Dog Training From my Facebook Live Stream last week. I have never been a fan of this statement....how do you fake something inside when working with a dog hoping you are going to get the same reaction that a trainer might get? Dog owners should focus on being as relaxed as possible while working with their dog - let their instincts take over and get in sync with their dogs! Be sure to subscribe!

I learned so much from this stream, not about dogs but about our clients! I had a TON of fun and will no doubt do it again. Be sure to subscribe!

Listen to this podcast and learn the difference between timeout and structured down time. Be sure to subscribe!

Dog Training The remote collar causes more controversy than any other tool in the dog training world. It's most commonly referred to as a "shock" collar which is one of the worst terms to use as there is no electrical shock that comes from the collar. When used incorrectly this tool can shut down a dog. Used correctly it can be one of the best tools for recall there is. Be sure to subscribe!

Dog Training This concept came about during one of our Live streams a few weeks back and it got me thinking. I think it's fair to say everyone knows a dog that seems to be able to run all day without taking a break. Their physical stamina is through the roof but what if I told you that it's possible to wear that dog out in 30 minutes with just a leash and some mental stimulation. Be sure to subscribe!
