Tom Davis has a rare mix of skill and humility. He educates both the dog & the owner, but HE is also always learning.

[@tomdavisofficial]

thank you very much for these kind words ❤

YOU WON!!!! DM ME ON IG @nobadogs!

@@tomdavisofficial I'm old and don't know how 😑. I'll ask my kids!!!!

[@Klugschieterin]

Yes, Tom Davis is like an exceptional good wine: getting always better with time

[@WedrownyGrajek]

I think you've captured in words the core of Tom. He seems to be a humble decent person, aware of the meaning of life and someone with a purpose. And I admire that. 👍

[@sambr__]

I feel the anxiousness of the owner, and being honest, I'm just like that 😂 It's hard to remember to be calm and do the things you've been training, even more with a dog so energetic lol

[@tomdavisofficial]

It is hard

[@MoMountainMutts]

The dogs are the real teachers sometimes, they succeed through your success. Being aware of yourself, them, and your surroundings is a skill, and how you can impact your surroundings too.

[@sambr__]

@@MoMountainMutts For sure! We learn so much with them...

[@tinkyfly1]

1000% I picked up my boy from daycare and there was a new guy. Immediately started feeling nervous and anxious and my boy felt it immediately 😂

[@emilyclay3485]

I completely agree, that has been the most difficult for me and my maligator also.....and shes got SUCH high energy lmao. Super reactive and I am uncomfortable with mine around people also. My situation sounds so much like this one. Mine is so anxious and it makes me very 😔 sad.

[@briannagagliardi6592]

Saving people and their dogs one relationship at a time 🥳 Also Lakota shaking the leash on the couch lol hilarious

Much love, thanks for watching, Brianna!

Lakota said "c'mon Dad! Let me show her! Let me show her!" 😁

[@PARoth2011]

This woman is like so many of us. I love her honesty and drive to learn. Thank you for kindly explaining the TIMING, the analogy of being like MAGNETS was wonderful!! Great video for showing how the energy transmits down the leash. Beautiful and intelligent dog too.

[@nicoleknott7825]

Tom Davis and his pod casts have litterly changed my life. I adopted an aggressive, sacred, reactive year and some change terrier a little over 3 weeks ago. When I first got her she was charging, thrashing, snapping and essentially one of the most scared and intimidating animals I have ever met in my life. I have followed Tom's advice and use of dog training tools that he gives freely on his podcasts and KZbin videos. Fast forward a short 3 weeks and we can walk outside with no incidents, she's has not started a fight with my other dog in over a week, she has stopped trying to eat my cat and is well on her way to being a fully integrated family/pack member. Thank you. For all you do for the #nobaddogs community Thank you for the soild advice and Nyla thanks you for a second lease at life.

[@tomdavisofficial]

[@Givinggracemama]

Watching Kota being so intent on Tom is adorable ! But it also shows how much she loves and respects Tom as an owner

[@Cathan1856]

That owner did well. Trying to get rid of that anxiety when your dog is reactive takes time, but as your confidence builds, it will get better. At first you have to tell yourself to relax and after some time, you just automatically do when things start going well with the obedience. That’s one of many things I have accomplished with the help of these videos.

[@maddiebarnhill9346]

I loved this video. As a college student, I can’t afford your training right now, but these videos help my dog and I continue to benefit. I hope some day we will be able to meet you!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Glad it helps!

[@sadielawson2709]

It was nice seeing the owner calm down along with her pup. She started to add in more verbal praise towards the end which helped tons & it was awesome to watch.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Yes it was!

[@chelseamiller5260]

when she was rolling around on the floor on her break oh my heart 😍

[@dogandmeuniversity-private3223]

Tom, your ability to use analogies that make everything so relatable, is unlike anyone else. It really makes everything make sense and easy for people to understand. Also, Ruby's tail wag after a correction is the best. She understands!

