NO BAD DOG AMRY, DO YOUR THING LIKE AND COMMENT 👇🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Tom first of all can I just say I am in aww at how amazing you are at what you do for these dogs and there owners, my question is how do you find a good trainer or educator? I live in Scotland and have a one year old working cocker spaniel I lack in confidence when training mainly because I’m worried I’m doing it wrong and possible making things worse my boy is reactive and can sometimes show aggression,any advice would so much appreciated p.s your videos are amazing
How often do you get small dogs?
There is a young woman / was a young woman with a large black GS at my local walking spot. One day she was pulling into the carpark, me and my dog the only living things around, and all I could see was her dog barking madly between the seats at my dog. She reversed the car and pulled over down the road. I left my dog in the car and went to see if she ok. The side of her face was red and she said she feared he was going to take her ear off. We talked for a bit about training suggestions, but every time I saw her after that she was still being dragged around by her dog who was still wearing a harness. I haven't seen her for some weeks now. I hope she, or someone else, wasn't injured.
You are an amazing trainer.. the way you explain things you’re right on the money. Question:since that muzzle isn’t biteproof & she’s such a bite risk did you recommend like a FDT basket muzzle?
Anyone know where i can find this type of muzzle or name of it???
“If dogs can detect cancer and high blood pressure, they can detect when you’re stressed” THIS 👏🏼
Something I never put a lot of thought into. There are times when we are about to have company and we are cleaning or scrambling to get things in order. Our dog definitely notices the difference and seems to get tense herself. I probably need to be more cognizant of this.
@@patrickm7483 I've just recently talked to both a vet tech and a family member about dogs smelling changes in human body chemistry. We smell different, especially during heightened emotions. I know that my anxiety affected (especially) one of my prior dogs and certainly doesn't help my current dog, so I've already asked if we can do vet visits the way we have during the past year, and they were very receptive to the idea.
The weirdest thing for me is of I'm dealing with another person's dog or say a dog from a rescue that I'm transporting, I don't get the same anxiety. So my homework right now is taking the time to work through why that changed for me and how to get back to the way I was before, all so that I can be the great guardian my dog needs and deserves.
Dogs have the ability to detect Cortisol and Noradrenaline which are the stress hormones...
Every problem at the dog park starts with a clueless dog owner.)
Oh my God it's Linda I love your videos with Tucker
Props to the dog owner for taking Tom's criticism so well. It takes a strong person to do that.
Yes he was less diplomatic and quite forceful about it this time around - however truthful - so I was shocked that she sat and took it so well. Kudos to her.
@@ORSkie that tells you just how dangerous the situation truly is! Sometimes the truth hurts.
@@jaykneegarner2479 Definitely. I understand why he did so, but I'm just pleased that she took it so well.
I totally agree....props to the owner.
I appreciate how he is sharper or gentler he is depending on the sensitivity of the person. He tailors his guidance for their temperaments.
“Stop treating her like a human, treat her like the dog she is.” YESSSSS!!!!
That was good
And the truth
Yessssss!!!!!!
This is what I tell people I help as well! Animals love to be treated like animals. I always hated the saying “treat like an animal” as it implies harshness. When Tom just said it he basically said “have some respect for this animal by understanding that it is NOT HUMAN and doesn’t learn like that” good on you Tom
Agreed -
They do deserve the same rights as humans though.
This was one of the most brutally honest explanations of the problem I've ever heard from Tom, and it was fantastic. Owners who are open to criticism are the best
Thanks Mellissa :)
@@sandralancaster7193 ma'am. I don't think this is the right channel for you
..
@@sandralancaster7193 yes dogs need constant instruction to be happy and feel secure. they WANT to know what to do and if you don't give them that then that can cause many issues
I agree totally. Tom has really improved in the last 2 years in his ability to get the point across crisp and clear and to the point.
He absolutely on point in his view of the owner.
So excellent to hear.
