This dog behaves EXACTLY like mine. She’s an utter angel around people, but the second another dog appears, it’s almost like she turns into a shark and I’ve got seconds to react before she tries to maul/kill. This is honest to god the most relieving thing I’ve ever seen since adopting her. I can’t tell you how much I needed both the information in this video and the situation. Thank you so much for posting this.
How is she now?
I need an update! My dog is literally like this also!!
Hello?
Their dog ate them.

Hahah
I respect the owners for doing all they can to correct the behaviors. I personally could not deal with a dog that would turn its teeth on me. Zero tolerance for that. Too dangerous to me!!!
This is amazing because you’re not just zapping the dog and then saying “WOW LOOK AT THOSE RESULTS!” You’re asking why and how does it happen, you’re asking all the right questions and explaining everything so amazingly!
Lilith Vasiliev Moreau thank you so much for your feedback!
In one of your other videos you had mentioned that people say you talk too much, and I feel like that's a horrible thing to say. You don't just jump into dog training and say look here's your dog do this. You analyze and explain in detail what the dog is doing and what the owner needs to do and how they need to work together to change the behavior. I've learned so much from watching your videos just in working with my own dogs and it's been incredibly helpful. So please keep up the good work!
I guess it depends on how the clients learn. For example, I fall asleep in lectures, but make it a lab class and I'm fully engaged.
@@aaronjohnmaughan The problem is that in the dog training world, you don't always have the chance to learn purely by watching or doing. If I handed someone who had never seen a prong collar before a Herm Sprenger, I can't trust that they have any idea what to do with it. If they see someone else pop the leash on one, do they know why the handler does that or when?
I understand the complaint that "he talks too much" as sometimes it drags on, but the way he explains things leaves little room for misunderstanding what he is saying. I'd rather know more than less. I learn more by reading and experiencing things but he said it well enough for me to understand 🙂
I totally agree with you...
He doesn't talk a lot....
He talks right enough~
I have learned a lot I almost want to cry...
Thank you so much for his videos~
No, he talks too much. That's what young people do until they become masters of their craft and can explain concisely in fewer words.
@@citytrees1752 No one cares
What you said beginning at 10:34 is PURE GOLD! *"If he can change his mind about a behavior it is voluntary."* 🔥🔥🔥
I am fostering a German Shepard mix. She was found in the desert. She didn't know any commands and I taught her sit, paw, and down with the clicker very easily. I have 3 other dogs. Have never been aggressive with them. Not even my Yorkie who is deeply annoyed with her. However, when we're on a leash outside she turns into Cujo at the sight of other dogs. No dogs? She's great, jogs with me. Is terrified of cars. Any who, I'm determined to correct it or she'll never stand a chance at getting adopted. She has deep anxiety issues that I've been able to work with. I'm sure its the breed and being alone for over 4 months. She looks very intimidating and it's embarrassing in public when she goes buzerk. I just ordered an e collar. This video was great! Ive been watching a lot of your videos on e collar usage. This one in particular hit home. Thx!!
somehow i missed this vid 'til now, & as always, i'm left with new understanding and a smile. i'm truly grateful that you're on this planet, doing this amazing work for dogs like this little guy. gotta admit i wept with joy for him when he climbed up on you for a little love. Every bit of knowledge & understanding that you share so generously is gonna hit home with someone, somewhere, & make a positive difference. Thank you so much
You did an amazing job with this demo. Thanks!
I am glad there are people like you work with these dogs. I have to be honest. I don’t know if I would have kept him as long as they did. Hats off to you all.
Great video Thomas. Been awhile since I've been at your channel. Love how you explain and break it down. I always learn something from you. Hope you are well. Blessings.
What a great session. Thank you Tom
I like the dude with a back yard full of dogs socializing new ones confronting him with ten of them at once. It's very natural and fast. This little boy may be friendly with this one and change his mind with a new one
I’m feeling so overwhelmed by our reactive rescue puppy who bites and growls when overstimulated on walks. We’re in an apartment so we have to walk him and I’m at my wits end. I appreciate your videos.
