Steve (the owner) here-- thank you for showing us how it's done, Joel. Absolute pleasure working with you guys, and huge thanks to all-- yourself, Liz, Prince, and team. I think this was just what we needed to get from good to great. A lot of what you see already I think has only been possible since we started following your videos in this past month and implementing your big rules: door method, knee checking jumps, loose leash / leash corrections, go get, and gentle leader. The in person was just what we needed to lock that confidence into our mindset and level up. Much love and respect for all you do, can't recommend your work highly enough.

@@-touya_todoroki remarkably well. night and day. Lito (male) was going after Moo (female) over many things, multiple times a day. We were at our wits end thinking we were going to need to rehome. Almost 0 issues since starting on Joel's methods, and to be honest it's the only thing that really has worked, short of a squirt bottle full of vinegar as another trainer suggested. what we love about Joel is he's really shown us a mindset-- how to carry yourself, use your body language, touch and speak to the dog without hurting them or needing a shock collar or anything else.

Buddy, I can't tell you enough how much this particular video is and will be appreciated. There is no other dog like a Bull Terrier. The commitment to training and firm discipline is not for the faint hearted. They can very sweet and are incredibly intelligent, but if left to their own devices, they will absolutely do whatever they want and it will be a nightmare for the owners. I will say this one thing that most people misunderstand about this breed - the stubbornness is not what most people think. The stubbornness is a direct result of the Bull Terrier THINKING about everything before doing it. If you watch them after giving a command such as "come", you will realize that they are considering their options. As other owners have noted, they will do what you want, but it may be 10 or 20 seconds after they've heard the command. I'm not saying that it is okay for them to ignore you, I'm just stating a fact about this breed. They THINK about everything and tend to consider the idea that there may be a more fun option, which they weigh against any possible consequences for ignoring a command. More Bull Terrier training videos, please! 😎✌

My Aunt used to breed English Bull Terriers. Once, workmen were tormenting one of her EBTs by shouting and banging on the window as the dog watched them! Know what he did....

Bull terriers are in a class of their own, for sure. Amazing dogs but oh, what a stubborn handful they can be. Many have that terrier high prey drive which must be managed, and why they aren’t always dog friendly.

Now we have a young little girl, which is quite challenging because she needs a lot of training and experiences, BUT she likes training a lot, and she adore to please us. So quite the opposite of the old one, and we have to use this chance because she shows us she can become a great adult dog, but we have to work on it much more then before.

When i got him i was crying everyday literally, now Im able to have fun with him. I wish to see videos of how to deal with dominant / stubborn puppies, since in lots of your videos you say you cant be so strict with puppies. But sometimes you can see the dogs attitude.

I love my boy, and he loves me, but loving him means not letting him be a dipshit whenever he feels like it - and that means correcting his behavior when I don't feel like it.

When someone has a dog that is playful and just a great dog, (like this one) do you recommend training the dogs to know when it's okay to jump on someone? This dog reminded me of one of my dogs. He loved to play and rough play was his favorite. I was strict to never let him jump on anyone, unless I put on a pair of gloves, squared up with him and said "Whatchu got?" With a playful, challenging voice. I would kind of do a play bow by putting my arms out and doing a psych/pseudo advance. He absolutely loved it. He would bring me my gloves, begging to fight. It was so rewarding. But, is there a better or different way that you can think of? *I wore long sleeves and gloves so he could bite and scratch as rough as he wanted, without breaking skin.

[@Flippokid]

When you invite them onto you, it's okay. By tapping your hands on your knees/legs, or holding your hands up and saying come-on. I reckon these signals are kind of obvious enough that the dog understands them really fast. Training when something is or isn't okay is always a good idea.

[@BDTraining]

Until the aggression is under control I’d say no jumping on anyone for this dog. But I like what you did with the gloves. The gloves are a big enough stimulus to be very clear that jumping is okay when the gloves are out.

This means I can never feel certain to let her play with new dogs in case they jump on her and she ‘tells them off’ and if they don’t like being told off… well… It’s happened a few times on leash where the dog she’s greeted gets excited and jumps on her and she’s not happy about it.

Oh I'm ready for this one...my beautiful pittie and chocolate lab mix, is a just a super well behaved dog, but holy smokes her intensity can go from calm and barely awake to literally climbing the walls in an instant. She's 3 years old now, and the intensity has come down with adulthood and training, but she can still get fired up so fast! I think she might have a drop of greyhound because of her shape, and the specific way she does her zoomies. My dog used to jump up on people too, and we got her to stop, but we can't stop her from jumping. lol She's such a good girl she doesn't jump inside, and never when she will hit somebody. She just loves to jump, and found a way to behave and jump, so I let her.

Interesting to see this dog following. Cattle dogs do that, I think its to do with being bred to deal with large livestock - that belligerancy is needed when dealing with large reluctant herd animals.

My roommate has a bull terrier boy about the same age. maybe a few months younger. in the past couple months he has started being aggressive if we tell him NO in a firm voice. When he did it to me I put him in a time out closet for about a hour and kept telling him bad dog. Today however he was chewing on carpet for the first time ever and when my roommate told him no he was aggressive and bit her finger. This was the first time he has ever bit anyone. What is a good way to discipline him when he becomes aggressive, it seems just primal to me like hes going on full instincts. Is there a way to train him to learn how his parents being firm, is different than a actual aggressive threat like a hypothetical home intruder? He still has his testicles. I have been advocating to my roommate to let him keep them and train him. But after he bit her i'm not sure if that's a good idea.

My dog is aggressive to other dogs but just wants to play. He does everything "extral" lol when letting him out to pee/poop he acts like he hasn't been outside in a year, but once outside he just sniffs and lollygags around and I have to command him to use it. Upon going back inside I make him sit while I open the door then wait for my command to enter. He will shoot inside(just like going out) like a death demon is chasing him.....He knows the command "calm down" but after I say come or go......same thing. frustrating
