[@Dogdaddy5561]

Sorry you’re finding life hard. I used to think like this also till I started raising Dog Guides and working with search and rescue teams it made me realize how incredibly intelligent dogs are and how incredibly willing they are to work with us. I’m not a pro trainer have just taken courses required for this. I raised my own dogs using the same method and never found it necessary to punish/correct. Never found it necessary to do anything all day. Maybe a few minutes every day consistently.

[@pitoububble]

I'm confused. Are you saying the humans are the ones that think this is a game, or the dogs? Are you saying that people like me that advocate for no corrections, just redirecting & replacing undesired behavior, is dangerous? Bc training is just one big game, when it clearly isn't and we never said it was?? I'm just genuinely curious is all 🤷🏽‍♀️ Also of course if you try to chase a dog they will create distance, they aren't intentionally blowing you off or some shit like that. They do the best with what you've taught them and where. It seems to me this balanced/purely aversive training is "how to feel superior" but I digress.

[@NightScaped]

​@@pitoububble Heey I don't mean to try and change the way you train or anything like that (There is no wrong way to train, unless it includes abuse, after all, and every humane method works for what it needs to work with) I just want to offer a different perspective on this! Think of balanced training like raising a child, you often reward a child when they do something "good", usually by giving them something or telling them good job, etc. But when they do something "bad", such as, for example, hit another child, you wouldn't reward them for that, would you? Positive and negative training is very important, and I think the name is very misleading. Positive doesn't refer to good and negative doesn't refer to bad, it is simply referring to adding and subtracting. If you've ever taken a toy away from a dog for being too rough, that's punishment/correction. In my opinion, too much of anything is bad, whether it's considered wrong or right. Too much positivity, and you have a dog who won't listen unless you have or they expect you to have treats. It's great for teaching tricks, but it's bad for getting rid of unwanted behaviors (Such as lunging, biting, being very aggressive, etc). Redirecting the behavior with a treat never gets rid of the behavior, it only redirects it. If I gave the child I talked about earlier, who hit the other kid, ice cream after they hit the child, it doesn't teach them NOT to hurt a kid, but does the opposite - it rewards the behavior. It teaches them that if I hit the child, my parent will come and give me A and B. The same, or at least it is very similar, are for dogs. And vice versa, if it was constantly negative things but no rewards, yeah the dog might listen but it doesn't listen out of respect it's only to not be corrected. Having a good balance of BOTH, however, has a dog that is confident and happy, but can learn from their mistakes. They are well rounded and know their boundaries, but aren't afraid or too spoiled. In the end, I don't think dogs should be trained just one way or the other, I think it's best to be trained with BOTH skills, positive and negative training! No one is hurting the dogs, but ultimately to set them up for the real world, they need to know what can and can't be done. I bet lots of people really wished they didn't have to "punish" their child or dog, but that's just sadly not reality; in the long run I see it more humane and beneficial to the dog to teach it both right from wrong, and not just one or the other. You need a balance to make things the most efficient!

First, I can't get enough of your videos! I have a new rescue dog that is already pretty chill. Really hit the jackpot with him. My last dog was a spaz. Reactive to dogs, people, the door, everything. She only new commands for our daily in the home life. When we were ready to get another dog I committed to wanting a trained and well behaved dog. I've had my new dog for a week and a half and he's now loose leash trained, he has a 90% come recall success rate and improving (I go get him and don't put up with non compliance), I've got him marker trained with 'yes'.... all thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work! Now I have more work to do with my family and getting them more consistent in their commands and expectations of the dog. They are so jealous of how the new dog is obedient and connected to me. They can have that too with speaking the right way to the dog and having clear boundaries and expectations of the dog.

[@longbowshooter5291]

One problem I have is using "OK" as a release command. Way back a long time ago I used to use OK too, until one day I was talking with someone and responded with "OK" to something they said and my dog took off after another dog to play. I use "Free" to release my dogs from commands now.

He does sit and waits till I release him to eat now and then waits till Kona is done before he checks out her bowl. Don’t get me wrong, he still can be sneaky if I’m not watching him.

I have 2 profiles and have been using this one lately, totally forgot I wasn't subbed, and I'm grateful to be back! 100% you're the boss! We have frontal lobes... they don't. So your dog has to obey 100% when you say "LEAVE IT, COME!" or use non-verbals (hand signals). YES! Obey, because the dog doesn't have the cognition you do and must trust you in those situations without being challenged. You're never done training your dog if you want a good relationship and communication with them, but unfortunately, most don't want to commit to that. If you're not training your dog (discipline/maintenance), you better believe they are still learning the standards you allow. Great video as usual!

