Same. I see more and more dogs around off leash and out of control, and it's hard to blame the owners because they've worked with the only trainers and behaviourists available - the cookie throwers - and think they've done everything they could. In the meantime my reactive dog is in a permanent state of stress thanks to them.

Well if need a e collar to train your dog then you should never have had a dog from start... Got to understand how to train a dog from day 1 not when its to late and that dog gets a bad rumor bcs of idiot owner...

@@st1g718 that's all well and good but with all due respect, aren't you letting perfect be the enemy of better with that attitude? Sure, owners make mistakes during the early days and that isn't good enough - but Your approach risks leaving dogs anxious and reactive for the rest of their lives when owners have realised their mistakes and want to prevent a lifetime of anxiety and reactivity. Using the correct tools in the correct way late is better than never, surely? Ideally you should do it properly from day 1. But doing it a year late with different approaches is better than never if people aren't using ecollars inappropriately imo

I'm such a baby. When you mentioned that the owner of the GSD said that you saved the dog's life, I got teary eyed. How grateful he must be.

By watching these videos I was able to train my last one as my service dog. He had to stay busy though. I got him a healer ball to help with energy. He loved it. Currently using these methods I am training my new pup. He is a little more hyper as he is 3/4 aussie. We have to stay active.

I was VERY lucky with my red healer. You are going to do great! They are active and loving dogs. You ever need help, ask us or his videos

I trained a 150 lbs saint Bernard, gsd, Akita (Ludo)with a very aggressive history. At 12yrs old I trained him to do sled dog work. Give them exercise and a purpose it helps build a relationship with them. Tools are important and the use is so important as well. Watching all your videos have motivated me to begin doing dog training. When I was younger I didn't see it as an option for a career. You've inspired me to take steps to being a more professional trainer.

I love how in this video you break down the "how" and "why" behind the approach. Your videos have totally changed my perspective on remote collars, for dogs. Also really like your motto of using obedience to manage undesirable behaviors. There's so much/too much debate over the use of correction, among dog trainers/owners. I'm not a big fan of excessive correction, and at the same time - is it really I mean really, less stressful for a dog to live in a constant state of fear/anxiety/confusion, vs being firmly but gently told "Hey, stop that. It's ok, I'll vouch for you"? Holding them accountable for their actions is just like showing them there's another exit from the highway. One where there's less traffic/obstacles they have to maneuver around, all by themselves.

Tom the e-collar has been a life saver for me. I rescued a 2 year old Black German Shepherd and now a year later at 89 lbs I would not have been able to control her if it had not been for the e-collar. She now listens when corrected even without the collar. Thank you for all your great videos and information and the love you have for the dogs.

Your ability to teach people so much about all these different tools has been such a gift. I never really thought of using an E-collar until I was shown the way you utilize this tool. Thanks so so much.

thank you for educating ppl on things like this. it’s personally helped me with my dogs. i have two rescues with bite history i got from the shelter i work at one bit again last night these videos are helping me as a handler understand where i’m going wrong

I love how you break it all down to a T, all of your videos have helped me significantly with our corso who is leash reactive. He has 30lbs on me and your videos have completely changed our relationship in the best ways. We still have a ways to go but the progress thus far has been so amazing !

I love watching the specific needs of each dog being met. My dog is a sweetheart, but has separation anxiety while I'm out...will sleep in it during the day with no problem, but being along is another story...definitely improving.

I love the way you "built" this video, explained the situation and made visible with commented clips, then explained your solution and then just provided uncommented videos where I could totally focus on seeing what you had explained before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Love how you so clearly explained environment and triggers and perspective, how to adapt the training truly to what the dog needs.

Love how you break down everything from what the dog is doing, not doing, thinking, etc. to what the owner can and cannot do to resolve the “issues.” You are a great problem solver! Thank you for always giving us situations and how to work through them.

Having a six year old aggressive dog your videos help and remind me to stay calm when he starts reacting and be in charge of the situation. Thank you for giving all these dogs a chance and for helping owners everywhere.

Having a difficulty and aggressive dog has really opened my eyes in a good way. As a huge animal lover, and recently acquiring an aggressive dog, it has made me see dogs that I’ve known and loved through a different lense

That was excellent Tom! This is possibly the most important educational video you've produced. Very well done, everything in a nutshell. Clear, calmly spoken, non-dramatic, very reasonable and very accessible to people. I'd encourage anyone with a hard dog in conflict with any group, authority or organization to forward this particular video to that organization. Too many dogs being put down, and too many other pets being killed and bites on humans by dogs owned by people who do not feel comfortable taking responsibility. People with hard dogs shouldn't be put between a rock and a hard place.

