You actually saved my new rescue’s life because i was told a compassionate euthanasia may be needed due to abuse and EXTREME FEAR of everything.. i watched 1 of your videos and my vet was shocked at how far she had come along in just 6 weeks...THANK YOU and hopefully in the spring I can ask for help getting her to actually walk outside and take a walk. Cant wait to meet you Dude!! Great job!! BRAVO🐛🦋
❤️❤️ so happy for you!
Which video even I want to see
@@tomdavisofficial Do you believe that people should mainly use prong collars on dogs instead of harnesses when we get a dog? Every time I try to get my chiweenie and bulldog to come to me by popping them with the leash when they spot a distraction there’s little effect and leads to me having to basically yank them away from the distraction as I walk the other direction or walk further ahead.
@@laurynrogers9763 I'm not him, but harnesses are useless because you cannot give a correction. So you cannot communicate to your dog. If your dog responds to a "pop" on a flat collar, then that is enough to communicate with him, if he doesn't perhaps try a Gentle Leader and if that doesn't work he might need a prong (if he is a big or powerful dog).
My 80 lb Shepherd needs a prong...
Tom has a video th-cam.com/video/XmYOYA7PKLw/w-d-xo.html where he removes a harness from a Shepherd and says that they are useless because they make the dog pull.
@@laurynrogers9763 prong collars are extremely harmful in the wrong hands. It's especially harmful for smaller dogs, their trachea can collapse, suffocate, and die. I believe getting a vibrating collar like he has shown, and consistently training to show that is not an acceptable behavior will change this and not hurt your dog.
You know what, I appreciated when Tom said: “I can learn from that”. What a REAL thing to say. Most dog trainers never say that! Tom ➡️🤜🏽
I’m always learning!
After all, those who continue to grow are continuously learning 😊
I really liked the explanation he made about staring at the dog while walking, something I need to keep in mind!
Never stop learning.
Definitely, to be a teacher you must know how to be a student first. Tom has mastered this :) As a dog trainer myself I’m learning from each person and each dog, the whole thing is an adventure! So important to let people know.
I started training my first dog 46 years ago in September. Any time you think you know it all, or even a lot, some dog will walk through the door and teach you you don't know anything on that day. LOL
7:33
Tom: sit
Both dogs: alright imma do it
I noticed that too😊
Haha I didn't see it. EPIC :D
I saw that too! So cute.
In the first couple seconds of this video I saw that she was petting him during the reactivity. That was just aiding in the behavior, she was honestly just reinforcing it. Thank goodness she got some training advice so that way she can set her dog up for success!
I noticed that too and just slapped my forehead. I'm glad Tom is there for them.
Mother in law was walking our dog yesterday and had to correct with a "leave it" and popped the prong..a lady playing frisbee with her dog in the distance yelled "that won't do anything !!" 🤦 It's frustrating when training your dog and correcting, and then having commentary from people who don't know what they're talking about. If you ever encounter this, just yell back at the person "leave it".😂
haha nice. and exactly.
plus i hear “leave it” by all the best trainers and dog owners i see here on youtube. n notice the not so good ones not saying it. i mean she couldn’t have seen the prong because she was so far in the distance so think that’s what your talking about.
Everyone has different ideas when it comes to dog training, and that's ok, but unless someone explicitly asked for your opinion, just mind your own dog!! I hate having people around telling me what i should or should not do in training my dog ESPECIALLY when they have absolutely no qualifications in the matter. Unless you want to compliment someone else's dog, just don't talk!
@@Queen365 i wouldn't ever use a prong collar on my dog, but imo, not training a dog is more harmful than training one with a prong collar. If used well to my understanding it's more like it cause discomfort to the dog rather than actual pain. Either way I would never tell someone else how they should train their dog unless asked so, just like i would never tell you how to raise your children. Unless you suspect a case of physical abuse, mind your own business
@@Queen365 Prong collars don't inflict pain, It applies pressure. Using prong collars effectively and correctly is as harmless as a mother dog picking their pups up by their neck or when she corrects them. Anyways, animals probably inflict a lot more pain on their offspring than people who using prong collars correctly for correction. You can learn more about safe use of prong collars with researching how trainers suggest using them. It definitely takes a balance.
Thank you Tom!! Since we got home we have just been working on everything with Legend and we are making progress!! Thank you for all the work!
So happy Katelyn!!!
This is my dog, too. To the point of pulling me to the ground. These real life videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Great to see the video! How's legend doing?
