Guys this was literally my German Shephard before I started Tom's methods. Huge difference now.

Owner - “ I’ve been through four trainers” Tom- “ Hold my coffee “

I always admire owners that never give up🙌. Thank you as always for helping her. She is so happy when he looks at her 😄

The world needs lots more dog trainers like yourself!

As an Australian, having discovered these wonderful videos with Tom; I now ,when I think it`s required , tell total strangers with their `out of control`dog , to watch your videos. Some are very thankful and others get defensive. Just trying to make life with dogs so much more rewarding.

GSD’s are amazing dogs, but you really have to put in the work. They are strong, intense and intelligent. All awesome characteristics if they are working for you, but if they are working against you, it can be really difficult. I have a WGWL GSD and she taught me so much. She was a terror in her younger days 😵‍💫, but she is absolutely my best buddy and protector and I don’t think I’d ever be without one ♥️♥️♥️♥️ PS I highly recommend scent detection training, obedience training, or trick training with a working breed like this. It’s not usually physical energy they need to expend, but mental.

I had same experience with my shepherd before you tube. Went to the store and bought a prong collar just for the leverage on walks. Changed everything very quickly. Best decision I ever made. I don't have the pooch but I still have the prong collar 25 years later.

Tom is just soooo good with shepherds and working dogs in general!! Such a delight to watch!!

Having moments like these, are exactly why I'm a trainer. 🥲 when the owner has that lightbulb moment, and the dogs enthusiasm for their new learned structure sync up. It only gets better from there way to go Gunner. Way to go to his human too keep it up! 🥰 And way to go Tom. Outstanding content as usual 👏

I love the way Tom mimics what the dog is thinking. He is so clever.

“He looked at me, he never looks at me” that hit😭🙏🏽

Some people are quick to say a prong collar is mean or hurtful to the dog. The way i look at it is, normally, once dog has had a few corrections, or even less, they lean so the collar is just "insurance" at that point.In early 2000's, our 10 year old daughter could walk our male rottie anywhere with no issues. And he outweighed her by probably close to 50lbs. We see it like this, whats meaner, a prong collar that you might have to use in order to correct the dog and prevent something terrible from happening, or waiting till the unthinkable happens and he/she is now in a situation where he/she could possibly lose their life? Ill take the prong collar anytime. If used properly, its a very very valuable tool

Great video, thank you Tom! I'm 65 and a lightweight. I have a 80 lb male german shepherd rescue. I empathise with this lady. I too had given up walks as he was dragging me around and reactive to dogs and people. I was even pulled so badly one day that I ended up face down on the pavement. The UK is so anti prong collars and e collars it's scary how useful tools used in the right way are being taken away from us. My boy understands all the commands but just I have no control when he is out and about. I'm off to buy a prong collar now! Thanks

I love this training! My dog (and I) are SO much more confident. I watch these videos over and over and learn something every time.

Oh my God I adopted a German Shepherd named Gunner. He was extremely antisocial. I took him into the woods and released him. I then climbed up a tree and called his name. He went crazy looking for me. Now he sleeps on the floor next to my bed. I taught him American Sign Language and I use a dog whistle. He understands when I say Left, right, forward, stop, sit, heel and shield etc. Now he shields me automatically when people come close to me.

I love how sweet and clear you are with the prong.❤ Shows what they are supposed to be used for

This gsd is model material. Seriously, so beautiful. ♥

You sir are a miracle worker, a dog whisperer if you will! I love what you do!

Wish I could be like that with dogs, some people got the gift

I have a 3 year old full black Australian kelpie look so much like your Lakota. I’ve been doing so much work with him. I’ve had a set back my female kelpie was attacked by a Rottweiler and now he has become protective, but slowly he is getting better but I can have him around Rottweiler‘s except this female. He is my best friend and is so well behaved. My female kelpie actually goes into my mother work ( age care ) and hang out with the residence she is 14months and absolutely loves people. You have helped me so much with your videos thank you so much. 💜💜

Wow. How encouraging. Tom is bringing together dogs and parents in meaningful way.

I have DDR working line German Shepherd and I praise this owner for her ability to learn and adapt to her dog. She did wonderful! German Shepherds and especially working lines need so many extra commands to understand how to behave. They need to have a job to become balanced dogs. My puppy has taught me so much since I got her last summer. I have this channel and Beckmans channel to thank for the amazing pup that I have been able to raise!❤️ give your dog a job!! They will be happier in the long run.

Beautiful shepherd!

That dog is gorgeous just had to say it . And thanks for adding the break and that you actually have your dogs in front of you at a walk letting them be dogs. I’ve learned so much from you .

