It’s No Wonder (Your Dog Still Doesn’t Respect You)..
Even after training some folks continue to struggle with their dog’s behavioral issues. And sometimes that is because some dogs are more challenging. We are, after all, dealing with the nervous system. All dogs are wired uniquely. But the vast majority of the time we can see right away why some of these deep set patterns and relationships have not changed.
It pays to remember that all of your dog’s behaviors are tied together in some way. They are never truly “separate”.

- 13:00 – Teach dogs not to reach high arousal unless explicitly invited by the handler.
- 15:00 – You can’t expect peak performance without rehearsing standards outside only high-stakes moments.
- 17:00 – Small, seemingly unimportant moments matter for maintaining training standards and consistency.
- 19:00 – Different behaviors (space, food, toys, greetings) share common underpinnings and aren’t truly separate.
- 21:00 – A client’s guarding dog still guards because owners stop enforcing a simple down command.
- 23:00 – Handlers must provide motivation, accountability, and consequences so dogs respect rules.
- 25:00 – Using an e-collar to instantly button dogs back is ‘kindergarten’ — not true training.
- 34:00 – Rehearse impulse control and arousal management across many everyday moments for lasting results.
