We had a Boston (RIP Bowser) that we taught the leave it command, and it worked great. One day the cat was doing something naughty, and without thinking, I told her to "Leave it!" She didn't, of course--and the next thing I know, the dog took after her, barking. I was laughing so hard and got the Boston back under control, but the cat spent all day glaring at us from the kitty condo. Man, I miss that dog.
You’re the reason I purchased a prong collar. I can’t begin to explain the improvement made,especially in his reactivity. For the first time since rescuing him,as a dog approached he looked to me for guidance instead of reacting. I can’t thank you enough!
Fun story from a few days back. Took my dog out on a nice forest hike. People usually go there to make a fire and make some food... this, of course, results in some food being thrown on the ground. My dog found a piece of meat and a quick "leave it" with a serious tone made him immediately go away from it. His leave it command was never this good when I used to train "force-free".
As a service dog trainer and handler leave it/ food refusal is one of the most used commands. I can’t count how many times randos come and try to give my dog or my clients dog food. Leave it is also generalized to be don’t look at those people, that fake service dog barking it’s head off in Walmart, and anything I or the handler doesn’t want them to engage with. Reliability is key for a service dog. Thanks for making such an amazing video!
@@jtrane2011 I'm 100% confident and therefore my dog knows there is no choice but to get with the program. The chance of me allowing behaviours I don't approve of is 0%. I don't even mind if he voices his opinion because it's just more opportunity for me to remind him it's not going to change the outcome.
Reliable "leave it" and actually enforced "no" have been game changing for our anxious shelter dog. Your videos have been incredibly helpful! We've been making lots of progress with balanced training. She was getting a lil chunky with positive only training 😬
I've got two 10 month old walker hounds that I am struggling with because they are more interested in the world around them than listening to me. It's nice to see another hound in this video ❤
I love how you use the analogy of children in your training. If your child runs out towards the road/street you would correct them in some way. If you love your dog then you would use correction to train them to listen to you just as you expect your child to listen. I loved this experiment to prove dogs are very smart. The do not get enough credit. Thanks for this video. I've been binge watching your channel and this is the best explanation. You use the analogy of children a lot but this video shows EXACTLY the analogy and proof it works and the dog understands.
Thank you Mr Davis! I used your techniques and explanations to help re-train my 6 year old dachshund who would only listen to My Mothers commands and nobody elses. He now listens every time without hesitation, there's no disconnect anymore. I can only hope to bring him to you one day and help repair the relationship between that dog and I.
Leave it is the first thing I taught when my boy was a puppy. It especially helps during play because you never want your hand to come between the toy and the dogs mouth. 😊
Why 6 dislikes?? I’ve watched every one of your videos for the past year and still never tire of them! The way you explain everything is fresh every time 😍
I rescued a 2 yr old mix 4 days ago, he’s a good boy but he’s Aggresive on the leash towards other dogs, I’ve been watching your videos and taking whatever I can from them, in the past 3 days I believe I’m making some good progress, got a way to go but thank you so much for these videos!!
I’ve found over time that there are many tools in the tool shed to tend your garden. It’s finding the right tool for the right job. Same with educating your canine companion. If it doesn’t work you need to try something else, but the one ☝️ ultimate tool that every dog owner/trainer needs is patience! If you have this one thing you’re on the right road! Tom, you’re patience is phenomenal! 🥰
I really like how you describe the process of building a language template. My husband and I were just discussing earlier today how we feel we now have a way to talk to our dog and he understands perfectly due to following our training over the last two years. It really is worth the investment!
Completely random but I so badly want the intro music as a ringtone for my phone I love it! Also I love this channel & I'm learning so much daily from Tom!
I have been working on "Leave it" with my rescue hound with his crazy barking at the fence when neighbors and their dogs walk by. Thank you for this video.
I finally think I understand how this works. I'm going out tomorrow and buying a new collar for my puppy. I've been using a harness and it has been liked talking to wall.🐕
So true, there should always be that fear/respect built in. Otherwise, why would anyone respect the law, their parents, the rules etc? There has to be some sort of a consequence.
Saw this command in one of your other videos and it has been the best thing to teach my pup. The thing that hit home for me was the safety aspect of the obedience to the command. Love your videos ❤️
This happened to me...I unsubscribed and resubscribed then clicked the bell icon and turned it to all notifications again and it worked. I believe mine was due to some weird update? Hope that works for you!
Thank you Tom. I have learnt so much since watching your channel. I have gone down so many wrong paths with my now 7 month GSD. Hopefully I can now right some wrongs
I just want to say thank you soooooo much and this is definitely the best channe！ First puppy owner and have watched many videos and I have to say, yours are the best!
This is awesome! I have a hound pit mix and he can be a little stubborn! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I am so excited to start using the prong collar I have for training. I was reluctant to use it because I didn't want to have to use it forever bu ty now I see that I won't have to!
People are very slow to realize that for training purposes, especially w puppies, it makes absolute sense to have a leash on your dog in the house. The first 6wks of my Great Dane’s life w us (6wks to 12wks old) he had a slip leash on all day long, and his behavior, now at 14wks, is absolutely exceptional. Every time I take him somewhere, people comment on his good behavior and good he is on a leash.
@@tomdavisofficial I honestly have not watched one video lesson that I haven't liked! I recommend you and your channel to all my fellow trainers and dog owners! You're amazing!! ❣🤗 Thank you!!
I was dogsitting a beagle who christmas morning, in the 40 seconds it took me to the breakfast plates in the sink, hopped onto the dining table and ate an entire bunch of grapes. That coulda killed her. Training does indeed save lives.
Hey dude, you are doing a great job and I request you to upload more such videos so that we can learn from you how to train a dog❤️ Love from India🇮🇳❣️
Love this as i have an 8 month old whos such a brat. Your training videos have helped her so much. I am working with a trainer and it wasn’t working until I found your videos. Such an improvement for her and my 5 year old. There both hounds
I watch your channel all the time. I have a 5 months old Boxer,bulldog, Stafford shire Terrier mix, and I have watched most of your content, and it has helped tremendously. This video is exactly what I have been looking for, to help my family understand, why we need to set boundaries, and why it is so important to teach obedience and ensure your dog understand and listens to you. We are still work in progress. I bought the Hermanspringer and its night and day the way the dog reacts to corrections. I am very pleased with this tool and I will continue to use this tool going forward. This is an awesome video, thank you for posting all this great content and keep up the good work! #nobaddogs
Love your videos. Totally agree with you for training dogs. Most of today's training is too positive. People let dog get away alot of easy to fix stuff. I would like your oppinon about harness. Harnesses are a big growing trend, at least here in Estonia. And 90% of dog with harnesses are pulling. And people just seem to accept that. What do you think? P.S. sorry for my bad english
I'm also from Estonia and I agree that harnesses are super popular here. I see tons of new puppy owners use harnesses and conditioning their puppies to pull from an early age. I personally only use my harnesses for hiking and bikejoring. I might throw it on for super casual walks too but my dog is under control at all times.
Harnesses are for attack dogs to create frustration by pulling into it, and for service dogs for people that need a harness to hold onto. For the general public harnesses are not practical and a lot of dog reactivity and aggression is created by the frustration the harness causes when the dogs are pulling into it. You can't correct the dog on a harness either.
hope nobody else looked up Richard Heinz videos like i just did cus of the comment that he was "calling out" Tom Davis... ...wish i hadnt watched ...such horrible aggression training ...the world needs to abolish that outdated shite! ...lucky we have people like Tom tryin to protect beautiful big dogs from this kind of training...
You’re amazing! Your work is so close to my heart and means so much to me. Currently, I’m working towards being a dog trainer at a dog shelter to make dogs more adoptable. Your knowledge has greatly impacted my life for better.
My pup will be a small breed with proclivity to tracheal collapse- Lhasa apso - can the same training be done with a harness? Or a softer version of that prong.
My grandpa passed away 2 months ago and i got his dog. He looks just like this one but a little heavier and i was told he was a beagle. Are hounds and beagles extremely similar looking? My dog looks exactly like this dog but he's about 40 lbs. So glad i found this channel to help me train my dog
Tom, can you do this level of work with a 5 month old Mal? What about a prong collar. I'm trying to build engagement and eye contact, but he's such a butterfly.
I love dogs the most of all animals. I never had a thought to be an educator or a trainer but watching your videos and seeing how helpful all the tips and tricks are for dog owners I'm pretty inspired to be someone who can help and teach owners about their dogs 🤗🤗
hounds always have their nose to the ground... i did alot of research on blue tick hounds it takes a special kind of person to deal with how stubborn they can be. I got an australian shepard LOL
So my dog was born on December 25 last year, and we got her at 3 months . She knows her commands, but when we are out at training, she just doesn't want to listen half the time. I'm trying so hard to socialize her, but slit is so hard because she doesn't listen. I'm stuck having a hard time setting boundaries.
great video....if i don't see an item before my dog does and it is food, she will hold it in her mouth and eat it, even if i have higher value treats, and because she resource guards, i can't remove the item yet (in training); how do you teach dogs to drop high value items Tom Davis?
This is probably the best dog training channel I have ever come across💯 Keep uploading more stuff like this ❣️
I learn something new every single video.
Agree!!
I am a psychologist with a behavioral orientation. You are making me consider an ABA Career with dogs jajajajajaja
I tell all the folks I see struggling to watch his channel!!!
@@Jan-sb2ql he's an ass! Do NOT follow this dog abuser! I watched him throw an object at a do who is fearful as a way to help it!!!
The "leave it" command, is probably one of the most important commands... Nicely demonstrated !
So so true!!
We had a Boston (RIP Bowser) that we taught the leave it command, and it worked great.

