Heel is not just a positioning cue, it's a mindset!

So, I've launched a campaign aimed to encourage owners to spend at least five minutes a day training their dog called 5 To Thrive. This campaign is meant to educate owners on what their training sessions should look like while providing plenty useful dog training tips. Obedience training is an excellent way to help your dog thrive while also strengthening your relationship, so please, find 5 minutes a day to train your dog! If you'd like to participate in the campaign, post a video of (or part of) a training session with your dog and add the hashtag #5tothrive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/1667504892360-P6W4WO77V9HS0LM7V6IQ/image-asset.jpeg Training Videos - #5ToThrive | How to Teach Your Dog to Clean up Their Toys/Pack Their Bags!

They pulled, were horribly distracted, lunged at any nearby dogs, and made walking a miserable experience. After walking them I'd be in a rage, embarrassed, and in tears. Lance changed all that! The improvement in their behavior was life-changing even after our first session. I had lost all hope of ever having an enjoyable walk with these two. I can happily report that I am proud of their behavior as they heel, stay by my side, walk WITH me, come when instructed, and refrain from lunging at nearby dogs. Lance has greatly improved their lives and mine too! Thanks Lance!" - Rona https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/1485292331104-8IU0HFT1U4OV5A89KOMN/IMG_20161009_105453.jpg Home "Lance was a very engaging trainer who got my small dog to calm down enough to listen and the patience to work with me, the owner, on how to reinforce what he taught her.

He explains things in such a way that makes sense, so when we go to practice everything in between our sessions, we can do it the same way. He's teaching methods that will be sure to make Kafer a good dog, even off-leash. Lance's experience with dogs shows in the way he handles the dog and knows how to change his instruction based upon the way Kafer responds. He's not just speaking from textbook training. It's clear he has real-life experience. We would be lost trying to train Kafer without Lance's direction. We needed to be trained ourselfs on how to train a dog and Lance is very patient with us and our kids as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/1485315478562-A9CTZRR0B8GVMB7QLUZA/20161208_133425.jpg Home "We were seeking out help for our puppy's separation anxiety and was recommended to try Lance.

This became a problem after we moved to an apartment downtown. Though we were walking her at least three times each day and taking her to the dog park, she started expressing her boredom through aggression. We immediately contacted Lance for help. After doing a consultation with Bulma, Lance tailored our training sessions to meet her individual needs. He taught us ways to keep our dogs both physically and mentally engaged so now they are happy both on and off the leash. Peanut is a 5 pound yorkie with a big personality. Like many other small dogs, she makes herself known by barking constantly. We spent quite a few years trying to break her habit, but it wasn't until working with Lance that we finally saw some success. After Lance taught us how to effectively communicate with our dogs through his balance training, Peanut quickly learned some new commands." - Kira https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/97117f75-0344-41e1-9054-ebd145423787/Untitled+design+%283%29.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/21697f37-b4e9-4c17-b047-3c00eaac2d72/DSC00994.JPG Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/08a4a2c2-cea8-4aa4-ab4b-31565d44fddd/Untitled+design+%282%29.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/588586ba4402434051b3a616/840980e8-ca5a-43d2-8662-dcb74c25857a/DSC02126.JPG Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.freelancedogtraining.com/events daily 0.75 2017-01-23 https://www.freelancedogtraining.com/location daily 0.75 2016-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57338c9c04426238cff162e3/1463160571058-W98R0HZ587RCHTFP3CQY/broiled-salmon-with-spring-onion-risotto17.jpg Location
