Operation New LeashTrain the dog. Equip the veteran.Learn to train the dog you live with.
Private lessons keep the owner in the middle of the process. You receive one-on-one coaching, clear weekly practice, and a plan shaped around your dog, home, schedule, and goals.
Seven lessons with a purpose
The order can change based on the dog. Duration, distance, and distraction are not separate commands—they are built into each skill as the team becomes ready.
- 1
Start with the dog in front of us
The trainer reviews history, routines, goals, motivation, health, equipment, safety, and the behavior you most want to change.
- 2
Build a shared language
Learn markers, rewards, leash communication, engagement, release cues, and the timing that helps the dog understand.
- 3
Teach useful positions
Develop sit, down, place, recall, and walking skills that solve real problems instead of becoming isolated tricks.
- 4
Add duration and distance
Strengthen patience and reliability gradually without asking for more than the dog understands.
- 5
Practice around distractions
Work through the environments, people, dogs, movement, sounds, and routines that matter to your family.
- 6
Troubleshoot real life
Review what improved, what stalled, and how the plan should change for the individual dog and owner.
- 7
