I want to commend these owners. The woman is obviously skilled and has done a lot of work with this dog. Great that Joel and Prince are able to give them the help they needed. 👍🏻👍🏻
Love to see an owner that takes responsibility in their dog's behaviour and tries everything to help him improve. This woman is amazing in implementing things, I'm sure things are better by now.
She's done an amazing job with what she has. He's very much eager to please her. There's just something going on that's atypical. That's the unpredictable nature of dogs. There's always that one that is the exception to the rule. The one that just out of nowhere does something completely unpredictable. When she says she'll exercise this animal for hours and it still will be a complete nervous wreck, I believe her. This dog would probably die of a heart attack before just calming down and relaxing. Anyone judging her needs to experience a dog like this in person. It's like going through life only meeting happy healthy humans and then suddenly you're meeting a human who's just left the insane asylum who doesn't operate like anyone you've ever met before. Sure you get him to put on some pants and eat a cheeseburger, but you give him a pair of shoes and he starts hitting himself and you with the shoes! Like WTF are you doing?!!? The shoes go on your feet Bro!
Totally agree. It's brilliant to see her so competent and also to realise that she was doing so much right yet still had issues because of some little things that made such a big difference with this dog. The breakdown of these issues was awesome.
i agree; most owners are afraid to put too much pressure on their dogs; you need to tell the dog what you want, else the dog will be just guessing all the time or making their own decisions.
The first thing comes to my mind is that these aussie needs a task, the way he moves and approaches Prince, is literally like he is alert on keeping sheep in order, I think his shepherd’s nature is really taking over. His simply programmed for a specific job and can’t rest without it.
These shepherds are intelligent, super-active, working dogs, with nothing to do. It makes sense that he can't settle down, is constantly treating others like they're the wolves who have come to attack his flock, which he must protect at all times. Getting him exhausted is probably difficult, since his people aren't distance runners, but he really needs to get very tired every day and to have a job. He seems like a hyper-vigilant, under-employed, intelligent, protective dog.
I may have missed something. Did they get a working dog breed because they have a need for his work or are into agility training? Or was he a rescue they thought needed them? If not for either of those reasons then a mutt from a shelter or rescue group makes more sense.
Yup. Working dogs like this dont "get tired after a mile" like she says. That's an excuse for sure. As a Husky/Cattledog mix owner, our dog needs an hour of park play time sprinting in the morning and probably 3-4 miles in the evening to be satisfied and happy. No way this dog only needs a mile.
These dogs are awesome. I’ve had several over my life time but I lived in the country at the time. I used them to help herd cattle and patrol the property. They definitely need a job and they will behave just fine with proper training this dog remarkably improved. I think it will be OK.
I couldn’t agree more. Dogs need a job. If your life is boring l, get a boring dog or don’t have a pet. If you need a working dog give it a job and the life it needs.
That woman is a BOSS!!!!! Took me 3-4 months of walking each of my 3 dogs 2-3 times a day to get the hang of the pop! Bravo!!! And wonderful car advice!!
This woman runs the house. Kids and now the dog. I respect her determination to do what is right by the dog. The husband needs to put some time in with the dog also, regardless of the fact he's not around. Looks like the wife has the brunt of all the hard work. Hats Off!! To the lady.
@@carrielea6009, if it helps, the pop is to the side, down legs bent, and the pop is quick-it is not pulling. It gets them out of what they are focusing on, it startles them, and they start paying attention to you. Quick side POP.
Love this “back to basics” approach where the dog has to “prove” his way forward. Totally shapes impulse control. Excellent! 💪🏼 Hope we can see this dog again on your channel and see the improvement!
Joel can you please extend a thank you to the owners! These as well as all the others provide you business, and us content, and seeing real time work with their dogs is so so helpful, if not difficult for them to deal with. We all support them getting help from you, thank you!
This is a WORKING dog, without a job. Since we got two kittens our GSD Mix has become fantastic. 😂 He has a calling now, at least so he thinks. This Aussie needs work, loose weight and disciple. THEN they will be great family dogs as well. Never seen an Aussie being this difficult. Great vids and teaching here, as always. Thank you!
