Have intact GERMAN SHEPHERD. 3 years old . Good with commands good in public . Other dogs goes bonkers . Should I get him fixed?
@tomdavisofficial
Can I still use this offer next week?
Tom I talk to Goose all the time during the day.
I own I’m on the anxiety spectrum…
I’m catching it now though Tom.
I’m his person ❤❤❤
Thanks Tom
Yeah Goose can’t stand the 2 labs that live down in the cul de sac
@@tomdavisofficial Thank you.
I volunteer weekly at a shelter in Miami and help dogs get adopted at our events. Your videos have transformed the way I work with all the dogs, especially the most challenging dogs, all of whom are well over 55 pounds. (I’m 5’3”, 125lbs) I am certain my taking your course would make a big difference.
Amazing work. ❤
My dog when I talk: looks at me like I have absolutely lost my mind 😂 I love these videos, thank you Tom 🫶
He must be male. Females have that effect on males...My wife drives me and our dog crazy.
I have a 115lb Neutered Rhodesian Rigeback in good health. Had him since 11 Weeks. From month one he has been reactive on a leash. I have had multiple dogs in my life and never had this kind of challenge. I am in my 60's and sometimes feel like I am in over my head with this pup. He is now 2.5 years and walks are a challenge. He sits at curbs and listens and walks wonderfully... until he sees another dog or cat and "some" humans. Especially if the other dog reacts first. But it is not an aggressive reaction.. he wants to play. I am now using a head halter and that seems to give me more control but the reactivity is there. I will not give up, He is mine for life. But it would sure be nice to be able to take him out more, when we go places that have other well behaved dogs. Thank you for your videos
My male dane became reactive at puberty. He has been fixed now but we still have issues in public. I appreciate this video.
We have a Pittie / Corso mix . Socialized since he was 5 weeks old, no bad experience. At puberty if a dog rushed or challenged him in any way he would react. We fixed him at 11 months. He stopped with the aggressive smelling and wanting to mount dogs or humans. He is 4 years old now and 120lbs . We’ve had he going out on pack hikes with up to 15 various dogs every week and he is middle of the pack dog.
However one on one he still does not like other dogs approaching him.
As Tom says obedience , boundaries great loving leadership is the key to managing him. With that he understands his boundaries and no reaction, we catch it before it starts. However we are always on the lookout for people who allow their unleashed dog lose. It’s up to us to make them feel safe. Tom’s videos are so educational . Continue to put in the time and it will pay off. Just like bringing up kids 🐶💕🐾
Great advice, especially about the small talk. And I love how you always tell people it’s okay if your dog doesn’t like other dogs 👍🏼
I just rescued a 14 month old shepherd from my local shelter after losing my bestest girl of 2 years to cancer. Your videos changed how I approach my relationship with my new dog. I keep my commands one worded, straight and to the point. We crate train, crate feed and reward with treats and ball play as rewards and leash corrections when she tries to dodge the commands. I’m so grateful to have listened to your podcast and continued to watch your videos as they’ve taught me so much more about dog culture.
I'm a third generation, life long animal caretaker and dog handler. My grandmother advised me to watch your videos because she (a trainer with 40+ years of experience) finds them so educational! We're the sort of animal folks who can understand animals, but struggle to explain what is happening verbally to other humans. Your videos have helped me to develop my communication skills with clients, and I always recommend your videos to my clients. Thank you so much!!!
I don't have a dog yet but still watch and learn from you, it's preparing me for my future dog here in Minnesota. I love how you emphasize that basic obedience is a key factor with working with a dog.
You got me. My White German Shepherd simply stopped listening to me. Super overprotective. Why… I talk to her all the time. Now it’s time for me to be the true leader. Thanks for the knowledge.