[@thehealthydog9915]

I have a heeler mix with high prey drive. He finally has recalled on deer. And 1 cat. Working on bunny rabbits. Squirrel are his hardest. But took him out to a field with cows he's never been around cows. He was herding them perfectly. He moved them no problem. From far away. It was awesome to see the natural instincts.

[@Itsjess505]

That’s so awesome! I’ve got a heeler that I’m about to start on an e-collar. Deer are a big one for him, and rabbits, and ducks, occasionally a coyote, cars are his number one though. He’s a very ambitious lad 🤦🏼‍♀️ Wish us luck! 🤞🏻

[@soohiogal]

I'm a retired Certified Professional Trainer. Just wondering how you got started and got your training? So nice for people to have your videos on here. Merry Christmas and best wishes with your continued success. There are NO BAD DOGS!! Just uneducated masters!

[@Missfoxtooyou]

I remembered he shared that he was a dog walker, and then a animal control officer. Friends noticed how well he worked with dogs, and then he shadowed trainers. I could be fuzzy on all the details, but hopefully he will reply. 🐕‍🦺🦮❤️

[@tomdavisofficial]

@@Missfoxtooyou Pretty much it!

[@sararahtz8574]

I loved the slow mo shot of ruby going crazy at the fake dog 😅😅

[@TLimabean]

I am glad that even though my pup is reactive, he is not reactive in an aggressive way. Originally, I was in the whole force-free camp until I realized it was not working for my dog and was even causing behavioral issues to develop. I really had to open my mind and realize my dog needed a different type of training than I was giving him. Tom's videos have helped me so much! I feel more comfortable using tools that I shied away from originally specifically the prong collar and e-collar. It made me realize that for my dog to truly thrive off-leash, with his reactivity, that he needs things like the e-collar! Thank you so much Tom for helping me feel more comfortable training my dog in a way that is going to give him the best life possible! P.S. love seeing Lakota being a goofy girl! It reminds me of my goof!

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks for sharing Taylo :)

[@TLimabean]

@@tomdavisofficial Thank you for creating a community that encourages sharing!

[@cynthiaeastman7456]

I have a dog walking business, I have all kinds of dog personalities. The tips and training you offer are indispensable. I have learned so much from you. Some of my dog owners can’t believe how well their dog acts with me and think I have super power 😆. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You truly have a gift with humans and dogs.

[@teenysboutiqueshop4168]

You’re the ultimate dog translator/ human educator it’s so seamless and amazing to watch you work with these dogs. Floating through the room is such a great explanation to teach us as humans to stay calm, breathe and lead 🙌🏼

[@tomdavisofficial]

THANK YOU!

[@Noctessa]

I love how she lays when comfortable lol

[@laurenperigo6828]

I just love that your approach is tailored to each individual dog. It seems so obvious, but I see so many trainers preaching a one size fits all method. Combining different methods I've seen from your videos is what helped our dog immensely!

[@bunker123sugar]

These owners are actually good handlers, they just needed some guidance. My dog can be reactive when passing another dog, especially if the other dog is high energy or aggressive. So moving my dog off the trail, asking for a sit, stay and letting the other dog pass has always been what worked for my guy.

[@danajones8932]

What’s amazing is how often this dog looks to her owner for direction during the obedience training

[@soinsdetentebiomecanique]

Hi from Qc, I'm a horse educator/trainer and It's a pleasure to watch you teach and train people!! It's a total challenge to be able to teach ''animal lovers'' how to respect the ''ABC''' of communication. You are an amazing trainer. You're a PRO Thanks

[@ArtCrouse]

We've followed Tom's training methods since we got our dog. He was crazy ....after being in a shelter for two years. He is coming along just fine at this point. Thanks for the information Tom. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@tomdavisofficial]

Awesome to here!

[@sandraelaine401]

I adopted a dog with fear-based aggression. I'm trying to learn how to calm her down. Walking is a challenge! Thank you for these videos!