Go Tom go! Changing lives and giving owners peace. I’m so proud of you! And…thank you.

Hi from Ontario, Canada (wish we were with you in Toronto right now!)Thanks for continuing to share your content publicly! We have a reactive 18m American bully and have used so many of your tips.

I'm so glad you made this video showing how ecollars / vibrate collars can literally save a dogs life, and make that difference in which other training methods may never do.

Such a great message! Always love the way you break everything down so it's super easy to understand and implement!

Tom I appreciate all of your wisdom & advice. I’m 58 have had dogs all my life and I have a new blue Heeler.. he’s the best dog ever after working hard for the past year to train him out of his intense fear period.. I’ve learned so much this year with my new dog and I’ve been watching & listening to you, have learned more than I have with all my other dogs, Thankyou 🙏👏👏

Love your content. Been following for over a year now to help train my step moms Golden retriever and English Mastiff. There’s still a lot of things to work on but your videos have helped so much 🙏

I recently adopted a young giant mixed breed dog from the local shelter. So far so good as I am learning how to manage working with his personality traits from breeds of mixed origin. Your videos are invaluable for me to learn concepts that will work with me and my dog/s. I really need the help and your videos give great, sound advice and perspectives I haven’t thought of!

Really interesting to see extreme cases like this being solved. I appreciate your clarity and nuanced explanations of why you're choosing certain methods over others for these contexts.

Thanks for all the tools and support! I made much progress with my dog thanks to your videos and the various suggestions for us to try and adapt to each individual dog! Keep it up! 🥰

I’ve had Akitas for thirty years and in my experience you are the best. Your methods are respect based and I’ve learned so much from watching you, thanks ❤🇨🇦

Having a fearful dog, I never miss a video. Thanks so much Tom!

I watch ur vids every single day & every day I have been putting into practice what ur teaching & I have noticed amazing changes in myself and my 1.5 yr old (service-in-training for my Epilepsy) GSD. Because I am unable to work, I am still saving up to get the herm sprenger as well as the e-collar u have advertised because (Storm) still has some fear based agression - But just with ur training techniques, myself & my dog have already come a long way. Thanku so much for all the help u are providing myself & everyone! We'd be lost without this help!

Tom, you are the absolute best advocate for dogs and their safety! Shelters are full of aggressive dogs that were never told no, never corrected, and never trained and just do not know boundaries. As you say, “No Bad Dogs” but there are plenty of misguided owners. This video is also another testimony to know the breed, your abilities and your time constraints before you get that cute puppy and don’t do anything with it until it is too large for you to handle. In the end, it is always the dog that suffers and I love that you stress it is the literally dog’s life that is at stake. Thank you! There is NO ONE else putting out the content that you do (and for free, I might add) that has the potential to train, rehabilitate and save lives!

I wish I had this video 20 years ago with an aggressive Shepherd I had. Love this educational video on aggressive dog training and E- collars.

Excellent, Tom. Explanation was outstanding, truthful. Message is clear. Results are absolutely harmless and productive. Bless you. Keep message out there.

Tom, keep going. Keep making videos like this. You have the platform to prove that tools, used correctly of course, can save lives.

Incredibly helpful, appreciate everything you do Tom and team!

Thank you. I'm so glad that you are speaking clearly and truthfully about when and why an e-collar should be used. It is a strong tool that can be used in an abusive way but it can also be used in an ethical way to save the life of difficult dogs.

Tom, really appreciate you and your advocacy for appropriate usage of appropriate tools. Love your approach, your work and the new editing style. Keep it up!

Tom you are awesome! So proud of how far the channel and content has come along since I started watching your content over a year ago 💪 great job!

Love this video. I have a 95 pound GSD., He is a wonderful boy. I am 64 and he can drag me anywhere he wants. I have a e-collar on him, but I only use the beep or vibrate it's all I need. Mostly use the beep. He is super friendly, but having a high dog running at you can be scary. So the beep helps him calm it down, so he is more approachable. So thanks for educational video to help people understand that it's a tool and not harmful.

As always thank you so much for your informative videos. I get grief from people who see a prong collar on our re-homed highly reactive GSD. The thing is I corrected her for less than 5 minutes the first time using the collar been on a loose lead since. We go hiking, play in rivers and lakes, walk the neighborhood, she is a WAY happier more confident dog. She’s turned into just a love muffin. I really want to come to NY and take remote collar training. Hopefully sooner rather than later!

