How often do you wish you could take your dog on a walk while pushing your kids in their stroller, but the pulling, distractions, or barking at other dogs and people make it feel impossible?

Family walks should be something you enjoy not something you dread. We can help your dog learn to walk calmly beside you so they can be part of those moments, too! 🐾

Send us a DM to set up a free consultation. Let’s work toward better walks together!

Week 1 stubborn puppy ➡️ Week 2 happy, confident puppy.

Maverick is a one year old German Shepherd getting introduced to the e collar. I’m asking him a question by telling him to lay down, and he’s trying to figure out the answer. It’s not scratching, shaking his head or walking in circles. He answers it by laying down!

Meet Gabby, she is a 100+ pound Great Dane who joined us for a week of leash training. Her pulling had become so strong that her owner could no longer safely walk her. They’d tried several training methods without success.

After a week of work, Gabby is heeling, walking on a loose leash, and learning to stay focused around distractions.

Resource guarding part 2

In our last video, we showed kane guarding a ball a behavior that led to two shelter returns. Kane is sweet with people and other animals; resource guarding is his only challenge.

After 3–4 days practicing “leave it,” he’s doing great with no growling or aggression. We will continue to document his progress!

Kane is here working on resource guarding. When he has a ball, he becomes very possessive. He will lay on top of it to protect it and has bitten hands multiple times when someone tries to take it.

Kane has bitten people and has been returned to the shelter twice because of his resource guarding. He was deemed aggressive at the shelter, when toys aren’t involved, he is a friendly, loving, and good boy. His owners want to learn how to stop this behavior and help him make better choices.

We are going to teach Kane “drop it” and “leave it,” along with consequences for biting.

Follow along for Part 2 of Kane’s journey with resource guarding!

Cool nights > hot days

Before you buy a new collar or harness for your dog, make sure you’re choosing the right gear. Pay attention to the buckles and hardware. I personally recommend avoiding cheap plastic buckles and going with strong metal buckles whenever possible, especially for larger or stronger dogs. Your gear is only as reliable as the weakest part holding it together.

Miela working on e-collar training with the Dogtra collar!

Before introducing an e-collar, your dog should already know their basic commands really well. The e-collar isn’t meant to teach a dog something new it helps reinforce commands they already understand.

It also shouldn’t hurt or scare them. Your dog shouldn’t jump, squeal, yelp, or act uncomfortable. We look for the smallest response, like an ear twitch or slight change in focus, to find their working level.
