Great video! I really like that you pointed out early on, "Doesn't matter if the lady shouldn't have gotten these dogs. She has them. Its my job to help her." People tend to be so judgmental of others on the internet. It's great to keep the discussion focused on being helpful.

What if there are two dogs (13year old dachshund) 4 year old Corgi,both males,about once a week the young Corgi jumps on the old dachshund and really gets at him,the dachshund has problems with his back by his tail so he can’t even fight back,and there is NO WARNING

[@SomeMinorDogTraining]

@@coreybirmingham5497 I would recommend putting a leash on the corgi when they're together (even inside), and not letting him do that. Teach him a solid Place cue, so they can learn to be calm around each other. It's fine to let them play and interact, but you need to control the intensity to ensure that the Corgi is not putting the other dog (and himself) in a bad situation.

[@dreamgaits]

So many people think their dogs are fighting when they are only playing. Some people can't recognize when a dog is bullying a submissive dog. And some people cannot recognize when a situation is escalating and can't intervene in time. This is a great topic. Thanks for this video.

[@lachlanceltic]

Need this addressed for sure

[@pittymama4500]

That is for sure a problem there is definitely a huge difference in play fighting and real fighting. Real fighting produces wounds! My husband used to think that I was being dramatic when I said the dogs were fighting because he thought I didn't know the difference between play and fight until he was actually home once when I fight broke out. But in general when dad's home they don't do it!

[@clarathompson3527]

Yeah, I’m interested in knowing how to spot the difference. We have just introduced a third dog to the house and there is a lot of rough play/fights that I don’t like, but my partner says it’s just play.

[@brado6655]

​@@clarathompson3527when they are playing they tend to go for each other with a side mouth rather than full forward ..they back off, lower themselves them bounce up...thinkn ads playing rough with small kids, they bat at each other ....

You HAVE to get up and get to the dogs when they misbehave. My new dog loves jumping on counters and stuff, and nothing changed when I just yelled HEY and didn't get up. When I did, and punished him for it after the HEY, he learned.

[@marcofemto9417]

Every dog owner needs to watch this. Enough with the positive reinforcement, overly lenient methods. As the owner you are the leader and it's your responsibility to establish order. Show love by teaching them and keeping them safe. The dogs wont hate you for it, they'll respect you and they will stop bad behaviour. Not so much because they are afraid of the punishment, but because they are afraid to disappoint you. At the end of the day they want to please you. You are their whole world and you love them

[@jenniferkurt4047]

A few seconds in and tears are rolled down my face. I felt like you are talking about me. I rescued 5 dogs nobody wanted (dumped in front of my house/ found almost dead, handicapped etc). For the first two years it all was ok. My Bailey (1st recue) was annoyed by Molly (5th rescue/ roughly a year old back then) who was that overactive puppy, lunging, nibbling, running into other dogs ( exactly like the white one you showed in your video " Fix rough play before it becomes aggression"). A friend of mine ( not anymore) adopted Molly after 2 month and then dumped her back at my place 2 month later. For a while Bailey just ignored Molly who could not find anybody to play with. 1 year later a Staffordshire from next door got into our garden and all 6 dogs were fighting. It was a bloody mess with lots of bad injuries). Since then I am traumatized. Another year later that overreactive behaviour of Molly turned into aggression and she got into a bloody fight with Bailey. I had to get him stitched back together. Back then Bailey (about 6years old at that time) was not doing well and Molly saw her chance to dominate him. Before that she just backed off when he was growling. I got bitten multiple times over the years separating them. They keep attacking each other, they need separate areas. Since 3 years I have my home divided in two areas. Molly (6) and Bailey (9) cannot be together and I have trouble giving them all the same attention as I cannot cut myself in two. I have a big garden and I know they need to get outside more beside that but unfortunately they also don't like other dogs. There are so many free roaming dogs of careless owners in our neighbourhood that I rarely walk them. Too much terror. The ones staying at home never stop barking (another issue). One of my other dogs ( handicapped bossy Panda) is also animating Molly in her aggression towards other dogs. She just sees another dog and turns from the sweet people loving girl into a T-Rex. I can hardly leave the house, work or see my family in another country. It takes a toll on my health, my social life and I barely have income. I am looking for online work as I am tight to the house. I had quite some breakdowns, all alone overwhelmed with this situation. I once thought no matter how difficult the situation is, I can handle it but I have to admit I desperately need help. I dream of a life in peace with my happy 4 dogs ( one died 2 years ago at the age of 18). They need dog friends and have adventures. We want to be able to sit all in one car and travel. I also want them to be good with a dog sitter, so I can see my human family more often (seen them 3 times in 8 years). We used to do hikes and beach walks before the fights started. My dogs are my everything and I would never give them up. NEVER! I do everything for them, we are family. I recently fell over your videos and watch nonstop. I intuitively did a lot of these things already which gives me confidence but it is a lot to fix here, not just the aggression. If you are still reading, thank you for that. I did not want to flood you but had to get rid of it! I am alone with it as I usually just get bad comments from people advising me to give up on my dogs which is not an option! I gave them a promises and I love them unconditionally! Bailey is 9 now and Molly about 6. I have not given up hope! Thank you for not judging!

