What I absolutely love about these videos is that you see so many dog trainers and experts preach that if you don't train a dog within the first 3-6 months that you lose that window. What you show is that no dog is a lost cause, even if they've had nothing, been abused, mistreated, whatever, if someone is willing to take control and take command, you can help better that dogs life tenfold.
My wife and I used to foster Akitas. It’s not impossible to train, it’s just harder. When you’re training a puppy, you can put them into a position such as sit or down then praise. It’s a longer process with adult dogs simply because you have to out maneuver them.
I need a new service dog, and can't do a puppy again. I'm really hoping to find a shelter dog that can be trained. It's good to know they're not a bigger challenge just cause they're older.
How can some misguided person spend all the monies that a dog like this costs and then not trying to inter act in an appropriate way and try to integrate in to the family as a. Family point of interest of nothing else but to teach the children what happens and respect animals that you own but the attempt to make the dog look tough speak volumes of the owners nature toward dogs ,best of luck with him,from the little I know of this he may well become a nice house dog.
In what world does some idiot think it’s ok to cut a dogs ears
No, there is virtually no lost cause in dogs. Some of them are because they have very danerous habits like attacking children. But for the most part, that is the only lost cause in a dog. Other than that, there are only limitations.
For example, abused dogs will never perform okay in a guarding and protection job. Old dogs will never be the best for crazy obedience and tricks. Dogs that used to fight other dogs for sport will not be the best for homes with lots of dogs or owners that wanna go to the dog park.
And even dogs that have attacked people, those can be corrected, but it is not okay to put a human life at risk to preserve a pet life. It is what it is and humans have the upper hand when it comes to who should we protect the most
@Will Atherton Canine Training Hi Will, I thought you might like to know this.
I've just fit a boiler in this dogs new home. He's now called Sid and is very happy and looking much more healthier! He didn't seem to have any anxiety or behavioural issues at all so is clearly made up to be given a new opportunity on life.
The owners can't thank you and the shelter enough as Sid has been wonderful for them.
❤❤❤❤
Sorry to sound ignorant, what does “fit a boiler” mean? How wonderful that Sid has a new family who loves him. He’s an amazing and sensitive dog, I had tears listening to what people had done to him. It shocks me repeatedly that people are so cruel.
I’m a dedicated subscriber because I love how Will Atherton works with rescues to help dogs get adopted, that’s my dream too even though I’m a petite senior woman. We have several rescue dogs in our pack at home (in Florida) and have room for one more so next week we are scheduled for a meet and greet with some GSDs to see if one of them will fit into a our family. I am so grateful for Will who not only helps these dogs be a better version of themselves but helps us too by teaching us to become better, kinder, wiser dog trainer versions of ourselves.

Terrific news... thanks for the update on Sid 💙
@@PARoth2011 I think they care called Furnaces in the USA, we call them boilers.
As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
This is why I have the utmost respect for you. This amazing boy was so abused and neglected. The cruelty of others has cost him so much.
I volunteer in a shelter here in California. We have many adoptions every week, but very very few are larger breeds like Shepherds, and pit bulls. This boy would never have had a chance where I work. You've shown all of us that a rather scarry looking dog, of a feared breed can actually be a very sweet, loving animal. I see from the comments, he was adopted, and the new owners love him. You've done a beautiful thing, Will. Congratulations! You've inspired me to try something similar, but not being a certified trainer, I really don't know if anyone at the shelter would take me seriously. I've watched enough of your videos to know how to guide adoters the correct way, but without certification, they are not going to let me be associated with the organization. I do feel that offering training classes to those who adopt large breed dogs would increase the number of adoptions, and save many lives.
After such an awful start to this boy’s life, I’m so glad you found him and with love and kindness - and of course your skills as a trainer - can turn it all around for him so his future will be a happy one. Bless you for the wonderful work you’re doing 🥰
Even my perfectly hearing dog responds to hand signals for most of his commands even when I don’t use the verbal command too. It’s a very powerful tool to have even with hearing dogs! It means that if we are in a very noisy environment he still has very clear signals and knows what I’m asking of him. Really loving your videos, not only are they helpful but get my enthusiasm for training right up!
Same, my dog isn’t deaf but knows all of his hand signals as well. I can be 100 metres away and do the sit hand signal and he will.
