Yeah everyone thinks poodles and labradoodles are all friendly and family dogs but every single one I’ve encountered are super aggressive. I guess their owners don’t train them or get them because they think it’s in their breed to be naturally friendly and harmless
The little ones always start the fight and when the big guy is the one that ends the fight (99.9% of the time), he/she is the "bad" aggressive dog that has to wear a muzzle now or even worse! That sucks 😕
love love loveee seeing their behaviour progressing. It must be so calming for the dogs too knowing the owner has control and nothing dangerous is going to happen Love it
My dog has been charged by off-leash dogs since puppyhood, and it created reactivity in her when other dogs got too close during walks. I started following this video when it was first released and within days we went from worried focus on other dogs to loose leash walking on a FLAT near other dogs. It’s awesome. Always have her prong on just in case, but just hearing you talking about how to approach the problem, creating the sense of confidence in handler and dog to alleviate any burden on the dog, and making that training picture black and white has been so helpful. She loves walks with me and her reactivity and trust in me has improved tenfold because of the clarity we now have... and it was such a simple change! Thank you for being awesome and for being so willing to share what you know!
When you explain how the dogs think in terms we understand "it was basically walking downtown Manhattan, screw you buddy!" Light bulb goes off and really helps the interaction and understanding between my shepherd and I. He's so big, and confidence is much better than when I got him he doesn't take crap anymore. His intentions aren't aggressive at all, but he's not going to let another dog "give us the bird" without saying something. I wouldn't have learned that without how you translate for us. Thank you!
What amazes me, which is the most important thing in your training, is how you notice the minutest signs from the dogs! Thank you for this serial type of videos.
The young girl needs to put the Cane Corso on her left so the dogs aren't side by side. There is a lack of praise from both women. Thank goodness you are giving the much needed vocal praise. Thanks Tom : ) Great job. The Rotti knows she is safe with you . Our dogs need to know we'll protect them.
I totally agree Laura, praise leads to confidence. I actually learned left heel watching Tom and agree, I also taught my dog center heel she'll go between my legs and sit. Although being only 5 ft tall I couldn't do it with a rottie :) ha ha
I do not know anything about the women owning these dogs but it seems like they are not planning on any dog hobbies? So why buy that kind of dog if not planning to use them for anything? Some dog issues comes from a lack of mental/physical exercise. My girl change behaviour if not worked out for some days- she becomes more activated outdoors.
with the praise, you have to be quick right after the action you want to reward. one of the hardest parts of dog training for me was to make the correct decision lightning fast, since the dogs are lightning fast. As a human, I'm focusing on the dog and I have a million other things about handling the dogs I'm thinking about at the same time as well as the distractions from being aware of my surroundings consciously or not. I don't see here that the women didn't want to praise. The older lady tried a few times but didn't have the energy behind it that the trainer had. I just think they need practice to be quick about it and know when it is needed. Also, when I'm being taught by my behaviourist, I'm super-nervous and lack a lot of confidence that I have when I'm alone. I'll second guess around the professional because I don't want to embarrass myself and do the wrong thing in front of the trainer. I know that's not the way to think about it, but the nerves get the better of me. I'm sure a lot of people are like that when they are around someone that they respect.
@@patti6178 Don't worry ,just do your best. I have trained dogs for 47 years and can still get timing wrong. All trainers can. It is important to be fun to the dog else they'll go find it else where. Good luck in your journey : )
BEAUTIFUL!!! So obvious how much Happier the Rottie is.. they absolutely want to please..they just need a little guidance. Awesome job! Your tools for training are great Tom! Much love from NJ 💕🐶💕
Cutting her tail to the point where she doesn't even have a stump probably doesn't help with dog to dog interaction I bet. She seems much calmer now than she did at first.
@@tomdavisofficial it's strange to see a more laid back approach to other dog channels but yet you have so much understanding and control over dogs that aren't yours. Boggled my mind. This would be an amazing dream jobs. Do the good outweigh all the scary times with aggressive dogs?
