This video is everything! I’m Wilson’s owner. You have no idea how much money I’ve spent on training using treats, positive reinforcement and no discipline. I’ve always thought, “how does Wilson know that’s not ok if I keep throwing treats his way?” Tom you are amazing and you have made me super happy today! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to see his continued progress and to learn all I can to keep my boy happy!! ❤️❤️
Your Wilson is adorable and doing very well already. I also have a crazy golden but you can get them under control. I will say Tom's videos have helped me immensely. Good luck with all your future training with your beautiful golden. Oh and I meant to tell you, I was also having that treat issue. I felt it was making it worse. Using those treats sparingly has been much better.
Thanks, Beth! He's doing really well he's my buddy!
Awesome!
He’s such a beautiful pup
Wilson is a super sweet and very smart dog! He did so well and I was tickled by how quickly he caught on! Go Wilson! ❤️❤️❤️
FINALLY! An actual dog that actually pulls and not one who is already pre trained! LOVE THIS! Great job 👏
that's exactly what i thought. real trainer not afraid to show reality. fed up of watching vids of people telling me they have a terrible puller they are working with and it doesn't pull one bit.
I like the word discipline rather than punishment. Rules, boundaries, and limitations, that's what structure is.
same
I am SO glad you clarified that Wilson got exercise, stimulation and socializing in already that day! This is an issue I have about so many training videos about loose-leash walking... People will keep a Husky in an apartment for 10 hours a day and then some trainer will tell them just to use discipline with how to get the dog to walk. I don't blame the dog for being nuts in that situation!!! It's totally unfair and is the very first thing that everyone should consider, as then it's about the exercise. However, in THIS case, you've ruled it out first and you're totally right- it's about lack of understanding what the leash/walk is for, etc. A VERY important point to cover.
I agree. Btw, do you watch the dog whisper? By Ceacer Milan? You talk like him. He is a dog trainer.
Somebody was watching Cesar Milan 😂
@@cyberviking9164 was about to say the same thing :D
You have literally changed my relationship with my 8 month old German Shepherd, the first time I used the prong it was like something clicked and she “got it”. Now we can comfortably go on loose leash walks and she jumps excitedly when I pull out the prong. Thank you!!
YASSS! Thanks Chelsea!
Good human! 👍
I’ve been struggling with my 6.5 month German Sheperd too on walks. So you really recommend the prong? Does the dog need to use it everyday day? Or just in walking? Or how long? Thanks by the way.
@@AryBup I only use it on walks and it’s definitely just a training tool and not her everyday collar (she also wears a standard nylon collar with her tags). The prong comes off as soon as we’re home. I binged a ton of his videos to learn the proper technique before implementing it, which I would highly recommend so you’re comfortable giving corrections.
@@chelseawagner7414 thanks a lot for the info!
You communicate beautifully with the dog and us! Thank you for showing us there’s hope for every dog by following you! 🤗❤️
Thanks for watching Doris!
@@tomdavisofficial 🥰
The little sound effect when Wilson jumped made me laugh every time hahaha , you can see he REALLY wants to be the goodest boy just doesn't know how!
He just doesn't want to be hurt!!!
Your explanation of how you accomplish different things with the dogs you train is amazing.
wow, thank you so much Steffin
I had a dog walking company for 16 years and golden retrievers were often a huge pain in the ass bc their owners reinforced the dogs' clowniness instead of dealing with it. When keeping 6,7,8 dogs in line, it was always the retrievers that had no self control. I charged those clients more.
Just got a golden who is now 5 months old and have been training for short segments daily. Your insight is good as many dog owners build in terrible behavior by allowing their sweetness to be an excuse. I see it in many dogs in general and I feel like avoiding them/their owners. Love Tom's explanations. He's wonderful to watch.
I had a client with a golden that practically dislocated her arm to come over to greet me. The dog was ready to pull her across the road as well. I crossed the road to save her from getting hurt. People just don't get how dangerous it is to not train them correctly.
Oof that's just terrible, especially when you're expected to solve the problems they wantingly created.
I hear from a few trainers around me how they correct the bad behaviour just to get "I don't want a robot dog it's cruel" when all the trainer did was get the doggy to sit and stop jumping all over people.
