Tried this today walking my reactive Vizsla. The other lady was understanding enough to let me approach the turn away when my dog agrressed. I took only 3 repeats for us to walk past. She said well done, which boosted my confidence. Nice when people actually help out

Dude really doesn’t give up on these dogs. Took the bite like a professional and progressed the correct way. There were SO many other ways this could’ve gone but he handled it to the best of his ability and adapting on the fly. This guy is a trainer of trainers. Sheesh. Phenomenal adjustment

Tom: he's good with people? Owner: yes

‘Does you dog bite?’ “No” (Dog attack’s) ‘ I thought you said your dog didn’t bite?’ “That is not my dog”. - pink panther

Tom, I love the way you admit you keep learning from each and every dog you work with. Very humble, clever and smart approach.

The muzzle is literally your best friend when it comes to reactive dogs.

A muzzle is how I got my dog to quit being overly dominant at the dogpark. She needed to learn she couldn't act like that and that she was there to have fun. It took a while but she became safe to have at the dogpark.

Next video: "Hey everyone! don't forget to wear a cup"

I've learned a lot from you. Last week i got bit by a reactive dog just like this one and even tho i got to manage the situation really well after the bite, i felt awful. My mind was full of "you did terrible" "it was your fault" "you're not as good as you think", until i watched this video. Even the great ones get bit sometimes, but the important thing is to learn to read the dog after that and get to manage the situation as you did. Thanks for this video!

I appreciate a dog trainer that knows his stuff. You are spot on!

Tom, i have owned several Alpha male Dobermans and a few other working breeds to and have trained dogs on the side for a few decades too. I have to admit I enjoy your button down and candid approach to handling this Dobe. You have the humility and the sixth sense to work with these types of breeds and when these guys get fired up things happen fast. Thanks for working through these issues with the dogs you get. You are better then many of the so called "experts" in that your work and patience does the talking for you.

I just started working with a trainer. My girl did exactly this same behavior ~ she loaded; then she redirected on the trainer; after a bit she did the avoidance thing. Thank you for this!

LOVE your videos you've converted me from a purely positive approach to a balanced approach and my standard poodle ALWAYS gets compliments on how well behaved he is. Thank you for doing what you do.

I love that when a dog is scary Tom doesn't act like a tough guy and is like 'come take him come take him' cause it's fuckin scary! I do'nt care who you are a Dobie coming at you like that will make you wet your pants a little

The repeated "come take him" (from the trainer) is a real representation of how the owners repeat and react when they give there dogs a command when in a stressful situation.

How I wish there were more trainers out there like you. As someone who manages six dog boarding facilities let me tell you there are some crackpot trainers out there who don’t know what the hell they’re doing. You obviously have a natural approach. Just like liberty horse training. Approaching training by going through an animals natural responses and way of thinking produces amazing results. And without instilling fear. Rock on.

My rescue Pitbull terrier is exactly like this🤦🏿‍♀️. I've been watching all your videos & they have been very helpful these past 5 months. I'm saving my coins, so that you can help him with his dog aggression & bad temper. Thank you for all that you do! T A Z

I'm wondering about mental illness in dogs...never hear it mentioned

I was a temperament tester for a Boxer rescue group a few years ago. Everything this guy teaches is spot on. Every dog with so called "issues" is a puzzle and very unique. You have to study the behavior very carefuly to discover what the dog needs. I came across a rescue that was considered not rehomable. The foster couple, bless thier hearts had given up and were ready to let him be put down. Our paths crossed at a meet put on by the rescue. They kept him well away from everyone out of justified fear. I was very interested in meeting this dog. They were right, he would turn instantly. He was also a BIG boy. it only took 5 minutes ti figure out his trigger by paying attention to his reactions. Unfortunately I did not get to work with him but the fosters were able to gain some well deserved insight as to what was going to be needed to get him back to center. The OP is the kind of trainer and guide all others in the business should strive to be. focused, attentive and decisive. Thats how we get pups in bad head space back to being happy and attentive.

