This session was so impressive. There is something to the body language aspect. My dog used to do this and once even did the game out of our yard and into the neighborhood. She would not come to me, but the second my husband showed up, she sat down and knew the game was over.

[@Brutikuh]

Dogs have brilliant perception when it comes to body language.

[@childofcascadia]

Its the opposite for me and my husband. My dog doesnt mind him quite as much. My husband says I have a voice I use with my girl sometimes when shes not minding thats "the dog equivelent of when your mom calls you by your full name when youre a misbehaving kid". I dont use it very often, normally I ask my dog to do things, and she does. But sometimes she finds whatever shes doing more interesting than what I need her to do, and then I bring out "annoyed mom voice" and my girl knows its time to listen.

After growing up with an escape artist runner, wasn't going to let my first solo dogo be one. I taught her hide and seek and chase, but I was the only one to hide or run. Her job was to find me. If she got too far away, I would hide behind a tree or run the other way, making it a game. If she didn't come inside when called, I wouldn't open the door for another hour. She was always safe, but we played by my rules, and she loved it. Never run after a dog.

[@rhegafd]

I can speak from exp that there is a part of this where the Owners feels guilty bc they want the dog to be having a good time. Once I got over that it was day and night. My dog used to love to steal my work glove and I would chase him to get it. He loved...LOVED running away. Once I changed my approach and it was no longer fun, he all but stopped taking it. Now when he does its all about me calling for him to return it and he LOVES returning it.

@@noblejennette2101 I grew up in 1970s Australia. No fences, no leads / leashes, hardly even a collar on most dogs. Table scraps were the norm and believe it or not our pet poodle slept outside all year long and lived to 15yrs of age. My mother worked waitressing at a bunch of local bistros and restaurants, and would bring home lots of leftovers, which supplemented our many pets, including mice, rabbits, chickens, cats and the dog. None were any worse off for it, nor do I recall any of them being at the vet.

[@WollongongSkyWatch]

Dogs, back then, were not 'trained' in the way we think of training today. We would come home fromschool to the dog waiting out on the footpath. Our neighbour's dog would be doing the same - it was a Dingo! When we ran inside to get changed out of school uniform, the dog never even tried to come inside. He knew his place was outside and those lines were never blurred like they are today. We would all jump on our bikes and the dogs would follow us to the local shops where, once again, they waited outside. Never a command was given. Amazing days! Great dogs!

[@WollongongSkyWatch]

@@noblejennette2101 I was mainly responding to the human food issue you raised. The remainder of my story was to show how drastically things have changed for dogs in such a short time. Why do we take dogs to vets today vs back-in-the-day? We took our dog to the vet when another dog attcked it one Saturday morning. My father actually assisted the vet as he was working alone that morning.. The only other reason to see the vet was for desexing, or the rabies / distemper shot.

It reminds me of a time I was watching my neighbours' golden retriever. My neighbours were both quite old and not that mobile, so when they got a new pup they never really had the strength or energy to discipline her. Fast forward two years, and I had an incredibly sweet but totally disobedient dog bouncing around in my yard. She got hold of something she shouldn't and I tried to take it away, but she turned it into a game of "come chase me". Of course there was no way I could catch her, but it wasn't a very big yard so instead I just steadily followed and cornered her. It took a solid 15 minutes to wear her down, but eventually I got the outcome I wanted. During the whole time she looked incredibly confused, I think it was the first time she ever experienced a human not just letting her do whatever she wanted.

@@BDTraining in my defense I only have to do this now because I have kids. I know I'm a broken record on this but it's another farm thing. If you regularly use food you get charged at the gate (no bueno long term), so best practice is to approach direct. How you angle your shoulders, dangle your arms and breath totally determines if the young and frisky get reved by the approach and bolt. That's the opposite vibe from the Terminator. If you screw it up you get to do the Terminator...for so much longer than a dog would ever want to.