[@User7688.--_]

My heart breaks for you. You made your promises so that you can do this. Start Joel’s doorway method with one dog at a time, then move to the Loose Leash Walking method with the first dog you started with. Stick with each step of each video per dog until they have it down pat. Then go to the second dog and so on. It will take time, patience, and consistency, but mainly it will be your attitude. Say what you mean and mean what you say. You can do it. You have to find your bug attitude voice, or else it won't work. They want to know their boundaries. Don't we all want to know what is acceptable and what is not? We are all much happier knowing what the rules and boundaries are so we don't get into trouble. Agree? Tomorrow and the next day will go by whether you do nothing or put the work in. You will feel better as you will be doing something to change the situation. If what you are doing isn't working, change what you are doing. Get into the mindset. Make yourself. Good Luck. 🌟

We won't give Luna up, I love her and she is such a sweet girl. Did you ever make any progress? I hope things are going better for you now

This morning we took them onto our village green and they just ran around with each other......... THANKS :)

At least this lady tried to fix the problem and actually reached out for help! Too many people are too quick to just get a dog, hit an issue and get rid and pass that dog on to someone else. Often anyone else! Which creates more problems because that dog then ends up passed about without anyone helping to train that dogs issues.

Dobermans are by far the smartest breed I have ever owned! My Dobergirl learned most of the commands in one training session.

[@jaimekern7519]

Ruff housing allowed OCCASIONALLY with the males, supervised only although,the continued event with male 9 month mastiff wanting to push the female english bulldog by barking in her face, it is so wrong. I have not found a quick stop because it is during the excitement of play,getting up in morning or beginning a walk.The bulldog reaction is growl and snap and the big pup enjoys that and not getting hurt yet. HMMM PSYCHOLOGY ANYONE.

I tried all the sweet and nice training tricks on the Internet and finally found your KZbin channel. Once I started growling telling her no and getting up, she started surrendering right away and the behaviors cutting back already.

Can you believe I'm here because of two 6 month old pugs fighting. Mainly resource guarding but lately, the female will just start bickering at the male when we're just chilling on the couch. Will definitely start to implement this, great video.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

I am in the same situation, took dogs in who were on the street and in trouble and the local shelters were not taking dogs. Two had litters on the street in the middle of winter. Thankfully when I was younger I did rehab with Pitbulls so I know the drill. Stay calm, move with confidence, make yourself bigger by standing, allow no argument when they are asked to do something. Follow through until they do as they are asked and are calm and submissive. Watch body language, the dog will tell you when the are ready to fight. My headache right now is a labsky who every now and then thinks he's boss, but we are working through it and now 98% of the time he is perfect.