That’s what we started with our rescue, unintentionally we would use a closed first in the air when saying sit and she started to sit when we did the sight and no verbal. So we started expanding on the hand signals with other training like back and lay down
Thank you for giving this poor, abused dog a second chance at a good life. I wish you would provide an up-date on him.
What kind of person can hurt a living creature this way!!! Thank you, Will, for proving that for every cruel and stupid person there is a bunch of compassionate and knowledgeable people like you and your team who can and will outnumber cruelty and help to heal innocent animals.
dont be thanking him!!! one of the worst trainers in uk!!
Not surprised its a merle. A lot of fashion colored dogs are bred by the most low quality breeders and sold for top dollar to the worst quality owners.
@@madmandy86 what makes u say that then?
@@madmandy86 Lady, your dog is overweight and you never have her on a leash. Stop hating on balanced trainers. You also mislabel your badly bred American Bulldog as a Pit Bull on tik tok. I bet you also think prongs are evil and that "Pit Bull" is an umbrella term.
Heartbreaking start, I don't know how human beings can hurt an animal 💔 but what a lucky lucky boy to have fell into your hands Will 💙
You trained that dog like he already knew it all and just needed reminders which is extremely impressive. I also feel like he is a very very smart dog and that helped him be able to understand that you were there to help him and that him following your lead was all he needed to focus on. Thank you for rescuing him.
Hearing about his ears and burns made me almost burst into tears 🥺😢 this poor poor baby..and such a sweet boy already from the start. Happy to give kisses to people..and ppl he don’t ereally even yet..is at least a pretty good sign to me. For any dog to go thru what he did, his first years in life..what he’s experienced at the hands of people..I would expect and opulent blame him to not trust anyone, let alone be friendly and give out kisses. His potential seems to be outta this world..and so happy for that and for him..means he’s got another chance at a fantastic, healthy, and loving kind of life still, for himself!!☺️🙏🏻🥰
I LOVE when Will works with dogs like this😁🙏💛
I find it very helpful to see how you work with your Staffy's. I always learn and I thank you. I rescued a Lab/Staffy and it took me a long time to not only understand her needs and to understand how to best work with her. It took hiring a professional trainer to teach me, but after 9 months we are now dialing in the way we need to be. Inspite of her bad habits my girl is loving, loyal and sweet and coming along well. I am her world AND SHE IS MINE. Yes, add more in this series, please.
Great Tips and Advice. I have an Abused GSD, just needed a firm loving owner. She has come out her shell and now seeks out people. She was Scared stiff when I got her. She cried when I picked her up, she had sore ribs and kept to herself. Now She is the first of my dogs to greet me in the morning or when she sees me. She will always be lame but she tries to keep up with the other dogs.
That’s so sad that dogs are treated the way this poor baby was in his former life. I’m so glad that you took this angel and that you are helping him know what a nice life can be and will be with you training him and also showing him what love is and leadership looks like with leading and love. Thank you for helping dogs like this, God Bless you 🙏🏼♥️🤍
The dog has a great temperament! Especially after he has been through terrible circumstances. I hope he is a firm member of a very good family now.
It is heartbreaking 💔 to see the condition of this dog but I am so grateful Will that you have him now even if only for a week~I look forward to following this journey!! Thanks for all you do for the animals!
Number 2, I love the new branding channel.
Now, to Number 1, you have a golden heart Will, a brilliant mind too, but your heart is full of love.
The very first moment he looked at you I got goose bumps.
I've been watching you for about 4-5 years now, every single minute was a delightful one.
Much love my brother
His coat reminds me of a friend’s cathahoula leopard dog. So handsome! My recent rescue girl is a little, approx 3yo, 40lb staffy x shar Pei who has already had at least two litters of pups according to her intake records, and was taken along with multiple other dogs from a “sharpit” breeding operation. They were all kept on chains outside and were malnourished, riddled with ring worm, and filthy. My girl has a significant scar on her neck from the chain. Regardless, she is a very sweet, social girl, but very afraid. She is also as stubborn as a mule, and when outside, even after three months, still barely makes eye contact and is on high alert the entire time. These rescue dogs, especially the ones with medical and abuse considerations, can be very hard work, but it’s always worth it. Thank you for giving this boy a hand up!
