I Got The Most Protective Dog In The World!

Tom Davis gets a puppy for the first time in 8 Years! It's important to understand I am a professional, and this breed may be highly challenging for anyone without years of experience. Please do not consider a Boerboel unless you have experience with large, guardianship, protective breeds.

[@chrisnossoughi9039]

Yes he is tired and new but his initial behavior to Coda is him being an instinctive Boerboel. Strong, bold, independent thinker, yet very teachable. I love him!

[@tomdavisofficial]

You nailed this interaction!

[@akw0523]

He’s so cute 🥰 Thx for sharing…looking forward to seeing him grow! 🐶❤️

[@Melaann]

Exactly my thoughts. Pup is so sleepy/worn from his travels and new family life changes 🥱❤ This makes me so happy to beable witness Burleighs growth. 💖💖

[@kahlilherde9334]

Cool

[@user-lw6tz7pq8u]

Short clip with the breeder was very informative. Breeder seemed very knowledgeable about His Breed. Love to see that

[@tomdavisofficial]

He is!!

[@jojnm2593]

New house, tired from the travel, new smells, new everything, and yet confident to the core!!! I chuckled heard that first growl at the fence line! Hahaha Lakota is such an awesome sport and big sister! I'm so excited to witness this journey! Thanks Tom for sharing!

[@nancymesek]

Looks like he’s already chosen Taylor as his security blanket ❤️

[@MoMountainMutts]

I think Tom has mentioned before that Taylor is a really good puppy trainer. I bet he ends up being her baby 😂

[@Milana161]

I love how that's a video of a specific breed's puppy, yet you still manage to encourage people to first search the shelters before deciding on buying. Class act!

[@staceynorton4894]

Excited to seeing more videos. Was laughing so hard when 8 week old puppy was barking at adult Dutch Shepherd.

[@tomdavisofficial]

haha I was like wtf are you doing as well lol

[@lauriem.7477]

Tom:Hes not a baby... Wife: But he IS a baby... Tom: Hes not use to the leash, come here and let me carry you to the elevator 💕😂😂😂.. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH for the New addition! Excited to be a part of this Journey🙏

[@tomdavisofficial]

ahaha yes this will be interesting

[@InaStanley83]

So stoked to see this! I'm welcoming a 2 y/o female Boerboel to the family in a few weeks. She's currently in foster with and being evaluated by a friend who's a breeder of Boerboels and he's really liking the way she's adjusting and showing protective (but not reactive) behavior. She's doing well around other dogs, doing well on leash, and doing well inside. She looks to have that slightly leaner build, which I prefer since she'll be a general farm / property guardian and a walking and hiking companion along with my younger Malinois x GSD pup. Tom is my absolute fave behaviorist and trainer, so really excited to follow this journey with him and his family!

[@tomdavisofficial]

This is pergect for you!

[@quid_G]

*Perfect you mean😂😂😂

[@kylea7864]

I think it is important to point out why a martingale or flat collar setup is preferable to a harness for puppies. Many individuals tend to begin with harnesses and retractables for their puppies, but this can ultimately lead to failure and more effort with the dog in the future. I'm not suggesting that harnesses or retractables are terrible; there is simply a time and place for them.

[@jasminerose1396]

Oh my heart…Burleigh is adorable! Congratulations on your new family member!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thank you!

[@myhatyourhat2819]

Hes going to be a handful with that amount of confidence! In South Africa we would say hes going to be woes!

[@tomdavisofficial]

He's already really fun!

[@calliehylton5814]

The way he sat but his butt didn’t touch the ground! 🥰. This is going to be fun to watch.

[@tomdavisofficial]

hahah!

[@Mrl086]

Peterbuilt!! One of the very very few good boerboel breeders in the US. This breed has been my dream dog for a while, my eyes went wide when I saw you got a pup. Will definitely be following his journey!!

[@mtxeer8838]

Agree - dealt with too many bad "Breeders" until I found Derek. He's awesome and can't wait for my spot in his litter queue to arrive.

