@@danielmaxter1928 i do sincerely hope you know that is NOT true and there are studies to prove this fact... A high quality ecollar used on low settings as shown here and trained properly does NOT cause any neurological issues. Sure, get a cheap pos online, turn it up and shock the crap out of your dog 🙄 that will cause issues... But yeah, no ethical trainer does that. If you want to believe that fine 🤷🏼♀️ but- truly do your own research prior to believing any trainer on RUclips.
@@danielmaxter1928 All Ecollars are not created equal, I literally put my collar on my face and test it before i put it on the dog. It in no way hurts my dog. You don't know what you're talking about.
This is probably the first time the owner took responsibility for the dogs behavior. How insanely refreshing. Good on her! You can tell by her acknowledgment that shes a big part of the issue that she will likely be successful in fixing it. They will hopefully fix this and live happy lives!! Another great Tom video! You are doing gods work sir!
@@LifeofKenneth92 Thats great news! Im only interested in the dog and owner to be successful. There have been a bunch of videos where it seems like the owners are oblivious that their actions or lack of actions are a big contributor to why their dog behaves the way it does.
This is probably one of the best videos yet. Not only does it help explain some of the potential reasons this dog (and others) can become reactive, but also gives us the tools to notice when a dog is building, and the little pause of the video and showing the owner gave a glimpse into when the perfect moment to correct the behavior. And with diligence, we can see the transformation of the dog even within the span of a few minutes/days. Absolutely fantastic work.
I love that you called it her “bratty bark” 😆. That’s exactly what my GSD does when she’s mad about being put outside when people are over and I need her out of the way temporarily. Oh she hates that!
I so appreciate the slow mo of the build. Not just walking the owner through the process, but you kept the viewer in mind of the break down of the dogs body language, and able to show when a correction should be made. In real life, it seems to happen so fast. But to the trained eye, you see the build in the body. Thank you for perfecting your videos more and more. Evolving teaching moments. 🙌🐾
I absolutely love that she even has that much control over that mix of breed with that high squirlly energy WITHOUT knowing how to deal with it fully. She is one of my favorite owners I have witnessed on this channel
Having this channel at my disposal made me a better dog handler!I'm from Newfoundland Canada and watched all of ur videos,I had dogs in my life from a toddler and I now confidently own a Standard Australian Shepherd that's my whole world! Thank-you for sharing your knowledge and understanding with the world!
I have a 5 month old German shepherd who never knew any correction before, so she’s a handful to say the least. She tries to test her boundaries with me 24/7. This video is a good base for me to start and I have to remember it takes baby steps and consistency for long term results. Thanks for the great video! 🐕
@@gittabg0 sorry wrong form of wording. I don’t believe in bad corrections like hitting or yelling or what not . Never have never will. If that’s what you meant. 🙂
@@ashleyrobinson6780 I think what they were saying is that you shouldn’t focus on correcting bad behaviour yet. Focus on establishing correct basic behaviour since it is a young dog.
I literally have the male version of this dog! He even looks exactly like her! He’s 15 now, and boy oh boy did I have a big lesson on pushy, bossy, mouthy dogs who redirect on the handler! We did years of training to keep him busy. He’s done obedience, agility, article search, SAR, and patrolled our property for predators like coyotes. Turned out to be a great dog, but definitely not for an inexperienced handler or one who wasn’t willing to put in the work. He’s a solid dog now and we used these exact methods. He’s still a little bit of a cracker dog, in terms of handling his feet or trimming his nails, but at 15 you can’t really fault him as I think his feet are arthritic. I love these types of dogs. This one turned out to be so much work but in the end, one of the best things in our life. He Saved our home from burning down (woke us up in middle of the night to a fire in our garage from a charging battery that exploded), kept my husky safe from predators on walks and kept her from running off. He’s still my partner even though he’s retired. I love him to pieces but oh my goodness those first two years were a struggle for me. I learned so much from a dog like this.
Wow! 15 yrs . is amazing for a GSD.. but still much too short...The oldest I've had lived to be 14.....Cesar Milan has said many times.. we dont always get the dog we want , we get the dog we NEED!! 😊
Bless you for putting in the work..and loving him...Like Cesar Milan said, we don't always get the dog we 'want" we get the dog we need !!! We need to be willing and open,to see that tho..and learn from them...not just give up and just get another one!! Kudos to you for hanging in there !!!! 15 is an amazingly long life too !!! What you learned from him will enable you to help many more dogs !!!
