How to properly meet other dogs

Learn how to let your dog meet other dogs on and off leash

[@salviadorrii]

I'm new a dog owner and I swear, I'm the one that needs the training more than the dog. Thank you to all your clients that let us learn with them.

[@marthasanchez4711]

Me too 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@myrahouse2368]

Me too at least we are researching

[@beautytrendz101]

Me too, learning every day. We are in control of how our dogs react and it is definitely up to us to teach them these good behaviors. You got this! Keep watching, learning and stay in control. Baby steps and repetition every day and you will have an amazing dog!❤

[@amb7440]

In no way are you alone, every person that has a pet needs to go through training. This is behavioral training that you see, in the form of mechanics or actions. Joel teaches us how to use the tools to become effective in our communications and communicating our expectations. He's teaching us how to use them and when, to build our relationship foundation with our pets. Your observation is excellent and what I love about this video is we get to see a novice - or, any one of us - learn to use the tools.

[@abettermind]

I told my trainer from the start that most of his time will be spent educating me, and he was 100% on board.

[@absolutelyfookinnobody2843]

"Go get your friend. I'm not your friend" lmao I don't know why that so funny but it was

[@urban_gundog]

This is a life hack for dog owners! Sometimes it's hard to put fundamental training into practice out in the world and I love that you are showing us examples of how to do this. Thank you 😄

[@chaselee1]

“do you want your dog to meet other dogs and not listen to you? Do you want your dog to learn to take more information from other dogs including strange dogs? Then this video is for you!”

[@packlyfejay2419]

Exactly

[@bravothedog001]

My dogs aren't good at meeting other dogs. Thanks for showing us the proper way. Putting this into practice starting today.

[@hereholdthiswillya]

Dude, you are changing our lives. You are a force for good on this troubled time. Thank you for sharing yourself and your skills.

[@Anon_E_Muss]

Definitely!

[@genevievefavreau971]

I love this - we are going to be so good at managing our dogs!

[@EvolovedDNA]

Very nice how you bring the owner into the training, because ultimately, he's the one who has to control the situation. The dog - owner connection is so important.

[@MB-lf8rm]

That Latte is a good dog -- obviously smart and sensible. He seems to have the right amount of innate restraint. Good-looking, too. Good genes.

[@jessicafuentes4555]

Lol "go get one of the crazy puppies"

[@shellyvang]

You don't know how long I have been waiting for this video! Thank You so much

[@lorilove2255]

True's wiggle butt is so cute, my son and daughter in law have a mini Australian shepherd and does the same thing also, they are very energetic too

[@dannyh5937]

Joel tells Dawson, "go get one of the crazy puppies, whichever one you want...maybe Bandit." Joel cracks me up.

[@edwardguzman8223]

Living in nyc your methods helps when meeting other dog owners that say there dog is so so and I tell them “no tension on the leash “ and “correct if they nip or try jumping on my dog” 90% of the time the meeting ends great and the owners are like thanks for the advice. I adopted my dog 9 months ago and your methods along with a few other dog Trainers I follow have helped build my dog’s confidence and obedience when meeting dogs. We’ve had dogs bark at us on meets and she doesn’t even flinch or respond out of aggression. I’ve even applied your door method to when crossing the street. I basically pretend we’re crossing and stop to make sure she’s with me. I get funny looks every time do it but I don’t care. P.s I recommend ur channel to every owner I meet 🤘🏼

[@mariowunsch1237]

100%

[@jdoveyk9422]

LOOSE LEASH! Gotta relax the tension. 🐕

[@busaram]

I found this channel recently. The impact it has had on my house and dogs is exponential. I can't thank you enough for these videos.

[@jillsorbera7247]

Hey I just walked my pupper & we met a new dog! All because of ur vids!!!! Yay!! 🐾❤️🐾❤️

[@koloblician5330]

The teaching the owner is so refreshing because it feels like we all make mistakes and can't always see them for ourselves or we make mistakes you don't always comment on when we watch you do your own method just because you are so practiced at it and we aren't. Great job by this owner! I keep forgetting my own training when I walk my dog and see another person walking their dog on a small sidewalk and we both end up with pulling dogs so these video help so much getting me to realize things like that.

[@ChR1St0p4eR]

Beautiful seeing the simplicity of body language and position training in keeping a leashed dog safer.

[@kathleenkennedy1331]

This is so helpful - I adopted a 6yo lab mix about 3weeks ago, and I’ve been watching your videos to learn techniques, both for me and for new dog. He didn’t seem to have a lot of leash walking experience, and does the lunging barking at other dogs, and sometimes people. Huge part is for ME to learn what’s acceptable and how o correct. Recently we’ve been seeing a neighbor walking her 8mo labradoodle, and she’s also trying to train her pup. I plan to share this video, and the age appropriate behavior video with her - and would love for our dogs to become friends. I ordered a gentle leader (arrives Monday). Your videos are such valuable tools, so glad I stumbled across them.

