Send us Fan Mail Today we are breaking down exactly what we recommend you do when your dog goes home after a board and train. It's a lot of information covered at the go home lesson, and you're not going to absorb it all. For that reason, we do send you home with a go home packet and respond as promptly as possible to texts and emails. But we thought it would be a good idea to have this very detailed breakdown in the form of a podcast so folks can have another reference that recaps ever...

How To Transition Dog Training From Lessons To Real Life

Off Leash And Unfiltered: The Truth In Dog Training ·

2026/04/13

Send us Fan Mail A lot of folks get stuck in training "lessons" with their dog and they never graduate to just having a trained dog that can do the stuff in real life. There are a few reasons for that. The biggest thing is you can't ask your dog to do things in real life and expect that to be easy until A-they've practiced and know it and B-there is real accountability for not doing what is expected. If either of those components aren't there it will be too messy to hold together in rea...

Send us Fan Mail Dogs don't live that long. How many years do you want to struggle or have to manage your dog just to avoid a correction that is typically a split second? That's what people do, though. And there's a reason. It's all the bologna that is out there on the internet. That's why people are better at building behaviors (which is much more difficult) than stopping behaviors (which is SIMPLE). Why is it everyone I meet needs help with stopping behaviors when that is the EASY part of t...

3 Simple Exercises You Need To Do With Your Dog

2026/04/07

Send us Fan Mail These are things we do with client dogs right off the bat. Sometimes we forget that it's not just about teaching your dog words or commands. It's about behavior. It's about teaching your dog how to slow down, how to process, how to prioritize you, how to resist impulses, even if those impulses are out of fear, nervousness, anxiety, or extreme over stimulation. All dogs learn automatic kennel manners (going in and out-kennel drills) All dogs learn the non-verbal sit (and rehea...

Send us Fan Mail So common! Dogs are all individuals! But also, as a culture we seem to think that "normal" dogs like playing with other dogs. Nope. They often don't. And If yours falls into that camp and they are forced to play with other dogs, how do you think that will turn out? If that is the case you have to recognize that your dog might not actually be the problem. No level of training will ever fix the OTHER dogs and it will probably never change your dog's personality where he...

Send us Fan Mail "When can we take off the e-collar?" This is our favorite question. NOT! It is actually a very good question. And the answer is simple for most dog owners, especially since they aren't dog trainers—you can take it off when you don't want your dog to listen. Can you teach your dog to listen and behave all the time regardless of whether or not the ecollar is on? Sure. But most people aren't going to have the skill or follow the instructions carefully enough to achieve that. You...

2026/03/23

Send us Fan Mail It is hard to argue that the process used should not be the one that gets the best results, yet here we are. In dog training today there is an immensely flawed philosophy that is fiercely promulgated by dog trainers and even "professional organizations" that are looked up to by the average pet owner, and many professionals in the field, today. The result is that people are brain washed before they have even sat down to think about it. They already believe that aversives in do...

How To Punish Bad Puppy Behavior (Dogs Under 6 mos)

2026/03/20

Send us Fan Mail Punishing a dog's behavior is already a controversial topic. Not that it should be. Punishment is literally, by definition, the only way to eliminate behaviors. But what is even more controversial, and shrouded in mystery because nobody wants to talk about it, is punishing a puppy's bad behaviors. The truth is we have a different set of rules we go by when it comes to puppies (which we are defining as dogs under 6 months of age). So I'm going to dive into what we correc...

Send a text So many of the things that we do with other humans are counter productive with our dogs. While many of the basic principles are shared, we tend to use language in a way that our dogs don't really understand and we also humanize them, applying what we THINK or what we FEEL as though it's the same for our dogs. But it's not! I am giving very specific examples of things that can really help propel your dog training into the next level and get traction where you never could before. Do...

Send a text Prong collars get an undeserved bad rap—mainly because they look scary. Sometimes they are even referred to as spike collars and there are misleading and false photos out there showing grotesque wounds on dogs' necks, but they aren't designed to work by poking, pricking, or God forbid, injuring your dog. They are designed to amplify the sensation of pressure, evenly all the way around the neck instead of concentrating it on the trachea and reduce interference with breathing or tra...

And that's the thing that is magic. It's not that it's a clicker, per se, it's what you do with it. You can use a clicker very ineffectively, too.

How We Teach Every Single Dog To "Stay"

Send a text This is such an important behavior to teach. Not only can it be a safety issue if you can't teach your dog to stay, but it also helps your dog learn to be calmer, more relaxed, accepting, and more focused. It surprises people that the dogs we train all learn to stay yet we never even say the word 'stay'. This is called the implied stay, and it's beneficial in many ways. Believe it or not, it's actually much easier for your dog to learn as they have to make fewer discriminati...

Are You "Suppressing" Your Dog's Behavior?

Off Leash And Unfiltered: The Truth In Dog Training ·

2026/02/20

Send a text One of the most irritating comments I see from other dog trainers are around "suppression". That's because when you punish or correct your dog's behavior, that is suppression by definition. Suppression is putting a stop to something. So in reality if you stop any behavior from being displayed that is suppression. Does suppression mean that the behavior will regenerate or resurface? No. Does it mean that it won't? No. Behavior is moving all the time! But knowing h...

Send a text The narrative on the internet, and pretty much everywhere, is that you should never make your dog uncomfortable. If you glance at FB you'll find endless arguments and accusations. The common theme is that aversives are never necessary. Pain, fear, discomfort are all bad and trainers that incorporate any of that into their training are also bad. Those trainers are also made to sound as though that's all they use. This has put those trainers in a position where many of them a...
