Tom, if you’re reading this man, you are absolutely incredible! Your ability to communicate and articulate animal behavior and teach is seamless and flawless. You just really get it and these dogs are so fortunate to have you advocate for them. I’m an animal nurse technician in the veterinary field for 5 years now and developed an interest for specializing in animal behavior after obtaining a fear free certification. Then I suddenly came across your videos and completely aligned with your approach. Thank you for advocating for these guys and really educating people. There is so much I’ve learned with your videos that I can take with me to work and educate those around me and remind people there are “NO BAD DOGS” I’ve always believed that as well. Keep doing what you do 🙏🏽

@@samwdavis, and I disagree with you. This redirection ( toy/ play/treat) method apparently worked with this dog. The dog had more positive association with the stimuli before those triggers vs negative associations with those triggers. Negative/ corrections with a reactive dog can and do sometimes cause the dog to be more aggressive. Each dog is different and not every technique works for every dog.

Great comments both, shows how variable the answer is. Would have been great to see both styles to see the reaction. I guess it's always best to start with redirection, treat and then progress to correction if no results are seen in real world scenarios.

As someone in the vet field, I cannot explain how helpful these videos are. I cannot even count the amount of animals we’ve had brought in to our hospital for euthanasia because of “aggression” that ends up in signing owner rights to us for us to train and find the perfect home for or sometimes even just helping the owner find places to go for training and widening their mindsets on owning an animal. I always recommend this channel not just for training, but the explanations you give for why a dog is reacting to certain things in certain ways. Love love love this!! ❤️

My purebred rescue working line GS is choosing to listen, sit, and ignore dogs both on walks, and passing fence when she's loose in backyard. She now looks to me for direction now and comes when called. Hotdogs are a favorite treat. 😁She used to lunge, spin, growl and just come unglued. I have learned so much from you, Tom. And I am so grateful! She's a gem with people, but was so dog aggressive --it was a grave concern after she slipped out of the front door and bit a dog and wouldn't release.. I love her and am devoted to keeping her safe as well as others. She is smart, loyal and such a delight!! She is living the good life now.❤❤❤
I LOVE how Tom read this dog and thought out of the box. Amazing 🤩

This is the kind of dog I love to pull from the shelter. Oh the things you can do with a little understanding and training. He could literally do anything from dock diving to search and rescue. What a little diamond the owners have uncovered with your help Tom! I'm so glad you guys were connected and now Creature and his people will be able to have a more fulfilling life. Thanks for sharing!
Just a high-drive dog that needs a "job." Breeders select for that drive and owner focus he's got in his obedience - he just needs the outlet, like you said.

I really respect the owners for taking responsibility and sticking through it with this dog. A lot of people would've said no this dog is too much, and he wouldve ended up in a shelter. People tend to think reactivity is pure dog aggression and its not. This is by far my favorite video Tom has done. It really shows how misunderstand pitties are and how great they can be. They really really want to do good. They just need a little guidance to funnel it into the right direction.
I didn’t know until this video how much of the science behind the terrier mindset I had been missing. Dogs like Creature (and my own) really can be such a different experience. You remind me regularly that each dog is different and has its own journey. Thank you. You remind me there are always ways to celebrate with my dog.
This is the first time I have seen a dog as reactive as my dog is. He is 14 mos he does his obedience work off hand signals beautifully until another dog shows up. Today he got past the first dog pretty good, but blew up on the next two. He doesn't bark and growl any more but like Creature it is hard to get his focus on me. I have tried what this video teaches and things are getting better. He was 8 mos old when I got home and treated badly which is why I have him now.
We need more people like you in the world, willing to help out troubled animals! You are like a saint for misunderstood animals! God bless!

This is my dog’s personality twin. They’re truly a diamond in the rough. So much drive and intensity and with the proper training they excell!
bro once tom got a hold of him and started using the tug and taught the drop it i was like holy shit this dog has amazing drive and could do so much more than he is and hes so damn quick
I think they hit the jackpot with this dog. Its a lot of Hard work of course but then as a reward a dog like this.. wow. Good job Tom!🙏

Love this episode! The owner stepped up to the responsibility on training his dog and he really listened well to Tom's guidance. Tom, your understanding of dog behavior wow.
I totally agree. As a trainer, when you see a dog like this, everything changes. I love a good, motivated working breed. Working with one now and its such a challenge, because she also redirects. Its honestly just like this video, having to try so many new things and continually problem solve on the spot because of the redirection. But in doing so you find such amazing dogs out of it. Who knew how motivated this dog was!!? Nice video, Tom!

