00:00 Walking into the Dog Shelter
00:12 What's his problem?
00:24 Where do we start?
01:35 How to be safe
02:22 How to get closer
03:30 How to keep him close to you - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.
People who surrender dogs for reasons like "it got too big" should be charged with neglect/abuse...
It's hard to charge people with stupidity.
Yep
I was gonna say something but yeah I agree that's just stupid unless they just took it in as a puppy and it really did get too big. Still stupid tho
They should be fined the amount it would cost to take care of that dog for the rest of it's life
I think if you started to charge them for things like that, then they would do far worse things to get rid of the dog.
At least now it's somewhere safe and not abandoned out in the street.
Made me cry, too. When my husband died 5 years ago, everybody said to me to move off our farm, but I am still here for my dog 2 cats × 1 Llama! Icouldnot face giving up my 8 year old dog! The same goes for my cats ! the Llama! I am 77 . I hope that I will be able to stay on the farm a while yet. 👋🇨🇦
You're doing the right thing. This idea that animals have no feelings and can just be dumped off somewhere without hurting them is ridiculous. My biggest fear with my dog was that I might die before her, leaving her feeling I had abandoned her and wondering what she did wrong. She died last Summer and I won't get another at this late stage (74) because I can't take the risk.
@@davidkachel Just make arrangements for a pet ahead of time with a trusted friend or relative that would continue your commitment to your pet. No need to deprive yourself of the companionship of a good dog, especially when so many need love and a good home.
🙏
I feel for you, I'm in my late 60's, my husband died 4 years ago and I'm alone on a ranch, taking care of 40 animals. It's very hard, my back is terrible because of an accident long ago, but I'm trying to keep on going because I can't just get rid of them, they need me and I care for them, and love them too.
Oh, 40 animal to take of?
i'm a dog trainer at a humane society shelter in the usa. your videos are always really helpful, i deal with dogs like this every day. the correct approach for a dog who is fearful/reactive is hard to explain, your videos do a great job of showing people how to do it properly. thank you!
Thanks for what you do!
My dog passed in September. He was a fearful, reactive guy. Many thought it was aggression, but it never was. I got him just after his first birthday. He came from a very chaotic home. He was just a big baby at heart. He was terrified of everything: loud noises, especially fireworks, the wind, wind chimes, etc. My heart broke when I lost him. I have a Belgian Malinois now. I've made an effort to expose him to lots of stuff. He doesn't care about fireworks. The first time they were going off in our neighborhood after I got him, we went outside and played fetch and tug during the noise so he would get used to it. When New Year's Even came and went this year, he didn't even care about all the fireworks. I've learned a lot from videos like this.
@@S-R-H So sorry for your loss 😢😢🐾🐶🐾
This so reminds me of how I adopted my boy. “Too big” as a surrender reason (10 months old) under socialized and very fearful. Blessed to have him, and thanks to a great trainer I boarded him with and Tom we have a beautiful relationship.
same here only except i feel cause of tom and ceasar milan's techniques combined that i have bonded stronger then ever before with my 6 year old black lab son im going to train him starting now so that in about march to april when the weather gets nice i can set him up to be successfully respectable in public
woohoo!
@@tomdavisofficial i agree , me to , except my black lab is a rescue , thanks to Tom im training him to be a respectablt ESA at all times in public , 1st time in a month Tom gave me inspiration to start leash training , well most amazing thing happen , while i was leash training i stood still and for a brief moment my boy decided to turn without me telling him then he learned when i stop to sit and relax then break and to remain by my side , Tom thank you for reminding me to recall my black lab i feel cause of you teaching us what to do with leash reactivity that you saved my son's life , yesterday i went on a walk him fedex shows up behind me i run over to my neighboors driveway and my son go so pissed off at fed ex that on a second notice he 2 houses down from me and i imediately grabbed the retractable leash to pull him back followed by recall and he hauled his tail fast he could to me in exchange for saving his life i have cut on my finger that looks as if the leash cut or burnt a cut to the 2nd or 3rd layer on my finger , it was so worth the cut to save his life then today i did some work with after i saw his new upload that it felt so good to see that my training is starting to take effect
Or we can just get a cute little dog who won’t she’d like crazy and look so huge
I have a 135 lbs Pyrenees/Anatolian. I got him from some random people in the boonies while I was riding backroads. He was in a medium sized kennel with 11 other dogs, 2 separate litters. I immediately saw how much more fearful he was than the others, and my heart melted. He was also beginning to have mange breakouts. This whole story is to tell you all that that stop on Zion st ended up with me having a 20 lbs 2 month old pup. I didn’t really know he was going to get huge, but I learned along with him. WE overcame his fears and his mange. And now at a year and 6 months and he is the best dog I have ever had. I love my big Z and don’t know what’d I do without him. Take a chance on that pup y’all.
