 Hello everybody and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel or right here on YouTube. I'm Tom Davis America's canine educator. So first and foremost, I'm gonna go live today Obviously, if you guys have dog training questions, you can leave them below in the comments Whether it's live or not live because I'll answer them later So first and foremost like this video when you guys get in and thank you guys so very much for joining me And I wanted to thank you guys additionally For the 90k we hit we hit 90 thou over 90. I think we're at 91,000 Subscribers right here on YouTube, which is a gigantic deal I appreciate you guys supporting me. So today I want to talk about my fun adventures to Europe And I only went to a little I didn't cover all of Europe So this video is really about some key components that I took away from Europe And the dog owners and the dog trainers that worked in Europe because I thought it was really really really cool And actually pretty fascinating how the lifestyles are completely different probably Because they they made decisions based off of things that may have happened or Bad things that may have happened or mistakes or what have you so I want to talk about that And then of course it's one of the hop on here and just say hello to everybody just because I've been traveling a lot We got some new things going on as far as production and how we're processing things So we're gonna be up back in live with multiple videos per week per use Before 2020 of course, but anyway getting right into it first thing I noticed About Europe is is the fact that the muzzles are very heavy They're enforced. They're used and The what I love about it is is it's it's not a burden and it's not a bad thing Where here in the United States and maybe other places in the country you guys can chime in down in the comments below about this how you how you feel but I Feel like a lot of times when I offer people muzzles Or I suggest muzzles to dog owners They are off put by that or they're confused by that or I Don't know maybe I don't know I think it's just it's just off-putting for some people because muzzles for the majority of dog owners Or even people that aren't dog owners that look at dogs and muzzles think it's automatically associated with something bad when What I found in Europe was not that at all, which is really really cool Which is something I'm really excited to share with you all the all the cool things that I learned about that But basically in Europe when you go to public you public things Sightseeing you know old cathedrals churches Going up those big those big like lifts that bring you up on top of Mountains and whatever castles and things like that There is a you have to what your dog has to be on a muzzle and not only that if they don't have a muzzle They provide you with a muzzle or they can sell you with a muzzle Which is something you would never see in the United States It would either be one of two things. It would be binary. It would be a situation of Hey, your dog can't come in here at all or Or your dog doesn't have to muzzle it at all And so it creates a lot of a lot of different scenarios that can go off So that was something I was really impressed with that not only did they have these Regulations in place to protect probably the dog and people, but it also it was also really cool because the The organization or the facility that we were at we're helping Reinforce this like hey, you can't go up without this muzzle and if you don't have one Well, we'll sell you one which is really really cool I really enjoyed seeing that and I wanted to talk to you I wanted to talk to you guys about tools here in a little bit But I thought that that was really cool because like I said in United States it would be yeah We don't give a crap what your dog does bite growle Whatever or it would be no dogs allowed So I feel like that was very Progressional as far as being proactive with certain aspects of dogs being coexisting in public Where again, I think in United States it would just be not it wouldn't be I know you know because I live here But anyway, so I want to talk about I want to talk about some other things other than what I saw there But people were also using muzzles out in the streets And I and I ended up talking to to a dog owner And they were basically telling me that they're dogs because there's so many people You're up in the places that I went I went to big cities like you know Vienna Vienna and Austria Munich a couple other places in Austria But I was traveling in big cities So there were trains and there were a lot of population a lot of city living if you will a lot of people a lot of people and This particular person actually just had the muzzle on because the dog would eat constantly off the ground Which I thought was really cool so they're just being creative with how they're using that tool and Utilizing the tool to not only prevent or predict maybe potentially unpredictable aggressive behavior Or unpredictable people, but it was also being used to just keep the dog safe as a dog Because with all those tourists and all those people You know there's constantly food and whatever else is on the ground So using a muzzle as you're walking through these big big big populated areas to keep the dog not sick was something I was like wow, that's really cool. I don't think I've thought of it that way I don't think I've looked at it that way And it was just no big deal to them So that was something that I really really thought was Was really cool and how they were utilizing that tool to that advantage instead of what people normally would think You know muzzles would be used for and the other thing that I thought that was really really interesting was the fact that I saw a lot of slip slip Leashes which would basically be a long leash with a slip at the end I didn't see a lot of tools which was really cool, but I also didn't see a lot of pulling dogs I so I saw it was it was it was one of the other it was either Really calm dogs walking really really nicely on the leash or then it was like the completely out of control barking dog But it was