Appreciate the cues about wanting to play and wanting to stop play. Just met a 7 yr old Boerbel who was well behaved and well socialized. And the owner said the same thing, the dog isn’t for everyone and you have to put the work in to be able to control the dog. The owner put a lot of work in and has a beautiful dog. Thanks again for educating!
Agreed. While not a Boerboel, we (my dog and I) met a 18mo Italian Mastiff (Cane Corso) and the owner has truly put in the work for this beautifully natured dog and while there is a lot of maturing ahead it was a great experience for dogs and humans - both dogs remained on leash while playing. The owner did say that not too many people were wanting to interact with his dog due to his size and appearance and I also did ask if it would be okay to meet as my 2yo female dog is only 2/3s his dog's size .
I love that you tell about what the dog needs, what kind of owner it needs. Like you say, they're wonderful dogs with the right owners - and very few people are. It sadens me when people get dogs like Burleigh, just to show off. Not only do the dogs get the blame when something goes wrong, they can do quite some damage in the wrong hands. I for sure wouldn't be able to own a dog like him. He's super cute, just adorable and I'm happy for him that he gets an owner like you!
We love the Burleigh vids! I'm much happier seeing more of these videos regularly, than waiting for extra editting. Keep the Burleigh content coming Tom 🙂
These training videos with him are perfect timing and so helpful. My husband and I are currently debating on getting a Boerboel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Good stuff. My Labs that are 2 and 2 1/2 can definately get rough when playing. We taught them "all done" to end play when it is getting rough, let them chill out briefly then break them to start again. Oddly enough my 2 1/2 yr old Corso is more gentle when playing.
I was lucky enough to meet a boerboel last month while at work. The owner brought him over from South Africa, and his name was Reverend. 3 years old and absolutely the densest dog ive ever pet. I held his head in my hands and it was HUGE! Its not the biggest ive seen in real life, that goes to my friend's newfoundland, but it was certainly the widest head ive seen on a dog. He was so sweet. His lil nub tail was wagging so much it was so cute. I was like "I dunno if I could see this sweet guy taking on a lion like they were originally bred for, but I would trust him with my life." And that gave the owner a laugh. He was a great guy. you could tell the dog and him really loved each other. He was very well groomed and trained.
I have 2 Boerboels a 5 yr old an a 2 yr old......the 2 yr old ran into our couch head first at 5 months wen playing an it pinched his spine an the spine stroked out....he spent nearly 5 wks in nappies an had to learn how to walk again on the back legs but we gave him physio twice aday everyday an plenty of mental stimulation an he came through it after bout a yr....but it left him slightly mentaly slow so hes now known in our town as the BFG...hes so gentle an calm....just as well as he weighs 74kg atm. I simply adore Burleys goofyness.😊😊😊
I have a 10 year old Boerbel HIs first few years was tough but worth all the work, its funny he is still a puppy loves his toys its fun to see him play in his head he is still a puppy. Thanks Tom for your great videos always alot of help for me, I have 2 gsd same age, yes one of those crazy people ended up with 2 puppies same dad. My Boerbel just ignores them most the time.
I love seeing Burleigh, my daughter just purchase 2 Cane Corso’s Titan and Thor ( brothers) they are taking them everywhere they go to,socialize. They are also having them trained by a professional that trains their police dogs at the sheriff’s office where they work. They are beautiful puppies that weigh 40 pounds and are I believe they are 16 weeks old. Their ears are not cropped so they don’t look fierce.
Thanks for sharing! It was very helpful how you explained adapting the training to the character of the dog, in this case his immaturity & breed characteristics ❤
I've found this video and the previous socialisation one really helpful. It's good to see it in action with a handler who knows how to read the signs and how to respond. I find it hard to know how to react in the moment when my dog meets other dogs.
It is sooo true that the Boerboel may be double or triple the size of others in class of the same age yet be soooo goofy 😂 My female Boerboel, Amari was the biggest dork in puppy class. Her trainer was very impressed with her tempermant!! Beat breed imo❤
Thank you for explaining mastiff type behaviour! I have a cane Corso and she behaves very differently from every other dog I've had. You've pointed out a few things that normalized her behaviour (slow development, doesn't want to leave her property, very watchful outside and not playful with other dogs)
so glad to see this vid. Ive just started training a 9 month old staghound/greyhound cross. He is as big as a full grown Saint Bernard already! Ive been doing the same, working on manners, socialisation and recall.
