Training with treats is one of the most effective ways to teach your dog new behaviors and improve focus. However, many dog owners either overuse treats or use them incorrectly. As a result, dogs may only listen when food is visible, or they become distracted instead of engaged. The goal isn’t to rely on treats […]

Leash pulling dog training is one of the most common struggles dog owners deal with on walks. At first, the walk starts calm. Then within seconds, your dog is pulling, lunging, and completely focused on everything except you. As a result, walks become frustrating and exhausting instead of enjoyable.

Dog distraction training is where many dogs start to struggle. Your dog may listen at home but ignore you outside. This is common. However, it usually means the basics are not strong yet.

Potty training feels way harder than it should. However, that doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. Instead, it usually means the system is confusing your dog. What I hear all the time: “My dog knows better.” “They look guilty.” “They were doing fine… and then suddenly not.” Meanwhile, your dog is simply trying to follow […]

Dog visitor training is one of the most common struggles I see with clients. If your dog turns into a completely different dog the second someone walks through the door, you are not alone.
