Joel, 8 months ago I was completely lost with my dog. I considered giving him back, because I was so out of my element. Your videos and inspiration on consistency in training absolutely saved our relationship. My dog is now a joy for others to be around, he listens when I give him instruction, and his recall is close to 100.0%. Thank you a million, Joel.

What age is your dog and how is your recall when playing with other dogs?

[@bronsonboucher3661]

@@professorm3136 i got him when he was just over a year old, and he will be two in March. high energy hunting/working breed, catahoula leopard. with other dogs around / playing, I may have to call two or more times to get his attention (after three calls, I am on top of him and pulling his butt to where I said he needs to be). but once he knows I've asked him to do something he realizes it simply isn't worth it to resist. Joel calls it learned helplessness, and it absolutely works.

This 15 minute video has done more for me than a $1400 training program. We flunked out of sit means sit. Do not recommend for small dogs, or at least sensitive little demons like mine. I could write a mini thesis on all the reasons that was the wrong program for us and how ripped off I feel...but....3 twenty minute sessions of practicing this and I have a pug who comes when she's called. We will continue to work on this a ton, because out of ALL the things I want my dog to mind me on, this is the #1 most important. THANK YOU.

[@DenaInWyo]

Cane corsos are NO JOKE when it comes to training, so whatever you decide, I hope your son follows through diligently. Only 7 lbs? Is it a newborn? lol That said, that program was not the right fit for us by any means. I don't need to have my pug face me on a platform, walk on different surfaces, or have her head hang down and tail uncurl whenever I put that damned collar on (the trainer told me a 6 mo old puppy was "manipulating" me by getting scared and unhappy over an e-collar that scared her). I just need her to come when she's called and poop outside (and we handled that part already). Worked great for my son's lab, was like flushing money down the toilet for me. Literally just called her from downstairs, across the house, and she came running at top speed.

I like using "stay" something that always builds anticipation to teach a reliable "come" because they're SOO hype to finally be ALLOWED to come!

[@abettermind]

I'm of the opinion that the "stay" command does more harm than good. Every command should have an unspoken "stay" attached to it. The dog should maintain their command until given the "break" command. Our break command is "free" but it's the same thing. With that said, we did use "stay" when the puppy was very young, but phased it out as soon as he understood what was expected.

But I made sure I chased her down and brought her back to the same place. Three times and the fourth time she let me grab her collar without any issues. And she walked down two floors when I said come. Super win! Just in 15 minutes. I need to do this everyday. Thanks a ton!!!

[@brent9516]

[@stevietalk1]

Great - key is consistency to ALWAYS following up ! NEVER give a command or ask something that you won’t follow up on if it’s ignored - wilfully, for fun or b/c of distraction . When training, I keep a 6 ft. leash on, even in the house so I can easily get & retrieve. Any training like stay/sit/down etc .. NEEDS to be followed up on after the FIRST command/ask .. don’t repeat command .. dog becomes lazy b/c there’s no immediate follow up. Always follow through - that is the borders//boundaries. Allowing them to KNOW what you expect from them.. where they fit in the pack - happy dog ❣️

[@celiofam108]

You are amazing!

[@laramiegrinde9246]

I think you're doing something here that some people may not notice. You're giving Cooper a release. You're telling him when it's ok to go do his own thing. So it's much more clear to him when you need him back because it's so different than when you turn him loose to play. It's very cool. You're so clear on "hey I need you to come", then "hey, we're done, you can go play with your buddy." I LOVE THIS!

[@stephaniedaigle4794]

Except when you’re in “Training mode”, if you want the dog to Learn, you need to have him “ FOCUSED, And NOT distracted, …. especialy for the first several Sessions! You can start to introduce this, “with” distractions “after” he’s learned the command… ! If not you’re just gonna overwhel the dog! Also, this is an older dog too, so that is why he’s able to get it a bit faster than say, a smaller puppy …. you shouldn’t wait until a dog is that old to teach recall though … !

Yep! You don’t want a dog vaguely wondering when he or she is allowed to resume other activities, and definitely don’t want to set a pattern where they just have to decide for themselves. That key about making sure to grab the harness so they don’t just dine and dash plays into that nicely, lol. And I noticed that Cooper also seemed to respond more quickly to the release signal as the video progressed, like he was gaining a stronger understanding of what the cue meant. 😃👌

Another review is in order aftet i've trained my blue mountain shepherd with brandon mcmillan's method.

