Lucy has gone through a glass window to get to a dog that was passing by the front of her house.

This is huge for her.

It doesn’t take long for a dog to claim a space as their own.

Watching a dog she doesnt know walk right into her yard and wander around without her going crazy is a big deal.

Also notice she has no tools or leashes on. I just talk to her.

How she views things have changed.

Shout out to Aly and Mika for helping me test Lucy.

Does your dog go nuts in the house at dogs and people?

I can help.

From exploding at any dog she could see, to being free and unreactive and now having some nice obedience.

We were surrounded by dogs and I asked her to heel without grabbing the leash.

This is the second time she has heeled β€œoff leash”.

This is all verbal. I dont use the e collar for heeling.

It’s a common belief that in order to get an off leash heel you MUST use the e collar so the dog can not wear a leash.

I see people use the e collar constantly even when they are holding the leash.

This is a huge over complication of something very simple and people end up having to continually use the e collar just to walk the dog.

E collar is an amazing tool that is often over used.

You have seen the videos of lucy and her transformation so far and I have probably used stim around 10 times in the last 2 weeks.

Do things correctly for the dog and they happen so fast and easy.

Clarity is a huge part of a happy dog.

Il talk more about e collars soon.

Struggling with reactivity?

It doesn’t have to be that way forever.

This is Lucy before she came and then after a couple weeks here.

Some of the clips are a few days after she got here.

She is not β€œfixed” but she is off to a great start and she will be staying a couple more weeks.

You have to be able to get control of these dogs in the right way before the problems can really be addressed.

It should not take weeks or months or years to get a dog to stop exploding at dogs or people.

The owners have come to see Lucy a couple times and have witnessed a strange dog running up to her and her being totally calm.

They were blown away.

She’s a good girl and I’m excited for the next couple of weeks.

Are you struggling with your dog like this?

I can help.

Got the opportunity to work with some local detection teams.

This was really fun to watch and be a part of.

Different teams were searching for drugs, explosives, and bed bugs.

Is your dog reactive?

Frenchie transformation before and after!

Before Beans came he would explode at ⬇️
-Dogs
-Kids
-Some adults
-Strollers
-Motorcycles
-Cars

In this video you see him before with his owner and then again with his owner after his program.

She had been working on this problem for over a year and worked with multiple trainers.

Nothing was helping so she decided to take a chance and drive from arizona to vegas and allow me to train Beans.

Beans is actually a very sweet and social dog. He just needed some boundaries and clarity as well as the proper outlets and freedom.

I showed him I was a friend and then I got control of him at a high level.

Then I guided him and allowed him to fulfill his genetic desires in a healthy way.

When It came time to β€œdeal with the reactivity” I simply told him to stop.

This video is mostly the owner handling the dog because it doesn’t matter if he’s not reactive with me if the owner can’t handle him in real world.

The owner is extremely committed to his success and spent multiple days doing multiple sessions with him to ensure he continues down the right path.

Beans became somebody and he’s gonna be great.

Im very proud of him.

He’s so happy playing chase and catch.

Even cute dogs can have great obedience.

But dont forget his mood is #1.

Proof matters.

This is a bunch of verbal recalls with Star.

I fostered Star like 4 years ago and she comes to stay every once in a little while.

It’s amazing how well she listens.

I can take her out and let her hunt lizards and as soon as I call her she comes and I dont remember the last time I used the ecollar with her.

Some people get stuck having to constantly rely on the tools.

Theres a better way.

Is your dog uncontrollable around other dogs?

Before Beans came he would explode at dogs he saw.

In this video I show him before and then his time with me and multiple interactions with strange people and dogs.

Many say β€œnever let dogs meet on leash”

In this video you can see I do this.

Every situation is different but in a controlled enviornement with the right dogs this can be beneficial.

Beans is actually very social and likes to play with dogs, he just needed to be taught the right way to do things and that he doesnt need to go crazy when he sees a dog.

He isn’t done yet but he has made huge progress.

Can you recall your dog?

How about in public or when there is a rabbit?

Yesterday was lucy’s first recall lesson.

In the first part it was the morning session and the second part was in the afternoon same day.

As you can see there are at least 3 rabbits and lucy is on the scent trail. I honestly dont know if she visually saw them. She gets super into her nose.

This is excellent for her first day but it is by no means her highest aroused state.

I will have her recalling off dogs soon.
And she goes crazy for dogs.

People are told you have to use food for this stuff and do a ton of reps and practice it for months to get a β€œsolid” recall and the dog will still chase prey and blow them off. Then they are told to β€œkeep it up”. β€œIf you keep at it you will have a great recall one day”

This is a LIE. If you do things incorrectly, especially for a long period of time, you will make things worse, not better.

EVERY dog that goes thru my program is able to recall off prey and dogs within the first week. And I never use food to teach it. AND I have video proof all over my page, not just words.

How is this possible?

