that dominant puppy. Sometimes I wondered if my dad was too hard on that dog, but in hindsight, that dog was made just like this one, and my dad had to make sure he wasn't going to harm the other dogs, the livestock, the poultry, or us. This video made me thankful that my dad instilled order among the critters to keep all of them safe, and brought the whole family to the classes to educate us and keep us safe, too. It was completely awesome to grow up with well behaved animals, and I really respect people who are willing to reach out for help and then put in the effort to help their dog succeed at life.
Full respect here for Joel! Showing clearly to the owner and her dominant Malinois what to do! This is Pure Beckham's where Joel and Prince engage any size any type of Dog awesome work. 😎💪💯
Hey Joel. How much interaction had this dog had with other dogs before this? If he hadn’t (my guess), how awesome for him to get with dogs, get socialised, desensitised & corrected all at the the same time. Despite his dominance agenda, looks like he was having a blast. Loved how the corrections matched his intensity, & cool to see how receptive he was. And what an awesome owner! Thanks again 👍👍👍
Great owner, very assertive and calm. Great video, thanks guys.
4:01 Prince has eyes only for you! Very interesting, as always. Thank you!
Love your videos Joel. You can see even at the end he wanted that muzzel off so he could have a go at more aggressive play. Thank you for your experience and advice.
Prince is an absolute ancient wizard now in gorgeous dobie form. I love how still he gets when he’s telling another dog “cut it out” - he becomes a beautiful (and intimidating) Greek sculpture. Joel you raised two incredible dogs with your two dobies - and it’s wonderful to see how you work *with* your dogs to train the newbies like this malinois.
Can we all point out seeing an owner being just as hands on with Joel trying to correct their dog in a “fight” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video where Prince was the one still going because the dog was already stopped by their owner. (I just watched the intro, not the full video yet)
I think what was different here is lady woman had the ability, just needed a controlled environment and reinforcement from someone with the knowledge to show exactly what to do.
This was done SO well and I really applaud the owner, she rocked it!! She is absolutely the kind of person capable of handling this level of dog. I really hope either you or her can give us some updates after training for a while!
My Dalmatian puppy is growing to be the same way-- lovely with people but constantly trying to dominate & mount every dog he meets. Even though hes loving to people he will still snap if they ask him to stop playtime & go into his crate. Like you said, they respect strength & no nonsense approaches. Waiting for him to reach 10 months so he can really understand the corrections.
No, START NO! So you don't have to worry about it within 10 months!! They learn best when young. Correct your dog now!
Don’t wait,you’ll wait and they’ll get use to behavior, but do you, I’m not an expert anyhow
I’m thankful that my Dalmatian mix is the exact opposite. She’s a submissive dog. The worst thing she does is she gets pushy with other dogs when she wants to play. She doesn’t take no for an answer.
this makes me so glad i had my senior lab when i got my current dog. i would correct him but she was the one who would drive the point home. he is selective of strangers as most dogs are especially given his mix but he is well behaved in public especially at dog parks. he could see a fight happen and while every dog rushes to join in he just goes to where im sitting until the issue stops. i can even call him away from other dogs if the other dog seems too much for him. he has issues with big dogs because most try to dominate him because he is smaller.
Damn you’re good. Watching you pick out little mannerisms is fascinating. I can hardly tell but you pick out a look that the dog gives
Oh wow!!!! Star session with so much teaching!!!! The body language, slo-mo, freeze-frames, explanations fantastic, lean/feminine/strong/confident owner executing perfectly what you taught! Tops!! This will likely get you over the 500K as well! Just WOW!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤗💕🐾
This is a great video. I like seeing more dominant breeds like this on your show. The owner is a champ and has her work cut out for her but I can tell that the dog is also smart and with a lot of work and effort he along with his family will become a much happier, better behaved dog. Great job Joel.❤🐾🐾
It’s great when you work with an owner that gets it
100% agree with the way you handled that. I have done something similar with both a pitbull and a Sharpei mix. The Sharpei mix seems to think she owns my car when she's inside it and she growls at any dog that comes into the car afterher. She's also growled at me when I correct her so I have done what you've done - making her sit and grabbing her by the face, making sure she understands that I'm the only one shee should be focusing on and i'm the
one that is "boss"!
thats why the look at me command is a god send
I have a 5 year old male GSD and got a rescue last June that was supposed to be a 6 month old GSD male as well. Turns out there's definitely some Malinois in there lol. It's a different breed for sure. Since owning both, I now know why people describe them as GSDs on crack lol. They NEVER stop chewing, even after the teething/puppy stage. And I know a lot of his Mali behaviors are watered down by the GSD blood in him. My older boy was still more difficult than he is, but I'm wondering if maybe that's just because I already have an idea of what to expect.
