Just know that you are saving hundreds of dogs from shelters and potentially death, you have saved our boy and us and we are so happy to have found you and we recommend you to everyone
No Bad Dog Army 🤌🏻
@JOHNNA the link is in the description box. It’s a wonderful community, and a safe place to ask questions without feeling ridiculed.
Facts! My dog had failed at least 10 adoption meetings before I started working with her and ended up adopting her myself. She was labeled as dog aggressive, was incredibly standoffish with people, and didn't know a single command. All that on top of being a husky was really the nail in the coffin for her. She had been with our rescue program for almost a year, and was our longest resident because of her behavior. I started working with her after what I learned from Tom's videos, and now she's a completely different dog. Loves other dogs, loves people, and the fastest learner I've had the pleasure of meeting. Without Tom's videos and the No Bad Dogs army, I wouldn't have been able to bring her home, and I'm sure my sweet Mochi would've been put down
The most transformative training tip for my recovering-reactive dog was to not view a reaction as failure, but rather as an opportunity to be clear about what is acceptable and what is not in our relationship. I just loved the statement Tom makes in this video about giving the dog an opportunity to think. I just wanted the behavior to go away, I didn’t connect it to this meaning until today. Always, ALWAYS, something to learn here 🌺🐶💕.
Thanks for the feedback.
Tonight, I felt like a failure. Thank u for your words. I like how you put it.
@@tomdavisofficial I have faith in you but not people like this... literally gunna get someone hurt or their dog dead...high intelligence dogs need actual work. He is reactive cause who is holding the leash..it's more people training the dog training
🏆❤️🏆❤️🏆❤️🏆❤️🏆❤️🏆
What do you recommend to stay calm as the owner. My GSD recently started becoming very reactive, mostly with other dogs. I get so anxious on our walks now that I fear he can sense it which causes him to react event more.
My dog was EXTREMELY reactive to strangers, children and would loose his mind when he even saw another dog. He made this Dog look like calm in comparison. He literally looked like he wanted to kill and would loose it soo bad that he even nipped me in one of his frenzies but he really was the sweetest dog at home when he felt safe. He is a German Sheppard, boarder collie, boxer cross. He would choke himself out on a slip lead, broke through 3 head halters and would drag me around in a dog vest. He would freak out right through his vibration collar on the highest level. I thought he would never get better and that I would never be a good leader for him. I DID NOT GIVE UP, ON HIM despite the stress, embarrassment and potential danger each walk posed. I watched like 100 hours + of training videos and THIS Channel is where I learned how to lead my dog. I now only use a sprenger prong collar and my dog is a completely different dog. He lets strangers pet him (that NEVER happened before) does not react to children or strange dogs any more and on the odd time that I start seeing him starting to work himself up I can stop him immediately. He even has made doggy friends and we have now gotten him a puppy brother who is just a little 3lb fluffy guy. He is a great big brother and my dog is finally living his best life!! Thank you for all of your help. Your videos are real time, practical training!! No Hollywood BS for camera only 'training' that I wasted so much time on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
Omg that sounds incredible! Any tips on specifically what type of training you did to get him to be OK with kids? My dog thinks it's some crazy thread if someone approaches us when he's on a leash with us to pet him. He starts off with growling but will try to snap if kids get too close (he only let's the really confident ones pet him)
I can totally sympathize with you! I have a little Pomapoo who sounds just like your dog. It might sound like its not a big deal because he is so small but it is embarrassing and stressful and all of the other things you mention. I am not giving up either. I am continuing to train him and I have been seeing improvements! Your post is inspiring me!
@Fruzsina Tóth I actually carried a super soaker squirt gun on walks with one of my Rottweilers and he wouldn’t go crazy when bikes passed us because he didn’t want to be squirted.
@Fruzsina Tóth I didn’t even have to squirt him since I held it he behaved.
Ommg this is inspiring me! Please if there’s a chance that you have a minute to chat I would love to get some tips !
