How to help jumping, nipping or any other obnoxious behavior

Answering a Patreon's question about his dog not listening to him

[@johnnyfever9708]

The problem for most people is they get a dog because they want a friend, someone to love them. They hope the dog will naturally act in the right way without them having to train and correct their friend. They don't want to risk the friendly relationship they have with their dog by being the boss. But that's a recipe for disaster whether raising dogs or kids. Your dog can still be your friend, but he first has to respect you.

[@WollongongSkyWatch]

I know too many humans with this idea; it's very sad for their dogs.

[@dabiggdogg1027]

Very Well said I agree 100% good video. I like this comment as well. I’ve had 3 Cane Corso my youngest is 3 months old. Play if you want to they’ll show you whose boss and you don’t want that trust me.

[@rachelm7525]

You're so right 👍

[@jessicajarsak7812]

Yeah and dogs actually need discipline because they are just like little kids lol. Little toddlers in dog bodies.

[@jillsy2815]

Exactly!!! I used to tell my kids, "I don't care if you like me or not; I'm trying to raise a good person." 🙏🏽❤️

[@Boyhead1973]

I fully support everything you say 100%... I have an 8-month-old Border Collie and a 59-year-old husband. As I try to be consistent with his training, I also have to train my husband who is NOT consistent.

[@name.terrie]

"Correction", "meaning business", being no nonsense doesn't translate to being mean or abusive to our nuggets. I have to say, the leash training I learned from you/your channel and recall have been absolutely game changers. I so love the dogs I have the privilege to foster. I want the best for them, I strive to keep them safe, and for them to thrive. You have helped me help them so very much. Thanks soooo much.

[@triciawade8634]

Good to hear this as our 50+ kg 11 month old Caucasian Shepherd is terrible for jumping and mouthing and with her size it hurts! . We’ve started doing as you state as our breeder gave us the same advice - few days in and already seeing improvements - consistency is the key for sure 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@tracielillytan1530]

Thank you! I loved this video. I did a four week puppy class and came away thinking “That was a waste of my time, energy and money” I’ve learned more in this one video because it resonates with me…it’s not about being angry and yelling at my dog, it’s about taking charge!

[@sammokkasmith]

There are great trainers and bad trainers just like any other profession.

[@bluboyblu6315]

Joel! You're right on buddy!! Until your dog understands that you are the pack leader and the boss in your house behavior problems are extremely difficult to correct! A little tough love is in order here . My sister owns a small toy dog and one time just applying some of your techniques on a walk, I had her dog under control within 5 minutes and she could not believe it! But she and her husband continue to baby and pamper the dog with affection when she misbehaves, and so they continue to have problems. The other thing is everyone in the family needs to be on the same page about training the dog and be disciplined and consistent about it, otherwise, the dog will only be confused and never learn direction! Just my 2 cents! Cheers!

[@myrjoline]

Word!

[@pmlm1571]

I just got up off my duff and got my dog by the collar and brought her in and sat her down and looked at her, then let her go. That was for not coming when I called her to come in and stop barking at a squirrel. After I let her go, she went and laid down inside her crate all on her own. wow.

[@roxannecapitani1939]

Good pep talk Mr Beckman. 😄

[@chrisnossoughi9039]

By six weeks old my puppies know already no teeth on humans. They learn it within two attempts. The consequences are a fast and timed squeeze of the muzzle . They squeak a second and the release is immediate. They quickly respond with respectful licking. I learned this from our mama BoerBoels who taught me most of my dog training

[@MaryJ0]

Wow! You can see this sort of behaviour in our communities with parents who have out of control teens! Spare the rod spoil the child mentality 😮 I don't understand how people can abuse their dog/child, and it's the same thing with discipline. We have a generation of poor, unattentive, ineffectual and lazy parenting....goes in the same lane w their dogs. I completely understand. No freaking abuse, just good stern parenting. Give these pet dogs some honest, consistent guidance and attention. Let them know who is boss... Period. Thank you for the excellent advice. New follower for my 4mos old German shepherd female I adore it, but she knows who the bass is, and she LOVES IT AND LISTENS

[@colewooten8550]

I've been binge watching Joel's channel for 2 days now, and I am fully invested in his guidance. I love the fact that he speaks to us like real people and doesn't coddle us in a baby voice. Finally found someone that speaks my language (and my puppy's!)

