[@juanalcantar3043]

I would love to win one :( I feel like I could round out my dog very well with it but I’m gonna save money for it hopefully we get it sometime soon!

[@kellycasperhanson4426]

I really admire Tom Davis's integrity. He's willing to admit when he needs to change his plan with a dog. Fortunately, he has a huge "toolbox" of training techniques👍.

[@brookejon3695]

Great video! And I feel like another great way to “socialize” a dog is to just let them exist around other people/dogs without having to approach them. Teaching a good place command and having them just observe and soak in the environment around them can be really beneficial in the early stages of their life!

[@Missfoxtooyou]

Exactly! Socialized dog does not need to engage, just be neutral around dogs and people.

[@Erin_29]

Yes so true!

[@ABCdogtraining802]

Well said, Lord!! proper socialization is just that....at a great distance until neutral/calm, a bit closer next day, back up if needed, slow and steady!! Vital!

[@zelina6595]

I feel like more people need to understand this! My gsd finally got to play with another dog at 1.5 years old, he's now 3 and has never had issues with other dogs, chase or rough play

[@halfbakednbearded4996]

It has been hard to find a class or group of dogs( thats not the dog park)in my area that understand that I don't need help with obedience but just a stable group of dogs to socialize my dog with

[@twinklesailhorse]

It’s so cool to see how quickly the boxer adapted to the E collar and how the owner got her timing down. Its also amazing how quickly Tom reads and adapts the training technique to each individual dog. So inspiring to watch the owners gain confidence in their ability to handle their dog. Thank you Tom, for so much usable content! You are a God-send for so many of us!

[@colajacks571]

Totally feel for the owner! There is so much shaming out there about using certain equipment. I wasted so much time on techniques that made my dog so much worse. Thank you Tom and UCA for putting out these videos. It's changing so many handler-dog relationships!!

[@mskatefish]

Hundred percent

[@Amy-ru1ee]

I like how Tom shows and explains why we need different tools and how all tools don't work for all dogs. This boxer did not respond to positive only, got frustrated with the prong and needed more pressure than the slip collar. The e-collar was the best choice in this case.

[@johneasmith9678]

I loved how Sunny got so happy when she got praised! She almost danced with how happy she was that she got it right.

[@moonmoon7319]

Love your videos man! Even though I don’t have any behavioral problems with my dog I still use your techniques to build a better relationship with him. We get compliments where ever we go and I always tell people to check out your videos

[@karenwolfsen]

I’m really loving your videos. I rescued/ found a stray dog. No collar no chip no one claimed him. He’s fearful of people and very reactive. He loves and adores me. He’s fairly obedient. I can’t get him to trust, not bark/ lunge at other people. He does not like my family. No rescue replied to me when I asked for help. The vet told me he’s a liability and will never be adoptable. I’ve had him in my home because I refuse to send him to the shelter and know they’d put him down. He’s about 8 months old. He’s smart and affectionate. He loves other dogs. He loves me. I tried adopting him out 3 times during the first two weeks but he wouldn’t let anyone near him. He was/ is so good with me I never expected these reactions to others. I’m slowly working with him and he’s doing better little by little. I’ve had dogs my whole life but never one like him, so I’m learning how to help him best I can. I recently found your videos and they are great. You make so much sense to me. Thank You I’m learning a lot from you. #savingsarge.

[@chrisscinta1973]

I train my dogs regularly. One is perfect on the leas. At one time he did alligator rolls when I put on a leash. My second boy occasionally, unexpectedly will lunge at something while on the leash. Catches me off guard, but I’ve learned to better time my correction thanks to you. Recently he has begun playing with dogs off leash and having a ball. Your videos are AMAZING!

[@danni9765]

You make dog training seem a little less daunting and actually a task to look forward too! My dog is your stereotypical lab with a prey drive out of this world. Having a strong leave it has been a task to work on since she was a pup . I have been wanting to train with an e collar for a better off leash experience, just haven’t officially invested in one yet. Thank you for your good and clear explanations, they’ve really helped!

