YOUR DOG WON'T LISTEN BECAUSE OF THIS!

[@douglasmoriearty1358]

Thirty-four years ago the first tainer I ever worked with made the statement - "Don't ask your dog to do something - tell them, and mean it". She made it clear how the tone and inflection of your voice is as important in communicating with your dog as it is with people. She would say " you are giving them a command, not requesting them to do a favor when they have time to get around to it". Many people don't understand that this isn't about being mean to the dog, it's for the safety and well being of the dog. Tom, I love the way you always talk about how important being fair, but firm is in traing. Love your stuff and have learned a lot from your videos - keep it up!

[@tomdavisofficial]

You got it!

[@zamidare9038]

Good words. Thanks for sharing.

[@deanc8889]

One of the first tips I was told by my trainer too , you’re not ASKING the dog to do something , you’re giving it a command 🙂

[@love651018]

Yup. Tell dont ask.. too many people treat them like a human. They aren't children they Are animals..huge difference

[@CBALLEN]

When training dogs,you have to be a good actor. Just like you said, the tone of your voice and inflection are the key to training and like Tom said,you must follow through. If you Tell the dog to sit and he lays down, most people think that's OK,it is not pull him up to the sit position. Dogs will play you if you let them.

[@joshuablanchette878]

btw, i love that we are seeing real people with real dog issues. helpful to hear other people who are struggling/getting the backstory

[@Piper7cub]

The Triple D for dog training - Distance * Distraction * Duration. What a pretty dog!

[@emilka2033]

I love this point you emphasize that if your dog blows you off doing fundamental things like "sit" then how do you expect your dog to listen to you while engaging in more serious problem behaviors like reactivity? So many people trying to fix "reactivity" when really the entire relationship needs to be built from the ground up.

[@tomdavisofficial]

The most MAJOR thing in all training is this!

[@nicothenatural]

One thing people don't realize when they get dogs is that the training is for the lifetime. Even if they're obedient and well trained, you always practice "heel" when you're out on your daily walks. You're always practicing recall, stop, stay, come, break. Consistency is where people struggle, I think. And being assertive in a calm manner.

[@WhyForWhatNow]

100%

[@dominiquedoeslife]

Absolutely

[@sweetlorraine6982]

Agree 😊

[@jl-Sp]

I have a Staffy, he’s a little smaller than usual and I practice all the things you mentioned all the time.. people come up to me saying “oh he’s still young, but he’s a good learner!” Uh 😅 He’s 11.. and we’re just doing what we always do 🤷🏾‍♀️ and then telling me I don’t have to do that if he’s already 11

[@CN86443]

Another thing is ur dog doesn’t need all the tricks right away the most important is just basic obedience like learning how to play nicely and how to stay with u and listen in public. My dogs deadass know “stop, come here” and that’s it they’re super good too idc if they do tricks just be respectful towards me and other people

[@DynastyTrickDogs]

I was rewatching this and at 11:00 when the owner said "mylo sit" my dog named mylo sat... gosh thats so funny

[@K3V0___]

You basically say it every vid, a dog is similar to a kid, you have a special bond but also have to give them guidance and be that leader for them to follow💯 great vid as always💪🏾

[@efab9439]

I think theres a global problem in the Western world where parents fail to be leaders to their Kids. Here in Finland you can see it very Well. Parents are trying to befriend their child and please them being scared of them to act out. I dont know where humanity lost its assertiveness

[@janepowell5679]

Your reference to horses is what has helped me to make sense of your methods. Pressure and release with a horse comes easily to me , I never thought to apply it to my dog ! Now makes total sense 😊 thank you 😊

[@karmen181]

Right !

[@Cathan1856]

Same for me! I have horses and when he compares the training, makes so much sense.

[@aliciabrillante]

I agree. That makes it make more sense.

[@SherriCavalier]

Me too! I've had horses all my life and love how Tom makes the connection with dogs for pressure, release and consequences/accountability. We have a 12 week Rottie and working to apply with her. Thanks so much!

[@narusawa74]

although I never trained horses or dogs I've been very close to them and can kinda read what's happening in their heads. the eyes and body language tell a lot. I always come toward an animal like it's another person and so I felt the difference of type of personality/mindset between a dog and a horse. one is more dependant and kid like while the horse is very much a person who does what he wants most of the time unless he wants to be nice with you or ridden. ai was surprised by the fact that you mention you didn't think about trying your horsemanship tools on another intelligent animal partner but its because I don't come from a specific animal.wrangler/trainer experience. but thank you for confirming that sommunication and trust building tools can work for such different species. (horse=partner, dog=follower)

[@techwithbec]

Love the clarity of this trainer. He doesn't overcomplicate things and is effective, gentle, positive and fun! I'm learning a lot. Grateful for this channel.