This kind of reactivity is the biggest issue I have with my dog. This video was so much help! Thank you for the work you do, you're truly changing the dog world for the better.
Dog owners need to accept that some levels of stress are healthy. I genuinely don't understand why some people would prefer to keep a dog who's engaging in dangerous behavior rather than just get to the root of the issue solely for the sake of their so called "ethics". I would argue it's actually unethical to allow a dog to live a restricted life, upset themselves to the point of reacting and put other dogs/people in harms way.
you mean the purely positive trainers? they've had a go at me for saying that some dogs need to hear a psst or a tsk and slight pop to the collar, then a time out on repeat for aggression etc, saying they need love and understanding.. but these dogs attack, then bite their owner and get put down! And they cant deal with them.
@@lisetteem588 I’ve got a friend who’s dog jumps on everyone. When it jumps up on me I give him a knee to the chest and tell him no. I’m the only person he doesn’t jump on now…. Go figure
Awesome how you taught this owner to read her dog, and to recognize for herself when she had timing issues. Timing is everthing, but the video of the training lets the owner SEE it. Such an awesome use of technology to teach both owner and dog.
I feel this is your best type of content. I know lately you've tried putting different things, but here we can see what you do, how you do it, how you help others and walk them through the process, how the client understands the process. It's excellent. That's why I subbed in the first place. Thank you.
One of the things I notice is that so many people are timid! This isn't a bad thing, I think it's how people themselves have been conditioned to be (especially women.) If only people knew to stand in your power, speak with power and don't let the dog push you around! Say no, make the dog wait, and don't ever give a command or correction without follow through. Calm and assertive is the way to be. Assertiveness is such a valuable tool for all walks of life, and only improves the lives of the dogs in your care! They can relax when they know you have things handled.
Love the breakdown that you did for the owner with the clip you took on the phone! Super helpful to her and everyone who’s learning accurately timed corrections!
The BEST part was when Tom slowed things down and showed exactly when the dog was building and therefore when the leave it command should have been given. VERY informative
This video is a great video of what happens when one train force free, 100% positive, oh love the dog, no corrections. You get a dog that does whatever, and 8-'14 months old you have massive issues on your hands. The higher drive the dog has, the greater issues. This is great to watch, well communicated and it is very nice seeing another brainwashed 100% positive handler coming over to the balanced side! Enjoy your lovely dog, such a good temperament.
The instant replay of the dog building was fantastic! It allowed the owner to see why the dog became reactive and it will allow anyone watching this to see it as well. Great vid Tom!
Filming the owner so that they can see immediately what they did (or did not do) looks to be very helpful. Juxt telling them doesn't seem to work for most. Visual vs verbal. Great work. Brilliant how you are constantly evolving.
I got a black lab german shepherd mix 4 years old. They were going to kill him. The beginning of May I got him he reacted to anything that moved on our walks. I have watched almost ALL of your videos and now today I got him to walk past another dog on the other side of the street with minimal reaction. I was so happy!! Thank you for posting all of these videos! If I can do it anyone can!
Awesome video as always. I've spent decades watching my dogs body language and working from that. It never ceases to amaze me how many dog owners walk along - maybe on the phone or drinking a coffee - with their dogs off lead who are heading straight to my dogs (on leads) giving them evils from 100 yards away! The owners are completely oblivious but I can see that I need to detour or there will be trouble by the time they reach us. It happens time after time. One dog we see often approaches us really slowly, bearing its teeth, hunched really low, laser-eye staring evils at my dog, growling and stalking straight at us and the owner is always just in la-la land! We just have to avoid her completely now but it makes me want to shout "why is MY dog the one on the lead?!?"
Love how quickly you were able to figure out how to deescalate her behavior! So many people have the misconception that e-collars are bad/inhumane. I love that you explain how they are merely a tool to teach with and not meant as punishment ❤️
I absolutely love this video! Tom, you are so clear and well spoken on everything you tell the owner. I love how you are all about training the owner and helping her to have a better relationship with her dog. I have been taking all the information that I get from your videos and have been applying them to try and help my neighbor’s Australian Shepherd. I think everything that you show in this video and in others has been monumental in helping my neighbor to cut down on disobedience and any reactivity on the leash. They still have a long way to go, but I’m certain that if they take the practices that you show in this video and apply them, then they will find much improvement. Thanks for all of your amazing content!
It’s nice to see someone so committed to their animal, even when she had to work through some level of fear to get through the training. I think a lot of owners would have just written this dog off as dangerous and given up. Really amazing work!
