This lady has convinced her self that she knows what she is doing is 100% right and is trying to convince the trainer I don’t need your help

Her saying mhm was driving me nuts

Poor lady is so high-strung; the dog seems really good but feeds off her demeanor.

His ability for communication to the handler is extraordinary. I do hope the lady was listening to him. 💖💖

Oh. My. Gosh. When the lady noticed her dog alert to the other dog, *-And then went WITH her dog to GO SEE-* made me sigh with so much exasperation. She feeds that dog's behavior in every way. Thank you so much Tom for your work 🙏

The dog looked at him the entire time he was handling her. It's so good!

It’s great that we got to see an owner learning and the owner allowed it to be shared. Making mistakes is how we learn, sometimes you just need the right person to show us what those are. Yes, she does seem a little defensive, but she got it in the end, it’s all a learning experience, just have to be open minded. She does practice calming herself to help her dog, she tries really hard, she is just a bit anxious….it takes all kinds and hours and hours of practice. When she gets confident in her handling I think she will get better and better.

Anytime I see someone overcorrecting their dog unintentionally I always tell them "Less pop and lock, more drop" and explain keeping their arm down and relaxed so that their dog isn't getting conditioned to always being under slight correction.

When I hear her insecure voice, I know what's going in the dog ... 😢 But then suddenly she grows with the dog! That must be satisfying job, to help and see people growing

Seek first to understand then be understood

Tom has plenty of patience!

That dog is so focused and working hard to do things right and earn praise. I hope her owner learns to see that and gain the handling skills Tom is teaching.

literally stopped the video halfway through and still gave my dog the best walk of our lives. this dudes amazing

the "dog melting" was an amazing moment, and very cinematically shot and edited. nice. I had to watch it again and again 🥰

Calm confidence. Tom has it. Dog mom doesn't. She is so tense and nervous the dog is on high alert with her. Hope she can put into practice what she was taught for her dog's sake. Great lesson.

Your dog is a mirror to your body language and your behavior. Not an exact image but a reflection 🪞. You get out what you put in

5:39 BOOM! 😂 Well done,Tom! You’re patience was astounding!

She is very argumentative with him.

That poor dog. You can see that he trusts you way more than her. If she over corrects that much just walking. Imagine what she does for everything else. 😢

Sometimes it feels like our trainer is training me because I am a very stiff/anxious person and it definitely impacts my dog. I always said he is insecure but my trainer immediately worked with me for my anxiety, dropping my arm, not being so stiff, etc.. It's been going great!! It's been making walks more enjoyable because I'm now consciously aware and not unconsciously stiff arming the entire walk!

Oh, my. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. The right knowledge, miraculous!

The owner is a bit defensive too which is keeping her from listening to what Tom is saying.

I'm forever amazed with your expertise and knowledge Tom Davis.

I love this one because your real challenge is with the owner and actually that's probably the case very often - Tom is sooo patient and has such clarity with both dog and human

Lol! I love the way you are with the dogs! They are so relaxed and it shows! Sometimes we as owners don't realize what we're doing wrong until we can actually watch these videos and relate to some of the things we do! You make it look so easy and I appreciate the content you put out❤

Being dog trainer isn't about fixing dogs, it's about fixing people and their style of communication with dog.❤

Such a good, sweet girl!! A lot of good info in this one. Good job, Tom!

Wonderful and clear! Love this dude

Literally love this,every moment. ❤

You can hear the nervousness in the woman's voice right at the beginning - why the dog is reactive. If she wants a calm dog, she needs to learn to become calm herself and assertive.

First thing i see the prong is too low on her neck. Second is her tugging leash constantly. Thats alot of confusion and frustration for both of them

Fantastic video, well produced and great teacher

Out of every video I’ve seen this one is the best because she knows it all and your handling it perfect. I would love to know how many times she says “Mhm” 😂

Hola me agrada tu canal y como trabajas con los peros y personas, me gustaría que tus videos estuvieran subtitulados el español para comprender todo el trabajo y análisis

I just.. these videos taught me so much.

