| OMG! My Dog Hates Doggy Daycare! | 16 Dec 2025 | 00:21:05 | |
Doggy daycare and dog parks carry a high level of risk and a very low level of benefit. What has become obvious to me over the years is that a lot of dogs don't actually enjoy themselves in these environments but that it just isn't always obvious. Until it is. And that is often post training because your dog is now used to being in environments where dogs are under control and someone is advocating for them. In this episode I talk about exactly that as one of our clients had this experience after her training program. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

Does your dog go crazy when people come over? Do they beg when you're eating? Or maybe they are always getting into stuff or stealing socks out of the hamper or chewing your furniture? These are all reasons why people love using the place command. But experience has taught us that place doesn't really "fix" these problems on its own. So why do we really love it?

What are the mistakes that everybody is making with this trendy command? Well, we are going to tell you how to turn your dog into the best version of themselves leveraging ..you guessed it, place.

| The Trade Game—No Bueno—Teach Your Dog to Give Things Up | 13 Oct 2025 | 00:30:13 | |
Do you have to "trade" your dog things to get things from them? This is really common, and although it sometimes works, it might not always. Even if it does work, we discuss the reasons it's generally a bad idea to play the trade game or bribe your dog to give you something it has in its possession. So what the best way is to take an item away from a dog without the conflict of having to reach in and physically take the item away (which we never do). Bones, food, toys, household items..doesn't matter. You need to be able to remove things from your dog's possession safely. In this episode I talk about how you can 100% take anything away from your dog at any time, but without conflict or risk of a bite. You will also get your dog into a more respectful headspace with these tips. And really instill that humans control the resources which is the safest way for your dog to see the world. Love the show?

| What's The Story You Tell Yourself About Your Dog's Behavior? | 10 Oct 2025 | 00:36:02 | |
All too often we get calls for dog behavioral issues AFTER something goes completely off the rails like someone gets bit, but often there were signs right along that things were headed in the wrong direction. Aggression, guarding, separation anxiety, etc. That being said, can things change or develop suddenly? Did your dog have a traumatizing event that led to a change in behavior? If your dog is pretty well behaved are we sure we are seeing what we think we are seeing, so we aren't caught off guard later by our dog "turning" or "snapping" suddenly? I'm going to tell you what we really see happening in most of these cases and it involves the natural process of your dog growing up. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| The Unraveling: What To Do If Your Dog Needs "A Refresher" | 06 Oct 2025 | 00:33:24 | |
Regression is normal. Almost everyone is going to deal with this in some way at some point. Maybe you go away and leave your dog with someone else and it's as if they've forgotten everything. Or maybe there has been a gradual divergence from the once rock solid training you did. OR maybe your reactive dog started acting up again on walks. The good news is, this is normal. Behavior isn't sedentary. It wiggles. It moves around, it evolves. it regenerates. But the other good news is dogs don't generally forget the training. They just renegotiate the rules. Don't forget that your behavior is a huge factor in your dog's choices. If you don't do anything different, nothing changes. Have a listen and get your dog back on the right track today.

| The Pitfalls Of Punishment: How Not To Fail Miserably At Dog Training | 29 Sep 2025 | 00:39:25 | |
Punishment. It is the most demonized aspect of dog training. Here's the thing. You can't really train your dog without it. Because without it you only have things your dog will work for (and you may not even have that if your dog doesn't really want anything) and you have nothing your dog is working to avoid. We train using lots of praise and rewards. In the beginning. But over time, as the dog becomes more fluent we add punishment to make behavior reliable. We are also very proficient is using punishment to stop unwanted behaviors (like jumping) quickly. It's not anybody's favorite piece of the training, but it is the number one thing people need help with because.. Without a downside to our behavior, there is no reason to ever do anything we don't want to or avoid doing something that we want to do. It would be utter chaos and we would destroy our own lives if we lived that way, yet most people allow their dogs to live that way and only barely get by with managing their dog's behavior. But success lies in real change. And real change and real reliability are truly reliant on your ability to be able to implement punishment in a fair and consistent way. There is so much nonsense out there about how damaging punishment and corrections, are but it's all just imaginary harm. Done correctly, it is the thing that will finally get you the relationship you want with your dog. Stop unwanted behaviors, no yelling or anger. Get your dog to listen to you and come back when called, even around distractions. But you have to do it correctly. So how do you do that?