[@LauraLemleyLucas]

I have been so grateful for finding your channel and all your videos. My favorite 2 channels right now are yours and Zacks (the reality training series), because they have given me real life expectations of my dog. And yours was the only video I've seen that broke it down for me that what ages we can expect dogs/puppies to learn some of these things. And learning that my dog is not abnormally acting like a psycho; this is very normal and it's up to me to get it under control, I needed it!. Thank you so much. We cant all be out there on the west coast or paying to come to you regularly so your insight has been invaluable! And I've said it before, but finding a trainer who doesn't rely on "correctional" collars to deal with just regular unacceptable behavior, a Godsend! Thank you!

[@jillsy2815]

This is why I respect and adore you so much!!!! 🙏🏽❤️🐾

[@DesignerFromMars]

Excellent advice as always and I enforce it when I’m with the dog I don’t mind doing it all day. However my kids and wife don’t follow my lead at all. It’s hard to be the “boss” of the dog when you’re not the “boss “of the house. Which brings up a video suggestion: How to train a dog effectively has a family?

[@WollongongSkyWatch]

My father didn't speak to me for 18mths after I called him out for disrespecting my house rules re my dog. It's a much tougher one when you live with the non-supporters.

[@rachelm7525]

I'd maybe call a family meeting and thrash things out. Arrive at a compromise if you have to, but it so matters that you're consistent. You all have to be on the same page. Good luck! 😏

[@kaitlynjennings3448]

I’ve managed to get my dog so calm inside and amazing on walks from your videos, he is just crazy outside 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve been trying so much hopefully I’ll try this one!

[@kaitlynjennings3448]

Outside in my backyard * outside the house he is great- recall is great and doesn’t misbehave.

[@maxinebulldog7095]

You are so no nonsense i love it. 😊 in our house wen we have had our puppies they learn straight away rules an boundaries and we make it biblical if they started to nip or show any other unacceptable behaviour...if you dont want a 50k dog doing bad stuff then dont accept it wen they only weigh 10k.🤷‍♀️🙂

[@cynthiakarkeys]

This came just in time for me! My 8-month-old just started getting squirrelly and started mouthing me... I added an extra walk and it got better, but the mouthing started again after a couple weeks. Thank you Joel for giving this first time puppy owner the tools I need to stay sane.

[@kellys6164]

Yes, this is so helpful.

[@claramoreno8456]

Great advice, thank you!

[@asp1213]

Awesome advice Joel. 👏 You've said it before in other videos. Once you really take the mindset of being the boss, and putting the time in and consistency on the corrections literally everything falls into place. I mush and love and squish my dogs almost constantly. Before finding your channel, I was also wishy washy on correcting pretty much anything my dogs didn't want to do. I have an extremely athletic high prey drive 3yo pit bull that was also the sweetest most cuddly dog, that was quickly on her way to becoming dangerous. Once I changed my behavior and followed these methods consistently, the changes in my dogs are nothing short of miraculous. I didn't just work on fence reactivity or leash reactivity, I worked on ALL the things. You can do this people!!!! I am not mean. I still mush and squish my dogs all the time lol. They still love me. But there is absolutely no question, I am the boss and unacceptable behaviors are unacceptable. Period. Having consistency and rules is good for the dogs and just as good for the owner. I enjoy my dogs so much more because I have so much less stress and frustration. It takes time and consistency. Sometimes it really sucks having to put my shoes on and 'go get' my dog from the yard late at night after a failed recall though lol I'm not going to lie! But that is getting better too, everyday.

[@LaraYAH127]

Hey Beckman family 🐾 It is time that makes a difference and patience. After you put in want your looking for it gets lighter. Loving them has nothing to do with wanting learned good behavior. 🐾💕

[@michaelrath6475]

I want well behaved dogs BECAUSE I love them. I'm responsible for their safety, they mean the world to me.

