I watch too many dog trainers and training videos. Tom is probably the best at communicating without seeming egotistical or degrading people. Soo many trainers just don't have the ability to correct but still have some empathy. A true leader setting a great example for others to follow.
@@emilgabl9069That’s not a particularly useful skill for the average person with a dog. And why not just leave wild animals alone and not use them for stupid clout.

Been watching Will Atherton for the longest and his shout out to you is what got me watching your vids so to see him sitting in the background was a full circle moment
Tom, I have been a fan of yours since I adopted Rocky, my pit/lab mix a little over 2yrs ago. You and a handful of others have helped me understand the dog world and have literally transformed Rocky's life. I can't express enough how thankful I am for your content, videos, and making them available.
I’ve been watching many trainers on here.. it got me and my dog very confused as I was just taking bits and pieces from different people. After binge watching some of your videos something clicked in my head because .. you make sense! Thank god . Thank you. Life just got so much easier for us!
This ⬆️ video… filled with SO much valuable info for struggling owners. Looking forward to meeting Tom at the NY seminar in December. Grab those tickets folks! Already got mine. (Hillary in Boston)
Gotta love a motivated owner! His lab puppy is so darn cute too. Tom, you just keep getting better and better with your communication skills. Way to go!
Amazing seeing Will Atherton in the crowd, shows how much respect you guys have between you guys! Also, at what age is it safe for to start using a slip leash on a puppy?
I love the guy's comment at the end. I was trying to make a decision about the slip and this video solidified my decision. My pup is so energetic and throws fit on walks. The easy walker isn't enough.
I got the Slip Leash and it did help some, but my 6 month old 38lb dog, tries biting and chewing the leash. While walking it helps but he still pulls and chokes himself and seems to be more just overall much more difficult than dogs I see in training videos. It never works like these videos, but it is an improvement.
im having a similar issue as well. mine attacks the leash after the first few tugs. he also doesn't jump when it's on but once i take it off, he starts the jumping. it's like he knows he's free 😑. hard to do the pop trick if the leash isnt on. ugh.
Don't give up and don't get frustrated with the dog or yourself, please! Try to be as consistent as possible in your behavior and handling of the dog and don't forget to reward obedience and good behavior (verbal "good boy!"). Also, when training, use a marking word or sound ("Yes!" or "Chirp!" for example) or an actual clicker to mark exactly what you want. So: dog pulls, "enough!", pop leash, dog stops pulling, "Yes!" (give the marker IMMEDIATELY, before any treat or praise), then reward (with treat, praise, pet, toy, or a short sprint in my dog's case). "Sit", dog sits, "Yes!", reward, "okay" (my release word, sometimes along with a shoulder tap) Remember to teach a release word. It's SUPER important so the dog knows when they are finished doing the thing you asked. Tom uses "break", I use "okay", pick what works for you. Finally, remember that you get what you pet. Don't touch the dog if it's doing something you don't want. Related, don't talk to the dog conversationally when you're training. They don't understand, it's free "rewards" for doing nothing specific, and it turns EVERYTHING we say into white noise. 4 months ago, I rescued an 8 months old stray border collie husky mix. She's been a handful. I leaned into the pulling and got a harness so she could pull without choking herself and I could put pulling on cue or "train her to pull" when I allow it so she can do something she enjoys when I say it's OK. After 4 months she knows the difference between how she can walk when on the harness vs the collar and knows commands for both like "wait" (stop and let me catch up) or "enough" (usually, we jogged or ran a bit and are going to stop running, although this has crossover to stop doing anything she is sometimes allowed to do on cue, like play bite). You can try to redirect the unwanted behavior into something the dog knows and obeys very well. For me, that's sit. Try to anticipate things the dog will pull at and sit them before they notice it. They'll realize they can look, listen, and sniff without running over. And, sitting or laying down is just naturally a less energized position. Beckman's dog training channel has some great practical vids on various things demonstrated on untrained customer's dogs. I find it far more genuinely helpful than Tom (this channel) who crafts most of his vids to try and sell his training course more than help dog owners in need. Search up "leash reactivity" or "loose leash walking" and look for beckman's channel. Beckman's also has a course but some really good free stuff too. Oh, and if the dog is under 18 months, search up "age appropriateness dog training". Beckman's has a couple vids laying out things to expect and to train by age. Some of it is counter to "common knowledge" and nobody else is talking about this subject. Good luck!
