The finished client story
Calmer choices. A more confident family.
Dutchess’s family wanted more manageable everyday behavior and practical ways to guide her at home. Their Angier K9 story follows owner participation, useful responses, and the family’s growing confidence in her progress.
What these sessions show
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
So, we got to increase the length because I can't trust her to go off leash like that.
What happens in a first dog training session?
What toy should I use to train my dog?
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
Eh, I didn't even hit the e-collar that time.
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
So, see, I really have to do a combination of like release to freedom plus social pressure currently.
How do I calm a stressed dog?
So, see, I really have to do a combination of like release to freedom plus social pressure currently.
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
So, that would be negative reinforcement because I'm trying to encourage the sit.
Where should I train my dog?
What is the difference between come and let's go?
I'm just downs and heels cuz We're going through rottweilers and Sometimes they have a little bit of trouble with those two commands.
Does my dog actually know the command?
We teach is just a leash pressure means back off, right?
My dog shuts down during training
So, only a couple of dogs really won't shut down, but I've talked about this in a million videos before.
How does my dog know when he can stop?
If she gets up at all until I say the release word then she's broken a command which I'm sure you guys have seen the release word.
How do I stop my dog reacting to other dogs?
My dog doesn't react to correction at all
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
I don't think we're going to panic and freak out if something happens to you.
What level should an e-collar be set to?
Should my dog heel for the whole walk?
How many rules should my dog have?

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.