Your videos have been a blessing. My "reactive" dog just finished an obedience class with 8 other dogs. After working with this dog for 4 years, we finally have established the right relationship. Does he like other dogs? Nope! But does he have confidence to communicate with me and know he can cope in many situations and different environments? YES! Thank you ❤
These are all examples of what I have had to do with my rescue. He was abused by his last family. I did these with his trainer, and now he's playful yet cautious with strangers. I totally feel these tips are foundational even for well-mannered pups. Thanks Tom for the video.
I'm in Florida with a moderately reactive adopted adult GSD/Rottweiler mix. I do have a bad habit of talking to him while we're on hikes. I do it as a safety measure to alert wildlife and other hikers that we're coming. We do have good obedience until another dog "surprises" us on the trail or on our neighborhood walks (barking dogs behind fences or on tie-outs). I'd love him to be able to stay neutral in all situations, not just at parks or on sidewalks.
Thank you! My GSD is a 5 month old tripod (because of abuse by prior owner). I want us to have a long healthy life together and your videos are so helpful. Less talk is my new goal. 🤦♀️
I am constantly talking to my 18 week old puppy. I had never before read or been told that’s not positive. Thank you for providing that information and the content that makes sense as to why you shouldn’t!
We are from Ohio. Our 15 year old daughter spends lots of time training our two Golden Retrievers. We have all learn a lot, especially from you! Thank you so much!
I am in oregon. I have had my reactive dog for the last eight years. After watching this video. I believe that he doesn't like other dogs. This is great video! Thank you for your tips and advice. I will use it for sure.
My wife and I have been following you since we adopted our 6 year old Shepard / Bull Terrier mix. He has been reactive towards dogs (but plays with some) since we got him. We took him to group obedience training and we'recurrently trying the canny collar with the trainer. He has improved a lot. And the biggest thing we saw was us learning how to train and building a relationship! Your course would be a blessing as we have been struggling with Otis' behaviour for nearly a year now.
After 2 1/2 years, you are still my GO TO person for sensible guidance. TY
Great video! Loki is a rescue who absolutely loves my golden retriever, Biscuit. Loki was running around the neighborhood for at least 3 weeks before a neighbor caught him (that was a year ago and he was about a year old). Shortly after I decided to adopt him, he displayed reactivity to most dogs. I had tried all kinds of trainings starting with positive reinforcement and obedience. I would walk him from a distance and then we would get closer when he didn't react. He does have some dog friends from that but it took longer and longer for him to get used to the dog. I have tried working with 5 trainers and the last one did help improve obedience during his stay with her. Unfortunately she never saw the reactivity. When we did some training in my neighborhood he reacted (even with her holding the leash). We have tried all tools out there without success (including e collar and prong). The most success we have had is the positive training combined with sniffing exercises and a slip lead/head harness but it is not much of an improvement. He has also started being reactive to bikes in the last 6 months. So now I keep trying but am a bit at a loss. His obedience is good for the most part though it is tested with distractions. And he is really pretty driven so outside he becomes more focused on the environment though we are working on that. Would love to figure out a better system that will work so I can walk him more often and be able to not worry he will react. I currently manage it but it isn't easy at all. And last week we got a bit derailed when an off leash dog came at us and we couldn't get away fast enough and the owner didn't have good recall and also wasnt fast. The two dogs scuffled but luckily no one but myself got hurt when I tripped over my dogs leash. 😢
I’m from northern VT and have a very reactive 110lb lab mix. I am so anxious now, and fee ashamed of the fact that we’ve avoided social situations with him after some stressful encounters (we live in the woods so that’s easy) and I just want to help him SO badly. I’m glad I found your videos and hopefully we can work through some things with your training programs.
After mooving from a rural setting to a busier area our 1.5 years old, neutered, male shepherd mix started to be leash reactive - launching at cars, people, cats, deer, other dogs and even a leaf on the ground. Your videos have been a huge help in coaching me, the human, and we are now able to go for 20 Minute walks at a time in the day when they are not that many triggers out without him launching. Before introducing more triggers into our walks I like to "tune my skills up" by taking your course to give the two of us the highest chance of success.
