The Handler You Become (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of you may have inherited a fully trained partner. Some of you built one from scratch, a puppy who grew into this role because you saw something in them and put in the years yourself. Either way, here’s the truth you need to face. The training was never the finish line. Saying the dog WAS trained, past tense, is short-sighted. Dogs are always learning. I tell people to think of training like creating a language between two different species. It’s beautiful and always evolving. It was the be

THE PERFECT RECIPEWhat do you get if you mix a base of bloodhound, a cup of cattle dog, 500 grams of German Shepherd, a splash of dachshund, and a pinch of pinscher?The perfect dog?

Tunnel VisionThis is one of the most common frustrations I hear from clients, and it shows up across every kind of dog I work with. A dog who is fluent in knowing their name in the kitchen turns into a stone statue on the sidewalk. Cues that are rock solid at home seem to evaporate the moment something more interesting shows up when they are out in the real world. It starts to feel personal. Like the dog is choosing everything else in the world over you, and that feeling puts real strain on the