The prong collar has been instrumental in training my one year old black lab rescue. Ive had her for 9 days now. She was brought as a stray to the shelter. Didnt know basic commands or how to walk on a leash. I bought a prong collar on day 3. 15 minutes into the first walk she learned her basic leash manners. She has learned sit, working on down and stay. She is getting decent at the threshold training as well. I'm struggling with her crate training, though. That's been a tough nut to crack for me. Once she learns her basic commands I will introduce the e collar. Your videos are great.
*I train service dogs for a living and this channel has become my holy grail of training solutions for the occasional quirky puppy.*
*Thank you! I know I direct frustrated owners to your channel all of the time. People love to ask questions whenever I’m doing public access training.* 😉
That safety clip! Didn’t know that existed! I need that! The prong collar fell off once and I ended up chasing her for a while. Been afraid to use it since. Thanks!
You can see it in his face the first time with a prong collar. "Well this is different."
Yez!
💯
@@tomdavisofficial hey man i am from syracuse ny i have a 9 year old pittbull i got him as a puppy 3 weeks old i fed this dog with a bottle i moved out from my familys home 2 years ago i left this dog with them because i have a 2 year old son now i cant trust this dog as much as i love him he has had a bad history with strangers and it takes along time to build a relationship with this dog if u are new i have tried everything this dog has bitten before i have him in a good position where he is monitored closely but i would really like to bring this dog home with me and my family if you could please respond i need this dog looked at he is not normal and he is my first son in my eyes
disgusting! so if you think it’s ok to use pain to train do you hit your kids as well?
@@ruthg6569 The prongs don't hurt the dog. Besides, have you paid any attention ever to how dogs correct each other? A good trainer uses a language they understand.
My Mom and Sister say it’s “mean” to use the prong collar on my dog, but yet always remark about how well-behaved and obedient she usually is when I take her to their homes. I’ve explained why I use it and how it has been a great tool but they just don’t listen; it doesn’t surprise me though as their Shih Tzus have no structure or boundaries, don’t follow commands, and are allowed to do whatever they want 24/7.
It's all about looks and ignorance. If people actually knew what a prong collar was and how it works they wouldn't think that at all period.
So many people with little dogs think they don't have to train them because they're little and cute. (Not saying your family specifically.. But it's a huge misconception about those cute little dogs)
@@brendaanliker4254 that’s so true; they will literally sit right on or under our feet when I go visit to have dinner. No boundaries
I'm watching this two years later and it's great. I hope now that it's two years later, he is not explaining why he trains how he trains.
More time showing us how to train in real time with no cut aways is awesome and helpful.
Teaching us dog owners is really valuable use of time. Explaining why you train how you train to people who only like treat training is not good use of our time nor good use of his time in 2023.
I understand trying to explain to make people know you are not trying to be cruel, but in all honesty, if they don't like his method of training, then they can just watch another video.
So I hope his videos in 2023 are just more quality training videos.
Thanks for teaching us what you know so we and our dogs can be happier.
Adopted a one year old golden and before your videos she was exactly like Wilson. The herm springer was the only tool that helped prevent the pulling. One year later no herm springer needed and she walks like a dream.
Hey Tom. Just had to comment; no matter how many times I watch your videos, I am in absolute awe of you. You never fail to teach the owners, and their dogs, just what the puppa's need. You're a serious legend. Much appreciation from Oz. :)
Boy, I needed that threshold “sit” example! My dogs rush in and out- it’s extreme chaos at the door. It is something I really need to work on but now I know how. Thank you so much! It’s going to take a lot of practice and patience, but if I can get the timing down for 3 dogs, it will be so worth it! This was an important video for me.
Thanks for watching Susan! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great show of why a "prong" collar is such a necessary training tool when used right. It drives me CRAZY when people act like using that collar is abuse
So what to use when prong collars are illegal where you live?
@@thalassophile1665 illegal? where do you live? but you can try slip collar
@@shallyscott2644 Australia.
@@thalassophile1665 definitely try a slip lead, follow the same steps as if you where using a prong. I'm in the UK where they arent illegal but highly frowned upon. I use a slip lead and follow the same steps he uses. It may be abit more difficult but it does work.
Because some pet owners don't use the prong collar correctly, and it results in abuse.
I learn a tremdendous amount from you. Thank you for your movement and desire to help everyone.
Threshold is so important! I mostly trained my dog it because of human error 😅 he won't go out the house, get out of the car, or even out of the backyard with the gate open unless asked. Safest for him that way! Opening the portal to the outside made me laugh 🤣
Its the truth!!
I have a male golden retriever just like Wilson. Same bad traits. A prong collar looks like it would work really well, but in many states in Australia they are banned. I'm very impressed with what you have been able to achieve with Wilson in such a sort time.
