Best dog training tips.
February 22, 2025

After watching the video I used some of the techniques on my dog. What a difference it made. He no longer pulls on his leash or jumps up on guests. I can't thank you enough for sharing this.

We have a new foster dog that pulled terribly on walks. Both my husband's and my shoulders are very sore. The U turn concept renewed our confidence that we could make progress. Why didn't her people teach her better in the 8 years they had her? The door greeting manners we need to teach immediately, too! She is a loud barking dog, a shepherd mix, and badly scared someone coming into the house.

Enjoyed the video and having owned & trained dogs for 50+ years I learned a few things.

I have yet to bring another dog into my family, but soon (April-ish 2025) I will purchase this program.

The operant conditioning model is such a pleasant way to train desired behaviors! It's all about using rewards and play to encourage the dog's best behavior in a very short time. The approach gives both the human and dog a sense of joy and the behavior changes seem to become "hard wired" very quickly and deeply. I was surprised at how quickly we erased "naughty" behaviors that had been troubling us for months in a less than two days. And all without luring or dominance-based training methods.

Makes perfect sense!
February 18, 2025

I think your techniques are excellent and make perfect sense.
I have only spent a short time with your program, but intend to continue learning from it.
I have two wonderful German Shepherds who are surprising and teaching me daily.

Super Helpful Information
February 17, 2025

Having the 3 Rules and the 4 quadrant explained coupled with the videos was very helpful. The videos for examples and demonstrating the strategies then followed with behaviors before and after was also helpful...first, to show the strategies in action then, the change in the animal's behaviors after using the strategy.

Kauri
February 16, 2025

I like the hand signals and they work well with Kauri and Puna. I don't have the space for them both to run freely but take them to the dog park every evening for a food 30min run. They still run and pull hard on the leads so I've yet master that learning behaviour.

I learned a lot
February 16, 2025

I was able to curb her jumping on people and she's a big dog, so it's a big deal. Also she does much better at crowding the door. I really need more on the walking as she just pulls me along some times, and 2x she knocked me down wanting to chase. But for theodt part the lessens were really helpful.
