For those of you who’ve trained with us in the past: what was the moment that made you finally decide to invest in dog training? We ask because so many dog owners are standing right where you once stood wondering if training is “worth it,” questioning if they’re overreacting, or hoping things will magically improve on their own. If you’re comfortable sharing, drop your story below. You never know who might read your comment and realize they’re not alone, and that change is actually possible.

Join us tonight at 7pm as we announce the 2026 GWK9 scholarship winner!!

We do triangle drills (almost) daily. We typically use the commands "kennel", "place", and "come". When Nara is in her kennel/told the kennel command she knows she has to stay in there until I give her the "free" command. So, of course, when doing triangle drills she hesitates to come out of the kennel when I give her a command that's not "free". Which is usually really great! However, it's weird when doing triangle drills to say "free", then another command almost immediately. Mostly because she then thinks we're just done with the triangle drills, walks off, and then I'm reigning her back in with another command to finish out session. Any suggestions?

The holidays are coming in hot (and so are the in-laws, the doorbells, the road trips and the chaotic living rooms). Before we dive into all the training tips and how-to’s, we want to hear from YOU: 👉 What are you hoping your dog can do by the holidays? Maybe it’s: ✨ Not barking every time someone walks in ✨ Being able to settle around guests ✨ Handling travel like a champ ✨ Not stealing Christmas cookies off the counter ✨ Surviving the cousin’s toddlers 😅 ✨ Or simply being able to relax with the family Drop your goals in the comments. Big or small, we want to hear it so we can tailor our content towards your goals.

Oh my gosh! I am so happy to report that my wife and I have begun confidence training with our pup, and its been a GAME CHANGER. Remember when you and I had our initial call and you mentioned that Cash is reactive due to lack of confidence? Well ever since starting confidence training, he has had less barking, freely goes into the shower to be bathed AND has started aserting his dominance to his alpha brother when he use to cower. (His actual litter mate who is 15lbs bigger than him, not ourdog but Cash sees him when my wife brings him to work with her). Hes also gotten much better with his "heel" command, and I hardly have to say it, AND he isn't as much of a velcro puppy anymore lol. Hes getting confident!!! 😁❤️