[@pmlm1571]

Latte is such a good dog; with this socializing help he will be perfect. What a joy to the owner. And Bandit is getting such good manners too!

[@EmEmJee89]

This is again sooooo helpful!"!! I live in Peru and there is a lot of street dogs, they normally are pretty chill and don't want any trouble but I must remember to stay relaxed as you explain here and I just walk past them, keep going my way. Street dogs are often more polite than some crazy dogs on leash with their owners.

[@mauracassidy1762]

STREET DOGS ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE GREAT DOGS AND WOULD MAKE GREAT WELL ADJUSTED AND WELL BEHAVED PETS - THEY UNDERSTAND ABOUT DOG MANNERS AND APPRECIATE ANY KINDNESS SHOWN TO THEM. STREET DOGS ARE AWESOME - I HOPE THAT MORE WILL BE ADOPTED ❤🐕❤

[@HunnyBee23]

Joel has always said “dogs learn best from other dogs.” Street dogs are a shining example of that! They learn how to greet and interact with other random strays without any humans correcting them. We humans protect our dogs from those important life experiences so they never learn.

[@pothszabina]

This is one of your best videos ever. It was especially good that you gave clear instructions to the owner to follow, to actually teach him. Great video. I'd love to see more like this. Thank you!

[@aleyshaelmer1822]

This is such a helpful video! My 5 year old rescue loves dogs but he rushes up to them off leash. This is great video to apply on leash and work towards off leash meetings. Thanks so much, Joel.

[@annahargrave8309]

Thank you , so helpful. I struggle with other dog owners having no idea what they’re doing though. Tricky

[@terridavis9278]

Watching ads before video. Supporting Joel's business any way I can because HE IS AN AMAZING trainer : )

[@User7688.--_]

I do the same! 👍

[@CritiquelHit]

I’m convinced Connery lives with Joel lmao

[@asp1213]

🤣

[@magnanimus9692]

I don't own a dog, will likely never own a dog, but damn are these videos helpful. I believe learning about dog behavior (and how to correct it) is just a good life skill to develop.

[@shanedrury4742]

Mssing out man if you never own a dog. Great companion and unconditional love

[@magnanimus9692]

@@shanedrury4742 My work schedule wouldn't allow me to give it the proper attention and care it needs. Me getting a dog would constitute animal neglect/abuse and that's not cool.

[@a.scottiedog2093]

This is such an awesome video. Latte was such a great dog and listened very well after some corrections. Wish I had a prince! Love it!

[@sibeldjc1864]

Gem of a trainer!!

[@beverlycole4836]

The best video of dogs meeting other dogs by far! Thank you!!!!! 🐾🐾🐕

[@adrienne5836]

I am so excited for this video! We have avoided tons of meetings for our puppy because we wanted good experiences and were not sure how to make things go well. Im excited to know how now!

[@karlaarguello3482]

Just here to say this video is gold and thank you for actually showing us useful techniques to do different things with our dogs. Especially as they are learning instead of a dog that already knows what you are showing us. Your channel has become my favorite to watch as I just got an American bully puppy that is 14 weeks old

[@Angela-lo1ny]

I could watch you all day! So,so helpful! Thank you 🐾!

[@denisenix90]

Just recommended your channel and the gentle lead to a fellow pit guardian . She was so appreciative. I told her u are one of the few that actually understand pits and other bully breeds.

[@MK-bt4w]

Great video! I need to try this with my dog. And Bandit is doing waaay better than before.

[@tracy3364]

That was amazing gonna try this with my puppy he's only 3 months will see how it goes

[@evertthielen6991]

Over the top this video 🏆- thank you for helping is us out even across the ocean

[@anneo.8195]

Thank you for sharing good essential guidelines for when dogs meet for the first time! Latte's owner did a great job letting his dog know he was present with him, and Latte seems like an awesome dog! Also, Bandit's progress....amazing!

[@annablendermann]

I was directed to the Beckman channel by another owner. I have a fiesty vizsla who passes well but has so much trouble with greetings. She hyper focuses and often will fight me to not take her eyes off another dog. This video was very helpful and I like how you guided the guy through the steps too. Thank you!

[@cyclesmoking]

I don’t even own a dog but I love watching your videos. My brother & family have two dogs that have nice friendly temperaments, but they need serious training since they are out of control. I helped my bro work with his dogs using your techniques, with some very good results. Thanks!

[@taylorschumacher3141]

Loving the live audio videos recently! Thanks Joel!

[@laurar196]

Joel is The GOAT. He is seems so genuine and real. too bad me and my crazy GSD live on the other side of the country. She needs some serious work!

