Look forward to the rest of this I have a GSD that I’m sure due to my lack of discipline never got accustomed to being alone so when my family and I leave the house he loses his mind. Both crated and not crated. Really value your advice and appreciate the amount of content you put out.
This is perfect amazing info! Keep doing what your doing!

I am noticing a reduction in my dogs anxiousness as a result of me following your videos! It has made a huge improvement in her behaviour and our relationship in general. Thanks Tom, I thank you for your advice, its making a huge difference to my dog and me.
wow, thank you!!
This is such a great video, thank you!
So glad this popped in suggestions! We have a German Shepherd that developed anxiety from a solid moment of getting out of her routine. I normally fill her food bowl in the morning, before I go to work. It was only a meeting and her feeding was delayed 2 hours. For years now, it feels like she has to have permission to eat, and we have to sit with her. Both of us have to be home for her to chew on her bone. We left town for a night, had her a sitter, and she's be awful trying to get out of the house. She got better with that over time, but she gets particular sometimes on who will walk her (mostly insisting on both of us to walk her, except just me in the mornings). It's weird, it doesn't seem to me classic anxious behavior. We have created some of the boundaries you laid out. We give her plenty of exercise. The medication part is what interested me most, our vet insisted we medicate her before her visits. She's had 6 cases where we have medicated her. Like today, we had a bad storm, and needed to get her out to potty. We thought it might help, but we've decided that this is not what we want for her. Looking forward to learning more.
Amazing information!!! Every dog owner should watch this.
I think every dog owner should listen to this. I used to create very good working dogs who were a mess. Ive learned to live my own life and they've gotten better and so have I.
Sooooo helpful! As always! My relationship with my dogs has gotten better with your videos.
Thanks so much!!1 So happy for you!
Loving your content. Huge value of information here.
Thanks Louie!! So happy you liked it!!
Great information, looking forward to seeing more of this!!
Pandora_331 THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Love your wisdom! Thanks. I'll be asking questions!
Thanks, Angela!!
I'm a first time dog owner and your informative videos have been a godsend! I've been learning a tremendous amount about better ways to understand and communicate with my new rescue. We're working through some anxiety issues (he's especially anxious around bikes and skateboarders, and seems to have a newfound case of separation anxiety). I really needed this video, Thomas! Thank you for posting this and I'm looking forward to the rest! Really eager to learn about what's driving the process and how we can mold him into a calmer dog.
Also curious about some ways to tell the difference between whether reactivity is due to anxiety vs. fear vs. wanting to chase something (a bike, for example). Thanks again for all you do!
This is BRILLIANT!
This is exsactly what i needed. i agree panzer and i depend too much on eachother. i just need to break the dependency and give him more confidence on him being alone.
Bryce Steggall thanks for watching Bryce!
To owners who have dogs with severe separation anxiety >> you did NOT cause their separation anxiety, and selfishness definitely DOES NOT cause it either. These methods may work for dogs with very mild anxiety or separation anxiety but not severe anxiety. Look up Julie Naismith who really understands separation anxiety and does not blame owners for it. Hope this helps, her videos and book have helped me with my dog :)
Exactly his explanation is so wrong on so many levels 🤣🤣🤣
This is an old video and I don’t think he is saying we are the root cause. He is talking about our common mistakes in treating it. Especially the trying to talk it out. I am getting that book though. The more quality info on this the better. His view on board and train is spot on. I try not to this unless the dog is being boarded for a reason other than training.
I appreciate you doing this. I think it would help if you repeat the questions people have since I can't hear them. Thank you!
I agree I will do it in Text, I can't do audio, I sampled that and it was way to distorted.
So fun seeing Link in the thumbnail! Thanks for working so hard and putting all this on RUclips! Great footage!!
Thanks Brittany, I appreciate that!
Great advice for me as dog owner
This deserves a lot more views..I am constantly depressed since I've had my dog. Because as you said, he is super independant, and I feel like he could very well live without me. And that makes me so sad because of all the love and money i put for him. I really need to let go and let him be..He became an anxiety ball, just like me.
But damn it's so hard to know what to do and be consistant when you're on your own. I wish I lived in US to follow your lessons.
Thanks so much Maudie!
