Dog Parents are WAY Happier if their Dog doesn't try to KILL the UPS guy!

No kidding.

If you have to deal with an aggressive dog, you know what I'm talking about.

The doorbell rings, and here we go again...
.."men's best friend" goes ballistic and tries to KILL the UPS guy or to EAT the Door Dash guy - together with the delivery!

That's a clear NO BUENO!

Not only will it get you into deep trouble if too many delivery guys "went missing" right at your doorstep, it's also super annoying having to calm down a freaked-out dog every time someone dares to walk by your house.

Luckily, our clients experience a complete transformation of their once aggressive dogs within 2-3 weeks of working with us.

That's way better than digging a hole in the desert every other week thanks to Fido's short temper, right?

If the scenario above doesn't seem too far-fetched, talk with us...
..because We Empower Dog Parents!

Where are you located?
That's usually one of the first questions people ask. It makes perfect sense. You want someone to train your dog, and this someone can't be too far away.
Not so with us. With us, things are different. And that's a good thing. The video explains why.

Do you know why they say not to use an e-collar without expert instruction?

Watch the video to see how coach Olivia explains to our client Leah the correct fit of an e-collar.

Despite often being falsely called a shock collar - false because it doesn't "shock" anyone (!) - it's called an e-collar because it works like a muscle stimulant tense unit.

That's why it must sit on your dog's neck muscles.

You'd like our help to show you the correct use of an e-collar?

Do you remember when you last time had to learn something new?

Did you choose a quiet place where you felt comfortable or a crowded coffee shop with hundreds of people?

Your dog isn't any different.

Learning new rules and skills is hard for your dog.

Why not make it easier by limiting the number of distractions your dog has to deal with?

The best place to start training is always at home - with no strangers around.

So your dog can focus on you and the new behaviors you want to teach.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do,
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Or for your trash for that matter!

Watch the video to see how coach Emily shows our client Dawn how to stop her trash-stealing bad boy Beans to steal trash.

Poor Beans seems pretty puzzled about the trash can's magic!

But no Harry Potter is sending an "Expelliarmus" disarming spell involved. It's Dawn sending Beans a remote "no" - pure and simple.

You might feel your dog isn't listening out of bad intentions - like your dog is just a "bad" dog.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Remember, your dog doesn't speak "human."

To make your dog listen, you must communicate what's OK and what's not in a way your dog understands.

Something you'll learn fast with the help of an expert.

Our clients often see this as a game changer and a first step to making "peace" with their dogs.

The shocking truth about shock collars 😱

Watch the video and see dog behavior coach Nate performing a shocking experiment with our client Jay...
..by using a shock collar on him!

Only to get to a shockingly boring result, with Jay describing the experience as "just a little tingling."

That's what a dog feels when trained with the help of a shock collar.

And because a shock collar doesn't actually "shock" anyone, they're actually called e-collar.

That's a real shocker!

You'd like to learn the correct use of shockingly effective training tools too?

You are not a dog trainer?

Yes you are, if you're training with us!

Watch the video to see coach Haley checking with our client Will how the last few days were with his dog Luigi.

"Big deal" you might think now...
..it's a big deal in deed, as you'll learn how we are different and why we have an almost 100% success rate.

Training with us, YOU are the trainer, and we are your coaches guiding you from the sidelines.

This way, you'll learn how to control your dog and to bring peace to your home - even long after your active training with us.

Talking about teaching a man - or a woman - to fish!

Is your dog always paying attention to everything but YOU?

Then making your dog "focus" to is the name of the game.

Without focusing on you, there's no way to make your dog listen to your commands - DUH!

In the video, dog behavior coach Miguel shows our client Alyssa to practice "focus" with her dog Lilly...
..and not being distracted by Miguel's presence made things sooo much easier for Lilly!

After a bit of practice Lissy's eyes were all on Alyssa 😍

You'd like our help to teach your dog to focus on you - and on you only?

It's not the dog. It's YOU!

That's dog training 101 with coach Holli.

In the video, dog behavior coach Holli explains why there'll never be a conversation like "your dog is a mess."

Simply put, there are no messed-up dogs!

Like it or not, when dogs don't behave as they're supposed, it's 100% the dog parent to blame - for not doing dog parenting.

Most dog owners want to do their job right - but don't have the tools and the knowledge.

That's when an expert's help is needed.

You'd like our help learning how to do your job as a dog parent the right way?

Do you think positive reinforcement means "bribing" your dog for good behavior?

Wrong!

In the video dog behavior coach Miguel explains that positive reinforcement means "marking" good behavior with a sound and then rewarding your dog - with a treat, toy, or praise.

Do you always need to reward your dog for good behavior?

Nope, once your dog understands a command like sit, down, or stay, it'll become second nature w/o the need for a reward.

You can still shower your dog with praise for being such a good boy or girl though 😅

You'd like our help to teach your dog obedience commands w/o committing bribery?

Walking your dog is a nightmare?

Is your dog constantly pulling the leash? It looks more like your dog is walking YOU?

Watch the video to see how dog behavior coach Nate shows our client Clair Gardner the beginnings of "heel" training.

His dog Maggie needed to stop pulling the leash asap - he was in a cast during training with Nate!

In a heartbeat, Maggie walked cool as a cat next to Clair 😅

Your dog runs for the hills the second you open the front door?

Then you know it's NO fun to chase after your dog in panic mode!

The video shows how dog behavioral coach Olivia helps our client Sam to teach his dog Enzo that an open door isn't an invitation to leave the house.

As you can see, Enzo learned his lesson. He's a good boy and waits until he's allowed to leave.

You'd like our help to teach your dog to be a good boy - or girl - too?

Let’s give props to Mindy from Alabama and her puppy Buttercup who is working on crate training. They are currently in our Advanced Program. Learning that the crate is a safe & comfortable place to chill and relax is such an important skill for ours dogs to have; whether you need or choose to make the crate a part of your dogs’ structure every day or just need to rely on it for certain circumstances, it is a life skill that every dog should have.

Kitana owned by Eli from Tampa is happy to relax on spot after the hard work she put into this morning’s session. They are very committed to our program and we’ll on their way to meeting their goals. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