Owner of 2 male dobermans here. Great job! Loved the video. Keep up the solid work. ❤

I love watching these! As a new trainer, it’s cool to see these extreme cases before I have to handle it myself. Thank you!

I've had Dobies for over 50 years, the only time they were aggressive was when I gave a command to be aggressive. It takes full-time training. If you're not willing to train don't get a Dobie. They are naturally protective.

Excellent video. Your training methods are very sensitively logical. You worked so calmly with Leo no matter how he was reacting and it was fascinating to see how he began to respond in a calmer manner. Thanks for sharing this session.

I would love to see more of you working with that dog, that was really interesting to see the behavior change and maybe next time we could see if another dog instead were to walk around him or in the area not just staying still, what kind of redirection and skills of building upto the dog being okay with it or handling it differently. Love your work!❤

0:28 “no bad lawns” ahahaha! 😂 that was good 👍🏻

It’s amazing that he can manage to keep his cool enough to continue working the dog through that - my adrenaline was high enough watching that my poodle noticed!

Beautiful dog. People need to do their research before getting these kinds of working dogs. They need stimulation and training. Good to hear the owner now has more knowledge and can carry out his job as a good handler in a better way.

Soooo EPIC! This is how my Shepherd is 🙄 I’ve been doing the feathering technique and it has been working but we have to start long distance apart from other dogs. Whoow! Beautiful to watch. Thank you Tom!

“No Bad Lawns” lol! Thanks, Tom!

Love how you study the dogs when you train, their movements and reactions. A lot of trainers don’t do that trust me. I love to watch dogs and how they move and react. Love to know my dogs. Thank you for all you do!

This video really was a help to my wife, our pup and myself. There's a dog on our dead-end street that frenetically runs up and down his e-fence line near the road. Our dog picks up on the energy and becomes reactive, turning on us with teeth bared. We have been avoiding the dog by walking along the highway to get back home. Last night we took a wider berth around the frantic dog and cut across a neighbour's lawn, still in sight of the wild dog. Our girl still noticed the dog but wasn't reactive. Thanks for the video, problem solved. We'll move a bit closer daily and watch our girl's reaction.

OUTSTANDING! Thank you for this. Some do not understand, even though this breed is considered medium sized, if the drive is there - the strength can be immense. For one to reach out to a proper trainer, is the BEST thing one can do for their dog and themselves. And yes, for people to remember - not all dogs are the same and we cannot expect them to be all things we want. Must say, glad yu are ok, and that Doberman is stunning!

many many thanks for being honest, that there might be boundaries we can't overcome with our dogs, and that maybe even you cannot fix every kind of problem completely. that is important to keep in mind when having a real consistent issue - which my dog has with some "special buddies" in the neighbourhood. But meanwhile watching many of your videos I've got ways to deal with it - and he improves! I'm so grateful for that - thank you over and over. Needless to say that several trainiers here (Germany) couldn't help. You did!

Hey Mr.Davis , im so glad i found your channel. cause saturday i was watching you for a brief moment then decided to do some training , this was my game plan , step 1.go outside to the street in front my house and go up and down then when i reach the top turn to my left so i could desensitise condition him to turn next to my side , which he learned to do well stage 2. knowing the harness is designed to incourage pulling here is what i did to correct my dog from pulling , 1st. everytime my dog would get im front of me when i began to walk i would stop and pull him back to my side i would repeat this process for couple minutes my goal was to correct him to learn to walk at my side after couple minutes of this i ended learning and gaining confidence then yesterday i decided to repeat the process except this time i had the leash short and kept him at my side then moved on step 3 step3. go to top of the street and turn around then go to bottom of the street by my house then turn left i always made sure to turn left now im at the point that not only does he know to stay at my side he also walks at my side now and turns left with me , 😂😂😂funny part is this is my 3rd day repeating this training , i hope this helps another dog owner help their dog , ps. i did it this way cause nobody ever comes to my house so in event that the danger zone decides to present its self i would least have taught him that fight is not option his only option is to flight away from the DZ

You are the best, Tom. I can't get enough of your videos.

