THIS IS WHY DOGS DON'T LISTEN!

[@karherineware3508]

I found it difficult to understand what this owner really wanted from the dog. No wonder the dog got away with so much stuff. In the end, I think he finally figured it out. You really had to persevere with these owners. Good job, Tom, I think you finally got through to them!

[@bjbumblebee5324]

The man clearly loves his dog but like many people they anthropomorphize (project) their own feelings about being corrected as a child. Firm but fair communication. When the dog sulks he is just realizing there are boundaries so you give the dog something better than getting their way. Limits then Praise

[@joyfulk9services]

For sure. I like the what he called "sulking"....it's actually more like learned helplessness, which can be an excellent way of knowing that your correction had the desired effect. Much like when a child has that slight fear of losing their iPad or something of value if they do something naughty. It's not "sulking" in a negative way...we don't go "aweeee that's so sad...." when a child gets told off for writing with permanent marker on the walls...that's the response you want! As long as it's followed up with showing the desired behaviour instead and positive rewards than it is exactly what balanced training represents. 👌

[@entendresquared4314]

You nailed it. The dog got it right away but the owner didn’t really like the dog obeying and being submissive. Once again, the owner is the barrier to good behavior. He needs to develop a backbone and appreciate that he really has a very good dog but mixed messages have created the bad behavior. Firm, fair and consistent structure will make a better environment for all.

[@EthanMckennaMusic]

Oh so you're the expert here

[@soojincho2829]

For real. I saw a behaviorist on social media that would sob about a dog being corrected appropriately because it triggered her and her experience in a very abusive relationship. But is now trying to spread the message that to correct a dog after you've built a relationship is abusive especially if it's followed by praising or "reconciliation" as she put it. And by doing this yours chipping away at the relationship with the dog and yeah.....it was very frustrating to watch. The comments section was equally crazy as well saying corrections are a thing of the past and punishment followed by praise is abuse.

[@hazardmuffin]

Some owners don’t even know what they actually want from their dogs. This guy doesn’t want excited jumping, but when the dog is calm and keeps his paws on the ground, he’s “mush.” And the woman who gave into his barking when he wanted his food and is like “how is he supposed to tell me he wants something?” Like…that’s up you you, ma’am. You can teach a dog how to give you signals, like say, ringing a bell to go out to potty. For food though, I think that should be a a firm “you’ll get it when I say you get it.” Your dog doesn’t get to demand things. Once I put my dog’s food down for her, but was lost in thought and totally spaced giving her the okay to eat. Five minutes later I look over and see her still just sitting there patiently watching me, food untouched. I felt bad about accidentally “making her wait” but it didn’t harm her any!

[@reallydee8199]

[@rhegafd]

I know this is going to sound mean but Ive never been so frustrated w a dog owner. Hes always jumping on people, "Down" - Tom, "look hes mush, I dont want him to be mush" - owner. How can a dog be successful when the expectation is moved constantly? Its impossible.

[@denamartin3635]

That’s been my biggest frustration as a trainer,,, getting people to understand that just because you correct your dog doesn’t mean you’ve broken his spirit or that he’ll hate you. AND, if you do not practice, they will not learn / retain the command / behavior.

[@Cathan1856]

[@emilka2033]

You have to hold your dog accountable if you want them to have good habits and behave well - consistency is key! The owner in this video was too caught up in how he thought his dog _might be feeling_ to realize he was sabotaging his dog's good behavior. It took very little correcting for this dog to understand what was expected of him. Anthropomorphizing our animals facilitates unhealthy pet-human relationships and problem behavior. This dog will be much happier in a world with clear boundaries and communication.

[@jennyoreilly5980]

Hi from Australia. An observation on dog owners in regard to holding the leash. As when riding a horse, the reins are to be lightest connection to the mouth of the horse. I see so many of your clients that will not let the leash loose, it's like they want to steer and guide all the time. Love your work and patience.

[@rocco2451]

Hi! You’re totally right. Having constant pressure on the leash is not good. Let me explain it from a dog owners view. I got lucky with my first dog and she literally trained herself. When I got my second dog,oh boy, was I not prepared. She ended up being a very reactive and eventually aggressive dog. Being naive of this behavior and not knowing what else to do, I would wrap that leash around my hand a million times and hold on for dear life expecting a catastrophe around every corner. Unfortunately, it happened more and more often. By the time I decided I had to do something or something bad was going to happen I was already trained to expect something bad. It was the hardest thing for me to relax. Eventually I did and I trained my dog. Now I help other people with their reactive dogs. I have to say, that having been through my own experience has made me more empathetic when people do that. I try to make them understand that they are in a controlled environment and eventually they do relax. It takes a few reps of their dog not reacting “like they usually do” before people can loosen up. Keep in mind that these are usually adult dogs that already have “problem” (even if it’s not reactive but just unwanted) behaviors. Hope that helps explain it! 🍀

[@yagovila7052]

For Christ sake!, Why do some people have so many trouble to understand that positive reinforcement and positive punishment are two sides of a coin, they balance each other out, don't exclude each other. A punishment, proportionate to the seriousness of the bad behavior, is a means of giving valuable information. People still have the misconception that punishment equals abuse, as long as this idea doesn't change it always will be bad behaved and uncontrollable dogs. The punishment is a way to inform the dog has done something unacceptable, and that can't be conceived through positive reinforcement. I don't care how many "scientific" studies and research say otherwise, anyone who has ever handled difficult dogs knows this, different is if they say it open and honestly.