OMG that is a huge dog mix
I think this dog has some Pyr or Anatolian in him too. He really looks a lot like the Akbash Anatolian. And that would explain his guardedness and slowness to warm up. He will probably never get comfy with new people right away.
I adopted a Great Pyrenees /Anatolian shepherd mix and he is so gentle. He is very wary of strangers, but once you ignore him he wants your attention. I cannot imagine doing this to my big guy.
What a stressful place for all the dogs.
Trainers like you help people that get a dog that is more then they bargained for.
Thank you for this!
It can be yes, thanks for watching :)
@@tomdavisofficial I'm wondering if you can give me an answer. I'm heartbroken owner of a former DOGGO ARGENTINO. His name was Barron I had to euthanize him. From the moment we brought Barron home he was a beautiful puppy. We spoiled him. We gave him lots of attention. Lots of love. We also had a little Chihuahua, which we bought after we had Barron. Barron never hurt. the Chihuahua was very loving with the Chihuahua, the little Chihuahua would bite him draw blood from his jowls, and Barron would just push him away with his snout. But the problem Barron bit me three times the first time I gave a bone to Barron and went to Charlie my Chihuahua. When Barron tried to take CHARLIE's phone, I pushed him away and Bar and Drew blood requiring me to go to the hospital to get stitches the second time Barron bit me he was on my bed, which was a mistake of me letting him go on my bed. I went to move him from my bed and again he sent me the hospital with stitches ripping my chin, the third and final time, my wife took him for a walk. I hadn't realized that my wife was petting him and he was resting his head on her lap and I called him over to me. Normally in the morning, he would jump up on my chair and come right to me and I would pet him and kiss him . This time Barron seemed reluctant to come. He came to me twice and went back to my wife. The third time he came to me like reluctantly when I went to pet him, he pushed his whole entire weight against me and growled. I knew I was in trouble. He was close to my neck. I pushed him away, and when I did that he went out and attacked me. I will send you videos of the interactions that Bar had with me the love that he showed and yet he was like Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde what did I do wrong with this dog? Did he have rage syndrome? I'm just trying to figure out what I did wrong to make him bite me so much, and have no trust in me, I was thinking that perhaps he saw me as an Alpha and that he felt my strength when we would play with one another tug-of-war I'm a strong guy bench pressing over 400 pounds yet it seemed that he had it out for me to challenge me all the time for example, I would lay on the floor, and if Barron was nearby, he would try to lay on top of me and try to alpha me and if I tried to get up, he would growl at me. I'm just perplexed as to why this dog was this way I'm heartbroken as well as I loved Baron with all my heart. But I did not want to get killed by him. I never hit him was it because he was not fixed I never had him neutered. I just am searching for answers.

The shelter has blame as well. Side note learn how to look after the animal you are taking home and a lot of that is caring.
Aww noodle's a sweetheart but the shelter environment makes him stressed. He desperately needs someone who can build that trust with him. The fact that he was dropped off because he got too big shows me those people who had him before were not ready to have a dog at all. It's unfortunate that Noodle is in the situation he is now but I think his chances are good now that the shelter has an idea of how to work with him ❤
It;s tough, thanks for watching :)!
Those people have a right to choose who or what to allow in their home.
