Subscribed, belled, commented! I love how with Tom's videos we can see how he is improving as a trainer and a teacher. I feel like I'm on the ride with him, learning together!
@@tomdavisofficial Tom, I pray you can feel how you touch ppl's lives. Seeing dogs respond to you usually makes me happy cry. I like and comment as often as I can because I know it helps you continue to save dogs. I share and encourage friends to subscribe too. Life for you will just continue to get better and better. This I know w certainty. I'm disabled and am searching for a trainable service dog. I can't afford to buy one. So I look to you to help me train. I like your style and confidence over other trainers I've watched. Do you offer online coaching?
It’s always good to hear the owners asking a lot of questions because it’s not just a “fix my dog” it’s a “how can I better myself for my dog”. Plus it’s helps all of us learn too! Great job.
I love how engaged these owners are. They’re asking so many questions and you can tell they’re really trying to understand how to help their dog as best they can
He’s such a happy pup after a little bit of direction! This is a great reminder of how important it is to be the “leader” and not be so hyper focused on watching your dog the entire time. I know I needed to hear it again. Thanks for all you do, Tom!
I love how you explain that there are things in life that keep us humans in check too. Speed limits for example. Same way we gotta keep our dogs in check. Great work, Tom!
The simplicity of giving guidance with direction and positive reinforcement. It seems so easy but us humans we forget this is how we were taught. Thank you for giving us the tools!
This is a great reminder for me to keep my eyes forward. The one thing I always forget is to not stare at my dog while trying to get her to do that heel! I'm so focused on trying to get HER focus, that we just lose it all-together. It's so hard! 😅
In 1974 I had a border collie cross dog that I took through obedience class and on my instructor taught exactly as you do Tom it's so good to see this again so refreshing it's far better to do one little pop then a constant drag drag in the dogs don't learn anything and your reference to being like on a horse with a horse is spot on you can't drag a horse around they have to learn just the same way you don't want to have to drag your dog around they can learn. And to be held accountable for their actions so many times people have these dogs that bark and jump and stuff but they don't know not to nobody's told them not to do it
I truly love the re-conditioning of reactive dog training you do. We are in a similar boat to this couple, rescue GDS/Malinois came home 3/2020. Thank you for helping save her
I love how this owner was so engaged with Tom. Not only did he ask a lot of questions, but he asked specific questions that made it clear he was thinking ahead. He wasn't afraid to ask for clarification and that makes the sharing of information so much easier. The viewers thank you, sir.
The other day I was @ The Met Museum in Nyc looking at sculptures by Degas of animals and my first thought was "wow, that ones looks like Lakota"...such a graceful and beautiful animal...I always say that watching Tom work with her is like watching a ballet
Been watching your videos since I got my dog as a 3 m/o. We're a year and a half further and I am still (re)learning from your videos. I am sure I speak for more people: thanks for the huge value you deliver, Tom. Thanks.
It blows my mind that a vet said he should be euthanized just for his fearful reactivity. 🤯 He’s a sweet boy and he was just looking for some guidance to feel more confident and trust in his owners! Great job Tom, Geo, and Geo’s owners!
Vets are great at medical treatments, surgeries and medicine not behavior modification. It's easier for them to press the syringe rather than use leash pressure or corrections. 🙃
Vets are for the most part not behavioral modification specialists and have limited resources - when a dog displays behavior that is potentially harmful to other people they will recommend euthanasia if the owner is not able to train the dog for whatever reason like financial or liability problems. It's a public safety issue and the vet literally can't offer anything else to the client in these kinds of situations. 99% of vets will recommend euthanasia to people with dogs that risk biting someone. (I worked at a vet clinic for a few years and know this process). I wouldn't blame the vet or say that it's the "easy" thing to do because it isn't, and people who euthanize their dogs due to behavioral issues have usually expended all of their options.
This is the sort of thing that the positive only movement is causing. It's why we can't put laws on dog training methods. We should be able to choose for our own dogs. Sorry I got a bit ranty.
I'm in a wheelchair I rescued a Pitbull from the shelter and he has a mind of his own he thinks he's the boss and I hate having a dog on a dog leash I need to work with him a lot more than I do but there's days where I just don't feel I have a big fenced-in yard he finds ways of breaking out and he acts really strange around kids like I can't trust him and if there is a gate or any barrier in between me and somebody else his defense mode goes way up and I learned so many things from your TH-cam channel I just need to put them to work you have one of the best channels ever I'm going to get me one of those leashes and tried to work with him like he's just a lot to work with and deal with he's strong hopefully we will get there one day he's about two and a half years old 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It's such a great pleasure watching, when your clients and their dogs practically "inhale" the training! The dogs eyes when they really look at them for the first time and you can tell that they are correctly perceiving the change in their behavior. Something like "oh, that's what you want f me to do" or "that's how I should do it" and "ok, you say where to go, you have the responsibility", thats what's lieing in their gaze. It's always fascinating watching how the connection you're talking about actually becomes truely visible. It's amazing how much our dogs are able to give. How much they're giving back to us, when we do the right thing at the right moments. And so the dogs are able to make the right decisions as a result. It's simply admirable how you manage to convey exactly that to your clients. You have my greatest respect for that! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much that we can watch all this for free - in favor for the beloved dogs out here. 🥰 We can't thank you enough! 🙌🏻🙏🤗
I’m a recent follower and I’m so amazed how You work the dog and the owner I’m still working the stray I found in January. It’s a long road but it’s worth it. I’m trying to save his life. No one would take him ( rescues) so I kept him. Today I fell in my yard and couldn’t get up ( I suffer from chronic pain and once I’m down I’m down) Sarge came right to me and stood strong to help me get up. He didn’t care that I was pulling down on him or his collar. Maybe he did find me for a reason. But know he needs to learn to love my family Thank you for giving me knowledge I can use. 🐾
