I HATE when the random neighbor lets their dog run out at you when walking with a reactive dog!!! So frustrating

Props to the camera girl doing what she could with the unleashed dog

Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ru-vid.comUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

When I first started to watch the video I just assumed that the owners had no idea what they were doing with a dog like that. I am so sorry for that assumption. They had him super well trained with his basic obedience. And she didn't even let him get ahead on the heel either. Major props to this couple for doing everything they could.

Anyone else interested in a "Where are they now?" in 3 months?

He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book ru-vid.comUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

Hearing about good intentioned owners putting all their trust into trainers and then finding out the trainers are just garbage and then their dog’s problems get WORSE is always heartbreaking. 😢 I’m glad they found a behavioral trainer that is actually knowledgeable and good hearted

What I love about these videos is how willing the owners are to be responsible for their own mistakes and how they can help the dog 💕

As a 20+ year trainer that had Real SA Boerboels for the same amount of time, this guy actually did really well working the Breed. The Only Problem here are the owners don't understand how to work this breed. Good job bro

I love the new editing, it's more documentary-like and feels more personal to you.

The part where he explains that her behavior is signalling "I'm nervous, protect me" is a critical point. She unintentionally transmits a signal to the dog that it's go time, and his DNA kicks in. I'm happy they found a good trainer, and l wish them all the success with their boy.

This one got me so emotional. Thank god for the owners to get Tom out there. They truly love their dog. Cooper now will have a longer life because of them being responsible dog owners.

having been a dog trainer for the past 43 + years, and specializing in helping last chance dogs for the last 17 years, I can say, "GOOD JOB"

My god those owners who let their dog come right up to him...unbelievable. People like that shouldn’t be allowed to own dogs that could have ended so badly if you weren’t there

21:37 the "cooper goes on a walk with ..." montage had me smiling in front of my pc. what a lovely dog, what lovely people, what an awesome experience for everyone involved and what an amazing video. Thanks Tom and team!

I LOVE that Tom is ADDITIONALLY teaching a kid how to meet a dog! Absolutely wondering work you're doing Tom. Great job!

The amount of people that leave their dogs with no leash is too damn high. Amazing episode. If you're Cooper owners, well done guys. Thanks for not quitting on Coop. Such a beautiful dog. What a wholesome episode!

This dog is surprisingly well trained even with his high reactiveness

Exellent. Be in tune with your animal. So many people don't understand that their behavior is what is giving their dogs cues. Owner thinking: There's another dog, I'm scared. Cooper: Don't worry I'll protect you. Later this becomes: "My human needs other dogs to stay away." That in itself is training, but it's the wrong training done unconsciously by the owner. Good call.

The amount of self awareness, wisdom, empathy, and courage that emits off this young man is astonishing

Can we take a moment to appreciate the filming and editing quality of this training video?! 💯

She was way more polite to the loose dog owners than I would be 😆

My dog, Waker, is JUST like this!! He’s 9 and has just been diagnosed with cancer. I wish I trained him earlier but I’m definitely going to now! We have a “bucket list” for him and I want him to be able to go out and do things during his last months with me ❤️🙏 THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CRAFT!!!

Owner's response - Cooper is our sweet Boerboel who developed reactive behavior towards people and dogs. We made the mistake of choosing bad trainers. We were feeling confused about the various training advise with no improvement. We discovered Tom Davis’s Upstate Canine Academy and arranged an out of state visit. We were impressed with the individual evaluation and plan developed for us and Cooper. Based on our skill set and Cooper’s response, the plan was adjusted verses just being told the standard instructions. In addition, we greatly appreciated how Tom simplified the training and communication with Cooper, the last trainer taught a more complex military style which was counterproductive. Tom’s knowledge about the equipment, e-collar and prong collar is impressive and very helpful. Tom took the time to explain why Cooper was reacting the way he was. He also explained how Cooper perceives the world, and example is putting Cooper in a down position with people are around him, this puts Cooper in a vulnerable position. Lastly, Tom was honest about Cooper and our limitations, that’s the only thing that doesn’t really come across in the video. We adjusted our goals with Cooper he is much more relaxed overall. He is playing, loving, and interacting with our new English Lab puppy. We recommend using Upstate canine Academy for all your training needs and GREATLY THANK Tom for his help. -

Also, Kudos to Cooper's owners for putting in the hard work! He's a good boy and they're going to have a great life together!

