😶😤🤩🤟🤟🤟🤟👍.Aggression tests your love ,commitment and value of bond with 🐕. The willingness and patience to do him good even when harmed in the process. It may be a minor scratch 🤔 to stitches and fracture scenarios. If you think you are a dog trainer and not faced 😉 an aggressive dog you may still be an apprentice in the industry. No joke.
I assume you're right about Cesar being the GOAT. He is obviously has an incredibly “intuitive” connection to the dogs, and he deals with really tough cases. But… I had to stop watching his show because of all the tinkling piano and cheesy, weepy human redemption. It's just not my kind of entertainment. Again, mad respect for Cesar. I even read his memoir one day while standing in the bookstore — very fascinating.
100% agree on the goat .. well done. you sir are definitely on the way!
Would be much better if you haven’t put your on that list, 😕😕
You're the GOAT!!!! Get back on that list!
This whole video is the epitome of humble bragging. I hate when Joel does this kinda stuff. So sensational and eyeroll inducing.
if you ask Cesar, Daddy is GOAT
Tyler Muto?
Is this trol video or something?
The real 🐐 is not mentioned on the list, Haz Othman from shieldk9!
Look, you'd put him in the young category, but Tom Davis definitely should have made this list and surely up on the pedestal. Thanks to yourself, tom and cesar.. ive watched and gathered a lot of great ways to communicate and work with the dogs in my life over the years. I just wish i had one of you 3 here in Australia to work with my pitbull that has tremendous fear of the world, with a hint of committed aggression.. i feel she'd be more than the usual work you guys get. But all in all, thank you for all the knowledge you guys relay to us!!
Cesar is great! But Roger Cabral and you are both right there. I watch all of you. I have Mali’s, and Mali X’s and constantly try to learn better ways to make them as great as they can be! Don’t sell yourself short!
He has his style you have yours – room enough for two and many many more. I like your style of movements that don't allow the dog to steal the spot light and your casual style but consistent style. Ceasar works with more aggressive dogs that ought to be put down but eh maybe he can turn that around. Most of us have everyday dogs or are thinking of getting just a nice normal none aggressive dogs not viscous crazy dogs.
The best? Most are in the Czeck Republic. If a trainer hasn't trained vrery agressive dogs up to K9 that's a red flag. When my Marine son got back from war and I moved back from NJ we had a Euro Sheppard ans Dobe. We did most but not all training. I've noticed the stuff we used 16 years ago is the same as Beckman. Marine training has some ingrained benefits.
Hahaha, a “dog trainer” called a German Shepherd Dog a thoroughbred dog. Thats funny! I guess u didn't see Cesar Milan compilation of kicking dogs in the groin with the tip of his right foot to get their attention, instead of teaching the heel! None of his clients get obedience training. Just made up crap! That video got taken down within a few months. U said your worst bite was from a golden retriever lol! Thats funny too, but at least ur honest about it. Goldens can be dog aggressive but seldom people agressive. But when you asked if the dog showed remorse? Really? I guess Dog Training is going down the tubes! Unbelievable. A Trainer with 17 years of experience doesn't know what a purebred dog is and calls it a thoroughbred. Hopefully u stop getting paid for learning these nutty methods through trial and error using clients dogs as guinea pigs! Hopefully dog training regulations and trainers with 40 years of actual training experience can put an end to all the madness! Making a deal with Hollywood is not a way for dog owners to learn anything! Neither are these videos!
IN TAROT I BELIVE THE GOAT IS THE DEVIL 👿SORRY I DIDNT KNOW IT MEANT GREATEST OF ALL TIME. LOL 😂
I also think Tom Davis is incredible
Unfortunately for Cesar he has to work with the contraints of cable TV, weve seen what the pet babying crowd tried to do to him for using tougher methods, I think its why its hard for him to actually show thing he does.
It's you and Cesar for me. I love what both of you have done. Similar, but slightly different. Amazing trainers!
I used to follow Zak George because he can train his border collies to do unthinkable stuff, the guy is a genius. But he has no idea about dog psychology. I saw him once trying to train a dog that was barking at him warning him not to get close and he made intense eye contact while throwing treats at it. The dog ignored the treats and kept bark-warning him to stay away. Quite clueless, he had to leave it.
