DONATE TO BONES HERE! www.gofundme.com/f/another-major-surgery-for-our-bonesy-boy?+share-flow-1
I’m interested in purchasing your set up for my boy, but I’m afraid to purchase on Amazon, as a lot of people have said they have received fake/knock-off herm springers. When will you have everything back in stock on your site? Thank you! :)
@upstate canine academy - you are a truly awesome trainer! Keep up the good work! I never get tired of your vids as each and every one is unique and easy to understand. Dude!! YOU ROCK!!!
Is it possible to get an update on Bones? I hope he’s happy and living his best life❤️🐾
as a fellow Malinois owner seeing Bones for the first few minutes absolutely broke my heart. Malinois are supposed to be proud, self secure dogs that will do anything and everything for their owners. I really don't get how people can just leave a dog behind and break his spirit like this... it's devestating T_T
That's why I prefer spending time with dogs anytime more than humans!!!! Anytime!!!!! Humans can be mean heartless!!
May he never be hungry or thirsty.
May he never be mistreated or abused.
May he never be abandoned & forgotten. 💙🐕💙
I adopted a year and a half low energy Malinios who was so fearful it took me two days to get near her. It was like having a wild deer in the house. I have been running her alongside my bike on hills and she loves it. Everyday. The exercise has transformed her. After exerting her, we work together going through basics, sit, stay, come and "follow me". She is turning out to be one of the best dogs ever. I am so proud of her.
Awwwwww🐶💖
This is so phonenmal how much you've helped your dog, what a wonderful person you are ❤
I am in the same position with an adopted Mali as well. This gives me hope my boy eventually is going to get out of his funk.
@@andresjarrin425 It took three months for Marley to unwind and get used to daily routines. The months after that was just repetition and working with her (with daily exercise). I have also taken her to 2 dog classes which has really helped. The trainer was able to help me trouble shoot if I had questions. But a lot of it was on me; how I introduced her to new people, new dogs, new situations. A key component is being calm and let her come up and sniff on her own. Being in touch with other responsible and experienced dog handlers also really helps. A lot is just time, getting to know each other for a good bond. I've noticed that many people do not have engagement with their dogs and Tom Davis talks about the importance of engagement in his videos. My dog is really sensitive; you never have to yell or be sharp with her. I have to always bring my energy down a little so as not to startle her or scare her~just firm enough to guide her. Good luck!
Adopted a 3 year old female mal a week ago, she's literally scared of everything, sounds, other dogs big or small, she was attacked before I think cause she has some small scars. She follows me around everywhere, shakes and claps her teeth when we're about to go outside. She's also very guarding, if she hears anything outside my door she will growl or bark, I don't react to it and she looks at me, then she knows by how I'm acting that's there's no need to be afraid, same with other dogs she'll whine and wants to go after them, even though she's scared.
I'm training her as we speak, got her a good harness so she won't hurt her neck cause she pulls the leash, very distracted constantly like the sweetheart in this video, she's clearly poorly socialized, traumatised and not used to crowded places. She's already doing better, listens to a few commands and I feel like if I managed to do all of this in one week, she's gonna be perfectly fine.
And these videos help a lot, the rewards, lots of activity, changing directions to get het attention back, I'm applying it all, I even managed to let her off the leash and surprisingly she listens really good off it too, just gotta do it somewhere quiet.
Hard work having a traumatised Mal but I love it, gonna give her all my love and attention, she's super affectionate too, wants to get petted constantly, puts her head in my lap and nudges me with her snout if I stop petting her.
I have a rescue story to share. I did volunteer animal transport. One of my charges one weekend, Charlie, was a GSD. He had been abandoned, but in a home. (No food). This was during the housing crisis where many dogs were surrendered because when people were forced from their homes, where they landed was not dog friend. Many shelters were overflowing.
Now, here's the backstory. (P. S. in general I never ask how a dog ends up in a shelter as it is often too hearbreaking). Charlie was found thanks to a pitbull that lead animal control officers to the Charlie's house. He weighed 19 lbs when found. When I transported Charlie, he was still thin, but his spirits were good (which was surprising) and he was going to an owner that lived on a yacht! Rags to riches for Charlie.