Neither of these breeds are for beginners. I work from home so that I can keep an eye on these two all the time, because if you don't give them enough stimulation, they will eat 3 sofas and a carpet. (Ask me how I know lol)
Thanks for your content, Joel. It's really affirmed a lot of the way I handle my boys, and taught me some new things to try out, too.
Yesssss…. Thank you, Joel, for this video. Thanks for the commentary and for sharing what works and what doesn’t work. Watching your videos gives me more confidence when handling my own dogs.
I wish the world could see this and learn from this.
Great session, and great explanations! Belgian Malinois dogs are a special case and you adjusted well. Prince is amazing too! Prince seems to understand these hyper Malinois dogs and quickly adjust to mutual respect and doggie play.
Another great video and a very capable owner. Nice to see an owner that picks up the techniques so quickly.
Wonderful owner to learn how to do those corrections. That gorgeous dog is worth every try at making things better for him ❤❤❤ As always, wonderful job Joel.
Three great dogs. Beautiful to see, thank you.
Awesome, I just stumbled on his training videos. Will definitely tell others about his videos. The owner did a great job in controlling her pup. I have trained Malinois for past five years and herding dog since I was sixteen. I have trained my two oldest Malinois to be my service dogs and water rescue dogs. My oldest ride jet skis and will swim me back if I go in without hesitation. About 6-7 months ago my male was working with me when we had to rescue a mom and son off a river. Nothing like a well trained pup. I have a third Malinois in training now to be a service dog for flying on airplanes with me. My two oldest are to large (90+ lbs) and I don’t feel it is good to cramp them for hours on a plane so I have a 40 lb female rescue pup.
I have three to four Malinois loose in my house at all times and they know who is the boss. I like how he shows the dominance over the pup in a way they understand right off who’s the boss. Will watch some more of his videos and have subscribed. Hope to see the long term result she got from with her Malinois.
Excellent session! I will put these practical tips into practice next dog interaction with my black GSD who thinks he's top dog ALL THE TIME with other dogs.
I love love watching your videos. I just started to watch them and I have been bragging about you and your videos. I want to watch more videos thank you 🙏
The owner seemed to do a great job taking your instructions and I imagine had a pretty good understanding of dogs to begin with but needed a little direction with a tough breed.
I like how prince, even if he’s not the biggest and baddest never backs down.
Great demonstration! Thank you!
Good job, sir. Thank you for the video. Dogs can learn when properly corrected.
Hi Joel, thanks so much for the video. I am a dog trainer and am going to be helping someone with an extremely pushy and dominant dog tommorow. One of the methods I use is the mark (HEY!!!) and punish (DOUBLE GRAB, WALK AND STARE). I also use my own methods I find helpful I've worked out myself, but this video was at the exact right time to reinforce that mark and punish method which I will almost certainly be using tommorow.
Thanks again and God bless.
Tell us how it went.
@@User7688.--_ Very good actually. The people came back for a follow-up private session, and will be back for one more soon. Turns out the dog was just very pent up due to not going for a walk in a year. Also, we are working on reliable recall for off leash in parks and beaches, and also getting rid of dominance and fear with other dogs. She is very dominant with other dogs, but at the same time, has a fear of other dogs sniffing her rear, due to not meeting dogs for a year. The owners have had training before, but have not been successful. They are also now able to enjoy neighborhood walks, rather than always avoiding walking due to her extreme leash reactivity.
Hes good at listening to people. Im sure if theres constant exposure and corrections he will be alright
Awesome owner. Her strength and competency are evident. Definitely the right type of person for this breed. With the guidance she got, I am confident that she will do well by this dog.