Loved this one... Especially the part where you explain how you're both feeling and figuring each other out... No dog is the same nd it takes a bit of time to learn each other

I would love to see if you have any tips for people who work at animal shelters, we pretty much only use slip leads unless the dog needs a harness due to health reasons. Maybe like getting a dog out of a kennel, or how to correct or walk a dog that pulls on a slip lead! Love your videos! So informative!

I would teach people about proper fitted muzzles and the right ones. Baskerville's are not bite proof and don't allow proper pant room. Dean and Tyler, Leerburgh and Jafco are much better. The dog should also be able to do a full pant and be able to yawn, so your dog hypothetically shpuld be able to hold a tennis ball in its mouth

FINALLY. A video I can really relate to. I have a spayed, four-year-old 112 pound European Doberman. She’s of course a tank of a dog and when she becomes dog aggressive it becomes a huge problem. A huge problem for several reasons: giving Dobermans a bad rep, potentially endangering other dogs, and potentially putting herself in danger if she goes after the wrong dog. I’m really gonna buckle down and work on her leash training and hopefully will be back with good results. Fingers crossed.

My German Shepard S H E E N A was attacked by another dog when she was 8 months entering a dog park. Ever since that incident she's become dog aggressive and will go after any dog she sees. You handled the Doberman attack well good job.

Seriously awesome. Having been a rottie family for over 23 years now, I have dealt with the "redirection" a few times. You handled it beautifully and didnt let one moment ruin it for you or that fur baby. You should start a Central Texas Canine Academy and move to Central Texas lol. Dobermans and Rotties are so much alike and to me, they sometimes need a different approach. Not heavy handed. I think you have to earn their respect cause they normally dont blindly follow lol. Ive learned alot over the years and I still learn watching your videos. If i were within 3 hours of ya'll, i would gladly make the drive easily if only just to see yall work in person. Thanks again for the awsome videos.

Wow. So cool to see this so real and your explanation of his behaviour. So cool that you kept working him through it and figured out the whys!

That is one of the most beautiful dobermans...ever!

Ohhh that was SO close! Eek! I’m glad you’re so quick and good with them. I really love your channel it has helped me with training my dogs. I have now taught both of my dogs the place and break command and I’m working on their leash reactivity atm. Thank you for the help ❤️

Tom, I guess that you don't want to show all your handling in some situations . But people should see how you stopped+ corrected the dog after his atack, and after a bite attempt without a muzzle. People must learn from it. There is no problem with necessary firm correction -thats routine. Btw. I am prof.dogtrainer, thats why I ask you not to cut most important frames out of the footage.

My new favourite trainer. Amazing work guys!

"I love this shit" should somehow be incorporated into a NBD shirt!

Man. I do totally wish I could bring my dog to you. This looks just like how he reacts. Living in an apartment complex is a disaster sometimes, but I love him so much.

Awesome video! I can’t believe the change from the start to the end! Great job!

the dobie looked genuinely scared/distrusting of Zora, he looked like he didnt trust either of them until finally he had to face Zora and her handler and you can see him look at each of them one by one and stay still trying to analyze what are they going to do. I think he was surprised to find out neither of them came near him, or reaacted to him at all. which was a great lesson for him to learn. but yeah - id still never handle that dog without a muzzle cuz damn.

