🎥 Legend’s Recall in Action! ⚡️

This is Legend, our 2-year-old German Shepherd who has been in professional training since he was 12 weeks old. What you’re seeing here is the kind of responsiveness and focus that comes from years of consistent, balanced training.

When we call, he comes — fast, confident, and happy. That’s the kind of reliability every owner dreams of, and it’s what makes Legend truly special.

🐾 About Legend:
• Fully trained on- and off-leash
• Calm, social, and highly obedient
• Reliable recall (as you can see!)
• Great manners at home and in public
• Crate and house trained
• Balanced, affectionate, and eager to please

Legend represents the best of what our program produces — a dog who’s not just obedient, but in tune with his handler.

He’s now ready to transition into his forever home with someone who values structure, training, and an active lifestyle.

In this lesson, I break down the difference between “Take It” and “Hold It” when teaching retrieval skills — and why separating the two creates way more clarity and enthusiasm in your dog.

I’m using my old hunting partner Gibbs (now retired at 10 years old 🐾) to demonstrate how I re-taught his retrieve using free shaping instead of coercion — rebuilding his drive and enjoyment for the task.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why I start with neutral items like PVC (and how to avoid poisoning the retrieve)
✅ How to use successive approximation to shape the “take it” behavior step-by-step
✅ The importance of keeping “take it” and “hold it” as separate sessions
✅ How early mistakes can lead to chomping, avoidance, or low motivation later

This is a foundational skill for hunting dogs, service dogs, and sport dogs alike — or just for anyone who wants a clean, happy retrieve.

📹 Watch the video, try it with your dog, and if you give it a go — post your progress video in the comments!
Let’s see those lightbulb moments 💡

💕 Meet Izzy

Izzy is a smart, sassy, and lovable bulldog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She’s completed a full professional training program and is now off-leash reliable, crate trained, and fully housetrained. Izzy thrives with clear structure, consistent routines, and a confident handler who understands that training is a lifestyle, not a phase.

This girl is playful, goofy, and affectionate once she trusts you. She loves engaging with her person through structured play, obedience sessions, and quality one-on-one time. She’s incredibly loyal and eager to please when she knows what’s expected of her.

Izzy enjoys the company of people and does well with older, respectful kids (8+), but she can become overstimulated around very young children, so a home without small kids is best. She also has a high prey drive toward cats, so no feline friends for this girl.

Izzy currently lives harmoniously with her trainer’s dogs under supervised management, but due to her strong personality and the structure she requires, she will do best as the only dog in her new home.

She’s crate trained, spayed, housetrained, and doesn’t require a fenced yard—though she’d love a safe space to stretch her legs and show off her obedience skills.

Izzy’s ideal adopter is someone who:

Enjoys engaging in daily training and play

Appreciates structure, leadership, and clear communication

Understands bulldog quirks and loves their stubborn charm

Wants a true training partner and companion—not just a pet to spoil

If you’re looking for a bulldog with brains, brawn, and a huge personality to match, Izzy just might be your girl. With the right leader, she’ll be the most loyal, entertaining, and well-trained dog you’ve ever had.

Attributes:
✅ Crate Trained
✅ Fence Not Required
🚫 Not Good with Cats
👧 Good with Kids 8+
🏠 Housetrained
⚡ Moderate Energy Level
🐾 No Object Aggression
🐶 Spayed
❤️ Must Be Only Dog

🐾 Meet Bear & Cooper 🐾

These two boys came in together for our Board & Train program — and like a lot of siblings, they’ve got a mix of love, competition, and chaos going on at home.

Cooper is the vocal one — he barks at just about everything: noises, guests, walks, you name it. He’s highly food motivated, but he’s also been showing some defensive and pushy behavior toward his owners and toward Bear.

