THINK BIG PICTURE
Fun, Freedom & Opportunity

The ultimate goal for many of us is to provide our dogs with a lifetime of opportunity, fun, and freedom. To achieve this, we must be mindful not to compromise their future by making short-term, impulsive decisions that may feel kind in the moment. Our dogs don’t always know what’s best for them — it’s up to us to make thoughtful choices that protect their long-term well-being.

“MY DOG’S FRIENDLY”

Option 1.0 Translation:
I have no recall, and I’m relying on the hope that everything will go well. Your dog’s comfort, boundaries, or training goals aren’t really part of my consideration—I just assume all dogs want to meet mine. I genuinely love dogs, but I haven’t thought through how my actions might affect yours. And if you object, I might see you as the problem—because, after all, my dog’s friendly.

REACTIVITY/LEASH AGGRESSION
8 Lesson Package

8x 45 min lessons: $940 
(Includes $50 store credit for equipment) 

This is a private lesson package, carefully developed to assist with these behavioural issues. Your trainer does have access to dogs which can be used in these sessions.

A private lesson format is the best option for these cases, as it provides a more careful mechanism to introduce dogs and to start the counter conditioning process, leading to real results.

Once working through the private lesson package you will be far better equipped to join a class.

The missing piece for so many handlers is developing reliable behaviour in distracting and new environments. “My dog is great at home, but they completely dip out and give me nothing in new places.” We’ve all been there and it’s disheartening. Engagement isn’t about focus. We can teach focus as a simple exercise. Engagement is an attitude. It’s a dog’s desire to be with its handler, interact with them and a reflection of the value the dog places in them, over all other environmental factors.

We often receive comments like this on our How to Break Up a Dog Fight video.

Grandfathers often have great stories—many with elements of truth and genuine experience. But in this case, the advice being shared doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

Applying sharp pain or discomfort during an adrenaline-charged moment is far more likely to escalate the aggression than to resolve it. Even if it “worked” once or twice, that doesn’t validate the method or mean there isn’t a safer, more effective approach.

And putting practicality aside—who’s really carrying those items on a casual walk with their dog?

--------------------------------
CAUTION: Intervening in a dog fight is extremely dangerous and poses serious risk to anyone involved. Every situation is different—there’s no single approach that fits all scenarios.

For further guidance, watch our pinned video: How To Break Up A Dog Fight.

FREE SHAPING
Dave's thoughts.

Dave began his training career in zoos back in 1996, where free shaping played a major role. In many zoo environments, especially with limited access to certain animals, free shaping is often the most practical method available.

In this post, Dave shares his insights on the strengths of free shaping, some of the challenges that can arise, and a few key contingencies to keep in mind when applying it.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences—what’s worked for you, and what hasn’t?