Finally had a breakthrough today with engagement on the leash using your change direction technique. What a massive difference having the dog watching/aware of me and staying engaged. Another dog came by off leash and he still stayed with me and sat waiting for the next command, woohoo! Love your training videos.
I used the prong collar on my German Shepherd. It took 1 time. Works like a charm. The dog will thank you for the direction. I totally believe in them from puppyhood. Great video. WOW....same thing with this dog ...1 time is all it took.
The added commentary on time spent/timing of exercise is priceless.
One of the first things I teach is thresholds. Game changer.
Always
Could you elaborate??
@@sopaipillapesadilla7023 By teaching a new dog to wait at a threshold (door, car door, kitchen doorway, gate, etc.) the dog learns to watch the handler for directions on what to do. Threshold drills can be done with no words or commands (other than the release word "break".) I use the same concept when kenneling a new dog. I stop in front of the kennel; the dog sits; I say "kennel" and put the dog into the kennel. When taking it out of the kennel; the dog sits and I start to open the door; if the dog moves, I shut the door. When the dog sits quietly and waits with the door open, I say "break" and the dog walks quietly out of the kennel and sits down. Then I can leash up and continue with whatever is next. By having the dog wait for permission to go through a threshold, it is learning to yield space to the handler and to listen for commands. It also helps with manners. Hope this helps.
@@vickialldaffer3634 Thanks Vicki! :)
@@vickialldaffer3634 it sounds so simple, and it is so simple. Yet the vast majority of owners out there have absolutely no idea of what a dog looking to them for permission to do things looks like. It's such a shame. Owners think letting the dog do whatever it wants to do is kindness. Nothing could be further from the truth. X
I checked this book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSw1k29V8f0aNwyGI6qRGYJc3E4Y4Eoxy out at the library - read it cover to cover - and then decided to purchase it, so i can refer to it as needed. This provides additional ways to train in addition to the two obedience classes my sicx month old belgian malinois has already attended. Despite having dogs my whole life, i have been voraiciously reading dog training and psychology books lately given my little "maligator" has a mind of her own (extremely smart but obstinate) , and this one ranks among the best.
Loved it! AND I love it when Tom says “positive punishment”. Such an underused term... and behavior itself! Great job, Wilson! Your owners will be very happy!
Thanks so much for watching!
Underused term? Positive punishment in psychology means adding something unpleasant as a consequence to stop unwanted behavior from happening. You can teach perfect heel with positive reinforcement only, no need to punish a dog with an unpleasant feeling in the throat.
positive punishment doesn’t necessarily mean “positive”, like happy. it means adding something to decrease a behavior
I'm staying with this mindset: "Stress is part of success: name one thing in life that we really break through, learn and progress and achive or goals without any stress. Stress is part of what we are doing". 04:54
I love this guy. His advice is sound, fair and makes perfect sense. New sub. I am so tired of trainers of this "new modern mind" "give your dog a treat every 2 seconds". This is super helpful.
As someone who uses a prong collar myself I must say I am so happy to see open minded people. ☺
Very knowledgeable and informative content, Tom's approach towards these videos is extremely unique. He is just not talking through the concepts in great details, but he reinforces them with a live demo using the real time cases from his academy. Absolutely brilliant !
I am saving up to take my puppy to your school. In the meantime I will continue to watch your videos. Im a first time dog owner and have a puppy that, well is a puppy and I, despite all the reading and research i did before hand, feel like I'm already failing and I know its my fault and my lack of experience, its been overwhelming. Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us, Ive have been learning so much by watching them and then practicing what I see on the pup.
Hey. I've been watching your videos for over a week now. Volume is up cause I don't want to miss anything. When I finally got up off my tail to practice with him, he did more than half of what I expected him to do do without practice. I think it's because you don't cut a lot of things and that you are not 'hollywoodish'... You are awesome! Thanks. I will get this Shepard under control eventually. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't find you online.
Thank you for keeping in everything - just speeding it up. It's important to know what to do when things aren't perfect - they break the sit, or jump up, bite the leash, whatever. Sometimes it's a small thing that I'm doing that I'm not even realizing is impacting the dog, like holding the leash too tight. Thanks for your help!
po
This is awesome. I’ve been working on this with my dogs bc they’re so eager to go out the door anytime it opens and they’re doing really well. Thanks Tom!
