Joel, 8 months ago I was completely lost with my dog. I considered giving him back, because I was so out of my element. Your videos and inspiration on consistency in training absolutely saved our relationship. My dog is now a joy for others to be around, he listens when I give him instruction, and his recall is close to 100.0%. Thank you a million, Joel.

[@professorm3136]

What age is your dog and how is your recall when playing with other dogs?

[@bronsonboucher3661]

@@professorm3136 i got him when he was just over a year old, and he will be two in March. high energy hunting/working breed, catahoula leopard. with other dogs around / playing, I may have to call two or more times to get his attention (after three calls, I am on top of him and pulling his butt to where I said he needs to be). but once he knows I've asked him to do something he realizes it simply isn't worth it to resist. Joel calls it learned helplessness, and it absolutely works.

That poor lab is like, who the hell is prince my dude?, prince dont want to come lol

[@pantloaded]

I like using "stay" something that always builds anticipation to teach a reliable "come" because they're SOO hype to finally be ALLOWED to come!

[@abettermind]

I'm of the opinion that the "stay" command does more harm than good. Every command should have an unspoken "stay" attached to it. The dog should maintain their command until given the "break" command. Our break command is "free" but it's the same thing. With that said, we did use "stay" when the puppy was very young, but phased it out as soon as he understood what was expected.

[@DenaInWyo]

This 15 minute video has done more for me than a $1400 training program. We flunked out of sit means sit. Do not recommend for small dogs, or at least sensitive little demons like mine. I could write a mini thesis on all the reasons that was the wrong program for us and how ripped off I feel...but....3 twenty minute sessions of practicing this and I have a pug who comes when she's called. We will continue to work on this a ton, because out of ALL the things I want my dog to mind me on, this is the #1 most important. THANK YOU.

[@DenaInWyo]

Cane corsos are NO JOKE when it comes to training, so whatever you decide, I hope your son follows through diligently. Only 7 lbs? Is it a newborn? lol That said, that program was not the right fit for us by any means. I don't need to have my pug face me on a platform, walk on different surfaces, or have her head hang down and tail uncurl whenever I put that damned collar on (the trainer told me a 6 mo old puppy was "manipulating" me by getting scared and unhappy over an e-collar that scared her). I just need her to come when she's called and poop outside (and we handled that part already). Worked great for my son's lab, was like flushing money down the toilet for me. Literally just called her from downstairs, across the house, and she came running at top speed.

You are a legend boss! 😁 I tried this on my 2 year old dog, who I had given up on come recall. She kept running away from me the moment I tried grabbing her collar. But I made sure I chased her down and brought her back to the same place. Three times and the fourth time she let me grab her collar without any issues. And she walked down two floors when I said come. Super win! Just in 15 minutes. I need to do this everyday. Thanks a ton!!!

[@brent9516]

[@stevietalk1]

Great - key is consistency to ALWAYS following up ! NEVER give a command or ask something that you won’t follow up on if it’s ignored - wilfully, for fun or b/c of distraction . When training, I keep a 6 ft. leash on, even in the house so I can easily get & retrieve. Any training like stay/sit/down etc .. NEEDS to be followed up on after the FIRST command/ask .. don’t repeat command .. dog becomes lazy b/c there’s no immediate follow up. Always follow through - that is the borders//boundaries. Allowing them to KNOW what you expect from them.. where they fit in the pack - happy dog ❣️

He has had some very good professional training, but "Come" is not something that he knows or simply chooses to ignore. I have already started him today, incorporating what is shown here. He is highly food-motivated and bright, so hopefully he will grasp the concept quickly.

[@laramiegrinde9246]

I think you're doing something here that some people may not notice. You're giving Cooper a release. You're telling him when it's ok to go do his own thing. So it's much more clear to him when you need him back because it's so different than when you turn him loose to play. It's very cool. You're so clear on "hey I need you to come", then "hey, we're done, you can go play with your buddy." I LOVE THIS!

[@stephaniedaigle4794]

Except when you’re in “Training mode”, if you want the dog to Learn, you need to have him “ FOCUSED, And NOT distracted, …. especialy for the first several Sessions! You can start to introduce this, “with” distractions “after” he’s learned the command… ! If not you’re just gonna overwhel the dog! Also, this is an older dog too, so that is why he’s able to get it a bit faster than say, a smaller puppy …. you shouldn’t wait until a dog is that old to teach recall though … !

