In a dog’s world of competing motivators, you need to be the one thing that captivates their attention. Most dog owners rely heavily on verbal communication, but dogs primarily communicate mostly through body language.

Living with dogs means working to establish a common language between you. This can be frustrating for both species, as humans try to talk to dogs as if they were people, while dogs attempt to communicate with humans as if they were dogs. This disconnect leads to endless misunderstandings.

When you combine these two factors—competing motivators and the inability to speak the same language—you compound the problem.

This is why you can repeat saying “sit” till you're blue in the face, in every tone imaginable while your dog watches you with polite indifference, and then they proceed to do exactly what they planned to do anyway.

The problem was never your love or effort; you simply weren’t taught the language they speak and from that, how to capture and hold their attention.

🤔How do you make
your dog's obedience proofed, reliable and phase out the food and the leash so you don't need it anymore?

Read on.

This is a snippet from one of my amazing dog training clients sessions ( and Phoebo 💕") and we just moved into phase 3 of training.

Phase 1: Leash pressure is a language. You and your dog now understand pulling is a thing of the past and you know how to use the leash as a GPS, translator and volume control. Your dog learns how to follow you, and you now can shape your dog into primary positions (sit, down, place, heel, ECT).

Phase 2: Ecollar conditioning: a nonnegotiable phase that properly teaches the dog that the ecollar stim is synonymous with leach pressure, they just feel different. Ecollar is combined with positive reinforcement (food rewards) and creates magnificent results. In conditioning phase behavior is marked and rewarded every single time.

Phase 3: Time to phase food out and introduce intermittent schedule of rewards with the 3 D's: distraction, duration, and distance. If our dogs can demonstrate behaviors under the 3 D's we can say the behavior is proofed and reliable.

✅ Here's what nobody told you: your dog speaks a language of posture, timing, pressure, and release, and in that language your body has been contradicting your mouth for years. Every plea, every repeated command, every chase around the yard taught him the same lesson, that your words are weather, and weather can be ignored. The problem was never your love or your effort. The problem is that nobody ever taught you the language your dog actually speaks.

🎥 Check out this video of Sparrow working off-leash with an e-collar recall in his neighborhood!

🐾 First things first: DO NOT attempt this unless you’re under the guidance of a professional dog trainer. Sparrow has been diligently training over the last few weeks with me and his mom.

👉 The Irony: If you want your dog to be safe off-leash, they first need to be fluent on-leash. Once Sparrow mastered leash pressure, I introduced the e-collar. This allowed us to phase out the leash while maintaining the same cues.

🌟 This is a beautiful moment in the training process! We can extend the boundaries for our dogs to play and explore, while still being able to communicate and ensure their safety, no matter the distance or distractions.

⚠️ A crucial tip: When teaching recall, DO NOT make your dog’s name mean “come here.” This can be dangerous—imagine your dog running across the street when you call their name! Instead, their name should always grab their attention, followed by a command.

Remember: Their name does NOT mean “come over here.” Keep your dog safe while they're learn! 🐕💕

Sparrow and Brenda did very well on their first field trip! One of the most important things about training your dog is this: once everything is under control inside your house and around the neighborhood, it's time to get out into the wild! Dogs are extremely intelligent but they will not generalize the behaviors they learned at home out in every day situations if they don't get a chance to practice! Essentially they learn, "Ahhh, so the rules at home and around the neighborhood also apply here… At this dog friendly restaurant… At the pet store… At the Home Depot… At the airport, etc." make sure you don’t skip this valuable step in your training journey!