Thanks for watching
This is exactly my dog! A creme Golden just turned 1 year old. You gave me hope that it could be done! Hubby is ill so training fell through the cracks and now my job! I will soon be a NBD Army member! Thank you, Tom! Say Hi to Tucker for me!
My nephew, and he tries so hard! You guys are amazing and he is already a brand new dog! Great job!!
"He's a golden retriever he's happy if you look at him for all he cares" 🤣😂 why is this GR in a nut shell. They always seem to be just happy go lucky. The hippies of the dog world.
The innocent look in wilsons eyes as he just pulls along. Such a beautiful retriever!
I LOVED this video with Wilson, he is so much happier and adjusted.
Thanks Sheila! I always appreciate your feedback :)?
I am a positive reinforcement trainer, mainly because 1) thats how I was taught and taught to believe any aversive method is cruel, 2) because thats what my market wants and 3) thats whats accepted in the circles and groups and clubs thats im involved with and to be anything different would ostracise myself. But in my heart it's not the way forward, and your videos have definately converted me. Positive works, but its looong, and time consuming and in the real world people need results and start to loose confidence and energy when there is a little bit of improvement but they are still struggling weeks down the line. I would love to be able to use the tools you use and get the results you get, as I can see that the dogs and owners are happier for it. But I'm not ready to take the plunge and maybe loose lifelong friends over it. Such a dilemma...
excellent comment. hope tom sees
For what it’s worth, I’ve found that the prong collar inflicts even less pain than a harness or collar, because with the prong they simply don’t pull. With the harness, my dog pulled so hard that she ends up breathing weird and hacking stuff up.
And the prong is positive reinforcement in its own way, because now that we go on fun, stress free walks, she is excited to put the prong on and go walk. I’m about a month in using the prong, and now when I use just a regular collar, she doesn’t pull.
Sometimes it's better to just keep things the way they are because you may lose clients.
They are not your friends if they are not open to listening to others perspective. This is positive reinforcement. As you stated yourself, the dogs are happier and so are the owners. NO ONE gets through life without getting a correction. In my opinion that’s what’s wrong in our society. Kids and people don’t respect each other or have boundaries.
@@adamm5054 Thankyou, that is what I'm doing but it is really difficult when you don't 100% believe in what your saying.
I like that you ar confirming everything I learned on my own, the hard way.
People are lucky to have these videos, thank you.
I had 2 Goldens. Brother and Sister. I took them to class and learned it's really the trainer training the trainer. Best desicion I ever made. Taught them to ring a bell by the door when they wanted out. You can teach a dog anything as long as you learn how. I did have to use the prong collar and didn't like that at first. But the female was a little more difficult. Once I accepted the trainers advice and was taught how to use it...all I can say is wow! I walked ny dogs 3 times a day and was so proud. We would pass other dogs where there owners were barking at us and going nuts and we just enjoyed life. They were truly my BEST FRIENDS! Can't wait to see them over the rainbow bridge! Thank you for what you do!
What a great video, I really love hearing about the application of operant conditioning and reinforcement. If others can understand those concepts, it makes it a lot easier to interpret and communicate with your dog!
I learn so much from your videos and I love the way you talk it through and explain what you’re doing and hope and why the dog responds
Excellent video as always. The way you explain things and answer the real life questions is so helpful. I am seeing a huge difference with my walking relationship with Ragnar. He has always been excellent with waiting at the door until I tell him free. He heels beautifully inside, in my yard, when he was in training classes, on my driveway but man when we left the property and started walking he wasn't so great. Since I started watching your videos and I started over with the prong collar. Now I finally have his undivided attention, even on our walks. Thank you so much. Now I have to watch you videos on how to get him to go to a place. :-)
Thanks Dave, I appreciate you watching~!
I had to turn down adopting an Akita husky mix that had been running loose chasing buffalo for a couple years because I had to sign a contract that I would only train with their trainer and I would only use a harness. He also was going to weigh at least 100lb when filled out. This is the reason there are so many out of control dogs. Everyone is so afraid to teach their dogs and children right from wrong. It can be done without pain but a dog or child must know the difference.
