This was an excellent video. Dog and owners both learned how to communicate appropriately. Tom, your diagnosis was spot on! No messing around, straight into positive solutions. The owners and Henry will be much happier and more relaxed now in their new home. Congratulations to everyone!
Such a great video. I really appreciate when we see small dog sessions. We foster small dogs through a rescue and when we go to the dog park, often, most people think its OK to have a small dog jumping and barking. But, honestly, its not. Its not good for the dog, the owner or anyone else in the park. Regardless of size, all dogs need guidance, leadership and training. This video is just that. Thank you.
This could be my exact story!!! Thank you for sharing! Also, thank you for showing a little dog, it's a completely different way of moving with them on the leash since they're smaller
Terriers are some of my favorite dogs to train because while they have such an intensity all across the board that can make it very hard to work through (high pain tolerance, hyper fixation, etc), once you break through with them its like all the switches are firing at such a quick rate. They live for work and LOVE structure, in fact, they thrive on it. I love working with them.
What good owners and such an awesome little terrier! It was great to see the turnaround and how much more calm Henry’s mind became over the course of the weekend Love seeing these powerful transformations.
An amazing video! I’m don’t see small, aggressive dogs very often so this level of reactivity was really surprising, about a ferocious ankle biter! How impressive that Henry’s owners and rescuers persisted in trying to give him a better life by bringing him to Tom. Using vibration right from the start to interrupt the reactivity was another surprise I didn’t see coming and wow, did that ever work well! Kudos to Tom for thinking outside the training box and many more kudos to these dedicated owners. This is a very satisfying turnaround to watch. NBDA 😊
Hi Tom, I really thought you were in trouble with this little dog but your training results were amazing and I think the owners were really impressed with the results. Thanks Gerry from Melbourne Australia
OMG thank you for the small terrier mix video. I have a bully/pit/staffy/acd/chihuahua/rat terrier. 1yr old and the walks have been a struggle for us because of his reactivity.
Another great video! That little dog was not easy to handle and he made so much progress in a short time . A huge thanks to his owners for allowing us to all benefit from this.
I have a dog that has severe reactivity on the leash, almost identical to Henry, but with far more barking. I was feeling really dismayed when I bought a remote collar because It was like it didn't faze him at all. I have no idea why it didn't dawn on me to hold the button on the pager, but it is definitely something I'm excited to try out. Thank you so much for all of your videos and education Tom!
“Figured out the recipe.” That’s exactly right. Great wording. I’m getting to the point where I can pinpoint other dogs’ issues now lol! 😂 I’m a mini Tom Davis myself now!!!! 😂
Ya, a video with a small dog, and a terrier no less! Many people think that because a dog is small it doesn't need to be trained properly. I especially liked the end of the video where you're showing the dog on the treadmill. I feel that so many behavioral issues are from a dog not getting enough physical and mental exercise.
There isn't one small dog in this area that the owner has spent the time to train. They cause the most problems especially when they are allowed off leash which is almost constantly. Had very negative affect on my GSD. NOW he will go after them and I know the outcome will not be good. This was a great vid addressing this issue, bravo to you guys!
This is exactly it. Small dogs get away with murder, almost literally, and everyone will be 'oh well, that's just a small dog, so it's fine'. Until the larger dog who gets frustrated by them reacts.....
@@EvelineUK Yes! I have had so many little dogs come and have a go at my GSD's and the owners invariably say "oh, its because... your dog is on a lead" or "...they don't like big dogs" or (the routine) "a GSD attacked them once and now they don't like them"... there's always an excuse for the fact that their little dog is out of control and being aggressive in my dogs face - while MY dog is on the lead by my side! I've even had one (cockapoo) biting my dog and when I put my hand down to push it away, it bit right through and broke my finger! I was trying to save its life in case my dog decided he'd had enough and bit back. Some people even laugh when their little dog is attacking my huge one! I want to say "is it okay if I let him off now so he can have his turn?"
So much appreciate all if the training videos. I have a small dog. She is for the most part very responsive to me. I admit I'm still need work to learn recalls. She will at times ignore me. Even in the house. ❤️ Love dogs! It's a beautiful thing each I time I witness success with individual issues. NO BAD DOGS!🐾💙
That dog is absolutely adorable. Small dogs can be wonderful. If they are just trained. These guys got this dog and trained. But now they’ve worked with him and that’s great. He probably would not have had to be a rescue if the first people would’ve trained him.
Ya I share this with a lot of clients. I work with so many dog where this IS the issue. Love how you communicate with your clients. Thanks Tom! You rock!
What a brilliant little dog, I love working with terriers! One thing I have observed, with leash reactive dogs like this, using a head collar on them seems to massively raise the level of frustration and ‘fight’. I don’t like head collars for dogs anyway, their heads aren’t designed for it and it isn’t comfortable, but I think it’s actually counter productive in this situation. Unfortunately a lot of people go for them these days.
Henry with his mohawk 🤣. Love the format with the explainations being written on screen of what's going on right when it's happening, it makes the video so easy to follow! What is the song playing at the end?
Terriers are so tough man. They have such a great working prey drive. People get them and forget they are a working dog bred with purpose and function in mind. That excel in everything from obedience, scent work, dog diving, agility, tricks, to search and rescue. They are a big dog in a small body, they also aren't to be confused with companion breeds like Kings Charles Spaniels and Yorkshire terriers.
These videos are great. And you're inspiring a lot of people help train themselves to understand and help their dog. My question is, do you think you could do a video on spotting dog body language to learn when to correct as that seems to be the main battle most people struggle with. Keep up the great work