Hi, I just saw this video and I recently purchased a 3-year-old female Doberman that is exactly like this dog. She gets so focused she will turn on me too. I have had Dobermans for 40 years and never had one like this. I have been so lost on how to redirect her. She attacks all other dogs, especially small dogs, cats, and people. It's like you said she seems to think she has to attack before they do to get her point across first. once she is focused in she blocks out anyone or anything around her and it's hard to break her concentration. I keep her isolated and that's not good for her but now I have a place to start with her since I saw your video. Thank You

NEVER saw that coming! And you ALWAYS Handle every situation...In a Way we are able to learn from..THANK YOU! R O G E R (A Pit Rescue your videos have help me so much with)

8:30 I understand you can't include everything, but I feel like it would be extremely helpful to see how you get through some of the worse situations you might just have to "wait out" or how long you wait and everything. Even if it's just a caption kinda explaining what you should do or any advice and stuff.

When he say it’s time for give away and dog jump on next to him. I thought he’s given away the dog. Got me amp for a minute…lmao

This pup is beautiful... I’m so glad you are helping him

I seriously appreciate you saying "hey, that first attempt, not so good, didn't go well. Let's try something else." I see too many trainers afraid to admit they messed up. P O T A T O

My dog is a husky and he isn’t as bad but when he see others dogs he just wants to go after them. His name is A T L A S

Our Luca is a rescued 170lb intact female. She busted through a window to get out. After a lot of discipline, love and respect, she is playing with our grandchildren. We still have real issues with other dogs, we live on a farm, so she has plenty of exercise. Thank you for your insight into how they are as individuals.

I just got a husky and she’s a very happy excitable dog. And watching These videos has been VERY helpful. Learning from the mistakes of others has been just as effective as the direct tips and lessons themselves. I ALWAYS correct while commanding, I had no idea this was a problem but in hindsight makes a lot of sense. If I punish you everytime I say sit, why would you want to? Learning to give the dog time to think and make a decision has drastically changed her level obedience. Not pulling on the lead while saying heel has also had huge benefit. No bad dogs

Love the videos, they have helped me train me and my girlfriends golden who has some issues with calming down so thank you keep it up♥️

B L A I S E. Well handled, crazy that he's doing it with a puppy.

he went straight for the balls 🤣

Man you are so down to earth and real with your videos and approach. So grateful to have found you. My dog is very fear aggressive large german shepard, I rescued from abuse and neglect. You've given me knowledge I so needed to help this dog, who was headed for euthanasia before I got him ! D U K E

That’s an intense and sharp dog. Definitely interesting to see him acting a bit more curious instead of defensive in the end! Oh boy, I’m in for the gear giveaway. My dog’s name is: Y U K O N Can’t wait for the next video!

You are doing a great job teaching us. Thank you so so much🙏🐕

Love the realism in these bids bro. Too often they show you a couple of tactics and corrections on a dog and suddenly it listens right away -_-

Wow Tom, that is scary! Major respect for you and what and how you train dogs.

When you moved away with the dog you heightened his want to attack. You should have held your ground and raise the leash to keep him controlled, but you running away makes it worse

When that dog redirected and went for your business, my heart damn near stopped 🤣 glad everything turned out alright and hopefully the owner continues working with him. & just in case I did it wrong the first time 🙈 V A D E R

I love how you could tell that doesn’t work for him and tried something else for him

Excellent work Tom, you handled this situation so well. Respect to you brother !!😊😎

My Doberman gets aggressive like that when I tell him he can't have whatever it is he picks up while on a walk. He'll step in front of me to cut me off and start showing teeth. If he sees something he wants to chase, and starts barking and pulling.....when I hold him back, he comes at me. He also growls and tries to nip me when I put his food bowl down at feeding time and leave the kitchen. He just turned 2 in Nov. 2020 and has never shown aggression towards other people or dogs he sees while out on walks. He wants to play. But being a Doberman, and having the reputation that they do, most people don't want their dog near him.

Much love Tom❤ Thoe i will never get why people cut of their puppies ears and tails and let them suffer for months with taping them.

These vids have helped so much! My pitty and I were attacked on our morning walk by a neighbors loose dog and since then he’s very protective and dog reactive where heckles raise he starts drooling and shaking with an intensity to get ANY dog (before it gets us in his mind is what I’m thinking) it’s been a long road but he’s getting better with help of these vids so HUGE TY!