Tom so many wordt stop please
I wish every dog owner would understand they need to train themselves first before getting a dog. It's not easy for most of us to not baby our dogs but we HAVE TO treat them as dogs and not babies, specially with a strong breed. Great to see your job, Tom.
THANK YOU!
Perfect!!!!! They are DOGS. not people.
bingo . body language. pack mentality . they are canines , not primates ..
I have a problem in my home with my dog he isn’t reactive towards other dogs and people but has no manners or boundaries, our leadership of him isn’t consistent between everyone I’m the only one who is willing to treat him as a dog and not baby him and when I try to say to my family we have to improve they take it as if I’m having a go at them, any tips
honestly they should just get a online pet instead lol
"If you love her, train her." Heard you loud and clear, Thanks Tom
Can’t wait to see this dog down the track! Just a quick psi, please don’t judge the current owner and say how bad of a dog owner they are in the comments, they are working with him and gone to him for a reason, no need to further express judgement that they already would get as a reactive dog owner
Hannah, This is a public forum where people give their input, good and bad.
@@juliajohnson5276 yeah but she's asking people not to share negative feedback since it serves no purpose
@@juliajohnson5276 very true :) can definitely give input without judgement same with sharing opinions without bringing someone down! Reactive dog owners face a lot of negative judgement, can’t wait to see his doggo in the future now that they know how to work through it
They took a step most owners wouldn’t..props to the owner to acknowledge her faults and take steps in order to fix herself and her dog !!!
I agree . He let her know she was wrong . But that doesn't make her a bad dog owner . That's like calling someone a bad parent because they made a mistake . A bad dog owner leaves their dog in a hot car , or on a chain in the yard all the time . Or abuses the animal or starves it . A bad dog owner does not take their dog to a probably very exspensive dog trainer and spend hours trying to save the dog and other people . A bad dog owner would just get rid of the dog or have it killed . People love to judge others when they are doing something not right in their lives . That's all it is .
As an owner, as much as it hurts to hear this. It’s so necessary. She needs to understand that it’s her issues that got her and her dog to you Tom. Hope she works on herself and her dog’s relationship. 💔
That dog is seriously out of control........hope she can turn it around.
Thank you Doris!
@@juliajohnson5276 No , the owner has no leadership skills. That dog learned her behavior because the owner has a breed she doesn’t understand
I didn’t blink for almost 17mins. That was one intense session. Thanks for exposing the potential of that beautiful, smart GSD.
Thanks for watching all of it!
Ong
Tom, that explanation of a kid running into the street and being hauled back before a vehicle strikes was brilliant! Hope you don't mind, but I am stealing that!😁
Thanks, Jenifer!
I feel personally attacked lol 100% loved this video, brought tears to my eyes because I am this lady and my dog is the same way. Thank you so much!
Same same same
It’s like he says, you can’t treat housepets as humans. They will neither be happy or comfortable with it. But i wish you and your dog all the best and lots of good luck!🙌🏽
I work in vet med and I recommend you and your videos weekly to people who need guidance. Thank you so so much for putting this out there. Truth hurts, but it doesn't hurt as bad as a Shepard bite🥴
Amazing how tom handles the dogs, but how he communicates and explains it to the people is the main key and he nails it. His communication to the owners is 95% why I watch his videos. People think there dogs need training but it’s really the people who create the problems most of the time . No bad dogs. Just untrained humans.
This is the first time I have seen a dog so aggressive around others because of the relationship with the owner. I feel so bad for the dog because she is so anxious with separation. Tom you are so amazing and giving the truth to the owners so they understand. I would love to see follow up.
Thanks for watching
It's more common than you think.