You are helping me build the confidence to get my first dog. The world needs more amazing dog trainers like you ♥️🐾
Have you got your dog yet?? 🙂
So far, based on what I've watched, this video demonstrates best your expertise with dogs.
We got a new rescue few months back. Ours was left in a crate in the woods and she has similar burns/stained fur and was skin in bones.
Been watching your videos and working on training. She is the sweat dog and is now a healthy weight and a little spoiled
same coat as my supposed cane corso but mine is only 7 months and a bit bigger still training he is very stubborn
Hi Will, just started watching your vids, I qualified as a dog trainer with imdt 14years ago but have not been actively training for 10 years.
It's really good to see you showing how effective positive reinforcement is in a practice way that anyone can see and follow and your demonstration of active correction clearly shows that you're not 'punishing the dog..
Your vids are great for me to recap the fundamentals as I'm being asked to train fogs allot now since the announcement of the new legislation targeting xl bully type breeds. I've already saved 3 xl bully's from being put down by helping the owners fully understand the deliberately convoluted government laws/guidelines and doing some basic training with them to help with lead walking, muzzle training and general 'loving leadership' as you put it.. keep up the good work mate, If I had the space I'd have a sanctuary/kennels just for unrehomable dogs and any dogs I couldn't get trained for rehoming I'd keep to live full happy lives
This dog seems to have high intelligence. It was a joy to watch him be in a totally new, beautiful, and controlled environment.
such a beautiful dog
such a shame that he'd been neglected .so grateful for people like you helping dogs like him be able to find forever homes
Well done Will, what a handsome dog, let’s hope he ends up in a loving family home
Just found your channel, really enjoyed this video. It's wonderful to see humans using their innate goodness and kindness to help other life forms. You clearly have a gift for this. Thank you for helping this dog and giving it the best possible shot at a new life.
Afternoon, thank goodness for you, look how much love he has to give. We have taken on a nine month old Doberman after we lost our Doberman back in December. We know very little about him but he hasn’t been socialised. He is like two different dogs in the house to outside or in the car. We cannot get him to connect to us at all outside and is just like a steam train. Even going to do his business in the garden he paces. He is nearly a year old now and still walks are hell and he is so strong. We can’t get him to trust us 😔
Wow. I am struggling to get my 6 month old puppy to focus on me and walk nicely on a lead amazing to see a dog like this can get that in such a short space of time
I love how such a tough-looking guy says so seriously: "I'm gonna build relationship", like he's on a deadly serious mission and it's such a warm loving thing that he's doing
This poor little guy is so adorable I directly fell in love!
I’m new to your channel. I’m bingeing on your content! We lost our precious Labrador in August. She was 12. We are getting a new puppy soon so I am rewatching a lot of puppy training videos of yours which are fab!
a deaf dog is a great example for vibration collar training. It would be amazing for the recall training in the field. It wouldn't be able to hear your call, but it could feel the vibration and know its time to come back.
I would like to show some of your videos to my girlfriend and family but they don't speak english. Do you mind me adding some Spanish subtitles here and there? Thank you for what you do and for loving it. Every dog owner should watch you. My best wishes to you sir.
What a great bloke. Giving these dogs the opportunity’s they deserve. Awful how some people treat animals, good to know there’s people like you doing some good to counter it❤️
Absolutely beautiful pup. His intelligence is very obvious. A great little lad that anyone would be lucky to have as a pack mate :)
What you are doing with dogs is just amazing. God bless you and wish you nothing but success
Bless you. And the pup. 🐶
Here after watching Jason Cory. Great video! So happy to see a rejected and neglected old boy receive love and proper training which will ensure he has a happy life🙂
Thank you for showing your training with a deaf dog. I've a deaf rescue Dogo I just got. It's nice to see all these needed trainings with one dog & not try to piece things together & hope to get it correct. Very much appreciated!
This mate did great for his first training! I can't wait to see more! His coat is beautiful. I'm sad he's lived a rough life thus far. He's so lucky to be in your care!
Are you using a prong with him?
@@jfoster9737 it looks like he is using an herm sprenger in the video
You definitely are a kind human being. I felt so sad for the poor dog and glad that he found you. Great job!
Any updates on this boy? You’re awesome Will for fostering and helping him. Amazing transformation. Hope he found a loving home 🏡 🙏🤞
Mia, See the reply from Martyn Woolvine 4 mths ago.❤
@@ruthgrosvenor4273 Thank you, just saw it!
