What these sessions show
What toy should I use to train my dog?
She normally plays with a rope toy, which I do have, but I want to see if she'll play with this one.
Does my dog actually know the command?
Have you tried it with leash pressure where you pull her towards it and place her with the leash pressure?
Why does my dog only listen when I'm pulling the leash?
So just a little bit of negative reinforcement there, just a little bump.
What is the difference between come and let's go?
Let's go and then we'll see how she does if I give her freedom.
When is it safe to let my dog off the leash?
How do you get a dog to listen without a leash?
What happens in a first dog training session?
What do I do right after correcting my dog?
Where should I train my dog?
Why won't my dog listen when he is scared?
How can I tell what my dog is feeling?
So, I just kind of check her body language.
How many rules should my dog have?
Why does my dog react to how I stand?
Should I stop my dog before he misbehaves?
What level should an e-collar be set to?
My dog doesn't react to correction at all

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.