[@kwlambright]

My 8 month old lab/pointer rescue got off his leash in a field the third day I had him so he hasn’t gotten very used to me. I just walked straight at her calling her to come. Within 5 minutes she stopped and saw I was not playing. Not yet a week with her, she has gotten used to my environment quicker than I thought. Tonight, my wife opened the door and she bolted out, I walked outside and sat on the bench called her name and come. The game was being played with her and my wife, she came right up to me when I called her name and come. A lot of behavior adjustment I have to go through as she was a kennel dog from birth and had only been with two huskies for a few weeks. I have been watching a few of your videos and will subscribe

The Terminator is a great name for it! I always remember learning that humans are the scariest predators because we relentlessly walk prey to death. Like, there's sharper teeth, faster runners, we're beat in every predator category... but we can outwalk just about anything. Lots of good horror movies capture the vibe. When I have to do this with my dog, it's usually because a family member has once again sparked the love of the game in my goodest girl. I may have to send this video around to the culprits.

[@emmawitteveen]

In my experience, a long leash is a great way to start with recall/getting rid of the game. Get a long enough long leash, like a few meters and just let it drag behind your dog. Then call him. The moment he ignores you or tries to run away, stand on the line. You have to be quick but it's a great way for DIRECT feedback to the dog. Do it enough times so he gets it. Then you can start with longer distances and go back to the long leash if that doesn't work. It has helped me a lot. Maybe this will help people here.

When he was a puppy, I regularly told my boy sternly "It's NOT a game!!!" coupled with a stern neutral/unimpressed (not angry) face everytime single time he ran away from me in the house or garden. I then followed up with Joel's 'Go Get Method' every single time. It works! The chase me game is no fun if you're the only one playing it. He's 2 years old now and has great recall on both voice and whistle commands. Also, I never ever played games where I chase him - I always made him chase me..... that's the game we play around here - that and hide and seek. Works perfectly for reinforcing recall if I run off in the opposite direction he will always follow me - indoors or outdoors, it has huge value to him because he wants to be with me and doesn't want to lose me. I still hide and run from him loads just to reinforce what he has learned. I also try not to repeat my commands - I will go from voice to whistle if needed but then I will either go get him or run off!

I think knowing commands is also important, you can have a command for play time, or "break" or when you let your dog loose to sniff and play and one command for when it's done and/or they have to come back and stay next to you. A toy might help them differentiate between play time and "normal" time

This video is very helpful. However, some people, the elderly or those with physical disabilities, cannot chase their dog down. One method I've learned some 20 years ago and while It might not take the 'game' out of it - at least it's helped me get my dog to come to me.....is... After calling your dog,, don't play the chase game if you are physically not able too....but instead...turn and walk away...and act like you are ignoring them. I've found this will often trigger a dog to stop their game and go to you....because they do not want to be left behind. Don't keep calling the dog. When the dog comes up to you ...then without saying anything once it's close enough, reach down and get hold of the the collar, have the dog sit, then put the leash on. Say "good boy' and pet the dog. but not go overboard with it - go on without too much further ado about it. This has worked for me in the past. I do love the advice in this video... I will be showing it to a few nieces of mine who got high energy dogs but they lack dog understanding/training skills. As I said, the walking away has worked for me, but it's not a quick fix. Eventually my dogs learned when I walked away the fun and games were over....but when you NEED you dog to come to you, because there is a danger or whatever ...the dog Should obey.

[@strenghsGirl]

I think often this issue would be solved if people would actually play with their dog. This behavior probably started when the dog did not want to go home and then go chased. So why not play with your dog during the walk. Have fun. And then before being home doing some cool down excerices. Also leashes are also very helpful.

I remember a highly intelligent Chocotate Lab named Dolly. She was rescued from living down by the train tracks by my grandmother. This dog would act differently when it was with different people. With my grandmother it would not run. It was a bit protective of her. With me, the dog knew when I wanted to walk with her and when I wanted to let the dog run along side of me. I was in fair shape back then, so jogging was not a big deal for me. My brother knew how to handle the dog. Other people in my family who were older knew how to handle the dog. My cousin who is only a few years younger than me had no control. He did not know how to communicate with the animal. Hyperactive energy with a small build. This dog practically dragged my cousin when he had the leash. I was there to make sure my cousin was trained to handle the dog. Because, the dog was better trained than he was. Dolly passed away at 15 years. Still the best dog I have ever met in my life, a shame she is gone, rest in peace.

He stays within 10 feet of me and if I stop and tell him to stop he will stop. He'll turn around and look at me and take a few more steps. And I'll repeat, stop when he will stop and then I say come and he will come, so he is doing incredibly well...way better than I have ever expected. On one of those "chases" I blew out both of my hamstrings and was laid up for quite a while. So this is important that he understands when it's time to play and when it isn't.