My dog turned out to have serious fear reactivity/fear aggression issues that the shelter hid from me, he'd also been adopted and returned and transferred multiple times. It's certainly a long and difficult process, but you develop a special kind of bond after working through the worst of these issues, and they really can become the most loyal and loving pets you'll ever have. They just need a bit of time and stability and effort.
Well does that not show his owners before and the shelter have a lot of blame.
@@OrbitalRoc I can understand why they might be reluctant to give too much detail about the dog's history because they want the dogs to be adopted and shelters are often overrun and desperate, because of lack of funding, lack of space to keep them all, etc., but you are right. I feel it is unfair to both the dog and the new owner. New owners can be blindsided by existing behavioral or medical problems that they were not made aware of and were unprepared to deal with because it was hidden from them during the adoption. I think it also causes additional stress and trauma to the dog to be adopted and then returned.
Please, please do more shelter videos! You are awesome and can teach so many shelter workers in person and people looking to adopt via your videos. You truly can make even more of a difference❤. Can you imagine if you offered (local ad only) a group lesson at a shelter for adoptees? Goodness the positive impact on some homeless pets!
Yes please - dog lovers really connect emotionally with this type of video - and can learn so much from Tom before making that trip to the shelter.
Reminds me so much of my Rottweiler Roxy. She's 3 years old and I rehomed her 9 months ago. I'm her 8th home because she's very reactive, and certainly the most energetic Rottweiler I've ever known. Fortunately I have experience with Rottweilers, and a few sessions with a dog trainer has helped me learn new techniques in handling Roxy.
The previous owner told me Roxy had a date to be euthanised before I took her home with me, and this leaves me feeling cold inside, because she's the sweetest companion you could want. Hard work certainly (trainer thinks she's from a working line), but typical loving Rottweiler temperament.
People really do need to be aware what they're getting into when they get a dog.
If I won the lottery, I'd buy a farm and set it up as a sanctuary for adopted dogs!
Thank you, for helping the dogs that need adopted! 💕
Thanks for watching!
Heartwarming interaction. Noodle appears to be responding well. Trust is precious.
There r no bad dogs ! U r hands down the best trainer that I learn from ur videos! Thank u
Thanks for te support!
What a beautiful dog! Thank you for helping him.
Thanks for watching :)
Most dogs that have been abandoned by their owners will be insecure and have trust issues when in a cage in a shelter. Lots of time, patience and compassion needed to rebuild their faith in humans again - as demonstrated - well done.
You can see how relieved he is that someone made him feel safe ❤ my standard poodle could never handle a shelter, he would just shut down and let himself die so I’ve made plans for him on the off chance that anything happens to us
I just rescued a 2.5yo Rottweiler from my local SPCA and he's a piece of work... I've rescued several other dogs in my lifetime and after a couple weeks they've been pretty trusting but this one takes the cake for non-trust, its been 9 weeks and he's still very standoffish and doesn't take much for him to keep his distance from me... He'll snuggle with me or up against me for a minute but then catches himself and backs away.... time and patience..
I know but he is already starting to accept you because you are not showing fear or aggression 😊beautiful job
I'm not crying, you're crying!
❤
How refreshing to watch the steps of approaching the rescue dog step by step to make him more adoptable. It’s hard to view this dog as potentially aggressive but I understand why there is an emphasis on safety protocols. Well done.
Who surrenders their dog. If i was living in my car I wouldn’t surrender my dog.
Thank you for helping Noodle!
Thanks for watching!