I love aussies so much. I see the herding/protection anxiety. In my experience they are high strung. Their brains are always working and your advice was so spot on about keeping them guessing. I think one of the easiest things to teach an aussie is "recall" because their main objective is to be glued to their person. Getting them to slow down their brain will never happen, hence the constant vocal whine. Neurosis is definitely an accurate diagnosis. Amazing training session!❤
Australian shepherds and the likes really have a hard time in “modern lifestyle” because most of the time their needs are not being met if you realize that they are used to herding and roam hectares of land!! Great on the female owner to have the mentality of “cut this sht out” and staying calm!
You said exactly what I was thinking. Those sort of dogs can run all day and it's in their dna to want to herd. I find it hard to watch the dog as he seems so frustrated. He needs to be on a working farm working sheep or cattle. He is in beautiful condition but his brain is not being stimulated or being used in the right way, Kudos to the owners, but I wouldn't have a herding dog in an urban setting (I'm only guessing that's the sort of area they live) even if I had access to rural areas/parks etc.
Agree, but what does one do once they have a dog like this? It better be trained or it will end up hurting someone or ruined. We adopted a mini Aussie mix in 2020 from a shelter in TX with many of these problems (we were told she was a Sheltie mix, and maybe she is, but she looks and acts more like an Aussie). I am so thankful for this teaching. I'm using many of these methods and she is so much better than when we got her (including nipping, barking, whining, etc.) The pop has been the single most help! I thank you so much! And, yes, I'm over it with her!!! And we love her.
Really great series. Was good to watch the owners progress as well. Maybe people without sheep who are thinking about buying an Aussie Shepherd will think twice after watching this. The "most Aussie Shepards I've seen are neurotic messes" is correct. They belong on farms, herding sheep. Most that are "pets" will be frustrated for sure. Don't do that to a dog peeps! But anyway. Great series. Loved it ♥️
🥰🥰 ....reminds me of your "they are all Karens" video, where you stated that someone who raises children clearly knows when its time to make clear "cut the crap, I am over it!". This lady does a wonderful job and how quick her reactions are is amazingly good for the first time doing this. Thanks a lot that the couple agreed to show this to the world.
I remember that Karen video and thought it was unjust. The worst “positive reinforcement Karen” I’ve ever known was my mum, and she definitely raised me and my siblings, oddly enough, using lots of corrections and discipline 😂
The personality of this woman is awesome to watch with this dog! All the training in the world will not help if the owner is not in charge. People need to be honest with themselves about how strong of a personality they have to determine what type of dog they can handle. Working dogs are probably more than what 50% of us can handle.
McCoy reminds me very much of my own Aussie from the behavior. My dog was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year and since he gets medication for it, he has become much calmer. Maybe it would not hurt to have him tested by someone who knows about it. It doesn't mean he doesn't need training but it might explain some of his behaviors and help with his training.
“He knows what exit we get off of the freeway and he amps up”. My WLGSD pup 10months old…….knows the way to my partners when we get to his town and starts getting excited as she loves loves LOVES it there. Lol She has horse friends and people friends and lots and lots of open space to play and train with me.
Australian shepherds are absolutely like this when they aren't given strict rules and when those rules aren't enforced. This is the classic picture of a family who didn't know the breed they were choosing.
Such an improvement from day 1 when they were both even struggling with the prong collar. Now at least the dog has some more of a loose leash and can even meet a dog calmly on a loose leash with the gate in between. I think the dog and the owners realize the progress they've both made. Plus the whining seems to be less too - I think partly because the dog getting away with stuff isn't going to work anymore.
I went from a prong to a gentle leader because of Joel. It works so much better and doesn’t have the stigma that the prong collar. I’m really hoping these people have success because that dog is exhausting!
mate...you're the BEST! That dog learned quickly. I have a small dog who pulls constantly until I use popping method to retrain then she's good until next time. I NEED a Gentle Leader
I follow a couple other trainers, who also strongly emphasize the car door boundry method.....so simple, but so crucial !!, and SO effective, IF you put the time in.