My late American Bulldog ran away from me ONE TIME. I tracked her for over a half a mile, and honestly had to use my belt as a leash to take her home. You could visibly see when she decided that running was pointless, and she surrendered. I never had to chase her again, and honestly didn't even have to use a leash much after that at all. She learned that one time that when I say come it's not optional. I'm a big fan of your methods sir. I've been around dogs my whole life, and between yourself and Ceasar Milan, I think you have the best methods out there. You do a lot of what he does, but I think he vocalizes the "calm assertive energy" better. Or, maybe he describes it better. You very much use that method too, and say it in a way that is very much more direct. You say often to just be in charge. And, "I gave him a command, he ignored me. We're done with that." and tell owners to be over it. I agree so much with that mentality. -I- am the pack leader. It is absolutely not negotiable. In any way. Thank you for sharing your methods. I've already started applying the target for "come" with the dog I'm adopting on Monday.

Oops! I missed the "nose touch to hand" video. I will look for that. Thank you for telling us the steps. The "Go Get" has been working wonders for us! My puppy does come to me whistling at the dog park since she was 3.5 mos. which has saved us from aggressive interactions with other dogs when they come in the gate and she wants to say hello. Anticipation is everything. I am integrating verbal "come" back in as it gets cold and I realise that my lips get numb and I can't always whistle. Recall has been a bit of a roller coaster as she went through adolescence and became more independent. We are now back on track with the go and get and I look forward to catching up on my training with your videos and solidifying her recall. She is wicked fast and unfortunately will still do zoomies in the neighborhood if I miss an exercise session and a gate or garage door gets left open. I am so grateful for your videos and excellent instruction!!!

This makes me proud. That's exactly how I train my dogs to come. They don't stay very well, mainly because I don't work on that enough. I see now how it would be good to get them doing that as well, especially the excitable ones.

[@hugoh.9694]

Dogs crave a BOSS. When they have a boss, they can just relax and enjoy being a dog. Once they see you as the boss, they become even more eager to please just being glad they have a boss. Most dogs. Not all dogs. The exception to this are far and few. This was an awesome video.

Leader. There's a fundamental difference.

[@tinakeith2355]

Thank you for this great video. Our means are slightly different but our ends are the same and justified. I never repeated saying the STAY command twice before returning them and taught the COME command on the long line raking them up to me. I never took into account their puppy stage which now I’m sorry. On the other hand I ended up with well behaved mindful dogs I could take anywhere. I learned a lot from you today.

[@4meandmoo]

I just stumbled on your video.....righteous. Thank you for being REAL!

[@Laniere89]

Great vid, thanks for all puppy references, i think it's important because a lot of people search for early training or just tutorials before they get their dog! Thanks man!

[@MavericksGoosed]

I prefer this more direct approach than some of the other trainers i've watched. If you watch dogs, there's always a "boss" telling the others what to do, when to do it, don't do that, leave that alone. It's our job as the humans/owners to assume that role. Otherwise you'll get a dog who will take that role or a dog who has no structure and will be a handful to deal with all the time. Thanks for the no nonsense training methods!!

[@windyloom2267]

You have helped me so much with my new dog who was very hyperactive. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.

[@Labearski44]

Hands down the best, most useful instruction I have ever seen!! Thank you!!!

[@MrTimdriver]

Great teacher, this man!

[@elizabethseiden7456]

Hi Joel! Amazing video! I used the stop and don’t let the walk continue so my dog gave me a look to obey me and she was astonished! I remember when you said don’t let the dog sleep in my bed. Although, I let her but not to disrespect me. A Vet. said if you let her sleep in your bed then she’s on your level! My dog still doesn’t stay! I’m going to work on this one tonight!

[@dylanpintado566]

good stuff, this is going to help me this week with the new pup, i love your training style, your not playing around

[@sds1605]

Thank you so much!! This really helped with my 85kg Saint Bernard! Keep up the great videos!!

[@tedf7843]

Stay and Come when I see people training it my pet peeve is when they say it multiple times with increasing urgency. Say it once wait for dog to follow command and do it reward good behavior but have the patience to wait for the good behavior. Don't give in they know what you asked them they are just choosing to obey or not. Great Job!

