🤯 SO what do you guys think?! Let me know below!!! 🛑👇🏻👇🏻

[@newlyenlightened8775]

So you both did that in one hour? It's amazing how you can read these dogs! It's tough to find "educators" like you who can do what you do. Wish you could do an event in St. Louis.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Aloha Mahalo no

[@tomdavisofficial]

Newly Enlightened yes!

[@loridouglas4521]

Tom I commented before. I get so many of these dogs as clients and your techniques and solid instruction helps me help others. Thank you so much.

[@jt2553]

I was anti-"shock"collars because of what I've heard others say. You changed my opinion when you said in other videos that you use a "buzzing cell phone" kind of pressure that's not painful, not even like a static shock. TY for what you do & sharing it in these videos.

[@firstname5447]

I love the owner’s recount of a previous trainer “She warned me about you, then fed the dog 3 sticks of cheese whilst watching him have a meltdown” 🤣🤣

[@spyderk1227]

I got tears in my eyes when the owner got him to listen to her that first time. Having reactive dogs, I can just imagine how she feels!

[@kelbrl18]

This girl is amazing and how all dog owners should be. When you brought a dog into your home you also brought the responsibility of giving them a great life. I admire that for years she has been learning how to provide a better life for her dog. So many people would go to one trainer then give up when the dog's behavior is not fixed. It just makes me so happy that she cares so much for her family member she will go to multiple professions in order to better her relationship with her dog. Parents take their sick child to multiple doctors until they receive the correct answer and this is what she has done. Makes me so happy.

[@tomdavisofficial]

K E L K A Y yess, she’s great!

[@redcaz]

Look at how PROUD this dog is!!!! He's like yep I'm doin it and thank god someone took the reigns!!

[@tomdavisofficial]

[@leslietimmerman7420]

You have changed this owner- handler forever. She now has understanding of her new leader role, the collar tools, confidence, timing of correction, and good posture, so she now can have a relationship with her dog. God bless you for what you’re doing. You’re a super teacher.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Leslie Timmerman thank you so much Leslie!

[@lisagothier7477]

i spent a grand on a dog trainer. my dog is now 2. extremely smart in the home and listens. very viscious on a leash to people and dogs. i found a new trainer and he gave me the hermes-sprenger collar and my dog is walking at my heels.( i had a fake version) i swear i almost cried. i hated this dog!!!! and loved her at the same time. it was so frustrating. i lost my Son and needed this dog more than anyone knew. im so estatic to walk her now. its only been 3 days so work in process. but these videos Tom are so encouraging. Thank you so much!!!

[@emmanuel_sal]

I admire you so much man. You inspire me to be a better dog owner everyday. Thank you for posting these videos. ✊🏼

True.

[@thesaladczar]

She became a great dog handler. I'm impressed by how willing she was and quickly she learned.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Salad Songs yess, she is awesome

[@crittersandcreatures]

Tom, I cannot express how much your videos have helped us. My dog is a large, fearful shepherd mix that we rescued with no knowledge of his reactivity. After three years of endless struggling, nightmarish walks, and being brought to tears questioning whether or not I should even own a dog, I found your videos. Omaha is now a confident, calm boy who can walk past other reactive pups with not so much as an growl. You saved our relationship, and I can’t express enough how much it means to me to not see my dog so terrified all the time. We can both enjoy our walks now, and he’s starting to make new friends. Thank you so much for spreading your knowledge.

[@Jenna_m.6087]

This is amazing! May I ask you how you achieved this?

[@f35bhore]

She should have gone to the guy Zak George to get more treats, and advertisement.... aaaaaaaaaaand no help. Damn.... what a HUGE difference between balanced and positive training, and I started watching Zak first. Thank god I found your channel, or I would have had no clue how to handle a dog (trying to teach myself before I get a dog!). Some days I am binging on your channel.

[@Bornmong]

Same here.

[@romanaraucinova9953]

Absolutely true!

[@jessi11287]

Yesssss can’t stand that channel

[@boopei]

SAME! The purely positive approach may work for some dogs, but not for my 10lb Shih Tzu x Yorkie mix. She's got personality in spades, and I'm working on reactivity with her now and picking up lots of pointers from your channel and another one I follow up here in Canada. Thank you!

[@toni19292]

I’ve only found Zak’s channel useful for trick ideas. When it actually comes to handling a dog and dealing with problems I watch Tom and Larry Krohn. 👍🏻

[@joiorca]

"Everybody gets bullied at the dog park" 17:34 hahaha so true!

[@bmolitor615]

No dog-parks for me and my pooch. Dog-parks are an opportunity to encounter crappy dogs and crappier owners... solution? Avoid them!

