HOW TO FIX LEASH AGGRESSION IN 1 SESSION!

[@inkwhiskers9948]

Subscribed, belled, commented! I love how with Tom's videos we can see how he is improving as a trainer and a teacher. I feel like I'm on the ride with him, learning together!

[@tomdavisofficial]

LOVE THIS! That's exactly how I feel to. Y'all get to travel with me and see how I progress and adapt as a human and trainer over the years!

[@bettyvanderhooven-schmaasc4235]

@@tomdavisofficial Tom, I pray you can feel how you touch ppl's lives. Seeing dogs respond to you usually makes me happy cry. I like and comment as often as I can because I know it helps you continue to save dogs. I share and encourage friends to subscribe too. Life for you will just continue to get better and better. This I know w certainty. I'm disabled and am searching for a trainable service dog. I can't afford to buy one. So I look to you to help me train. I like your style and confidence over other trainers I've watched. Do you offer online coaching?

[@jdondewveall167]

I'm learning allot! I subscribed, turned on notifications and commented

[@danni9765]

It’s always good to hear the owners asking a lot of questions because it’s not just a “fix my dog” it’s a “how can I better myself for my dog”. Plus it’s helps all of us learn too! Great job.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Agree! Love to see it!

[@MyBlitz7]

They were asking all the questions I ask myself every day 😂 Kudos for asking really specific questions, as you said it helps everyone

[@krystingerard9428]

I love how engaged these owners are. They’re asking so many questions and you can tell they’re really trying to understand how to help their dog as best they can

[@tomdavisofficial]

Same!

[@BaileyClarkOfficial]

I think the thing I like most about Tom is his analogies he uses to explain these training concepts to uninformed owners.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thank you!!

[@marissar4229]

He’s such a happy pup after a little bit of direction! This is a great reminder of how important it is to be the “leader” and not be so hyper focused on watching your dog the entire time. I know I needed to hear it again. Thanks for all you do, Tom!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks so much Marissa!

[@brookejon3695]

It blows my mind that a vet said he should be euthanized just for his fearful reactivity. 🤯 He’s a sweet boy and he was just looking for some guidance to feel more confident and trust in his owners! Great job Tom, Geo, and Geo’s owners!

[@topcatwarrior]

I would be looking for a new vet!😊

[@kingkungu]

Vets are great at medical treatments, surgeries and medicine not behavior modification. It's easier for them to press the syringe rather than use leash pressure or corrections. 🙃

[@emilka2033]

Vets are for the most part not behavioral modification specialists and have limited resources - when a dog displays behavior that is potentially harmful to other people they will recommend euthanasia if the owner is not able to train the dog for whatever reason like financial or liability problems. It's a public safety issue and the vet literally can't offer anything else to the client in these kinds of situations. 99% of vets will recommend euthanasia to people with dogs that risk biting someone. (I worked at a vet clinic for a few years and know this process). I wouldn't blame the vet or say that it's the "easy" thing to do because it isn't, and people who euthanize their dogs due to behavioral issues have usually expended all of their options.

[@inkwhiskers9948]

This is the sort of thing that the positive only movement is causing. It's why we can't put laws on dog training methods. We should be able to choose for our own dogs. Sorry I got a bit ranty.

[@tomdavisofficial]

@@topcatwarrior They did!

[@Buttons742]

I love how you explain that there are things in life that keep us humans in check too. Speed limits for example. Same way we gotta keep our dogs in check. Great work, Tom!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks so much

[@plumeriapam]

The simplicity of giving guidance with direction and positive reinforcement. It seems so easy but us humans we forget this is how we were taught. Thank you for giving us the tools!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks for wAatching! :)

[@99JC21]

The chip bag reference was so good. Tom always keeps things relatable and simple to understand!

[@Talayasha]

It's great seeing how his body language changes and opens up over the course of the video, it really shows much the guidance helped him.

