Breed and intake details are owner-reported. Age refers to the intake date.

What these sessions show
What toy should I use to train my dog?
See if we got a little tug toy here.
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
Like, and he handles negative reinforcement like a champ.
How do I teach my dog to make better choices?
So, the dog doesn't have a choice point to screw up or do the right thing.
Does my dog actually know the command?
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
I'm going to have to use it to obligate it and layer it over so that we can obligate off leash, but we don't need to do that yet.
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
Should I let my dog sniff before training?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
What happens in a first dog training session?
How many rules should my dog have?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
How do I calm a stressed dog?
So it's really rewarding for him to listen to me because then he gets a big release to freedom.
How do you safely work with an aggressive dog?
How do I train my dog without treats?
What level should an e-collar be set to?
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
My dog shuts down during training
How do I know if my dog is dangerous?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
So like if there's a difference between uh there's two commands that I use for that kind of stuff.
Why does my dog behave differently at different times?
My dog doesn't react to correction at all
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
Should I pull my dog into position?

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.
