I recently had a GSD with a similar issue. Through trial & error; we learned that I got much better results to have my shepherd approach a stranger on his time, vs a stranger merely walking up & reaching out to pat him 🥴. My shepherd was a West German show line GSD; and was basically an untrained personal protection dog.
It's amazing how resiliant dogs are. Even after terrible things happen to them. With the right leadership, structure, patience, and understanding- they can learn to trust again and enjoy life. This dog has the right people and the right program to do just that! Great stuff, Tom!!
Completely agree. My puppy got hit by a car, fractured his spine and could not walk. about 3 weeks have passed and hes back up and getting over his trauma. Going outside and not afraid of cars anymore. It amazes me how brave he is.
Queenie is such a pretty girl. It’s wonderful that her owners are so concerned about her well being and happiness. Her progress and that of her owners is nothing short of amazing. They certainly came to the right trainer. Thank you for another great video Tom. With each successive one, I find another little tip of something that I either do incorrectly or that I don’t do at all. The cumulative knowledge in your videos and our practice is the only reason I can take any of my dogs out in public.
Yo, your video production in the past couple weeks has gone off the charts. Whoever's, doing your editing now, has really stepped it up a notch. Good job man.
Knowing behavioral intervention is like magic to those who don't know how to implement the interventions properly. Loved the owner response, she really loves the dog and is willing to change her behaviors to make him better.
Awww, that was so good. You could see the relief in this owner. I'm so glad they found you, and were willing to make the changes to help their dog. It's amazing to see the positive results with the right individualized instruction, guidance, and encouragement. Nice job!
This channel is my comfort zone. I have my first adult foster that came from an animal cruelty case (I'm used to puppies and younger dogs), and I was her last hope before being pts. She is a dream with the family, but I just found out she's reactive to random sounds, so I'm trying to figure out what all of those triggers are. The hardest part is being able to do all of this safely, because other people and their dogs are the only variables I can't control.
Well done to these owners firstly for taking on a rescue and then to acknowledge there is a problem, they both obviously care for the well being of Queenie and found the perfect solution in Tom. I'm sure going forward both Queenie and the owners will do just fine.
🥲 I have tears in my eyes, what a great couple and such an intelligent, beautiful dog. We got an older Bluetick Coonhound who was rescued off the streets and was so emaciated. She was in the shelter for 6 mos before she came home with us. I sometimes get choked up wondering what awful stuff she went through during her life because she too gets so frightened of new things and people. She’s not aggressive to people, she hides instead, so I agree, these dogs do have some lingering PTSD and it takes time and patience. My dog refused to heel, sit etc, was not food motivated and she knew nothing. I got a prong collar because I watch Tom’s videos and in less than 15 minutes she “got it” and bang, we had a relationship and began building trust. The part about voice inflection really hit home because I know I do that too sometimes. That was a great point! These owners and their dog are SO wonderful, I learned a lot from this very special training session. Well done 👍
Your videos have helped us learn how to be better leaders for our dogs. I can’t believe the improvement we’ve seen in our 10 month Great Dane-Mastiff mix, in just a few days! 💜
Amazing yep I'm learning a lot from these videos too Tommy literally saved me and my doggie he's the best. No bad dogs doggies are the best always loved never forgotten
Oh man, the owners emotions at the end 🥺😭 I think it's very clear she loves her dog so much! To be honest, I think we forget that sometimes we can love them too much. Remembering its totally okay if not every dog on earth is super social, and that having a nice yummy Kong in the crate when guests come over can be a bigger party than anything else lol.
This video might be a huge missing key for me in my training. I've got an american bulldog too, no abuse luckily but some of the same reactive types of issues with the lunge barking. No bites and the lunge and bark are both warning and bluff. Can't seem to get him not to react so I've been trying to focus on accountability but here you talked a little about how less can be more so maybe I need to find ways to hold him accountable while also being more subtle and chill in some way. Also he tends to be worse in the truck than anywhere else and you talked a little about how being in a smaller space can make a dog feel so that makes sense. Great video man, I love being able to learn these things and apply and test them with my buddy to help me be a better leader and buddy for him. I appreciate you
@@tomdavisofficial It must be hugely satisfying for you doing what you love and seeing these heartfelt results. Changing lives for the better... Thank you!
