    Episode #270 Doorway & Boundary Skills
    Apr 9 2026

    Doorway chaos, leash pulling the second you open the door, and dogs that treat every threshold like a starting line—sound familiar? In this episode, we break down Doorway & Boundary Skills as a complete system, not just a quick fix. You’ll learn why dogs struggle with thresholds, how to stop door dashing, and how to teach your dog to pause and wait—without relying on physical barriers. We also share a real-life example with Amy's dog Baxter, who calmly waits at street corners until released. If you want a safer, calmer, and more thoughtful dog in everyday situations, this episode gives you the step-by-step approach to get there.

    Episode #269 Leave It & Drop It: Teaching the Skills That Could Save Your Dog’s Life
    Apr 2 2026

    “Leave it” and “drop it” aren’t just nice tricks—they’re essential safety skills every dog needs. In this episode, we break down how to teach both cues clearly, effectively, and without conflict. You’ll learn how to build reliability, prevent resource guarding, and understand when to use “drop it” versus trading for something better. Whether your dog grabs socks, snacks, or something dangerous on a walk, this episode will give you the tools to handle it with confidence.

  • Episode #268 Proofing Behaviors – Why Your Puppy “Forgets” and How to Fix It

    Episode #268 Proofing Behaviors – Why Your Puppy “Forgets” and How to Fix It
    Mar 26 2026

    Does your puppy seem to “forget” their cues the moment you leave the house? You’re not alone—and your puppy isn’t being stubborn. In this episode, we’re diving into proofing behaviors (also known as generalization) so you can help your puppy succeed in the real world, not just your living room. You’ll learn why cues fall apart in new environments, how to introduce distractions without frustration, and how to build reliability using distance, duration, and difficulty in a way that feels calm and doable.
