Formerly aggressive golden retriever meets Prince and others//Private session

Watch as I slowly and methodically let an aggressive dog meet my dog and the group and highlight all the triggers you need to watch for.

[@sulemanmodan8095]

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzbin.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

[@gertpacu3926]

Aggressive Golden Retriever?!? That's a first. I have never heard of a golden retriever being aggressive. Normally they are in their own world, and ignore every other dog. My niece has one and she's about 60lbs and long legged so she's a taller dog than the GR I had as a kid. I have a Lhasa Apso who LOVES to play and the GR just ignores her. It's so crazy for me to see an aggressive GR. I am trying to watch the video but I am distracted by these gray yoga pants..

[@markbailey3650]

Prince knows this game all too well. We love him and his never ending devotion to his Dad.

[@zone07]

This is the most calm aggressive dog I've seen.

[@BDTraining]

There can’t be nor should there be “fireworks” in every session.

[@zone07]

@@BDTraining no one is asking for fireworks, but the dog did not show any type aggression; not even preemptive signs. Then again the title did say "formerly." Perhaps the video would have more value if it displayed a short montage of the dog's aggressiveness. All I see here is a happy go lucky dog.

[@tearsintherain6311]

Aggressive and reactive is not the same. A dog who lacks confidence and bites out of fear or nervousness is not an aggressive dog An overstimulated dog is also not an aggressive dog Think of the difference between a bar fight between two drunk people and a serial killer who lusts for blood or a criminal who doesn’t hesitate about erasing another person to achieve his goals. Or about first second and third degree murder. It’s not the same but it’s in that line, aggressive dogs are usually calm and may not even bark or show anything beyond their teeth, but they might snap at any moment. It is learned, not intuitive, often times by abuse or harassment by other dogs like stray dogs

Omg. Thanks Joel for saying "famous last words". It's something my late father used to say. ❤. And, it tells me that you so realize that even if the dog is doing well and looking good, and you can read them very well, you just can't be 100% sure. Love it.

Thanks a lot .. Your videos helped to deal with my dog .. You are most real world based dog trainer..

[@hatsnapper1]

Thank you so much Mr. Beckman for the wealth of knowledge you provide in your videos. We have had Jack Russells for many years and really had a great deal of fun with them. We recently adopted a rescue puppy from a kill pen, 4 months old, rescue group stated he was a Rat Terrier, when he started growing ‘taller’ we had to find out what we were dealing with; DNA test revealed half German Shepard half poodle. A VERY reactive type dog and one that has presented different training issues. He is a bitter, jumper and your videos have been our life line. We have been to puppy training school, but he was too much for the instructor. We are making progress, but sure wish we lived closer. AGAIN, thank you

[@token6274]

Prince is one bad ass dog. What a well trained and behaved dog.

[@Tomaskom]

Oh, "Fun Police", that's exactly my small (10kg) 12y crossbreed female 😄 She's a complicated case, her previous owner died and she went through tough times when I got her (serious breast cancer and broken pelvis), but in a very good shape now. Don't know details about her raising while young, but she spent 10 years mostly on her garden, meeting other dogs probably only through the fence (2 neighbors). I managed to train her at 10y from nothing to reliable obedience in 2 months, she's very smart (and quite attached now). Dog meetings were never a problem really if the other dog is at least a bit careful, she usually wants to meet and smell everyone (if I let her). But in many cases, 10-15s is enough and then she might start pulling out and do a muffled growl if the dog follows her to say "I've had enough of you". Most important though, she doesn't understand the dog play thing much and progress there has been slow. She was also protective of me at first. Although some remnants of that could still be seen, it's nowhere near what it was - but some of the behavior could stem from this. She can run around with other dogs, but it doesn't feel like play from her side. She ignores them mostly when we're on the move together with a pack, but sometimes runs after them to bark at them twice when we're stationary for a while and the dogs are playing. Especially to bigger ones. It's not like aggression, won't bite, looks like trying to scare them away. Some owners of young dogs even requested I let her "show them the boundaries" when they're too much, and that she's very good at. But only rarely we found a dog she truly enjoyed running with playfully. Getting her to play with other dogs, or at least tolerate their own rough and loud play, seems difficult, as she probably never really experienced this when young, or not nearly enough. Although it's not much of an issue if we're moving as a group, so might be still some protectiveness. I tried tons of desensitization and other stuff, also forcing her to be close to dog play while marking and correcting any negative reactions, but slow and steady seems to bear the most fruit. Recall is absolutely reliable, so I'm not concerned about her running into trouble 🙂