[@gamadmex]

What I really like about this video is that it shows real-world situations not just a perfectly trained dog who has already has mastered the command. I have a 6-yr-old rescue, who is very good natured, gregarious, and very high-energy. He has had some very good professional training, but "Come" is not something that he knows or simply chooses to ignore. I have already started him today, incorporating what is shown here. He is highly food-motivated and bright, so hopefully he will grasp the concept quickly.

Some background, I spent 15 years working with animals at a shelter and was injured on the job when a dog swept my legs out from under me and I ruptured a disk in my back. I adopted a dog to train as a service dog and had a facility that we went to weekly for training. I could never get the recall to stick with the methods they were using. I pretty much gave up on training her because of this. Your methods have given me confidence that she will come back to me. She is the fasted dog I have ever seen, it literally blew my mind the first time I saw her running in a large yard at the training facility. Thank you for this advice, I really appreciate it.

I have a 10 y/o Lab mix I got when I was 13 and I made soo many mistakes with that poor bastard, because patience was never my strong trait. But I was willing to learn and learn I did. Anyways, his recall has been at 95 - 99% for the longest time and when people asked me how I did it I honestly couldn’t tell them. After watching a good amount of Joels videos I realized that in my impatience I just never let him blow me off and I did everything right, unknowingly. I was so lucky with that dog in so many aspects. Still, poor thing for having to be the first dog of an impatient 13 y/o, but he laid such important groundwork for every dog to come.

[@yildendelta6761]

Recall is much easier to train if you use a 20-20ft long line in order to kind of reel them in if they ignore you, give treat, praise then rinse and repeat. Don't do overly long training sessions, the dog will get bored and less cooperative. That's how we did in when training our Rotts in Scheutzhund, we also did more than on type of training exercise in one hour sessions a couple of times a day. Patience, treats and repetition will get the job done. Have fun..

#Moreglob - I’m at the same 80% with my dog. He knows it’s good when he comes, there’s only positive results. But at times he’s just too distracted, and sometimes just even willfully ignoring the command! Redoubling my efforts with the grab and treat will be a big help, I think.

I was a noive handler and disappointed that I got a Lab because I'd been told by others that "Labs are dumb". I wanted a GSD. Long story short, little Filly was anything but dumb. I called her my pocket rocket. She was a lot of dog for me then, given my lack of experience and skills, yet she always did her best for me. I'll always have a soft spot for Labs and someday, I'm gonna have another one... or two or three. But yes repetition and consistency are keys to success in relationship building and dog training. A wise trainer once told me: "You get from the dog what you put out. If you want a better dog, then learn to be a better human. Or rehome that dog."

I know that's right, lol. We have 5 dogs, all but one are rescues. One is a bit of a struggle, but he's just 10 months. Our newest rescue, another husky, acts a lot like Cooper. He tries to stay as close to me as possible. He's about 12 months. In order to train recall I actually have to have one of the other dogs out to distract him. So by the time he's feeling secure enough to leave my side he should be well trained on recall. People have told us for 20 years that huskies are impossible to train, but that's not really true. It just takes a tiny bit more patience.

[@MarkDavidsonGittyBox]

Yellow labs are easy to learn this because labs generally want to be next to you majorly of the time anyway. Try it with a husky or malamute or other breed other than retrievers. My experience is always always make it a positive experience when they come to you. If they receive any negative consequences you’ll destroy any chance of them ever listening to your command. I’ve seen friends who are angry and yelling at their dogs because they don’t even acknowledge and intentionally ignore avoid them because they’ve learned and have been conditioned by their owners. Dogs need positive feedback for doing positive actions that you want them to. You must accept any minor characteristics that they may have initially and then persistently work with their personality traits. Like people dogs have many different personalities behaviors that will give you slightly different results and reactions to commands learned or are learning. Generally they want to please you because you should be the leader of the pack and they need to feel accepted by the pack. IMHO

Thank you! this is such a important and needed message, I used to tolerate disobedience, that is a major mistake & poor training they learn that they don't have to listen or respect your commands...this could end a dogs life ie running away or into traffic...and impact your relationship, cost you $100k in liability for a dog bite etc after all they want to please us but that is what training is about. Now I demand obedience every time it doesn't mean being mean or overbearing just tenacity and demanding respect and they & you will appreciate it too being in control of your dog is socially expected.