Dude. You’re a beast. Love your videos. We have a 5 month lab and it’s nice looking forward to your videos so we can learn. Best dog training content on UA-cam in my opinion. Thanks.
Good video Tom. The tips on diverting attention while out walking with other dogs were helpful. When you demonstrate on video it's helpful for us to get the technique and makes your explanation more understandable. Once again, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into filming and editing these videos.
That rottie is just worried and protective of its owner. She knows who her owner is so is just making sure she’s alright every time a dog pass by. And the rottie didn’t growl first the doodle did.
Thanks for another great video tom! I would love to see a video talking more about what you said about rotties "not taking crap" and just explaining how these powerful breeds react differently to these types of behaviours/situations. Thanks again for all your awesome videos and information! You have helped me a ton with my rottie shepherd cross!
I’m glad I found your videos . I have a half German shepherd and half Rottweiler. He’s been showing Aggression issues ever sense I was in the hospital for over a month and later on I found out someone in my family that was living with me at the moment was hitting my dog .. he was not aggressive he was training with me and a trainer but ever since then he’s been showing several aggression. I been trying to fine someone to give me some Advice on how to handle the Situation or where I could look for the right dog trainer on aggression
That's what i've taught my dog. she's learned to heel , stop and ignore. I don't know how the dog coming toward my dog is trained or NOT trained so I only trust her own pack, which is our other family dogs. My dog is friendly but has been lunged at one too many times. I usually will shout from a distance dog in training we are doing ignore. and smile :)
I train my dog too and realise it's a process, it won't be perfect from the start and there might be setbacks. People are usually understanding when they see you actually attempt to train a dog, even an aggressive one. If the issues are ignored and the owner does nothing, that's a different story.
@@Grawuar i just wanted to say i am proud and greatful for you for doing your best to reach better quality of life for both of you. setbacks are completely normal okay and you are amazing and it is okay to feel beat down sometimes
Thank you for explaining that encounter at 9:56! When you have a dog that reacts to other dogs it's hard not to get in that defensive preventive mode. I love seeing the rottie's personality coming through as we progress in the series of videos while she's with you because you know what you are doing and is able to let her personality come through. Sadly, I probably would have corrected her for just saying 'screw you' back!
Awesome video...learned more..I walk every day, four dogs. It's the people who don't control their dogs that cause two of mine to react. They all know heal, settle, and leave it, so now I'll enforce it before we approach other dogs. That's where I've been doing things wrong. Peace and thanks.
that furry dog launched first, every dogs like that I come across with my boxer are super agressive... And it's pitbulls and rotties that get the bad rep...
I totally get what you're saying. I have a rott and German sheppard as well as in the past a pit who i lost to cancer a few years ago. Anyway, they were all well tempered and it was usually other dogs who were the aggressors/agitators and it makes me feel bad sometimes hearing others make the claims they do against these breeds. However. I do understand now tho that they have a bad rep for a reason, as they are the majority of cases of attacks and aggressive dogs. But in reality, it really started with the people who bred them and raised them as they bred them for aggression and a lot of people dont raise them correctly which makes it even worse where they end up attacking and having to be put down. Its in their genetics to be aggressive, but with the right owner, training, and love they can definitely be the most loyal, loving, and trustworthy companions. And more and more are breeding calmer and calmer dogs and will eventually breed out that aggression to an extend and hopefully they can lose that stigma. Of course it will still always depend on the training and owners as all dogs are capable and prone to aggressive behavior without proper structure etc. But for now, i know my rott and German sheppard are great loving dogs and i can trust them with my children etc. And thats all i can expect and should remain keeping up on their training to do my part in bringing well manored dogs into society and just bring awareness to those who ask how i get my dogs to be so calm and nonaggressive. Since i still get those looks, and sceptical questions all the time. Im just more understanding now and not easily offended when people judge or assume my dogs are aggressive etc.
I agree. My German Shepherd is very kind to other dogs, and this small dog started attacking him for no reason. He barked back and everyone was afraid of him, even though I know for a fact he would not have bit the other dog. It’s like people expect a dog to just let another dog attack them.