This was a great demonstration. I can maintain this with my dog if we're going for a random walk, my dog also has great recall & is well trained off leach.. this all goes out the window if we are walking with ball thrower in hand. My dog will try lead me to any place she has been before, I'm guessing it's object related. Is the answer is walk around everywhere with the ballthrower to desensitise the object? Or is there something I am missing here 🤔

In a recent podcast Tom said when you are walking your dog, walk like you forgot your phone in Starbucks and you’re going back in to get it. I have found that comment very helpful. That’s what this video reminds me of!

Very well explained 👍👍

What an absolutely beautiful dog! Is she a Catahoula?? Reminds me of my previous 🥹

lol. Even when the dog is laying down shes reefing on the leash. Like dude. He’s explaining this and she pretends she knows what he’s saying. Wowsers my man you have the most patience ever.

Your patience is second to none, Tom. I would've told that lady to kick rocks after a few of those mmhmms that were demonstrating her ego and lack of the capability to accept that she is wrong and doesn't know what she's doing. I love dogs and want to train them but am not able to allow people to act this way in my presence. Glad you are able to help the dogs, in spite of the owners.

Solid tips Tom. Working with Samoyeds I find is quite different due to their nature and behaviour. Any experience/advice with Samoyeds at all? He knows the rules and super clever, but is repelling him with a prong for instance the only way to make him listen? How would that make them afraid to pass your foot if you then switched to a flat collar?

I have been using a slip lead and strugling. How do I know when it is time to try a prong? I had many Akita and they all used prong, extremley obediant. Now I have a Aussie. She insist on her head being 2feet in front of me and starts to pull. If I stop she will stop and sit at my side. I have bad arthritis in my hips and spine. The walk is great for both of us however, her pulling causes me pain. Any thoughts?

This dog looks like a mixture of a Great Dane and a Belgian Malinois. Perhaps there could just be German Shepherd in there but with that movement, I think Mally. I am sure you end up being a bit of a therapist sometimes for people. This owner seems like she is really struggling with PTSD or some anxiety disorder. The dog is more nervous because she's nervous and it's creating the issue. You can't train a human being out of having a mental illness that could have been triggered by something really bad. The dog and the owner are both nervous around one another. This kind of situation really breaks my heart. It's not anyones fault.

😮omg Tom is amazing 🫣

The owner's "uh huhs" were starting to drive me crazy because it almost seemed like they were dismissive sounds - like she was hearing what he said but not listening to what he said. Notice how well the dog did when he was handling vs. when she was handling - because he was calm and confident.

She's a great dog ❤

Thats very smart and nice dog ;)

You make it look so easy. I currently have a Shepard dog that will not stop trying to pull me like he is a husky. The only dog I have ever had this issue with. I have tried your techniques over and over. He has no interest in any treats whatsoever, I have used prong collar, flat collar, lead, harness, etc.

😢 I’m just like this lady, I’m so focused on my pup not being out in front even by a tiny bit. I mostly just stop or turn instead of popping the lead bcuz it’s too much. Pup always stops and sits when I stop but it’s so constant. New trainer started pup on a slip collar yesterday since we only ever had flat

Thank you. Will yoy still talk about introducing leash pressure to a puppy?

more burleigh content!

“I practice calmness in the house already, I know how to be calm” -someone walk in the door, dog reacts- “WHAT WAS THAT, what was it?!” -Tom take the leash, says someone just walked in- “oh, ok.” Where is the calmness from practicing. “Mhm, mhmm, mhm, mhm” Lady,, relax!

Are you using forward instead of heal?

Hey, how’s your new puppy? I thought you were going to do daily or weekly videos of him he must be almost grown up.

Right off the bat on her first lesson she's justifying why she was doing the thing he was trying to correct her on.

