    It's so good to see this with a little dog. Little dogs need the most work because they are usually the most spoiled! Ha

      I’m a big dog person. But, due to being 70 and the life span of a dog, I can no longer have a big dog. Mainly, when the dog ages I will not be able to lift them when necessary. I now have a mini poodle. It’s a whole new ball game. They are more energetic. They play hard and are more head strong compared to a big dog. It’s definitely a new learning experience for both of us! So yeah, I agree with you.

    Its crazy to see that even when you were holding the leash, like, a foot away, all the little dog could think about was getting back to the owner. Thats next level seperation anxiety.

    As someone with a reactive GSD I personally love those kinda of videos however I’m really happy to see this video as well because for some reason there is an unspoken standard that only big dogs need training! Hopefully This will help owners of small dogs understand that training is important regardless of size. Thanks Tom! 😌👏🏼

    • @jenniferd5066
      @jenniferd5066 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agree. And, same with GSD! As soon as he relents and I think he's bending the right way, he bounces back with HA, I've got more will.

    I have a very reactive dog who I’ve been training for sometime. I watched several of your videos today, applied those techniques and this was one of the best walks we’ve ever had. We were able to walk alongside a rambunctious puppy when normally a sight of any dog would cause him to lunge. Thank you for simplifying what we need to do to be successful leaders.

    I see so many resource guarding videos that go like this with place drills and confidence building exercises, but they never end up addressing how they correct resource guarding

    • @FAFObozo
      @FAFObozo 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      That's because this dog has soo many issues you need to start at the beginning. Place is a basic command that is easy to teach and helps build confidence and structure with the dog while it learns to understand corrections, commands, and leash pressure. Anxious, nervous, and insecure dogs often show resource guarding so building them up slowly can help alleviate that anxiety and make it easier to eliminate the resource guarding. There are lots of videos out there about how to specifically address the resource guarding once your relationship has been established and the dog understands corrections and commands.

  • @CathyKeating
    @CathyKeating 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    This is a GREAT session. She gets it and really wants this coaching. No unhealthy baggage to unpack here. Which is so nice. And these very small steps are so clear, clear for the dog and for everyone who's watching. PLUS, it's just awesome seeing a little dog like this being treated like a dog, for once. Love this owner. Loved the work you did with them.

    My toy poodle has the exact same issues with this little man here. Separation anxiety; nervous, alert and fearful to things when we’re outside; reactive to other dogs; lack of social exposure; growling and barking to us non-stop with no respect at all when he wants something. We spoiled him too much and being too protective because we thought he is just a “puppy”. We used to let him get away from most of the bad behaviors. Now he is eight which makes things even harder to fix. But I won’t give up training him everyday because after watching tons of training videos, I know it’s good for our relationship and his well-being.

  • @grandmajeanne5631
    @grandmajeanne5631 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    I noticed that she is using "GO' as a break word, but then she says "go to place", this might be confusing to him.

    • @JamieM470
      @JamieM470 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      This! This is what I was wondering. He's hearing "GO Place". It's got to be confusing if GO=break.

    • @HeplMeh
      @HeplMeh 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I don't think it's as big as an issue as you might first think. You have to keep in mind, dogs don't understand that our words are separated. To them words are just sound cues we are making in it's entirety including tone and cadence. So, "Go" and "Gotoyourplace" are vastly different from the dogs perspective.

    I was ALSO making this mistake ......too much love and not enough leadership....SO, NOW I'm dealing with some behaviours which have become problematic but improving. I had to take responsibility for the issue. The best part, however, is that my wonderful 14 month old GSD is still the wonderfully tempered, loving, friendly and intelligent puppy I began with..............I guess I did a few things right, but it's so much better and positive getting all the things right!!! And, it's been tough, some days I wanted to 'kill' myself especially with the play biting and jumping but you keep TRYING and somehow you begin too see progress! Thank you for the video

    Great video, broken down so well, being clear with less talking and words from the owner….at the beginning, ‘do you want to walk, do you want to come this way’, giving structure, consistency, and leadership, with few words, fantastic. Love how Tom teaches, even comparing and giving example of raising his own child helps, when children are young, they need the structure and boundaries as well. Can definitely relate to the struggles there 😂. His videos have helped me sooooo much with my dog and how nice for this dog not to be so anxious and able to improve his life.

