You don’t need a 6-week course to stop your dog from jumping.

You need a 5-minute routine that fits into your daily (albeit) busy routine.

You finish a day's work and you're tired.

Your dog launches at you, claws on your shirt, mud on your pants.

And you become annoyed.

This isn't your dog being 'bad'

They’re excited, happy, and desperate for your attention.

So the job is simple:

Show them there is a right way and a wrong way to get that attention.

Right way: sit calmly in front of you.

Wrong way: jump at your chest like a flying squirrel.

When they sit, you pay them with a high value reward and affection.

Food, toy, or whatever your dog values most.

When they jump, you have to make it uncomfortable and annoying for them.

One small step forward into them so they lose balance for a second and think...

“That didn’t work.”

Prefer to use a leash for more control?

Every time they jump, one quick and appropriate sideways tug –

just enough to knock them off balance, and give them a tactile "NO"

Or you step on the leash while they sit.

If they try to jump, they hit the end of the leash and correct themselves.

Additionally, you reward every “random” sit during the day.

Even if you didn't ask for it.

Dog sits next to your desk, at the door, in the kitchen – they get rewarded.

Total time: under five minutes a day, folded into what you already do.

At the front door. Walking to the car. While the coffee machine is running.

You’re teaching one clear rule:

“Jumping gets you nothing. Sitting gets you everything.”

Most importantly, be consistent wit your corrections and rewards.

Your dog will end up choosing the behavior that pays better.

You don’t need more time to train your dog.

You need to stop hiding behind your 'busy' calendar.

Harsh? Maybe.
True? Definitely.

Most executives I speak to tell me the same story:

“Back-to-back calls, travel, kids…

I just don’t have the time to train my dog properly.”

So training gets pushed to “when things calm down” – which is code for “never”.

The reality: dogs don’t need two-hour sessions.

They need clear short, consistent, and structured sessions.

In the video you see my son playing fetch with our Rottweiler, Elena.

Before she gets her beloved Kong, she has to earn it:

sit, down, eye contact, release.
Each rep takes 10–20 seconds.

The entire “session” is over in a few minutes.

That’s not a training day.
That’s just everyday life, structured with intention.

If you run a company, a team, or a busy household, this should sound familiar.

You already know how to set standards and hold people accountable.

So why not do the same for you and your dog?

You can start here:

Replace 10 minutes of scrolling with 10 minutes of deliberate reps with your dog.

Short bursts, 2–3 times a day.

Attach commands to routines you already do:

'sit' before the door opens
'down' before the food bowl
'place' while you answer emails.

Make the reward non-negotiable:

They MUST do what you say, in order to get it.

Do this and your dog gets 10–15 minutes of real training daily,

without a single extra block in your calendar.

The problem was never time.

It was the story you told yourself to avoid the commitment and the challenge.

You don’t need a free schedule to train your dog.

You need to finally commit.

If your dog is already turning your limited free time into stressful, reactive walks,

Winnie’s 4-session turnaround should be a wake-up call.

Winnie is the dog in the photo.

Not aggressive.
Not “dangerous”.

Just the classic “she only wants to say hi” case.

In practice, that meant this:

High-pitched barking at every dog in sight, out of frustration.

Lunging and yanking on the leash to get to them.

Her owner’s shoulder took the hit.

More than once she was pulled off balance and towards the road.

For a busy professional with a full calendar, this was not “cute energy”.

It was a daily safety risk and a constant drain on her mental and physical bandwidth.

How did it get there?

Improper socialization, with good intentions.

Winnie had been allowed to greet every dog because her owner genuinely believed that was the right thing to do.

Every pull towards another dog was accidentally rewarded.

Over time, that created a simple pattern:

See dog → explode with excitement → drag the human.

This is not a criticism of my client.

She was innocently unaware that she was training reactivity, not friendliness.

When I explained what was really happening, she saw her role in it immediately.

And she did what serious owners do:

She took responsibility and decided to act now, not “when it calms down”.

We started structured training.

✚ Clear rules.
✚ Controlled exposure

✔️ Calm behavior rewarded
🅧 Reactive behavior corrected

In just four sessions, Winnie’s behavior changed significantly.

Less barking.
Less lunging.
Walks that felt like a real break again, not constantly having to stress.