[@Bellencer]

Props to this owner for sticking with her dog and working so hard with her!

[@tamaraquaglino4071]

I love how you broke down the tools and how Sunny responded to each tool to explain why a specific tool worked better for her

[@afs0073]

16:00 The boxer owner had great questions! Thank you for all your hard work Tom 💜

[@inidiaz3]

I'm on my 4th Boxer & love the breed. Finally, a video addressing some of their specific nuances. I can relate to the owner & Sonny from start to finish. More Boxers please. 🐾

[@Casselle]

This owner has very similar feelings to how I did when I first considered using an ecollar. The negative propaganda out there regarding ecollars, even when you know you are going to use the tool safely and responsibly, can be really hard to deal with. It's so reassuring to see a properly applied tool help behaviour change so quickly.

[@sugarnspice9000]

As a dog trainer who doesn't personally use these tools for my clients, I'll also never tell a client it's wrong to use these tools because each dog is different in their needs and sometimes this is the best tool when you've exhausted all other options. I've trained dogs and clients who just didn't enjoy the long term effects of these training tools but I feel they can work when taught how to use them appropriately. I could see her mental struggle and I LOVE that she challenged him with those questions about what is the dog really associating this vibrate to and tom answered with ease and confidence. awesome trainer!

[@colinjudge6996]

Sugarspice9000, what "long term effects" have you seen? I was ambivalent about ecollar initially but my dog has fantastic life now,long off lead walks and actually more positive reinforcement because his obedience is so good!

[@sugarnspice9000]

@@colinjudge6996 they said they saw more aggression over time, dog became sensitive to the equipment and would go after her if she had it in her hands, so she couldn't use it anymore hence her switch to different equipment. Each dog is different in the way they handle/tolerate things tho 🤷‍♀️

[@colinjudge6996]

@@sugarnspice9000 Interesting. Perhaps she did not pair it with enough positive reinforcement and clearly somehow advertised the fact she was using equipment to her dog. A preliminary period of collar on dog and control in her hand with no use might have avoided this.

[@sugarnspice9000]

@@colinjudge6996 yeah I'm not sure but she likely misunderstood her previous trainer or the previous trainer gave her incorrect directions. I do find that clients often mishear or misconstrue directions and when they come back they report it's "not working"

[@kathyhaas5440]

YES! “she seems much happier” Great work!! My trainer went to the e-collar to help with my dog’s explosive reactivity. It worked!! It’s like she learned she doesn’t’ have to get all upset like that! She can choose to ignore whatever it is that used to set her off, and just be a happy dog, doing happy dog things!♥️

[@ronishaellis2968]

I love when the owners ask questions to improve on themselves

[@PopTart456]

Tom dragging around the stuffed dog makes me chuckle every time

[@alwaysovercomingbear4809]

I am so thankful to have found this channel!

[@kingstomhu]

Love the way you work with ppl. Just real things without bullshit and "whispering". Thanks a lot.

[@sdeaglefeather]

Love it! I have a boxer who learned this behavior with prong collar and mini trainer. She responds to me telling her to sit and wait. If we continue to walk by another dog I tell her “with me” and we just move on by. Boxers are so sensitive to commands. I see this girl dropping her head when corrected. They are so smart.

[@cerahmacintyre1702]

Excellent example of how there is no " one Best" tool to use in behaviour modification! I loved seeing an owner who was nervous to try the ecollar get a great result and feel comfortable with it!

[@lorellagino892]

What a super dedicated dog owner!!! Thank you for working with your dog and not giving up on her.

[@manonarmit333]

My younger Malinois redirects when a prong is used. Love that Tom uses many different tools in his toolbox.

[@kimrutkoski4182]

She's a very good fur mom... Good job young lady

[@peks4924]

You could clearly see in the owner’s face a huge weight lifted off her shoulders when her dog didn’t react around other dogs! So heartwarming to see as a lot of us can relate having a reactive dog!