    @24:10 You can tell she is serious about doing what is necessary for her dog. When he jumps on her and attempts to get her attention she ignores him. Most pet owners would immediately recognize the dog and stop paying full attention to what Tom is saying

    Great video - as always - and a lovely responsible owner. Little dogs don't have to be turned into spoiled yappy brats (but invariably are in my experience). I have a friend with a miniature yorkie and I used to walk her with my 52kg GSD x Malamute. This tiny little dog was a DOG and had been brought up and trained as such so had no behavioural issues whatsoever. The reason for this - I have no doubt - is because my friend used to have a GSD previously so fully understood the whole "dogs are animals and not handbag accessories" thing 🙂

    Hello Tom. I don't know if you remember me from the NBD Club but just wanted to say that you're an amazing dog trainer. Chief, my Siberian Husky unfortunately had a neurological disorder and having seizures and would become aggressive afterwards, would vomit, etcetera. I unfortunately had to take him in to get him put down today. Wanted to say that your training I think made his last year the best year of his life. He was only 2. So he didn't live that long. You really did us a miraculous service this year and when I'm ready for a new dog I will certainly rejoin. I'm also due to in about to have a baby girl in 6 weeks. It will be exciting to be able to pass down your animal education onto my daughter. Thank you so much for everything. 10/10 would recommend for sure. Thanks again.

  • @damiaorodrigues2680
    @damiaorodrigues2680 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It's interesting that when Tom is explaining the release command, he often first says "ok!", and then follows it with "go!" or "break!". In this particular case, I think it's just part of his explanation to the dog owner, but in my case I made the actual mistake of using "ok!" as a "break!" command (facepalm, I know...). Now it's a bit hard to make my dog unlearn it and use "go!" instead.

    • @oliviabartlett8237
      @oliviabartlett8237 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      It makes it more “obvious” for the dog. As the dog learns the place command you definitely can tell them to place anywhere. Park bench, front porch, dog bed. Wherever.

  • @robinrutherfordcost4748
    @robinrutherfordcost4748 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The key is getting the owners to actually release them from place. So many just forget. I like using a clicker for new exercises to help build their confidence because they're thinking about how to get a treat, so problem solving without fear of correction or doing it wrong. Making the shoes with the kid into a game with Dad - race you to who can get their shoes on the fastest might help too. Hope that helps.

    any tips on getting my dog to walk with just one person?? i took her on walks alone and with my husband from the time she was fully vaccinated (4 months) to help socialize her but as time has gone on she pretty much refuses to walk unless it’s both my husband and i taking her together.
    if either of us try solo she pretty much plants herself into the ground and refuses to budge. it sucks not being able to take her on walks by myself and it’s impacted the amount of exercise im able to give her.
    ive tried so many things and aside from this she is so well-behaved so not sure what im doing wrong.

    • @fallbrkgrl
      @fallbrkgrl 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      My new rescue started randomly stopping, and planting her feet on walks.
      Basically she wanted to stop and smell something, and was blowing me off.
      I used leash pressure to get her to take a step, in any direction, and release pressure, used my marker word "yes", as soon as she took a step.
      Rinse and repeat.
      I never let her go to the spot where she originally wanted to go. Basically letting her know she's not calling the shots.
      When she first started doing it, it was extremely frustrating, especially when she would do it in the middle of the street.
      Some days it would take quite a bit of time to get her moving, but you have to be patient. Eventually they will start moving.
      She's gotten much better, because she knows that this crazy lady is not going to take no for an answer.
      She still occasionally tries to stop, but I say "no", give a light leash pop, and say "let's go" (I haven't taught her the word "heel" yet).