That was awesome. The dog is gorgeous! This owner is an excellent handler. She just needed a little help. Great job on everyone's behalf! Beautiful success!
Such a pretty dog! So happy for them! Thanks for watching, Karherine
The idea that someone would form their entire day around the neuroticism of their dog rather than just training their dog to not be fearful or aggressive blows my mind.
My cousin is like that and her dogs get neurotic and bite people.
@@micheledietrick265 that's the biggest problem, and Tom has said it time and again, the dog is who'll end up getting a death sentence just because their owner refuses to cause them momentary discomfort in the name of behavioral correction
Kates, it’s absolutely insane. I’ve heard some absolutely crazy bat shit stuff 🤫🤫🤪🤪
@@tomdavisofficial I'm sure you've heard it all my friend. People mistake kindness and thoughtfulness with passivity, and while they mean well positive only trainers are so passive they're willing to look someone straight in their face and tell them "looks like you have to walk your dog at 3 am to make sure you don't run into another dog or person, or else you're abusing your animal" instead of saying "let me give you the tools to appropriately manage your animal's behavior."
@@brat_prince wow, this is pretty powerful.
I had a highly reactive american bully that i took off the street. He would freak out if we past another dog and was highly aggressive.
One thing I found that worked for the times where we had to pass a dog was to stop the second he started to build.
We would be 20 feet away and he would start to build, so i would stop and turn and face him. (we walked against the wall so he was cut off) I would wait for him to calm down and we would continue.
3-5 feet later he would start to build (The early signs is he would slow down, and he would stare down) so I would stop again, turn to face him and calm him down. We would not move until he was balanced.
In the beginning we would stop every three feet or so. Over time though we would stop less and less until one day he walked right past the dog on the corner.
Probably the greatest feeling in the world when he did that.
my American Bully is a maniac. starts building up when he sees the dog. He is 65 pounds and I am strong. but. it takes muscles to hold him back…..yet, he is a big baby!!!!
I use that “counter obedience” a lot, that’s my trick I learned from Tom, works wonders. My reactive dog has improved so much, he’s grown in confidence and so have I. My handling has improved so much by watching these videos. It’s been a lot of work because I’m not a professional trainer and made mistakes, but persevering has reaped the rewards. My dog is about to turn three and I think we have made it! If you are struggling and can do it, take out the membership. The full length videos are enlightening if you really want help.
Just love the the calm and empathy from Tom and Upstate Canine Academy, what a difference they make for dogs and owners.
Awe, thanks so much! I love helping these guys 💕
Woah! So incredible to see such a drastic change. Its like the veil of anxiety settled right down and he was able to be a dog again!
Amazing, so happy for them!
It’s crazy how much a professional who actually knows what they’re doing can do in such a short amount of time. I’ve been training my dog (he’s my first dog I’ve ever had) by myself & I’ve made a ton of progress but it took me almost 3 weeks, w the help of amazing trainers here on TH-cam, to get him to not wanna rip my arm off whenever he sees another dog on a walk lol. He still gets excited from time to time but nowhere near as bad as when I started. He’s not aggressive reactive at all, he’s just gets extremely excited & wants to say hi to every single dog he sees ESPECIALLY bigger dogs (he’s a pretty large husky but the rest of his pack is a bunch of small dogs lol)
Hope this helpsb!!!
The positive reinforcement done with proper timing is so simple and affective.
Also being sure to give our full attention while working with him.
Love this! So awesome to see such a great transformation in Kona and his owners 👏🏻 ❤
This is EXACTLY what our 1 1/2 year old German Shep does! Leash reactivity is insane. we have almost given up hope because we have tried everything. He is the sweetest and nicest dog ever, OFF leash. On leash when he sees another dog he goes CRAZY and of course is terrifying looking because it seems like he’s vicious. When he’s off leash (dog parks and if he happens to escape), he runs up to any dog or human and he loves all over them and acts like they are his BFF. Again , we’ve almost given up hope :(
When I started to focus on what was causing the reaction, our lives started to change. I love the idea of returning to basics when you are in a reactive situation. Excellent video.
