Training a dog to not be reactive on leash

[@SirGeorge2020]

I have been working on all this stuff with my two year old border collie, in and out the pad, for about four days now. It's fantastic how effective it is. He's already miles ahead. Such a quick learner. Thanks, mate. I owe you a beer.

[@victorperdue7217]

I’m working with my 1 year old border collie. He’s so aware and at attention that it causes bad habits like laser focus staring at dogs and some people. I also want him to be a dog park dog but he can be puppy aggressive when a puppy runs up to say hello to me. I don’t know what to do with it

This is what it is all about. A different approach than most trainers out there, and it works. It is necessary to see results in videos and every time, this channel shows the progress and explains everything in such a clear, concise way.

Dear mr. Beckman, my husband and I want to thank you so much for sharing your training techniques for loose leash walking. Finally we have a great result in no time at all. Amazing, after a number of courses and trainings with very little progress. Now it is fun to go on a walk with out 2 rescues. Cannot thank you enough !! Martin & Imke

Hi Joel, just wanted to let you know that i've discovered your youtube channel last Monday, and since then, i watched all your video (twice). We have a Border Collie that is anxious, impulsive and reactive when seeing other dogs, humans and also when humans approach us and talk to us. I've started to use multiple of your methods (Ex: setting the tone of the walk at the door, correcting bad behaviour by pulling leash backwards, no touching during walk or anxious/fearful moment, proofing the knock it off / leave it / Come). I can already see a huge improvement (feeling that we are finally on the same page, well that he's on mine). Thanks a lot for all that knowledge and pleaase keep sharing this awesome information. Not only you make our lives much easier, but you also impress our neighbours. Cheers!

Excellent video. So helpful as we have two German Shepherds who have been trained when they were young but now that they are adults our discipline had slipped and they pretty much ruled the roost and the leash pulling and lunging at times toward other dogs is of course stressful they are big strong dogs - mainly our female Nikita incidentally, but she has changed so quickly over this past week alone, and our boy Ronin from using your methods!

[@drewd2]

It's so cool to see. I totally believe that dog is reactive to cars and dogs because you could see his whole posture change, but as you said, he was checking in with you which kind of broke up his focus. It's also amazing to see when you show what not to do like petting the dog a ton you can instantly see the dog get a little crazy. Or, in other videos when you hold the leash tight you see the dog stiffen up.

[@davidr9876]

I've been using this method when walking through the mall with my 4 year old niece. It works! A lot of people make comments, not all of them nice, but I explain to them that it's the most effective way. They say it's cruel but it's a lot better than the shock collar.

We are grandparents to a 2 yr. old mini aussie that we offered to "co parent". in order to save the dogs life. My daughter-in-law said "either the dog goes or I go". After just one month of consistent exercise and training from your videos he is 95% improved! Still aggressive when a stranger comes to the house, but i know we'll improve that with time and consistency. Thank you so much for posting videos that give all the training information rather than partial information with a lead-in to an online course. I have no problem buying an online course but you don't offer any! Hence I'd like to send some money for the value you've provided. You are changing the dog world!

Interesting, at around 9 mins the dog goes from fight to flight when he sees the other dog. He didn’t know what to do now that he wasn’t reacting to the other dog, so fear set in, but over time that will be replaced by a very relaxed behaviour (fight > flight > relax). Awesome videos :)

I love your videos! I can’t thank you enough! I will apply this right away. Now, when I walk my dog, I let him smell everything he wants, as long as he’s not pulling on leash, but that means he goes from side to side and does his thing. He loves to smell and I feel like it satisfies him and his curiosity as well as tire him out more. I would be sad to take that away. What do you suggest?

[@neuromancer5661]

He uses flat collars, but if you are going to do strong corrections like this instead of a quick pop, I'd recommend a wide (1.5 inch for 50lb & up dog) collar. I'd recommend a tactical collar because they are super strong (less likely to come off), have a quick realease mechanism, and distribute the pressure of the correction over a larger portion of their neck.

