THIS is how to train your REACTIVE DOG!

Race is a smart, lovable Border Collie but because of his reactivity, his owner has not been able to walk him for years. Our goal was for her to be able to easily get and hold Race’s attention while on walks and in the presence of other dogs. Armed with the tools to recognize Race’s triggers and the skills to adapt, Race is now able to walk without reactivity.

“It’s not that the dog is really doing anything wrong, it’s just that they’ve never been told they can’t do it” is the ultimate owner’s take away from this training! LOVE IT ❤

I think the issue is her previous experience with professionals were that they didn’t explain why the rewards were used. Tom did an excellent job explaining what is needed and why it needs to be done.

I also think that they were just shoving food in the dog's face instead of waiting for her to disengage and check in with her owner. Shoving food in a dog's face that is anxious and barking tells them to keep doing it. Vs timing it with when they disengage tells the dog what the desired behavior is.

I have an Australian shepherd mix so I totally understand this lady. He’s a rescue and boy oh boy there’s a lot we need to work on. He’s an older guy about 6-7 yrs but I know there’s not an age limit for training. He’s a smart boy I can see he wants to learn. My objective is to get to the point where I can take him out on hikes and be able to not worry about his reactivity. Hes meant to be an outdoors dog and I wish to give him that life !! Wish me luck yall.

Thanks Tom for changing my life. I started watching your videos three years ago when I first got my GSD Floyd, I fell in love with your methods and the art of dog training. I now have a thriving part time business specialising in reactive and agressive dogs in Perth Western Australia. You’re not only changing dogs life’s but also giving their owners the opportunity to love walking their dogs again. Once again, Thankyou for literally changing my life, I hope to one day thank you in person. Adam, Freedomk9

We recently brought home a 1.5yo German Shepherd rescue. He was so good when we visited in the shelter but when we brought him home, he’s been so reactive to my husband and other males. Hoping these videos will help us with this situation. We want our home to be a safe place for him where he trusts both my husband and I and takes our lead when new people come to our acreage. Thanks for the videos and education! You’re helping us so much.

@pothszabina 10 ай бұрын

I'm glad you included play and little physical activity in the training, recommending draining some energy before even going out for a walk. This is what exactly my experience is with my border collie. If the dog is less stressed by lack of exercise, there is a higher possibility that the dog makes better decisions. And also she won't mind other dogs that much while she is playing with me.

@brehoutby3693 10 ай бұрын

What a brilliant session!!! I also have a border collie and I totally understand what the owner is going through 😀 BC’s are such amazing dogs and so so smart! I love how she works with her pup and rescued him. Tom you are awesome and explain things so well. I would love to see more videos on Border Collies. I know my bc thrives on obedience and I’m always looking to improve both of us.

I've been using your methods for my 3 year old foster Mal. Very much the same situation of not being well socialised due to Covid. Great dog, just frustrated that she's on the leash and redirects on me. Today, we had a super long walk in a very busy park that had multiple dogs. Only 1 reaction to a puppy that lunged at her, but other wise, nothing. One dog growled at her, we walked on with no hassle. Even passed an ACD at close quarters, close enough for their noses to touch. We walked on with no reaction. Your methods work and Bella had made a 180 in her leashed attitude.

Thank you for this video! I have a reactive dog, and it can be so difficult to empathize with your dog. I have learned that my dog is having a tough time, not giving me a tough time. We've been working on his reactivity for a year, but the toughest obstacle is that his reactivity is hairpin. So I never know when he will/won't. But I really love videos like this, because even something small, like putting the leash behind you can help a lot. That's going to be so helpful with my dog!

This is the most useful Tom Davis video I have ever watched. I have a reactive standard poodle. He is reactive around other dogs as well as noisy buses and trucks. It's been hell. My takeaways: from this video: The hand positioning during heel, i.e., holding the hand slightly behind you. How to engage your dog before the buildup and the activities between the heel and the sit. I stopped the video and tried the heel and it worked beautifully. I'm going to practice it a few more times inside, then do it during our walks.

My dogs aren't leash reactive but still "need work", and ALL of your videos have helped me build engagement with them, and reminded me that I was slacking on giving them a job and mental stimulation. Super appreciate filming you working with and correcting the owners too, it helps me remember how to hold myself, when to correct/reward, and also to use different levels of correction and tools depending on which dog I'm working with(11 yo heeler mix-my ride or die girl, 2.5 yo great Pyrenees-sweet and sensitive, and a ~3 yo German shepherd rescue/foster-loving, strong, and sensitive but also a complete block head at the same time) Thank you again guys!

Boy did I need this! Ran across it this morning. I have a border I took off a chain during hurricane Ian. Man are they smart and tall about energy. I've had shepherds my whole life. Borders are NOT the same at all. VERY protective of what they consider their herd and right now seems mamma is the only thing in his herd. That's not jealousy I see now, that's reactivity. So now the whole process changes when we're out because he WILL engage if another dog approaches his mamma, same with people approaching me. So now we're Donna switch things up. Good thing about this guy, he's SMART. 18 months old and still a little hard headed and he'll flip you off, but he's consistent . Never have to wonder IF he'll engage, that's a definite oh heck yeah he's gonna, he will not back down. Not we start redirecting and reengaging his smarts.

I also own a young border collie male (20 months) and I really worked hard with him the first 18 months and it did payed off. I can walk with him off leash basically anywhere and he would never leave my side, BUT he too shows reactivity on leash . He doesn't bark, but rather wines. I think it is frustration and I did work on giving him an alternative, i. e. food or a toy and it did work sometime, but I keep thinking when I will be able to walk by another dog without having to tell him not to fixate the other dog. They say it is in their blood, since border collies have that "eye" to fixate and move sheep around.

Well done, Tom. So good to teach that recognizing all the characteristics of that particular breed and working with them is easy to do. Too many Border Collies end up in rescue and this shows that older people can bring them home and they can improve their dog’s ‘home skills”. I think its important though to also stress that they need exercise and should run around and play.

One look by either of them and it's game on.I am using a loud corrector spray along with a citronella spray. Sometimes it will break them up, other times it will continue till one stops.

I cannot get my border collie to take food off me as soon as he thinks we’re leaving the house, never mind outside. How do I communicate he’s doing what I want? He only seems to pay attention to me if I have a toy (and it has to be the right toy) but even then he can get distracted. I feel rewarding him with play gets him over excited and increases the chance he’ll react to something.

It is wonderful when Tom is able to connect with the people... so that they "see" and "understand" what makes their dog trigger and/or react. Additionally, giving them tools to use to help their dog make better decisions, by learning to look to their human to know what they should do. Kudos to you and your team for helping to train the people to be better dog owners - knowing how to help their dogs be fantastic in out in public and at home.