[@heidikapp-clark2658]

Hello, I am sooooo glad I found your channel. We are currently fostering a very friendly, but aggressive dog (Jasper) when he plays with our heeler/shepherd mix (Ollie). Jaspers play has slowly increased in aggressiveness as we have now had him for 2 months. We were hoping to adopt him. Last night Jasper and Ollies Play turned into a fight pretty quickly and Jasper wouldn't let go of Ollie when we finally got to him. Jasper is so stubborn and has no "give" when it comes to him being top dog. We have been working with Jasper on so many things and this is next on the list since it is now the most pressing issue. I just want to say thank you for posting your videos on how to help correct this behavior. I am starting today after work. Jasper is the sweetest boy and we want to help him be his best self and be able to play with other dogs. Thank you, thank you thank you!!

[@entendresquared4314]

Prince didn’t really want to approach this dog at the beginning and I wonder if he picked up on the other dog’s energy. Once they actually met it went better than expected but the retriever seemed quite stiff at first. A great session as usual.

[@EierkopfFuchsgesicht]

I had to laugh so much when he got off the leash and just wanted to go to the pool. I have a labrador retriever and he is the same 😅 the retrievers loooove water (and food) more than anything 😅 Edit: new sub here. Im a dog owner of 25 years and i have learned alot. I love understanding dogs and helped alot of people too. Your Videos are soooo helpful for people that have a dog without training and educating (themselves). And even im never done learning

[@heyhailss]

The second he laid eyes on the pool, all bets were off 😂 he was so excited to go swimming

[@JS-hq8iq]

Interesting, informative video - seemed to me that lovely Ridgeback's energy was maybe a trigger for the golden. (Have an exuberant intact male ridgey myself 😬 - we're training every day!).Quick Question: Watching a few of your vids with Prince and seems as though he was a little more wary here? Knowing Prince as you do- does the way he reacts sometimes give you additional "clues" about the client's dogs?

[@BDTraining]

Yes you picked up on something. Could be that he’s starting to pair muzzles with problem dogs so even when the dog is good he’s wary. Or it’s that he picked up on the dogs energy that I didn’t see.

[@bradleybell383]

[@chubbagoddess7515]

10:56 The poodle changed excitement levels. You can see it giving eye contact to the golden and kinda blocking off its path. The golden responded with avoidance by looking the opposite way. His tail was still up which was probably indicating he would choose to fight if the poodle went futher. But no, the poodle decided to go away after the golden avoided in the brief moment.

i gotta admit. this dog looks like its just waiting for the right time to flip out and go nuts. its a very smart calculating dog.

[@drewd2]

Could you explain what the different signs between dominance and aggression are? I watched your dominance video and now this one so it would be helpful to see a video where you really differentiate between the two.

[@digitalsahil2586]

Dominance means mean-mugging other dogs, excessive marking with scratches, trying to mount other dogs, just considering itself the bully of the playground,etc. Aggression is an intent(intent, not certainty) to hurt. Sometimes margins are thin between the 2.

muzzled, wet, on leash, away from owner, foreign territory i don't think this dogs home behavior can be assessed in this way. great video prince is the man.

[@leashr]

I like the written tips! I wonder if people sometimes accidently get another look alike breed like a Kuvasz or ... instead of a golden retriever and have issues because of it. I've only seen one reactive retriever with not too great handler.

[@iga279]

Prince deserves a huge meaty bone after his hard work. He does half the job.

[@kristenacendejas8459]

Are you correcting him with flat buckle collar? Do you always use that or check chain?

[@janetstarr10]

I have a 30lb dog and walk him using a harness w/ a ciip between the shoulder blades. Do you recommend using a front clip harness or a Martingale collar or a gentle leader for leash corrections? The reason I ask is because I had a large dog w/ laryngeal paralysis who had surgery, but eventually aspirated, got pneumonia, and eventually had to be put to sleep. (He had other health issues and was about 10.) I am paranoid about leash corrections using a collar on a smaller dog. Do you think this is a valid concern?

