Most accurate statement ever

"I feel bad putting him in the crate", they say while their dog develops separation anxiety and threatens their own future in their home because it is destroying things and going to the bathroom all over the house.

"I feel bad using a prong collar", they say, but their dog is so hard to walk that they just don't take the dogs on walks anymore.

"I feel bad using the e-collar", they say even though it would allow their dog much more freedom.

"I feel bad sending her away for training" even though a fresh, structured, and stable environment under expert care is going to be the catalyst to change their life for the better.

Dogs thrive and make such life altering changes in my program due, in part, to the fact that my feelings aren't getting in the way of giving the dog what it needs to improve their life.

Don’t let your emotions cloud your judgement. Crate training your dog is essential to their wellbeing. You are doing a huge disservice to your dog if you don’t crate train them.

This is how I “walk my dog” every day. I normally do this once a day on top of taking her out real quick to p*e. These big walks normally last from 30 minutes to an hour but normally on the shorter end. If you have a high energy dog, basic functional training is very important to have because then you have the ability to add “games” to your walks. And you can fulfill your high energy dog for the day in as little as 30 minutes.

We’re back with more FREE CONTENT! Today we’re going to start covering how to teach a dog to heel. Heeling is when your dog walks right next to you and understands that they need to remain in that position and not walk in front, behind or far to your side. Their front legs must be in line with your legs. Heeling is a complex behavior so we split the training into 2 parts (entry and movement). Today we cover the entry. PM to train with me in person

A clip from a session with Corbin and Lisa about teaching the place command. As I’ve said before, the place command is an essential for all dogs. It improves their impulse control and has a variety of practical uses. To train with me, send me a DM and we’ll set something up.