@@loki_cane_corso_italiano7825 Funnily enough that's how it goes. I will be walking on the opposite side of the street with my pitty and I can see the uneasy body language of the other dog catch my pitties attention before the little thing starts yapping.
You have a great inspiration channel Tom. Really appreciate everything you do. However, please work on your camera op a bit. Rather seeing closeups on you I believe we all like to see a wider shot with the dog included in the frame. Keep it up!
Dang, exploring this channel just keep getting better and better. I’ve learned a lot from this series following these two dogs. I am such a fan of yours - my husband might be getting jealous. Lolz jk jk
bro if you see this. or someone that can help.. i love this training and i wanna apply it to my 4 month pup. would it still be an effective training for him even tho he is still a young pup? every time i put him on a leash he pulls a lot and doesn’t listen and when i try pulling the leash (a pop) he feels it and kinda stops but starts jumping a lot so i stop him so he doesn’t hurt himself since the leash is kinda tight. I have hope for sure!! he’s very young and will practice this with him. i just wanna know if there’s something different i don’t know about that you would recommend since he’s a pup
David Espinosa I’m not a dog trainer but I had the same problem with my dog when he was young. In my personal experience just working daily and using the same commands every single time should work. Obviously it takes time and patience though. Don’t get mad when he makes mistakes just correct him and keep working with him.
Yeah, I noticed many dog owners don't correct their little dogs, even when they are the instigating ones. Oh well, I treat these situations like a training opportunity for my 40 kilos dog.
I have a husky and my roommate has a german Shepard. They keep having aggressive moments, they haven’t been as bad as the initial fight but it happens every now and then, any tips or is this just a natural thing I have to let play out so they can establish pecking order?
Do you do dog behavioral training in other states? I’m in Nashville TN I need help break a confident issues slightly with my 3 year Shepard. He has seizures on and off when he over stimulates in situation. So I’ve had to slowly cut down on being in public. So when we go out he’s barks when people go past and dogs. It’s more of hey I’m here do you know type of bark because he’s not use to being in public.
Whew again amazed that you were training in such a busy area with tourists, dogs and the train. Could you spend more time on getting the owners to reward verbally and petting. It took me awhile to be comfortable 'talking' to a dog out in public without being self conscious.
First time seeing your videos. Very good vids and excellent training and training tips. I've had 4 Rotties ( I now have a soon to be 14 year old Rottie now. Trained him myself too. I've been walking him without a leash for several years now and have never had any incidents except once at our dog park, Barkley Square, a no leash park. Another dog attacked my Rottie, Ted and Ted defended himself. Ted was unharmed... Leave it at that... He didn't keep attacking the other dog, German Shepherd, He just... grabbed if you will, the Shepherd and "held" him by the throat until I said the command, "out". He immediately released the shepherd and peed on him of all things! Why did he pee on the other dog? A dominance thing? Just curious... Thx! Great videos!
I teach my pup by making a sound to let him know he has hurt me. He retreats when I do this and plays a bit more gentle. Start by doing it when his level of playing is low. Maybe this will help you.
My lab was the same and when they are puppies their teeth are soooooo sharp and i had scratches on my arms but we learned to give him a toy when we gets too excited and he would play but have the toy in this mouth so chews on that instead of your arm. In case you don’t have a toy and he nips I stop play tell him no and ignore him so he knows it’s not ok to nip and give it a few minutes then play again and once he plays and doesn’t nip give him lots of praise.
Great to see that they are doing something about their dogs instead of just ignoring the problem or hiding their dogs away. Any chance you might restock the hoodies?
I feel like a lot of people confuse aggression with corrections. If there is an outta hand dog and my rott corrects the dog my rott is “dangerous” but my collie mix does the exact same correction no one cares. People see certain dogs and instantly get nervous.
When I gave this little pull with the leash in this moment my dog sees the other and want to walk in front of me, he gets even more aggressive so like the pull with the leash is the start button to explode.