I've shared this video and others to help people out before when they are struggling with how to use a prong. And it helped me better understand the process and become a better trainer, too. People say prong collars are abusive, but this morning I just went to get Layla and threw a slip leash on her to walk her to the house. Screw up and gave her the clear (aka break) command to release her from a sit instead of the heel command, and told her to heel...she literally DANCED into a heel position. Not moved, not drug her feet...she DANCED into position, with flair. Mind you, this is a GSD we are talking about, and they are usually pretty serious, but Layla? She's gone from being afraid of her own shadow to completely stable with a goofy sense of humor just from knowing the boundaries and the rules. It's good communication, that's what the prong really is. Prong collars go a long way in helping to improve communication between dog and handler, and what problems doesn't good communication correct? For the most part, I had Layla to where I could clip a leash on her flat collar half the time and know she'd mind me when I told her to heel. She's almost ready to start work as my psychiatric service dog (yes, a GSD who was afraid of her own shadow when I got her because she'd not had the benefit of people working with her on rules and boundaries), and that says a lot for how well this kind of training works. The minute she had a job and knew it, she knew she didn't have to be afraid anymore. I'll swear by a solid balanced training program any day...I'm even able to reward her with small treats on walks when she does exceptionally well for some extra reinforcement now that she's not constantly stressed and anxious, and she doesn't even pull badly when her prey drive kicks in on cats, squirrels, rabbits, and drones (yes, I mean the kind people fly). It's a process, but the hard work pays off!
Happy for you’, thanks for the sharing :)
Yep your right Tom, I open the door my dog waits for me to tell her it's OK to go out, then she does. Threshold is important. Great Great Great show. I
Thanks Julius!
My GSD will be 9 months on the 13th. She is and has been absolutely amazing with our family. My husband and I have 7 kids living at home. My 8th son who is almost 18, lives with his dad and has only seen her once when she was a small puppy. Him and his beautiful girlfriend recently came down. First time I ever met her, the whole weekend our dog wanted to rip off their face. Before this, we definitely wanted training done! It always got pushed back because of how amazing she was. Now its like an absolute MUST! I was so embarrassed. I cannot have her doing this when people we love and trust come over.
I have been watching your videos and am addicted! I bought a Herm Sprenger 2.25 prong collar, but now am waiting for more prongs, as it was too small. I cant wait to use it with all your advice! She is seriously the smartest dog I have known. I don't want to fail her!
A huge problem of mine, I'm 100% anxious! I can see she senses this while around me. My husband is a lot laid back and she's way better. He isn't home to do the training. It's all on me.
Any tips or tricks for her to settle when we greet someone at our front door??

This got really long.. Really fast lol Sorry.
Tom offers video consults on his America’s Canine Educator website. You might want to invest in a session or two given your situation.
Here is what the American Kennel Club breed standard for German Shepherds states: “There are many reasons why German Shepherds stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherds will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there’s a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.”
You need to be in control of your GSD and provide it with leadership at all times. This means being in control of yourself, for your body language and energy you project are sensed by your dog. Everyone in your house, including children, husband and yourself must be pack leaders; your dog is #2 in the hierarchy.
Lastly, the rules for house visitors entering your home regarding your dog need to be this: no look, no touch, no eye contact with the dog when entering. Most people do not know how to approach and greet a dog. This is especially important for them to learn when meeting a GSD inside their family home.
I am involved with German Shepherd rescue. They are naturally protective of their family , so training and providing them mental stimulation and a job is very important. Good luck. You can do it.
@@arneb3818 thank you so much. I'm confident I can train her using Tom's techniques. The videos are very clear. I have already seen a slight difference in her, without using the collar. Once she has the basics down I think my anxiety will drop drastically. She's an amazing dog, and fits in perfectly with our family. I'll definitely go take a look at his website. Thank you again.
Pinch collars (also known as prong collars) are legal to use in the UK as training aids. ... Research has shown that aversive training techniques, like pinch collars, can cause pain and distress and can compromise dog welfare.
Thanks Tom, for this great video with helpful tips. Really liked that we saw the dogs progress from the very start and got to see how the dog reacted both inside and outside. Seeing the wait command at both the gate and the main door was helpful also.
I admire how you stay calm even though the dog is really wild at the beginning 🐶 so nice to watch a video like this. And it's so good to see how the dog is learning. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪❤️
Thank you, Tom! I absolutely love this video! It’s so frustrating dealing with dogs as a dog walker when their owners insist on having them on a harness or a flat collar, which gives you absolutely no control and only provides more leverage for the dog! I’m definitely going to save this video and send it to Dog the owners to educate them a little bit more about why it’s so important to provide the structure and also the right equipment as long as they learn how to use it the proper way. In the end, you end up with a much calmer, happier dog. I just wish more owners really understood this. It’s so frustrating.