Your videos are helping me. I believe I may be the cause of my beagles fear and anxiety. I've lost two beagles in the last 10 years. One to a dog attack while I was on a walk and the other to lymphoma cancer (both broke my heart) and I think I've become to scared as well very protective to a fault. I'm watching your videos and trying to learn and learn to calm my own fear
I've been helping out people with problem dogs using your methods. They are doing better in minutes. Luckily Amber my GSD is the mellowest I've ever had & very helpful. I've had GSD's since I was 4-1/2 &, 60 years, & I'm lucky to have found her. Two dogs today that were crazy on leash. One 3 year old male GSD one male 18 month American/English Gold Labrador Retreiver. The owners were amazed & I credited you, referencing your RUclips channel. TYVM
Thanks so much!
Thank you 🙏
We adopted a dog that was dumped in our neighborhood in March who is a German Shepherd mutt who has massive separation anxiety.
Two people who have owned wolf dogs in the past have come up to me asking if she's a wolf dog...we don't know, but she is very large for a female Shepherd, and does have some wolf markings/characteristics.
We are working on stay and place commands, but when she is in her crate alone, she goes into massive anxiety and will either shred the crate, or flip a solid steel crate to get out.
Her only goal in life seems to be my shadow and will do anything to make sure me, and my husband and kids, stay together at all times.
Hi Thomas from the UK. Massive thanks for your videos and podcasts. Jacqueline
Jacqueline Johnson thanks so much!❤️
No fair cutting off when you're just getting to the good part! Looking forward to a continuation of this.
Boogity Boo I didn’t want it to be too long!
@@tomdavisofficial - Ten minutes are about the longest you want to do, unless your doing a live session.
Interesting. Dogs are resilient but there are exceptions especially with Service Dogs . Thanks Tom,looking forward to the next part : )
Amazing video man
Hi Tom, your videos are really helpful. Thank you so much. Do you ever work in Europe?
Have you ever considered giving online consultation (Skype or other app based lessons)? I know it's still very impersonal, but I'm sure it would be helpful for many.
Tom! Do you have a video already I could check out, or maybe just advice on how to get a dog to relax around strangers? My dog is otherwise fearless, fine with fireworks, thunderstorms, being in a car or motorboat, good with all animals (dogs, cats, horses), is fine alone in the house - but she will not let strangers go near her. We've hired 3 dog trainers without any success, we've been bringing the dog everywhere, going to friends houses, to the office, dog parks, family get-togethers... it has been almost 3 years of that. What can we do to conquer the fear of people? She just skitters nervously away when anyone moves or gets off the couch. Otherwise a great, great dog!
Wow PLEASE i need to know where to find the rest of this video! How do i understand how to teach my dog to be ok without me? I don't want to be selfish and i want my dog not to have an unhealthy relationship
Did you ever film part two of this video?? Can someone paste the link to it if so? I want to be better at training my dog and MYSELF when it comes to creating anxiety. Thanks.
Hi Tom! I would like to ask you how to recognize terrotorial behavior. The main features of this behavior thanks. 🐕
I own a Doberman pinscher when he was a puppy he used to shake I visited him from 5 weeks old so just thought he was very young hence the shaking, I deposited him and he seemed to get comfortable with my and my family when we visited, but out of his litter of 13 before I picked him up when being sent videos he would shake at the vets, shake in the bath he was just nervous. For the first two year he barely exhibited any nervousness at home his confidence built in leaps and bounds. His now nearly 4 years old and in the last 6 months his been extra anxious his shaking again when we are out in crowds, his cowering from people, the other day he scared me as he was eating a child came near him and he growled his never had food aggression in his life, our cat died 10 weeks ago whom was here before him and since then he has been whining 80% of the day I have a vulnerable in the home who has cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound who now is starting to feel uneasy noticing the dog is more on edge, but the more they go on the edge the more uneasy our dogs body language looks as I know the dog can sense the restlessness within his pack. I took him to the vet to rule out any physical and my vet looked at my boy like he was monstrous because I explained he had growled and snapped when a child went near him and his food, this made me feel disheartened as the vet did not really provide answers she just told me if it’s anxiety based then that makes for a dangerous unpredictable dog outside of his anxiety his super loving and he has done so well thus far I’m not certain what to do.
any chance you can give some tips on managing a dog that is territorially aggressive? with things like toys, food, and crate?