I have never teared up more often than watching Toms videos it makes me so happy to see the transformation of these dogs keep doing what your doing Tom!❤
@11:07 mark... I tell my clients this all the time. Make it a statement, not a question. They see the difference in how their dogs respond, and they're always surprised at how much quicker their dogs will comply. It's awesome - and I'm so glad to hear you addressing this. :)
I love the way you explain just her being there is training for her just seeing and not being told what to do it is such a great way for dogs to learn and it is training to them. #nobaddogs
Thank you for sharing wisdom and education. I volunteer walking dogs at our shelter. Helping underdogs is my heart. Many have issues. Lots of pitties. Talking their language, leading them with love, and confidence is priceless......You are so appreciated Tom !!!!!!
I live your show. I understand the things you work toward with all the dogs you work with and for. I was a head Veterinary Tech. For 25+ years. I have handled alot of these issues. Blessedly never got bitten! I even loved handling Wolves. I swear if your ❤️ is pure you do better. Not many humans have pure hearts. I have done many rescues if many animals, horses, dogs, cats etc. Thank you for being you and trying so hard to educate people ❤️ Sue Twopony
Love all the videos I've watched. Thanks Tom for educating us about pinch collars. I've started to train my two Great Pyrenees. I've never been able to take them for a walk at the same time. Even individually it was tough. The 3 year old caught on quickly and the one year old is getting it. I know I will be able to take them both in the coming weeks. All 3 of us are much more confident!
So cool! Respect from Scotland! You guys in the US are way ahead of the UK on TH-cam. Maybe it’s the algorithm not showing UK channels but you’re calm demeanour and understanding of dog and owner is priceless. Thanks
My new favorite thing about this channel, his house supportive commenters are of owners. I'm weary of watching owners look stupid or being told how ignorant they are, or how all their dogs problems are their fault. (Which, yeah, often is true). Here I see the onus being put on the lack of education, information, awareness and follow through. I just really appreciate dog owners and enthusiasts supporting dog owners when they're at their lowest and need intensive training. 👏👏👏
Great video Tom. It was great to see how grateful and relieved the owner was towards the end, when she had the training to better deal with her families dog. Having the right tools and training make all the difference.
Thank you for your videos. I have a reactive GSD and because of you, I am now able to take him for a walk! Next step is him not reacting with new people. Thank you!
Such a gorgeous dog. Very good obedience. Owner has done a good job with rehabilitation. Why is the owner continually petting the pup? Too much love can also nurture anxiety. This is a very good video.
@@tomdavisofficial lost Jerry, working with his Shep because she is NOT seeing a shelter and 92 days later lost my mom. I'm around, but only when I have my footing, then I look for your videos 😁
It makes me so happy to see dogs like Queeny be adopted by such responsible and loving humans ❤️ thank you for this nice work you did with her - she seems already a lot less fearful and much more confident 🙌
Thank you for this! We bought a home in 2020 and got a GSD mix- from the county ‘shelter’ he was so scared and once he learned to trust us he was great. Life happened, new neighbors with an untrained aggressive Pitty attacked our boy, and the lockdowns of course kept us home a lot more, and now he is very attached to us and scared of others. Very easily excited. We know he needs more socialization with dogs and people but don’t know where to start and want to be consistent. We love our boy and it still breaks my heart when he runs away from folding laundry or opening a garbage bag- makes me so sad for whatever may have happened to him but greatful he either ran away or was ‘dumped’ (he was a county stray hold when we found him online) and we really want him to be more confident outside of our family and our home so he can be more active with us and not so stressed. Thank you 10000x for all your doing and sharing with the world
THIS IS THR BEST VIDEO ONLINE ABOUT DOGS!!! SOOOO EDUCATIONAL. I HOPE THIS REACHES MANY MANY PEOPLE. IM ANXIOUS SO I CAN RELATE ....MY ENERGY AND DEMEANOR IS EVERYTHING
This was so comforting. Me and my dog go out about 6 times a day for short little walks and training sessions. She has always loved other dogs, but lately has been reactive on our walks. I’m such an emotional person and I’ve had a few moments lately where I just CRIED because I don’t want to fail her. And then I feel so silly that I cried, even though I know I’m far from the only one. It’s always so nice to see people who are so passionate and care so much about their dogs. Makes me feel less crazy. 😅 And so so amazing to see Tom show them empathy and put them at ease.
Some really useful information I'm going to put to use with my rotticorso. You are just wonderful. Queenie is so lucky those people found her & they found you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great video. I've been working on walking my GSD. We go camping during the summer and walking him while he drags me back and forth across trails aggressively smelling every single thing is not a good time. He's 110 pounds and I am going to end up getting hurt if I don't get this under control.
