The problem

This isn’t just a fancy move - it’s how your dog learns to be with you. Side builds focus, positioning, and connection for every walk that follows.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to teach Side using simple steps (no leash-yanking or fancy footwork required)

✅ What this position actually means to your dog - and how to make it feel rewarding

✅ How to fade out lures and build real reliability

✅ Common setup mistakes (like blocking the turn) - and how to avoid them

✅ How to use Side to prevent pulling, crowding, and chaotic starts to walks

✅ Real-life integration: how to use Side at crosswalks, when passing distractions, or before heading out the door

Outcomes:

• A dog who lines up with you calmly and pays attention

• More focus and less zigzagging

• A solid starting point for loose leash walking, “Let’s go,” and heel work

• Better connection, clearer communication, and a smoother start to every walk

This lesson gives you a real plan to stop pulling and start walking together - without yanking, nagging, or relying on gimmicks.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why dogs pull (and why “just stop walking” doesn’t cut it)

✅ How to teach loose leash walking step-by-step – with clarity, not chaos

✅ The secret to building focus before you even take a step

✅ How to handle leash pressure, direction changes, and distractions without frustration

✅ What to do when things fall apart mid-walk (spoiler: it’s fixable)

✅ How to use tools like Side and Look to reinforce good habits as you go

Outcomes:

• A dog who checks in and walks with you instead of against you

• Fewer leash battles, more actual exploring

• Real-world skills that hold up past squirrels, smells, and people

• Walks that feel like bonding time - not cardio + chaos

Whether your pup freezes, plants their paws, or zigzags wildly, this cue helps you both keep moving - calmly and in sync.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to teach “Let’s Go” from scratch using clear, consistent steps

✅ When and how to use the cue to prevent leash tension before it builds

✅ How to add movement to build momentum without rushing your dog

✅ What to do when your dog stalls, resists, or suddenly wants to move in reverse

✅ How to combine “Let’s Go” with other cues like Side and Look to keep walks flowing

✅ Real-life integration: using this cue at the start of walks, during sniff breaks, or when passing distractions

Outcomes:

• A dog who moves with you when asked - even when they’d rather stare at a squirrel

• Fewer stop-start battles and awkward leash yanks

• More flow and rhythm on your walks (finally)

• A calm, confident walker who follows your lead

“Sit” isn’t magic. And yelling “no” isn’t a training strategy.

This mini-course gives you the behind-the-scenes intel on how dogs actually learn - so you can train smarter, not louder.

Short, clear, and packed with aha moments, it sets you up to stop guessing and start getting results.

You’ll learn:

• ✅ How dogs think, learn, and connect the dots

• ✅ Why some behaviors stick (and others vanish like snacks)

• ✅ The difference between classical and operant learning (made easy, promise)

• ✅ How to use rewards properly, so you get more of what you want

• ✅ What gear actually helps, and what’s just marketing fluff

• ✅ How to pick the right leash, collar, and harness for your dog

Outcomes:

• A crystal-clear understanding of what actually works in training

• Smarter reward timing = faster learning and fewer frustrations

• A setup that fits your dog and your life

• More confidence, more control - and fewer wasted treats

If your dog “knows it”… but only when nothing else is happening - this one’s for you.

This course turns sometimes-obedience into solid-as-a-rock reliability.

You’ll learn how to take those early wins (“wow they sat!”) and turn them into real-world behaviors that stick - in the park, at the door, or when a squirrel sprints by.

You’ll learn:

• ✅ How to build consistency so your dog listens, even when life gets loud

• ✅ How to increase duration (goodbye, 2-second down-stay)

• ✅ The smart way to add distractions without making them crumble

• ✅ How to train from a distance, so you’re not glued to your dog

• ✅ Why reliability isn’t magic - it’s structure, timing, and a plan

Outcomes:

• A dog who actually follows through, not just when it’s convenient

• More confidence in public, on walks, or around guests

• Fewer “I said stay!” moments

• Progress that lasts, not just until something more exciting shows up