Thank you for adopting!! I’ve definitely been there. I didn’t feel like I was able to even take my lab rescue out to potty without being muzzled. Stay strong you’ve got this!
I dig the way you slowed it down in the later half. Really made sure they understood the roots of behavior
Gator Stretch YES! Thank you! Glad you appreciate the entire breakdown!
This was incredibly awesome to watch. You are just so amazing with dogs. You have an incredible gift. Thank You for sharing it. I love watching you and listening to you. You make it all make sense. Thank You!
Another AWESOME video! Thank you!
That was BRILLIANT! Im learning so much, thank you.
Wow Tom I've been working with dogs for a long time and you're very no-nonsense, logical and rational when you explain this to people. I have a dog who is reactive and its a puppy-behavior that I am trying to break before he's too old. I recognize this video is a bit older but its very helpful. I work at a daycare and I deeply understand dog behavior but I have never had to use an e-collar. My dog is the third to my pack and he is certainly reactive. It's something I have not dealt with, with my breed specifically. I have been using the e collar more and more and your videos help me know that what I'm doing is the right path for him.
I just tried teaching my dogs with lease pressure heel, sit, place and stay and it was with just a rope slip collar and it worked so well within 15 they had picked it up and I feel like with a bit more practice I can walk them outside 👍 it's great. Thank you for teaching me the basics and making me feel less stressed about taking my dogs for a walk.
Very well done, Thomas~. Thank You.
Thanks Dena!
Another awesome video! I love how you break things down so us regular dog owners understand. That's a priceless gift and can't thank you enough
Michelle Anderson thanks as always Michelle! Means so much for your valuable feedback.
Very informative. Thank you!
excellent videos on e collar training
You are amazing and I just enjoy watching all your videos
Brilliant Tom. So many people focus only on the stim setting ,they forget the vibrate and the bleeper. Both very useful . Thank you for explaining things so well : )
Thank you!
@@tomdavisofficial ?? Why not use stim level? I agree the fact that this is the last resort when you put the work in and have been fair and tried several other options with fairness .
Thank you so much for explaining that when tools are ignored by the dog, its not the owner all the time. Our e collar training is definitely ups and downs because my herding breed just lets his muscles twitch over and over and over. Impulse control is our biggest struggle and with a baby on the way I don't need him running off.
Tom is a wizard! thank you for all of your videos UCA
Watching this breakthrough actually brought tears to my eyes!
A dog who was almost given up on, who would have never found another home and probably would have ended up euthanised, has another chance.
Thank you, for everything that you do, Tom ❤️
Tailor, you are seriously the best! As always THANK YOU!
So glad you explained this dog isn't afraid as the dog would have growled despite the vibration ... I think my dog's in the brat category now I have watched this ... another great video thanks Tom
Yes! Agreed! Thanks so much Kay!
Just vibration. Awesome.
love your channel! subscribed!
Angelo! Thank You!
Wow! It's magic. The difference is night and day. It's simply amaging.
Love your videos! so informative and helpful to understand our dogs behavior!
What is the difference between an e-collar and a shock collar and can you recommend an e-collar for a 40 pound pit?
Amazing video thank you so much
...very helpful... I have a German Shepherd girl who has issues with other dogs... she has had the yard to herself for 5 years, but the landlord just got a 2 year old Boxer girl, who now shares the yard.... so we are back in training ~ Thank You
Jhere, Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it!
its always wonderful to watch the lotus unfold
Yes, love it! Thanks for the comment!
So awesome to watch, I have a GS who redirects. I purchased a e-coller, wish me luck.
Hey I’m thinking about getting an e-collar for my pitbull mix too. How did the e collar work out for you and your GS??
