As always THANK YOU for watching, Leave a comment to support the channel!
I'm in tears. You do so much good work. She was trying to advocate for her dog but she had no solutions. You helped her to have a good relationship with her dog.
What a great lady for not having surrendered the dog to the shelter for euthanasia and for Tom Davis for saving this dog’s life!! ❤
Another dog’s life saved by great training. ❤
Its working well for her but when you can't afford the training not so easy
@@lorr4793 True, but these videos are a wealth of information to use on your own.
@@WastedTalent-absolutely!! No excuses! Be a good owner and get it done!! Don’t ever give up on your pets💯💯
and THISSSSSSSS is why we WATCH TOM DAVIS! 👏👏👏👏👏
That beautiful dog. Been through so much. So glad he is surrounded with love!
So glad you were able to give this lady some help and direction so that Stanley can enjoy a long and fruitful life. 🙏🙌✝️❤️
I love how Tom translates what is going on and coaches the owner to change the script 💖
I wear my “no bad dogs army” hoodie with pride💯 Tom is truly amazing!! Don’t give up on your dogs people, get off your butts and get to work! Don’t make excuses about money etc. his content is free to watch as many times as you need, it WORKS!
Blessings to this woman and Tom. Saving this doggie. #dogsmatter
I love those crystal clear, AHA moments when you see the owner and the dog get it. You are a lifesaver for so many dogs needing understanding of their issues and guidance on how to address and solve their problems. You give dog owners so much hope!
Thank you for sharing and making lives better!
Stanley is such a beautiful dog, I’m glad he and his owner went to the right trainer for solutions that work. When she told him “good boy” at the end, his body got soft and his tail wagged, and I could tell those words resonated with him. I hope she keeps working well with Stanley so that they can have the relationship they both want and deserve.👏🐾🐾
And this is also an expression of love. I'm crying..
me too 🥹
Videos like this bring me to literal tears. The power of a proper correction at the proper time. You could see how relieved that dog was once he was told that's not his job.❤ Great work as always. You are a lifesaver.
I wonder if one of the reasons the owner never corrected him is because she feels sorry for him being a tripod. He could also be lashing out because he feels at a disadvantage so it's the 'get them before they get me' attitude. I'm glad she decided to give him a chance. Thanks, Tom. Another dog saved.
Lots of people don’t correct because of the reward only, force free movement has convinced people that it is abuse.
@@annylaurie422exactly. People make it taboo to use training tools properly, specifically collars. Like peong collars, e-collars, martingale, heck even slip leads and I usually hear good things about them.
The proper use of dog training tools is not abuse, it is often the fool and not the tool, as some may say.
I got a martingale for my reactive Chihuahua and it's helped a lot because sometimes he gets too excited on the slip lead. The martingale physically cannot choke him.
Many people confuse shock collars (which are intended to hurt the dog) and choke collars ( also ment to hurt the dog but in a way it depends on the "choke" collar you get. Because some can be similar looking to a slip collar) with prongs and e-collars.
I don't regret getting a slip lead, and I don't regret the martingale. No one is less of a dog owner just for training their dogs with the tools they needed.
I have watched so many of your videos and love when you post videos helping owners like this. She didn't give up on him and instead came to you! I hope she uses what she learned here and they both have a happy and long life together!
LOVE the owner, absolutely love the dog. What a beautiful animal. I was in this ladies exact situation. I had no idea what I was doing. Did some research (thanks Tom Davis YT) and over time really learned how to handle a dog properly. What a difference. I think we all grow up dog owners, but never learned the training/handling part. I make the joke that it feels like dogs used to come trained back when we were kids.
Tom, as a teacher myself, the way you communicate to owners is what saves dogs like this. The way you describe things is absolutely spot on. The way you can read the owner, and chose descriptions that they understand, is the absolute key to success.
I Hope to be able to see you with Liam, Will and Ben in England.
Way back when we had a 38 lb. Collie/Keeshond cross (neutered male) and decided to get a 39 lb.GSD mix (spayed female) there were a few altercations in the first few weeks while they were working out dominance. Whenever they started going after one another, I would yell,”HEY!” They would stop immediately. The GSD had issues when my youngest grandchild was over. One time she nipped at him and the Collie cross went after her as a correction. “We don’t do that in our house!” Both dogs turned out great.
Training people to communicate with their dog is the key
Hi Tom, love your no nonsense calm approach with very good layman explanations. Can you give pointers to help me correct the following situation. Not sure it's relevant but the dog is an 8 1/2 yr old unaltered 90 pound German Shepherd that belongs to my son who now lives with us. Due to son's health issues the Shepherd was not actively trained but has been with us for a couple of years. He lived on a working ranch and is well socialized but is basically a bull in a china cabinet when he gets excited... at almost everything. My biggest challenge is handling him after getting him in the car. He loves to go for rides, is pretty well behaved in public ( ie Home Depot), he will sit and wait for the command " load up" before getting in the car but is agitated with heavy breathing while the car is in motion and then it is Katie bar the door when it is time for him to get out. In the driveway I can get him to sit and wait before getting out, but it is a struggle with multiple commands sit, wait, sit wait and the ok to get out. In public it's another story, he barrels his way out like he's in a panic, but if he even thinks anyone might go somewhere he's first to the car, if told "no you have to stay" he's OK with it. If we say do you want to go for a ride he paces at the back of the car, until told to sit, wait and he will... until told to load up. I'm terrified that his barreling out of the car will eventually lead to him getting hurt. He's kept on leash while in the car, but not crated because the crate is too big to fit. Can you give me some pointers?
