Just an idea…I think it would be profoundly helpful if you could do some videos checking back with dogs and owners a year or so after their sessions with Tom!! It would be so informative to see how they applied the training to their lives and how the dogs are getting along now!!! ❤
Cant believe Laura is the star of this video. We are working hard every day. Tom has given me the tools I just need to continue to use what he has taught me. I'm not gonna lie we have good days and bad days but ultimately we are moving forward. Thank you so much Tom and this video is just the icing on the cake for me so I can keep going back and refreshing my dyslexic little brain of all you have taught me. Hopefully you will be back next year
This has been so helpful to me. My GSD is exactly the same as Laura. I have spent so much money on behaviourists and trainers but my latest trainer uses the same methods as Tom. I’m sure we’ll get there. Good luck with Laura.
Laura is a gorgeous dog that will surprise you in future, I am sure. Keep at it, and she will be the bestest dog ever. She landed on her feet with you as an owner.
The man with the shepherd also had that inner confidence so all he needed was the proper trainer to teach him. This is a huge factor in beeing able to handle a dog like this.
This video made me cry. It was so beautiful to watch the German Shepherd begin to transform, and to see the gratitude and openness of the owner. What that dog owner said about his dog and its behaviors reminded me of myself and my Australian Shepherd. Tom is truly living his destiny and it's simply a beautiful thing to watch.
@@SuperNickparker , I love that so much and your dedication to Laura. My boy Koda, a 3yr old Australian Shepherd is extremely reactive toward strange dogs, and strange people. It's extremely stressful. I have had to avoid so many situations and I do not have the life I envision with him. I pretty much only take him for night walks to decrease trigger situations. He has also bit people a few times when he was about 9 months old. Videos like this give me hope. I would never give up on him (or myself). I love him so much. When he is with me or people he knows he is so sweet and loving.
@lisaduehr5306 im in the same situation with my Australian shepherd. He's a rescue and the shelter didn't tell us he's dog reactive, even knowing were first time owners. Definitely partially my fault for not asking, but we're here now. I love him, but walking him is awful. He doesn't get as much exercise as I'd want him too because walking him sucks. He fixates on people but at least he's friendly to them. Hes so aggressive towards other dogs tho. The whole neighborhood is scared of him and no training has worked, which is why im here :') gl with your dogs!
@@willowoahh , I take Koda on night walks where we are less apt to see other dogs or people and when we do, I'm able to cross over to avoid them. I walk him at least an hour every night, rain or shine because he loves going for walks more than anything. It's the highlight of his day. I have pushed through and continue to work with him, and myself. I love him, and we will be together for life. I'm sure you feel the same way about your dog too❤
Absolutely love where he says" that's what a correction is. Don't tell the internet that it's abuse to them 😂😂😂. I got attacked by internet people for calling a dog snobby and picky because she would not eat her food Rae or kibble. And I just saved this dog from a bad situation
@@SuperNickparkerI'm so glad Tom and you got to work through those tough habits Laura had inadvertently picked up and you now have the tools to help Lauren be the best she can be. You can tell she has so much drive and personality that was just waiting to be shown. You can see how much love and adoration you both have for each other. Not you can help calm her nervous brain and the both of you are better off for it. I'm sure Laura is so much more relaxed and happy. Now she has somewhere to direct all that GSD nervous energy. I'm she she is thankful that you persevered and found the help you both needed. Many owners just don't understand and have been misguided with bad advice. It will be an uphill battle but I know you and Laura have a wonderful relationship and life ahead of you. She is so driven and intelligent and you are as well. That and Tom's guidance has made so much difference in a short time. I like how you point out you have a "dyslexic brain" I have adhd so I can empathize. Tom is so great at finding the correct tools for both the owners and the dog. He truly tailors his training to best fit practically any situation. Best of luck to you and Laura. I am so glad you found Tom so you both can have the best life possible. I'm so glad you see that training takes time and you give Laura grace when there are set backs. You see through the problem behaviors and see Laura's true potential. These habits are practically etche in her brain but I have no doubt you guys will continue to improve your lives everyday. Even if it is two steps forward one step back you focus on the improvement and that is what will make you a successful dog owner. Congrats and great work!
thank you for your kind words and support Had an awesome weekend and Our relationship has massively improved since working with Tom. Yes we still have a few set backs but they are getting less and less@@CharlieLynne-143
My two favorite dog trainers in one video. How amazing. Add Beckman to the mix and this video would be the bible. You guys are the absolute GOATs. No Bad Dogs!!
