Would you join a pack walk/outing class?

I highly recommend everyone giving this a watch. So much good information in here.
As always I highly recommend attending TWC. 

This video breaks down what an e-collar actually is and more importantly, how learning works when it matters most.
You’ll see a live self-demo so you understand exactly what the stimulation feels like, and why control, timing, and contingency matter more than the tool itself.
Some dogs do very well with positive reinforcement alone.
But if you’ve been training for months or years and your dog is still not reliable when it counts… especially with behaviors like poor recall, chasing, or high drive in real environments, then this video is for you.
This is not about replacing reinforcement!
It’s about understanding what happens when reinforcement no longer competes with reality.
What you’ll see:
What the e-collar really does (and what it doesn’t). Why “aversive” does not mean harm. How clear, immediate, avoidable consequences create understanding. Why avoidance is not the same as living in fear. Where redirection works and where it doesn’t.
At some point, every training system is tested the same way:
What happens when the dog is already committed?
That’s what this talk is about.

Gia Pet was in town, so of course I had to grab her and bring her home for a quick visit! I haven’t seen her since she went home after using her for my practical. I love this big girl.

Thank you again for letting me use her for school.

Fun times with friends, I don’t know how to break it to them that Betty goes home today.

Took a moment to pause and think if Betty and I wanted to hop a flight out of here before the hundred degree weather hits.

Betty White joined me at the farmers market this morning. I had a follow up with Ozzy and his family, they are doing a really good job with him.

Reactivity shouldn’t control your walks or your life with your dog.

Throwback to a training session working through bike triggers and helping her learn to stay present instead of reacting.

Anyone else working through reactivity?

Proof bulldogs can have self-control around food

I guess we should proof it in public too.