No more "Here we go again 🙄"

Now imagine the alternative:

No intervention, another 6–12 months of the same pattern, stronger habits, stronger dog, more stress, more risk.

All under the label: “She just wants to say hi.”

If you recognize your own dog in Winnie, you don’t have a small quirk.

You have a behavioral problem that is already costing you time, focus, and peace of mind.

Addressing your dog’s reactivity early is not a nice-to-have.

It's a necessity.

Even stubborn and bratty Frenchies can be well behaved.

Which means, you have no excuse.

The French Bulldog in this video is named Sultan.

And he acts just like his name.

Everyone is his servant.

And he looks at you like a peasant 😂

But that doesn’t stop me from getting him to behave and do all sorts of tricks for me.

Why??

Because I used my 3 Pillars of Dog Training:

Engagement
Trust
Drive

With these pillars, I have Sultan wrapped around my and my client’s finger.

Especially when his precious treats are involved.

And I achieved all of this without diminishing his personality.

(Check the comments for a photo of him looking at me with judgement)

So if my client can have his bratty and posh Frenchie, well behaved.

What’s you’re excuse?

I think I know the answer…

You don’t know where to begin.

You’re so busy that you don’t know when to squeeze in the time.

But here’s the kicker 😆

So was my client, and trust me, he’s an extremely busy person.

So how did he succeed?

He followed my training plan, that I built and tailored to his specific needs and busy schedule.

And I can provide you with the same thing.

So now I ask the question again…

What’s your excuse 🤔😆?

Repost ♻️ to help other busy dog owners that need a training plan to fit their busy schedule.

P.S. Sultan is one of my favorite Frenchies ever.

He made me fall in love with the breed.

Stop lying to yourself

If you’re too “busy” to train your dog for 10 minutes a day, you’re already paying for it somewhere else.

You’d never ignore a small problem in your company or at your high level role

And hope it magically disappears.

Yet that’s exactly what happens with your dog’s behavior.

The jumping “I'll fix that next week”.

The leash pulling “that I’ll fix next month”.

The barking “I’ll deal with when I finally have time”.

Every day you delay, the habit gets stronger.

Every week you delay, your dog gets worse.

Every month you delay, the solution gets more expensive.

I see it every day in my work with busy professionals and business owners:

What started as a small nuisance has turned into a safety risk, constant stress, and a dog nobody enjoys walking.

Here’s the hard truth: you’re not short on time, you’re short on priorities.

You mean to tell me you don’t have 5–10 minutes a day for the animal that depends on you for everything?

Five focused minutes a day is often the difference between:

A calm dog that listens…

And a stressful dog that runs your household.

And yet the story I hear on repeat is:

“After this project.”
“After this quarter.”
“After things slow down.”

Things won’t “slow down”.

They haven’t so far, and they won’t next year either.

You don’t need two free hours, fancy equipment or a perfect schedule.

You need a clear plan, consistent micro-sessions, and someone to hold you accountable.

If you truly love your dog, stop bullsh*tting yourself.

Wake up and smell the coffee:

The longer you wait, the higher the price you pay in time, money and stress.

If you’re ready to stop procrastinating, book a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 30-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 with me

And get a training plan tailored to you and your dog’s specific needs:

so you can finally solve those behavioral problems:

Your dog won’t change until you do.

IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP❗️
The Force-Free Lobby Is Moving Fast.

Dog training is under attack, not by science, not by welfare concerns, but by ideology disguised as ethics!

A new “Joint Standards of Practice” was just released by APDT, IAABC, KPA and others.
If this becomes the accepted “standard of care,” here’s what follows:
Tool bans
Licensing controlled only by force-free organizations
Elimination of R- and P+ from professional training
Criminalization or disqualification of balanced trainers
Courts and legislators using THEIR paperwork as the only definition of “humane”

This is not accidental.
It is a coordinated move to take over the entire profession and silence everyone who isn’t “science based”!
And once this framework is adopted, reversing it will be impossible.

We need to step up now.
Not next year.
Not when a ban hits your city. Now❗️

If you haven’t joined IACP you need to do it.

I also believe there has to be a Balanced Training Coalition!!!
A unified front of trainers, working-dog professionals, behaviorists, and organizations who refuse to let ideology rewrite the laws of learning or erase the methods that keep people and dogs safe.