[@kamranapethub]

​@@mtxeer8838 this guy definitely looks experienced, but if you are unable to get a puppy from his, feel free to give us a chance🙌

[@littleninjai222]

Super! This is gonna be some journey to have the privilege to follow. Thank you, Tom for sharing with us.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks for following!

[@zencolon1348]

I'm surprised you got a puppy from a breeder after going to shelters. Lots of puppies needing rescued not bought. I know you will do right by this lucky puppy, I believe in you.

[@vanessaf7259]

He’s gorgeous! I was also so impressed by how gently the toddler petted him! Well done training the human early! 👏

[@LoganMacdougall]

I'm super stoked to see you raise this pup. I have a 16 month, 180 pound male who still has some growing to do. My greatest delight has been to shatter the stereotyping that Boerboels have received because of poorly trained owners. He's great with children, other dogs and other animals. As far as his protective drive goes; if I'm okay with people then he's OK with them. Now in the more challenging "teenage" phase, it's like trying to get a headstrong 4 year old to follow instructions. (He does, but sometimes in his own time.) Let me know if you are in South Africa as I'd love to meet you.

[@SkittleBombs]

Thats crazy he went to the fence to stand and bark down lakota. Looks like he took the correction and stopped very well. But you can tell his nature is exactly what you asked for and you will just have to train the right behaviours and he will defend you guys just like you wanted

[@tomdavisofficial]

Bingo 🫠

[@dylvasey]

He looks fantastic, definitely a strong, independent Boerboel in that little (with lots of folds to fill) body. I've had Rottweilers for decades but still wouldn't think I'm ready for a Boerboel. Best of luck to you and your family.

[@tomdavisofficial]

👍🏻❤

[@lauraking3170]

Yay! So so excited for this series. Thanks for sharing this with us Tom and Taylor. I really appreciate the real and raw footage!

[@Bobbie-Loves-To-Thrift]

So excited for your family! Can't wait to see the progress. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jo-annmcintyre7717]

Well Done! I love how thoughtful, informed and reasonable you are!

[@samanthablevins8009]

He's GORGEOUS!!!! Congratulations!

[@MaineGirlOutdoors]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this experience with us! I cannot tell you how helpful real life videos like this are to us folks. ❤

[@LabsandCClov2653]

Congrats on the Boerboel pup. Excited to follow along as he grows. I have never owed a protective breed until last year when I found a male Corso in the park. He has the greatest personality, gets along great with my two male Labs and loves every person he has encountered. It is facinating to watch the way he looks at people as if assessing friend or foe.

[@katelyn1074]

I am bringing home an 8 week old Standard Poodle next week, and am so excited to be able to follow along on your training journey with you and your Boerboel. This series will be so helpful, thank you!

[@rondameier8168]

He's gorgeous!!! And sooooo squishy..... What a smart smart cutie pie!!!

[@TRXvaulterGIRL]

Awww. Yes! So excited to see him grow up and you train him. Congratulations you guys. 🫶🏽

[@sonyaseigafuse7893]

Welcome, sweet boy! Looking forward to watch you learn and grow. You are precious! ❤

[@beckybishop8906]

Congrats Tom and Family! Great choice! ❤ can’t wait for you to meet your mastiff! See you in June!

[@MJStudio_]

Congratulations to you both on the new “baby”! I’m super excited to watch this partnership develop and to see his progression. I adore Boerboels and many other similar breeds! ❤

[@sabrinamorse2462]

congratulations! Boerboel is on my wish list. I can't wait to see the pup grow up and watch your training journey with him. He is a beauty!

[@Christina1969]

Congratulations to the new puppy, he is gorgeous. 🎉💖 Makes me miss my bullmastif ,the molaser family are very special dogs. As a side note ,both of the bullmastif I owned where like that they owned the place as soon as they entered the house and stood up to other dogs in a friendly but dominant behavior.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Hope you guys are ready for some puppy training videos ❤ Follow all the craziness on my IG @tomdavis!

[@Leia_Obi]

I can't wait to watch the puppy training videos. We have a new puppy coming home in 2 weeks so this is perfect timing!