Just rescued a 6 mo. Cane corso. The HS prong collar arrives in 2 days. THIS VIDEO will make a huge difference in our lives. Many thanks from Mexico❣️
Beautiful, just a Beautiful change. The doggo is so happy. You can see it. 🤗
YESSS! So happy for him!
This is Lauren again---Lido is still improving and our walks are getting longer...I am so happy!!! All thanks to your videos. Now if you could make a video about teaching a large friendly Golden to not go bonkers and overwhelm every visitor...his "place" command just disappears into the mist. I need a video about this!
I also have a Golden (English Creme) Retriever. We contacted a breeder and I picked him out of the litter of 9. About 2 months after we had him in our home we wondered if we had made a huge mistake. I finally contacted a trainer and just like Tom, he said "he has no structure" and he knows it. Told us "what you have is the Frat Boy of Golden Retrievers. He needs to slow down and think about what he's doing." He still pulls hard if someone walks up to us on walks but has no problem if they just walk by. We're definitely still a work in progress but we're getting there.
Thanks, Tom for all the videos. They're a great help. We look forward to seeing Wilson's progress.
Love your training style! Learning so much from you and I’ve had dogs my whole life. You teach in such a “to the point”way.
Thank you!
My Saint Bernard puppy was like this before we got a prong collar lol. My hands would be rubbed raw! Thank you for your videos, excited to watch as we are still working on engagement outside!
Great to hear! Good luc!
You guys are always doing great job with these dogs 👌🏼
Thanks so much!
Excellent video Tom. If only more pet dog owners applied this. Their dogs would be far happier and stable. Thank you : )
Thanks Laura, always good to hear from you!
My golden is 3 and used to walk like this. He can heel in the house and the yard, but is a disaster outside. I used to strictly use a harness on him because he pulled so hard I was afraid that he’d hurt himself. I walked circles in the driveway with a slip lead on for maybe 5 minutes before our afternoon walk today, just practicing his heel command. Switched over to his flat collar for the rest of the 30 min walk, and it was like he’s a brand new dog. Didn’t care about chasing birds or pulling me halfway down the sidewalk to say hi to his doggy friends. He didn’t walk a perfect heel the whole time (of course I didn’t expect him to) but it was loose leash for probably 80% of the walk. I’m amazed at how well this works, and so happy I finally have a way to communicate with him in a language he understands. Thanks Tom!!!
I have a crazy golden retriever pup and omg is he ever full of energy!! He’s a sweetheart but he has such issues when we have company. I have the Herm springer collar and the stimulator just to keep him from loosing his mind daily. Thank you for working with Wilson on this video. He reminds me so much of our Oakley.
Yes, I have a pitbull, I had her from a puppy, I had her potty trained in a week. Yes a week, I would feed and water her, gave her 10 min after eating took her out side in the yard put her down, and she did her jobs. So yes good training is very important.
Spectacular training! I can so relate to this dog. You are right about the harness. It works, finally with the front ring....but not for every situation. The slip lead seems to be better and I am trying the basics you laid out. I especially loved the ‘aggressive mastiff’ training. So great. Well done. OK, so the prong collar.....something I believe we may need to try. The reason I am on your site initially, was trying to learn more about e-collars. We have a jumping problem when visitors come over....not as bad as when he was a puppy, (yellow lab) but annoying and we have to keep him on a leash for the first 15min . He is obsessed with people coming to visit and jumps and follows them like they are here to entertain him only.
You are my favorite dog trainer! I have 4 border collies and love your videos. I also just got a horse, and now really really appreciate your training and video style even more, because I haven't anyone to watch in the horse training world that's as cool as you! 😎
awesome! Thanks so much!
Yay what timing!! Came in to get coffee and check email, which can wait now, I have a video to watch. 🥰

I went through Animal Behavior College to become a better dogwalker in NYC. Your videos are so clutch, love em'!
This video is amazing. You have explained everything so well and its so helpful to see a video of a completely untrained dog. I like that you use correction as well and not constant treats for reinforcement. Thank you SO much for this!
Amazing to watch the change in behavior. 👍
Good video Tom, I enjoy all that you do with dogs, Animals are a blessing, and yes they need love and training so they are good companions, good job tom
Thanks, Julius!
@@tomdavisofficial Tell Tom I am waiting for my bad dog hat.