    • @Jenny2point0GAMES
      @Jenny2point0GAMES 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      One of the worst things you can do if/ when she plants is to stop. The second you stop moving she gets her way and learns this is how she gets you to stop. I would start with when she stops do repetitive corrections either up so you stand by her side and correct her up until she stands or forward until she moves but pair that with reward as well. You might even begin to feel her plant before she does, you need to catch her quickly and correct it. Say you're walking out your house and take a few times and you feel the lead get tight and you stop and turn around to see why, it's already to late by then. The second you feel the lead get tight you correct the lead forward. You also need to tell her when she's being good as well as bad. So when she's walking initially, make it super fun for her. Bring a toy with you or her fave treats and reward her for heeling nicely. But the second she slows down to try to stop correct it. Don't drag her if you can because that'll make her pull back worse. I don't know what to recommend for training tools (if you should use slip, prong, ect) as I'm not qualified to advise on that and the tool you use depends on the dog and owner but hopefully this helps a bit.

  • @jacquelinegolden1038

    This is a great video to share. I have a little Pomeranian who has such anxiety from birth. She is now 2 and while she is improving I still can’t get her to stop barking at anyone who greets her. I have always trained my dogs not to bark at the right time give them a place they can bark as long abd litd as they want but in the home when greeting people it isn’t allowed. I’ve tried ignoring, tried using the raised bed to have her place nothing works. Any suggestions to get this part of her anxiety better controlled. She was supposed to be my service dog and is great at home but out she is so afraid of everything I can subject her to this. She us afraid of the car and gets car sick, she also is afraid it shiny floors and while she takes us slow like walking on shiny floors thinking she will slide. Her fear majes her slide. Would love your input her to help her. I boy another Pim who is super smart and friendly but as a puppy he is boring which I gavevyo drop. He doesn’t rasok d to a corrective noise and my vet suggested to change his command to leave it as he gets this with things like grabbing socks, I say leave it and most of the time he dies I’m now beginning to say leave it if he grabs my hand which is very much a puppy thing but but gas to be stopped early so it doesn’t become annals thing. Any suggestions in either ifvtheee situations?

    • @jacquelinegolden1038
      @jacquelinegolden1038 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

She looks at me like don’t make me do this again so I do g take her unless I really need her skills. Not good fir her ur he. My new Pom is only 5 months and he is getting there but no where ready and has his own issues. Help

    Hey Tom, in your opinion is separation anxienty a character trait/genetic to an extend meaning it can be reduced but never really erased or is it only a learned behaviour?

      I know you didn't ask me but it's such a good question, lol. When it comes to helping dogs with anxiety I'd say just as some people are more prone to anxiety, just as well dogs are. When and if a dog is more prone to be anxious (Dalmatians are insane 😅) that's when it's doubly important that the owner knows dogs in general because if they don't it's going to be alot for them to handle. Almost to the point that if they can't take it on the dog usually belongs with someone with the type of experience and so is rehoused.
      Your question is good though because in those cases where it is both as Tom posited that's when it a total mess if the dog owner is truly out of thein league.
      If it does get into that area of a learned behavior the owner (who made the situation worse to begin with) needs to really make a huge improvement on their part as well.
      A saying my mom said that is so true, and never meant to have to do with dogs was "if you spend 'x' amount of time in the woods, it takes 'x' amount of time to get out".
      While anxiety can certainly be predisposed, SA tends to be learned due to ignorance of how to take care of dogs properly in general.
      Honestly in my experience application of obedience into the dogs life can take care of lower levels of SA and surely reduced back to a simple form of anxiety and then to no negative connotation whatsoever but you're going to have to get the client to do a total 180 in terms of fixing bad habits and creating new ones.
      And if you're a clever trainer there are some good things to take away from a situation where a dog does have SA in terms of behavior. So you'd be keen to capture then and try to put it on cue.
      While anxiety has a negative connotation, if your smart you use that energy and use it to help the dog flourish. Helping a dog with anxiety isn't always about squashing it as it is finding outlets where that energy is supposed to be.
      SA though has to be confronted head on though, no question about it.

