Recently just adopted my first pup, he's a Blue Heeler and watching hours of your stuff has given me so much knowledge and confidence with training him into a great dog!
Good luck 🫡 I got two heeler sisters and they are my sweetest nightmares lmao. 😂 just know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and they’ll settle down eventually
Congrats! I’ve had many dogs but have had our first blue Heeler for the past year… BEST DOG EVER & Tom has the best advice, I learn something every time I listen 😎
Healers are the best. Stay on top of socialization and training as they are stubborn and can get very agressive and protective. All 3 I have had have bean exceptional dogs.
By watching these videos I was able to train my last one as my service dog. He had to stay busy though. I got him a healer ball to help with energy. He loved it. Currently using these methods I am training my new pup. He is a little more hyper as he is 3/4 aussie. We have to stay active.
I love how in this video you break down the "how" and "why" behind the approach. Your videos have totally changed my perspective on remote collars, for dogs. Also really like your motto of using obedience to manage undesirable behaviors. There's so much/too much debate over the use of correction, among dog trainers/owners. I'm not a big fan of excessive correction, and at the same time - is it really I mean really, less stressful for a dog to live in a constant state of fear/anxiety/confusion, vs being firmly but gently told "Hey, stop that. It's ok, I'll vouch for you"? Holding them accountable for their actions is just like showing them there's another exit from the highway. One where there's less traffic/obstacles they have to maneuver around, all by themselves.
I trained a 150 lbs saint Bernard, gsd, Akita (Ludo)with a very aggressive history. At 12yrs old I trained him to do sled dog work. Give them exercise and a purpose it helps build a relationship with them. Tools are important and the use is so important as well. Watching all your videos have motivated me to begin doing dog training. When I was younger I didn't see it as an option for a career. You've inspired me to take steps to being a more professional trainer.
I have a significantly aggressive St. Bernard. How did you work with yours? Mine is getting neutered in September. I was told the wait a year and is 14 months. he literally drags me to the ground trying to get after another dog with my dogs. He’s fine. He will attack any other dog if he can he hasn’t because I’ve had the leash even though I got dragged, but but I need serious help with him
Tom the e-collar has been a life saver for me. I rescued a 2 year old Black German Shepherd and now a year later at 89 lbs I would not have been able to control her if it had not been for the e-collar. She now listens when corrected even without the collar. Thank you for all your great videos and information and the love you have for the dogs.
I have push back all around me. I haven't watched one of your videos in a few weeks. Thank you AGAIN for the affirmation. I feel mentally strong again to stand up for what I believe in. The right tool, more knowledge, and finding mitigation that works can save a life. Thank you all that you do.
Tom, really appreciate you and your advocacy for appropriate usage of appropriate tools. Love your approach, your work and the new editing style. Keep it up!
Same. I see more and more dogs around off leash and out of control, and it's hard to blame the owners because they've worked with the only trainers and behaviourists available - the cookie throwers - and think they've done everything they could. In the meantime my reactive dog is in a permanent state of stress thanks to them.
Well if need a e collar to train your dog then you should never have had a dog from start... Got to understand how to train a dog from day 1 not when its to late and that dog gets a bad rumor bcs of idiot owner...
@@st1g718 that's all well and good but with all due respect, aren't you letting perfect be the enemy of better with that attitude? Sure, owners make mistakes during the early days and that isn't good enough - but Your approach risks leaving dogs anxious and reactive for the rest of their lives when owners have realised their mistakes and want to prevent a lifetime of anxiety and reactivity. Using the correct tools in the correct way late is better than never, surely? Ideally you should do it properly from day 1. But doing it a year late with different approaches is better than never if people aren't using ecollars inappropriately imo
@@st1g718 Oh how I wish I lived in your fairytale world, where any given dog's character is 100% nurture and 0% nature. Can't train a dog's DNA out of a dog, or a human. Which is why I am not going to engage with you any further.
Tom, you are the absolute best advocate for dogs and their safety! Shelters are full of aggressive dogs that were never told no, never corrected, and never trained and just do not know boundaries. As you say, “No Bad Dogs” but there are plenty of misguided owners. This video is also another testimony to know the breed, your abilities and your time constraints before you get that cute puppy and don’t do anything with it until it is too large for you to handle. In the end, it is always the dog that suffers and I love that you stress it is the literally dog’s life that is at stake. Thank you! There is NO ONE else putting out the content that you do (and for free, I might add) that has the potential to train, rehabilitate and save lives!
Tom, this is a Great video and much needed demos. People really do need to understand the remote collars . The proper use and how they can save their dog. I hate it when people just on a band wagon without all the knowledge. Again thank you !!!!
Hi Tom, I can't thank you enough for your videos and your common sense when it comes to dogs. My neighbour recently got himself a rescue dog, who is a two year old "Boxer / Queensland Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog Coss), The dog has had virtually no training in the past and has been a real handful for my neighbour to handle and spent all of his life on a long lead inside and outside of the house. My neighbour recently hurt his legs, so I volunteered to walk Charlie 4 days a week so he could get some exercise. Thanks to your videos I have been able to get Charlie to heel, sit , stay ,place, come, walk ahead of me in the bush without pulling, and pass through threshold behind me and wait for me to open doors. Charlie does this all on a lose slip leash. The only problem is Charlie is highly reactive to wildlife and is prone to suddenly pulling into his leash if something has recently passed through or suddenly flushes. He has pulled the other neighbour who walks Charlie over several times and got away from him ( he does not use a slip leash but a long lead and flat collar). I wish we could use an E collar or a Prong Collar in Australia, but they are both considered illegal. I know if I could use either, I could help Charlie more to curb his reactivity, so he could have more freedom. Charlie is very smart, extremely gentle, loving and willing to please he is just very strong, I would hate to see him sent back to the pound if I cannot teach my neighbour how to handle him. Bless you for your good advice, which has helped me to help Charlie so very much. Keep up the good fight, No Bad Dogs, Cheers, Muffy from OZ. (Australia)
I’ve had Akitas for thirty years and in my experience you are the best. Your methods are respect based and I’ve learned so much from watching you, thanks ❤🇨🇦
Love how you break down everything from what the dog is doing, not doing, thinking, etc. to what the owner can and cannot do to resolve the “issues.” You are a great problem solver! Thank you for always giving us situations and how to work through them.
Hi from Ontario, Canada (wish we were with you in Toronto right now!)Thanks for continuing to share your content publicly! We have a reactive 18m American bully and have used so many of your tips.
I'm so glad you made this video showing how ecollars / vibrate collars can literally save a dogs life, and make that difference in which other training methods may never do.
