I am also happy that Tom said "Everyone tries everything until they've done it right". A lot people have that attitude when it comes to working with their dogs, and it doesn't only to apply dog trainer. What a brilliant trainer!!

RUN THOSE LIKES UP NO BAD DOG ARMY! ❤️👍🏻

Just want to say thank you for being an advocate for the prong and E-collar! I have literally had clients break down into tears after using a prong and realizing that they can have a great relationship with their dog without getting dragged down the road, getting an arm broken when they get pulled down ect... They are amazing tools when used correctly and can save and change lives! So thank you for being such a great advocate for the usage of tools that work! Love watching your videos, you have helped me improve some of my own techniques and picking out body language as a trainer too, keep up the awesome work!

Obedience Dog trainer here, I love your videos! I see you as a mentor and love listening to your podcasts on hikes and walks! I have helped so many clients because of you! Educating me on the e-collar was by far a big step toward for my relationship with my dog. I feel like you’ve made me become more in touch with my dog and help me understand more of the anxiety side of things and why things happen. Being apart of the no bad dog army has changed my life! It’s nice to apart of a non toxic community and I appreciate you for making that happen. Keep doing your thing! Thanks again!

Man what a difference! Love the owners open mindedness about tools and corrections from you to her ❤️. Hardest part of training a dog is training the handler 🤣

I think your channel is one of fews that actually use the words 'accountability', which is SO IMPORTANT. And not even humans are aware of it. Just because you know something, doesn't mean you will always do it reliably. And being accountable for your failures and keep yourself on track is so definitely the main point in any training.

Your videos have literally taught me so much I used to also use harnesses never worked I started using the prong and slip leash definitely life changing love how educated your videos are

I just came from another video where it took five days for the owner to get their new shelter dog to wag their tail, under the shelter's trainer. In five minutes, I saw you read a similar dog, and take them gently to a happier state of mind. Wow, just wow! You're like with "one" with understanding dogs - a jedi master!

I always love seeing when a dog's confidence is boosted. That boosts the owners confidence and they both win. Thanks for changing so many relationships and as always showing how tools help with that communication.

Such a scared little thing nice to see you warm her playing ball and caring

Tom’s the 🐐, changed my dogs life.

it's so cool how you can help a dog that was going to be put down and turned their life around with love and compassion you rock so much dogs are very lucky to have someone like you that can help them and their owners in need and teach the owners how to do it the right way🐕

the tail wag at 11:45 KILLED ME :,) she seemed so shyly proud of herself. very cute

My dog is so very nervous and fearful, but it's totally random and getting more frequent. For over a year I've been trying to find the triggers but I haven't found a single consistency. Her basic obedience is pretty solid, but when she gets fearful she shuts down to the point where I don't think she even registers my voice or leash pressure. I adopted her as an adult and she wasn't socialized well or trained well with her previous family. She's extremely reactive after being attacked several times (she used to love other dogs). I have an appointment with a vet behaviorist tomorrow to try and help her. It breaks my heart to see her so scared when I can't figure out why. I hope we can figure something out for her.

That sad face broke my heart 💔! Tom's training gave this sad girl a chance for a HAPPY life 😊, and an ADVENTURE-FILLED one, too. For the owner, too! It's like he unlocked 🗝 the door, and let them out of jail 🕊.

Love watching your videos because in every one i learned something new

As I'm sure many people in the comments section have said, I thank you for showing us how to correctly use an ecollar, as it is a total game changer when used at the right moments and levels. In my journey training my fear reactive 9 month old cattle dog, I've found my voice, the ecollar, and a lot of good treats to be a complete game changer in taking a dog who spent many months barking at any new person or dog, desperately trying to get them to go away, and helping her become happy and confident enough to be touched by new people or sniffed at by other dogs.

I've learnt so much more from Tom in the last few months, than I have from any trainers or behaviourists that I've gone to, or trainers on RU-vid. The information he gives has changed the lives of my dogs as well as mine. I couldn't say thank you enough !!!

Just want to say I LOVE that yellow NBD hoodie!!!! Please add them to your merch! We'll done on this whole session!!!