Noodle is beautiful. I pray that he is adopted by a loving owner that can provide the right environment, one where he can get lots of opportunities for fun exercise. Large dogs need consistency from their owners in providing daily exercise and regaining social skills. Patience patience patience new owner and of course lots of love ❤
I am so incredibly grateful for videos like yours. My husband and I will be buying a house in a few months and we definitely want to adopt a shelter dog! We have no real preferences except to be good with small children and cats. We are going to let the doggie pick us. From videos like these we know not to judge a book by it's cover and the dog we may see in the shelter may not be the dog they will be when they are not in such a stressful environment. I have learned so many tips and tricks on how to take care of a shelter dog. Thank you ❤
THIS GIVES ME FAITH IN HUMANITY - i’m gonna make a shirt/hoodie that says adoptdontshop!!!! everyone thinks that the dogs at the shelters are only there bc their owner gave them up for wte “problem” - the humans. are the ones that have the problems. it breaks my heart more than anything in the world that these dogs are having to carry the weight of all of the problems of humanity; as result thousands of perfectly good dogs are being euthanized for “space”
our country needs a massive friggin wake up call
@1dmullins what you commented was PERFECT!!!! My family has always either adopted from shelters or had strays. They are the MOST perfect pets in the world! Right now we have 2 kitties, one my daughter got for me when she was in the kitty aisle at Walmart getting food for her kitties and this homeless couple had this tiny kitten in a cart that they found out by the woods where they camp. My other kitty was mine originally (from the shelter) then because of life circumstances my Mother In Law took her and now my Mother In Law had to go into a medical nursing home and I got Miss Kitty back! I love my kitties like my children! I can't wait to get a dog 😊
Wow, the problem-solving skill is extraordinary, the read on Noodle's signals is quite impressive. He was a very nervous boy
Thanks so much!
So kind of you to do this! I unknowingly got a mal/gsd from the shelter. It's been a process, but she's been great!
I more curious how it was "unknowingly" both of those dogs look similar and are very identifiable, even as puppies, as their breed...
@@MrWarren1991 We were told at the shelter that she was a shepherd/chow chow/ possible lab mix. I had actually never heard of a malinois before. She was really shy and low energy at the shelter, so we thought she'd be easy. Three days after we got home she was bouncing off the walls with energy. We love her very much and have changed our lifestyle to cater to her and what she needs as far as exercise, good food and play time. This channel has helped so much with training. She is extremely smart.
Good luck!
@@tomdavisofficial she is doing fantastic now. She's so smart! Thanks for all your advice and help!
Thank you showing the world how sweet this good boy is. I hope now he will find a forever home. He looks so much like my Beau, who is a Great Pyrenees mix I adopted at a puppy rescue. I can’t imagine my life without my two dogs. In the right home, this dog and his human will be very happy together. ❤
Your video truly moved me to tears! I have a similar dog, but he's cream-colored and faces the same challenges. Sadly, some people label such dogs as aggressive without understanding their need for trust-building. Your guidance in the video is helping me train him, though it's tough to find behaviorists like you nowadays. Thank you for your invaluable work!🙏
Poor soul, he's so scared
He has so much potential!
My guess is that the reason they gave for giving him up, was not the true reason they gave him up. As someone who does rescue, people give all kinds of reasons- they are not going to tell you a dog is reactive, because they know he won't get adopted. He is also a LGD, so it is in his DNA to be reactive, and he is in a chain link kennel open on all sides in a warehouse building. That kennel set-up is awful. You have no idea his background. He may be just fine.
I love you & what you do for these dogs ❤❤ I always say no bad dogs
Thank you for the supoort!
@@tomdavisofficial we have all rescues, big and little
I am a 58-year-old flight attendant woman that has just took on a little more than I can handle. I watch your videos constantly, helps
I have a big mix German Shepherd golden retriever. I’m working hard with mostly high energy. She goes for lots of walks and Dog Park to get that energy out. She’s only 11 months now.
Jumping over excitement when people come over and other dogs. It sucks when you’re in a house or a small area.
Very cool! After that shake off you can see his tail change some right before Tom says he looks like he wants to play. Between being dropped off in a new place away from what he knew as home and all of the constant barking and the restless dogs this happens to so many dogs and they shut down in these environments. Thanks for showing this guy some love and hopefully the staff what a little time with each dog can do to help get them adopted.
Yes!!!
You Rock Tom!
Thank you!
All the barking, it makes me wanna cry knowing my boy went through that and that there's still thousands going through that every day... Once I'm living on my own, I definetely will adopt/foster some shelter dogs. Love the work you do Tom!
If you think that dog is big or breaking down, you should come to the shelter where I volunteer (Yolo County Animal Services).
I would so like to believe all shelters have this capability and put in the effort. Great job!
Noodle will make you (future home adopter) a better person.