Tom, I really like how you describe the importance of a great foundation. I think something I’ve learned from my own dog training journey (we have a 10 month old Australian Shepherd) is that your foundation is built on investing the time into your dog’s behavior. They made need more or less than another dog depending on the specific personality and breed of your dog. Our dog is still developing every day and our consistency has been critical in her development. Thanks so much for providing us with a glimpse into your experience and expertise.
Thank you so much for providing this information on UA-cam for those of us that can’t afford an in person trainer. It shows your compassion and dedication.
Hi from the UK. I have a rescued GSD X Malinois and have got my hands full! I'm really working on his obedience, and I'm a firm believer that his issues are actually MY issues!
I love forming positive associations and experiences and continuing to build my dogs' confidence!
Hi Tom, I’m in North East England and have 5 dogs, 3 malinois and 2 spaniels and your videos are gold. Thank u
I would love to enjoy a complimentary reactivity course. My 14-month old Dobie has been reactive and scared of most things since I got him at 8 weeks. I've worked with trainers and I work hard every day, working on this. Months ago I switched to a Martingale pinch collar, which helps, but we still have reactivity problems. Last night was a good break through. I stopped to chat with a new neighbor, a big guy, wearing a hat and sunglasses. My Dobie barked and lunged a bit, then up on his hind quarters to twist and spin. I put him in the "sit," lasted a few seconds. Did this a couple of time. Then decided not to use verbal commands. Instead, I used the correction collar as needed. I remained calm, and continued speaking to my neighbor. Within two or three minutes, my Dobie calmed enough to be still and silent, no longer focused on the neighbor. He stood at my side and looked around. I hope this means I showed leadership by not losing control or getting frustrated with my pooch. As always, Tom, I am grateful for all your hard work and dedication to dogs, trainers, and human owner/handlers.
My shepherd mix puppy is 10 months old and we're struggling with separation anxiety and now piling on reactivity. Your content is so clear and direct, love it!
Ervin from northern Canada (middle of nowhere)
Been watching dog training videos for years and have done extensive research for about 9 years. I am getting a new pup from a breeder and look forward to applying all this training! Your videos are easily digestible and I always have the notifications on so I can watch instantly!
Boone likes everybody and leans toward being submissive with most other dogs. Our struggle is his excitement when people come to our house or on a walk when they want to pet him. I’ve watched ‘a ton’ of your videos and what you teach makes perfect sense until we’re in a situation and I can’t think straight. But thankfully when we look back we can see steady improvement has been taking place. Thank you for guiding us along the way.
I'm from South Africa.
You are one of the best educational channels on UA-cam. I have a 1.5 year old German Short-hair Pointer/ Weimereiner mix that has been reactive to people and other dogs due to limited exposure while I was sick and unable to take her out as much as I would like to. Your content is super helpful...
Would love to visit your facility and and just hear more about everything you do.
I love that you got a boerboel. They are a token of pride for South Africa.
Keep up the good work. Keep insisting on calm, assertive leadership. I used to be a nervous wreck because my Great Dane was out of control. The potential harm he could cause was so stressful. But I have been watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for a year now.
Watching from Oregon. Love all of your videos. I have a 12 year old golden, and he and I were attacked when he was 5, and since then he's been reactive. Watching your videos have really helped us both. Thank you!
I actually thought about purchasing the reactivity course as I’ve learned so much from your UA-cam videos and the free membership trial. I was discouraged by all the negative comments about it when I did a google search, but you know what? It’s going to be my next step in training, because I want to know I’ve tried everything to help my girls out. Thank you for your work. Putting a prong on my mali x was the first step towards gaining some confidence that I could handle her and to make our walks more manageable while we worked on obedience. She’s now on a flat collar with a backup harness as the prong was not helping with her big reactions, but we couldn’t have gotten here without the exposure. Grateful.🙏
My border Collie pups (almost 1 year old) just got started on obedience training and I am learning a lot! Thank you for your videos.