That is my dog,only around my husband and at our house. He will be good at pet smart because he has gone there for training but it didn't go well. He still hates other dogs we had to do private lessons. He is good for me because I'm not his friend. It is crazy how different he is with me my husband and my son. He knows exactly what to do with each of us. He has them trained
I deal with this every day. It is soooo frustrating. Hard to train correctly when you are clueless. The videos help me but I'm still lost
@@tooblunt4u get professional help locally..it's worth it
I can personally vouch for Tom's behaviour change methods. We fostered a rescue two weeks ago and he is very leash reactive and chokes himself out on the slip. All fear based reactions. I've watched almost every video on the channel and my herm sprenger 2.25 arrived today. I made sure I placed it correctly, secured a safety clip to his flat collar and oh my god. Different dog. He engaged with me, tail wagged and even wanted to play. He watched dogs nearby but didnt growl and looked like he was just interested in his surroundings rather than nose to the ground and thinking of me as a weight to be dragged. I cant wait to help him become a more confident, happy dog. Now if I can just get him to stop going totally bonkers at the doorbell.
Makes me sad people happily use haltis and figure eights to control a dog but you get a Springer and people freak out. Glad you have that tool now and it works!
So glad the owner is being responsible and working to fix her communication with this beautiful gsd. Tom is master interpreter. Awesome job to all. 🌠
Thank you Lee!
As a German Shepherd owner, it’s quite sad to see so many dog owners that get these breeds and have no handle on their dogs. People really need to understand the type of dog they are getting and if they match up to a German Shepherd. This isn’t just a lap dog, it needs full training and not just sit and stay commands. You’re setting up yourself for failure, you’re setting up the dog for failure without understanding your own situation and who you are when getting picking this breed.
I cant agree more !!! If you know what you have you are gonna fix it !!!
Exactly so true, people need to look up the breed before buying them for their looks! I don’t know why she would get another puppy when her dog is reactive to other dogs, hopefully she puts in the training she is leaning now for the puppy as well to prevent the same issues! The poor puppies ear
As a dog trainer myself specializing in working with aggressive behaviors and having run and rescued bully breeds and exotic mastiffs for over 20 years, I really enjoy watching you work and like your approach and techniques. You have a great presence, clear understanding of canine behavior, and it's obvious you're passionate about your work and helping dogs.
Your blunt honesty with the owner without sounding like you're scolding or talking down to her is very helpful and I admire your skills, I think I sometimes get frustrated with the owner if it just isn't sinking in and I that's not helping anyone, it's somethinog I need to work on. I have no trouble establishing relationship and communication with the dogs, dogs make sense to me, but the humans sometimes I just don't know about.
Thomas... of all your video content, I would rate this as among the top 5 most important, must watch videos. German Shepherds are a strong breed and can be *lethal* if the owner fails to be an assertive leader. Your patience and the owner’s desire to learn and modify their own body language and energy projection are key to a successful outcome.
Responsible dog ownership means learning about critical factors such as dog body language and needs for mental stimulation and exercise.
Thank you!
People need to pick breeds more suitable to their handling levels or get a good trainer in the beginning. Amazes me how few people actually research a breed before buying glad this woman listened and willing to change it up for the better
Preach it! Preach it! Preach it! These kinds of conversations are always *so* difficult for trainers. No one wants to have to tell a client their dog's behavior is due to their behavior, but we don't help if we don't find a way to have those discussions. You do such a good job with just that kind of conversation in this vide. Thanks for being the voice for your fellow trainers who don't have a platform like you do.
Thanks so much Cheryl!!
You are such a great dog trainer. And all the teaching of the people is the best part. You are an amazing people trainer!
Thank you Misty!
This guy EXPLAINS dealing with dogs perfectly.
Tom - you said it 'as it is' without sugar-coating the severity of this dog&owner combination. I am glad, the owner came to you for help. By any chance, is there a part#2 where we can see how they progressed under your guidance?