I need to come to an event, I really want to see the work and apply it to my 9mo old American Bully who needs a little help with leash reactivity. I’ve been working with him daily and he’s been doing great but I’d like to continue and get him polished up for the real world! Love the content!
Amazing just kinda makes me miss my doggie who was small so much easier to handle I've realized that since I have a bigger doggie now dashund shepherd mix yikes at 50lbs of muscle but thanks to these great videos I've become proud of myself for coming this far in training and surprised it helped more then all the previous training and it's videos amazing much love 💓 Tommy
Great video! I use a mini educator with my terrier mix but sometimes it’s not enough to interrupt her loading. Anybody know how the 280c vibrate compares to the mini educator?
My dog been on a wireless fence collar for when we let her outside. So, whenever I try to use the training collar on the lowest setting she acts scared and won’t respond to the command. With the setting that low is it the wireless fence contributing to this or her just not being familiar with the stimulation? Thanks!
I have a 1 1/2 female lab and pit mix. She is still working through her training I am doing with her. She started being reactive to dogs especially when they start to walk past us. If we’re farther away I can control her better. It started after I got her spayed. Do you have any tips for me so I can help her the best I can. Thank you!!
How do you feel about the 'discussion' Zak George is trying to have on his channel regarding balanced dog training, and how any correction would damage the dog long term? He of course has never dealt with an agression case, just a few pullers and a bit of barking.... I thought it was quite funny you used the same sponsor in a previous video ;)
I used to watch Zak George when my dog was a puppy and I was trying to train her, and I worked with a trainer that believed that as well. I’m not criticizing them, to each their own, but it didn’t work for me, seemed painfully slow in progression. My puppy was leash reactive to other dogs and it scared me because I knew she was going go get much bigger and stronger. I was watching Tom’s videos and realized this was how I wanted to train my dog. I interviewed another trainer that worked with correction and not only was it working I then started feeling more confident and I saw a huge attitude/confidence change in my dog as she learned.
Balanced training is the only thing that's working for my insanely reactive dog. I tried 6 years of positive only training and he just was not getting it until we introduced a prong collar with the guidance of a balanced trainer. He is so much more calm and confident now. I am only seeing positives from a balanced approach. I feel like Zak is thinking of e collars and prong collars as violent tools, and they are not so long as you implement them properly.
finally a dog that is really that agressive like mine! Every youtube dog trainer says “most aggressive dog that i have worked with” and that its not even half as bad as mine. This one is pretty close!! My dog doesnt even realise vibration though :(
You have to increase the level.. Whatever is stimulating him more than the vibration is more important & stimulating which is why it isn't working. Find his working level than +10 for anything over stimulating like other dogs and people for example.
So I like the reenforcement of good heal or good sit but Karr seems to think when I say that good heal, he walks faster and gets out of heal. Now, I ask him to heal and he does I can’t say anything. Just know that I’m proud he’s healing even though I can’t say anything. Lol. ❤️🇨🇦
People don’t understand that small dogs, terriers in particular, need the same training as a big dog. Terriers were bred to hunt, kill, bark, and chase. Other dogs were as well of course, but the terrier mixes tend to exhibit this behavior more. Think about the dog you want to get, and how much time and training they will need, before you get them. I am glad these owners came to you to help save their dog. His mental state is so much better after just a weekend in the right hands.
Tom, Love these small(ish) dog vids. Have a 2yo Chihuahua male (neutered) that doesn't bark at other dogs, rabbits, squirrels, etc or other dogs barking at him, HOWEVER, he is truly a one-man (ME) dog who won't let others come in close contact with him. WHAT do you suggest to work with him to accept others coming in clo9se contact? Thanks a lot. Y'all Be SWafe!
I love ALL dogs (actually all mamals lol). We have had rotties since 96. Have tried to socialize all we can and also made sure that we could always have people over and they know how to behave. Now, they behave, but they always watch and I have seen a few of ours be friendly, but if you make sudden movements, they normally would put themselves between us and whoever was over. But they never "went after" a person for no reason. The funny thing is people like this say their dog "nipped" 4 people. If one of mine did that, animal control would leave a vapor trail getting to my house lol. That little fella just needs boundaries and consistency, but people think that cause its a little fella, that means they can just wait. I will never understand that way of thinking. Just sets that baby up for failure one day
Increase the level. Find his working level for eg; the level on the e-collar where when you say sit or down he complies then +10 for more overstimulating distractions such as other dogs, animals, or humans.
I find our little dog is so much WORSE then our big dogs. Our big dogs were such angels compared to our little asshole 😅 hoping to learn how to curb the behaviour in a 10 year old dog. Can’t even have people to my house without her kennelled.
I don't know if you are aware of it. But you are left-handed, dogs in every country in the World, other than the UK and Australia, should walk on the right side.
NBD Army! Leave a like a comment for support!
Henry looks so chill now! ❤️
have you seen the new youtuber dog daddy? I was wondering what you thought and if its kind of the same thing
the dogs on the channel seem super stressed in the beginning, but at the end it seems like it works,
LOVE seeing small dogs get the education they deserve!! Go, Henry!!
Same!
This was an excellent video. Dog and owners both learned how to communicate appropriately. Tom, your diagnosis was spot on! No messing around, straight into positive solutions. The owners and Henry will be much happier and more relaxed now in their new home. Congratulations to everyone!