I continue to work with my rescued Labradoodle and have signed up for a private trainer, and I’m hoping it will help me help Henry. He shows so much restraint but cars literally set him off to a level that even the trainer said “wow”… because he is so obedient on every other level . I don’t know what his background was that something traumatic had to have happened to him… Tom you are an incredible dog trainer and I wish you would be sometime somewhere near Chicago!!! I have gained so much from watching your videos. I just wish I could have you privately or in a group for a few days. I know you would help me unlock Henry or myself to help Henry.!! if you recall, I reached out a while ago because he had broken off his prong collar and was hit by a car!!! I did not have that safety latch that went from the leash to his hard collar. Thankfully, he was not terribly injured just bruised and abraised. I now of course, have the safety latch.!!! However I am traumatized by the ordeal and I’m slowly mustering courage to begin again!
Tom, I watch a lot of your videos and Will’s videos. This is up there with the best of them. Fantastic job. I have an 8 month old Shepherd who is ok when dogs are barking behind the fence. He stays with me and ignores them. But when a dog he doesn’t know gets close, he freaks out like Laura. This video has already helped.
Its very clear that GSD Laura looks so confused as to what she should do, like manic a little, she is a beauty and seems super smart and wants to please, she also looks like she would love and excel at agility work and competitions, but she is def in good hands with you both ❤❤
I’m so happy that you are producing a film / video in your vision. I commented a long time ago that you should have your own production company to control your content vs others that were vetting you. So thrilled how far you’ve come and all of us (you’ve helped) with our own dogs.
Yep. As humans, unknowingly we just expect certain behaviors from a dog because they’re..”domesticated,” but..this whole engagement thing is so central to everything. I just visited with Sonja Nordstrom after hearing her podcast with Robert Cabral, and when you see how someone like that interacts with your dog, how simple and subtle their abilities are in creating a total engagement and interest with the animal, how excited and interested the dog becomes you then realize all the lost opportunities you’ve missed in creating a better relationship with your dog..but it’s never too late..!
Love this! Tom is showing the owner how to become more valuable in the dog’s eyes. When they look at you with those eyes just waiting for the next command it’s so rewarding.
Empathy, compassion a oneness with my Henry Bones (13yo passed) & now with my Goose 4mo Brittny. I bond with each & every dog I’ve ever owned. None though as much as my Brittneys. Raised my a set of Narc parents now in my 50’s, married 25yrs… no friends just my dog & me. I choose dogs over friends anyday.
One of the most beautiful videos. Seeing Will and Tom together is like a superhero duo. Lucy and her dad are going to do great after this! I've said it before but I still think Fred needs his own show, he cracks me uppppp!
I just recently got a German shorthair pointer it’s my dream dog I never thought I’d own one I’m so excited to actually really train a dog the right way my other dogs I was younger and had no clue they weren’t horrible dogs but not much obedience coming across your videos got me even more excited to train my dog because up to this point I’ve been doing it all wrong I’ve had him for 2 weeks he’s 15 weeks old I just ordered a slip lead and can’t wait for our journey of much love and affection and obedience
I love this video. Not only do you see the wonderful work that Tom Davis does helping people and their dogs build a better relationship but you also get to see trainers coming together as a supportive community to each other. Team work makes the Dream Work 💪
Amazing there is no substitute for the best I will continue to learn from these amazing videos and I know I will have a better relationship with my doggie after all I'm learning from the best Tommy Davis
One of the most helpful vids for me so far. Im dealing with a reactive dog myself and getting her to stay calm and look at me for direction consistently has been hard. I am making strides though and for her being a pit/dalmation mix shelter mama i am very proud of how far she has come. I know i have to keep steady with mine and hers training so together we can be the best team for each other.
Laura is a beautiful dog, with, and I don't like using this word but here we go, 'potential'. She landed on her feet with this owner who is willing to work with her and not give up. Thank you for sharing this, Tom, another great video that shows that corrections are not per definition scary and abusive, but when done right will provide clarity and assist in learning.