Your content is bang on. I'm loving the shorts. Love it all. Keep it coming, keep it coming. Florida
Thank you for the video! My dog has always been reactive since I adopted him at 6 months old, but I believe the main reason he became even more reactive is because of my own fear. I think he's just trying to protect me, especially from boys and men. It’s entirely my fault, and I’m working on it. I’m doing my best to change my mindset.
Male, 3 year old, fixed Standard poodle here. I KNEW it was a respect issue. We had 1:1 training for months when he was young, moved cross country (military family) and everything went downhill. Our consistency in that stressful few months was lacking and he knows that. Haven’t been able to get him back on track alone. 🤞🏼
I can see how my dog feeds off my energy. We both need this.
I have a 3 year old Cockapoo and she is extremely reactive towards other dogs and people. She’s fine around family and family’s dogs but ones she doesn’t know she is super reactive towards. I would love to own your course but I’ve been on disability since July 2023 due to a severe injury that happened at work and my income is limited monthly and barely pays the bills. I don’t get to go back to work till next year sometime either. My dog could 100% benefit from your course so that she would be way better behaved on walks and around other people and there dogs. Anyway I want to thank you Tom for all the videos you make and all the knowledge you share with people. You are a blessing to the dog trainer community.
Thanks Tom. I have started just going over basic obedience with my dog again, he knows all of the commands very well. He slipped back because I slipped with his accountability with his basics. Amazing how he picked up that I was getting slack. Back to non-negotiable now, can’t believe I almost let that go subconsciously. I have your video and it’s great.
Your videos have helped me build a better bond with my foster gsd that was terrified of everything. It's been 6 months and we can now go on walks without fight or flight kicking in over every little thing.
So helpful. I watched an older video of yours months ago about stop talking to your dog so much. It has helped so much. This was a great reminder.
Thank you. 🙏
You always give me a boost making me know I can improve my good relationship with my dog friend. Thank you so very much.❤
Hi Tom. I happened to stumble across your channel last weekend. I watched a few videos and connected with you instantly and subscribed immediately. I have a 7 month old male Goldendoodle that does not listen to me and after watching your videos, I realized the problem was me. I bought a slip lead and we have been training each night in the back yard and I saw an improvement in just a few sessions. I am truly thankful for you and your videos.
My aussie is killing me with this. Reactivity has been an issue since he was 9 weeks. Now near 7 months and getting harder at nearly 50 pounds and still growing. These are great tips. Will continue to try more
Tom I love how much your training has evolved !
I am a behavior modification trainer and your knowledge and videos here on UA-cam has helped me be better and more successful with my clients! Would love an inside look to get even more information and how you do what you do!
From South Carolina. We have a 5 month old Border Collie. We have been following you since we got her at 9 wks old. We also have a 13 and 9 yr old GSD’s. Wish would have found you a lot sooner but we are very happy to be a part of your community now!
Your videos have our lives so much better!!!
Hello, Tom!
Still sharing your site everywhere I go, am excited to share that our local pet store has your site and is excited about your videos! 😊
With our new (dumped, injured stray from last year) german shepherd training has been going great! I am SO ready to take the basics to the next level, and should I be chosen also be sharing what I learn at our pet store (am guilty of helping customers when they bring their pups and I see them struggling with control in the store 🤭).
With our Zane, it took most of a year from him to finally really warm up to us and realize there will never be abuse in our home, and we will never abandon him. The transformation in the last month has been epic!
Safe travels overseas!
I watch all your videos and it’s helped so much with my very dominant Rottweiler. He is almost 2 years old now and has just started being aggressive towards other dogs. I would love to win your course, I really want him to be a positive ambassador for his breed.
Hey Tom! I’m from CO and I hope some day you do a seminar here again! I have a miniature American Shepherd which I do competitive obedience with. I love you so much and thank you for being such a wonderful instructor and dog trainer!
Thank you, Tom! So grateful for your videos - I always get something out of them and I can’t wait to come to your facility with my border collie one day. We’ve grown and learned so much together (I adopted him as a puppy late February of this year) thanks to you and I know we’ll really hit it out of the park with your 1:1 help! Much love from the Finger Lakes!