*I wish I could being my pup to you bc I hander gotten him to chill a good bit since rescuing him, BUT I can't leave him home alone bc he'll jump through any window, and also.... if he's on his chain outside and spots a wild animal, or a loud vehicle going by, he will run FULL FORCE and yank himself and a lot of times, to the point that he'll flip himself! I have a shock collar. ...which I've used it a couple times when i first got it years ago on the lowest setting and since then I've only had to use the beeper.... but nothing matters when he's on that chain and gets hyped up!!!! I pray you read this and can help me somehow bc in so afraid he's going to get hurt!! And he's never outside unless I'm out with him, so I try to hold him back if anything is around but if he's not at reach, obviously he runs! I have trained him a lot since getting him, but I have a huge feeling whoever had him before might have been abusive with him, but also I can def tell he was never ever trained with obedience i other than being potty trained! My pup is my baby and we're super close, but these are the two things idk wth to do about!!*
I have a Boston Terrier, Luna, and she is about 4 years old (I’ve had her since pup). She was raised with another older Boston Terrier, Ziggy (mom’s dog), and everything was fine for about 2 years. Then I move into a house while in college and can bring Luna with me because I have a yard and dog door. She would go to doggy day care about 3-4 times a week or have other friends with dogs come over to play along with daily walks.
Shortly after moving, I came back to visit my mom, Luna attacked Ziggy when Ziggy yelped... Could not get Luna to let go of Ziggy who did nothing wrong and would never hurt a fly. Kept the dogs separated from that point on (gate so Luna could still be ‘around’ Ziggy).
An incident happened later when I went back home from visiting my mom.. I am back at my house holding Luna outside out front and a dog not on a leash came out of no where and bit Luna on her butt while I was holding her... needed stitches and left a scar. I noticed she became nervous around dogs.
Then my mom was asked to take in Luna’s sister (same litter) and of course she did. Luna attacked her sister Hope when Hope yelped... and same thing, could not get Luna to let go of Hope.
Fast forward sometime, Luna and I are back home on a walk and a dog came out of no where while on our walk and came running up to us. I tried to grab the dog while kneeling on Luna because I thought the dog was nice and didn’t want Luna to start anything with this random dog but turns out the dog wanted to go after Luna. I was not going to let Luna get killed because it was a HUGE dog... I ended up getting attacked (almost lost my pinky and huge bite scars on my thigh) during the process.
After all of these different events, Luna will flip like a switch. Nice one min and attacking then next. I think that Luna does have hereditary anxiety (after having her sister Hope for a while). Luna LOVES people and she does not worry me the least bit around people but when she is around other dogs I do not trust her. I have tried to work with her as much as I can but I am at a lost because nothing is seeming to work for Luna to not flip like a switch. I want Luna to have other dog friends again and I want to trust my dog again... any tips or possibly any videos you have on this? I know this is a lot of information and I tried my best to condense it.. I just found your page and will be watching more of your videos. Thank you!
My pup has separation anxiety.. she's a rescue and had it so bad that one of the rescue places told the vet to put her down! Thankfully a vet tech stepped in and said she'd take her until a new rescue came to get her in two weeks. She's on a low dose of meds and I'd really like her to get off of them. Some days she'll be fine when I put her in the crate and other days she goes nuts the minute I shut the door. She gets a frozen Kong filled with various things to try and help her.. I'm working with her to get her to just chill and leave for various amounts of time (from what I've seen on numerous RUclips videos). Any other tips or ideas? Love the videos btw!
Do you think a board and train situation is best for an older dog (11), with anxiety and arthritic hips?
I have a question for you about my anxious border collie mix. He’s almost 6 months and I plan on having him neutered but I’ve been reading that neutering an anxious dog will make the anxiety and nervousness worse. I’ve never heard this before. Thoughts?
This is gret information but what about anxiety in blind dogs? I recently adopted a blind dog and while he's adjusting, he won't stop barking while I'm gone.
I need the rest of the story!!! Are you coming to Virginia anytime soon? I have a newfie I love to bits but he’s kind of a jerk, (probably my fault, I know, but he’s been this way since we got him at 9 weeks old, and my other ISN’T a jerk, but a normal newfie, making me think some of it is just HIM!) At 150 pounds, a dog can’t be a jerk and spend time around grandkids, other dogs, the GENERAL PUBLIC...