All your training videos are a such a blessing to those of us that need your expertise but don’t have a lot of financial resources even locally for a reputable trainer..The e- collar is pretty affordable and learning to use it and all other training tools you introduce for each situation properly is life changing for me and my dogs.. I have 2 littermate German shepherd’s each with a different training need in there reactivity. Also subscribing to the no bad dog army community has been so helpful watching full training sessions. Thanks Tom for your Love and Dedication to helping us and our doggos have a better life.☺️
Having a six year old aggressive dog your videos help and remind me to stay calm when he starts reacting and be in charge of the situation. Thank you for giving all these dogs a chance and for helping owners everywhere.
Surprisingly enough I have used a lot of your techniques without having to touch the dogs that I have around me to stop there barking, both of them are German shepherds. They’re awesome animals love your video. These are the kind of clients that I run a crossed when I’m walking my dog in our nature park here. Most of them are older seniors, and they have these ginormous dogs that are struggling to control and they use the halters and they use harnesses and then wonder why they’re being dragged. I refer a lot of these people to yours your channel as homework to aid success for them and the animal.
Amazing vid! Been using e-collars on hunting dogs for years. I have 22 month old Doberman with heavy prey drive. Don’t leave home without your collar. Been using your no bad dog collar.
Love your content! It’s helped me train my dog. She is a German Shepherd, Border Collie, Pitbull Mix. Extremely intelligent and athletic. She is still learning and a bit reactive but much better then has ever been. Thank you for your content.
I have a 6yo German shepherd and a 7mo pit/rottie/husky/beagle/retriever mix. The puppy is hard headed like a rottie, thinks it’s a lapdog, talks like a husky and bull headed when listening to instructions lol my German puts her in her place most times except on a leash. My puppy acts great but my German not so much. My German is also a runner if given the chance. Even tho she gets walks and exercise daily she loves to get out and run lose but we live near a busy street. I really want to get this collar to see if it helps
Great video, very helpful. I'm working with a few clients that have corso and a german shepherd that are more powerful from them. All of them got the dog to protect them, but are concerned because they can't turn it off. We're working on obedience now and will overlay it with the eCollar. I completely agree with your logic, correction and disagreement of banning tools. Doing so will cause many dogs to be put down. Thank you for using your platform to save the lives of dogs!
Having a difficulty and aggressive dog has really opened my eyes in a good way. As a huge animal lover, and recently acquiring an aggressive dog, it has made me see dogs that I’ve known and loved through a different lense
Excellent video - so happy those owners went to you and got the result they needed to help save their dogs lives and not forgetting also to help prevent the possible injury to others. I think I have mentioned before that I live in one of the countries where these form of training tools (along with prong collars) are being banned (although not currently completely banned in the state I live in, however their use is restricted). Like you said the people advocating for the banning of these tools have no experience of these tools being used correctly and/or only envisage the worst case scenario of either their use or that the animal requiring these tools are not candidates for any type of training - so easy to end the dog's life rather than do anything to revise the dog's outlook and behavioural responses. Thank you! 👍👍👍
Thanks for all the tools and support! I made much progress with my dog thanks to your videos and the various suggestions for us to try and adapt to each individual dog! Keep it up! 🥰
I recently adopted a young giant mixed breed dog from the local shelter. So far so good as I am learning how to manage working with his personality traits from breeds of mixed origin. Your videos are invaluable for me to learn concepts that will work with me and my dog/s. I really need the help and your videos give great, sound advice and perspectives I haven’t thought of!
Cannot believe you taking on such tough cases. The correct tools will help so much and your knowledge imparted to the owners is absolute gold. Stress is nothing compared to what could have been concerning the life of the dogs involved. E collars are an extremely useful tool. I would like to think, what if the people who want these collars banned had to be in a situation where their own lives depended on the use on an e collar?
Tom, because of your work and open documentation of your process, my wife and I have a profession, a lifestyle and a passion for dogs. I do wish you could ignore the negativity you face for the good work you do. Your fans, even if they are silent, are incredibly indebted to you. And don't want you to feel the negativity. As that might result in you changing your style and objectives, or stop transferring your knowledge to us. Bless you!
Excellent, Tom. Explanation was outstanding, truthful. Message is clear. Results are absolutely harmless and productive. Bless you. Keep message out there.
The e-collar and prong collar are LIFE SAVING tools for dogs when used correctly. It’s the people who abuse these tools that ruin it for those of us who use it correctly, and choose to educate ourselves on different types of equipment in order to strengthen our relationship with our dogs.
The description of reasons/when to use the remote collar is great. I tried them a long time ago before really knowing how to use them and it was not successful, if I started trying to use one now I think we would be kick ass at it. I've learned so much from this channel and love what you guys do! 5:20
Tom I appreciate all of your wisdom & advice. I’m 58 have had dogs all my life and I have a new blue Heeler.. he’s the best dog ever after working hard for the past year to train him out of his intense fear period.. I’ve learned so much this year with my new dog and I’ve been watching & listening to you, have learned more than I have with all my other dogs, Thankyou 🙏👏👏
I love the way you "built" this video, explained the situation and made visible with commented clips, then explained your solution and then just provided uncommented videos where I could totally focus on seeing what you had explained before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you. I'm so glad that you are speaking clearly and truthfully about when and why an e-collar should be used. It is a strong tool that can be used in an abusive way but it can also be used in an ethical way to save the life of difficult dogs.
I am a new trainer down in SoCal and you have helped me so much along my journey of learning dog training and different ways to handle them. I have now been a trainer for 5 years and I look up to you and your team so much for all the amazing work you guys do with dogs and over my 5 years I’ve learned so much from you and others you recommend. All in all thank you for everything you do in the dog and dog owner community.
It really works. We have a client with a Russian black terrier and he becomes 5 times more terrible than this mastiff, but he was shocked by the vibration of the collar. After 4 sessions, we came to work with air conditioning! He is changing before our eyes. Thank you, Tom, for showing off your workouts.
We're currently fostering an approx. 2-3yr old neutered mastiff mix. He was picked up off the street, spent 6 weeks in a boarding kennel before he was slated for euthanasia. The rescue organization took him out just in time, but he spent another 4 months in a boarding kennel while they looked for a foster home. So he's been through a lot. He's a very very sweet dog in the home and walks with us very well, but is incredibly aggressive reactive toward other dogs, as well as a demonstrated capacity for redirection on his handler (me). After a 4-week board-and-train, he's in an e-collar (Educator), prong collar (Sprenger), and muzzle (since the redirection incident). I've watched dozens of your videos to find the breakthrough technique and drill all the fundamentals into my head - we're still having issues but at least I have a starting point. These are some of the best videos and approaches I've found on UA-cam - thanks for taking the time to make them!