Bear, on the other hand, is the sensitive one. He whines and gets anxious when other dogs are around, especially big ones. He often sets off the alarm, and Cooper is quick to back him up.
Together, they feed off each other’s energy — and that’s created tension, overexcitement, and even some fights at home.
Their owners reached out because they want to be able to:

✅ Walk both dogs together calmly in public
✅ Eliminate barking and reactivity around the house
✅ Create a calmer, more confident home environment where both dogs can relax and be part of the family again

We just started Week 2 of their program, and Kayla’s been working on teaching them impulse control and focus through foundational obedience. The video from this week shows her teaching down using food luring — helping both dogs learn how to follow direction, settle, and think through the process instead of reacting.

This is where the real change begins — clarity, structure, and calm communication. Once the foundation is in place, we’ll start adding distractions and real-world scenarios to transfer that control back to their owners.

Stay tuned — Bear and Cooper are learning fast, and they’re already starting to show what’s possible when clear leadership replaces chaos.

🐾 Welcome Rudy 🐾

This little guy just started our Puppy Development Program today! Rudy’s a sweet and cuddly young Golden Retriever.

Day 1 isn’t about commands — it’s about building engagement and learning how to play with purpose. Before we ever ask for obedience, we want the puppy to learn that working with us is fun. That’s how we build focus, motivation, and trust from the start.
Today Rudy learned:

✅ How to interact and engage with his handler
✅ How to play and build a positive relationship through food and movement
✅ That paying attention to his person is rewarding and exciting

This foundation work might not look flashy, but it’s what separates a distracted dog from a focused one later on. Every great dog starts with relationship, not rules.

Welcome to the program, Rudy — we’ve got big things ahead for you! 🐶💪

🐾 Meet Nana 🐾

When her owners first found her on the streets, Nana was calm, gentle, and easygoing. She fit right in at home — until tension started building between her and their other dog, Charlie.

Charlie began showing signs of resource guarding and started targeting Nana. At first, she tried to avoid conflict, but after getting pushed enough times, she stopped backing down. Over time, those scuffles turned into serious fights, and it’s taken a real toll on the family.

Now, Nana’s here with us to get her confidence, structure, and sense of security back — and to help her humans bring peace and stability back into the home.

Our goal isn’t to “fix” Nana — she’s not broken. What she needs is clarity, leadership, and a predictable environment so she doesn’t feel like she has to handle things on her own.

We’ll be working on:
✅ Building calm obedience and communication
✅ Rebalancing structure and leadership in the home
✅ Helping both dogs learn how to coexist peacefully again

Most dogs don’t wake up wanting to fight. Conflict is almost always the result of confusion, lack of structure, and stress that’s been building over time. With the right guidance, Nana can go back to being the sweet, steady dog she’s always been — and her family can finally relax knowing they’re in control again.

Stay tuned — this one’s going to be a powerful transformation.

Always love hearing from past clients! ❤️
Miss Delilah Jean graduated from our program years ago — and she’s still holding it down as the best-behaved dog on the block 🐾
Consistency and structure really do pay off long-term.

Here's the truth: most people have never seen a truly engaged dog.

When I talk about building focus and engagement I mean actually build it. Build it to an obsessive level. If your dog wants to interact with you THIS much, distractions quickly become irrelevant.

10/27/2025

Focus on teaching the dog what TO do before you attempt to teach them what not to do. In the end you'll find that you won't need to rely on corrections in any way shape or form.

One treat ≠ a real reward.
In this clip, I break down why dogs perform better when the reward is the game — the interaction, energy, and fun you create with them — not just a single piece of food.

When you turn your rewards into a moment instead of a transaction, you build real drive, focus, and reliability. You’ll also find you need to rely on corrections far less in real life because your dog actually wants to work with you.

🎯 Try this:

Make every payout moment fun and dynamic

Keep it interactive (food or toy — doesn’t matter)

Let the work become the start of the game

PS — I’ve got a follow-up video coming that shows the power of this approach. Ivan, a 6-month-old puppy, happily engages off leash while ignoring every distraction around him. 🔥