This content is very inspiring to me. I adopted my first dog an Akita Inu, Ice, at 4 months old. She loves people and other dogs. She plays nicely. Walking her is a dream. Then at 18 months her brother Buddy was given up by his first adoptive family. No one would take him. I felt that there was no other option. I had to take him and I did. He had a physical impairment which our vet said caused him pain 100 percent of the time. One of his testicles was inside and had become bound to his other internal organs. We immediately had the surgery to have him castrated at the end of May. It has taken him until the end of September for him to achieve the agility Ice has. He is bigger than her but until now she could always out run him and he could never keep up with her moves. Now he can finally. It has taken months of physical rehab for him. He is better but still very reactive on other dogs. He is no longer reacting on people or kids. No barking and no other aggression. But he is very reactive to other dogs to the point that no other dog owner wants to meet up with us. He barks and walks on his back legs. I have him under control. I bring him down on all 4s immediately. I place my legs around him. I take his head up under my chin so the top of his head is against my chest when I speak to him. When he is not triggered, I can get his attention without this move. He is quite a big boy - 35 kilos or 77lbs. Ice never needed this kind of intervention. He is able to walk past a barky dog behind a fence. He shows no aggression towards people. But he is not able to meet another dog without barking and walking on his back legs. When he does this I get him back on all 4's immediately and we turn around and go home. No more fun when he does that.
Man, did I ever get lucky with my female GShep! Other than her barking, she was a dream girl! Unfortunately, I had to put her down 2 months ago and still cry...she was 14 yrs old. I miss her like crazy!!!
❤ I just absolutely love every part of this video! So detailed the information, the one thing that I love most about Tom is how he communicates with the dog not only that but how he reads the dog and the energy about him… I also love that he can articulate and explain everything so easily so that anyone can understand it and put into practice the things that he tells us to do and it’s really incredible💪🏼🙏🏼❤️
First it's the commitment to the dogs, the knowledge gathered over the years to help them lead better lives. Second how you convey that knowledge to the dog owners, how you explain and engage with each pair to better help them move forward with one another. It's everything - the work you do. Finally, to watch your journey the last few years... the thoughtful way in which you have built your business, the team you've assembled, your vision to do more, do better... dude (!)... I'm so impressed and so happy for you all. There's a show offer coming for sure, there's more ahead. Thank you... 🐾
I’ve been watching Tom’s videos for years now and thanks to him I’ve learned so much about dog training as a pet owner, specifically my 2 dogs, and especially my German Shepherd. I share this info with as many people as possible that I see struggling with their dogs because I did it and they can too. I rep the NBD army and when I started getting really into training with my Shepherd, people didn’t understand, but they saw the result. A well behaved beautiful dog - the outcome of a lot of work and perseverance, thanks to Tom’s teachings. I relate so much to these videos and success stories because it opens up a better relationship with your dog and makes both the owner and pets’ lives better. I’ve yet to meet Tom, but I can’t wait to one day! Thank you Tom for changing peoples lives, including mine. ❤
This video was simply beautiful, incredibly inspiring as well as informative. Had me in tears though. When your dog finally gets it as well as yourself, it truly feels like fireworks inside. Thank you for opening our eyes to the endless possibilities with ourselves and our dogs!
Great segment sir. I always like watching you with the dogs. you have such a way of working with them. i have a high strung 2 year old male GSD that i need to work with more. Hes been to basic obedience training but i've been negligent in continuing training lately. you have shown some really good techniques that may help get him back on track. thanks you for sharing.
OMG I thought I was watching a netflix preview to a blockbuster film 😎 What an amazing job by the entire team. Nick was amazing with Tom in his corner and Laura by their side, I had the amazing honour to be there and meet them all, I can't wait until next year, if your in any doubt about getting a ticket for the next one don't as one day Tom will have his own Netflix show Ps Tom does this for love not the money and fame .
Totally understand the intense empathy felt. I worry about dogs I see and meet often. Unusually so. I have a close friend that needs help with her beautiful dog. She won’t listen and the dogs unhappy but she doesn’t see it 😢
Me too. I’ve wanted him to train our German shepherd dogs but for $4300 plus per dog for this company training it won’t happen. I went to a $90 total for a three month class before and has worked with my other dogs we owned in the past, but these two we have now it’s impossible.
This was remarkably insightful and empathetic. I don't subscribe to "balanced" training generally, but this shows true balance. You've changed my thinking with this video.
What an inspiration for me out of many of the videos I follow and you put out for people. I am a Professional Dog Trainer, and love your passion, as well as your other guests that are in your video, such as Will. Job well done. You've outdone yourself. Bravo.
What a fantastic video!! Nice job to all!! Everything in this video hit home for me in every way. I was able to see this video 2 days after picking up my boy Jax from his bt with upstate and having a amazing go home session with one of the trainers. This video was beyond on point for me. Between the dedication of Laura's owner, Laura's temperament, and the advice from Tom this is so darn similar to Jax and I. Honestly it brought tears to my eyes when i saw this video. I already have the motivation to do everything i possibly could to learn and do the best i could for both jax and i, and our relationship, but after watching this video I'm even more driven. Jax and i have a lot of work to do but im looking forward to it. Thanks for everything you do!!
