I Got The Most Protective Dog In The World!

[@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. 💖💖

[@lazy210-f4j]

Cool

[@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 !!!

[@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!

[@Theresa-h9p]

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

[@tomdavisofficial]

He is!!

[@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😂😂😂

[@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

[@Aotalksmusic]

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!

[@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!

[@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🙌

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

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thank you!

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 😂

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@vanessaf7259]

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

[@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🙏

ahaha yes this will be interesting

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

[@seanthomas5182]

Omg, I am SO. ^&@#IN'. EXCITED. To see how you raise a Boerboel. There's few to no videos of actual boerboel training, or how to be the boss of a boerboel in film (just commentaries).

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. ❤

[@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 🫠

[@jo-annmcintyre7717]

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

[@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.

[@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]

👍🏻❤

[@samanthablevins8009]

He's GORGEOUS!!!! Congratulations!

[@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!

[@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 😁😁😁

[@Aquilasdev]

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.

Congratulations on the new puppy! As a boerboel owner I’m really looking forward to this series!

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.

[@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!

[@robkoons1891]

Amazing pup. Love this breed. I own cane corsos, and one thing I've learned with some of the large protective breeds is it takes patience and understanding. What I mean by understanding is how your actions and attitude are being relieved by the dog. They can and will get their feelings hurt and or develop mistrust much more easily than a normal everyday dog. But the reward you get for all your work is tney will protect you with their life and not think twice about it

[@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 😊

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.

[@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).

[@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 :)

[@EauDeMichele]

I wished I’d seen this 2 years ago. We messed up big time with our pup on fear with walks. I had to put a lot of effort in to correct our mistakes. She’s much better now. I have to constantly work on not feeling guilty to this day.

Awesome, and an excellent choice! My neighbor has a pair of protection dogs, a Malinois and a Boerbel for his wife because he travels. They know me and are as sweet as you can imagine to who they know.

This is sooo exiting, greatest thing on youtube since Will Atherton was raising his Corso, real life lessons, thank you so much for taking us with you on this journey, subscribed just for this, to follow you along the way, I'm sure many people gonna really benefit from this. And congrats with your new bundle of joy (and stress and sleepless nights 😂), seeing it brings all those memories - the cuteness but such a hard work that is totally worth it, all you put in such a pup will come back x10. I noticed that many people have quite different experiences with Boerboels, they all have something very individual but like one owner once said - they all need love, guidance and discipline in equal measures. Once you have your heart stolen by a Boerboel and create that bond -it's something else. But the knowledge and talent to handle those dogs is a must. It's great you can show how it's done, too many people do it wrong without realising it and when Boerboel turns 18 months or so becomes unhandleable (the so called typical switch). Can't wait for the next video, seeing it how you do it 👍

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.