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

And it doesn't matter if she rescued them or not, like my guys I've had since they were 7 weeks old, doesn't mean they still won't have issues. The pup at 14 months old thought he would try to take over. They can now be in the same room without muzzles, they just have to be calm. It helps when they get out on their own individual walk too. That means 3 walks for me. Try to vary who goes first so the same dog doesn't get you when you're tired from the other walks. My Red Zeppelin is the 4 yr old red Dobe, (Zepp for short), full brother to the 2 yr old Zoso, and a Beagle/JRT mix Female. Zeppelin is very laid back but wasn't going to let the pup take over either. We separated them via Baby gates from the time it happened. I still have to do things in a certain order so they can all chill in the same room. The exercise definitely helps and not rehearsing the aggression. Every single time they do, it's like a huge set back. Working on the back yard with muzzles on everyone. Short sessions at first. Finally got a play bow in the house by Zeppelin to Zoso. Have also found from another trainer to work obedience almost exclusively on the one that's not confident - in this case the growler, Zoso. Hope to start doing Agility with the pup soon too. Of course, the instructors he's had other classes with just don't see the aggression. Zepp avoids, avoids, avoids, until he's done or I step in. Have also taught both dogs to look away (from each other).

[@travelingpsychicsupperclub5015]

Glad to hear you talk about your experience/ we are doing walks together with the dogs that fought, Rev and Winter then another separate one with the chihuahua - Dink. It’s a lot. Just getting to the point that we are ready fingers crossed- to reintroduce Rev and Winter with muzzles on out back. It’s just like- man, it’s a lot. I’m learning so much from this channel and Joel- and I like hearing from others how they are working with their packs. 💗 so thanks again for sharing. A question for Joel- after Winter lunged at and got a good hold on Rev ‘s neck - with all the growling and noise that goes along with it- he FREAKS OUT on walks now when walking past a fenced dog, or a dog on the other side of the street. We are walking Rev and Winter together- and he does it when it’s just him alone too- any ideas or thoughts to “shake” him out of that? Would love to hear that addressed or a video - even just a talking vid like this one - may be hard to recreate with the guys you’ve got there/ but it would really be appreciated 👍

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

Not sure how to reply to just one person, but have commented before on one of the other videos. My Beagle/JRT Mix's revert to mode is barking. At home I taught her sneezes when we first got puppies so I could praise good sneezes. On walks if I catch her before she starts barking, we're good. Am always scanning so I can say No bark or we're going home, before she sees something. The very first time you say it though, you have to follow through. Too bad, walk's over. Then the next walk, usually all you have to say is no bark or the walk is over. Your choice. It's like they actually start thinking about it. Do I want to keep walking? Is the bark worth it? Now, with dogs in their own yard, I say No bark, he's doing his job. That's his house. You would do the same thing if that was your yard. It's like they start thinking - oh yeah, you're right. Should they bark, same consequence, walk's over until the next time, maybe not til the next day even.

[@Eternal-Seven]

If you know what you're doing and working with a dog from a puppy age, assuming the animal is properly socialized, this shouldn't be an issue. Correct issues as soon as they come up and you become cognizant of problem behavior. With rescued animals you often don't know what you're getting and you have to work a lot harder to correct certain behaviors, it may be impossible to completely eliminate some of them. Still, they deserve a chance so props to people who adopt rescues.

This makes more sense than any other video I’ve watched to try to stop dogs from REALLY fighting and hopefully keep my Red Healer and Australian Shepherd from hurting each other more than they have already as well as prevent any further harm to those around them. They have caused all sorts of injuries to themselves. I’ve been trying all sorts of tactics including rewards, exercising, kenneling. last night they got in a bad fight that injured themselves and even worse my two girls when they tried to separate them and I came across this video. I was beginning to think the only way to settle it was to let them fight it out to let them establish who is the alpha instead of breaking it up just to have them fight again later. The entire family has watched this and we have all been doing our best to implement this with the elements you mentioned. It makes sense, we are very hopeful that this will do it. Thanks for the video.