I just adopted a rescue from Puerto Rico (found in a garbage bin) and she exhibited the same behavior of wanting to walk along walls and fences. She would "escape" to the corner of the fence and just sit down, resistant to move. Thanks to a lot of patience and your videos, she is 1000% better in the 2 weeks she has been with us. Thanks for teaching us how to rescue all of these sweet dogs.
I still have a hard time comprehending your skill at turning a dog's life around in such a short period of time. Keep up the good work, you're fighting the good fight and doing damn fine work! We need more people with your intuition and drive to guide the dog world to a better place.
Well he's not fully changing the dog's life he is basically introducing the dog to change and the dog is accepting it willingly. The thing is the reps and consistency of this that will truly change the dog. The proof of change is harder levels of distraction. He could not bring that dog back to New York right now although it looks like it. I agree though he does fantastic!
Thanks James I appreciate you man!
@@clairecakes9860 I fully understand that this is not an immediate fix within the videos timeframe. I only state that the dog is now going to, with further training, be able to function within society that keeps dogs as pets. And will be a pleasure to be around! And as mentioned in the video, is already starting to move into the sphere of a different state of mind. If anyone's under any illusion that you can fix a dog in the span of a day, well, is in for a reality check. But, I assume most people would know this, watching any video of training anything. Not even humans can learn something extremely well within a day ;P.
My initial comment was more abstract, everyone's so literal around these parts! The fact that Tom can make some absolutely amazing progress is great. And yes, the dog's life is changed, and will keep changing as he progresses. And this will hopefully continue when the owners come back and learn how to continue to set the dog up for success.
I think most of us, forget that dogs are animals, and as Tom has stated they need continual guidance and leadership. For some reason us humans seem to be ignorant to the fact that they don't think like us haha! So yes, it is life changing for the dog, if this kind of structural training continues for the dogs life. And doesn't fall back to how it was operating before. The dog, from a state of mind perspective, as exemplified in the video, is already on the path to success.
Humans are instinctual like dogs..but dogs do not have the complex reasoning skills/introspection(most humans are idiots with this one), like humans do. That's of absolute importance to remember. And I've always thought Tom's way of interacting with dogs shows it, and am always surprised at how some people completely fail to see the difference.
@@TwoWheeledAddict I am sorry if I came off as off as aggressive in any way!! I was not taking you stating that he trains quickly literally, I was taking the fact that you couldn't comprehend how he did it literally. I now see that you are actually an enlightened dog person and hope you have a good day!!!👍🏽😄
Coming from one dog trainer, about another... we are special types of people. The almost empathetic ability to get into the dogs mind- paired with much training ourselves... it's not magic but it is possible if the dog is in the hands of a truly good trainer.
And as with all things the training only sticks as much at home, as the owners are willing to stick with the structure recommendations that the trainer gives them :)
Who would leave such a beautiful dog in a U-Haul??? That’s unconscionable
People who can treat their dog like this shouldn’t have a dog. Thank you for giving this dog a second chance at life.
The look in Bones' eyes at 16:06 was a look of gratefulness and love. It's nice to see him improve so much in a short time. I felt so sorry for him at the beginning. It's like he is just realizing that his life is getting better.
Yess I agree
@@tomdavisofficial Like someone is focused just on him, and he's understanding as your speaking dog to him. The confidence in him from understanding what you want him to do and his ability to do the job your asking of him was just amazing to see here. Just beautiful. Great work.
I have a rescued malinois who had never been walked in her life before coming to me. 'Taking the wheel', that's exactly it. Just like Bones she is highly fearful and super hyper. She would do the same thing, the trying to get away from the harness and stick to walls. I used my other level-headed and well-trained malinois to help her out. I would walk them together with the new one between me and my dog. Within 24h she was walking on a lead, no problem. Not the same technique...but the good thing about malinois is that they are easily trained and super smart so training goes quickly. Such a great job with Bones!
I have observed that allso . ,dogs learn so much faster from other dogs , especially how to besecure around their human.
Sara T. Malinois are high energy working dogs, every dog needs a job to be happy, but the Malinois for sure. They are amazing smart dogs and u can teach about everything. I’m from Mechelen, the city in Belgium where the Malinois originates from. I grew up with them and my uncle bred and trained these dogs for security and policework. Enjoy your Malinois!