[@robertbaelen7656]

I love my dogs because they are well behaved. And I cuddle them a lot.😊

[@MB-lf8rm]

Yes, each of us has to have "the will" -- we need to have "the will" AND we need to have the DISCIPLINE to deal with those behaviors EVERY TIME. I confess that too many times, when my 10-month, 45-lb, pup rocketed to the end of the leash, I have just let go of the leash. Because I was too tired, or just didn't want to feel that massive jolt again.

[@BuffBodHotRod]

😬

[@LSZEsq]

They make leashes out of rock climbing rope, and various thicknesses, that do a good job of absorbing the shock. You really just can’t let the dog go. It’s going to get run over.

[@MB-lf8rm]

@@LSZEsq Everyone knows you "just can't let the dog go" when there are roads nearby. I only have let her go when we are out in the woods, miles away from any road. Also, while we still have a thing or two to work on with this pup, one of the things she is excellent at is staying close by and recall. She is ALWAYS within twenty yards of me, and she races back to me like a shot when I call her. She is one heck of a good young dog.

[@jillsorbera7247]

I love these pep talks!!!! 🐾❤️

[@Triciak6]

I called and left a voicemail and the answer was here along!! I just needed to hear it on the podcast and get another pep talk on KZbin😊. I know I’m not assertive naturally so after hearing this (and every pod) the whole family is making a plan to address the natural behaviors a puppy does as it grows from puppy, to adolescent, to adulthood, before we get the dog. We are practicing responding with the Uh-uh in a calm, matter of fact but not playful way. For people who have to work at leadership skills more than others, I think rehearsal is key. The behaviors are inevitable so we’re preparing collectively as a family. Still curious how to find the balance between socialization with a puppy and not overwhelming a puppy. We live rural on 10 wooded acres and want to be able to work on skills to bring the dog to busy locations with sounds/ lots of stimulation. My kids race bikes, there’s loud clicking of hubs, air compressed hissing of metal gates dropping, in addition to loud cheering/pa systems. Would you work on conditioning calmness and a “settle” to those noises, played over the phone, at home first? If so what age/signs would show readiness for working on socialization/calmness in that environment directly? I’ll be here 💯

[@brado6655]

For anyone who’s late here, this is how I’d handle it if my dog tried to bite me. I’d pop her in the nose and then grab her snout and lightly squeeze it closed. Not enough to hurt them but just enough to get the point across and then tell her “no! Bad girl” and put her in a sit or a down. Then ignore them for a while. Just what I’d do but I’ve never had that issue

[@maryuzo9734]

I'm a first time dog owner and I've got an 8 month old male Rotty ' Sledge' much against the advice of more experienced dog owners. But, I really wanted to get it right so, I found your channel months ago and your techniques have never failed me. So happy with the way my doggo is turning out to be a fine-mannered k9. I'd definitely get me more additions to the family soon. Thanks BDT.

[@Bigbilly-ms9bn]

I wish I would have found him first. I was trying Zack George stuff and my dog was just running rampant. Since I've found him, his behaviors are getting better. I just got a black lab/rottie mix. I wouldn't have got a rott if I had known. Shelter thought he was part mastiff lol.

[@martynrich5187]

Witching hour. Never really noticed that with my 15wk old puppy until you said that. AFter being walked during my break, I was wondering why they started to go nuts doing zoomies while on my last call of the day.

[@bastdanica]

Would love to hear more about dog correction when they travel in a car. Ours gets overly excited and woos and squeaks at dogs we drive past to the point of distracting the driver. We drive my son to school and bring the 3 year old boxer/lab with us. Thanks! Great video!

[@jdo2574]

Being the leader with always following through does not work for barking at people outside my home. I clap once and yell "NO" then get him. His ears are pinned and he slinks around and still barks as I come to get him. I've been doing this since I rescued him 12 months ago. I get him firmly every time.

