Love the videos from australia. CoCo is my ddr shepherd who love blackhawk beed jerky. Very dry and snaps. Coco is a european working line breed working line who is my constant companion. Sbe needs my time to engage her mind more than anything. She is happy to chiĺl with me but has a lovely drive to run and chase toys outside with training each day. Also a quiet walk with traing daily. A great lover of people and scent work. Downside bitten by a dog as a pup...made her dog aggresive she is gradually overcoming with Toms tips...i mostly use tug and food rewards in combination with praise. Food for a new command for a short time as a lure with voice reward...to transition to voice reward.only. tug and chase used to build relationship while reinforcing and building holding wait , release and recall. We are building her persistance in holding her wait while controlling her prey drive. I want to have a session with Tòm to help us overcome the leash agressiòn with other dogs due to being bitten as a puppy.
It was a little chaotic at first, but Tom got the conversation structured and informative. I really liked it.
I enjoyed this style of podcast. Great job!
Dogs are driven by food or toys, me on the other hand am driven by all your content! Thanks for all you and your team do!!! You guys are greatly appreciated by my sister and I!!
Tom has given me some hope and hope is good! ❤️🇧🇻
I loved this! So much was covered! I adopted a pit mix and I had a DNA test done. Results showed pit, staffy, boxer, lab. That explains the crazy energy! Tom, you have helped me so much! I love training and because of you, I got a local trainer to help me e-collar training. I am in my 70’s and I couldn’t have kept her without training. She has turned into a great dog-not perfect, but a great dog. ❤️
Had to laugh when Kyle said, "take it with a grain of salt," when the shelter guesses at the dog's breed/s. My friend runs a shelter and over the years has given me three unadoptables. The "Aussie Shepherd mix" turned out to be a Chow mix. The "Border Collie mix" turned out to be a Husky mix and the "Corgi/Lab" turned out to be an American Dingo. I don't think it's a coincidence that all three problem dogs turned out to be North Asian breeds.
Take it with a bucket of salt.
haha yesss
YES! The hardest breed group is the hounds…absolutely, positively! When I was grieving the loss of my heart dog, a Rough Collie, a few months later I asked the employees at the Humane Society to pick a female dog that needed a home for me and I got a hard luck hound who knew nothing, not even housebroken. Omg..as an amateur handler I was questioning my sanity and had great empathy for the first time dog owner who had adopted then returned her. After watching so many Tom videos, I got a HS prong..and voila! Within minutes I had a dog who FINALLY responded to walking on a leash, it took a couple months before she would sit on command (she would rather have died..lol) Now we are delighted with her as a pet and each months she gets better and better and has become very loving. We are SO glad we are the home she landed in. That said I was missing having a heart dog I could train with and after months of figuring out what the TOP THREE CHARACTERISTICS were that I wanted, high intelligence, high drive to play and would get along with our dogs at home, I found my girl, an 18mo that old German Shepherd who knew nothing and also not housebroken but two months later knows all basic commands in French and English..we are still working on consistency and socialization. I am retired and her 4th owner….I totally adore her, she was meant for me ❤️
I used to run dogs at the shelter over 14 years ago. Many were "terriers" aka pit and pit mixes. Literally RUN with the dogs! It was a dead end street with three things: an Animal Control on one side, the shelter directly across, and a police gun range in the middle! Down the street was a domestic vehicle repo lot. This was in a rough area. One dog, Hector, my favorite brindle Pit boy that I loved to run with... well, many days.. I would be running down the road with him (so athletic he was!) and the men that worked the repo yard.. big gold chains and "boom boom" sounds from the cars always asking about the dog. One time a couple came down.. the guy with his girl and a kid. The guy was all "boss". Took Hector out to the outdoor "meeting" run (very spacious). The woman and kid quickly exited. The kid ran up and down the run. Hector chased him. The woman stood there. The man stayed in the run. I told him "I don't think this is going to work out". He crossed his arms and with puffing out his chest and putting his chin up he said "but I want him" in a VERY arrogant way. I said "nope". Hector was with us for a number of years since a puppy. The right guy did come along.
This man is a national treasure! I love his non-biased/balanced training approach understanding that each situation is different and does whatever’s best for the dog. I’m currently enrolled in ABC to become a Dog Trainer and you’re a huge inspiration for me and my journey. Keep doing your thing bro! Much love from Seattle
I found your discussion about litermate syndrome interesting. My breeder would not let me get two dogs from the same litter. She said they would bond with each other and not with me.
