Nacho crushed it with his time living with me and my family. From a dog who did everything his own way and was very dog reactive to a very obedient companion.

A couple things I really liked about his program was being able to get my mom in on the training so he was able to generalize the commands better and his attitude in doing the obedience - especially for mixed with either husky or akita.

We've got our second go-home lesson scheduled here soon too so I'm excited to see what there might be to clean up to ensure he's minding well at home too.

Great work Nacho!

Brick video #1 with eval video from months ago

10/25/2026

Welcome Brick to the pack.

Brick is here for board and train mostly because he just needs a lot more confidence.

At home, when people try to interact with him and he feels pressured, he can get overwhelmed pretty quickly. That’s unfortunately turned into a couple bites, but I think the bigger issue is that he just really doesn’t seem comfortable in his own skin yet.

He’s nervous, unsure of himself, and honestly just doesn’t act much like a dog sometimes.

So a lot of what we’re going to be doing with him is just helping him loosen up, feel safer, and learn that people interacting with him doesn’t always have to feel like such a big deal.

His family wants him safer at home, more comfortable in the car, and ideally confident and reliable enough down the road that they can give him more freedom, including off leash.

He’s a really sweet, cuddly guy underneath all of it.

So for Brick, this is going to be less about making him super obedient and more about helping him feel better about life in general.

Welcome, Brick.

I didn't really know what to post for Buck's update video since his obedience was already pretty good and I lean more towards behavior than obedience. That being said how I cleaned up his distance down was kind of interesting.

He wasn't going directly down out in the open, but he knew how to down well out of heel. So what I did was I'd put him in heel, release him and then ask for a down while he was mentally still halfway in the heel command. From there we increased how far he'd go after being released from the heel before asking for a down and then generalized it to other situations.

Essentially, we found the last spot where the foundation was strong and took incremental steps going forward. It's cool working dogs that make you think.

Nacho Week 3 - Progress report from downtown. He's technically wearing a leash and an e collar, though neither of which were used, so this is what it would have looked like fully off leash.

Nacho Week 2!

Welcome Buck back to the pack.

Buck is a German Wirehaired Pointer who started with me as a private lesson client about 5–6 months ago. His owners are from Taos and actually found me through the Training Without Conflict website — luckily they didn’t realize Linda Porter in Cañon City was closer 😅😂

When we first started, Buck listened pretty well to dad but was way more willing to push mom around. That eventually turned into a bite when she told him what to do.

He’s really a nice dog, he’s just a lot of dog sometimes. He can be hard, persistent, and pretty convinced he should get a say in things, so a lot of the work has just been making the rules clearer and making sure both owners can follow through.

Since then we’ve built up their training foundation, worked play into the relationship, and most importantly he hasn’t gone after mom again. She can handle him now when dad leaves for business trips, which is a huge win.

This time he’s only here for a week while his owners are traveling, so it’s more of a tune-up than a full reset. I’m going to get him out in public and downtown a bunch since they don’t really have access to that kind of environment in Taos.

The basic idea is just to make what he already knows hold up in harder places. If he can keep his brain together around traffic, people, dogs, noise, and everything else downtown throws at him, that should carry over into the rest of his life too, including hunting.

His owners are also just great people to work with. They’ve put in the work, they actually follow through, and Buck is a much better dog for it.

He’s also a total goof with a toy and will sometimes buck around like a horse.

No pun intended.

Since he’s only here for a week, we may only get one video out of him this time, but I’m excited to see how much we can tighten up while he’s here.

Welcome back, Buck

Nacho Week 1 - Going very well. There's no reason to go slowly if the dog you're training is ready for more.

Graduation Test — PASS ✅

This guy came in with a few pretty normal but annoying issues. He would dart through doors, pull like crazy on leash, and he was a little weird about cars.

The walk is probably the biggest change.

He went from basically army crawling into the leash with his owner to walking through the neighborhood off leash, with no e-collar on, and only needing a couple verbal reminders.

For the graduation test, I’m looking for:

1 minute of walking in public
Off-leash recall
1 minute stay in public
At least 1 distance command
Fluency through the different windows

Doing it all in one shot, off leash and with no e-collar on, is a lot harder than making a TikTok out of the best 5 seconds.

He also starts the video sitting at the gate instead of blasting through it, and at the end he holds a distance sit with a car nearby, which was cool to see given where he started.

The windows weren’t the cleanest they’ve ever been, but he’s also naturally a pretty chill dog, so that part just isn’t as important for him as it would be for a dog that has a hard time settling or switching gears.

By “windows,” I just mean whether the dog understands when we’re interacting, when we’re doing obedience, when he’s free to go be a dog, and when it’s time to just chill.

Not perfect, but a pretty huge difference from where he started.

Welcome Nacho to the pack.

Nacho is here with us for board and train to work on reactivity around other dogs and some of the over-arousal that shows up for him in the car.

He’s a very forward dog — not really the kind of dog the world happens to. He tends to happen to the world.

His family’s goal is a simple one: they want a more “normal” dog they can take on a walk together as a family and enjoy. So that’s where we’re headed — calmer outings, better responses, and a dog who can move through the world with a little more clarity and a little less chaos.

He’s a nice guy with a few funny quirks too. One of them is scratching himself so dramatically that he’ll actually vocalize while he does it. I’ll have to get a video of that one later.

Excited to get to work with him.

Welcome, Nacho.