[@beatrixcat]

I love your videos and the energy you exert! I see this works great if the other dogs are not so reactive. But how would I go about introducing two dogs who are both leash reactive to each other? Through a fence first?

[@BDTraining]

It’s quite a process and I hesitate to give complicated advice in the comments but here’s what I’ll say. Desensitization is the single most effective tool for dog aggression for the average person. Essentially the dogs being together(fences, crates) but not being together, is so important. The next step is more complicated but start there.

[@hezzininety-five9993]

Prince knows not to push that dogs buttons

[@dickmcsaucy]

[@bearbear4030]

My dog is a rescue Neutered lab Pitt mix who is 1 year 10 months old. He lived in a cage the last 10 months. I just got him Friday. He does extremely well on commands in the house. I’ve worked incessantly since the second we met. My problem is, the second I say “outside…sit…wait!” He does great until I open the door…..Booom…out he goes…pulling me with him. There is absolutely no control once we get outside! I cannot control him no matter what. Treat, his favorite toy, commands…he pulls with fierce brute strength. He pulled me so hard, he’s broken one finger and tore my bicep! He’s going to rip my arm off. How do I get control of this dog? I just subscribed!

[@shannonfrink7939]

One helpful thing is to do just door training, at a bedroom door multiple times a day where you aren’t even going for a walk. Dog is on leash, told sit, stay. You open door. If dog moves forward at all, dog corrected with NO, and leash pop, SIT, STAY, and door instantly shut. Do this over and over and over. Also do it before you head to your door to the outside multiple times each you head for your walk. Dog is only allowed through that door when it stays in the sit when you open door. When the dog successfully sits and stays, YOU go through the door. If dog gets up, same correction and you start over. If at any time a dog drags you through a door, it’s back inside for the dog. Doesn’t matter if you have to do it 10X. Consistency is KEY in dog training. Build time into your day for this several times a day. It won’t take long if you’re consistent with rapid corrections and not allowing the charging through the door. Time consuming, yes, but well worth the results. Also, put your dog’s leash on at random times during the day when you are not going for walks, so that the excitement level of the leash goes way down.

I get the progression and the "earn your way off" of each step. Once they dog makes it to say off leash/no muzzle w/ Prince; where do you start the next session? Does the dog start from the beginning every time? start from the first step and advance to each step faster? Do they get to start at a later step?

[@BDTraining]

Yes in a way you start from step one each time, but it moves much quicker

[@AndyJarman]

I once owned two golden retrievers, as a breed they are besotted with the human race. Ours had lost a lot of 'doggyness', they preferred not to mix with other dogs, they didn't scratch the soil after peeing. The boy often didn't cock his leg. A very different breed - very focussed on humans. We now have a lab who is much more self assured and sees his relationship with dogs as HIS business. He knows I won't rush in and help him when he's challenged by bolder dogs - so he has to learn to fit in when forming a temporary pack at the beach. Our retrievers were so gooey they'd often feel they had to police other dogs to ensure the other dogs didn't take liberties with us. We were at or below the retriever's status in the hierarchy. With the lab I assert my position in my relationship, he's so much less mushy. Clear boundaries about furniture, coming into the house is a treat. My partner has spoiled him somewhat (he's allowed on the furniture now) and you can see he's constantly testing for confirmation that he is NOT in charge by challenging rules every now and then.

[@AndyJarman]

Retrievers are so clingy with humans that the owners can sometimes fail to set boundaries and expectations of behaviour. It's all that soft blonde hair and big brown eyes. My lab has only rolled on its back and put his unmetered tail between his tail for two dogs. One a Carne Corso (please, help yourself, take whatever you want, you won't my nuts, here they are, please don't hurt me). The second dog was a Golden Retriever. To my eyes the boss retriever neither acted dominant or demanded submission. It's surprising how different dogs perceive other dogs, breed or size or personality often doesn't come into it

[@beaut-ful-d-saster]

Joel, I think Misha's nose bumped the Golden's, and it tickled. They had to pull away or they would've sneezed all over each other.

[@mirandawhitten5254]

Do you have any videos on being protective over another dog or one on only reacting when being sniffed? My dog is fine if her "sister" isn't around and the other dog goes straight to playing rather than sniffing her.

[@zloungeact]

Yes.