Me and my wife are in very similar situation with our Aussie but he is not as aggressive or disobedient as McCoy. This 3 video series are absolutely priceless I will try these steps with our dog. Thanks
That's impressive. All this in one day? That dog is gettin' it'. Watching a metamorphisis begin. Owner does a wonderful job implementing what you're showing her works.
great start! loved this 3 part episode. the top 2 takeaways here were 1) let your dog go and 2) how to make an effective correction. this could've been done on the prong collar she originally came with if she knew how to correct on it appropriately. I'm glad she had success under Joel's direction with the gentle leader. a tool is just a tool; its success is based on the user and in this case, she was able to effectively correct the dog on the gentle leader. her handling (leash pops, pressure, body positioning, body pressure, walk ins, turns, etc) was also terrific. can't wait to see more of his progress.
My daughter and i have both have Aussies - mine is only 10 weeks and gets a little crazy without exercise and play with other dogs as well training and playing with me. My daughters 2 aussies get a 15 km run or bike in the morning and good walk in the evening at the dog park as well they tour ski with, mountain biking and back country hiking. These dogs need stimulating exercise and also need a partnership with their people. They have been bred to be independent thinkers so once they know what is expected of them they don’t require much management.
I think you got them off to a great start. I think their lives are all going to change for the better. I'm looking forward to seeing them when they come back for a follow up session!
My Aussie has never been a problem on a leash....matter of fact, I have always been able to take her even to a pet store without holding the leash at all. I just slap the side of my leg and she stayed next to my leg dragging the leash behind her. Only when another dog came up to her would I hold the leash, not because she would stray away, but I wasn't sure how the other dog was going to react. Never even put much training into it, she just did it....smartest dog I've ever had. My BC is another story....the Gentle Leader was a lifesaver with her. I could run her for an hour straight and she still was impossible to walk without the Gentle Leader. But now that she is 14+ with bad arthritis and cancer, getting her to even walk to the end of the block is a chore. But she's sick, so we let her choose how far she wants to go.
I agree that the gentle leader is one of the best inventions ever! It’s great for training and getting physical advantage and control of a dog, but I always tell my clients that ultimately, the leash and fancy collars/head halters are for safety - the real control is in the relationship you build with your dog. I would have liked to see McCoy getting some positive feedback (a simple “good!” Or “Yes!”) when he was doing well. He did lots of things right, but didn’t get any encouragement. I think he’s smart enough to understand a quick “good” as well as he understands the leash pop. The challenge I’ve run into is client trainer timing their positive reinforcement. These people definitely have their work cut out for them, but I have lots of hope for McCoy because his Mom is really a great student! Best of luck to all involved!
This was a great trilogy. The woman was freakin great listening to your suggestions and following through. Bravo to her. Your Prince is no different than any health care worker, they don't do it because it's easy, they do it because it's their job and it's helpful to others. I wonder sometimes how many reactive dogs never got checked as puppies by their Momma or early socialized. Nothing better then puppies being put in their place. Prince does the checking just on a much more extreme level and that level of checking down the road could be a life saver to a smaller dog caught up in the reactiveness of this Aussie . Prince would have been a fabulous rescue hero dog of any kind, he just has all the skills!
You can already see a massive improvement in the pup. You have to teach them YOU are the leader of the pack, not the dog. Another helpful thing to do is feed them after you and the family eat. The omega eats last.
Many of us have felt our tired bodies and spirits suddenly relax when we are with our dogs. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that dogs have a healing effect. The reason why dogs have a healing effect is that they are more loyal than other animals and they trust their owners wholeheartedly. Their eyes and gestures toward their owners express with their whole body that they trust you. When you go to work, they express their loneliness, and when you come home, they jump around and wag their tails to show their happiness. What do you think when you see this? It should make you feel happy to know that you are trusted and loved. Feeling truly loved brings healing to the human heart. Humans feel happy and healed when they are loved by dogs. When you put a dog on your lap or stroke its head, you can feel its warmth through your skin.🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐶🐶🐶🐶💖💖💖💖
Yes, to the comments commending the pet parent. Joel thank you for sharing the importance of Prince's work and for sure gentle leader should sponsor you! .....and I still think McCoy needs a job herding some goats!