      I have lab mix and I have tried a lot of things to reduce his SA. But whatever I try it does not seem to fully go away. We have small improvements and its a lot of work.
      Im relatively new when it comes to dog training but im researching a lot and consume a lot of content and im starting to have a good understanding and It seems my dog is genetically predisposed to higher base levels of SA.

    • @DevinStoragen
      @DevinStoragen 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @The.Vikingr @The.Vikingr So that is what I would disagree with. The statement that a particular dog is more likely to have SA then another, to me, makes no sense. Not anxiety as a whole, but separation anxiety.
      Try and see it this way. Someone else in the comments section said " Wow, the way that dog keeps trying to get back to the owner while Tom holds the lead is something else, that's serious separation anxiety". Well, tbh, I laughed when I read it because I've seen much worse examples and personally dealt with seriously higher levels to the point where the dog would look like it's convulsing as was as self mutilation. My point is when I've dealt with it in that way, I can say that no dog should have that proclivity just because their DNA says so. If that were the case then the breeding practices should be brought into question.
      Real SA simply isn't normal at all and is the result of some important tenants never being addressed as well as the combination of that and some bad habits being practiced.
      Without addressing anxiety properly, it can manifest into SA, and that can happen to any dog, regardless of breed.

      A lot of small dogs are prone to tracheal collapse & pressure on the neck can exacerbate the issue. A pro dog trainer knows how to use them properly of course but I don't think I've personally ever seen them used on a small breed dog.

      I have a large dog and I would rather work and repeat, over and over again so that I am teaching the right way rather than correcting with a tool such as those you suggested. My dog wears a flat collar at home and a harness out for walks. I know that whether it's a day, a month, a year or several years, my dog will learn what's expected. Sometimes I think people just want a quick fix and aren't willing to put in any time, especially with shock collars which I would NEVER, EVER use on ANY dog. Positive, HAPPY and meaningful reactions to the things well-done plus, if you want to add a treat, work much better in the long run. Why would I want to HURT/USE PAIN to train my dog who can't speak ? Would that make him respect me??? NO! It'll make him FEAR ME. The number ONE reason for dog bites is FEAR...not aggression!

      I think we choose correct basic terminology whoever we are and whoever we're talking to. I'm not American so whenever I see the term "woke" I sort of glide over it because I don't really know what it's supposed to mean other than to be compassionate, polite or respectful but to me those are good things. Yet it seems to be an insult. You want to get your point across without startling the other person or getting them offside ... this has always been the case since the dawn of time. It's just called being amiable or tactful or whatever.

    Wish I'd had this video when I first got my small 7kg (15lb) dog at about 12 mths old but luckily I already knew that I had to lead her through her multitude of fears and show her the world could be good, rather than mollycoddle her and "cuddle the pain away". I would have been more efficient with these instructions tho! She's gone now but had 14 great years with us. (Hint: I picked her up so seldom that she was noticeably uncomfortable if anyone did.)
    @tomdavis I've noticed your training methods have changed over the last year or two and I'm really loving the new methods - you kept all the good that I admired and got rid of a few things - now you and Victoria Stilwell are my favourite trainers of all time!

      I do wonder about the new instructions that you should carry your dog everywhere if you need to take them outside eg to the vets until 14 weeks. I can see my dog getting very used to being carried and I worry about it, he's a lab so he is definitely going to be too big to carry for long

      @@gillb9222 this instruction isn't new where I am from. You probably know that it's for your pup's safety until he is fully vaccinated - so he doesn't get any of the nasty bugs while he doesn't have full immunity. If you have an enclosed yard for him (no stranger dogs using the space) then it's really only a few times in these weeks that you'd need to carry him. Exercise only in your safe zone and carry into the vet every 4 weeks for needles. Puppy socialisation classes should also be in dedicated clean areas where it's guaranteed to be safe. But rather than listen to me (not a pro trainer lol), maybe @Tom Davis has a video about this? I don't know, but hopefully.