Poor baby. He's terrified of being abandoned again. I will Never understand how anyone can be cruel to a dog. 💔
Bones reminds me of a friend's dog! She WAS the only dog I had ever met that clings to walls until seeing Bones! She is scared of everything and clings to the wall for a sense of security. She has an amazing family who gives her tons of support!
Poor guy, I don’t understand how people can abandon their animals. Breaks my heart 😞
I know it!
I want to see how hard I can squeeze the throat of the ppl that did this to the dog. I bet I can can go 8 mins solid if I control my breathing.
Found one of our dogs on the back of a patio, he was in his cage put out with the trash. He had no water, no food, standing in his own waste. He was very skinny, ears ate up by flies, bacterial skin infection and his nails was very long and curling around.
We have no idea how long he had been there but we knew he would never go back. We borrowed with no intentions of ever returning him. If we had called the shelter they would have just put him to sleep due to his issues. He is a chihuahua, love him to pieces.
The other dog we recently took in, the people was trying to find her a home but they couldn't because they potty trained her completly wrong. They told my son they was going to either take her out to the country and shoot her or put her out on the freeway. She is an amazing dog that just needed to be trained the right way.
It only took one day to figure out what they did, she would go pee then run to the door. I could tell by her actions they probably threw her outside after she went pee inside. She was also afraid of hands so they probably hit her too. She no longer does any of these things, she is amazing.
I could have turned in the owners but I wanted to save the dogs. The owners would have had nothing happen to them and the dogs would have been stuck in a shelter or euthanized. She has a corgi body with collie markings and the attitude of a Husky...an amazing little hyper ball of joy to have around.
changed for good I’m glad you were able to save those babies!
@@changedforgood5761 it's a worldwide problem. Some humans are the worst species ever. I have experienced exactly the same what you have many times and it's always THE SAME STORY - A different dog, with the same type of owner! Animal abuse laws are so weak need more punishment on owners rather than the animals.
First I love your videos poor baby thanks for helping him
You are so kind
I was adopted form Russia so I can totally Realate to him
Tom gave him the job of following him as Tom changes direction. The job of paying attention to where Tom is walking gives the dog something to think about other then being anxious.
This episode is very close to my heart. My cat, Sophia Rose, was terribly mistreated and ill when she allowed me to invite her into my home. Someone had parked a car on her tail. One half of it was destroyed. She was then put into a storage unit and left for dead. She has since developed into a very healthy, beautiful young lady.
This is one of the best sessions I've ever seen, Tom. Just a little structure and a boatload of positive reinforcement really nailed it with this dog.
Best, straightforward, clear video yet, in my opinion. Simple, direct work. Slip lead, direction and body work - then a little food for focus. Great job Tom and pup.
Bones has natural brains, hope not too scrambled! So happy for him, and I hope whoever rescued him will continue his progress! Love the Belgian Malinois...
We adopted a 4 year old Belgian Malinois mix 7 months ago. She escaped from her previous owner's yard and was hit by a car and lost an eye. She's gone from being terrified and cowering every time a car (especially a truck or an SUV) passed us to being pretty confident (although she'll still turn her head to see where they've gone). She's always checking in with me (and has been from almost the beginning).
We're dealing with pretty severe separation anxiety (she's almost destroyed her crate) when we're both gone , and nothing I try has worked so far.
Otherwise, she's fantastic.
I get so upset when I see a dog being abandoned by the owners. You are the best trainer ever to work with this beautiful dog
This makes my heart smile, the relief on Bones' face as the video went on was clear. He's going to be ok 🧡
Very happy for him!
Awwww so glad another animal soul was saved and rehabilitated thru you. He'll make a wonderful pet for a loving home
I think Malinois are probably some of the most interesting dogs out there. I love them so much and it's extremely insightful to see somebody professional handle one
An incredibly gentle and intelligent dog just crying out for help and direction. My eyes are leaking. Awesome job Tom!
You got a micro tail wag when he checked in at the end and you patted him and said good boy. 🐾💕 you made huge strides with this dog hes beginning to trust you already. Good job sir!
