I've been following guys like Cesar, Tom Davis, Joel Beckman, Will Aetherton at Fenrir for years. This kid is money. Super helpful and awesome explanations. Keep up the great work.

This guy is going to blow up on YT. Great trainer and best explanation. Amazing content for such a new guy.

"...free-for-all moshpit of insanity" is such an accurate description of a dog park 😂😂😂

These are literally thousand dollar lessons for free on youtube! You’re doing gods work man! Saving lives out here. No joke

As a 25 year trainer I love your teaching style positive and realistic

Just discovered this channel a few weeks ago and it's by far the best channel on dog behavior/psychology. Thank you for doing this for all of us.

The best communicator I've seen in this space, clear, concise, and clearly knowledgeable. Thanks for the valuable advice!

Relationship is so important . My father in law has 6 dogs on the ranch. None in which he has trained that much. However they follow him to the end of the world. Listen when he calls. And guard the ranch with their life with little to no training. The relationship he built was through time , working together, and sleeping close .

Yes!!! Explained to me like the nerd that I am. I am guilty of 1) lying to my dogs 2) talking too much and 3) unproductive social interactions (and have EXACTLY the consequence Miles describes - a dog who is neutral when they want to be). In only the few days since I've made changes my dogs seem more relaxed on walks and I'm much happier.

I could not pay for this kind of information; it is so valuable .The least I can do is subscribe to your channel to support what you are doing. You're a complete gem.

Leadership is not being a brutal tyrant. It is being a respected, consistent, calm leader. Anxious owners create neurotic dogs.

Thanks for releasing this great advice online for free. You will be rewarded 1000%. I really like the structured approach and comparison to being parents of kids. Wishing you success!

THIS is the advice I’ve been needing!!Your videos have changed my relationship with my dog. Even after two days, I feel her confidence in me (and my confidence in myself!) growing. I’m so proud of her, I could cry! After two YEARS of effort, I finally feel like someone that she can put faith in. Thank you so much.

Omg, man... Trainers told me some of that stuff before, and I may have not been ready to listen, but this lecture is just amazing. So much value, such an eye opener, such clear communication. I can immediately identify a number of mistakes I make while trying to contain my reactive dog. Especially mistakes around trust and meeting other dogs. Thank you so much for this.

I’ve had dogs for over 50 years and didn’t realise about ‘unproductive social interaction!’ I believe my dog is reactive due to over socialising so thank you so much outlining this and the other points so well. I have a new puppy so will be working with the guidelines from this video. Thanks again!

Allie, I only found him a week ago....I'm absolutely hooked! He's so knowledgeable, so honest, and obviously gets all types of dogs, and owners! Happy watching!❤

First dog trainer I’ve watched that explains these concepts in a way that it’s easy to understand. The videos are amazing because it shows all the repetition that goes into the training vs others just showing the before & after leaving you thinking you cannot be a good leader to your dog. Thank you so much!

Love the example of a stranger going crazy over meeting your kid! You are terrific! Love it.

I'm so impressed with what I learned on relationship building and ALL the things I am doing wrong (and right). But mostly wrong... This is fantastic information and I can see the benefits and how important this core relationship building is to EVERYTHING else you do with your dog. It's going to be some tough love around our house going forward. Gotta go pick up some toys... I'm hooked. This gentlemen is very intelligent and I love the way he explains things. Best video on dog training I have ever seen by a mile. And I watch quite a few.

Dude I'm going to give you the most props for addressing the things with people that nobody else on this platform is addressing. I don't know how you came about knowing what needed to be put out there at such a young age you have such incredible wisdom. I'm going to guess that you were probably raised around dogs and somebody in your life that was knowledgeable! The scene behind all these tools and methods is what needs to be defined. You have to start with your canvas before the art can be created. You can't take chaos and turn it into perfection without the dog being able to 100% trust in the human and that takes the human thinking in a way that is unnatural and understanding what needs to be done versus what we feel the need to do.