[@iotoc]

Man, I love how relaxed he looked by the end with Tom

[@tomdavisofficial]

Same!!!

[@wallsofgab]

This is a great reminder for me to keep my eyes forward. The one thing I always forget is to not stare at my dog while trying to get her to do that heel! I'm so focused on trying to get HER focus, that we just lose it all-together. It's so hard! 😅

[@cesarvazquez1180]

I love how this owner was so engaged with Tom. Not only did he ask a lot of questions, but he asked specific questions that made it clear he was thinking ahead. He wasn't afraid to ask for clarification and that makes the sharing of information so much easier. The viewers thank you, sir.

[@mauras7579]

The other day I was @ The Met Museum in Nyc looking at sculptures by Degas of animals and my first thought was "wow, that ones looks like Lakota"...such a graceful and beautiful animal...I always say that watching Tom work with her is like watching a ballet

[@OMDAT]

Been watching your videos since I got my dog as a 3 m/o. We're a year and a half further and I am still (re)learning from your videos. I am sure I speak for more people: thanks for the huge value you deliver, Tom. Thanks.

[@wewu51]

What a great progress he made! Once the guidance is given, he’s so calm. Thanks Tom

[@K9observer]

Another superb video. Melts my heart to see a misunderstood pup being understood and respected.

[@Missfoxtooyou]

Love the engagement the dog had w/ it owners. The sign of relief. “I’m a better handler, “ thanks to you Tom. 🥰

[@carrieimus9398]

Training humans not the dogs. I love it! Definitely so accurate!

[@lizwalke656]

The dog looked so much more relaxed at the end. The owners asked great question too.

[@roydenley-idt-c4516]

I truly love the re-conditioning of reactive dog training you do. We are in a similar boat to this couple, rescue GDS/Malinois came home 3/2020. Thank you for helping save her

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks for the support!

[@bettyvanderhooven-schmaasc4235]

💛💙💜💚

[@kylasbibi]

This client asked the best questions. You can tell he really wanted to learn!

[@melaniecota4916]

I love that every video I watch I get little take aways to apply at home!

[@boooshes]

always a joy to see a dog get happy once they believe the owner is in control

[@skipperbee]

The whole concept of confidence is so important. Applicable to everyday life even. When you don’t feel confident, people and animals can read that and then they also don’t feel confident.

[@gemalaboccetta7601]

Always love watching you transform a human. 😊 nice job Tom.

[@karenwolfsen]

I’m a recent follower and I’m so amazed how You work the dog and the owner I’m still working the stray I found in January. It’s a long road but it’s worth it. I’m trying to save his life. No one would take him ( rescues) so I kept him. Today I fell in my yard and couldn’t get up ( I suffer from chronic pain and once I’m down I’m down) Sarge came right to me and stood strong to help me get up. He didn’t care that I was pulling down on him or his collar. Maybe he did find me for a reason. But know he needs to learn to love my family Thank you for giving me knowledge I can use. 🐾

[@cjboots1115]

All the books, podcast, audio books, my own notes. But there is always something I can learn and or re-learn to sharpen my skills. There is so much to training that it's easy to forget the small details

[@baylamakarov8701]

The confidence and enthusiasm this session brought out of this dog

[@elizabetholivianatashajohn567]

I really love how these videos are helping me as a dog owner. Ive got so much knowledge that I could apply to my dog. thank you for sharing these videos and showing how you should treat and train your dog. the way you show it is very clear and very easy to understand.

