Guests Coming Over - Never Pay A Trainer Again

Joel Beckman goes through step by step instructions for having a calm experience when guests come over to your home.

Can you do a follow up video with a dog that isn't so calm?

[pangearising]

I really love Beckman's direct teaching style and what a gorgeous family!!!

one of the biggest mistakes I made with a past dog was to not do this. It got so bad I would have to isolate my dog ina room alone when guests came over for safety. Now I know better and learned from this mistake. I love the bed method and love the way you present it.

Great idea to practice with a family member, this really worked.

My pup can 'place' but she does JUMP & acts crazy when released. I'm headed to the 'no jumping' video!

We had a neighbor come to door and inside. Everything went beautifully. These tools and your instruction is changing our lives! We’ve utilized barking at window, door method, walking with head halter, and recall “go get method”
ALL are exceptional methods with results. Many thanks!🙏

Interesting to watch, my puppy Welsh springer spaniel is 3 months now, lots of learning ahead for the whole family. What a sweet family you've got! Greetings from Sweden 🫐

Thank you for your videos, Joel!! Your instruction has helped us and our dog immensely! We did the exercises in this particular video for barking at guests. We have a 3yr old, 80# mixed breed. Last night when we got to point of ringing doorbell, our dog went nuts barking loudly and continuously (as he does) but he did go to his place with continued direction. (No one at door yet) it was hard for him to calm down. He continued barking and growling. When he sat and calmed a bit I went to get a carrot, he stayed and calmed down and quiet, then I gave him the carrot still in his place. Tonight we did the exercise again and he was so much better 😲. Progress not perfection. But an interesting part for me is that I ignored his barking in place this time as long as he didn’t get off the pet cot, and he stopped barking more quickly. Just diffused on his own. I only cared about him staying. (I thought about this from your video with Aussie Blaze on leash reactivity - to let him “get it out a little”.) So, I am learning and my dog Happy is learning and I am simply and gratefully amazed. We also added talking to my husband thru door and he is less and less reactive. We will keep practicing. Sincerely, Thank you!! ❤️
And for other owners- this is working! Just practice and give your dog a chance to figure it out with your direction. All the best to you!!
It CAN get better -Really! 👍

Sweet family! Luv the training tips, thank you!

I don't have a gig. I watch these videos to learn how to deal with other people's out-of-control dogs. From my observation, most dogs do exactly as they please and believe that their owners yelling, "No!" over and over is just a normal part of the soundscape.

[drogon]

That's awesome! I'm definitely going to start trying this.

[tash]

Perfect video....shall be working on this for sure!!!!

[loganhill]

Love this! Am gonna work with my dog on this one

[georgejensen]

Dude this would have taken an hour or three with my trainer! Thank you!

[KingsMom]

When is it ok to release the dog? I've started using this method with my dog. Sometimes I can read that she's super excited and not under control even though she's still on the bed. Is it ok for me to keep my dog on the bed for 5 or 10 minutes while she calms down and I talk to my guest?

[andreameyer]

Which bed is that? Exactly what I am looking for!

[robinrutherfordcost]

Ginger did great even when you said ok multiple times speaking in general, not directly to Ginger as her release word. She only got up one time when she heard ok. This is why I teach a different release word to my students. Even my hard core obedience people have switched it to okie dokie - you're only saying that to the dog, not to people in every day conversation.

I used to get frustrated with this guy but I was struggling so every dog trainer was my enemy .

I've watched nothing but balanced dog trainers and then I started watching forced free dog trainers it wasn't helping.

I kinda take a little bit from what I have learnt and just keep on going and it's paying off but I always watch this trainer because he really explains things and I need that and I enjoy seeing his methods.

Consistent and trying to help people understand.
