I think pack corrections was 50%- your correction and desensitization were each 25%. As a preschool teacher I had a kid who bit- a lot, often and nothing we did seemed to help. Finally he bit a smaller but tough girl who calmly bit him back- hard! That was the end of biting. That little girl was the “prince” of my classroom. Also she never once bit anyone else.

I'm 65 yo now but 40 years ago...before internet, you tube..etc I was training dogs this exact way. I raised dobermans and did rescue ( was a vet tech then). People thought me crazy. Well I absolutely got results...instantly.( within a very short period of time). I understand how dogs work know about almost all breeds their purpose. So yes I agree 100%. It saddens me when people think dogs think like humans. Wonderful thing about dogs...they don't care what happened yesterday can not think what may happen tomorrow they live in the now. Hope you get what I'm saying. Anyways good work. Keep doing what/how your working.

[@Gazzaroo]

They don’t care what happens yesterday? So why does getting attacked in the past completely change their behaviour.

[@UrvinisM]

Dogs learn differently than humans. They rely more on feelings, sounds, smells, and visual thoughts rather than verbal thoughts. Conditional reflexes are more important for them, and they form with repetition. Dogs don't care what happened yesterday; they care what happens every time they are in a situation. Unless it's a traumatic experience. That's a whole different way of learning. If a traumatic event does occur, it can cause learning that is instant, lasts for the rest of the dog's life and is very difficult to change. Dog interactions with Prince in these videos might sometimes get a tiny bit traumatic, but in a safe, ethical way without causing harm. Dog might remember "what happened yesterday" in these scenarios and the effects have a chance of lasting longer with less effort so that sounds great. However as a dog owner I have never thought of a good way to use traumatic experiences with training my dog. My conclusion after thinking about it for the last 7 years of owning a dog is that there is simply no practical, safe and ethical way to use trauma to train a dog at home(I am not even that morally against it, it's just not possible to create a situation where it would work). I don't ever want my dog to remember what happened yesterday. "Wonderful thing about dogs...they don't care what happened yesterday..." - That's the only situation you want.

[@dakotalandandcattle]

I have owned heelers since 1997. It's so easy to see when this heeler gets into his instinctive driving, heeling mode. The flat run and then the bite. It is imperative to socialize a heeler pup early and be firm. They are a tough dog, and strong willed. I believe they are a dog for a more experienced dog owner, as the Dingo base in them is still very much a part of their personality. My dogs were working dogs, so I learned early about socializing them as puppies. My first, most dominant heeler, wouldn't heel another dog or most people, but he had heeled two people he perceived as a threat. Both were a light nip. He did work cattle and goats. and would treat an adult goat much differently than a kid goat. I also had horses and an old pony who taught him to leave horses alone.

[@trumplostlol3007]

All herding dogs are very fear aggressive. They were bred by humans to bite and bite to kill. They either dominate others completely to become less fearful. Or they will have to "learn" to let go their dominance and still feel safe by making friends or by practicing mutual tolerance. My Aussie mix (with super dominance behavior) fought with my old dog twice. It was scary. After the second fight, I said "enough is enough". I grabbed them both into the bathroom for the final stand off. I yelled at them severely. I made sure they would never fight again. They were never friends, but they learned how to tolerate each other. There was never a third fight before my old dog passed away two years ago. Older dogs are more difficult to make new friends. I adopted my Aussie when she was 2. My old dog never had a problem with other dogs. But older dogs can still learn to tolerate and survive peacefully with each other, just like humans.

One time, I knew someone with a very aggressive dog who just loved to drag the owner. I volunteered to walk it so they said ok. I let the dog know right away we were going to walk at my pace and every time he tried to sprint, I stopped, pulled his leash back, ignored him until I was ready to walk. At the end, he was walking beside me and not even looking at other dogs. When I took him back to his owner, they said I was too mean, that I should not have treated their dog so roughly. So I said ok, then walk him now. That dog took one look at their owner, gave a dog smirk and took off, knocking the owner down. The owner ended up giving it away, but at least that dog walked beside me one time. Some owners are just stupid, I hate to use the word.