I had two girls from the same litter. I just made sure I spent 1 on 1 time with them. They both loved each other but were ok being separate. One dog really bonded with my husband and one really bonded with me.
@@melb5467 agreed. I have litter mates. They are joined at the hip. They will compete with each other in training, but mostly they will ignore me unless I am using high value treats. Or unless they are walked separately and trained separately.
@@siempreseagull2 oh see I never had a problem with them listening to me, but I started training sessions with them solo when I got them home at 12weeks.
I think that’s really the best way to do it. They grew into two completely different dog’s personality wise too.
They still loved each other and had a very close bond.
I bought littermates, a bit and a girl, at 8 weeks. They did play a lot and weren't focused on me and my house mate until I went to puppy school with them. The time spent with each on its own made the difference. They are both fully bonded with me.
Personally, I can tend to forget to praise because I'm like, "My dog has got the concept, I don't need to encourage anymore." I'm aware, so I'm working on it, but we can get complacent. Thus the need for constant coaching from great trainers like you guys. Thanks
I notice nobody answers comments here...i have a ddr shepherd. I praise her for every command i ask for...with yes.... I say good if i want her to remain longer but not break...but the instant she sits or drops or stays i say yes. Her release is ok!
I am loving these podcasts! The only things i notice are that numerous inside jokes/references make me disengage from the conversation because I don't know what's being referred to. Also, it would be nice with some more structure, maybe even marked in the podcast so you can know which parts really interest you. Either way I'm still enjoying these podcasts, it's an awesome way to get in your guys' headspace!
Thanks, I can't keep up with them either no matter what we talk about lol. We plan on putting chapters in for the future!
@@tomdavisofficial lol yes i can tell you try to wrangle them in but they all think so differently 😂 looking forward to more!
So true. You have to know something about their personality. Like people want a rescued sheltie. They are not always great with kids if they didn't grow up with kids. If they did they handle it well. But if they haven't they can be snappy with kids out of fear.
Love it! As a trainer... super fun to see you guys discussing the same issues with clients that we go through every day with ours as well. Trying to figure out the best way to communicate something so that it specifically resonates with each person is always the hardest part of my job.
I’ve found your training on the internet and now I’m working some of that on my Staffy and it’s going good thank you
looove this podcast!
I think too, often times with a rescue sometimes the shelter will tend to underplay traits or how the dog is, just to see it getting adopted. Where a dog maybe a much higher energy dog breed, that is acting less energetic due to being in a shelter and they downplay how energetic it may be after once it settles into a household for a few months. Often times I feel like it takes a bit for a dog to feel comfortable and you to actually see its personality after you get it home.
I think when looking for dog you have to be honest with yourself about what you're equipped to handle.
Ive never really searched for a dog either my parents brought recuses home or we would save strays.
I feel so lucky with the dog I've been blessed with I got him from an abusive neighbor who was dog fighting and breeding dogs in a harmful way and he came to me malnourished and sick and has turned around completely to be one if the best pets I've ever owned, he looks to be an AmStaff and I've always had a soft spot for pitties so far that's the breed of dog that I've meshed with the best from a young age personality wise. I've had him for 3 years he has a very low drive which was frustrating when I first got him but I've come to accept not all dogs want to be at a constant go and being someone with a physical disability that's very unstable and can get injured easily it's for the best, he's mostly low energy but can still trek a hike and play a bit of tug but if something is a bit too difficult like a Kong he'll opt for a nap instead. He's quiet, he's nit a licker, and can go on adventures but is okay staying home.
On the other hand another dog that I believe came from the same neighbors how was definitely younger than my dog but far bigger looked to be an American Bull dog mix near 100 pounds or so came to me was the sweetest thing but had a lot of separation anxiety and could be very destructive If left alone, very powerful and strong and an escape artist similar to my dog. He was not a bad dog I did what I could to care for him but ultimately he was triggering a side of my dog I had never yet seen before and that wouldn't have been fair for my dog especially nit knowing if they might've fought each other in the past but the neighbors were definitely feeding this one yet neglecting his overall health and I knew with how destructive and anxious this dog was that I was not equipped to handle this one and commit to him long term.
