FUNDAMENTALS OF DOG TRAINING!
No fluff. Just truth and the tough love you need! Because we really need to go back to basics!!

1 CONSISTENCY!!
You can't say No on Monday and "ah it's fine" on Tuesday. Dogs need black and white. You give grey, you get chaos.

2 STRUCTURE ISN'T CRUEL, IT'S KIND
Boundaries, rules, place, lead. It's not mean. It's what makes your dog feel safe. No structure makes an anxious dog! People’s perception of kindness is pretty warped now!

3 GENETICS DON'T LIE
You can't train out breed. That drive, that guarding, that hunt it's in their DNA. Stop fighting it and start understanding it and working with it.

4 YOUR ENERGY RUNS THE HOUSE
If you're chaotic, stressed, inconsistent, emotional, unreliable - so is your dog. Fix your mindset before you try to fix your dog.

5 MANAGEMENT BEFORE MAGIC
You want off lead freedom before you've nailed on lead control. You want cuddles before calm.
Do the boring basics.
Every. Single. Day.

6 WORK! NOT QUICK FIXES.
This wasn't created in a day, it won't be fixed in a day. You’ve broken it you need to fix it! Go back to #1 Consistency!!!

I don't tell you what you want to hear!!
I tell you what your dog needs.

Not only teaching the dog impulse control, but also giving the dog an outlet for his high prey drive.😎