[@mtxeer8838]

DEFINITELY! I will have one of Derek’s pups from a future litter, so can’t wait to learn from every video!

[@seanmcelroy6222]

Was really expecting a Cane Corso or maybe an Anatolian Shepard instead of an English Mastiff when you said most protective dog in the world. Congratulations on the new puppy! Yes, I thought it was an English Mastiff instead of a Boreboel. The look so similar as puppies.

[@johncspine2787]

I drove to Burley (Idaho) for my German shepherd pup..not the same spelling, but hey..fun coincidence..

[@aussieoutbackfarm]

We sure are !!!

[@heatherakers9298]

Love the information on the breeder. Love the encouragement to check local rescues. Love the wife’s energy ❤️ Love it all!!

[@susanabdallah8020]

Thanks, Tom, Exciting new series. Best to your training. (started out very good)!

[@debo5227]

I'm getting a Boerboel puppy in June. Haven't had a dog in 2 years now. I'm glad to see what you're doing

[@susanpozanc9944]

Eyes are beautiful!! Dogs are so smart! Congratulations on your new puppy!!!

[@vanaxoxo1407]

I am so excited to watch you raise and train this man! As a cane corso owner this is so cool to watch you raise a mastiff breed!!❤

[@Lena-qu6gy]

I’m so excited to watch as he grows up and see how Tom handles all his behaviors. Good and bad. Every dog breed has something. No dog is perfect. It’s how you handle it. I wish there were more trainers around like Tom. I love watching him as he deals with people and dogs. I’m an aspiring trainer who would do anything for a chance to learn from him. I’ve met so many trainers who just don’t seem to have the passion Tom has for both dogs and people. I hope someday someone like him will teach me so I can become the best trainer that I can.

[@countryroadspacklife]

The paws on that puppy - wow, little baby horse. So great to see everything from the very beginning!

[@amberadkins1511]

I can’t wait for every single future episode to come following this! I work in a shelter and ALMOST brought home a pup. But I knew these videos were on the horizon. I’ll watch them and then introduce the right pup at the right time! Thanks Tom and family and staff!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Incredible. Thanks for the support!

[@tracey1758]

I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 so I know the breed, excited to see him grow and your training!!

[@jessm2560]

Congratulations! 🎊 I got a boerboel last year. He is awesome. Studying your content made me confident enough to get my dream dog . Thanks for all you do🖖

[@mpb8867]

Congratulations Tom! Boerboel's are amazing as you know. I rescued a 5 year old almost a year ago and Bane is everything I thought he would be. Can't wait to watch you work with and raise Burleigh!

[@papaherf7349]

So excited for you and Burly ❤. He’s in good hands , looking forward to seing this boy grow up.

[@mabeljackson6113]

Burleigh is so beautiful! 😍 Looking forward to watching him grow. So happy you named him after an Aussie beach town, it’s a gorgeous place too!

[@crystalhl6146]

Thanks for this video. I got my first ever puppy last year (I've had dogs before but not that young) and I watched a lot of KZbin videos... Some of them said not to take a puppy out for walks until six months but we did anyway. She was very shy and I wanted her to have more confidence. Watching your video made me feel like I did the right thing. I'm looking forward to your videos.

[@braddenison6034]

Awesome! Super excited for this! I’m also a trainer, super inspired by your work and I’m also getting a new puppy soon from a good breeder that I just worked with, mine will be an English mastiff. Should be born in the next two days I’m so stoked!

[@Melaann]

Burleigh is adorable little big man! Working in the vet feild for 13 yrs and I love this series so much for all new pyppy owners. ❤❤❤

[@sizzy972]

I feel your excitement and it makes me excited! What a special opportunity! ❤️✨

[@bakingnanaskitchen4799]

How exciting! Thank you for taking us with you through this puppy journey. Boerboels are amazing dogs. Too much dog for me, but I admire them. Burleigh has that 'Boss Attitude' built in. To challenge an adult Dutch Shepherd, in a new environment shows what this dog is made of. He is a quick learner. Looking forward to seeing his progress.