All your training videos are a such a blessing to those of us that need your expertise but don’t have a lot of financial resources even locally for a reputable trainer..The e- collar is pretty affordable and learning to use it and all other training tools you introduce for each situation properly is life changing for me and my dogs.. I have 2 littermate German shepherd’s each with a different training need in there reactivity. Also subscribing to the no bad dog army community has been so helpful watching full training sessions. Thanks Tom for your Love and Dedication to helping us and our doggos have a better life.☺️

Thank you for the video. I use a e collar as well for my pup and your videos have real helped not only how to use it but the mind set behind it.

Tom, because of your work and open documentation of your process, my wife and I have a profession, a lifestyle and a passion for dogs. I do wish you could ignore the negativity you face for the good work you do. Your fans, even if they are silent, are incredibly indebted to you. And don't want you to feel the negativity. As that might result in you changing your style and objectives, or stop transferring your knowledge to us. Bless you!

The description of reasons/when to use the remote collar is great. I tried them a long time ago before really knowing how to use them and it was not successful, if I started trying to use one now I think we would be kick ass at it. I've learned so much from this channel and love what you guys do! 5:20

Love this video and the E Collar for me personally has saved mine and my dogs life - I still got a way to go with my training but all your videos really help thank you !

Thank you for doing everything you do, you’ve changed my life just like so many others and I can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am ❤

Love this so much! Thank you. Our dog (Husky, GSD, Collie mix) also gets triggered when anything about her environment changes (even, person was standing in one place and then takes two steps away from her, she reacts). We just started training her on an e-collar but always see videos talking about it being used for "off leash"...yea, that's not happening :). We really just want to help her think, make better choices, and be less stressed about changes around her. Thanks for the video!

Tom, this is a Great video and much needed demos. People really do need to understand the remote collars . The proper use and how they can save their dog. I hate it when people just on a band wagon without all the knowledge. Again thank you !!!!

It really works. We have a client with a Russian black terrier and he becomes 5 times more terrible than this mastiff, but he was shocked by the vibration of the collar. After 4 sessions, we came to work with air conditioning! He is changing before our eyes. Thank you, Tom, for showing off your workouts.

Super helpful!! Been learning so much from this channel! Thank you!

Your content has helped me with my 3 dogs so much! This video was very well explained 🔥

Hi Tom, I can't thank you enough for your videos and your common sense when it comes to dogs. My neighbour recently got himself a rescue dog, who is a two year old "Boxer / Queensland Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog Coss), The dog has had virtually no training in the past and has been a real handful for my neighbour to handle and spent all of his life on a long lead inside and outside of the house. My neighbour recently hurt his legs, so I volunteered to walk Charlie 4 days a week so he could get some exercise. Thanks to your videos I have been able to get Charlie to heel, sit , stay ,place, come, walk ahead of me in the bush without pulling, and pass through threshold behind me and wait for me to open doors. Charlie does this all on a lose slip leash. The only problem is Charlie is highly reactive to wildlife and is prone to suddenly pulling into his leash if something has recently passed through or suddenly flushes. He has pulled the other neighbour who walks Charlie over several times and got away from him ( he does not use a slip leash but a long lead and flat collar). I wish we could use an E collar or a Prong Collar in Australia, but they are both considered illegal. I know if I could use either, I could help Charlie more to curb his reactivity, so he could have more freedom. Charlie is very smart, extremely gentle, loving and willing to please he is just very strong, I would hate to see him sent back to the pound if I cannot teach my neighbour how to handle him. Bless you for your good advice, which has helped me to help Charlie so very much. Keep up the good fight, No Bad Dogs, Cheers, Muffy from OZ. (Australia)

Great video, as always! I have a GSD and have put in much work with my dog. I saw early signs of aggression when she was 10 months old. I immediately got my dog into training. Getting a dog requires commitment and consistency, especially with training. The owner of the Tibetan Mastiff needs to continue working with his dog. I don't want to judge him, but he needs to realize that his dog is a liability. I am very surprised his dog is alive after having a biting history. I'm glad he came to you Tom for help.

I have a 14 month old intact Caucasian shepherd who has reactive behaviour. I am so glad that I came across this video because I have been going back and forth about trying an E collar. Will try for sure while he is still a puppy.

Amazing vid! Been using e-collars on hunting dogs for years. I have 22 month old Doberman with heavy prey drive. Don’t leave home without your collar. Been using your no bad dog collar.

Great work as always

Thanks for all you do. Explaining why you do it. It is not a universal tool for any situation but for specific needs in specific situations.

Thanks for educating people about this. My dog has had issues with reactivity and these kinds of tools being available are essential.