I really needed to see this...just last Sunday, my rescued Cane Corso yanked me off of my feet on a walk lunging after someone who was walking by on the other side of the road. She literally knocked the wind out of me, but I had a death grip on that leash knowing full well what she is capable of. I do use a hermspringer prong collar on her but I was totally devastated, and shaken to my core, so I was so angry I called my husband to come get her. I feel like a total failure. My husband keeps telling me that she is too protective of me and that she does not do this with him. We also have an e collar and had her at a trainers for 2 weeks and received a 10 minute training with her when we picked her up. I know now that this is certainly not ideal and was at the very least inadequate training and money wasted. I wish I knew you before we went there. I some how stumbled across your videos and became hooked. You have helped me so much but I have a lot of work to do.....Everything in this video is what I needed to hear and it is ringing in my ears very loudly. It is time for me to shut up and put up, dig in and fix my unhealthy relationship with her. I am not a novice dog owner and have had many rescue dogs but she has certainly been the most challenging one to date. She is also very smart. I wish I could do a session with you. I will keep you updated on our progress. Thank you Thom for doing these videos. You are making a difference!
My name is Christine btw didn't realize I was logged in under my husbands account!
Same story here. You're not alone. I've got an enormous half pit half rot that outweighs me by 30 lbs. He loves all humans but if he sees an animal on walks he loses his mind, lunges with everything he's got, becomes explosive and no longer hears or responds to me or my commands. I love in fear that ill have to put him down if he gets ahold of another dog. So for that reason I always tie the leash in a knot around my waist to ensure he can not break free from me. We still go on walks every day but if I see another dog being walked up the way I'll turn us around and avoid the inevitable incident all together. Its all I can do. I wish you the best of luck. Cane Corsos are extra stubborn.
@@brandimccormick4439 Thank You for the words of encouragement. I have since taken measures and really took a long look in the mirror and realized I am the problem.... I created this and now it is my responsibility to fix it and and give my dog the leadership she needs. We have been working very hard on this and have seen improvement. She is muzzled on walks and when she goes to the vet...no exceptions. We can not take any chances anymore. She is still the loving dog for us however she knows who is the leader now.
@@ivyrose779 second this! Rachel is the best 😁
One of your best videos probably! With some of your best explaining! Awesome stuff!
That was the best explanation about correcting a dog there at the end and it’s how they are used to it from other dogs. I’ll be telling this to everyone who says something about my dog in his prong from now on!
Amazing video Tom! I love how realistic you are and how you tailor your methods to every dog and owner.
Great video Tom!
Very candid and exactly the type of information that pet owners need to hear on a regular basis
Honest and direct!! I love this!!
It is absolutely necessary to be brutally honest with the owners when their dog is aggressive in order for them to change and move forward with their companion in a healthy way. I commend you for being brutally honest and not sugar coating things.
the way you explain things and the analogies you use to help people understand is why your my idol for dog training hands down the best
Thanks for saving so many dogs. Props to the owner as well for taking this seriously and being willing to put in the work.
Love his explanation in the beginning. It applies to so many things. And good on the owner for sitting there and listening isntead of arguing back or getting defensive.
thank goodness you kept it real with this owner
Tom going off at the end is my favorite part. That dog is gorgeous 🤍 bless her little heart
All of your videos are great, but this one is by far the best. Great explanations of the dog's behavior, and why. Loved watching this one!
Update please!!!!! Loved that the owner was open to listen.
This might be one of favourite videos/sessions from him.
I always learn something after watching these videos! Thank you!
I love your balanced training approach.
I've watched your videos for a while now Tom, you are absolutely amazing and have such good energy around these dogs, all credit to you and how you explain everything so simply for the owners and viewers alike. It's all total common sense, but because some love their dogs so much, it gets lost in translation and sometimes to the cost of the owners.
Man you are NO1. You actually have the guts to tell people WHAT THEY HAVE TO HEAR. Hope they have receptive EARS.🐕🐕🐕
This was UPC’s best video yet on what to do when training a dog! Explained so clearly exactly what you are doing to help lovely Lexi! It was brutal to the owner but she was a champ for listening and being so willing to work with everything you told her! Some people just don’t want to hear it at all, bless her for being open so that her dog can have a chance to become healthier if she follows what you taught her. Thanks for sharing this video! 🙏
Forgot how much I love this video! 🙌 Such great info!!