I found a pup in the woods and saved her. She had mites,lice,ticks,fleas,animal bites and more. I took straight to my vet. He cleaned her up with such a gentle touch ( I always stay) lol. Fast forward to 6 years later and I had surgery. My mom had to get a quick shower and I had to go to the restroom. I asked Moregaine on the bed and she gently got up( not the normal high bounce she normally makes). I said "help me up Morgaine and she crawed between my legs I grabbed her collar and she pulled back soo gently. I sat up. She got down stood beside the bed while I pusheded to get standing then I had to lean on her and I said take me to the bathroom baby girl and she walked slowly to there. Did the same thing to get me back in the bed. She was never trained to do any of this. I was shocked. I had that beautiful girl for 15 years. She was a Border collie. Dogs are amazing. I would die saving one.
I got to help train BELGIAN MALINOIS in the USAF MWD program over my 20 years. They are awesome dogs but have a very strong pack principle ingrained into their psyche. The random barking in the beginning of the video is the dog calling out to any other pack members saying "help, I am lost, where are all of you?". But as you see in the training, the dog quickly adapted to the new pack (with the trainer as the pack lead) through training. The being pinned against the wall is a defense mechanism where they keep one side of their body against an object to limit angles of attack from other possible predators. This is a low drive BELGIAN MALINOIS and they can make very good family pets with training. High drive BELGIAN MALINOIS do not make good family pets with any training and require an incredible amount of exercise which is more than most people can give them. BELGIAN MALINOIS are by far my favorite breed of dog and I would like to get a low drive female for a pet some day.
You have a great understanding of his behaviour, David. Quite correct. I've had household GSD's & Malinois for 60 years. It's a bloody shame this dog was mistreated. Thanks for your comment. 👍💙🐕💙
Can't wait to see the update whit his humans when they pick him up. He is such a stunning dog
Yeah we are excited l!
he doesn't have humans he was left in a uhaul truck..
I believe his new owners live in New York City. Not the people that left him in the U-Haul truck
Lori Pawsome His was rescued when found in a U-Haul. His new humans brought him to get some help with his anxiety 🥰
@@tomdavisofficial any update on bones???
Thanks, Tom. I adopted an anxious dog about a month ago and your tips will help me to focus on giving him more direction and a job, rather than expecting him to know what to do.
Excited for you!
i adopted two belgians this week! They are honestly the sweetest and so underrated.
What a great session with Bones. The change in his mental state was remarkable. Once you took the drivers seat he was a much happier dog.
Gerry O'Connor Melbourne Australia
Of course he's nervous and afraid being outside, he's been living in a UHaul with 4 walls & no outside experience! The reason he hugged the walls of the building at first. He was extremely insecure with the vast new surroundings. He had no idea what a dog was s'posed to do outside! And of course he's doing fantastic! He's got 'you' working with him!
You are a good human Tom. Thank you for all you do. I joined your Patreon account as a small way to support you and thank you monthly for everything you've done for owners and the canine community. I may have given up on my GSD if it weren't for your videos. You taught me how to do leash corrections properly, validated the use of a Prong collar and taught us about building that relationship / engagement with our dog(s). These videos are invaluable! Love from Canada.
Thank you very much!
The positive reinforcements really help this dog
And with that breed! So glad he is getting the help he needs and is in a better place now, thankfully!
Tom, this guy has many similarities with my dog. The owners are so lucky to have such an empathetic and highly skilled professional in you (the two do not always go together!). Ours was locked away for the first 5 months of his life. First time our dog was let into the yard by his foster owner, he literally dug a hole in the lawn and buried his head in it and didn’t move for 4 hours. Didn’t leave his crate willingly for 9 days, peeing and pooing all over himself. If Bones’ owners are reading, the picture will change as he figures out his way in life, but they are so resilient in the face of adversity that he will come out the other end! I’m pretty proud of how far we’ve come as I was so clueless, he was my first ever dog and I couldn’t have done it without the experience and insight of trainers like Tom 💖
that "no" at the end of the intro always makes me laugh lol. Love it!!
ha! Thats's the ehhhh don't bite me
Same. I know the emotion behind that tone 😂
Me too, I look forward to it.
what a stunning dog! That poor baby who would treat a animal like his past owner. What a smart dog!!!
I think you were the only one that could have given this guy a chance at life. Excellent job.
Makes me cry to see a dog like this ... good job you two 👍🏻. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 🐕🐕🐕
You are so kind❤ a true savior for many dogs
Thanks for watching!
