We LOVE working out “in the field” to nip leash reactivity in the bud!
But what do we mean by “in the field?”
It means we come to you and work within the context and with the challenges that you are facing. For some this is at the dog park, in the neighborhood, walking by that one house... but WHY?
We believe that results and change happen when we can observe the misbehavior in action and make real time adjustments, corrections and recommendations.
In this video, out “in the field” was walking around this couple’s active neighborhood which offered plenty of teachable moments for the dog and owner alike!
Puppies pull on walks, some more than others 🙃
This little guy use to think he was a canine tetherball any time he was attached to his leash.
His individual temperament is extremely extraverted (high enthusiasm/high assertiveness). This mindset isn’t very responsive to our usual attention-grabbing techniques, so we decided to bring out the eCollar.
Using low levels, on a unit designed for small dogs, we started issuing feedback for “tetherballing”. Then, as we worked our way around the park, after about 20 minutes, we got more specific about what a good walk looks like - that’s what you’re seeing in the clip here.
The super fast learning rate was all thanks to the clear, well-timed feedback from the eCollar.
P.S. Sorry my voice 🗣 is so muffled/nasal in the video - I blame the 😷
Watch till the end!! 👏Progress, just like this, happens incrementally with little successes along the way! Chase is working on his separation anxiety — this look like not much but it’s HUGE for Chase and his family!!
The walk can transform rapidly with the right tools and techniques. Check out Wally here — oh the difference just one session can make!

Greetings 👋
.
Finding the balance between saying “Hi!” to guests when they come over and overwhelming them with licks/jumps/scratches of excitement is a common ask for many owners.
Many dogs are overexcited at the front door - jumping up on guests, maybe scratching them - it’s usually too much.
While I don’t mind dogs being at the door and saying “Hi!”, there is a polite and under control way to do so.
Here’s a good example! Buddy worked on his door greeting and it shows - he’s polite while still excited about new friends coming over 🐾
Go slow 🐌 a reminder for all of my owners with excitable pups, young and old a like.
.
Many times taking things slow is the biggest challenge of all. We (and our dogs) are eager to get to work, so the assumption is that the pace of training should match this excitement! For some, yes, but for many, the challenge is slowing it down.
.
Why take it slow? Not only does this help owners tune in to their dog’s behavior, it helps the dog slow down and take inventory of what you’re asking him to do and what he is actually doing.
.
Take Puddy here, SLOW is the perfect speed for training, it’s harder 😉🐾

Building confidence around strangers and new situations is key for a well-balanced pup. Sora the pomsky puppy was afraid and vocal when I first showed up. We worked on this drill during our first session - rewards for bravery and discouragement for unwanted behaviors like barking. Excited to see how this little guy progresses!