[@killiansirishbeer]

I really loved how you caught him the first time, firmly but not painful. Until very recently we lived in a house right next to the woods and every person who came to walk their dog thought it was a good idea to let them "say hi to their friend" aka our guard dog through the fence. It was impossible to have a dog who didn't bark because they were doing their job and many people would linger and (un)knowingly taunted our dogs in place of ignoring them and walking on. I tried to work with our current big dog on toning the barking down as it was really loud and constant, but it's complicated when all the family members are not on the same length. When our big dog barked excessively I would call him to me and reward his coming to me, but my brother said I was rewarding the barking. Another time, our dog was barking excessively again and my brother called him, the dog stopped barking and came to my brother who hit him "for barking". From that day on, my brother could not call that dog to come to him and if he went after the dog it would walk away and stay a good distance away from my brother. Dogs aren't stupid, but they're also not all-knowing, so people have to be careful and thoughtful about reward and punishment (I don't condone hitting, whether it be an animal or a person). I am always baffled when people don't understand that when a dog stops what it is doing and comes to you when called, that means the dog is listening to you and that is what you are rewarding, not the thing they were doing before you called them 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@oceanbytez847]

I've always used a stern voice and intense body language for "no"s. It works, because i inturrupt the behaviour with the "NO", then i soften up and call them over and reward the obedience. My last dog was a choco lab stray we picked up from under the local old folks home. In 25 days he learned his name, to stay, come, leave it even if i wasn't there, and also fetch. It actually came easily imo bc that dog was smart as heck, but dogs also want to please you and be part of the pack. You get far more response from rewarding a good thing than punishing a bad thing. Only thing i have trouble with so far is a friends dog has a bad habit of jumping on people. You can tell her to stop by telling her to go to bed (that's their households "no") but it only stops that behaviour for the person who said that. She continues this behaviour with other people instead. This is tricky, because she doesn't seem to understand why she's getting told no and i've yet to figure out how to bridge that connection.

@@oceanbytez847 I have the same problem with our small dog, a Shih Tzu we sort of inherited when my uncle passed away three years ago. I have always been strict about dogs not jumping on people, but my family found it cute in the beginning. It's the typical "no way" for big dogs but "aw he's so cute" for small dogs. When children are around it's actually the small dog you have to be more careful of, which took some time for my parents to realise. So of course now they see the jumping as an unwanted behaviour, not just for children but for everyone, but it's difficult to implement the rule since he's been given so much leeway in the beginning 🤦🏽‍♀️

I just said no, but internally I was getting annoyed at his insistence. My cat is 18 years old, was eating her food, is not a cat that you pick up and hold in your arms (anymore, and it was always on her terms), and was sensitive in her lower back (I have since gone to our vet who's also a physiotherapist to get it treated).

Great video!!!! And yes, I laughed although I apologize because it it NOT funny. You're so good "pure joy!!" Yes!!! Because I have experienced this personally................and it IS a dilemma. We worked really hard - every day - on recall and I followed excellent advice by admitting it was MY fault for not being clear enough or consistent enough. Now, at 14 months old, my dog "gets" that he has to 'listen" to my directions or " back on the leash" or "end of game - time out" . Huge rewards for "recall" and it's really improved.

[@marinacosta8835]

My German Shepherd did this as a pup when we called him to come back into the house (we had this huge green area right outside our backdoor that we let him out to play in several times a day), after he had done it a few times we simply decided not to entertain him on the "chase me" game and instead turned in the direction of the house, ran inside and closed the door with him still outside. Not one minute later he was outside the door, desperate to get in. Not only did he not try the "chase me" game again, but a new game was born, the "race me to get inside". Other than that he was always very good when called.

[@existentialhotdog5380]

100%! My dog used to do the leash-tug-of war play game and I just started dropping the leash and walking away and now she doesn’t do it anymore. She knows mama don’t play leash tug of war, mmmmmk?!!!

