I am a member. Can you give any tips on training strong, hard working bred GSD. I use punishment, with all my dogs [A great many in the 50+ years I've constantly had a dog or 3]. at the level appropriate to the individual. But I'm struggling to be hard enough for THIS dog. I cannot convince her NOT to kill cats. She hasn't caught one yet, but "loses it" even if there might be one around!! NO trainers here. Scottish island.
Where can I get a few of the leashes in this video?
I watch your videos and have learned a lot about my dog's behavior. I love the way you explain things. You make it sound so easy but in reality its not. Our Barry needs work especially with reactivity when he sees other dogs or cars.
I am kinda of a hands on person. I have watched millions of videos including your short cuts. I need one on one instruction. You website gives no way of knowing about your personal training, where you are or how to speak with you.
I've heard so many people say you're a bad dog owner if you don't let your dog sniff everything on walks! Thank you for debunking that! Sometimes I just want to exercise my dog and myself!
Sniffing is a big part of a dogs behavior. It's their super power detecting the environment etc. You can train the dog to walk with you and then allow them on command "go sniff". It's still important to allow your dog to SNIFF
They said sometimes...we can't stop them from sniffing, but 1 hour to get around the block is unacceptable
Obedience Dog trainer here, I love your videos! I see you as a mentor and love listening to your podcasts on hikes and walks! I have helped so many clients because of you! Educating me on the e-collar was by far a big step toward for my relationship with my dog. I feel like you’ve made me become more in touch with my dog and help me understand more of the anxiety side of things and why things happen. Being apart of the no bad dog army has changed my life! It’s nice to apart of a non toxic community and I appreciate you for making that happen. Keep doing your thing! Thanks again!
wow, thank you so much Karina . An honor to provide this for you and your dog.
READ meet your dog by Kim Brophey or take her LEGS program. This will enlighten you further. All dog professionals and dog owners
I am also happy that Tom said "Everyone tries everything until they've done it right". A lot people have that attitude when it comes to working with their dogs, and it doesn't only to apply dog trainer. What a brilliant trainer!!
Thanks so much for the feedback!
RUN THOSE LIKES UP NO BAD DOG ARMY! ❤️👍🏻
Just want to say thank you for being an advocate for the prong and E-collar! I have literally had clients break down into tears after using a prong and realizing that they can have a great relationship with their dog without getting dragged down the road, getting an arm broken when they get pulled down ect... They are amazing tools when used correctly and can save and change lives! So thank you for being such a great advocate for the usage of tools that work! Love watching your videos, you have helped me improve some of my own techniques and picking out body language as a trainer too, keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the feedback! Happy to educate people on how to use tools.
I was uneducated about prongs when I got my first pitbull. My trainer highly recommended one but I was still skeptical. I did my own research and decided it was a good tool when used correctly and decided to give it a try. My dog is a completely different dog when she has it on during our walks. It’s amazing.
@@KO-zi2xf absolutely! I have had so many clients over the years come in to a class being literally towed behind their dog. I have had quite a few clients come in after having an arm or hip broken because they were pulled down while trying to walk their dog... people offten come to me when they are at a point of being ready to give their dog up because they can't even walk them. So many have been made to feel bad for using a prong or have been fed so much incorrect info about the tool that they are super apprehensive about using it. Then they do and it is absolutely life changing! I'm so tired of seeing people judged and ridiculed for using a tool that has given them a whole new and amazing relationship with their dog. That is one of the reasons I love seeing the positive ways that Tom is showing just how great and effective proper tool usage is. People need to stop shaming dog owners for using the prong and e-collar.
@@un-lady-like sooo..I just got back from the pet store to return the extra prongs I bought today. The 16 year old cashier who is apparently a dog guru tried to lecture me about why these are bad and went out of her way to tell me she would never use one. Couldn’t believe it.
@@KO-zi2xf lol, everyone's an expert!
I always love seeing when a dog's confidence is boosted. That boosts the owners confidence and they both win. Thanks for changing so many relationships and as always showing how tools help with that communication.
win win!!!
Man what a difference! Love the owners open mindedness about tools and corrections from you to her ❤️. Hardest part of training a dog is training the handler 🤣
Yep!
Such a scared little thing nice to see you warm her playing ball and caring
As I'm sure many people in the comments section have said, I thank you for showing us how to correctly use an ecollar, as it is a total game changer when used at the right moments and levels. In my journey training my fear reactive 9 month old cattle dog, I've found my voice, the ecollar, and a lot of good treats to be a complete game changer in taking a dog who spent many months barking at any new person or dog, desperately trying to get them to go away, and helping her become happy and confident enough to be touched by new people or sniffed at by other dogs.