I just stumbled on your channel. I am so impressed! I have been working with dogs since I was a teen. I helped train seeing-eye dogs. When I was in my twenties I stumbled on the best animal I've known yet. TJ was a "huge" Rottweiler who at full size was 210 lbs. We're pretty sure he had some English Mastiff because he was never fat. He also was the most chill dog. He was great with everyone, kids, dogs, anyone as long as you didn't maliciously threaten me or dad (my husband). After his stubborn period of 10 months to 15 months, he wouldn't even yank the leash. We had to use shorter leashes because we never needed the length of a regular one. He was in a one bedroom apartment in his later years and all of our neighbors loved him. He corrected many smaller dogs that thought they wanted to take him on. He never hurt them. Just tough corrections. The couple of your Shorts of Bosco reminds me of TJ's energy. He was amazing! Everyone that saw him told us that. The way you work with your dogs is just perfect and wonderful to watch. Love all I've seen!
I think this is one of my favorite videos, thanks Joel! Would love to see a follow up on how this works out (which of course depends on the owner's goals - meeting other dogs on leash? hanging out with specific friends' dogs? Dog park? Doggy daycare?) I'm so curious to know how far this could go in terms of this dog learning/retaining better social skills, in the context of limits of the breed and this individual dog personality in particular.
I watched a UA-cam video on Joseph Carter the mink man channel !!these dogs they have always fascinated me!!
Great job Joel,and BM owner!! 😊
It's all about the person's energy. Anyone can learn from this women what type of demeanor you need to even have a chance to handle this type of dog. Just be honest with yourself if this isn't you there is no shame in it just be realistic and don't get a working dog.
So bang on
This is about a general way of carrying yourself. I thought I had it and then I had to be that no bs owner 10x more!
That dog is highly responsive to training, it is in the breed, very smart.
My puppy is actually a Pitt Bull mixed with American Bulldog. When we were at her favorite pond that has the crazy fighting geese’s and ducks she made her whole entire body go limp so that I wouldn’t make her leave her favorite spot.❤
He just needed to learn to respect the handler at the other end of the leash and that they set boundaries and limits that he is to follow - simply put respect the handler.
Good video.
Intervention is the only way to train these dogs. Real dominant and head strong dogs like this one are rare but they exist. My GSD ist one too and I handle him exactly like you did in this video. My dog is very friendly and playful torwards other dogs but very dominant and a difficult dog despite being super obedient. I tested it for the fun of it but no treat no nothing can get him out of his craziness, only intervention and telling him that it's me who has the last say (grabbing and holding until he calms down is all that it needs). Then he meets other dogs politely and all is fine but if I'd let him run up to them with his dominant presence, he'd get into fights all the time, not because he wants to but because he provokes it. I'm glad this Malinois has such great and skilled owners who not only want to help him but are also able to.
Last video of the year is pretty intense, huh.
I missed you, thx for the video
The owner was great, i was like wow, and you did great as always. Thank you!
That’s an exceptionally big maligator
Almost at eye level with prince
And it’s got the attitude to match
This is not a big one, believe me, a big Malinois can weigh up to 55 KG
@@dannyschaffler2074 I’d suspect it’s a GSD mix at that point. Way off standard, average Doberman is bigger than a average Malinois by a good margin
@@GODEYE270115 true, the big ones are bred for law enforcement purposes. You have to know what you are doing when you have such a dog around
Being a Mallinois owner I can assure you they are 1 event learners. All he needed was one lesson. 🎉.
This video made me cry because it's exactly what I'm dealing with and have tried everything and need to know what to do because all the trainers in my area are morons and can't help me with this particular issue. I have a young spayed female malinois EXACTLY the same, no human aggression, but definitely dominant, hit or miss with other dogs. I'm not going to give up, I just need help on how to deal with it and what to do, so I'll start doing this TODAY
Great video and lots of useful tips. Thank you!
He's a smart dog. Hes correcting the behavior quickly
Thank you So much for this
I am really having a problem with one of my dogs trying to assert dominance over her pack
I've had to "check" her So hard for her behavior
It's comforting knowing that I was doing the right thing although it kinda hurt my heart to take that demeanor with my baby girl
I subscribed just off the strength of this video 🙏
Another great video as always.
Gotta show those pups
youre the 1 not them
just like you did.
