Sure, tricks, agility and competitions are fun, but most of my students are more interested in traveling, vacationing, jogging, hiking, bringing their dogs to social events and walking their dogs to the post office. And they and their dogs get injured trying to do just these ordinary "pet dog" things.

That's why I wrote my first book of the Signal Training series, "Leading to Freedom," which is all about how to more safely, comfortably leash walk your dog without getting hurt and without traumatizing your dog.

If you know someone who might break a hip or get a head injury while walking a dog, please share this book with them.

If you are on the Affordable Care Act, call your senators today. Trumps "Big Beautiful Bill" is going to raise your health insurance by hundreds of dollars PER MONTH. Tell them to vote no.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) tells CNN’s Jake Tapper that Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill slashes health care and food aid, calling it a “political albatross” that harms millions to benefit the wealthy.

My first dog book is about to be published! I FEEL LIKE I'M IN LABOR!! I'm so excited about it. In a Signal Training series: "Leading to Freedom Head halters, calming caps, muzzles and games for safer loose leash walking" will be published by Calendar Islands Publishing available on several platforms, including Amazon in the next few days!

It's so fun. I love training people but it is going to save us so much time to just hand you this book and we can train and you don't need to listen to me blab blab blab! LOL

Oh it feels so GOOD to have it DONE!!!!! Yeehaw!!

Why do people feel that using food to train dogs is "cheating," but using force or punishers isnt cheating?

Fun to see how I've gotten to be a better trainer over the years! I watch it now and correct myself, but hey, it worked!

Hand targeting is a fun, practical, easy behavior to teach dogs. If you are just learning to hand target, please pay special attention to how I train the you...