The hardest part is dogs are not strangers to PTSD. So many dogs have PTSD and to many people don’t recognize it.
Watching him come around is like watching you tune a neglected race car! Such a strong, drive focused breed - watching his instincts light up! So much potential. Just Stellar!
What you're dealing with is actually pretty good for Belgian Malinois who sounds like he received little to zero training. A lot of Malinois, adopted by people who are clueless of just how much work is not only necessary, but mandatory, end up being highly aggressive, biters, dangerous, and put down. Too many are unfortunately have that fate, because people think that they're so cool...having no idea just how much human responsibility and work goes into them being so cool.
For at least the first four years of a Mal's life you have to be capable of investing many hoursk of training, everyday, and have them as an inside dog. They are not an backyard dog.
I'm impressed that he isn't biting.
Your training part of your statement is so true for many dog and dog owners.
Agreed. A lot of Malinois are VERY civil - willing to engage man for real - as is the case with many working line GSD's. Tom's very used to working with these types of dogs and clear calm concise consistent communication is critical. Bones does not seem civil - but I didn't notice his age so he may be young or he may just be a sweet guy with a rough start.
One of the best videos in my opinion... please upload more videos on your work with him! Awesome job Tom !
Thanks Tony
Bones is such an absolute sweetheart
I have a dog with genetic sensory processing disorder. Had her since she was 12 weeks old. Super fearful, anxious GSD. She is getting better with a LOT of work, but she still isn't 100%. Worst part is that she is absolutely NOT food driven. She doesn't care if she eats or not, and she doesn't follow food. Nothing really helps as far as training other than being able to run away to her safe place. Reminds me a little bit of this dog, except Bones seems to be workable, and Zoda just....is so tough. But,we have had her for 2 years, and we rejoice in the good. Her fear of people, fear of new things, fear of changes to her environment, attachment to her person (me), etc....are quite difficult.
You are doing an amazing job, even with one session!
I want Thomas to train my dogs too but I'm in Canada 😭 big fan I'm learning so much especially about balanced training methods. I had a positive reinforcement only trainer first who'd get upset with me even if I said no to my dog. But after a year I realized my dog actually needs to be told no here and there and she's so much better that there's now structure. Thank you Thomas ♥️
Poor thing... so lovely to see you be this dog’s genuine hype man. Clearly he’s loving and positively responding to all the praise and treats!
You helped him be happier!!
Bones is gorgeous. Who would leave such a beautiful animal in a U Haul? He is doing so good with the training! He just needed some direction! Great job, Bones!
Ppl that have no business taking possession of canines........
What a sad life for such a beautiful amazing sweet boy, Bones will now had the beautiful life he so deserves... as I’ve said before you young man are an amazing person with the biggest heart of gold and we need more just like you...!!! Much love and prayers....
Great looking Mal. Not surprised by the success in a single session, Mal's live to work and typically can't wait to do this sort of thing.
A month ago I adppted a Mali mix.
Had never heard of the breed before, but his agility and intelligence struck me almost instantly and I soon discivered what we had rehomed a very special boy!
I was led to believe we were adopting a bit of a cuddly couch potato 😂
He is super affectionate, super quick to learn and can almost literally run up a sheer cliffnface for a ball!!!
Amazing dogs, but deffo no couch potato!!!
OMG breaks my heart I have a 3yr old Male Belgium malinios and he is amazing we got him when he was 12 weeks old and yes they are full of energy and he is very protective over my 12yr old daughter and my 14yr old son and he is very protective over myself his momma he loves cuddles and attention but he does not like other people getting close to us at all and he gets very anxious when going to the vet and has to be muzzled as he will try and bite the vet as his last vet touched his privates and he did not like it as she was rough and cornered him my dog shakes at the vets too some advice to calm him down so I can relax him when at the vets
I know it! People suck!
Just my 2 cents, but if possible go to the vet just as a walk into the building walk around the lobby and exit. He may start to see it as a place we go often. If you’re dog is into treats give some before during and after so he associates the building as a positive place. Wear your dog out before you go as well.
That's horrible! My shepherd loves going to the vet. They've never encountered one like him which makes me feel better.