I watched quite a few of your videos now and love them all, it would be awesome to see follow up videos months later on each client whether they've progressed or regressed.
Did you ever consider the Dogs job as introducing him to sheep herding? Maybe that will help his mental stimuli? I just found your UA-cam channel today and I am loving it. Thank you so much. Your training is so common sense!
Joel is the best dog trainer that i have ever seen he knows what he is talking about i just love when he gives the dog's a little pop on the lead they look at him as if to say i will not be doing that again and what can I say about Prince he is not stressed out he has a job to do and he does it perfect he will put a dog in their places with out hurting them it looks as if he is saying enough for this.
GREAT video Joel !! Really shows and explains,the CORRECT way , to give a correction... on a loose leash !!!... Hope it helps alot of people !! Gentle leaders DO work !!!!... Aussies can definately B challenging ..ALOT of exercise every day helps.!!!!
I Like the Work you did with the dogs. You and Cesar Milan are the best Trainer for Dogs with Problems. I want you to put you at the same step like Cesar Milan because you and him did the same work and it helps a lot of Dogs and People. It#s not only to training the Dogs, the Owner has to learn to. ! Thank you for your Work and your Videos.
By about the 16 min mark McCoy the Aussie is thinking " what just happened? Where am I? What's happened to my old reality? Jeeze, I better figure out a way to adjust , and quickly!! This lady ain't playing!!"
Joel is the best dog trainer that i have ever seen he knows what he is talking about i just love when he gives the dog's a little pop on the lead they look at him as if to say i will not be doing that again and what can I say about Prince he is not stressed out he has a job to do and he does it perfect he will put a dog in their places with out hurting them it looks as if he is say enough is enough for this.well done ✅ Prince just love this dog 🐩.he is so sweet and so cute at the same time.
Great session. I was raised around stock dogs on the farm. They are not for the faint of heart. As an adult I still prefer stock dogs. Their energy, loyalty and intelligence is unmatched.
Yep! Same concept as if you were leaving your house for a walk. I don’t leave until I know my dog is paying attention to me and listening and not just walking off on his own. Love it! I hope you do a video with Cesar Millan someday😊
I had a German Shepherd that was extremely protective of family. We were generally scared to have friends or family around because he was so protective. I wish we had someone to help us train our dog like you train these dogs. Iron sharpens iron. Dogs train dogs.
I love this guy’s training! I have good babies but they are STRONG and they PULL. (esp when they gotta go ya know). I’m taking notes!😎thanks for teaching us!
After my Belgian Malinois Asko died in the January 2021. I start looking videos from all the Authors on the UA-cam that I found, read the books, learn about the dog behaviour and everything around the dogs and even other animals to try to understand the animals in order to be able to not only love them but also to help them to live happy life. Now, beside the Cesar Milan who is a great man and dog trainer, In my opinion Mr. Beckmann is a real deal. I don’t know him and my goal is not to advertise him in any way, but I have to say that he understand and know everything. Long story short, after my Asko died in January 2021. I bought the Kan in March 2021. Kan is also Belgian Malinois, I just love this breed. I go with all the things that Mr. Beckmann say in many videos and play with my puppies for the first 9 months, enjoying the time with little maligator;-) Two weeks ago, I start to work on basic obedience just following the suggested methods and could say that the result is amazing. After two weeks we walk on a loose leash, came when I call him, seat and so on. So, the understanding that Mr. Beckmann has and the good will that he is willing to give everyone is just amazing. So, Mr. Beckmann thank you very much for being let just say great and keep doing amazing work! Thanks!
It is remarkable how some people fully understand animals, whereas most don' have the slightest idea. I've seen this with videos of horse handlers also.
Prince is an awesome dog and has a great life. All dogs aren’t lap dogs. Some have a purpose and Prince is here to teach other dogs how to behave. Great techniques you and Prince are the dynamic duo ;)
What a great video. This is just how my Doberman acts. I have walked her one time with the new gentle lead and it makes a difference. Thank you so much. I just want to walk by other people who have dogs!! I have hope now.