[@brendakennair5076]

My dogs have a habit of jumping on anyone and everything! When I am going away to the store they greet me back as though I have been gone forever! It's getting bad. Tearing down the. Curtains and knocking me over I have a broken hip and can't stand up to the jumping on me. Please help. My dogs are Australian Shepherd and so sweet. I live with my daughter and her husband and they are getting upset Thanks! For any. Help!!! Brenda

[@iWontSeeYourReplies]

You notice how he does the baby voices? Dogs love when you talk like that. As well as raising your eyebrows. It’s how they know you’re excited to see them.

[@iWontSeeYourReplies]

@@brendakennair5076put a leash on them and correct them when they jump. You have to let them know that that behavior isn’t acceptable. Just do like 5 minute sessions multiple times a day. When they try to jump just pull and give a firm no and pet them or reward them when they sit and don’t jump all over you. This is how I worked with my 4 dogs. It will require patience. If you want I can find the video where I learned this from. You will have to like my comment if you respond as I won’t see if you tag me. If I see a like I’ll know to check so I can find the video for you

[@loveiam7902]

Tom, you are a God send. I have had several dogs in my life when I was young, I've never seen dog training, or had a trained dog, also never knew how important it was until I recently got a 5 month old half Pitbull half Rottweiler puppy named Harley that was a rescue and began searching the net for training. I came across you and a couple other trainers, but you have something they don't, your background with an enormous array of dogs, wolves, and other four legged canines, and your understanding of their behavior. I don't have a lot of money to pay for a trainer or training, so I have literally watched all your videos repeatedly so as to get the basics and begin training Harley, and its working! Its a process, slow and rewarding. I wish Harley and myself could meet you if you should ever come to Toronto Canada, Ide show up for free dog training in the park and stay all day if I could!!! Thank you thank you thank you again, All the dogs thank you, You are the best at what you do!!

I love seeing these owners so open to learning how to restructure their relationship with their dogs. It's very similar to parenting. Milo tests the limits often, but eventually relaxes and seems to like the new structure. Another success story! Awesome! Keep up the good work of helping us all learn along with your clients, Tom. Thank you!

[@jacklynf6071]

Tom- love the way you talked about the working dog. This needed to be reiterated! Know what you are getting into when you get a working dog. You reference horses a lot and this is the same thing in the horse world-horses are bred to do different jobs with different temperaments drive and skill. Play to the strength of the breed not to the cuteness of the dog!

She's not a good dog. You're 65 and putting yourself in a risky position if she's hurt you. You're being irresponsible and putting other people at risk when you call a badly behaved dog a good dog. You need to go and find a trainer ASAP or give up the dog, there's no middle ground here.

We just adopted a dog from the foundation named Milo. He looks just like Milowe in this video with the exact situation. Thank you for sharing this, helps so much! 🙏🏼

[@dominiquedoeslife]

I really want to try a slip leash with my dog. Toby is a sweet, curious, way too smart, way too outgoing boy who wants to obey commands but is just too excited about life. I give Toby a real J-O-B to do, and we do it as much is as needed. He’s best on leash when he’s truly working. Toby’s job is to help find missing dogs on a volunteer basis. I’ve taken his proclivity for sniffing to the next level with that. We’ve even made playdates with one of the dogs Toby has found, with whom he is now friends. I used to find that if I dropped something on a run, Toby would find and retrieve the missing item on a future run. I mean he found stuff I had dropped months ago sometimes. Every single thing I have dropped in the parks we run in, Toby has subsequently found and retrieved, so I thought he might enjoy doing some scent based work. Toby likes to have a job to do and seems to feel rewarded when he finds a missing dog. He’s not formally trained, but I’ve trained him to pick up scents from items given to us by the dog’s owner. We walk and sniff around where the dog went missing, and we plot gps points where Toby picks up scent. He genuinely seems to feel a sense of fulfillment doing this.

[@jessicabalducci6214]

[@sarahsander785]

Not kidding, what has helped me the most in training my "untrainable" dog was learning how to train a horse. I took lessons in a small stable of someone breeding and training Quarter Horses as a hobby and they taught me horsemanship and encouraged me to go to seminars and lessons. Learning how to properly control a horse from the ground just with my own presence helped a great deal in being able to control my dog. And funnily enough what I learned from training my dog helped me to become a better teacher for humans, too.