My 5 cent find a vet that understand behavior and stand your ground to them . I'm lucky enough that I found and awesome vet his first vet could not handle him at all and he was only 6ish months . This new vet sat on the floor with him for a good 30 min without trying to examine him I told them when I made the appointment how my dog is and how he reacts on certain stuff and if they could not handle that let me know . Anything they have to do I hold him since it's safer for my dog and the vet and staff. His vet told a new staff of in the back when the tech made it oviuss that she thought I was full of it and the vet said nope bring him back to the room with owner he is much calmer and safe if she hold him.
OMG a vet we no longer go to did the same to my then 4 mo old GSD, she had bloody poop and she stuck her finger in her butt, felt around and smashed/popped her anal gland and made her cry, then they told me she needed surgery for anal fissures etc. It took me 6 mos to heal her little bum and It took my two years to be able even touch (without bribery) around her hind quarters. mine too must be muzzled and still doesn't trust the vet we go to now and she is a lovely person and a wonderful vet. Some people really suck. 🤬
Bones, you're doing great! You're making your trainer look sharp. Keep up the good work.
Bones doesn't feel comfortable on the N.Y.C. streets with all the weird people mumbling to themselves. Perfectly normal behavior.
Kudos to his adopters!
Yeah right New York is high vibe , city that never sleeps, cities have a signature energy and personality , just like everything , and New York would drive me bonkers
Bones is an angel in disguise. He is probably used to getting negative reactions out of people. My dogs also. So I introduce them to people by saying would you like to meet him, or would you like to pat him? My girl is still nervous when people focus on her so I encourage her to just sit and relax while I talk to people outdoors. If they start talking to her or wanting to pet her, she drops to her back and squirms around itching her back, to avoid interaction. I don't let her keep it up, only a half a minute then ask her to get up. Still, they have both come so far from 8 years no leash, free in the bush with a dog door, to leash trained. I walk them each 1/2 hour to an hour twice a day - together at night.
Now there is hope, for beautiful Bones! Dear guy, not his fault :( So happy you are working with him, Tom.
I am impressed! Have worked with animals all my life and trained dogs years ago in the area- Primarily aggressive dogs, it was as a last resort before they may be put down because of their aggression. It was some of the most fulfilling work I have done in my career working with animals, and in my life. It makes me happy to find out about you and what you are doing, and that you are here in the area doing this work! Thank you! (Just recently back in the area caring for a parent during this pandemic)
Well done, Tom; you've helped Bones immensely. He IS a good boy. Hope to see more of Bones and his progress on YT (don't have/know Instagram). The progress so far is amazing; no barking, doesn't NEED the wall, pretty good eye contact and not crawling into your body and jeans. Really is amazing how he's responding. Good job, Bones!
Y'all Be Safe!
Omgsh that’s my dog. Rescued Mal but a female . She would slip out of any collar and is extremely anxious. Am working with a dog trainer as we speak, we are in week 4 and she had come a long way. She is not where she needs to be but the progress has been incredible. She does really weird stuff like stuffing her mouth with rocks when in walks to calm herself down. We replaced the rocks for a big stick she can’t swallow, her “binky stick” has seriously help to take her mind off cars, deers, people etc etc watching everything you are doing here to incorporate to her training. Thank you for posting this videos.
I rescued a dog in Oct of 2018 and was told he is a lab cross. They didn’t know what he was crossed with though. When I got him, he had severe separation anxiety, leash reactivity and social anxiety. I tried going to a group class for leash reactivity, but it was too much for him. In May 2019, a friend recommended her dog trainer to me. The first time I met him, he took one look at Lucky and told me that it looked like he was mixed with Belgian Malinois and he needs a job. After just a couple months of training, Lucky was so much better controlled. After 1 year, he still has issues but it’s like he’s an entirely different dog. My trainer taught me many of the same techniques that you used in this video with Bones!
Poor baby. Your such a patient person, so glad you’re working with him. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Great job, Bones and Tom!!
Love your videos ! A pit bull/ maybe mix has been at my 92 year old moms home for over a year.. needs shots and a home .. mom is on hospice .. he is so fearful/ a stray.. I’ve been feeding him for a long time but the dog pound can’t catch him to help.. I’ve wished for you so many times.. to help get him off the streets.. I’m sure he was abused before he came.
Such a sad history on this little Mal! You do such great work and have such empathy for the dogs. Thank you!