That was excellent Tom! This is possibly the most important educational video you've produced. Very well done, everything in a nutshell. Clear, calmly spoken, non-dramatic, very reasonable and very accessible to people. I'd encourage anyone with a hard dog in conflict with any group, authority or organization to forward this particular video to that organization. Too many dogs being put down, and too many other pets being killed and bites on humans by dogs owned by people who do not feel comfortable taking responsibility. People with hard dogs shouldn't be put between a rock and a hard place.
thank you for educating ppl on things like this. it’s personally helped me with my dogs. i have two rescues with bite history i got from the shelter i work at one bit again last night these videos are helping me as a handler understand where i’m going wrong
Thanks so much for reminding me of the basics of training. I have a 12mth 60kg puppy. He's become a nightmare to take anywhere. I get anxious before we go for walks. Yesterday was enough is enough and i have to get this under control. I can't believe how stupid I've been to let it get to this stage. Thank you for the straight up do's and Don't s. Back to basics. Ive spend a hour today following what you're advice and what a huge change. I haven't fallen over, tripped up or been covered in mud and my boy is so much more relaxed and I didn't have to take a chill pill after our walk. Cheers for reminding me yes they are our best mate but they are dogs and need their owners to own them to feel safe in themselves. Thank you, looking forward to our morning walks in NZ. Onwards and upwards 😀
As always thank you so much for your informative videos. I get grief from people who see a prong collar on our re-homed highly reactive GSD. The thing is I corrected her for less than 5 minutes the first time using the collar been on a loose lead since. We go hiking, play in rivers and lakes, walk the neighborhood, she is a WAY happier more confident dog. She’s turned into just a love muffin. I really want to come to NY and take remote collar training. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
I have a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy your videos and podcasts have tremendous helped me when it came to training especially when it came to leash training. One of my big struggles with her is going in her cage during the day she is still very destructive I feel like I have tried everything and nothing seems to help, I’ve have done a crap ton of cage training and she’s perfect throughout the night. She does have pretty bad anxiety and has since I got her which has gotten a lot better and we have worked on it but she also shows signs of being takin away from her mom too soon as well.
She is most likely going through one of her fear periods…at this age they can have a very pronounced one, and I found gsd bitches, and dobies, very prone to this. Look it up, read a few articles and see if it makes sense to you. The cage issue is almost certainly anxiety and particularly separation anxiety, at night she knows you are sleeping nearby, lock her up alone in the daytime and she panics, resulting in a destructive meltdown. Sounds as if she was nervy anyway, possibly down to incorrect early raising or genetics, and her age is just feeding into this. Try to not push her too much for a while, focus on building trust and calm. She should improve as she gets older, but be careful not to give her traumatic experiences as it can lock in for life. They are very emotional sensitive dogs.
I live in a country where prong collars and E-collars are illegal. I'd argue that this is because of so many people not doing research and using them wrong, only to end up hurting the dog instead. Before I found your channel I was really against them too, but you've shown how good they can be if used the right way. Keep up the good work!
Love this video. I have a 95 pound GSD., He is a wonderful boy. I am 64 and he can drag me anywhere he wants. I have a e-collar on him, but I only use the beep or vibrate it's all I need. Mostly use the beep. He is super friendly, but having a high dog running at you can be scary. So the beep helps him calm it down, so he is more approachable. So thanks for educational video to help people understand that it's a tool and not harmful.
Great video, as always! I have a GSD and have put in much work with my dog. I saw early signs of aggression when she was 10 months old. I immediately got my dog into training. Getting a dog requires commitment and consistency, especially with training. The owner of the Tibetan Mastiff needs to continue working with his dog. I don't want to judge him, but he needs to realize that his dog is a liability. I am very surprised his dog is alive after having a biting history. I'm glad he came to you Tom for help.
I have learned so much from your videos and truly enjoy watching your content. I tend to go to your page and binge your videos because they are so educational and helpful. I am in the process of training myself to be a better owner to my dogs. I specifically want to be better at helping my 2 year old great dane have confidence and be well mannered. Your videos have really helped me see what I need to do to be the best owner and leader of my furry family members. Keep doing what you do. You are a blessing. ❤❤
Great education about the e-coller. I was against it because I've seen my cousin used it disrespectfully on his German Shepherd. But seeing how it can be used properly is great. Glad it makes a difference to save dogs.
Tom I purchased the no bad dogs e collar… I have 4 Rottweilers our lives opened up thanks to you The 2 year male was so reactive as he was born during covid lock down so impossible to socialise… but after learning the e collar through your videos and training him with it … his now socialised and non reactive… I can’t even remember the last time I had to push the button because as soon as I put the collar on him there is no bad behaviour So for the people in the countries that have banned them my heart 💜 goes out to them because some stupid ignorant person has made a bad decision to ruin the chance of a dog having a normal life
Excellent, well edited video. So glad to watch you supporting the great voices of Ed Frawley of Leerburg and Ivan Balabanov of Training Without Conflict who have been “doggedly” making the world aware of the disastrous consequence of positive only training. E- collars (remote collars) can save the lives of dogs, not only the aggressive ones who could be euthanized, as you demonstrated and explained, but also those who won’t come when called and run into the road and get killed or run into the woods and get lost. So many reasons to support BALANCED TRAINING where consequences for bad behavior are the stressful equivalent of taking away your kid’s phone when they don’t do their homework. All consequences are stressful, that’s the point!
Great content as always When i started using a E collar my dogs life was greatly improved off leash playing the dog can run a lot faster than i can with a leash in my hand better control, more freedom less stress it's a great tool
I love how you break it all down to a T, all of your videos have helped me significantly with our corso who is leash reactive. He has 30lbs on me and your videos have completely changed our relationship in the best ways. We still have a ways to go but the progress thus far has been so amazing !
I love watching the specific needs of each dog being met. My dog is a sweetheart, but has separation anxiety while I'm out...will sleep in it during the day with no problem, but being along is another story...definitely improving.
Love your content. Been following for over a year now to help train my step moms Golden retriever and English Mastiff. There’s still a lot of things to work on but your videos have helped so much 🙏
We just Rescued a dog, I think he's pitbull, boxer, a lot of terrier x 1000 lol. He's two yrs old, your videos are amazing! I love how short and SOOO informative! Thank you!
I used to be so against prong collars and e-collars, I literally used to go out of my way to shame anyone that used them. I was ignorant. And then I got a reactive rescue dog and was on the verge of having to put her down. Luckily, I found a trainer that educated me on how to properly use these tools and it was life changing, literally saved my dogs life. So I definitely have respect for any trainer that works hard to properly educate people about these tools. If used wrong of course they could cause more harm than good but if used properly like Tom demonstrates, they help save lives.