I haven't been around a dog quite that intense, so I am very impressed by the transition! Breaking down the the training into such small increments helped both the owners and the dog. Tom, your instinctive training for each individual situation never ceases to amaze and inspire! Great job one everyone's behalf!
If only all dog owners were able and willing to train them...this is one of the best training sites I have seen. Thank you.
I love that you are using "magnetic hand" or what you called "contact obedience". I used that with my reactive dog when I first started working on his leash reactivity around his triggers. The perfect solution to teach him to pay attention to me because I'm much more valuable than the dog or kid or bike passing us. Now we can cross the street away from his triggers and use "look at me" with treats being given every few steps while he maintains eye contact with me 😊 super useful tool!

What a beautiful dog. So many hate the breed or assume being terrier behavior indicates viscousness. Thank you for highlighting and showing his potential.
Creature is amazing. I had an Amstaff for 14 years he showed the same willingness to work and was great at anything we trained for. (Obedience, agility and show). Amazing dog and great owners.
You are good, Tom, but that was one of the best owners I've seen on your channel. He picked up on what you were saying and doing right away. Good job! 🙂
i'm amazed at how intelligent this dog is. truly has so much potential and he's gonna do well
For some reason this is my favourite video out of all of them. Toms love affair with creature and the owners ability to listen to what tom says and just do it instantly are brilliant. The impact this has on creatures behaviour is brill.
The reward system was something I was really missing in my training I'm glad you covered this topic very well here going to help me out alot

Wow, Creature is an incredible dog. And props to his human for learning so quickly as well!
I love the information about breed type behaviours (terrier, shepherds, etc). It really helps me understand the root of the behaviour to compliment and understand the reasoning behind the training method. Thank you for taking the time to explain. Knowledge is power!
i've been working with my amstaff/pitty who is so much like this. genuinely the best dog i've ever had and so smart, but SO reactive. these videos are incredibly helpful, thank you.
Okay... Well that's just too impressive. I'm blown, you're a legend 😳
That was fantastic, Tom. My Benny is also reactive and has redirected to me several times. I have not found Benny to have any sort of Toy drive but he is very food motivated. Great job with Creature!!

I just have to say, I've learned so much from watching! I was given a pup that was heading to a kill shelter, she had serious issues for a year or more, then I started watching this channel and adopting techniques that were being explained. She's become my shadow and so very sweet. It's still a bit of a trial, she loves hunting anything lil that she can catch and destroys the house when left alone at times, but wow. She's become such a sweet baby. Just saying thank you!
FINALLY!!! This is my dog EXACTLY! He has the exact same behaviors my dog has (looks like a similar breed and body-type).
What a gorgeous dog with such a cool name!
Hey, you found my dog's twin! So far good to know I've been doing the right things; they are at the same level, but probably won't have any play buddies until she's senile and close to her end of life but so long as she doesn't freak out anymore. Kudos to you Tom, and the owners.
He is the cutest and smartest dog I’ve seen yet ! Creature is so extremely smart and aware ! The absolute best part is seeing how loving he is to his owner

I’ve been watching your videos for the past week and I see improvement with my leash reactive dog. She’s the sweetest girl but doesn’t like other dogs or when people hover over her. I learned it starts with being confident with myself that way she doesn’t feel the need to be the protector when we are on walks.

Aww what a good doggg his improvement is crazy. So much intelligence on him
It really is so good when you know the owners are switched on and are willing to put the effort in. Creature is a beautiful dog and you can see he really wants to work and please his owners. They have a great bond.
Making up new training material is fantastic! I love it because at one point for some reason my chihuahua got reactive to the sound of other dog collars. So I'd mimick the sound and have her focus on something else instead! I love your methods Tom, I either learn something or remember to practice something from you almost every day!
everytime I watch your videos, part of me just wants to get up and start working with my dog, even if I currently can't rn. ^^ Your so inspiring and make it look so fun!
Creature is such a beautiful and good boy! And owner is a natural!!
This dog has so much potential it's unbelievable. I love when you get dogs who just need a good tune up and new strategy but have a great foundation!
This is hands down the best session Uploaded to this channel so far. (IMO!). Beautiful use and example of positive reinforcement/drive and motivational leaning balanced training where the tactile interruption and suppression of reactivity from the prong toggled between the squeaky ball and the treats had such a fast and drastic effect in just 2 sessions. Bravo. One thing I wish there was more of on this channel is a continuation/following up with these dogs once they're in home again. I could see this dog regressing and struggling with these same methods and his owners struggling to implement them once they're in their neighborhood trying to do a leash walk but I would think in just a couple of sessions similar to this 1 they would be able to generalize the training to that environment as well and it would be really cool to see.
Great work Tom. You have shifted to the next gear with success. I can see that you are taking the best of positive training too. Combining all good stuff really works.
This owner did amazingly!!!! That was great.
Your videos make me smile so much and have helped me and my reactive pup too! Also this owner did such a great job during this training. His timing seemed great and his dog picked right up on it. Creature is in great hands with your guidance now!
Absolutely amazing dog! His parents are so lucky to have found him and what a fabulous job with the training!
So helpful to watch this!! We struggle with how to address intense reactivity when it comes to cats and I think this will be extremely helpful for me to work on how I address it in the future.
God that almost brought a tear such a beautoful dog. No bad dogs. What a wonderful animal. My girlfriend and i are looking for a pit and this is wonderful. Thank you for all your work.
I smiled through this whole video! What a cool dog!! Super owner and of course fabulous trainer 😁

