Thank you Tom!!! Mokie's training is continuing and he's doing great. He's able to go on walks in the neighborhood and rides in the car without any reactivity. Unfortunately, my friend hasn't come over yet because he's been out of town. But maybe this weekend. I'm looking forward to him coming in the house as I now have the tools and confidence to take it to the next level. Thanks again and keep up the good work, Andy

Thanks, Tee!

[@miratraven5755]

Because of learning from KZbin about tools and there proper usage, my dog this morning was able to walk by two other reactive dogs without a peep. She just looked at them, I cued a leave it, she continued to watch and then assessed that they weren’t all that bad and turned away to sniff some grass. This is when these dogs were actively building on her! And one of them even reacted to her. With a prong collar and proper knowledge her life and mine has changed so much. Continue to spread knowledge.

[@kristenharper6925]

Mira Traven Woo hoo!!!! Great job! I love to hear this, I've learned and helped many dogs and people with Tom's techniques. So happy for you and your dog !!

[@miratraven5755]

@@kristenharper6925 she has also been able to do around the corner surprises with other dogs fine. I just back pedal and call her away. Or do a quick u turn. It is so nice not to worry and I know she is so much less stressed when we go on walks now.

[@AprilCunningham]

Once again props to your editing team. This new style brings home the teaching elements in a fun and meaningful (helpful) way. Well done!

[@mariahwalker4477]

agreed, the editing is really top notch

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thank you, April

[@womanvsmachine]

Really felt it when he said "same old story." We tried positive only with our reactive ACD -- worked great for teaching her new "tricks" but did nothing to help with her reactivity and insecurity. Only since implementing things we've learned from these videos have we made any real progress with her! So thankful we found Tom's content. Dogs deserve to be happy and less stressed, it's the least we can do for them considering they love they give us.

[@katykat978]

I work in a pet retail store so I see all the types of dogs and there behaviors. I swear these videos have helped me train owners and give advice on reactive pups. A friend of mine’s pup has even basically stopped reacting due to your tips. This channel is a goldmine for training! Thank you for putting these out there! You’re helping more people than you know.

[@isabellerousselle1107]

So grateful for you, Tom. Discipline = inner freedom!

[@lilcowgal87able]

Love the positive discipline method! It's not unreasonable to ask your dog to NOT do something. It's just how you communicate that.

Yes, Telling your dog no is oaky.

It's great to see him listening to what works and understands that it is ongoing to help the dog become the best.

[@moonmoon7319]

What I love most about watching your videos is that you help me even if I don’t have that problem. My dog has never been aggressive but your videos still teach me how to reward properly, leash pressure, and proper handling. So I make sure to watch every video because you’ll never know what little tips and advice you might learn

[@makaylajeanette8038]

Every video gets me closer and closer to getting my shepherds reactivity under control. I couldn’t even walk him for a long time and then I found this channel and he’s slowly getting better.

[@nerigarcia7116]

This was our dog to a lesser extent. He was a rescue found on the streets and he was skittish and reactive when we first got him. Watching many of Tom's other videos we were able to get our dog into a more relaxed state. He's not perfect, but a whole lot better than a year ago. He feels part of the pack now and it's good to see. He's a good dog.

[@scootsmcgoots1]

The best trainer on KZbin for reactive dogs. Hands down

As someone that wants to go into behavioural dog training, I find these videos really helpful and educational. I've learned so much more from these videos than from any training lesson's I've been in.

I applaud him for getting the help he needed with his border collie. That’s a great owner right there. We went down to Cesar millan to one of his seminars for our border collie mix that we were having trouble with and it’s amazing when you have the right trainers it makes all the difference. The biggest thing I’ve learnt about border collies and border collie mixes is not only how much energy they have but how sensitive they are

[@susanwoodcarver]

Oh, boy! I’ve been watching your videos long enough to recognize your new format. It is great! Really catches your viewers’ attention.