Never gets old :)
I think your channel is one of fews that actually use the words 'accountability', which is SO IMPORTANT. And not even humans are aware of it.
Just because you know something, doesn't mean you will always do it reliably. And being accountable for your failures and keep yourself on track is so definitely the main point in any training.
I have had my dog for over 2 years now and she has been attacked at least 5 times by dog that have been off leash. My dog has been very fearful since, but when I started watching these videos and I have learned so much and now I'm using the prong collar or slip lead and it has changed my relationship with my dog and helped her so much with her reactivity and fear. My relationship with my dog has never been better. Thank you so much.
it's so cool how you can help a dog that was going to be put down and turned their life around with love and compassion you rock so much dogs are very lucky to have someone like you that can help them and their owners in need and teach the owners how to do it the right way🐕
Tom’s the 🐐, changed my dogs life.
THANK YOU, STEVEN!
You have changed my dogs and my life!! The relationship we have now is amazing,, she used to be the dog in this video but with your help and some structure she is thriving!! Currently saving up for the e collar now🙌🙌
SO happy for you!
EC training has changed mine and my dogs life for the better! I rescued my Great Pyr mix at around 9mo old and was completely clueless to anything regarding fear aggression, resource guarding, proper leash walking, etc. I keep up with your tik tok and RUclips but definitely get the most relatable info from the consultations you do on the podcasts (plus they’re easy to listen to on the way to work.) Thank you for consistently providing K9 perspective, endless outlets to reach more owners, and education on what are considered by some as “controversial training methods”. My dog and I have a better quality of life because of trainers like you. NBD !!!
So happy for you, Jill!
This RUclips channel is the best and the only tips I use to help my German Shepherd. Thank you Tom!
Happy for you!
Tom’s videos are SO informative, accessible, and encouraging. I can’t stop watching and learning! Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and strategies!!
Thanks so much for watching!
I've learnt so much more from Tom in the last few months, than I have from any trainers or behaviourists that I've gone to, or trainers on RUclips. The information he gives has changed the lives of my dogs as well as mine.
I couldn't say thank you enough !!!
TOM DAVIS IS AMAZING ! I HAVE PERSONALLY HAVE SUGGESTED SEVERAL OWNERS TO HIM SO THEY HAVE WELL ADJUSTED WELL ROUNDED DOGS FROM FEARFUL OR SEMI AGGRESSIVE DOGS !!! I LOVE THE MIND SET NO BAD DOGS !
the tail wag at 11:45 KILLED ME :,) she seemed so shyly proud of herself. very cute
Meee tooooo
Tom Davis does it again. You seriously cannot get any more solid when it comes to dog training than this guy. Has totally changed the way I train dogs and my philosophy. Tools save lives- I firmly believe it.
Thanks so much, Kristyn!
Working with Tom to learn how to build confidence with my fearful dog has been a game changer for both my dog and I! Structure and confidence has given him so much freedom and life! In our journey I've learned more about training and have been able to help other handlers, and educate on the amazing benefits and freedom that prongs and ecollars provide!!
Thanks Tom for the clarification between the top ring and dead ring on the prong collars. I got my 75lb husky/shepherd cross a Herm Sprenger prong collar a couple months back. As a small woman, I was having troubles controlling him when he would get excited on walks. He would always want to greet other people and dogs which is not always appropriate depending on the situation. My trainer told me to clip the leash to both rings, since my dog isn't aggressive. However, I've noticed that he often doesn't respond to corrections on the leash and now I know why. Thank you for this great educational video. I always learn so much.
I finally bought Tom’s slip lead and I will be getting more! BEST SLIP LEAD I have EVER used! 🤩
NO BAD DOGS! Tom Davis is a Legend !!!!! Thank you!!!
11:44 gave me such a smile. Look at her tail go! Mollys owner and Tom were such champions for her confidence.
my same reaction, my same opinion. Thank all of you !
My dog is so very nervous and fearful, but it's totally random and getting more frequent. For over a year I've been trying to find the triggers but I haven't found a single consistency. Her basic obedience is pretty solid, but when she gets fearful she shuts down to the point where I don't think she even registers my voice or leash pressure. I adopted her as an adult and she wasn't socialized well or trained well with her previous family. She's extremely reactive after being attacked several times (she used to love other dogs). I have an appointment with a vet behaviorist tomorrow to try and help her. It breaks my heart to see her so scared when I can't figure out why. I hope we can figure something out for her.