It was so hard to find in Canada but I bought your e-collar and your course for it and it's so so helpful! I went to a busy campsite and had my dog on a harness but put on the e-collar as well. The line broke on his harness and thankfully I had the e-collar to call him off of another dog and have him come back to me. Thank you so much for what you do!❤
Imagine how stressful it would be for a dog to be taken from its home and quarantined in a strange kennel, not knowing anyone. The clock running while an administrator determines whether that dog lives or dies after biting someone or attacking another dog. A leash correction or a vibrating collar might add some stress but it’s momentary, unlike losing everything including its life. We owe it to our faithful companions to reinforce the behaviors we want and discourage the ones we don’t. Thank you for emphasizing what is important and empowering owners to be at their best, the lives of their dogs depend on that.
This is great! EDUCATION is key 👏 The only knowledge I had of an ecollar or prong collar were the horrible stories. After watching so many of Tom’s videos, I now use the Dogtra 280c on my 10 month old Kelpie. We now enjoy off leash fun at the beach. I wish I could utilise a prong but they are prohibited in my country 🇦🇺 and banned in my state. Why? Lack of that golden word; education. Thanks Tom 👌
Depends on which state in Australia you live e collars are illegal as well im in south australia and e collars are illegal, prong collars are illegal to import so that leaves the slip lead in a figure 8 as it works better than the head halti for my akita
Love, love, love this video! Positive reinforcement cannot be the only thing you show your dog. There has to be a balance. My Pitbull is extremely reactive around other dogs in a fearful way. He is not aggressive. We have a pet cat, chicken, and rabbit he lives with and roams around with them all day. I have been using the Herms prong on walks, but I don’t think it’s enough to get his attention to stop the behavior. Definitely looking into getting the remote collar next. It’s about finding what works for your dog. I know so many people in my neighborhood that don’t even walk their dogs because of reactivity and because they do not want to use any other tools to help other than a harness. In reality they are causing harm to their dog. What life is it for them to never get to experience the world just because they’re owner won’t take charge of them. It’s like giving up on a child. It’s not their fault, they just need guidance on how to behave. Hoping more people see that.
I have a almost 4 year old Belgian Malinois who was very car reactive …she would lunge at cars on our walks & run the fence line chasing them as they drove by…. I purchased the same collar that is used in this video…after proper conditioning..GAME CHANGER!!!!..,she only needed two corrections at the fence…now she lays back and watches them drive by…no reaction at all!!…even if I am not with her…(I watched from a soon the house)…on our walk..same thing..two corrections and she sits calmly watching them!…amazing tool…makes it SO much nicer not to have to worry about vehicles!..so thank you Tom!!!…I love this collar!!..👍👍
I have a 14 month old intact Caucasian shepherd who has reactive behaviour. I am so glad that I came across this video because I have been going back and forth about trying an E collar. Will try for sure while he is still a puppy.
Really wish you were in California for our 2 year old 112 lb lab great perinese shepherd mix. He is very reactive with people and other dogs. With two bite histories on people and one on a small dog. Really like your videos.
I watch ur vids every single day & every day I have been putting into practice what ur teaching & I have noticed amazing changes in myself and my 1.5 yr old (service-in-training for my Epilepsy) GSD. Because I am unable to work, I am still saving up to get the herm sprenger as well as the e-collar u have advertised because (Storm) still has some fear based agression - But just with ur training techniques, myself & my dog have already come a long way. Thanku so much for all the help u are providing myself & everyone! We'd be lost without this help!
This video hits home for sure! New owner of the Great Dane breed and also a reactive 1 year old great dane. No bite history, but I have been told to euthanize him due to aggressive behavior that I must say was not objectly analyzed by a supposive "guard dog, " "behavior," trainer!?! Appreciate the video.
Thanks for this video! I showed this to my roommate who owns a 1yr old intacked, Anatolian male who has taken to resource guarding and attacking me, biting me a few times. We've started E Collar training. It helps to see actual footage, I probably wouldn't rely on vibrate though myself, especially since no muzzle on this dog I've got at home.
again a great Video, before seeing your videos I was pretty unsure about the usage of a remote-collar. But now I would consider using one in my trainings.. 👍
Your ability to teach people so much about all these different tools has been such a gift. I never really thought of using an E-collar until I was shown the way you utilize this tool. Thanks so so much.
I have a 230 pound English Mastiff who is fear aggressive, but I have been working hard at training and he is making awesome progress. He’s nothing like the Tibetan Mastiff in the video. This video convinced me to order the collar used. I just hope it fits around Hugo’s 30 inch neck. I am excited to begin working with the collar.
What Tom wasn't able to show was the long term program of rebuilding trust and confidence that comes with the obedience part of the training once the aggression is controlled. You can then teach the dog to think for himself rather than just react. Granted there are cases that will take a long time but I've seen it happen and made a huge difference in a dog's life when used correctly. The challenge is there's a large population who will not use it correctly but those ppl wouldn't likely watch this video. Great work Tom!
Recently just adopted my first pup, he's a Blue Heeler and watching hours of your stuff has given me so much knowledge and confidence with training him into a great dog!
Good luck 🫡 I got two heeler sisters and they are my sweetest nightmares lmao. 😂 just know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and they’ll settle down eventually
Congrats! I’ve had many dogs but have had our first blue Heeler for the past year… BEST DOG EVER & Tom has the best advice, I learn something every time I listen 😎
Healers are the best. Stay on top of socialization and training as they are stubborn and can get very agressive and protective. All 3 I have had have bean exceptional dogs.
By watching these videos I was able to train my last one as my service dog. He had to stay busy though. I got him a healer ball to help with energy. He loved it. Currently using these methods I am training my new pup. He is a little more hyper as he is 3/4 aussie. We have to stay active.
I was VERY lucky with my red healer. You are going to do great! They are active and loving dogs. You ever need help, ask us or his videos
I love how in this video you break down the "how" and "why" behind the approach. Your videos have totally changed my perspective on remote collars, for dogs. Also really like your motto of using obedience to manage undesirable behaviors. There's so much/too much debate over the use of correction, among dog trainers/owners. I'm not a big fan of excessive correction, and at the same time - is it really I mean really, less stressful for a dog to live in a constant state of fear/anxiety/confusion, vs being firmly but gently told "Hey, stop that. It's ok, I'll vouch for you"? Holding them accountable for their actions is just like showing them there's another exit from the highway. One where there's less traffic/obstacles they have to maneuver around, all by themselves.
I trained a 150 lbs saint Bernard, gsd, Akita (Ludo)with a very aggressive history. At 12yrs old I trained him to do sled dog work. Give them exercise and a purpose it helps build a relationship with them. Tools are important and the use is so important as well. Watching all your videos have motivated me to begin doing dog training. When I was younger I didn't see it as an option for a career. You've inspired me to take steps to being a more professional trainer.