[@bear3513]

Great content… my 3yr old GSD is definitely reactive like this. A lot of his reactions are caused by my reaction, I’m a disabled combat vet, and I definitely don’t react the way I should in some situations ie: not interacting as well and avoiding interactions altogether. So I know it has trickled over to my GSD. Will definitely try putting these techniques to work since other trainers have not helped.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thank ou!!!

[@elliezachary3392]

I am loving this style of videos! You recognizing the dogs stress was really nice to hear. my dog was really stressed when we first started training with the e-collar, and I felt really defeated.

[@annefontaine8678]

I LOVE your reminder that it's OK if a dog doesn't love other dogs!!! Trainers put so much pressure on dogs and on their owners to get them being friends with everyone. And then we become emotional in our corrections because we were taught that it is wrong not to be a friendly doggy:((

[@FullerAnn]

I'm not even half way through this video, yet. I'm so heartbroken for this BC. We share life with 2 BCs, and they're truly amazing, loving partners. My male has no concept for "stranger danger", thinking that everyone who comes over is there just for him 🤦🏻‍♀️ and my female (she's really my daughter's) isn't as insanely friendly, but is still very friendly. Both are such happy dogs. This breaks my heart, how this BC is. I'm so glad this owner is doing what he can to help his BC to find confidence and happiness. I hope that this owner and his dog can build their team and have nothing but greatness from here on out.

[@TwistedPigeon]

My partner and I have a reactive Pitbull. She has had very little socialization because of the pandemic, and she was abused when she was very young. She is highly reactive and protective, especially when someone directly approaches us. We’re using your videos and we’ve made progress, but we still have a long way to go. Our goal is to be able to take her in public and let her experience the world.

[@HoneyBunn777]

You handled this dog so well! Especially during his worst moments!! I need your help so badly with my boy who is exactly the same way as this guy! I live in fear every single day that he will get out or away from me when we go out.

[@douglashartman729]

Rescued a year old Staffy from the streets and he's absolutely amazing and so smart, but, leash reactive to other dogs. We're working on it but he's also become space protective as he's found a home and protecting it. These type of videos help a lot. Thank you. :)

[@haileydawn1271]

Ugh I feel for this guy! We have a toddler and want to have friends over but one out of our three dogs are insane and we can’t have anyone over. He looks like he’s got a handle on it now! There is hope!

[@DovahDiva]

I wish I could have a session with this guy. I have 2 rescues that lack discipline. They're good dogs, but I haven't had time to really buckle down on them. We just sold our house and are temporarily staying with family while we close on the next home. They don't have a fenced in yard and I'm finding that my boys only listen to me now, and even then, not every single time. We just got an e collar after watching these videos, but my husband is legally blind and I'm still doing the majority of training. I need them to listen to every member of this house, not just me. When I leave, they've taken off on other people and don't come back.

[@sarahsherman4514]

Border collies need a farm and a job . I cant imagine keeping mine in a suburban setting. We bought a farm, plus ducks to herd, changed my work schedule so hes not home bored and do several dog sports. He's still a handfull , we work constantly on keeping him confident in public and controling his prey drive around other dogs. Good luck with Mokie, glad hes getting helped.

[@StratRider]

I took my dog to a local place for "Basic" training. There was one very large dog in there that had to be coralled and kept from the rest of us because he was so out of control. By the end of our sessions It became obvious who worked with their dogs the most because this same dog ended up being the most obedient of them all. Short of a brain disorder, I believe all dogs can be trained if you follow instructions and spend the proper time with your pet.

[@charlynne4910]

I find it SO helpful when you not only point out what this owner is doing wrong with a correction, but also show us how to correct properly!

[@kylasbibi]

[@tonygrogan1905]

Great video! I have a 5 yo English Springer Spaniel that we just adopted, that apparently had no socialization. He reacts to anything that moves outside. Absolute gentleman inside with zero stimulation. Uncontrollable outside with stimulation. A leaf blowing by needs to be attacked. A squirrel, rabbit, dog or person. We handle ok, except when surprised.