I love seeing terriers work! And Creature is awesome. As are his owners. I'm watching with a big smile 😄
Can't wait for the uncut version in the NBD Official Club! My dog has the exact same behavior and responds in the same way as Creature to this approach but a professional in my area keeps telling me that it's a leadership issue and that I should correct him until he submits even though it's obvious that each correction adds to his frustration... In this exact manner I've taught him to not react towards cats (it was easier because I had access to a calm cat that would not move at first) and also to not react to a fake dog (6 feet away), but completing the task seem to be very complicated as I do not have access to a real dog in order to help make the transition to real world situations. For me personally this is one of the most valuable videos on the channel! Thanks a lot and congrats on all your work!
this is a masterclass my friend

Great training video. My ‘go to’ are both those things, the tug and the ball and rope, you need to have decently made ones or they don’t last two minutes. My dog isn’t as sharp as this one but is an Am Staff x and has a decent prey drive. Those items are our saviour for engaging my dog with me and off of other things. We do agility classes, rally-o, scent detection and fly-ball occasionally. I hope the owners find dog sports, it’s great for these dogs.
10/10 video! Great to see you unlock a gifted dog's true potential
I thank you for explaining the reactivity in different breeds, right in the beginning. Knowledge is wealth !! You always share the wealth. Congratulations on becoming a dad !!!!
you can tell the owners put a lot of hard work in prior to their visit as well.Beautifully trained dog. Always love the pitties
What a good frigging dog!! SO focused. Tom you nailed it when you said this dog is capable of anything.
wow this dog is fantastic! lots of drive and obedience! he def has IT!!! no bad dogs!!!
LOLing at the dog decoy just being dragged on lead.
Creature is my dog's clone! My 3 yr. old is APBT + American Bully. His sister/littermate was so prey driven that after giving up on the dog park, broke through from the back seat barrier, out the front window to attack a small dog on a leash. Her owner made a quick decision to have her euthanized that day....We had rescued both pups at 2 WEEKS of age, bottle fed them and loved them immensely.....I can hardly think about her without crying....My friend is 70 and just didn't stop to think of training, muzzling, etc....This video lets me see how much further my dog can go...and how far he's gone because of following Tom for almost 3 years!
Beautiful dog! The best video I’ve seen from you. It would be so much fun to train this dog. The drives that cause him to be so sharp at obedience are the same drives that make him reactive. It’s just a matter of controlling those drives as best as you can. Lovely lesson Tom.
I see a lot of my dog in Creature. She's an Am Staff who has been more reactive since hitting sexual maturity. Videos like this one are the reason I have been able to make so much progress with her, and am able to take her on walks in public parks and into pet stores. I've been able to learn her body language, thresholds, and how to be an activate for her thanks to these videos!
The owners are great! Thank you for seeing this amazing dog's potential and how great he really is.
Hey Tom I just wanted to comment that I’ve been watching your videos, your advocation for dogs, use of tools and your way of communicating and explaining how to train your dog have changed my perspective and relationship with my rescue boy who I’ve been struggling with…I know allot of people you help with behaviour have similar previous relationships with trainers in the past that doesn’t help them, the way interact with the dogs and the way you teach people has given me so much knowledge really thankful for you sharing!! Thank you from Snoopy and Lily from Australia.
You're amazing!! I absolutely love watching your videos and applying anything I can to our own dog training. We have a Bernese Mountain dog that doesn't fit the typical description - he's a little skeptical of new people, leash reactive (though he's gotten better) but a giant sweetheart once you get to know him. We live in Germany and have tried to find trainers like you but with zero success. I swear, if you ever find yourself in this corner of the world I would kill for a session with you! Until then, keep doing what you're doing!!
I feel like this is totally my dog! And the trainer I used gave some of the exact same tips. thank you so much! at least now I have something to refer to as reminders.
Tom, loved all the acknowledgement of Creature's natural disposition and genius!
I just want to say thank you so much for educating me on how to understand and communicate with my dog better. I have a German shepherd lab mix she is really sweet. She wasn't aggressive but I wanted to control her better on walks and I watch your videos and walks are great now. She is winning prestigious dog obedience competitions. And she is becoming a service dog for my low blood sugar. All because you let me see how smart she is with your videos. She will save my life and I can't thank you enough.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Great vid - another big knowledge transfer🙌💖🙌