Never and Always are Big words, especially when rehabbing a creature well-known for living in the moment (=on instincts) ... Maybe a point to ponder when the dog starts showing signs of wanting to change and being more obedient (=responsive) to the master's commands is to try waiting a bit longer to reward the State of Mind more than the Behavior. In this way, the dog Master can reach the ultimate goal of having the dog attain a more peaceful and relaxed state of mind. This should inevitably lower everyone's anxiousness level by a lot as well as greatly diminish the dogs whining. if not eliminate it altogether. Thanks for sharing these great videos and big kudos to the ultimate dog master Prince whose corrections are absolutely priceless.
I am so glad your videos came up on UA-cam! I have been struggling with my 3 mini schauzers for so long that I have basically given up. Your videos give me hope that I can make a difference in my family's lives and the lives of my dogs. I can totally see that this will make them happier in the long run. There won't be any more second guessing or getting mixed messages. Thank you so much for the work you do! And for Prince! He is amazing!
I love this channel!!!! Has helped me so much with my own aussie mix!! Cannot give enough praise. I am a basic obedience trainer and I'm learning so much about behavioral issues through you! Thanks so much. (And to think I was about to drop 2000 dollars on a trainer who growls at dogs.. 😅)
The owner has incredible technique and you've done so well with them all! I love the moment in the office with the reassurance with the gentle leader too, starting to build a relationship and respect. Glad I watched all 3 to the end, it much better reflects the process and the work involved. Definitely more of these!
This trilogy was better than the final Star Wars trilogy that Disney released. Also, "Gentle Leader" needs to sponsor you.
Underrated comment 👏
That new trilogy doesn’t count as Star Wars. That was an alternate universe to the real Star Wars
This dog has a stronger character arc than every character in the Disney Trilogy.
Oh come on!!!🤣😅😂
This.
I want to commend these owners. The woman is obviously skilled and has done a lot of work with this dog. Great that Joel and Prince are able to give them the help they needed. 👍🏻👍🏻
fr choosing the wrong dog too

The shoes go on your feet Bro!
This guy looks like he is ALWAYS on the lookout for 1,000 sheep to herd!!!!!!!!!! He looks like he would be in ABSOLUTE HEAVEN on a sheep farm!!!!
This owner is doing fabulously!! What a relief it must be for her to be getting these kinds of results on leash.
Totally agree. It's brilliant to see her so competent and also to realise that she was doing so much right yet still had issues because of some little things that made such a big difference with this dog. The breakdown of these issues was awesome.

this dog has a mental issue
This door method is pure GOLD. I use it and it WORKS! EVERYONE should use, it works w kids too LOL.
Love the "cut the crap" energy that owner gives off. 👌 Excellent! 👌
That woman is a BOSS!!!!! Took me 3-4 months of walking each of my 3 dogs 2-3 times a day to get the hang of the pop! Bravo!!! And wonderful car advice!!
I haven’t gotten the hang of it yet, but it is tremendously anyway!

I’m not keen on the pulling pop of the neck I think some people could truly hurt their dogs neck
@@TASIAawful1 Extremely doubtful that it will damage a strong dog.
Love this “back to basics” approach where the dog has to “prove” his way forward. Totally shapes impulse control. Excellent! 💪🏼 Hope we can see this dog again on your channel and see the improvement!
Or “graduate” to the next step

This lady was awesome. I LOVE how fearless she is in providing her dog the structure it SO yurns for. 👏 This dog is in GREAT hands.
I Like that when she “releases” him that she knows not to pet him or condone his behavior.
McCoy's probably one of the heaviest breathers ive seen on this channel by far

It's good for training your dog 1 amzn.to/3FUj8bw
Exactly! A majority of working breeds needs aren’t being met in a typical modern lifestyle.

@12:00 minutes the dog walking with gentle leader on and walks nearly perfectly after one proper leash pop
McCoy reminds me very much of my own Aussie from the behavior. My dog was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year and since he gets medication for it, he has become much calmer. Maybe it would not hurt to have him tested by someone who knows about it. It doesn't mean he doesn't need training but it might explain some of his behaviors and help with his training.

