What these sessions show
What happens in a first dog training session?
How many rules should my dog have?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
I could either let her just keep doing what she's doing if it's not bothering him, or I can give her a let's go and that kind of like gets her off of him, right?
My dog shuts down during training
So the biggest thing is not applying too much pressure.
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
Does my dog actually know the command?
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
Where should I train my dog?
So, like these days I have like Home Depot, downtown engineer, and then the area like the park.
Why do I need training if the trainer does it?
My dog doesn't react to correction at all
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
Not I'm being stimulated by the e-collar, which makes me think this animal's bad.
What level should an e-collar be set to?
What toy should I use to train my dog?

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.