Great ro see will Atherton there too, shows that even behaviour specialists still like to learn other trainers techniques. Having a wode range of techniques is important as all dogs are different and respond differently.
2:03 Tom, you know dogs and are an excellent trainer, but my year old border collie husky mix (rescued off the street 4 months ago) would've thought that was a fun, new game. She'd bite into the lead and then jump again right as you started to address the biting of the lead, as though it was a planned distraction for you (as opposed to actually trying to bite through what was restraining her), so she could jump again and hopefully catch you off guard. I appreciate that you're using untrained dogs (or owner trained) and getting to the helpful instruction immediately. However, I always get a chuckle when I know how my girl would react to that training situation. The best one, another trainer, was advocating "turn into the dog, they won't like you bumping into them" when teaching "heel". Nope, she takes me bumping into her as a play cue and starts jumping. Stop the jumping, she starts spinning. Stop the spinning, she starts jumping AND spinning. Lean into that and just teach "spin" and "up!" Seriously, "up!" (jump onto something or into my arms if nothing else available) was her first trick. "In!" (jump into vehicle) was 2nd. "Over" (hurdle something ) was her 3rd. "Spin" she hasn't gotten yet... Or "heel". She thinks it means walk in a square pattern (anticipates my turn into her if she moves up). Energy and intelligence of a Border Collie, stubborn independence and problem solving of a Husky. What could go wrong?! Oh, but we do play a fun game where she does something and I ask her if that's why she got thrown away. She's blissfully ignorant of my meaning. That lab puppy at the beginning was an easy train! Edit, 2:40 try to pay with treats? Nope, she'll jump, paw, and nose at wherever you have the treats...at least until you pay something simple, like "sit" and then sprint 50 yards as a reward to distract her from the treat rewards.
I wish there were links to the training tools you used. I have the same 'rope style' slip and it is NOT effective, but I'm unsure where to get a better one.
Tom is great! I enjoy watching him. I've been training my pup not to jump on people but I do let her jump up on me but stops with a command. So far it seems to be working great. I like letting her be a puppy with me and jumping is part of it I believe. To each his own. Right ✌️
We just brought home a 12 week old rott x great dane mix, and so far training is going well. She's attentive, she's picking up fast on new concepts but she is a jumper. I really appreciate your video. While I'm somewhat familiar with applying leash corrections and positive reinforcement, I really appreciate this even as a short refresher. We're three days in with her, and this is definitely something I want to get a firm start on NOW while she's still little and can't hurt someone by jumping up on them.
Hey Tom, I’m from Melbourne, Australia and just looked up your visit dates, I was so excited to hear you were coming here but unfortunately I’m working that weekend and can’t get off 😢 In relation to this video, I have an eight month old shepherd pup, I have been as good as my novice ability allows me to be with her and training, I’m very happy with her progress and general behaviour, I have put allot of effort into making her a confident puppy(maybe too much), she loves people(too much)and I don’t even take her out to get pats from strangers, we live on a small property and 3 of my adult kids, partners and grandkids live here with us, plus livestock, and we get lots of visitors. I keep her contained in a small yard when we are not working on the property and every trip out of the yard is a combination of her having a free walk and a small training session with distraction(she also has structured training sessions and she is conditioned to markers and reward. She’s great when there are people around or if I’m talking with someone, if she’s on lead, she’s perfect, sits quiet and patiently, doesn’t pull. But if she’s running around free and someone shows up, she’s very excited to see them, even if they say nothing to her, she jumps on them, I can stop her from continuing to do it, even with out a lead, but that’s not before she has dirtied and/or shocked the guest. My question I suppose is, is it, given her age and she’s certainly not an out of control pup generally and she doesn’t jump if she’s on the lead, will she just grow out of it with consistent management? Thanks for all you do here?