I'm very impressed by this video. I wanted to tell you how very much I appreciate you and your videos! I just bought a Dr.Trainer Dog Training Collar for my puppy. This E collar has auto retractable and will not cause irritation to my dog's neck. Also I can record my voice to the system, I can use my voice recording to train my dog, say goodbye to the traditional beep sound for good. So far it seems really effective. All I do is pressing the voice recording button to correct my dogs behavior. We hardly have to use the shock setting.
wow, voice recording; that's great!
Very impressed. Victoria Australia.
Underrated video. Would have never envisioned an e-collar as it comes off as cruel at first.
Hopefully this can progressively work out for my pup who always get away with these behaviours when I am not there to keep him behaved.
I literally have 2 pinchi dogs that are just like this. It has been a very tough 2yrs for my husband and I. This is why early on I stopped using treats to try and end the behavior because I know it wasn’t doing anything. My dogs won’t even let people they don’t know get close to them. This dog looks like an angel compared to mine. I will use this to help train them individually.
ugh, wish you could help with our dog. she has similar issues, but only towards other dogs. loves people and will cuddle, great with kids. She has even dragged me across a field trying to get to another dog, leaving me bruised and scraped. E-collar is our next step and this video was very helpful! thank you!
Brilliant guy.
Damn bro she is trilingual! German sitz, French Couche and English stay! Smart girl! lol!
haha thanks
Are you working her in IPO. FR, PSA or some other working dog discipline?
@@tomdavisofficial
i watched alot of your videos, on thing is absolutly clear, dogs are all fine, the owners are noobs :) good job
Awesome.....as allways.
Thank you!
I needed this fr
I'm going to try this on our dog who is an absolute nightmare around other people and dogs. Once he growled at a child and I was mortified - now I only take him on trails where I know there won't be many people. This gives me hope.
Love this video
Great video. We are at that point with our dog, whose about 3 times bigger than this dog in the vid (Anatolian Shepard mix). He’s aggressive towards most dogs and hard to walk because of it. I’ve even had to do P.T. on my shoulder from his puppy pulling on the leash phase. Trainers have said he seems generally anxious (doesn’t like most other dogs and men). He’s been in a prong collar but it’s barely helping now. Like he can’t stop himself from lunging.
We will try an e-collar as our last attempt. He’s super calm with us at home. Not aggressive to us.
@johnPieterse: did this method help with your Anatolian Shepard mix? I read your post and had to double take to make sure it wasn't my husband posting this. We have the EXACT same issue (down to him doing PT on his shoulder!). Just got an ecollar and am hopeful I can someday walk him when it's daylight, when we may encounter other four-legged creatures . Please update!
Impressive!! 👍
Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback!
This was so helpful! I have a dog that guards everything and growls, I'm going to use the vibrate on his e collar to correct him.
How did it go if you don’t mind me asking??
My dog is very much like Doodle. A previous trainer said that when Rumple wants to go over to an animal/person/car/bike/whatever object it is, and then when I try to correct him, he turns around and jumps/tries to bite me. Their response was to teach my dog that I am the "alpha" through practices at home, and to just body block while he is muzzled on walks. Needless to say, two years later, it didn't work. In fact, I think it is worse than when I had first started: he does it more frequently and has grown quite a bit since we first met the trainer.
I would love to see a follow up with this dog a little while later presented with new dogs and people to see how much hes generalising and proofing stuff. This was very interesting and normally I would never advocate for using aversives with with a dog who's growling so I feel very torn. On the one hand I've always tried to avoid punishing out the warning system because a growl is the dog making an effort to communicate he wants space without using aggression. On the other hand, the dog's issue is so severe and it sounds like the owners are about to give up trying to train him so if you can flood and just teach him complete avoidance of stuff hes to be reactive to I can understand how That could save the dog's life even though it's not ideal and then overtime could bounce back from that flooding/ punishment to choose to avoid reactivity but not in a super aversive way. Anyways, this was really interesting.