I have been looking for someone to study, I think I have found him, thank you Tom, I have a very excited male schnauzer miniature he knows that I’m the boss I just need to train my husband
It’s hard because my husband is a boss at work, but when he is at home he is very tense and it shows and the dogs don’t pay attention to that negative energy, so in turn the dogs especially Max( Schnauzer) is very tense too
Wow, you explained my dogs reactivity and even choppy breathing when I take him out. He’s always scanning, looking for the enemy, ready…always ready. I’ve never tried toys outside the house. This is what the K9 officers do with their dogs, I’ll have to try it. My dog is a Pit and looks tough but very insecure. He’s a rescue I got with no history, and yet he doesn’t like other dogs, tolerates out cat through my sons gate, and is afraid of kids. I’ve never had a Pit like him. He’s scared of almost everything. This video is helpful. Thanks for posting.
The production values on this video are excellent! Great material to begin with, skilled editing that doesn't feel choppy, audio levels are even from clip to clip, and nice choice interweaving different people's comments throughout the video. It's impressive that you keep improving your videos and you haven't plateaued. Looking forward to much more😀!
I don't even own a dog or have ever owned one, but your content and the way you approach the relationship between dog and owner is so fascinating. Keep up the good work
I just came here to say well done mate, you and laura will go far!! Also... I love these collaborative projects with yourself and will. Its very cool to see 2 trainers so confident in their methods that theres no need to crap all over other trainers differing methods. Its one of my favourite things about you both. Ive listened to will and yourself address the issues with pp trainers, just so nice and straight up classy. It inspires such confidence in what you both are trying to achieve. Im straight up opposite 😂 i use a herm sprenger pinch on my dog and have been chewed out in public for using it on such a well behaved dog. I wish i could calmly explain how this tool calms my dog and makes her able to focus on me, and the benifit goes more to her confidence than my handling instead, over time ive learnt if i move closer to nosy, rude wanker, say nothing and clip the lead onto the flat collar, and watch how quickly the smug self righteous expression drops off their face and then get to see how quuck they bolt when my heeler immediately tries to eat them makes me snicker obnoxiously for the rest of the day. Not perfect but ill never be classy any way 😂 and i actually feel true joy if someone actually squeals whilst bailing 😂 andnthen ill listen to you guys on a podcast rationally and intelligently speaking on tools for training and id like to say i feel moderately ashamed of myself, but id be lying. I love these stories so much. Im hoping to catch a seminar if you come back to Australia
Thanks great session. What if the dog is not either food nor toy modivated out of the house due to fear? How can you make them be engaged to you? Thanks again hope you come to Greece 🇬🇷 for a seminar !!!! There are some very nice dog clubs that would be interested to host you. ❤
Saw you on Fox Tom. It was great to see you addressing the REAL issues with Commander. I feel so bad for Commander and their previous dog Major. Those poor dogs were political pawns. Pissed me off to no end to see how they were treated/neglected. Neither got the chance to bond to anyone, neither knew who they should look to as the pack leader. I appreciate you offering your services,,,but they would never accept,,,because if they did, they would be admitting to making mistakes.
Political pawns? Don't understand your remark. The White House is too busy a place for the dogs. If they could be kept with the family... but who has the time as POTUS or First Lady without a live-in dog handler?
@tomdavisofficial I can’t wait for Gold Coast in November I’ve followed you from the beginning and been asking you to come to Australia 🇦🇺 The white Swiss Shepherd lady can’t wait to find out we’re I’m going wrong : This training/education session was awesome to watch ,my shepherd s are very skittish in public I’m going to try this working the ball they are not treat oriented at all but loooove there ball ! Cheers mate ✌️🐾🇦🇺🦘
Where can we find your seminar schedule? We live in OR and would love to attend . Or do you have facility that we can board and train/ work with trainers that has the same method as yours? TIA
Great video. My GSD has similar traits with cars and the like. I have been trained with the e-collar but have now given up as she now just blows through it and the levels are getting too high. I am in the UK and it would be helpful if you could give a list of like minded trainers to help avoid wasting money on the others.
I would like to know how do you correct your dog when there are people coming into your house and your dog is not on a leash and barking uncontrollably.