[@MoeFoeJo]

I literally watch all this guy's videos even if it's not a particular problem I'm having with my dog at the moment. I always feel like I'm learning something I can use to help my dog and I am forever grateful.

[@diananorton8064]

This was REALLY helpful to see Tom instructing the difference in correcting with leash and collar. Thanks so much.

[@k_rae0nherway980]

The education in this video is so effective in helping me understand my Biggie! The prong just escalates her behavior. Wow!

[@lateepiphany]

You are making me smarter day by day. Thank you

[@TheDarleneBrandon]

The owner is amazing.. asked lots of questions. 💯 🔥🔥🔥

[@Roquentinful]

This is spot on on my story as a dog owner! We took our 14 weeks old Malinois to puppyclass wearing a regular collar and got practically yelled at for wearing a collar (???) and we bought a frontclip harness at the facility. From age 14 weeks to 9 months he had the harness and he was pulling us everywhere and we fed him treats all the time (because positive only) so now we have a reactive dog who expects treats after a major barking-at-strangers-moment.Yay :')

[@juliajones9297]

I'm happy to see them have such success with the e-collar! I switched to a herm springer prong collar, but my pup is a rescue who was shot in the neck and I think the prongs are aggravating the shrapnel that remain in her neck. I am going to switch to an e-collar now and hope for the same results! Will focus on our timing, as I know you always say this is critical. thanks, Tom!

[@ThatProjektKate]

After a local trainer had introduced us to the idea of potentially needing to invest in an ecollar for our training with our 6 yr old ACD and his leash reactivity I binged watched all of Tom’s videos to learn more about them. Then when our now 1 yr ACD arrived and we struggled again with leash reactivity, tried use a slip (prong collars are very hard to come by here in aus) he redirected onto me on a walk one morning I thought why not give it a shot, because we couldn’t keep doing what we were doing. What was him flying at the end of the leash to get to car, dogs, people etc we are now able to communicate so effectively and enjoy our walks, loose leash with no issues at all. He is a much happier boy. It has even given me the confidence and ability to walk him and his older brother together alone.

[@vicuhh94]

Just came from tiktok and had to watch the newest episode, your videos never get old! Great stuff, seriously. 😍

[@TheTrinidad270]

I’ve been watch your videos for a few months now to help me become a better handler for my rescue Cane Corso. And we have come a long way since the first day I got him. Walking was a nightmare and I dreaded going out during the day and would only walk him extremely early or very late. Now we are able to walk throughout the day. Him and I still have a lot of work to do but slowly but surely we get it done. Thank you for all the great videos.

[@capalot_0077]

You’ve helped me so much with my dog by watching your dogs

[@amisinclair6046]

This was a Great video! Tom you are AWESOME! Her question about the lead correction to the e collar correction was a good one and how he explained it, was as always easy to understand!

[@wendyflynn7171]

Tom …. Can’t thank you enough for this one as my 2 year old Rottweiler is exactly the same I bought the Tom Davis 380c from Amazon and I’ve worked with him in the yard with it with success … after watching this upload it’s given me the courage to tomorrow try and short walk out of the yard and up the street I hope the owner of this boxer has as much success at home Cause I feel her pain I’ve spent thousands on training …

[@sunnybun7656]

The dog training world is very damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't. No matter the method, someone will always have something nasty to say. Nova learned a ton of basic obedience and tricks very low force and high positive reinforcement. Now, she struggles with some reactivity and owner protection that we're working on with a more balanced method. I used a balanced method with Mochi from the start, and her dog aggression and reactivity are nearly non-existent. Thank you, Tom, for helping me change my mindset so I can do what's best by my girls

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

Good job. I think people have the wrong idea about what socialization is though. It is more about showing the dog the world, not loads of dogs and people introductions. We want the dog to focus on us and want to be with us, not others, whether that be other dogs or people. Thank you . Love your flexibility Tom. : )

[@JC-zi1bu]

Great representation on how as a dog owner you have to adapt to what your dog needs- not only with style of training but also regarding tools! I did the same with one of my dogs when they were younger thinking all the socialization was key to no reactivity In the future. I was wrong. They need socializing but they also need structure to have balance. Great video like usual!

