NEW PUPPY OWNERS DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START TRAINING

[@myservicedogbear4627]

I have multiple sclerosis and trying to start training my 7 month old English Labrador to be my service dog. Walking is a big deal and your videos are a great help. Please keep them coming. I am definitely a new lifelong fan ❤️😊❤️!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Happy for you Tammy :)!

[@kerrihiggins2106]

Seriously need to do a puppy series!!!

[@tomdavisofficial]

🤔

[@skylershiroma5318]

I second that

[@koshlapmike5133]

Yes puppy series

[@annecoogan5164]

Yes from day one please. Want to get it correct right from the first night!

[@hwharton5925]

Fully agree! I have 4 mo old GSD and could use a pup series! You are the first Balanced trainer I have found that I completely agree with! I love that you use only the tools you need and at the minimal level needed.

[@1cbrracer]

I love that the owners says 'I don't want to mess her up' No. 1 problem I have is its the owners that are wrong. Not the dog.

[@tomdavisofficial]

NO BAD DOGS

I love the client's personality.

[@tomdavisofficial]

[@empitts]

Clearly these people have taken the time to choose the correct breed/type of dog to match them. What a joy, awesome personality of this dog. Thanks for this video it's an invaluable tool for many dog owners.🙂

[@tomdavisofficial]

Absolutely! Thank you for watching!!

[@bendosia]

Any idea what kind of dogs this was?

[@empitts]

@@bendosia To me the dog resembles the mixed, designer breed Sheepadoodle.

[@janes541]

He looks like my floof. My sheepadoodles are very smart. This dog is gonna be perfect for them.

My wife and I train service dog for disabled veterans. Your videos are so well done keep up the good work. I really enjoy watching and learning new techniques.

That’s awesome! Thanks for your continued support

[@lily_05x80]

I love it when owners come to Tom and ask for help. Not wanting to mess the dog up or needing education about tools. Nothing can stack up to a trainer like Tom. Learnt so much from this channel!

thanks Lily :)

These owners are amazing! Immediately came in with the attitude, "What can _I_ do, to help my dog?".

She is so cute! Super compliant! She really wants to please. Have fun with your puppy!! I know we are struggling with our 6 month old Elkhound which is why I am glued to these videos!

[@petronela910]

Have to stop just 2mins in to comment on their attitude. Absolutely amazing that they know that THEY'RE the ones that need the work. So refreshing to see people taking responsibility for themselves and not just blaming the dog or the tool

[@rickderlowe2380]

I’m always looking to be a better person in life. We all struggle with different things and maybe don’t reach out for help. I believe we can learn from someone else’s misfortune to better ourselves. I use Tom’s videos just for that. Every video I watch I gain a little more puzzle pieces to complete the picture to become better person to my dog.

I would love a video explaining when you use the slip lead and when you use a prong and why. I notice it’s different for every dog so i’m curious what makes you decide which tool to use and the difference between the two

[@randir.3080]

Oh how I'd love for you to watch me with my dogs and tell me what I can do to improve. But just watching your videos has leveled us up so much and I've worked with multiple trainers and your youtube has been the most valuable! You have a gift!

Tom, my son is getting a English white lab puppy that will be 8 weeks old, to help with my autistic children. They have been in contact with the breeder, parents on site. The breeders had my son fill out a form and was interviewed. The breeders have a child that also has autism so they are choosey who gets their dogs.mI will baby sitting him for 2 months so he will not be around other dogs before his training. We are so excited to have a therapy dog for my granddaughter’s meltdowns. I have watched your channel for over a year and love everyone of them

i love watching your videos. i’ve been to so many trainers with my boy over the years and ever since i have found your videos we have made such an improvement. watching your videos not only gives me the ability to be more confident in being a leader but the ability to train him correctly. my boy has not only gone from being completely out of control to almost being the perfect dog. we are still having our share of issues but i am so thankful that i found your videos awhile back. you have helped me so much

[@Alicec127]

Thank you Tom for the information. I am a schnauzer puppy owner who also gets confusion with the owner in the video and that’s why my dog bark at everything when we are outside. The treat method doesn’t work for her. After watching your videos for 3 days with the use of prong collar ( before we used the metal slide collar and it chokes on her so much), I could see improvements already. She still likes to bark at other dogs but less frequent to humans now. Thank you so much.!!! ❤️

Tom, I love your calm energy and passion for dogs. It shines through as SO genuine. Thank you for all of the content you provide. Peace, love and muddy paws!

I want to be a dogtrainer someday, a lot of trainers use food, but i learned, thanks to your videos, that you should only reward with food when you're done. Your videos are ao educating! Of course i will not work with aggressive (anxious) dogs, but starting with my own dog is a great opportunity! Thanks alot for all the information!❤️❤️

[@hannahmaria167]

i wish i could afford to bring my pup there for a the out of state program! maybe one day lol, for now we’re settling for watching these videos😭😂 my dude is an 8 month old great dane and he’s SO sweet, but he’s a little reactive on the leash because he wants to play with everything that passes, these videos are helping a ton!

[@rosalieegberink669]

If we wants to play with everyone the best thing to do about that is expose him to everything. Go out to a place where lots of people/dogs walk and do some obedience training. Don't let him interact with any person or dog while he's on leash. Social walks are great for this too! Do you have Instagram? I can recommend some dog training accounts to you if you're interested

[@terryt8566]

Absolutely love your videos and instruction. You truly have a gift in working with mans best friend. When possible, can you perhaps show more on how to work on the stay and or place commands.

[@lucidmind75]

Thank you for your good work. Is there a technique on how to get a young dog used to corrections in training? The dog in question was very unreceptive and would fight corrections even as a puppy (small corrections on lead from 5mo). Now the dog is 1 y 3 m and is reactive to other dogs and sometimes humans. Whenever it gets correction for such behaviour, it fuels her up even more. I think maybe my state of mind is in play here, since I get angry and frustrated while applying correction and it makes things worse. Im trying to work on that to stay emotionaly neutral while correcting. Other than this problem, the dog is attached to me far more than other members of family so I dont understand why she is fighting me so much on this. I dont like to enter a conflict with my dog, which happens almost every time I correct for reactivity (she accepts corrections for breaking obedience commands while theres no triggers involved). The corrections are on choke collar. Should I switch to prong? Is it posible I desentisized her as a puppy by using too mild corrections?

[@sukanlayasimon9436]

Super helpful! Thank you 🙏

[@scout1430]

Quick question, Tom: Will I know when it's time to stop using the prong collar? Or should I always use it when going on walks for the rest of my dog's life?

[@aciel_reed]

i think you can always keep it, just as a safety belt, i do the same with mine

[@madknacker]

Our puppy is having an issue within only our home. Whenever we cook she cowers and shakes. If she’s in a home she hasn’t been in before or not too often, cooking doesn’t bother her. We were told she needs more structure and to learn a “place” command. The problem is, putting her in her place just makes her shake there. How can we improve on her exposure without her shutting down? Should we just remove her from the area?

[@seanarnold6951]

How old can you start the prong collar? I have an four and half month GSD/Malanois who all ready can pull very hard.