Omg when he walked past the stroller family with no problems I cried, this is amazing! Good job buddy! 😭💙😭

I just found this video and it literally has me crying. I have been struggling with my ACD since she was a puppy. Almost exactly the same issues as Cooper. This gave me a lot of missing pieces and more importantly hope that i can help her through her reactivity. Thank you Tom!

Boerbols are not for the average dog owner. They take a strong, confident person committed to training. Do your research before you purchase any breed.

This is such a good training video in so many ways. I enjoy hearing your positive tone of voice and calm approach, and I love the balance of discipline and positivity. Wishing you ongoing success with all the dogs and owners you help. All the best from 🇬🇧

You can see how much he had changed right before the "final day" portion. He was enjoying being around people and you could see it. Nice work!!

I have a 125lb dog we are his fourth home. I can’t let my grandkids visit at all. As soon as this two year old dog felt comfortable in our home, he decided he needed to protect us from everyone. I’m glad to see this video, he’s never off our property, but looks like getting him off the property may help. I’ll try anything. Thank you for the help.

“Heel!” Dog: “Where are those mother f’ers” 😂

16:26 when you were fake walking and he just put himself into a heel. That’s a good dog, that was precious.

This was great, that place looks like an awesome place to live!

I have a dog and situation very similar to this. I just got back from my bad walk with my dog and was trying to figure out why when I came across the video and you touched on some fantastic points making me realize how I could have helped him and what I could have done better.

I adore this breed! Got one in Africa for protection and he saved our lives literally on 2 occasions. Never needed a second of training. Fantastic family dog and incredibly instinctively protective. I'm happy this couple stuck with him out of his element.

Boerbuls were originally bred in Southern Africa (from English mastiffs) to provide protection to farmers from lions. Living in SA they are well known for particularly protecting children and being intensely loyal/protective to 'their family'. Commonly weighing 90kg (200lbs) or more, they are popular home protection pets. They are also very affectionate, and think they are lap dogs! This is a beautiful example of how to deal with them.👍👍👍

So sad and infuriating to hear about the horrific boot camps and trainers he's had previously!

Tom, can I just say; you are absolutely BRILLIANT! We need more people like you to help dog owners and their dogs not be "prisoners" in their yard for fear of their dog being reactive. Keep your vids coming - they're invaluable. x

Copper absolutely needed soft caring training, especially after what he’s been through!! And he shines like a rockstar! Obviously he learned as well he’s met many new friends that understand! Humans need trained by animals honestly.

"where are those motherfers" had me cracking up. This guy is great and the owners are fantastic owners. Dogs can feel when you tense up and then will react like ok what's up and go into a protective mode.

I always said, If you allow your dog to run after other dogs, offleash, do not get upset when your dog gets bit. Always, always have your dog on a leash, until it's safe to let them interact

i’m so happy that there’s people out there that UNDERSTAND and take the time to really tackle the issue instead of euthanising them. this dog is so beautiful but the issue is insecurity and improper training. keep up the good work!

This is honestly incredible. I don't have a reactive dog, but I can see how easy it would be to create a reactive dog by accident. I love watching these videos, keep em coming!

Anyone else love how he's always holding coffee?

I don’t even have a dog just a cat but I’ve probably watched 10 of these videos so far. Even for a non dog owner this is fascinating!

She's a great owner mom for this dog, I'm happy she found a wonderful trainer after the bad ones. 😊

This is not a dog for old persons.It demands energy and exercises.

30 years of dog training...99% of the time its the owner. They stress that travels down the leash, therefore your dog stresses. Almost always the handler. Good stuff brother. New subscriber.

