Perhaps I’m not great with flashy titles or marketing…but I guarantee there is great training information in my short courses
I am a firm believer in a good foundation. If you don’t have it and are merely training “exercises” and “positions,” you will fall short. Just when you need your dog to be dependable, the behaviour fails.
This FREE short course covers the behaviours that I think are the Foundation of all else. Once these behaviours are on board, you can build anything on top of them you like. It benefits ALL performance dogs, working dogs and pets, too.
HOW you train these behaviours is just as important as WHICH behaviours.
This short course includes 90 minutes of video and a Q&A Call.

Introducing your puppy to your resident dog can be wonderful - or frightening and end in injury or trauma for the puppy - the resident dog and/or you!
My clients, Marguerite and Dave, have just gotten a new puppy and will be bringing it home soon. We arranged with the breeder for a field trip, so we could introduce new baby to Resident Older Dog, Wyndsor.
We discuss:
That is just the beginning. Use my protocols to make sure dogs are socially-enhanced, instead of a free-for-all and hope-for-the-best scenario.

Enroll Now- Reinforcement Magic
Old fashioned words. Not very scientific sounding. And yet, we know, instinctively that these words matter. In every relationship. When we are working hard to get our dogs to “partner up’ with us, science can take us far.
The trick is to change that Science into Art. That is the real skill set of dog training ... taking messy emotions and adding the science, mixing it with the real world and including emotional states and ... turning that unpredictable melee into the Art of Training.

When I query my instructors, they validate my own experiences. When we poll our entry level attendees, what do they often list as the most valuable thing we taught them? Yup. Restraint Tolerance.

Enroll Now - Why Restraint Tolerance?
In my training system, there are 3 specific protocols for Body Work that we deem Foundational:
Both sit restraint and be still can be used interchangeably to help improve greetings.
This material covers primarily the Sit Restraint protocol. Down Restraint and Be Still are taught separately. Sit Restraint is typically the easiest to teach the dog. Use it for these occasions:
As always, the first lesson of my course is free. Hope you'll join us for the full short course!
If you wish to explore the other Body Work protocols, you can find material in any one of my books. For example, the "Be Still" is covered in both Get Connected With Your Dog and Puppy Problems? No Problem!
