From Puppy Obedience to Off-Leash Freedom

In this video, pro trainer Tom Dokken discusses building a strong foundation for dog training, from puppy obedience to specific commands like "come," "sit," and "woah." He explains how treat training, leash control, and remote collars lead to off-leash freedom, allowing dogs to run freely while staying under control.

Getting Started with an E-Collar

In this video, pro dog trainer Charlie Jurney explains how to properly introduce and use an e-collar as a tool to reinforce commands already taught with a leash. He walks you through pairing the e-collar with the leash, ensuring proper fit, and helping your dog understand the collar's purpose.
