Does this sound familiar?

You dread the walk before you even grab the leash.

You cross the street when you see another dog. You walk at 6 AM so nobody's out. Your arm hurts from the pulling.

Friends stopped coming over because the barking never stops.

You've watched the videos. You've bought the harness. Maybe you've even paid a trainer. And you're right back where you started.

Here's the truth: none of that means you're a bad owner. It means nobody ever gave you the full system.

You don't need more random tips

Most owners are trying to fix their dog with bits and pieces. A tip from one video. A tool from another. A trainer who says "be consistent" and never tells you with what.

That's why it doesn't stick.

Crossing the street feels safe. It teaches your dog nothing.

Turning around every time another dog shows up keeps the walk quiet for a minute. But avoiding every trigger never shows your dog what to do instead. In the handbooks I show you the alternative: structure first, then a step by step progression that works toward the things your dog reacts to, at a distance you can handle, one step at a time.

The structure of my board & train, at home

Every dog that comes through my board & train gets the same thing: clear boundaries first, then a step by step progression, week by week. Leash manners. Obedience. Then the reactivity work, in the right order.

As I said in one of my lessons: "All we did in this session was set some boundaries."

These two handbooks are that system, written down and filmed, so you can do it in your own home. The same handbooks my trainers and I use with every dog.

What boundaries and a real system look like

Domino, Labradoodle, 6 week board & train

Domino was reactive his whole life. Barking and lunging at any dog that passed. My read: "He just needs to know the difference between right and wrong." So he got clear boundaries, well-timed corrections and praise for good choices. 24 hours into his board & train, I said it on camera: "This is a night and day difference in 24 hours of training."

That is the method behind Domino, and it's the same order of steps the handbooks walk you through.

Watch Domino (9:00)

Bruno, Golden Retriever, one private lesson

Bruno barked and lunged at dogs and pulled hard on the leash. "We are only about an hour and a half into this training session." I'm not saying he's fully neutral. "But we are 95% of the way there."

Watch Bruno (14:02)

A rescue puppy from Texas, one private lesson

He lost it at dogs in the hallway and the elevator of his condo. My read: "All this is is you guys having lack of boundaries. It's nothing more than that."

Watch the lesson

These are board & train and private lesson dogs. The handbooks teach you the same boundaries and the same steps I used with them.

★★★★★

These are owners who worked with me in person. The handbooks are how I teach the same system to everyone else.

"We had worked with three different trainers, watched countless YouTube videos, and spent years trying just about everything... Seeing Loki calmly walk past other dogs without reacting was something I honestly never thought I'd experience."

Loki, European Doberman, 1-on-1 lesson

"Before employing those tactics, our girl would bark and lunge at any dog she saw at any distance... Within 3 weeks, reactions reduced considerably, and we were able to get within a 25 foot bubble of dogs about 80% of the time."

Recently adopted dog, started with my free videos before her private lesson

"He's so well-mannered, walks right by my side, and can calmly pass other dogs without reacting."

Bogey, 6 week board & train

Is this for you?

This is for you if:

✅ Your dog barks and lunges at other dogs, people, bikes or cars

✅ Walks are a fight because of the pulling

✅ Your dog ignores you the second something interesting shows up

✅ You want to do this yourself, at home, on your schedule

✅ You'll follow the steps and put in the reps

This is not for you if:

❌ You want a magic trick that fixes everything overnight

❌ You won't use a leash correction or any training tool

  • Want to watch me do it, start to finish?

Questions owners ask me

I've never trained a dog before. Can I do this?

Yes. The Board & Train Handbook starts at day one: which tool to use, how to hold the leash, how to teach sit. Every step has video next to it, so you watch me do it and then you do it.

Nothing has worked for my dog. Why would this?

Most owners have been given tips, not a system. These handbooks are the full order I follow with every board & train dog: boundaries first, then obedience, then the reactivity work. If you've been doing random pieces, the order alone changes things.

How fast will I see a change?

It depends on your dog and how consistent you are. I recommend about 60 minutes a day, split into short sessions. Reactivity takes time and there are no overnight fixes, but the handbooks show you exactly what to work on each step of the way.

Do I need special equipment?

The B&T Handbook walks you through choosing a flat collar, slip lead or prong for your dog. The e-collar section shows how I introduce it at the lowest level. You don't need everything on day one.

Does it work for my breed or a rescue?

The system is the same one I use across every breed in my board & train, from Labradoodles to Dobermans to rescues. The Reactivity Handbook also covers the 4 types of reactivity, so you know which one you're working with.

Is this the same as your board & train?

No. In board & train your dog lives with me and my team. The handbooks give you the same structure and the same steps to do it yourself at home. My board & train programs start at $8,500. The handbooks are $197 for the first 100 people.

How do I get it?

Right after checkout. You get access immediately, so you can start tonight.

Should I add the Reactivity Lesson Vault?

If your dog's main problem is reactivity and you learn best by watching, yes. The handbooks give you the system. The Vault lets you watch me run it in seven full private lessons.

You have two choices

You can keep doing what you're doing. More tips. More harnesses. More walks at 6 AM.

Or you can follow the same system my trainers and I use with every dog, from crazy to calm, starting tonight.