I keep saying neutering a dog is a waste of time, and this dog is the proof. Breeding and training is KEY...

I think it's a big mistake to train this anxious/frustrated/reactive dog in a situation with more distraction than 1. the new environment (= the training facilities) 2. being handled by another person - a stranger. To be honest you set this up to be a failure instead of setting it up so you and the dog could succeed. To ask something of this dog when he's worked up (suspicious/anxious/frustrated/fearful) due to that other dog is basically asking for him to redirect - and it's very unfair, in my opinion. It's like asking a crying or overstimulated 5 year old to say what 2+2+1 is or have them calmly tell you about their day in the middle of a screaming fit. I hope you get my point here! You should definitely help this dog to "redirect" and do something else instead, but dogs can't do that and properly learn if you don't give them a fair chance - which means setting up the situation/environment right. It's like, I see what you're trying to do but you haven't entirely thought it through. "Let's just bring in another dog and see how it goes!" Well, YOU might be able to handle it - but how about the dog? You're not giving him a fair chance to make it.

"My name is Joseph Carter, the mink man". I swear it's the same guy

Dude lots of respect. I would’ve freaked out!

Ubba the Swiss Shepherd and Fidji the Malinois - thanks so much for all you do. I now have the confidence with my dogs on walks and I also have control! I also have no fear of telling people why one of my dogs needs a prong.

It's not aggressive. It's just energy working dog and you triggered him.

The truth is u don't need a professional trainer all u need is patience and dedication 💯..Everything that trainer is doing u can do urself plus better cause ur dog knows u

No bad lawn... hahaha I laughed so hard.

Thank you for never giving up.

❤️❤️❤️ so excited for the new merchandise

4:50 What was after attack ? movie has a cut 3 seconds later ! How did you react ???!!

Whoa so brave working with such a strong reactive dog. Kudos to you Tom your the Bomb.

There are different ways of handling this .. Its debatable that what is the best method. I really like that the trainer says that he is figuring out the dog and he made a mistake (Its not his fault as every dog is different) and that its a learning process for himself. He is calm and doesn't use excessive force. Good job.

Holy mother! that was intense. He is gorgeous! man, I still have a long ways to go. UGH!!!

Favorite trainer to watch!

Dude is the prank invasion of dog training...

Man good thing you threw that muzzle on 🤣

Aggressive, yes. But wow, that heel is so good! The way he immediately goes right back to the left side after a turn and walks so close and looks the handler‘s way. Really nice to see

Is he good with people? Yes. 🤔🤔🤔 Thats redirected aggression. Oh I can't bite that dog I'm barking at so I'm going to bite you.

Amen and finding a willing trainer is tough

I love your dedication. Not many people can take a bite and come back to help. I can. But I’ve yet to meet another who can. It’s scary but I know it’s not personal. Humans hurt with personal intention. I’d rather be mauled by a dog than beat up by a person.

is there a reason why the dog is like that in the first place? can these aggression issues be prevented?

You flooded a dog known to redirect... Surprise! And then tried to run away from it while holding the leash. This is a hugely yikes handling.

2 years ago I trained a Dobey with the exact same issues! A lot of the dogs I've trained that bite their owners, the owners are hitting the dog. I'm sure you know, and have said something to the owners privately, because you really know your stuff. Your methods are excellent. I know you don't want to put that on the vid, so as not to embarrass the owner. (the black shepherd in the other video, owner was definitely hitting him). To all the Owners out there, with similar problems: please get a good trainer to help you and STOP HITTING YOUR DOG!

I desperately need your help. I have aggressive dog. She is deaf. She lunges as everyone but is the sweetest most well behaved at home. She does have terrible arthritis on her spine and small cancerous tumors. So that explains some of the flying off the handle. I can't have a dog sitter or family over. Please help