[@jens5934]

That dog is awesome! Smart, great personality and well natured. Owner can be very happy and proud to have him. It is nice to see a well mannered dog with no mental issues for a change. Shows how blissful dog ownership can be when the right breed gets matched with the right environment and owner.👍

[@sg_steadfast]

That's such a. Awesome looking dog 👽

[@LaraYAH127]

Bravo Beckman family 🐾👏, Great video

[@c.cooper9549]

You're right...this may be the most important vid for the real world meet and greet with dogs. Your methods work, and seeing it play out this way really helps enforce that an imprint on our stupid human brains! Thank you!

[@gregchambers6100]

I know it seems regimented and strict, but it's not really. It's great learning, situational awareness, safety enforcing, manners, good behaviors making all our lives far more enjoyable. Excellent.

[@absinthe_nishi]

What seems regimented and strict? The content of this video? This video is fantastic material and I fully agree with Joels approach but I can't see how anyone would think it's even close to being regimented and strict lol

[@luislimasbrazoban8352]

Weird buzz in the audio, great video none the less. Would LOVE to see more of Prince in action though I LOVE those videos.

[@philcannizzaro7512]

Really good vid! The criteria of being too focused in addition to leaving is key. For my dog that focus is a precursor to a reaction. He's 0 to 60 and the focus is the foot hovering over the gas pedal.

[@raisedbywolves72]

Those scenes of everyone just playing at the end are just so nice to see. Love it! And thank you!

[@jillsorbera7247]

This was fantastic! Love the puppers playing at the end, too! Please do more leash/leash meetings! 🐾❤️

[@ThoughtsOnNews]

Latte is ADORABLE! Great session. Thank you 😊

[@agnesyll]

I love this video and an older one you have with a young woman walking her great dane for loose leash walking. Mainly because you never touched the leash and instead told the owner what to do. It's something different and so helpful! Thanks Joel.

[@jenperry4219]

Love the build up for the extra scene - was not expecting that!! 🤣

What a good dog!

Hilarious that some subreddits (r/dog training) have a ban on talking about this channel, which is incredibly helpful for real world application.

Another fantastic video Joel! This week I interviewed a candidate for my company. I asked him what he did for fun. He told me he enjoys his heeler mix that was rescued from Tijuana streets. I recommended your channel. Proof I recommend your channel literally to everyone I meet that says they have a dog!!!

[@bostonmommy8698]

You are a great trainer love watching videos. Wish you lived close by so could bring my dogs. So nice to see someone train how I think.

This is such a timely video! Please keep your videos down to earth and real like this. No need for any fancy stuff- you have all the elements with good camera work and editing. This is great stuff.

[@tessavandenberg4059]

So glad I found this channel a few months ago, and learned so much already! I had a dog for almost 6 years, (cocker spaniel) and was never able to fix some things, like walking next to me, and it kept being a struggle her whole (to short) life. I wish I had seen this channel sooner, so I knew better what to do and how to react, because I know it would have been so different! Next year I hope to find a new buddy, and I already now that this time, the walks are going to be better because of the things that I know now!

[@jenniferrothschild4329]

Another amazing video! Thanks Joel🙏🐾🙏

[@iainbaker2742]

Really enjoyed this video. Having a very reactive dog, I recognise the need for slowing things down and redirecting focus. Found this very handy for further fine tuning doggy meet and greets (and I like it when things make sense!)

[@grethen123]

Awesome video, thank you very much for sharing! Love how detailed the explanation and examples are

[@fernando00soccer]

You are the man. I’ll keep saying it. I love your method on everything keep them coming

Joel, we started conditioning Wynnie to the gentle leader before we discovered you but we have changed how we use it because of you and your LL method. Thank you. We will see you in July for our Board and Train. Can’t wait.

[@waynemiller6070]

Good stuff. Everything that I've seen you do and tried myself worked surprisingly well and surprisingly quickly. I will be trying this with our friend's dog in the next few days. And I'm sure it's going to work great.

We paid to calm our dog down with training on using an e collar. She is now a year and we no longer need the e collar to just get her to calm down. Now we are moving on to socialization with places like Lowes or Home Depot which both allow dogs. I'm always nervous, but with the hold of your videos, we are doing great! Love you methods. Keep the videos coming.

Hi Joel, love video shows a natural way for dogs to meet. It also demonstrates what should be done if dog exhibits wrong behaviors in the meeting process. Please do video on ending nipping of ankles of guest in the home need some step by step instructions on how stop such behaviors. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this! I have an almost 2 yr old golden doodle and I am so nervous about him meeting other dogs but I know he needs it. He usually gets super focused on them and sometimes barks and huffs and puffs when he sees other dogs. So we do the pop and turn away which has gotten better because he used to full on bark. He still will like buck up and stand up so that’s why I’m hesitant still. So he’s not the only one needing training me too lol