New subscriber! I’ve a question on this though, is a correction suitable for an anxious dog that sometimes has fear based on leash aggression or are you just adding to the stimulus? To me my dog either looks fearful of bigger dogs and barks or seems to see smaller dogs as pray (ears perk up and starts fixating). I’ve tried to use positive re-enforcement and threshold for fear based triggers and corrections when she looks like she is stalking, would you say that’s the correct method?

[@discipleoferis549]

I'm guessing you're having this problem while walking your dog? If not, the following advice is irrelevant (not that you should listen anyway. I'm not a professional). I'm not an expert or anything, but I imagine you need to work on keeping the dog with you and "checking in" on a regular basis *before* you expose them to the triggering stimulus. And as soon as the dog *sees* the stimulus you need to be testing him, not waiting for him to lunge. So like if the other dog is 50 feet away and your dog notices them, you should be testing to make sure he's paying attention to you and following you rather than doing his own thing. Don't wait until the other dog gets close. Your dog should be with you at 50 feet. At 40 feet. At 30 feet. At 20 feet. And finally at 10 feet. If you don't test him, you might've lost him at 50 feet and never noticed, and then when he finally lunges at 10 feet you'll wonder why he misbehaved all of the sudden. Well he probably started misbehaving long before the lunge, but you didn't test him. I can only really offer general advice and, again, I am not a professional trainer, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

My young Doberman cross (he’s a rescue from the SPCA) is reactive to other dogs - mostly to other dogs either on leads or from behind their gates. I’ve hired a trainer to help me but his methods are harsh - using a choke collar - which I really detest. I’m trying to use your methods with a flat collar - I’ve seem much improvement with Gucci but he’s still reactive to other dogs. Do I keep persevering? I take him out when there is minimal chance of seeing other dogs and now he walks past houses where there are confronting dogs - unless they are up and barking. Any advise?

Also, the 'trainer' never once told the dog to heel so how is the dog supposed to know to stay by his side? Does the dog even know heel? Also the so called trainer did was use adverse means to scare the dog. Watch the behavior of the dog - did you ever once see the dog being reactive? He didn't even make a sound.

Sounds like I have to get ahead of it much sooner with the leaving me. You said you couldn’t control him on the first walk, but this walked was great!

[@tonystark9576]

I also like Victoria Stilwell's method which is very similar but it make the dog use their brain to work out how they get what they want. Dog pulls you call or use a command then turn around and bring them the other way and keep doing it until they get calm enough to approach/get close enough to other dog friendly like. The better the dog acts the closer he gets to the other and if they misbehave turn and keep going until they get close enough for a short sniff then back off a foot or so. Not a dog trainer but I will be soon and I am educated in the topic, Hope I helped!

Just remember, the walk starts in your living room. You’ve got to get control there and the walk doesn’t proceed unless the dogs proven it can listen in the house the at the door, the. Right outside the house

My dog pulls the second we get out of the door and never stops

My mind is blown!

[@shaneoshea6216]

A dog I'm trying to help just ignores corrections, what can I do please? It's a german shepherd who was bit as a pup and now it aggressive to other dogs. I'm trying but nothings working for me. I've tried the walking up and down and trying to get her to follow me but she's always in her own mind even if I give her a small tap, if she's focused she just will not follow or pay attention to me. It's not my dog, it's my sisters but she's scared of taking her out now incase something happens. I've got the dog to stop pulling, or at least lowered how often she tries to pull but she just will not tolerate people or dogs.

Does this work with puppies?

Can you please make a video about dog to dog resource guarding?

[@tonystark9576]

Same way you would desensitize your dog to resource guarding against you, Doberman Planet has great videos on it usually involves desensitization of your hand and petting. I can go further in depth if you can't find the source or one that helps. Also a great source is Victoria Stilwell, Hope I helped!