My pittie before current one looked to be an American bull dog as well but she was a shelter dog so there's no telling but again she just learned super quick would crawl in your lap as if she wasn't 80 pounds she had a bit more drive than my current dog and liked to be worked and would stand guard in front of you when stray dogs would run up to us never chasing after them or fighting but she was protective and listened to command even in a stressful situation of a dog attack from neighborhood dogs that handlers did not have control over.
All of them were so different in personalities though. Observing your lifestyle, personality, and abilities or disabilities I think is really one of the most important things when choosing a dog or deciding to be a long term home for that dog because it Is a large commitment.
It's so very hard to get housing because of the breed that i have but he chose me so I will fight tooth and nail for him but that's another thing, it's not just pitbull that are not allowed in many rentals and apartments, there are so many and that can potentially harm your ability to provide for yourself and your family.
Breeds I know I'm probably not going to be compatible with are boxers
I know from the few boxers we've fostered in the past that that I not a breed of dog I would want to have because I cannot handle the energy of a boxer, they were great dogs ours were very protective but not aggressive but man did he stand like a statue infront of me when he thought I was endangered but we couldn't meet he needs we were not equipped to be his forever home and that's okay!
Also English bull dogs so much slobber and health issues I can't risk
Small dogs the are very loud
Large dogs that are very loud I'm looking at you huskies 😂
All breeds are great breeds, all dogs are great dogs but some may not be great for and we need to really be honest with ourselves.
When we got our first dog I wanted a dog for security and wanted a GSD. My husband is allergic to dogs so we needed something different. He searched family, small, hypoallergenic, easy to train, gets along with other dogs and kids. The search brought us to the Havanese breed and we have had two now. Talk about a different outcome. They are the perfect fit for our lifestyle and in hindsight I’m glad we didn’t get a GSD. They are badass and great security partners when well trained but wouldn’t have been a good fit for our young, busy and now traveling family. All dogs have traits to work through and all need training- we had to be diligent with potty training and they can be bossy if no boundaries but they’re so funny and great pets. Great conversation, I like the new format. What a strong team of trainers you have!
I wanna tune in to the next live podcast how often will these take place The DOG COMMUNITY NEEDS THIS SO MUCH
I learned so much from this podcast, thank you all so much!
Loving the podcast episodes 👌
Thanks so much, Becky!
Great video. So many misconceptions about prong colar. I am in remission from stage 4 cancer and have a lot of permanent nerve damage in my core. I have a 7 year old great dane and the prong collar allows me to comfortably and safely walk my dog
These podcasts are gold. Love all the shares of personal experiences by the trainers and their own dogs. Unfortunately cannot hop over and rate it, but I would give it 10 of 5 stars. Thank you for creating this format. Have you thought of shorts with your trainers in action, too? Emphasis of certain points or subjects interspersed with your podcast?
By the way, I love this podcast format with the team. This is great!
Love these!!! I listen when I drive long distances. Nice trainers. Nice opinions. And you guys are fun too!!!!
i just discovered this podcast and will stick to it for sure! its really good, thanks for your work
This is like listening to my siblings chat. Lol
Love love love these. So glad you’re doing them! I have learned so much already.
Loved it! Thanks for all the nuggets of wisdom!
I adopted a "pit mix" where the parents were unknown. Turns out he has a lot of schnauzer, pit, blue healer, and german shepherd. He has a very strong schnauzer disposition and is very energetic and independent/willful. He's very sweet and gentle, but he can be challenging too.
The podcast episodes are awesome 👏 I personally love the more casual element too 😊
Love listening to the podcast while driving. It is nice putting a face to the voice watching the UA-cam version. I have enjoyed getting to know the staff opinions and a different point of view.
Loving these group sessions!! The discussion about fulfillment was very helpful information. My boyfriend and I adopted/rescued a Malinois from a local shelter. We live in an apartment and certain breeds are not allowed. Many of the dogs in the shelter were restricted breeds, but Belgian Malinois was one that was permitted. Fast forward 6 months later and our girl Luna is an amazing fit for us! She adapted so quickly and we’re so thankful that she fits in with our lifestyle, but I’m always looking for ways to make sure she’s fulfilled. Great suggestions!
Love you brought up Hounds! I have a 1 year old Redbone Coonhound and he's a great dog but his nose never stops going it's so crazy. I love him so much and have learned that I can tire him out more making him work with his nose then just taking him out on walks or runs. He loves to work with his nose.
Love hounds!
