I think you've captured in words the core of Tom. He seems to be a humble decent person, aware of the meaning of life and someone with a purpose. And I admire that. 👍
I feel the anxiousness of the owner, and being honest, I'm just like that 😂 It's hard to remember to be calm and do the things you've been training, even more with a dog so energetic lol
The dogs are the real teachers sometimes, they succeed through your success. Being aware of yourself, them, and your surroundings is a skill, and how you can impact your surroundings too.
I completely agree, that has been the most difficult for me and my maligator also.....and shes got SUCH high energy lmao. Super reactive and I am uncomfortable with mine around people also. My situation sounds so much like this one. Mine is so anxious and it makes me very 😔 sad.
This woman is like so many of us. I love her honesty and drive to learn. Thank you for kindly explaining the TIMING, the analogy of being like MAGNETS was wonderful!! Great video for showing how the energy transmits down the leash. Beautiful and intelligent dog too.
I loved this video. As a college student, I can’t afford your training right now, but these videos help my dog and I continue to benefit. I hope some day we will be able to meet you!
Tom Davis and his pod casts have litterly changed my life. I adopted an aggressive, sacred, reactive year and some change terrier a little over 3 weeks ago. When I first got her she was charging, thrashing, snapping and essentially one of the most scared and intimidating animals I have ever met in my life. I have followed Tom's advice and use of dog training tools that he gives freely on his podcasts and TH-cam videos. Fast forward a short 3 weeks and we can walk outside with no incidents, she's has not started a fight with my other dog in over a week, she has stopped trying to eat my cat and is well on her way to being a fully integrated family/pack member. Thank you. For all you do for the #nobaddogs community Thank you for the soild advice and Nyla thanks you for a second lease at life.
That owner did well. Trying to get rid of that anxiety when your dog is reactive takes time, but as your confidence builds, it will get better. At first you have to tell yourself to relax and after some time, you just automatically do when things start going well with the obedience. That’s one of many things I have accomplished with the help of these videos.
I’ve listened to other trainers discuss walking with a dog on a lead…so far I think Tom Davies explains things a lot clearer. He’s also very realistic, I.e. this won’t happen overnight…you have to work at it. He truly sets you up to succeed
Tom, your ability to use analogies that make everything so relatable, is unlike anyone else. It really makes everything make sense and easy for people to understand. Also, Ruby's tail wag after a correction is the best. She understands!
It was nice seeing the owner calm down along with her pup. She started to add in more verbal praise towards the end which helped tons & it was awesome to watch.
I am glad that even though my pup is reactive, he is not reactive in an aggressive way. Originally, I was in the whole force-free camp until I realized it was not working for my dog and was even causing behavioral issues to develop. I really had to open my mind and realize my dog needed a different type of training than I was giving him. Tom's videos have helped me so much! I feel more comfortable using tools that I shied away from originally specifically the prong collar and e-collar. It made me realize that for my dog to truly thrive off-leash, with his reactivity, that he needs things like the e-collar! Thank you so much Tom for helping me feel more comfortable training my dog in a way that is going to give him the best life possible! P.S. love seeing Lakota being a goofy girl! It reminds me of my goof!
I have a heeler mix with high prey drive. He finally has recalled on deer. And 1 cat. Working on bunny rabbits. Squirrel are his hardest. But took him out to a field with cows he's never been around cows. He was herding them perfectly. He moved them no problem. From far away. It was awesome to see the natural instincts.
That’s so awesome! I’ve got a heeler that I’m about to start on an e-collar. Deer are a big one for him, and rabbits, and ducks, occasionally a coyote, cars are his number one though. He’s a very ambitious lad 🤦🏼♀️ Wish us luck! 🤞🏻
I'm a retired Certified Professional Trainer. Just wondering how you got started and got your training? So nice for people to have your videos on here. Merry Christmas and best wishes with your continued success. There are NO BAD DOGS!! Just uneducated masters!
I remembered he shared that he was a dog walker, and then a animal control officer. Friends noticed how well he worked with dogs, and then he shadowed trainers. I could be fuzzy on all the details, but hopefully he will reply. 🐕🦺🦮❤️
You’re the ultimate dog translator/ human educator it’s so seamless and amazing to watch you work with these dogs. Floating through the room is such a great explanation to teach us as humans to stay calm, breathe and lead 🙌🏼
I just love that your approach is tailored to each individual dog. It seems so obvious, but I see so many trainers preaching a one size fits all method. Combining different methods I've seen from your videos is what helped our dog immensely!
