THANK YOU for the enormous amount of work you’re putting into this No bad dogs-mission. I’m a journalist in television in Denmark, so I KNOW how many many hours goes behind a video like this. So just wanted you to know how grateful I am for your work 🙏🏻 I have a male Spanish water dog who’s 11 months old, and we both really benefitted from this balanced training. In Denmark the official kennel club excludes any owner who corrects their dog during any training - they only use positive training. So we’ve struggled a lot, because it hasn’t been working. You taught me (in one of your podcast episodes) that this breed (strong working breed, both herding, hunting and guarding) needs a strong leader and a leader with very clear boundaries and rules, and it has revolutionized our world. There’s still a lot of progress ahead, but this balanced approach makes it so much more fun - now it truly feels like training and not like work. Whoops, wanted to keep it short. I could go on for a while. Anyway - thank you, Tom!

Hi! Dog behavioralist & trainer from Colorado here. Always impressed!! Not only are you EXCEPTIONAL WITH DOGS, you have OUTSTANDING PEOPLE SKILLS as well!! Thanks for putting out these videos.

It's so common to see these insecure-type reactive GSDs. It's always amazing to watch the transformation that can occur with them once simply given guidance and accountability! They have great potential with just the right obedience and handling.

It's important that if someone is thinking to purchase a GSD.They need to watch Tom's Videos. So many Shepherds put down and put in shelters.

I thank Tom Davis and his training method. I’ve raised my 1.5 year old DDR German Shepherd using these methods since she was a pup. Whenever people compliment her behavior I always recommend them to check out this KZfaq channel. All props to you Mr. Davis!!

Proof of how balanced, relationship-based training is the best way to communicate with dogs! Great work again!

I’m a novice trainer with low confidence with working with aggression/reactivity. Working with other balanced trainers as well as watching these videos really helps me out. Keep up the amazing work!

Yikes….so many times it’s a GSD. He’s a beautiful dog. This owner certainly came to the right place. Good point about basic obedience must be in place before anything else can happen. Great video Tom!

I love seeing you working with GSDs. They can be such a challenge at times because people often buy them as protection dogs, but without training to be protection dogs, they become the opposite. I ended up taking in one GSD when his former owner got disgusted with the dog. His idea of protection training was to praise fhe dog when he barked at something... "Good Boy, PROTECT!!" He then was flabbergasted when I called his dog's bluff, and walked right up to the fellow, all the while with him commanding "Protect! Protect!" The dog had a bad sense of security, and cowered when his barking bluff was called. I'd love to be entered in the giveaway, Thanks!

Communication is EVERYTHING. Let your dog know what they’re doing right. They’re not mind readers. No one will ever look at you as weak for letting your dog know it’s doing the request correctly. If they’re doing a good heel, TELL them so. If they’re not let them know and again when they get it. It’s a conversation and it’s ongoing. Dogs thrive on feedback just as humans do. It’s why our species work so well together.

Wanted to share something SUPER special!! While at work today, I was talking to a customer about her dog and she shared that they had just wrapped up some training .. I shared that I also love working my dog when I’m not working! We were talking about off-leash control and I mentioned that I was going to purchase a Dogtra unit soon for that reason specifically! She said she had one and loved it! I then mentioned that I was inspired by this dog trainer I follow that I really look up to! And she was like “Omg Tom Davis?! I love him! I just got his unit!” It was SO special! I just couldn’t believe I met a fellow No Bad Dog Army member in real life!! I won’t forget that moment. 🥰

I love watching these videos. My border collie/Aussie doesn’t have behavioral problems (thank whatever god is up there) but they are super informative on everything else too. The information to the owners on how to walk with their dog completely changed our walks and the pulling. Loose leash 90 percent of the time. And we were at my family’s ranch and throughout the entire time there she was off leash and I would keep having her check in. Sure enough she figured out where the cows were in the last 30 minutes on the very last day. I called her once from a quarter mile away and she came all the way back. It was MY reward for hard work and consistency. I even caught it on video which I’m not ashamed to admit I go back and watch from time to time lol. Thanks Tom.

Using the e collar has helped allow me to have the confidence to have my dog off leash knowing I can get his attention back. We have worked hard to reduce his anxiety and reactive using your method. It has brought him back to his amazing self. I know we have a long way to go but I thank you for where he is at now.

Heel is much harder to achieve than I expected but when it finally clicks it's a very useful command for passing people, kids, other dogs, etc while off lead. 👍

The best thing about Tom is explaining the handlers WHY their dog is like this. My 4 year old Labrador got bitten by a stray boxer, since then he barks and lunges at other dogs passing close. I got him to the point where he barks one time and then he leaves it. It’s still freaking me out and I know it’s my fault for being not confident enough. Your videos help me so much, thank you

This is exactly how I trained my dog on the prong collar watching Tom's videos. I love Tom's passion for helping people teach their dogs.

Watching these is a constant reminder of why we have to work them every single day, and you need to advocate for them.