[@athomehoustonbordercollier2035]

Treat fearful dogs the same as dog reactive dogs. Blocking the line of sight follow Tom's footwork in a lot if videos. I do more identification but you don't need to it is a way to desentize (man, woman w groceries, baby or child, dog) still all the same confidence building skills

[@ricardole8255]

I've adopted 2 siblings 1 & 1/2 years ago, and just 2 weeks in I was certain it would never work out and was about to give up. All teared up, I was unable to do it and somehow it has been working out. The reason: I found content like Tom's which keeps showing me light at the end of the tunnel. Really appreciate the work you're putting in!

[@Jake-fd5xs]

i love how the other dog is holding their own leash

[@bionicle3429]

This is way more realistic than the positive only trainers I used to watch. There's no way you can teach loose leash walking with just treats and praise. Such a great teacher with easy and clear instructions. Thank you Tom for putting out these amazing videos

[@BlackNo1918]

What people tend to forget including me sometimes is something Joel Beckman said. "Never not have fun with your dog. Always have fun with your dog." And you can see it in Tom, the way he moves, the way he turns around it's like a dance. And we don't dance because it's necessary. We dance because it's fun! I'm suffering from depression and I always strive to have fun with my dog. No excuses! Hope that helps someone.

[@wilherpel4943]

There are NO BAD DOGS!! The motto I have to remind people who ask why my dog is so well behaved! Thank You Tom!!

[@Jamiebmurray]

It is so fascinating watching the correlation between the owner calming down and being consistent and the dog relaxing..

[@nancymesek]

I could see the owner was the problem in less than 10 seconds of this. She gave commands in a fearful voice, not assertive. I can’t wait to see Tom help the dog.

[@maryharper9321]

The owner was correct in how we feel sometimes work and don’t see progress but her enthusiasm after some results was refreshing

[@sue5242]

I’ve listened to other trainers discuss walking with a dog on a lead…so far I think Tom Davies explains things a lot clearer. He’s also very realistic, I.e. this won’t happen overnight…you have to work at it. He truly sets you up to succeed

[@df3557]

Tom is inspiring. So knowledgeable and kind. And humble.

[@laurenmorgan-outhisack6341]

First off Lakota with the waggi butt and leash in the mouth, priceless. I have been watching these videos ever since our foster fail joined our life. I look forward to the day when we can actually walk by other dogs on the other side of the street.

[@free2bme9797]

Looks like she really wants to do the right thing…she was calm when you showed her mom how to be calm. 👍

[@chrism7777777]

Someone tag the 16 minute conversation! It’s absolutely pivotal in training for most people

[@theresafaust5690]

It’s hard not to love on your dog They’re our family. Hard pill to swallow. They want a leader ❤️🐾🐾❤️

[@DynastyTrickDogs]

What great training and communication here. You can tell the dog was out of control of the owner and you gave it right back to her!

[@kiaraborrelli2278]

I love the relaxed starfish doggo! always great when the owners ask questions that are more for what they are doing not what the dog is doing! awesome video as usual! Thank you so much!

[@marzk9training568]

I thought that I had good recall with my rescue dog after many months of training proofing him through distractions. We were out on a hike and he must have spotted something in the woods and took off up a mountain getting lost. I lost him for over an hour and it was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced! Luckily he was sitting by the car when I got back to the parking lot but I thought I was never going to see my dog again. This experience really made me understand how important e-collar training is. Having that safety net is so important to ensure your dogs safety. I would love one of your Tom Davis e-collars to give my dog back that off leash freedom that he once had and loved so much!

[@MrPandatheSheepadoodle]

This is hands down an awesome leash walking video! Most other dog trainers on KZbin have video's that are mostly dialogue and little actual demonstrations. This shows step by step, with great visuals and explanations to each step, which I find very helpful ❤️🐼

[@tomdavisofficial]

Thanks, we try to make as realstic as possible!

[@chrisnossoughi9039]

My 18 mo old Aussie healer is he has been fear barking at kids and people. He just lounged and barked and air snapped. He was super fearful but willing to investigate meeting the new vet. I have trained and raised many Boerboels over 20 years along with other breeds. This guy is such a different dog…he is so scared of kids and people. Yet he is confident at the dog park and I’m at a loss as to predict him showing interest to meet a new person and yet suddenly snapping.