[@DF-te2vm]

The moral to your story..... it's training people to understand their dogs. That's the hard part, the dogs are easy...... thankyou Tom

[@tomdavisofficial]

D F a lot of it yes!

[@thebigmac333]

It’s amazing how engaged he is with his owner now! Such a big change from the first episode

[@tomdavisofficial]

Yess great progression

[@hazardmuffin]

Tom, your intuition woth dogs is incredible. You have a real gift, not just knowing how the dogs feel and what they're thinking but knowing how to explain things to the owner in a helpful way. You are an incredibly versatile and adaptable teacher!

[@JenniferKelly]

I am gonna go out and get this equipment now. I too was anti-prong collar, and pro treat treat treat...until I found you.. my dude needs it tho. He is just way too excitable and I need him to listen. So I’m gonna get this equipment soon. LOVE watching your videos! So glad I found you. I wish we could have an update from Henry!!

[@happysunshine5906]

I use a prong collar and and the mini educator ecollar on my 10lbs Yorkie mix. Especially with small dogs, people think these tools are a no go because they’re so cute and smol. My little one went through 14 sessions, all 1:1 with a balanced trainer. People criticize me about the tools I use, but I’m learning to not care. He now can be off leash because of his reliable recall. *cries in Yorkie*

[@Lacroixmakeupartist]

It is indeed the coolest dog train channel!! 👌🏻

[@tomdavisofficial]

Faith Lacroix Makeup Artist thank you ❤️

It really is! 👍

[@barbarasmith4560]

I love watching this trainer

[@gladysong_]

What I can't believe the other trainer told this lady to walk her dog at MIDNIGHT 🙄🙄 doesn't that just mean the trainer couldn't train this dog? This owner could've done midnight walks even without going to the trainer. Crazy really. So glad Tom was able to help her. Only after owning a reactive dog myself I realise how much debate there is over dog training and how pure positive reinforcement training will never work for dogs like that. I really really wish people are more educated in this aspect. And they should STOP spreading rumours that choke/prong collars are used as torture devices what the hell! I'm using a choke collar and this lady asked me if I choke my dog using it like what?! My leash is always slack because of the training I've done with my dog and I can assure her and I bet that her normal collar has more pressure on her dog's neck than my choke collar cos her dog pulls 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@eemmzzz]

Here we call it a check chain and pinch collar respectively. I haven't had anyone try and berate me for using a check chain yet but if they do I'm going to say they're welcome to try walking my 90lb+ 12 month old GSD on a flat collar stuffing cookies in his mouth and see how that goes lol. They'll just get dragged down the road!

[@braden6773]

​@@eemmzzz If you still need the check chain after 12 months to avoid getting dragged down the road. He is just behaving for fear of punishment. I'm not sure that is much better than only behaving when there is a reward. In both cases you are screwed if caught unprepared.

[@beau2021]

With his heel the dog looked so proud of himself too! Love it!

[@mavisme4645]

I love the commitment that this owner has to help her dog. She's there with an open mind regardless of what Positive Trainers have told her, and she's willing to do the work. I wish all dog parents were this invested! Great series of videos, Tom - thanks for sharing!

[@Anna-dm4nx]

The suggestion of a midnight walk by the other trainer blew my mind! WHAT!!!? That is so unrealistic.

[@loridouglas4521]

I will re-watch all of these again and again and take notes. I get so many of these dogs as clients! Thanks Tom!!!

[@wendyberg1569]

Your videos have helped me SO MUCH with our reactive, fearful dog. I had a local trainer come and she was so disgusted with me for using the prong collar. She offered me $50 if I handed it over to her at that moment because it was "cruelty" to my dog. After she left, I felt like a terrible person. Then I found your videos and you helped me in so many ways. Thank you, Tom.

Most of my friends and family freaked when they saw me using the e collar but i have no regrets and neither does my dog its made it so much easier and clearer for him to understand and follow through with off leash walks and other basic obedience thank you for your videos they've helped me and koda immensely.

Thank you SO much for this series. Half a year ago I adopted a dog from Romania, she's perfect in every way but for the leash reactivity towards other dogs. I've been trying so many methods from different trainers and yours is the only one that works. It makes much more sense too. So thank you!

[@constantijnvandenhout5855]

Europe Dobermann fan here... I really appreciate your insights in dogs and their psychology, their differences, their individuality. I have two Dobers at the moment, one is a female 1,5 years, the other one I have for only three weeks (is one years), a male. I am completely in synch with your approach. I've had Dobers for 30 years, but of course one is never to stale to learn (I hope), so I watch all of your videos with intent, and I have learned new things from you. Never stop doing what you are obviously so good at! It is much apreciated!