| The Top 5 Ways We Use An E-collar In Dog Training | 15 Sep 2025 | 00:45:07 | |
I love this episode! Dog training is an emotionally charged topic today. Especially when you bring up tools like e-collars. But we have found this tool to be the most practical and effective way for our clients to win. They develop amazing relationships with their dogs. They're able to give their dog's more freedom and include them in family activities. They even boost their dog's confidence with the e-collar, help them settle, and reduce fear and anxiety. Not what you will hear if you read the typical narrative on the internet. Most sources talk as though all we do with e-collars is light the dog up over and over again, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Yes, we can punish behaviors using the e-collar, and we do. But we can also do many other things with it that most people don't know about. It becomes a very strong communication tool with our dogs. It becomes a lifeline. It helps dog's build skills and build confidence where they may have never been able to were it not for skilled e-collar use.

| Is Your Dog Extremely "Sensitive" or "Dramatic"? Here's What It Means. | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:40:50 | |
Some dogs can be super big babies. Big dogs and small dogs alike can fall into this category. People with these types of dogs struggle sometimes because number one it's embarrassing, and number 2 they think they are hurting their dog. This often means staying stuck or being inconsistent.

| Certified Fear Mongers...Oops I Mean Dog Trainers | 05 Sep 2025 | 00:38:44 | |
Positive reinforcement is the most powerful (and therefore the most dangerous) tool in dog training. It can absolutely strengthen behaviors very quickly, unfortunately that applies to behavior we don't like as well. And that stuff is often positively reinforced by accident. The problem that is so pervasive today is simply that positive reinforcement in the absence of punishment will create a very one sided effect—more arousal, more excitement, more drive, and very little impulse control. Very little inhibition. Very few coping skills. Very little respect for the handler. Yet there are a lot of folks out there that don't want you to stumble upon the truth or to consider that you need to incorporate real rules and boundaries and negative consequences into your training. So the easiest thing for them to do is just lie to you. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content! This content is unique and is ONLY available to our paid subscribers.

| Avoid Dog Sitter Disaster And Return To A Well Behaved Dog | 25 Aug 2025 | 00:28:22 | |
If you have to leave your dog with someone else, it's not the end of the world. In this episode we talk about finding a balance between acceptance that your dog may regress a little and holding your sitter to a standard that will keep your training from going completely under water. Sometimes we may need to lower our standards a little, but that doesn't mean you should just let everything go down the tubes either. When you come back, you need to remember that your dog hasn't forgotten the old rules. They just don't think they are being enforced anymore. Within a couple of days you'll have everything as it was before you left with these tips. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| Consultation Files: My Anxious "Submissive" Dog Growled At Me | 22 Aug 2025 | 00:36:53 | |
We see our dog through rose colored glasses. Most people don't see their dog for what they really are. That's not to say all dogs are "bad". But we see the friendliest and nicest version of them, generally speaking. It's easy to forget they are dogs just doing what comes naturally. We also have preconceived notions based on breed and even size and general appearance. But the fact is those things have little to no effect on behavior. Your dog is capable of doing things you haven't seen them do before. That doesn't mean they never will do them. So what do you do when your sweet loving dog surprises you with some untoward behavior? Like growling, biting, aggression, guarding, etc? Are you to blame? Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

Is your dog on go all the time? Do they have a hard time settling? Do they tend to drive you a little crazy if you have folks over or try to go somewhere with them?

| Is Your Dog A Chicken? The Art Of Desensitization | 15 Aug 2025 | 00:56:33 | |
Nervousness and fearfulness in dogs can be one of the most challenging things to deal with and overcome. It certainly doesn't help that most of the internet advice out there is the polar opposite of what you should actually be doing. It can be very counter intuitive to implement the discipline necessary to help your dog achieve more confidence. Exposure alone will not help your dog gain confidence, especially if they are busy trying to avoid or flee. Have a listen to hear our protocols that we use and have been wildly successful with.