[@joannekehlbeck8041]

OMG Lakota holding her own leash kills me :) Love her!

[@lostinamap]

I love watching how you help transfer your knowledge to the owners, that's definitely the hardest part of being a dog trainer!

[@whereyatstorm9345]

Learning how to use the leash is everything.

[@ElessariaD]

Such a clear example of how energy can (and does) go up AND down the leash! It was very interesting to see this duo's progress! Poor Ruby not getting a reciprocated play bow from the stuffed dog near the end! Her expression made me literally LoL, but the situation illustrated the progress Ruby is making! SBK's "guest appearance" in the background, holding her lead and laser focused on you was a cute bonus!

[@bogdang2u]

It's great when you see desire to learn in the owner. That's one of the most important things

[@SoulScream1984]

I feel the stress she is dealing with. My wife and I have a 4 year old "Bully" that has become overprotective/ is resource guarding on leash during walks. We are learning thanks to these videos and getting ideas for what is and isn't effective.

[@peks4924]

Timing is everything! I watch Tom’s videos over and over and still always learning something new to apply on my personal training w my dog!

[@MoMountainMutts]

I don’t even have clients like this, but I’m always here to watch 👀 I just upgraded to a mini bus for my pack walks 😂 love seeing Lakota at work!

[@steffanosdot6687]

The owner did such a great job, she really was willing to learn while being realistic. I totally get her anciety, I feel the same some days with my shiba.

[@jodymichelle4965]

There’s a Weimaraner that’s come into the vet clinic I work at a few times with his “mom”. He’s sweet but he is high strung, anxious and does not listen. The “grandma” brought him in one time and I was seriously concerned that something was very wrong with him because when I went into the exam room he was just laying down on the floor and looking out the floor to ceiling window. When I asked the “Grandmother” if she had seen any vomiting, diarrhea and if he was eating and drinking she said he’s fine. I nicely mentioned that he is usually more amped up and trying to go 40 different directions at one time. “Grandma” laughed and said it’s her daughter. The dogs behavior was honest to god, night and day. People don’t realize how many cues their dogs pick up from them.

[@ahc1957]

It is always so amazing to see the difference in a dog after one session.

[@maxmerton2406]

This is my dog to a tee! I came to these videos because a dog trainer just told me that the reason for my dog’s behavior is that I don’t have a relationship with my dog and that’s why he now also gives off bad vibes to other dogs. I feel defeated because I can’t find a serious trainer and doing it on my own… well, any kind of progress we make is completely forgotten the next day and we’re back to square one.

[@StratRider]

These videos never cease to impress me. Hoping to get my dogs trained this well.

The owner is making me anxious just watching her talk and handle Ruby 🙈 so sweet, dog and owner. Really lovely to watch Tom try and guide them gradually both to calmness... Definitely a high revving doggy. But also a high revving owner! They're meant for each other 😂 but harness that productively and it good be a beautiful long term relationship! Yeesh you also can't OVER praise that dog. Love how every dog is so different in sensitivity. Would love to see this pair now! Tom give updates on previous clients in the future! A compilation of before and afters!!!

[@eisacurran9829]

I loved how ruby just decided it was nap time!! How much she relaxed and was like yeah this is life

[@karherineware3508]

It's so nice to see owners willing to acknowledge and work through their own challenges. I don't mean that in any negative way! Tom has a very kind and compassionate way of helping people learn things they didn't know or understand before. It's beautiful to watch! Everyone comes out a winner....owner, dog, and Tom!💖

[@debbiedonlon928]

Thanks, Jessica

[@helipahkamaki9547]

Oh Tom, I feel a little like blessed that I have found your lessons of dog handling. I have a wonderful dog, but she's very reactive on walks, everything catches her attention and this video really woke me up! Your way of teaching things is telling the owners every side of the problems so that nothing is left unsolved and I love it! Thank you from both of us!