Hi from Qc, I'm a horse educator/trainer and It's a pleasure to watch you teach and train people!! It's a total challenge to be able to teach ''animal lovers'' how to respect the ''ABC''' of communication. You are an amazing trainer. You're a PRO Thanks
We've followed Tom's training methods since we got our dog. He was crazy ....after being in a shelter for two years. He is coming along just fine at this point. Thanks for the information Tom. Thanks for all your hard work.
I've adopted 2 siblings 1 & 1/2 years ago, and just 2 weeks in I was certain it would never work out and was about to give up. All teared up, I was unable to do it and somehow it has been working out. The reason: I found content like Tom's which keeps showing me light at the end of the tunnel. Really appreciate the work you're putting in!
Treat fearful dogs the same as dog reactive dogs. Blocking the line of sight follow Tom's footwork in a lot if videos. I do more identification but you don't need to it is a way to desentize (man, woman w groceries, baby or child, dog) still all the same confidence building skills
Lakota shaking on her leash!! 😍😍😂 Sooo sweet! Ruby has a big heart, she changed her whole attitude once she realised she was being given a job to do 😍😍 she was so keen!
This is hands down an awesome leash walking video! Most other dog trainers on TH-cam have video's that are mostly dialogue and little actual demonstrations. This shows step by step, with great visuals and explanations to each step, which I find very helpful ❤️🐼
This is way more realistic than the positive only trainers I used to watch. There's no way you can teach loose leash walking with just treats and praise. Such a great teacher with easy and clear instructions. Thank you Tom for putting out these amazing videos
The owner did such a great job, she really was willing to learn while being realistic. I totally get her anciety, I feel the same some days with my shiba.
I could see the owner was the problem in less than 10 seconds of this. She gave commands in a fearful voice, not assertive. I can’t wait to see Tom help the dog.
Such a clear example of how energy can (and does) go up AND down the leash! It was very interesting to see this duo's progress! Poor Ruby not getting a reciprocated play bow from the stuffed dog near the end! Her expression made me literally LoL, but the situation illustrated the progress Ruby is making! SBK's "guest appearance" in the background, holding her lead and laser focused on you was a cute bonus!
I love the relaxed starfish doggo! always great when the owners ask questions that are more for what they are doing not what the dog is doing! awesome video as usual! Thank you so much!
First off Lakota with the waggi butt and leash in the mouth, priceless. I have been watching these videos ever since our foster fail joined our life. I look forward to the day when we can actually walk by other dogs on the other side of the street.
I have had 10 other dogs in my lifetime. I am now a 72 year old senior with a mixed Breed rescue dog. Had her since she was a puppy but she is still reactive on a leash in spite of all the walks and socializing we have done. I am trying your methods but still need some work myself. Thank you. This is the 1st reactive dog I have had.
I thought that I had good recall with my rescue dog after many months of training proofing him through distractions. We were out on a hike and he must have spotted something in the woods and took off up a mountain getting lost. I lost him for over an hour and it was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced! Luckily he was sitting by the car when I got back to the parking lot but I thought I was never going to see my dog again. This experience really made me understand how important e-collar training is. Having that safety net is so important to ensure your dogs safety. I would love one of your Tom Davis e-collars to give my dog back that off leash freedom that he once had and loved so much!
Oh Tom, I feel a little like blessed that I have found your lessons of dog handling. I have a wonderful dog, but she's very reactive on walks, everything catches her attention and this video really woke me up! Your way of teaching things is telling the owners every side of the problems so that nothing is left unsolved and I love it! Thank you from both of us!
I feel the stress she is dealing with. My wife and I have a 4 year old "Bully" that has become overprotective/ is resource guarding on leash during walks. We are learning thanks to these videos and getting ideas for what is and isn't effective.
What people tend to forget including me sometimes is something Joel Beckman said. "Never not have fun with your dog. Always have fun with your dog." And you can see it in Tom, the way he moves, the way he turns around it's like a dance. And we don't dance because it's necessary. We dance because it's fun! I'm suffering from depression and I always strive to have fun with my dog. No excuses! Hope that helps someone.