My husband and I are trying so hard to do all of these things…hopefully soon we’ll get it down! Thank you for what you do!
Many times, we come back from a short walk and I'm too disappointed by the 'quality' of the experience with my pitbull mix. Sometimes I'm depressed for days.... but many times, I stumble upon one of your videos and it's like a breath of fresh air! Light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks for doing this Tom. 🙂
❤ Tom thanks for all the free help with your videos! I learn so much from you! ❤ My dog thanks you too!❤ from Oregon!
Austin TX. Glad I found your videos. I have a 1.5 neutered male rottie. My big guy became reactive after a bad interaction with an off leash dog. Doing my best to be proactive during walks and redirecting him but would love to be able to step aside and let another dog walk past without him going crazy.
I fostered an intackt male dog, he was already 5 years old. He was a verry chill dog from the beginning but didn't know the basic comands and walking on the leash was crazy. Now he has a new family and is a chill dog with training 😂
Still i would love to learn from you since i work in ver med and love learning about dogs language and communication.
I just got my new boxer puppy. He is 3 mo old. I’m just watching videos to help me understand my puppy/dog. I’m from South Texas.
Your videos have been so helpful for training my puppy & working with my reactive older dog
I have been following for many years now. In our second set of dogs. We didn't think our pitbull was dog friendly because we rescued her from a fighting ring. However we slowly worked a small black mouth cure into our home and they are the best of friends. Very high energy. However they both go nuts with anyone walking down the street. I realize I need the appropriate equipment to help communicate. We would appreciate any help we could get in this matter. We are a forever dog home so learning these skills will be a life long benefit. We're in Denver CO.
100% do agree with the fact that any of those 5 issues are to do with the owner. If the dog owner is nervous, fearful or not confident, then the dog will be the same or the dog will feel like they have to take over and become protective. It's all about assertiveness, calmness and confidence with you first if you want to have the same with your dog.
You can't have one without the other.
Leslie from Abilene TX.
We have a Mini Aussie who we think had bad experiences with other dogs before we got her. She has great obedience when she’s at home or no one is around outside. She likes dogs once she gets to know them. She’s been through PetSmart’s basic group class and did great. She was nervous, but she still listened. I’ve been watching your videos and trying to implement what I can, but I’m not making any progress. She also does this way less with other people. Mostly me.
I do talk a lot to her but not so much when we are out on a walk. Usually just when we are inside relaxing.
My girl is a on-leash reactive pitbull mix. I've been watching your videos for a long time and a lot of improvement has occurred in many other areas. I would love to attend a physical training session with you, but, I live in Costa Rica😢 there is a serious lack of trainers here that are willing to put the time and patience it takes or in the country period, it's sad.
She does listen to commands, for example just today a lovely lady allowed me to expose my dog to her's, my dog lunged about three times, all three times met with the pop of the leash and then I commanded to sit and she did, but hair is still standing and she's huffing and puffing in spot. I've tried as many things as I thought were/are possible but there's always something to learn. Especially with your course.
Treats are a no go, no matter if it's juicy chicken, she does not enjoy food or her toys out of the House bc she is too busy being reactive.
I want her to be able to enjoy her walks more just as much as I would love too, take her places, I want her to be a free dog.❤
Just got a 3yr old boxer from a rescue. They said he was great with other dogs, he bonded with ours great. Went for a walk and we went nuts trying to get to other dogs walking across the street. Definitely appreciated your video, we have some work to do with our new pup.
My 3 year old Australian Shepherd has been like this too since we moved. He boards with other dogs, goes to doggy daycare and plays with other dogs great. But when we're on a leash or there's some barrier to what he wants, he barks like a maniac. Obviously scary for others. It can get better!
This was really insightful as why my dog is acting this way and I’m one of those people spending money and not getting the results watching and trying to figure out why I’m going wrong. So thank you for all the videos you post
I just discovered your channel and it’s giving me hope that my dogs will grow up and become good citizens.