I agree Cesar is the greatest. He has amazing talent, he is very creative, he is fearless and he has great charisma.The main flaw Cesar has is his waffle terms. He has written so many books but he's hard to follow. He does say the correct things, but clueless people like myself at the beginning have no idea what he's talking about. He needs to explain things better in my opinion. I had to binge-watch 100+ episodes to finally understand what he was all about and to correctly predict what the issue was and the potential approach he would use.Love the guy. Thanks for teaching a training style similar to Cesar's.
Also, Cesar says aggression is easy. He says aggressive dogs are easy to change because they want to interact with you, so you can correct them.The harder ones for him are the scared ones. They run away from you, they are traumatized, they want nothing to do with the world and he finds those cases very slow to fix. You need a lot of patience, a lot of repetitions, it is a harder, slower process in general.
Robert Cabral is *excellent*.
Do you know The Dog Daddy? He has a YT channel and he works primarily with aggressive dogs.
i know, it's a long time ago, but… i have had added “Brandon McMillan” to this list, he works with shelter dogs, to give them a better life ♥♥ but i do respect you und your content and the way you train these dogs ..and a huge shoutout to prince as well, he's doing a great job 😉 just like u, joel! much love and respect frome germany 🙂
One of the biggest things in my mind contributing to someone's greatness in dog training are the trainers who can handle the hardest cases…I don't know these names….but I do know of u and cesar…and you 2 are awesome
And what about Jackson Galaxy? 😂I mean he deals with cats,but aren't cats even harder to be dealt with? 😂
This is 9 months late but have you seen Upstate canine academy???
The knowledge I got from Cesar Milan made it possible for me to rescue a 2 year old Doberman who had been passed around between owners….bad health, bad genetics, bad behaviors etc. Because of Milan, I felt confident we could turn her life around. We did. I give credit to Cesar….but I enjoy watching your channel. I think it's a great commonality that you both rely on your 4 footed helper-trainer when you need to…for that you both have a place in my heart.
👍💚🫂🐕
My experience with an all positive trainer: 20 dogs and owners in a room that were all barking and being obnoxious and the trainer would say, “You didn't bring enough treats!” Their understanding of operant conditioning was not based on science, rather it was based on their own emotional need and shoveling a shit ton of treats at a dog, who would barf them up in the car!
PLEASE CHECK OUT TOM FROM UPSTATE CANINE ACADEMY. YOU WILL LOVE HIM!!!
Can't agree with Cesar at the top. He forces his own dominance over dogs and pushes them and sometimes floods them. I think he's lacking in so many ways. Anyone that has training experience and has been around aggressive/resource guarding/reactive dogs can see the writing on the wall. He pushes dogs too far. I don't care to watch him at all. Not saying he doesn't have some good training ideas, but he is a bit too wrapped up in his Ego and feels he needs to win. That video when he seriously gets bit by that dog, was sooo predictable it was painful to watch. One of my favorite trainers to watch is Tom Davis, Upstate Canine Academy. He is so good at explaining the how's and the why's of dog behavior and is not so full of himself to reach out to other trainers for help and to do self assessment to get better at training dogs. (Much like I think you do). I have watched several of your videos because I myself own Dobermans and was curious. I almost stopped watching when I found that you were using Prince with that huge Weimaraner x that was dog aggressive. I'm glad I decided to watch more of your videos and methods. I sometimes worry about Prince's mental state, always being put in the position that he is. That being said, I have learned quite a lot by watching the dogs interact in your videos and your commentary and explanations. From your list, I would have to say that you would be at the top, along with Victoria Stilwell (she just doesn't have as good of methods when training aggressive dogs). Karen Pryor of course has a lot of great training methodology that cannot be overlooked. And probably showing my lack of knowledge in this area, I do not know the other trainers mentioned on your list. I do appreciate all of your work and videos in order to help the average dog owner that might be struggling with all of the issues you tackle. It can at least give them some tools to try and have an obedient dog even if they don't have the resources to go to a trainer.