It's so nice to see owners willing to acknowledge and work through their own challenges. I don't mean that in any negative way! Tom has a very kind and compassionate way of helping people learn things they didn't know or understand before. It's beautiful to watch! Everyone comes out a winner....owner, dog, and Tom!💖
I love seeing not only your skill training dogs but your amazing ability to break down the subtleties of your methods and communicate things in such a clearly understandable way. I'm hoping to get an ecollar for my dog soon. The prong has been a life changer! Lakota with the leash just begging you to take it is too cute
I have a dog walking business, I have all kinds of dog personalities. The tips and training you offer are indispensable. I have learned so much from you. Some of my dog owners can’t believe how well their dog acts with me and think I have super power 😆. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You truly have a gift with humans and dogs.
I am dealing with my worst case of fear aggression in a dog doing a reverse board and train. Your videos have not only helped me but my clients love you. Thank you for everything you do. Paw-Ease
I really liked this owner, she seemed very aware of the problems at hand, and very good at listening and adapting to instructions from Tom, and I especially liked how she wasn’t aiming for perfection, just reality. Well done to all of them!
I feel like we all have already won!!! Thank you Tom, you have helped me with my half huskie-half Labrador. She gets sketchy with anyone she doesn't recognize. We've had her since she has been 5 weeks. We weren't aware that she was not near weaning yet, then my elderly Staffy freaked out in the car with us all one time, every since Luna has been super nervous and creepy to people. I don't know that she won't bite someone, the unpredictable aspect scares me alot. I could never allow my animals to bully and scare my friends and guests. I do prefer her to stay protective, I'm just needing to improve my skills and her focus on me, then she will pick up on my energy more I hope and she'll recognize the routine. She is very smart and we adore her, so if she were to hurt someone she's doomed. I can't let such an amazing dog suffer because I selfishly thought she was pretty and didn't study her needs first.
Great video again Tom & editor.. Wish I was still in the 518 to get session with my pup..a little reactive at times but we are working on it. Downtown with tons of people/dogs, or at the dog park..completely fine ignores people..gets pets. Walking down a single quiet street and sees one person and the barking starts. We will get there! Keep up the good work
The owner is making me anxious just watching her talk and handle Ruby 🙈 so sweet, dog and owner. Really lovely to watch Tom try and guide them gradually both to calmness... Definitely a high revving doggy. But also a high revving owner! They're meant for each other 😂 but harness that productively and it good be a beautiful long term relationship! Yeesh you also can't OVER praise that dog. Love how every dog is so different in sensitivity. Would love to see this pair now! Tom give updates on previous clients in the future! A compilation of before and afters!!!
So glad I found this channel. I have run horse boarding facilities for 30 years; I remember when positive training only first seeped into horse training- only from people who did not have to handle the horse on a daily basis. Finally learned how to explain to the women who own the horses how to think of showing love to your horse. It’s by making them feel safe by being a fair calm leader and showing them what is expected., not by nervously shoving carrots in their face every 5 seconds to try and bribe them into doing something. Thanks so much for making these videos!
My dog has developed barrier frustration/reactivity since putting him on a prong, watching your videos has helped me become calmer and everyday I see the improvement, in me and him. We have a long way to go, but we are getting there. 🥰 Thank you for helping so many learn to be better leaders.
#Dogtra280c Fan over here in NJ with a reactive Olde English Bulldogge. You are truly gifted Tom! Thank you for being so detailed in each and every one of your videos. You keep no secrets. You are saving so many dogs this way! Thank you!
I can’t stop watching Tom’s videos. I’m learning so much on how to extend and improve my dogs basic skills. I’d love to up ,y training even more with his e collar!!
Always nice to see a seemingly untrainable dog make a break through, keeping up with all your videos because I want to be a dog trainer like you. feels like my calling.
Love and watch all your videos. I adopted a 2 yr old shepherd mix last year. All my dogs were adopted, but never were any part shepherd. I was at a loss understanding my big boy. Your videos were a God-send. Following them, now not only do I understand him, I TRUST him and he is truly part of the family. Bless you!!! P.S. Would love to be put in the drawing for your give-away training videos. Me and my boy still have a few issues to resolve and I know watching them would help us. Thank you.
The dog is a direct mirror of our energy. One has to be willing to look inward to see where the problem may lie, even in part. This has made me grow as a person. We don't always get the dog we want, we get the dog we need!