He is a smart dog he will learn the new way of life in a week. He is lucky to have help ❤
Mals love training, and you can see it come out when you're working with Bones. I dont think hell be too hard to work with!
Omg poor beloved innocent dog how can people treat these amazing animals so horribly. Thank you for helping him. They are very intelligent dogs too
tasiawful1: Ikr!! Extremely intelligent!! That’s the reason they’re generally police, military, service dogs because they NEED jobs!!! They are NOT normal family dogs. You can’t just have this breed of dog like normal family dogs. This would be brutal for any animal but especially for a smart breed of dog like this, so it’s absolutely no wonder why he’s this way!! I’m so incredibly happy his family is willing & taking the time, effort & giving him the love & patience he deserves cause if he was @ a shelter they would’ve put him down in a second, unfortunately!! Please be safe!!
Ianna80 Mals are so smart, I would totally choose one as my service dog except that they’re too small 😭 he was probably so bored, I hope his owners do some kind of sport with him to give him an outlet for that brilliant little doggy brain
Belgian Mals are just so smart
Tom Davis is amazing. This dog breed is known for their high intelligence and drive to work work work !!! I happy that Tom Davis was hired to help this dog after being abandoned by his first owner. His owner now saw this dog needed help and got Tom Davis @ upstate cannine academy to help this dog thru its trauma to become the amazing dog BONES will be from now on ! Thank you to Tom Davis for helping this dog ! You rock sir.!
I love the respect you have for the dogs.
Thanks so much! I do love them!!
I love how to gave him structure and a replacement behavior 💗 Love that engagement change. Thanks for it all!!!!
-Stay Real, Stay Safe
Poor guy ... being a malanois just compounds the situation. Dogs are such a Great Blessing from God and it just breaks your heart to know someone abused him badly and just took him for granted. Good Luck Tom !
Absolutely fantastic breed! Bones is a star!
Bones' owners made a great decision when they sent him to you. You're the best.
That poor fella...I hope he keeps progressing good work Tom👏
Such a happy boy to be learning. Such a hard working, intelligent dog. You do wonderful things.
The work you do is so amazing. Dogs and our relationships with them are so valuable.
He’s soo gorgeous! So sad about being left behind like nothing! So amazing with the work you do! Could you do a Second session TH-cam with bones! 😍
Definitely my favorite video so far. He's very intelligent and caught on quick but your style of teaching is so user friendly for dogs to pick up and see almost immediate and real progress. What you do is so important.
My rescue dog used to make the exact same vocalizations as Bones did at the beginning - just louder! Never heard another dog do that till now. Bones is smart and beautiful! Wishing him a happy life and karma to the people who abused him.
We are so excited about Bones. After watching the video he is so smart, he will go very far.
Tom, Mr Bones is beautiful...this video is so good. So glad you can help this pup, what a super smart and good boy. Thank you...please keep us updated on Bones. ❤
Thanks for watching!
I can’t imagine the trauma. He is beautiful. What is the food puck you used?
Good puck lol it’s the end piece of happy howies roll
MALINOIS so smart , every last one of them.
Fantastic info. Rescued a Belgian Malinois cross last weekend, very nervous. Yesterday she wouldn't walk out in the street, nervous and teeth chattering. Today after doing lead work in the back yard she did a short walk out in the street afterwards. Massive improvement. Thank you!
“Genetical.” Tom really do be making up words sometimes 😂
Haha yep
Haha i love it tho
genetical is a word ...
@@louisbildstein244 OH MY GOSH! it really IS a word! I had no idea. Haha.
@@louisbildstein244 yeap😄
Follow BONES’S progress on my Instagram! @tomdavis!
Bones is a beautiful boy and they are a very intelligent breed! Well done on your 1st session Bones!!
What is it that you are using as food while doing this with Bones? Looks like a big circular brick of like Milk Bone or something. Just curious.
Great job bones ,,you remind me of my shepherd. Willow she was lock up In a horse stall for 6 months of her life and would not walk on a leash and cling to any wall or cabinet or go in circles and with time willow came out of it, with lots of repetition we had to build her an Obstacle course and lots of swimming to get willow out of her shell .and not a 2yr old and a very smart girl she had the will to live and now enjoys life like a dog should.. so bones you cand do it too.. your in great hand now luck be with you..
