YOUR DOG NEEDS STIMULATION

Too many dogs act out and destroy their owner’s furniture, appliances, wiring in cars…

All because they’ve got too much pent up energy.

This usually happens because of:

Poor mental and physical stimulation
Lack of breed specific exercise

In the first case, you need to do more than walks.

Dogs are efficient walkers, and when they’re tried of sniffing…

Their brain and body goes on autopilot.

So I hate to break it to you, but those 3 miles of walking don’t do much.

What you need to do is play intense engagement games that will mentally and physically drain your dog.

Some examples of this:

Tug of war
Scent work
Food or Toy puzzles
Water sports for dogs
Teaching them complicated tasks

These activities vent way more of your dog’s energy in 30 minutes, than hours of walking.

In the second case of breed specific exercise,

I’ll give you a real life case that involves my client Graham Beal and his dog, Honey.

She’s a working like Golden Retriever, or “Field Retriever”

Graham tried everything that he did with his other Golden, but it just wasn’t working.

Honey was still bouncing off the walls with energy.

I taught and explained to Graham that he needed to play games that fulfilled her breed’s genetic needs.

So we agreed to start scent and hunting work with her.

But not in the way you’re thinking.

All Graham had to do, was use a toy decoy and have honey search for it in his back yard.

This made Honey use her brain, body, and olfactory glands.

Which rapidly drained her energy.

After only 30 minutes of that, Honey would go inside and fall asleep.

So if you’re lost as to how you can or should manage your dog’s excess energy,

Or discourage them from shredding furniture and destroying property…

Implement this advice and you’ll save your sanity and wallet 😂.

Fleetwood's off-leash obedience

My client Kim Opdyke has achieved the goal most dog owners can only dream of.

Off-leash obedience with her Airedale, Fleetwood.

And if you know anything about this breed...

They're not the easiest to handle 😂.

Fleetwood was no exception to this.

He was everything under the sun:

👎 Stubborn
👎 Tenacious
👎 Counter surfing
👎 Non-existent recall
👎 Jumping the gun at feeding time

But after tons of dedication and consistency from Kim,

Paired with my online training...

We got him to the off-leash stage that you see in this video.

Now Kim can go anywhere with Fleetwood because she has wireless control over him with his E-collar.

And this isn't a correction tool, quite the opposite.

I trained Kim to use his E-collar as a communication device for his recall.

And now they both have the freedom to actually enjoy their time together in public without either one of them stressing.

They can actually live in the moment as soak up every moment of joy.

The coolest part about this?

It was all achieved via my live 1:1 online dog training sessions via Zoom.

Kim and I have never even seen each other in person.

Yet I got her the results that in-person trainers couldn't!

Want the same success that I helped her achieve?

Here's feedback from Kim Opdyke with regards to her and Fleetwood's E-collar training:

"I was always a little nervous about e-collars until we started training and I understood the way to use the collar and saw the benefits.

Fleetwood is excited every morning put on the collar and go outside!

This is his favorite thing to do …. and it wears him out completely.

As we know, Fleetwood likes to have a job. "

BHAKTI'S STORY
She was your typical Belgian Malinois puppy, that was bouncing off the walls with energy.

aka a Maligator 😂

My client hired me to fix some typical problems:

Recall
Jumping
Socialization
Leash Pulling
Getting her to sit
Getting her to do a long down
Creating a plan around her needs.

His goal is for her to be able to freely roam the yard with all sorts of heavy equipment and workers...

So early last year we started on this for 4 months and made some great progress.

(some of you will remember her name or face)

But then my client's life got busy,

So training paused for a while.

This year, I'm back training Bhakti.

I'm currently fixing some of her regression,

Which isn't much.

And I'm focusing on her recall with the e-collar.

Using it on the lowest stim level possible.

As a form of communication, to say "I'm calling you"

The reason?

So Bhakti can know when my client is calling her.

Listen carefully to the background noise in the video.

There's a bunch of welding, heavy machinery, construction, etc.

Bhakti won't be able to hear my client calling her from across the yard.

(for context... it's huge)

But the E-Collar act's as the perfect communication tool in this case.

And I must say, she's doing pretty well for just having resumed training after a long break.

Is she perfect? Nope

But I'm sure her recall is much better than most dog owners out there!

And under an insane amount of environmental distractions in the form of sights, sounds, smells, feels, people, machinery, etc.

HONEY'S TRANSFORMATION STORY

She used to pull like crazy on the leash and “stalk” other dogs on walks.

That’s exactly what my client Graham Beal hired me to sort out.

Because Honey isn’t your typical Golden Retriever.

She’s a working line, or “field” retriever.

So her hunting drive is intense.

And her energy is… a lot.

Which meant she could be overwhelming for Graham at times.

He adores her, but he needed a plan to:

📝 Manage her energy
📝 Stop the leash pulling
📝 Stop the “stalking” around other dogs
📝 And seriously level up her recall

Over the past 7 sessions, Graham and I have made real progress with Honey.