I've watched many of your programs … And i don't even got a dog 😆
wtf is goat?
Stonie Dennis and Robert Cabral need to be on here as well!
What I don’t like about Cesar Milan is he takes too much risk with the safety of the dogs. That’s why I like you better. You are not reckless. I get upset when I watch CM training. I would not let him train my dogs, but I’d be comfortable with you.
Amen for Man and beast Millan is GOAT.
You're an excellen dog behavioral trainer. Thanks for teaching us. 😊
What is your opinion about Dog Daddy? I heard your points, so he is not a goat (he is too young), but I am working with my dog according to his knowledge and I’ve got a good response from my dog.
What about Will Atherton? I love both of you guys, he is in the UK and super knowledgeable.
my dog thinks im the best trainer
I am a big fan of Chadde at the 508th. I have not seen him work on problem dogs obviously, but his training methods result in very well socialized and disciplined Shepherds and Bulldogs.
Love Cesar Milan
I learned from Cesar Milan and was able to trust his instructions and see total results in my own Dogs. I have experienced the same great results with you. I feel we are fortunate to have Two GOATS. A Jr. and Sr. Chronologically.
oh man killer whale trainer? thats gross glad you stopped doing that.
I guess you missed Tom Davis from Upstate canine academy, check his channel. He is really amazing and works aggressive dogs too. Also where is Michael Ellis? Awesome trainer. You are great man. Your channel is on my top list. Thanks a lot for telling the world dominance IS a thing.
the free market has spoken? … is it the best businessman or the best trainer? I knew it was gonna be ridiculous but damn… get your shit together dude.
AgreedAugusto, ( the Dog Daddy) is good tooMuch younger than Ceaser though
The GOAT is Billy L. Smith Sr.
Killerwale Training? Ok.. This is a no go !
Caeser, Robert Cabral, yourself. Also I learned a lot of basics via Zak George
tom davidson is not on your list so this is not accurate
To be honest Ceasar is the first dog tainer I ever hear of. the dog whisperer on tv. before then, never knew it existed (I was really young then, so I pretty much grew up with him. and south park. and sabrina the teenage witch XD)
CESAR MILANO THE GOAT. !!!!
Agree 100%!! Cesar is tops! I’m no trainer and don’t try to be but I live in Thailand and there are a ton of aggressive street dogs. I work in the rural villages and the kids are terrified of the street dogs. I use the techniques and teach the kids I’ve learned watching Cesar and reading his book and they never mess with me or my kids. I’m learning so much from you as well! You put it in much more comprehendible terms. I like your dogs teaching dogs technique as well. Cesar does this but not on equal footing with the other techniques like you do.
this is very objective list, well done.
Prince is the Real Goat, Majestic like a lion
Just started binge watching your youtube channel. I really like your videos. I'm a big fan of CM too. Kinda got the impression that you're more focused on helping the owner to make them realise what'll trigger their dog and maybe avoid it? Where CM triggers the dog to get it used to all kinds of situations to avoid getting euthanized in a society where a lot of people don't know how to properly handle a dog. Maybe you'll do it too and i just didn't see it now from the videos I've watched.
Dog Daddy on YouTube is the GOAT. It can’t be you. You get pissed at owners whose dogs are aggressive. Dog Daddy takes on the worst of dogs.
Totally disagree with Ceasar Milan being on list, let alone #1. I cannot condone a trainer who deliberately set a golden up to fail and got bit in process. I'm not a trainer other than my own dogs and what I've learned from a trainer, and watching videos, but I knew that dog was set up. Terrible. Why did he do it? Jmho to boost ratings for his TV show, and himself as a trainer. Sorry, not sorry. Can't stand him.
Cesar Millan is best
I'm putting Joel back on the list 🥸🤓💯🙌
This is obvs my opinion but my opinion is CORRECT. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. LOVE THAT.
I love Ceaser ❤️ 😍 💖
you should take a look at 1st508th airborne
Gary Wilks should immediately be taken of this list. Looked him up after this video and OMG highly disturbing.
Robert cabral is very good
They say Ceasers methods are against al sientific Evidenz. And the Alpha Theorie is rebuked…?