Understand important concepts and apply them correctly to the dog that is in front of me.

She is on a flexi leash with a prong collar and she also has the e collar on.

No stim on any of these recalls. All verbal.

I didn’t do any β€œconditioning” of these collars.

ALSO look at her mood. She is happy and free. After I recall her she goes back to being free. She is not glued to me.

Need a REAL recall?

Astro came back for a visit!

He got some new gear so we made sure everything was fitted properly.

I always tell my clients that even after the program I am here to help and make sure the transition home goes smoothly.

There is a lot of info to cover after a dog goes through a program so I love when owners reach back out for sessions to clarify things and get to the point they can live a great life with their pet and have awesome control.

When Astro came into the house he grabbed a green ball and jumped onto the love sac like he never left.

Transfering the skills to the owners.

This is one of the most important parts of the process.

When you work with a dog for a period of time you build a special bond and working relationship.

Then when the owners come, the dog needs to see they now have the same communication skills.

In my program I try to keep things very simple so the owners have success and can get to a point where they are just living and talking with their dog.

After the program ends they have my continued support, so if they ever need another lesson or help with something new, we take care of it.

Are you ready to build that working relationship with your pet?

Would your dog actually bite?

This is why proper testing is so crucial to the training process.

You have to know why the aggression is happening and how far the dog will go.

I have tested many dogs and each one is unique and they all act differently when put in these scenarios.

I dont post all my sessions like these.

Its easy to watch these small clips and try to figure out what im doing and how to recreate it but this is a bad idea.

There is so much going on here and this is a tiny peek behind the curtain.

Make sure you have a professional that shows proof of handling cases like this evaluate your dog safely.

I learn so much from each dog I test as well as help from great mentors like Matt Welch

Also my evaluation sessions are FREE.

It was super cool that Loki was able to open up in his time here and actually decided to play ball outside for the first time.

This was with his owners on pickup day, he played with them as well.

They got to see their anxious/nervous boy open up and show his confidence.

Moments like these are super special.

Obedience and play.

Now that I took the time to build up some really strong play with Beans I can add in some obedience.

Many will do the opposite, teach the dog some obedience, maybe with food, and then try to add in a toy.

These things are not the same. Not to mention, Beans didnt know how to play an actual game with an objective.

He would chase the toy and then take it and chew on it by himself and he didnt have a clear understanding of the β€œout” command.

Now he knows how to play and he is a savage with chase and catch.

The stage is set and I am going put some next level control on him while having fun and keeping his wild personality in tact.

He has been here almost 2 weeks and this is my first obedience session like this.

He knew some basic obedience, but not how I do it.

He’s going to be a little rockstar.

If you have a small dog like Beans and think they would never listen or have great obedience I can help.

Chase and catch with beans in the rain.

Before he came he was sturggling to play the game correctly.

He would take the toy and go and chew on it by himself.

Being able to play a specific game correctly is super important to training.

I’ve got his recall nice and now he can really run and be free and now I will clean up his out and he will be a pro.

I’m gonna teach him possesion games soon too.

If you wanna play better with your dog and need help let me know.

Making use of the street market to see what makes Beans reactive at times.

He actually did really well and he’s been here for a week.

He was neutral most the time and the only thing that he reacted to was a couple dogs.

I didnt take him here to fix his reactivity, it was more to see where he was at and why he becomes reactive.

Only thing I have worked on with him so far is recall.

Wait until his obedinece is up to par.

I love working with small dogs.

This is from Beans second session doing recalls.

This session was all verbal recall with no stim or help from the leash.

Look at his head snap and instant recall even when there are people cutting stuff and jack hammering.

This wasn’t taught with food.

Many people think and teach to always start with food and positive reinforcement and then add aversives later to β€œcorrect” the dog for blowing you off.

There is a much better way, especially for something as important as recall.

I have video of every dog that goes thru my program getting a solid recall in DAYS.

Some of these dogs are reactive, some are very aggressive.

If you do things right, this stuff doesn’t take months or years.

I will have many more videos of beans recalling off things.

If you need help with recall reach out and book a Free evaluation session to get your dog started on a better path to freedom.

After 4 weeks Loki finally played chase and catch at the park!

He would play at home for around a minute but he would NEVER play out in public.

I tried many times, but he just preferred to people watch and sniff.

It’s important to pay attention to the dog and pick up on little hints they give us.

Today I noticed he was feeling playful so I broke out the Little green ball and he was all in!

Making full throws and he was running to get it and bring it back.

Notice how his tail is high and how happy he is.

It’s so good for dogs to run and play and have purpose.

Some dogs play naturally, others take some work and skill to bring it out.

Loki has become somebody.

A very nice review from a client!

I’m always grateful when people trust me with their pets and I’m able to get the dog to a much better place.

It’s my goal to enhance the emotional state of the dog while getting a high level of control in the real world.

Then I can show the clients how to maintain this while growing their relationship with their dog in their own unique way.
