Totally agree!

I have encountered dogs like this and found the face to face is the reason for the fight. I just turn away and walk they have no one to blame so they start following and the fight is over as soon as they stop fighting an start to enjoy the walk then I face them and reward their compliance to what we humans want. In case you are wondering I was a trainer/behaviorist for 40 years. I am old and disabled from a car accident and can't walk any more. But the knowledge is still there.

@@LAStars-sratS It does take more then just turning your back to get the dogs attention you must wait until the dog is distracted then and turn in the opposite direction so the dog gets a quick snap from a training collar. if you do the snap correction every time the dog is distracted it will soon choose to watch you so he does not get caught off guard. I was a trainer, handler for decades this always works. You just have to be smarter than the dog as well as persistent. Of course if you want your dog to be the leader that is your choice. As for those who want a link, do the research someone out there will have a way to train but be warned they are all looking for a payday.

It reminds me of halterbreaking horses. The first time they feel pressure on their head they go against it. Some panick cause they feel like they have no control over the situation. The first thing you gotta do is let them know they do have control, and can make it stop, by rewarding them with release the second they give to that pressure.

I must admit that I’m a believer in correction collars now. It’s all in the intention of the trainer. They really are a fast means of communication and I would not be able to walk my gsd. I’m confident now with these videos I’ll be off leash in the future. My puppy is just a couple months and already knows “heel” beautifully after watching this guy.

And as soon as he stepped out I asked him to sit or down, no bolting, it took hundreds of times of starting over. I just did not quit and he realized my will was stronger than his. I haven’t seen a freak out like this dog in a very long time, amazing transformation in really a short amount of time with you. Great job!

I have fostered a lot of puppies (8wks old) and she looks like one of those puppies that have had the leash put on them for the first time (they usually freak out). The owner must have been too scared to start training the puppy on the leash from day 1 and just left him free roaming because he wasn't responding to positive only training. This is an example where you need to gently, but firmly, get the puppy or dog to push through something they might not like so they will have success in the future.

Mine does that when I practice with her without her regular chain leash. She thinks any piece of cloth on a leash is a tug chew toy.. Working slowly to build up so we can use the slip lead, a normal leash and a prong if needed for corrections. I went through trainers who misused those tools so now that I've seen trainers online using them properly, I'm more comfortable with trying them again. I appreciate how you stepped down to the tools the dog was most comfortable with. I had to do that with my dog.

I need someone like this, every time I do something right, he tells me 'Good man, Good job buddy!' 🤣

This was exactly how my Boxer pup behaved on any leash as well... Patience, consistency, repeat! Know your dog!

My Working Collie was like this . It is so important to work through these things and often the answer can be an odd one. My Collie is brilliant now but it takes a lot of time and experience. This dog is leg and paw sensitive and feels afraid when the lead is wrapped round his legs. My dog would fight without pause over claw clippers so I taught her to endure sand paper with no problems.

This video was a perfect demonstration of what I like most about your style of training- you know what you want the dog to do and when he didn't respond, you dialed back your request a little bit or you offered another choice to set the dog up to succeed and learn. Then you built back toward the goal a little bit more. Each time honoring the communication the dog was sending you without giving up on his success. Yay you!!

I mean, I don't want to be judgemental, but obviously this is not a good dog for older people who have no intention of putting the work in shaping it and giving it what it needs, especially when it's a puppy. I think it would be much more beneficial for everyone if people who just want a pet dog would go to the closest shelter and get an older dog instead. Thank you for amazing content Tom!

Lol if they did not want to put in the effort, why do you think they are at a trainer. Seems to me like they are already putting the effort in. Btw my border collie is just as stubborn with a leash and all my other dogs a leash trained but he is super stubborn.

This video displays my 5 1/2 month old Aussie's behavior to a tee. I owned 2 Aussies 20 years ago and, using a book that I bought in (displaying my age) a Barnes and Nobles, I was able to train them. They were intelligent, athletic, obedient boys who were smarter than I was and knew what I wanted them to do before I did. I'm not mentioning this to boast, but to support frustrated owners like the ones in this video. Just because their pup is so reactive does not automatically mean that they have been neglectful in their attempts to train him. I have done my due diligence from the day I picked up my Aussie from the breeder but he has been reactive, pulling on the leash, lunging at other dogs, etc. whenever we go on walks. All dogs are different and he is 180 degrees different from my 2 previous Aussies. He does know sit, down and stay, but he is a true handful, even for someone who is not a novice and who watched about 60 different training videos before I picked him up. The major change in walking him occurred today when I followed Tom's advise and bought a Sprenger prong collar. It has been a night and day difference after about 30 minutes of my Aussie reacting like the pup in this video. I had previously taken him to a dog behaviorist who only used positive reinforcement. I now firmly believe experts like Tom who advise that positive-only reinforcement does not work for all dogs. I was extremely hesitant to use the prong collar due to all the negative opinions by other trainers, but after thoroughly researching the tool, I opted to follow the advice of conscientious, experienced professionals like Tom Davis and Will Atherton. Even though it's only been one day, I am convinced I made the correct decision for my pup, who is curled near my feet taking a nap after another great, peaceful walk around our dog-dense, baby stroller-everywhere neighborhood.

It disappoints me when owners don't do a bit of homework and educate themselves about the dog breed before getting the dog. This is an Australian working dog breed that spends the majority of its day helping the farmer round up sheep and or cattle that is what this breed of dog is bred for. It's in the dog's genetics.