@@jessicathompson-gautreaux5992 it’s nice to know I’m not the only one My son has a litter mate sister to mine, lives on same property but different dwelling and is kept separate, other than when we let them run together, but she is much less obedienced trained than mine but is just a much calmer dog, doesn’t jump very much, much happier to hang with her human family, mine is super high drive, she’s with me most of the time and I put a heap of effort in to training her and she looks like she’s an outta control pup at moments when she sees people! It’s quite disheartening at times, but I do remain hopeful that she will grow out of it😬
Leaving a comment. 🙂 I live in Unadilla and have family in Albany...Seriously considering an in-person session sometime. But your videos make so much sense and are already helping. My dog is 5 months old and we both need training. I started out watching so many videos from so many different trainers, we both got confused and frustrated. I'm starting with the basics again and taking it one step at a time. Thank you.
Hey originally from Way upstate NY now living in the Philippines. I just got my first Maligator looking forward to it and thanks for the vids good job! I always like , subscribe and share.
That is really interesting , I have always made my own leads out of very economical things , I am kinda cheap . My long leads are cheap ratchet straps with the hooks removed ,with the small loop end passed thru a medium size clip . Like 18 dollars for four of them . Also about four years ago I made my own lead with a spring loaded clip just like yours .
This is great! I have a bernedoodle puppy who's almost 10 months, but he is huge! I've been trying everything. Could you tell me where I can get the leash?
My 50 lb 7 month old pitbull bird dog mix goes absolutely nuts at play or when guests come over! Very high energy...her claws has ripped my skin open many times. No body likes her....they call her dog from hell. I love her so much though! We get down on the floor and wrestle....watch dog tv in my bed with popcorn. There is love between us and it grows every day. Your videos help but i think nothing will settle her down. She hates the leash....puts up the biggest fuss when i come to her with it. But i manage to get it on...whew!....no fun! I am 75....she is a big challenge. Maybe your slip leash is what i need.
I have one of those, too. But he loves going for walks. My dog us big, and when he and his sister get excited, it's practically dangerous trying to get their leash on with them together.
Hi, it would be amazing if you have a possibility to deliver your No Bad Dog merch to Europe with a cheaper delivery that would be amazing. Love your channel. I rescued two neglected Gordon Setters (brother and sister at the age of 1year). They were tied to a post for 3 month or so. Your videos helped me immensely. You're the best !!! Thank you sooo much
you were in the UK???? so awesome! Hope you had a fabulous time. This video just came up on my feed at the right time. It's one of our last major challenges with my 14mnth GSP. Really helpful thank you! was feeling a bit stuck and running out of ideas.
Thank you so extremely much Tom for all of your videos!!! They've helped me and my 1 yo GSD Zelda so greatly much!!!!! I really like and enjoy your training style. I'm from Australia. 🇦🇺 Thank you so much for your explanation on how to do things and why.
I wanted to ask if you did internships/shadowing? I live in Ohio and I am finishing up my last year of high school and I am wanting to become a dog trainer. I want to learn all I can and I love watching your videos! I have learned so much from you. let me know. thanks!
Working on this with my GSD. What advice do you have when the dog is outside and is air jumping with excitement? My GSD girl can see me coming through the glass door and starts air-jumping….BEFORE I can get a collar lead combo on. I open the door and give a sit command, which she mostly will do then it is air-jumping and OTT excitement while I apply the lead. Currently using gentle leader and 6 foot lead.
My new dog is a very good boy. Super friendly to both strangers and other animals, and he’s been very trainable so far with basics like sit, lay down, etc but excited jumping has been hard for him to get over. Is there a recommendation for best enforcement when he’s not on leash? He also is not a barker but I will occasionally have him with me while I’m working on something and he will cry that I’m ignoring him, but is there a way to address this crying?
The nugget about the springloaded tab on the slip leash had me listen up, as I've been adjusting the tab on ours regularly during walks, and it probably explains why we're not quite there yet with leaving the pulling behind us for good. I checked on getting a better one, but had to find that German law is adding to the fun: as they mandate having a stopper so the slip can't close indefinitely, makers seem to pair this always with a leather tab. Is this an either-or situation, or are their makes out there that would have a spring-loaded tab whilst adhering to the German-law mandated stopper?