Question, did you condition this dog to the E. coli before you put it on. And how much conditioning did you do? (Just asking to learn from it and be able to use the techniques you outlined)
So I really want to understand this cause I just got an Ecollar today. I have a pit and hes a good boy other wise. I have an issue with him and other dogs or when people come over. He barks and tries to act tough. I just want to understand. So you try to correct behavior with the vibrate not the shock. The shock is for more intense situations?
Enjoy all your videos and information. Any tips or videos re: fence fighting?
I don't believe in zapping a dog, it's the lazy person's way of controlling a dog. A dog needs structure, boundaries, leadership, and positive praise delivered with a calm demeanor. I have binge-watched all of Thomas's videos and I'm very impressed with the prong collar he uses and the brands he recommends in one of his videos and the correct way to put the prong collar on the dog. Tom is amazing and has given me so much inspiration, He is a dog whisper 🐶
K but there's no zapping 🤷♂️
I have a One year old Boxer/Rottweiler mix...she’s a good girl she listens for the most part. Sometimes she gets really excited and starts jumping on us and biting. When she’s told “no” she gets more aggressive. She’s good when walking on the leash but out of no where she will start to bite her leash and try to get out of her harness. I don’t know how to correct this...if you have any tips or anything please please let me know!
Thanks, Thomas. I have been working with a great trainer and my English Bulldog has the prong collar and he does turn on me when I correct him when he is aggressive with dogs on a walk. We are going for a session tomorrow and I am going to insist to move to the eCollar. Taking Hank for a walk is a royal pain in the behind.
thanks for watching the video
Do you think it makes sense to use an ecollar or vibration collar for both communicating when the dog does not listen to me -and- when I say "No"? Or would it be better to use one of them for communication and the other type for "No"?
At 11:30 I literally cried. Wow oh wow that was so touching. ♡
I really wish you were in OH! 8(
AWE! Thanks so much for the feedback Jen, So happy you enjoyed it!
Same I need your help
Hi Thomas, amazing video. Thank you for sharing this.
Could you tell us which Ecollar do you use, please? We are in need.
Thank you for sharing so much knowledge !
Thank you! Ecollar tech mini!
I really enjoyed this video thank you
I am really trying to figure out why my dog reacts so horribly to people so I can truly fix it
I need help
This literally is my dog, who I just adopted 2months ago. He is 11, totally deaf, and was adopted then returned 3x due to his growling and biting. He has bitten us and friends literally 30+ times. He's both scared and pissed off and was definitely abused. We have a trainer but he's not really getting better... I'm gonna try e collar next! Thank you so much for this video it's been helpful!
did the e collar help?
I love your Malinois beautiful color I would love one just him
Thanks Tony! Appreciate it!
My 2 male dogs have been getting into serious fights and in the process has bitten 2 humans trying to break it up. They get aggressive over toys, where they want to sit or lay, food, anything. I just got a muzzle and ecollar, I know the root issue is dominance and territory, how should I go about correcting that issue with the e-collar?
What a beautiful Belgian Malinois
Tom, how long can you leave the e collar on? Meaning all day? A few hours? Trying to break my pup of unwanted behavior like this.
we just bought one of these collars and this video gave me more hope for our fear aggressive dog :) he breaks my heart he’s so terrified of me :(
Hello, how did it go for you?
Pretty sad when a companion becomes so difficult, but don't give up the end is worth it.
I need someone like you to help with my dog. He does the same thing with the redirection of anger.
I wish I could like this video 100 times lol this describes my situation 100%. I got my cane corso at 6 months from an abusive home. Zeus does exactly what u described in this video. I just purchased an ecollar for thr first time in my life. This video was the first video after watching 27363646 that actually helped me! Thank u! I was able to train zeus his basic commands. Hes very well trained but the aggression. Hes 10 months now. He has started to direct it at me sometimes when I give him a correction. After this video I have hope j can fix this too!
What e collar brand are you using?
