I work w dogs in a Humane Society ... most our dogs would not be here if the owners knew a tenth of the stuff in this vid. Best.

[@jessicabradshaw3365]

Bobandjeri Shaffer You are a hero! Truly appreciate your kindness and time for those dogs👍 We’ve always had rescue animals or strays and they are the BEST animals ( and usually a little bit of a project but the rewards are totally worth it ❤️💫)

[@joannekirkwood496]

Exactly. I volunteer at our local humane society to walk dogs. Most of them have had no structure or leadership. I want to help make these dogs better canine citizens but it sure is tough in this environment. Any suggestions for someone in my shoes ( limit of 15 min per dog, loud shelter , limited resources...)?

@@joannekirkwood496 They don't need a leader, they need positive associations with things they are afraid of and good bonds with people.

[@arneb3818]

The main issue for dog owners is time and effort. They may have had dogs before, but they have busy lives or feel they don’t need to make the effort.

[@saturniiiidae]

@@sparra8519 - well in a way you are a leader, as in you show them the right things to do. Not leader in a controlling way, leader in kind of like a companion way. I don’t know if I’m making any sense it’s hard to put into words what I’m thinking in my head haha :)

There’s no better dog training channel on KZbin than yours • 10 out of 10 •

[@Makado14]

I think that it's hilarious when the dog jumps on Tom, he looks so offended. He definitely wasn't expecting that. 🤣

[@danielasaldivar8260]

i came across this video seeking advice on how to better my relationship with my german shepherd and i am now realizing he is such a good boy. I make him sit on his cot while i fill his bowl with food and even leave his sight in order to get the water but he will not leave his cot until i say go or let’s go and he stares at me and waits for permission. He just recently learned how to stay seated even when the cot isn’t present. He’s a little over a year. This video actually made me realize that i’m being too harsh on myself. I want him to be a great dog but i also need to enjoy him while he’s still a crazy pup!

[@ChrisGalleta80]

Our human expectations, our doubts, our bad feelings, our emotions make them do bad like they do if there is no correct structure for the relationship. I always say to my clients "drop any expectations", "be patient", and "don't be too harsh on yourself and therefore for your dog" 😉 and most important "don't try to over control the dog, show him a different way to behave" Tom, as always on point... 😉

[@Makado14]

Good puppy! You are definitely laying a good foundation, but I would start him in basic obedience asap, because 1) he is very willing to please, and 2) there's no telling how far you can go with a gsd like yours. Wish mine weren't so hard headed. 😁

[@judyweikumbenson199]

It seems that teaching my dog to sit, and to stay sitting, is a very important behavior that needs to be done before teaching other behaviors.

[@Makado14]

I agree with you, it's also probably the easiest command to teach a puppy.

[@raistek]

Bad part is people usually think that this is just irritating a dog and being mean to him. Showing the food and taking it away etc. People started treating dogs like humans lately which is just not a good thing.

[@lindaandrews9245]

Rules and boundaries, consistency with follow through. Firm, fair and fun. Doesn't matter what you are training it stays the same.

[@wildwings08]

Tom I found your channel out of necessity and I am so thankful for the work you're doing! I have had dogs all my life, learned how to train dogs many moons ago and have had very good results until recently with my rescue Blue healer/ Puerto Rican street dog mix. I'm grateful for your level of dog awareness, demonstration, instruction and will be looking to your videos for more guidance to help. Gracias!

Lakota is Dutch Shepherd I believe. And she’s amazing 😊

Very well explained and easy to follow. I've been watching your videos for several month now and really like your methods. Thank you for offering them for free. I've learned so much.

[@patriziagugliotta635]

This is really helpful for a couple of dogs that I have in training... I applied your advice and was working very well. You are the best Thomas... You can’t believe how much you help me out to do the right things while training and understand what the dog feeling. Thank you so much

[@gabriellameattray9778]

My notes: 1. (Going inside) put dog in sit. Carefully swing open door and praise if she stays. Do it about 3 times and reward/praise if they stay. 2. Use release command like "break." To let them know they can go inside or come out of the sit 3. When finished training with dog, then use release command (Steps: swing open door, if she stays, praise, then say break to get her out of sit

[@bertarmington]

Glad I discovered Tom and these videos; a great help with my new rescue.

[@cheval90]

I have become more structured with my anxiety pup and I'm using place, break and better in communication. She has come along way. So thank you. It is helping me as I train and assess client's dog behavioral issues. So thank again awesome videos.

