This is what she can do now after several week of balanced training with us.
If you have a reactive dog that you have been seriously struggling with, l hope Miso’s transformation can give you some hope.
Under the right type of training, dogs can actually change — and it does not have to take many years.
He has bitten the neighbors and his owners many times. He was very reactive to dogs and hated children.
He would certainly bite other puppies or dogs displaying puppy energy (eg my chihuahua Beau).
He was very easily startled and would pee uncontrollably in the house and in his crate — even though he was house trained.
Once he attacked, he would not back down. He would turn from a seemingly soft timid dog to a very scary dog in one second.
Inviting guests over has always been very stressful. Taking him out always felt like a gamble. Although they had tried few trainers, nothing really changed.
One of his biggest issues was that he was really timid but entitled at the same time.
His go-to was to bite and attack whenever he didn’t like something, and he was very determined to get his message across no matter what.
We have spent lots of time to teach him how to properly cope with stress and pressure so he can become more confident, emotionally stable, and mindful of his choices.
We have taught him how to follow his humans’ lead respectfully whenever he is unsure. We have showed him the best way to deal with anything he doesn’t like is to defer to his human for direction and protection.
Instead of taking matters in his own hands, we have told him in no uncertain terms that feeling entitled to bite other humans or dogs is the worst decision he could make.
He is now a much more confident dog who can be taken to all sorts of new places without any problem. Not only that, he is much happier, and when unsure, would often look to his human for direction (eg offer eye contact voluntarily) and no longer suddenly explode aggressively like he used to.
If you have a dog who would suddenly turn into a very scary dog in a very sudden and unpredictable fashion, l hope Walter’s transformation can offer you some hope. Dogs can change as long as we are willing to. Please don’t give up. Thank you.
For example, when his mom tried to hold the door for an old lady, he suddenly bit the lady on the arm causing her to fall on the ground.
Not only that, he loved to chase anything that moved. He has dragged his human into a lake. His mom fell flat on the ground as he suddenly took off while being tied to the coffee table on a patio.
He is also really afraid of loud noises. He would pull his human with all 110 lbs of his body to “escape” from loud crowded places.
He was a very massive puller. He was what many would refer to as a ”stubborn” dog who knew how to get what he wanted with his muscle, teeth, voice, and power.
Well, fast forward a couple months, this is what Cash is like now.
Please see for yourself his transformation.
If you have a dog similar to Cash, please do not give up. Proper balanced training can really deliver transformative results for both you and your dog.
Like Cash and his owner, you can also reclaim your life and live a happy life with your transformed dog, too.
After finishing their training, will the dog listen to the owner — or does it only work with me, the dog trainer?
That’s a very valid question. It is also the reason why we train the way we do.
Our job is to support the owner to enjoy the highest quality of life with their dogs. It is not about what the dog can do with me, but how consistent and reliable they will be around their owner.
Empowering the owner and the dog to form a beautiful partnership is the objective of every dog that we have had the privilege to train.
Please take a look at Marley and his mom.
This two-in-one partnership is what we aim to deliver to all our clients.
Marley’s mom has never pushed a shopping cart with Marley before (because Marley used to pull and zigzag a lot). This clip showed what Marley chose to do with his mom pulled a cart next to him for the first time.
You can see that he looked like he had been doing this all his life. It didn’t matter to him what she was pushing, it didn’t matter what other shoppers were today — his job was to stay on the “magic carpet” next to his mom, that’s it.
In the second clip, you can see that despite all the commotions around him, Marley chose to ignore everything and focused on his mom — who had to grab something from a distance.
His mom didn’t have to keep telling him “leave it” or “stay” — he held his down and just waited attentively for his mom to come back. He was staying right by the meat counter of all places, yet, nothing else but his mom’s instructions mattered to him.