@@monicacannamiss9631 so much better. Still a lot to work on but we can now go on hikes and most places without him being reactive at all. It takes a lot of work but so worth it. All possible from taking everything Tom taught us and applying it to real life.
I hope you understand how much your videos help dog owners. My dog had issues outside, became very reactive. In the end it turned out that I wasn't giving him enough security and leadership. I switched my approach based on your tips, and just had the best walk ever with him. Dude, thank you so much. I'm liking all your vids like a maniac now, the least I can do. Thanks
That means the world to me thank you
Hey how did you switch up your approach? Our dog is super reactive to other dogs and we're trying our best to be the leaders..did u just correct your dog everytime he tried to walk in front of you?
@@mrinalinim8795 I am by no means a professional, so probably best to ask this to a (good) trainer. But if my dog would start to build up, I'd walk the other way. If he didn't come with me I'd give him a small correction. When he did come with me, I'd praise him a lot and reward him with some snacks. Also keeping him next to me at all times, until the "break" command. Worked wonders. Hope you'll find a way soon!
I just found you and stayed up all night watching your videos. I’ve watched many trainers over the past year. Now, thanks to you, I have a new dog. Everything just made so much sense to me now. My dog went from extremely fearful, barking nonstop, lunging etc to being able to walk through petsmart without a single bark or pull all in one day! I feel like I owe you so much 💕
I am so happy for you and your pet. Yes, Tom is Great, but you are the one who followed through. Enjoy!
I love the analogies to kids. It's spot on.
Thanks so much!
Upstate Canine Academy yesss
0:30 OMG, when that dog statue moved I freaked out.
We need more people like you Tom
🙏🏻🙏🏻
The thing is people get scared when they see another dog that’s the problem it’s not the dog it’s the owners who feel or get scared. I used to be like this. Tom if you read this can you do a video on this topic how to be calm when walking your dog with other dogs around etc?
I was scared and unsure what to do when I saw another dog coming, I turned and fled the scene. After I learned how to use prong collar (thanks to Tom), I took a step at a time. When I knew I can ask my pup to heel and leave it, when I saw a dog passed by across the street, heel and leave it, kept going. One success led to another attempt. The more success I have, the confidence build up. I learned from the experience and knew what type of dogs will trigger my pup to react. It is all learning experience for me. If I didn’t do well this time, I tell myself that’s ok too, I am learning and so is my dog. We both will get better together someday, as long as we never stop learning. My base line of confidence comes from I knew the prong collar is able to help me move on with my pup, that’s the confidence I have to keep me trying and learning. I don’t have to activate the pop often now, but the prong collar has saved me a few unexpected times. I have used prong collar for about 4 months now, and it really helped us and our dog.
Smoke a little weed, calm myself, and walk my two dogs. When my 1 great pyrenees acts up, I just continue walking and ignore her so she doesn't get a reaction.
@@Razzberry4444 I am nervous because there are so many dogs on harnesses that their owners can hardly hold on to as they bark and lunge.
He just did
These leash reactivity videos are SO helpful for us. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
I love to see that I'm not the only one with a leash reactive golden retriever! That dog was so red and beautiful. My golden is leash reactive and really insecure around other dogs both on and off leash. He has an issue over correcting other dogs. I wish I could bring him to see you.
I wish more people were aware of this and gave their dogs another chance at a better life.
I teach the same thing when walking my service dog with students. I tell them to relax when holding the leash. When they do it right, my dog follows. I explain that the sensation on the end of the leash is like walking a helium ballon. No pressure no tension. Head held high, eyes forward, feel the communication through the leash.
I watch your videos when I can, and my 3 yr old German Shepard is very reactive on leash towards other dogs. Does that mean I need a prong collar. Linda
Ugh, I see so much of myself in this owner! My own nervousness made my dog tense and unsure what I wanted from him. So that lead him to be reactive because he couldn't trust me to lead. The more confident I became and let the tools do the talking, keeping my hands quiet and only give information when needed, the more he relaxed.
After getting attacked recently my dog is now extremely leash reactive. I really need to work on it because it's now difficult to take her to public places. The second I take her off of the leash, she loves every dog she meets.
I love watching your videos. I’ve done pretty well with my dogs so they don’t have issues like this but I like being reminded of things and shown new things. Theres always something to work on. My younger dog wants to greet other dogs without my say so right now, so we are working on that engagement now too.