I've heard so many people say you're a bad dog owner if you don't let your dog sniff everything on walks! Thank you for debunking that! Sometimes I just want to exercise my dog and myself!

11:44 gave me such a smile. Look at her tail go! Mollys owner and Tom were such champions for her confidence.

Tom Davis does it again. You seriously cannot get any more solid when it comes to dog training than this guy. Has totally changed the way I train dogs and my philosophy. Tools save lives- I firmly believe it.

Thank you so much you’ve taught me a lot. I would like to learn more about how you got into dog training

Working with Tom to learn how to build confidence with my fearful dog has been a game changer for both my dog and I! Structure and confidence has given him so much freedom and life! In our journey I've learned more about training and have been able to help other handlers, and educate on the amazing benefits and freedom that prongs and ecollars provide!!

I loved what you said about the harness.Everything is perception, gentle leaders, harnesses etc can do more damage than a correctly used prong or ecollar.

This RU-vid channel is the best and the only tips I use to help my German Shepherd. Thank you Tom!

Hey Tom! I have been training and handling dogs since I was in 5th grade and my mentor had a similar ideology to you with dog obedience! Using both positive reinforcement and positive punishment has allowed me to not only successful competing in dog shows but also establishing the best bond/relationships with my dogs! I have to say that it is refreshing to see that there are still trainers that utilize both positive reinforcement and positive punishment for obedience training. Nowadays the concept of fear free has overthrown the use of positive punishment with training and that is not realistic!!! As I head off to vet school this summer. I hope I will be also to use my experiences with dog obedience to assist clients once I am a veterinarian. Unfortunately dog behavior is not really taught in vet school and many pet owners who have behavioral concerns/questions tend to consult their vets first for assistance. I hope to be a vet that can provide both great medical service as well as realistic and useful behavioral service too :)

Tom’s videos are SO informative, accessible, and encouraging. I can’t stop watching and learning! Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and strategies!!

I love it, I have a neurotic sheltie that is scared of EVERYTHING. I have to work to even get her to come to me, even though she has never been abused. She is a wonderful pup, once I go to sleep or at least quit moving around she will lay and cuddle, and lives to groom me. But anyone else shows up at the house.... she hits light speed through the puppy door to the furthest corner of the yard.

I have had my dog for over 2 years now and she has been attacked at least 5 times by dog that have been off leash. My dog has been very fearful since, but when I started watching these videos and I have learned so much and now I'm using the prong collar or slip lead and it has changed my relationship with my dog and helped her so much with her reactivity and fear. My relationship with my dog has never been better. Thank you so much.

You have changed my dogs and my life!! The relationship we have now is amazing,, she used to be the dog in this video but with your help and some structure she is thriving!! Currently saving up for the e collar now🙌🙌

EC training has changed mine and my dogs life for the better! I rescued my Great Pyr mix at around 9mo old and was completely clueless to anything regarding fear aggression, resource guarding, proper leash walking, etc. I keep up with your tik tok and RU-vid but definitely get the most relatable info from the consultations you do on the podcasts (plus they’re easy to listen to on the way to work.) Thank you for consistently providing K9 perspective, endless outlets to reach more owners, and education on what are considered by some as “controversial training methods”. My dog and I have a better quality of life because of trainers like you. NBD !!!

This video was soo helpful for me! Our dog has had very very little social time because of Covid. We hot him in February of 2020. He is sooo afraid of loud things outside and retreats home immediately! I really pray this will help us.

Love how you are able to break that pup out of her shell ❤️

I have a pup who’s so anxious in a parking lot, he’s not engaged w me. Thank you for reminding me to bring the fun and joy help him lighten up!

It’s amazing to see such a big difference in a short amount of time!!! Congrats bro you really “speak dog’s language”!!!!!

It's so hard not to coddle and protect ur doggo when they seem fearful, but all its doing is reinforcing that they should be afraid. This was such a great education on how to work with a nervous dog My own dog doesn't do chill walks. We do either stop and sniffs or exercise walks lol we have to take stop and sniff breaks. I have to remember that dogs need breaks!