Kona is one of the most beautiful dogs I've seen. I'm glad he is feeling more confident and secure after this follow-up training with Tom and that things are now better for the whole family.
This was beautiful to watch. I have an American Staffordshire with the exact same issues. This just proves that there is hope for us.
Every time I see Lakota I get super happy. She's the coolest dutchie companion and always so eager to do her job.
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and seen amazing results from my 1 1/2 year old rot/lab mix. He’s still reactive to dogs on walks/guests in my house but I’m hopeful with the progress I’ve seen already.
Your videos are so much help. Can’t thank you enough.
What a transformation! When I saw Kona playing with the other dog it brought a huge smile to my face. I had a German Shepherd Wrigley who was just like this, very reactive towards other dogs, especially ones who walked by the house. I remember when I got another dog and was bringing him home I thought what the hell am I doing, took a day or two and they started playing just like this, what a relief! Lol. Love your videos Tom! We need more people like you!
Structure has helped me and my GS SO MUCH. Thank you for your videos. Patience and perseverance your videos have taught me, and not to expect perfection… progress is key!
One of my favourites yet, great episode! My dog is very similar, learnt a lot with this episode and can’t wait to apply it.
Those owners were so determinded to give their dog a great life. Im glad their determination paid off.😊
It was sooo cute to see both the doggos playing around😍
My German Shepherd mix is reactive to other dogs on our walks but thanks to Tom's videos. We are definitely making good and positive progress. I saw a couple tips is this video that I will use going forward. Thank you for the videos they do help us a lot.
Such an important video, because it highlights that sometimes you might have all the right training techniques and tools, (socialization, prong, ecollar, recall, heel, etc) but still have other major issues.
It's so important to go see a professional trainer during your dogs process, whether your dog has big issues like reactivity and aggression, or not! Trainers can provide so much insight into behavior that you would never think about. It's a big step reaching out to others, especially when you feel like you've done everything right anyways, but so, so worth it. I'm glad these two came with with their dog! Great video, Tom!!
YESSS! Thanks so much for the feedback!
Gosh, he’s so gorgeous! His eyes in the sunlight stole my heart🥰 excellent video and beautiful to see his fears and uncertainties fade into confidence! Loved this!!! Love all of them really but I was smiling ear to ear at the end of this guy’s story😁
This made my heart melt ❤
Just within the first 4 minutes of this, it backed up my theory of my own situation. My dog (that is now 3 years old) has become more territorial of the house and yard in the last year and a half after my two older dogs passed. One was around 13 and passed last March and within a month, my other passed away at 11. This left my current the only dog. As a puppy, she had nervous issues and we worked through most of that but she was still hyperactive. She did not spend a lot of time with the older ones because she was so hyper they seemed frustrated/stressed by it. Once they were gone, her personality changed. Like she knew that she needed to take charge. She's more reactive, nervous, and territorial when she was once sociable. We are working on things though. These videos are very informative.
Love the content and appreciate all the information you provide. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!!
My dog used to be better with other dogs than people. That has flipped. Passing on a trail where there is eye contact he becomes very reactive. Working on countering with obedience and slowly reducing distance has really been helping. When he's with dogs he knows (or ones that ignore him) he loves them.
Man. What a beautiful dog! He owner is actually very good with handling the dog. Great video. Very helpful.
TThanks so much for watching!