Wow! Definitely held my breath for some of this one! So true about talking to the dog, great analogy with if you were speaking another language how frustrating it would be if you don't understand!
Props to the owner too! I know how hard it is to realize you are the problem, but I can also say how much better life can be when you put in the work. It's hard work sometimes but absolutely worth it! ☺
I like that I could observe her tail between legs from the beginning, then flash forward to you sitting next to her and her tail was more relaxed. I look forward to an update on her progress. So happy for the owner advocating for her.
Kuddos to this owner for asking for and taking help for herself and her dog-and amazing job from the trainer!!!!!! This is so important for us dog owners to learn about
What a great session! Honestly no bullshit approach full of useful and helpful information! 👏👏👏
These videos are extremely helpful, thanks.
So much good content here! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Best video I've seen of yours. You can tell how passionate you are in what you do. You did not sugar coat anything, you were straight up, genuine and knew if you weren't with her this dog was going to hurt something or someone again. 👏👏👏 thank you for sharing your knowledge and filming your trainings with us💟
Absolutely your Best Video so far. Keep doing what you're doing. I love watching and learning!!
wow, thanks so much for the feedback!
This was so powerful and moving. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Maria! I appreciate you!
I wish so badly I could travel to you 😭 I seriously look up to you! You are seriously saving lives! I look forward to these videos.
I love you, that's weird coming from a stranger I get that. But these videos, your passion to save these owners and rescue these very misunderstood dogs. I can't help but be so thankful and very loving of everything you do. I have a 2 year old German Shep who has allot of nervous/fear aggression ever since I was attacked. Training him and myself has been VERY hard, but your videos KEEP me going and keep me focused on what i want his life to be and not what it is now. He is finally showing a lot of improvement, and I'm feeling a lot more confident walking him again. We both have a LONG way to go, but couldn't be more grateful for your videos. Thank you
So true..,.
Almost of dog’s owners treat them as humans and they make them totally confused .
Great job Thomas .
You are amazing! One of the best trainers I've seen. You really know dog energy, and how to be the best leader. And yes dogs are SUPER intelligent, and can detect cancer and high cortisol levels in humans. Thank you for inspiring! Never a bad dog, only bad leaders
Great video! You had my attention the entire video, which is rare for me 🙃
Loved this video! I love how you put it black and white…no bs. More people should watch this video!
Favorite vid so far.take care.
Yessss Tom I love this vidqeo so much very helpful thanks!!!! ❤
I love your advice and honesty to the HANDLERS.
I have watched a couple of your videos and I am grateful for your honesty and bluntness when explainingto them how serious it is to be a responsible owner. #nobaddogs
new sub.
Dude you are so real, it's refreshing to cut the BS and tell them like it is. I said it before and I'll say it again, BEST behaviour modifier ever!
Much love thank you so much
Great video Tom, hard to see a dog that is so insecure. Hope that you make a part 2 to this so we can see this dogs progress.
Thanks for watchign Ben!
I sooooo needed to hear this! I need to stop treating my dogs like humans.
Thank you Tom!
This is a great video! Your videos have helped me with my leash and boundary aggressive GSD. By watching you videos I have learned timing is very important when it come to corrections. Luna was corrected for lunging at my neighbor and we turned around and went back to the fence and she sat there like a perfect lady. Now if I can just get my husband to stop talking to her in sentences. He doesn’t get that’s why she does nothing he tells her to do.
Wow ... love this hard truth. I could have used this years ago.