Protective instinct is so strong in these dogs, one really needs to be confident to have one. He's a typical boerboel and there's absolute nothing wrong with him. Issue is the clueless owners didn't know what they're getting and how to handle him. Seems they wanted a boerboel to be a labradoodle or golden. Respect to them for not giving up though and hope they learn how to handle him over the next year or two, 'cos he's looks like a real specimen...beautiful dog.

Seeing the progress everyone made gave me a big happy feeling! I have cats but I learn a lot from these videos. I just found your channel today & learning more helps prepare me for when my husband eventually gets that dog he’s always wanted. I’m the one that’s gonna deal with it mostly. Lol

BIGGEST ALABAI WORLDWIDE: ru-vid.com/group/PLKXh1IC4HVa0A0mwxP6EEW_chAvOPQTsL

Tom is one of the best trainers I've ever seen. He is so realistic but positive at the same time.

3:10 I admire his ability to manage their expectations in such a realistic and straightforward approach.

My family fostered dogs who didn't qualify for adoption due to aggressive behaviors and honestly there was never a dog we couldn't make progress with over time with consistency. Dogs want so badly to be good and be praised and loved. Solid training with consistency and can help any dog, and they deserve to live and be happy. Thank you for always expressing so much compassion, that is something severely missing from so many conversations about animals with aggressive behaviors.

I like his approach. Not telling the owner how rubbish they r. Very relatable n easy. Real good job

My heart is melting. What a beautiful dog. Way to go parents. It’s not easy, but practice is everything!!! Wtg ❤️❤️❤️

It's almost always the owners who need the training not the dogs. Dogs just feed off of their owner's energy and character or lack of leadership.

Out of all the dog trainers on RU-vid this guy really does love an care for the dog one of the only ones that actually care an show the owners how the to manage an control the dog

All those explanations were very helpful for me as well, thanks!👍🏻

Her panicking when a dog comes up was a huge problem. Dogs sense that and react.

This is great information. I just got an 11-month-old Boerboel that weighs 150 pounds and has minor behavior issues (I've had him for less than a week). I believe this video will help tremendously. He already knows commands. He's very stubborn at times, but reacts great with treats. I will implement what I've learned during this video in our training. Thanks for the video, and you have earned yourself a new follower. 👍🏽👍🏽

Poor dog just didn't know how to behave, just trying to do his best... So nice to see he has such good owners that they seek help and finally looks like they really got the best help they could get. I really love to see the approach of the trainer. Very good work all of you!! Love from Nederland.

What a superb video!! So glad these good people found you! Many kudos to them for hanging in there for their wonderful dog!!

These videos are getting better and better! The longer format helps really identify with the emotions and results of Tom's powerful training. I get teary-eyed when you see and feel the relief of the owners that these situations are fixable!

I’m so excited to watch this video! Tonka isn’t aggressive but he’s super reactive to everyone and everything! He screams and pulls like a mad man!

I’m always so impressed by how Tom reads dogs!!

This is my first video from your channel and I love how it just seems like a professional TV show! Everything you do is so amazing and can really help people feel safer around their dogs.

"That if you want to be friends with a dog who doesn’t want to be friends with you, is you ignore them. You just have to play to it as cool as you can and act like ‘hey it’s no big deal’." THIS! Let's just be chill when we meet new dogs 🐾 please!

Tom, my man… this new editing style and B-Roll stuff is EVERYTHING. I’m so glad you’re out here killing the dog training game, you’ve changed so many peoples lives with videos alone, you’re just an incredible guy. Thanks for all you do for us dog lovers!

I have a bullmastif rescue who was EXACTLY the same as this dog , after 18 months of solid training she is the best dog EVER !!! it's all about confidence with her ..