This GS was absolutely gorgeous I used to have one many many years ago however he was a handful I couldn’t take him many places I was young and back in those days not a lot of dog trainers around. I now know much more about training dogs and I have an Akita mix he was very reactive to people when we first got him the trainer told me she suspects he was abused as a tiny puppy. We took him on holiday with us quite a few times and somehow he has gotten over his stranger danger fear of people he now runs to greet people when he’s in the mood and he never ever barks at people on our walks anymore. Tom you are an amazing young man and have a gift. Wishing you guys all the best for the future with your beautiful German Shepherd
excellent video Tom
im a trainer from the uk i own a rescue labrador who was attacked by another dog at 7months old and i have had to deal with his dog reactivity i do pretty much what you show here with counter obedience my boy is a trained trials dog and does working trails so is very well trained so i have a fanatstic
bond and great trust from him.the reactivity is very very rare these days as im always proactive on walks instead of reactive i do beleive some of these behaviors never go away
totally we have to keep doing what works keep the positivity and rewards for good behaviour in and around other dogs as more often that not dogs can just go back to what was happenng before .as you showed on your video its not the looking its what and how the dogs react when looking that counts
we just have to keep putting the work in and
its so worth it to try to live a stress free life
for yourself and you dogs.
keep up the great work Tom.
I’ve learned so much from your videos, you are the best. I still don’t understand HOW to make it work if my timing and confidence is not right. I guess I need the training which is WHY I watch your videos. You do NOT shame me for having a dog I can’t handle. Best wishes for your new blessings this summer 👶🏻
So SO happy for you!
I learned with my parent’s dog you have to carry yourself/express that you’re in control. I walk Tuffy (my parent’s dog) with a tight lease then release it as she walks/behaves. But the whole time she’s constantly looking at me because she knows I’m in control where we walk. If your dog is turning to you for reassurance you’re doing well. I know it’s hard with timing and confidence… but once you notice you’re nervous for your dog, that’s your gut telling you to correct it immediately. Best of luck to you!!
Also never doubt yourself. It helped me to adjust my shoulders and stand up straight before I took my parent’s wild dog tuffy on a walk. Animals read body language and i love that Tom teaches that. Just keep your head high and know that your animal loves you so much but they need leadership. And they already kinda know you’re in charge cause you supply food. I learned with tuffy that when i snapped her collar after a barking fit, I only had to give a quick confident glance that I didn’t approve. She would be walking behind my heel after that. It’s so hard to have confidence in yourself sometimes but just know your animal is dependent on YOU. So you have a responsibility as a pack leader to take care of the pack. Don’t let nerves keep you from walking your dog. Best of luck!! 💕💕
She looks like she is learning quickly. Hopefully, that means long-term success for her dog!
I've been watching to learn, I have a dog that doesn't seem to like other dogs making it almost impossible to be around other dogs. Loves cats dislikes dogs. I have learned things that have helped me with my dog!
The thing that’s helped my dog the most was actually working on me. I have to sit down and chill myself before a walk, because when I’m on high alert he is. But when I’m calm and cool so is he. I’ve always said kids behavior is communication so when I started taking the time to communicate that we’re fine with my energy and voice he understood.
My most successful change of mindset was to not have too high expectations. My dog’s reactivity is not a sign of failure but an opportunity for me to learn more of her triggers and what “sets her off”. We’ve just the last couple of months gotten to know each other more than before and I’ve had her for almost 2 years and never seen any progression until I found a dog trainer who told me that structure, consequence and positive reinforcement is so important for her to become a more well behaved dog, also a lot of leash training has stopped the reactivity. She’s been reactive to everything that moves, now it’s mostly dogs that she still reacts on but of pure excitement, so that’s what we’re putting our focus now.
Awesome video. Great to see incremental progress, as opposed to the "15 minute fixes" on other channels. Easy to forget this is a lifetime relationship as opposed to set it and forget it.
My dog is literally a copy of this dog, behavior wise and by the looks, this video give me HOPE that he isn't broken and that I hopefully can fix him! Thank you so much.
This makes me teary because I just love such a good outcome! :')
I'm also learning and using the "Training Between the Ears" system in combo with much of what you do and it's amazing.
This owner is so skilled! Good job 🙂
amazing again, how you change a troubled doggies life,
the weird and totally effective mixture of very finely tuned observation, sound knowledge of dog behavior and superb handling.