[@kewikid68]

It's such a great pleasure watching, when your clients and their dogs practically "inhale" the training! The dogs eyes when they really look at them for the first time and you can tell that they are correctly perceiving the change in their behavior. Something like "oh, that's what you want f me to do" or "that's how I should do it" and "ok, you say where to go, you have the responsibility", thats what's lieing in their gaze. It's always fascinating watching how the connection you're talking about actually becomes truely visible. It's amazing how much our dogs are able to give. How much they're giving back to us, when we do the right thing at the right moments. And so the dogs are able to make the right decisions as a result. It's simply admirable how you manage to convey exactly that to your clients. You have my greatest respect for that! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much that we can watch all this for free - in favor for the beloved dogs out here. 🥰 We can't thank you enough! 🙌🏻🙏🤗

[@mommabearlotus2209]

My Huckleberry has transformed since I started watching you last year. Thank you for making these videos available.

[@kylielopez5515]

this is SO helpful, i work in a shelter where 80% of the time the dogs are reactive to dogs, people, or both

[@brandishipp8098]

wow. i just watched a 20 minute video on fixing leash aggression, and i don't even have a dog. tom is such a skilled trainer - really interesting to watch!

[@kellysharp5184]

I have a 15 month old Cane Corso/German Shepherd mix. She is extremely leash reactive and fear aggressive. She doesn't like anyone but her own people, she is also a barker and puller. I'm learning alot from your videos to teach her the right way.. I'm thankful I found your channel.

[@kathyp281]

I love the questions this owner is asking - you can tell he is really keen on learning how to handle his dog correctly. Something I wish to see from more dog owners :)

[@taylorheady4241]

So good! I have a reactive lab and it surprises people sometimes. Some Dogs just don’t like things, has nothing to do with the breed. You taught me that Tom! Thank you

[@theazuulrl]

This is the perfect in depth explanation on a basic heel. It all starts at obedience!

[@Mindy56743]

This is so much information for someone with a good dog that has some problems. You break it down to simple steps that we can practice

[@susancampbell2859]

I learn something every time I view your videos!! Can't tell you how much I appreciate you teaching the doggo parents to be good parents...!!

[@nicholleakkerman8912]

I just received my own “No bad dogs” 280c for my pit bull who I’ll be getting back from my parents while i was getting my own place for her to be here. Im excited to boost her training. She’s trained with basics but struggles a little bit with wanting to do it consistently.

[@halfbakednbearded4996]

I adopted an 8 mo XL bully at the beginning of covid and Tom's videos have been a lifesaver and saved my wallet too! Thanks for the continued great content!

[@rickymceachern8021]

What an amazing transformation in this dog.

[@alliepassons1695]

i love how once geo had the first correction a switch just flipped and he was so much more engaged and less nervous and stressed and how his owners got more and more confident as the session with on I love seeing how that changes and that confidence grows as they work with you in their sessions. great work!

[@melissajankiewicz2624]

Our dog struggles with these same issues. Have tried Mini Educator, prong, gentle leader, with no luck. Stubborn 80 lb boxer girl with a lot of fear aggression. She’s gotten a little better on her walks, but still freaks when she sees other dogs and isn’t crazy about visitors to the home. Won’t give up on her. She’s a great dog.

[@cherylannesley937]

I adopted a extremely anxious GSD a year ago. He just turned 4, he is miles better today. We still have a ways to go but your videos have been such a help. Thank you.

[@StratRider]

your client asked some good questions here also which helped a lot. Always amazed how simple you make it look.

[@charlynne4910]

No other trainer explains as well as Tom! He has the owners figured out in seconds, and the dogs reap the benefits! I learn something new in every video!

[@publis9094]

Got an english bulldog from my buddy... was told repeatedly how stubborn and untrainable they are. 1 month in and he sits, stays, downs, heels on command. barely pay him with treats anymore. Now its just love and extra excited celebrations when he does what he needs to do. I credit this to tom and his philosophy on training canines. Thank you so much for letting me enjoy my bulldog and giving him a life that has purpose, meaning and happiness.

[@df3557]

Love Toms approach to his clients!

[@nikkivandervegt3375]

This video gives me hope for our super timid/scared/nervous dog! She’s a rescue and likely has a rough past, but gosh this definitely has me looking at myself and what I’m doing wrong… amazing how it’s less of training the dog and more of training the handler!

