The finished client story
Trust, play, and a stronger connection.
Bo’s Angier K9 story follows a developing connection: play and exploration, work with different handlers, public practice, and his owner taking an active role in the learning.
What these sessions show
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
I'm going to put him on the long line.
What toy should I use to train my dog?
Does my dog actually know the command?
You can see he's very sensitive to a little bit of leash pressure there.
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
I don't have to use any kind of aids or negative reinforcement or give out a lot of treats or anything like that.
What happens in a first dog training session?
So, you're watching him learn it in real time.
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
So, what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to switch him onto the six foot leash.
How many rules should my dog have?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
My dog won't take treats when he is nervous
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
I mean, he when I first went to pick him up, he would be like he would bark a whole bunch and just freak out at people or dogs.
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
He spent that entire time in the find your own fun window.
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
My dog shuts down during training
How do I stop my dog bolting or escaping?
So, it's like a backup collar that if he like pulled out of the collar or something like that, that would still be on.
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
How does my dog know when he can stop?
So he knows that he's supposed to keep doing whatever it is you asked him to do until you give him the release word.
How do I get my dog to calm down and think?
He knows he can make the pressure go away by doing the thing that I asked him to do, right?
Where should I train my dog?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
As soon as we did the prediction error, we can just let him return to normal second.

Recognize your own dog in this?
Most people who call us have already been told their dog is a lost cause, or that they should manage it and hope. We train dogs in Angier, Raleigh and across the Triangle, and we take the serious aggression and reactivity cases that other programs turn down.
How it works: tell us what your dog is actually doing. We tell you honestly whether we can help, including when the answer is no. If we can, you leave with a plan and a start date.
What you get back is a dog whose world gets bigger instead of smaller.

Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo — Focus Training/Heels/Recalls 11! #dogtrainer #dogtraining #shorts #dog #dogshorts
Mostly narration over brief footage: the trainer describes Bo checking out nearby people on a long line and moving on without an obedience cue, then explains why dogs need choices and how to respond when a choice goes wrong.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo—Public Access Training Pt. 4
A four-minute segment with three small things in it.

concept tagsAngier K9 | Bo—Public Access Training Pt. 2
Four minutes in a parking lot before a store visit, and the whole value of it is one honest minute.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo—Public Access Training Pt. 1
A calm, low-demand outing: Bo gets time to explore before down practice and a visit to a busy, dog-friendly store. The trainer asks for a cleaner down, then pauses to talk with someone in the store.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo — Focus Training/Heels
A short owner-facing progress clip cut from the end of a long unrecorded session at Bass Lake.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo Meets Taz in Home Depot!
Little narration, lots of practice: Bo works sit, come, down and heel in a busy store while two other dogs share the aisles. Repeated down cues and reminders to go all the way down show what the handler is asking for.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo Learning In Home Depot!
Bo's first published store session, and the one that states most of his history.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo — Focus Training/Recalls
An early session in Bo's program, filmed as a teaching video.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo — Focus Training/Recalls pt. 2
A quiet, deliberately low-distraction session with two jobs.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo — Public Training/Heels
Bo works on heel in public, and it is still a struggle here. The trainer accepts a single pace match, tests down on a new surface with less leash help, and skips another down to let Bo decompress after the harder heel work.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo Recalls/Heels pt. 2
Mostly a trail conversation, with brief down practice and a look at Bo's limited interest in the ball. The trainer explains that he is trying to build that interest and discusses how play can support motivation and engagement.

A seventeen-minute proofing walk at Bass Lake Park, and the single most informative Bo session in this set.
Session summaryAngier K9 | Bo at the Park—Training and Play