Let me add to the ‘keyboard warriors’…pay attention to this dogs body language walking in the door with the owners, no corrections. Tali down, tucked, head down etc…. Compare to end of video, dog happy smiling, tongue out, tail wagging, looking up. Pure magic Tom!
wow. i just watched a 20 minute video on fixing leash aggression, and i don't even have a dog. tom is such a skilled trainer - really interesting to watch!
I really love how these videos are helping me as a dog owner. Ive got so much knowledge that I could apply to my dog. thank you for sharing these videos and showing how you should treat and train your dog. the way you show it is very clear and very easy to understand.
I love the questions this owner is asking - you can tell he is really keen on learning how to handle his dog correctly. Something I wish to see from more dog owners :)
Enjoyed the video, can not understand why vets are so limited in their assessment. I hope anyone looking for a way to help a dog with severe issues sees one of your videos and understands.
I have a 15 month old Cane Corso/German Shepherd mix. She is extremely leash reactive and fear aggressive. She doesn't like anyone but her own people, she is also a barker and puller. I'm learning alot from your videos to teach her the right way.. I'm thankful I found your channel.
All the books, podcast, audio books, my own notes. But there is always something I can learn and or re-learn to sharpen my skills. There is so much to training that it's easy to forget the small details
The whole concept of confidence is so important. Applicable to everyday life even. When you don’t feel confident, people and animals can read that and then they also don’t feel confident.
Got an english bulldog from my buddy... was told repeatedly how stubborn and untrainable they are. 1 month in and he sits, stays, downs, heels on command. barely pay him with treats anymore. Now its just love and extra excited celebrations when he does what he needs to do. I credit this to tom and his philosophy on training canines. Thank you so much for letting me enjoy my bulldog and giving him a life that has purpose, meaning and happiness.
I just received my own “No bad dogs” 280c for my pit bull who I’ll be getting back from my parents while i was getting my own place for her to be here. Im excited to boost her training. She’s trained with basics but struggles a little bit with wanting to do it consistently.
I adopted an 8 mo XL bully at the beginning of covid and Tom's videos have been a lifesaver and saved my wallet too! Thanks for the continued great content!
Our dog struggles with these same issues. Have tried Mini Educator, prong, gentle leader, with no luck. Stubborn 80 lb boxer girl with a lot of fear aggression. She’s gotten a little better on her walks, but still freaks when she sees other dogs and isn’t crazy about visitors to the home. Won’t give up on her. She’s a great dog.
So good! I have a reactive lab and it surprises people sometimes. Some Dogs just don’t like things, has nothing to do with the breed. You taught me that Tom! Thank you
Hi Tom, It’s Stephen from Savannah, GA. Your videos are pure training gold. I’m currently proofing the basics with my Labradoodle Daisy and I have friends asking me how to train their dogs. I’m thrilled when they ask this because I get to recommend your channel!
I am saving to bring my dog to you. I tell my wife often that you’re the only trainer I’d trust to work with him/us to get his reactivity under control.
i love how once geo had the first correction a switch just flipped and he was so much more engaged and less nervous and stressed and how his owners got more and more confident as the session with on I love seeing how that changes and that confidence grows as they work with you in their sessions. great work!
Hey Tom I'm a big and long time fan. You really show people that it's not the dog that's the problem it's the owners and I've learned from your videos that that's a problem that we as dog owners need to be aware of and stop taking it out on the animals. This was a great video and I really look forward to your future ones.
So encouraging to see how we can improve as human leaders to be better for our dog. Thank you for teaching us how to be better so we can all have fuller lives.
I adopted a extremely anxious GSD a year ago. He just turned 4, he is miles better today. We still have a ways to go but your videos have been such a help. Thank you.
At the start of the training you could see Geo was nervous and unsure. At the end of the training, Geo's body language was happy in knowing what was required. Knowing where the boundaries were. Good onya Tom! (Good onya is Aussie slang for well done) Another dog saved with true human education.
This video gives me hope for our super timid/scared/nervous dog! She’s a rescue and likely has a rough past, but gosh this definitely has me looking at myself and what I’m doing wrong… amazing how it’s less of training the dog and more of training the handler!
I really liked how you explained heel in the parking lot with the owners. I need to work harder on heel with my GSD. He has pulled me down on a walk. He pulls hard on the leash to sniff everything, and I cannot get him to focus.
I gave our dog a job. We were struggling about craziness at people and dogs walking down out street. We have three huge pieces of glass at the front of the house. She can see whole street. So now if I hear a little growl, I go to her, pat her, say good job and reward her. It's much better now.
Tom, this video is, in my opinion, the best explanation you've given that helps us humans understand what our dog is thinking and how they think about what is happening at any given moment, and the best, quickest, and easiest way for us humans to communicate with our dog. How often during the daily walks do you allow your dog to be a dog? What I do is bring my dog in and heal, slow, quicken up, turn and cross to the other side of the road...then after about 5-8 minutes, I tell him to "go sniff" and allow him to well, go sniff a few places and telling him "good sniff" as he starts sniffing. After about 2-3 minutes, "heal" and we're back at it, checking the neighborhood.
No other trainer explains as well as Tom! He has the owners figured out in seconds, and the dogs reap the benefits! I learn something new in every video!
That guitar analogy was gold! It looks easy, it looks awesome, but once you get the leash in your hands it's like...what the heck am I doing? People fail to realise how much practice and patience is required to develop those skills.
Have watched you for a little while. Turned a few friends on to your ways. I so wish I lived closer. I'm taking things one step at a time. Thanks for putting your knowledge out there for us that are so isolated in the country.
I’m an older behavior modification trainer and i think this is the best video you’ve ever done! Terrific clear communication to the owner! Tom, you’re a master!
I just love this young man. His goodness and kindness shows through in his no nonsense training. He has saved so many dogs and given so many of us with reactive dogs hope...Gd Bless you Tom Davis!!!
omg Tom, at ~17 min (when music cued), Geo's tail was wagging, he's walking so nice, he's relaxed, no wild eyes, & you can literally see the confidence & happiness in him. Beautiful! makes tears run outta my eyes lol. THIS is why you're on this earth, the man with the gift & heart for dogs. i freaking love this. ty so much.