Where can I hear the rest of this video on anxiety. I'm having trouble leaning about my dog. We have a big problem and I had no idea until I heard this, but it cuts off.... I really need help on where to go to help my 12 yo golden lab. He has so much anxiety that we have created.
Where can I find a list of your seminars if you have any?
I post 3-7 times about any and all seminars on all my socials, so as long as you follow me you will know.
My dog has too much anxiety, he react almost everytime he hears a noise, i think its because he stays a lot of time alone in the back yard, now that im in university, when im home i try to spend the most time with him and when im with him inside home he is 7/10 dog, he does really good at home
I have a question! My 2 year old GSD and my 5 year old GSD used to go on walks all the time with no issues. Lately my 2 year old has been fighting with my 5 year old over just about anything. Some people say to let them fight it out, but it’s really scary to watch. How can we stop this fighting?
Could you help us with our “monsters”? Purebred ACD that MUST herd our child and a pit-bull mix that charges everyone. And...dogs are dependent on each other. We’ve hired trainers, behaviorists, vets...
Ok so my little chihuahua latte injured himself early last week. The vet said he had pulled or strained his lower back and prescribed anti inflammatory and some pain killers. His still a bit sore but is finally starting to heal! However now a new problem has come up his starting to show signs of anxiety in the mornings...He’ll pant and shake and pace, which makes breakfast time quite stressful. So far the only thing that helps is bringing him into our bedrooom and playing some calming music. However even though this helps eventually his still not his normal chipper self... Any tips would be amazing as we hate seeing himself so worked up and anxious 😞😞
Hi!
My question is about my dog eating stones. What I've tried is to tire him out by running and mental training, correcting him when he tries to go for stones to eat, being at the vet for a blood test to see if he is missing any minerals. I'm thinking about neutering him to see if it helps, but id rather not.
I've had dogs my entire life and he's well trained, he always listens to me, but when it comes to the stones he goes in this weird mode when he refuses to open his mouth, sometimes he just keeps the stones in his mouth for a very long time, and sometimes he swallows them. He usually throws it up, or poops it out. And sometimes there is alot, like two handfull.
We have a son who's almost 1½, do you think this can have anything to do with it? When he was a puppy he was with me at my work site alot, and there was thousands of tons of stones. He used to run around and play in it, but he never ate it. Can that have anything do to with it? It's a Staffordshire bullterrier. I know dogs can die from this, so i would really appreciate any help.
Thanks for a great channel!
My dog is a rescue Female German Shepherd she is 4 years old and has had a ton of anxiety since i got her Walks are her most anxious time any tips to help me get her more comfortable
I've got a very anxious hound. I adopted her from the shelter and we know she was a stray for a while. She is very happy in her crate and typically doesn't leave unless I ask her to come out for a walk. She will not eat on walks or outings- she'll only eat in her crate. She gets very nervous outside (but she also loves getting to smell all the things) and if there's a noise or something moving that isn't a bunny, she goes into panic mode trying to hide. I usually try to keep her walking so she has something to do. Is that helping her or is there something else I can do to help her trust herself, trust me, and fully enjoy her time outside? She does LOVE dogs, so I'm trying to give her doggy friends and walks with other dogs go much better (her tail actually wags!)
How do you stop fence fighting/ barking with the neighbours dogs?
❤️
love!
Hi I’m macey, I have a 9 month old female pit bull. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to work on her. She is afraid of strangers. She’s fine around me and my family but soon as someone comes that she doesn’t know she gets scared. It’s not horrible and there’s no barking or anything but if they go to pet her she runs. And I’ve socialized her her whole life. When she had her shots at 2 months old she was going places and then she was fine. And then when she hit around 3/4 months old she started to become scared of strangers. When I take her out she’s fine until someone goes to pet her and she goes to the other end of the leash trying to get away. I would just love to be able to take her places without her being scared. And I want to put a good image for the breed and be able for her to enjoy attention from everyone. It would be great if you could give me some help!
I have a male dog 1yr and he has been picking and choosing to bark and swing back/bite people one day but next day is fine I have took him to training but he is still doing this could you tell me how to help him?