I have a significantly aggressive St. Bernard. How did you work with yours? Mine is getting neutered in September. I was told the wait a year and is 14 months. he literally drags me to the ground trying to get after another dog with my dogs. He’s fine. He will attack any other dog if he can he hasn’t because I’ve had the leash even though I got dragged, but but I need serious help with him
Tom the e-collar has been a life saver for me. I rescued a 2 year old Black German Shepherd and now a year later at 89 lbs I would not have been able to control her if it had not been for the e-collar. She now listens when corrected even without the collar. Thank you for all your great videos and information and the love you have for the dogs.
I have push back all around me. I haven't watched one of your videos in a few weeks. Thank you AGAIN for the affirmation. I feel mentally strong again to stand up for what I believe in. The right tool, more knowledge, and finding mitigation that works can save a life. Thank you all that you do.
Absolutely 💯 ❤️
Tom, really appreciate you and your advocacy for appropriate usage of appropriate tools. Love your approach, your work and the new editing style. Keep it up!
Thanks!
As an EU citizen, I really wish I didn't have to hide my training tools... Good job to both the owners and Tom for helping these pups!
Same. I see more and more dogs around off leash and out of control, and it's hard to blame the owners because they've worked with the only trainers and behaviourists available - the cookie throwers - and think they've done everything they could. In the meantime my reactive dog is in a permanent state of stress thanks to them.
Well if need a e collar to train your dog then you should never have had a dog from start... Got to understand how to train a dog from day 1 not when its to late and that dog gets a bad rumor bcs of idiot owner...
@@st1g718 that's all well and good but with all due respect, aren't you letting perfect be the enemy of better with that attitude?
Sure, owners make mistakes during the early days and that isn't good enough - but Your approach risks leaving dogs anxious and reactive for the rest of their lives when owners have realised their mistakes and want to prevent a lifetime of anxiety and reactivity.
Using the correct tools in the correct way late is better than never, surely?
Ideally you should do it properly from day 1. But doing it a year late with different approaches is better than never if people aren't using ecollars inappropriately imo
@@st1g718 that completely ignores rescues.
@@st1g718 Oh how I wish I lived in your fairytale world, where any given dog's character is 100% nurture and 0% nature. Can't train a dog's DNA out of a dog, or a human. Which is why I am not going to engage with you any further.
I'm such a baby. When you mentioned that the owner of the GSD said that you saved the dog's life, I got teary eyed. How grateful he must be.
Tom, you are the absolute best advocate for dogs and their safety! Shelters are full of aggressive dogs that were never told no, never corrected, and never trained and just do not know boundaries. As you say, “No Bad Dogs” but there are plenty of misguided owners. This video is also another testimony to know the breed, your abilities and your time constraints before you get that cute puppy and don’t do anything with it until it is too large for you to handle. In the end, it is always the dog that suffers and I love that you stress it is the literally dog’s life that is at stake.
Thank you! There is NO ONE else putting out the content that you do (and for free, I might add) that has the potential to train, rehabilitate and save lives!
Tom, this is a Great video and much needed demos. People really do need to understand the remote collars . The proper use and how they can save their dog. I hate it when people just on a band wagon without all the knowledge. Again thank you !!!!
Hi Tom, I can't thank you enough for your videos and your common sense when it comes to dogs. My neighbour recently got himself a rescue dog, who is a two year old "Boxer / Queensland Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog Coss), The dog has had virtually no training in the past and has been a real handful for my neighbour to handle and spent all of his life on a long lead inside and outside of the house. My neighbour recently hurt his legs, so I volunteered to walk Charlie 4 days a week so he could get some exercise. Thanks to your videos I have been able to get Charlie to heel, sit , stay ,place, come, walk ahead of me in the bush without pulling, and pass through threshold behind me and wait for me to open doors. Charlie does this all on a lose slip leash. The only problem is Charlie is highly reactive to wildlife and is prone to suddenly pulling into his leash if something has recently passed through or suddenly flushes. He has pulled the other neighbour who walks Charlie over several times and got away from him ( he does not use a slip leash but a long lead and flat collar). I wish we could use an E collar or a Prong Collar in Australia, but they are both considered illegal. I know if I could use either, I could help Charlie more to curb his reactivity, so he could have more freedom. Charlie is very smart, extremely gentle, loving and willing to please he is just very strong, I would hate to see him sent back to the pound if I cannot teach my neighbour how to handle him. Bless you for your good advice, which has helped me to help Charlie so very much. Keep up the good fight, No Bad Dogs, Cheers, Muffy from OZ. (Australia)
I’ve had Akitas for thirty years and in my experience you are the best. Your methods are respect based and I’ve learned so much from watching you, thanks ❤🇨🇦
Love how you break down everything from what the dog is doing, not doing, thinking, etc. to what the owner can and cannot do to resolve the “issues.” You are a great problem solver! Thank you for always giving us situations and how to work through them.
Hi from Ontario, Canada (wish we were with you in Toronto right now!)Thanks for continuing to share your content publicly! We have a reactive 18m American bully and have used so many of your tips.
I'm so glad you made this video showing how ecollars / vibrate collars can literally save a dogs life, and make that difference in which other training methods may never do.
All your training videos are a such a blessing to those of us that need your expertise but don’t have a lot of financial resources even locally for a reputable trainer..The e- collar is pretty affordable and learning to use it and all other training tools you introduce for each situation properly is life changing for me and my dogs.. I have 2 littermate German shepherd’s each with a different training need in there reactivity. Also subscribing to the no bad dog army community has been so helpful watching full training sessions. Thanks Tom for your Love and Dedication to helping us and our doggos have a better life.☺️
Having a six year old aggressive dog your videos help and remind me to stay calm when he starts reacting and be in charge of the situation. Thank you for giving all these dogs a chance and for helping owners everywhere.
Surprisingly enough I have used a lot of your techniques without having to touch the dogs that I have around me to stop there barking, both of them are German shepherds. They’re awesome animals love your video. These are the kind of clients that I run a crossed when I’m walking my dog in our nature park here. Most of them are older seniors, and they have these ginormous dogs that are struggling to control and they use the halters and they use harnesses and then wonder why they’re being dragged. I refer a lot of these people to yours your channel as homework to aid success for them and the animal.
Amazing vid! Been using e-collars on hunting dogs for years. I have 22 month old Doberman with heavy prey drive. Don’t leave home without your collar. Been using your no bad dog collar.
Tom, keep going. Keep making videos like this. You have the platform to prove that tools, used correctly of course, can save lives.