[@simoSLJ89]

I couldn't be that focused! I would play with this Golden every day :D

[@underduress5761]

Yep! That's one fun looking dog, for sure. You just can't mingle obedience commands with this kind of game/ playtime. I had a dog like this and I trained him to get my attention and point to my work gloves to ask me to play. He used to get so excited when I put on my long sleeve shirt and gloves and we'd go out in the yard and chase each other and wrestle around. I would wear him out. We both loved it. But he knew his commands and even if we were in the middle of playtime, if I gave a command, he knew playtime was over. He loved to be obedient because he was "the best boy in the whole world" (before Prince was born) 😂

[@danabreakforest1688]

That's why you are the problem.

[@cappy2282]

This is vital dog training materials. Great stuff 👍 i have both my dogs trained off leash but they were both pretty well behaved dogs from start. I did the "firm but fair" approach lol

[@cappy2282]

@synfiguring Good Luck! My dog failed about 4 times but each time I let him know I was disappointed. I got lucky tho, some dogs are tough to have off leash and that's when I leave it up to the experts

[@cappy2282]

@synfiguring What kind of dog is it?

[@WildWestNeko]

"Firm but fair". Yep. I always jokingly comment: "I always got beats, but seldom treats" :p Treats are great for capturing behaviors. But for maintenance training is best to use other forms of reward .Less you want a zeppelin for a pet.

[@user-bx4ov2qy8b]

All true. However, as a trainer myself, I constantly struggle with how to convey this concept to the OWNERS, not the dogs. Yes, I can get the dogs to stop unwanted behavior, but what pays my rent is that people keep coming to me to do it for them. Some learn, certainly, but most come to me to correct a certain behavior only to have it pop up again in another area because they can't wrap their minds around the idea of gaining/earning/expecting/requiring respect from their animals. It's really basic and it consistently amazes me how people (possibly Americans more than others??) treat their pets as special needs children. Dogs LIKE leadership and were bred to serve, not the other way around. You are already personal chef, chauffeur and masseuse. This is a sweet deal for them, and there is nothing wrong with providing ground rules and guidelines that need to be adhered to in exchange for these benefits. And remember, trained dogs don't end up having to be euthanized or rehomed. Everybody wins.

[@TheBlackelpie]

It is a huge deal for owners to firstly seek and pay for help, then see that change is at least possible with their dog. Some catch on, most improve a bit, some never will. The 'humans must serve the dog' attitude is like a cancer that's spread. To me that's why I can't take my well behaved dogs somewhere on a train for example (like you can in a lot of places in Europe), why we can't get a rental, why dogs are banned from so many public places. It saddens me that folks can't see how that attitude restricts the lives of all the dogs and does nothing to enrich the lives of their own dogs. 'Spoiling rotten' is seen as a good thing, a kindness :(

[@indigowulf]

The funny part is, I think you SHOULD treat your dogs and children similar. They all need leadership and boundaries while growing up, while also having their food, grooming, education, love, and medical needs taken care of by us. I think people who are already good dog trainers end up making excellent parents, and vice versa.

[@KennAndCasper]

⁠@@indigowulfI completely agree. Kids shouldn’t get away with that behaviour no more than dogs, and vice versa. Why is “treating your dog like your kid” always portrayed as a bad thing? I think it all depends on how you raise that kid/dog. My dog IS my kid, nothing wrong with that, so long as you don’t raise your kid to behave like a maniac, which, sadly, I see all too often with human children- maybe that’s where the notion that raising your dog as your child is a bad thing came from in the first place?

[@TheBlackelpie]

@@indigowulf okay- I have a slightly different take on it as I have a fair bit to do with working dogs and livestock. Most people wouldn't send their kids into a muddy yard to bring in cows etc-it is dangerous- or to stay out in a storm to guard a flock from predators. To me they are workmates, deserving of praise and respect and certainly leadership and clear communication like children, but also they are animals and their role and status is accordingly very different.

[@user-bx4ov2qy8b]

Thank you. I like that. I never meant to indicate the withholding of love. @@indigowulf

[@highwayman1218]

Haha, reminds me of my malti-poo that passed... If he got out of the backyard he would rip and play... I always got him back by rattling car keys and he thought he would go for a ride. He was a free spirit and cool dog.