Cool, calm, and collective. There's a reason you're in the top of your field. Thank you for sharing this information and helping others become good dog owners 🙏🏻

Watching these videos is almost a daily ritual to help me learn more in my dog training career! Hopefully one day you can come to Canada I'd love to work with you and learn more

Always so cool to see the quick change in behavior with just a little direction from the handler. It never gets old.

once again you're helping me every day with my shepherd. I rescued him a month ago and he's made great progress but we still have a long way to go! thank you for sharing here and in the official club!! you're changing lives, tom!

In January 2020, I adopted a 2 year old mix transported here from a KY kill shelter…shepherd/doberman. I’ve had many dogs, but never a shepherd, and darn if, just like you said, shepherds have a totally different personality. I couldn’t believe it! You’re videos have been invaluable to me understanding him. Because of your detailed videos he and I are now the very best friends. I can’t thank you enough!!! Bless you!!

I just want to compliment the facility. You've made such great use of the space and the dogs always seem to easily get comfortable there 👏

Got the notification and just had to click to watch the video. I’m still at work so will probably have to watch this again 😂 Great video. For anyone reading the commend: the membership subscription is totally worth it!

Lots of clarity as to why the dog and owner were not connecting. I have learned so much from these videos and I love the No Bad Dog club. Thank you!

3 year old German Shepherd, loves humans. Is a brat with other dogs and wants to throw hands with almost every dog. Have worked so hard on obedience and waiting for the “macro” change, it just hasn’t happened. But having control and means of communication when she gets amped has been a huge help.

At home taking notes from the master. Thanks TD!

Your videos are life-changing 🙏🏻 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

So pleased to see others are in the same boat with a fearful dog.

This dog is so pretty he looks a lot like my gsd. This really helps me with heel I’ve been struggling with how long to keep him in a heel because he starts to stop wanting to pay attention and heel on our walks and I realized I never took it slow

As an owner of a nervous dog I enjoy watching ways to help her gain more confidence even if she isn't as severe a case

It was beautiful to see the first time he submitted on the leave it command. It was like a lifted weight for him. Good job buddy!

I'm so glad people help their dogs and take them to experienced trainers rather than getting rid of them.

Love the work as always. Keep it up man

Man I watch a lot of dog training videos, all the way from Cesar Milan on tv, to infinite videos on KZfaq and I resonate so much with how Tom trains dogs!

The way you can relate to the dogs owners and explain why their dogs do what they do and help the owners learn is incredible!

I don’t know why but when you break it down it makes so much sense and just clicks. Can’t wait to apply this with my dog!

No bad dogs and no bad videos from the academy.

Your videos are what helps me do my job as a vet tech watching and helping owners with their anxious/ insecure dogs.

Fantastic video!!! Thank you for posting this. We had a situation with my daughter’s boyfriend- he bit him. We have been following NBDs closely and it has helped SO much. We are very grateful 🤗🙏🏻

I like how you pointed out suppressing behavior. It is the go to for R+ (the dog will be worse because of corrections in the long run). I’m a balance trainer with 15 years experience and have NEVER seen a dog be anything but better and calmer.

I am so happy that you are doing longer videos that are focusing on retraining owners to help their dogs be non-reactive dogs. You give so much quality information even with these short videos as well. Thank you.

Your videos are the most helpful thing for me as a new owner with a German Shepard dog. It has changed my perspective of tools and seeing the ways they can help enhance my training. Can’t thank you enough !!

Your videos have helped me so much with my gsd, she is a completely different dog now!

We're having trouble with my rescue GSD resource guarding, right now. We're working on it, but have only just recently gotten him. Thank you for these videos! They truly help! 💜

I get so pumped up and excited seeing all the transformations. Tom is truly the best, he knows he could take the dog and train and teach what is necessary to help the dog but instead he helps the owner and the dog!! Because sometimes it’s the owners that needs the training.

It's also amazing how you are able to transmit the knowledge to the owner. I'm sure both are going to be fine after your intervention.

Love watching a dog progress slowly over the course of the video.

Amazing! Love watching these dogs become better dogs and their people better people for their dogs!

Literally the best KZfaq trainer I've come across

The heel command has helped my reactive dog a lot, most the time he is staring at me and doesn't even notice the distraction!

That difference in Drogo from beginning to end is insane! Such a good boy 🤩 You too Tom & owner 😎

Every time I watch one of your videos I feel even more empowered to give my dog a happy well balanced life (it’s working! ).. love from the uk 🇬🇧 xx

The explanations of the collar and the difference between slight corrections and major corrections are AWESOME! Makes total sense!

Alway stay in control. Dogs know more than you can imagine.

God bless you and those serving in the military

Great videos!! I had a reactive GSD for 9 years who we loved very much but he was always dog aggressive. Wish this channel was around back then.

What you do for dogs is amazing! Thank you for doing what you do.

Your calm confident assertive energy is what he has so desperately needed. Lol. Your the Supreme alpha dogs dream of

Love watching you help these dogs and owners. Very educational😁

These videos have been so amazingly helpful for working with my German Shepherd. I have learned so much and my dog is responding so much better.