I showed Graham how to:

Use high-intensity engagement games that actually drain her pent up energy

Example: hunting and searching for a decoy toy

Break Honey out of that locked-in “stalking” mode when other dogs are nearby

Fix the leash pulling, so walks feel calm and enjoyable again

Build her recall (has seriously improved so far)

For only SEVEN SESSIONS…

Graham has made massive strides with Honey.

Because he’s a passionate, proactive, consistent dog owner.

And by the way…

All of this happened via my live 1:1 online sessions 😉

Here's Graham's full feedback:

" I’ve seen great progress with Honey since we started working together Marc Windgassen.

Dog walks that used to be a nightmare due to how she’d react to other dogs are now getting better every time.

There’s been lots of encounters when she would have normally gone into a “werewolf mode” reaction when she’s now not that bothered due to us putting into practice what you’ve taught me.

I think the training has also helped me understand her better and your observations given me insight into what makes her tick.

Looking forward to what the future holds and seeing the next steps in the development journey"

What is socialization for dogs?

Most of you actually have the wrong understanding or interpretation of socialization when it comes to dogs.

What you think it means:

"Socialization is when you make sure your dog is friendly with dogs and people"

What it actually means:

✅ Training your dog to behave neutrally to new dogs, people, sights, sounds, smells, environments, etc.

And why am I bringing this up?

Because people learn the wrong meaning for socialization and it makes their dog become reactive.

You made sure your dog interacted with every dog and person in sight,

Hoping that it would prevent them from barking or being aggressive.

But what happens now?

Your dog either:

Barks
Lunges
Or pulls towards

Any and every dog/ person they see.

And you're wondering to yourself:

"How the hell did this happen?"

Well... it happened because of you.

Here's the thing... I don't blame you.

You did exactly what you thought was the right thing...

It just so happens that what believed to be right was actually wrong.

But that's why I'm here to educate you.

So if the scenario I've described, has happened to you...

Now you know better!

YOUR DOG JUMPS AND IT SUCKS

They stain your clothes, knock you over, or make you drop something.

You've gotten used to constantly:

Bracing for their jump
Trying to dodge them
Apologizing on their behalf
Feeling utterly embarrassed
Warning guests, friends, and family

It was cute when they were younger,

But now it's annoying and frustrating.

And you just want it to STOP!

Many of my clients hired me to help them solve this exact problem.

And I got their dog to stop jumping in 30 days.

They couldn't be happier 😄

Let that sink in...

You've been putting up with their jumping for months or years at this point?

When you could invest 30 days and stop it for GOOD!

And be happy just like my clients...

Being able to actually enjoy and look forward to your dog's greeting,

Instead of dreading it.

Need to finally stop your dog's jumping?

Here's feedback from Kiva Connor after I helped her with Georgie, her Chihuahua.

"I cannot recommend Marc Windgassen highly enough!

As an expert dog trainer, Marc has completely transformed my experience as a pet owner.

I reached out to Marc when my 4-year-old chihuahua started to show some bad behavior.

My dog had never received any formal training before.

In just four short weeks, Marc’s incredible knowledge and patient guidance have made a revolutionary difference—not only for my dog, but for everyone who interacts with him.

Marc has a remarkable ability to understand dogs and, just as importantly, to teach owners how to see the world through their pet’s eyes.

He took the time to explain the “why” behind every step, which helped me build a stronger, more positive relationship with my dog.

The results have been nothing short of amazing. I can communicate with my sweet boy so much better now and he is a lot more relaxed too.

If you’re looking for someone who is truly passionate, skilled, and dedicated to helping both dogs and their owners thrive, Marc is the person you want by your side.

I plan to continue working with him—he’s just that good!"

YOUR DOG RUINS WALKS

It's the harsh reality you face everyday.

Walks used to be something you enjoyed,

But now you spend the entire time struggling with your dog's leash pulling.

You wen't from being able to:

Relax
Unwind
Clearing your head

To spending the entire time:

Stressed
Annoyed
Embarrassed
And in pain from your shoulder being yanked.

And now you either actively dread walks with your dog,

Or you avoid them altogether.

Let me be the person to tell you...

This is going to strain your relationship with your dog.

They're going to be more chaotic from the pent up energy,

Which means:

Shredding furniture
Chewing everything
Breaking expensive stuff
And annoying you even more.

This is a lose-lose scenario.

When you can easily stop it in 30 days.

97% of my clients have 😄

As a result, they actually enjoy morning and evening walks with their dog.

They no longer have to feel stressed, annoyed, or embarrassed.

And they quite literally thank me for it.

Because 1-month of training with me saved them years of unhappiness with their dog.

Here's feedback from Jarrod Best-Mitchell after I stopped his dog's leash pulling:

"I used to HATE walking my dog. Marc's training gave me a different approach towards walking my dog that is excellent!

My dog's behavior has improved significantly, MY behavior has improved as well.

I continue to practice the methods he's taught me to make sure the behaviors stick.

He also recommended a few tools - leashes etc that have added.

An AMAZING DOG TRAINER!

If you're considering him you would not regret it."

WATCH TILL THE END
Recall training with Graham Beal and his Golden Retriever, Honey.

Graham often walks with Honey in big open fields,

Which is great for her freedom and exercise.

