If you struggle with getting a release off of toys or bite objects, or if you just want a sophisticated look at a dog‘s motivation around toys via fight, possession, prey (chase) behavior, and getting cooperation (release or toy return), watch this video. Obviously,...
I know, I said I'd do a better job keeping up my blog. What can I say? I suck. Anyway, Xen is coming up on his one-year birthday! He's making really nice progress in his training. The following video shows training for "object guard". His job is to prevent me from...
I haven't written on my blog in many months. What happened?! All is well! I stopped running day-to-day operations at FDSA, and that freed up time to do what I am seriously passionate about - education. Free education, for the most part, because I spend a very high...

It was interesting to see how Gimme reacted to the different things you said and tone of voice. Some were really “special” and I’ll have to try them.

Just wanted to say that I am very much enjoying reading your blog and keeping up with your new puppy training!
She definitely loves the tug!!!! She is adorable!
I also enjoy reading your blog!
Beautiful session!
Fabulous session! You should not only be pleased with her but also yourself:o) She looks like such a fantastic pup to train!