I really love the videos with Burleigh! I feel like its important to have a how to properly raise a dog guide, rather than only ever fixing problems. Plus, I love American Akitas, so the focus on raising a neutral calm temperament dog is key, just like Burleigh. I have an absolutely perfect Akita, but I didn't raise her so I'm hoping I can do it properly when the day comes
I'll be getting a Border collie puppy in July. I have her aunt and uncle, and great aunt and while the great aunt is a wonderful, friendly dog, her aunt and uncle are not so much friendly with people and dogs in general. I take full blame for that and I am working on them slowly to try and at least ease some of their issues. But the new pup I am going to be different with. These videos I'm hoping will give me ideas for better socializing and dealing with the new pup when she comes.
Love the socialising videos!! Yes please managing other pet owners. I get heaps of owners who let their dogs come up to ours unrestrained, it RARELY ends well. So stressfull
He is so cute and adorable! Thanks for showing us this, I always thought that dogs had to like other dogs. Thanks for teaching us all this great stuff! Love your channel and love your videos, I am always happy and excited when I see you posted a new one, especially if Burleigh in it! 🫶🏻
Another great, informative, real life video. I'd also like to see large dog, small dog play, interactions and how you would handle the size discrepancy .
Always informative! How do you teach a big dog to be gentle with smaller dogs? I have a very large GSD who’s very large brother and playmate passed. They wrestled and played and had a good time. Now that his brother is gone, he’s trying to play the same way with our female who is 25# lighter. He’s far too rough with her all in good fun from his perspective. He’s 5. Not that I want him to go play with a yorkie, I just want him to tone it down with our female.
Hi Tom, huge fan of your work. I have a 2-year old male American Akita who’s very good with people but not other male dogs. He was bit by a boerbul when he was young and since then he stopped playing nicely with other dogs. Would it be appropriate to use one of those Baskerville Ultra Muzzle to start socializing him again to other dogs and not worry about him biting other dogs when he gets overwhelmed?
Is neck biting considered healthy play? My 7 month old Golden enjoys playing with a 1 year old Labrador. They play every few days in a large enclosed space. At seemingly random points in their play the Lab will bite her neck so hard she yelps submits then goes right back in for more play. Wondering if, when and how to intervene.
Many breeds that have docked tails per breed standard are often prone to "happy tail" that causes a lot of pain for the dog later in life. These breeds are often ones that have long thin tails that are not as robust (like the newfie in this video). They will get excited at hit it on things just from activity of daily life. Some will even need a tail amputation later in life that is FAR more painful to the animal than docked tails on puppies. Many people that get upset about docked tails or cropped ears... don't seem to throw a fit about cutting out ovaries and testicles (which has permanent endocrine impacts on the animal)* ... It's bizarre.
*And yes, there are risks and benefits to spay and neuter of course. Many people spay and neuter too early and has increased risk of bone cancer and cognitive development. Most larger breeds do best being fixed later in life if at all. Case-by-case basis.
So crazy.. so our new APBT pup who is 16 weeks has always been strangely cautious about rushing out of the crate and door!? We obviously adore that.. but ya, crazy he does this naturally
@ yes and no… he has not been an easy puppy. Easy to house train, great with all other animals, sweet etc. but, also not afraid of anything and at times a bit stubborn. He is very smart but also likes to do his own thing sometimes
@@carissalizotte8977That’s exactly what I’m finding out about my four year old ABT mix. I’ve had him three weeks now and is house trained and sits. Working on stay and come and is doing good. I first thought he was aggressive to prople and dogs but happily I found out he is reactive. Never had a dog this small 45 pounds comes to my knee. I’m use to GS Dobermans and my last was a pit/boxer mix who passed last October at 13 from cancer. He was the perfect dog. Never showed any aggression. I will say my new guy is definitely harder to work with but such a lover. Loves to cuddle on the couch. Appreciate your reply.
I got my shepherd in 2022 ,before the pandemic was lifted. She’s 2 1/2 years old now I didn’t get the chance to socialize her as I would have liked. I’m working with her on it now but she went from almost no exposure to being overwhelmed by tons of dogs and kids. Do you have any tips ? She has pulled me down 3 times in the last 6 months trying to get to the common fence between us and the neighbor. She’s a big girl at about 85 -90 lbs.