Agree! Love to see it!
They were asking all the questions I ask myself every day 😂 Kudos for asking really specific questions, as you said it helps everyone
I love how engaged these owners are. They’re asking so many questions and you can tell they’re really trying to understand how to help their dog as best they can
Same!
I think the thing I like most about Tom is his analogies he uses to explain these training concepts to uninformed owners.
Thank you!!
He’s such a happy pup after a little bit of direction! This is a great reminder of how important it is to be the “leader” and not be so hyper focused on watching your dog the entire time. I know I needed to hear it again. Thanks for all you do, Tom!
Thanks so much Marissa!
Man, I love how relaxed he looked by the end with Tom
Same!!!

The chip bag reference was so good. Tom always keeps things relatable and simple to understand!
It's great seeing how his body language changes and opens up over the course of the video, it really shows much the guidance helped him.
This client asked the best questions. You can tell he really wanted to learn!
I truly love the re-conditioning of reactive dog training you do. We are in a similar boat to this couple, rescue GDS/Malinois came home 3/2020. Thank you for helping save her

Training humans not the dogs. I love it! Definitely so accurate!
It blows my mind that a vet said he should be euthanized just for his fearful reactivity. 🤯 He’s a sweet boy and he was just looking for some guidance to feel more confident and trust in his owners! Great job Tom, Geo, and Geo’s owners!

The dog looked so much more relaxed at the end. The owners asked great question too.
I love that every video I watch I get little take aways to apply at home!
always a joy to see a dog get happy once they believe the owner is in control
Another superb video. Melts my heart to see a misunderstood pup being understood and respected.