Looks soooo easy as it is done by a real pro
and the owner really was magnificent how she changed herself, not mollycoddling her dog and all
This video made me cry!!! Going from feeling fear with the owner to seeing that dog play and roll over on his back brought the tears. I will keep watching your videos and trying with my rescued VERY reactive German Shepard. Maybe there is hope for us yet. Right now I would settle for him just not biting me. THANK YOU TOM FOR ALL YOU DO!!!!!!
This is 100% my 8 month old GSD.... thank you for teaching us there is hope for him!
Thomas Davis is great at teaching people how to understand dog behavior and helping people learn to train dogs more effectively, and the importance of obedience training.
My neighbor tells me all the time about how well behaved my dog is.... It's all because of your videos! She used to be pretty reactive, but now she is great. Thank you!
You are such a lifesaver! Literally! We started rescuing dogs and ended up with 3 reactive dogs. A 50lb GS puppy, and 2 adult pits. We also have a 2 yr old son and 3 smaller dogs. Understanding why they're reactive and how dogs need to be introduced has saved us from having huge dog fights and we have been working with each dog to build his confidence, getting them familiar with eachothers smells, and building obedience in all of them. Thanknyou Tom. All of these dogs were headed to a kill shelter, we save as many as we can, but we couldn't have worked with these reactive dogs without your help Tom!
Beautiful dog!!!
Our relationship is what changed the behavior.
Obedience is key, with accountability.
Directional changes has helped de escalate.
Plus body language and energy, it travels down the leash.
I love love love this video, Tom!! Great explanations and application! Bravo to Kona, to you and the owners!
Such a beaut!! Thanks, Lisa!
I totally feel this, we rescued our pit and off the bat was working on reactivity and he was doing great making strides, his best friend passed away and we took a couple steps back. Worse than when he first came home with us actually. So here we are!!! Back to square one and more dedicated than ever to our journey. Thank you for your videos!!!
Loved this video today. Very encouraging. I have a 2 yr old fear reactive Cane Corso/lab mix that acts just like this dog. Local trainers with opposite views have proven unhelpful. I will definitely be trying this out and sticking to the Tom Davis way. Only time I’ve seen improvement
Thank you!! I think this will help a ton with my 9 month old GSD Lily
Again, fantastic work, Tom! 👏🏻👏🏻 Brilliant; well done! Kona is a beautiful dog😍🐶
Great Traing tip !!! Please keep them coming .
This is exactly what my dog (Steve) and I are like. I so wish we could work with you! Canadian Rocky Mtns are calling you, Tom😉. Thank you for sharing your profession & expertise!
Thank you so so much for this video! We've been trying to get my boxer/rotti mix trained up because he is very reactive to strangers and other dogs. I can't wait to try this out with him. Will be looking out for more of your videos! I would also love to schedule a zoom call or phone call to go over more tips for our boy. My dog Kuma looked JUST LIKE Kona and he passed away two years ago so I was definitely tearing up a bit during this video, but also super hopeful for my current pup.
Very informative and educational. Such a beautiful boy. I have a 1 year old GSD very reactive to other dogs. Will give this a try. Thanks so much for sharing. Love from Australia
This is Bucky to the T. We work on it daily and we are still having outbursts on leash. He is a sweet heart, and I'm concerned since since he isnt solid with his leash obedience, that when our senior dog passes on I don't want to see him revert even worse. Great video it's helping to get closer to a more relaxed life.
When my aussie became dog reactive (just on a leash, very good and social with dogs otherwise) when he was about a year old, I quickly noticed that it was as easy as getting a longer lead (not those flexi type retractable ones..) for him - he needed to feel he had more space to move about when meeting other dogs. 90% of his reactivity disappeared just by doing that, and then I could reward better choices, and in the end it was not a problem in any leash anymore.
Loved this 🙌🏼 reactive doesn’t mean aggressive, perfect example 👏🏼 don’t have a lunging barking dog but I have a whinny crying dog if a dog is super close and she cannot play with it 🤦🏼♀️ noticed that the counter obedience and positive reinforcement help her a ton but wow the whinny mali/Shepherd cry is tough to crack!
Thanks so much, Hannah!