[@lisafoster4468]

People say a dog listens to that because he's afraid. HAH! If he was afraid, he sure as hell wouldn't be so calm around something that usually makes him afraid. He'd be worse, not better. Lovely job. I've been soaking it up and learning so much!! Did you know the guy from the channel Fenrir Canine Training says he idolizes you? Thought you might like that. He seems to be quite the respectable trainer, as well. I'm training my own dog for Agility competitions, but I would like to get his Good Citizen certification first. Thanks in part to you, it's going swimmingly, and I know how to build the engagement I'm going to need to keep him listening to me in a competition situation. Thank you!!

I am currently taking care of my bfs dog right now and he is an 80lb pit. Very aggressive to other dogs like the Rottweiler in your other video. I really love these videos, you're so detailed and it is really helping me to train him to be better when we are outside. Taking him out is such a CHORE because of his attitude lol. He's such a teddy bear in the home so I want him to be able to enjoy going outside without being anxious and stressed. Thanks for making these videos!

[@elijahboateng1411]

Honestly. Tom is a fucking legend. I’ve been taking all his advice and training tips and using it with my second dog Murphy who is a 2 year old golden retriever. He’s been anxious since he was a little pup and the pet behaviourist, said he’d never be normal without medication. I refused to believe her and with tons help have been consistently training him. We are nowhere near perfect and of course some days are frustrating. But In a short amount of time we’ve made leaps and bounds for progress. I’ve only been using the standard flat collar but am now transitioning to a slip collar. Just being clear in what I want him to do and being a leader has helped him so much. This channel is changing my life and I know one day Murphy will be able encounter any situation feeling calm and relaxed. Just want to give a massive shout out to Tom and everyone who supports this community. You’re all great

[@carocloutier6257]

Hey tom, love this four-part series! You totally rock it! Your patience and your education is amazing. I've learned so much and I'm wondering in future if you can have the videos labeled one of four, two of four, three or four and four of four. They don't necessarily always pop up sequentially. I've had to look the final video of the four. Hope you keep them these up they're freaking amazing!omg I can't believe you did all this work in 1 hour! You're definitely creating magic there with the owners and of course you have magic with the dogs that is so obvious! 😍😍👏👏

[@sarahsonnenburg2139]

Also I can record my voice to the system, I can use my voice recording to train my dog, say goodbye to the traditional beep sound for good. So far it seems really effective. All I do is pressing the voice recording button to correct my dogs behavior. We hardly have to use the shock setting.

I'm following the teachings in your videos and i'm finally having a bond with my dog

[@annika8674]

I have a service dog in training at the moment and while clicker training, shaping, and positive training has worked for the majority of our skills, we still struggle with reactivity when other dogs aggress at us. Obviously, it’s reasonable for my guy to react when dogs bark and lunge at us but it’s something that cannot happen when he’s working. I can’t always bail but being able to get him past the dog and break the spell with a quick pop works much better and eventually, hopefully we can work through it. Thanks Tom!

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

E Collars are so misunderstood. My Service dog would have die from chasing and Pica without a using an E Collar. Used correctly they are great. I would never say all you do Tom is use E Collars. As you know its all about balance and using which ever tool is required for the individual dog. Great job Tom, thank you : )

Hey Champ! I’be just subscribed to your channel and love it. Clear, practical and concise. Could I make a suggestion though please? Perhaps you can adjust the file naming convention of the videos as I wasn’t aware this was a four-part series if it wasn’t for one of the comments I came across. I imagine this is the final part in the series. It’s like watching the ending of a movie and not being motivated to watch the beginning afterwards. Love your work.

[@nolanpike6537]

This series is really well done. So helpful. I ordered a prong and while it was on its way I started practising my timing and technique on a flat collar, so that I could learn the body language component of this before the prong was actually on my dog. Just the body language and verbal communication shift drastically helped my dog understand what I wanted and now I feel more confident progressing to using the tool. thanks so much.

[@jamon_2014]

I really like the way you figure out the best way to train each dog. I have wasted a year doing mostly positive traing on my leash reactive beagle. I have also tried other trainers where they tell me I have to be the alpha and the dog needs to be scared of me. I live in Korea, where if I use prong collars or e collars, I am uneducated and I'm abusing my dog. I just ordered my first HS prong collar and a vibrate e collar online. I hope this will help with my stubborn over reactive beagle.

God I need tom to help with my corgi. Hes so hyper and reactive. Insecure. Hes been rehomed and wasnt walked the first year of his life. He just turned 3 and weve made great progress but I realize watching this series I have to work on the relationship and positive reinforcement without treats. Weve done training and obedience classes, but it's not fixing his behaviour. Hes only listened for treats.. I have to make him feel secure. March break (next week) I'm off all week and lm going to work my ass off using these methods to give him the security and confidence on a leash.