Thank you for continuing to put out great videos over and over that continue to teach people about how dogs think. I feel like I’m getting free training classes every time I watch. Very educational and captivating. As usual. Nice work!
I finally got that “tune-up” part right with my dog, makes a HUGE difference when they are engaged. That is a real skill that you teach so well.
Awesome! Thanks Catherine!
I just love watching the transformation of owners and then the dogs relax and say you're okay. Xx
Love this way of working! You’re coaching the boss and the dog listens of course. I’m a bodyworker (coach) and likes to start dog-coaching for people with burn-out.
thank you so much Tom, I absolutely love your videos, and I hope that you are always able to make them. God bless you and your family.
This video explains my German Shepherds reactivity so well! She’s not aggressive at all but when she’s on a leash she is frustrated and doesn’t know what to do so she barks and lunges at other dogs. We take her to the park a lot and doggie daycare and she loves other dogs! She just needs structure and I’m working on her with that.
I just wanna stop by to say I’ve started from your most recent video and have worked my way down this far since yesterday! I have a 6mo old little Corgi and am looking forward to correcting his leash stubbornness using your ways!
Love this man, young, ambitious and an expert at his craft.
Definitely setting the bar for the next generation handlers.
I'm Stoked for the future progression!
Learn so much from you each time i listen. Reactivity issues come up for so many reasons. Appreciate seeing how you approach them. 🐾
I have been a trainer for 30yrs but I really enjoy watching other trainers and with every one of your videos I watch I learn something and new skills that I could apply to a case that is driving me crazy which is what I have now. So this helped me! Thank you!!
this makes so much sense. i absolutely love watching your videos because they have helped me with any problems that have arise with my boy. i really appreciate all your videos
Thanks so much Kaitlyn! :)
Love learning about leash reactivity! Thank you for all of your videos!
Glad you like them!
Honestly learning something new every video from you! Thank you!
Another great lesson for both the dog and his humans. The more I watch your videos, the more the philosophy, the dog’s signals and the way to make appropriate corrections sinks in. Thank you for putting your knowledge out in video for us!
Thanks so much Susan!
This was so helpful and exactly what we needed! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff as always, Tom. Thanks for putting the video up, appreciate it.
Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you Tom! Another great video of skills to work on! Always learning more!!
Thanks Drew! I appreicate you!
Always watching for the reminders.
Thank you Tom for these wonderful videos! 😊
Glad you like them!
Great video! Got some new info to work on my Aussie with. Thanks Tom
Thanks for watching John!
Amazing work thank you for sharing, helps me know I'm training the very similar ways with my customers 🙏
Your videos are absolutely fabulous and your dedication is commendable. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Thanks so much Melissa!
Another great , informative video Tom. Great job : ) Thank you.
This video was a great breakthrough for me cause my boy shows similar behavior he’s “reactive” but has a lot of different tendencies than typical “reactive” dogs as in he really likes dogs and people off leash and this was a great example that shows reactivity isn’t all the same and should not be treated the same!
Thanks Tom 😊
Thank you SO much for posting all of these videos...I am watching and re-watching by the hour to learn how to best work with my shepherd mix...she was surrendered twice so as her third home, I am undoing 5 years of habits. Slow going but your videos are really helping....especially how to properly fit her prong...I had it way too loose. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great videos. So so helpful, thank you
Thank you! Very informative video. Learned not to constantly look for my dog to make a mistake while on walks and just look where I'm going instead. Very basic, but a game changer. Also the fair use of the prong collar... The one perfectly timed pop made it crystal clear what you wanted him to do for you. One pop is more humane than hundreds of micromanaging nagging pulls. Thank you!
You guys are incredible. I've learned so much from you
Thanks, Phil!
Oh yes, I think I have to learn this episode! Thank you, so important🙏👍🙋🏻♀️ from Germany😊
Danke!!
You are the one dog trainer I trust based on your videos and I hope to come see you soon!!
Thanks Donna
Just had this talk and lesson last Wednesday. The dog was easy, the handler is going to take some work, but she got a good start, we'll see what next week will bring.
Dive deeper 💕 love that! Always go deeper, don't just bandaid, scratch the surface.
My dog behaves very similar to this. Thanks for the video.
Awesome, thank you - because of your valuable videos, my own reactive dog now is far, far better on walks. She's a farm guardian and we live very remote, and got her during lockdown etc. - so she used to behave similar to Legend. But now, she even wags her tail when seeing people and dogs on the street - sometimes, at least, but definitely, getting more relaxed.