Is the starmark better for larger dogs over the herm sprenger? I've used a 2.5m herm on my Rottie but it's a hit or miss. I've been thinking about the starmark.
I so want to get a NBD ❤ treat bag but the shipping to Canada was waaay more that the actual treat bag! 😢😢😢 Will you ever be making a deal with a shipper so It’s not so crazy. I get stuff from the US with a Flat $9.95 rate with is not prohibitive when you consider the exchange rate etc. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
i have a really serious question more of actually sorta need help my friends found an abandoned dog and they gave me her and because they couldn't take care of her but she always scared and anxious how do i help her if you could let me know it'd be nice she's believed to be under two years of age and she's a Pitbull has no aggression though.
Hey there, I'd really love some help with my pup if you have the time. She's 10 years old and was recently diagnosed with leukemia so she's on a regular dose of chemo which makes her secretions unsafe to the skin. She's always been an excessive licker and I'm having trouble figuring out how to train her to stop - her saliva isn't safe and since she takes chemo so regularly there isn't a period where it ever will be :') She's so excited whenever a new person is near her that she won't stop drive-by licking them. What do I do?
Hi Tom. Is there any way to help/show how to deal with a dog jumping at the door to come back inside? I’ve used a correction collar, but if it isn’t on, he will jump. If it’s one, I can address it without opening the door, but… how to translate to without the collar? I’m fine with vocalizing to come back in, just not the jumping. I stand at the door and wait for the behavior I want, which is to sit first, away from the glass door. Then I open it. I don’t open when he has jumped. Thanks for any help.
Edit, 7 month old Great Dane, male. We do thresholds, like you, with gates, doors, anytime I want him to wait and walk behind me through something. Back. Crate. No rushing the bowl for eating. Visit when meeting people. All the good things. The door is a challenge that is causing strain with hubs.
I have 1 year old cane corso that was abused at a very early age. When I brought her home at 8 weeks, she was terrified of people and 2 year later, still won’t let someone touch her. I tried so hard as a puppy to socialize her with kids and adults by having people give her treat and let her but she refused to be touched. And now that’s she’s 100 pounds, she’s not aggressive towards people. I just don’t know what to do. She’s good with dogs, very smart, very well obedience trained but when she sees someone, she’s extremely reactive and if they get closer , she’ll try to bite their leg. She now has to wear a collar that says “do not pet”. 😢
With a powerful breed like this, would seriously think about getting an amazing trainer like Tom, or, if possible, Tom himself.Had a 125lb.reactive gsd, so not as huge as a Corso, Tom's videos really helped me a lot. Good luck & hang in there.
Hey @tom, how do you call off play ? My over friendly lab doesn’t want play to end, and his obedience goes out of the window. What can we practice to make him understand that play time is over and we should continue on our walk?
I am not a trainer but I have two Labs and we taught them "ALL Done" to stop play. Started by having super great treats and cued the words and gave them a treat. Repeated for several reps per day for about a week. Then moved to the back yard and when they were playing used All Done and they came to get the super great treat and they got a jackpot. Then let them return to play. Repeated this daily and now they know when they hear all done its time to stop even with other dogs.
He is doing really well Tom. I wonder if you should also comment that a lot of people should not consider this breed because of its guardian and protective nature. With you as a trainer and other people equally knowledgeable, this dogs would be fine, but many people might see this video and think they could have a Boerbohl too just st like what happened with the Malinois, Cane Corso, pit bull and many other breeds. Just a comment
Really enjoyed the two big goof balls just being pups. When my girl WHWT girl came to me at 3 y.o. she thought she could go straight up to any dog. As I'm in a wheelchair/mobility scooter and that impacts dog handling, I taught her 'just look' and 'go say hello' has worked really well. It really irritates me when people allow their dog to come straight up to my dog......owners with poor manners tend to have dogs with poor manners IMO
I don’t like when people want to break up play of butt sniffing because they think it’s inappropriate or that they’re fighting. My Aussie does tend to get vocal when romping with another dog, but it’s all just play.
Appreciate the cues about wanting to play and wanting to stop play. Just met a 7 yr old Boerbel who was well behaved and well socialized. And the owner said the same thing, the dog isn’t for everyone and you have to put the work in to be able to control the dog. The owner put a lot of work in and has a beautiful dog.