Cooper is an awesome dog! He's like "it's just way, way, WAY easier to stay close to Joel 'cause I want to keep the boss happy!"

[@asp1213]

I love this dog!!!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Been using this technique for two days now and it's been amazing! My lab comes when called about 90% of the time. A few mre days of consistent training and I'm confident it will be 100%. Thanks for the video.

[@BDTraining]

Glad it helps!

[@nichtschoenaberselten]

From my experience, the amount of urgency in the voice contributes sometimes to get a good recall in critical situations. Volumes sometimes beats excitement. And being short and poppy with the articulation of the command is indeed very helpful for longer distances. Shepherds commands are good examples to learn from, I figured. I experience, that trampling sometimes also helps, since I usually approach my juvenile criminal very quickly to interrupt unwanted behavior. He knows that my patience ended, when I run towards him. Sometimes though, I feel that to praise the dog for coming too early, is counterproductive. Not sure on this one yet, though. Great content, as always. Love your channel and learn a lot at the moment.

[@mamag7184]

Thank goodness I found you here! 🙏 Have a 6 month old female Romanian rescue pup and have had her 6 weeks. I live in the North of Scotland. She had only ever lived in a concrete yard. She is now toilet trained, more confident/happy etc but, I cannot get the commands to 100%. She is almost there with it all but is super easily distracted and gets very reactive. I hope by watching all of your videos we will get to 100% very soon! Thanks in advance for your help. 😃

[@salman11223344]

You’re the most genuine trainer out there Joel to be honest and a life savers for dog owners. I have 2 Kangals, 2 Presa Canario and a Rottwieler and your training methods work for all of them. For people who don’t know about Kangal: train a Kangal is like training a wolf as that much hard they are but I just wanna say an honest thanks to you for giving the perfect information about the most important things “loose leash walk, stay calm and the top “RECALL” Stay safe my friend! ♥️ 🇨🇦 🍁

[@User7688.--_]

An impressive line of dogs! I bet they keep you busy.

[@cynthiaracicot6502]

Your training helped socialize my girl in the last 6 months of her life.

[@NotFalling4it]

I really love your no nonsense training. Super clear, precise and effective. Thank you.

[@123sette]

Especially the starting to praise from the second they turn to you I find very important, it teaches them exactly what it is that you want to see. That is something very few people do, they only praise when the dog has arrived but that doesn't do the thing in the learning fase.

[@rachelm7525]

This is just what we need! Only we will use a long line, our boy is a runner! Thanks! 🙂

[@Blacksheep12267]

For what it's worth... I applied a chaining technique with my puppy. Listen "the dog name" with a gesture or you need to listen post then the come command.provided there was a response to listen. (You can also do down, stay, speak, house, car or leave it). For bonus fun... Change the language keep the inflection and gesture. Makes a great parlor trick. Really enjoy your content and think your fundamentals are solid. I do love my Dobe. Training her is as easy as getting wet in rainstorm. (Until she disagrees and throws a tantrum. Then it takes some skill and effort)

[@valorielewis2858]

You are the only "balanced" trainer I see as a perfect balance. You tell the dog that what it did was not ok but then give treats for when it does something so it doesn't build a negative association with you. I love this type of balanced training! so many people say they are balanced but never give treats and barely any praise but this is truly balanced training!

[@dalehepworth1647]

The different technique for a dog under 9 months compared to an older dog is invaluable information. Took me a little bit to understand why the training methods i had used to successfully train my first dog ( a 1 year old rescue ) to a perfect level were not working well with my current puppy ( a 6 month old rescue ). It's these small details that can be easily missed and make a huge difference to the end result and the bond you form with your dog early on.

[@allthingsharbor]

Finally ! A dog training video wherein a dog is actually being trained so viewers can see what happens in real life and learn what to do next. (I use basically the same techniques to train my dogs. Yes, that 'grab' of the collar or to attach a leash is like sealing the deal. However I add a click with the treat...no, not with some silly clicking device but a tongue in cheek click that means I can always make the click. )

[@wickedbruja]

This is the most useful video about "Come" that I've ever watched. Usually the videos are full of general idea and don't explain how actually the command "works". Now I can see the little details that matter. My dog usually comes to me when I call her and when she does it's the case of "take the money and leave". I didn't know how to change it. Now I know I need to change the order for "snack and grab" so she won't run away after the snack. Thank so much for pointing out all the little details

[@hoendygaming3201]

I was watching the beginning of the video and laughed when coup didn’t come because it reminded me of trying to get my golden to listen and he jus won’t, then towards the end I was really impressed how coup ignored prince and came right to you.