I really like this owner. She seems really self aware, and like she'd be a gem to work with. She doesn't seem anxious to me at all. I have horrible anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I can see anxiety in a lot of other people...I don't see too much of it in her. She seems really nice, and willing to learn and apply. Not too many owners/people out there like that anymore. I don't see how you can do it. I'm a groomer, and I hate the amount of time I have to deal with owners as it is...I couldn't deal with owners as much as you do. Yikes. But I'm sure you like people more than I do. 🙃❤️
Needed these tips today since our little boy is hitting his "teenage" months and has crazy burst of energy. Keep up the fantastic work, always something to learn from you, Tom. :)
My dog is not reactive, but he had serious food guarding/aggression (I used to be a purely positive camp memeber) I used Tom's methods to implement obedience and I am at a point where I can get him off any peice of food and get him to come to me.... Planning to get an e-collar in the future to work with him and get him off food that he is extremely attracted to. Thanks a lot Tom for all this knowledge, love from India.
These owners are actually good handlers, they just needed some guidance. My dog can be reactive when passing another dog, especially if the other dog is high energy or aggressive. So moving my dog off the trail, asking for a sit, stay and letting the other dog pass has always been what worked for my guy.
My German shepherd is 11 months old now and I’ve used your videos to help him through his reactivity. We have come so far and I don’t think I would have ever used the prong collar without your videos, I always thought they were cruel. Thank you for educating me! ❤️
I always learn something new to think about and apply to me and my dog’s training when I watch these videos. Great reminder to always work on building your relationship.
These videos are helping me train my puppy so much! She’s not growling or barking at other dogs on our walk now and super good on a leash for being 17 weeks old. These videos also show me how I should act as well too and it’s helped a lot!
Ruby is adorable! I didnt hear owner say 'Leave It' when Ruby would start to fixate. I know I dont see the whole picture either. She looks nervous too (as I know I would be, knowing cameras and other people watching...). The transformation in both of them, is amazing to watch. Good on the owner on not giving up 😊
God that dog is asking to be given direction. Look at the eye contact throught he whole video. That pup is begging for instruction. Great video. Im sure it'll come together for them pretty quick thanks to Tom!
I just finished training a dog like this - literally almost ripped my 🐔 off with that “frenzy brain” - literally took me like 1 1/2 months dude. Love watching your content man you’re a beast and a king stay blessed!
For the past month or so ive been applying stuff I have learned from these videos to my male pup that didnt get to get out and be socialized too much due to covid and I've seen him change so much in such a short time, its really about ME learning more then him. I can't thank you enough for sharing all the knowledge you do share and loving animals the way you do. :)
Loved Ruby, big powerful girl that has lacked structure. The owner has worked hard in the training with Tom and a big change in both their demeanours was noticeable.
Tom Davis has a rare mix of skill and humility.
He educates both the dog & the owner, but HE is also always learning.
thank you very much for these kind words ❤
YOU WON!!!! DM ME ON IG @nobadogs!
@@tomdavisofficial I'm old and don't know how 😑. I'll ask my kids!!!!
Yes, Tom Davis is like an exceptional good wine: getting always better with time
I think you've captured in words the core of Tom.
He seems to be a humble decent person, aware of the meaning of life and someone with a purpose. And I admire that. 👍
Saving people and their dogs one relationship at a time 🥳
Also Lakota shaking the leash on the couch lol hilarious
Much love, thanks for watching, Brianna!
I feel the anxiousness of the owner, and being honest, I'm just like that 😂 It's hard to remember to be calm and do the things you've been training, even more with a dog so energetic lol
It is hard
The dogs are the real teachers sometimes, they succeed through your success.
Being aware of yourself, them, and your surroundings is a skill, and how you can impact your surroundings too.
@@MoMountainMutts For sure! We learn so much with them...
1000% I picked up my boy from daycare and there was a new guy. Immediately started feeling nervous and anxious and my boy felt it immediately 😂
I completely agree, that has been the most difficult for me and my maligator also.....and shes got SUCH high energy lmao. Super reactive and I am uncomfortable with mine around people also. My situation sounds so much like this one. Mine is so anxious and it makes me very 😔 sad.

Looks like she really wants to do the right thing…she was calm when you showed her mom how to be calm. 👍

Watching Kota being so intent on Tom is adorable ! But it also shows how much she loves and respects Tom as an owner
That owner did well. Trying to get rid of that anxiety when your dog is reactive takes time, but as your confidence builds, it will get better.