You provide and give so much knowledge and direction.. how you keep the content fresh and not repetitive. Not just a different dog but different situations and customize your training techniques depending on the dog and owner and behavior that needs attention….you have without a doubt helped redefine the meaning and understanding of what is it to have a relationship with your dog
A true legend and master of your craft
Thank You !
Thanks so much!!
Love how you really go into detail explaining the different tools and why you use each. This video was so helpful too showing why building confidence and security in the relationship with the dog through obedience is key!
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much!
Another great video! Thanks to Molly and her handler for allowing us to benefit.
Thanks so much for watching!
Molly is such a sweet girl 🥰🥰🥰. Good job Molly. Anxiety is tough!
Dave has changed my relationship with my dog, this channel is so informative and pushes you to want to do better. Thank you for the videos and all that you do !!
Best teainer ever!! I have used all your tips on my reactive dog, and on us since we also have some fault, and we have improved sooo mich!!! She is now able to take full walks, and she even decides to greet people when she is more comfortable, is rare when she is reactive!!! We feel more relaxed now!!! Thanks!!!!!
Absolutely love being a part of the No Bad Dogs army. It’s the people that need the training and education, not the dogs. I tell everyone that Tom Davis is by far the #1 dog educator I’ve come across and is the first I recommend to watch and listen to. It’s a continuous “work in progress” for me to build my relationship better with my two doggos, but they are and forever will be worth the effort and time to retrain me ;) can’t thank you enough for sharing the knowledge through different platforms, huge help! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I agree that this is by far the best training I've found on YT. Thank you times 100.
I loved what you said about the harness.Everything is perception, gentle leaders, harnesses etc can do more damage than a correctly used prong or ecollar.
100%%
Greetings from Bulgaria! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
Your videos and training continue to teach me every day.
HAPPY THIS HELPS!
It took me only 2 days to get my to do thing that’s she’s never done before. I’m so glad I found Davis he has helped me build a better bond with my dog. She has trouble off leash though. I’m hoping that I win the E-collar because she always runs off into a street and I’m afraid that she’s going to get hit by a car. If she does my parents don’t have the money to pay for any surgery but with the E-collar I have a opportunity to reduce the chances of her getting hit.
I love seeing the dogs open up and feel more confident
I am a strong advocate for force free training and have seen many people progress with their fearful and reactive dogs from it, but even small "corrective" actions we've taken with my severely reactive dog have shown so much improvement. We are working with a trainer now, who had us start walking him on a martingale instead of a harness and he has already shown improvement. I am pretty sure she is going to move us to a prong soon, which I would've been totally against before but it is hard to argue with the results we are starting to see.
Thank you for showing so many people that every dog has different needs and those needs can only be met by the right equipment. There’s no one size fits all for dogs which is why there is different equipment out there to fulfill all dogs!
I just recently saw your prong collar on a balloon video and it was a great example on how non abusive the prong collar is when used properly. Keep up the good work and NO BAD DOGS 4LIFE 🤘🤘🤘
Also I used your advice from when you trained Hawkins on the focused heel and it’s coming all together
Happy it's helped!
I just want to say Thank You! Showing us how to utilize tools (ie prongs, ecollars) changed my life and my dog’s. When I found your videos, my dog had been to training school and he did great. But he just doesn’t care about treats in the real world. And him not being able to recall at dog parks and etc just gave myself so much anxiety. So, thank you!
Thanks so much for watching :))
About a year ago when my bro decided to get a sport/activity dog, that has very high level of energy, I was quite sceptical of our knowledge and skill about dogs, and he was only watching what this breed is capable of. I was kinda afraid that we aren't able to give the dog what it needs to be wealthy. So I stumbled on this channel. And a year later now we both learned leadership and how to act with a animal. I've learned sooo much, that I have the feeling that we took the dog from a trainer. I'm amazed and thankful for what you guys are doing, so keep improving cuz its totally worth the time and effort!
Thanks!
You have no idea how much of your vid change me and my dog life from across the globe . Thank you and thank you from my dogsss❤🧡
That sad face broke my heart 💔! Tom's training gave this sad girl a chance for a HAPPY life 😊, and an ADVENTURE-FILLED one, too. For the owner, too!
