Jack is a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy who, currently, is in our Colorado Springs obedience program.
The video chronicles his 2nd training appointment.
On his 1st appointment, he learned a focus exercise and 5 different exercises to perfect the “Come” command.
Thank you to David and Heather for their kind permission to allow the videotaping.

Tank is in our aggressive dog program.

He came to us with significant dog-dog aggression, with his owner very concerned that she may have to place him in a different home.

Over the past 6 weeks, he has made tremendous strides in tackling his aggressive tendencies; and, his owner, Alana, has learned to recognize situations that trigger his behavior.

The significant bond that she has developed with Tank has allowed him to learn to relax and trust her. He is learning that he doesn’t need to act tough to get through the day.

This dog is an example of how combination training really benefits a dog. We use multiple techniques to help Tank to learn to work through his natural fears and to choose not to fight.

Thank you to Alana for her kind permission to allow the videotaping.

We caution all viewers that only the most experienced trainers should attempt to use a remote collar on an aggressive dog. We specifically recommend against attempting this training on your own, as you can cause significant damage to your dog’s personality and trust in you. And, you can put yourself at extreme risk.

This video makes this dog’s training look easy.  You must understand that he has had previous sessions under the supervision of an experienced trainer and several hours of practice with his owner.  We do not recommend that you attempt to employ on your own any techniques that are demonstrated in this video. 

Tango is our family dog. He is used for demonstration of good canine obedience and proper socialization. This video appears as if we’ve sped up the movements, but this is real-time. Tango is just fast!

Two common myths are that only certain breeds of dogs (e.g., German shepherds, Labradors, Golden Retrievers) can achieve a high level of obedience training, and that training, such as what is exhibited here, is exorbitant in cost.

If you desire this level of control over your dog, you can achieve it, without an astronomical training budget. There are only 2 requirements: a good trainer, who can show you how to get the most out of time with your dog, and a lot of hours for practice. Tango’s level of obedience does not come from some fancy trainer tricks; it comes from a lot of practice hours on the training field. Once you learn the basics, if you spend hours in practice, you can have this level of control.