That’s one of the best quality boerboels I’ve ever seen. Little dude is jacked and shizzled from day one
I appreciate that you are waiting for him to mature for "age appropriate " skills. Awesome Tom! You really are the coolest❤
I love that you tell about what the dog needs, what kind of owner it needs. Like you say, they're wonderful dogs with the right owners - and very few people are.

Fellow Boerboel owner. Lovely story. You should do a you tube channel for him.
Omg he's gotten so BIG SO FAST..LOL GORGEOUS. U DO AMAZING WRK

Thanks Everyone,
Lovely video. Such good boys! Xx
Extremely helpful - thanks Tom.
Big dogs at play, I love it! Burleigh and Stewart are both awesome!
Huge breed puppies are the absolute cutest ❤
tolles Video, schön die Hunde beim Spielen zu sehen, liebe Grüße aus Österreich
Great video can’t wait to see more videos of burleigh and his progress
Again, yes please, more of these! The play interaction is very helpful. Thanks 😊
PLEASE keep rolling out these awesome videos!!!
Enjoyed the video, keep them coming!
Thank you Tom
Burleigh is a lovely looking pup, such a healthy looking coat. These videos are great.
Can you talk more about how you are focusing on socializing with people?
Loved the info about what to look for as healthy dog play interactions
so glad to see this vid. Ive just started training a 9 month old staghound/greyhound cross. He is as big as a full grown Saint Bernard already! Ive been doing the same, working on manners, socialisation and recall.

Very nice interaction. Beautiful dogs.
These videos are amazing!!! So much amazing knowledge!! His trainer is beyond good he is brilliant! So talented and gifted at this ❤
Great video, Tom! I love the updates and training tips with Burleigh
Thank you again. This video and the last video are some of the best socialising videos I've seen❤
I'll be getting a Border collie puppy in July. I have her aunt and uncle, and great aunt and while the great aunt is a wonderful, friendly dog, her aunt and uncle are not so much friendly with people and dogs in general. I take full blame for that and I am working on them slowly to try and at least ease some of their issues. But the new pup I am going to be different with.

Enjoying this series and picking up a lot of great information. Thank you!
yes...more
Great!. Cute, happy puppy. Thanks
Love the socialising videos!! Yes please managing other pet owners. I get heaps of owners who let their dogs come up to ours unrestrained, it RARELY ends well. So stressfull
Appreciate the video. Burleigh got so big since I last saw him!
excellent freaking video
He is so cute and adorable! Thanks for showing us this, I always thought that dogs had to like other dogs. Thanks for teaching us all this great stuff! Love your channel and love your videos, I am always happy and excited when I see you posted a new one, especially if Burleigh in it! 🫶🏻

Thanks for more helpful information.
Thanks for the update.
Another great, informative, real life video. I'd also like to see large dog, small dog play, interactions and how you would handle the size discrepancy .
love these training videos !
Very cool dog
Thank you. I never know if my dogs are just playing and when to break if off.
Wow, look at Burleigh's shoulder muscle! 💪🏼
another good helpful video. I enjoyed it more because I have a 2 yr old Newfoundland. Keep the play by play videos

@tomdaivisoffical love your hat. Where can I get a “MY DOG BITES” hat? 😂
On my site!
I want a No Bad Dogs Treat Bag but they do not seem to be in stock. 😢😢😢
So crazy.. so our new APBT pup who is 16 weeks has always been strangely cautious about rushing out of the crate and door!? We obviously adore that.. but ya, crazy he does this naturally
Curious if your dog was/is hard to train.
@ yes and no… he has not been an easy puppy. Easy to house train, great with all other animals, sweet etc. but, also not afraid of anything and at times a bit stubborn. He is very smart but also likes to do his own thing sometimes