I wish you could see how these videos changed my dog and I's relationship! It's amazing. I recommend everyone I know to your videos.

You can really tell how anxious he is and how much he just wants someone to lead him! Can’t wait to see where they end up.

Being an owner of an 8 month GSD, it's been a pleasure to see Droggo transform to being a calm dog. I think most people often forget that this breed is such a wonderful one if one has the patience for them. Wonderful video as always, Tom! I learn (and am reminded) of what needs to be done to help this beautiful breed excel in life.

love the content. Keep saving doggos everywhere!

I Love the way you work with the dogs and always explain every step to the human. Greetings from Germany😄

I just adopted a new GSD and this video was very helpful! Especially the part where you talk about the heel/break/throw a toy! My new dog is a toy monster and I using toys as a break reward is a great idea.

I have a 3 year old border that is food aggressive towards animals. Also goes after my cats. This is my 2nd border. My first a female is as sweet as it comes. I've raised and trained Rottweilers and never had this behavior.

Once again you have helped many of us understand what many of us are needing to do to help train our DOGS TY

Would really like to see another video update on Druego Tom !!......The owner stepped up and the dog responded ..as always!!!....The CA kill shelters are OVERFLOWING with owner surrendered GSDs .....so many wouldn't be there if their owners would watch Tom and just train them!! They" re excellent dogs..smart and easy to train.....but like Tom says....they need strong ,clear LEADERSHIP !!...and need to know their owners are in charge...and have the situation under control.....otherwise they try to take charge ...and thats where the problems start....So many are just plain insecure!! Alot don"t get enuf exercise ..which leads to anxiety and excitement,frustration and stress...So glad Tom puts out alot of GSD videos...Keep telling folks to watch them !! Hopefully it will help people to train their dogs and not give up on them !!!!!

Watching you daily Tom, like a Sponge learning everything I can from everything you put out!!Hope to one day be able to Speak Dog like you!!

Your videos are such a great help! I got my very first dog last year, he's now 14 months. Your videos are a big reason he's so well behaved. Thank you!

I have a gs as well and he is aggressive, your videos have helped a bunch. He is still going crazy when inside and certain dogs go pass the screen door and very minimal when on a leash. He’s getting better daily thanks to you !

Love seeing a notification for a new video! Love the content. It has helped my boy Link and I so much over the years

This is a great video showing that it’s not just the dog but the owner that needs to change how to handle the dog and create a better relationship

your my favorite dog person i used your videos to train my gsd who i got at 18 month old with zero training and zero socialiatation hes awsome now 19 months later and i owe thanks to your skills ty ty ty

I like the way you analyse the situation with the dog and the owner. Then you take time to explain what and why you are doing what you're doing. Easy to take what you do and say then do it myself.

So happy to see progress every time! Keep up the good work :)

"It's a inside job" - love it

I enjoy your work with aggressive dogs. I need as much help as you can.

Tom you are the best dog trainer ever. I enjoy every video how you explain everything to the owner and explain why your method works. The dogs always come out so calm and happy. Thank you for sharing ❤️🐾🐾

I am so thankful to you and all you do!! I can't wait to see the full episode on The No Bad Dogs Army Club!! You have helped me so much in changing my relationship with my dogs!

I love watching your videos, as they are a great foundation for my new Dutch shepherd pup.

These videos are helpful in so many ways. Each time, there's a reminder of how to find an improvement.

Gotta love those GSD, I know they're my heart breed, but they will take over if you allow it. Great work. Not fixed but both left with a different outlook on their relationship! You Rock Tom

The honesty of the interactions are so helpful to determine next steps in helping the dog and owner change behaviors. This really helps us at home with our dog.

Awesome, as always!

Makes my day when you post a new video~ I hope to go into a career of dog training, and seeing how you interact with the owners, and read the dogs body language is very informative and helpful!

Always great to see your work!!

I love seeing GSD videos! I have one of my own. I find that they are a very popular breed but, unfortunately, many owners lack the confidence and handling skills to own one. It is great that you are using your platform to educate people!

Great video! I had to re-watch that lunge correction like 3 times it was so beautiful

I love these videos and seeing the almost immediate change in these dogs!👏🏻

Always get excited when I see a video posted🤩

Hey Tom love all the GSD videos particularly the reactive/aggressive ones. They have been a great help for me and Kona my dog in dealing with the same type on issues she has. Thanks and ATB

Absolutely love hearing you break down the dogs body language and reasoning. Watching your videos are always so informative and it's great to see the difference you make in these dogs' lives!

Thank you for breaking things down! Love these videos, I look forward to them weekly.

You’ve helped me so much with my German Shepard and mastiff mix! I love watching your videos and I always learn something new to incorporate with my dogs training!

This is a similar position i am at with my dog. Hes reactive but getting his obedience better has helped his reactivity and anxiety when lead walking. Just more in control

I love these videos, the quality of information is so good! I have learned loads!

Love the vids Tom! Helps me a lot with my dog and helping others. Thank you!