Recently I watched a trainer, ,visit home to train their dog ,that laborer dog was tied with chain and that trainer listened to dog owner ,and then went to see dog I carry steel stick i guess the dog was chaind and the dog quite agressive and ,that stupid trainer started hitting that dog with stick. I was like what the f**** is this a way to handle a dog ??? And people in the comments box were like that the trainer knows well, how to handle aggressive dog and I felt so sorry for the dog that he was surrounded by such stupid owner and stupid trainer. 😞 After seeing this video I'm damn sure that humans do need their own behaviour correction first.
Help! I have the male version of this in a GSD, he knows alot of commands, and I've wanted to get him into bitework, but know that is the wrong thing to do with the reactivity, how do I get him this help he needs...
Our GSD is almost at exactly the same and she has come along way ! It is always hard though to dial in the distance between other dogs as she isn't motived by a toy outside of the home, is there a way to get a toy or item to be a greater focus to her ? Will be trying the impulse training seen here towards her training! Great video.
This is exactly what I just went though. I am so tired. Nothing distracts her enough to get her attention. I hate going on walks it's stressful and embarrassing. She barks at anything that moves.
NY SEMINAR / Australia Seminar/ “Reactive to Neutral” course all linked in the description! 👆🏻 Leave a comment to support 🫶🏻🤍
Just an idea…I think it would be profoundly helpful if you could do some videos checking back with dogs and owners a year or so after their sessions with Tom!! It would be so informative to see how they applied the training to their lives and how the dogs are getting along now!!! ❤
Ermagersh! Very exciting news!
Well done Tom... !
Thanks for helping me Tom

kind words, I'm just trying to fake it till i make it
Man in general shouldnot be afraid to use a high pitch voice while calling or praising the dog
Seeing these two together almost brings me to tears. I adore both of these trainers and have the utmost respect for both of them.
Thank you!
NEVER give up on your dog, he won’t give up on you.

Empathy, compassion a oneness with my Henry Bones (13yo passed) & now with my Goose 4mo Brittny. I bond with each & every dog I’ve ever owned.
None though as much as my Brittneys.
Raised my a set of Narc parents now in my 50’s, married 25yrs… no friends just my dog & me.
I choose dogs over friends anyday.
One of the most beautiful videos. Seeing Will and Tom together is like a superhero duo. Lucy and her dad are going to do great after this! I've said it before but I still think Fred needs his own show, he cracks me uppppp!
Thanks for watching!
The world would never have problems with dogs if we all had the knowledge you have!
Awe, thanks!
Gorgeous GSD and the owner is nice and implementing the changes necessary to have good relationship with the dog.
You and @iamwillatherton together!?!?!? A real dream team!! I'd love to see videos of you working with dogs together!!! ❤❤❤
Cool to see Will Atherton during the video!
BEAUTIFUL! And soooo precious - thanks so much for sharing 😀
Thanks for watching!
Tom is the best dog an human trainer ever. His heart bumb for all the dogs. Thank you 🥰👍🥰
Love his teaching, i learn so much from him just watching his videos. He has so much patience and empathy for the dogs and owners 💗
Thank you!
I just recently got a German shorthair pointer it’s my dream dog I never thought I’d own one I’m so excited to actually really train a dog the right way my other dogs I was younger and had no clue they weren’t horrible dogs but not much obedience coming across your videos got me even more excited to train my dog because up to this point I’ve been doing it all wrong I’ve had him for 2 weeks he’s 15 weeks old I just ordered a slip lead and can’t wait for our journey of much love and affection and obedience
I love this video. Not only do you see the wonderful work that Tom Davis does helping people and their dogs build a better relationship but you also get to see trainers coming together as a supportive community to each other. Team work makes the Dream Work 💪
Thanks for watching!
Just a awesome video!! I am watching with tears in my eyes because I have the same problem with my Shepard. I will not give up on him thank you Tom!!!
Don't give up! ❤️
My 2 favorite dog trainers. Great video
Thank you!
Amazing there is no substitute for the best I will continue to learn from these amazing videos and I know I will have a better relationship with my doggie after all I'm learning from the best Tommy Davis
Thanks for watching!
I can’t tell y’all how much I’ve learned from Tom. He has explained everything in a way I can understand.
So happy to hear that!
Watching Tom's training is a pure pleasure.
Thanks!
One of the most helpful vids for me so far. Im dealing with a reactive dog myself and getting her to stay calm and look at me for direction consistently has been hard. I am making strides though and for her being a pit/dalmation mix shelter mama i am very proud of how far she has come. I know i have to keep steady with mine and hers training so together we can be the best team for each other.
Yes, keep up the good work! Definitely not easy. Glad the video was helpful.