I wish trainers did more videos with smaller dogs. I have a Yorkie and I was told that we can't use any leashes on them because of their trachea. How in the world do we teach this to them when all I have is a harness and a leash.
I have a one year-old almost 2-year-old Anatolian/black German shepherd mix. On the leash, he has no problem he will not jump on people. But when they come over family or friends, and he’s off leash, he will jump on them. My question is, do I have to put a leash on him when somebody knocks on my door to come to see me? How do I make him stop jumping on people without a leash in our own home or in our own backyard?
This a very good video. But there are dogs that like to jump and there are digs that LIKE TO JUMP!! The one year old rottweiler I'm taking care of is in the second group. Would love to see a denonstration with that tupe of dog. Do very much appreciate the video.
Would you use the same approach with dogs who are not puppies anymore and into young adulthood? For context, I've got a husky who is a rescue and he's fully grown at 2 years old and jumps up constantly.
Yep training your dog takes vigilance and assertion. It can be positive and negative. I see it with my roomate and her dog. Her dog runs all over her and is clearly in control. When i moved in the dog thought it was in charge of me too. It took about 6 months with some phases that now has that little dog respecting me and my space in a happy and healthy manner. The dog is a bit aggressive with new people. Its a small dog so it was never a big problem! But the dog would circle around behind me and nip at my heels. I warned the dog multiple times with verbal ques which didnt do much. So one day it got kicked gently and began to try and dogfight my foot. Which earned me raising my voice loud enough to strike fear into the animal. He then kept his distance for a couple weeks and i made up with him with food over time. But then the dog began getting dominant again and nipping again, so it earned me going straight to kicking this time. This reduced the dogs nipping to circling behind me and giving me nose bumps over time. This lead to me stopping and turning to face him everytime he began to circle, or the occasional side "air kick" to show im watching him in my space. Emphasis on my space! The dog also has a habbit of sitting at the front door and barking at everything. One day it annoyed me enough to decide to do something. So i came out and shouted hey, while staring down the dog. Gaining its attention, letting it know im the dominant one in the house, and im the threat to its saftey, not whatever might be out there. The dog then diverted attention to the door and barked. So i moved closer to the dog in a fast manner, all while maintaining eye contact and an aggressive posture. I then told the dog to go, and pointed to the room. It did not listen and tried to get to a safe place under a table. I positioned myself to get access to the dog and chase it to the room. Proving to it that i am the dominant one, not it, and it had better listen to my commands or it wont enjoy life. Now the dog fully respects me, we have a happly healthy relationship, he even gives me kisses when i give him his scratching routine. He doesnt bark when im the only one home, and only gives my heel a nose boop when he is really excited. He still acts the exact same way around my roomate though. When she is home it barks at everything. She just tells him no repeatedly then gives him loving coos. Perpetuating the experience unto eternity. Leading the dog to beleive it is in charge of her. Which it technically is. Its never been put in its place by her, never had boundaries set, and it can make her tell him its okay lovingly by barking at thin air after getting into a weird grudge match the human doesnt understand... The only time ive heard her actually try to discipline the dog was when it was knee deep in what sounded like a dog fight. At that point your dog isnt listening to you, its waging war, and trying to discipline it could wind you up being bitten. If you dont control your dog, your dog will control you. The same goes for children.
Your videos have not only given me the proper information about tools like slip/prong collars (as I fell victim to the hate for prong collars that people perpetuated) but you gave me the confidence to use them despite the haters. My Belgian Malinois pup is walking like an absolute gentleman despite his anxiety around the outdoors (traffic/people). Having the proper tools have given *me* the confidence to take him out for walks, which means my anxiety and frustration isn't being passed onto him, and thus he is now slowly gaining more confidence going on walks. He literally gets overexcited now when i take his prong collar off the wall because he knows he gets to go for a walk even if he's still scared.
so what if your dog only jumps when off leash?? ive got the slip leash to use and when my pup is wearing it, he acts great. it's once ive taken it off he goes ham and jumps. any advice??
