Hey Reader, Buying a prong collar is only the beginning. But what do you actually do once the leash is attached? The Puppy Leash Manners Blueprint is officially live.

Use the same word every time.Enforce the same rule every time.Make sure everyone in your house does the same. Dogs are pattern masters. If the pattern is...
The past few years have been hard. I lost my home base. I had to rehome one of my Dobermans. I’ve been rebuilding from the ground up. But through all of it, something’s kept me going: A mission bigger than me—and bigger than dog training alone. 🐾 Willow’s Wish Doberman Rescue (WWDR) is the nonprofit I started to help Dobermans who don’t have anywhere else to go—especially dogs with behavior or medical issues that shelters won’t take, or will euthanize. 🖤 DoberMerch Designs (DMD) is my...