interesting to see Just how how how they live their their lifestyle and how they trained and Living in Europe and those bigger cities much like any other big country or any other big Continent or even in the United States just having these really really big these big cities You know you have to train differently just like you would in any big big city in any in anywhere in the world You'd have to train differently because the amount of people and the amount of Environmental that you're dealing with so we saw a lot of you know different things I wasn't actually training in Europe because we wanted to focus on You know a lot of just having fun and drinking beer and things like that So anyway, so I did see I didn't see one off leash dog I saw a lot of muzzle utilization for Pretty much everything universally with the dog to keep the dog safe, which was really really cool And then you know we saw a lot of really well-behaved dogs We saw some outbreaks and some some some crazy dogs But my experience in Europe watching dogs and their owners was really cool It was motivating to see how they were using different tools differently. That was pretty cool So anyway, so if you guys are here like this video, I'll take some questions really quick And then I got a pop-off but again, thank you guys so very much for for joining me And I wanted to do this quick video to just say hello and thank you for the 90k and my Experiences in Europe with working with dogs or I'm sorry seeing dogs and watching their owners work with them But if anybody has any questions, I could take them now in the answers below and we will go from there So let's see All right, so Was there a log against off leash dogs so Blake when I was in Europe, I didn't see I that's a good question I don't really know I didn't see in a lot of off-leash dogs But I did I did see a lot of people a lot of signs saying like hey muzzle your dog during certain attractions Which is really really cool And then whoever just asked asked about me coming to Europe I've I've been trying to to work that out. We've been trying to do some stuff in England But I we were just unable to connect as far as venues go because we need a venue and it seems like a lot of people in Europe train outside It's a lot of outdoor training and for me to come all that way I want to make sure that we have a good venue for for us to to work comfortably inside Shits and work I didn't get to see any any official German shits and work But Yeah Yeah, so the dog parks there I did see like a couple dog parks, but they were just like huge huge open spaces, which was really cool It wasn't really that fenced in Can muzzling a dog prompt them to act more agressive aggressively because they feel defenseless absolutely. It's a really good question So if you muzzle a dog and they're not used to it if you haven't so what I always suggest to people if you have a dog That could be even if you don't have a dog that doesn't like people and you're gonna bring them Out into public and there's a chance that they could Fail because of you know people kids a lot of the environmental stressors going on I always tell people to start the muzzling process at an early age You can get a basketville muzzle put peanut butter at the other end your dog and pop their their nose into there Do that for about a week get them really associated with that with that muzzle Really really comfortably and they're they're associated with something positive Which would be peanut butter or if it's not peanut butter or something else, but just using that I know I don't know it's so like using that as a very positive thing, but the other thing is is You could cut so the basketville muzzles is is is plastic or rubber I'm sorry, so you can actually cut the the the front of it off And so it makes it really comfortable for the dog to move around and they get really comfortable with it You do a lot of training with that and then in the future You can actually put a real one on once you start going that way But it can definitely shut a dog down if they're not used to it any dog with with that thing right on their face Like this like Bain type is gonna make them either go into fight or flight They're gonna just like try to run away or they're gonna try to lay down They're not gonna want to do anything So I would suggest if you're going to train with a muzzle or if you're gonna go out in public with a muzzle You're gonna have to do a lot of muzzle training to get the dog comfortable with with that So that's something I would recommend that absolutely that's normal It could it could create and prompt aggressive tendencies because they feel vulnerable because you basically took away their whole defense mechanism It's basically blindfolding somebody putting their arms behind her back tying it throwing them into like a mosh pit You're gonna want to get out of there and you're not gonna want to do anything because you can't defend yourself at all So yeah, that could definitely happen because it makes dogs vulnerable Again if you guys have it yet like this video, and then I'll take a couple more questions, and then I got to eat some food Cool all right looks like you guys are I think it's just Yeah, totally different culture for sure it's really cool to see it's actually really inspiring I was really excited to to see how you guys live and to see how you guys there's a lot of dog Dog associated world and it was really cool. So as far as As far as Me traveling, I've been getting a lot of those questions, and then we'll end from here As far as me traveling to other places. We are working on a spring tour We're gonna do across the country. We're gonna do I think four or five spots And if I do anything if I do anything It's going to be on my Instagram if you guys haven't yet follow me on Instagram at Tom Davis But if I do anything all of that is going to be posted on there as far as details go But yes, we are planning on doing a countrywide tour from the east coast to the west coast I think doing four or five stops Doing two stops out in California or maybe just one And then we're gonna come back but anyway Thank you guys so much.