It's like he unlocked 🗝 the door, and let them out of jail 🕊.
It’s amazing to see such a big difference in a short amount of time!!!
Congrats bro you really “speak dog’s language”!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Love all things tom Davis you are the best!
Tom you are the goat! Love the work you do it’s made me change my goal from a vet to a dog trainer(aka human trainer) hope to help make every dogs life better!
This video is perfect timing for me! Just adopted a 10 month old German shepherd husky mix a couple days ago. She is afraid of everything outside. Thanks for the video!
Love how you are able to break that pup out of her shell ❤️
Man, before finding Tom's videos i was completely against ecollars but now i couldnt imagine life without one.
Thank you for being such a good advocate for balanced training without shying away from using tools just cause some people dont fully understand their potential
I just came from another video where it took five days for the owner to get their new shelter dog to wag their tail, under the shelter's trainer. In five minutes, I saw you read a similar dog, and take them gently to a happier state of mind. Wow, just wow! You're like with "one" with understanding dogs - a jedi master!
Thank u for being so generous with your expertise Tom, I can’t even tell you how many people I send your media profiles to. I feel super grateful to be such an informed pet parent and it’s thanks to you and videos like these that allow the no bad dogs army to not feel alone and hopeless in their struggles and keep going for our fur babies. And also just accept our animals for what they are, animals, and not push unrealistic expectations onto them!
You're work is truly inspiring! Every time I cross with someone that is skeptical about these tools or criticizes me for wearing them, besides trying to explain I tell them they should check your chanel to be better informed about how they can be so life changing for dogs and their families! And it's so true what you said about everyone has tried everything until they do it the right way, most people don't know how to properly use the tools or have good foundations for the tools to make that much of a difference. Thanks for advocating for dogs no matter what :)
Thanks, Raquel :)
This owner is Great! She got the right help
I work at a shelter, I have referred many people to watch your videos. We have used your techniques to change many reactive dogs lives. Thank you so much for saving these dogs that you do.
Really loved you explaining issues with the harness in this one
Thanks for watching!
I think I watched a video of yours from like over 4 years ago and thought you were a bit of a tool in that video, then saw this as the next video. You’re so much nicer here and it shows. Glad to see the training get more positive and nicer with dogs
Great techniques in dealing with fearful dogs!! For sure is life changing to ensure these dogs don’t live in fear forever.
Love watching your videos because in every one i learned something new
I have a pup who’s so anxious in a parking lot, he’s not engaged w me. Thank you for reminding me to bring the fun and joy help him lighten up!
This video was soo helpful for me! Our dog has had very very little social time because of Covid. We hot him in February of 2020. He is sooo afraid of loud things outside and retreats home immediately! I really pray this will help us.
Your videos helped me make the choice to use a prong collar and an e collar on my reactive Weimaraner.
You completely showed me the “bad stigma” is incorrect about these tools! They are humane and safe for our dogs.
These tools have completely changed our relationship as Jade now understands what I am trying to communicate. The e collar has also given Jade and I so much freedom.
We hike off leash (she is not dog aggressive). And I know that I will be able to get her back if she gets a scent and bolts. The e collar is our seatbelt!! Her recall is impeccable now we use the e collar. She knows I can touch her from afar. You should see how happy she gets when her tools come out. She knows it’s adventure time!
I rescue Weimaraner’s so I have 3. My goal is to get my other two on e collars so we can all communicate and hike off leash together. ❤️
Happy to help :)
Thank you for being so generous and willing to share your knowledge and wisdom with us "laypeople". I can already feel the joy coming back to our relationship with our dogs!
Happy for you, thanks for watching Layla
I love that you explain how certain tools can be used in certain situations and have great results, but in others they don't work the best. It serves as a reminder to keep an open mind when picking training tools. Amazing work, Tom. Keep it up! 👌
Thanks so much for the feedback!
My Family and I have a fearful dog that we adopted from the local dog shelter. Watching your videos and pong collar training our dog has been a huge help. Our next step is e-collar training. Thank you for your work! - Josh Riffle
Thanks for watching, Josh
@@tomdavisofficial I realize that you cannot tell if someone is being honest over comments on youtube but I mean this when I say this…. keep posting and I will keep watching and learning. Your videos really do help.
