It's true.  Sometimes dogs hold us together.

Our dogs have become family and because of that we need them to be good.... like in front of people... so we can take them more places.

There's also the other side of the coin.  They are our family and we tend to ignore or just "put up with" behavior that could easily be changed.
The thing is dog behavior so often mirrors your own behavior and you never even realize it.

That's why you can put up with it, and that's why it irritates you.

Same with things you think about yourself.

One of the really cool things I've found in dog training is when one comes to understand that a dog really is "in the moment", life begins to open up in so many ways.  Stop holding on to the past.  Stop worrying about the future.  Make right now the exact way you want it to be.... just for the moment....

It is the fabric of happiness all the time..
The moments.
Combined.

Training your dog is not a drudgery... it can be something that you do while having fun... in the moment.


Here's what this dog, buddy worked on for training today.

It's really about "sit" & "stay", and based on the chances your dog will actually do that is the amount of safety you really have with your dog.

I love the fact that dogs can really learn this stuff so quickly.  It sure does make life more fun for every one.

At least I think so...

Buddy is such a cool dog.  He loves a ball, and he loves to exercise.  Both very good things for a dog like Buddy.

It's really cool to see how to use a game of playing ball turn into a sure fire way to get your dog to come every single time...

with or without the ball!

That rocks!

Ok, off to hang out with Buddy again, have some fun...

Being a professional dog trainer requires something many don't really think about as being an important skill... listening to people.

I have found that it is one of the big secrets to my dog training success.  And one of the things I hear over and over is in the video above.  "I don't like to go to dog training class; it usually isn't scheduled at a convenient time, and the skeeters come out and I can't hear the trainer, and, and and..."

So, the making of this program was for so many more people to be able to gain success at training your own dog, on your own time, from your own home.

Not that dog training classes are bad.. there are ALOT of good ones.. including our private locations... but we wanted to bring success in dog training to many more people... so here it is.

Since we are introducing it, we'd really like you to come check out one of our live sessions.  And if you can't make leave a comment, we'll be sure to get you the recorded version. 

And so....

Your are invited..... yes you and your dog...

to our next live dog training webcast.

Come watch all the fun you can have with your dog using what we call "place"... which really is an absolute rockin' way to teach a dog to "stay" anywhere... even when the cat saunters by...

No kidding....

So come here... Dog Training Webcast

And we'll be live to answer all your burning questions about your dog.


Meet Sugar. She is a model of good behavior and one wild child when on the run.

And Sugar LOVES to run! Plus she is wicked fast!!
She can come and go again in the blink of an eye.

Good thing for her she has been enrolled in our training program. She enjoys all the freedom that being off leash brings. 

Good thing for her human she is enrolled in our program. Mom can feel secure that Sugar can run wild but will come back as soon as she is called. No worries. 

And just like Sugar, the training works fast. In as little as 14 days your dog can experience the joy of being off leash as well.

Jt and I have been building this kind of relationship for people and their dogs for a long time, and now you can do it too. 


And let em' Run!



I know its hard to believe but I think sometimes we forget about the whole reason to have a dog...

It's really to have someone that is so loyal its ridiculous.  And it's to have someone smile and wag, no matter what you mood you come home in.

And these days in many cases, it's some one you can trust to sleep with.  I mean get that relaxed rest we used to get when we were kids.

But... when the dog is a pain in the ass... he's so out of control you end up pissed all the time because he's eaten something...

You can't take him walking or running...
its really not fun to get pulled down the sidewalk and into the street...
oops the neighbors cat ran to hide...
so sorry about your arm....

Letting him off the leash is a nightmare... who knows where he'd stop running....

How To Fix Your Dog

Yep, it can be done... any age dog, any age person...

It really is about getting your dog's attention... in the moment...

It's how a dog learns.  How they get it.

The dog in the video... have that...

You Can Train Your Dog To Do Anything, Right Now... Today...

Instant Results... Lasting Impressions...

Dear Dog Friend,

I know that sounds absurd, but it's not.

With remote collar dog training you can have your dog learn anything....

the first day you train him.

Honestly, I know that sounds ridiculous. I used to think that way as well.

But, as I learned more about it and gave it a try on my own dogs I was astounded.

That was when I decided to really study it. And man am I glad I did.

It's the Quickest, Easiest, Safest Way To Train Your Dog

I don't know about you, but my dogs have a tendency to be a little fired up about things.

Fired up most the time looks like "out of control"...

When I figured out that remote collar did nothing more than get my dog's attention...

in any kind of noise, and that it could do it instantly...

Quite frankly, I was like, "Yeah, right..."

But then I put it to the test on my own dogs... and wow.

It actually worked, just like that. Trained Frickin Dog!

Why Does Remote Collar Work So Quickly?

It's a matter of technology. It's a matter of discovering how a dog actually learns...

and then being able to get attention in that moment.

It's that simple. Really.

Remote collar works because your dog learns and thinks in pictures....

that means, "in-the-moment"

Not after the fact.

Right now.

