The timing of your reward and how you define your dog’s recall is vital for achieving both stability and real-world reliability. We specialize in achieving reliable off-leash recall. Need help? We’re here for you!

Your true superpower as your dog’s trainer has less to do with treats and much more to do with timing. Specifically, the timing of when you give or withhold LTTA: Look, Talk, Touch, and Access to valuable items or locations. Before giving your dog access to what they want, ask yourself two important questions:

1. What is my dog’s current behavior?
2. What is my dog’s current state of mind?
When you become intentional with what you reward, allow, or interrupt, your communication becomes much clearer and your dog’s behavior starts to make a lot more sense. We specialize in helping owners better understand, communicate with, and train their dogs in a way that creates calmer, healthier behavior. If you need help reinforcing the right behaviors and prevent the wrong ones, we’re here to help.

Watch as Matt shapes the beginning of what’s going to become a nice heel with Odin. An important note: notice how we begin with a short, loose leash (not a tense one), we pick a side and stick to it (the left side), and we introduce and progress the behavior indoors before expecting success outside around distractions.

The very first time I met Jeeves, we embraced in a long, close, tight hug. I was overwhelmed with a warm, welcoming feeling that made it clear I belonged right there in that moment and in that place with him. I belonged with him so much that it only made sense to marry his mother, Stephanie, four years later.

That’s what Jeeves did best for everyone he came into contact with: he made them feel warmly welcomed and gave them a clear sense of belonging. To honor my sweet boy, and in hopes that Jeeves’ trademark feeling would reach all who walk through our doors, a Jeeves mural at our entrance was a no-brainer.

I want to send a very special thank you to Aaron Williams (highly recommended) for portraying those warm, welcoming feelings through art in a way that aligns so perfectly with our brand.

Though Jeeves was only with us for a short time, by getting to know him specifically as an individual, he taught me so much about myself and about dogs in general. Through those lessons, he’ll always be with me.

Long Live Jeeves

We take great pride in training not only the dog but also educating the human. Watch as we break down the mechanics of the loose leash walk step-by-step for Brownie’s human before heading outside.

While this isn’t expected to make your walks perfect, it should help reduce both the intensity and frequency of leash pulling. Be mindful of how much strength you use: not so much that you spin your dog’s entire body around, but not so little that the pop is meaningless or unmotivating. Also pay attention to the friction between the concrete and your dog’s paw pads. As you learn this technique, practice first in the grass to help avoid abrasions. Questions?

In the final stages of e-collar training, it’s important to adjust the level based on the dog’s response and ensure the punishment matches the crime. With any e-collar correction, prioritize quality over quantity because the end goal should be to eliminate the need to correct the dog. So, when you must correct, make sure it counts.

Next, the punishment should match the crime. You wouldn’t go to prison for speeding or get a ticket for assaulting someone. In that same spirit, if a dog is noncompliant with an obedience command, I’ll use an effective but lower e-collar level. But if I’m correcting for aggression, I’ll use a significantly higher level to ensure the dog walks away from the behavioral attempt thinking, “that sucked.”

When in new situations, make it a habit to give your dog clear direction that keeps them mentally connected to you. This helps build a well-socialized dog instead of allowing them to spiral through fear and/or overarousal and continue progressing in the wrong direction. Guidance and structure in new environments create confidence, clarity, and better decision-making over time.

One of the biggest mistakes dog owners make is allowing guests to poison their dog’s behavior, their relationship with strangers, their mental health, and even the relationship they have with their owner. If your dog becomes overaroused around guests, pushy, anxious, territorial, distrustful, or reactive, there needs to be structure and advocacy from you, not chaos and freedom.

When guests come over, both the dog and the humans need direction. For the guests, the rule is simple: no talk, no touch, no eye contact. This prevents reinforcing overexcited behavior and also helps remove the pressure many dogs feel when strangers immediately invade their space. A lot of dogs are not actually aggressive, they’re overwhelmed, conflicted, suspicious, or anticipating uncomfortable social pressure.

Something else that’s extremely important is managing your expectations of your guests. Not everyone is capable of following instructions. Some people cannot help themselves from baby talking, reaching for the dog, staring at them, or trying to “win them over.” If a guest is unwilling or unable to follow the rules, the answer is simple: the dog does not get access to them. Sometimes putting the dog away is the most responsible and productive choice you can make.