[@Subxenox15]

I was over it as well. E-caller tightened it right up. I never even had to zap him, the vibrate on max combined with a command was all it took. The only time I've used the shock function is when he starts chasing wild deer or tries to cross our pipe bridge. Maybe it's the lazy approach, but damn that was quick. Seriously if you have a high energy breed that's completely uninterested in listening to you...Get that collar. Hopefully like my good man you can just use the beep or vibrate setting and it will work, otherwise don't be afraid of a low charge zap just to grab their attention, always make sure it's combined with a command, we just use "come!"

[@KRDP]

hey Joel , i wanna say thank you , cause 1 day there were 2 guys to deliver apliances to my house and so my black lab was in my mom's bedroom wit the door shut so he made 1 bark imediately remembered your training method so knocked on the door after that never made a sound til the guys left then i let him out fast forward to this past saturday and i started to train him that if somebody knocks on my door to relax siting with a flat tail then let them in then his reward is their affection and almost imediately after couple minutes he understood then i demonstrated the method to his grandma and it felt rewarding to train him to relax calm when he hears a knock on the door , Mr.Beckman i realize that my place in the world is to train my dog and *if or when i can , help other owners and their dog* to be respectable*

[@alexisballard1459]

3:56 the way he was sprawled out is so cute 😅😅😅 thanks for another informative video Joel!

[@williamstark9568]

My best trick for getting the dog to run for me is do all the body language of crouching down excitedly for hugs and belly rubs. Works. Every. Time.

[@xander__yalnif9214]

This is exactly why i couldn't be a dog owner, or any animal owner to be fair, shit like this would irritate and infuriate me to NO end! I'd get so mad at this kind of thing, not being respected or taken seriously is super maddening to me, and I'd probably take that out on the animal. Good thing that i know this though, now i know I'm unfit for the responsibility of an animal

[@tammy2855]

I really appreciate that you have that awareness.

[@meat.]

wtf

[@marylaskowski4355]

LOL Good boy, not a great boy. Loved this video. We have a 9 week old Golden and we are starting to work on recall with her, I have my husband to be on the other end to start out with her. I failed at recall with my other 2 and was very lucky that nothing bad happened to them. This time will be different and much better! I believe that We humans are responsible for putting in the time, work and love to keep them safe always. They NEED to be helped to learn the basics. Thank you for the GREAT work that you do!

[@MeanOldLady]

That's why I used leashes & tie out cords to train them to come & worked up to no restraints before ever trusting them off-lead. I do structured play with them & wear them out first & then let them wander around the yard with me. Once they decided to chase a deer, that popped up unexpectedly but came back after several calls so that was high excitement for them. After that I went back to the long leads & exposed them to more deer moving through the yard (I just took them out to potty early in the morning when the deer were out) until their recall was good with the deer. Vehicles were never an issue because they were introduced to walks around towns & cities early on as well & they could see for themselves how scary vehicles were at speed & they were smart enough to realize that they wanted none of that.

[@WestCoastLusitanos]

Super helpful video. My 5 month old GS puppy does this. Partly my fault for starting the game not connected to any recall. Now she initiates the game right when I want to put a leash on to go take her for a walk. Your video gave me exactly what I need to do to extinguish this "game." Thank you!

[@superstarcat7654]

Oh wow! You are doing just what my German Shepard trainer from thirty years ago taught for training smarty dogs. Thank you for the refresher course. I really needed that for my new pup.

[@Clynikal]

That’s hard behaviour to break at 3 years, that was an incredible reaction. Good breed for food reward though.

[@fallabeaufaebelle]

I've got a goldendoodle who is very eager to please and also very playful- pretty breed standard I'd say? He also can be really stubborn and likes to test what he can get away with sometimes. He deff knows which person he can get away with doing certain things with in the family. If he doesn't come the first time, I lower my voice the second time and usually that works. When he doesn't come when he's called and I have to go and get him, I make him sit at certain "checkpoints" and walk away before steadily letting him into the house. I see it as reminding him I'm the authority and if he wants to be welcome in the "den" then he has to listen to my commands. If he tries to run past me into the house, I take him back outside and make him start over. Once he's gotten in the house, I have him sit down and I give him some pets and tell him he did good. Sometimes I give him ice cubes to crunch after all that so he can get the frustration out if he ended up having to listen to a lot of commands. It's not a treat but it helps him get all that tension out I think. So far this works for us. Out of everyone in the family, I'm the one he minds the most and we've got a lot of trust between us. I think the strategy works well for his temperament and because he already knows those commands and mistakes playtime for serious time. Being consistant helps too. I don't let him get away with deciding when he wants to come when I call, so when I call he knows to come. I'm not a trainer, but so far this works pretty well? Not sure if there's something I should be doing different. I think it must be a good method bc our relationship is good and it's gotten the behavior I need from him for there to be trust between us. I've worked really hard on making sure he minds me after seeing a video of a poor dog that wasn't trained and ran after a croc and got eaten. He's tried to run after a large animal in the woods but immediately ran back when I called for him, so I'm really glad he trusts me. I think he heard the urgency in my voice and because of how i've trained him he knew it wasn't a game. A huge relief for sure to know he'll mind me when it matters most. Losing my best buddy that way wouldn't be something I'd ever be able to get past. Great video and instruction! Thanks for sharing :))