@@lauren8627 it's insane Lauren because the dog wants to round up sheep not be a couch potato. People who own working dogs as family pets only, are doing their dog disservice in my opinion. As an Aussie I have seen first hand the true potential of a working dog several times in the last few years on a friends farm. If these dogs had a choice of rounding up sheep each day or being a domestic pet in someone's back yard they would choose rounding up the sheep everytime. It's in the dogs genetics. It would be like someone living in the desert owning a husky. Just because they could doesn't mean they should. Huskys love the cold and love to run. Working dogs are bred to work not be a domestic pet only and require vasts amounts of daily exercise. This is why a lot of owners have behavioural issues with their dogs because they dont exercise their dogs enough. We use different training methods in Australia due to prong collars and shock collars being illegal in Australia and deemed inhumane both by the animal welfare league and the RSPCA. But despite this we still manage to train our dogs. IF you get the chance, lookup on KZread Australian working dogs and sit back and watch in amazement as these dogs, your dog breed goes to work and does the job they where bred for.

And I thought our Aussie was a handful. 😀 You hit the nail on the head with your descriptions of this breed. I love our girl dearly but won't get another Aussie because as I'm getting older, I know I won't be able to exercise another like they need to be exercised. I'm glad you mentioned the martingale collar in this video. We just had a nutritional analysis done on our girl (the kind where they analyze their hair to determine toxicities and deficiencies). Our girl had very high chromium levels. The Herme Sprenger prong collar (that I LOVE) is plated with chromium and I'm afraid that's her exposure. I'm going to look into the martingale collars now.

Lupine makes some great martingales, leashes, basic harnesses and other gear. For a reasonable price and great quality, many colors and patterns and choices, and the UNBEATABLE return policy unlike any other; after the initial purchase of the item, if it is in any way damaged or chewed up or anything else, they will replace it free of charge, EVERY TIME. My dogs have always worn martingales as their "regular collars". They have the regular hook that isn't using the pinch part and also the martingale hook. Definitely something to look into. Also Halti's aren't a bad way to go if you need a little something extra and you think your pup is likely to choke themself out. Not sure how old she is, it would be harder to get an older dog used to this if they haven't had one before. Also my no-pull harness works wonders with the front clip however I cannot use it walking in public only because of my Shepherd's fear aggression but it works with my lazy Golden and does keep my Shepherd from pulling. She works so well with these "devices" that she will no longer pull if I do take her out on leash. Sometimes I really think she forgets the Halti isn't on her head. Lol

Diet was our first line of thought since we didn't believe she had much of an environmental exposure (we don't live near industrial areas; stainless steel manufacturing, leather tanneries, textile manufacturing, or wood preservation facilities). We prepare her food and rotate her through six different proteins that I source from a variety of places. So it's not as likely that it's an issue of her only eating, say, chicken that is high in chromium. She/we also drink water that's filtered with a ProPure system. Per 3rd party lab test results the ProPure system filters 98.7% of chromium (3+ and 6+) from water. According to the CDC chromium, especially hexavalent chromium, can be absorbed through skin contact with chromium and chromium compounds. "Data from volunteers and indirect evidence from occupational studies indicate that absorption of Cr(VI) compounds can occur through intact skin." page 17 of ---> www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/chromium/docs/chromium.pdf Chromium (III) is poorly absorbed through dermal exposure but not chromium (VI).

Good job, Tom. He was a tough one.

Your videos has helped me a lot. The dog reminds me of my own dog. 8 years old male, unknown breed. Very fearful and anxious with no structure and rules. This is for sure our fault as we have no clue what to do before. He hates collar+leash, and would bite if we want to put it to him. I asked a professional help and he was put in a rehab center for 6 months. He made a lot of progress after but agression towards leash+collar could not be resolved yet. He is home now and it is time for us to train ourselves and with him since the issue is at home. Currently I am using slip collar to walk with him and we have made a lot of progress with walking, he no longer pull/tug the leash and could walk calmly w me. But there are still other behaviour problems that we need to address one by one. Agression towards collar + leash, for one - as in he will bite if we put a collar+leash to him - is still an issue. If you have any advice or tips, please do share. Would appreciate it a lot!

It took a long time to teach my Heeler how to walk on a leash. He still has dog agression on leash but we're working on it.

Hello, I have a tip. Do not reward bad behavior turn and walk away so your dog loses his/her object of attention. then if calm try going back if clear there is still aggravation turn again and go farther in the opposite direction. When you can calmly pass its time for celebration and reward.

At this point, we mostly avoid other dogs, even if I have to take him totally off path. He becomes so wound up and reactionary that he has bit me in his frenzy. He has some serious fear issues as well. Off leash though, totally different dog.

What did you do? My Maltese is having trouble walking on the leash next to me.

Great job

Severe case of "I don't give a sh*t"... 😂 That sums it up! I have 3 border collies, so it's really helpful to see you work with herding breeds.

Awesome!

I think its all about patience I have a 9 month old GSD puppy I have trained him in just about everything but he still pulls like a tank I have had him on a prong collar for about 3 months now and although its good he still pulls through it. He is super hyper and nothing seems to tire him out. I have tried the new K9 harness but it has no effect so I am afraid its got be back on the prong until he slows down.

You are great!!!!!

Oh my gosh this watching this makes me feel like me feel a little better. I have a 6month old Great Dane and he does this on a leash and also jumps on us. I need all the help!

He has high stress pour puppy baby it's okay. 💜

You are AMAZING

Sheila Fote thanks Sheila!

Almost the same behavior heave my Central Asia Sheperd when I put his leash, the problem is at his five months old his about 3-4 times more massive than the Aussie. So it's difficult, your videos are helpful anyway