That was a great video. I liked that dog alot. I also like the fact the owner was open and willing to embrace her part of the problem, and act on fixing it. You are so good at diagnosing the whole picture, and honing in on the best approach to that particular situation. Fantastic!
I can watch these videos all day! I don’t even have a dog but I love dogs and it’s just so fascinating to see the change! New sub here! Thanx for all your hard work and great content! 😃👍
The first step to recovery is admitting your faults. Oh how I applaud this woman for that! I loathe those who think the dog only needs training. But this lady, makes me think nice things about her.
I loved seeing the other white pit puppy now being able to be the example of calm around other dogs when they were originally brought in for the same type of aggression!
If you’re late, you’re now restraining and not correcting. You’re just surviving and praying at that point lol Love your stuff! I’ve been helping a few families on my dog walks because of you! Cheers from San Diego, CA!
Great video! I have a Cane Corso who is reactive to other dogs and was redirecting to me. I had never dealt with this before and it was heartbreaking until I understood what was happening. Most of and it was my fault by not knowing how to handle it. This video showed exactly what I was dealing with and it provided so much great information on how to correct the behavior. Thanks again!
Yesss more videos like this please especially in settings like this where you’re passing other dogs. This was super helpful since i also have a dog that redirects at me! ❤
Thanks for this lesson. My Std Bernedoodle is a certified Service Dog but he does fixate on certain distractions. With your tip, I watch for when he starts into the distraction and give him a quick pop. He instantly comes back to the proper walk on the leash. First walk was his best ever. Thanks. In a store I never need to correct him, he knows he’s working! 👍👍
Hey just wanted to let you know there is no suck thing as a “certified service dog”. You’re dog is either task trained to help you with a disability that effects you on a day to day basis, or it’s just a pet you bought papers for. If you are part of the people manipulated by the scam I sincerely apologize that you had your money stolen.
I love the bit with the mobile video where it got slowed to show us exactly the part where the dog started to build. Stuff like knowing the signs early on has helped massively with my boxer
My dream is to one day be a dog trainer like you, and maybe even have my own training academy. Your videos are super helpful and contain so much useful information, i just wanted to say a sincere THANK YOU, for providing all of this for free!
I wish I knew about this guy 15 yrs ago when I had my first dog sadly had to put him down due to nobody being able to help smh the way tom changes these dogs is amazing
Excellent video Tom!! Your explanations are so clear and make perfect sense. I have watched your videos from the very beginning - you have always been fantastic with dogs and your evolution as a teacher to the humans has been impressive. I loved the instant replay of the owner not correcting the dog fast enough - it was super helpful as a viewer and I’m sure even more helpful for the owner. I am a HUGE fan and so thankful for all of your content!! You have helped me immensely with my dogs.
You're my fave yt trainer seriously! You show the real stuff, you have perfect timing, you balance the line between correcting and rewarding perfectly, we see tough cases and easier ones, and what absolutely SHOCKS me is whenever a R+ Dog is on freaking meds because those trainers rather put a dog under the influence than give them corrections and a choice for their behavior. Good Work, keep it up!
I agree with almost everything….except one. My dog is currently on Prozac as well, but only for short term. He has separation anxiety and barks and whines nonstop any time I leave or am out of his sight. Doesn’t matter if I crate him or not. What the Prozac does, when used correctly, is it allows the dog to create a new habit to replace the bad habit. Once he realizes that he is safe and I will return and that anxiety goes away or lessens to the point where he isn’t acting out, then we will titrate him off of the Prozac over 2-3 weeks. I’m on all kinds of meds, and I’m in no way “under the influence”. In fact, they are what keep me clear headed and sane. I’m not saying people should drug their reactive dogs into submission. I just think certain meds can be beneficial for dogs who are experiencing intense anxiety that keeps them caught in a behavior loop.
@@TheAvandriaSeries I do agree with you, my point is that some people rather use meds than correct the dog because it's their ideology and that's just wrong. Meaning cases where the method is the issue.