[@horizonwolf1]

I have a fear reactive boxer, 1 year old and am currently working with a trainer to help with that. Although I agree with her morals and approach to dog training, I have this underlying feeling like it is the wrong approach for my dog. Hers is about including stress-free/calming ways through mindfulness + mediation (roughly), play and praise rewarding, but I think my dog needs a more aggressive approach to get him over that fear. By aggressive, I mean more exposure to people and dogs in a controlled environment rather than just stay hundreds of feet away from them so he can barely see them in the distance. He is super friendly at daycares but just switches when on leash with us, reacting and barking at people from the car etc. I find he is a super complicated case, and my previous boxers were never like that. I wish I could find a trainer like you here in Nova Scotia, and trainers here are frickin expensive.

[@noelc29]

Dog reactivity is so real… we have hired various trainers, and still working on it.

[@robiholcomb7622]

Well done Tom in showing this owner how to training dog.

[@lthalberg4699]

I raised service pups for years. Having a COVID rescue, he does commands pretty well. Walks on leash fine now. Actually has come a long way. My issue is this dog meets family and friends and he circles around the house, indoors, outdoors, his response is to flee. He is a very sweet shepherd and I have had him 2 years now. My other 2 older Shepherds are very chill. They greet family and friends fine. What to do, what to do. I usually just kennel him, but I hate to see him still so uncomfortable around people. Also he has never tried to bite during fearful interactions. Just takes off and stays out of reach of others. The come command is solid, but fear of others keeps him from enjoying life to the fullest. I watch your videos, but have never seen a case that resembles this.

[@pamkrull7407]

Because of you, Tom, I can now walk my previously over the top, leash reactive ACD rescue without constant fear, angst and anxiety. Going for walks has gone from being super stressful, to finally being able to walk by people, dogs, etc without fear of him losing his mind and turning into the Tasmanian Devil. SO glad I found your videos! THANK YOU!.

[@HerRevenge]

I love that a border collie was featured! I have an adolescent border collie at home. Some insecurity and barking emerged when she went into adolescence. Definitely threw me a curve ball since this is the first dog I’ve raised. Hoping to not ruin my dog. Some of these changes I read are normal but working on eliminating the naughty behavior and hoping to raise a confident, happy, obedient dog. It can be frustrating having those set backs but she is great in other areas. Always trying to learn more, to do better. Thanks for the videos!

[@mingmingguo5104]

I have a 8 month old Akita boy that has similar symptom as Mokie except he is just twice the size and much more powerful. My own parents couldn’t come into my home because he will rush and growl and bark and I don’t have the physical strength to restrain, let alone correct him. He is much better greeting outside of his home as long as he doesn’t get touch . He is super friendly with any other dogs.

[@brendaluper5985]

After recently rescuing a 3-year old very insecure and stranger reactive German Shepard (that had been surrendered to a local human society twice due to no fault of her own), I'm trying to learn ways to help her. She minds really well off leash around our property, but when I put the leash on to take her somewhere she goes insane. She also sneaks up behind people she's unfamiliar with and nips at their hands or legs, and if we move suddenly (even playing with her), she sometimes cowers and pees. It just breaks my heart to think of what she's been through. But, I think I have a better understanding of why she reacts to people and situations and hope to one day make her feel secure enough that others can see what a sweet soul she truly is. I would love to be able to work with a knowledgeable trainer who understands dog behavior as much as you do. Keep up your wonderful work!

[@Shelby2883]

I have a herding dog too (Australian cattle dog) and him having a job and being fulfilled makes his reactivity go WAAAAYYYY down. Thank you so much for all of your videos, it’s been a lifesaver for my pup!

[@emilyestelle7471]

Another great video. I see a lot of this in herding dogs (as you said, they need something to do). I have an Aussie, and I don't like to think what she'd be like if I didn't do what I can to keep her active and busy.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Hope this helps!!

[@happygrlfishing]

Thank you for showing reactivity versus aggression and also the difference between shock and vibration collar correction. My rescue is 99% happy with All dogs and people since I got her in October. But, twice in the last two weeks she has been reactive to two different dogs. She was overwhelmed, nervous and maybe a little scared both times. Because of your videos I feel confident that I can work with her about this. She's a lovely dog. And I love her.