Honestly this is the FIRST time I've come across someone talking about their GSD whining. I always keep my eyes out for any training videos on this but there isn't much at all. My boy who is GSD predominant, lab and border collie WHINES ALL DAY LONG. I love him with every piece of my heart but man I want to pull my hair out. The high pitch whine is comparison to a whistle 24/7😭
@@leannabedore it can be brutal! With excessive mental and physical exercise ours stopped whining randomly and now only does it if she wants to play with another dog or person. The random whining can be anxiety sometimes and we notice exercises mentally, building confidence and a place command eliminated the random cry a lot so maybe try that!
One of your best videos! 👏🏼
What charming owners this dog has ❤️❤️❤️
Poor pup, he looked sad but when he found a new playmate, he looked happy, even a sparkle in his eyes!
Great job Tom, you're the best!
Thanks!
This is so nice to see
It’s just sooo beautiful to see these transformations… Thomas speaks with the owners in an easily understandable way to connect the dog and owner on a more mental level. Turning owners into leaders 🥲and dogs into more confident and happy animals 🥲 ugh well done!!
I am so in love with this process!!!! Thanks for the support Anna!
@@tomdavisofficial hey do you have a website where I can buy these certain leases you use or even the the The collars and all that I wanna get a German Shepard In the future and I want him or her to be like urs and try and self train them I watch ur vids to try and learn so when I do get em and if I ever come to any problems I would already know how to solve but do you have any video about what you should do when first getting a dog like what’s the main things I should do and worry about and what training I should do first and which training I should wait to do
@@gawdlycomp959 check the description!:) everything’s there. as for the herm-sprenger, their amazon lists have a link to an official collar- it’s really easy to buy a counterfeit one on accident.
as for new dog videos, focus mostly just on teaching the basic commands, “sit, stay, down and leave it.” and work on recall. uca has plenty of videos on that.
I wish i didnt have to pay 20 bucks a month for u to come handle all my redzone dogs. I just want to see if we could introduce some together so they dont have to be solitary all the time i have enough dogs for each one to have a buddy im in wonder lake illinois.
The transformation is amazing when you understand how dogs work and being educated makes all the difference keep up the good work Tom!
Yeasss
That’s a good owner, too! Love it!
I've been watching you from Michigan almost a year! So many good points here. That entire WHY is my dog reacting is point on. I still struggle with my mid pup fighting my old dog. the old dog is the problem, she starts the fights from across the room. BECAUSE of your videos, I have been able to identify body language, whale eyes, when to even see the reactivity beginning, how to distract, and redirect, and positive reinforcement. Thank You. It's been awesome watching your channel grow, watching your facilities change, and your consistency is something I admire.
If you ever make a video about a old dogs pack dying, and the new rescue/foster fighting and how to stop it, I'd send it to at least 10 people off the top of my head. Being states away you wouldn't think that my go to advice and human is someone states away, but that's the reality. Hoping you come to Michigan sometime, and thank you again.
Glad it helped! Thanks for following!
What you did with this dog’s life is just amazing. ❤️ We are having similar problems, wish you could fly to Denmark! 🤷♀️
Love around the 8 minute 20sec? mark the little screen pop up when you're showing on how to reset the dog and the pop up was showing what the handler was doing. Love it!👍
Thanks!
Man I remember when you were at like 40k subs. Congrats on your success, you deserve it!
Tom does awesome job teaching dogs and humans
❤thank you Tom.interesting I Learn something today.
Thank you very much for this content i send you a question through TikTok about reactivity and watched many of your videos again thank you for explaining and showing what to do and how to be with our dogs 💯👊🏼🤝🏼
Such an adorable Shepherd and amazing transformation!! 🐾💙
Yes!!!
Dude i love your videos. It gives me hope that i can train my newest Shiba puppy. Ive been working very hard at it with very slow progress but progress nonetheless. Thanks for all you do !❤
Amazing, made me tear up!
Love your work.
You gave them their pup back! Awesome!
