Breed and intake details are owner-reported. Age refers to the intake date.

What these sessions show
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
I'm going to put him on the long line.
What toy should I use to train my dog?
Does my dog actually know the command?
You can see he's very sensitive to a little bit of leash pressure there.
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
I don't have to use any kind of aids or negative reinforcement or give out a lot of treats or anything like that.
What happens in a first dog training session?
So, you're watching him learn it in real time.
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
So, what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to switch him onto the six foot leash.
How many rules should my dog have?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
My dog won't take treats when he is nervous
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
I mean, he when I first went to pick him up, he would be like he would bark a whole bunch and just freak out at people or dogs.
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
He spent that entire time in the find your own fun window.
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
My dog shuts down during training
How do I stop my dog bolting or escaping?
So, it's like a backup collar that if he like pulled out of the collar or something like that, that would still be on.
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
How does my dog know when he can stop?
So he knows that he's supposed to keep doing whatever it is you asked him to do until you give him the release word.
How do I get my dog to calm down and think?
He knows he can make the pressure go away by doing the thing that I asked him to do, right?
Where should I train my dog?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
As soon as we did the prediction error, we can just let him return to normal second.

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.
