Behind the scenes for the last year, I have been working on a complete one year puppy raising and training support program.

After feedback from breeders, and beta test litters, it’s finally open for public enrollment.

Can’t wait to see you inside!

You’ve heard trainers say “relax your arm” when walking your dog.
But no one explains why.

If your arm is constantly holding tension on the leash, the collar feels tight all the time.

So how is your dog supposed to learn what loose leash walking feels like… if they never actually feel it? You have to relax your arm so your dog can experience walking next to you without pressure on the collar.

That way, when the collar does tighten, it’s information, “hmm, something changed.” They pulled. And if they can feel the difference, they can adjust and loosen it themselves. If you’re holding constant tension, you’re teaching them that tight is normal.

Relax your arm. Let them learn what loose actually feels like.

“Is he one of those Malinois dogs?” 🙃

I couldn’t resist this trend. Whiskey is about knee high and 60lbs of muscle. According to his DNA he’s 23 different dogs and his biggest percent was Chihuahua. I know a lot of trainers have pure breed dogs, which I 💯 support. It’s common for people to think he’s a Belgian Malinois, and I get it, I’m a dog trainer, he’s well trained, and he has similar coloring. But no, he’s a mix, and truthfully if he was a specific breed, I’d get two more 💛