We had a beagle and her nose was always to the ground. If she got a scent she was gone. I wish I knew then what I know now. She was a wonderful girl but SHE was definitely in charge for the 12yrs we had her. Lol
I never known about crate and rotate. Ty for talking about that.
Love this format!! Please do more of you all discussing different topics! ❤
Very enjoyable and informative. Thanks for putting this content out brother!
Loved this format and some great talking points covered. The conversation did get a little off track a few times but it is great to see your team and I feel like it lets us get to know them and their personalities. I loved the tip to foster first. I find you often need a few weeks minimum to really get to know a dog's true personality. Also the mental sometimes trumping physical. I always try to get dome good physical work in than do lots of mental. People always act like I'm crazy whe I say 30min of heeling will tire your dog out better than 2 hours hanging out in the yard. I work with a lot of huskies lol so they can do hours without being the least bit tired. You have to work the mental!
I had white GSD before and then I bought a black and tan and the energy drive was so much more than I was used. We have are working things out.
Happy for you!!
So glad you did it! 🤍
This is the first podcast I've watched from you guys. It doesn't seem to get as much engagement as your "reactive/aggressive dog to neutral dog in 3 days" videos but all of you have really valuable information to add and I really appreciate you putting it out there.
Litter mate syndrome is also not isolated to just siblings, but any dogs within about 18 months of each other in age. I had a client that rescued a dog when her dog was 11 months. New dog was about 20 months. They bonded so well with each other, and ultimately her first dog began to hold her to a lower value than its new buddy. I met her nearly two years later, when all of a sudden the dogs then got in a scuffle over her attention. It then escalated to toys and food and ultimately separated inside the house. But she went nearly 2 years with no issues. It can manifest super early, it can be super minor, it can also surface 3 to 5 years later as well. Also common when one is tolerant of the other when it is young and doesn't know any better, and if not controlled the older one may feel the need to step in and control the energy, when the puppy matures it may eventually stand up for itself. Super important to almost treat them like two separate dogs. Giving separate training, attention and holding both dogs accountable so they know they have a confident leader and clear criteria. I've seen families have fantastic success, though it was a lot of work lol
Yup! I found that out - even with two separate people owning two separate dogs! My dog and my mother's dog are about 2 months apart from each other. My mum got hers from a breeder, then later I adopted a 4 month old puppy. You can really see how /skill/ in training is a huge part of it. While my dog matured and can live without the other dog, the other dog has SUCH a hard time - won't leave my dog alone, always biting onto her, always fighting for attention and getting WAY overstimulated.2 yrs later, she ended up with a really needy, non-confident dog with (unfortunately...) a bite history off the record, while the other is on the road of being a service dog in training.
Love the format and information!
Awesome, thank you!
I totally agree fostering is a great idea.
Love your channels! Great team
Thank you, Maria!
Love this new format!
Thank you!
Loving the podcast videos🔥
Thank you!
The 1:26:51 point about instant gratification VS hard work needed to get there, is the most dangerous thing when it come with adopting working breads such as Mals.
Enjoying this series. I have a 11mos Old English Bulldogge and we're having to go back to basics as I'm recovering from an Achilles injury. With me being injured last 2-3mos has caused him to (respectfully) sneak away and have a pee inside vs tell me to go out. I'm working from home so that also is adding to more opportunity for him to sneak away
You guys are SO Comical!!🤣 ❤️
haha thanks
I have a czech shepard working line...ive had 3 german show line before. Out of all shes the best companion by far. Ive never problems with people chewing on furniture or attacking other dogs. She learns real fast. She was reactive on leash from excitement towards other dogs. Forrest mickie suggested even more training for compulsion and strict boundaries for basic commands. She responded immediately. A top breed imho..im 70 frail old lady.she is my constant companion...lots of working lots of exercise lots of love lots of strict boundaries❤
Great points made here regarding Social Media, unreal expectations. Thank you.
Thanks for watching !
