Wow. I almost could not get through this episode. LADY…give that puppy back! You really have no business owning a puppy. Tom is a trainer, not a miracle worker. I feel bad for that pup. Outside of that, good podcast.

I understand that my dog most likely will not get over her fear of strangers but she needs help managing her fear. She is well trained in obedience. She knows heel very well but when we are walking around the neighborhood and the neighbors are outside minding their own business she feels the need...Read full review »

I recently found out that you also have a podcast and now I am hooked. I look forward to your seminar in NL. I have a question: I have a dachshund that I am currently training a lot of obedience with, because of his leash reactivity. I understand that I have to hold him accountable if he does not...Read full review »

Hi Tom! I have a long question, but first of all, sorry if my english is not perfect, I’m from Hungary. So I have a female, 2,5 year old akita. Me and my family both love her. In 99% of the days she’s an amazing, obidient and happy dog, which is a product of your daily work as well, as I’ve...Read full review »

Great podcast, ton of amazing free resources. I have a 7 month Alaskan malamute who can be very stubborn (per the breed). He’s fairly smart and picked up well on his obedience (sit, place, stay, come, down) , however, he is definitely in his teenage phase. Our biggest issue is his inability...Read full review »

Hi Tom, I recently discovered your podcast as I’m having problems with my 2 year old Vizsla attacking my new Great Dane who I brought home at 8 weeks, now 5 months old. My vizsla has always been nervous/submissive with dogs. She used to go to agility training until one day she attacked a dog she...Read full review »

I figured you might appreciate the click bait title 😁 Anyways, I could probably write a novel in thank you’s as I feel it’s important you always know how meaningful your work and resources are to the every day dog owner. I’ll try to keep this condensed. I have an 8 month old male German Shepherd...Read full review »

I live in a place where people think ecollars electrocute and burn the dog. So no trainer with 509 miles. So had to train alone with the monks of new skete book.

Hi Tom, I’m a huge fan of you and your content. I work with my 6 month old labradoodle puppy on your kickstarter lessons daily and he is becoming a very obedient and well behaved little puppy.

Hi Tom. Great to hear that you are back. I’m a lister in Australia. You have helped me so much with my reactive dog and helped us to improve our recall to.

Awesome podcast and advice! I have a 7-month-old husky puppy. She’s really smart, really confident, but really stubborn (huskies lol). Tom’s videos (especially on heel work and engagement) have been super helpful for her training and for wiping out bad habits before they become a...Read full review »

Tom really helps me sort out my dogs’ behavior through this podcast. I have learned so much! My new rescue had extreme leash reactivity to other dogs. Using a prong and working on obedience we are able to walk right past dogs with no issues if she is heeling in only 3 months of her being with...Read full review »

I love the podcast and you have helped so much with my two French Bulldogs and my Mastiff! My question is about my mastiff. He is over 70 lbs at 4.5 months and he is well trained in most circumstances but sometimes he sees another dog and his training goes out the window. I am a very small middle...Read full review »

And I’ve listen to your podcast to teach me how to raise him and I must say…. He is very well behaved . You’re very straight to the point and I really enjoy what you do. Thank you so much

My 2 dogs NEVER listen. I took my dog to off leash training and she listened for 2 weeks after. We paid 250$ for her to still not listen! I started looking for help to train them. I found this podcast and I found it made sense. I looked at other podcasts and they would explain about stuff that...Read full review »

This is not a question, but simply a thank you. I’m an up and coming young trainer and recently adopted my first dog. He’s a Belgian Malinois, and you and Lakota have been my biggest inspirations.

Any tips on how to continue to improve my relationship with my dog that is anxious, and also improve his overall confidence. He is epileptic so not sure if that plays a role in his overall thinking process and behavior. Obedience seems to stress him out more, so I’m unsure how to help him. I feel...Read full review »

I’ve been a big fan for a while, the No Bad Dogs treat pouch is also incredible. Question: We have a 2 year old lab/pyrenees mix that is a certified therapy dog and has his advanced CGC. One thing we have struggled with is that he offers his paw all the time. Pretty much every interaction he...Read full review »

Hi Tom! I have a 3yo 80lb golden retriever who we are currently training for leash reactivity. We just perfected our “heel” with a prong collar (minus when dogs are around, other distractions are fine). We used a gentle leader in the past and A) he really didn’t like it and was always pawing at...Read full review »

Hey Tom I’m having a hard time with getting my dog to listen if he knows I’m not gonna reward him. I know I need to change something I’m doing I’m just not quite sure what.

Hello Tom, love your podcast and all your content. I have a 1 year old Bully mix that doesn’t do well with meeting new people. If he recognizes your smell he is happy to see you but if it’s someone he doesn’t recognize he growls and takes a good while to get used to someone new. I do have an...Read full review »

Hi Tom, We have rescued our dog from a HAWS location and he is a hound mix, 2 years old. He was relinquished to shelter due to his previous owners living in apartments and dog was barking.

How would you handle the following situation, if it was you? You step out of the door with your dog to go on a walk, and, IMMEDIATELY, 10 stray dogs wake up from their slumber and start barking and approaching. Your dog is well trained, but you have no control over those dogs, and it is loud and...Read full review »

Hi Tom! I have two questions. My first question is that I’ve noticed that my dog can be a bit of a bully to other dogs. For example, when she is around my family dog, who she usually gets along with, my dog will often get jealous if someone is petting the family dog. She will try to get in...Read full review »

Thanks for the great content! I have a 1 year old gsd/border collie/dane/pit mix dealing with some leash reactivity.

I have a question about my 6 month old Australian Sheppard mix. Whenever I come home after being at work all day he ducks his head and tail and starts to pee. It can happen a few times a day. When I greet him with a pet he immediately pees and walks away. What should I do? Great podcast! Keep it up!