Yeah! He's great!
so sad...... SO sad... working with shelter dogs takes a lot of time for them to build trust from humans and for them to be ,.. DOGs... Great work...
Thank you!
I just wanted to thank you again for all that you do and what your are doing for me, your comunity and Henry my 9 month old golden. For what I've learned, I thank you with all my heart!
This past year I rescued a ferril cat off the street at my office in downtown Montgomery AL (Oscar). I worked with him for about two months to gain not only my trust but the additional trust of my collegues. I eventually had her adopted by by a co worker, her family of dogs, cats, and childen. It touched me and all of my 65 office mates to see him move to a better controlled life. I'll post a picture of Oscar if I can... Thank you again for all you do. Keep doing what you do and I appreciate you and your team!
This is so heartwarming! Thank you for helping vulnerable dogs. And thanks for sharing such a hopeful and helpful video in these chaotic and fearful times. It gives such a good example about how compassion and kindness still alive. Let’s all do our best to share and give back to people and animals who need it.
Thank you for making this
Thank you for watching!
Your videos always make my day❤ The connection you have with dogs and the hard work you put in changes these dogs lives forever! I hope your reaping what you sow comes back 10 fold in your life because you deserve it. Outside of the rewarding feelings you receive helping. Still watching but confident Noodle will find a home because of you!
My heart broke seeing that poor dog in back pacing frantically wagging his tail for attention while having to watch the man attend to the shy one. What about him??? A real tear jerker.
Thank You for helping Noodles he’s the sweetest dog who needs love and care!!!❤❤❤
This just broke my heart. The owners were probably told it was a lab mix and didn't realize it was probably a kuvasz mix; with a totally different personality than expected. If they had kids, it probably tried to herd them once too often. But, as a senior, it is my biggest fear. If anything were to happen to me, my great danes would probably turn into much worse than this. One (a covid pup) is terrified of strangers...and I've tried so many methods (and people) to help him. But what most people don't realize is that once a terrified dog trusts a trainer/person, that does not mean the next person who comes along will get a free pass. There just isn't trainers out there with a staff of 20 plus people where the dog learns that all people can be trusted. And if they did, it would cost thousands for the process. I am sequestered for (theirs/mine) life - no parks, day care, in-house care...and no vacations for me (unless I travel hundreds of miles to the only person that they know well enough to trust). I will never abandon them, though. It isn't their fault that they live in so much fear - they can't help it.
Such beautiful dog this Noodle.😢 I went long way with similar fearful dog but smaller one - he was 13 kg, now 22kg. I can't imagine work with such big one dog. It need really skills!❤ Thank you for helping them!
I haven't watched but like a minute of this video, yet. He looks/sounds/acts like a Livestock Guardian breed. Of course he's gonna be big! And he looks young. These types of dogs don't stop growing until around 2 years of age.
People, please do your research before you bring the adorable puppy home!!
Thank you for helping dogs like Noodle and for showing us how you do it! I truly hope more people will see the incredible worth of reactive dogs and that it is possible to help them, they deserve love. Truly no bad dogs, just dogs who need to be shown they can trust and love a human. God bless you
Huge fan of this concept for your videos and look forward to rest of these videos and hearing about the specific updates for the dogs you showcase.
What do you think of Noodle? What do you think of these shelter videos?
I like shelter videos because it helps the dogs realise that some people are good: other training videos is normally about training the owner to understand what their dog needs.
Noodle is so sweet. I love the shelter videos! Very helpful
Excellent video. Please do more. Thank you for at you do!!!!
I really appreciate you kind patience with this dog. I hope he will find a nice forever home. I also hope they seek you out to help ease the learning process.
So beautiful and precious! Thanks so much for all your deep dedication and commitment, based on real love! 🙂
So glad to see you doing this to help that guy. Thank you.
My standard poodle had severe anxiety and trust issues. When I went to get her the people had a long story and did not like her at all. I fell in love. It took a long time for her to look me in the eyes, allow clipping of toenails, not to freak at every sound. She is now 12 and just the best girl. She loves me more than anything and I can do absolutely anything with her.