[@Sparksy]

But then if they don't stay or come then you're saying it's okay not to. It's hard balance both sides

[@tedf7843]

@@Sparksy You can put them on a long lead and not give them a choice. My point was that each time you use the commands they have to be expected to be followed through proper training and not repetition. Dogs are smart enough to try to make the choices for themselves you take that option away.

[@brianmartin6982]

This is by far my favorite trainer on KZbin. I feel like we're one in the same. People always react negativity when they see a dog correction but I love to let people know that it's not my fault that the dog didn't listen. After a few corrections the dog usually gets it. This dude just shows his training on the fly. His Videos always end up with another or multiple training exercises. Love it

[@hsmomofmany9022]

All right you really got me with the say yes thing I've been on the fence about continuing this kickboxing class not used to doing something so difficult and used to being sedentary so yeah I'm guess I'm going to keep going

[@dancoleman8467]

You are by far the best dog trainer ever. And I do not mean to be judgemental. I've just never seen anyone better, and I've learned more from this channel than all the others combined. In fact, I won't even watch them anymore.

[@Queens4life365]

Thank you 🙏🏽 for explaining this straight to the point! Listen you have to monitor and manage your dog part of your responsibility as a dog owner is being able to maintain control of your dog!

[@AmyBairmommapreneur]

Great videos! I just subscribed. You are real and authentic to training a dog! I've seen many other videos from other trainers I've watched and yours does not compare! I have had my rottie in obedience probably spent more than I should have until I found a good trainer like you. He's 3 and a half. He's got a bulldozer for a head. He has hurt me in the past (not on purpose) because I wasn't firm or stern enough.He responds much better now that I have changed my tune! lol Ive learned the hard way with him. BUT, I have to be stern with him or he will walk all over me. Thanks for all your hard work! Love the dobbie in the background!

[@tracy3364]

This is great i remember doing this kind of thing with my kids when they'd been naughty and I did time out and my youngest kept getting up and running off and I just bought her back 5, 6,7,8, times till she stayed so funny....love this though

[@matthewpetta3108]

100% has worked with my female dobie based on watching and implementing your videos. There's always more to do when the consistency of training. You're method makes the most sense for me and Daisy.

[@jannellmeagher638]

I cannot thank you enough for the insight. I love every video. Thank you.

[@1dripy-e5s]

I love your videos and attitude. Learning to be the boss was the key for my home, this includes my kids and furries. Once I embrace being boss life got so much easier, calm, and harmonious.

[@MSDOGS1976]

I love your approach. My lab pup is 15 weeks old so not old enough for the go and get approach. But lots to work on before I get to that stage. I will be reviewing all your videos.

[@siemniak]

My 3 months old lab puppy knows arleady come sit stay pawn other pawn place leave it drop it bring it 😅😅😅 learned all in one week

[@JulieMoran1832]

Something that a trainer told me once that stuck with me, "In everything you do throughout the life of your dog; you are always teaching them something." As a parent, this is true of your kids as well-- l LOL. But when I keep that at the forefront of my interactions with my dog, I am always mindful of what I allow and how they behave.

[@dw8057]

Exactly! It’s called discipline. In our society, today, most people don’t like that word. This is evident in school, workplace, and personal life.

[@beautifullybroken3455]

I love your energy and your sternness

[@Haagsebluf]

Very good no bullshit video's you make! I love your style and learning a lot for my own dog. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge..

[@sioumurphy]

Thanks for showing us all the details, I am learning so much from your videos!!

[@EierkopfFuchsgesicht]

Im binge watching like crazy since i discovered this channel 😅

[@hevxhev]

Same!

[@jdaniels1313]

Really enjoying your methods! And your doggie psychology explanations! I have a 10-week old Malinois, and she is a leash-puller, biter (with love) and jumper, and still has PT accidents. She is also the sweetest, most loving dog, comes when called, and loves to be around her people. When I saw your dog-walking leash-pulling video, that made total sense! I don't want to be giving my dog cues or instructions every 5 seconds either, I want her to walk along with me, keeping in the right area, leash slack, while I think about whatever I want to think about during the walk. The "who is this crazy guy who randomly stops or reverses directions every 5 seconds" approach is working with my Mal at 10 weeks. I'll try this approach for come-stay when my girl is old enough, I think you said 9 months.

I like this guy’s attitude when it comes to dogs. He’s abit more grab it by the balls attitude. New subscriber