[@emdueck6250]

Lakota looks like a malinois to me! She's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for the videos. They've really helped me with my anxious dog. He used to bite hard enough to leave welts - not out of maliciousness, just anxious and a herding breed

[@v.asparuhova3013]

Love it! Everything you do! Your podcast is also AMAZING! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Whywondermous]

Thanks so much for this! We adopted two puppies nine years ago, and it's been a while since we had to think about these fundamentals in a structured way. We lost one of our dogs to cancer last year. It was incredibly difficult and unspeakable beautiful to have all the love we shared and trust we built together in her final moments. We recently decided to adopt a new dog and this has been such a helpful reminder and refresher.

[@denisecairns3345]

You make so much sense...thank you for putting out these educational videos...for me...my dog thanks you too for educating his human!

[@junenakada7330]

I’m definitely going to try this with my new 10 year old dog I just adopted. Thank you Tom!😊

[@juliebabb3365]

Really enjoying your videos. Your training style makes sense to me. Our 9 mos old English Springer is fairly well behaved at home but highly excitable to new stimulus. Your techniques will are just what we need to help her control herself.

[@denamartin3635]

So simple, so easy. But as you said, "we" have to practice it and be consistent~. Thanks Tom!!

[@benburns5995]

Great video, Tom. It is helpful that you always demonstrate the proper method of training. In the video you can see Beacon looking straight at you and being focused.

[@justinmarshall6001]

[@sekb1975]

It doesn't take long to teach this either. Its a great tool for the winter when you're headed out the front door and there's ice and snow on your front steps. Last thing you want is to be pulled down those steps. Thank you Tom!

[@kairu_aname]

Or like my mom used to do with big dogs and let them go first out the door on ice. They went out the door max speed and slid into the vehicle outside lol. They weren't hurt, just a light bonk.

[@bettykirk6670]

Great video, Tom, as always!!! Keep the instruction coming.

[@JoeSaavedra]

Your point about not using treats as rewards is so right on. Other trainers on yt constantly are treating and there's no question your method is more sustainable and relationship building focused. Very nice.

[@christophergoodlad9924]

Dear Thomas, I am in School for my Dog Trainer exam in Germany. I really love your connection to dogs! It’s really inspiring especially since I study Canine, it’s history and behavior! I can feel your „Aura“ and „charisma“ you send to the dog passiv.. I hope you know what I mean with this, doesn’t know the proper explanation for the word in English. Also it’s great for me to see the different body languages of the dogs! Honestly it’s pretty tough to find a trainer, who is dealing with this kind of dogs in my surrounding. Thank you for letting me learn from you good sir! Wish you success in what ever level.

[@BeccaBuckLebowski]

Viel Erfolg! =)

[@AimeeSalter]

I think Lakota is a Dutch Shepherd. Thanks for all your tips. I’ve started leash work (heel, auto sit, and “on me”) with my mostly obedient Yorkiepoo and he’s loving it. The BREAK! tip is especially useful. I can see how it releases his tension and keeps him focused longer. He’s a smart dog and learns fast and now I feel like I know HOW to train him. Thank you for making this content free!

[@tomdavisofficial]

[@tindepapp]

I am learning with your videos. Thank you. I think that this looks like parenting, I have 3 grown up sons, and believe me when you put your trust, and teach them to behave it is so easier. But it is hard work , many decision, but it pays back, so I have two puppies (kuvasz) and here I go again. Learning new things. ☺

OMG....I have been feeding my dog (a Rottweiler) like this from day one 😆 take the bowl to his food mat, have him sit, put the bowl down, have him look at me (not the food) and he can’t eat until I say go ahead. Teaching “leave it” helps so much for so many things!!!!

[@zeeraxa9671]

Does it makes a difference if a dog looks at you or the food if he still waits for your command to eat , coz my dog is focused on food but wait for my command ,just curious

I think I heard you say once that Lakota is a Dutch Shepherd? Made me a little proud as a Dutchman. ;) My dogwalker is struggling with pulling on a leach with my Amstaff of 8 months. He wasnt pulling earlier but is starting now. I know beeing a puller is kind of in his breed.. I think the 'sit at the door' might be good for a good walk? He isnt bolting out normally... With me at least.. thanks for all your amazing video's.

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Its not about a;pha. Its about good mannors. It makes life easier. And opens up opportunites for the dog to experience, that if he had bad mannors, he would not be able to enjoy. As a dog gets older, its second hand. Its just a way of life. ANd the dog knows when he can make his own decision, and when he needs to defer to the human. I really like your methods.