[@kristinschofield5523]

Thank you for sharing this part of your lives. Very excited to follow along in his progress.❣❣👏👏👏

[@samanthasmethurst396]

Im so excited for you and cant wait to see how he grows in every way. Congratulations 🎉✨️🤍🐾

[@tomdavisofficial]

Woohoo!

[@ericmoss8344]

Congrats on the new puppy!! He's a cuttie and glad to see how you work w/him growing up.

[@Jrockfit__]

Looking forward to watching this. Got my puppy 3 months ago and your channel has helped with a ton. Going to be dope to watch you train a puppy from the very beginning

[@tomdavisofficial]

woohoo! This will be perfect!

[@joslac5018]

So exciting. He's so handsome. Congratulations! This pup is in good hands! 👌🏻

[@gevans2679]

I’m so happy for this puppy… he got the best owner in the world!! He’s hit the jackpot & he doesn’t know it yet. ❤ and my best friend live in Burleigh Heads. It is a beautiful part of the world. Next time you’re in Australia, come up to Sunshine Coast, it’s even more beautiful 😊

[@gretchenwarner1834]

He's precious! Excited to watch how you work with a protector bed like him!

[@jagoss45]

What a smoosh-ball puppy! Looking forward to seeing him progress.

[@reptilesandbugs2703]

This so awesome you got this breed! Im recently fostering one that’s been abandoned at a daycare facility in Las Vegas. He’s known a as human aggressive or selective.

[@cyrilvillarosa2421]

Wife and I have been doing an extensive research on this breed. They are one of my favorite breeds.

[@tomdavisofficial]

You guys will like this series then :)

[@crystallynn5258]

The puppy is very cute, going to be a great little series. And the baby melted my heart! ❤

[@lexiknight2498]

He’s beautiful! I’m so excited to watch this journey!

[@mariecandelier8641]

Omg this was too short! 🧡 I'm beyond excited to see the puppy steps. I don't currently have a dog, but this is calming my anxiety about doing this right!

[@stephsnyder7768]

Glad to stumble upon this video as we just adopted 2 pups (one is 10mo from a rescue, the other is 4 mo from a shelter) and want to do PROPER training for them! The 4mo old is a lab mix (we are thinking GSD) and is already showing a protective side which makes me so happy since we tragically lost our protector dog and my 4 year old's best friend in the world last June while we were on vacation. I love how you take the time to explain the reasoning behind what you are doing!

[@JHattsy]

As someone who's just gotten a Rottie puppy this series is gonna be a great help & a great watch. He'll be a great lad I bet

[@peachesandapril]

What a gorgeous hunk of potato boy. Being Australian myself I LOVE the namesake. Can't wait to watch your journey with him.

[@chrisjabr8638]

Awesome! Congratulations 🎉 hadn’t heard of these breed & am looking forward to learning!

[@annemariedewet7330]

I love the puppy you chose.He is beautiful.I love boerboels because we had one when I was a little girl,she was like our nanny.They absolutely love kids and their families.They are brave and majestic dogs.

[@alrileyw]

Aaaww how cute he is!! I can’t wait to watch him grow up here 🥰

[@hannahnfvideos1043]

What a cute guy! My boyfriend and I honestly laughed at his interaction with Coda. It was definitely cute. I’m happy you’re the one adopting him because I know you’ll raise him right. :)

[@JustyouraverageAmerican]

Congrats on the new baby! Can’t wait to see the journey!

[@TacticoolNinja]

I’ve owned 3 boerboels over the last 20 years. Had them shipped from South Africa. Wonderful dogs. Look forward to your journey with him. Thanks for sharing!

[@arturassagalovas8948]

Good luck and happy to see how it is going with little one 😊 learning much from your videos, plus have my self Belgium malinois and your videos helped a lot Tom, except reactivity on other dogs 😁😁😁

[@jenniferscherba5210]

This is great! I'll definitely be tuning in!!!!

