Which Halloween personality does YOUR dog have? 👻

Is your dog:

👻 THE GHOST - Currently accepting applications for emotional support humans because Halloween is TOO MUCH

🧛 THE VAMPIRE - Thrives on chaos. Has not slept since October 1st. Will bark at every single trick-or-treater.

🐺 THE WEREWOLF - Totally normal dog... until a 4-year-old in a Spider-Man costume walks by

😈 THE GOBLIN - If it’s food, it’s theirs. If it’s on the counter, it’s theirs. Kitchen ban in effect.
..or are they a Sky Soldier Grad? 🌟

The dog who doesn’t even flinch when the doorbell rings for the 47th time. The one who ignores the candy bowl. The one who greets trick-or-treaters calmly while your neighbor’s dog is losing their mind.

That’s the difference training makes.

Most people don’t have dog problems.
They have discipline problems.

Your dog isn’t broken, your habits are.

This essay isn’t really about dogs. It’s about people.
It’s about how we’ve lost control of ourselves, and how our dogs are simply the mirror showing it.

A good steward doesn’t let things fall apart because setting standards feels uncomfortable. They step up. They create order. They take responsibility for what’s been entrusted to them.

And stewardship includes how you lead your dog.

If you can’t provide structure, boundaries, and clear leadership to a dog, what does that say about how you handle your other responsibilities?

God gave us dominion over animals (Genesis 1:26) - that’s not permission to be permissive, it’s a responsibility to lead well. Stewardship isn’t about being nice. It’s about being responsible.

Your dog is waiting for you to actually lead. Let’s fix this.

This is our most popular program for a reason. It works.

Our Board + Train program isn’t just for dogs with behavior issues. It’s for any dog owner who wants to set their dog up for success from the start. Whether you’re dealing with pulling, ignoring commands, or building a strong foundation before bad habits form, this program gives your dog the structure, boundaries, and leadership they need to thrive.

Here’s what makes it different: we don’t just train your dog and send them home. We teach YOU how to maintain everything they’ve learned so the results stick. Training isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a lifestyle.

Your dog will master essential obedience commands, learn impulse control, and gain the confidence that comes from clear expectations. You’ll gain the skills to be the leader your dog needs, whether you’re preventing problems or solving them.

The “place” command teaches your dog to go to and stay on a designated spot (like a dog bed) until released. When you give the command, your dog should (or I should say WILL if training with me) move to their designated place and remain there in a down or sit position until you give a release word like “free.”

Here is why it is so important.

Establishes your leadership and authority. It’s a command that gives legitimacy to your authority as the leader. This extends to every other command and correction you give.

Impulse control and self-regulation - Place builds your dog’s ability to control their impulses and settle themselves, which is foundational for behavior. It teaches them that sometimes they need to wait and be patient.

Boundary training - It establishes clear boundaries and helps dogs understand rules in your home. This translates to better respect for other boundaries like not jumping on furniture or staying out of certain rooms.

Gives you a tool to correct behavior - Instead of letting your dog jump on guests, beg at dinner, or demand attention, place gives you the authority to stop these behaviors in the moment and put your dog in a calm, controlled state.

Building focus and duration - The command develops your dog’s ability to maintain focus on a task for extended periods, which improves their overall training capacity and attention span.

Real-world applications - Place is incredibly practical for daily life situations like keeping your dog calm during meals, when answering the door, or when you need them to settle while you’re working.

Foundation for advanced training - A solid place command makes teaching other behaviors easier because your dog has learned to respect your authority and respond to positional commands with duration.

This one command transforms the chaos at your front door, the jumping on guests, the begging at dinner, and the constant need for attention because it gives you the authority to correct these behaviors and encourage good ones.

Before we tackle leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or any other behavior challenge, we train a dog who respects your commands on place is a dog who’s ready to learn anything.