I never agreed with these collars but now I believe certain dogs need them. I live in UK I don’t think you can buy them here. Although my dog is quite social sometimes he will go to jump up at people when we are walking in the street he’s quite big and it frightens people I’ve no idea why he does this. I’m sure this collar would have stopped him but he is 5 now and probably won’t ever stop doing that.
Try the collar. I tried it with my 3 year old rottie shepherd cross who did the same thing, after watching many of Tom's videos about how to use it properly. My dogs behaviour has completley turned around. She no longer does this even if I dont have the prong on. I also worked on positive associations with people because she was really just scared of people and did not know what she should be doing. The prong allowed me to better communicate what she needed to be doing when we walked by people. Even of your dog is 5 you can teach him not to do that anymore :)
You don't need that harmful collar, positive reinforcement will prevent this behaviour. Check out Victoria Stillwell Academy for a positive trainer. All of the methods are scientifically backed. I'm so glad we don't have those disgraceful collars in the UK.
@@ScentsationalDogs positive only is actually not backed up by science at all nor is it a scientific term. I have a degree in psychology so I would know but Victoria stillwell herself can tell you on her webpage... positively.com/dog-training/positive-training/what-is-positive-training/
If you have any good trainer in the area-go to him. Akitas are not that easy to handle so getting on a right track from begining is definitely worth it.
@@blond_albatraoz_9888 Agree with you, I had a trainer similar to Thomas who trained me 1st then assisted my training my Akita. The Akita was socialized with my then toddler and friends, other dogs. But my 2 cats convinced her she was their kitten and slept together. Animals....
I have a question. I was pretty much taught to do things exactly the same as you are showing, but at 10:47 you are stroking the Rottie which I was always told was a no no as you are ''rewarding the bad behaviour''. Is this right?
I think It's not so black and white. He mention the body language. What he seems to be doing here, is feeling out the dog and react quickly to the body language since he isnt a very verbal dog. You can see he slightly corrects him as the dog wants to go. If the Rotti had tensed up more, a stronger correction would have been in order. The constant padding is probably an effort to immediately reward good behavior. Timing is so critical, especially in the learning phase
I just hope that older lady learns to not hold the leash so tight on that Rottie. No room for a quick POP!! :( She needs to gain more confidence in herself. I am sure she will in time.....
Are the women not too fidgety with the leads? Also the young women pop her dog without a command first, then continue fidgeting with the dog/lead. One of the things I was recommended as a very hyperactive personality was to calm my hands when sitting with my dog due to the stress I caused when fidgeting with the lead.
If you use aversive tools like prong collars on dogs you're damaging the human-animal bond leading to distrusting the owner and fearing them. And they do cause pain and harm to their necks - educate yourself on the 8 rules of punishment. How about you wear one on you're neck and see how it feels when I "pop" it.
I think this is a crap video of working with Rottie's. This Rottie is stable and stable with people. It only appears to have a tiny problem with getting distracted with dogs. Now if the Rottie was massive like a semi-adult male lion and extremely dominant then you'd see proper skill training. My sister's dog is like this, only one year's old and as big as any large Rottie size, very intimidating to lay eyes on. It will walk past you, come up to you, lick you, you can feed it but it must always be on its terms. Today I thought it was letting me in as my sister would say but as I was leaving, I started stroking it and its ears were still pinned back then bam - a full on attack. I moved my arm out the way very quickly and ran up the stairs. Luckily my sister put her body in the way of her Rottie even though the dog still was trying to follow threw with the attack. So this is the type of dog that we want to see trainers training not a very stable dog that anyone with some animal common sense can train by just following video training advice!! So this video is easy peasy
I swear it's always the freaking doodles that try and pick fights!!!
Yeah everyone thinks poodles and labradoodles are all friendly and family dogs but every single one I’ve encountered are super aggressive. I guess their owners don’t train them or get them because they think it’s in their breed to be naturally friendly and harmless

Do you do dog behavioral training in other states? I’m in Nashville TN I need help break a confident issues slightly with my 3 year Shepard. He has seizures on and off when he over stimulates in situation. So I’ve had to slowly cut down on being in public. So when we go out he’s barks when people go past and dogs. It’s more of hey I’m here do you know type of bark because he’s not use to being in public.
