What these sessions show
What happens in a first dog training session?
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
How many rules should my dog have?
So then like if they walk by and every and they don't do anything, right, as an example, they don't react to the other dog or the cat or whatever it is, you go, "Oh, good job.
My dog doesn't react to correction at all
We'll just eat some lunch and maybe talk a little.
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
So I use it frequently because it provides stress relief.
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
What toy should I use to train my dog?
One of their toys gets taken away, or as they get older, like, different, whatever's valuable to them at that time, they give you access to it.
Why do I need training if the trainer does it?
So it's right there, and you'll develop muscle memory, where if you need to, you can quickly get to it.
Where should I train my dog?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
I don't know if I just need to leave more time for the reset, like for the baseline, uh to return to normal in between the reps, but I've been leaving a pretty long period of time, you know?
Should I let my dog sniff before training?
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
Does my dog actually know the command?
So she came off the leash pressure there for a second.
How do I calm a stressed dog?
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
So, one context is the find your own fun window.
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
Instead of that I like to allow for choice points.
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
How do I stop my dog reacting to other dogs?
How do I train my dog to be off leash?

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.