That’s one of many things I have accomplished with the help of these videos.
It’s great to see how much this helps an anxious dog.
The owner was correct in how we feel sometimes work and don’t see progress but her enthusiasm after some results was refreshing
It's great when you see desire to learn in the owner. That's one of the most important things
I’ve listened to other trainers discuss walking with a dog on a lead…so far I think Tom Davies explains things a lot clearer. He’s also very realistic, I.e. this won’t happen overnight…you have to work at it. He truly sets you up to succeed
The way you explain stuff to your clients is really clear and comparisons to a toddler are really good.
Tom, your ability to use analogies that make everything so relatable, is unlike anyone else. It really makes everything make sense and easy for people to understand. Also, Ruby's tail wag after a correction is the best. She understands!

Timing is everything! I watch Tom’s videos over and over and still always learning something new to apply on my personal training w my dog!

I really liked this owner, she seemed very aware of the problems at hand, and very good at listening and adapting to instructions from Tom, and I especially liked how she wasn’t aiming for perfection, just reality. Well done to all of them!
Ruby is the sweetest puppins! What a good girl!
❤️❤️❤️🐕🦺 Lakota melts my heart each time she’s filmed. Hanging onto her lead, ready to work. 🥰
I feel like we all have already won!!! Thank you Tom, you have helped me with my half huskie-half Labrador. She gets sketchy with anyone she doesn't recognize. We've had her since she has been 5 weeks. We weren't aware that she was not near weaning yet, then my elderly Staffy freaked out in the car with us all one time, every since Luna has been super nervous and creepy to people. I don't know that she won't bite someone, the unpredictable aspect scares me alot. I could never allow my animals to bully and scare my friends and guests. I do prefer her to stay protective, I'm just needing to improve my skills and her focus on me, then she will pick up on my energy more I hope and she'll recognize the routine. She is very smart and we adore her, so if she were to hurt someone she's doomed. I can't let such an amazing dog suffer because I selfishly thought she was pretty and didn't study her needs first.
Great video again Tom & editor..
Wish I was still in the 518 to get session with my pup..a little reactive at times but we are working on it.
Downtown with tons of people/dogs, or at the dog park..completely fine ignores people..gets pets. Walking down a single quiet street and sees one person and the barking starts. We will get there!
Keep up the good work
I like both of them. She's honest and tries really hard, and the dog appreciates it.
The owner is making me anxious just watching her talk and handle Ruby 🙈 so sweet, dog and owner. Really lovely to watch Tom try and guide them gradually both to calmness... Definitely a high revving doggy. But also a high revving owner! They're meant for each other 😂 but harness that productively and it good be a beautiful long term relationship!
Yeesh you also can't OVER praise that dog. Love how every dog is so different in sensitivity. Would love to see this pair now!
Tom give updates on previous clients in the future! A compilation of before and afters!!!
I love how Tom empowers the owners and shows us clearly the dogs movements. Well done, Tom! ❤️
It is always so amazing to see the difference in a dog after one session.
Love that all the training tools are always specific to what the dog needs.
I love watching the dogs transformation and they are so obedient and happy
So glad I found this channel. I have run horse boarding facilities for 30 years; I remember when positive training only first seeped into horse training- only from people who did not have to handle the horse on a daily basis. Finally learned how to explain to the women who own the horses how to think of showing love to your horse. It’s by making them feel safe by being a fair calm leader and showing them what is expected., not by nervously shoving carrots in their face every 5 seconds to try and bribe them into doing something. Thanks so much for making these videos!
My dog has developed barrier frustration/reactivity since putting him on a prong, watching your videos has helped me become calmer and everyday I see the improvement, in me and him. We have a long way to go, but we are getting there. 🥰 Thank you for helping so many learn to be better leaders.
#Dogtra280c Fan over here in NJ with a reactive Olde English Bulldogge. You are truly gifted Tom! Thank you for being so detailed in each and every one of your videos. You keep no secrets. You are saving so many dogs this way! Thank you!
Mate you have me begging for these videos now !!!!! I'm officially addicted.
I can’t stop watching Tom’s videos. I’m learning so much on how to extend and improve my dogs basic skills. I’d love to up ,y training even more with his e collar!!
Always nice to see a seemingly untrainable dog make a break through, keeping up with all your videos because I want to be a dog trainer like you. feels like my calling.