[@whatsthekeytothekeykat]

Your methods are the best and logical approach to dog training. My family always owned akitas and this way of being with the dogs was the way we had always done it since they arent always the friendliest, and other family owned other strong breeds. At one point we had to foster my aunts akita, who was a good girl, but our akita at the time was not, she was a dog fighter. They had a few real bad fights, but overall we used the same militant type methods and those 2 could be loose in the house in the same rooms without trying to kill eachother. As long as not a crumb of food was involved it was alright. Still had to separate them even to bring in groceries from the car, but that was good enough considering a fight usually involved choking out, hose blasts, even pepper spray from a cop once, and then a vet visit. But this type of training is why one day when I was walking my reactive akita and an Australian shepherd that had got out of his fence and ran right up to my akita face to face, she did not attempt to kill the aussie, she could have but didn't. I was a teen, my dog was twice the size, but the respect she had for me override and one good "CHT!" and she stood there like a statue while I shooed the other dog away. I'll never forget that feeling of being out in the wild worst case scenario, and frankly at first being pretty scared of a potential fight, but knocked that off in my head and went to calm assertive and still having full control. That was it for me, I felt like if I could do that I could do anything

Got my 4.5 year old heeler & new rescue 7 month old saluki to the dog park this morning. My new rescue was fantastic. Had fear going in, but we broke thru that.. but good lord my older dog could not stop mounting. I had to leash five times to calm him. & even then had numerous corrections while on leash. Was thankful the other 12 dogs & parents appreciated the correction. Had one parent even say he was prior animal control & that ppl are too forgiving with dogs & it creates bad habits & it always leads to him being called. Such a great mix of dogs there, puppies to elder. Very cool!

Really enjoying your videos Joel. Your style of training is exactly what dog owners need to see. I try and remind my clients with breeds known for being “challenging” that in the animal kingdom the top dog is ruler of the house, enforcer of the rules etc. Consistency and follow up is key. Our relationship with our dogs require more than love and food; rules and structure truly enhance that relationship.

[@narcolepsyasmr]

So true. They need to know they don’t have to fight to be safe. That they will always have you to protect them from harm. They can actually relax more when the owner is in control

[@concernedcitizen3476]

As always...thanks so much Joel.

We have the exact same problem with 2 boxers. 2 fights on Easter Day and 6 bandages to hand trying to separate them. Your Visio is spot on, thanks for the info.

[@heathertrentowsky6090]

So happy I found this. I adopted a dane/mastiff from the shelter. Took a while to integrate her with my very docile Dane. They got along great... for awhile. Then suddenly a very major fight that ended up both dogs at vet. Lots of stitches and drains.

[@aldoromero7894]

Are they still aggressive with each other?

[@aldoromero7894]

We recently got a frenchie who got along with our bulldog. Recently they fought and now the frenchie can’t see her or any other dog because she wants to fight fight her.

[@heathertrentowsky6090]

@@aldoromero7894 the dane , Skye, is very cautious of the dane/mastiff, Piper. Piper just watches the Skye waiting for her to make the wrong move. I keep them separated when I am not home. When I am home I just make sure they don't come face to face. I think their relationship ship is permanently damaged.

I have a German Shepard, a Pit Terrier, an Australian Shepherd, and a Corgi. All of them are SO good-except the Corgi. He’s a little pain in the ass, and jumps and bullies all the other dogs-AND ME! This method is REALLY working!!! I feel like I’m actually getting my control, and my home back. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your insights with us.

I had a female spayed Bullmastiff & a neutered male American Bulldog that got along great…I then rescued a spayed female Bullmastiff! She liked the other Bullmastiff but was always ready to attack the American Bulldog. He’d just walk by her & she’d attack! One day I was getting ready to feed them & had two stainless steel bowls in my hand, Gracie (Bullmastiff) went after Dempsey ( American Bulldog). I had had enough & so I came down on their heads with the bowls as hard as I could. This stopped the fight immediately…I never had to break up a fight again, not even growls! I became the character the dogs needed, at the time, (militant, loving, teacher etc) No food aggression, we all walked at the same time (other dogs would run out on the sidewalk after them…they knew better than to fight.) I’m the boss & it was my job to handle things! My Bullmastiff’s played like gladiators but, I could sense when to intervene! Joel, you’re right…it’s about being diligent & in charge! My 3 dogs weighing 375 pounds became best friends!

[@rosedalepaint]

Awesome! Thank you for this!

[@janshows2914]

Thank you for this education! I started taking control the way you directed. Wow. Have I seen a change in my 3 shitzu’s and 10 month old poodle. The female Shitzu was the problem which caused the poodle puppy to react. I created the Shitzu monster. So I am correcting the problem I created. Really is working! Really can’t thank you enough! I’m the boss.

