Student Willy is a wild one for sure. The past few weeks has felt a little like wrangling squirrels, lol.
While he'll need continued consistency once he back home, he's come a long way with his manners on leash and around people.

Wonder why your harness that claims to end pulling isn't working. Heres why.
As a consumer, it is important to remember marketing, is marketing. The goal is to sell the product. Not necessarily tell the truth.
This doesn't mean harnesses are bad. This doesn't mean harnesses can't help an owner. But, if you don't see immediate results (dog slowing down or responding to the pressure of the harness), it's not going to end the pulling. And can make walking even more difficult. Harnesses leave little room for feedback from the leash and make the act of pulling more comfortable.

Student Zoey and some of the progress she's made!
Her energy level is through the roof. When you mix that with drive and intelligence, you get the perfect storm.
Dogs are always going to find something to keep them entertained and occupied. What matters most is that you're helping them to pick the right behaviors to offer. So they can make good decisions in the long run.
Obedience isn't always about the act of teaching a sit or down. Sometimes, it's about mental engagement, ability to focus on task, impulse control, and building a better bond with the human at the end of the leash.

Surprisingly, Lulu is not the oldest student we've ever had. At 10 years old, Lulu had some pretty established behaviors. She was reactive on leash towards people and dogs.
When Wags joined the family, their owner noticed that he was starting to display the same behaviors as Lulu. And that Lulu was getting overstimualted and redirecting back at Wags on walks. (What is happening at the beginning of this video.)
Rehursed, established "bad" behavior takes more time to address. But it's not impossible. It's about understanding what motivates the dog to offer unwanted behaviors. And what motivates the dog to find value in better behavior.

A little bit of what student Sunny has been up to. Some exposure training and building better follow-through.

When I first met Dobby, he growled at me, got overwhelmed when I moved, and nipped at my leg. I don't like using the term "aggressive" with dogs like this. It's more fear reactivity and self-preservation. Aggressive dogs like the fight. Fearful dogs just want to feel safe.
While that kind of behavior isn't acceptable. Usually, dogs like this are looking for a helping hand and guidance. Balanced training is all about finding what the dog responds to and what will help them come to the right conclusions on their own.
You CAN'T punish fear out of a dog. You CAN help them understand acceptable and unacceptable behavior. While creating positive experiences for them.

Puppy George!
A little of where he started and what he's learned during training. George is your typical (gigantic) puppy who just needed some guidance on how to be successful with expectations.

Miss Willa has come a long way since her evaluation!
Her pulling on the leash was making it difficult for her owners to handle her. She'd pull, grab the leash, and completely ignore what her owners asked.
She's a live wire for sure. But she's finally finding the fun and value in listening!

I try to avoid rocking the boat in the dog world.
But, there has been a serious uptick of dog training franchises following the same business model and training requirements to become a professional dog trainer. This post is not to knock franchises, it's about transparency. Some have really great trainers working for them.
When I started training dogs over 16 years ago, you really had to know your stuff. Be well educated, well rounded in your abilities, know what you were looking at when dealing with behavior modification, and you wouldn't dream of taking on a behavior modification if you couldn't actually fix the issue.
You'd apprentice with successful trainers for months on end, or go to school for long stents. I've redacted the company in their hiring ad, as this is not a personal attack on them. It's to highlight the business model. This is nationwide (many found in RDU) that only require 3 weeks of training to be considered a dog trainer. Which would technically make most of our clients certified dog trainers, lol.
As an owner, please ask questions!!
Dog training companies do not need to be transparent about their staffs education on training tools, animal husbandry, or animal psychology.
-Ask who will your dog be working with.
-Ask what their certifications are and through who.
-Ask what their experience is in the issues your dog is facing, or the training tools they will be using.
-Ask for an in person consultation before sending your dog away to training.
-Ask for references from recent clients who have worked with the trainer.
If you've asked the company all these questions and have a good feeling, then yes, absolutely move forward with the training.
Not all training is considered equal (franchise or small business). Since covid, the amount of dogs that have come to us to be re-trained, or "fixed" after training tools or training methodologies where used incorrectly, has been staggering. Most of this boils down to dog trainers not being as educat