I look forward to watching the full content on the No Bad Dogs Official Club.

Another great video! Thanks to Molly and her handler for allowing us to benefit.

Your videos and training continue to teach me every day.

Really loved you explaining issues with the harness in this one

NO BAD DOGS! Tom Davis is a Legend !!!!! Thank you!!!

Molly is such a sweet girl 🥰🥰🥰. Good job Molly. Anxiety is tough!

The camera angles when you were explaining how the prong works is 🔥

The nervous Dog I got I did positive reinforcement. She’s is very wary of my lovely Hubby he’s never harmed her in any way. She has improved around him when I simple say ‘no’ when she runs away all skitty. I say yeh ☺️😆 when she moves toward him I give praise. It turned into a game she walks past him now & around him. We still got more work to do, but I believe she’s bright & will work it all out. Thanks for all your help.

I just recently saw your prong collar on a balloon video and it was a great example on how non abusive the prong collar is when used properly. Keep up the good work and NO BAD DOGS 4LIFE 🤘🤘🤘

Thanks Tom for the clarification between the top ring and dead ring on the prong collars. I got my 75lb husky/shepherd cross a Herm Sprenger prong collar a couple months back. As a small woman, I was having troubles controlling him when he would get excited on walks. He would always want to greet other people and dogs which is not always appropriate depending on the situation. My trainer told me to clip the leash to both rings, since my dog isn't aggressive. However, I've noticed that he often doesn't respond to corrections on the leash and now I know why. Thank you for this great educational video. I always learn so much.

Best teainer ever!! I have used all your tips on my reactive dog, and on us since we also have some fault, and we have improved sooo mich!!! She is now able to take full walks, and she even decides to greet people when she is more comfortable, is rare when she is reactive!!! We feel more relaxed now!!! Thanks!!!!!

Reminds me of my dog, only my dog is less fight and more flight. I've had her for 2 years and she will still inexplicably go hide under a table when nothing is happening and I'm there sitting silently on the couch. I'm upping the training after watching your videos, to try to instill a sense of routine and security in my leadership.

Great video as always! Thank you for all the work you do to help dogs and their owners!

You help so many owners and dogs. Much appreciation to you and for all you do.

Came here from tik Tok and your informational videos are very helpful with people who are afraid to use an e-collar on their dog. I believe they can be extremely useful as long as they are used properly!

You provide and give so much knowledge and direction.. how you keep the content fresh and not repetitive. Not just a different dog but different situations and customize your training techniques depending on the dog and owner and behavior that needs attention….you have without a doubt helped redefine the meaning and understanding of what is it to have a relationship with your dog A true legend and master of your craft Thank You !

Dave has changed my relationship with my dog, this channel is so informative and pushes you to want to do better. Thank you for the videos and all that you do !!

Great video always full of great information also love how Tom interacts with the person(s) and dog(s) always seems calm and respectful to everyone! Always a pleasure to watch!.

I love how open this own was with trying what was going to work for her and her dogs. Great video!

Love how you really go into detail explaining the different tools and why you use each. This video was so helpful too showing why building confidence and security in the relationship with the dog through obedience is key!

Love the videos, thanks for your time and guidance

I learn so much from these videos. Beautiful the way you can actually watch as Tom develops a bond with a dog within minutes, amazing. Going to join the members club.

Love your videos! So insightful and the way you explain things makes so much sense. Keep it up 👏🏼

Love how you explain with such detail, and how the different equipment works.

You have no idea how much of your vid change me and my dog life from across the globe . Thank you and thank you from my dogsss❤🧡

I love the way she lit up with the ball! Such a great video AS ALWAYS!

I love this so much! So glad you are here to teach us owners how to advocated and be what are dogs need to be to succeed and have a happy life!

Great techniques in dealing with fearful dogs!! For sure is life changing to ensure these dogs don’t live in fear forever.