I have a 50% mini Australian Shepard, 1/4 poodle, 1/4 Burmese mountain dog mix. 4 month old pup. She pulls the Aussie. Very high energy. Very intelligent. Learns QUICKLY. I started taking her to the dog park because she really needs to RUN. There’s one dog there that she gets along extremely well with . I train her at home and play endless fetch but there’s nothing that seems to tire her out more than running laps with her dog park friend. Now I learn that dog parks are bad…. I completely understand about not “socializing” out on walks with random dogs. I tell people she’s in training. However so many people want to pet her and getting all high pitched with their voices, waiving their hands around, “ oh she’s so cute she’s so cute”! She thinks they want to play so she’ll jump up on them. Then I have to explain. I don’t allow her to jump up on people… etc etc .. I’m so tired of explaining. I feel like putting a sign on her that says “don’t touch or talk to me. In training “!!

Teaching people this stuff is no less than a great public service - to people and dogs. Thank you. Respect!

Glad he mentioned saying no to extra social interaction. A couple yelled and swore at a lady who said no to their puppy meeting her dog, who she was trying to train. 😮 Great video

clearly this guy knows what he is talking about - when you can explain something simply, that means you truly understand it. and as a new owner, thank god I don't have to do the dog park. "free for all mosh pit of insanity" hilarious, but true (sadly). thank you for making this - I'm now subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more "real talk."

This is freaking great! As a owner of a “previously reactive” Aussie I learned all of this over a long period of time. Witch’s I could have learned this from you years ago!

Holy shit thank you soo much for actually explaining this! My brother had a dog that has, due to unforeseen circumstances, become my dog now. Now we've been raised on a farm, but never had a dog, so this level of training and trust between a dog and handler is completely new to me. She's since come a long way, I've managed to get her to a loose leash walk, and reinforced her respect towards humans/us, but now I want to tackle some of her other distracted behaviors and eventually, get to an off leash trust between me and her. I've only had her for 2 months, and I'm again excited to continue teaching her, because you have taught me. Again, thank you for explaining what most trainers neglect to.

Thanks for this….especially about trust…..I advocate for my dog, shoo off the ones that rush up, avoid the dog the owner won’t even call off because it’s ‘friendly’. I thought I was neurotic 😅, my dog doesn’t want to meet other dogs, it makes him nervous, he has fear based reactivity. He loves the time out on our walks, swims, whatever, doesn’t need any other company. You put into words what I can see I should do, but didn’t really process. Great tutorial!

Ive been a working dog handler/trainer for 16 years… pets are different… you got this for sure! Thank you for educating me.

All my dogs have listened to me . They understand every word and the tone of my voice

You’re killing it bro! Very informative and interesting 💪🏽💯

Something I do with my Lab that she loves- after dark I grab a handful of training treats and throw them one at a time in the grass for a “sniffari.” It’s a challenge for her and a great way to wind down the day~

I appreciate you. Thank you for explaining things in a language I understand. I hope people take the time to watch and like your videos.

Although I won't be taking this training right now (I just started another 8 week course that I am invested in, I have to say I'm really impressed with these videos. This has to be the dog trainer with the most sense I have ever encountered. Not only is he eloquent, charismatic, and an incredible public speaker, but he is obviously very knowledgable about dogs and training. I have been watching videos for the past few hours and have learned so much. I have read a lot of books and seen a lot of videos from different trainers, but none have made me understand training as much as this guy. I am sure the course must be great. Kind of wish had discovered him earlier.

As a multiple german shepperd owner I state that love is central. Love goes with warmth, hugs, playing, laughing. Then comes protection and food that you his master provide. Then comes obédience that goes with short firm punishments if the rules are not followed. No treats. My dogs know they have a super life with me, if they go by the rules. When they are about 1 yr old, they are guided missiles. They trust and love me and vice versa.

I have a timid 8 month old puppy and my trainer taught me what you say without giving me theory. I wasn’t sure why I am doing this and what outcome I expect on the road. With your video it all clicked!! I subscribed you of course and looking forward for a new video. Thank you so much!!

Jordan peterson for dog parents, "don't let your dog do anything will make you dislike them" 😁👏

I have a 5 month old female Belgian Malinois I got a month ago. I have been doing everything wrong. Chew toys everywhere. Food bowls always full. She is crate trained and is in her crate when we leave the house. She was raised by her mother for 4 months, and she is a GUARD DOG. This video is my starting over place. ThankQ for sharing this training for US!!!!

I took my pup to a trainer and he released all his adult German Shepards and dogs he was boarding while my 7 month old puppy had to fend for himself. We’ve found great and amazing trainers since then but I’ll never forget that 😣

You are killing it man! Amazing content, keep it up. Agreed with someone else on here, I think you’ll blow up on YT with such great practical and thoughtful advice

This makes sense. Ive been confused about the "best friend" idea for the dog. I been confused because I wouldn't want that kind of relationship with a best friend. So this is really helpful and very clear.