[@Benzinilinguine]

"Im not gonna give into the game" *proceeds to chase dog*

[@FenrirAldebrand]

Chase isn't the right word. Chase continues the game. He walked in a calm, confident manner towards the dog, never turning it back into the chase.

[@clever_handle]

We have only taken in rescues, and they commonly do this very behavior. Eventually they stopped playing the game after a few times of going to get them. We just got a bulldog mix a couple of months ago that loves this game. Recently, I had to follow her for several miles back into cow pastures (on family property). She was so worn out - and so was I, quite frankly - but she eventually realized that, dang, this dude is willing to do all of that…game over I guess.

[@clever_handle]

We are still working on the correction, but have a GPS tracking collar to take away the fear of losing sight of her.

[@KandraBranning]

This is vital dog training materials. Great stuff i have both my dogs trained off leash but they were both pretty well behaved dogs from start. I did the "firm but fair" approach lol

[@Veredzil]

It’s always weird to me how strongly people try to use treats when the behaviour is so obviously more reinforcing than the treat

[@angelinacamacho8575]

thats why my treats are just whatever the dog wants thats reasonable in the moment.

[@Matt-sl1wg]

Treats are only for teaching new tricks/commands and spoiling the pup after they turn 10.

[@davidrobinson6495]

Definitely saw the energy shift. To me seemed like he had some energy to burn off at first (super springy jumping around) and he definitely wanted to play. Surely some consistency will sort out this smart boy. As usual likely need to train the owners as much as the dog.

[@paulbarry1044]

Our Springer was like this.First i used a piece of 30ft cord tied onto her collar,holding the other end.Down at a big park,i would give her a call,and a little tug at the cord.Eventually,after a week or two, i let the cord go,so she could go a bit further,and stand on it if she didn't come when called.I only did this for about 3 weeks,and it worked brilliantly.

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Really good 👍. Recall is demanded simply for dogs living in a humans world. For safety sake alone recall is required to keep them from hazards like getting ran over, fights, or pursuing other animals. I detest dog owners who havent worked on recall and allowed the dog to only play the game. They dont have their dogs best interest in consideration to safety.

[@b_uppy]

My dog wants to go on an adventure and will if i attempt to follow and catch him. If i remajn in the yard until he returns, he comes back much sooner. I have found rewarding him with walks and pets is the best way to build a positive training experience. He is oriented towards politeness, instead of food. Saying thank you after he obeys a command gives him positive feedback as well.

[@ittssaaron4023]

My 3 year old dog is crazy off leash so she always has to be on leash or else she will just run everywhere and think it’s a game… She isn’t aggressive whatsoever, but very little self control. I will be trying this 🙏

[@dianadelcastillo1896]

I know it's not desirable behavior but oh my! It's just too cute 😂. I'd be showing seriousness on the outside, but inside, I'd be laughing. It's so hard to resist that sheer joy 🥰

[@daniello9155]

He is one very happy boy, kudos to the owner as this is how happy dogs should be.