| Build A *Healthy* Relationship With Your Puppy | 08 Aug 2025 | 00:47:04 | |
Most people have a vision of bringing home their new puppy and everything going swimmingly. They expect challenges, but nothing they can't overcome...right? But we find that puppies often don't just fit right into the household, the family, and the routine. They often don't get along with kids and find ways to get into things even though you are "watching". The internet is full of bad advice and often leads to folks exacerbating issues. They are committed, but they are committed to doing the wrong things, because how are you supposed to know what to do? Puppy mouthing, biting, jumping, whining, pottying in the house can all be under control with the methods we recommend in this episode. AND you'll build a relationship of trust and respect for the rest of your dog's life. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| Dog Still Doing The Same Stuff? 5 Steps To Get Out Of Your Rut And Create Real Change Now | 04 Aug 2025 | 00:30:24 | |
It is too easy to just keep doing the same thing you've been doing. And nothing changes when you do that! Here's the thing I have found to be true. People are motivated to change, but they don't know what they are supposed to be changing. If you don't have a clear plan and faith that it will work, it's nearly impossible to stay motivated or to be consistent and experience progress. We talk about some very basic stuff like how to use the kennel and how to use the leash and how to use more structure in your lifestyle with your dog to start patterning some different behavior in a major way.

| The Top 10 Things To Consider When It Comes To Dog Parks And Daycares | 25 Jul 2025 | 00:54:37 | |
We aren't huge fans of dog parks and daycares here, however some folks use them, and it works for them. Some of the reasons I hear for this are that there is no other way they can let their dog run, or they only go when there is nobody else there. Or some folks work super long shifts, like actual 24 hour work-days, and don't have anyone to help out with their dog. But there are also those who just say "my dog loves it". What is the tradeoff to using these places and our dog spending time in these environments? Some people talk about these places like the dogs are just fighting constantly. Of course that isn't always the case! But even when things seem to be going swimmingly, are they really? Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| The Root Cause Of Your Dog's Behavior—Important Or Not? | 21 Jul 2025 | 00:46:04 | |

| Does Your Dog Discriminate? You Betcha! | 13 Jul 2025 | 00:33:49 | |
Your dog is the master at discovering patterns. That means it isn't as simple as a behavior is rewarded or a behavior is punished. It is actually a lot more complex than that. Your dog takes a picture of everything when a consequence occurs. Over time, the brain can compare these pictures to pull out the precise things that trigger that consequence. This is the precise reason that one reward or one correction isn't usually enough. Your dog needs more information. It is also the reason that people think they have trained the behavior they want but they actually haven't..yet. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| Social Gatherings During The Early Training Phase-Helping Or Hurting? | 25 Jun 2025 | 00:38:21 | |
Summer is finally here, and hopefully you're doing all sorts of funs stuff! And hopefully you are able to include your dog or you're working on it so that they can live a fuller life with you and the fam. I love it when people train their dogs to a level that they can bring them anywhere and include them in anything. But (you knew that was coming), we see a lot of people get in their own way and create not just set backs, but actually start to create patterns that are the exact opposite of what they want because they are eager to include their dog and they just don't do it in a way that is productive and conducive to their long term goals. These behavior patterns can then haunt you forever!! It's worth putting in the extra work early on to have the dog you want and be able to include them the way you want for the rest of their life.

| People Who Expect Magic Wands, Fairy Dust, And Easy Buttons Need Not Apply | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:44:24 | |
We love helping people! But...some folks just can't be helped. This is the number one biggest challenge any dog trainer will face. Our clients are amazing! But every now and then we get reminded that there are people out there that think they will pay the fee and their problems will go away. In this episode I am talking about the reality of going through a training program and not getting the results. It is not my favorite thing to talk about. AS someone who is so passionate about what I do, I want everybody to succeed. And it's a very common question from people that are considering signing up. People are concerned that their goals aren't actually achievable for their dog. But I have found that most people's goals are very realistic, and the results are very much predicated in their willingness and ability to put in the work, put in the time, and make the lifestyle changes that we recommend. Sadly, not everybody does. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content! This content is unique and is ONLY available to our paid subscribers. Subscriptions are only $3/month!

