  • How to train an aggressive dog for reality as they are trying to attack people is something we work with a lot at the Upstate Canine Academy. This is a dog who is very fearful and unfortunately is taking her fear and unleashing it on people she doesn't know. Tom works with her and her owner to overcome these issues so they can live a less stressed life!

      THANK YOU TOM DAVIS for doing what you do and for providing your help and your time for people who absolutely L O V E their dogs. This particular video is extremely helpful and important especially for people similar to my husband and me and in our case, our GSD rescue. We’ve had GSDs before and 3 out of 4 of our dogs were rescues. But our current GSD is the polar opposite of all of the dogs we’ve had, our neighbors have ever had, our relatives have ever had. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN NOR HAD any dog like him!!
      I don’t know what happened to him before he came into our lives! But I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t so good!
      I think he has a brain tumor and/or a couple other things wrong with him!! I love this handsome 2 year old doggo with all of my heart & so does my husband. We desperately need more professional dog training for him or he desperately needs it ASAP!
      Because he is getting …. to the point where we will have to make an unfathomable decision and I cannot even think about it!! I CANNOT believe that those words just came out of my mouth!! PLEASE HELP!! Please???

    As an owner, handler, and trainer, I can't tell you how happy this owner makes me watching this video. Knew there was a problem she could not manage on her own and she LISTENED to the trainer, asked a TON of questions, and took direction really well. I can't tell you how many owners hear what a trainer is saying but don't ask for clarification if they don't understand. She wants to understand. Getting clarification on heel vs leave it, and when and why to use which command was a total breakthrough and was a pivotal moment in this retrain journey. I would love to see a follow-up on these two.

      The key is to never accept any behavior you don't want. If you take charge than the dog doesn't feel the need to. It's ok to punish the dog. Sometimes punishment can just be ignoring the dog. Nothing physical. Or a pop with a leash and collar. This tells them you are in charge now. And once you get that across you barely have to do it. But the key is to stop bad behaviors before they happen. You can tell when your dog is about to go off. And start correcting before they act bad. G

    Big powerful dogs can be beyond scary. This owner clearly loves her dog very much and wants to do whatever it takes to get to where they both need to be (to successfully function in society). Good on her for taking on the necessary steps and good job Tom for your training methods. It’s awesome to watch you “figure out the dogs as individuals” and try what you think will work best for them rather than try and apply your methods as a blanket training across the board. Keep up the good work!

    Love the way you show owner learning more than you training dog. I think we need videos with both. It's nice to know how to do it well which you make it look easy, since you're so experienced. But it's also important for us to see the process of owner learning and making mistakes, and I loved how this video was almost 100% her doing the retraining of Nala. They are in good hands and can't wait to see even more progress. I've got a fear reactive heeler mix rescue, also named Nala, that came to me about three weeks into binging your channel last fall, so helpful as we're trying to learn together. She that other dogs aren't a threat. I the psychology of dogs abs her breeds. This channel has been a live saver,as I gained so much wisdom and insight and confidence which was essential to her success from moment one. Tho tbh she had little that needed worked on, as it's obvious she's had training in some of the basics in her past. But I would have "ruined her" was it not for all I've gained in understanding the basics humans need to be successful owners. Thank you so much. And keep up the good work and growing in your tweaks to the way you teach/produce content.

    I love this video. I love his training style too. I’m practically new here to this guys channel. I’m used to watching Cesar Millian and his shows like the dog whisperer. I’ve learned everything on how to train a dog and how to handle them and how you yourself need to check on your feelings yourself because what you feel gets transferred to the dog cuz they can feel that. I learned all that from watching his shows and also I volunteered and worked for a dog training business for a while and I switched careers to being a vet technician and then I left that job and I’m doing something else but point is that all I’ve learned everyone says exactly the same thing. The only difference is the correction. When you correct a dog for there bad behavior what Cesar Millain does is he uses his two fingers to poke the side of the dogs belly. It would feel like if someone is poking you on the side of your belly and that snaps the dog out of the bad behavior. What this guy is doing and saying instead of of the poking of the side of the dog is use that prong collar and/or that e-collar. They are two different types of correction styles for bad behavior and they both do they same: snap the dog out of the bad behavior and they are both humane. I’m officially now a subscriber.