[@kelleyharris214]

He is beautiful!! Sharp looking puppy, I'm excited to watch the journey

[@AriaIndy]

So excited to see more videos working with him! ❤

[@ThePyrshepnBelgn]

Thank you for explaining the Boerboel. I have worked with them and you really have to know what you're doing with them. The ones I knew were even too much for pretty good dog handlers. You are one of the few trainees I would say could handle them. They need a ton of socialization which he will get with you.

[@recoverbygrowing2068]

I’m excited to get to watch your training journey! This is invaluable information❤. Congratulations on your new pup!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thank yoU!

[@elisaramirez7839]

I love that your providing these videos!

[@pizzajesus8139]

OMG im sooooo excited for this. ALSO can we talk about that sweet toddler petting the puppy so gently!? I hope i can teach my future kids to be like that.

[@nanaannabelgn2771]

This is going to be great! Thank you for sharing.

[@kritsanaharris2671]

Oh my goodness🥰 I’m so happy for you guys congratulations with your fur baby Burleigh 🥰🥰

[@wvw000]

I love all of it! The puppy, getting to watch the process, all of it, very excited!

[@peggycarey5057]

Wonderful video; so excited to see you raise/train him!! Lucky dog and lucky family! Your son is adorable; a mini-Tom greeting the puppy !

[@tomdavisofficial]

haha Thanks!

[@xXVantXx2928]

Let's go! I'm so excited for this series!

[@mollie.howe33]

Super excited to watch this journey!

[@emmagladstone573]

Aw, I loved my Boerboel Baby Girl. I travelled with her in my van and felt so safe. She was 60kg (approx 130lbs), and her granddad was 105kg (230lbs) Biiig difference in size between boys and girls in this breed. So smart and such a great ability to read people’s character. ❤❤❤❤❤ Glad you loved Burleigh Heads in Queensland, Australia. It’s a very laid back place.

[@RoseCityReptilesTX]

I'm so excited about this series 🙌🙌

[@alexandradittmann8588]

CONGRATS, Tom, so happy for you! Having a Mastiff of the guardian kind in the home sure is a huge comfort... Couldn't imagine life without a natural guardian breed dog (Estrela Mountain Dog in my case), especially with family in need of protecting (no kids here, but a pair of Beagles, and hunting dog theft being a major problem here in Portugal - with dogs getting stolen, abused, and then sometimes turning up discarded on the streets many years later, sometime mutilated and injured, so it's a complete nightmare for owners to have this happen).

[@terridavis9278]

Congratulations! Beautiful looking dog.

[@CulturalUneducation]

So happy for you and your family

[@chasingwisdomproject]

Really look forward to watching this series! Good luck with your new new, he is beautiful!

[@jasminefletch]

So excited for you, Tom!

[@LaurelPearce]

14:35 Such a powerful example of the genetics present in the breed. 1st instinct was to post up and not to cower or be friendly. I'm super excited to see how you raise this boy.

[@anamatthews968]

This is great! So excited to see him grow up into a solid balanced dog!

[@dimitarbarbov4148]

Tom, greetings from Bulgaria. For the last week or so, I am watching your videos Constantly! I can not describe what a monumental difference did it make with my golden Bailey! He started to heel ( fuss) in like 2 days. Currently, we are working on the reactivity to other dogs ( not aggressive, just playful, but it was a nightmare walking him , especially when we meet another dog). This, I believe will take a bit more time, but we'll get there! Thank you! I hope I can meet you some day!

[@kaitlynpatterson6605]

Thank you for highlighting WHY you chose this breed and pointing out the puppies behaviors which are characteristics of his breed! I'm excited to see what you do with him! Please do a video showing how you handle the baby and the puppy together! Many families might benefit with seeing how you would set boundaries for them to coexist safely especially when the puppy ends up 100+ lbs at 6mos

[@elizabethdavis3258]

Just brought our new German Shepherd puppy home this week. Took leave from work this week to bond with her and start training the simple things, learning name, sit, potty training, etc. SO excited for this series. Congratulations on your new boy!

[@tomdavisofficial]

THis will ve perfect for you!