From one GSD owner to another, its almost always a lack of exercises or mental stimulation. Your GSD is likely sniffing on the walk so intensely because they are bored. A good starting point- tack on one solid 20 min off-leash play session per day to your normal exercise routine. You should see results within a week or two. Best
@@Sk8erByTW I wish he would play for 20 minutes. He plays for like 5 and he's done. lol We have a fenced backyard that has a rail trail behind it. All my dogs want to do is run the fence line and watch the trail.
@@tesslee100 Sounds like some creativity will be needed to encourage him to play more... If all else fails, a good game of chase should liven him up! My GSD is afraid of toys but if yours isn't, a game of fetch is another tried and true method
It is so frustrating when they don’t listen to you. I have had dogs that really don’t like toys so are not interactive with humans and playing. Yep, I have labs that won’t fetch! Lol! You mention issues with 1 dog but then say your “dogs” like to run the fence? It’s good you have a fenced in yard. It’s a good opportunity to work on your obedience. Some people don’t realize that obedience work for dogs is extremely tiring mentally. I would work on obedience with your problem child outside by itself. If outside is too much start inside. I would make him heel on that fence line without running it all crazy. The more obedience you have in your own backyard, the more you will have outside in the real world. There’s no miracle cure. It takes time and won’t happen overnight. But if you stay committed, you’re dog will come to respect you and be more likely to listen to you. It starts at home. P.s. I wouldn’t let any of the dogs run the fence line. It’s a bad habit that carries over into real life situations. If they don’t have to listen to you at home why should they listen anywhere else. 🤷♀️ Good luck 🍀
@@rocco2451 We have 2 dogs, both rescues. The other one is a GSD mix. She is so good. She just listens. I do take Steele out by himself to train. He is the exact opposite of what you would think of when you think of a GSD. He isn't afraid of anything, and he is overly confident. He does love a frisbee, ball or a stick, but he likes to carry them around or catch them, but not play fetch with them. He only has 2 issues with obedience. Walks and us getting in and out of the vehicle. He barks uncontrollably for about 5 minutes when entering and exiting the vehicle.
The dog got good training and is obedient with the owners but Tom really knows that to encourage the dog to work with him in the leash is by making the activity fun and engaging and seeing the dog with a wagging tail is nice. I keep learning new things again. Like just let the dog in the other room or that no sit after a stop is also training.
Every video is such a great learning opportunity. The “toolbox” is such a great phrase to use and is indication of a terrific trainer. Slip lead, Starmark, Herm Sprenger, E-Collars, all different tools for different needs. Loved seeing them all at work here. Great job!!!
I’m watching your videos. We recently had an incident where my dog ran lunged and tried to attack a walking dog on the leash. She ran towards the dog lunged but didn’t bite her. Instead started screaming as if the dog tried to attack her.
I literally cried I HATE abusers of these sweet animals and all that is necessary for them to be able to be in social situations. This dog is so beautiful 😢❤️❤️❤️
Nice video with the American Bulldog. Mine has a pulling issue while on the lead. He can pull me around the yard when he wants to. Although mine loves everyone especially kids.
I had the male version of this exact dog. American bulldog that was as good a dog you can have but the key was trust and proper leadership. Every person had to follow my don't look touch or acknowledge the dog, ignore him. People who love dogs need to learn how to properly meet new dogs and not make it about themselves and going omg hi doggy your so cute I'm just gonna walk right up to you and pet you is selfish and the worst thing you can do to a dog you just met.
Hey Tom I love these videos, it's like you put out content with dogs that struggle with issues I'm working with as a trainer and it helps spark new ideas. Last week I started with with a dog that has a lot of confidence issues and was looking for different ways to build up his tolerance to loud noises and fast movements. Looking forward to the next video
Best explanation i heard about how to give a command to a dog is that dogs hear and respond better to poppy sounds. A snap sound of something that fell off will more likely to make a dog jump then a truck slowly driving by. So when you give a command, you need to make the start of it snappy and not long and rounded.
Great video. You can tell these people care about their dog. But I wonder how much exercise the dog gets on a daily basis as she's very overweight. Exercise is so important for a dog's mental health.
Your videos are great but what isn't great is when trying to reach your staff to discuss what training course is best for the rescue I need to help, and no one returns an email or a call. I am picking up a dog this weekend I have rescued from a horrible situation from a local shelter who notified me that he is dog aggressive, and they are going to euthanize him. I just could not allow that, as this dog is truly a sweet dog-- he was chained to a pole all his life and I can only imagine what that was like. However, I have two dogs and need help in properly training this dog in hopes that I can get him to a place where he is adoptable and not endanger my dogs.