Any tips for training Appenzeller Sennehound Sheppard Mix? He's a very distracted dog and a big Jumper/Puller I try and correct him but after rewarding his correction He's back to It. He listens Inside, But outside is his domain and He's basically in control.
How do you stop a dog that's off leash and jumps? I was with my sister when she got two weim puppies. They are now 7 years old and still jump all over me when I come to visit. Is it too late for them to learn not to jump?
I have 2 14 week old labs. Everything your doing is on leash, how does it transfer off leash? I need well behaved pups because my 87 year old mom lives here too.
Is there a link for the best spring loaded slip leash? I’m helping train the neighbors new rescue and he is a very moldable boy. I think this would help him immensely
My 6 month old puppy jumps and bites! It's painful 😢 I try stepping on the leash but if he stops to jump he bites my leg instead 😢if I turn my back on him he bites my leg on the back🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I try using the leash on neck correction it works but then he's back at it I'm desperate. I also tried walking in to him claiming my space he doesn't care he keeps doing it,need this leash
From watching a lot of this channel, the slip is used in dogs that are lower intensity and more responsive to the handler. The puppy here is responding well to the slip lead corrections. If you have a dog that doesn't react to the slip pressure, maybe they're just big and not as sensitive or maybe they're reactive and very focused on a particular distraction, then you may consider a prong. There have been some dogs that even the prong is insufficient for, or they re-direct their energy towards the handler, and that's when you'll see the e-collar with vibrate come out. It just depends on what the dog requires to get them to change their focus or acknowledge the correction.
Get the slip used and more here! buynobaddogs.com/collections/training-equipment/products/red-no-bad-dogs-4ft-biothane-slip-leash

“Meet it right in the middle.” Love that for dog training and just life in general.

In relation to this video, I have an eight month old shepherd pup, I have been as good as my novice ability allows me to be with her and training, I’m very happy with her progress and general behaviour, I have put allot of effort into making her a confident puppy(maybe too much), she loves people(too much)and I don’t even take her out to get pats from strangers, we live on a small property and 3 of my adult kids, partners and grandkids live here with us, plus livestock, and we get lots of visitors. I keep her contained in a small yard when we are not working on the property and every trip out of the yard is a combination of her having a free walk and a small training session with distraction(she also has structured training sessions and she is conditioned to markers and reward. She’s great when there are people around or if I’m talking with someone, if she’s on lead, she’s perfect, sits quiet and patiently, doesn’t pull. But if she’s running around free and someone shows up, she’s very excited to see them, even if they say nothing to her, she jumps on them, I can stop her from continuing to do it, even with out a lead, but that’s not before she has dirtied and/or shocked the guest. My question I suppose is, is it, given her age and she’s certainly not an out of control pup generally and she doesn’t jump if she’s on the lead, will she just grow out of it with consistent management?
Thanks for all you do here?
I'm wanting to know this same information, too.. will they grow out of it (unleashed jumping due to young exuberance)? *If they behave when leashed...
@@jessicathompson-gautreaux5992 it’s nice to know I’m not the only one
My son has a litter mate sister to mine, lives on same property but different dwelling and is kept separate, other than when we let them run together, but she is much less obedienced trained than mine but is just a much calmer dog, doesn’t jump very much, much happier to hang with her human family, mine is super high drive, she’s with me most of the time and I put a heap of effort in to training her and she looks like she’s an outta control pup at moments when she sees people! It’s quite disheartening at times, but I do remain hopeful that she will grow out of it😬
Leaving a comment. 🙂 I live in Unadilla and have family in Albany...Seriously considering an in-person session sometime. But your videos make so much sense and are already helping. My dog is 5 months old and we both need training. I started out watching so many videos from so many different trainers, we both got confused and frustrated. I'm starting with the basics again and taking it one step at a time. Thank you.
Woo Hoo!! Tom Goose & I did it! Thanks for the feeling of accomplishment!
You're welcome!
