[@bslizardette4669]

It's funny how similar handling horses is to handling dogs. My dog has an anxiety disorder and before he got his medication he had severe panic attacks in even the most common situations that led to him biting (me - because I wouldn't let him bite anyone else). When all my learned training strategies proved to be in vain, I decided to try how I used to be around horses. Back when I was riding I was often dealing with the "problem horses" that other students couldn't handle. My dog started to make progress almost immediately as we were able to build a relationship from the base of that strategy.

[@Lelldorin84]

Oh man, I've seen timid horse "trainers" who end up working with a willful horse. Never ends well. Animals are not stupid they can tell who is the boss and who they can mess with in about 5 seconds of meeting you.

​@@bslizardette4669 Panic Attacks? he's a dog, not a human. Do you walk him? It might be you who has the anxiety and the dog is picking up on that 'weakness'. Just sayin'.

[@bslizardette4669]

@@carolynevers7924 I call his intense anxiety attacks panic attacks because he would go into a blind fear aggression mode and bite anything he could - many dog trainers call this "the red zone". My dog also never had a chance to develop a basic sense of security during his first two years of life - and when his problem intensified during the fear period and puberty, his owner was completely incapable of handling him even with professional help. I spent a good amount of money at the vet to make sure nothing else was causing his behavioral issues and although he has some absorption and skin issues, nothing in the tests could indicate a reason for the complete lack of emotional control that he has. The vet prescribed him fluoxetine (same medication used in humans to treat anxiety and depression) and with the proper medicine, we've been able to tackle all the triggers he's gained in the past eight years. His quality of life is loads better - as is mine, seeing how he hasn't bit me since - and we've made much more progress than I'd dared to hope this fast. We even managed to use public transportation (at the quiet hour, but still) when his last owner said that he used to spend all the time launching at any strangers because of his stress levels. So, yes, I call them panic attacks and hope that they're finally in the past.

i swear every time I start playing one of your videos, my dog stops whatever she’s doing, sits and gives me a look like she’s ready for todays lesson 😂

[@MrRdh567]

I have learned a ton from Cesar Milan. As the poster below me said. No touch, no talk, no eye contact. This works. I also have used my body to block my dog to keep him from leash pulling. I have an aussie and he loved to pull me around. Every time he pulled out in front of me, I would block him by standing in front of him and making him sit. It took a few times then he quit. I noticed also that when I did this training he started paying attention to me instead of looking all over the place. He looks up at me every few seconds to see if I require any other behaviors from him. I can take him off leash now on my property (8 acres) I do not permit him to be off leash anywhere else.

[@evac.8935]

I use the "Hey" as well - no one has ever taught me that, it just came instinctively. Last Saturday I was on a walk with friends, and their dog kept barking all the time, it was just super annoying. They talked and talked, "Lucy, no", "Lucy, stop that", '"Aww, shut up", but Lucy kept barking until I got annoyed and just stated a simple but significant "Hey!". Lucy stopped barking and stayed quiet the whole walk. ;) I raised and educated my late dog with the same approach - lots of positive reinforcement, but also clear boundaries, my "Hey" and a unique touch when needed. He was a huge male (a Landseer), not neutered, and weighed about 45 pounds more than me. He was the best dog ever, never stole anything, you could literally leave a steak on the table and leave the house, and it would still be there when you came back. Great with other dogs, great with people and children, great on and off the leash. My best friend and soulmate. Lost him in June at the age of 11 and still miss him every day. Have a new puppy with me now, as I found a life without a dog not really worth living. She's a Keeshond - we'll see where that goes. 😆

Joel your methods work!! On my rednose street-rescue, reactive dominant pitbull who I had (wrongfully! I'm sorry!!😢) tried to train with an e-collar, prong, sliplead; I had basically reinforced his dominance because we had been approached by stray dogs (Akita, Ger Shep, Husky) picking a fight with my dog (pinned them without hurting them then they run away) ... Anyway been doing your Loose Leash Method since July and had immediate vast improvement. But then we were stuck at a stage where he wouldn't pull but he would just stand in one place and bark/cry at the other dog. (October till now) Well! Yesterday one of my neighbors had a GSD & Lab running around wildly barking behind a wrought-iron fence and GUESS WHAT!!! My Charlie and I walked by with no pulling, no barking!!! One little whine and his breathing was sped up but it was SO WONDERFUL and I just hv to say THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!!!! And he's 9 years old! So it's never too late to see the Beckman Method change lives for the better🐾❤️