Would you consider coming to Michigan for a course. I really like and learn a lot from your videos. I have a German shepherd that is dog reactive.
As a south African, I just gotta say you are brave to raise a boerboel. We use them to protect farms where I am and they effing terrify me 😅

it would be interesting to see how he is with a Shepard
where can I find the collar that you put close to the dog's ears please
What kind of dog is the black one?
I have Great Dane Belgian Malinois mix, 74 lbs at 6 months 😆
Is the starmark better for larger dogs over the herm sprenger? I've used a 2.5m herm on my Rottie but it's a hit or miss. I've been thinking about the starmark.

It’s not so crazy. I get stuff from the US with a Flat $9.95 rate with is not prohibitive when you consider the exchange rate etc. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi, do you have your personal dogs ( fixed) to prevent not having/ making babies?
Do you have a video of the top dogs you don't recommend for the average person?
Nice
I have 1 year old cane corso that was abused at a very early age. When I brought her home at 8 weeks, she was terrified of people and 2 year later, still won’t let someone touch her. I tried so hard as a puppy to socialize her with kids and adults by having people give her treat and let her but she refused to be touched. And now that’s she’s 100 pounds, she’s not aggressive towards people. I just don’t know what to do. She’s good with dogs, very smart, very well obedience trained but when she sees someone, she’s extremely reactive and if they get closer , she’ll try to bite their leg. She now has to wear a collar that says “do not pet”. 😢
I'm not sure you understand the breed you bought. That's not a pet dog by any means.
Hire a trainer
With a powerful breed like this, would seriously think about getting an amazing trainer like Tom, or, if possible, Tom himself.Had a 125lb.reactive gsd, so not as huge as a Corso, Tom's videos really helped me a lot. Good luck & hang in there.
Take your dog to an expert with good reviews for what you need
what collar is he using on burley? the black one
Hey @tom, how do you call off play ? My over friendly lab doesn’t want play to end, and his obedience goes out of the window. What can we practice to make him understand that play time is over and we should continue on our walk?
I am not a trainer but I have two Labs and we taught them "ALL Done" to stop play. Started by having super great treats and cued the words and gave them a treat. Repeated for several reps per day for about a week. Then moved to the back yard and when they were playing used All Done and they came to get the super great treat and they got a jackpot. Then let them return to play. Repeated this daily and now they know when they hear all done its time to stop even with other dogs.
He is doing really well Tom. I wonder if you should also comment that a lot of people should not consider this breed because of its guardian and protective nature. With you as a trainer and other people equally knowledgeable, this dogs would be fine, but many people might see this video and think they could have a Boerbohl too just st like what happened with the Malinois, Cane Corso, pit bull and many other breeds. Just a comment
Thanks! I do mention that
How do you know if it’s immaturity or ability?
Because he’s far too young to think he’s incapable of doing anything. But I know for sure he’s immature and very juvenile.
What's an X pen?
Is that the same puppy I've seen in your earlier videos? He's yours right? My Gosh he got big!! ❤
Yes
Exactly Tom ‘it’s a short video’.. therefore, make it wayy longer next time 🤣
Really enjoyed the two big goof balls just being pups. When my girl WHWT girl came to me at 3 y.o. she thought she could go straight up to any dog. As I'm in a wheelchair/mobility scooter and that impacts dog handling, I taught her 'just look' and 'go say hello' has worked really well. It really irritates me when people allow their dog to come straight up to my dog......owners with poor manners tend to have dogs with poor manners IMO
My cousin had one of these. He liked killing the critters though. I once went camping and was putting on a jacket and he almost chomped down on me!
How old was the Newfoundland dog
I’ve never been this early 😂
6:14
He got big. Fast
I don’t like when people want to break up play of butt sniffing because they think it’s inappropriate or that they’re fighting. My Aussie does tend to get vocal when romping with another dog, but it’s all just play.
❤️🐶❤️