Mike Quiñones
Love your advice man! I'm excited to start my journey of dog ownership but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.. having a well trained dog is a dream and I know that with your help you make dreams come true!
I have a 6 month old leash reactive GSD puppy. Looking forward to learning more about how to resolve this issue before she gets too out of control. We took her to a training who emphasized on not focusing obedience training and focus on socialization.
13 mo OEB intact male. Absolute sweety and loves other dogs unless they are approaching head on or reacting to him. Working hard on building his confidence
Hi Tom!
We're just outside of Montrose pa and you're definitely needed in this rural area!
Our guys are getting worse. First territorial both people and other animals. I got them good with rabbits n deer, but the neighbors cats and humans with dogs walking past no longer are tolerated.
They are still good in public with people, but even our camper and the kennel are now second homes.
Close calls with other toy reactive dogs, others barking etc... I think have contributed.
Now even other puppy that one was good with.
Help!
We are in Cadillac, MI with 2 spayed boxer mixes (both 2 years old). The one has turned aggressive toward the other to the point we're having to separate them. Working with obedience training now. Thanks for your videos. They are so helpful!
Would very much benefit from this course! So grateful for your work!
Miss tutorials and videos so much.....so sorry i had to leave membership. Thanx for being around and sharing your knowledge.😊
I’m in Connecticut I have two goldens. Been trying to train one for therapy work. She’s timid and sensitive. Sometimes picks people to greet particularly disabled people. My ten year old granddaughter has cerebral palsy
This is an excellent video.
Thank you. I think 90% of my clients hear these 90% of these words from me. If they understand the message, I do not need to see them twice. This video comes as close as you possibly can in 10 minutes to explaining everything an uninformed Dog Owner needs to know.
Thanks for all you do! Your methods are why we can have calm walks and great times with our dog!
I find your videos very informative and well thought out. Reactivity is a huge challenge. I've successfully trained several of my dogs through the years, but my foster fail of almost two years is still reactive to the point that neither of us gets enough walking time because he has injured me by pulling me off my feet, and there were a few times I thought we would both end up under a car. We'll keep working at it, though.
We've come a long way since watching your videos. We've gotten to the point where we can walk past a neutral dog, but walking past another reactive dog sometimes puts my dog over threshold. We know the problem dogs (really, the owners) to avoid in our neighborhood. If this course could keep my dog neutral around other reactive dogs, it would be a game changer!
Hello Tom, from Australia. I love your videos. Thank you for putting them out there. I have a 3 year old German Shepherd who is reactive to certain sounds, the postie, delivery people, people wanting to touch him. He’s great when we accept people into our home, but he’s not good with people he doesn’t know.
You made my day Tom, thank you so much! 🤩 I was looking at that course for a while and now with the discount code I just purchased it! 👍 I look very much forward to work through the course 😊🐾🐕💝
I'm so excited to start your course. My dog already learned place!
I really need your course. My Great Dane is super sweet at home, but so reactive when he sees people in the car and on walks. I look forward to more videos and learning handling and obedience for me and my Franky Doo.
Absolutely love your videos! I am in Indiana and have been watching you since I got my now 9 month old Pomsky. We have gone through one obedience class but he is still reactive to people and other dogs and pulling on the leash. They said he was really shy so we are still working on building his confidence and the basic commands with him. Hopefully we will have them mastered soon! Thanks for you're help through your videos!
Please come to Las Vegas! Knowing that I’m the reason my dog is reactive is a hard pill to swallow but definitely need to hear it. I would love to learn more from your courses!
Have followed your for several months. Somehow It all looks so easy, yet so tricky when put into practice.
As always you give clear advice, so many people underestimate the power of the basics commands, my dog doesn't really like other dogs but he can walk side by side with a few chosen ones. Our problem is that he doesn't really like other people either, he can be neutral as long as they don't bother him and don't try to pet him, however people are the problem as they don't listen when I tell them to just leave him.