Love this I have 2 GSD they are both bouncing off me when I go out into the yard behind me doing it if I turn my back So thank you Gonna work on this
You break things down so well.
Thanks for watching!
Hey originally from Way upstate NY now living in the Philippines. I just got my first Maligator looking forward to it and thanks for the vids good job! I always like , subscribe and share.
That is really interesting , I have always made my own leads out of very economical things , I am kinda cheap . My long leads are cheap ratchet straps with the hooks removed ,with the small loop end passed thru a medium size clip . Like 18 dollars for four of them . Also about four years ago I made my own lead with a spring loaded clip just like yours .
Didn’t realise you came to the uk! Love how you explain everything and make it super easy to understand!
We love watching your seminar videos! Such great results and clear training methods!
This is great! I have a bernedoodle puppy who's almost 10 months, but he is huge! I've been trying everything. Could you tell me where I can get the leash?
My 50 lb 7 month old pitbull bird dog mix goes absolutely nuts at play or when guests come over! Very high energy...her claws has ripped my skin open many times. No body likes her....they call her dog from hell. I love her so much though! We get down on the floor and wrestle....watch dog tv in my bed with popcorn. There is love between us and it grows every day.
Your videos help but i think nothing will settle her down. She hates the leash....puts up the biggest fuss when i come to her with it. But i manage to get it on...whew!....no fun! I am 75....she is a big challenge. Maybe your slip leash is what i need.
I have one of those, too. But he loves going for walks. My dog us big, and when he and his sister get excited, it's practically dangerous trying to get their leash on with them together.
Beautiful breakdown. I really liked what Tom said about pressure vs. pop and timing. And watching him pretend to he a dog-nut was funny!😄
Thanks for watching!
Hi, it would be amazing if you have a possibility to deliver your No Bad Dog merch to Europe with a cheaper delivery that would be amazing. Love your channel. I rescued two neglected Gordon Setters (brother and sister at the age of 1year). They were tied to a post for 3 month or so. Your videos helped me immensely. You're the best !!! Thank you sooo much
Great tips! Been working w my pup the last week consistently and she has learned so much. Having them on a leash helps tremendously.
Where do you get the spring loaded slip lead?! Fantastic idea to hold it in place! ❤️
you were in the UK???? so awesome! Hope you had a fabulous time. This video just came up on my feed at the right time. It's one of our last major challenges with my 14mnth GSP. Really helpful thank you! was feeling a bit stuck and running out of ideas.
Thank you so extremely much Tom for all of your videos!!! They've helped me and my 1 yo GSD Zelda so greatly much!!!!! I really like and enjoy your training style. I'm from Australia. 🇦🇺 Thank you so much for your explanation on how to do things and why.
Thanks for watching!
Great video - thanks to all involved! 🙂
How do you teach "Off"? - just thought you'd go there first. Thanks for sharing.
I wanted to ask if you did internships/shadowing? I live in Ohio and I am finishing up my last year of high school and I am wanting to become a dog trainer. I want to learn all I can and I love watching your videos! I have learned so much from you. let me know. thanks!
Thank you Tom! Same process for a 75 pound two year old dog?
Same process. Size of dog doesn't matter.
Is that Will Atherton behind you? Thats awesome!
Working on this with my GSD. What advice do you have when the dog is outside and is air jumping with excitement? My GSD girl can see me coming through the glass door and starts air-jumping….BEFORE I can get a collar lead combo on. I open the door and give a sit command, which she mostly will do then it is air-jumping and OTT excitement while I apply the lead. Currently using gentle leader and 6 foot lead.
Is that will atherton in the blue plaid behind you?? He is the other channel I’ve been using to help me along with binging your channel. ❤
Excellent video thanks Tom you are beyond words to describe how much you help dogs and people
I appreciate that!
can this method work with a chihuahua, and where fo u buy these leads please. thanks so useful
My new dog is a very good boy. Super friendly to both strangers and other animals, and he’s been very trainable so far with basics like sit, lay down, etc but excited jumping has been hard for him to get over. Is there a recommendation for best enforcement when he’s not on leash? He also is not a barker but I will occasionally have him with me while I’m working on something and he will cry that I’m ignoring him, but is there a way to address this crying?