[@BlingEyeCandy]

Since finding you on YT, I cannot stop watching and learning from you. Your videos are getting better each time I watch. The only suggestion I have is puting a microphone on the owner or repeat back their comment or question because it may be a question we are all asking. I see great results, that's all that needs to be said. Ignore the naysayers, they are inexperienced and overestimated. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

[@dougmerrick9064]

I go to the dog park to let my dog play with others. So many owners conpletely allow their dog to bite legs and faces, start fights for no reason, and jump up on people. When they see me leash and make my dog sit for jackass behavior they are all shocked. " good luck controlling your dog at the park" is a common saying from the average owner. I tell them exactly what beckman says. These behaviors are unacceptable and im the boss. There is no doing whatever she wants. The all give the surprised pikachu face. Average dog owners may own their dog, but their dog is in charge.

[@goymedhundDogtrainingBehavior]

Great video.( first sorry for the spelling - i am scandinavian ) I agree - so much could have been done if the dogs get an apropriate amount of good stimuli. I see this over and over - Some of these dogs are classifed as group Atype dogs and there is so much underlying stress . Sadly many owners7trainers think that a "calm" dog is indeed calm...they do not know that the dog can be highly aroused internaly and that the cortisol level is dangerously high. . So if the dog behaves the way your patreon talked about i actually think this might be a group A dog..The "deciding when to listen" , jumping biting getting worse when met with "hands on" solutions ( knee up to stop etc) . They might be super stressed internaly and are trying to avoid the owner - not being stubborn.. .This is a hard situation and this type of behavior must be met with a long time plan - empathy and a thorough understanding of dog behavior ( the updated kind - not the Millan way ;) .. i love how you tell people that they should not watch YT videos when they have the biting problem. For regular problems YT can be a treasure trove.. :)

I have a sister with an out of control dog. She used to have 3-4 dogs when she was younger, so I don't understand why she can't get this one dog under control. I have referenced a lot of your videos to her. I think a lot of the problem is she doesn't let the dog get out enough. He's bored out of his mind. Because of which, he literally chews everything, he jumps, he mouths, he doesn't listen or behave. Fortunately, it's not my dog, I just feel bad....for the dog. She really needs to work on him more.

We found your channel and learned a lot. The thing is: our labrador/shepperd mix listens to me (42y male), but when my wife does the same things the dog just keeps going on and on with the nipping and things escalate sometimes. Not that we hurt him, just grabbing the collar, making him sit just like you say, but the moment he's loose he continues to harass my wife. Never happens to me. Perhaps because my physique and voice are more imposing?

[@leejennifercorlewayres9193]

Hi. Can this methods be used on 5 month old puppy? We have Great Dane and there are times during walks he starts obnoxious jumping and biting (not aggressive). He is over 70lb now so “puppy” behaviour is more like adult dog size one. Thanks

[@rustyc601]

I'm reviewing your videos and we might be on the edge of "need trainer not youtube" but I'm still reviewing and researching. That said, in the context of this video, I'm dealing with a 3+ year old rescue who is pretty well mannered inside but behaves badly when offleash in the backyard. "Going and getting" to apply that "this is unacceptable" energy isn't an option for a variety of reasons. I'm mixing separation (he values interaction) and command + treat redirection to attempt to establish a different baseline of engagement. The next idea I'm considering is ecoller or require on leash (though he bites/hold leashes often) or building a temporary dog run to narrow the open area instead of the entire fenced backyard... allowing more opportunity to go-and-get. (I should say I'm interested in any video recommendations for adult dogs exhibiting behavior described in this video but without an ability to easily go-get. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.)

I just got my first real puppy. A Samoyed. Into 3rd week. His mouthiness was pretty bad when we got him. I watched vids on correction methods. Especially since I have young (4,3,1) kids, one of who keeps putting her fingers in his mouth. It took a couple weeks, but he's just suddenly clicked at 11 weeks. He is much more careful not to actually put his mouth on the kids. When he plays with my youngest he learned to be careful not to jump and land on him, and not nip either. His mouthiness is almost completely gone. I have used voice and active corrections, but also redirect and reward. When I saw him hold himself back with my youngest. He got huge praise and his favorige treat. But is this wrong? He isn't even 3 months yet.

