Meet Baxter
This page is built from the sessions themselves — what was filmed and what was said in it. It carries no intake notes and no owner interview, because none were recorded for Baxter. Every quote below links to the second it was said, so you can check it.
What these sessions show
What happens in a first dog training session?
Does my dog actually know the command?
So teaching him what the e-collar means and then using leash pressure with that can reduce the amount of pressure you have to put down on the leash, right?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
He'll take off, and who knows where he'll be before I get him back.
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
I tend to walk him off-leash when I'm walking Tyson, so if Tyson pulls I'm only dealing with one of them, it just makes it easier, you know, I don't have 200 pounds pulling against me, so he gets off-leash a lot when I'm walking him, but he does stop, he'll stop, and I'll be down there before I realize I don't hear him, he's walking behind me, so he knows.
Should I let my dog sniff before training?
What toy should I use to train my dog?
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
How many rules should my dog have?
My dog shuts down during training
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
Is it worth training an aggressive dog?
Why do I need training if the trainer does it?
How does my dog know when he can stop?
So the release word, you have to say it every time after you recall the dog.
What is the difference between come and let's go?

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.
