Also don't ever lean down towards a dogs face…this guy is a weirdo…he also slows down when the dog does.
my dog has this problem but how can i reward him when he’s does good ? he doesn’t even want to look at a treat when he’s outside .
Mate…your videos/demonstrations are top notch…I am learning so much, simply because of your thoroughness in demonstrating the interaction with the dog. Real life stuff.
I have a 4.5 month old GSD pup and I'm working on his reactive tendencies… learning from your videos…thank you
Im just here bc I love these videos and would love to see a video going through the process of how to help with leash reactivity while taking the dog out of the car to take a walk somewhere in public aside from its home. Its a bit more hectic of a situation when dealing with the excitement from a car ride and new places. Just some examples of what steps to take and what boundaries to set for the dog and where to restart things.
Joel, i just wanted to say thank you for putting up this video! my baby is a cane corso mix and she has been having issues with what i thought was nervousness but was mixed with reactivity as well. she was consistently snapping her had back on walks to see whats going on behind her and sometimes would bump into me and try to run 2 feet in front of me whenever she was triggered. And this would be by cars making loud noises,dogs barking or just existing, literally could be ANYTHING extremely loud or soft outside she would get her head on a swivel to turn around and it was incredible hard to control her head and break that fixation to turn around in that moment and i really took my time trying to match methods with dogs behavior and griffin was the closest to how the behave. we did more than a 10 min walk in the area getting comfortable with the gentle leader and then we pushed to start working on her triggers in distraction areas it was like a HUGE difference in how breaking the fixation made her realize “hey maybe i shouldnt be doing this so much?” and we continue to work on it for more than 40 min and by the end it wasnt perfect but there was a light at the end of the tunnel 😭 we even ran into a (good boy) off leash dog and we did the same method it it was crazy how well it worked!!! THANK YOU ❤️ we will keep this up!!
Um….. Lots of nonsense here. Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer 😢
How do I walk both my dogs at once? Would love instruction on this please. Griffin seems to have some stiffness/soreness in his walk?
Question: My dog responds to correction and redirection when we have a mild/moderate reaction to something like a dog, person.
However, when an Amazon truck or bicycle comes, he absolutely LOSES IT. The best I can do is correct and walk him away from the "threat" until it passes. Any tips?
Iv got an infront dog. Doesnt pull once infront but nevertheless he has to be infront.
He not friendly to anything other than his crew.
I find the best way to keep him from that no return point is to constantly loosely tug and talk him to him , " dont worry bout it, nothing to do with u, non of your buisness, he dont want fight, you gonna to get the electric chair one day, easy",, lol all that. Works 90percent of time.
He still huffing n puffing, chest out , waiting to catch a case but he not demon mode.
My dogs fkd
Love him to death but he fkd.
I think my problem is my dog gets to defcon 4 and then it's too late to calm him down…like you said…I have no chance at that point. Is it okay to go in the other direction when we see a dog coming? Or does that send the wrong message to the dog?
Your video makes sense. Thank you!❤. My mini lab freaks out at every dog. She acts like a crazy squirrel on a leash.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate the real life demonstration and how you explained everything you were doing and why you were doing it.
Beckman, I want the dog that freaks out. Griffin got a little testy but he definitely wasn't freaking out. My 5 month GSD goes bananas with people and dogs. Not aggressive, just wants to sniff and play. But anytime a person or dog is within 50 feet, he is LASER focused on them and forgets I'm alive. I do all the other things in this video too. Regularly
I think this may be one of my favorite videos you've done. It really highlights how, as a trainer, you need to understand how to problem solve and avoid the whack-a-mole effect. Too much focus on food alone diminishes a trainer's toolbox, our current culture certainly doesn't help. Great stuff.
Finally a trainer who addresses the fact that the treats cannot compete with the distractions at all!
I’m going to try this with my GSD but with a muzzle. I have tried this and he redirects if discipline is used. But with a muzzle (he is muzzle conditioned) I will be able to communicate better with him 👍
I want to try this but my dog is a VERY strong puller 🥹
Yes he s limping..
I want to thank you so much for the wonderful tips. After watching a few of your videos I was able to learn a lot, and this video was a HUGE help, first of all, I was able to learn all about leash reactivity and what to do and not to do. Second of all, the gentle leader helped A LOT, because I have tried so many different collars and methods, yet nothing worked and the walks were stressful with him. He is an 11-month-old mix breed dog and he is full of energy and he wants to sniff everything, not to mention the lunging at others, but this video and the gentle leader saved my life and for the first time, in a long time, I had A NORMAL WALK! Thank you so much!
Great advice!!! Thanks!
It looks a little bit like the dog is limping.
I do NOT agree with letting dogs fight for any reason, with or without a muzzle on. For training or not.
Prayers I can help my rescue. Aggression has been growing lately. Him and his brother were dumped near my house this time last year. He recently bit my husband after a tussle over a toy with his brother. Two beautiful boys, and just little puppies, dumped in the cold of winter. I love him to bits. Worried I can't fix this issue. He's strong as an ox. If I win a lottery I am going to get training with Beckmann for the both of us.
Where I live, we get a LOT of tourists and they bring their dogs. About 90% of the time, they are using a useless retractable leash and have no control of their dogs. To avoid building up to leash reactivity, because I could see my dog starting to do it, I trained him to sit quietly as dogs go by, no matter how they are acting. I don't have to tell him, he does it by himself after about a week of training, no treats required.
This is a dog who wants to engage every dog, but I learned, a long time ago with a past dog of mine, that is not always a good idea. That past dog was attacked and never got his dog aggression out of him. I am now picky about which dogs my current dog will greet, and it's mainly based on how the human handles their dog.
What I struggle with is trying to put these methods into action when the other dogs i encounter on walks continue walking towards us