It looked like she was trying to show it’s not her it’s the dog. I think it was her. She was tense, especially when holding the leash. It’s like she has a tick in her arm. Correct, Correct, Correct. Poor doogy

Wow

Please help! I just got a believed to be German Shepherd (we're waiting on her DNA test) from the shelter 2 weeks ago and she's a mess out on the sidewalk when seeing other dogs, leash reactive to the max. I haven't been able to walk her far for a decent walk. We've been keeping it to just walk around the block for bathroom breaks. Her fixation on her surroundings is insane. I don't want to take her back to the shelter :( It appears she's had zero training and experience out in the world because she's really skittish and alert at all times. Stimuli like leaves, wind, car doors, people walking and dogs make her go nuts. Oh and anything that clings like keys and leash sounds make her alert too. There's some crying in the mix of her reactivity.......I'm overwhelmed with information and research I've done along with practicing ....

❤❤

The owner wants to over control and really needs to manage her vocalization with her dog. Less is really more. Dogs are very smart and direct. They pick up on commands when it’s clear and concise. Hopefully, she understands that and applies it. Most owners don’t keep up with the training that was provided for them and get frustrated that their dog just isn’t learning. The owner is 99% of the problem; they just don’t realize it until they are taught by a dog trainer.

I'm really glad that the collar was adjusted to the back of the ear, its very unhealthy for the dogs to have the collar at the lower part of the neck.

That's a nice dog. She is definitely picking up on the high-strung, very emotional owner.

Koehler method is the best

Yep, the training was for the lady, the dog is there already :)

Oh gosh thank you for sharing. I admit these videos makes me stressed, I am walking an almost 2 year old doggo that basically got no training, when he was a puppy he was "only to learn sit else he'd be confused". He listens to sit now and then, eats stuff from the ground and is reactive so I basically have to walk as an upside down exorcist to keep track of him and the environment. He has so much potential but being raised by hippies and now getting handled by me whom is a noob learning and still has little saying in how and what to do to help him makes me very sad. I have little respect for humans right now, especially people with "good dogs" forcing their dogs upon us when there is room just to trigger him. Also very little respect for his owners because they don't inform trainers how he has it at home. I can only learn things and hope doggo will adapt but consistency is not a thing in his household. Dear lord pray for us.

Poor dog .she needed to do a dog handling course before getting a dog.

Try taking the prong collar of see how you go so wrong

She has done a great job training this dog but I feel she is being controlling, even when the dog is doing good.

It doesn't matter what the dog is hearing woman, control the dog. Redirect

The respond to each Toms command from lady...Ok ok ok

Mhm

training people. communicating with dogs

That poor dog! So much unnecessary "correcting" .

I found it pretty funny when he kept saying "intentual" I'm pretty sure he meant "intentional"

Hmhum…ad nauseum

this owner has to have some of the worst control issues I’ve ever seen

She’s not listening…okay…hmhmm…blah blah blah…she is not receptive to trg…poor dog…yah..okay…

She’s there for training but still acts like she knows exactly what she’s doing, that must be so annoying as a trainer

This woman has poor listening/communication skills her constant interrupting makes it difficult to get a point across and makes her seem uninterested. She treats the dog the same way, constantly interrupting with corrections. If she fixes herself the dog will follow suit.

Crazy head 66

Why are we even using this collar 🥺😭?

Watching this lady is sooo cringe. Can someone train her to not interrupt when Tom is giving feedback with her “ok, ok!”

This chick’s mhmm is the most annoying thing. Every 6 seconds mhmm.

All of her "muhums" feel to me that she's not listening. Really annoying.

How would you walk and or use basic training commands in a hyper dog? My doberman will do commands in my house. Once outside I dont exist. When walking, she pulls, I started using a prong collar but now she whines and barks. Sounds like I'm killing her. Neighbors looking out their window. I run her but, 7 years now, she is still not leash trained because all she does is run.
