What I absolutely love about these videos is that you see so many dog trainers and experts preach that if you don't train a dog within the first 3-6 months that you lose that window. What you show is that no dog is a lost cause, even if they've had nothing, been abused, mistreated, whatever, if someone is willing to take control and take command, you can help better that dogs life tenfold.

@Will Atherton Canine Training Hi Will, I thought you might like to know this.
I've just fit a boiler in this dogs new home. He's now called Sid and is very happy and looking much more healthier! He didn't seem to have any anxiety or behavioural issues at all so is clearly made up to be given a new opportunity on life.
The owners can't thank you and the shelter enough as Sid has been wonderful for them.

This is why I have the utmost respect for you. This amazing boy was so abused and neglected. The cruelty of others has cost him so much.

After such an awful start to this boy’s life, I’m so glad you found him and with love and kindness - and of course your skills as a trainer - can turn it all around for him so his future will be a happy one. Bless you for the wonderful work you’re doing 🥰

I volunteer in a shelter here in California. We have many adoptions every week, but very very few are larger breeds like Shepherds, and pit bulls. This boy would never have had a chance where I work. You've shown all of us that a rather scarry looking dog, of a feared breed can actually be a very sweet, loving animal. I see from the comments, he was adopted, and the new owners love him. You've done a beautiful thing, Will. Congratulations! You've inspired me to try something similar, but not being a certified trainer, I really don't know if anyone at the shelter would take me seriously. I've watched enough of your videos to know how to guide adoters the correct way, but without certification, they are not going to let me be associated with the organization. I do feel that offering training classes to those who adopt large breed dogs would increase the number of adoptions, and save many lives.

Thank you for giving this poor, abused dog a second chance at a good life. I wish you would provide an up-date on him.

Heartbreaking start, I don't know how human beings can hurt an animal 💔 but what a lucky lucky boy to have fell into your hands Will 💙

[junoantaresofficial]

You trained that dog like he already knew it all and just needed reminders which is extremely impressive. I also feel like he is a very very smart dog and that helped him be able to understand that you were there to help him and that him following your lead was all he needed to focus on. Thank you for rescuing him.

It is heartbreaking 💔 to see the condition of this dog but I am so grateful Will that you have him now even if only for a week~I look forward to following this journey!! Thanks for all you do for the animals!

Even my perfectly hearing dog responds to hand signals for most of his commands even when I don’t use the verbal command too. It’s a very powerful tool to have even with hearing dogs! It means that if we are in a very noisy environment he still has very clear signals and knows what I’m asking of him. Really loving your videos, not only are they helpful but get my enthusiasm for training right up!

Great Tips and Advice. I have an Abused GSD, just needed a firm loving owner. She has come out her shell and now seeks out people. She was Scared stiff when I got her. She cried when I picked her up, she had sore ribs and kept to herself. Now She is the first of my dogs to greet me in the morning or when she sees me. She will always be lame but she tries to keep up with the other dogs.

[donnaallgaier-lamberti]

I find it very helpful to see how you work with your Staffy's. I always learn and I thank you. I rescued a Lab/Staffy and it took me a long time to not only understand her needs and to understand how to best work with her. It took hiring a professional trainer to teach me, but after 9 months we are now dialing in the way we need to be. Inspite of her bad habits my girl is loving, loyal and sweet and coming along well. I am her world AND SHE IS MINE. Yes, add more in this series, please.

[SyedAli-evou]

You definitely are a kind human being. I felt so sad for the poor dog and glad that he found you. Great job!

[manumalikkotheevans]

such a shame that he'd been neglected .so grateful for people like you helping dogs like him be able to find forever homes

[MrRushandy]

Just found your channel, really enjoyed this video. It's wonderful to see humans using their innate goodness and kindness to help other life forms. You clearly have a gift for this. Thank you for helping this dog and giving it the best possible shot at a new life.

Number 2, I love the new branding channel.
Now, to Number 1, you have a golden heart Will, a brilliant mind too, but your heart is full of love.
The very first moment he looked at you I got goose bumps.
I've been watching you for about 4-5 years now, every single minute was a delightful one.
Much love my brother

[KingsMom]

I LOVE when Will works with dogs like this😁🙏💛

[beatabaran]

What kind of person can hurt a living creature this way!!! Thank you, Will, for proving that for every cruel and stupid person there is a bunch of compassionate and knowledgeable people like you and your team who can and will outnumber cruelty and help to heal innocent animals.

[whxxsux]

What a great bloke. Giving these dogs the opportunity’s they deserve. Awful how some people treat animals, good to know there’s people like you doing some good to counter it❤️

[mohamadjamil]

What you are doing with dogs is just amazing. God bless you and wish you nothing but success