[@bjbumblebee5324]

I use an e-collar when I am in an environment where it may be dangerous for my puppy or others. He is a 4 month old gsd and sitz, plots, wait (stay), look at mama (lol) and delivers Mrs Reids(94 year old) newspaper. He is socialized with people and other animals, loves the cats. I use 95 percent positive and 5 percent e-color. He lays down at starbucks at my feet. I have MS and get severe flairs so I needed to get him behaved early. Don't get me wrong, he still does puppy things, like putting all of his toys in the toilet when I go outside briefly without him

[@jessicacain7449]

My e collar has 10 levels. I tried level 10 on myself. It scared the crap out of me BUT it didn't hurt. When I first introduced it, he would not react to the first 5 levels, and when he was extremely excited 7-8 was still not working. I have used 9 once. That whole process was maybe 2 weeks. I also added in a lot of positive reinforcement. At first I also didn't realize I could use the BEEP function for reward, One I figured that out, it was soooo much easier. Now I am on levels 1-3. If he is extremely excited it is a 4. Most of the time I use the BEEP for a positive mark. I've been binging your videos, and picking up things and putting together a box of useful things. Placing them with how my dog is. I =have already made huge progress after 3 days!

[@naturallycheryl]

This is great. I adopted a reactive dog and we may try this soon if the positive methods aren’t getting her where she needs to be. This is my first dog but I’m actually a BCBA. Our code of ethics guides us to exhaust positive methods before introducing punishment. But there is certainly a time and a place where punishment is called for. A slip lead seems like a least invasive solution to a potential safety issue with a reactive dog who isn’t responding to positive reinforcement. I Loled at the midnight walk. Environmental modifications are great but not always practical.

[@jfrank9350]

I would NOT call use of a prong collar or e-collar punishment. As Tom has said, those communication tools add power steering to plain old steering!

I used to LOVE positive only training (i.e Zak George) but then I would never see them deal with reactive or aggressive dogs. And the ones they did deal with were puppies so all the energy could be blamed away on age, so I eventually just went back to watching Cesar Millan stuff but I've been watching your videos and other trainers as well in the hopes that when I get a dog I'll know the best assortment of methods on training them.

[@aarondrossart6026]

[@nopeabb8393]

I believe there are dogs that can be trained with purely positive dog training. But there are lots of dogs that don't respond well on purely positive training methods. My dog is like that, and after positive training become popular I tried it on him. Keep in mind that he was 8 year old, well behaved dog that knew lots of tricks...2 moths in only on purely positive training he become unbearable... And I agree with what you said in the video. Most of purely positive trainers are biggest reason why dogs are being left in the shelter and euthanized. I live in EU where shock and prong collars are illegal, choke collars are legal but most of the pet stores are not selling them anymore and you will be attacked on the street as a dog abuser...and yet nobody cares that dogs are being euthanized and that more and more people are having problems with their dogs.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Nopea bb there’s without a doubt you can train a dog using it but 99.9% of that time is teaching new behaviors not fixing them.

[@juicesupplier]

Seeing how balanced training helped this dog (even though he's a small size) made me realize the value of boundaries. For anyone who's reading this, don't worry I'm gonna be working with K9 Grassroots over the next couple months to learn how to use the tool. Hopefully, my girl will be more confident on walks soon.

I use a prong and the Mini Educator collar for my 10lb Yorkie mix! Ha. Much much smaller than the dog in this video.

My dog trainer told me that action and reaction have to be balanced. The "sit situation" is a perfect example for that.

I like the idea of an E collar and wil do more research. If ever hiking and I allow my dogs to get a good range on me, I’d like to feel I can touch them with out touching them. That plus whistle sounds haha. Of course I only off leash with no one around!

Yup I was warned ohhh it’s shock collar! Give more treats, be more exciting.. Huh?!! He’s 150lbs now and he doesn’t care about the liver!! I’ve seen great strides with my one year old newf with ecollar! I will admit I like your way better than what I’ve been taught. They told me say come, no come tap the collar.but it doesn’t always work Today I had him off leash said come, held it down(on a 5) he immediately turned and came, as soon as he turned I released. At least I think I recall that’s your method 🤔

Hey Tom, what kind of collar are you using here? I was checking your amazon equipment list but I don't see it. Between this series and the one you posted a couple of days ago, me and my dog are enjoying the walks way more.

"everybody gets bullied at the dog park." haha yes, thank you!

These collars are amazing. My 180 pound Malamute is so much better behaved with one of these. Her hair is quite long, so I do have to be aware of it getting tangled after a bit.