[@chrisjabr8638]

So encouraging to see how we can improve as human leaders to be better for our dog. Thank you for teaching us how to be better so we can all have fuller lives.

[@FrecklefrownGaming]

Hey Tom I'm a big and long time fan. You really show people that it's not the dog that's the problem it's the owners and I've learned from your videos that that's a problem that we as dog owners need to be aware of and stop taking it out on the animals. This was a great video and I really look forward to your future ones.

[@kierstynroman5449]

He's so cute! I'm so happy they found you and he will have a more comfortable and confident life soon 💙 🐾

[@Dogfbi]

This is the best heal demo I've seen so far! The owner asked great questions!!

[@brigittewatto]

I love how you explain it in a way that makes the humans click to the concept

[@dinnyf]

I’m an older behavior modification trainer and i think this is the best video you’ve ever done! Terrific clear communication to the owner! Tom, you’re a master!

[@vincentmorin-deruyter505]

Very good ''students'' always good to see people try to get their dog a better, less stressfull life.

[@sweatynready2567]

By far one of the greatest trainers out there! I think this is best student yet, asking the right questions. Wish I lived in NY would definitely take my leash reactive GSD to him, I’m in Austin, TX haven’t come across anyone very good.

[@julianacerezorangel]

This video gives me hope, I can see my dog in this one and with patience and correct training I want to achieve this for him. Thank you!

[@lesaoackes3789]

Your teaching style helps us all understand how we can help our dogs be successful. Thank you! Outstanding video!

[@rainiemontes5765]

Always love how you explain everything to the owners!! Leaving no room for concerns or questions

[@leahd4611]

My favorite part of watching your video is seeing the change in the dogs eyes. In this case they went from intensely fearful to relaxed and happy. It's truly amazing the help you give to dog owners.

[@kevinkimchy687]

Countering with obedience works wonders. Being a strong leader is the best way to show your love. Thanks for being real Tom. Much appreciated 👍

[@janetolsen1583]

Have watched you for a little while. Turned a few friends on to your ways. I so wish I lived closer. I'm taking things one step at a time. Thanks for putting your knowledge out there for us that are so isolated in the country.

[@bethanynewby9263]

I love the way you explain things, making it easier to understand for us non-pros!!

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

Wish I could meet you one day in person with my GSD, and do a handshake ! Every video is just right on point. Thanks Tom! Owners did amazing job!

[@devilishdiamond]

It is so wonderful seeing the change in the dog. I could just imagine the amount of stress that would be lifted of for both the owner and the dog.

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Tom, this video is, in my opinion, the best explanation you've given that helps us humans understand what our dog is thinking and how they think about what is happening at any given moment, and the best, quickest, and easiest way for us humans to communicate with our dog. How often during the daily walks do you allow your dog to be a dog? What I do is bring my dog in and heal, slow, quicken up, turn and cross to the other side of the road...then after about 5-8 minutes, I tell him to "go sniff" and allow him to well, go sniff a few places and telling him "good sniff" as he starts sniffing. After about 2-3 minutes, "heal" and we're back at it, checking the neighborhood.

[@rachelmedina4624]

We use your “tune up” at the start of every walk- I think the neighbors think I’m crazy! 😆 Thanks for all your great info!!

[@beckywheeler6677]

Same! 😂

[@eisacurran9829]

I’ve watched all of his videos and have learned sooo much just from other peoples dogs and there goals to fix problems! It’s helped me and my dog have a better relationship

[@elviaricci3412]

Absolutely love Tom's approach with dog training! I've had trainers get my rottie to the point of throwing up from rough handling and prolonged leash pressure. Tom seems very respectful to both the pet and owner

[@logankass1890]

This video is easy to follow and doable. I have learned what i am doing wrong because that is where the daily lies not with my dog.

