E-collar training to us is being able to share MORE moments with your dog, MORE experiences, and MORE freedom.

Creating a better, more fulfilling relationship through lifestyle training and balanced methods.

Our goal is to coach you and guide you through your dog training goals, and wins, and to also be there on the “off” days where things can feel really heavy. Dog training is not a linear process- neither is growth in ourselves.

River is back home with her family and her sister, Riley!

River can be an anxious girl, with some serious FOMO. Helping her find some independence, learning to settle on her own and holding her accountable for the things we know she is capable of doing- has changed her overall mindset SO much.

Her parents have lots of work to do back home to help River know and understand they have the same rules and help curb that anxious mind. I know her sister Riley will help her too 😉.

These girls are an awesome chocolate and black lab duo and we are so proud of their family. It is going to be so much easier now that both girls are on the same page with their training and communication. 👏🏻👏🏻

Rocky is officially back home with his people 👏🏻.

Rocky came to us as a demand barker of all things he was curious of, over aroused around our kitty 🐈‍⬛ friends, and super pushy on his leash.

His family now have all the tools and knowledge to manage Rocky and guide him to being successful in daily life. They have learned how to interrupt his focus with the family kitties, how to calmly relax in his crate and exit slowly and now have the confidence to take him out in public and hold him accountable for being a polite member of society.

So dang proud of Rocky’s progress and we can’t wait to see all of his future adventures 🫶🏻.

Dalmatians get SO much attention out in public 😂. He has a whole fan club anytime anyone sees him out and about🖤.

Have you ever tried wrangling a toddler, puppy, 2 dogs and yourself together for a photo shoot 🤪.

Hi! Nice to meet you, and welcome to our page- full of all things dogs, training, motivation and advice. We are here to support you and your pup through your achievements, struggles and everything in between.

We are a family owned business, running out of our home enviroment. You got that right- your dog actually stays with us in our home during our training programs!

During our free time we love hanging with our 4 year old, doing all things hot wheels, RC cars and taking our bikes to the skate park! Connor actually helps us regularly training the dogs- between walks, distraction work and the delivery of treats 😉.

We are so happy you’re here- thanks for following!

Had to spam you with some puppy pictures 💛

Honey has been the best addition to our crew! But phew 😮‍💨 - I forgot how much work raising a puppy is!

Crate training, potty training, getting them in a solid routine around the house- not to mention things like chewing (puppy teeth 🦈 iykyk), ZOOMIES, and all the floppy, uncoordinated playtime.

We personally have chose to focus our training on Honey’s overall mindset- she actually doesn’t formally know a “sit” or “down” yet! We have worked on crate threshold, door threshold, tethering and settling in lots of environments, exposure to lots of sounds, surfaces and anything new we can think of. The obedience commands can come later 😉.

Time to reintroduce ourselves ✌🏻
Chad and Lindsey- the faces behind the dogs, training and fun!

We started Know Better Dog training back in 2018 after finding such a passion for training our own dogs, including our new puppy Tucker- who was scared and timid of EVERYTHING. Through E-collar training we were able to build Tuckers confidence, communicate clearly and it really opened our entire world up with our dogs. Chad started as the main trainer, owner, scheduler, and Lindsey helped out with the dogs, odds and ends, and supported the dream Chad had to own his own business.

Over the years our business has grown and changed so much and we are so thankful for everyone who has supported us! Which leads us to some exciting news 👏🏻

As of the end of this month Lindsey is going to be taking on a bigger role in the business- including helping training the pups, creating more content, hopefully get some client outings on our calendar such as group training meetups and pack walks! I’m so excited to dive into everything dog training.

We are so excited for everything to come 🩶💚

Who would have thought Chad also does wedding photography 😆🤍.

Belly trained with us in January of 2021 and her Mom has done an amazing job keeping up on her training. 👏🏻

Saturday was her wedding day and she asked us if Chad would be able to facilitate handling and managing Belly so she could be around for some family photos. I honestly feel so honored to be such a big part of our clients lives- this is so much more than dog training.

Congratulations! 🍾 💒

Congratulations to Koda and Noah 🥳. They have officially graduated our Lodge and Learn program!

Koda’s main goals were improving overall obedience, working on greeting new guests without barking at them and helping soothe his overall anxiety. We are SO proud of all his progress made during his program. He now knows how to relax on command in many different environments, can go on public access outings with a breeze and he has not barked at any new person! His family will continue to maintain and practice his training back at home- they’re so excited to be able to take him to places like Partridge Creek now.

Noah came to us as a reactive, impulsive dude who had no problem using his teeth to get what he wanted. He made so much progress these past 4 weeks and is now so much more manageable for Dad! His Dad actually took him to Partridge Creek yesterday and said this visit was a B, before training his visits to places like this were a big ol’ F. Dad now has the tools and support to continue working towards their goals!

You dog absolutely knows what to do when leaving their program- it’s on you as the owners to now hold them accountable and continue practicing 🖤. Dogs are not robots.

Tucker has officially graduated and is back home with his fur-sister and parents 🥳.

He made such progress in his overall confidence, obedience and mindset. His family now has all the tools in their toolbox to continually set Tucker up for success in new environments, around new people and new dogs.

They never thought they would be able to take Tucker out in public and dog friendly spaces- through training, management and proper boundaries their world has opened up.

I can’t wait to see their success in the weeks to come.
We will miss you sweet boy 🖤.

Happy Saturday ☀️

Taking things slow over here. Place, nails and grooming tasks for the pups. It’s been a busy week of training and these dogs are TIRED!

Tucker, Noah and Koda all have about a week and a half left of their programs and the progress they have made is just awesome. We have a few more mid-way sessions with their owners to make sure everyone understands and learns the training together.

Anyone have any fun weekend plans with their dogs?!

Why did I choose E-collar training for my dogs?

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. ⬆️

Off leash, calm mindset, napping on a rock in the river- all while I was able to relax and enjoy myself with a book on a nearby bench.

MORE experiences, MORE freedom, MORE fun.

I can think of about 100 ways E-collar training has brought positive moments and a positive relationship with my best friend.

Funny- I can’t think of any negatives🤪.

What’s your why? Share with us in the comments ⬇️

Molly 💕

She has officially graduated her 3 week program and is back home with her family. Her family will have lots of work to do at home to continue her training, but her progress has been tremendous.

We must take things a bit slower with a deaf dog, and our training process might look a bit different. However, all dogs deserve training and all dogs are capable of being trained.

Molly was the absolute sweetest and so in tune with her handler upon leaving. We are so proud of her and we can’t wait to see all her progress back home!

Happy Sunday ☀️

Connor and Simon are enjoying a pack walk this morning! Connor is obsessed with the littles and is the best little trainer working with them 😉.

We have always worked so hard in teaching not only the dogs, proper boundaries, respect and interactions with small children and babies- but also teaching our own son the importance of this!

Here are a few of our most important rules/boundaries-
▪️ Always give space to dogs you do NOT know
▪️ No touching/pulling ears and tails
▪️ ALWAYS leave a sleeping dog alone
▪️ Show your child how to properly interact, instead of just telling them

Molly had her first outing today 🥳

She did wonderful with her car manners- so all her practice earlier paid off 👏🏻.
Chad worked with her in the parking lot for a bit before heading in. This way she knew the expectations and gave them a minute to slow down and check in with each other.
She was an absolute joy in the store- SO proud!

We did learn we need to work a bit more on her auto-sit. This is why we do public access trips regularly in our program. It helps test all the things our dogs know at home out in busy, new, distracting environments. 🤍