Mega, Tom..thanks to share..and with Will in background🐾👍..would be cool meet you both but too far for us from 🇨🇿..
The nugget about the springloaded tab on the slip leash had me listen up, as I've been adjusting the tab on ours regularly during walks, and it probably explains why we're not quite there yet with leaving the pulling behind us for good. I checked on getting a better one, but had to find that German law is adding to the fun: as they mandate having a stopper so the slip can't close indefinitely, makers seem to pair this always with a leather tab. Is this an either-or situation, or are their makes out there that would have a spring-loaded tab whilst adhering to the German-law mandated stopper?
Love seeing the training on the rugby pitch :)
❤ sending good vibes
I wish trainers did more videos with smaller dogs. I have a Yorkie and I was told that we can't use any leashes on them because of their trachea. How in the world do we teach this to them when all I have is a harness and a leash.
Good job by all involved. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I have a one year-old almost 2-year-old Anatolian/black German shepherd mix. On the leash, he has no problem he will not jump on people. But when they come over family or friends, and he’s off leash, he will jump on them. My question is, do I have to put a leash on him when somebody knocks on my door to come to see me? How do I make him stop jumping on people without a leash in our own home or in our own backyard?
This was so informative and easy to understand. One of your best videos. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely, we need more videos like this. Thank you for this one.
Can you please post a link to the leash you used in this video.
Can you do this with little puppies? What age do you recommend starting this?
Well done, Tom. As usual.
Thanks for watching!
This a very good video. But there are dogs that like to jump and there are digs that LIKE TO JUMP!! The one year old rottweiler I'm taking care of is in the second group. Would love to see a denonstration with that tupe of dog. Do very much appreciate the video.
I'd like to see what you can do with my 19 month old Great Dane. He is so crazy! I've had 4 Danes and I've never had one like this. ADD I think.
Would you be able to share a link to the leash you use?
Would you use the same approach with dogs who are not puppies anymore and into young adulthood? For context, I've got a husky who is a rescue and he's fully grown at 2 years old and jumps up constantly.
I was in dog training training and i constantly brought up slip leads and they were not about it hahaha i was like damn, they work yo.
Thank you Mr Davis
You're welcome!

Thank you Tom. Can’t wait to meet you in Australia🙂
Yep training your dog takes vigilance and assertion. It can be positive and negative. I see it with my roomate and her dog. Her dog runs all over her and is clearly in control.
When i moved in the dog thought it was in charge of me too. It took about 6 months with some phases that now has that little dog respecting me and my space in a happy and healthy manner.
The dog is a bit aggressive with new people. Its a small dog so it was never a big problem! But the dog would circle around behind me and nip at my heels. I warned the dog multiple times with verbal ques which didnt do much. So one day it got kicked gently and began to try and dogfight my foot. Which earned me raising my voice loud enough to strike fear into the animal. He then kept his distance for a couple weeks and i made up with him with food over time. But then the dog began getting dominant again and nipping again, so it earned me going straight to kicking this time. This reduced the dogs nipping to circling behind me and giving me nose bumps over time. This lead to me stopping and turning to face him everytime he began to circle, or the occasional side "air kick" to show im watching him in my space. Emphasis on my space! The dog also has a habbit of sitting at the front door and barking at everything. One day it annoyed me enough to decide to do something. So i came out and shouted hey, while staring down the dog. Gaining its attention, letting it know im the dominant one in the house, and im the threat to its saftey, not whatever might be out there. The dog then diverted attention to the door and barked. So i moved closer to the dog in a fast manner, all while maintaining eye contact and an aggressive posture. I then told the dog to go, and pointed to the room. It did not listen and tried to get to a safe place under a table. I positioned myself to get access to the dog and chase it to the room. Proving to it that i am the dominant one, not it, and it had better listen to my commands or it wont enjoy life.
Now the dog fully respects me, we have a happly healthy relationship, he even gives me kisses when i give him his scratching routine. He doesnt bark when im the only one home, and only gives my heel a nose boop when he is really excited.