[@AndyJarman]

The Retriever is VERY imprinted on humans. You can see the dog needs constant assurance from the humans. Joel projects confidence and maintains "emotional" distance. I think the retriever is confused and feels compelled to insert itself in the dominance heirachy because its owners fail to do so.

[@denisegirmer4550]

[@BeckysYarnEscape]

I am having a problem with my two females. They were both intact and we recently had one fixed. They were good with each other until the younger dog went through her second heat cycle. We chose to get them fixed to help with the aggression. I can have me Aussie out of the crate and come into the room with my German but not the other way around. I would like to get them both to the point of being out of the crate but I am nervous since there has been bloodshed. I would do ok with the German if she could come in the room with the Aussie if the Aussie is crated. Getting to that point would be a big step. How do I get there.

[@josephcheney1561]

Beckman used "Maytia" with a correcting tone... (and it works). Any thoughts on actually practicing the name as a correction? Thinking about other handlers (wifes, children, relatives) who would realistically default to a dog's name in the same tone. IE - Can the same word but different tone, work for training?

[@BDTraining]

Tone is everything

[@hugobarroso7382]

[@toniwalser3989]

I'm A big fan of Joel's training. My only question would be wanting to know more about her fiance's dogs. I say this because this dog may or may not be the issue, especially being that they are not neutered.

[@cowpuddles4851]

Do you let your dogs loose in the house while unattended? We have without issue for years but for some reason now two of mine have become a little reactive towards each other. I’m thinking of crating them from now on.

[@johnbojorquez4159]

Our 1.5 year old Shiba Inu has been doing significantly better with loose leash walking after following your training. We're trying to work on the dog-to-dog aggression too. His instinct whenever he sees a dog he really doesn't like (even from a distance) is to bite me on the leg with full force, which often draws blood. Besides incorporating a muzzle into our walks, any additional advice you can offer?

[@BDTraining]

Yes, but I’d really need to see or hear more about the situation. Maybe an online session?

[@boooshes]

My two cents - if your dog is biting you in these situations, you need to get tht taken care of immediately. Call Joel.

[@idarahmqvist1373]

Great video! Why does it seem like my dog (10 month tibetan spaniel) only is reactive mainly towards timid/careful/“softer” dogs? He has met intact males and been best friends with them RIGHT away, and then there are others we walk past (not meet) on walks we’re he goes nuts.

[@DOGMAN-ex4is]

When Prince was pet by retriever’s Mom and retriever didn’t react what would you do if the retriever would have reacted negatively?

[@BDTraining]

I would have given a leash “pop” while waking him away, then told her to pet Prince more. It’s an important that a dog understands that their “mommy” can pet whoever she likes. The dog is rarely protecting the owner but rather is resource guarding the owner.

[@Jan-wj1vi]

What a GREAT video! 2 points though. Why did she not hold the leash maybe she is weaker and he would be more aggressive? And I feel like dogs are smart and they know when they have the muzzle on. He tried to remove it at least 2 times....I loved how when she pet her dog the whole crew came at her and his tail was wagging fine!! That was awesome!

[@BDTraining]

We were in the first phase and if he aggressed he was going to need a clear correction that I can only give. That correction was so important that I needed to have the leash a be ready. Plus her holding the leash was secondary because we had her pet her own dog while a bunch of dogs surrounded them, which is much more of a trigger than her holding the leash

[@heyhailss]

The first muzzle was a cheapo one I bought from Amazon for this lesson. It didn’t fit correctly and that’s why he kept pawing at it. We eventually switched to a better one that they had at the facility and it worked much better :) and I loved watching him react positively when the group of dogs came up to him! It felt like a breakthrough moment and made me so happy ❤️

[@whatthefunction9140]

I'm dyslexic. I can tell Beckman is too

[@elizabethseiden7456]

I believe that my puppy has extreme anxiety! When I left her in the kitchen to eat her breakfast, she ate fast and followed me the bedroom. I have to socialize her somehow. Possibly with a neighbor’s dog. I don’t think she’s ready for the dog park. Also, I heard that there’s often fighting at the dog park. One side of the park for smaller dogs is better maintained than the bigger dog park side. I don’t think she wants to fight with other dogs. However, she’s probably not comfortable around some of them. I’ve seen her be very calm and sweet to some new dogs!!!

