Will you please make a video on how people should do research on what dog fits their life instead of which one they like the look of!?? This would solve A LOT of problems!!
Burleigh is so sweet and his training is going amazingly! This video did a great job showing the power of having clear work and breaks. I wish I had known more about the "break" with my first dog. I used "free" and I used it to end training sessions, but I didn't apply it in other areas I should have and it resulted in needless confusion and frustration for my dog. I'm so glad I found your channel before I get my next dog, you have really helped me shape and clarify my dog-raising philosophy.
Hi from Louisiana. Just got a 1 yr old dog from a pound. Terrier mix and very smart. Your videos are so good. I need to watch all of them because i really want her to behave. Thank you for teaching us.😊
How do you properly polish up the sit command etc. Like to sit asss you're still walking. To hold it no matter what until you say so in every situation. My dog knows it and will stay but some situations won't. And distance to ask to randomly sit hasn't been established properly. If he's in his bed he will, but if not he feels the need to come closer to do so. And In his bed sometimes he still pushes boundaries and just stares at me.... till i get up and he quickly then does it
Tom when you do a ‘leave it’s and then say break how do you keep the dog from still leaving it? Our dog seems to think once we say break she can have the thing now.
Hey Tom! Love your videos they’ve helped so much with my 7.5 month Aussie shepherd. I do have a question regarding heeling/distractions, at the moment she can heel for maybe around 15minutes minutes just on my driveway but as soon as we go to the main road or see other dogs/people she gets extremely overstimulated. Would you say this is partly due to her age/breed and will get less distracted once she gets older or is this more so a case of just exposing her to these distractions. She’s defo getting better and more engaged in me, but just wants to say hi to everyone.
My current trainer uses pretty hard corrections with a large prong collar and I’ve seen them also use multiple corrections for one behavior before. Could this have desensitized him to the corrections I’m giving him that aren’t as hard? We have had him in training for over a year and still struggling with leash reactivity and staying behind my heel
My GS will heel across a six lane intersection, but no where else, and it’s my own fault for not applying that rule during walks..he’s a puller, but not awful pressure, just..what he wants to do, not a heel. I’ve trained him to expect a treat after heeling across that dangerous intersection and doing a down. After that he thinks he’s on his own. I need to have a talk w his trainer, lol..(me..)
great video i am having a nightmare with my 2-year-old Male Akita he won't listen to much just got him a slip collar at least he can't pull me over now the prey drive they have is unreal.
It might help to teach him the marker system, so you have some clear communication. Sometimes a dog seems stubborn when they just don't truly understand. Satisfying that drive before you walk isn't a bad idea, either. My husky mix is crazy about her flirt pole, which is one way to do it.
Akita's are very stubborn and require a strong leader. Especially the males! They are very dominant so you have to be in control or they won't respect you or listen..
Your dog having respect and trust in you are what make you their leader or “alpha” as you put it. When you lead then your dog feels safe and therefore doesn’t need to guard you. Dogs protect themselves when they don’t feel their handler can protect them. Building trust and respect is both relationship changes and obedience combined. Setting boundaries (using a leash to stop and wait at doorways, teaching place, respect around food and objects) and being consistent in your behaviour, praising good behaviour and correcting unwanted behaviour, stop talking and confusing your dog. It’s all on Tom’s channel. There is no magic command or action that makes you a leader with your dog.
Is it too late to train a 7 year old 80lb Pittie mix? He is a barker and reactive to other dogs or people while walking him. He is also very smart but doesn't listen. Taking in my sons dog who is in a small apartment. I have the room for him to get the exercise he needs.
McCann has an awesome video on what kind of barker do you have - tells you what to do and not do depending on what kind of barker you have. Consistency, routine, good things happen around the new dog, and I always do everything first with the resident dog, so the newcomer has to wait their turn. We do a sit for everything and consistent use of your release word - you will be amazed at how much control that gives you. Hope that helps.
I disagree it doesn’t matter what command words you use. I mean, he’s right that it doesn’t matter to the dog, but at some point someone other than you is going to have to handle your dog. Using standardized command words is helpful in that situation.
@sswwooppee I only allow my kids to watch my dog because everyone else let's him do whatever he wants with zero accountability. I let my neighbor watch him once and he was dragging them even though he knows how to heel. Just because a person knows the correct word doesn't mean they know how to lead, unfortunately. This girl say sit six times. I never let her watch my dog again. I likened it to letting the kids stay with someone who didn't enforce things that you would normally enforce. Same thing happened to my daughter. Some lady was feeding my daughters dog people food after the dog had been taught not to beg. The dog stared at her for a couple of days after that every time my daughter ate. Naughty neighbors!

Watch more of his vids, he does this a lot!
❤❤❤❤❤ the algorithm, suggested this guy and I could not be happier!

I was wondering when we were going to see Burleigh or when an updated video was gonna take place. What a hansome boy!
Excellent words of wisdom...
A dog that understands commands will be safe.
Cool video now how do I get there
Burleigh has the cutest facial expression. He us such a sweet boy

I was cleaning and when Tom said "Fed-Ex guy comes" I thought he said "The Feds" I had to rewind wondering what he was talking about haha
Just an amazing happy dog. This dog right here is all I needed to completely buy into your training methods.
This is perfect. Real life happening.
Tom, Burleigh & County Waste coming to a town near you! Such great training explained so clearly and in a down to earth way. Thanks Tom!
I laughed out loud when the trash truck went by 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha a new character
Everyone loves Miss peaches

Kids: We don't want to mess it up.
Raised right
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 the best source!! ❤
🥰🥰Burleigh!!❤ the best Dog!!!!

Burleigh is huge now !!!
How do you teach break when they don’t understand the command to begin with
That dog is UNIT and he still needs to grow... Goodluck to any would be burglars

If he's in his bed he will, but if not he feels the need to come closer to do so. And In his bed sometimes he still pushes boundaries and just stares at me.... till i get up and he quickly then does it
Can you please do a video on dogs who aren’t food motivated
Great stuff Tom
Tom when you do a ‘leave it’s and then say break how do you keep the dog from still leaving it? Our dog seems to think once we say break she can have the thing now.
For me, break means do what you want.

Would that leash hold burleigh if he wanted to go after something?

You said you used a Martingale collar, but is it the same material as your leash?
Tom, could you please show us how you teach your dog that YOU are the alpha and he doesn't need to protect you from other dogs?
Your dog having respect and trust in you are what make you their leader or “alpha” as you put it. When you lead then your dog feels safe and therefore doesn’t need to guard you.

Tom, Burleigh is almost big as you now! How much does he weigh?
How would you teach all those commands?
How much does it cost to have a trainer teach this I'm disabled an would love a well trained dog my baby passed 2yrs ago
Whats the Race of the dog?

Age doesn't matter.
I think it’s about how much time you spend with the dog and how often you keep routines

those man hole covers are close to or 100+ pounds😂😂
So my 5 month old puppy heels fairly good until he has to to go to the bathroom. Then he pulls until he goes to the bathroom. What should i do
Two dog trainers and no poo bag, lol. Thanks for the video!
His pocket duh

I’m guessing he is now at 95 lbs?
Please do a video on a dog that growls, barks, goes nuts when we meet another dog on a walk
Tom has lots of videos on rective dogs. Check his channel.
My dog is so excitable that she wouldn't stay down she would rather go play or visit with the kids/people 😞
My pup is the same he’s almost 10 months old
Dirty water 97
Hope that asphalt is not hot.
🤣🤣🤣

You can tell them my command is gumballs
@@tomdavisofficial but isn’t that the point? Someone taking care of your dog for you doesn’t need to remember “gum balls”?