Whew again amazed that you were training in such a busy area with tourists, dogs and the train. Could you spend more time on getting the owners to reward verbally and petting. It took me awhile to be comfortable 'talking' to a dog out in public without being self conscious.
Do you think even if you train them good,would you still put a muzzel on the dogs?
First time seeing your videos. Very good vids and excellent training and training tips. I've had 4 Rotties ( I now have a soon to be 14 year old Rottie now. Trained him myself too. I've been walking him without a leash for several years now and have never had any incidents except once at our dog park, Barkley Square, a no leash park. Another dog attacked my Rottie, Ted and Ted defended himself. Ted was unharmed...
Leave it at that...
He didn't keep attacking the other dog, German Shepherd, He just... grabbed if you will, the Shepherd and "held" him by the throat until I said the command, "out". He immediately released the shepherd and peed on him of all things! Why did he pee on the other dog? A dominance thing?
Just curious...
Thx!
Great videos!
Rotts are the best dogs. Love them so much.
botchgoddess yes, so swet
i have a rottie German shepherd puppy and i can get his attion no problem its just he plays to rough and will nip me ,do you have any suggestions
I teach my pup by making a sound to let him know he has hurt me. He retreats when I do this and plays a bit more gentle. Start by doing it when his level of playing is low. Maybe this will help you.
My lab was the same and when they are puppies their teeth are soooooo sharp and i had scratches on my arms but we learned to give him a toy when we gets too excited and he would play but have the toy in this mouth so chews on that instead of your arm. In case you don’t have a toy and he nips I stop play tell him no and ignore him so he knows it’s not ok to nip and give it a few minutes then play again and once he plays and doesn’t nip give him lots of praise.
"I gave her a pop!" 😂
Love it. Thank you, T.
Awe man! I didn't know you were down here in SD I have 2 GSD's that are in need of your expertise! Lol
AW! SORRY!
Lol I was about to say ME TOO. lol. Just curious was this in La Jolla?
Nah Del mar
Good information nice method. Impressed a lot.
Thank you, I am grateful for you
How much do you charge for out of state training?
sarah fox you can email my manger for training info! www.americascanineeducator.com
YOOO that’s my area you gonna be there next few days?
Stefano Zagara this was 3 weeks ago!
it was interesting it was as stated a reaction to a reaction not started herself
I don't see the elderly woman getting the leash technique at all. Constant correction with continuous pressure on the collar.
Poland like it a lot !
Thank you!
Hey can you come to Puerto Rico one day??
I second thiiiis. Maybe train dogs in Old San Juan. Lots of distractions there.
Great to see that they are doing something about their dogs instead of just ignoring the problem or hiding their dogs away. Any chance you might restock the hoodies?
Thanks Niki, they are restocked now!
Timing is important
NO BAD SOCKS!
Tommy Abait hahaha yesss
Come to Orlando and work with my 2yrl
German Shepard who act crazy all the time.
haha
I feel like a lot of people confuse aggression with corrections. If there is an outta hand dog and my rott corrects the dog my rott is “dangerous” but my collie mix does the exact same correction no one cares. People see certain dogs and instantly get nervous.
When I gave this little pull with the leash in this moment my dog sees the other and want to walk in front of me, he gets even more aggressive so like the pull with the leash is the start button to explode.
MrsEvijustme yes this can happen with some dogs under certain scenarios for sure.
I never agreed with these collars but now I believe certain dogs need them. I live in UK I don’t think you can buy them here. Although my dog is quite social sometimes he will go to jump up at people when we are walking in the street he’s quite big and it frightens people I’ve no idea why he does this. I’m sure this collar would have stopped him but he is 5 now and probably won’t ever stop doing that.