But that's the case for just about anything in life. If you own a dog it's your responsibility. If you need help, get it, but it's still on you at the end of the day. What I've found is, most dog owners literally never correct their dog's behavior. They completely ignore bad behaviors and just pet the dog when they themselves need some emotional support. They don't snap, clap, or raise their voice at the dog and all they do is pamper the dog and let it run the house. Most dog owners, have absolutely zero clue how to own a dog.

[@KellysGarden]

I have a cattle dog who has always been very sensitive and timid and submissive. She doesn't go after other dogs like this one but gets equally overwhelmed. She's naturally more confident with dogs who show they have little interest in her. But dogs who are pushy and keep trying to play even though she is trying to retreat and deescalate the situation, tend to push her towards being snappy. She's never bitten. But air snaps. I don't see it as inappropriate on her part, I see it as the other dog being rude and not listening to her attempts to say "no". I wish there was a program like yours near me that I could have my cattle dog interact with well socialized, polite dogs, to gain confidence around other dogs. Its so hard to find a good match for my timid, sensitive cattle dog.

@@ConReese a calm temperament definitely helps. Our goal with socializing our cattle dog has been to observe first and wait to interact once she has those jitters out like you said.

She's already doing so so so much better on walks seeing other dogs. She used to be pretty reactive but we've been able to work through it and now she is able to stay calm and quiet when we see other dogs on our walk.

[@Solitude11-11]

I’m retired but worked with a lot of dogs like this. Same methods, pretty much. I’d say your corrections had the highest effect with this dog, based on how he was constantly checking in with you afterwards. And accepting what you told him. Prince gave him something to think about…his experience previously was being attacked (which Prince wasn’t doing) or attacking first (which you clearly told him was not acceptable) Desensitisation a little bit. He is learning impulse control over instinct, which in a way I find somewhat sad as he has been bred to do a job, be that way, then put in a situation with no job. But he is where he is, and you give him his best chance of success. I had so many dogs in on their last chance, but no one had actually very clearly told them ‘no’. You do what they need, if it’s that or death. Edit: I wrote before hearing what you thought on percentages. I agree with what you said, and especially on Princes interaction. That definitely threw a switch. But I still favour the corrections as a higher percentage, due to his immediately looking to you for guidance after. Not all dogs do that. I think it gave him confidence knowing you were in charge of the situation, allowed him to rethink, reset, and as you say, it stuck. It can be that fast! Great job.

One thing you did a lot but didn’t mention the importance to the training was advocating for Kylo and showing him that you were in control of the situation when it came to the other dogs. Multiple times you told the other dogs to back off, and I found when I was socializing my dog that was huge for her. If another dog came in a little hot, then I got between and told them off - so many fearful and unsocialized dogs get defensive, but him knowing he could come to you if he was overwhelmed helps him make good decisions. When another dog started something with mine, or my dog gave warnings that another dog ignored, I always made sure to be her backup and take her side as much as is appropriate. That way she knew that if I was there, she could defer to me when things get crazy.

[@coriannerogalskyreddy8050]

thanks for this video. I wanted to say that I applied your "I see it" method for Prince barking at squirrels, to my standard poodle barking at my kids in the pool. Even though I was in the pool with my kids, my dog was still clearly worried about the kids safety and was trying to alert me that the kids were flailing around - they weren't in danger, but I can see how kids learning to swim and playing looks like that to a dog! It only took two pool play sessions doing your method to have no more barking, etc. Now he just looks at them, looks at me, I acknowledge, we move on. I don't think I've ever commented on a YT video, lol. but I just had to say this, even though I know it's not the topic of this video :).

I said “I can do this all day and night as Idon’t have any place to be until tomorrow night.” And then voila! You’re talking a bout making shirts!