How do I get my dog to stop depending on me? I have worked a ton with her but she came to me at 2 years old and we’ve made a lot of progress but she was severely abused and passed on from home to home because no one could handle her. With all the training I have done with her, she still always seems like she has the need to be everyone I go and would live perfectly happy laying in my lap 24/7 if I would let her, but of course that’s not a healthy relationship. She does really great with confidence building exercises but eventually resorts back to living on top of my heals. I wonder if she is one of those dogs that may never be completely “fixed” but managed.
I have a neighbor that got a shelter dog. She treats it like a fragile creature because she feels bad for it because it was neglected.
It’s anxious and leash reactive because she put unnecessary stress on it. The dog doesn’t know is anything is wrong but it’s being told there’s something wrong with it.
I have a 1 year old husky which it's very food agresive. What can I do about it?
Hi Tom, I have a 11 weeks old Shihtzu. She has fear issues e.g. she is very wary when meeting new dogs, taking her outside of our house. Please help
How can we get your one one help please
My dog is afraid 😨 of the sunlight on the ground.. she is constantly super hyper and that's with training.. my dog trainer wants me to put her on prozac.. i walk her 4 miles a day and trainer her everyday and she has so much pent up energy i don't know what I'm doing wrong?
Were are u located
My dog wont touch dry dog food. She used to be fine but now she wont. I dont know how to get her back into it?
Please help someone ! I have a 2 yr Chihuahua i got from a shelter a month ago.she is so scary she don’t take treats from your hand , don’t play , don’t like walks , run if you get close idk what to do .i took her to the vet and no health issues.How can i make her more comfortable 😫
Question, my dog gets really bad anxiety whenever I leave the house he starts howling, crying what do you think is the cause of that
😊♥️
Ah, Asshole. the very firt thing your vid did was scare my dod with the noise you put in there. Nice work!
Is biting on my other dog's collar a sign of dominance or anxiety?
Or hearding him cuz she's a working dog but I have tried giving her something to heard goats, chickens may not have been the best idea but she fine tell they flap their wings the goats she went for the neck
Help.... We are a danish family so excuse our spelling😉
Our 18 month German Shepherd hates driving, realy hate. As a puppy she used to get sick and wommit but we are not sure thats the real problem anymore. More like Pavlov behaiviour🤔we have to carry her into the car and she druwls a lot. We can make her jump i to the back seat but not into the back. We have a car with a big trunk and she can sit and watch the outsider. Please send some expert adwise to Denmark🙏🙏
I’m trying to save this dog I rescued and I’m having a hard time with training, but the vet recommends Prozac because she has aggression and has bit several people! I don’t know her history and is there any books or videos I can help? I don’t really believe in shock collars and many trainers believe this! I’m just frustrated in finding the right trainer that works!!!! Or techniques that works!
Katie Landis don’t use shock collars or any kind of pain inflicting “training” methods! They just cause further psychological damage to your dog. I would take your vet’s advice about the Prozac. You use it short term to help your dog’s training progress then usually they can come off it. Look for the words force free and positive training when looking for trainers. Good luck, your dog is lucky to have you! :)
Hello, I sent an email about my extreme thunderstorm panicking golden retriever asking for help or a tip (it's all explained in the mail), so if you can look at it and maybe help, I'd be really grateful, thanks in advance.
We have totally messed up our dog! So, are you saying not to speak at all when leaving?
Kelly Nassirian does it create stress and anxiety when you leave?
Upstate Canine Academy Yes!!!
The Stanford shire that I adopted his nipped 3 people how do I stop this
Find a dog trainer in your city.
I have found bill grimmer I am taking her to see him at the end of May when he is back from Bahamas
I wanted to watch, but the music and sound effects were way too irritating.
Please remove the " siren " sound from your intro and endings! My pets hate it and Id hate to miss your info because of that sound.
So much bullshit packed in one video ... A dog trainer right ? Lol 😝 What the hell is going on with those people to actually believe the crap he tries to tell us ? A dog is not a bunny - its a pack animal ! It needs the safety of not being on its own ! It sure needs consequent training,rules and exercises and those are the most important things but the healthy way of natural depending is so important for them to feel safe! I can see dogs get more anxious if they think they’ll have to protect themselves because theres noone there who protects him/her !
Very bad to say so !