I have watched many hours of your videos over the past few days, have already seen a change in behavior in my unruly pup using your methods, and donated a bit your channel. Overall your content is top notch... with the exception of some parts of this video. Specifically about avoiding social interactions with people and other dogs. That is part of the joy of having a dog, and many dogs enjoy them tremendously when judiciously selected. My dog runs with great enthusiasm into the small dog park and spends the next 45 minutes running himself to exhaustion - chasing and being chased, tail and ears up, and great excitement in his eyes. And he absolutely loves interactions with some of our neighbors. One of my goals in curing his leash reactivity is not simply to make him indifferent to other dogs and people, but to be able to allow him to approach dogs of his choosing and interact with them. I want to follow your advice and reach him when it is OK to ebullient and when he needs to stick to me. That is part of him making good decisions.

You truly are the very best dog trainer on the internet. Possibly the planet. I can’t praise you enough. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with us.

This guy made me pick up my boy’s toys on the floor, literally. And it’s amazing! 😂

You are great, thank you 🙏 we’ve had a dog behaviorist and is in line with what you are saying but to have all this info for free its just amazing.If you ever decide to raise money for any dog shelters or other causes I will happily donate, in respect for your time and passion that you put into these videos.Thank you 🙏

EVERY new dog owner should see this. I am lucky to find this now, better sooner than later! We did all the things that he's telling people shouldn't do/allow and our dog is all the things he mentions as a consequence :D Really helps to understand dog psychology. Thanks a lot!

Another way to think about that “shut up” rule is they are English language learners. If you were learning a new language, you would want your teacher to speak slowly and clearly focusing on the *important* vocabulary. It’s hard to parse out babble from important words when you’re learning a new language. Of course I’ve been talking to my dog nonstop since I got her 😅 but since I used to be a language teacher this analogy has helped me put it into focus and I’m going to try to do better.

This is good content. However I disagree with the reactivity section. My adopted dog was (on leash) HIGHLY reactive to other dogs. To play. To desensitise her, we allowed her to meet other dogs. It worked and she is making great progress.

Finally! Thank you for articulating this so well. I feel like the few EFFECTIVE dog owners intrinsically know this but even fewer can explain these concepts to people who do not understand. Thank you for this video 🎉

Must watch video for all dog owners!!

this is the video ive always wanted to watch!!!! i'll be getting my first little dog in a year and ive always felt unsure about whether dog interactions at walks and parks will be appropriate for my dog cuz ive seen all sorts of things happen when bad interactions occur and then we get behavioral problems out of "nowhere"! but people wont stop talking about how important it is to let your dog greet stranger dogs and humans and go to parks to play with other dogs, yada yada.... but in reality, no! dogs don't need to interact with all sorts of people and dogs, as not everyone will treat the dog properly and the dog knows that! the same way you discourge your child from talking to strangers, cuz not everyone is to be trusted out there! now you've helped me realize that my dog will never need pointless stranger interactions, and i should never encourage it! got my solution, and it makes perfect sense! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

This is a bright young man. He is very good training k9s. If he could train other young people to be as thoughtful and competent as he is the world could be a better place. Thanks for your contribution.

I just found your channel and your info is really good. You get straight to the point and explain things very clearly, it's great! Keep on truckin' bro!

I LOVE your videos! Thank you for breaking things down and explaining them! Your channel is going to blow up!

I love how you explain all this!!! Breaks it down very well. Sooooo helpful!!!

You are so right about all this! Loved the way you explained everything.

Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I have a fear reactive dog to both people & dogs on a bad day, and this is the first trainer that has talked about my dog needing a neutral response to other people & dogs. Awesome. Thank you. Have subscribed & can’t wait for more!

Everything should be based off “love”. It’s hard for me to watch when trainers just write that off. When your dog has a genuine love for you everything else comes easy. To get this start by finding something you are both passionate about and do that together. Have fun with your dog, instill rules and get your dog addicted. Show the dog that you also genuinely like to play this game or do this thing. Later work the obedience into this activity and it will be the groundwork for everything the dog needs to know

Crazy good channel. I spend a ton of time watching dog training videos but these are among the most informative. These long form videos answer almost all my questions

Clear, well structured and everything makes sense. Big plus you give concrete examples and explain what to do for all you points. 👏

I love the way you explain everything! Amazing job!!!

this is by far one of the best and most coherent videos I've ever watched. bloody amazing!! love from London!!