Terriers are some of my favorite dogs to train because while they have such an intensity all across the board that can make it very hard to work through (high pain tolerance, hyper fixation, etc), once you break through with them its like all the switches are firing at such a quick rate.
They live for work and LOVE structure, in fact, they thrive on it. I love working with them.

I'm not usually drawn to small dogs but gosh there was something about Henry that was so dang cute.
OMG thank you for the small terrier mix video. I have a bully/pit/staffy/acd/chihuahua/rat terrier.

Wish we lived closer so you could help me with my Staffy. Love your work Tom.
Ya I share this with a lot of clients. I work with so many dog where this IS the issue. Love how you communicate with your clients. Thanks Tom! You rock!
Im not crying you are, Aww this was such a good video, Thanks Tom!
This was a perfect video for me with a reactive Fox Terrior. really awesome thanks!
Great tips - I had a leash aggressive dog, but was able to train him out of it. Trying to help others now by watching.
Oh I love the owners, and lil Henry is adorable.
I hope your leg bruise heals quickly.
I love the video 💖 How cute little Henry is 🥰 It makes me happy that you could help him and his dads. You rock Tom! 👍

Love this! 💖 Typical terrier, super intensive attention!
And his cute waggy tail 😍
Henry!!! What a cute lil Dog… 😊
Great job Tom .
Yet another helpful video for us abroad that cannot join any course irl. Thank You! 🇧🇻❤️
Soooon! ❤️
The little treadmill 😂
Amazing work, Tom. You are hands down the best dog trainer! 👏🏻👏🏻
He looks so fierce!
What a change! OMGoodness. My Kane has bicycle issues. Love the bike is involved in training.
It's fun!

❤️ to group class :)
Amazing approach! Very inspiring.
Ty! Thanks
Awesome! Love these videos and the members club has helped Fry (that red merl Aussie that you help me with in the live chats) and I so much!
Great video. Great owners. Great training.
THANK YOU!
Great tips, I will practice these with my dogs.
Good luck!
Always great stuff Tom

Small but mighty, eh
This is exactly our dogs behavior
Hope it helps!
He’s so adorable 🥰
He is!
Just fantastic❤
Thank you!
In Henry’s situation you started with the “pager” that’s only a vibration, correct? And you added a HS collar - is that correct?
Curious what type of treat you are using? Very good video, please do more geared towards small/toy sized dogs.
Go Henry!!
Yasss
Great video! I use a mini educator with my terrier mix but sometimes it’s not enough to interrupt her loading. Anybody know how the 280c vibrate compares to the mini educator?
Ira much stronger
Thank you! 🙌🏻
i would love to know where to get the e collar and the small pinch collar i have a 10 and 5 pound dogs that need them
My dog been on a wireless fence collar for when we let her outside. So, whenever I try to use the training collar on the lowest setting she acts scared and won’t respond to the command. With the setting that low is it the wireless fence contributing to this or her just not being familiar with the stimulation? Thanks!
May I ask you if I will always need to use the e-collar if I train with it or can I someday let go of it after enough training?
I have a 1 1/2 female lab and pit mix. She is still working through her training I am doing with her. She started being reactive to dogs especially when they start to walk past us.

will you ever be in il?
when walking a dog like this do you expect the dog to always stay engaged with you, or do they get opportunities to look around and sniff around?
Tom, Love these small(ish) dog vids.

What do you do when your dog doesn't care about the pager?
Increase the level. Find his working level for eg; the level on the e-collar where when you say sit or down he complies then +10 for more overstimulating distractions such as other dogs, animals, or humans.
What kind of puppy is this ?
what is the size of prong? 2.25?
Yes
Henry is a cutie.
When you haar coffeeshop but your from the netherlands so you thanks of something totally different first

Some ppl would lose they shi if they seen you put a prong collar on a terrier
Could be also if he has never been exposed yo other dogs
Did he say “nipped poor people”

I don't know if you are aware of it. But you are left-handed, dogs in every country in the World, other than the UK and Australia, should walk on the right side.
Sorry to say or no intent for offense. Question have you tried your luck with women handler.
That dog is tippy my friends multipoo. Bites is to get at humans. He means harm.
The Waffle House has found it’s new host.
Maybe the dog doesn't want to live with two dudes...
I'm sorry but my biggest takeaway was the annoyance at the CONSTANT upward inflection in the blonde guy in blue's speaking patterns.
ATROCIOUS!