[@gusmonster59]

I had a German Wirehaired Pointer who everyone wanted because she was so well behaved. I endlessly explained she didn't come that way. You have to put in the work to have a well mannered dog. I do use 'down' for lay down, and 'off' to get off things or not jump up. I also teach 'wait'. This tells my dog to wait for the ok to go forward when we come to a gate, door, open the car car, etc.. It seems I have been using this method and never realized it. And only a few will understand this - I had Jack Russell Terrorist who earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate. Yeah - terriers CAN be well mannered. ;-) I love seeing these training videos the use sense for teaching dogs.

[@juliewalsh7401]

[@Zerpersande]

Ever agree with someone fully and feel that sense of joy well up inside because of being a kindred spirit? I have used Cesar’s ‘hand bite’ and ‘Psst’ for over 10 years. With my last Golden the touch was no longer needed. There were different timings and tones of the ‘Psst’ though, anything from ‘Focus’ to ‘’Heel in’ to ‘You know better than that, we’re not going THERE, are we?’ In the middle writing that last sentence I could tell my 4 m.o. Golden needed to go out. He decided it would be more interesting to tear around the room and hide. I used a loud ‘Psst’ to get him to stop and caught his eye. I had his leash in my hand by then and when he stopped he didn’t follow my command of ‘Sit’. And I just stared him down, using the energy/body language that told him this wasn’t a game. He sat, I saw that hyper energy leave him, I snapped on the lead and it was over. Thanks so much for your videos. I have a battle going on with the wife right now, as she is setting up camp with the Purely Positive crowd. Your clips are my allies.

[@CarlosRamos-xr9rj]

I must say… this is pretty accurate. My puppy had a nipping problem and we did everything that our trainer told us to do and it never worked. From ignoring, giving a chew toy, etc. One day i randomly started making unique sound which was like an “eh eh eh”… for some reason it worked… instantly. After like a day or two, she stopped nipping. Didn’t even reward or give a toy or had to stay still. Just the “eh eh eh” worked. I think the unique touch is missing so I’m glad I saw this to use this in our repertoire as well. Love your videos.

This video earned you a sub. I've only had 5 of my own dogs in my 66 years as I'm a one dog at a time kinda guy. My first dog at age 21 was a Cocker Spaniel that I trained to hunt pheasant. The next was a Lab to hunt waterfowl and I trained her to do blind retrieves. She was a great dog. The third, a Standard Poodle, was a little bit dog aggressive. I trained him with an ecollar, at the lowest setting he would respond to, as we live rural and rarely leash our dogs for walks. I needed a good strong recall for him. When he passed we got a Miniature Poodle and had him in Master's Class in Agility when he passed from cancer at age 8. Our neighbors got a Border Collie puppy and had her for 2 weeks before taking her to the Humane Society because they couldn't house break her or keep her from chewing up their house. We adopted her and she's going to be 2 this month. To this point she's the easiest dog I've ever trained. She tries so hard to please. If I make my strange noise its like I beat her and I would never lay a hand on her! I really don't need most of your content but I find it fascinating. I like your techniques.

[@larry_9982]

I have learned SO much from your videos. I have a very well trained Service Dog that I was awarded with last year after 2 years of Professional training. First thing I learned was that training never ends. Your recommendations in this video are exactly what I have been doing, I learned them on my own from necessity and am glad to get confirmation that this method works. It works!! I was also told that a "pinch" collar would have to be used for the life of my dog. I found, on my own, that a good head collar works much better and takes about 10-15 minutes on a couple of walks to totally transform my Angel into a totally under control animal. I rarely use the head collar now, almost never actually. Our life together is WAY better than the days after I had Winnie placed with me. She is my Golden Retriever Angel.