Understanding the building steps is definitely important but also the leadership skills and knowledge of the owner..you can teach an owner how to do it but the leadership skills, know how and the basic fundamentals of the dog’s known skills must also be there..a lot of owners with problems like this need to go back to square 1 and build from there !!

Absolutely amazing!!! Congratulations to Gunner and the owner. I always learn something new with every video posted! Because of these incredible videos it has helped our train our German Shepherd too!!

Totally agree ! 👍 I am a 65 yeard old man with nine pack dogs all breeds ages and sizes. About an hour I was walking one of thise dogs. She is a two yeard old kind of pink nose pitbulI (daughter of a street mother). I live in a México small town and the side walks eare very extremly thin so I have a dizzy and lost my step falling down to the street. I dont feel any pain but I was so confused cause I lost the leash but when I turn back around my eyes I saw her sit in the side walk with. Men it was a very beautiful moment for me. I learned a lot about engagement and confidence because of your vids wich I am so gratefull with you, your team and your comunity. Hugs from México 🙏🐾🫂

Owner ; you're my 4th trainer. Tom; Look no more

Tom can you watch Beckmans dog training response to Zak George it’s about e collars and prongs being banned and using only positive reinforcement is the new thing ? 🙄 I m really interested on your thoughts . I’ve seen so many Swiss whites re homed because of positive reinforcement training that doesn’t work! You and Cesar are my top trainers I respect. Cheers from down under 🇦🇺👍

I've been doing this and my GSD is now more engaged with me and he's calmer out on walks. Thank you so much!

I love your dog Lakota💖✨

This was a great session. The difference in the engagement of Gunner with his owner was such a lightbulb moment. I really like your idea of a tuneup at the beginning of a training session or even before going to the store or trail. Thanks, Tom! Once again, I’ve taken a few little bits of knowledge away that I either didn’t know, don’t practice or had forgotten. Can’t wait to join the NBD Army for even more content! What a great idea to offer to your followers. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful work here.

This is literally my dog. Name and everything, he's a 100 lb wrecking ball sometimes. This is such helpful information.

This video was made for us. Wish I would of seen this 5 years ago. Thank you so much for your work!

Terrific content as always! It was heartwarming to see when everything finally clicked with both the owner and Gunnar! They'll do great as their relationship strengthens!

I have been watching a lot of Toms older videos and it has been awesome to see the quality steadily improving! I think these new videos you took it up a notch again. awesome stuff!

What a beautiful dog. Totally agree about the "Break" command, though I use a different word. I also tell Zed "Working" when I expect her full attention. Another great video Tom, Thank you : )

Your videos keep getting better! You were always great but I don’t get bored watching your videos. Even when the training is redundant, it helps me really get it, it sticks in my brain better.

Tom I have to be honest ive missed the last 2 videos.. BUT I'm about to go and watch them I promise. Great video again very informative for everybody. Keep up the good work and the new Building is looking great cant wait to have a tour.

Thank you once again. Just love you. I appreciate so much your videos. It’s my day or week highlight when I’m able to watch of few videos from you. I just hope it continues for quite a while. Thank you from eastern Canada.

so amazing, another great video so easy everything if done by a real expert who makes the difficult look easy so touching how the doggo looked at you at your first 2-3 turns, perking up, wagging the tail

Another great video! Your advice and experience is invaluable. Gonna look into the membership subscription because I can't get enough:)

The prong is a wonderful tool. Like the new sign!

Sooo good !!! Mum and Gunner did great. Terrific work Tom as always !!

Amazing I'm watching and learning not easy but keeping faith to train my doggie my first big doggie very much a handful. He's mixed dashund and shepherd. What a combination.

This is a shiloh shepherd! We have one too and they are sooo much stronger than a regular shepherd, amazing dogs tho, love your videos Tom!

Damn. Every time I tune back in something in the shows visuals/audio or general production has improved! Mad props to you and your team for not staying stagnant!

Was super excited when one of our trainer at HellaK9s was wearing one of the NBD shirts! Awesome to see other people who enjoy your content

What a beautiful gsd, and obviously very intelligent too. One session and this guy and his owner are on the track to complete success. Tom, I never get tired of watching your videos. Your just the best I've ever seen.

One of the best videos I've ever seen for dog training. My German Shepherd reminds a lot the in the video. I can really relate and hopefully apply these teachings. Thanks Tom! Keep up this work.💪

Amazing work Tom! Also that beautiful shepherd 😍

Always great content! Using this with my GSD and seeing results. Thanks TD!

This video helped me with my dog and now i can bring her places without problem! Thank you.