Love your content! It’s helped me train my dog. She is a German Shepherd, Border Collie, Pitbull Mix. Extremely intelligent and athletic. She is still learning and a bit reactive but much better then has ever been. Thank you for your content.
I have a 6yo German shepherd and a 7mo pit/rottie/husky/beagle/retriever mix. The puppy is hard headed like a rottie, thinks it’s a lapdog, talks like a husky and bull headed when listening to instructions lol my German puts her in her place most times except on a leash. My puppy acts great but my German not so much. My German is also a runner if given the chance. Even tho she gets walks and exercise daily she loves to get out and run lose but we live near a busy street. I really want to get this collar to see if it helps
Brilliant video Tom, all your videos are so informative, I especially love the talk-throughs!
Thank you!
Keep doing what you do! 👌
Great video, very helpful. I'm working with a few clients that have corso and a german shepherd that are more powerful from them. All of them got the dog to protect them, but are concerned because they can't turn it off. We're working on obedience now and will overlay it with the eCollar. I completely agree with your logic, correction and disagreement of banning tools. Doing so will cause many dogs to be put down. Thank you for using your platform to save the lives of dogs!
Having a difficulty and aggressive dog has really opened my eyes in a good way. As a huge animal lover, and recently acquiring an aggressive dog, it has made me see dogs that I’ve known and loved through a different lense
Excellent video - so happy those owners went to you and got the result they needed to help save their dogs lives and not forgetting also to help prevent the possible injury to others. I think I have mentioned before that I live in one of the countries where these form of training tools (along with prong collars) are being banned (although not currently completely banned in the state I live in, however their use is restricted). Like you said the people advocating for the banning of these tools have no experience of these tools being used correctly and/or only envisage the worst case scenario of either their use or that the animal requiring these tools are not candidates for any type of training - so easy to end the dog's life rather than do anything to revise the dog's outlook and behavioural responses.
Thank you! 👍👍👍
Thanks for all the tools and support! I made much progress with my dog thanks to your videos and the various suggestions for us to try and adapt to each individual dog! Keep it up! 🥰
I recently adopted a young giant mixed breed dog from the local shelter. So far so good as I am learning how to manage working with his personality traits from breeds of mixed origin. Your videos are invaluable for me to learn concepts that will work with me and my dog/s. I really need the help and your videos give great, sound advice and perspectives I haven’t thought of!
Cannot believe you taking on such tough cases. The correct tools will help so much and your knowledge imparted to the owners is absolute gold. Stress is nothing compared to what could have been concerning the life of the dogs involved. E collars are an extremely useful tool. I would like to think, what if the people who want these collars banned had to be in a situation where their own lives depended on the use on an e collar?
Tom, because of your work and open documentation of your process, my wife and I have a profession, a lifestyle and a passion for dogs.
I do wish you could ignore the negativity you face for the good work you do. Your fans, even if they are silent, are incredibly indebted to you. And don't want you to feel the negativity. As that might result in you changing your style and objectives, or stop transferring your knowledge to us.
Bless you!
Excellent, Tom. Explanation was outstanding, truthful. Message is clear. Results are absolutely harmless and productive. Bless you. Keep message out there.
The e-collar and prong collar are LIFE SAVING tools for dogs when used correctly. It’s the people who abuse these tools that ruin it for those of us who use it correctly, and choose to educate ourselves on different types of equipment in order to strengthen our relationship with our dogs.
Go Tom go! Changing lives and giving owners peace. I’m so proud of you! And…thank you.
The description of reasons/when to use the remote collar is great. I tried them a long time ago before really knowing how to use them and it was not successful, if I started trying to use one now I think we would be kick ass at it. I've learned so much from this channel and love what you guys do! 5:20
Tom I appreciate all of your wisdom & advice. I’m 58 have had dogs all my life and I have a new blue Heeler.. he’s the best dog ever after working hard for the past year to train him out of his intense fear period.. I’ve learned so much this year with my new dog and I’ve been watching & listening to you, have learned more than I have with all my other dogs, Thankyou 🙏👏👏
I love the way you "built" this video, explained the situation and made visible with commented clips, then explained your solution and then just provided uncommented videos where I could totally focus on seeing what you had explained before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you. I'm so glad that you are speaking clearly and truthfully about when and why an e-collar should be used. It is a strong tool that can be used in an abusive way but it can also be used in an ethical way to save the life of difficult dogs.
We adopted a 17 month old GSD/Malinois mix. She’s reactive at times and your videos are very helpful. Thank you!
I am a new trainer down in SoCal and you have helped me so much along my journey of learning dog training and different ways to handle them. I have now been a trainer for 5 years and I look up to you and your team so much for all the amazing work you guys do with dogs and over my 5 years I’ve learned so much from you and others you recommend. All in all thank you for everything you do in the dog and dog owner community.
Where are you at in SoCal though?

It really works. We have a client with a Russian black terrier and he becomes 5 times more terrible than this mastiff, but he was shocked by the vibration of the collar. After 4 sessions, we came to work with air conditioning! He is changing before our eyes. Thank you, Tom, for showing off your workouts.
We're currently fostering an approx. 2-3yr old neutered mastiff mix. He was picked up off the street, spent 6 weeks in a boarding kennel before he was slated for euthanasia. The rescue organization took him out just in time, but he spent another 4 months in a boarding kennel while they looked for a foster home. So he's been through a lot. He's a very very sweet dog in the home and walks with us very well, but is incredibly aggressive reactive toward other dogs, as well as a demonstrated capacity for redirection on his handler (me). After a 4-week board-and-train, he's in an e-collar (Educator), prong collar (Sprenger), and muzzle (since the redirection incident). I've watched dozens of your videos to find the breakthrough technique and drill all the fundamentals into my head - we're still having issues but at least I have a starting point. These are some of the best videos and approaches I've found on UA-cam - thanks for taking the time to make them!
That was excellent Tom! This is possibly the most important educational video you've produced. Very well done, everything in a nutshell. Clear, calmly spoken, non-dramatic, very reasonable and very accessible to people.
I'd encourage anyone with a hard dog in conflict with any group, authority or organization to forward this particular video to that organization. Too many dogs being put down, and too many other pets being killed and bites on humans by dogs owned by people who do not feel comfortable taking responsibility. People with hard dogs shouldn't be put between a rock and a hard place.
Love it. Always enjoy your evaluations and solutions.