I loved the conversation about pit-mixes and shelter dogs. My dog is a shelter dog, and I prepared for EVERYTHING. She was labelled as a lab/hound mix, and I basically treated her like she was going to be 100lbs. It was the safest and best thing to do. She turned out to be 30lbs (turned out, pitbull/chihuahua). I agree, that pit mixes (and mis-labelled bullies) are heavily dolled up. I /STILL/ see the mis-information of nanny-dogs spread around. I love my dog so much, I dress her up, we colour coordinate because I'm a lunatic- but I still have to keep in mind the genetics. The drive, the genetic animal-aggression, her strength, and how she handles fear, even though she's SO LITTLE. Pitbull advocacy is great, and I'm definitely the person who loves my "pibble", but the way that we do it I think needs to change in a way that we don't downplay the reality of it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The only thing I pricked my ears up on (no I’m not a dog) 56.28 was Tom saying dogs….or did you mean animals in general were built to run. Dogs/Wolves in the wild run/sprint for the hunt but mostly they play (esp. puppies) and sleep. I think dogs would consider going for a walk/run is work. I absolutely love seeing owners actually playing with their dogs too (not talking on their phones in the park whilst dog doing it’s own thing).
Nice conversation loved it
Thanks for watching the podcast !
This podcast needs more like 👍🏼 come on fam!
Love the videos!
Thankyou for this, have confidence to handle my boy in new situations now
Also... and this is for anyone who is looking for an amazing mentally stimulating sport to do with your dog... especially if you live somewhere that is rainy or cold in the winter.... Washington state... nosework is amazing! I just added an intro to nosework class this year where I combined competition nosework/ scentwork skills with barn hunt, shed hunting, along with SAR tracking and medical alert detection. I did avalanche SAR with my dog years ago and have recently gotten into the medical and other sporting side of things... so I rolled it all into one super fun class to learn the basics of all of that scent detection with a ton of stimulating brain games and the dogs go bonkers for it! Amazing way to give a lot of those working and sport breeds that much needed mental exercise!
Side note any dog can do it too. The dog that did the best and really took it seriously was a mini pit under 1year, and we had a Branco Italiano, chezch Shepherd, and labs in the class. So get out there and find some fun brain stuff for your dogs!
If I did not live in Canada I would join.
Fantastic discussion about types of the same breed. I fell into the trap I'm believing I needed a schuetzen Doberman. 3000.00 later, dog import lines, so difficult.
Loving the pods bro
Great info. Along with littermate syndrome and being an only dog in the litter, there's also SSA - Same Sex Aggression. Most trainers don't usually even want to address dogs fighting in the same household, so thank you for addressing it. Different standards for each dog, crate and rotate, rules of the house. Have 2 brother male adult Dobes - diff litters years apart. We started with hound of the Baskervilles muzzles in order to get them in the same room together. Reinforcing the pecking order (everything happens first with the first dog that was in the household - from my experience anyway). Keeping a journal of when, why, what was around - triggers, etc. It's usually the more growly one that's actually the less confident dog - surprisingly. .Getting the dogs tested for a full thyroid panel if the aggression just started - (Dr. Jean Dodds and thyroid issues).
Love you guys. I want to be like you some day. Hugs from México. I wish the dog culture here in Mexico improves a lot and fast, most owners and people who adopts are waiting for the dogs to behave and do everything just because, people here doesn't want to put effort, time or money in training their dogs.
Cual tipo de perro tienes y donde vives?
To things: as we get older (over 60 now) it is harder to deal with giant breeds. I can still walk them and care for them, but when my Irish Wolfhound Male got sick suddenly, I discovered I cannot lift or even drag 180lbs to the truck, let alone into the truck. And he came from a home where one owner was now using a walker and posed a hazard to him because the dog was a 'leaner'. Good discussion, might note that most breed have breed-specific rescues. Most are VERY particular who gets a rescue hound, helping ensure that it is successful for both hound and new owner. Also there to help all the way through the life of them.
Training my service dog Husky Shepherd mix our new favorites are Vital Essentials Rabbit Bites Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats obsessed
Love to hear it!
It would be good tò dò a videò on mental stimulation for dogs.
Love thiiis
THANKS SO MUCH!
We got our 1st GSB in August at 8weeks. We went back and got his brother and my puppy freaked out and bite his ears (no blood) for hours and I really do not think it would have stopped. My husband took his brother to work the next morning and the Breeder took him back. My puppy just wanted me his favorite person and don't think he wanted to share at all with his brother.
ya, puffy lamb lung treats! Very good for my old folks to treat my dog cuz they are dry, not crumbly, not greasy! Great treats!
