Hey Tom! Do you know of any good training in San Diego, CA? I have a one yr old Boxer. I enrolled her at Petco class and its terrible! No help at all. I got her an ESA for my son who has Aspergers. I watch and use info from all your vids, thank you!💛

??? Tom, I am currently building a boarding and training facility and I was curious where you got your kennels from???

Hey tom. I have a question for you and hope you can help I have a dog about a year old and he is a mix of

Bullmastiff and something else not sure but he is extremely hyper and don't know how to calm him down just would like a

Tip or trick

Let me know in the comments!

Yes

Yes, I would love to see the layout and thinking/reasoning behind it.

Yes please, and congratulations for the 2nd facility 🙂

I see lots of people who it is obvious they are not active and mostly sit doing nothing get a very high energy dog and think it’s the dogs fault it doesn’t behave when the owners are 100% to blame

Agreed!!!

Yep. Or have border collies and crate them all day😔

I honestly really wish the trainer would have gotten real with the owners and told them this may not be the right breed for them.

@@lizziez123 agreed, way too much dog for their obviously sedentary lifestyle. Not fair to the dog at all! And this is one of the smartest and hard working dog breeds, I feel very bad for this dog.

And needs a handler who understands that. Bless her heart. She wants the dog to do what she wants it to do but hasn’t invested any quality time with the dog.

Which working breed does my laundry and taxes? That is a working breed I need.

It will be bether for the dog if she gives him to a shelter. That is not a breed for her!

I would love that video. I am getting a Cane Corso in a few months and would love a better understanding of the variety of collars that are out there and which one is best for my breed of dog.

We use a martingale for our GSD dog tags 24/7. She couldn't slip it off like she could the flat but otherwise either is fine for tags. For training, and taking her out and about, we use the prong. We've used slips on other dogs but with her thick neck fur and general non-sensitivity, the pronge makes a huge difference in our communication. No more reactivity! Yay! And they really, really don't hurt the dog! Sometimes we've put a scarf around the prong when around positive-only people (whose dogs keep yapping away!).

Yes!!! This would be such a good video!

How about instead of getting a “corrective” collar train your dog from the day you get him. Like heel, sit, down, stay, come, ya know the basic instead of hooping into this kind of training

Elliot Goldendoodle I’m honestly ashamed you’re a human and I have to share a species with you... If you pay any attention to many videos he has done, a lot of dogs have training and were trained well; however the OWNER can’t be a decent human being and take control to enforce good behaviors and CORRECT bad ones. A dog can know 100 commands, if he doesn’t want to do them and you don’t correct him, he’s going to keep doing them and telling you to F-off. You cannot train a dog to sit, stay, down, etc. without CORRECTING them when they don’t listen. Also, he’s NOT training the dogs, he’s training the OWNERS and introducing the dogs to the structure - of the dog’s pack. You are alpha, you need to learn how to alpha and you need to teach the dog how to listen. What do you just think all puppies magically- listen and don’t need corrections and positive feedback when they do good? 🙄 Honestly, this is the most foolish and downright disgusting comment I’ve seen all day. I think you need to use your brain a little more; you developed one for a reason - to be used for practical and logical thinking. A corrective collar is a tool we use, properly, to help the dog while he’s learning. No one is chopping his toes off. It’s pressure. It’s like telling a child “don’t touch” and instead of letting them touch the fire - you swat their hand away. Don’t have to slap them to hell, just a quick snap to be like “what the heck did I just say! N o t o u c h it” and they LEARN. They UNDERSTAND. They hear “don’t do that” and their brain goes “endure some discomfort that I really hate - or do I not risk anything and just listen so I get my candy?” Some children don’t care if you put them in time out. I’m an abuse survivor so I do not support hitting. I will snap my wrist and catch a little hand, or arm, whenever I need to - because I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING MY KIDS. DOES NOT MATTER THE TOOLS. If I am SAFE and I am NOT ABUSING them or causing them extreme pain, I’m not being inhumane or evil. Each dog is different and so is each kid. Sometimes you gotta do things that sound awful and they’re just NOT. It’s the people applying it WRONG that are evil. Not the tools. Stop acting like the collar is bad. The person misusing it is bad. Frankly I hope you never own a dog or have a child. I would fear for either in your care. You clearly wouldn’t care enough, to properly raise either or. All because you won’t use the tools provided, because you’re just against them. You’re not being more humane; you’re being dangerous and promoting a dangerous narrative. The collars are not the issues. Misinformation and misuse is the issue. Stop blaming the collars and start blaming the people that don’t use them right. Applying pressure to help the dog associate bad things with icky feeling, is good. Would you rather just shoot the dog with a nail gun? Like seriously, what are you asking for here? How would you correct bad behaviors in puppies, if you’re against the tools? Please come at me with your best logic for this, you keyboard warriors all think you’re geniuses and have all the answers. Hit me with your best shot. How you gonna train your puppy and succeed, without corrective tools, such as a corrective collar? Gonna beat them? Water bottle? How’s that working? Bet the dog would still bark and basically tell you to go hop off a bridge - because they won’t listen when they start not caring and you’re letting them get away with it. Can’t wait for the illogical shade.