After watching a good amount of Joels videos I realized that in my impatience I just never let him blow me off and I did everything right, unknowingly. I was so lucky with that dog in so many aspects. Still, poor thing for having to be the first dog of an impatient 13 y/o, but he laid such important groundwork for every dog to come.

Some background, I spent 15 years working with animals at a shelter and was injured on the job when a dog swept my legs out from under me and I ruptured a disk in my back. I adopted a dog to train as a service dog and had a facility that we went to weekly for training. I could never get the recall to stick with the methods they were using. I pretty much gave up on training her because of this. Your methods have given me confidence that she will come back to me.

#Moreglob - I’m at the same 80% with my dog. He knows it’s good when he comes, there’s only positive results. But at times he’s just too distracted, and sometimes just even willfully ignoring the command! Redoubling my efforts with the grab and treat will be a big help, I think.

Recall is much easier to train if you use a 20-20ft long line in order to kind of reel them in if they ignore you, give treat, praise then rinse and repeat. Don't do overly long training sessions, the dog will get bored and less cooperative. That's how we did in when training our Rotts in Scheutzhund, we also did more than on type of training exercise in one hour sessions a couple of times a day.

All of my dogs that I have been personally responsible for have been working dogs, specifically guide dogs. My first guide 23 years ago was a pint-size black Lab. I was a noive handler and disappointed that I got a Lab because I'd been told by others that "Labs are dumb". I wanted a GSD. Long story short, little Filly was anything but dumb. I called her my pocket rocket. She was a lot of dog for me then, given my lack of experience and skills, yet she always did her best for me. I'll always have a soft spot for Labs and someday, I'm gonna have another one... or two or three. But yes repetition and consistency are keys to success in relationship building and dog training. A wise trainer once told me: "You get from the dog what you put out. If you want a better dog, then learn to be a better human. Or rehome that dog."

From my experience, the amount of urgency in the voice contributes sometimes to get a good recall in critical situations. Volumes sometimes beats excitement. And being short and poppy with the articulation of the command is indeed very helpful for longer distances. Shepherds commands are good examples to learn from, I figured. I experience, that trampling sometimes also helps, since I usually approach my juvenile criminal very quickly to interrupt unwanted behavior. He knows that my patience ended, when I run towards him. Sometimes though, I feel that to praise the dog for coming too early, is counterproductive. Not sure on this one yet, though. Great content, as always. Love your channel and learn a lot at the moment.

I have a doggiedaycare in Denmark and almost every time I watch one of your videos, I can take some good advice and use it as a tool when working with my wonderful pack of dogs. I have never seen u being afraid or insecure with any of the dogs u have in your training. Amazing work u are doing! All the best 🙏for you and your family and all the dogs 🇩🇰

[@joshstorie246]

Sure you should own a dog day care when you don't even know super simple stuff 😂😂

[@alygrass5090]

I appreciate that it gets recognized with the go get method that it’s not all about treats and that your energy matters to show the dog you were not just giving them an option, but a command. I have many close friends and family that refuse to be stern in anyway with their dogs so the dogs end up not understanding the consequences of having to do the task whether they want to or not. Also that he showcased very well that it’s done without by over correcting or being angry.

[@rachelm7525]

This is just what we need! Only we will use a long line, our boy is a runner! Thanks! 🙂

[@royhobbs4766]

Never trained with treats ..my dog works for her food. She only eats when the family gets done. If I do give her a treat on occasion. She won't eat it until I set down. She knows her place and her job. Good video

[@graycegoodson2674]

i have teared up over HOW GOOD MY BOXER IS AFTER THIS VIDEO. she used to run all over the yard and bark and lunge for quite literally hours if I asked her to come inside.

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

Cooper wants your treats, that’s why he is following you around. Haha- very smart dog!

[@allthingsharbor]

Finally ! A dog training video wherein a dog is actually being trained so viewers can see what happens in real life and learn what to do next. (I use basically the same techniques to train my dogs. Yes, that 'grab' of the collar or to attach a leash is like sealing the deal. However I add a click with the treat...no, not with some silly clicking device but a tongue in cheek click that means I can always make the click. )

[@Blacksheep12267]

For what it's worth... I applied a chaining technique with my puppy. Listen "the dog name" with a gesture or you need to listen post then the come command.provided there was a response to listen. (You can also do down, stay, speak, house, car or leave it). For bonus fun... Change the language keep the inflection and gesture. Makes a great parlor trick. Really enjoy your content and think your fundamentals are solid. I do love my Dobe. Training her is as easy as getting wet in rainstorm. (Until she disagrees and throws a tantrum. Then it takes some skill and effort)

[@NotFalling4it]

I really love your no nonsense training. Super clear, precise and effective. Thank you.