So, to answer the question, yes, when trainjng is done right, Marley should know how to prioritize his human over other distractions. It shouldn’t matter if the trainer is there. It shouldn’t matter if the place is very busy. It shouldn’t matter if there is something very new or unfamiliar around the dog (eg shopping cart). It shouldn’t matter when he is right next to a lot of yummy meat!
Thank you.
He had a habit of suddenly drag his human very forcefully to the ground, to another human, or another dog. He is a very strong and powerful dog. This was a big problem for his mom especially in crowded places (with lots of strangers and dogs). It’s like he had kind of his own — once there was other distractions, he could not stay focused on his handler no matter what she tried.
His unpredictable massive dragging on leash has been a major obstacle in passing his BC service dog certification.
During his training, we have taught him to basically pay close attention to his human - even without hearing any verbal command.
We have shown him the concept of the “magic carpet” — a small imaginary carpet that is floating next to the human’s left leg as they walk together — and conditioned him to always strive to stay on it.
With our training standard, there shouldn’t need to be lots of commands, treats, or other complex cues in order for him to stop pulling towards anything — it should be part of a lifestyle.
Unless he hears other instructions, staying on the “magic carpet” should be an automatic choice.
You can see how Marley applied this concept when we walked past other dogs, children, and strangers now.
We can pretty much take him anywhere without worrying about any chaos now.
With his massive and unpredictable pulling issue out of way, we are very confident that Marley will do well in his service dog test.
Thank you.
Despite all sorts of trainings that his parents have paid lots of money for, Dollar was so aggressive that he could only be taken out past midnight.
He was never attacked by any dog as a puppy, but once he saw another dog, doesn’t matter if that dog was not even looking at him, he would lunge, growl, bark, snarl, pull, and thump around at the end of the leash like he has just seen his worst nemesis. His owner told me he could never be let off leash as he would most certainly attack other dogs very aggressively.
They have tried balanced training and positive force free training. He came wearing an ecollar and prong collar but was pulling like a train and would respond very negatively to the ecollar.
He arrived really skinny and looked really on edge and confused. Ecollar and prong collar could not stop his aggression. Food did nothing as he wouldn’t even look at it. Their only recourse was avoidance.
His owners could not take him out except when there is no other dog around (ie past midnight). It was always a very nervous and stressful experience.
Dollar could not really enjoy the world a lot of dogs could, so he was also very frustrated and under- socialized.
But after getting to know him, despite everything that happened, underneath all the scary shows, Dollar is actually confident, motivated, and really intelligent. We saw a Dollar who is capable to make better decisions. He loves to learn, he wants to do the right things, and he has become really close to my family and l. He is actually a very sweet boy.
After training with us, Dollar can now go out anytime during the day (not only past midnight). He can visit all the fun places that he couldn’t go before and not explode to dogs the way he used to.
We are all very excited about all the wonderful memories he is going to make with his amazing family once he is back home.
Atta boy Dollar!
Wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life!♥️
He would pull and jump on everyone and lunge with all his might to every single dog.
He would snarl and snap if someone tried to cut his nails.
Once he was off leash, he was super distracted and out of control. He loved to chase anything that moved.
He had no idea how to play with other dogs politely. He was extremely pushy and hyper and has been corrected by other dogs numerous time which did not seem to bother him at all.
Once he was stimulated - which was pretty much all the time - he would not care about anything. It reached a point where it was really challenging for his family to take him anywhere.
Fast forward 5 weeks, l would like to show you his improvements after some training.
You can see that he can now walk on a loose leash (even hands free). Not only that, he can walk by dogs of all different sizes without any lunging, pulling, etc.
I did not need to use any treats or toys to redirect him. He would voluntarily offer me eye contact often. He will sit down on his own once l stop walking. We could even walk him by squirrels without any problems.
Unlike before, he now knows how to prioritize his human handlers over other distractions.
Instead of reacting with extreme arousal toward any and all dogs, he can now regulate a wide social spectrum of emotions and make better choices on his own.
He can walk calmly next to other dogs, play politely around them, and relax next to them in a very content manner.