But to ensure her safety, he has to make sure that Honey has a bulletproof recall.

For this specific application, the E-Collar is necessary.

It allows Graham to call Honey from a far distance,

And have her come immediately.

It's the best wireless option.

Would you believe that we used a really low stim level?

A human can barely even feel it.

But it's just enough to help Honey put 2 and 2 together.

And look how much faster her recall is in a matter of minutes.

She's happy, wagging her tail, and getting treats.

Another interesting fact...

This is Graham and Honey's first session with the E-collar.

They're obviously not 100% yet, but have made significant progress for their FIRST session with the collar.

As a trainer, it makes me happy to see this.

One of Graham's most important goals when he hired me,

Was to have a reliable off-leash recall when on farms and fields with Honey.

And he's seeing the progress in front of his very eyes.

AGE DOES NOT MATTER

When it comes to dog training, age is one of the biggest excuses.

Owners use it to justify not training their dog.

Because "they're old and set in their ways"
Because "it would take me too long"
Because "I'll just manage"

This is just flat out wrong in 99% of cases.

An old dog can learn new tricks.

Besides, why are you robbing yourself and your dog of living a higher quality of life?

Wouldn't living with them without:

Having to be frustrated
Having to waste precious time
Spend unnecessary money in damages

Be mutually beneficial?

I've taught dogs that are 11+ years old.

If they and their owners can do the right thing.

I want you to seriously ask yourself...

Why aren't you?

It's time you finally train your dog!

MEET RIGBY

He would constantly jump on his owner, Susan, and her grandkids.

And could borderline give sledding dogs stiff competition when it came to leash pulling.

These were 2 problems that my client Susan, needed to be solved ASAP.

And she still trained with me despite passing through several trainers before...

all because of how:

I tailor my training
I worked with her schedule
I offer post session summary PDFs
I offer post session Zoom recordings
I enabled her to do the actual training
I understood how to handle working breeds like her Airedale

And guess what...

She achieved her goals, PLUS MORE, after only 6 sessions.

When Susan and I were finished:

Rigby no longer jumped on her or the grandkids
Rigby no longer pulled on the leash
Rigby had a solid recall

And my favorite part 😂,

We accomplished this via my online sessions while being in two different countries.

This again is a testament to my live and 1:1 online dog training.

-------------------------

Here's Susan's full feedback:

"Rigby is our fourth Airedale and by far the most challenging.

We had taken him to 2 other trainers and the methods they used were not working on our high drive, high energy pup.

Marc explained that dogs like him needed to be trained while they are in the high drive, high energy state as if they listen to you then, when they are calm it is so much easier to deal with them.

Rigby used to jump on me and nibble me first thing in the morning like I was a puppy.

That took one session with Marc to curtail that behavior.

Every session since then huge strides were made until at our last session.

Marc said he couldn't believe that Rigby was the same dog he started with.

We have learned so much from Marc, and Rigby is a joy to live with now, not the whirling dervish he once was.

He caught on to every new lesson with his typical energetic manner and learned so quickly what we were asking him to do.

We are so thankful for Marc's assistance and highly recommend him."

MEET HONEY

She would constantly pull on the leash and 'stalk' other dogs during her walks.

Which is why my client Graham Beal hired me to help him fix.

You see, Honey isn't your average Golden Retriever.

She's a working line or "field" retriever.

Which means her genetic hunting instincts are super strong.

And her energy is out of this world.

As a result, she was a bit much for Graham to handle.

He loves her personality but needed to find a way to:

Manage her energy
Stop her leash pulling
Stop her from "stalking" dogs
And drastically improve her recall

Over the past 6 sessions,

Graham and I have made significant progress with Honey.

I taught Graham how to:

- Play high intensity engagement games with her, which drains her energy.

For example: Hunting and searching for a decoy toy

- Snap Honey out of her 'stalking' trance when on walks around other dogs.

- Stop her from pulling on the leash, so now walks are much more enjoyable.

- Improve her recall (work in progress currently)

For only SIX SESSIONS...

Graham has made tremendous progress with Honey.

Because he's a passionate, proactive, and consistent dog owner.

And by the way...

All of this was done via my live 1:1 online sessions 😉

I'M DIFFERENT

And the industry hates it 😅

All because:

I'm honest
I don't rip people off.
I don't use cookie cutter systems.
I actually listen to my clients' needs.
I tailor my training to my clients and their dogs

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

Because I deliver the results with the exact solutions and results they needed...

Without ever having an in-person session with them.

Everything was done live and online,

via my 1:1 video consultations.

And honestly I have made less money as a result of not using the traditional dog training model.

(for now)

But I'm willing to bet that my way pays off in the end because it's the feature.

Any of my clients on here can attest to how effective my online dog training is.

And what could be better than that!?

My goal is and will forever be to get YOU the results and solutions that YOU need.

And what's best for you and your dog.

Need to work with a trainer that actually listens to your problems and needs instead of shoving a template training plan down your throat?

Need to train from home at weird hours because you work at home?

Need a trainer that will finally provide the relief you've been dreaming about?

Need the same success that my clients have achieved?

Then I'm the right fit for you.