[@alygrass5090]

I appreciate that it gets recognized with the go get method that it’s not all about treats and that your energy matters to show the dog you were not just giving them an option, but a command. I have many close friends and family that refuse to be stern in anyway with their dogs so the dogs end up not understanding the consequences of having to do the task whether they want to or not. Also that he showcased very well that it’s done without by over correcting or being angry.

[@missonmanband19]

Love it love it… the pop to the voice is so important. The que and the grab keeps them in focus to you and not run back to what they were doing. But the methodical “go get”no matter what will be my game changer. Can’t wait for all my snow and ice to melt to complete my go get “all day”.

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

Cooper wants your treats, that’s why he is following you around. Haha- very smart dog!

[@John_Freas]

Great video. I've seen you describe the process before but this is a great, concise lesson on how to put it all together. I love Cooper too. He's like "I'm not going anywhere except where this guy with the chicken is!" Recall? You have to get him to leave you first :D

[@QueenGatchell]

l trained dog I have and we are just beginning .this is all because I’ve been watching you for the six months I’ve had this dog. THANK YOUJoel, I’m a first time dog owner @ 63. I have a 8 month old Aussiedoodle… That does not step off of my curb , when I point my finger to the ground next to me “ cue “ He comes and sits right next to me . he 99.9% of the time comes to me when I call him. My neighbors are completely blown away about what a wel

[@piercemorgan9396]

Can’t say enough about Joel’s techniques and philosophy. My dog and me thank you

[@ceeess8471]

I watched this video and with in 15 minutes of doing what you showed us to do our stubborn Staffordshire bully comes right back now! Thank you so much brother and I will certainly be vouching for your teaching techniques! Again, Thank you Brother!!

[@cbr8206]

Just came upon this video and enjoyed it. Very informative. Interesting thing from my perspective, having spent the last three years training my dog from basic obedience to complex retrieving scenarios, is that in order to succeed in what you are teaching, dog owners must 1) have standards and expectations for their dog's behavior; 2) be willing to enforce those standards; and 3) take the time necessary to actually train the dog to do what you want your dog to do. Have the standard. Teach the standard. Enforce the standard. It takes time...a lot of time. How can you expect your dog to be disciplined if you don't have the discipline to train on a daily basis until the standard is truly engrained?

[@suemosher3869]

I really like the way you talk through everything step-by-step. I can understand and follow the process! Thanks!

[@hippopotatomoose]

The progress you made in such little time is impressive! I'll be using these techniques with my 4 month old Dobie. Thanks!!!

[@darlenelarochelle4011]

Doberman so easy to train. I loved mine. They were so smart. Keep watching this guy and you will have a great dog.

[@maryreinhardt8661]

Thank you for this! My 16 month old pup was dismissed from PetCo's obedience class in Albuquerque because the trainer decided he was untrainable. This video is fantastic, because you show training the skill to a pup who has not learned it perfectly. I did my first training session with my pup about a half an hour ago and it worked. We will keep practicing it. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@mssdn8976]

That says much more about the trainer than your dog

[@Because_Reasons]

This is SOLID advice. More people need to hear it.

[@heatherkolm2675]

I'm going to be honest.ive always trained dogs well. No fails.UNTIL,I got Rusty a pure 80 lbs airedale.hes very well behaved but I swear gets like hypnotized with the smell and need to hunt.and after 1 year.I don't trust him to pick me over a squirrel.But he does pray before his meals.lol I appreciate your passion.its important to have people like you. Untrained dogs end up in shelters. Thank You

[@ayanonight7700]

I love Cooper, he reminds me of a friends dog. All he can think of is: "Where my treat at?!" 🤣

[@SuperPyro]

The hand down trick is what finally got it to my husky. Thank you for this video. Paired with an e-collar his recall is getting so much better!