Again another valuable video from you Tom. I'm getting ready to work with a lady that got a pom mix a year ago from a hoarding situation and is very horribly fearful of everthing. They took a year to get her to be comfortable with them, to come and to be touched by them. So they have made some progress. But she wants to walk the dog for the exercise she knows he needs. He is so afraid of the leash she can't get one on. Your video reminds me of something's I need to focus on. Thanks again
Tom you rock!!! Thanks to you I’m much happier with my dogs. You’re the best.
I look forward to watching the full content on the No Bad Dogs Official Club.
I enjoy all of these videos. Tom is never rude to owners. Even if they just don’t get it. He’s firm when necessary, but not condescending. He teaches…teaches… 💜
By the way it was awesome how Molly move the tail wit her owner and with Thomas: Totally diferent. Congratulations to both and Molly as well.
It's so hard not to coddle and protect ur doggo when they seem fearful, but all its doing is reinforcing that they should be afraid. This was such a great education on how to work with a nervous dog
My own dog doesn't do chill walks. We do either stop and sniffs or exercise walks lol we have to take stop and sniff breaks. I have to remember that dogs need breaks!
Aww what an adorable little baby. Im glad she's getting excited about training.
I love the way she lit up with the ball! Such a great video AS ALWAYS!
I just love when you take the leash and magic happens. Just beautiful
The camera angles when you were explaining how the prong works is 🔥
Glad you liked them lol
So cute when she was sitting on his lap at the end!! Both my rottie and mastiff do this
Thank you so much for being a support for all of us here and sharing your knowledge. It has been extremely helpful for me. I have 3 GSD'S.. You rock Tom!!! Keep being you.
Thanks for wacthing! :)
I love how much you explain things to your clients!
So rewarding to see a fearful dog grow more confident and happy. Play is such a great way to do that.
New facility looks awesome!
I wish more people praised their dogs when they do what we ask of them. Tom, great knowledge share and advice in this video.
Thanks so much!
Your mindset has helped me so much with my anxious and reactive dachshund!! It has also helped me grow my communication with my 2 German shepherds. Thank you!!!
I continue to love your content as a fellow dog trainer.
Thank you, I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I have a one-year-old German Shepherd and want him be as successful as possible. Your videos have educate me a lot
I’ve been nonstop watching your videos, I love them. I just started trying to train my parents dog because she never really had that training and your videos are very helpful. Keep up the great videos :)
Thanks so much!
I feel like this isn’t really talked about enough! Most owners are just ooohh it’s okay and just baby talk them and it gets the dog no where and that’s when the anxiety meds go in and just further down the road more problems so thank you!! Thank you for this wonderful video
Love your videos! They have helped so much. I foster dogs and they come with unknown pasts, sometimes have reactivity, separation anxiety, have never walked on a leash before and often resource guarding. Your videos have given me so many tools and have educated me so much. I feel like I am better equipped to set them up for success so that they can be adopted and have success in their new homes.
Thank you so much you’ve taught me a lot. I would like to learn more about how you got into dog training
Check out my podcast
Awww, I wish this team well, both seem so sweet. I would love to see you follow up with some of your previous clients. Both those who have succeeded and those who are still struggling.
Came here from tik Tok and your informational videos are very helpful with people who are afraid to use an e-collar on their dog. I believe they can be extremely useful as long as they are used properly!
It’s so refreshing to see a trainer who doesn’t limit themselves to only issuing one training method or not using certain tools. I feel like you truly customize what tools are use for every dog to best help that dog with its issues.
I have wanted to get one of these collars for my German shepherd because I know the difference and connection it will allow us to have! I hope one day I will be able to try it for myself! The way you explain the use of equipment and the actual truth behind it is amazing I wish more people would be able to understand it in the way you advocate about it! Love your videos and keep it up ☺️👍 love from Alberta Canada from me and my pup Riggs 🐶
My dane has benefited immensley from private classes at UCA, now that I have his allergies taken care of and he can focus more, I will be starting group classes with him, as well as additional private lessons. Tried to train him myself when everything was shut down due to covid but info on the internet/social media dog breed pages proved to be accurate on rare occasions. UCA proved to be the best of the best!
No bad dog army going strong! Love everything you do Tom Davis!!
Great video Tom, good work! Keep them coming!
Thanks, David!
You help so many owners and dogs. Much appreciation to you and for all you do.
knowing it's all about the content but i love your video style. very stylish!
This was one of the most useful videos yet!!! I can't wait for those slip leashes to come back into stock!
Soon!
Thank you for all you do for your advocacy for dogs and in the help you give to all of us.