[@AhsokaJackson]

5:05 Yup! Fun little background story here: the sound was actually something he got from his mother, because it was how she would verbally signal/correct the kids. His dad's version sounded much harsher and angrier, so it wasn't quite the energy he needed to convey with the dogs. Also, it doesn't surprise me that folks try to say he was kicking them, but Cesar specifically noted when teaching folks that it's not at all some kind of soccerball kick or anything; you're just using your heel to give the dog a quick poke in that same flank spot you were discussing here. It allows you to keep both hands on the lead if you need to. Honestly, if you try the gesture, you can tell it's not really designed to deliver a bunch of force-just enough to catch the dog's attention and break their fixation on other stuff. Anyways, awesome video! It's really great to have another version of this! I understand that having consistent signals is important to avoid confusing dogs, and it's really handy to have clear combos like this that are distinct and won't be confused with other interactions, like someone just calling out to a friend or something. P.S. Gorgeous Australian Shepherds!! Their coats look absurdly full and glossy! 😄👌 And it's great to see how chill and relaxed they are, especially knowing that's a very high-energy breed.

a thumb under the jawbone is a ninjitsu pressure point, works the same as the dog jaw touch - no matter anyones size, they will move where your thumb takes them. used to use it to break up fights

[@KerriEverlasting]

Oh cool! I requested exactly this a while ago! Perfect! Thanks! 💖

[@marialperez1773]

Wow! that is a good learn to think, and it works. I guessed you got or learned this the same with Orcas before, and it's different; it's like a touch of an animal trainer from someone trained in SeaWorld!

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

Dogs, like horses, or any other domesticated animal, need to be broken. Imposing your will over theirs (without causing physical pain, of course) was the key to my dog becoming the good boy that he is after 2 years of consistency, kindness, care, and affection. He is 4.5 now, and an absolute joy to be around. I get compliments from anybody that interacts with him.

[@noelleursel7848]

what the fuck lol

[@gusmonster59]

No. They do not need to be broken. They need to be taught. Broken means you break their spirit and will. That is not the basis for a good relationship with any animal.

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

@@gusmonster59 Not necessarily. I didn't break my dog's spirit. Just his will. Punishing them would break their spirit but I never punish my dog(s). I simply present consistent opposition against any of my dogs taking the alpha role of the pack.

[@noelleursel7848]

@@IMCcanTWEESTED The whole concept of "alpha" dogs has actually been debunked. Unfortunately, Cesar Milan continues to perpetuate this false way of thinking about dog psychology in his training methods. There is plenty of scientific literature and more research coming out today about what we know now about dogs behave and proper ways to teach them how to do the right behaviours through evidence-based, non-coercive training. There is no need to "break" your dog OR your horse for that matter when there are such better ways to build a relationship with your animal.

[@IMCcanTWEESTED]

@@noelleursel7848 Debunked by who? I have owned 8 different dogs and establishing yourself as the protective lead is essential.

[@tomstevens6833]

I love how you ecplain to me why the style of dealing with dogs works. My noise is s quick loud and very short "ahk" and then depending on the dog i use my hand much like your saying if i know the dog . If the dog is unfamiliar i do the other vuy does with the foot. And yeah its not a kick. These habits i think i picked up just dealing with dogs that nobody else would deal with on a horse ranch. But the explanation makes sense!

[@Cathan1856]

The clap and ‘hey’ works great for my dog, especially when his play is too rough. “Uh,uh” works a treat as well. I never understood why Caesar used that noise, and didn’t associate it with the bump on the flank. Thanks for the explanation.

[@bjbumblebee5324]

I have used those touch points coupled with verbal pairing for a long time.I also have found that dogs have different learning style preferences .Sensory intelligence. Doggie sensory IQ. I used to assess this in at risk, behaviorally challenge youth years ago. My gsd responds to the flank touch more. I did not use the touch with kids, just to be clear but verbal, audible or visual

[@Flippokid]

Yeah they're quite different between them. My old roommate's GSD responded best to flank touches, but Marley (picture) looked at me like "what are you doing, you don't want to do this" but then responded exceptionally to towering over her without any touch. And now Diesel responds best to the grab and sit down method.

[@NikkijsNWA]

Thank you, I needed to know that information!