I'm not tom, but do you have only a flat collar? German Shepherds are typically more strong so a slip, prong, or martingale can work better for them.
I have a reactive Chihuahua, I recently got him a martingale because when he excitedly pulls the slip will choke him. Don't regret the martingale one bit!
Thank goodness she found you!
Getting your dog to engage and stay engaged with you is paramount, giving commands and immediate praise or correction, you have to tell the dog exuberantly when they do it right, they live to hear and see how much you love them, that praise keeps them engaged with you, once they start getting the "Good Sit" "good Stay", they want to keep doing it . I see many clients in your videos struggle with timing and remembering to communicate better verbally, both with commands, corrections and rewards. You do great work Tom, thank you for sharing your expertise, you're one of the best communicators to dogs and their people.
It never amazes me to see a dog do something. What does amaze me is to see a person transform to make a dog do something. Tom my friend you are a professional at getting people to do things they thought they didn't have the ability to do. Great job!
If you've never been told or shown how do you possibly know? Applies equally to humans and dogs. Such a powerful session .
I cried just watching this sweet dog needing guidance and you provided just what she needed.
This is first time watching a 3 legged dog on your channel. This dog is so easy to deal with. Your are doing wonderful things for him and the owner!😊
Your fresh set of eyes and explanation really helped this lady. She was just too close and emotional to see it for herself. You changed their lives. 🤗
great example of why it is so important to TELL a dog NO... Awesome clip, thanks!
Man, I wish these types of videos were 10x as long and often. Sooo helpful and just love it so much!! You're awesome Tom!!!!
I have an anxious, severely dog aggressive/ reactive dog who also has some issues with small children and i genuinely wish I could work with you. I’m starting with a professional trainer in October but it would be a dream come true to have you as our trainer
Tom,you are outstanding 💙💕🐾💕💙
Thank you for your videos, my dog is very reactive at home and these videos help with some tips to use
Can’t say it enough, I love ❤️ your channel!
As always, Tom, Well Done! You saved that dogs life!
So inspiring, thanks so much again Tom and team!!
Yep, you have to tell dogs no. They need it, they love it, they just want to please you and feel safe with you!!
Love your content best trainer seen on here yet. You work with the owner and make good progress with good methods. Well done
Now they will both have a more fulfilling life with eachother
I think he’s like my dog and guarding his person
Reactive dogs are SOOOOOO misunderstood. He is so so gentle and so sweet. So many ppl don’t rly know him. He is fearful but he is honestly a baby. I will work on my anxiety for my fur baby.
Another informative video, Thank you Tom
I would looooove if you would change his muzzle immediately for that lovely lady into a well fitting one
Keep up the great work!!!!!
I love his brand “ NO BAD DOGS” “ MY DOG BITES” ❤❤❤
Love your work Tom,any update on the seminar?
What seminar?
This! This is why i do it, you saved these two, and it is beautiful!!
Great video.
Mr.Davis. Thank you so much, for helping me to make my dream come true of having a ESA and Therapy dog, because my goal with my black labrador, is this, "help others have better day better life better health better lifestyle, and have a respectable ESA and Therapy dog" that couple weeks ago i was a local park this blue tick hound barked at my dog pissed him off, so i popped the leash and said relax, to which my dog sat there calm, so then with in 0.1 seconds the blue tick started a dog fight so i pulled my dog back to me , other then that my dog was respectable matter of fact he was so respectable that he's lay his head on my knee sleeping then turn his head as if he was curious about seeing Top Gun, Tom i cant thank you enough for helping me to get my dream to come true of having a ESA and Therapy dog, i even purchased a tactical vest that you would see on police dogs with patches that say (Emotional Support, Therapy , in training) on the vest
love your cap!
I have 3 years old frenchie Theo has a strong reactive to dog even
When he drive in the car Can you help with video or class to take care this problem Thanks
Great video
Thanks, Tom for teaching failsafe humane dog training
I think the prong is a great tool but my latest dog is really reactive despite good initial training, if I use the prong for reactivity he redirects onto me so I'm using a grot collar but struggling to hold him as he's so strong!
Yup! Same with my cattle dog! One of my trainers told me that the prong is actually making her more mad on top of the dogs that pass by so she suggested i switch to a slip lead or gentle leader. I use a gentle leader and have her on a long lead and have her watch other dog and ppl from a distance she’s comfortable yet is able to move around a little more without feeling my nervousness through the shorter leash. It’s been doing wonders for her.
Sorry to hear he went after you, but you did the good thing switching to a tool that better worked.
Prongs can be very good tools but for some dogs it will frustate them.
Please come to New York !
I am in NY….