[@vickireynolds4055]

@Yago Vila, I agree. At 61,I found my self the proud owner of a GSD mix, a larger dog than I had ever had. I had to change the way I did things. I discovered Upstate and agree with the philosophy. If you don't correct the negative behavior, it won't go away! You don't have to beat it, or electrocute it out of your dog to get your point across! I like the choice of vibrating stimulation or buzz with the collar he uses. I've only had to use the actual buzz on my dog three times, the vibrate maybe 15, depending on what and where we were working.

[@nicothenatural]

I think the word punishment is very off-putting for folks. A correction is not punishment, it's clear communication that specific behavior is not acceptable.

[@yagovila7052]

@@nicothenatural you can call it as you please, but the concept is the same. You can apply a harsh or severe correction, and trust me sometimes is necessary to do it, and you could be applying a punishment. To me a punishment is a correction that had to be taken up a notch because the dog refused to listen and should never be applied out of frustration or anger but only aiming to convey to the dog the idea that it must listen for its own good because not doing it may be fatal for him, he could be run over, attacked by other dog, bit by a snake or whatnot. But nowadays everything must be politically correct and everyone has to disguise their true feelings and thoughts with euphemisms, otherwise we risk to be publicly scolded and criticized.

I had a wolfdog come in with a serious bite history. Went for me as they took him out of the car. I got them to replace his harness with a slip and put a muzzle on, took the dog and corrected, said ‘down’ and he went straight down and never did it again, to anyone. They were surrendering as after working with a behaviourist they were told to pts. I was his last chance. I asked them, after the down, have you ever told him ‘no’…they looked at me blankly and shook their heads. So this protective and territorial, what turned out to be lovely intelligent dog, was sentenced to death because no one ever told him what was unacceptable. I worked with him for a time, then rehomed with a lovely couple where he lived until he passed away last year, with no incidents whatsoever. People like this drive me nuts.

[@joyfulk9services]

So common with 80% of my clients. Consistency, clear communication, and that follow through are absolutely imperative to set the dogs and humans up for success. Also not getting complacent with adolescent dogs! I must have this conversation at least 3 or 4 times a week where people say that their dog "knows" the word off or no, but sometimes just doesn't listen and barks or jumps anyways. Clearly whatever the unwanted behavior that they are doing is more reinforcing than what the human has to alternatively offer. Then I come to find out that since they were 8 weeks old they used those words and commands all the time however, they have never done it, or rarely done it enforcing their cue with the leash or some kind of positive punishment 😆. So ultimately, it is so inevitable that the dog holds no value in those verbal commands. The same thing can happen with positive reinforcement as well. I have seen many dogs tune owners out as well when they do not always follow up their "yes'' or their verbal with some sort of reward. It definitely works both ways. Totally agree. Sharing this video with my clients because you're excellent at compressing important information in a short amount of time in a way every human can understand, with patience and mindfulness, but just blunt enough to get the humans to admit it's their doing...the dogs don't become demanding or non-compliant all on their own! They gravitate to what is most reinforcing, or what has been allowed to be rehearsed over and over without any accountability. As you preach, NOBADDOGS 😉

[@HZ-fg9sf]

"The issue is that he jumps but I like that" was already confusing and convulted so no wonder his dog had no idea what his owner wanted Glad it seems like the owner caught on at the end. The mother there was definitely an enabler of bad behavior too by rewarding the bad behavior. Hopefully they figure out how to be more consistent with their messaging.

I know we all love our pets that are like family but I can’t stand people who are toooooo soft and baby them. I know for a lot of people it’s hard for them to be firm when it comes to boundaries and obedience but it’s so so important. Quick story, my sister and I train her Great Dane as a puppy and we both are very different when it comes to training. For this example, she is like the guy in this video and I was more like Tom and I would explain to my sister that we can’t let her get what she wants because she’s gonna be a giant and we need to keep her in control. But as we train her she would get confused like in this video because there are 2 different people telling her what to do. It was very frustrating but in the end I stopped helping my sister train her pup because she didn’t want to follow or consider why this and that is important. I know I shouldn’t have stopped training her pup but I didn’t want to put the pup in between our disagreements so I decided to just let it go. This is a perfect example why we need puppy classes or any training to benefit our pups! Every video in this channel has so much knowledge even if it’s a 10 min video.

I was so opposed to electric collars...but I went and got one out of pure desperation, and it turned out to be the one thing that worked and it turned my whole life around. Ty, Pet Safe for making barking collars that allow the dog to learn with variable stim levels that increase as the dog continues to ignore and then resets to the lowest setting after the dog listens. An e collar that automatically does the same thing would allow trainers to not have to vary levels and may be a game changer for some dogs.