Another great video from Beckman's Dog Training, my partner I had four dogs at one time and they were fighting as well. We had a collie, pit bull, english bulldog, and a great pyrenees. Big guys and gals. We hired a trainer and they taught us a lot of the same things Joel does, intervening right before it was about to happen. The things I want add to this video are that we had to establish a pack order. So, like Joel touched on in the video, WE are the pack leader, and then we ranked each dog in order of when they were acquired. Then, we had to establish that order for everything we did. Everything. How you greet them, how you let them in and out of the door for potty breaks, how we feed them (this was big) how we give them treats, everything. We started walking them one at a time in order, things like that (we eventually walked all four together). Our trainer suspected they were bucking for position which may have been where the fights were coming from. By doing all this, we were constantly reinforcing their position in the pack. The fights stopped very quickly and it just made having the pack that much more enjoyable. Everyone was more happy when they knew their place. It was empowering for us, and you could see the dogs begin to relax and just enjoy being a dog in the pack. It was very militant as Joel said, especially in the beginning, but it paid dividends. Breaking up dog fights in your living room really sucks. Thanks for the video and I hope the lady with her four dogs is making progress and finding solutions ❤

Thank you so much for this video. I have had my dog si se she was a pup, almost 9 years now, and a dog in need showed up on my door step. My dog is a schnauzer pit mix and can be territorial at times, but she wants to play with other dogs… but she has a habit of snapping. The new dog is a pit, she’s been in the house for a week, and is incredibly calm, but she is ALL MUSCLE! My dog doesn’t stand a chance if things went south. I am preparing to introduce them. They have smelled each other before, did okay, then showed some aggression, but both dogs responded to me on day one. I didn’t want to spend the time at first because I was trying to find owners. It’s been a week now and I’m in love with the new dog, and I want to keep her, and Penelope needs a friend if she can figure out her stuff. I have purchased muzzles and I am working on both dogs accept the muzzles with positivity and treats, both have responded well. We are taking the dogs to the park tomorrow in separate cars foe introductions. I’ve been binge watching you today! I don’t want to miss a que! And I want to do this right. Both dogs see me as alpha and listen to me very well. I’m going to give them plenty of separate time in the house after introductions and completely supervised together time. Any other tips? Am I missing anything?

[@chuck6730]

I like this video. I have two male Siberian Huskies and one tends to be a handful. They are a month apart in age and had gotten I to it a couple of times in the past. I worked hard to establish being the alpha and they know when they are being bad and when I’m getting involved. I show them that I’m more dominant then them. My older one has been getting trained by me since I got him at 8 weeks old and he just turned 1. We have an amazing bond.

[@midlandstribullbabesmtbb309]

Love this video!!! U are absolutely correct!

Your videos are amazing. So helpful. I have a Rottie, 1 year old that resource guards me with other dogs. I'm ignorant to training, but I have hope after watching this and other videos.

Such a great video. We only have one dog but I’ve been doing a lot of research as we consider rescuing another dog. Macia is so good 🥰

Thank for this one. I am researching on getting another dog when my first one is completely trained up.

[@danad9879]

Thank you so much for the great guidance. It really points me in the right direction. I have a 2 1/2 year old lab - the soul of gentleness -- and a 3 1/2 month old rescue mix (border collie/pit bull mix), which I got a month ago. I was told to let my lab teach the puppy dog behavior skills, that the lab would let the puppy know when she crosses the line, such as nip her too hard. Well, I've been doing that, and a month into it, the puppy is really crossing the line, in my human opinion. She is constantly going after my lab, grabbing her by the ears and lips and jowls, biting at her legs, to the point that she cries out. My lab just does not have the temperament to protect herself. So, I decided that I need to intervene - maybe allow a little playful nipping, but intervene and set limits as soon as I see that it's escalating. Your video helped me know exactly how to go about it. Thank you. Very much appreciated!

[@kwest5171]

Oh man, I needed this video. I've got a 3 year old female who is getting aggressive with our younger female and I'm the sitting parent that yells hey.
