What these sessions show
What toy should I use to train my dog?
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
So, I'm going to start using a little bit stronger negative reinforcement here.
Does my dog actually know the command?
So, I'm just going to layer it over the leash pressure a little bit for now.
What happens in a first dog training session?
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
So, I negative re- reinforced there because he decided to kind of blow off the recall there.
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
With the let's go and then just keep walking.
How do I calm a stressed dog?
Yeah, but for Astro's training, the things that are going to matter the most are going to be really just three things.
How many rules should my dog have?
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
I want to see a specific reaction in his facial and body language.
Should I let my dog sniff before training?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
I would have popped and then popped the e-collar and then I would have also used what's called social pressure.
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
One context is when they are in find your own fun.
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
Turn it down to what's more of a working level for him.
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
I feel like on trails in the sub, or sidewalks, we got it down, but as soon as we were in a trail, they only wanted me to use a six-foot leash moving forward with him, and it was impossible to stop every time on a trail to have him.
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
My dog doesn't react to correction at all
My dog shuts down during training
How does my dog know when he can stop?
SO, he's got to wait until he hears a release word before he can get up.
Should my dog heel for the whole walk?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
So that causes a little bit of confusion and then from there you let them return to baseline which I'm going to have to do after we finish this because we're kind of doing a few trials here within it.
What level should an e-collar be set to?
Where should I train my dog?

Recognize your own dog in this?
Most people who call us have already been told their dog is a lost cause, or that they should manage it and hope. We train dogs in Angier, Raleigh and across the Triangle, and we take the serious aggression and reactivity cases that other programs turn down.
How it works: tell us what your dog is actually doing. We tell you honestly whether we can help, including when the answer is no. If we can, you leave with a plan and a start date.
What you get back is a dog whose world gets bigger instead of smaller.