[@borg_wow]

Saw this video and immediately put it to use in my daily training sessions with our Husky pup. Had a bit more success even with wife eating lunch nearby. He would still go sit by mom and not come but, perseverance and consistency is key.

[@edwardd9660]

Struggling with my shepsky they are so stubborn

[@Jaisha26]

How is it going now? I've how a husky and she's crazy stubborn.😒

[@ncanellos]

We just rescued a Great Pyrenees mountain dog from a kill shelter in Maryland. He's 9 months old has resources aggression, and runs off all the time . I'm impressed with this gentleman, he has good advice

[@lajuanaraye]

You should research them. They are not mountain dogs, they are herd dogs. I had a breeding pair and raised their puppies for years. They are supposed to be with a herd. They are placed with that herd as babies and they grow up with that herd. They patrol a very large area every morning and night. Patrolling is in their blood. They need so much room to roam. Ours covered a 3-5 mile radius every single day. They kept all our neighbors farm animals safe from predators. They are gentle giants who love all people and baby animals but they will kill a predator in nothing flat. If you do not have the room for him/her to roam and patrol then you would be a great pet owner if you relocated your dog to a farm with exactly what your dog needs. They have no place in any town and you will never have successful recall because of what they are bred to do.

[@aliekatsmom]

​@@lajuanaraye they are working dogs. Its in the blood. Your so right.

[@LemonPuf]

This has got my dog to 💯 % recall - she was good but years ago I was told not to praise or encourage them until they got to you. That extra encouragement and hand out took recall to 100!

[@willreidy5851]

Hiya, I watched your video this morning and then immediately took my 3 year-old lab out to train her: it worked brilliantly, thank you! My dog follows my wife's commands to a tee but not mine but I was amazed at how quickly she responded to the training, even around other dogs. Brilliant, thanks mate.

[@susanlippy1009]

Lol. I got lazy about my recall and created a monster🤣. When I was forced to walk across snow in slippers to get my girl to come in at midnight I had to say bad owner🤣. Thanks for the refresher and reminder that I do need to use my hand cue as well. Rottweilers are famous for getting independent when we get lazy. She has my number and now I must remind her what's expected.

[@asp1213]

I have done the same thing, slippers and snow, silently cursing the go get method and the consistency it needs!

[@susanlippy1009]

@@asp1213 yep. I know it's my fault for letting things go as time passes. She is 3 and went from always coming to giving me a teenager blank stare🤣. Now I have to get back on track and let her know momma expects her to listen no matter how much of a big girl she thinks she is 🤣

[@User7688.--_]

Thank you Susan Lippy and asp1213- ”...I was forced to walk across snow in slippers to get my girl…” “…silently cursing the go get method.” First morning cup of coffee, watching Joel’s videos, your comments made me laugh out loud. It’s going to be a great day! 🌟

[@AriaIndy]

This helped me so much for my poodle mix who comes but not always consistently! She responded really well to this

[@leodegas7731]

My recall for my dobbies when they used to chase rabbits in the desert was , I whistled to get their attention, then do a hand signal over the top of my head like "round up" and meet me here and they came to a left side heel. I never used treats in the day just praise and a long 20' leash. They listened probably because I had the dogs since puppyhood. I learned from books in the 80s. ✌️😊 Edit. I like learning new things so this looks great also. ✌️

[@joanneg7646]

I had a shepherd male not neutered didn't matter where , how far, or what he was doing or playing with.. could be off in a field..I called that dog came right to me instantly too.. best dog ever

[@Di4knight]

This is really awesome … I have taught my dog an emergency come with a hunting whistle and treated with a piece of a hot dog. Never failed yet … 2.5 yr old. But now I also want to do this in case I don’t have whistle with me, or as you said graduate to no treats then I can rest assured she will come w/o whistle or treat . Thanks a bunch. Oh by the way, I used your loose leash method on my dog at a training lesson. Another trainer who was training her dog in class with us came to me and asked how I learned to do that. She was impressed with my results and of course I told her all about you 🤗

[@lesleywild8706]

I soon found that huskies especially seem not to listen at all unless your recall endorses the high-pitched offer of its favourite treat! They can also be way across the other side of the field socialising whilst you are trying to retrieve them as they are very independent and don't stay and follow you around playing with a ball like most breeds? So we walked one off the lead and one on - they do like to stay together!