What if your 3 month old dog’s nipping turns into biting when they get overstimulated? He bit my wife’s nose today and she was bleeding badly. It’s not the normal puppy nipping once he gets over stimulated or frustrated or whatever it is. It usually starts with playing, then barking, then biting. Not much time in between.

[@darth_veda]

Wow that must be a nightmare to live with. Seems like the GSD think she's the boss of the house. You gotta take her out and let her burn up enough energy before you start your training. It seems like she's not getting enough exercise. I find majority of behaviour issues in dogs is down to a lack of physical and mental stimulation. Touching your dog in a stern manner also gets them to listen as they find it quite embarrassing to have received a light spanking.

[@deniseagostinelli2855]

This is helpful and I see the benefit of more exercise. Have a 1 year old GSD pup and when we correct for mouthing, jumping, etc - it seems to amp him up more. He zooms across the room and wants us to chase him like it is a game. Is there a way to counter that?

[@LittleBarracuda]

i had this issue with my gsd as well when he was around 6ish months old, he would just get agitated by any reaction i gave. My trainer recommended me to just completely ignore him no matter what. It did really help and now he is out of this phase luckily. Lots of marks on my hands legs and arms but worth it. I don't know how well this is going to go with a one year old gsd tho due to the size and strength

1)One year old is no pup anymore. 2)put a rope on his collar let it drag behind him. Running away and playing all your sensitive notes, stops, balance on the rope towards the dog and didcipline him as Joël says. 3)Break your social contact with him by putting him for 15 sec in another 'bald' room. 4)Let him in again on your terms and conditions, rectify him, correct him, show him

Just watching this video again I’m struggling with a 7 month old german shepherd lean 70 pounds that’s besides the point he’s a little bigger than normal but he’s not bad inside of the house but once we go for a walk he’ll start to jump at me and bite me aggressively as in bite onto my hoodie sleeve and pull and rip my hoodie he’ll go as far as chase me down when I tell him to stop and push him off we can be at the park playing fetch then he’ll flip the switch inside little head and he’ll start biting on me I been so over it these past week I’m trying my best to find the reason behind his actions he’s great with dogs barely barely pulls on the leash and I do not treat him like a little baby if I don’t like what he’s doing I’ll let it be known I don’t hit him but I’ll go and grab him and simply say no if he starts biting outside I’ll grab him sit him down and sometimes I have to pin him down not choking him by the neck but putting my hands on his chest until he calms down right after that he’ll go back to biting and jumping at me if anyone has any tips on how to deal with this I would appreciate it

Can I do anything with a 3 month old Frenchie with regards to the nipping?

A dog is a full time job and basically is about commitment to educate them. If you're not willing to have patience for that wht you'll get it's nasty out of control dogs.

I think Joel mentioned this advice is for 7mo to 2years. Do we let him nip and bite under that? For my 5mo puppy I try to give him stuff to chew to replace what he chews ... But it doesn't always work even when I have brand new bullysticks and cod skins and Kong's.... Not sure what else to do for younger puppies

My dog thinks it's a game when I try to get her it's really hard to get her she's 16 months

She bit me when she ran away from home! I had to get a chain leash cuz she bit off the nylon leash!!

I know a dog who wont stop attacking feet , especially if someone's wearing shoes can someone explain the reason and the solution 😣

Serious comment: I use the 'loud clap' method almost all the time when I'm correcting or re-directing our animals because it works but my wife complains that I'm too loud. Without insulting her, does anyone have alternative ideas?

You cannot be lazy period.

Hi, we have a four month old Groodle.. and he does the sofa leap and nipping also, at the witching hour.. with her age, is the same response correct?

[@oscsantiago]

dat new intro tho

[@peks4924]

If you think you’re being mean by disciplining your dog then you are definitely a positive reinforcement only type of owner! Just saying 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hey Joel, i have a question about gentle leader. I started using it on my Golden Retriever 4months old puppy because he was pulling hard on a leash. Whats the best time to start using gentle leader?