Anyway thank you Tom and Tom's team for bringing all this information and training techniques to so many all over the world and free of charge. Amazing content always.
Definitely ❤ the Myth Buster that all dogs have to like all dogs and people, but owners need to know how to mange that and not have unrealistic expectations. I really enjoy watching your videos for different reasons, clear explanations/expectations to both dogs & humans, I like seeing how you mange both private & group settings, I love getting confirmation on yep that’s how I would handle that situation and especially love when you show something I forgot or haven’t thought of, and I would love to experience all this in person.
Thanks for these tips. We adopted a female red heeler who was very reactive especially on the leash. We have made steps in the right direction trying to train her on our own, but I think the training course could be a big help.Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for this video! I definitely have a reactive dog and get so nervous when we go out for walks… this video helps me realize there are things that I might be doing to make it worse.
Too much talking 😂 got it.
I LOVE the 'proximity/repetition desensitisation' technique 💖 it is gold
Thank u for this. I had a very scarey senario last night when my 3yr old aussie got away from me and advanced on a dog 2x her size. Thank god that dog is not aggressive. I have known i am the problem for sometime just didnt know what to do abt it. Will be watching all your videos and subscribing for sure! Thanks, very concerned and scared dog mom here!!!
Hi Tom ! I Just wanted to thank you for giving us these videos for free. They have been incredibly helpful. I have a 4 yo GS which was extremely reactive. I watched your videos and I think we have made such improvment. We are not there yet but we are better. Previously I had tried with 7 different trainers and to be honest all I did was wasting money. I hope someday I can purchase one of your courses. Im from Colombia 🇨🇴 so sadly I can not afford it, but know that you are so inspiring and you are changing lives. 😄
Good information. I like how you mentioned reactivity cannot be fixed without some foundation behaviors first and there MUST be trust!
Hello from NC. I love watching your videos. You explain things in such an easy way to understand. Thank you for all that you do.
Our girl Molly (Rottweiler) is leash reactive, she is 3 years old, off leash she is friendly with other dogs. At new places she is better than around our neighbor hood.
I feel like I've gotten really far with my dog Bella and want to move to something past the beginner phase and these tips were very helpful!
I just recently got your 280C e-collar and am excited to teach her more and more.
Great video! Very concise but lots you can learn from it! 🤘
Tom thank you so much for all you do you don't know how much you've helped me it's been so difficult my daughter and I are both disabled we're not wheelchair-bound however we have a rare genetic disorder called EDS syndrome very painful My daughter's 27 doctor specialist advised us to get a dog to support her physically and mentally! Our condition is very RARE , With our condition our legs start shaking and we can just fall down at any time as well as having what you call a syndrome p.o.t.s . My daughter and I are both on disability. It's been extremely difficult. it's a long story. The bottom line is we have a 3 year old German Shepherd ( neutered at the age of 16 months) .we have had him since he was 6 weeks old unfortunately we got him right before covid. When covid hit no one was training. Unfortunately we are immune compromised so we got covid four times I did my best to train kylo (German Shepherd) went through a couple of trainers that I couldn't afford or it wasn't a good fit. Unfortunately kylo had been attacked a couple times as well. He's a really good dog he has leash reactivity and my daughter has the difficult time training with him physically So between your videos and other trainers I just did the best I could to train him. we live in California we really could use your help. We are financially on a dime short from being on the streets it's very difficult.
I just so want kylo to be trained correctly so he can do what he was supposed to be used for and that was to help my daughter with her condition as well as having some type of normal life. Again he is not super bad I've been able to train him to do certain things in the house such as take things up the stairs to my daughter. He knows basic commands. However we need help. If you're unable to help us it's okay all your videos have been so helpful and I just thank you so much for all the love you have for all the dogs and the people that have helped these dogs deserve to be properly trained .it's not fair to dogs never mind the fact of it being extremely irresponsible of an owner not to properly train their dog.. Thank you again I (we)) appreciate all you do!❤