I am impressed with the owner's dedication and persistence going through all of the hard work. Well done
I follow a couple other trainers, who also strongly emphasize the car door boundry method.....so simple, but so crucial !!, and SO effective, IF you put the time in.
Me and my wife are in very similar situation with our Aussie but he is not as aggressive or disobedient as McCoy. This 3 video series are absolutely priceless I will try these steps with our dog. Thanks
The owners are a godsend to that beautiful but ramped up dog. I saw LOTS of improvement in his behavior; there is hope for a good family dog here :-)
That's impressive. All this in one day? That dog is gettin' it'. Watching a metamorphisis begin. Owner does a wonderful job implementing what you're showing her works.
great start! loved this 3 part episode. the top 2 takeaways here were 1) let your dog go and 2) how to make an effective correction. this could've been done on the prong collar she originally came with if she knew how to correct on it appropriately. I'm glad she had success under Joel's direction with the gentle leader. a tool is just a tool; its success is based on the user and in this case, she was able to effectively correct the dog on the gentle leader. her handling (leash pops, pressure, body positioning, body pressure, walk ins, turns, etc) was also terrific. can't wait to see more of his progress.
My daughter and i have both have Aussies - mine is only 10 weeks and gets a little crazy without exercise and play with other dogs as well training and playing with me. My daughters 2 aussies get a 15 km run or bike in the morning and good walk in the evening at the dog park as well they tour ski with, mountain biking and back country hiking. These dogs need stimulating exercise and also need a partnership with their people. They have been bred to be independent thinkers so once they know what is expected of them they don’t require much management.
I think you got them off to a great start. I think their lives are all going to change for the better. I'm looking forward to seeing them when they come back for a follow up session!
My Aussie has never been a problem on a leash....matter of fact, I have always been able to take her even to a pet store without holding the leash at all. I just slap the side of my leg and she stayed next to my leg dragging the leash behind her. Only when another dog came up to her would I hold the leash, not because she would stray away, but I wasn't sure how the other dog was going to react. Never even put much training into it, she just did it....smartest dog I've ever had.
My BC is another story....the Gentle Leader was a lifesaver with her. I could run her for an hour straight and she still was impossible to walk without the Gentle Leader. But now that she is 14+ with bad arthritis and cancer, getting her to even walk to the end of the block is a chore. But she's sick, so we let her choose how far she wants to go.
she's a natural and willing to learn more! great owner
She is a great handler! Before and after! Really well done and awesome progress
This lady is amazing. Wow she showed such skill. She is good! Actions have consequences, great strategy Beckman.
“he must meet all prerequisites before(earn) entering the house “
I agree that the gentle leader is one of the best inventions ever! It’s great for training and getting physical advantage and control of a dog, but I always tell my clients that ultimately, the leash and fancy collars/head halters are for safety - the real control is in the relationship you build with your dog. I would have liked to see McCoy getting some positive feedback (a simple “good!” Or “Yes!”) when he was doing well. He did lots of things right, but didn’t get any encouragement. I think he’s smart enough to understand a quick “good” as well as he understands the leash pop. The challenge I’ve run into is client trainer timing their positive reinforcement. These people definitely have their work cut out for them, but I have lots of hope for McCoy because his Mom is really a great student! Best of luck to all involved!
McCoy's mom is doing fantastic. This video is so helpful in understanding leash popping.
This was a great trilogy. The woman was freakin great listening to your suggestions and following through. Bravo to her. Your Prince is no different than any health care worker, they don't do it because it's easy, they do it because it's their job and it's helpful to others. I wonder sometimes how many reactive dogs never got checked as puppies by their Momma or early socialized. Nothing better then puppies being put in their place. Prince does the checking just on a much more extreme level and that level of checking down the road could be a life saver to a smaller dog caught up in the reactiveness of this Aussie . Prince would have been a fabulous rescue hero dog of any kind, he just has all the skills!
You can already see a massive improvement in the pup. You have to teach them YOU are the leader of the pack, not the dog. Another helpful thing to do is feed them after you and the family eat. The omega eats last.
It does! I do this too. I am the captain. My cats are my lieutenants and my dog is the Private First Class.