I love how you use the tools that the dog needs not what you want. You truly care about the dogs.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

This was a great example of being flexible with training methods. I've had instant success with a prong collar (after watching previous videos), but it's good to see a video where it didn't work...after which another method was chosen to help the dog understand what to do. Thanks! 🐾

[@kristirichardson8228]

Love the conversation between you guys at the end about physical vs digital corrections !! Should be an IG reel

I really loved this owner, I feel her concerns and she had great questions as well! This was so helpful for a few different reasons and both beautiful pups! Love me a boxer! Once again knocked it out of the park!

[@DianeS-y7j]

Thank you for this. Sunny is going to help me with my 80# female reactive Rottweiler. We already have a slip, a herm springer and a gentle leader. None of which prevents the reactivity. I'll be watching this video multiple times

Amazing transformation in the owner 😀

[@evergreen4251]

Both the dog and the owner are very likeable. Very useful video!

[@nicolem2543]

Tom! You’re the man! The real deal! The absolute BEST! My dog was very similar to this dog. He developed some leash reactivity to dogs after getting picked on by other dogs when he hit doggy puberty. He is the sweetest boy and it made me feel terrible that he became so fearful of other dogs, especially because he used to play with everyone. I took my boy to a well-known KZbin trainer here in CA and it was NOT a good experience. The guy was way too rough with my boy and did not help his fear at all. After that, I focused on YOUR methods and he has made incredible progress. I signed up for group obedience classes for exposure to dogs and did the rest on my own in my neighborhood, in front of the pet store, around town, and on the hiking trails. My guy is now so much more confident and so much happier! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for these videos!! You are helping so many dogs by doing this. We are forever grateful for you.

[@Jazzyjessify]

This video is a absolute GOLD! This is the exact behavior of my 2 year old male Olde English Bulldogge. I would love to win the Ecollar!!!

[@elisabetvila8151]

Amazing dog owner, open to relly undestand how to interact with her dog 🥰

[@xxanosx]

I have a decent amount of experience with the prong, and while my GSD doesn't get frustrated with it, at all, he does tend to want to ignore it when there's another dog he REALLY wants to play with. My biggest concern is that he plays too rough and he will likely end up being in a fight because of it. Love your videos, I always try to learn something from each one.

[@MorganDalton19]

One of the things I encounter soooo much! I wish more trainers would express the difference between socializing and exposure!! Its fine to let a puppy greet other dogs and people, but its so important that they also learn to be calm around other dogs. It breaks the dogs mindset of 'i need to greet everyone/thing I see' :))

[@nicolemarie3660]

I use an e-collar for training and often get snide remarks. It's a tool that works. And I don't have to use it often, usually once if my dogs mess up. Always great be shown how to work it correctly.

[@TheCkasel]

Holy cow!!! Just two days of the right correction and it’s not perfect but man that is a great improvement. Even the owner has the confidence now to notice and hold the dog accountable. This is beautiful

[@leighliegh9]

I haven’t figured out a good way to use the pager before your videos! Makes much more sense

[@malloryalford9808]

I’ve utilized this platform to build my own dog’s off leash work. The method is insanely pure and tailored towards the handler’s need to understand the animals and I simply cannot say enough good things about it! Can’t wait to get my boy more advanced in his off leash training.

[@christyburroughs4325]

[@scoobydoo1161]

It's so cool that you are able to help sunny and her owner becomes more confident in their training. I think you have chang the dog training community in such a positive way and I thank you for that because without your guidance I would be lost. The way you teach dog owners on your video is so much easier to understand than other dog training videos because I feel like you show it more from the dog's perspective than being more Demint, yelling, being very fiscal to the dog is not right. The owner of the dogs you help makes them more equal for the owner and the dog so they can live a happier life.