Try the collar. I tried it with my 3 year old rottie shepherd cross who did the same thing, after watching many of Tom's videos about how to use it properly. My dogs behaviour has completley turned around. She no longer does this even if I dont have the prong on. I also worked on positive associations with people because she was really just scared of people and did not know what she should be doing. The prong allowed me to better communicate what she needed to be doing when we walked by people. Even of your dog is 5 you can teach him not to do that anymore :)
Thanks for watching, best of luck!
You don't need that harmful collar, positive reinforcement will prevent this behaviour. Check out Victoria Stillwell Academy for a positive trainer. All of the methods are scientifically backed. I'm so glad we don't have those disgraceful collars in the UK.
@@ScentsationalDogs positive only is actually not backed up by science at all nor is it a scientific term. I have a degree in psychology so I would know but Victoria stillwell herself can tell you on her webpage... positively.com/dog-training/positive-training/what-is-positive-training/
My 6 month old Akita bounces when he sees other dog would you just tell him him to leave it or?
aggressive or wants to play with it?
or just start becomeing aroused ?
If you have any good trainer in the area-go to him. Akitas are not that easy to handle so getting on a right track from begining is definitely worth it.
@@blond_albatraoz_9888 Agree with you, I had a trainer similar to Thomas who trained me 1st then assisted my training my Akita. The Akita was socialized with my then toddler and friends, other dogs. But my 2 cats convinced her she was their kitten and slept together. Animals....
If I was at his facility it would get ugly quick.
And now again but with a dog aggressive wolfdog breed made for pulling and sports.
Hi
Drake Hicks hi
I have a question. I was pretty much taught to do things exactly the same as you are showing, but at 10:47 you are stroking the Rottie which I was always told was a no no as you are ''rewarding the bad behaviour''. Is this right?
I think It's not so black and white. He mention the body language. What he seems to be doing here, is feeling out the dog and react quickly to the body language since he isnt a very verbal dog. You can see he slightly corrects him as the dog wants to go. If the Rotti had tensed up more, a stronger correction would have been in order. The constant padding is probably an effort to immediately reward good behavior. Timing is so critical, especially in the learning phase
Dylan, at moment, nothing negative was happening at all, i rewarded the crap out that.
@@tomdavisofficial Thanks for replying.
I just hope that older lady learns to not hold the leash so tight on that Rottie. No room for a quick POP!! :( She needs to gain more confidence in herself. I am sure she will in time.....
Bump
Are the women not too fidgety with the leads? Also the young women pop her dog without a command first, then continue fidgeting with the dog/lead. One of the things I was recommended as a very hyperactive personality was to calm my hands when sitting with my dog due to the stress I caused when fidgeting with the lead.
yes but she is learning
Why do these women want these kind of dogs? Its a mismatch, pure and simple. No harm, no fowl.
I know big dogs. This guy does not.
Dog is asgood ad owner iv had alsorts of dog in my life to blame any dog is shit same on their owner
If you use aversive tools like prong collars on dogs you're damaging the human-animal bond leading to distrusting the owner and fearing them. And they do cause pain and harm to their necks - educate yourself on the 8 rules of punishment. How about you wear one on you're neck and see how it feels when I "pop" it.
I think this is a crap video of working with Rottie's. This Rottie is stable and stable with people. It only appears to have a tiny problem with getting distracted with dogs. Now if the Rottie was massive like a semi-adult male lion and extremely dominant then you'd see proper skill training. My sister's dog is like this, only one year's old and as big as any large Rottie size, very intimidating to lay eyes on. It will walk past you, come up to you, lick you, you can feed it but it must always be on its terms. Today I thought it was letting me in as my sister would say but as I was leaving, I started stroking it and its ears were still pinned back then bam - a full on attack. I moved my arm out the way very quickly and ran up the stairs. Luckily my sister put her body in the way of her Rottie even though the dog still was trying to follow threw with the attack. So this is the type of dog that we want to see trainers training not a very stable dog that anyone with some animal common sense can train by just following video training advice!! So this video is easy peasy
Talks too much.
Quality of training isn't related to the number of words spoken per unit of time.
