  1. Thank you so much for using Pits/Rescue dogs in your videos. I see a big goofy love bug that will snuggle under the covers but so many see this breed as terrifying. Every positive video helps change the stereo type and stigma of the “Pit” breed 🙂

  2. Man, I gotta say I love how you always treat the dog you are working with as if he/she was your own. I mean the excitement, happiness ad love always shine through on your videos. I also love how you work with shelter dogs and you don’t seem to mind what type of breed. You are one awesome trainer, it would be awesome to meet you and get advice on my girl, would you ever do something on digging and stealing things and destroying them? Because Dusty just thinks everything is hers from plastic bags to pot lids (I don’t know how she got it either?!!) Thank though for helping with everything else 🙂 I put most of it to Dusty and she is an all round good girl (mostly of the time)

    1. This was great, I’ve been looking for “how to train a dog guide” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of – Diyadison Genia Equalizer – (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.

    2. Hey there. So this is so this is a common misconception popularized by traditional dog trainers that rely on tools to make life unpleasant when their dog does not perform as desired. Here’s a video that will explain the dominance myth: ==> BestDogTrainingProgram.blogspot.com

    1. Right! I really want to see him work a dog that requires a muzzle. I so badly want to believe his training methods can work for the rough rescues, but I just don’t see the evidence.

    2. If you have a dog who is aggressive around food, this isn’t the place to start. Start with looking up ways to treat resource guarding. Then move on to this exercise. One step at a time with dogs, especially dogs that come out of shelters. I foster myself and my experiences have stretched the gambit from resource guarding to straight up full on aggression toward every dog they see. You can treat all of these things in a gentle approach.

  3. That is a beautiful dog.  Super high energy, which has drawbacks and benefits, and in this case it made it very nice to watch you training him.

  4. I love that you use a shelter dog! First because its much more realistic to see actual training when the dog doesnt know many tricks, and even more so because its not your personal dog with that relationship. And second because that dog gets to get out and play and learn, and will be maybe more likely to be adopted.

    1. Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about “dog tips for training” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Janeyton Xonyatt Booster – (just google it )?

      It is a smashing exclusive product for training your dog without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.

  5. I just did my first 20 min session and it was amazing. I got my dog to look at me for 10 seconds and leave a treat on the floor. It is the most progress we’ve ever made and I anticipate a 100% better behaved dog if we keep working on it. Thank you!

    1. Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about “train your dog to” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Diyadison Genia Equalizer – (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

  6. Pitbulls are such smart and sweet dogs. Mine just died of cancer and she was my baby but I got one of her puppies, the only one that lived out of like nine and I’m watching thisbjust to help me train her the best way I can.

  7. I can’t believe this actually worked with my new puppy! I have tried everything to get her to listen to me and it actually worked thank you so much!