What a beautiful little pup! You’re doing such an incredible job helping dogs like this, bless you! ❤️🤗
Your videos helped me train my dog. My family was seriously considering returning him to the pound. He’s now a loving, obedient member of our family. Thank you!
Thank you for giving this dog the time and care he deserves. Keep up the good work!
Lovely dog, he is. Thank you for saving his life and giving him quality of life.
What a fantastic dog trainer! Since I recently acquired a dog, I’m enjoying all of Will’s training videos.
Wow what a great idea for a series. Thank you for all your hard work
I just wanted to way that you and upstate are my favorite dog training channels.
For infections in dogs, horses, and cattle, I've found that spraying the infected area with colloidial silver is often times as effective as or more effective than antibiotics. And the colloidial silver spray can be used with the antibiotics as well. A couple of squirts on the infected area a few times a day is all that's needed.
Couldn’t be more excited for this series!
What an awesome episode! I won’t be surprised if you’re the one to adopt him! If you aren’t the no1 behaviourist in the world you should be!
Will, you are a very substantial presence, emotionally and physically. And the thing that very much impresses me about you, is that you are a kind and caring man, who truly cares about the dogs, and comes from that compassionate presence. You don't use your size to diminish or intimidate when training dogs. I know how hard it can be....I have a Husky mix, for two years, and we are still working on walking on the leash without pulling, and sometimes I can get pretty annoyed, but try to remain calm. I am just a 120 lb. woman with a 55 lb. dog, and good thing she doesn't weigh more, because she is like a bull! Just very strong, and it's like that is her job, to walk out in front, and pull hard. I know those aren't are definitely the wrong things to do, and it is a constant practice with her to work on that....I am trying every time I take her out, and that is a lot. We walk at least, 4 miles per day, and then go on hikes that are longer. Her breed is partly why she does what she does, and I want to respect that too but I know unless she can always walk on a leash gently with me, that's where the basics start...She is a rescue, we went through heart worm treatment and Lyme disease, and now she is feeling so much better.
A lot of training videos iv seen never really mentioned what to use as the reward system. My mom thought when they said reward them with a treat they were talking about dog treats. Nope it's ration their full days worth of food through out the day, as the reward. Makes way more sense the way you explain it.
great video love the positive, assertive energy you are able to express, excellent teaching skills great work!
Great video! It is great to see how much difference you can make in a dog's life in 24 hours. I look forward to seeing the next video with this dog.
Wonderful vid showing all the basics to build leadership and bonding. Love this !
After watching alot of your videos I love to see the quick changes in your dogs through enjoyment of them wanting to do whats asked. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for highlighting a problems of why lots of dogs are put into rescue each day :)
Sweet boy, even after his horrendous treatment before he was rescued. Thanks, Will, for helping him.
So beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. You are the best training!
Incredible work! Bless you for helping dogs like this sweet boy who end up in tough situations through no fault of their own. ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing work, Will - this boy's new owner is going to be so lucky; plus they'll have these videos with you training him for reference.
Bless him. Dogs like this are so rewarding when handled right.
that dog looks so happy in the end, wow thats impressive.
Love this! I naturally used a sit hand signal with my rescue but like the eye contact gesture so will try that too. Thanks.
bless you for helping these sweet dogs !
What a superb video, and a fabulous example of how to welcome a dog into your household. Bless the wee fella, a rough start but having the 2nd chance given in such a manner.
What an amazing dog, such a sad start too life but is so luckily to have someone like you looking after him and showing him how he can still have a happy and joyful life, i think i can speak for everyone when i say thank you for giving this dog a second chance at life he truly deserves it! Hopefully the right owners come along to give this boy the best life he can live, a follow up story on him would be greatly appreciated
Your videos bring me to tears nearly every time. They make me so happy seeing a dog like this becoming such a happy loved pet for someone. Amazing life changing work ❤
Fairly new to your channel, but this is such a great thing to do. Taking a pup from the kennels that is lacking in basic training and from such a poor life so far and giving him/her the skills and love to go into life as a great pet. Great idea for a youtube series, great thing to do in general!