What a beautiful dog! Well done Tom! Great and informative video! 💯

As always - awesome job, Tom! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I’ve been binge watching you’re videos and I love them!! You bringing out your dog reminded me that I wanted to ask if you had a video about how you trained your dog to bark on command and why you use commands in a different language sometimes? I know you didn’t que him in this video but it reminded me of it and I wanted to know how you taught them that and why.

Another great job Tom! And that's a beautiful Shepherd! ❤️

Tom thank you very much for all the wonderful knowledge you share with us we truly appreciate you

They did great. Beautiful gsd, seems a lovely dog. Like the point about consolidating the training at home and building on it, also when you walk your dogs, give them breaks, so people don’t think the goal is the dog is in training every second.

Best video yet! Keep it up Tom.

I've been waiting patiently for another awsome video!

Love this video and all of your videos - The best trainer I've seen on KZfaq - Having a large German Shepherd I use a Gentle Leader (scared to use Prong collar without professional help)

This advice worked wonders with my German Shepard husky mix ! Great vid love this guy haha

… Shepherds are wonderful. 😉 🤗 💕🌿✝️

I hope I am able to train my future GSD well! This video gives me hope!

Good job, Tom.

What a beautiful dog! ❤️

That is a gorgeous sable GSD.

Love your work Tom!

This one is great! I finally know what "heel" means... This lesson is in my to keep folder!!!

I love that dog! Amber does too! 🐕‍🦺❤️😎

As always a great video!

Beautiful dog!

What a gorgeous shepherd.

Beautiful sable

Heel was my magic!! Once I realized how important that was and got it on the ecollar things changed. Also I was just quicker on correcting with ecollar than with any collar

I adore this channel 💛

Wonderful video almost cried my doggie is dashund shepherd mix and can relate to the leash pulling my doggie has come along way thank to your great training videos. I'm still gonna have faith maybe one day tommy Davis can give me great training advice in person. It's definitely on my bucket list hurry down to San Antonio Texas of course

Just got a chance to sit down! Perfect timing👍

What a gorgeous dog!

Oh, intro on point!

… I am curious to know who bred this straight backed beautifully structured German Shepherd ? 🤔 🥰

Great video!!!

Video shot in the new facility 😍👌🙌

Thanks Tom

Early squad just joined the no bad dogs membership club ❤️❤️❤️

I’m just starting out watching your KZfaq I like it so far I have subscribed and I also have kind of listen to your podcast to could you make a full video on how to teach you talk to heal my dog is really struggling with that I haven’t found any good training videos yet

I like that prong collar.? For my dutch Shepherd .his same energy as that dog .. TOO..♥️👍🤩thank YOU Tom

Another fantastic job by Tom and handler 👍 and I just realized Lakota is dutch!! Poor camera angles had me thinking she was an all black for the longest time! I swear her and my black female are clones 😁

The owner is a good handler!

I have the same type of dog workingine gsd there great dogs but hard headed and stubborn but obedient when it comes to tricks and work

I think I'm the only guy that has a Shepherd with ADD ....still working on her.Great video!

Good afternoon Tom, another great video! Are you going to have a response to Zak George’s video on the new AVSAB research on using only positive dog training? Eliminating the use of prong, e-collars and any “adverse” training. I just watched Beckmanns Dog Training on this and he has some good points as well.

Hi Tom, I stumbled on your video and you are one of the passionate dog trainers out there, your videos have helped a lot. I have a Siberian Husky who is anxious at times. This will help me deal with his anxiety. Thank you, I even bought a 3.0 herms springer for him. Do you have any videos on how to use them properly?

love your dog training do you get sometimes weimeraners vizsla that pull a lot on the leash ? en can you make a video of it please thnx en keep doing the dog training

AWESOME!

If you haven’t can you please do a video on leash reactive dogs? My GSD, Zeus knows heel, he knows everything but he still can’t get over the leash frustration towards other dogs. I’ve done the turns and he heels but the second he sees anything it’s past his threshold

Your are truly phenomenal at what you do! You change people's lives and that Is something so special! Did you document your training with Dakota? My puppy is all black just like her! I have a 14 week black GSD and I've been binge watching your videos for tips to try and train him. Were not doing too bad. The only things are on walks he doesn't pull but tends to start walking In front after about 4 steps, I stop ask him to sit and start again and he does the same thing. I have him on a slip leash. The other thing is when myself, his dad and my daughters are playing in the garden he starts to mouth. He never puts any pressure down when doing it but I don't like it and I'll tell him off but then he does it again! Am I expecting too much too soon? I've had him since 8 weeks old but only been trying to train him for about 2 weeks and only had a slip leash for one week. Sorry for the long comment!🐕🐩🐶🦮🐕‍🦺💜

Great work Tom. Have you ever tried treadmills in training? What kind of experiences have you got?