Laura is a beautiful dog, with, and I don't like using this word but here we go, 'potential'. She landed on her feet with this owner who is willing to work with her and not give up. Thank you for sharing this, Tom, another great video that shows that corrections are not per definition scary and abusive, but when done right will provide clarity and assist in learning.
Thank you for your kind words, we are working hard everyday
❤ Love what you do for dogs and their owners 🤗
Thanks for watching!
This content is very inspiring to me. I adopted my first dog an Akita Inu, Ice, at 4 months old. She loves people and other dogs. She plays nicely. Walking her is a dream. Then at 18 months her brother Buddy was given up by his first adoptive family. No one would take him. I felt that there was no other option. I had to take him and I did. He had a physical impairment which our vet said caused him pain 100 percent of the time. One of his testicles was inside and had become bound to his other internal organs. We immediately had the surgery to have him castrated at the end of May.
It has taken him until the end of September for him to achieve the agility Ice has. He is bigger than her but until now she could always out run him and he could never keep up with her moves. Now he can finally. It has taken months of physical rehab for him. He is better but still very reactive on other dogs. He is no longer reacting on people or kids. No barking and no other aggression. But he is very reactive to other dogs to the point that no other dog owner wants to meet up with us. He barks and walks on his back legs. I have him under control. I bring him down on all 4s immediately. I place my legs around him. I take his head up under my chin so the top of his head is against my chest when I speak to him. When he is not triggered, I can get his attention without this move. He is quite a big boy - 35 kilos or 77lbs. Ice never needed this kind of intervention. He is able to walk past a barky dog behind a fence. He shows no aggression towards people. But he is not able to meet another dog without barking and walking on his back legs. When he does this I get him back on all 4's immediately and we turn around and go home. No more fun when he does that.
Man, did I ever get lucky with my female GShep! Other than her barking, she was a dream girl! Unfortunately, I had to put her down 2 months ago and still cry...she was 14 yrs old. I miss her like crazy!!!
❤️
Thank you for that. @@tomdavisofficial
❤ I just absolutely love every part of this video! So detailed the information, the one thing that I love most about Tom is how he communicates with the dog not only that but how he reads the dog and the energy about him… I also love that he can articulate and explain everything so easily so that anyone can understand it and put into practice the things that he tells us to do and it’s really incredible💪🏼🙏🏼❤️
Fabulous video! I just got some insight into my GSD! She is drivey like that. Now I know more of what to do. Thank you Tom!
Glad it was helpful!
First it's the commitment to the dogs, the knowledge gathered over the years to help them lead better lives. Second how you convey that knowledge to the dog owners, how you explain and engage with each pair to better help them move forward with one another. It's everything - the work you do. Finally, to watch your journey the last few years... the thoughtful way in which you have built your business, the team you've assembled, your vision to do more, do better... dude (!)... I'm so impressed and so happy for you all. There's a show offer coming for sure, there's more ahead. Thank you... 🐾
I’ve been watching Tom’s videos for years now and thanks to him I’ve learned so much about dog training as a pet owner, specifically my 2 dogs, and especially my German Shepherd. I share this info with as many people as possible that I see struggling with their dogs because I did it and they can too. I rep the NBD army and when I started getting really into training with my Shepherd, people didn’t understand, but they saw the result. A well behaved beautiful dog - the outcome of a lot of work and perseverance, thanks to Tom’s teachings. I relate so much to these videos and success stories because it opens up a better relationship with your dog and makes both the owner and pets’ lives better. I’ve yet to meet Tom, but I can’t wait to one day! Thank you Tom for changing peoples lives, including mine. ❤
This video was simply beautiful, incredibly inspiring as well as informative. Had me in tears though. When your dog finally gets it as well as yourself, it truly feels like fireworks inside. Thank you for opening our eyes to the endless possibilities with ourselves and our dogs!
Thanks for watching!
what an awesome video!! It's so great to see people healing their relationships with their dogs. Love your work man!
I wish I could explain anything as well as Tom explains dog training
Once again your editing team SO ON POINT!!! The real story telling ON POINT!!!! Ugh bravo bless you all !
Thanks for watching!
Great segment sir. I always like watching you with the dogs. you have such a way of working with them. i have a high strung 2 year old male GSD that i need to work with more. Hes been to basic obedience training but i've been negligent in continuing training lately. you have shown some really good techniques that may help get him back on track. thanks you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
My two favorite trainers 💛💛
Thanks for watching!
OMG I thought I was watching a netflix preview to a blockbuster film 😎 What an amazing job by the entire team.