| There's ''Purely Positive" Training And Then There's Effective Training-What Is The Difference | 18 Jun 2025 | 00:28:05 | |
People tend to get overwhelmed and way off track with all the different catch phrases out there pertaining to training and "types" of training. Most people don't really understand what all of the terms out there really mean. And they also don't fully understand the process of effectively and efficiently building, shaping, or modifying behaviors which makes analyzing all these fancy "methods" really difficult. Hours on the internet are fruitless. Especially when you consider that most of what is out there is blatantly false. Terms like "purely positive" are used to make you feel good. It gives us the warm fuzzies and makes us feel like we are really doing right by our dog. And if it is really as effective as everybody says it is, why wouldn't we do our programs that way? And what are the main differences in our approach and our results vs a trainer that adheres to the ideology of "positive only"? Well, have a listen. Love the show?

| Building An Easier Life With Your Dog-Less Management And More Enjoyment | 10 Jun 2025 | 00:29:41 | |
The most common approach to fixing behavioral issues, or even just trying to teach our dogs to ignore distractions, is to use obedience. This is a huge mistake, and will either lead to frustration or a long life of constant management. Most dog owners that are relying on obedience to fix issues are leaving out a critical step. We discuss this often overlooked step and give real life examples so that you can start building a life that is easier and a relationship where you and your dog are totally on the same page.

| Happy Dog Or Drunken Frat Boy? | 27 May 2025 | 00:27:51 | |
So many folks prioritize their dog's "happiness" over their training. This is a problem in and of itself, but especially when we don't actually know what a "happy" dog is. A cool, calm, collected dog doesn't look "happy" by everyone's standards. But how will your dog ever become the superstar they could be if they are running around like a crack head and can't be still or listen? Don't get stuck in a vicious cycle of keeping your dog aroused and getting frustrated with their behavior. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| Dealing With Regression—When Your Dog Goes Backwards | 23 May 2025 | 00:26:23 | |
Regression is something that nearly everybody deals with when they are training their dog.

| Boundaries Aren't Just For Your Dog, They're For Your Friends, Family, And Strangers, Too. | 16 Apr 2025 | 00:45:22 | |
It seems everybody is an expert, and they don't hesitate to tell you what you're doing wrong or even that you are a bad dog owner. Especially if you use a prong collar or an e-collar. So, what do you do? Remember, boundaries require the other person to do nothing. If you don't get comfortable setting boundaries with people, how will you ever succeed with your dog? It will be impossible to be consistent and your dog will take advantage. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| Your Dog Will Only Be As Reliable As YOU Train Them To Be | 24 Mar 2025 | 00:32:01 | |
Sooo many people train their dogs but not to their fullest potential. Even my own clients, a fair percentage of them, never raise the bar enough for their dog to be truly reliable. Don't forget the point in training. It's one thing if your dog can do it, but it's another if they will do it—each and every time. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!

| Everyone's Least Favorite Topic—But It Might Be The Most Important—Punishment | 15 Mar 2025 | 00:55:49 | |
This episode is dedicated entirely to talking about punishment (corrections for those that are too ninny to use the p word). We are very effective at stopping unwanted behaviors, so...how do we do it? I explain in detail what the process looks like. And I'll talk about why it doesn't work for so many folks (they are doing it wrong). This is stuff nobody will tell you! Haha. But I will!! Tired of being gaslit into thinking there is something wrong with your dog or that you just need to keep being patient? I don't blame you. That's because you will never achieve the desired result of eliminating a behavior if you don't understand these concepts. As a sidenote, this is NOT how we train dogs to do obedience commands. Punishment is for STOPPING behaviors, not building behaviors. If you are trying to get your dog TO DO something, that is more of a process and involves a lot more guidance. This is how you get your dog NOT to do something. For instance, the window barking, the hole digging, the jumping up, etc. Love the show? Sign up to access our new exciting Xtra content!
