Wyse Dog Training

01/14/2025

Proud to announce that I am now a Training Without Conflict (TWC) Certified Dog Trainer!

When I first started, I knew very little about dog training and struggled with my own dogs. That struggle pushed me to seek out the best in the business, and it’s been a transformative journey ever since.

Earning this certification wasn’t easy—it took a lot of hard work, dedication, and growth. I’m so glad I stuck it out because not only have I reached this incredible milestone, but I’ve also gained a supportive community of some of the most talented and passionate dog trainers in the industry.

While this is a major step forward, I know there’s still so much more to learn. I’m excited for what lies ahead and can’t wait to continue helping dogs and their owners build stronger, more rewarding relationships.

A huge thank you to and for giving me a shot, all the behind the scenes effort, and sharing all your knowledge! 💪🏻

Had a great session with Nola yesterday! After working her in a public setting with people, dogs and cars around without issue, we talked about muzzle training. I had given the owner some homework to see if she could get the muzzle on the dog using the typical approach of conditioning it with food. It didn’t go well…

I had figured this would be the case so we took an entirely different approach. I played a bit with her and then eventually put the ball in my pocket, took the muzzle out and tried to put it on her. She wanted nothing to do with it and dodged every attempt so I told her “no” and that was the end of it… I could then slip the muzzle right on!

I would not be able to do this with any dog off the street. I relied on everything I had built with the dog up until this point. The dog trusted me and knew I would not let her down! The secret is as simple as building trust!

As we were packing up to head home something amazing happened. I picked up the muzzle to hand off to the owner and Nola ran over to me. She sat before me and put her head up high. She actually wanted me to put the muzzle on her! I put it on her one last time and of course gave her as much praise as I could possibly give. Moments like these are what I love about dog training!

Some video of me working Jerry the other day! Everything is very calculated in this video. It’s not just playing with the dog but actually providing information in a way they understand and can learn.

Jerry froze up the first time I taught him to down with a leash pop. He was terrified because he didn’t understand that he can overcome it. We worked through that together. He still does not like when I pop the leash and that is intentional. We have genetic programing to avoid something bad and go towards things that are good. If you don’t know how to tap into this programming correctly the dog will suffer.

Another session at the field with my dogs. I am not the trainer that makes dogs place and be in a down stay for an hour. I like for my dogs to understand how to actually make decisions in the real world. If they are constantly having to follow a command you are giving to them, they cannot be learning how to behave when out of command and free.

This is the first time doing down stays in at least 6 months. It’s not something that needs to be trained all the time if you understand how to teach it correctly. Something else that should be noted is the amount of time I spend playing with the dog vs the amount of time I am asking them to do something. Until the dog loves to perform the command itself the reward phase needs to be much longer or eventually the motivation will phase out.

I want to start uploading longer videos to show people what a typical training session looks like when I take my dogs out. Most often I am not focusing my time on obedience because I know it’s only good if my dog has motivation.

To get proper motivation you have to able to put the dogs needs first. Proper motivation is not achieved by force. I take the e collar off Duke about halfway through the video to show this. He also didn’t initially play ball with me and I do not force him to play. I gave him time and he eventually opens up. If you are interested in 15 minutes of a regular session with Duke check out the link below…

Some key takeaways from this video - Duke would not play with me at first. I didn’t rush it and force him to play. Dogs will play when they are not n...

My type of dog training! Freedom is so important for every dog. If you have an out of control dog I’d love to show you how this can be achieved. Contact us today!

Grey is coming along nicely! Still haven’t given the dog any food at all. Just tapping into what he loves to do most. Such a cool dog!

It might not seem like much but to have a 4 month old dog willingly choose to bring the ball back rather than go see the random dog is a big deal! The future is bright for this guy 🙌🏻

Really happy with Lola’s understanding of play! Apparently she didn’t know that humans could bark 😂