Trimming his nails is also not a problem anymore.
With better engagement, stronger impulse control, and much more matured social awareness, Gus can now enjoy going to all sorts of fun places with his parents without constant chaos.
Our puppy training is not focused on teaching tricks using treats; our goal is to help families to have a reliable, well behaved dog for years to come in the real world — just like what Gus is able to do here.
We are really proud of Gus, and very excited about this next chapter of his life!
Thank you.
I like to show you what we did and the transformation that we made using our balanced dog training approach.
When it comes to dog reactivity, force free trainers will recommend to stay under threshold (ie, stay very far away from any dog) and keep using treats to redirect (ie to plead the reactive dog to look at the owner instead of other dogs).
They will often do their reactive training in a sterile classroom with blinds because it is pretty impractical - and even impossible - to stay that far away from other dogs in the real world.
Many would suggest to avoid squirrels altogether. They will tell you “you can never stop prey drive”.
We do not train like that.
We are interested in one thing and one thing only - to empower owners and their dogs to succeed in the real world.
We don’t only train Enzo around dogs that he knows. We train him around all kinds of random dogs.
We don’t ask him to constantly look at us. We want him to know how to look around without reacting.
We don’t stay far away and hide; instead, we often walk right towards the squirrels or the dogs.
We don’t use food to plead for his attention around squirrels. He can look at the squirrels. You can see that at one point l could literally touch the squirrel but he still didn’t react - he just stayed by my side and kept walking happily next to me.
This is the power of real world balanced dog training. This is how we train all the dogs in our program.
Thank you.
It was two days before Christmas and the entire place was packed with people, toddlers, and dogs - all of which used to trigger a very intense and aggressive reaction from Rogue.
You can see that when we were in a very busy store, another dog suddenly lunged at Rogue in a very narrow doorway. Before his training, this would have turned into a bloodbath for sure. But this time, as the human owner was frantically trying to stop their dog, Rogue just calmly kept on walking through the door like nothing has happened.
Someone was so impressed that he asked me, “Your dog could have killed that other dog but he didn’t. He’s so well trained! Is he a police dog?”
We also walked by lots of strangers in very close proximity inside a busy store. Instead of lunging at them aggressively the way he used to, you can see how Rogue was sniffing them with healthy curiosity.
Walking by another dog on the same sidewalk is no longer a struggle. Not only that, we were able to wait in line for ice cream - which was definitely impossible before - and even sit outside of a coffee shop to enjoy ourselves without any problem.
Utilizing a balanced training approach employing ecollar, prong collar, food reward, clicker/marker, toy, along with lots of socialization and a consistent daily structure, l am very happy to report that Rogue is now a very mindful and happy boy who is really good at listening around distractions and making proper decisions in the real world.
Thank you.

He used to be really anxious and intense, very easily distracted and spooked, and would guard his humans and their shared space very aggressively.
He was attacked by other dogs more than once and became very aggressive towards other dogs.
He didn't know how to handle any pressure except through the use of aggression. It was really challenging taking him anywhere and really stressful inviting people into their home.
I like to share with you what he has learned and how much he has improved after several weeks of training with us.
He can now walk by other dogs - including those reacting to him aggressively - without having a meltdown.
He is able to handle strangers approaching - and even staring and talking to him - without displaying aggression.
We can now take him into crowded stores and enjoy sitting outside of coffee shops even with strangers going in/out of the store right next to him without any problem.
He used to be very under socialized living in a very small world due to his intense anxiety and aggression. We are very happy to see him becoming a lot more confident, relaxed, mindful, and happy after developing a much more positive outlook of this world.
It is a lot of joy and fun going to all these new places with him. He is always very well behaved and receives lots of attention and compliments.
I hope you will all enjoy watching his transformation and feel very proud of him just as we all have.
If you are struggling with your dog, please don't just give up. With proper training, there is always hope!
Thank you.