[@mordeys]

My parents always had multiple dogs...5, 7, 9 not abnormal at all. We lived in the country and "strays" would end up at our place all the time. Most couldn't be rehomed the way they were and if they went to the shelter many would have been put down. All most all the bigger aggressive dogs all it would take was one of the older bigger dogs to call them on their attitude, some time little bits of blood was drawn. But they became best buds and alot easier to help get good homes after. Dad said it was like being in a wolf pack. There was an alpha male and female and they kept control of the pack and taught the younger ones to become social in the pack. They never let attacks really happen but...sometimes before we got the dog really to us they would push to hard.. the older dogs always seem to know when to stop. It was weird seeing them later still "correcting the attude" usually all it took was a look and a low growl. Ya know the look like mom gives when you are in public ya same look. Enjoying these very much.

[@Flippokid]

For the people interested in body language: This is a prime example of why tail wags are not always good. Look at all the times he's wagging. The tail is stiff and high. It's not a fluent motion from the waist to the tail end. It's like a mop that has dried up.

Yea i think the only thing you can read from tail wag is excitement / energy, that can be good and bad

In Australia cattle are bred and grazed more or less "in the wild" - the cattle are pretty wild, especially the big Brahman breeds used in the tropics.

I have been training dogs this way for years. It is wonderful to see another trainer who takes reactive unsocialized dogs and helps them to become the dog that they can be.

This is so interesting! I have been working with a cattle dog who is intermittently aggressive toward smaller dogs for no visible reason. I spent many walks with him praising for "leaving it" and giving a harsh verbal reprimand for lunging. I don't reward with treats because it felt better to use my tone so I'm glad to hear Beckman say the same. The other day I corrected his lunge/bark at a dog who, in fairness, did bark/lunge at him, but a few moments later he was ABOUT to lunge at a neighborhood cat. He got out ONE second of a growl before I corrected him verbally and I swear he looked at me, like: "That was BAD, right? I shouldn't do that. Okay, I won't..." It was very cute and quite satisfying too. His owner says he attacks small dogs, but I had him walking in a pack with his "cousin" who he is submissive to, and two little terriers and he was amazing!

[@christaldogtraining]

I'm a trainer and work at a doggy daycare. My girlfriend a few months ago rescued a 5 year old, lifetime neighborhood stray pitty. She doesn't respect or understand humans as authority figures (she does now, but it took a while), doesn't give a F about treats when she's outside, doesn't listen to commands when stimulus is present, and has never been exposed to people or dogs in a positive way. We spent about 6 full twelve hour days slowly exposing her to dogs - using mostly my corrections, very similar to the brother and sister bullys that you've been working with. She had the slowest progress and was getting very frustrating to work with - due to the fact that she simply didn't respond to corrections (since she didn't ever see humans as any form of authority). It was the first issue I've EVER had with reactive dogs completely ignoring me. No check in's after corrections, no eye contact with humans (or fear/avoidance) - she simply didn't care that we existed. One day I decided to bring my big mama 130 lbs English mastiff in to meet her, and I Kept the muzzle on her(pitty) for safety, but let her free roam. My Big girl corrected her twice - a little differently than Prince backing him up - but ever since then, she truly realized her behavior was unacceptable. Since that day, she has now been with LITERALLY hundreds, if not just over a thousand different dogs and hasn't had a single other incidence. I think the percentage is very different for each dog considering the circumstances. For my girlfriends pitty, I'd say it was roughly 15% desensitization, 75% dog on dog correction, and 10% my corrections. For most dogs and this dog, I think rather than an even 1/3 split, the corrections were around 40%, prince 20%, and desensitization 40%. It seems like this was a very under socialized dog, so i think the desensitization is a bit of a bigger part (since he hardly knew what to do around other dogs), and the corrections were a bit more important because before this - it seems like he hadnt ever had a real "proper" correction for bad behavior. Lastly - funny story - You said "cattle dogs bite pretty hard". I KNOW *cry*. My very first day working at a doggy daycare, no one mentioned to me that a cattle dog was terrified of new people. I had my back turned and she bit my ankle and broke skin THROUGH leather cowboy boots AND jeans - then left purple and black bruise for about 2 weeks lol. We never became friends because the family moved shortly after - but I wont ever forget her