You are the best trainer to open anyones eyes , the way speak how and what u say always make sense u are a incredibly good trainer very few like u keep it up love you’re vids x
"Don't let the dog be in front of you". This! basically for any dog. So valuable and something I learned when I trained with my dog
Tom is a God-sent!! Luv ALL his videos! This one was FULL of so much info! Not only do I use his info/training in my own dog, but it’s helps me at the shelter I volunteer at. 👍🏻KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, TOM!!!👍🏻 U ROCK!! 😁
Awe, thank you so much!
Reminds me of my black German Shepherd mix I rescued 4 years ago! She wasn’t quite this aggressive but definitely had a bite record and severe fear aggression. So happy to say that after a few years of structure, boundaries, and a confident handler, she has come such a long way and made many new friends, people and dogs! She will never be the social dog that strangers can pet, but I respect that and will advocate for her every time! I love her so much. NO BAD DOGS
Amazing session !!!
I love how you put us in our place about treating our dogs like humans. We need that, I will stop talking to Leo so much. Thank you so much
You telling the owners they are the problem, at first, it made me anxious. But, then I realized true communication to the owners is just as important as the communication with the dogs. Your use of all the tools is epic. To see you try things, and if they don't work you work out, you find a way that does. Well done Tom!
I'm so happy I found your TH-cam channel! I love learning from all your videos!:)
Thanks, Samantha!
Tom, so many good nuggets of wisdom in this one!!!
Thanks!
Your videos are fantastic. You appear to be a wonderful soul..energy. keep spreading the love!
Thank you so much!
Tom, so good 👌. I’m sure you get tired of explaining the basics, but it is so helpful to all of us who need to hear it. Thanks so much for what you do!!
Thanks so much
Wow this one was crazy!!! "Take down the love and turn up the leadership" so good
It's amazing how much of a difference it makes, when the handler knows how to handle their dog!!❤❤. Amazing work as always
Indeed
Thanks for watching!
i dont even have a dog but i am very passionate about them and one day when i have one, i want to be ready to make both of us the happiest possible.
i love watching you. your approach, mentality, communication skills, relationship with dogs and owners. everything feels so secure and trustable 💓
I have trained dogs for obedience and for protection. Every dog trainer has their own method. Communicating with your dog is the most important thing.. I like this guy.. well done
This hit home so much. We have a reactive dog who has required a lot of training (of us!), and the fear I have of him biting someone is so tangible, I felt it through the screen when this GS first reacted with the food. Thank you for all your teaching Tom, it has definitely saved my dog's life!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Don't beat yourself up. You took the criticism like someone who really wants to help their dog! You can create a new relationship with that beautiful dog!! Gonna take some hard work but you are totally capable my friend.
PEACE
So good, Tom! All these messages you gave to the owner I learned from you 1.5 years ago. Now my reactive GSD no longer reacts to dogs even when they are lunging and barking at us. Relationship, leadership, obedience, structure and training every day or every opportunity made all the difference.
Yas ! Happy for you!
Respectful instruction, amazing to watch you work and so much information shared! "I'm listening to her breathing..." Thank you for sharing your gift. Learning so much♥️
Thank you, Sara!
One of the best videos yet!!
Beautiful animal and I wish the human the best in doing right by the doggo!!
👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is such a good session so much progress
Great Common Sense Tom. Excellent way of getting your point across to somebody. I learned a lot from you all I have to explain things to people. Lots of love coming out your brother
Thanks much
This is an awesome video! Kudos to the owner to seek help & could not be in better hands! These help me so much, thank you!
Thanks so much!
I felt so bad for the puppy and the owner. They both mean so well and live each other so much. This was amazing work
You are an absolute gem Tom 😊
awe thank you so much
You are a great motivational speaker 🤗
Thanks for watching!
AMAZING job, Tom.
Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot Tom, this video was really inspirational!
Yay!
This is the best trainer I have ever seen he is good with people and with dogs explaining it so well easy to understand what he means guys only from watching this chanal we learn so much!!! Keep up the amazing work 😁😁😁
Thanks so much Aeriel! :)
Tom cracks me up. I like his analogies. 😊