@@dottysworld6317 I understand. If you don’t set a foundation in training and everything first, and just try to medicate a dog so you don’t have to do the work, then I don’t see medication doing much for long, aside from some mild sedation. I definitely don’t agree with people trying to use medication as a fix all…it doesn’t even work like that for people, why would dogs be any different? Gotta put in the work!😁👍🏼
This is my problem exactly. My girl was attacked at a young age. Since then she when she sees another dog she goes off and will not come down. I use the prong collar on her and have tried snapping it. I know I must be doing it wrong, but! I recently got the dogtra 280c TD edition... Its a miracle! She still reacts, I have it on 7 and do exactly as you've instructed with "leave it" and press it as soon as her hackles raise. It is so much better and if a dog gets to close and she goes berserk I tap the page button a couple of times and she stops and looks at me and we carry on. Thank you
what I learned from this episode: stress can be anywhere, in many kinds for these dogs. It depends on the owner on how we deal with that. Thank you Tom
This was amazing and exactly what I needed to see. My Cane Corso just turned 6 months a couple days ago and In my research I have read that that’s when they change. I definitely did not expect it to happen the following day. All of a sudden he is very reactive , protective and alert. The behavior Literally came out of no where. Can’t wait to take him out to a park and try these tips. Might even do some training in the back of a parking lot. Awesome Video and Thank you !
Bro I would love your training help with my 1 yrs old gsd. But I feel there are other dogs that need your help more. Your videos has helped us immensely. Love your approach. Keep helping and keep rocking bro.
Bro you give me RDJ vibes. You’re such a badass at this. Like I love watching the videos and I don’t even have pets. This is just what being the best at what you do looks like. 10/10 will visit if I get myself a pup😂👍🏽
I’m currently training a 5 month old Giant Schnauzer and I know it’s me that needs more training. Your videos are so very helpful!!! Thank you! I would love to be able to work with you with my girl!!
I have to agree this is one of the best videos yet. I realized my corrections are not timed properly ( Irish Wolfhound, 175#). For whatever reason this is the video that gave me the "a-ha moment". Thamks so much for all you do.
So we had our first training session based on your videos with a couple of modifications to fit my boy, and they're amazing (even though he's a 17.2 hh horse 😅)
Great video! I’ve been learning so much, and my reactive dog journey is getting better and better with each day. As soon as I am able to get an e-collar, I believe it will improve even more. Thank you for the videos, they have helped a lot. 🥰
I love it !! Your a blessing . I have delt with some of those exact problems but honestly I think lucky he picked up on I could not handle the aggression and lowered it on his own . Ceasar has pulled me to the ground and come back to me " like what happen mom ?"
This is why it's so important to cut the dog off while walking them! It makes the dog aware that they should be looking at you for cues, not the other way around. It was game changer for me and my two sister dogs. If they ever get unruly or amp each other up I cut them right off and then make them wait, as long as it takes.
Your vids are always great, but this one was AWESOME! The vid capture to show the owner where the dog needed correction and got none was absolutely PERFECT!! The need for a correction happens so fast sometimes as the handler you wonder where you went wrong...solved that problem, didn't you ❤️
We have two dogs. The first is five years old and the second is 3 years old. They got along for 2 1/2 years. One day it seems like something snapped in the younger dog. She would attack the other inside if there was food around. We stopped putting food out while both are free. Then she just started where she would attack the other whenever she saw her inside. Outside they are like the best of friends. My dog did they same thing of biting me when I separated her from our other dog. We now just have to make sure one is in a room while the other is free in the house.

That was a great video. I liked that dog alot. I also like the fact the owner was open and willing to embrace her part of the problem, and act on fixing it. You are so good at diagnosing the whole picture, and honing in on the best approach to that particular situation. Fantastic!
Love watching you work an entire Room Tom. Simply amazing.
❤️
Your facility looks like the happiest place on earth 🥰
My favorite dog trainer! Explains everything so simple for me to understand. I appreciate all the info you give out for free.
Tom is soooooo amazing with his skills, knowledge, and expertise! Wow! I love watching and learning from his videos! Bravo!!👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I can watch these videos all day! I don’t even have a dog but I love dogs and it’s just so fascinating to see the change! New sub here! Thanx for all your hard work and great content! 😃👍
The first step to recovery is admitting your faults. Oh how I applaud this woman for that! I loathe those who think the dog only needs training. But this lady, makes me think nice things about her.
I loved seeing the other white pit puppy now being able to be the example of calm around other dogs when they were originally brought in for the same type of aggression!
Amazing as usual!! Can't wait to see the full length video in the NBD Members Club!! Woohoo!!
If you’re late, you’re now restraining and not correcting. You’re just surviving and praying at that point lol Love your stuff! I’ve been helping a few families on my dog walks because of you! Cheers from San Diego, CA!