[@annabanana9863]

Love these videos. Just been binge watching. I use to have a boarder collie, male, who loved other dogs. I socialized him so much with other dogs cause I never wanted to go through dog aggression. He was even behaved around in heat females. He was trained to work cattle. Great dog, but totally did not like other people, which was fine. I made him a large run so when we had people over he was in there, he was fine until they tried to pet him. He was great with me, my partner and my kid, but anyone else he just didn't want to know. He wouldn't lunge at people or go from them unless they came to him, or towards myself or my son, he would get protective. As I said, we did all we could to prevent him every biting someone. Sadly i had to put him down due to health issues which made him even agressive towards my son and partner, which was very sad. He got chronic arthritis by the time we was 10 due to being a working dog. Best bud ever, miss him dearly ♡

Very cool video. It was cute to see the puppy go behind the Blue Heeler and look over his shoulder over and over. I think the fact that Blue Heelers are smart really helped here. This Blue Heeler seemed to recognize that the puppy was of no threat, and was much more concerned about the bigger dogs. That's why I think he had an issue with Zoey, who kept following and is a really big dog. That's quite the threat, even though Zoey wasn't being threatening. This dog clearly loves people, though, because when you talked to him or he looked at you he'd calm down a lot. He has lots of poise, too, to go from being so overwhelmed to being able to get back on track. Your %'s seem pretty accurate to me.

Her kids want to play in the alcohol when I politely told the kids please don’t play with that - the mother came over and yelled at me and told me I cannot tell her kids what to do so what I did was I told the woman that I would not sell her ANYTHING if she doesn’t listen to the store policy rules. She then claimed that I had to sell her her groceries,But I told her if you’re not gonna listen to the stores rules then I’m not telling you your groceries and you can leave she didn’t want to listen to me so she went to one of my bosses and tried to say that I refuse to sell her her supplies; after she complained to my boss, my boss came over to me and asked me for my side of the story. Well I was trying to tell my boss my side of the story the lady kept trying to interject but my boss didn’t want anything to do with it and told her calmly to be quiet. When I finally managed to tell my boss a true story, the lady became upset. The lady then tried to fib and say that they weren’t doing anything of the sort my boss knew better and decided to tell the lady that they were gonna look at the cameras. The lady was about to open her mouth when my boss told her to keep her mouth shut until they came back with the truth of the matter. Shortly after my boss came back and told me that I had done a good job. The lady just about threw a fit when she heard that; my boss turned around and looked at her and told her,” if your kids aren’t going to stay out of the alcohol when they’re obviously under 21 years of age we can kick you out of the store and ban you permanently from ever entering ever again.” The lady got all huffy and decide to leave without paying for any of her stuff and left her stuff there in front of my register. I wish one of these days that I can come across more honest kind and patient people and not rude and arrogant people who think they’re entitled to act the way that they are when it’s pretty obvious all they need is to take some calm deep breaths and realize that the world doesn’t work the way they want it to; the world works what IT WANTS to: and that is NOT based on any one person or their so-called ideas of how the world should work

The willpower inherent to Cattle Dogs is amazing; they have to be tenacious to drive Cattle. I laughed when I saw the dog look at Joel after the correction, assess the situation, then take a shot at biting Prince on the ass again. The dog definitely considered the corrections strongly though. I think 50% Joel’s corrections, 30% socialization, and 20% correction from the other dog. Mostly think this is the breakdown because Cattle Dogs tend to be handler centric. They will absolutely push the limits if you let them.