Nick was amazing with Tom in his corner and Laura by their side, I had the amazing honour to be there and meet them all, I can't wait until next year, if your in any doubt about getting a ticket for the next one don't as one day Tom will have his own Netflix show
Ps Tom does this for love not the money and fame .
Thanks for watching!
Tom works so well with all the dogs. This dog reminds me of some of the behaviors my GSD female exhibits initially with people and unfamiliar dogs.
Thanks for watching!
Totally understand the intense empathy felt. I worry about dogs I see and meet often. Unusually so. I have a close friend that needs help with her beautiful dog. She won’t listen and the dogs unhappy but she doesn’t see it 😢
man you are so amazing with dogs the way you work them is amazing , you're the reason I want to get into dog training
Me too. I’ve wanted him to train our German shepherd dogs but for $4300 plus per dog for this company training it won’t happen. I went to a $90 total for a three month class before and has worked with my other dogs we owned in the past, but these two we have now it’s impossible.
Thank you so much, that's awesome to hear!
This was remarkably insightful and empathetic. I don't subscribe to "balanced" training generally, but this shows true balance. You've changed my thinking with this video.
Thanks for checking it out! 🫶🏻
What an inspiration for me out of many of the videos I follow and you put out for people. I am a Professional Dog Trainer, and love your passion, as well as your other guests that are in your video, such as Will. Job well done. You've outdone yourself. Bravo.
Tom Davis Speaks Dog 💖💖
Another amazing episode... Thank you Tom!
Thanks for watching!
This video was incredible. 🤘🏼
Thanks for watching!
What a fantastic video!! Nice job to all!! Everything in this video hit home for me in every way. I was able to see this video 2 days after picking up my boy Jax from his bt with upstate and having a amazing go home session with one of the trainers. This video was beyond on point for me. Between the dedication of Laura's owner, Laura's temperament, and the advice from Tom this is so darn similar to Jax and I. Honestly it brought tears to my eyes when i saw this video. I already have the motivation to do everything i possibly could to learn and do the best i could for both jax and i, and our relationship, but after watching this video I'm even more driven. Jax and i have a lot of work to do but im looking forward to it. Thanks for everything you do!!
Wow, thank you for watching! Best of luck to you and Jax!
I have been looking for someone to study, I think I have found him, thank you Tom, I have a very excited male schnauzer miniature he knows that I’m the boss I just need to train my husband
It’s hard because my husband is a boss at work, but when he is at home he is very tense and it shows and the dogs don’t pay attention to that negative energy, so in turn the dogs especially Max( Schnauzer) is very tense too
I LOVED this video! Amazing job you are truly setting up the owner and the dog up for success!
Thank you so much!
Wow, you explained my dogs reactivity and even choppy breathing when I take him out. He’s always scanning, looking for the enemy, ready…always ready. I’ve never tried toys outside the house. This is what the K9 officers do with their dogs, I’ll have to try it. My dog is a Pit and looks tough but very insecure. He’s a rescue I got with no history, and yet he doesn’t like other dogs, tolerates out cat through my sons gate, and is afraid of kids. I’ve never had a Pit like him. He’s scared of almost everything. This video is helpful. Thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Omg ty you explain everything simply sne easily. So appreciated! ❤
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos, simple to understand. Relationship is key
Absolutely. Thank you for watching!
The production values on this video are excellent!
Great material to begin with, skilled editing that doesn't feel choppy, audio levels are even from clip to clip, and nice choice interweaving different people's comments throughout the video.
It's impressive that you keep improving your videos and you haven't plateaued. Looking forward to much more😀!
Thank you for watching!
The good work Tom has done is perfectly normal. What's not normal is that the other coaches didn't do it.
Thanks for watching!
I don't even own a dog or have ever owned one, but your content and the way you approach the relationship between dog and owner is so fascinating. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that!
Love this! Keep the content coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Incredible video, the production and the content was fantastic. Hope to see you doing full length dog documentaries some day!
Thanks for watching!