So many people think it is the dog when it is 100% the owner

I was thinking the very same thing. This is just a normal border collie. I would bet his bites are just nips maybe he nips hard. some herding dogs have a harder nip with then are excited.I give them a ton of credit for working with her. I would have said this is the wrong dog for you. The dog looks like a nice dog, I could teach that dog new behavior each day and I bet he would love it. He just wants someone to tell him what to do and he is happy. I cant help but feel bad for the dog. Unless she gets a lot of help this will go right back to how it was before. the older you are the harder it is to break those habits.

If Tom sees this, he could tie a bit of elastic to their hand and attach it to their belt. That way they should know not to do that unless they're correcting. Pressure for pressure.

@@kairu_aname Great idea!

@@David-ry5il yes to all that. It is a mis-match: this high energy working dog needs work to do, activity, lots of exercise, and a calm non-reactive handler. It is also much to the owners' credit that they are trying hard to figure it out.

Right?! It was making ME anxious and frustrated so I know it was 1000 times worse for the dog

That's right, it's a tough habit to break.

@@tomdavisofficial I saw your video with german shepherd and how the herm sprenger instantly had the dog way more controlled and behaved so I ordered one and its night and day with my 6 month old Dobe. I can actually walk her without non stop battling and leash popping on the choker. I was starting to do it so much I didn't want to hurt her but the herm sprenger has been a life saver. Thank you!

Very happy for you, thankyou

Thanks for watching :)

Happy for you, thank yoi!

Thanks for watching, Dan!

The dog in your profile picture looks JUST like mine! What breed is he/she?

Heck ya! Thank you! We plan on coming to CAN next year!

I’m glad to hear you ordered from Toronto! I’m from Windsor and have been holding off ordering. I’ll now go ahead and order. Thank you. P.s I’ll definitely be attending if you come around my area!! That’s exciting.

Ooooo, hope you come to Calgary, AB! I have been recommending your channel to all my friends with dogs that are having issues. Your experience and the way that you explain things is THE best👍

DId you like the behind the scenes stuff?

@@tomdavisofficial I did ! It would be nice to met them and see you put up your new facility congratulations by the way I’m so glad you’re growing!

@@carlosservin9328 Thanks for the feedback

Me too, I liked it !!!!!

She is

Thanks so much!

Heck ya! thank you so much!

👍🏻👍🏻

It’s always a good thing to learn about animals ❤️

Thanks, Rachel!!

@@fem2dance yes you’re right, actually I’m terrified of dogs but it’s really interesting to see Tom explain their behaviours ie they’re scared sometimes not aggressive etc

Thanks, Katherine!

@@tomdavisofficial Your trajectory is still upwards! I refer you to everyone that meets George and asks “wow how did you train him like that?” @Tom Davis! 💯

He is!

The owner had the issues not buddy

Thanks so much, Laura!

❤️

Yep!

I was imagining having some kind of cord or belt around the owner clients body and her leash arm to keep it down. 🤣🤣

I know, she kept yanking the leash before the dog even had a chance to do right....it was really annoying me.

Very, very happy!

True

Agreed. And that's not even a put down against the owners. Most BC owners aren't prepared to meet their needs for mental and physical exercise. Amazing animals - poor pets for most households.

I second that. Their energy doesn’t match their dogs energy.

@@someguyontheinternet7165 exactly. bc's are great sport and work dogs, but most aren't content with the average pet dog life.

100 percent

They need a pug or a Maltipoo

haha

Thanks, Sandy!

Awesome to hear, thank you!!

YES!

totally agree and I'd go further and say that wasn't a pure Border Collie - looks like it's got something else in the mix which could add further traits. The husband didn't give off the vibes like he was going to get active with this dog any time soon either. It's a working dog - they are going to struggle to calm him and keep him mentally stiumulated if he's not getting much exercise. Hopefully it works out well for all involved in the end.

THANKS!

That's why I put these out.

HELL YES! Thank you!

Thank you, Katie!

Thank you, Sara!

THANK YOUI!
