Watch closely. Can’t tell when the e-collar is active? That’s the point. I’m not shocking my dog. I’m communicating with him. The tool I use works like a TENS unit: low-level, muscle stimulation, used in physical therapy. It’s quiet. Calibrated. Gentle. Adjustable. Clear. Layered into our training like a second language. This isn’t punishment. It’s conversation. We’re not using fear. We’re building clarity. Don’t confuse tools with abuse. We’re not shocking…we’re speaking. Clarity over chaos. Always.

Teaching discipline takes discipline.
It’s not just about what you expect from your dog.
It’s about what you expect from yourself.

➤ The discipline to be consistent, even when you’re tired.
➤ The discipline to be fair, not reactive.
➤ The discipline to lead without letting your emotions run the show.
➤ And the discipline to stay educated—because better humans make better handlers.

This work isn’t just for your dog. It’s for you too.
And that’s where the transformation really happens.

If your dog can’t reliably sit, come, or stay focused in the real world, nothing else matters.

Everyone wants a dog that listens off leash, walks calm in public, or pulls off cool tricks. But let’s be real…none of that sticks without a solid foundation.

The five basics…sit, down, place, come, and heel…are the training. They shape how your dog handles the world, and how you handle your dog. Skip them, and you’re building on sand.

Want results that hold up when life gets messy? Start here. Master the mundane.

Tired of rearranging your life around your dog’s behavior?
Skipping trips, dodging walks, avoiding visitors… it adds up.
You didn’t get a dog to feel trapped.

Now imagine this instead:
Spontaneous outings. Calm walks. Freedom to include your dog anywhere, anytime—without anxiety or chaos.

That’s what training does.
It gives you your life back.
And gives your dog a shot at actually being included.

What are you choosing?

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Birch & Sage!
Today we’re soaking up the sunshine, spending slow, grounding time with the dogs, and letting a batch of sun tea brew on the porch.
Whether your babies have two legs or four paws, we see you, we celebrate you, and we hope today fills your heart.

You deserve the peace, the presence, and the paw prints.

This dog used to lunge, bark, and lose it on walks. Now? Calm, focused, and right by our side even around triggers. Real training. Real results.