So many damaged dogs. Mine changed every year for 4 years, so yes, it can take a long time. I wouldn't trade mine for the world. ❤
Your patience and dedication is admirable.
Thank you so much for coming to CARE of DC Tom and helping dogs like Noodle.
He looks like a pyr mix. Very beautiful dog.
I think he is
I was thinking the same thing. That size and the little tint on the ears. Double dew claws are a dead give away if they look like a small polar bear of a dog lol.
Everytime I look over at my 6 month old pup I joke ond and tell him to stop growing but I'd never give him up simply because he's "too big" I knew exactly what i was signing up for when I got a Belgian Malinois!
Tom, your a good person thank you for being nice to the dog. And keeping your cool when the dog is scared. And I hope the dog is doing well. He is soo cute and big.💙🤍❤
Felt for the "English pointer" behind- he wanted the attention.. also very energetic breed. Noodle actually a sweet dog. Just needs lots of attention- someone that can be with him.most of the time..
The shelter environment is so tough on dogs, especially this open set up.
I one’s incountered a dog like this where they were shy so I went in and helped train her to learn to see that not all people are evil and it was a success she soon later got a new home I’m so proud of myself and my helpers
So interesting and nformative to watch you work with these shelter dogs!
Thanks!
Just finished listening to your podcast. Thank you for what you do Tom, you're a fabulous person!
I hope people take you up on your offer.
I hope people stop getting breeds that they think will make them look cool.
What IS cool, is a well balanced/trained dog, but that doesn't happen from sitting on a couch.
We have 2 mals, everyone loves our dogs, they love them because they're well trained.
If you're going to have a dog it takes work. Even when you're tired or it's hot/cold outside.
I've learned a ton from watching your videos over the years. Thank you for all the content you put out! Much 🩷 from Canada 🇨🇦
Tom I love this!!! Seeing you do first hand d work is amazing to watch and admirable. Thank you for choosing to go to shelters and help, there’s a huge shelter animal problem every where it’s so sad. Seeing dogs be adopted then returned is awful
Thank you so, so much, Tom
I adopted a dog with a similar situation about 3 months ago. She is 3.5 years old, was surrendered first at 9 months, had 4 failed adoptions, and was in the shelter for 16 months between the last adoption attempt and when I brought her home. She overcame her fear with me and my partner, and she is a wonderful companion for us. But now I have a big challenge. She still sometimes reacts fearfully to strangers, barking, lunging, and even sometimes nipping. I have to be very careful about introducing her to new people. I need to get one of your “My Dog Bites” hats, I think. 😂 I wish I could bring her to your academy! (We are in California.) She’s such a good girl and I totally love her. Your videos are very helpful and I really appreciate what you do!
Tom has videos on what to do when strangers approach your dog. I learned a lot and maybe they could help you too.
She may think she needs to protect you, and he has videos on that too :)
@@JamieM470 Great point! Yes, I’m voraciously watching his videos and learning all that I can. I started out doing “corrections” when she barks or lunges at people, but am now learning that’s not the right approach. Currently trying to create lots of positive and happy encounters with strangers for her and keeping the reactivity from happening in the first place. I’m also very grateful to all the wonderful dog-people out there who are willing to meet me and my dog and help me create those positive experiences, even knowing she might bark at them at first. 💕💕💕
Thank you so so much for this! I am a long term volunteer and this is what we all want to achieve! Thanks for sharing these insights! Wonderful 🙏❤️
Great job Tom
Thank you!
Amazing! I love how you always take the time. Watching your vids have helped me become a better trainer and a better veterinary assistant. Thank you!
Thank you!
Love shelter dogs❤
Same!
Great Energy. Dogs trust and love Tom.
I need tom to do this with my dog. He is a foster fail for the same reason. Loves me and my family, but no confidence around new situations so now he live with me
You respect his thoughts his fear and his acceptance 😊
We adopted a big anatolian shepherd that was surrendered twice because of his size. We had him for 12 years and Trotter was the most intelligent and protective dog we've had.
Really appreciate the topic and thanks for video.