So, if I'm able to reach out and tap my dog on the shoulder from any distance

in any kind of noise and chaos...

I have an instant result... and it a very cool thing.

I don't know about you, but I find it to be a bit embarrassing when

I do things like start yelling at my dog in front of people because he isn't listening.

Or making excuses like... "I haven't taken him for his run yet today...."

When I learned that dogs learn in the moment

and that with this wireless leash thing

I could get my dog's attention in the moment and he'd actually learn......

I was not only astounded that I hadn't realized that before...

but I was WAY stoked that I had a way to actually teach my dog something...

that he could actually learn and learn it that day... not after hammering away at it for week...

or even months.

Geez, I know people it's been years. Still no trained dog.

Right now. Today. How cool is that?

What Pro Dog Trainers Don't Want You To Know

Honestly, one of the reasons that people pay dog trainers so much money

I mean if you want to get a dog that is really trained....

it's simply about consistency. Period.

DogTrainingCollar.png spends most the time teaching how to get consistency

and that consistency is about one thing....

Attention.

How do you get your dog's attention while the kids are running around,

food in their hands, door bell ringing..... dog barking...

How are you going to get consistent then?

Quite frankly it takes a lot of time, and therefore a lot of money

to get your dog trained. Time is money right?

Remote collar quickly and easily makes training your dog fast, simple, and

the cost is incredibly affordable.

Even better, you don't have to admit to your friends,

"Yeah I took him to training but he doesn't get it."

And inside be cringing about the thousands of dollars you ended up spending...

on the training....

the couch....

the last 7 pairs of flip flops....

the console of the car.....

oh yeah... and the entire house needs new carpet....

And for you, it doesn't matter what kind of experience you do or don't have training dogs.

And the pulling and pushing, sometimes even trying to stay on your feet while your dog goes wild...

that all goes away... so training is not only fun for you... but a lot safer too.

So Here Is What You Should Know

* Remote collar is perfectly safe for your dog

* You Can Get Immediate Results Today

* Age Is Not A Factor

* Other Methods Can Even Harm Your Dog While Remote Collar is Safe & Proven

How great is it to watch your dog run and play, free from the confines of the leash?

That freedom is what your dog enjoys most. It is what he craves but unfortunately in today's society it is what very few of us can give to our dog. We have to worry about whether he will listen and come back or if he will chase a cat out into the street or will he jump on the neighbor's 3 year old. 

But there is a way to train your dog that is easy and fast. Jt and I have been teaching this for years and now you can learn it from home. 

Check out what other dog lovers like yourself had to say about the program.

Thor

Meet Thor, the pitbull terrier formerly known as Folger. 

Borrowed from the humane society for the making of a video.  

Was he a good candidate for a bit of obedience training?
Oh yeah, he had springs in his butt! Jumping on everyone and everything. 

Barking? yep, until he was nearly hoarse. 

Strong? Forget about taking this boy for a nice walk, he could give Arnold Schwarzenegger a run for his money.

So why pick him for the making of an instructional dog training DVD? Because he was as wild as they come and the goal of the work was to show how simple techniques can help a dog to learn good manners in a very short amount of time. 

So what happened after the shoot?.....well, we fell in love with that smiling face. So, we adopted him and put in a couple weeks of training time. And then found him his new home. 

And has he lived happily ever after? Yes! At last check in, he is spending his time running off leash on trails near the river, learning to run alongside his owners bicycle and spending time lounging on the couch with mom. 

Let's hear it for happy endings! 







Gracie is a rescue dog who was trained using a remote collar.  She learned to be off leash in less than 14 days.  She is stoked about it.. and her new family is stoked about it too.

The use of training collars has been around for a long time, but now with technology, like everything else ... communication has become much easier even with your dog.

The tip of the day is when you are attempting to get your dog to do anything... be proactive.  In other words be ready to help out and create the right picture BEFORE your dog does the wrong one.

By letting a dog like Gracie who is a lab doberman mix and rescued from a shelter, see a picture where she is told to do something, for instance "come here", she doesn't do it and then you either go and get her, or pull her on a leash ... THEN she comes... THAT is in fact what she thinks she's supposed to be doing.  No logic right?  Pictures only for a dog.

Amazingly enough, Gracie thinks the order of things below is what she is supposed to be doing, because the situation tends to happen over and over again...

    she is told to come here
    
    she ignores you, does her own thing

    she waits for the tug on the leash...or you go get her, or you just remembered to tap on the training collar.

    THEN she comes to you.

Instead plan to set it up so the action you want you can create as you tell her... just like in the dog training video.

It's so cool when your dog "gets it".

Now go out and have some fun!

We'd like to know where your dog sleeps!

Here's why.

Many people are literally afraid to talk to a trainer about getting their dog trained simply because I'm told they are worried the trainer is going to tell them they can't sleep with their dog!!

Personally, I always tell people... you don't have to worry about that with me... I'm a professional dog trainer.. and guess where my dog sleeps?!!

Tell us where your dog sleeps... its very interesting to us... and it does help us with how to help you with what you want from your dog.
