Breed and intake details are owner-reported. Age refers to the intake date.
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 Zeus. Every quote below links to the second it was said, so you can check it.
What these sessions show
What toy should I use to train my dog?
You thought that my bag was a tug toy, you goofball.
How many rules should my dog have?
I just want Well, the thing with pulling is that basically when a dog pulls, they're basically finding that by pulling I'm getting what I want and that my experience is better than if I don't pull.
Does my dog actually know the command?
Boy, it's pretty quick that he'll start responding to leash pressure.
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
So there you can see like my body language makes a big difference, right?
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
I might end up using this long line today to do some um some work with him doing some play.
What level should an e-collar be set to?
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
What happens in a first dog training session?
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
Where should I train my dog?
I don't know if you, you might remember from one of my, in the training yard.
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
Should I let my dog sniff before training?
How does my dog know when he can stop?
So come and then his release word is okay.
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
My dog shuts down during training
We'll probably work on it another time uh later today.
How do you safely work with an aggressive dog?
Otherwise, I'd be wearing a full bite suit, to be frank.
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
How do I get my dog to calm down and think?
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
So if they go, oh, if Zeus jumps and freaks out, like really freaks out, then it was too high.
What is the difference between come and let's go?
Should I pull my dog into position?

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.