[@louis-philippegagnon1505]

Hey. do you have any videos or suggestions about my problem? I would like to train my dog but she still have 6-7 hours of free time alone with my other dog at home in the yard. Do you think it ruins my training by letting her "choose by herself" for most of the day and then she does whatever she feels like when I go for work.. thank you I LOVE your videos. Makes me want to become a caninr educator. Thanks

[@saramations]

Yes. I'd never leave my dog outside unattended that long. I'd be afraid of a dog fight, them getting out, getting into something, or getting stolen. But that's just me. 🤔

[@mikefrost8775]

I agree with the first comment... I've got pitbulls myself, so I could NEVER leave them together unattended. I've made that mistake before when I was young and it ended horribly 😞 When dogs REALLY go at it, they'll kill eachother! Even a fenced in yard isn't guaranteed to stop a determined dog from escaping either. I've got dog's that can easily clear a 12-15ft wall if they feel like it..

@@jamespendergrass6946 I have noticed my dog a 14 yr old staffy is on the leash she keeps it tense all the time and when she sees another dog she goes crazy, I think she actually feels my tension through the leash, but when she escapes my yard and sees other dogs she just plays with them.

[@belmum1689]

*My staffy is about 28 lbs and she is strong, my arm feels like it gets dislocated every time she walks me aka she pulls me around but imagine a 120lbs dog doing it.

@@belmum1689 my dog does this, ripped my bicep and broke a finger. I can’t control him. He is going to kill me or kill another dog

[@belmum1689]

@@bearbear4030 I feel you man, I got to be honest I don't take her out anymore, my partner does and she still pulls even at 14 yrs old. I believe that is why she is still alive she is one fit dog for her age. What does your dog weigh?

[@jessicajarsak7812]

I thought it’s bad to correct a dogs growl, like it’s their way of communication if saying they’re not comfortable in the situation. And if we correct growls then it can become dangerous where the dog will stop growling and just nip or bite without warning. Am I wrong? Or did I miss something?

Prince is pretty small for a Dobermann. Mine is 5 1/2 months and a few pounds shy of 60 lbs…. Then again he’s of European decent, prince definitely looks American

[@wendyrussell4191]

Great video. A lot of different interactions. The owner giving him bum scratches while he leans and faces away to me is not a good habit, dominant and stubborn

[@danielh3579]

he is only being good to get to pool...the retriver fool us all

[@AndyJarman]

Retrievers are so clingy with humans that the owners can sometimes fail to set boundaries and expectations of behaviour. It's all that soft blonde hair and big brown eyes. My lab has only rolled on its back and put his uneutered tail between his tail for two dogs. One a Carne Corso (please, help yourself, take whatever you want, you want my nuts? here they are, please don't hurt me). The second dog was a Golden Retriever. To my eyes the 'boss' retriever neither acted dominant or demanded submission. It's surprising how different dogs perceive other dogs, breed or size or personality often doesn't come into it

[@richdavis7621]

I just wonder if maybe her other dogs are the trigger.

[@cynderloner4028]

I'm impressed with your techniques. Question: Do you find that a dog with a muzzle on reacts in a reserved way because he/she is aware that they cannot inflict their intended control? I'm just wondering if you might give people a 'tool' to use at home when there is no muzzle. I've worked with many an aggressive/dominant dog and find that gray area with the large ones.

[@BDTraining]

Yes and no, it’s my belief that dogs often act different when no conditioned to a muzzle. But I don’t think it’s because they know they can’t bite, it’s just that it annoys them

[@cynderloner4028]

@@BDTraining Exactly. The awareness that they don't have freedom with their mouth. :) I should have worded my question differently. The issue I have had is creating the same situations under which a dog will react as a 'bully' without giving them 'mouth freedom'. Either way, a true trainer gets into a dog's psyche. You, sir, are a good trainer. :)

[@veram6240]

Does anybody know how old Prince is? I can't access based on the videos, but he looks approximately around 1 year old, maybe less.

[@trueblu8]

I think people should have to take classes and tests before owning a dog, especially powerful dogs.

[@IkkeKendt]

What's the explanation/psychology behind an owner petting their own dog being a trigger?

[@jolindo6724]

how do u get an aggressive retriever... usually they are very friendly and co-operative?

Denial helps

maybe she brought the wrong dog lmao