[@marymarseglia4536]

Absolutely correct !!! I say Hey or knock it off. Plus touch usually a foot tap to flank or to their face like you but I've used the actual neck too or corection.on leach

[@Lizzardward]

The confident demeanor thing is great and something I am struggling with. You have to teach yourself, even if you believe you are confident you may not be and I don't think I am putting off confidence and honestly not sure how to change. I will make sure to keep implementing this as much as I can. I was doing a touch on the chest but found it was too easy to get a reaction with my pup where I would end up getting mouthed or nipped at right after as he thinks it's a game. Thanks Joel.

[@marthafleming8611]

If you wouldn't mind, I might be able to help you with this--it's what helped me when I was an early Cesar Millan student. I'm female and I pretended internally that I was Wonder Woman taking on the evil villains and bad guys. I would stand in front of my two hyper labs, hands on my hips and focus on my WW confidence and patience. In a very short time (days) my dogs would respond correctly to anything I was instructing them to do--sit, stay, leave it, come, no!, drop it, wait. Sometimes they look at me for a few seconds as they process what I want. But I wait them out. Everything with training dogs is 1/2 training the dog and 1/2 training the human. The human training involves patience, repetition and consistency. And less un-earned affection. Just my 2 cents...

Unique sounds really go quite far. I recently got a Sheltie who was extremely timid at first and blowing raspberries for some reason just brightened up his day. He'd get scared of going on a leash walk for the first time but blowing raspberries would just excite him haha. So anytime he's nervous, I blow raspberries to tell him it's okay. Clapping is something I always use for bad behavior. Sharp, loud, gets instant attention. That with a good "leave it" and he quickly learned to not touch things I don't want him to. Very happy for this video, though! I'm hoping the unique touch will be good for things such as his jumping and barking behaviors he's started. As you mention, I need something new and unique. I've made the mistake of just yelling his name for him to come to me as well as when he's being bad. That doesn't work. He comes to his name so if I yell his name when he's bad like "Atty, no!" it just doesn't register for him. He comes over to me like I want something and even though that's good initially, it only serves as a distraction. Really, thank you so much for these videos. It's been a great help and I'm having a lot of success so far!

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

[@josh.andthedogs]

I think you're way better than CM tbh. He's all about the showmanship and doesn't really care that much about the animals (e.g. the pig bait episode) from what I've seen. If it makes for a more exciting episode, he'd rather endanger people and/or animals than put a muzzle on a dog for example. That's a big plus with you imo. You have a very good feel for when to muzzle dogs, when to leash dogs, how to keep everyone safe (human and other dogs), but also when to go for more freedom. Keep up the good work!

[@tstephens128]

Thank-you!, will try this with my Malinois, hope to get some jumping and biting reduced. she's a sweet heart, just gets excited and wants to say hello with her teeth all the time.. 🤣🤪

My dog still has a bit of a way to go (which is my fault, I was never really dedicated to modifying his behavior), but the amount of progress he's made in a few weeks after using techniques from your videos is remarkable. I also feel it's made out bond stronger now that he's getting that leadership energy from me. For instance, he never used to engage me in play. If I wanted to get him to play tug of war or whatever, I always had to initiate and get his attention. Since I've started using your techniques, he's begun to bring his toys to me so we can play. I'm sure you still get judgmental comments from people who prescribe to "positive reinforcement only" methods, but for me, the results speak for themselves. Yes, treats helped get my dog to cooperate in the beginning, but it was your methodology that kept him on track.

I learned doing the unique sound from training horses (especially teaching them to stand in the aisle with no lead on and not eat the treat bucket) and then I transferred that to the dogs in my life. It works! Then when I started watching Ceaser religiously I used the touch on the flank for walking or when the dog i watched saw someone outside and barked like a crazy dog. Such a big difference.

[@Gr8tBlueHeron]

I started doing this with horses decades ago - I reasoned that horses communicate their displeasure with each other by pinning their ears, but we humans have no body language for that. I solved it by introducing a hissing noise. Sharp and loud when I wanted immediate response, low and slow to let them know the action is not welcome and they're pushing their luck - the equivalent of a half-pin of the ears to say "watch it." It was nearly 10 years later I first saw Cesar do his "tsst!" thing, and my first reaction was that I couldn't believe it never occurred to me to transfer it to other animals as well! (works great on cats, too, BTW)