Bones is awesome! Tom I have a question. I have a year old GSD and as a pup I didn’t really take her to dog parks. Now when I do she has no social skills. I had to board her for a few days and she stayed in a corner when other dogs were around her. How/what can I do to help her be more social? I take her to the dog park every week so she can get used to it. Please help thanks in advance!
Hey Lester, I’m in a similar situation to you but a little further down the road...your dog is still young so you definitely can take steps with him. Dog parks can be very intimidating, it’s like throwing them into the deep end without armbands and that doesn’t always work out well! Time spent around older, calmer dogs who really could care less is definitely good to build his confidence. Around other dogs he’ll need guidance, so I’m not sure how beneficial boarding will be unless he is being worked in some way with the other dogs. I’ve found a local balanced trainer who has offered to take us out in the fields with his own dogs so that ours can interact with well trained “safe” dogs who can teach him some dog etiquette where he has space to run away if he wants. He might never be a social butterfly, but getting the benefit of the trainer’s experienced eye to work out why really makes my dog tick will be hugely beneficial for me, because like you I’m pretty unsure of what I should be doing. Oh, and look into the trainer’s experience and approach, not just their cert 😁
Bones is so sweet!!!! So happy he's in a better place !
Thank Goodness this dog found you
I mean, of COURSE he did amazing taking some guidance and structure. He’s a Belgian 😉
Incredible progress in one session though, best breed aside. He’s absolutely beautiful and you are welcome to send him my way anytime, just sayin!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for helping dogs and their owners!
Who the hell leaves a dog in a uhaul T_T poor baby but he is rescued and he is given a better chance in life. =) I know someone who rescued a dog that was abandoned in the desert. he said the dog didnt bond with him but after a while of patience his dog is like his best friend. Thank you Mr. Davis for everything you do and are doing. It gives me hope there is still humanity in the world. All dogs should be in loving homes.
My dog's went from tearing up the house, to couch potatoes as soon as they heard Bones first whine...
Me too! 💙🐕💙
Mine were barking at something in the front yard. As soon as my GSD heard Bones, he came over with his head cocked to check it out. Then he calmed down. My GSD mix ignored it as he always does anything on TV or other media.
@@ralphandleosmom9075 GSD's are like little furry mind readers. Mine always know when there's something wrong and exactly what they need to do, to get me feeling better. Even when I think that they're wrong and just trying to be a pain in the ass, they always end up being right. (Man's best friend and in return, we lock'em up in Uhauls...)
Jennifer Kristen: Animals are so awesome, that’s frickin’ adorable!! My tuxedo cat Zuit was like this to a T too!!! Plus he would not leave me alone till HE felt I was ok & not the other way around 🤦🏼♀️🤣 They are our ❤️’s & they always deserve the absolute best & all the love in the world!!! Please be safe!!!
Jennifer Kristen My boys sleep in my room, the older dog in my bed. They’re spoiled indoor dogs as they should be. I don’t understand how anyone can be cruel to dogs. They’re pure love.
Hey Tom, Love what you are doing...
Quick Question: What size herm sprenger do you recommend for my 98lb German Shepherd?
I got the 3.0 with the front clasp, but you need to measure their neck and take out links as needed to get the right fit. Best advice from Tom ever.
I got the 2.25 Herm Sprenger because that's what Tom uses for most, my GSD is only 65lbs and it actually stays in place better than any other collar I've tried, what a difference it's made in control and pulling. My GSD/Wolfhound mix is about the same size as your pup and I got him the 2.25 too, works great.
@@Rebecca-qx1et
Good to know that it helped you a lot with training, i just hope 2.25 wouldn't be too small for my dog.
@@newlyenlightened8775 thanks man!! I think I'll get 3.0 for my dog too!!
I’ve got a very thick necked Labrador, a 2.25 works better for her than the 3.0, I would stick to a 2.25 because it’s lighter, easier to get a good fit, and gives a better correction, but it really doesn’t matter much with a dog the size of yours.
You truly have a gift and I am glad that you're using it.
Such a good boy Bones!
Please record with a fixed point instead of so much motion in the clips if you can, it gives me motion sickness and even though I want to watch I get sick watching the videos :(
Ya, same here sometimes but I know its hard to follow them going around so much. At least he has no rapid flashing frames.
Same