The woman is brilliant with the dog and I'm sure she will get a massive improvement from the dog after all the advise you gave.
Many of us have felt our tired bodies and spirits suddenly relax when we are with our dogs. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that dogs have a healing effect. The reason why dogs have a healing effect is that they are more loyal than other animals and they trust their owners wholeheartedly. Their eyes and gestures toward their owners express with their whole body that they trust you. When you go to work, they express their loneliness, and when you come home, they jump around and wag their tails to show their happiness. What do you think when you see this? It should make you feel happy to know that you are trusted and loved. Feeling truly loved brings healing to the human heart. Humans feel happy and healed when they are loved by dogs. When you put a dog on your lap or stroke its head, you can feel its warmth through your skin.🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐶🐶🐶🐶💖💖💖💖
man’s best friend
Yes, to the comments commending the pet parent. Joel thank you for sharing the importance of Prince's work and for sure gentle leader should sponsor you! .....and I still think McCoy needs a job herding some goats!
I watched quite a few of your videos now and love them all, it would be awesome to see follow up videos months later on each client whether they've progressed or regressed.
That dog is so smart
Did you ever consider the Dogs job as introducing him to sheep herding? Maybe that will help his mental stimuli? I just found your UA-cam channel today and I am loving it. Thank you so much. Your training is so common sense!
She is doing an amazing job in this video
Wow, that dog has really trained her well.
Joel is the best dog trainer that i have ever seen he knows what he is talking about i just love when he gives the dog's a little pop on the lead they look at him as if to say i will not be doing that again and what can I say about Prince he is not stressed out he has a job to do and he does it perfect he will put a dog in their places with out hurting them it looks as if he is saying enough for this.
My dog and pup don't have these issues, but I thought this 3 part series, was extremely good.
GREAT video Joel !! Really shows and explains,the CORRECT way , to give a correction... on a loose leash !!!... Hope it helps alot of people !! Gentle leaders DO work !!!!... Aussies can definately B challenging ..ALOT of exercise every day helps.!!!!
Gentle Leaders effectively used can greatly expand a dog's world! 👍❤️
I Like the Work you did with the dogs. You and Cesar Milan are the best Trainer for Dogs with Problems. I want you to put you at the same step like Cesar Milan because you and him did the same work and it helps a lot of Dogs and People. It#s not only to training the Dogs, the Owner has to learn to. !
Thank you for your Work and your Videos.
He said “don’t get the van” then films it the whole time😂
By about the 16 min mark McCoy the Aussie is thinking " what just happened? Where am I? What's happened to my old reality? Jeeze, I better figure out a way to adjust , and quickly!! This lady ain't playing!!"
Joel is the best dog trainer that i have ever seen he knows what he is talking about i just love when he gives the dog's a little pop on the lead they look at him as if to say i will not be doing that again and what can I say about Prince he is not stressed out he has a job to do and he does it perfect he will put a dog in their places with out hurting them it looks as if he is say enough is enough for this.well done ✅ Prince just love this dog 🐩.he is so sweet and so cute at the same time.
Same problem with my Australian shepherd. Going to start this training. Thank you.
You can tell who’s the boss in this relationship 😂
👍🏽
Go back to the first video and look at how she walked in with the dog.
Look at her now walking him in this video 💪🏼
Great session. I was raised around stock dogs on the farm. They are not for the faint of heart. As an adult I still prefer stock dogs. Their energy, loyalty and intelligence is unmatched.
But how many pups out of a stick dog litter go to a working situation 😢.
@@jetv1471 I don't know. I don't live on a farm anymore. Mine don't work but I still prefer them.
My Aussie is the same. This trilogy was incredibly helpful.
Fantastic 3 part training! Prince is a great ⭐️ assistant too! Thank you for posting these valuable videos…
SHES AMAZING!
Yep! Same concept as if you were leaving your house for a walk. I don’t leave until I know my dog is paying attention to me and listening and not just walking off on his own. Love it! I hope you do a video with Cesar Millan someday😊
Now that mama has the knowledge she's not takin' it.
