Two personalities. More life together.
Roxy and Ramsey’s Angier K9 story follows two dogs learning useful skills for shared family life. Public outings, responsive handling, and owner participation bring their individual progress into one household’s experience.
What these sessions show
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
So, those are the ones I focused on the hardest was off leash capability.
What happens in a first dog training session?
What toy should I use to train my dog?
So then like they can play with their toys on their own.
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
If he jumps and kind of like freaks out a little bit, but then goes, "All right, cool." It's okay.
Does my dog actually know the command?
So I'm just kind of just sensitizing the any form of leash pressure whether we use the flexi or like 10 foot, whatever.
How do I calm a stressed dog?
Where should I train my dog?
He's pretty like publicly like public publicly neutral at this point.
My dog doesn't react to correction at all
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
So, it's all about like you have that choice point.
Should I let my dog sniff before training?
Walking around, sniffing things, laying down, chewing on their bone.
How many rules should my dog have?
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
So, like I said, if the dog's fixating, you're trying to go this way, you say let's go and it's kind of like a let's move this way.
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
One, she has commands that she understands, and she understands how to respond when you either penalize or when you use negative reinforcement.
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
You just trust them to not make bad choices.
How do I stop my dog reacting to other dogs?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
Why is my trainer so blunt about the risks?
How does my dog know when he can stop?
My dog shuts down during training
Why do I need training if the trainer does it?
Should my dog heel for the whole walk?
What level should an e-collar be set to?

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.