I’m thrilled when they ask this because I get to recommend your channel!
This is so much information for someone with a good dog that has some problems. You break it down to simple steps that we can practice
This is the perfect in depth explanation on a basic heel. It all starts at obedience!
Short answer: consistency, you and your dog learn together 🌟
your client asked some good questions here also which helped a lot. Always amazed how simple you make it look.
His tail was up at the end 😊Structure gave him confidence!
🎉 ❤️ Great video!! I'm super excited about the full uncut of this in the NBD members club! ❤️🎉
Same here❤
I learn more and more with every video I watch.
I learn something every time I view your videos!! Can't tell you how much I appreciate you teaching the doggo parents to be good parents...!!
Nice new facility Tom... TH-cam has been good to you!
I am saving to bring my dog to you. I tell my wife often that you’re the only trainer I’d trust to work with him/us to get his reactivity under control.
About time for a new video on TH-cam 💕 can't wait to try your Dogtra 🙏
i feel like this owner will go places, he really wants what is going to help his dog!!
This is the best heal demo I've seen so far! The owner asked great questions!!
What an amazing transformation in this dog.
i love how once geo had the first correction a switch just flipped and he was so much more engaged and less nervous and stressed and how his owners got more and more confident as the session with on I love seeing how that changes and that confidence grows as they work with you in their sessions. great work!
Thanks to you my dog is now very behave during walks. 😁

Wish I could meet you one day in person with my GSD, and do a handshake ! Every video is just right on point. Thanks Tom! Owners did amazing job!
So encouraging to see how we can improve as human leaders to be better for our dog. Thank you for teaching us how to be better so we can all have fuller lives.
Mr Duncan the 11 week old lab is happy your training me. Ty
Owners ready to learn !!! The dog is going to be perfect by your help.
Love the fishing analogy! Something most everyone can relate to.
I'm always so happy for these peeps and their dogs when they get some structure and know what to do. ❤️
Dogs don't lie: tail went up, dog was relaxed - wonderful 😍

Love these owners, they're working so hard and I love to see it!
I just freakin love this channel. Best dog trainer and dog-owner trainer on youtube hands down!!
Tom, this video is, in my opinion, the best explanation you've given that helps us humans understand what our dog is thinking and how they think about what is happening at any given moment, and the best, quickest, and easiest way for us humans to communicate with our dog.
How often during the daily walks do you allow your dog to be a dog?
What I do is bring my dog in and heal, slow, quicken up, turn and cross to the other side of the road...then after about 5-8 minutes, I tell him to "go sniff" and allow him to well, go sniff a few places and telling him "good sniff" as he starts sniffing. After about 2-3 minutes, "heal" and we're back at it, checking the neighborhood.
GO GEO!!! We love to see it. Great job owners thank you for not giving up . Tom , always amazed by your skill and tenacity in helping these dogs !
No other trainer explains as well as Tom! He has the owners figured out in seconds, and the dogs reap the benefits! I learn something new in every video!
Tom, you're the greatest! Watch your vids ALLLLLL the time.
Would LOVE to win your literature!!
Your teaching style helps us all understand how we can help our dogs be successful. Thank you! Outstanding video!
I love how you explain it in a way that makes the humans click to the concept
That guitar analogy was gold! It looks easy, it looks awesome, but once you get the leash in your hands it's like...what the heck am I doing? People fail to realise how much practice and patience is required to develop those skills.
Have watched you for a little while. Turned a few friends on to your ways. I so wish I lived closer. I'm taking things one step at a time. Thanks for putting your knowledge out there for us that are so isolated in the country.
I’m an older behavior modification trainer and i think this is the best video you’ve ever done! Terrific clear communication to the owner! Tom, you’re a master!
It is so wonderful seeing the change in the dog. I could just imagine the amount of stress that would be lifted of for both the owner and the dog.
Always love how you explain everything to the owners!! Leaving no room for concerns or questions
I just love this young man. His goodness and kindness shows through in his no nonsense training. He has saved so many dogs and given so many of us with reactive dogs hope...Gd Bless you Tom Davis!!!
This video gives me hope, I can see my dog in this one and with patience and correct training I want to achieve this for him. Thank you!
I love the way you explain things, making it easier to understand for us non-pros!!
He's so cute! I'm so happy they found you and he will have a more comfortable and confident life soon 💙 🐾
omg Tom, at ~17 min (when music cued), Geo's tail was wagging, he's walking so nice, he's relaxed, no wild eyes, & you can literally see the confidence & happiness in him. Beautiful! makes tears run outta my eyes lol. THIS is why you're on this earth, the man with the gift & heart for dogs. i freaking love this. ty so much.
I always love seeing the improvement in handler and dogs in your videos.
Love how you work with people and dogs. I learn so much from your videos. Hope to see you in person one day.