Every day you ignore your dog’s aggression...

You are gambling with your health, your money, and your reputation.

Dog aggression does not “stay the same”.

It compounds.

Every lunge.
Every growl.
Every “it’s fine, he’ll grow out of it”.

Each one makes it more likely that your dog hurts you, hurts themselves, or injures another dog.

And if you are a busy and experienced professional, you know exactly what happens next:

hospital bills, legal risk, insurance issues, and a very public problem you absolutely did not need.

Let me give you a concrete example.

This is Lana.
She’s a Rottweiler.

Genetically, she is more likely to develop dog aggression than many other breeds.

Her owner is an extremely busy professional.

Full calendar, real responsibilities, very limited time.

Yet he made one non-negotiable decision:

“We deal with this now, while she’s a puppy.”

We started early.
We exposed her safely to other dogs.
We built impulse control.

We interrupted and nipped any signs of reactivity before they became permanent habits.

Why?

Because he plans to walk her in public.

And he is a responsible owner.

He cannot afford a 40kg dog starting fights on the pavement and dragging his name and career into the mess with her.

That’s the part many high performers miss:

You think you’re postponing a small dog problem.

In reality, you’re postponing a future crisis.

Start early enough and you can fix your dog's reactivity.

Wait too long and you can only really 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦 it with coping strategies and constraints.

It becomes risk management, not real freedom.

So here’s the uncomfortable truth:

if your dog is already reacting to other dogs, this is not a “later” task.

It is a risk you are carrying every single time you clip on the leash.

Do not self-diagnose.

Work with a trainer who specializes in dog reactivity and understands the stakes for high-responsibility professionals.

But it is also the safest move you can make for your dog and for yourself.

If you know someone whose dog is “great… except around other dogs”,

P.S. Dog aggression never fixes itself.

Your dog isn’t being “stubborn” off leash – they're testing your leadership.

Busy professionals, chief officers, business owners know how to lead people.

Yet one small dog off leash can make them feel completely out of control.

On leash, the dog listens.

Off leash, it suddenly develops “selective hearing” and a very strong opinion.

From the dog’s perspective, this isn’t disobedience.

It’s a simple test: 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘵, 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘨?

Most smart dogs will push back at first.

They want to see whether your rules are consistent or negotiable.

That’s exactly what my client’s French Bulldog, Sultan, did when we reached his off-leash training months ago.

And yes – during this session, the leash stayed on for safety.

(Lots of stuff going on in the house)

But every command was given as if the leash didn’t exist.

He had to respond to my voice and hand gestures.

You can see his typical Frenchie attitude in this photo

Here is what changed everything:

I leveraged his food drive so that obedience was clearly worth it.

I repeated the same structure training until his ex*****on of commands became reliable and automatic, not optional.

The result: the same dog that happily ignored recall is now reliable under pressure, even when that leash is just a safety belt, not a form of control.

French Bulldogs are notoriously challenging for the average owner.

That’s why my clients are often surprised how quickly their dog falls in line once immediately after they hire me.

If your dog is labelled “strong-willed”, it’s not a personality flaw.

It’s a call out for you to step up your leadership and clarity.

Repost ♻️ If you know another busy professional struggling with a dog that ignores off-leash commands.

It might be the moment they realize their dog isn’t the problem, their approach is.

Happy 8th birthday Rafa!!

I can’t believe I’ve been training you for almost 8 years.

My clients came to me with Rafa when he was 6 months old and he was a difficult case.

Extremely aggressive towards people and dogs.

He wanted to fight everything in sight because his behavior was left unchecked.

And if you’ve ever met or had a dachshund, you know how tenacious they are.

It took a couple of sessions for Rafa to stop trying to bite me 🤣.

But we made progress and now he’s one of his best students and has fantastic obedience.

Have you ever seen a Dachshund do an about turn?

It looks like a limo drifting into a parking spot 😂.

And why has my client been bringing him to train with me for almost 8 years?

Answer: For mental and physical fulfillment.

My classes are something that Rafa simply looks forward to and enjoys.

Plus it keeps him on point when anything smalls pops up.

Here’s to almost 8 years with you Rafa 💛