My experience with a male and female littermates great danes was wonderful. No fighting they were just as affectionate with us as each other and the separation anxiety would last about 5 minutes. I heard of people having problems but I had none. I also had zero chewing or destruction problems. So I believe if handled properly it can be fine. Oh and I don't over humanize my dogs and take offense. On a daily basis you work with people who don't know what they are doing with dogs and they have all kinds of problems but that isn't everyone
I love the gsd they are very easy to read and very willing to learn --just saying and also the Lancashire Heeler brilliant dog for traing also !!---just saying xxx
I Rescued a husky lab mix that was whining and chewing the chain link fence. He was there a month. I wanted to train him the Cesar way lol. That dog got me beer out of the fridge, picked up the ringing phone, and retrieved things off the floor for me. That boy was a bored intelligent animal and as the humane services lady said,"he was misunderstood"
Yes!
I have a calm, consistent energy but I like to do stuff. Some how I have a house full of three working line GSDs, a mal and a mal mix. One was a rescue mission and I’m holding her for a few days. The others welll, only one was meant to be a forever dog and here we are. I did not go out of my way to own these dogs. They became my calling. I wanted a chihuahua 🤣
(These dogs are all Working English Cocker Spaniels) We had an accidental pregnancy with one of our old dogs because we got a puppy and didn't have him neutered yet and my parents didn't realise that such a young dog could reproduce (he was 11 months when the puppies were born) we kept 2 of them because they just didn't get picked and essentially spend every day together. However they both do not have any attachment issues to each other, they will still curl up in a bed together with their dad. We've never had any issues with them fighting, the most they ever do is that one of them (Wiggles) will get possessive / jealous and growl at the other (Flood). they do this thing sometimes where they stand really close next to each other (nose to tail) and kind of look like they have a stand off, so tails straight out, heads up with ears pricked. Good thing is that they will just walk away from each other and they have stable communications. However, Flood has some anxiety and tends to always carry something around and pace, he's very highly strung and a bit intense. Wiggles is very laid back and lazy, to the point where we practically have to force him to go outside to pee, because if not he will literally hold it until he's desperate. They're pretty interesting to see interact and socialise as a little groups. (we still have the dad 13yrs and two "puppies" 12yrs, their mum passed in 2016 and their dad has a tough time sleeping since ad will howl in his sleep)
Sister has a husky and doesn’t walk it and keeps it tied and when she feels bad for it she lets it lose but it always leave the yard at all
Means .. your thoughts. She had been told husky’s always find a way to leave and so, to avoid it being picked up she keeps it in. Along tie out.. I’ve gone toning eh dog and she gets happy, but my sister ain’t a runner or a far distance runner her area is awful and no room in street to walk her dog. I was amazed when I actually had to try running it and walking it in that area .. awful conditions in the “Hood”
Wonderfull episode, I have a question: What means to mentally stimulate a dog? Whats means to give a dog a job? Can you make a video with examples? Thanks folks
For treats the healthiest and easiest thing I’ve used is air fried chicken skin and beef liver chopped up real small
Speaking from experience, I bet alot of people don't know what they are getting into when they get a dog. There should be some kind of PSA before getting a dog.
Great episode! I would like to see more about pitbulls/terrier breeds and how to give them all the stimulation they need :-)
Me too!!!
Thank you for pointing out that you and your team are lifestyle dog trainers. I agree that the training you are doing is important for people who have pets. But, choosing the right pet can be hard if people do not ask questions of trainers or other dog professionals to assist them in finding the right dog for their own energy. Dog shelters to me are places where an experienced person, meaning someone who had success with their first dog, can go save a dog. They can teach the dog rules, boundaries and limitations. People do not learn what exactly a dog is, the history, and what a dog is communicating to them. Thank you for the video. May the Creator bless you, your family and your crew for all the positive efforts and knowledge on helping people with your free content on UA-cam and in the communities where you make your presence. Stay safe.
Love meeting the 'shadow influencer' behind the social media posts! What a great idea to delegate!
Treats are so important to we who loyally follow your channel.
You say the packages, of the two treat manufacturers you use, are on the other side of the room…no one can stand up, walk across the room and bring back both bags to show us, your viewers, what they look like?
I used to be so guilty of being 'captain correct' and being to expectant of the behaviour from my dog. With my new puppy I'm all about paying them for their behaviour. 😂 ❤ thanks guys for awesome insight.
