How to Fix a Dog's Aggressive Behavior Towards People - Intense & in-depth training session

[MichaelCaraway-lxvq]

Charlie is improving every day since this session. We are super thankful for your help Joel…! We needed you to show us the obvious. We watch your videos regularly but this session helped us tremendously!

Tough love is still love. A thousand corrections hurts less to do to your dog than the pain of seeing them get put down because they bit someone. Good on these owners!

[samstone]

I love how you can see the owner improving over the course of the video! You're not only a good teacher for dogs, but also for humans!!

That lady showing affection during the aggression is a fundamental reason why this dog is how it is.

“If you don’t have a video helping a dog like this you don’t get to have this conversation” lol well said

[Arlon]

I'm so glad to see you touch on the topic of the mom comforting the dog. Comforting your dog during or directly after an undesired behavior just reinforces that behavior. It's so difficult for people who don't train dogs to grasp that concept. Love your videos, Sir. I'm happy to say that you're one of the trainers/behaviorists that I watch to continue learning as a handler.

I love how Joel seems and sounds so serious and even a little grumpy, but he's actually super chill and sensitive to subtleties like energy and the unfathomables of relationship dynamics.

Honestly, more dogs are like this than owners want to admit. Usually people get them as cute pups and as they get older they become unruly and scary. they get rid of them instead of fixing the problem. Kudos to this owner for tackling the issue with joel (Mr. Wonderdog) by the way... when he snapped at Joel I almost tinkled my pants. Lol 😅

[pattkadrlikgutsche]

IMO this is the best video yet. You explained to everyone throughout the reasons behind what you're doing. My GSD same problem. These owners are awesome and thank you!

[thomasbaldina]

Damn, he’s so freaking good. He can actually understand the behavior while it’s forming in the dog’s mind by body language and changes in the breathing, eyes and ears, this guy knows his shit. And it’s how 99% of people need someone like him teaching them how to do it. It’s such a pleasure seeing him working with dogs. Keep going Joel! I love your videos and as soon as I’ll have a dog your lessons and what you’re teaching me will be absolutely astonishing!

I adopted a 4 yr old GSD. Male and neutronic. He had a bad life. He is 6 now. I am a 54 yr old lady and I DO respect love. Your video is spot on. My boy, Bruce now, has the life he deserves.We have come a long way. My 5th GSD in my lifetime. The energy I exude makes him relax. Joel you are amazing in what you do.

I almost think Mom needs to do this. He's clearly her dog. She needs to convey strength to him as well. Plus, there's got to be moments when Dad isn't around. She's got to demonstrate she's in charge too.

[barbarajean]

Joel, you are helping this dog and these people to avoid a tragedy or at least an inconvenience! Dogs can’t bite people who are being nice. It’s dangerous for the dog! Thank you for this lesson.

[ozdigg]

I don't have a dog Joel, but have been attacked and terrorised by dogs a few times over the past couple of years and have learned so much about voice control of dogs from you in your videos that I am able to quiet down most I come across. So, thank you. I am very grateful.

Great to see the owner’s improvement. His speed and intensity on the correction needed serious improvement, and he did seem to get better. If he keeps it up, the problem will improve. This dog needs hard core, black and white boundaries until he understands his place. Amazing job, Joel! Hopefully owners will keep up with it.

[markymark]

I can see the guy getting out of his comfort zone being the "mean" parent as you say. I think it takes a certain person or enough experience to just be inherently no-nonsense where the dogs (or kids) know you mean business, but also able to be sweet 95% of the time as you stated. Love the video

[secondstar]

Joel + team, this was INCREDIBLE, and so valuable! I'm so grateful to you and the owners for sharing. Definitely one of the better displays of intentional energy, making communication *crystal clear* for the dog. Bravo!

[christianphillips]

Watching you have to shake it out is so relatable. I started my training career in the Protection Dog sector. Watching you work with this dog brought me back to working with protection dogs whose owners don't keep up with the training. Or those super hard dogs that don't give a flying expletive about you. I can completely understand having to switch from being a tyrant to being benevolent in a split second. From a trainer/handler stand point, the decompression speed is so important. I hope that other trainers watching this see that. This video provides a great example of what it means to be a human who loves dogs but also having to relay a tough and "hardcore" message to a dog that is wired to fight back and fight through it. And that it is OKAY to do so. It saved that dog's life. Kudos to the owners and kudos to your staff.

10:57 This moment was key, I think. He growls and is hyperalert at Joel, then gets petted, reinforcing his alertness. When Joel moves, he lunges. This guy is all about his mum

[FAFOifYOUwantTObozo]

I love how you tell the other trainers that have a problem with your methods to post a video of themselves working with similar situations and THEN you can have a discussion. Way too many critics out there just talking trash without the capabilities to actually fix the problem using their methods.