I hope Stanley, and her!, make great strides and Stanley can not wear the mask ❤
When are you coming to Montreal
He doesn't come to montreal I have asked him multiple times. Unfortunately not enough English people open for his seminars also all his tools are also banned due to all the unicorn owners and ff pp trainers brain washing owners calling us balance trainers cruel and evil
@@Sassypawstoilettage its ashame
Years of not correctioning can be washed away by one snap correction
Instead of trying to ban prong collars we need to start banning harnesses. Useless tool unless your dog is tracking and trailing or a police K9. Every client I start working with has a harness and a dog that pulls their arm out of socket.
There definitely seem to be issues caused by harnesses plus insecure handlers. The result of the one correction was mindblowing
A good dog professional can work with a harness easily.
Though I recommend clients a regular collar because its easier for them.
Honestly imo, it's VERY HARD to teach a dog to not pull on a harness because that is what they were designed for. They were mad to encourage a dog to pull. Tom is a professional and there's a good reason why whenever the dog has a harness on he'll use the dog's flat collar or put on a slip (or prong).
Don't get me wrong, maybe some dogs can learn to not pull on a harness, but most times it will not work because harnesses are designed to encourage the dog to pull.
What about dogs that do this in the house, when they don’t have a leash on? I’m having problems with my dog acting aggressively at home, and I’m really at a loss. I hired a behavioral trainer. We got no results. I’m at a loss. She went after my son last night, completely unprovoked. She was laying in the floor, chewing her toy. He and I were a good 4 feet away. He was looking in the pantry for something to eat. She randomly jumped up and came at him. He hid in the pantry, and I stood in front of the door, and she backed off from me. It’s very scary, especially with her size. She is a Great Pyrenees.
Hello. I rarely write comments, but after reading about your issue I felt like I should.
Firstly, why don't you ask your dog's breeder how to deal with your current problem?
LGD breeds are not breeds that are trained and do duties like Border Collies or German Shepherds.
So it can be difficult to understand the brains of those breeds for dog behaviourists with little knowledge of them.
Our dogs are not Pyrenees, but we have LGD breeds.
In my experience, I can say that it is very important and best to build a strong bond with your dog and to be respected.
@@cass_elinkatornjak She was adopted, so no breeder. I’ve tried reaching out to Pyr rescues to try to get guidance, and they don’t respond. There’s a large breed rescue in my area, and they didn’t respond either. The shelters here don’t have any resources other than euthanasia. Her vet put her on Prozac, but also suggested euthanasia. Training in my area is astronomical, and as I mentioned, I already paid one trainer, which took up most of my budget. Plus, vet care is extremely expensive for her, because she has to be given anesthesia every time she goes in. I’m literally at a loss of what to do. I have had dogs my whole life, all kinds of breeds from giant to mini, and I have trained them all myself. I did tons of research on Pyrs before I got her. I gave her “a job” to do, because everyone said that was most important for this breed. She clearly respects ME, as her handler, but my 9 year old and my elderly parents, not so much. I have to keep her completely separate from the family. That breaks my heart because I got her primarily for my son (who has autism and would benefit so much from that bond).
Idk if she was resource guarding or she felt fearful of what he was doing and that’s why she did what she did. I don’t think that would be a reason to kill her… def do training with her and ur son. Make sure your son is also 100 percent properly up to date with animal behavior as well. I see too many kids hit, eye down, grip fur, get too close to their food etc and that’s a big no no! I know ur furbaby and ur baby can be best buddies soon
@@MissBubbakush This wasn’t the only problem. She has bitten before for several different reasons. There have even been times where she has come to me, initiated petting, then all of a sudden, she has snapped at me. It’s obvious to me that she is always anxious, and I just can’t figure out why. And the vet said that unpredictability is the reason he might recommend euthanasia. Trust me, I don’t want that. I love her a lot.
As for the incident with my son, I considered resource guarding because she did have a toy at the time, but he was several feet away from her, with his back turned. He wasn’t even looking at her, so I don’t know why she would have felt threatened at that moment. And he is 9 years old, and I have taught him very well how to deal with animals. He’s had dogs his whole life pretty much. I also never leave him unattended with this particular dog. Honestly, now I keep her crated if he’s even in the room with her. It sucks for all of us.
youtube.com/@offgriddogs?si=hn4ePhV1Mxj0ItJu maybe this gentleman can give you some insight into your dog.
Hey Tom, desperate dog owner here. What can I do to help my dog that developed a fear aggression out of nowhere and lunges at me and other people hes know all his life. He is a 4yr old great pyrenees and German shepherd mix.
Hire a trainer
@@tomdavisofficial trying to find one. But really what Im asking is how can I correct him when lunges at me?
@@Slowyota65I'm not tom, but what do you use for your dog? Flat collar, slip, prong, e-collar?
we love abby hahha
Where is burleigh
Sleeping, why?
@@tomdavisofficial Just a representative of the fanbase awaiting his next appearance. Nothing major.

Red flag: a 3-belt harness
Isn’t that a Labrador ?
Now try it with an aggressive rottweiler! (jk don't do that)