About a year ago when my bro decided to get a sport/activity dog, that has very high level of energy, I was quite sceptical of our knowledge and skill about dogs, and he was only watching what this breed is capable of. I was kinda afraid that we aren't able to give the dog what it needs to be wealthy. So I stumbled on this channel. And a year later now we both learned leadership and how to act with a animal. I've learned sooo much, that I have the feeling that we took the dog from a trainer. I'm amazed and thankful for what you guys are doing, so keep improving cuz its totally worth the time and effort! Thanks!

Love seeing the different breeds! I’ve been wanting to up my game with an e-collar, these videos are so perfect for learning 🙏🏻

As always I find your videos so helpful. I always walk away with another layer of understanding about how to approach situations with the dogs in my life. I also want to say thank you for your continued advocacy on the use of tools. It truly helps turn the tide on the stigma associated with them! ❤️

Thank you for all you do for your advocacy for dogs and in the help you give to all of us.

Your videos just keep getting better! Thanks for uploading :)

Love what you’re doing! I love watching these dogs transform into amazing dogs!

Reminds me so much of my dog, thank you for this video! I'm always doing my best to take in your teachings so I can do better for my boy! I'm not just working to build more confidence in him, but in myself too!

I love how you explain everything in your videos. you pay attention to the little details which in turn leads to a better bigger picture. your work is amazing!!

Aww what an adorable little baby. Im glad she's getting excited about training.

I love how much you explain things to your clients!

Love the content! It's the best way for me to learn new methods to train my own dog while living a busy schedule.

Ahhhh! I love this video! You have given me so much confidence in working with my German shepherd! The impact of consistency is what gets me every time with your videos and I am so excited to keep learning!

This video is perfect timing for me! Just adopted a 10 month old German shepherd husky mix a couple days ago. She is afraid of everything outside. Thanks for the video!

Wanted to start training dogs as a career and your videos make me more and more fired up to do so. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and techniques

This video has so much info in it! My dog is fearful and nervous as well and this video has shown how I can help him. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your videos! They have helped me and my dog Jax so much!

This owner is Great! She got the right help

Man, before finding Tom's videos i was completely against ecollars but now i couldnt imagine life without one. Thank you for being such a good advocate for balanced training without shying away from using tools just cause some people dont fully understand their potential

You’ve helped me so much with training my puppy it’s crazy

You are amazing at what you can accomplish with a dog. I’ve learned so much and will continue to learn from you. Thank you!!!

Love learning new thing’s! Your videos has helped me have a better relationship with my dog , thanks Tom ❤️❤️

LOVE your videos!! Thank you so much for helping dogs and owners to have better lives together. I've been able to fix the few minor issues I've had with my lil dog by watching your videos.

Love watching your videos! Always very informative, helpful and inspiring!

Thank you for showing so many people that every dog has different needs and those needs can only be met by the right equipment. There’s no one size fits all for dogs which is why there is different equipment out there to fulfill all dogs!

Again, great, informative video. Thank you so much for all you’re doing. Your videos help us so much raising our puppy!

Relationship and trust between dog and handler is everything. Great job Tom. Thank you : )

Thank you for all these amazing videos! You are changing lives!

So cute when she was sitting on his lap at the end!! Both my rottie and mastiff do this

Excellent video as always! Even fearful timid dogs need structure. I just love how you break down explanations so that anyone can understand. Thank you for educating people all over the world! NO BAD DOG ARMY!!!

Every video we learn something new, love this channel and keep recommending to dog owners around me! Love this guy! I've learnt so much, thank you!!!

Thank u for being so generous with your expertise Tom, I can’t even tell you how many people I send your media profiles to. I feel super grateful to be such an informed pet parent and it’s thanks to you and videos like these that allow the no bad dogs army to not feel alone and hopeless in their struggles and keep going for our fur babies. And also just accept our animals for what they are, animals, and not push unrealistic expectations onto them!

Thank you for opening my mind to new methods and tools for training! Love that you are helping me evolve and improve as an animal behavior student and dog lover/owner.

I always learn more about being a better dog parent by watching your videos. I love how you break down the reason for behaviour and how to help the dog parent!

This video is so applicable for my dog! Fear and reactivity sums it up perfectly.