[@maryreinhardt8661]

Thank you for this! My 16 month old pup was dismissed from PetCo's obedience class in Albuquerque because the trainer decided he was untrainable. This video is fantastic, because you show training the skill to a pup who has not learned it perfectly. I did my first training session with my pup about a half an hour ago and it worked. We will keep practicing it. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@mssdn8976]

That says much more about the trainer than your dog

[@wolfcl0ck]

Cooper is such a sweetie, I love how Joel keeps letting him go off and play and he just prefers to be around him anyway. I can imagine that can make it kinda difficult to train some behaviors, though.

[@redwitch12]

Cooper: "I wanna stick with the guy who's got the snacks and pets, darn it!"

[@leemonk384]

It's a Lab..... they always go where the food is :) (I have two Frenchies that are the same!)

[@BirgitPratcherauthor]

I know that's right, lol. We have 5 dogs, all but one are rescues. One is a bit of a struggle, but he's just 10 months. Our newest rescue, another husky, acts a lot like Cooper. He tries to stay as close to me as possible. He's about 12 months. In order to train recall I actually have to have one of the other dogs out to distract him. So by the time he's feeling secure enough to leave my side he should be well trained on recall. People have told us for 20 years that huskies are impossible to train, but that's not really true. It just takes a tiny bit more patience.

[@dalehepworth1647]

The different technique for a dog under 9 months compared to an older dog is invaluable information. Took me a little bit to understand why the training methods i had used to successfully train my first dog ( a 1 year old rescue ) to a perfect level were not working well with my current puppy ( a 6 month old rescue ). It's these small details that can be easily missed and make a huge difference to the end result and the bond you form with your dog early on.

[@hoendygaming3201]

I was watching the beginning of the video and laughed when coup didn’t come because it reminded me of trying to get my golden to listen and he jus won’t, then towards the end I was really impressed how coup ignored prince and came right to you.

[@salman11223344]

You’re the most genuine trainer out there Joel to be honest and a life savers for dog owners. I have 2 Kangals, 2 Presa Canario and a Rottwieler and your training methods work for all of them. For people who don’t know about Kangal: train a Kangal is like training a wolf as that much hard they are but I just wanna say an honest thanks to you for giving the perfect information about the most important things “loose leash walk, stay calm and the top “RECALL” Stay safe my friend! ♥️ 🇨🇦 🍁

[@User7688.--_]

An impressive line of dogs! I bet they keep you busy.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Been using this technique for two days now and it's been amazing! My lab comes when called about 90% of the time. A few mre days of consistent training and I'm confident it will be 100%. Thanks for the video.

[@BDTraining]

Glad it helps!

[@missonmanband19]

Love it love it… the pop to the voice is so important. The que and the grab keeps them in focus to you and not run back to what they were doing. But the methodical “go get”no matter what will be my game changer. Can’t wait for all my snow and ice to melt to complete my go get “all day”.

[@borg_wow]

Saw this video and immediately put it to use in my daily training sessions with our Husky pup. Had a bit more success even with wife eating lunch nearby. He would still go sit by mom and not come but, perseverance and consistency is key.

Struggling with my shepsky they are so stubborn

How is it going now? I've how a husky and she's crazy stubborn.😒

[@suemosher3869]

I really like the way you talk through everything step-by-step. I can understand and follow the process! Thanks!

[@leodegas7731]

My recall for my dobbies when they used to chase rabbits in the desert was , I whistled to get their attention, then do a hand signal over the top of my head like "round up" and meet me here and they came to a left side heel. I never used treats in the day just praise and a long 20' leash. They listened probably because I had the dogs since puppyhood. I learned from books in the 80s. ✌️😊 Edit. I like learning new things so this looks great also. ✌️

[@iridescentmayfox]

this is refreshing to watch when most training videos show the dog listening almost immediately. this guy's not afraid to show you that it doesn't happen instantly so you can see how to respond.