Great video! I have a Cane Corso who is reactive to other dogs and was redirecting to me. I had never dealt with this before and it was heartbreaking until I understood what was happening. Most of and it was my fault by not knowing how to handle it. This video showed exactly what I was dealing with and it provided so much great information on how to correct the behavior. Thanks again!
This gives me so much hope after a tough day with my reactive pup.
Yesss more videos like this please especially in settings like this where you’re passing other dogs. This was super helpful since i also have a dog that redirects at me! ❤
Thanks for this lesson. My Std Bernedoodle is a certified Service Dog but he does fixate on certain distractions. With your tip, I watch for when he starts into the distraction and give him a quick pop. He instantly comes back to the proper walk on the leash. First walk was his best ever. Thanks.
In a store I never need to correct him, he knows he’s working! 👍👍
Hey just wanted to let you know there is no suck thing as a “certified service dog”. You’re dog is either task trained to help you with a disability that effects you on a day to day basis, or it’s just a pet you bought papers for. If you are part of the people manipulated by the scam I sincerely apologize that you had your money stolen.
I love the bit with the mobile video where it got slowed to show us exactly the part where the dog started to build. Stuff like knowing the signs early on has helped massively with my boxer
My dream is to one day be a dog trainer like you, and maybe even have my own training academy. Your videos are super helpful and contain so much useful information, i just wanted to say a sincere THANK YOU, for providing all of this for free!
I wish I knew about this guy 15 yrs ago when I had my first dog sadly had to put him down due to nobody being able to help smh the way tom changes these dogs is amazing
Excellent video Tom!! Your explanations are so clear and make perfect sense. I have watched your videos from the very beginning - you have always been fantastic with dogs and your evolution as a teacher to the humans has been impressive. I loved the instant replay of the owner not correcting the dog fast enough - it was super helpful as a viewer and I’m sure even more helpful for the owner. I am a HUGE fan and so thankful for all of your content!! You have helped me immensely with my dogs.
Agreed on all fronts Nicole!
I have the same issues with a few of my babies and this is so very helpful, thanks so much ❤️👏🏽👏🏽
I will finish the video when I get time, but I love watching how you work hard to train these dogs!
Great video. That slo-mo replay, pointing out the details of what indicates the build was particularly helpful.
You're my fave yt trainer seriously!
You show the real stuff, you have perfect timing, you balance the line between correcting and rewarding perfectly, we see tough cases and easier ones, and what absolutely SHOCKS me is whenever a R+ Dog is on freaking meds because those trainers rather put a dog under the influence than give them corrections and a choice for their behavior.
Good Work, keep it up!
I agree with almost everything….except one.
My dog is currently on Prozac as well, but only for short term. He has separation anxiety and barks and whines nonstop any time I leave or am out of his sight. Doesn’t matter if I crate him or not.
What the Prozac does, when used correctly, is it allows the dog to create a new habit to replace the bad habit. Once he realizes that he is safe and I will return and that anxiety goes away or lessens to the point where he isn’t acting out, then we will titrate him off of the Prozac over 2-3 weeks.
I’m on all kinds of meds, and I’m in no way “under the influence”. In fact, they are what keep me clear headed and sane. I’m not saying people should drug their reactive dogs into submission. I just think certain meds can be beneficial for dogs who are experiencing intense anxiety that keeps them caught in a behavior loop.
@@TheAvandriaSeries I do agree with you, my point is that some people rather use meds than correct the dog because it's their ideology and that's just wrong. Meaning cases where the method is the issue.
@@dottysworld6317 I understand. If you don’t set a foundation in training and everything first, and just try to medicate a dog so you don’t have to do the work, then I don’t see medication doing much for long, aside from some mild sedation. I definitely don’t agree with people trying to use medication as a fix all…it doesn’t even work like that for people, why would dogs be any different? Gotta put in the work!😁👍🏼
This is my problem exactly. My girl was attacked at a young age. Since then she when she sees another dog she goes off and will not come down. I use the prong collar on her and have tried snapping it. I know I must be doing it wrong, but! I recently got the dogtra 280c TD edition... Its a miracle! She still reacts, I have it on 7 and do exactly as you've instructed with "leave it" and press it as soon as her hackles raise. It is so much better and if a dog gets to close and she goes berserk I tap the page button a couple of times and she stops and looks at me and we carry on. Thank you
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this beautiful dog learn to leave it instead of building around other dogs. Job well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Having similar reactivity in a boston terrier mix I've just adopted and this was incredibly helpful; thank you!
what I learned from this episode: stress can be anywhere, in many kinds for these dogs. It depends on the owner on how we deal with that. Thank you Tom
This was amazing and exactly what I needed to see. My Cane Corso just turned 6 months a couple days ago and In my research I have read that that’s when they change. I definitely did not expect it to happen the following day. All of a sudden he is very reactive , protective and alert. The behavior Literally came out of no where. Can’t wait to take him out to a park and try these tips. Might even do some training in the back of a parking lot.