Big hugs. I k ow how you feel. 🐶💖
When you rob a bank... “HEY, THAT WAS RUDE....ummm sorry ” 😂😎 Im still laughing 🤣🐶🤣🤣🤣
"RESPECT IS WHAT SAVES' LIVES'!" accurate for even humans - amazing video!

I have learned the most from these videos Thomas Davis’ ability to communicate to humans how to teach ourselves and our dogs is phenomenal.
I'm feeling helpless with my recently adopted 2 yo dog and watching you gives me hope. Thank you!
same! im 2 days in and feeling very confident because of this channel.
@@jtrane2011 I'm 100% confident and therefore my dog knows there is no choice but to get with the program. The chance of me allowing behaviours I don't approve of is 0%.

I use leave it for everything from food on the floor to joggers on the sidewalk and the mail carrier.
Yup. It's supposed to be universal for, "that's off limits"
Leave it is the first thing I taught when my boy was a puppy. It especially helps during play because you never want your hand to come between the toy and the dogs mouth. 😊
WOW This is OUTSTANDING.
Why 6 dislikes?? I’ve watched every one of your videos for the past year and still never tire of them! The way you explain everything is fresh every time 😍
Oh wait...they were probably “purely positive” trainers 🤣🤣

My pups are watching this with me. I hope they pay attention.
Thanks for the u standing on the leve it command

You can yell any command at your dog, until you teach them what it means aka what you want from them, it don't matter!
But what if they know the command they just pick and choose when to follow it
Great info. Thanks so much.