Thank you for this. I have a rescue, I have been working with for 4 yrs. She was 3 yrs old and not socialize GS. Scared of everything! She has come alone way but still needs work.
Tom is SO GOOD! such a great teacher. i wish you were closer to me. Do you have plans (post pandemic, of course) of doing any training camps? That would be amazing.
Great content!!! Thank you!
Great video. Lots of people make the mistake of tightening up on the leash in anticipation of their dog lunging. It ends up becoming a signal to the dog to be ready rather than stopping the behaviour.
Thanks Sue!
@@tomdavisofficial My girl was anxious/nervous as a pup (was born in foster care and I adopted her at 12 weeks - already was pretty extreme by then). She's 2 now and social butterfly with other dogs. Still wary of strangers though. Baby steps. She's improved a lot. Highly intelligent, high energy, keeps me on my toes. Haha. Love her to bits though. Going to start agility with her next year (that's going to kill me but will be good for her).
Excellent! Thank you.
The correction at 7:05 was so perfectly time. He realised instantly I can’t do that and for the rest of the time was great.
All about the timing!
That was really interesting, I think that could be the problem with my boy sometimes ( he also bounces up and down!) Thank you for all your videos 👍
Good lucky, thanks for wathing!
Wow! What a difference 😂 Makes me wonder if my Pitty is aggressive toward others because of the same thing. Thanks so very much for the fantastic videos!!! Keep up the good work! 😊
Thanks for watching! :)!
Great video. That is how my dog is. Seasons greetings from UK.
Thanks Catherine!
I was glad to see you look for the issues and address that issue. The dog is fine just uneducated. Now owner and dog have tools and education. I work with foundlings. I have had several the past many years. I love my dogs no one else wanted.
The "then who's driving the ship?" comment had me rolling hahah
I cannot stop watching these videos. As a studying technician it is our goal as animal repair experts to see that no animal is the result of economic euthanasia. This helps that so much. Teaching that just because natural behavior is displayed, they shouldn’t be punished by death they should be taught. Thank you for this.
Thank you. My rescue dog is under training, she is the sweetest dog and fast learner and when we stared the training we learned that she is dog reactive.
The structure is stupendous
I have a 3 legged GSD, she will be 2 in Jan. We got her at 2 months and to us she's full of love and a joy. Unfortunately she had an accident that ended in a back leg amputation around 6-7 months and we had to leave her at the vet for maybe 2 weeks for after care.. and ever since she's come home she has seemingly been aggressive towards other dogs.
Prior to her amputation/accident she would go to doggy daycare a couple times a week and she was fine. Always initially skiddish but would always be fine and even play. I would even be able to let her off leash around another dog in the mountains..... Now we have a hard time even taking her to a park because she will bark and lunge toward other dogs (not people) , and we're feeling stuck. She comes across aggressive and scares others which is the biggest issue (because she's truly lovely, obedient to us, follows commands).
Love how well you teach the humans! The dogs are fine!
Is there a way to implement this type of corrective training, without that kind of collar? It is not legal here in Victoria, Australia, to use that kind of collar.
My dog is very reactive on the leash, he just wants to get close to the other dog to sniff them but he has no idea how to do it properly.
@@nataliafuller8308 thanks!
My mistake, it is illegal to import into Australia but not illegal to use. But RSPCA opposes the use of it as untrained people can hurt their dogs using it.
exellent work dude am from ethiopian love ya
My dog have definitely lack of engagement. He isn't luckily agressive towards others dogs but he wants play with all of them and I can't have him off leash that he will run into some another dog mouth. I will do prong and remote collar training now, because his bad engagement is due to poor socialisation. He was abused. But during 8 months I took him at least into state that he is confident and no fearful more. Thank you for video! It's helpful!❤
So excited for another video and great content! ❤🥳
Thanks Lisa!!! ‼️‼️
@@tomdavisofficial absolutely! I speak the truth! Love this ♥️ and the podcasts too!!
Whats up from Cali.. I Always love your videos Tom
Thanks Darlene!
Great segment🤔🙏💞
Glad you enjoyed it
Now i know what mistakes i do! Same problem! Will try this way!
Great information that will be helpful. I’m interested in how you would handle the situation, if after smelling the dog became aggressive? Barking and biting? Thank you!
Thanks so much, Patricia!
My dog shows that same “aggressive” front but actually it’s just the frustration. Can you talk about that more and give more tips for that in social situations, like when he behaves that way towards people??