He still acts the exact same way around my roomate though. When she is home it barks at everything. She just tells him no repeatedly then gives him loving coos. Perpetuating the experience unto eternity. Leading the dog to beleive it is in charge of her. Which it technically is. Its never been put in its place by her, never had boundaries set, and it can make her tell him its okay lovingly by barking at thin air after getting into a weird grudge match the human doesnt understand...
The only time ive heard her actually try to discipline the dog was when it was knee deep in what sounded like a dog fight. At that point your dog isnt listening to you, its waging war, and trying to discipline it could wind you up being bitten.
If you dont control your dog, your dog will control you. The same goes for children.
Your videos have not only given me the proper information about tools like slip/prong collars (as I fell victim to the hate for prong collars that people perpetuated) but you gave me the confidence to use them despite the haters. My Belgian Malinois pup is walking like an absolute gentleman despite his anxiety around the outdoors (traffic/people). Having the proper tools have given *me* the confidence to take him out for walks, which means my anxiety and frustration isn't being passed onto him, and thus he is now slowly gaining more confidence going on walks.
He literally gets overexcited now when i take his prong collar off the wall because he knows he gets to go for a walk even if he's still scared.
so what if your dog only jumps when off leash?? ive got the slip leash to use and when my pup is wearing it, he acts great. it's once ive taken it off he goes ham and jumps. any advice??
I bought a slip lead and now you got me second guessing. Lol What brand is that one!?
Hi, I need some help with a Amstaff. Over reactive with other animals and goes.
Great video!
Any tips for training Appenzeller Sennehound Sheppard Mix? He's a very distracted dog and a big Jumper/Puller I try and correct him but after rewarding his correction He's back to It. He listens Inside, But outside is his domain and He's basically in control.
Amazing work Tom!
Thanks a lot!
How do you stop a dog that's off leash and jumps? I was with my sister when she got two weim puppies. They are now 7 years old and still jump all over me when I come to visit. Is it too late for them to learn not to jump?
I have 2 14 week old labs. Everything your doing is on leash, how does it transfer off leash? I need well behaved pups because my 87 year old mom lives here too.
Is there a link for the best spring loaded slip leash? I’m helping train the neighbors new rescue and he is a very moldable boy. I think this would help him immensely
Yes it’s pinned
@@tomdavisofficial I am so slow 😂 obviously not tech savvy. Thank you a million times for all your knowledge!!! You are my absolute fav trainer
Is there a link to purchase the slip that he uses? I can’t seem to find one that has the spring load.

Active viewers from

Do you have a specific leash that you can recommend for a 1.5 year old golden retriever that jumps on walks? Brand/type?
I would like an example of a good spring loaded slip lead to purchase also.
Any recommendations?
My 6 month old puppy jumps and bites! It's painful 😢 I try stepping on the leash but if he stops to jump he bites my leg instead 😢if I turn my back on him he bites my leg on the back🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I try using the leash on neck correction it works but then he's back at it I'm desperate. I also tried walking in to him claiming my space he doesn't care he keeps doing it,need this leash
How old should a dog be before you use a slip leash on them? I"ve seen a lot of mixed messages but generally I've seen at least 1 year
weird question, can anyone tell me what model of pants Tom has on? i can tell they are from Fjallraven but i dont know which exact model.
I came to the comments with the same question!
Just subscribed...you are the best! Great spirit energy👍
Thank you so much!
Why do you use a slip over a prong or a prong over a slip? I understand how they work and that they are both correction tools.
From watching a lot of this channel, the slip is used in dogs that are lower intensity and more responsive to the handler. The puppy here is responding well to the slip lead corrections. If you have a dog that doesn't react to the slip pressure, maybe they're just big and not as sensitive or maybe they're reactive and very focused on a particular distraction, then you may consider a prong. There have been some dogs that even the prong is insufficient for, or they re-direct their energy towards the handler, and that's when you'll see the e-collar with vibrate come out. It just depends on what the dog requires to get them to change their focus or acknowledge the correction.