You do an amazing job. But Cesar Millan is undefeated and undisputed greatest of all time.
TV is so passe. Upstate Academy (no bad dog) and Mike Ritland.
Love that you give the clicker-positive-training crap the run down it deserves. All the reasons i have been unwelcome to take my dogs to any dog training groups. And what is it with the fad of putting your dog in a cage at the dog ground? Aren’t these dogs trust worthy on leash? Hullo from Western Australia
Victoria Stillwell videos are sooo fascinating to watch because they really lay things out where you see the connection between what the OWNERS are doing wrong and thus what behaviour occurs in the dog.Jas was a gamechanger for me as well for concepts like what motivates dogs, that they're looking for 'jobs', and that you need to establish yourself as a leader.My personal experience before I got my first dog(who I had since he was a puppy) is that I needed to consume information the way Victoria + Jas was laying it out. They're perfect for 'beginners' in that sense.When you sort of get to the 'intermediate' stage of understanding dogs, it's where ppl like you and Cesar really supplement the information in the way you need to consume it. You essentially level up ones understanding of dog psychology.
Doctor Oz has a TV show, I wouldn't take medical advice from him. Being a popular entertainer doesn't mean that someone is the best in thier field. Cesar is definitely not the best dog trainer.
Thank you for your content 🙂 And I am happy, that you choose Cesar Milan. I am pretty sure, that I watched every episode of his old content. So many animal rights activists say, that he abuses dogs, but I never once could see abuse of any kind and I learned so much from him (and of course from you). I am – please don't throw dog poop at me – still supportive of PETA, who are absolutely against CM, but in the last years I came to the conclusion, that I better use my money supporting a local pet shelter and not PETA, because of many, many reasons. I always felt a kind of doubt, when they (PETA) talk bad about CM, and I was not able to connect their views with the ones, that I whitnessed on TV. (I hope my english is good enought – it's not my first language) CM, in my opinion, has always reacted the way that was necessary and never 'over the top' or abusive. I think most of the problem is, that many 'kind-lovely-hearted' people (often women) think, that someone can change a dangerous behavior of an animal only with kindness and love. Maybe this works with horses – because horses are prey animals – but not with 'predetors by nature plus pack animals' like dogs. Yes, our furry couch-plush-sweety-doggys often don't look like they are predetors, but if you go on a bike trip in Europe, for example in Romania or Bulgaria, and you are alone and a pack of wild dogs crosses your way – you are doomed. I heard lots of this storys and I think I saw some pretty frightening clips on YouTube too. So from this perspective, especially someone has an aggressive dog at home: Your kind heart is not needed (not at first. A kind heart for 'I want to help this dog' of course yes), but a deep understanding of the psychologie of a dog. And if you are the one on the bike in Romania … well, than you need strong legs and lots of luck, I think.
Cesar is so great at what hes doing that its sometimes misleading. Pls dont try what Cesar does to aggressive dogs if u didnt know dogs. Cesar could do what he does is because hes a master at reading dogs. Imho hes not the best at using the right methods/exercises straight away when he sees problematic dogs but his reading is superb. He has years n years of experience. I read 1 great quote that says,”to be a master at something u have to do that same thing over 10000 hours at least”
I'm a little iffy on Cesar Milan. Most of the stuff he does works, for him. But sometimes he messes up. Some things he's done may work for him but in my opinion some of the corrections are too rough. I haven't watched too much of his new shows, but I have seen him kick or shove dogs. Not like, leash correction or putting up a knee to deflect, actually kicking with a foot. Not hard, but kicking a dog even gently can make it super afraid of you. I dont fully agree with the showing dog who is boss thing, as in my opinion it leads to humans thinking their dog a genius, and that bad behavior is defiance and not just dogs knowing stuff immediately. Like, dogs don't know eating from the trash is wrong, (just an example) but if someone goes into it with a 'i need to be an authority' attitude they might punish a dog for (in the dogs mind) eating perfectly good food left out for him. I also don't agree with your placement of Victoria Stillwell. She has told owners of aggressive dogs that aggressive dogs will always be aggressive. That's not fair to anyone. I remember trying to train my dog not to lunge by distracting her, because that's what I thought would work XD
What about that (Lucky Dog trainer) he was raised in the circus and his Dad trained In circus you are wonderful. Donna Hill in Canada Service Dogs which I have for my life.Tam in Tex
You and Cesar are real world savers of aggressive dogs and their people. Victoria sends them to be euthanized.
