Do you wish your dog would listen to you?

Do you wish you could walk your dog without constant leash pulling?

Dog training takes time, effort, and patience.

But the rewards are invaluable.

Ed Lee’s Dog Training focuses on science-based, force-free dog training methods. These methods are the most effective way of addressing anxiety, fear, and aggression in dogs.

This means a healthier relationship between you and your dog.

Get ready to learn obedience, loose-leash walking, socialization, tricks, agility, disc sports, protection, and so much more.

I offer both in-person and online one-on-one training sessions or group sessions.

Don’t have time to train? I offer Pick-up and Train, which means I will pick up your dog and train them for you. At the end of each session, I will provide a break down of what I taught your dog.

Want to learn at your own pace? Visit my online store where you will find self-guided courses on a variety of topics. Courses come in video and text formats.

With years of experience in dog training, I have worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds. Because each dog has their own unique needs, I always create specialized programs that will best fit those needs.

Contact me for a free consultation so that we can make a plan that best fits you and your dog’s needs. I look forward to helping you and your pup!

It is important for every dog to know how to wait at the door without the need of a verbal cue. These default behaviours are important for impulse control and safety.

Myth: You need to be assertive for your dog to listen.

Think again! There's no need to yell, add pressure, or intimidate your dog to successfully perform behaviours. The truth is, you can achieve focused engagement with a fast response just from whispering to your dog.

Do you find yourself scolding your dog when they perform an undesired behaviour? Scolding is an example of aversive punishment, which has been proven to be ineffective and increases reactivity.

Using aversive punishment when your dog does something incorrectly increases the risk of your dog avoiding certain activities. With continued use of aversives, your dog will eventually avoid you! Think about it: If you yell at your dog for doing something wrong, they will become stressed. Now that your dog is stressed, why in the world would they want to find a better behaviour? Yelling at your dog for barking can also create the risk of reinforcing the behaviour, which can cause your dog to bark even more.

What can you do instead? Use a Non-Reinforcing Marker! A non-reinforcing marker is a word you use to let your dog know their unwanted behaviour results in nothing of value, or causes things of value to disappear. Because dogs seek reinforcement, they will problem solve and offer a variety of behaviours they think you are looking for. A dog trained this way will continue to offer behaviours until they get it "right.”

I show an example of this training method with Oda in the video below: She knew that touching box 245 was reinforcing so she continued to poke it. When she missed box 245 and hit a different box, I said "oopsie,” which is my non-reinforcing marker. When she heard that word, she knew no reward was coming. If I had yelled "NO!" she would have been too scared to continue. At one point, she missed box 245 several times. When that happened, I continued to say “oopsie.” She kept trying again with more urgency to find the right answer. The second she found box 245 again, I rewarded her!

Always avoid aversive punishment. Instead, teach your dog the skills to succeed. By doing so, both you and your dog will be less stressed.

Make sure you have words to mean “try again” for your non-reinforcing marker and above all else, be patient!