[@thepragmatist71]

At the start of the training you could see Geo was nervous and unsure. At the end of the training, Geo's body language was happy in knowing what was required. Knowing where the boundaries were. Good onya Tom! (Good onya is Aussie slang for well done) Another dog saved with true human education.

[@annatelford9905]

The beginning almost made me cry. You are amazing!! Thank you for advocating for so many dogs.

[@stephenlynch1617]

Hi Tom, It’s Stephen from Savannah, GA. Your videos are pure training gold. I’m currently proofing the basics with my Labradoodle Daisy and I have friends asking me how to train their dogs. I’m thrilled when they ask this because I get to recommend your channel!

[@joda7771]

I was going to say this without the give away. You are explaining things so figuratively. Love that! ❤️

[@sannapaws4639]

omg Tom, at ~17 min (when music cued), Geo's tail was wagging, he's walking so nice, he's relaxed, no wild eyes, & you can literally see the confidence & happiness in him. Beautiful! makes tears run outta my eyes lol. THIS is why you're on this earth, the man with the gift & heart for dogs. i freaking love this. ty so much.

[@BOYBOY152]

Heel portion was really helpful. This is an area where I struggle with my dog. Definitely going to try this later today. Thank you Tom for the helpful videos and keep up the great work.

[@Itsacrazyworldwelivein]

Love the fishing analogy! Something most everyone can relate to.

[@saraperez6324]

I have an insecure dog who struggles with other dogs and Tom’s videos have helped us make progress in the past year we have had him. Watching videos like these with the dog responding in so little time never ceases to amaze me!!!

[@cdnbean]

great explanations of why the person should do

[@tesslee100]

I really liked how you explained heel in the parking lot with the owners. I need to work harder on heel with my GSD. He has pulled me down on a walk. He pulls hard on the leash to sniff everything, and I cannot get him to focus.

[@taylororrison2663]

I am saving to bring my dog to you. I tell my wife often that you’re the only trainer I’d trust to work with him/us to get his reactivity under control.

[@jackierivera2514]

Thank you Tom! Your videos help us with training our 5 month old German Shepard puppy who's so reactive while walking him and meeting new people. He was taken from his litter at 6wks, and is so insecure and anxious. We rescued him at 2months.

[@99JC21]

Recommending this video to all my anxious dog owners.

[@lorraineburke9720]

Love how you work with people and dogs. I learn so much from your videos. Hope to see you in person one day.

[@tanners3376]

Our boy Kuma and our handling has gotten miles better from your videos. The pound said he could never go on walks or be around dogs and we’ve proved them wrong! Appreciate your informational videos! Liked, subscribed, belled!

[@scoobydoo1161]

You are so right Tom Davis more people should listen to your videos because you can change the dog training community and have dogs and their owners be much happier and relaxed .once they find out what is going on with their dogs behave and have help for you who understand's so much better than other dog trainers out there it's just like what you said because other dog trains my have you just work around the dog's problem instead of just facing the problem at hand you are so right and you are so pawsome with dogs and their clients. who need help because they have tried everything else to fix the problem and it did not work that way I applaud you so much. you have actively helped save my dog's life when he was a puppy because he had some behavior problems but after watching some of your videos I was able you fix his behavioral trouble for good and I think you so much for that I'm so glad that there is a dog trainer that sees throw a dogs eye of view and the owners.

[@mollie102195]

It’s so amazing to see his body language change through to the end of this video! Geo is such a good boy and his owners are great asking so many questions!

[@dardeb1]

Great instruction. It is amazing how the dogs respond to your leash pressure. Your contribution to humanity K9 interaction improves both. The vibrating pager looks like it may help our leash reactive pup.

[@Stilinski1485]

It's really neat to see how the owners learn throughout the video.. at the beginning of the video, the guy was very unsure just like his dog, constantly looking at him and just seemed like he wasn't really sure what to do. And Geo's behavior reflected that! It really goes to show you how much the handler impacts the dog.
