We start Misty's tune-up week in the training room to assess her baseline obedience. I correct her for blowing off the place command, emphasizing that she already knows the behavior but needs accountability. We work on place, recall, and down stay, using affection as a reward for compliance and corrections for mistakes. I introduce distractions like other dogs and leaving the room to test her reliability. The session ends with a solid down stay, and I plan to increase difficulty throughout the week.

We're down in the field today with Jaxon, working on his recall, off-leash heel, and down stays. His owner's main complaint was that he wouldn't recall when on a smell, so we're using a beep tone to get immediate recall. We also focus on proofing his stay command in new environments, using e-collar corrections and coping skills. We emphasize not overcomplicating training—just recall and stay. We counter-condition him to accept affection without breaking commands, and we work on place proofing for potty training and heel work for a calm, connected walk. Jackson is learning to prioritize his handler over distractions, and we reward him with free time after focused work.

We take Benny, our seven-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, to Home Depot for his last outing before going home. We demonstrate how we use an e-collar with tone and stim to reinforce heel, stay, and recall in a public setting. We show how to maintain a calm down stay around distractions like people and carts, and explain the importance of accountability and proofing commands before taking them public.

Polite greetings with Toby! He’s so friendly but the lunging and jumping can be a lot for his owners to manage. This puts context to “stay!”

We talk about teaching the place command using a raised cot, emphasizing clear boundaries and leadership. We demonstrate how to correct and direct the dog with an e-collar, moving from mild to firmer corrections as needed, and explain why this approach is more effective than treat-based methods for long-term reliability.

Benny is an off leash dog now!

All the way from Dewey Beach, Delaware please welcome back Misty for a one week refresher!

We work with Dobby, a dog who has broken out of crates for almost a decade, to enforce structure using the place command and crate training. We demonstrate how to recall him from the crate, correct mistakes like offering alternative behaviors, and use pressure to motivate listening. The goal is to show that with consistent training, even a stubborn dog can learn to follow commands and stay on place or in the crate until released.

We're out with Jaxon at a new location, focusing on heel work as a leadership exercise. We talk about how heel means walking politely at your left side, and we use collar stimulation followed by a beep to correct deviations. We work through moments of conflict where Jackson tests boundaries, and we praise him when he's in the right position. We also practice down and stay commands, reinforcing that he knows what to do but needs to choose to comply.

11/12/2026

We're working with Lulu on heel training, teaching her to walk nicely on the left side. We use a long line and short leash, with a recall button to guide her back when she deviates. She used to be scared and hide under cars, but now she's learning to stay focused and brave. This will help her owner enjoy calm walks in Washington, DC without pulling or running away.