I just came here to say well done mate, you and laura will go far!! Also... I love these collaborative projects with yourself and will. Its very cool to see 2 trainers so confident in their methods that theres no need to crap all over other trainers differing methods. Its one of my favourite things about you both. Ive listened to will and yourself address the issues with pp trainers, just so nice and straight up classy. It inspires such confidence in what you both are trying to achieve. Im straight up opposite 😂 i use a herm sprenger pinch on my dog and have been chewed out in public for using it on such a well behaved dog. I wish i could calmly explain how this tool calms my dog and makes her able to focus on me, and the benifit goes more to her confidence than my handling instead, over time ive learnt if i move closer to nosy, rude wanker, say nothing and clip the lead onto the flat collar, and watch how quickly the smug self righteous expression drops off their face and then get to see how quuck they bolt when my heeler immediately tries to eat them makes me snicker obnoxiously for the rest of the day. Not perfect but ill never be classy any way 😂 and i actually feel true joy if someone actually squeals whilst bailing 😂 andnthen ill listen to you guys on a podcast rationally and intelligently speaking on tools for training and id like to say i feel moderately ashamed of myself, but id be lying. I love these stories so much. Im hoping to catch a seminar if you come back to Australia
I LOVE Will Atherton!
What a great video, well done all.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Fantastic work everyone 👏🏻 Tom definitely is an artist. Sad I couldn’t make it, hopefully next year 🤞
Thank you, hope so!
So great to see more content being produced in UK - gives me hope that some day, you gals and guys will come to Germany 😁
Amazing ❤
Thanks 😄
Awesome video
Thanks!
Thanks great session. What if the dog is not either food nor toy modivated out of the house due to fear? How can you make them be engaged to you?
Thanks again hope you come to Greece 🇬🇷 for a seminar !!!! There are some very nice dog clubs that would be interested to host you. ❤
I want to shadow him for a week!
Saw you on Fox Tom. It was great to see you addressing the REAL issues with Commander. I feel so bad for Commander and their previous dog Major. Those poor dogs were political pawns. Pissed me off to no end to see how they were treated/neglected. Neither got the chance to bond to anyone, neither knew who they should look to as the pack leader. I appreciate you offering your services,,,but they would never accept,,,because if they did, they would be admitting to making mistakes.
Political pawns? Don't understand your remark. The White House is too busy a place for the dogs. If they could be kept with the family... but who has the time as POTUS or First Lady without a live-in dog handler?
My GSD is exactly like this…I need one of those ball toy things 😅🥲
He will help you
@tomdavisofficial I can’t wait for Gold Coast in November I’ve followed you from the beginning and been asking you to come to Australia 🇦🇺 The white Swiss Shepherd lady can’t wait to find out we’re I’m going wrong : This training/education session was awesome to watch ,my shepherd s are very skittish in public I’m going to try this working the ball they are not treat oriented at all but loooove there ball ! Cheers mate ✌️🐾🇦🇺🦘
Woohoo!
Excellent - Please come to Louisville, KY!
Where can we find your seminar schedule? We live in OR and would love to attend . Or do you have facility that we can board and train/ work with trainers that has the same method as yours? TIA
Great way of demonstrating that having a bum bag full of hotdog sausages isn't the only way.
Where do I buy the ball on a rope? Thank You
Great video. My GSD has similar traits with cars and the like. I have been trained with the e-collar but have now given up as she now just blows through it and the levels are getting too high.
I am in the UK and it would be helpful if you could give a list of like minded trainers to help avoid wasting money on the others.
I would never do that. That;s not my job.
What is the best training treat? The one I bought is 'Buddy Trainer' treats and she don't like them one bit.
I would like to know how do you correct your dog when there are people coming into your house and your dog is not on a leash and barking uncontrollably.
Recently I watched a trainer, ,visit home to train their dog ,that laborer dog was tied with chain and that trainer listened to dog owner ,and then went to see dog I carry steel stick i guess the dog was chaind and the dog quite agressive and ,that stupid trainer started hitting that dog with stick. I was like what the f**** is this a way to handle a dog ??? And people in the comments box were like that the trainer knows well, how to handle aggressive dog and I felt so sorry for the dog that he was surrounded by such stupid owner and stupid trainer. 😞
After seeing this video I'm damn sure that humans do need their own behaviour correction first.
Help!
I have the male version of this in a GSD, he knows alot of commands, and I've wanted to get him into bitework, but know that is the wrong thing to do with the reactivity, how do I get him this help he needs...
Our GSD is almost at exactly the same and she has come along way ! It is always hard though to dial in the distance between other dogs as she isn't motived by a toy outside of the home, is there a way to get a toy or item to be a greater focus to her ? Will be trying the impulse training seen here towards her training! Great video.
Thanks for watching!
When are you having a big seminar near NYC? I would love to be a fly on that wall!
December
@@tomdavisofficial is there a link for this somewhere?
@@tomdavisofficialhow do I sign up? Is the seminar full yet?
This is exactly what I just went though. I am so tired. Nothing distracts her enough to get her attention. I hate going on walks it's stressful and embarrassing. She barks at anything that moves.