Great video frame by frame of how to handle that type of behavior.
most issues with malinois come from the fact people shouldn't be having malinois. It's an expert level dog, not a pet to have on the couch.
Excellent video. I'd love to see a follow up. You could tell from her confident stance she was going to do well.
These videos are all so helpful. I kind of run into this sometimes with my doggo. She's a blue tick hound german shepherd mix. But I appreciate how you broke up the downspirals and then did like a come to Jesus moment with the malinois. The face to face thing you did. Im sorry I don't know the exact terms 😅. I will do this more when I'm correcting her. You've made me a way better dog owner than before I found you on recommendations.
She knows her dog on evrty level and now that Joel as explained the grab etc the dog will learn...
Ive done something similar with our dominant boy....
Great video....👍
I have a Malinois/Presa Canario mix named Supra and we call her the dominatrix at the dog park... Talk about getting her some leather and a ball gag... She loves to dominate the large dogs and only has issues with some females. But she loves watching this channel, keep up the great work! Also she reacts to your corrections which I find hilarious.
Wasn’t a big fan of this dog, but love your training !!!! You’re a real
one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Princey going up to them both and asking for some love is great😊.
All I learned from these videos is that, Beckman's methods are the only methods that work. PERIOD.
Joel, a really good one. I always learn a lot with your videos.
I kind of fell into doing this with my pitbull and it finally worked. We have a front clip harness and that stops most of the 100% fire-offs but some dogs, he just does not like and what finally worked was me grabbing his harness handle, very loudly saying "STOP," and slowly bringing him down to a sit while firmly holding, petting and soothing him.
The boy needed to learn that it's not his job to police the route. It's my job and I'm not going to let any other dogs take his domain away from him. For god's sake, we've been walking the same route for the last 3 years.
I love these videos. Beckman teaches the dog and the owner about change in language and communication with each other. Mainly alter the behaviour and communication of the owner towards the dog and the dogs behaviour will alter also, once it understands this different and new language of the leash, the owners instructions/commands, tone of voice, assertiveness, body language, show of authority and so on. Beckman's methods on leash reactivity sorted my dominant rescue dog out to be able to eventually get to say hello to dogs, this video was like the second stage of getting him to behave properly when meeting a dog. He got pinned down a few times by me to calm him down and show my dominance over him. He still try's to be dominant with some dogs but a quick correction by me stops him in his tracks, he know's who is the boss. That lady will be a great owner for that dog, she will take Beckman's advice and use it.
my dog hates the pin by me or any person or dog for that matter but he does well with me turning his back away from the stimuli. he also knows the look at me command and knows when i say it i need his full attention. he can even do the command as dogs and people pass by. he also has a friend command which lets him know its ok to go up to certian dogs but i never let him linger long enough to decide what he wants to with them unless its a play session ofc. doing this has helped him learn to not linger or be too nosey when greeting other dogs. a lot of dogs do not know how to break up the butt sniff and will relentlessly sniff another dog which can cause the other dog to snap at them and cause a fight.
Malinois are habitual line steppers, and they’ve been bred to be 8000rpm dogs 24/7. So definitely a dog you need to be on your game all day when you own one.
"line stepper" is the perfect expression ;)
I think those long corrections are so hard for a layperson (me) to do. It's like "is this even working?? It doesn't seem like it's working. Am I doing it wrong? Am I wrong about everything??" but like Joel and the owner do here - yeah sometimes it does take that long. Once I understood that, I saw a huge change in my dog and her responsiveness to normal corrections.
i've been doing this with my small maltipoo bc he's (despite being neutored) very dominant... i did this thanks to watching a lot of vids! and now my dog responds REALLY well to me.
I believe Cesar Milan had a similar approach, using his dog pack to teach the dog. Nice video.
I work in a pet shop, I've seen very calm Malinois and very hyper ones, one jumped in my face a few times the other day and the owner never addressed it. I also had an American XL bully bark at me, that owner never addressed it either, it's kind of setting them up to fail almost.
Malinois are very smart, fast learners, hard workers, and consistently good dogs. Dog dominance can be fixed. She's skilled and physically capable, they'll be fine 😊
So good to see a competent owner.
Dobermans are pretty chill but they won't take any crap either.