Tha
Nks
thank you for educating ppl on things like this. it’s personally helped me with my dogs. i have two rescues with bite history i got from the shelter i work at one bit again last night these videos are helping me as a handler understand where i’m going wrong
Thanks so much for reminding me of the basics of training. I have a 12mth 60kg puppy. He's become a nightmare to take anywhere. I get anxious before we go for walks. Yesterday was enough is enough and i have to get this under control. I can't believe how stupid I've been to let it get to this stage. Thank you for the straight up do's and Don't s. Back to basics. Ive spend a hour today following what you're advice and what a huge change. I haven't fallen over, tripped up or been covered in mud and my boy is so much more relaxed and I didn't have to take a chill pill after our walk. Cheers for reminding me yes they are our best mate but they are dogs and need their owners to own them to feel safe in themselves. Thank you, looking forward to our morning walks in NZ. Onwards and upwards 😀
Happy for you, Sam!
As always thank you so much for your informative videos. I get grief from people who see a prong collar on our re-homed highly reactive GSD. The thing is I corrected her for less than 5 minutes the first time using the collar been on a loose lead since. We go hiking, play in rivers and lakes, walk the neighborhood, she is a WAY happier more confident dog. She’s turned into just a love muffin. I really want to come to NY and take remote collar training. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
Started my dog behaviour training. And this video help so much with more context. Really learning a lot from you
I have a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy your videos and podcasts have tremendous helped me when it came to training especially when it came to leash training. One of my big struggles with her is going in her cage during the day she is still very destructive I feel like I have tried everything and nothing seems to help, I’ve have done a crap ton of cage training and she’s perfect throughout the night. She does have pretty bad anxiety and has since I got her which has gotten a lot better and we have worked on it but she also shows signs of being takin away from her mom too soon as well.
She is most likely going through one of her fear periods…at this age they can have a very pronounced one, and I found gsd bitches, and dobies, very prone to this. Look it up, read a few articles and see if it makes sense to you. The cage issue is almost certainly anxiety and particularly separation anxiety, at night she knows you are sleeping nearby, lock her up alone in the daytime and she panics, resulting in a destructive meltdown. Sounds as if she was nervy anyway, possibly down to incorrect early raising or genetics, and her age is just feeding into this. Try to not push her too much for a while, focus on building trust and calm. She should improve as she gets older, but be careful not to give her traumatic experiences as it can lock in for life. They are very emotional sensitive dogs.
I live in a country where prong collars and E-collars are illegal. I'd argue that this is because of so many people not doing research and using them wrong, only to end up hurting the dog instead.
Before I found your channel I was really against them too, but you've shown how good they can be if used the right way. Keep up the good work!
Love this video. I have a 95 pound GSD., He is a wonderful boy. I am 64 and he can drag me anywhere he wants. I have a e-collar on him, but I only use the beep or vibrate it's all I need. Mostly use the beep. He is super friendly, but having a high dog running at you can be scary. So the beep helps him calm it down, so he is more approachable. So thanks for educational video to help people understand that it's a tool and not harmful.
Great video, as always! I have a GSD and have put in much work with my dog. I saw early signs of aggression when she was 10 months old. I immediately got my dog into training. Getting a dog requires commitment and consistency, especially with training. The owner of the Tibetan Mastiff needs to continue working with his dog. I don't want to judge him, but he needs to realize that his dog is a liability. I am very surprised his dog is alive after having a biting history. I'm glad he came to you Tom for help.
Thanks for all you do. Explaining why you do it. It is not a universal tool for any situation but for specific needs in specific situations.
Definitely one of, if not the best video you've made! Congrats!
Thank you for another very educational video. My dog is a reactive handful. Everyday is a challenge. Your videos are much appreciated.
Your explanation of corrections is so good.
Thanks buddy
I have learned so much from your videos and truly enjoy watching your content. I tend to go to your page and binge your videos because they are so educational and helpful. I am in the process of training myself to be a better owner to my dogs. I specifically want to be better at helping my 2 year old great dane have confidence and be well mannered. Your videos have really helped me see what I need to do to be the best owner and leader of my furry family members. Keep doing what you do. You are a blessing. ❤❤
Thanks for being so honest and helping peoples and dogs lives 🙏🏼
Super helpful!! Been learning so much from this channel! Thank you!
Great education about the e-coller. I was against it because I've seen my cousin used it disrespectfully on his German Shepherd. But seeing how it can be used properly is great. Glad it makes a difference to save dogs.
Thanks for watching!
I am from The Netherlands and your content is so helpfull 😊
Fascinating I watch your vids all the time - very helpful to me - wish me and my dogs can attend your group lessons!
Such an important, instructive video for so many dog owners.
I love how you explain the psychology behind every aspect of the dog’s behavior.
🫶🏻
Tom I purchased the no bad dogs e collar… I have 4 Rottweilers our lives opened up thanks to you
The 2 year male was so reactive as he was born during covid lock down so impossible to socialise… but after learning the e collar through your videos and training him with it … his now socialised and non reactive… I can’t even remember the last time I had to push the button because as soon as I put the collar on him there is no bad behaviour
So for the people in the countries that have banned them my heart 💜 goes out to them because some stupid ignorant person has made a bad decision to ruin the chance of a dog having a normal life
Excellent, well edited video. So glad to watch you supporting the great voices of Ed Frawley of Leerburg and Ivan Balabanov of Training Without Conflict who have been “doggedly” making the world aware of the disastrous consequence of positive only training. E- collars (remote collars) can save the lives of dogs, not only the aggressive ones who could be euthanized, as you demonstrated and explained, but also those who won’t come when called and run into the road and get killed or run into the woods and get lost. So many reasons to support BALANCED TRAINING where consequences for bad behavior are the stressful equivalent of taking away your kid’s phone when they don’t do their homework. All consequences are stressful, that’s the point!
Great content as always When i started using a E collar my dogs life was greatly improved off leash playing the dog can run a lot faster than i can with a leash in my hand better control, more freedom less stress it's a great tool
I love how you break it all down to a T, all of your videos have helped me significantly with our corso who is leash reactive. He has 30lbs on me and your videos have completely changed our relationship in the best ways. We still have a ways to go but the progress thus far has been so amazing !
I love watching the specific needs of each dog being met. My dog is a sweetheart, but has separation anxiety while I'm out...will sleep in it during the day with no problem, but being along is another story...definitely improving.
Love your content. Been following for over a year now to help train my step moms Golden retriever and English Mastiff. There’s still a lot of things to work on but your videos have helped so much 🙏
I’ve got two dogs - both reactive w dogs, one w people as well. I def appreciate all the info in your videos.
We just Rescued a dog, I think he's pitbull, boxer, a lot of terrier x 1000 lol. He's two yrs old, your videos are amazing! I love how short and SOOO informative! Thank you!