[@stellersjay1825]

I had to condition my outdoor dog to come because he would get loose and wander our semi-rural area and carry off neighbors' chickens or hunt wildlife (he came home proudly with a deer spine one day). So I decided to SUPER reward him when he came if I shrieked his name really happily. Then I would give him a hole piece of lunch meat. Worked like a charm. He'd be trotting down the lane happy as a clam when we accidentally left the gate open one day. I shrieked his name so he could hear me and he spun around and tore back up the hill. I had to dash inside the house and grab some lunch meat before he could meet me at the door. Then it REALLY came in handy when a dumb mother deer jumped into our yard one early morning. Our dog came across them (my kids were little). The mom fled over the fence but the baby kept bouncing back from it. Jake tackled it and it started screaming, my kids started screaming. I shrieked 'JAKE!' And his head popped up, he ignored the fawn and came tearing up to me. I brought him in and gave him lunch meat while the kids ushered the fawn back around the house and through the gate. Getting mad at him when coming back would've just reinforced him staying away.

[@crystalthompson507]

My lab mix likes that game/keep away. However, he received a lesson on running away and now he reads me. When it's fun & games, it's fine. But when I change my demeanor he comes immediately. However, the pit mix puppy hasn't figured it out and is now catching the keep away part, she's deaf so it's quite the learning process for all of us. So working on recall in the backyard

[@Jayneisere04]

I love your videos please keep making them and can we have the longer ones back please ? I find it useful to watch it over and over especially when you show the dogs behaving in a certain way and the slow motion stops are so helpful and help me to notice more that I hadn't seen before thank you

[@Olixer109]

A lot of people treat dogs like dumb babies, they put on a weird voice and slap their knees and their dog will never come. Body language is everything with animals, so making clear you are not to be messed with makes training your dog a lot easier! :D

[@unsaltedskies]

[@justinsugay1149]

Define the motivating factor; Sensory Escape Attention Tangible Is it a sensory need? They need to scratch, fill hunger, sooth pain Is it escape? In this case that's what it is here as the escape is fun for the dog hence "a game" Is it attention? This could be a secondary aspect to the escape as the reaction and attention and engagement could be reinforcing and enabling the behavior to continue Tangible? This typically is desired access to something like a toy, treat, etc. Not the case here. Once properly identified then you have to decide on the consequence to shape the behavior from a non-desirable or non-preferred to a desired or preferred behavior or response. This is all ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis). So you must also understand the ABCs of it: Antecedent (What comes BEFORE the behavior) Behavior Consequence (What is the response; how are you reinforcing or punishing the behavior - reinforcement increases bxs and punishment decreases; there are positive (input) and negative (removal) versions of both) Here the instructor is identifying the "game" and emphasizing the need to remove that factor before trying to shape and increase recall. Well done!

[@loyal_dogs]

come means come. No excuses. Recal ist THE sinlge most important command a dog can learn and that's how I treat it from day 1. My dogs' recal is and has always been perfect as I avoided it to become a game when they were puppies. It would drive me nuts if my dog acted like this but I'm not gonna lie. Seeing a strangers dog do it, especially this happy Golden is adorable nontheless 😂

[@dominiquedoeslife]

When my dog does this-doesn’t recall on the first command, and it’s rare because he’s fully trained, but it happens once in awhile, I turn my back and yell “bye m***er f***er” and walk away, and he realizes I’m not playing. Idc where we are, if I do that, he knows he’s in big trouble and that I will absolutely walk away. If he follows, I’ll say something like “well…I GUESS you can come with, if you’re sure you’re ready to listen.”

[@marcellemcdonald7762]

😂 Doggie is adorable.. Too hilarious 😂 😃

[@detchonwolf]

Perfect timing for me. That dog acted just like mine does. She will do zoomies in the house and if you try to get her it's a game. She has been steadily improving but our outside recall has stalled out due to her games. Hopefully if I can stop the games indoors the rest will follow. This video gave me the encouragement to keep working on these issues. Thank you Joel.

Joel, you have so many amazing videos, and I love your Shutzhund approach to training and corrections. However, I have to say that I have 2 phenomenal GSD's that have to have stimulation and interaction with some "I win" battles. My male wants to battle with his rubber frisbee. Tug of war is his thing. He wins every time, but he also like to play keep away. I play along as it is stimulating and he loves it. I also walk away when I'm done and he immediately comes to me and shoves the frisbee in my hand and releases immediately on command then gets a throw over and over. Not all dogs need the "I am God" treatment. 2 way streets produce the best working and family dogs on the planet. 30 years doing this taking no BS from any dog, but also giving a little. I wish I lived in Cali, you have a massive base of dumb owners and lousy breeders. Keep up the great vids.