Thanks homie
"If we all just lost our minds all the time...chaos!" 😆 totally 2020! Sorry, had to point that out! Hehe! Love it, Tom! Perfect explanations, as always!
Thanks so much Lisa!
@@tomdavisofficial always!
Do you have a video on how to work through the frustration of meeting the other dog? My dog is the same way and I would love to have him meet dogs on leash in a calm way.
I would love this same type of video^^^. My dog is similar to the dog in the video. Seems excited and frustrated he can’t meet the other dogs and not sure how to help him meet other dogs in a calm way.
Gracie Mae is protective of me in public and at home. When I have had a seizure, she sits down right next to me and licks my hand. If people approach she may or may not verbalize, depending upon how they do so. She is definitely right on target. She knows when I am okay vs. when I am not okay. When I am safe vs. when I am unsafe. I never trained her to do this. It was purely natural.
love the training you doo. the only thing i have an issue with is the prong in my contry that is illigal too use because of the nails ho diggs in too the dogs skin and hurt them but other than that great work
You're the best! Quick question: I have a small dog that I rescued and he is semi leash reactive. In the past I have "snapped" corrected my dogs but with this guy (10lbs), he has a spine/neck issue so I could never "snap" the leash for correction.
What would be the next best training tool for him?
Are there more videos on the barrier frustration on the leash? My dog has that excited frustration and expresses it with vocals and I don't know where to begin with it...
Yooooo, been following you for a while now. I really like the channel. ESPECIALLY this video. This is something that I see all the time and it bothers me probably just as much as it bothers you. My family makes this mistake. They have two puppies now that when Im around or when im in control of the leash we have no problems but as soon as they "take control" the dog gets extremely wired up and unresponsive to commands. I might have to show them this video honestly ha thanks again keep up the work
Thanks so much!
The dog started looking at him more when he was showing her how to walk with the leash. And once the owner started getting the hang of it, the dog started looking at her more also! 👍👍👍
This small leash u have conected from the correction collar to the id collar. What is it function? I see a lot of ur videos and it pretty take my attention, u have it in every dog.
Thank you so much Tom!!
Any chance you'd do a video on the subtleties of corrections- for ex, how much more strongly you correct if the dog is reacting at a dog/person outside vs. if they don't follow a heel command indoors? We had a trainer tell us that unless the correction was quite intense, the dog would eventually stop caring about it and the prong would lose its power as a tool.. What do you think?
Hi from Michigan! Love the new limited edition hoodie! I just bought one for me and one for Zach!
Awesome!! Thanks so much Heather!
Mitten, Represent! I'm over in The Yak
Another great video just got back From Walking my German Shepherd At the river trails.
Awesome to hear!
OMGOSH! I’m a little bit of every person you work with! 🤦🏼♀️. Thank you for teaching me through others. 🐾🤪
Ha! Love it, thanks for watching! ❤️
Wouldn’t miss it!! 🤗🐾❤️
thanks!
I'm here!! Greetings again from FL
Welcome back!Kim
Hi from Denmark
Hope everybody is healthy. ❤️
I LOVE your videos - the make a huge difference for me... keep up making these helpful videos👍
Loved it Tom. I have the same issue with my lab/ border collie. He is fantastic off leash but is unpredictable on. This will definitely help. Do you have any videos you could point me to that could help with constant whining/ anxiety? My boy doesn’t really have a job so he struggles.
Thomas’s TH-cam channel has a playlist of his videos. That would be the place to start.
Thank you Arne B. Just didn’t know if he had any specific ones he could direct me to.
I love how amazing Lakota is ;-;
Ya killing it
This is so my dog Lana ...This video helped me now...she is vocal like this dog here ....
Our golden gets frustrated and exhibits the same kind of behavior. I would like to see a video that zeroes in on that part of things. This just skipped over it but it’s exactly the topic I want to learn more about. Great video, anyway!
This video hands you most of what you need for frustration based behavior. The leadership skills, and bringing the dog's attention back to you are the main skills you need. The biggest thing: a short lead. it takes the dog 2-3 seconds to go from seeing the other dog to reacting to the other dog. You need to be able to react first. A leash of a foot or less gives you the reaction time you need to say "hey! smarten up" or "come, turn around" I speak from the experience of training a dog who used to have a complete meltdown upon seeing other dogs on leash. I used a simple Martingale, which follows the same correctional concept as the prong, but is safer for a dog prone to panic
Really like this video