I recently had a GSD with a similar issue. Through trial & error; we learned that I got much better results to have my shepherd approach a stranger on his time, vs a stranger merely walking up & reaching out to pat him 🥴. My shepherd was a West German show line GSD; and was basically an untrained personal protection dog.
“I believe I was put on this planet to help dogs” goosebumps !!!

You do such great work. I am so grateful that you share your knowledge and skill with the rest of us humans who just want to help our best friends.
That’s exactly how I work with dogs like that. Now I know how to explain it to the humans.
The dog got good training and is obedient with the owners but Tom really knows that to encourage the dog to work with him in the leash is by making the activity fun and engaging and seeing the dog with a wagging tail is nice. I keep learning new things again. Like just let the dog in the other room or that no sit after a stop is also training.
Every video is such a great learning opportunity. The “toolbox” is such a great phrase to use and is indication of a terrific trainer. Slip lead, Starmark, Herm Sprenger, E-Collars, all different tools for different needs. Loved seeing them all at work here. Great job!!!
Wow what a wonderful experience 😊
I tell people progress over perfection all the time
I’m watching your videos. We recently had an incident where my dog ran lunged and tried to attack a walking dog on the leash. She ran towards the dog lunged but didn’t bite her. Instead started screaming as if the dog tried to attack her.
Love the new editing
Thanks!
Really love your content. I've watched alot of dog training videos on TH-cam but so far you are the best!. Shout out from the Philippines!!!
Bless You...☆☆*
This work is awesome thanks 👍
Thanks, guy!
I literally cried I HATE abusers of these sweet animals and all that is necessary for them to be able to be in social situations. This dog is so beautiful 😢❤️❤️❤️
Great happy ending for her :)
Nice video with the American Bulldog. Mine has a pulling issue while on the lead. He can pull me around the yard when he wants to. Although mine loves everyone especially kids.
I had the male version of this exact dog. American bulldog that was as good a dog you can have but the key was trust and proper leadership. Every person had to follow my don't look touch or acknowledge the dog, ignore him. People who love dogs need to learn how to properly meet new dogs and not make it about themselves and going omg hi doggy your so cute I'm just gonna walk right up to you and pet you is selfish and the worst thing you can do to a dog you just met.
What a good girl. She's beautiful :)
Great video as usual! 👍
The thing with any training is confidence. Any animal including children, will pick up on nervousness and take from that.
Thankyou so much for watching!
Im first and you are so talented at helping people with their dogs♥️♥️
Thanks for watching :)
Hey Tom I love these videos, it's like you put out content with dogs that struggle with issues I'm working with as a trainer and it helps spark new ideas. Last week I started with with a dog that has a lot of confidence issues and was looking for different ways to build up his tolerance to loud noises and fast movements.
Looking forward to the next video
Best explanation i heard about how to give a command to a dog is that dogs hear and respond better to poppy sounds. A snap sound of something that fell off will more likely to make a dog jump then a truck slowly driving by.
So when you give a command, you need to make the start of it snappy and not long and rounded.
She trusted Tom in part because you trusted him. She reads you!!
I really feel the dogs can sense your energy and if you’re just cool calm and collected the dogs will usually follow suit.
U r God's gift to help us with our baby's!
Great video. You can tell these people care about their dog. But I wonder how much exercise the dog gets on a daily basis as she's very overweight. Exercise is so important for a dog's mental health.
What great instructions from a real dog. I would love to be a assistant for you anytime! Easy to see his passion for the animals.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job Tom.
That was awesome what a great video I loved it 😊
Thansk so much for watching!
When are you coming to Connecticut?
💖💖💖
This dudes content is so interesting but it's gonna fuck me in the long run when I end up wanting a dog.
Another great video
Will obedience control violent attacks by triggers?
Sudden quick movements, noises, shrieks?
Seems triggers can launch uncontrollable prey drive.
Love it
Tom… I need you to write a book. Please.
Or if you have any suggestions on educational books about dog training/behavior, let me know 😊
Who's that beautiful shiba I saw you with Tom? Inspiring vid - thank you!
just a board and train
Saving dogs daily
Your videos are great but what isn't great is when trying to reach your staff to discuss what training course is best for the rescue I need to help, and no one returns an email or a call. I am picking up a dog this weekend I have rescued from a horrible situation from a local shelter who notified me that he is dog aggressive, and they are going to euthanize him. I just could not allow that, as this dog is truly a sweet dog-- he was chained to a pole all his life and I can only imagine what that was like. However, I have two dogs and need help in properly training this dog in hopes that I can get him to a place where he is adoptable and not endanger my dogs.
All about controlling the energy and letting people know the boundaries of your dog
yes
❤️❤️❤️