I adopted a dog and his behavior is exactly how Wilson behavior was on day one. He doesn't listen to commands, he pulls like crazy and easily excited when seeing people and other dogs. I have a hard time getting him to engage with me and follow my lead. My hands hurt so bad after taking my dog for a walk. This video gave me some ideas on how I can help him but I think I need more "how to" videos. So I can help both him and me.
Barrier threshold is the first thing I taught we haven't had a 5 we had it at a three-eye train on a mobility scooter still having a little issues pulling on just a straight collar prong that doesn't draw up so we'll probably have to switch to and the prong that does draw getting ready to muzzle train because we're super reactive two people very afraid would did they find we have a good solid sit she's been very neglected eat your own feces out of neglect has been touched by someone in inappropriate ways she is finally quit bouncing her head when she comes to me great videos thank you so much for all your
Oh Lordy! This is Gracie to a "T". Especially the jumping part. She is doing much better at not pulling, but the leaping can be a bit out of control. So many people think she is so beautiful. In truth, she is a ham. LOL! I love her to death. Your videos have helped me learn Gracie and learn myself as well. We are working on improving our relationship with one another. Thank you for all you do!
This video was the last prong collar vid I watched before deciding to go with it, my 10 month old Staffordshire bull terrier has had the best two walks of his life today! Absolute game changer, Thankyou!!!
Loved this video, great for us new puppy owners too!
My man! Just found you today! You are an amazing human being. I learned valuable things for my dog and also for myself ❤️
Great job Tom. Wilson is a beautiful dog.
“This is the hardest pulling dog in the world!”
My dog: hold my bone
(Don’t worry, prong collar is coming tomorrow)
Haha “hold my bone” that’s great!
I might have to get one to, she’s not half as bad, But I’d rather fix it while she’s young.
We had to toss ours. My dog was to stubborn and his tongue would turn purple and he did not give a single care lol
As an update to this, the prong collar has worked like a dream and now she even walks nicely on her regular collar. Harnesses don’t work.
I love watching your technique… I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thank you for all you do to help these pups and their people.
Tom, you have helped me so much with my boxer puppy! Thank you
Happy for you!! :)
Okay--This is Lauren Lopez and I am back after watching this video yesterday. I started using this technique with Lido, my 2 year old Golden, yesterday afternoon with the exact prong collar and it was an amazing result! We stayed right on our street, back and forth, but by the time we were ready to come back in the house, he was calmly walking next to me and seemed VERY HAPPY. I took him out again today, with THREE yard sales happening on our block, and he was good again today, with a slight backslide with all the additional cars and people. I am so hopeful that we will continue to progress! This is the only video that has ever helped me. I am grateful beyond words. MORE MORE MORE!
i commented on ur other comment and then scrolled down to see this one lol, i'm so happy for you!! well done!!
@@skipskylark9525 Thank you for the encouragement!
Oh, my puppy is same, we got him from other owners when he was about five months, I need keep watching videos to learn how to train him.
I have a Cane Corso that gets bigger every day and pulls and reacts like no tomorrow. I have watched training videos after training videos, but none come close to what you teach! Thank you for your help!!
I walked my 8 month old male standard Poodle the other night, he did really well until we got to the front of our house, someone was walking a dog across the street that started to bark and cry at the sight of Roo. Roo got so wound up he almost slipped his collar, I could barely get him up on the porch and we were right in front of it, that's how much he was jumping and struggling. Previously this summer, I had him at the lake and he got so excited by some children running and screaming that he pulled me over and I fractured my wrist in 3 places. Post surgery and cast I am now walking him again and trying not to let the previous experience undermine my energy but I was failing. That kind of excitability is always concerning if you can't get it under control and I clearly could not with a martindale collar. I'm sure he would've just ran to the barking dog to play but you never know if the other dog will bite, a car may have come down the street, so I spent two nights watching nothing but your videos on training with a prong collar and this video on Wilson made me a believer. We went and got one today and the result was immediate, he corrects himself, I don't even need to snap it. I took him with to get it so we could make sure we got the correct fit and took him to a big park run off some energy before introducing the collar. Then we came home and tried the collar, first in the house to introduce him to it, then on the front walk, just up and down the street. Walking, reversing my walk, back and forth like I saw you do on the video, and he followed the whole time. When he did try to pull I didn't even need to correct, he's sensitive enough to it to immediately correct himself. As soon as I put it on him his whole attitude changes. He knows his basic commands, he's very smart, but he can be a maniac when he gets excited. I'm so grateful, I was beginning to think I may have to re-home him, that I was the wrong person for this dog. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, knowing him and his determination/strength like I do, I don't even think an e collar would've worked. I think he needed the physical communication and that's really what it comes down to, communicating what is expected and allowing the dog to correct his own behavior. Thank you again, Roo and I are forever grateful!
