Going through the course and so far this has been worth every penny. My 4 month old cane corso girl is learning so fast and I'm glad because man she is growing fast. It would be a nightmare to have a big dog with zero training inside our home 😮... training and walking is enjoyable and fun for both of us. Excited to see the final product once we are done with your program. Thank you!!

I agree 1, 000, 000, 000%. I took a dog I rescued to a group training class many years ago. While I learned a lot, and it did help some, I did better working with her on my own. I love your videos, I always learn so much. I have owned many dogs over my lifetime and am still learning from your content. Thank you for sharing you wonderful content.

I love the crate; it keeps my dog safe and my mind at ease. Thanks for the video.

Hi I am Tristin and I am 11 and my dogs had puppies and I am watching u to train my one of my dogs that aren’t trained and my puppies

[douglasbrown]

That is exactally what I felt in group training. Glad to know I did right leaving class. Thank you, your courses are GREAT.

I'm pleased to report my pitt has crossed all of these of his list. He LOVES his crate. We call it "going to bed". He runs there, lays down and is so happy! I socialize my dog by going to home depot. Lol

And another great video! Thank you! I wished you were closer by! I could learn so much from you. The videos will have to suffice.

My mistakes with my GSD: group training and dog parks. Before I got the dog, everywhere: "you have to socialize him!" So I wanted to "socialize" him and exposed him to a great number of dogs from very early on. Huge mistake! I think my biggest.

Fellow trainer here and we are on the same wave length. I watch and listen to a small group. Not because I want to validate what I do but because common sense training. You or those other trainers do some differences that I can add to my trainers toolbox. Keep it up!

Brother your most recent "stop leash pull" video, the 10 min walk one. I watched it. Paid attention. Just took my pup an hour ago, along with one of my daughters who is having control issues with the pup (4 months) we still have some work to do. I didn't want to over exert him or my daughter. Overwhelm them. First half. I did the walk and very quietly handed the leash to my daughter once the pup was walking right besides me without turning. She took over like a champ and he listened as well as he did with me. She had to do about 5 or 6 turns by the end of the walk but by time we got to our door. He walked besides her, listened to her because she had the leash. And she didn't have to say a word to him, he stopped and sat. Waited until she went in. Im very happy thank you. It built her confidence up in one walk and. His leash pull.

Very good advice, he knows what he is taking about.

My biggest regret was taking my dog to the dog park, I wish I had seen this with my first puppy, but now I have a new one and am being educated by your videos. Thank you so much

I love that I crate trained my dog it helps sooo much

[stevemccormick]

I'm on my second malinois, I was totally unprepared for the first one, professional one-on-one training from a working dog specialist was the key. We follow the same training disciplines that you support and have a happy well mannered pup.

We did do 2 "fit and fun" group classes with our regular trainer to get Cosette used to being around other dogs and learning to ignore them. It was worth the time and money.

Thanks for the info. I'm on my third corso (13 years owning this breed) and good crate training is a necessity in my opinion. With their size they can ingest something that will really hurt them. Mine all loved the crate and I used the crate their whole lives and currently now with my three year old female corso. New owners, don't feel bad as they will learn to love the crate and just hang out in there on their own.

[lesliebarrett]

I love the way you talk and think fast my type people

[outrunning]

I'm following all of these with our GSD 1 year old. 100% agree with all of these.

[nelsonmonteiro]

Garret, you are good man. I have now a 6 months old Rottweiler and she is amazing. Obviously, I still need to do a lot of training and I just wish I could afford the full package you offer. Still, amazing videos and I have been following you from a few months before I buy her to be "ready". Thanks for all the wisdom shared

[RoxanneWolf-ft]

Good video it's a wonderful advice for first time owners how want a perfect dog and ownres how have problems controling their dog just amazing love your content keep it up ❤

The dog I raised was so good about doorways and such. But I've found that training an already 3yrs grown, bad habits established shelter dog I adopted isnt as easy to do. Switched collars for one not a huge difference yet. But not giving up. Trying different things I've been learning from you. Working on trying to get your courses,

[vpenguin]

I'm a new dog owner (owned for less than a year after never having them growing up), and I've been worried I haven't been doing to a good job, but hearing you point out the importance of doorway/threshold respect and respect while on a walk, I realize that my dog definitely is respecting me and learning my rules. So even if we're still having some potty training issues, I'm feeling a little better about the baseline level of training and respect I've established with her. It makes me feel more confident since I'm trying to improve potty habits and crate training, since I have taught her important things already.