Excellent video - so happy those owners went to you and got the result they needed to help save their dogs lives and not forgetting also to help prevent the possible injury to others. I think I have mentioned before that I live in one of the countries where these form of training tools (along with prong collars) are being banned (although not currently completely banned in the state I live in, however their use is restricted). Like you said the people advocating for the banning of these tools have no experience of these tools being used correctly and/or only envisage the worst case scenario of either their use or that the animal requiring these tools are not candidates for any type of training - so easy to end the dog's life rather than do anything to revise the dog's outlook and behavioural responses. Thank you! 👍👍👍

Great video. Thanks for doing these Tom!

Definitely one of, if not the best video you've made! Congrats!

Thanks so much for reminding me of the basics of training. I have a 12mth 60kg puppy. He's become a nightmare to take anywhere. I get anxious before we go for walks. Yesterday was enough is enough and i have to get this under control. I can't believe how stupid I've been to let it get to this stage. Thank you for the straight up do's and Don't s. Back to basics. Ive spend a hour today following what you're advice and what a huge change. I haven't fallen over, tripped up or been covered in mud and my boy is so much more relaxed and I didn't have to take a chill pill after our walk. Cheers for reminding me yes they are our best mate but they are dogs and need their owners to own them to feel safe in themselves. Thank you, looking forward to our morning walks in NZ. Onwards and upwards 😀

I have a 6yo German shepherd and a 7mo pit/rottie/husky/beagle/retriever mix. The puppy is hard headed like a rottie, thinks it’s a lapdog, talks like a husky and bull headed when listening to instructions lol my German puts her in her place most times except on a leash. My puppy acts great but my German not so much. My German is also a runner if given the chance. Even tho she gets walks and exercise daily she loves to get out and run lose but we live near a busy street. I really want to get this collar to see if it helps

I LOVE your videos and training! I got a E Collar for my dog because she was so distracted on our walks and distracted by people and other dogs and it has helped sooooo much especially paying attention when I ask her to do something because treats were not enough. But I’m not embarrassed to use a E Collar it is the best tools around

Been watching your videos everyday for the past week and learned so much ! I have 4 hyper Frenchies, been walking them with slip leash now instead of harness and it’s night and day !!! I still have 2 of them pulling, thinking of getting a prong. My dream is for them to be able to stay calm inside the house. Big thanks for teaching us make our dogs the best they can be 😊

Fascinating I watch your vids all the time - very helpful to me - wish me and my dogs can attend your group lessons!

I love watching these videos. I Tom’s approach to dog training just makes sense. I would love to see him work in person. It would be awesome to get to work with him with my own dog.

I’m so glad I’ve found your video!! I’m considering getting the e-collar as we can seem to get my dog to not go after other dogs.

Thanks for this video! I showed this to my roommate who owns a 1yr old intacked, Anatolian male who has taken to resource guarding and attacking me, biting me a few times. We've started E Collar training. It helps to see actual footage, I probably wouldn't rely on vibrate though myself, especially since no muzzle on this dog I've got at home.

Surprisingly enough I have used a lot of your techniques without having to touch the dogs that I have around me to stop there barking, both of them are German shepherds. They’re awesome animals love your video. These are the kind of clients that I run a crossed when I’m walking my dog in our nature park here. Most of them are older seniors, and they have these ginormous dogs that are struggling to control and they use the halters and they use harnesses and then wonder why they’re being dragged. I refer a lot of these people to yours your channel as homework to aid success for them and the animal.

I’ve got two dogs - both reactive w dogs, one w people as well. I def appreciate all the info in your videos.

Very helpful video! Your videos have helped me with my reactive Australian Shepherd!

I loved how this videos content was presented & totally agree with the use of the e collar in a balanced way. Thank you for the calm common sense presentation.

Great video, very helpful. I'm working with a few clients that have corso and a german shepherd that are more powerful from them. All of them got the dog to protect them, but are concerned because they can't turn it off. We're working on obedience now and will overlay it with the eCollar. I completely agree with your logic, correction and disagreement of banning tools. Doing so will cause many dogs to be put down. Thank you for using your platform to save the lives of dogs!

Great video!!

Cannot believe you taking on such tough cases. The correct tools will help so much and your knowledge imparted to the owners is absolute gold. Stress is nothing compared to what could have been concerning the life of the dogs involved. E collars are an extremely useful tool. I would like to think, what if the people who want these collars banned had to be in a situation where their own lives depended on the use on an e collar?

Love the e-collar videos

It was so hard to find in Canada but I bought your e-collar and your course for it and it's so so helpful! I went to a busy campsite and had my dog on a harness but put on the e-collar as well. The line broke on his harness and thankfully I had the e-collar to call him off of another dog and have him come back to me. Thank you so much for what you do!❤