What an excellent episode 🐾 caring, loving couple and we learned so much. 🌺 Aloha from Hawai’i.
i raised my girl from 2 weeks old with a bottle and the whole shenanigan's that goes with that. Following your advice she grew to be very obedient, sociable and loving thing ( even though crazzzy hyperactive ) It makes me wonder what will happen when i train a dog that grows up with a litter and mom . Thanks man you are doing a great service.
This dog is so beautiful and omg his transformation!!
Tom is truly "the dog trainer of dog trainers" I always advise anyone to follow his videos and lessons
Great job Tom.
How do you know when dogs are playing too rough/ compatible playmates and how do you control that interaction? Would love a video on this!
Even though I own cats, it's also something I pay attention to. The biggest thing is knowing your pet through and through. I know the exact meow my cats make when they're stressed, playing, bothering each other, or flat out hungry. I can also tell just by body language if someone is getting too rough or it is just them having a really intense play time and everybody is enjoying it.
@@swimmingbird243 cats are some interesting with their body language, 1 moment they can be playful as hell to all of a sudden out to kill someone and then demon possessed...
I second that question. My female GSD plays really dominant with lots of noise and it freaks out my neighbors.
@@swimmingbird243 my pit mix was never in to playing other than chasing until she was 6 and I got a kitten. Now she plays and is submissive to any other dog in okay because she learned to play with my cat that's smaller than her. They learned ques from eachother and have never gone too far. It's so funny to watch them. Last week at a dog play place my dog was playing with a puppy and ended up in her back like "op ya got me" and let the puppy win
Dogs are usually pretty good at setting boundaries with other dogs when it comes to playing. They will usually do a low or deep growl and if the other dog doesn't stop they will do a sharp bark or yip and may or may not show teeth. Some may have their tail tucked and ears back.
Great video, thank you!
I have this from time to time with my GSD and I’m about to quite but I do love him. We’ve shed tears over letting him go, I’m just hopeful I can be helped and he can get trained so I don’t need to find him a new home.
These transformations are incredible 🙌
YESSS!
I have a dog that is very reactive. I enjoy watching your videos. Mine will always be a work in progress. I never stop training him.
Makes me smile when I see the dog get it. 😂❤
They mentioned that he was very reactive around kids. I know it’s probably a touchy subject. But it would be awesome if you did do a training video regarding reactive dogs towards kids. Maybe even what to do when you introduce your dog to your newborn baby!
That's a great idea! My dog started to become reactive to people and specially kids, which is just horrendous. And probably the hardest thing to train, because how would you even get volunteers to help???
You're training methods are not only amazing but also so effective! I've only recently found you on Facebook/TH-cam, after watching Cesar Milan, trying to discover successful training techniques for my sweet girl. Since I watched one of your video's I'm completely hooked! I've tried only two of your techniques on my 2 year old dog and it's incredible the progress she has made. We would love to have you come train our dog! We're in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, not sure if you fly here but we would really appreciate your help with our beautiful girl.
I really Like this "Counter Obedience" training.
This was awesome!
I just started following you but I am so excited to put what I'm learning to the test. My Asha is a 6year old Shiba mixed with possibly German Shepherd or Malinois. She was rescued last October from a kill shelter by a wonderful rescue out here and we fostered her. Fell in love and now she's my forever companion
She's so reactive to other dogs and I think it's from her life before us. She's also very reactive to Asian men (we are a military family living in Japan and she was rescued from a Japanese kill shelter so to my knowledge her whole life has been here). I am hoping I can use your tips to help my girl so someday she can have doggie friends. She was pregnant when we rescued her and she loved playing with her 6 pups so I know she'd love a playmate and my cat just isn't up for that 😂
Awesome team.😍❤️
We have a 5 year old Shepherd named Oakley who is reactive to people, postal carriers, and cars he is an amazing dog that is very smart I believe the tips in this video will help us get him to calm down a bit and realize the world isn't all a place he needs to protect us from .
Lots of watching your videos has helped!