I love when trainers do these kinds of videos showing those who faces changes or wanna adopt special needs dogs a guide that is just not a common video to find on training. Dogs like this were my #1 while working in a shelter I refused to let them not pass their evaluation. I came in early, stayed late and some dogs spent lunch w/ me. I love to see a trainer stepping up when it comes to foster dogs!❤❤❤
I love this!
Helping dogs and people is why I got into dog training professionally.
I love it!
Awww I do hope this beautiful boy found the perfect new home he deserves the best life. Love what you do Will
What an awesome video! I asked a while back if you had any training ideas for deaf dogs, like my one year old Comet, who was born deaf. You definitely came through.
We're in the midst of training our almost 6 month weimaraner mix to be a perfect gentleman and so far he's doing really well. We're working on leash manners and I'm always worried about being too rough but I think in reality I'm a little soft sometimes, watching this gave me some great pointers!!
What wonderful work! I'm excited to see what will become of this wonderful dog in the end. That's how it is sometimes: a horror that turns into something wonderful thanks to compassionate people like you. My endless respect for this work and a thousand thanks for sharing your knowledge. Learned so much here that helps me build an even better relationship with our three dogs (all rescued ;). Thanks
I loved watching this. I need to learn so my dog doesn't start into bad behaviors that I didn't realize I was allowing. Thank you do much.
Beautiful work! Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant trainer. Love the videos
Thank you for everything you do Will. Great video.
I just found your videos and have started using these tactics with a one year old bullmastiff cross that we brought home from the humane society. Within a few hours, I’ve been able to build significant trust between the dog and myself and feel that he is getting set up for success. So grateful for these videos!
Great videos - love how clearly you explain to viewers and your dog. Can't wait to see more on this sweetheart! Reminds me a lot of my last dog, who was a Corso X with butchered, home job ears and nerve damage on the side of his face (we assume from being hit). He was a neglect case that nearly died of heartworm and was left with heart damage. We had him nearly a year before losing him to complications from his DCM medication. When I went to meet him, he was shut down, suspicious, and stand offish. We went back a few days later to pick him up and the second he walked out that door, leash in my hand, he did a 180. He never let on for one second that he had been horrifically abused and was hands down the best dog I've ever had. Miss him everyday.💔
Wish this one could be shipped across the pond. 🌎
Thank you so much for this! Ive had experience with training dogs, im no professional, but i have helped friends stop their dogs pulling etc.... and one of my neighbours is deaf, and so is his dog, and he has trouble keeping the dog calm and walking to heel, i never even thought of this touch method with the leash.. its genius! I will be waiting for all the episodes in this series, if i can pick up a few good tips from you to help my friend.. it would be amazing, again, thank you so much for this, and helping this poor boy, he needs some lovin, and he found it with you, setting him up for a forever home
Thank you for these positive training strategies! I have an adopted dog now for a year who is my world already. Since watching this he sits and waits until I tell him to eat now to do the other basics. Love your work and look forward to accomplishing more with my dog 😊
Amazing training! Great to watch
I was always so grateful that I’d been encouraged to use but verbal and hand signals when our old golden retriever went deaf. It’s so easy to do with a hearing dog, but could be a life saver later in a dog’s life 👍 Great video 👏👏🇬🇧
You are a good person, way to many people all over the world abusing or giving up dogs because they are lazy and did not expect a pup to be that much work.
Will, this is one the very best videos I have ever watched. THANK YOU! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also work with "difficult" dogs.
Absolutely fantastic video Will.
Amazing what the dog accomplished in 24 hours.
Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much for doing this kind of video and also fostering dogs like this. It always breaks my heart when the animal has to take the consequences for their owners's lack of responsibility and knowledge. Many dog owners either do not understand or even know how important good leadership is for any dog or don't know how to do it correctly. By educating your viewers, people like you help make the world a better place, seriously.🤘
Dear Will, Marvellous. You are so positive towards this dog, beautiful to watch. I'm learning all the while. Mark
Wonderful, thank you and looking forward learning from you
Omg I love him! He's beautiful, and this video has given me some helpful tips moving forward with my baby girls training ❤ thank you
Thank you for what you do Will!
Well done mate - what a cracking little lad that dog is!
Absolutely amazing training video... Definitely in the Top 5
Really impressive training xx
This is fantastic Will. Really sad how this lovely boy was treated. I hope he found the right forever home.