Awesome Video and Thank you !
Bro I would love your training help with my 1 yrs old gsd. But I feel there are other dogs that need your help more. Your videos has helped us immensely. Love your approach. Keep helping and keep rocking bro.
Bro, I just listened to your podcast w/ the lawyer from Jersey holy crap you are patient
What happened?
🙃
Such a nice little girl! Great breakdown of the build, Tom. I love your videos!
beautiful dog
One of your best videos Tom! So much info and great demonstration of why you are an expert in your craft!
Timing and observation is key to making the dog be a member of your pack.
Looks like the beginning of an awesome adventure. Beautiful horses!
Bro you give me RDJ vibes. You’re such a badass at this. Like I love watching the videos and I don’t even have pets. This is just what being the best at what you do looks like. 10/10 will visit if I get myself a pup😂👍🏽
Same as my dog doesn’t even trip off popping leash etc love the videos to learn from thank you for posting
Amazing. The timing of intervention is cristal. Easy to say, difficult to execute.
I’m currently training a 5 month old Giant Schnauzer and I know it’s me that needs more training. Your videos are so very helpful!!! Thank you! I would love to be able to work with you with my girl!!
That was another great video with explaining how important timing is. Great job like always Tom.
I have to agree this is one of the best videos yet. I realized my corrections are not timed properly ( Irish Wolfhound, 175#). For whatever reason this is the video that gave me the "a-ha moment". Thamks so much for all you do.
Excellent video, Helps me how to explain what I know to my clients.
This was fantastic! My girl is EXACTLY like this. Reacts the same to most dogs and she's hard for me to control. Very helpful, thank you!!
Your videos have helped me so much with my reactive GSD. She is so much better. Thanks Tom!
Great training thanks for sharing
I need more! Tom you need your own show! 😊
At 1:09 the dog on the screen ran off screen and then turned into a semi out the window. Lol.
Working on catching the build also!! Very helpful to watch the slow video. Thank you !
Awesome video learned that I may be a bit late on corrections. Thanks so much
So we had our first training session based on your videos with a couple of modifications to fit my boy, and they're amazing (even though he's a 17.2 hh horse 😅)
I so relate to this owner and dog.
Great video! I’ve been learning so much, and my reactive dog journey is getting better and better with each day. As soon as I am able to get an e-collar, I believe it will improve even more. Thank you for the videos, they have helped a lot. 🥰
I love it !! Your a blessing . I have delt with some of those exact problems but honestly I think lucky he picked up on I could not handle the aggression and lowered it on his own . Ceasar has pulled me to the ground and come back to me " like what happen mom ?"
This is why it's so important to cut the dog off while walking them! It makes the dog aware that they should be looking at you for cues, not the other way around. It was game changer for me and my two sister dogs. If they ever get unruly or amp each other up I cut them right off and then make them wait, as long as it takes.
Love this video thanks Upstate Canine Academy
Your vids are always great, but this one was AWESOME! The vid capture to show the owner where the dog needed correction and got none was absolutely PERFECT!! The need for a correction happens so fast sometimes as the handler you wonder where you went wrong...solved that problem, didn't you ❤️
Great job with this pup.
Outstanding! Semper Fi
Your editor is great!
Good call
I understand completely I'm in that situation right now
Thanks for the awesome video! While watching this video, I saw that my timing is off while trying to correct my dog's reactivity. Thanks again!
Again a wonderful well explained video. Merci Tom.
Great job on this one.
I appreciate you!
We have two dogs. The first is five years old and the second is 3 years old. They got along for 2 1/2 years. One day it seems like something snapped in the younger dog. She would attack the other inside if there was food around. We stopped putting food out while both are free. Then she just started where she would attack the other whenever she saw her inside. Outside they are like the best of friends. My dog did they same thing of biting me when I separated her from our other dog. We now just have to make sure one is in a room while the other is free in the house.
Nice, you take obedience training to another level👍
Great work, Tom. Watching all your videos makes me want a dog 😂😂
Great video instruction!