[@lenagoodwin8223]

I love seeing not only your skill training dogs but your amazing ability to break down the subtleties of your methods and communicate things in such a clearly understandable way.

Great video again Tom & editor.. Wish I was still in the 518 to get session with my pup..a little reactive at times but we are working on it. Downtown with tons of people/dogs, or at the dog park..completely fine ignores people..gets pets. Walking down a single quiet street and sees one person and the barking starts. We will get there! Keep up the good work

[@laurajoli576]

This is almost exactly what my dog acts like. I’ve learned so much!

[@RaeM.C83]

I feel like we all have already won!!! Thank you Tom, you have helped me with my half huskie-half Labrador. She gets sketchy with anyone she doesn't recognize. We've had her since she has been 5 weeks. We weren't aware that she was not near weaning yet, then my elderly Staffy freaked out in the car with us all one time, every since Luna has been super nervous and creepy to people. I don't know that she won't bite someone, the unpredictable aspect scares me alot. I could never allow my animals to bully and scare my friends and guests. I do prefer her to stay protective, I'm just needing to improve my skills and her focus on me, then she will pick up on my energy more I hope and she'll recognize the routine. She is very smart and we adore her, so if she were to hurt someone she's doomed. I can't let such an amazing dog suffer because I selfishly thought she was pretty and didn't study her needs first.

[@victoriae5328]

I feel like I'm learning more from these videos then I ever would from google and the other trainers I have met and seen with Teresa's poodle

[@katerinastolova1629]

the owner and the dog have such similar energy 😆

[@birdlady2725]

Ruby is adorable! I didnt hear owner say 'Leave It' when Ruby would start to fixate. I know I dont see the whole picture either. She looks nervous too (as I know I would be, knowing cameras and other people watching...). The transformation in both of them, is amazing to watch. Good on the owner on not giving up 😊

[@deborahherendeen2216]

I have a 100 pound husky-german shepherd that is 23 months. He is so stubborn, I take him on a walk and he drags me from one place to smell to the next place to smell. He took off after a cat. I picked myself up out of the street with road rash on my face and a broken finger. I have 2 families who will not come over even though he is in the kennel. He barks and acts like he would bite if he could get close. I usually have to have him boarded if family come into town. I paid hundreds to get him trained, but he still drags me all over and I can't control him he is 100 pounds and walking him is not enjoyable at all. I am 69, and will not get rid of him, I need him to be respectful of me and trained so I don't have to fear for my safety, or that of my family. You work so well with dogs, I am in Utah I wish my dog Scout could spend time with you.

[@karasmom3538]

My GSD has been terrible at pulling. My next door neighbor, who likes to take her for walks. At one point, he told me the dog was hurting his shoulder and he’d have to stop. I wasn’t walking her because she was pulling me over. This was all with a martingale. So I got a simple collar (looks like a buckle collar) with prongs - not the standard martingale type like you use. Only pressure comes when she pulls. No more complaints from my neighbor and I can easily walk her with no pulling. The links are black and disappear in her fur, so no fear of people thinking we are being cruel. The dog is overjoyed to see the collar,, so we are all happy. She has both the neighbor and me walking her.

[@kdb3483]

This is me and my dog. I’ve Learned so much from you and it’s helped me a lot. My biggest struggle is to be calm walking her. 😔

She has a good-looking dog. I've been watching your videos for so long that I could see what she was doing to cause her dog to not be sure what his job was so he was doing what he thought needed to be done.

[@Amy-ms6wj]

I really like this owner. She seems really self aware, and like she'd be a gem to work with. She doesn't seem anxious to me at all. I have horrible anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I can see anxiety in a lot of other people...I don't see too much of it in her. She seems really nice, and willing to learn and apply. Not too many owners/people out there like that anymore. I don't see how you can do it. I'm a groomer, and I hate the amount of time I have to deal with owners as it is...I couldn't deal with owners as much as you do. Yikes. But I'm sure you like people more than I do. 🙃❤️