He really is a beautiful dog. As a owner of a highly nervous/anxious dog that is also a large breed and for his stress levels and to be able to get him to focus he is on anxiety meds and boy have they been helpful; it can be really exhausting at the best of times especially when being out in public and or on the rare occasions we have guests over and trying to explain to them the best way to not encroach on his space as he isn’t your typical happy go lucky dog with strangers. He is also very dog selective which is fine. We don’t go on walks to socialise with dogs that’s our one on one bonding time and his opportunity to sniff and smell the world in a safe way to the best of my ability. Thank you for your awareness videos as well as the training /educational videos also Tom. 🖤
Blessings to you for the work that you do!💗
Thanks for sharing your talent
He's beautiful! But their all beautiful!! 💓💗🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎💞💕
Thank you for being helpful to Noodle ❤
Big dog is healthy. We been see dog, but his friendly, everyday come to house, his belong my friend. ❤ animal in the world. Thank people. ❤❤❤
I'm so glad to see you help this boy out, he needed you Tom! I don't know the full story of this dog. But, I hate it when people just surrender their dog without any thought of training first. I have a senior couple that got a dog, but because it escaped from their yard within an hour of arriving they returned it. Because it took them a while to catch it and it freaked the people out. Now they have a super over the top aggressive protective dog. This dog is requiring a ton of work and they can't give it to the fullest. I'm trying everything but running out of ideas. He absolutely hates me in the house but is totally different with me outside. I've talked about a prong and explained its use but the wife has told me multiple times she won't use it even after seeing how different he is in the house. I'm running out of ideas. I can only educate and show them but the dog needs to learn from them. He needs to know he is no in charge. 😔
You are a brave wonderful man. Thank you.
I hate people who get a puppy then as soon as the dog grows up, they dump it. Schmuks! That is one beautiful dog!
When I seen that tail wag I had a smile like a kid on Christmas morning. He is handsome
Thank you for doing these videos and helping these animals. My current dog Stella came from Craigslist. The owner said that she had an appointment to surrender Stella if she didn’t find anyone. I can’t imagine if Stella went to a shelter. She is fearful and reactive in certain situations. The shelter would have most definitely made it worse. Because of your content and online courses, we have come a long way ❤Thank you
Similar situation to how we ended up with our most recent dog, couldnt get an exact age but around a year, she is OBVIOUSLY part yellow lab and from there it is a toss up, she has some sort of herding breed, possibly Aussie or Border Collie, but also has very strong LGD tendencies.
Beautiful session, Tom! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Once you started to touch him be began to breathe and relax. He needed you. ❤ choked me up to think he could have been put down for being insecure and afraid. Thank you for showing us Noodle has potential
People who dump dogs out of their lives are the worst. This dog looks to me to be of a good natured breed. However his social skills vis-a-vis humans is poor due to being ignored, left alone, and mistreated. He is still developmental at 1 1/2 years old. Affection and positive reinforcements that help him feel valued will bring him around in time. But it must be ongoing and everlasting for him to become the pet he should be. This fellow shows he has the heart to save this dog from an ill fate. ❤❤❤❤❤
tom i absolutely love you mate your amazing, you and will atherton are the only people i watch and trust when it comes to dogs ❤
Great Pyrenees is generally an aloof dog but extremely gentle. Mine was great with kids. She lived almost 14 years, but they need space.
that's pretty cool Tom, all kudos above and beyond ❤
You are great Thomas
Wow! Thanks for this informative video.
Wonderful video, thank you! Love the trick with the lead through the side of the kennel, will definitely use that one 🙏🏻🐾💗
Great job I love dogs. Wish I had million acres for dogs thanks for helping n educating.
He looks like a maremma sheepdog. I have one and they are stubborn, independent and usually untrusting of strangers . These are not easy dogs to train totally different to a retriever- they also bark a lot and were bred as a livestock guardian
great video! hope noodle has been adopted. we just adopted a similarly fearful shelter dog. she's much smaller and not aggressive but the same fearful/timid and maybe a touch more. even after 3 1/2 weeks at home she's doing better! it's a journey, but we definitely see improvement! and we're only a quarter of the dog person/trainer you are! 😄