I have two dogs that used to be great and super well trained but where attacked by other dogs and are becoming aggressive due to fear, almost like PTSD. Both get 2-3 hours of structured exercise a day + snuff mats and lick pads for stimulation. I need help and honestly don’t know where to start. It isn’t regular and consistent behavior but sporadic.
My rescue Rotty, Zoey. We are in week seven now. She loves the prong collar. Wags her tail when I get it out. And she pulls like a sled dog with it on. Last week she nipped my elbow after encountering a nearby dog. Thanks for your last reply Thomas. I'm hanging in there, patiently. Although the top of my hand is still bruised, and really ugly looking. The incision is healing nicely, hehe. I got a Mockins e-collar for her. And a muzzle like the one in this video. Haven't used either yet. I think I'll use vibrate for correction. And start conditioning for e-collar training. Peace.
Thanks for the feedback! Let me know how it works out!
Can this be done with a dog that all their agression is based on fear? Any agression my dog has toward other dogs is because he is terrified, tail tucked trying to run scared. But the moment he realizes he can't get away he lunges...
Did you just used the pager to correct him, is it posible to use the nick to make corrections too?
Awesome video Thomas! Do you happen to have any footage of when you first started working with him before you had made a break through? If so, I’d love to see it. This dog reminds me of my Cloud with the reactivity. Very helpful and informative. Cloud often chooses to walk away or remove herself and avoid the situation.... other times, she is full throttle mode
Thanks so much Lisa, no I don't sorry!
I think someone changed the setting on your camera so that it's causing it to constantly fade brightness up and down with movement. It kind of makes one queezy
I knowwww, we are adjusting and trying to figure it out!
the growl is a warning though, so by correcting the growl are you not getting rid of the warning? Isn't this dangerous because he learns to skip the warning and go straight to the attack?
The thing is , he gets rid of the warning and makes the dog into a avoiding behavior, so the warning gets replaced with avoiding
Thats how im understanding it
Super interesting video! You really understand what a dog like Doodle needs. The E-collar is such a perfect tool for him!
And oh man your new trainee Mal is such a sweet sissy boy haha, I adore his personality.
Haha LIzzy Thanks so much! Yes he is a mushhhhh
Great explanations, I flinched when he turned on you while you were kneeling next to him. I use same theories when training, in uk tools are frowned on, its all treats. Which as you say will not work with aggression cases.
Tom how many sessions did it take in this environment to get him to be less reactive to strange dogs?
ONE!
Where is this company located?
my dog is scared of the stimulation (at her working level) how can I fix that, whenever the e collar comes on she completely shuts off. i decided to start all over again and just put the e collar on her turned off. when I reintroduce the stim again how can I make sure she doesn't get scared again?
The exact same thing happens to me with one of my dogs, Thomas , what can we do to correct this?
@@williamrodriguez4350 Pair stim with something good like a treat. Start as low as possible and do short quick sessions. Do that for about a week and then transition to a ball, stim on and then stim off when you throw the ball. You both are most likely starting too high on the stim but if not, this is a good place to start.
?? Why not use stim level? I agree the fact that this is the last resort when you put the work in and have been fair and tried several other options with fairness .
I Have some imports and train here but seriously i have no idea where you got him i would buy brother or sister or puppie to raise. We mainly train family protection dogs.
Tony Tennessee thanks?
Which e -collar do you recommend?
What if 2 dogs sniff each other and then start fighting without any warning? Should I correct my dog with the ecollar as soon as the dogs start fighting?
My dog did this when we went to the off leash dog park a week ago another male came up and as soon as he was free both stood gard for a few seconds without warning or growling they went at it bad not one to brag but yeah mine made the other German Shepherd going to submission mode yelping and lady telling him off of him lol I was like yeah ok not don’t care how much love between my boy and I never get in between he’s not neither was the other don’t correct that it’s an animal nature I say dominanceBetween my dog and I am the dominant one I eat first he eats last I enter the door first go up the stairs first his last and everything are you sure that you are the one and he follows
@@GK-hz2ul You are right. I was asking because I was walking my female shepherd and another male shepherd tried to hump her. She freaked out on him and put him in his place. I did not stim her as I thought she was doing the right thing. A dog always needs to have the option to protect itself if need be.