I had a German Shepherd that was extremely protective of family. We were generally scared to have friends or family around because he was so protective. I wish we had someone to help us train our dog like you train these dogs. Iron sharpens iron. Dogs train dogs.
Wow, he’s so much better in one day!
I can watch these videos all day and I don’t even own a dog! 😊
I love this guy’s training! I have good babies but they are STRONG and they PULL. (esp when they gotta go ya know). I’m taking notes!😎thanks for teaching us!
This was so good to see. She gona make it. Good jobb
She’s hired!
After my Belgian Malinois Asko died in the January 2021. I start looking videos from all the Authors on the UA-cam that I found, read the books, learn about the dog behaviour and everything around the dogs and even other animals to try to understand the animals in order to be able to not only love them but also to help them to live happy life.
Now, beside the Cesar Milan who is a great man and dog trainer, In my opinion Mr. Beckmann is a real deal.
I don’t know him and my goal is not to advertise him in any way, but I have to say that he understand and know everything.
Long story short, after my Asko died in January 2021. I bought the Kan in March 2021. Kan is also Belgian Malinois, I just love this breed. I go with all the things that Mr. Beckmann say in many videos and play with my puppies for the first 9 months, enjoying the time with little maligator;-) Two weeks ago, I start to work on basic obedience just following the suggested methods and could say that the result is amazing. After two weeks we walk on a loose leash, came when I call him, seat and so on. So, the understanding that Mr. Beckmann has and the good will that he is willing to give everyone is just amazing.
So, Mr. Beckmann thank you very much for being let just say great and keep doing amazing work! Thanks!
It is remarkable how some people fully understand animals, whereas most don' have the slightest idea. I've seen this with videos of horse handlers also.
Brilliant improvement. Well done to the owner she made great strides very capable👏👏👏👏
Prince is an awesome dog and has a great life. All dogs aren’t lap dogs. Some have a purpose and Prince is here to teach other dogs how to behave. Great techniques you and Prince are the dynamic duo ;)
What a great video. This is just how my Doberman acts. I have walked her one time with the new gentle lead and it makes a difference. Thank you so much. I just want to walk by other people who have dogs!! I have hope now.
Another great video to complete the crazy Aussie series 💪☺️
Never and Always are Big words, especially when rehabbing a creature well-known for living in the moment (=on instincts) ...
Maybe a point to ponder when the dog starts showing signs of wanting to change and being more obedient (=responsive) to the master's commands is to try waiting a bit longer to reward
the State of Mind more than the Behavior. In this way, the dog Master can reach the ultimate goal of having the dog attain a more peaceful and relaxed state of mind. This should inevitably lower everyone's anxiousness level by a lot as well as greatly diminish the dogs whining. if not eliminate it altogether. Thanks for sharing these great videos and big kudos to the ultimate dog master Prince whose corrections are absolutely priceless.
I am so glad your videos came up on UA-cam! I have been struggling with my 3 mini schauzers for so long that I have basically given up. Your videos give me hope that I can make a difference in my family's lives and the lives of my dogs. I can totally see that this will make them happier in the long run. There won't be any more second guessing or getting mixed messages. Thank you so much for the work you do! And for Prince! He is amazing!
Whining will stop when he settles down and feel less anxious.
at the end, around 19 min, dog lays down and pants, seconds between whines!
This was incredible to watch!
I love watching progress on these tough cases!
I love this channel!!!! Has helped me so much with my own aussie mix!! Cannot give enough praise. I am a basic obedience trainer and I'm learning so much about behavioral issues through you! Thanks so much. (And to think I was about to drop 2000 dollars on a trainer who growls at dogs.. 😅)
Absolutely loved this 3 parter
Amazing training!
The owner has incredible technique and you've done so well with them all! I love the moment in the office with the reassurance with the gentle leader too, starting to build a relationship and respect. Glad I watched all 3 to the end, it much better reflects the process and the work involved. Definitely more of these!
Thanks for the gentle leader explanation im excited to try again tomorrow with it.
Love the videos!!! Thank you!!!
Very great tips Joel, thank you. I enjoyed watching this 3 part series of this tricky dog and his owners! Looking forward to updates :)