Started listening to you a couple of days ago, already seeing so many things which I overlooked before. Thank you for sharing this info!

Best video I’ve ever watched on this topic, you just completely changed my mindset. Thank you

This guy is way beyound a lot of the other trainers that I have seen and heard, I think I am hooked on watching and listening to him, time will tell.

Thank you so much! This is the best video about this very important theme. So well explained!

Great advise! He’s already pretty well behaved because your Core training program. We’ll add more to building our relationship.

I love the way how you explain this all. Your the best trainer I ever see. Thank you so much❤

Amazing clarity and articulation. Thank you 🙏

love your videos! i appreciate the long form content you're releasing. audio is a bit low but content is great

You’re explanations have really helped me understand some concepts and industry “terms” that are thrown around a lot. Thank you! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your videos great advice. Please keep them coming really helpful 🐾

Thank you so much, what a great video! I’m starting your suggestions immediately!

I follow you on Instagram but so happy that you are doing yt now I had no idea you can explain things so clearly and concisely. Well done. I wish you a great future, you can tell this is your calling.

Fantastic ideas. Thank you!

You're so young and yet so experienced. I love your content! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world :)

Your teaching is impressive, I've never seen anything like it from other trainers here on KZfaq, you do it very well, congratulations! Thank you!

You are very informative. I rarely ever pull out my notes app with dog trainers, but you had tons of good info. Thank you!

Your video deserves a ❤! I appreciate your explanation of dog socialization.

Outstanding. Great teacher!

Excellent video! Extremely helpful and easy to understand. Thank you!

I've got no words, besides wow. What an amazing video. So much GOOD information, presented in a concise easy to understand way. Thank you so much!

I genuinely appreciate all your videos. They have been immensely helpful as I've struggled to communicate effectively with my puppy. Unfortunately, the pulling behavior of my dog exacerbated an existing wrist injury, and now I need surgery. Nevertheless, your content has given me hope. I've watched a tons of famous trainer videos, but you are the best.

Amazing Video! Really comprehensive and well put. Thanks a lot for putting this out for free 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

dude you are awesome.....ty....finally a young man that is caring and all encompassing teaching how to train a dog ( and kids).....strong intellegent leader you are...ty

Love your content and explanations. Keeping it real.

Great video from a great trainer! Thank you for this advice!

Thanks for this video makes so much sense

Bro, this is the best dog handling advice from anyone, and I have watched A LOT of dog videos on yt.

Wow. Great stuff. such kindness and respect for dogs this trainer has. I’ve spent my entire Sunday watching these videos one after the other. Cannot wait to implement with my two year old Ridgeback dog. (My friend did my dog’s two walks today as I’m unwell) I love the well recorded videos with real life demonstrations and with different dogs, and explaining the psychology. Makes so much sense.

Finally a trainer that really really helps you. Thanks so much. I'll go and train as you said. It's totally clear to me

Agree with many who already committed. Présentation is great, clear, structured, up to the point. Bravo and Thank you.

Great Advice....and great explanations!! Checking more of his program out....

Love the enthusiasm, great video man. You’re going places!

Great content! Good explanations with good examples, looking forward to see more! Thank you

You are a great trainer you make a lot of sense and easy to understand thank you

Excellent! You are a wonderful teacher, and it’s great to hear validation to some of the ways I have come to interact with my dogs. I have 2 Jack Russells, and people always ask how I can stand them bc of the reputation they have. We have a great relationship! Mutual respect and no nonsensical rules.

Subscribed! You explained what I knew but didn’t understand. The comprehension now you have explained it in a breakdown, simply and relatable is mind blowing. Thank you 🙏 Implemented the place/Crete with my youngest (as I didn’t think the same room was too much freedom) and the difference in one day is noticeable. Wishing you all the luck with your journey. I will be telling all to subscribe. ❤ Thank you 🙏

You're a phenomenal instructor, thank you for the valuable content.

Amazing video!!! Thank you Hamilton! You really explain this very well.

I love your approach and direct communication! Great explanations. This can go for human relationships also!
