Luca, the Cane Corso puppy, recently completed his private training lessons at our Training Center. He did fantastic learning hie to sit, lie down, stay, come, leave it, and walk politely on a loose leash. He also has a fantastic foundation of early socialization. Great job, Luca! 🐾

Percy, the 2 year old Lab Mix, is currently enrolled in private training lessons for behavior modification at our Training Center. He's in training to address his reactivity to other dogs on leash. We are currently working on weaning him off of a prong collar, loose leash walking, desensitization to other dogs, and replacement behaviors for lunging on leash. He is making slow and steady progress. He's what we call "a lot of dog." He requires daily training sessions, along with productive outlets for his energy. We enjoy working with him!

“Stubborn” is rarely about your dog—it’s usually about missing motivation or communication.

At All Dogs Go to Kevin, we don’t blame the dog—we check the system.

Here’s what we focus on instead:
1. It’s not defiance. Dogs labeled “stubborn” often don’t understand what’s being asked—or they don’t find it rewarding enough to follow through.
2. Treats aren’t bribes—they’re paychecks. If a behavior stops getting paid, it’s normal for a dog to stop offering it.
3. Clarity is everything. Use rewards and consistent cues. The more black-and-white the expectations, the more confident your dog becomes.

What this means for you:
• Don’t assume your dog “knows better.” Ask yourself if you’ve made it worth it.
• Stick to one cue. Repeat only when necessary.
• Reinforce the good stuff—every time—especially when you’re building habits.

Training is a conversation, not a lecture. If your dog isn’t “listening,” it might be time to rephrase, not raise your voice.