Can you teach me how to stop my older dog being so grumpy to my new puppy. Old dog is now captain correct and won't give any leeway! X
I have a 20 month old female purebred border collie and a purebred Burmilla cat which acts likes a dog, he’s 11. The cat and dog are always together and have bonded big time. If the dog goes away for the day the cat howls all day and looks for the dog. The dog also looks for the cat is he’s not around or sleeping under covers. Unfortunately my cat is ill and I worry what will happy to my bc when he does pass. Any advice? We do have another female cat but unfortunately the female cat (rescue stray) and female bc do not get alone.
i absolutely love australian shepherds but simply do not have the space to give enough space to burn off that energy! one day ill have my farm 🚜
I enjoyed the bantering convo, but it's too long for me to listen to the whole thing. I'd really appreciate it if there were time markers so I could access the subjects I'm particularly interested in hearing answers to.
Thanks for the feedback
ALWAYS HAVE A KONG TOY TO CHEW ON AND DRIED COW BONE FOR THE DOG TO HAVE ALSO
woohoo!
Dried cow bone? Smoked? Cooked/dried? I buy raw femur bones, cooked bones will break and shard
i have a question, i have a red healer that is deaf and i was wondering how i can train him, i hope you can help.
Some people assume that a dog will associate the absence of a correction with demonstrating the correct behavior. The hardest thing for people to grasp is “payment” I see this often with the handlers I train.
I love the "standard" talk, what I tell people is you can aim for the stars or you can aim at hovering over the ground, make up ur mind and hold it there or progress slowly!
Definitely agree when you get these mixed breeds that you don’t know what you’ll get. I DNA tested my Dachshund mix 50% dachshund 12.5% heeler it was an older wisdom panel test, and the rest of the percentage a few groups toy and terrier. She definitely is drivey from the heeler. She LOVES toys and rips up a toy that has a squeaker to kill the squeaker. She can fetch and catch a frisbee. She literally loses her shit with toys and also hogs them and hides them as well. So yes it’s a gamble with mixed breeds.
Now the hounds I have 8.
2 beagles, 3 bassets, 1 bloodhound mix 25% blood, 25% treeing walker, 12.5% black and tan, 12.5% golden. She’s a water dog from the golden side she sees pond she will swim in it. And 1 full blood Treeing Walker. The treeing walker is the most intense high energy dog I have, more high energy than my GSD. I have trained all my dogs off - leash with Dogtra thanks to Tom. These Hounds are no joke and having multiple is even harder. The only reason we can manage 9 dogs in 1 house hold is we are a stay at home family due to my 75 year old dad who is a Vietnam veteran with Parkinson’s. I work part time in home health care staying home caring for my dad and doing online college with my 1st child on the way and my Bf works full time.
I 100% Do Not Recommend getting multiple Hounds if you don’t know what you’re doing. All of our dogs except for 2 are from people who could not handle them. And my GSD was from a friend who never had a dog didn’t know what she was doing and this GSD puppy ended up neglected and with Reactivity. 5 months later she gave her to me. My GSD is the reason why I found Tom’s channel and without it she would have ended up becoming worse.
What type of mental and physical stimulation would you recommend for 2 litter mate 8 month old feme Rottweiler puppies?
Hello Tom 😊 It’s been a while since I’ve last commented on your channel. I’m enjoying these chats, some good advice to a variety of issues….
If you ever come to Alberta, Canada you should check out the “Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary”. I’ve never been there myself, but I do follow them online. I thought of you when I first saw what they were doing to help these beautiful animals! Perhaps your audience could check them out, every bit of attention to their channel will help these magnificent creatures 😊
Any board and train recommendations for someone in SD, California?
My housing situation changed recently and am in dire need of help.
I had friends go to Essex Tech 🙃

Our puppy that we got at the shelter at 12 weeks was labled as just Mix Breed. No info on what mix she is, though our vet thanks she is a lab mix. Eventually I am going to get a DNA test to find out what she actually is for the benefit of training, and health.
Though training is going well.
(Got a puppy beause we have cats, and chickens, and we felt it best to get a younger dog to train them to leave the cats and brids alone.)
We got a bucket of Stewart's chicken liver treats. Luna loves them!
They are the best!
At what age can you start to introduce a slip lead? I have a 4 month old puppy that doesn't walk well on a leash and I want to start working the heel command with him
4 months is fine. I suggest taking my NBD Kickstarter course to learn how to do it right!
Maybe there should be a level system for dogs for those people who don't have a clue. Level one dog could be the more laid back breeds up to level 10 or whatever like a malinois. Maybe that could help people choosing a dog and have a better understanding of the amount of work a particular breed would need.