This is by far the best training video out here! I have to say all my years of owning dogs and your training has engaged me to do this and very patient and on the spot traing ever, and its true with the owners and this is what Kaycee-girl was doing with us is protecting us from all dogs and was acting aggressive but never bit once reached or better yet off her lease in her yard and I became afraid of all dogs ready to attack and she was picking up on my energy, No Bad Dog Army you guys rock! Thank you for this reminder of the energy we put out there and how receptive our dogs are to it! She is getting this training and it's a beautiful thing! Thank you, Brenda & Kaycee-girl

Tom is my hero 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I know the owners’ feelings all too well. There are so many ups and downs to the journey, but these dogs are worth all of our time, love, and patience. #nobaddogs

You’ve made me hopeful that my dog can be the best dog ever. I’ve implemented so many of your techniques in our training routine and he’s doing so well!

beautiful transformation beautiful work and understanding of the dog. wow.

Love it! I love that she share all the steps of working him through it. Helps so much!

Love the dog dad at the end "now let's go catch some fish" 🤣 cooper is such a beautiful boy and I'm so happy you were able to save him ❤️

That was amazing how you dropped the treat and said leave it and he did. That’s really tough to get a dog to do. I know he’s gonna be just fine, seems like the owners where just saying the wrong words and reacting scared to every encounter. He’s there protector so he sensed that

This is an incredible display of high level behavior modification!! Thank you Tom Davis for showing your magic to all those who have a powerful dog to train.

I loved this video. The trainer was FANTASTIC

Loved this episode. Big fan of big dogs and hate to see when “trainers” and boot camps do more damage than good. Would never send my dogs to someone to be “trained” as training involves the humans almost more than the canines. It’s basically learning to communicate with your animal. Was cheering by the end of the show- great job and great job explaining to the humans what Cooper was reacting to and what he needed. So many dogs get labeled as problem dogs when they are only doing what the owners unknowingly are miscommunications to them.

i got so frustrated when the neighbors dog or whatever were offleash and running towards cooper and they didnt even do a damn thing about it. she said “please get your dog” way too many times for them to not do shit.

You can tell these owners really did their research and tried their best. The dog has the foundations of being a really good boy.

I love these owners. They tried so hard to help their dog. I wish they had better luck in the past

What you experienced with those dogs coming out of that property, is literally what I go through on almost every single training walk with my two shepherd-X's. People here don't pay one bit of attention to on-leash laws, which makes behavior modification really tough. I can't safely walk them in any public space.

I like how you took Cooper and the owners to a busy feed store and let him experience distractions and socialize too by just hanging outside. I enjoyed watching this video. I definitely subscribed!

This was...EVERYTHING! Probably the best video I've seen on how to focus on relationship FIRST, teach owner/handlers what they're contributing to the situation, and then teach them simple and easily repeated ways to create structure and clarity, using the right tools at the right setting for the dog. Bravo, @tomdavis! Superb video.

I love how confident you are, no matter what breed of dogs you have to train !

As a dog owner who has a pup that reacts the exact same way, this video was refreshing to see that change is possible. Thank you! Also, I love that this video is longer than normal.

Thank you. I will keep re watching this till I get it. I understand now. It’s me who is reacting. Before my shepherd reacts. Bracing myself for the worst.

I'm so sorry him and your family went through that! As a studying dog trainer I promise and advocate positive reinforcement training!

My heart broke hearing how other trainers treated him

To many people are buying dogs for their "looks" most people have no business with dogs like Presas or Boerbols

Boerbols, the most majestic of all mastiffs 😍😍😍 Felt so bad for the Boerbol and the owners experience with camps and other trainers but clearly this couple did not understand the breed they purchased.

This video gave me a huge sense of relief. My dog isn’t aggressive but is very reactive and very protective of us. I’ve been having trouble figuring out how to keep him still alert but calm around others

I had a Doberman that was aggressive by preference towards other dogs and cats . He did not care for small dogs even if they were trying to bite him , had no issues with female dogs . The problem was the aggression towards stray cats and big breed males

I've recommended your channel to a lot of Pet owners that I know have dogs with behavioral issues. Those pet owners never trained & socialized their puppies & always kept them chained into a corner. Some of them at least admitted their mistakes & are now seeking expert help

I hope she has thought ahead and has a good liability insurance policy!

The light comes on when you understand the problem.