Thanks for sharing this video Tim. I have a 2 year old golden retriever similar to Wilson. He pulls like crazy , I have tried multiple nonpull harnesses and one choke collar that I bought from pet store . Choke collar. did not help at all but the no pull harness worked for some days and now he is back to his pulling habit . I have ordered the same prong collar after watching your video today . My wife got Arthritis and now I have heart issues . We were seriously thinking of giving away our dog to someone else but I see a hope . Will try your technique. Thanks Tom
How has it been going with your pup? Was she receptive to the collar? Wilson & your pup are exactly my doggo Roxy. She's a GR & almost 2 yrs.old & man, can she pull! Gonna have to do this as my last resort too. I hope it worked for you pup. Stay well.
Omg. You are so good! I have tried some of your tips. You are awesome. Thank you.
Thanks Maura! :)
Excellent 31 minute training.
I appreciate your love and commitment to K-9’s,
I love your techniques as a trainer myself.
So many possibilities to help us understand and live with love and compassion
With our animal friends and companions.
Thanks Tom!
I really like your step by step guide and also not showering with the treats method! Our amazing almost 2 yrs mini aussi shepard Haji's leash walk has been so bad (she is high high energy dog) since we mostly did playing fetch since Covid started. I used to only did positive reinforcement with lots of treats but our dog figured out quickly she could do whatever I want in sec and she could get the treats and then she could go back to do whatever she wanted to. I was frustrated. So I watched this video and applied to out dog's this morning walk and it worked!
👍🏻I did the same thing with my Berner but using a flat collar! My baby walks beautifully not just with me but with the students he helps.
Hi to Wilson's owner above my comment. This is a video taylor made for dog owners "of an age." It is crucial to teach this behavior chain as part of a new dog/owner situation because not only will the dog choke itself continually, the owner can sustain a permanent injury to the wrist. All those small bones and tendons at the juncture are taking *all* the pressure of maintaining control. They will show painful, chronic injury for months and in some cases, permanently. My 4yo Shepherd with no obedience training, injured me with just this situation. Thank you Tom for showing the real life process👍
Ridiculous results lol 💪🔥 Also a beautiful sweet pup!
Im so glad you put most of the video in. Thank you.
So glad you watch!
Nailed it on the stress. Some people just dont think before they speak and will speak up in concern for the dog because a dog looks stressed while being trained.
I just got a shelter dog 8 days ago. He is a yellow lab/healer mix (50lbs). He was returned twice before I got him. Previous adopters complained he mouthed, nipped and jumped on them uncontrollably. The humane society staff has put in a fair amount of training. In a controlled environment, he sits, lays, shakes and comes most of the time (80%+) but still jumped and mouthed a lot without firm direction when I got him. I have made a lot of progress and he stops jumping and mouthing with the commands, "Down" and "Be nice." He is now very good on a leash with no pulling.
I have one remaining issue that I do not know how to train. He is very smart with an insatiable curiosity. As soon as I let him off his leash or rope, he is gone, for hours, but so far has returned each time. I live on 40 acres in a very remote part of central WA right on the U.S./CA border with no neighbors for miles. He can be across the border in 5 minutes of running. How do I train him to stay around and not run off? I do not want him to live on a rope or leash. I've looked at electric fence/collars but reviews are very inconsistent and not a solution for me. Training is what I want for him. Thank you for any help/suggestions.
Thanks for the review. I was able to see where I created an issue that I now have better tools to fix.
Tom, Omg that looks like my lab on a leash. She's 12 and stubborn but learning thanks to your teachings.
This is a great video which teaches so many behavior corrections. Wilson is smart and seems to learn quickly so Beth (beautiful dog) enjoy your new relationship with him. I wish you many wonderful years of friendship and shared times.
Thanks so much! :)
I watch your videos from France and I love your work. I'm a dog trainer for 2 years. I learned a lot with you. Thanks for the share.
I’m dying! The “boing” noise. Poor guy! This is what keeps rescues full. You can tell he’s a sweetie. The first “boing” I was like, “he won’t be doing that for long!” lol
I believe I suffer from seperation anxiety waiting for your next video!!! lol
haha Love that :) I think... lol