Gary Wilks? Hitting a dog upside the head with a rolled up towel? How is that effective other than creating fear? I'm glad they've gone after that jerk! Victoria Stillwell has much more effective techniques and certainly doesn't shy away from aggressive dogs. If you have a TV show, there has to be editing: fact of life. Caesar is special in many ways: he clearly has a special connection with dogs in addition to effective training techniques. But Gary Wilks? YUCK.
100% agree! The problem I have with Victoria is she has been very vocally oppositional to “dominance' methods, (and specifically critical of Cesar) but if you watch her shows she uses many of the same methods! She just calls them by a different name as though it WAS something different in order to separate herself from “dominance training” and call it out as dangerous. She very loudly asserts that dominance methods wrongly done will make a dog worse, while carefully avoiding pointing out that ANY methods incorrectly practiced will make a dog worse. When I saw her do that it put me off her for good. You Rock!
Hi, I really like your method as I like the one used by Ceasar Milan for a long time. I always found natural to be nothing else than a pack leader with animals in general. As I love and own dogs, I'm interested in looking many behaviours face by guys like you. This list of people working with dogs has made me curious about the fact that you may not know about Gun's tv. It's a French YouTube channel. I'm from Quebec City (Canada) so I usually speak French. I'm not saying it could be a part of the list, but that it could be of some interest to you. Though, the fact that it's a channel where they speak French could be a problem… For the fact that it's real or not, I feel about the same confidence compared to you and Ceasar. I can't certify, but I trust it. By the way, they use a trained dog in a way that is a bit similar to what you do with Prince. So, that's the Youtube channel address : https://youtube.com/c/Gungunni
Cesar has a gift. I don’t care what the woke idiots say. He actually saves dogs lives.
Barbara Woodhouse, British lady dog trainer horse whisper from the 70is not frightened of any dog had a TV programme.
Yes i am whith you on that one
Would like to see something with both of you in it talking about what you both do, similarities, differences, stories, etc.. Would make for an interesting program, IMO.
Why didn’t Thomas Davis make the list?
I'm sorry…Cesar antagonized a dog into a corner and got mauled and claimed it was untrainable…off the list.
Beckmann definitely my number 2 and number 1 in my hearth 🙂
TOM DAVIS
Hi I just wanted to say how nice you are about all of the trainers even if you disagree with their methods. Great to see thanks.
How couod any of those crossed off folks even get on that list without so called “aggressive dogds trainings”. How can you even get famous doing only fri ndly dogs, that's bullshit!
Wilkes? Really? I didn't know him and in the first video I watch he hits a dog…
100% agree, Cesar is the king. Man is simply fantasticTo be 2nd or even on a list with this guy, shows how incredible you arePS you don’t know Barbara Woodhouse? Her catchphrase was “Waaaalkies!” 😂😂😂Watched her as a kid though and can’t tell you if the dogs were aggressive or not but we were big fans in my household
some people see CM or You and hear “dominance” or “leadership” & they still don't see there are nuances, that it is about being firm but fair (also effing patience) hence hearing “dominance” they go super sayan on their dogs, feeling justified jerking the leash and the dogs neck for all & every time, full force, regardless of size/age… I think that's what really positive reinforcement-ists are against /hope so/ since so far I was also “against” jerking the leash; my dad & the trainer told me I am too sensitive & too soft to our dog, all I wanted to avoid cruelty.. watching your videos i see now how it works, how it should have been & should be for my dad (who has no patience) & the “trainer” (who is enjoying waaay toooo much punching dogs on sessions) now I feel confident that we will make real progress soon with our mudi pup without shitty feelings or injuries ✌️🤟 (wish I could just erase the last 6 weks of “training” tho & go back a bit more in time, knowing the age appropriate things to do now.. )