Thanks for watching!
Love and watch all your videos.
I adopted a 2 yr old shepherd mix last year. All my dogs were adopted, but never were any part shepherd. I was at a loss understanding my big boy. Your videos were a God-send. Following them, now not only do I understand him, I TRUST him and he is truly part of the family. Bless you!!!
P.S. Would love to be put in the drawing for your give-away training videos. Me and my boy still have a few issues to resolve and I know watching them would help us. Thank you.
The dog is a direct mirror of our energy. One has to be willing to look inward to see where the problem may lie, even in part. This has made me grow as a person. We don't always get the dog we want, we get the dog we need!
This dog had a HUGE transformation in such a short time!♡ Learning so much from this channel 🙌 👏 🤩🦴
I'd claim that Ruby did pretty good as well ;)
@@os. Agree 👍
Getting my rescue dog tomorrow. I’ve been watching your videos non stop! Thank you
I really like this owner. She seems really self aware, and like she'd be a gem to work with. She doesn't seem anxious to me at all. I have horrible anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I can see anxiety in a lot of other people...I don't see too much of it in her. She seems really nice, and willing to learn and apply. Not too many owners/people out there like that anymore. I don't see how you can do it. I'm a groomer, and I hate the amount of time I have to deal with owners as it is...I couldn't deal with owners as much as you do. Yikes. But I'm sure you like people more than I do. 🙃❤️
Needed these tips today since our little boy is hitting his "teenage" months and has crazy burst of energy.
Keep up the fantastic work, always something to learn from you, Tom. :)
It’s amazing how fast changing what is done makes a difference in the dog!
What a neat prize to give away. Love that the owner is so keen to learn
My dog is not reactive, but he had serious food guarding/aggression
(I used to be a purely positive camp memeber)
I used Tom's methods to implement obedience and I am at a point where I can get him off any peice of food and get him to come to me....
Planning to get an e-collar in the future to work with him and get him off food that he is extremely attracted to.
Thanks a lot Tom for all this knowledge, love from India.
Good work Tom. Nice to see anxious dogs calm down
These owners are actually good handlers, they just needed some guidance. My dog can be reactive when passing another dog, especially if the other dog is high energy or aggressive. So moving my dog off the trail, asking for a sit, stay and letting the other dog pass has always been what worked for my guy.
My German shepherd is 11 months old now and I’ve used your videos to help him through his reactivity. We have come so far and I don’t think I would have ever used the prong collar without your videos, I always thought they were cruel. Thank you for educating me! ❤️
I always learn something new to think about and apply to me and my dog’s training when I watch these videos. Great reminder to always work on building your relationship.
Very good display of the K9-Owner relationship and self awareness of energy.
These videos are helping me train my puppy so much! She’s not growling or barking at other dogs on our walk now and super good on a leash for being 17 weeks old. These videos also show me how I should act as well too and it’s helped a lot!
I love the comment about relaxing. So helpful to remember that sometimes you have to slow down.
Ruby is adorable! I didnt hear owner say 'Leave It' when Ruby would start to fixate. I know I dont see the whole picture either. She looks nervous too (as I know I would be, knowing cameras and other people watching...). The transformation in both of them, is amazing to watch. Good on the owner on not giving up 😊
It’s always amazing the change that you can see in the relationship between owner and dog, after only a little while working on it.
God that dog is asking to be given direction. Look at the eye contact throught he whole video. That pup is begging for instruction. Great video. Im sure it'll come together for them pretty quick thanks to Tom!
I just finished training a dog like this - literally almost ripped my 🐔 off with that “frenzy brain” - literally took me like 1 1/2 months dude. Love watching your content man you’re a beast and a king stay blessed!
I loved the slow mo shot of ruby going crazy at the fake dog 😅😅
Someone tag the 16 minute conversation! It’s absolutely pivotal in training for most people
For the past month or so ive been applying stuff I have learned from these videos to my male pup that didnt get to get out and be socialized too much due to covid and I've seen him change so much in such a short time, its really about ME learning more then him. I can't thank you enough for sharing all the knowledge you do share and loving animals the way you do. :)
I appreciate that you translate dogs' behaviour in a way that I can comprehend as to why the dog is doing certain things! Thank you!👏
Very good training
Loved Ruby, big powerful girl that has lacked structure. The owner has worked hard in the training with Tom and a big change in both their demeanours was noticeable.