[@cbr8206]

Just came upon this video and enjoyed it. Very informative. Interesting thing from my perspective, having spent the last three years training my dog from basic obedience to complex retrieving scenarios, is that in order to succeed in what you are teaching, dog owners must 1) have standards and expectations for their dog's behavior; 2) be willing to enforce those standards; and 3) take the time necessary to actually train the dog to do what you want your dog to do. Have the standard. Teach the standard. Enforce the standard. It takes time...a lot of time. How can you expect your dog to be disciplined if you don't have the discipline to train on a daily basis until the standard is truly engrained?

[@cynthiaracicot6502]

Your training helped socialize my girl in the last 6 months of her life.

[@jordanc3654]

Great tips from a great trainer and team... The majority of work is up to the owners, it’s easy to see it work on our dogs but to keep these skills and keep them sharp is on us Dog owners. This guy didn’t get this good with dogs and training by doing what everybody else can, you have to put in the work and you have to enjoy it too

[@SuperPyro]

The hand down trick is what finally got it to my husky. Thank you for this video. Paired with an e-collar his recall is getting so much better!

[@ItsMe_Hello_People]

Explained so well! Thank you! I wish I had started using the hand signal much earlier.

[@MarkDavidsonGittyBox]

Yellow labs are easy to learn this because labs generally want to be next to you majorly of the time anyway. Try it with a husky or malamute or other breed other than retrievers. My experience is always always make it a positive experience when they come to you. If they receive any negative consequences you’ll destroy any chance of them ever listening to your command. I’ve seen friends who are angry and yelling at their dogs because they don’t even acknowledge and intentionally ignore avoid them because they’ve learned and have been conditioned by their owners. Dogs need positive feedback for doing positive actions that you want them to. You must accept any minor characteristics that they may have initially and then persistently work with their personality traits. Like people dogs have many different personalities behaviors that will give you slightly different results and reactions to commands learned or are learning. Generally they want to please you because you should be the leader of the pack and they need to feel accepted by the pack. IMHO

[@piercemorgan9396]

Can’t say enough about Joel’s techniques and philosophy. My dog and me thank you

[@willreidy5851]

Hiya, I watched your video this morning and then immediately took my 3 year-old lab out to train her: it worked brilliantly, thank you! My dog follows my wife's commands to a tee but not mine but I was amazed at how quickly she responded to the training, even around other dogs. Brilliant, thanks mate.

[@ayanonight7700]

I love Cooper, he reminds me of a friends dog. All he can think of is: "Where my treat at?!" 🤣

I have a 5 month old border collie all these comments have me super excited to try the tips i saved it and will watch more videos when i can , this was wonderful and while watching i tried with my girl as kept going down stairs. I emphasized the Come and she listened i will be keeping treats on hand and remember to speak up and point

[@susanlippy1009]

Lol. I got lazy about my recall and created a monster🤣. When I was forced to walk across snow in slippers to get my girl to come in at midnight I had to say bad owner🤣. Thanks for the refresher and reminder that I do need to use my hand cue as well. Rottweilers are famous for getting independent when we get lazy. She has my number and now I must remind her what's expected.

I have done the same thing, slippers and snow, silently cursing the go get method and the consistency it needs!

I'm going to start working on your plan with Bella. 14 months Kangal rescue. You've helped enormously already. She's walking much better. The big bone has helped with anxiety. So much for this dog after so long with nothing. Thanks again.

[@Thatsmyname1]

Are kangel dogs difficult to train? I

[@francoisbouvier7861]

@Praise The Lord I'm a novice at this and Bella is my only experience with a Kangal. She's very affectionate and wants to listen. Keeping her attention is a challenge. We're surrounded by wildlife. When a squirrel or grouse or a deer decides to join our walk, I really have to hang on and correct as quickly and quietly as possible. Doesn't react well to aggressive and loud commands. May have been issues from her past. ?

😂 when you said “they don’t understand they’re not on a leash” I looked at my dog and he just stared at me dumbly.

[@Av0cadoslayer]

i love this video - have been doing this intuitively since i own dogs and realised what a big difference it makes when the dog actually comes these last meters to get close to being able to grab the collar 💯 recall is the one thing i won’t discuss with my dog and he knows

[@John_Freas]

Great video. I've seen you describe the process before but this is a great, concise lesson on how to put it all together. I love Cooper too. He's like "I'm not going anywhere except where this guy with the chicken is!" Recall? You have to get him to leave you first :D