@@GK-hz2ul you are an ass!
Would you classify this aggression as control conflict aggression?? Basically when a dog needs to control the situation and does not like being handled , depending on his mood at the time, and hates being restrained at all times?
I have a puppy who is definitely showing this control conflict aggrssion but I can't find any videos to help me. My research has shown this is one of most misunderstood types of aggression and a lot of people do relate it to dominance
Leerburg website has info regarding this. They explain the difference between obedience training and pack structure.
My dog did not let us put anything on even chain on him, he gets so aggressive and tries to bite, and he's an adult dog, will this work?
How many vibration levels does that collar have? I bought a petsafe brand one with vib but the vib is too weak.
Just 1 but it's intense!
Thanks.
Upstate Canine Academy do you recommend vibration or shock for a dog who does not learn from prong collar
Doodle reminds me of a poodle my dad adopted and we know what caused the dogs nasty behavior. It was the woman that raised him. She was mean, arbitrarily and would hit and kick him for no reason and at the same time she never disciplined his nasty behavior. You couldn't touch him without the risk of getting bit. Those poor owners, I can understand their frustration. I wish we could have known this. Great video!
NewEarthWellness thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback
Hi Tom This post was supposed to take on the video of the e collar and the aggressive dog. I have almost exactly the same type dog who growls or tries to bite me when he doesn’t like me to correct him. I have tried the prong but he is too reactive. My biggest problem is that he eats anything and everything! If I try to take whatever it is out of his mouth he will growl and then bite me. Do you think the vibrate on the e collar will help me to get him to leave or release whatever he has that is bad for him. This is a real safety concern for him so he doesn’t need an operation due to ingesting something. Thanks
I have the same issue! My dog will turn on me when corrected with the prong collar.
My dog exactly, a 2nd-hand rescue. She goes into total prey drive toward anything that moves. Barking, lunging, snarling. Cars, dogs, bikes, sliding glass doors. It's like she can't check herself, she enters a different state of mind. The prong collar makes her yelp but she keeps on driving forward with hostility. Same with the top level on the e-collar. She either totally ignores the stim, or redirects her aggression towards ME. Even without such distractions, she has no respect for my leadership. If I have treats, she can perform about 20 different commands, no hesitation (she's very smart, and learns quickly). But no treats, and I'm invisible to her. Not sure anything is going to work at this point, and it's not safe to keep a dog in this condition. Best alternative may be to put her down.
Is “1” level the least intense, getting stronger (more intense) with each incremental number? (ie. 1-99)?
Yes dogs have their own working level and will heel, sit etc on low levels in non exciting environments with distractions you might have to go higher. I have a leash reactive dog and he will ignore at lower levels if hes close to another dog so he has to go higher.
"if a dog was afraid of me I would never do this" I have a 5 yo male neutered Doberman I rescued a year ago and have been working with daily (e collar training, private lessons, etc) he is still reactive to other dogs on leash on walks but can go to group class w 15 other dogs and zero issues. In a doggy daycare situation at the training facility he stays on the outside wall, too scared to socialize. He isn't like this dog in your video w/ people but will give a low growl or a lip raise to people when he's scared. I am wondering how to correct it w/ the e collar. I have been telling him no and giving him a pop w prong collar or correction w/ e collar. I am wondering about what you said he about not doing this to a scared dog.
Do you have any videos on resource guarding bones?
Don't give him bones.
@@stayathomecichlidmom3579 lol thanks. I’m gue
@@alexandrabragg5639 lol. I have a 4.5 month old Amstaff mix female and there's been a few bones ect. That she guarded from my older dog (luckily she doesn't do this with people) Needless to say, I just take it away, never to be seen again.