[@75Shannie]

It’s honestly hard to listen to this dude. I feel like Tom is being very clear on what needs to happen and he just isn’t paying attention or chooses not to listen and expects his dog to be immediately fixed by Tom when they leave. I think he’s assuming that the dog needs to be fixed and he’s doing everything right just because he’s sweet on his dog. Some people just don’t understand that every dog is capable of being obedient and that the owner is actually the one who needs to be trained before the dog can be trained.

Truthfully. Either teach the dog and "toughen them up" to realize its not harsh punishment, just a correction. Great.

She will put her nose and body weight into US, go between our legs as we're walking cutting us off on the steps, or mid walking in general, using her snout to push us out of the way and combination, as if to say move or it get out of my way!whatever it takes try and get what she wants I always use the word rude we did it with her past dog and it worked wonders and she was a rescue never been with a family raised in a puppy mill and still have way more manners and learned extremely fast with the training I gave her 🤔the more I try to stopoir current puppy's behaviors the more she's unaccepting of it😢I didn't even allow it to get to this until I did and I'm not sure what I did wrong😢 I don't want to mess her up any further and I don't know what to do I've been consistent with verbal communications, body gestures(to limit me talking to much) hand q's etc she's just not having it, none of it! She's also not allowed on the couch because she digs between the stitched up cushions when there's nothing there. Their is no where for anything to even go in the first place. it's a thing she does right in front of us too she doesn't do it when we're out 🤔 but it's conveniently around 7:00 the same time she starts getting a second wind and it's time for us to relax so..my fear is that she will start and then begin to rip our sofa apart so we don't want her on the couch but she does it anyway I've literally had to stand on the sofa to make myself bigger than her and she's only 5 months old.we got her at 6 weeks she is always been this stubborn ALWAYS. I keep chalking it up to it's the Husky and her because she is identical to every single dog I've seen on the internet with extra sauce all the typical behaviors Etc since, 6 weeks old. For a high energy family and I thought for sure she'd be a great fit but if I can't find help for her I don't want to make her worse. She's an amazing dog but on a totally different level than any me or anyone I know. Words can't even describe and I've described a lot I've tried to take videos to seek more help but there's no dog trainer in my area that would be worth paying that amount of money too because I know they're not good enough so here I am talking to you and hoping fingers crossed

Training was going great with my dog, when all of a sudden he began ignoring everything we told him to do. I finally figured out it was because he would intentionally sit in the middle of doorways, and I would walk around him. I was unintentionally telling him that he was in charge, and he could boss me around. After this realization, whenever he was in my way I would gently move him with my foot, while telling him to "move." It didn't take long before he began listening again, and even now, 3 years later he still gets out of my way when I'm walking.

Do you have a video on how to train a dog not to bark at people or animals that they see and to keep them from barking to get their owners attention? My dog barks for these reasons inside and outside the house and I don't know how to stop this behavior.

Same

That lad is dying for an argument... not listening knows better

Hey Tom, all I can say is No bad Dogs. Keep up the good work.

[@midxclappers4888]

Hey Tom! Your work is amazing! You do a magnificent job at educating the community. Have you ever tried a “behavioral down?”, usually used for anxious or “excitable dogs”. I’ve recently learned what this technique is but haven’t seen it used in any current videos.

[@kennedyadams7159]

This was difficult to watch. Bless you for your patience and skill set. I am much too direct with my owners because of refusal to continue to repeat myself. Higher functioning/comprehension from my client base ……pleeeezzzze. Sigh….

[@cindysmith8747]

Tom, when you were working with your dog on this video Roxy watched! She NEVER watches the TV!

[@luisguilherme6986]

Beatiful dog you got there, Tom. Whats its breed?

[@robynbarcomb8031]

Something I think a lot of people misunderstand, is barking. Barking is not a form of communication between dogs. Feral dogs and wild species seldom bark. Humans bred them to bark, as a way to communicate and alert people. So he's not barking AT the other dog. He's barking FOR you to alert you to the other dog and his desires. My dog isn't a huge barker, so when he does, I know it's an actual alert. Either to something unusual in the surroundings, or a truly urgent need. I replaced a good portion of it (as well as pawing me) with licking me lightly to get my attention, then doing a down. Much like a detection dog. I can then ask him what his need is (helps that he will then go bring me empty food or water bowls, toys, or my shoe if he needs to go out).

What about training a dog that constantly whines & doesn’t listen? Or any tips for training a dog with anxiety?

[@adlattin]

I have a dog that is great at loose lease walking and easily trained, but is a little agreesive with new people and larger dominant dogs.

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

They have such a good dog lol. He's clearly very receptive to learning. People amaze me. Any problem that dog displays is directly their fault.

[@mdot1955]

Gosh wish you were here. I’m 66 got a standard poodle she’s 12 weeks now. and she is hell on wheels. Jumping she has tore my house up. Will not pee or poop outside in the grass I can not mop or sweep without her attacking the mop or broom.

[@ToulaK81]

Would anyone happen to be able to tell what kind of leash that is? Is it a slip lead? Thank you so much
