A lot of training problems start where you’d least expect… This complete crate training plan could be the key.

I had no idea you could actually teach a dog a new name until I tried it myself. When I got my rescue, he barely responded to his old name, so I wasn’t sure what to do. Then I read Puppy Book by Luke Carter, and his method made it so simple. In just a few days, my dog started perking up every time I called his new name—felt like a miracle! Highly recommend if you're struggling with this.

hello friends, a 10-week old French Spaniel has just joined us and we BINGE these videos. She already places value on her name, and comes when called even with some distraction. In the first week that we have had her, she has only had a few accidents in the house (and NOTHING destroyed) because of 100% supervision and her house line. We are ALL still learning, but she is learning quickly and it is largely thanks to these incredible videos that you post. I can tell you for a certainty that you are improving our lives and the life of our puppy. THANK YOU

Thank you for all of the wonderful training tips, ideas, methods. I'm putting them into practice. Only wish I had watched more vids before I got my pup 5 days ago! Too much freedom has been painful! I just started the houseline today & it has been a tremendous help!

How many commands should I teach my pup in a day ? She is 12 weeks, responds to her name and “sit” indoors ( she’s not completely vaccinated so she can’t go out yet)