I used to be so against prong collars and e-collars, I literally used to go out of my way to shame anyone that used them. I was ignorant. And then I got a reactive rescue dog and was on the verge of having to put her down. Luckily, I found a trainer that educated me on how to properly use these tools and it was life changing, literally saved my dogs life. So I definitely have respect for any trainer that works hard to properly educate people about these tools. If used wrong of course they could cause more harm than good but if used properly like Tom demonstrates, they help save lives.
It was so hard to find in Canada but I bought your e-collar and your course for it and it's so so helpful! I went to a busy campsite and had my dog on a harness but put on the e-collar as well. The line broke on his harness and thankfully I had the e-collar to call him off of another dog and have him come back to me. Thank you so much for what you do!❤
🫶🏻🫶🏻
Love your videos! We have a sweet pit foster momma we are keeping and I’ve used some of your suggestions and it’s helped so much thank you.
Imagine how stressful it would be for a dog to be taken from its home and quarantined in a strange kennel, not knowing anyone. The clock running while an administrator determines whether that dog lives or dies after biting someone or attacking another dog. A leash correction or a vibrating collar might add some stress but it’s momentary, unlike losing everything including its life. We owe it to our faithful companions to reinforce the behaviors we want and discourage the ones we don’t. Thank you for emphasizing what is important and empowering owners to be at their best, the lives of their dogs depend on that.
I am going through this now with my dog being in the impound, and the wait is stressful
@@LaSultrySoul 🙏🏻😢🐾🐾
This is great! EDUCATION is key 👏
The only knowledge I had of an ecollar or prong collar were the horrible stories. After watching so many of Tom’s videos, I now use the Dogtra 280c on my 10 month old Kelpie. We now enjoy off leash fun at the beach. I wish I could utilise a prong but they are prohibited in my country 🇦🇺 and banned in my state. Why? Lack of that golden word; education. Thanks Tom 👌
Depends on which state in Australia you live e collars are illegal as well im in south australia and e collars are illegal, prong collars are illegal to import so that leaves the slip lead in a figure 8 as it works better than the head halti for my akita
@@teresaclark7291 I’m in Tasmania. At this point in time the e collar is allowed 👍
Your lucky , there are a few states which allow them unfortunately south australia doesn't
Love, love, love this video!
Positive reinforcement cannot be the only thing you show your dog. There has to be a balance. My Pitbull is extremely reactive around other dogs in a fearful way. He is not aggressive. We have a pet cat, chicken, and rabbit he lives with and roams around with them all day. I have been using the Herms prong on walks, but I don’t think it’s enough to get his attention to stop the behavior. Definitely looking into getting the remote collar next. It’s about finding what works for your dog. I know so many people in my neighborhood that don’t even walk their dogs because of reactivity and because they do not want to use any other tools to help other than a harness. In reality they are causing harm to their dog. What life is it for them to never get to experience the world just because they’re owner won’t take charge of them. It’s like giving up on a child. It’s not their fault, they just need guidance on how to behave. Hoping more people see that.
I was in the early 280c program and have been using it ever since for amazing off leash freedom.
I have a almost 4 year old Belgian Malinois who was very car reactive …she would lunge at cars on our walks & run the fence line chasing them as they drove by…. I purchased the same collar that is used in this video…after proper conditioning..GAME CHANGER!!!!..,she only needed two corrections at the fence…now she lays back and watches them drive by…no reaction at all!!…even if I am not with her…(I watched from a soon the house)…on our walk..same thing..two corrections and she sits calmly watching them!…amazing tool…makes it SO much nicer not to have to worry about vehicles!..so thank you Tom!!!…I love this collar!!..👍👍
Lol..should read..”I watch from window “…
I have a 14 month old intact Caucasian shepherd who has reactive behaviour. I am so glad that I came across this video because I have been going back and forth about trying an E collar. Will try for sure while he is still a puppy.
Great video. Super helpful. I have a 10 mo old reactive gsd and she’s protective of me. The videos are so informative and educational. Thank you.
Really wish you were in California for our 2 year old 112 lb lab great perinese shepherd mix. He is very reactive with people and other dogs. With two bite histories on people and one on a small dog. Really like your videos.
I watch ur vids every single day & every day I have been putting into practice what ur teaching & I have noticed amazing changes in myself and my 1.5 yr old (service-in-training for my Epilepsy) GSD. Because I am unable to work, I am still saving up to get the herm sprenger as well as the e-collar u have advertised because (Storm) still has some fear based agression - But just with ur training techniques, myself & my dog have already come a long way. Thanku so much for all the help u are providing myself & everyone! We'd be lost without this help!
Another great video. Thanks Tom!!!
Thanks, Andy!
I have learnt so much watching your videos 🙏
Great video! Already have an e collar but need more instruction with my three year old rescue
This video hits home for sure! New owner of the Great Dane breed and also a reactive 1 year old great dane. No bite history, but I have been told to euthanize him due to aggressive behavior that I must say was not objectly analyzed by a supposive "guard dog, " "behavior," trainer!?! Appreciate the video.
I wish I had this video 20 years ago with an aggressive Shepherd I had. Love this educational video on aggressive dog training and E- collars.
Really enjoy these videos, they have helped me and my Idaho Shag cattle dog a lot!
Thanks for this video! I showed this to my roommate who owns a 1yr old intacked, Anatolian male who has taken to resource guarding and attacking me, biting me a few times. We've started E Collar training. It helps to see actual footage, I probably wouldn't rely on vibrate though myself, especially since no muzzle on this dog I've got at home.
You are the most amazing doggie trainer my bucket list has you on it.
All great points!! Thanks Tom.
again a great Video, before seeing your videos I was pretty unsure about the usage of a remote-collar.
But now I would consider using one in my trainings.. 👍
Thank you for introducing tools and explaining when and how to use them!
Your ability to teach people so much about all these different tools has been such a gift. I never really thought of using an E-collar until I was shown the way you utilize this tool. Thanks so so much.
I have a 230 pound English Mastiff who is fear aggressive, but I have been working hard at training and he is making awesome progress. He’s nothing like the Tibetan Mastiff in the video. This video convinced me to order the collar used. I just hope it fits around Hugo’s 30 inch neck. I am excited to begin working with the collar.
Having a fearful dog, I never miss a video. Thanks so much Tom!
Going to buy the collar, thanks so much for this video. It gives me hope!
Very helpful video! Your videos have helped me with my reactive Australian Shepherd!
What Tom wasn't able to show was the long term program of rebuilding trust and confidence that comes with the obedience part of the training once the aggression is controlled. You can then teach the dog to think for himself rather than just react. Granted there are cases that will take a long time but I've seen it happen and made a huge difference in a dog's life when used correctly. The challenge is there's a large population who will not use it correctly but those ppl wouldn't likely watch this video. Great work Tom!
Thanks!
This is such a great video Tom!! 💯
