We’re glad you’re here. This is a space for dog owners who want to learn to think like trainers, share progress, and support each other while applying the 4 Pillars of my training system in everyday life. Here’s how to get started: 1️⃣ Watch the short welcome video in this post 2️⃣ Head to the Start Here mini-course for a quick orientation 3️⃣ Comment below with your dog’s name, breed, and one training goal you’re working on This community works best when everyone participates — so don’t be shy about sharing your wins, struggles, and training clips. We’re all here to learn and grow together. Excited to meet you and your dogs 🐾 — Jeff

This took some work. Taken over the course of 3 days, this video shows how I was able to take Rip from an extremely defensive and possessive state of mind to a place of clarity. This is not a behavior you fix with corrections, especially with a strong confident dog like Rip. He needs rules, but those rules have to be fair and make sense to him. This is just a foot in the door, we aren't near the finish line yet. This entire process was simply to set the stage for me to fully address his possessiveness.

We've had some complaints about spammers or bots DMing people. As a result I've turned the chat feature off for users under level 4 (you gain levels by posting, commenting etc.). If you have received any such messages please let me know and I'll report and block them. I believe you can also report said users fyi. This is meant to be a helpful community for dog owners and dog trainers alike to learn, share struggles and wins and get better together. I'll do my best to keep out the riff raff, it's unfortunately a reality of platforms like this however. We will also be moving to a paid community soon which will further keep out obnoxious users like that. On a lighter note: I was not able to get a new video up last week in the "how to train your dog" series due to being on a short vacation. I will get the next one up ASAP. That is all, let's all get back to training.

Big things are in the works for Paradigm K9's Dog Training Community. Get in the comments and offer up your opinions, questions, suggestions. I'm here for you guys and I wanna hear from ya!

Got my dog Major back from training today Jeff and Kala did a fantastic job with him now for us to keep up with training. Highly recommend them for dog training Thanks For everything you both did
