The Dog’s Perspective uses unique, innovative dog training methods based on Dog Biology, not Human Psychology. Our methods are simple, easy and fun, because puppy dog training should be simple, easy and fun … for everyone!
Imagine this: Instead of juggling bags of treats and/or bribing with food, you see your dog’s eyes light up simply for your praise and affection. It means the world to them. This is the joy of training with love, play and engagement.

We Believe There Are NO BAD DOGS!
GOOD Behaviors
Positive Reinforcement, a core part of Positive Discipline, is the process of rewarding GOOD behaviors so they grow into GOOD habits. Imagine your dog sitting calmly as guests enter your home. They receive friendly petting and praise, but do not insist on being the center of attention. That’s how good behaviors become part of daily life.
But what about BAD behaviors? Positive reinforcement alone can’t make them disappear. But, positive reinforcement is definitely part of the solution.
BAD Behaviors
Turning your back on BAD behaviors doesn’t make them go away. Imagine a dog who jumps on Grandma. Ignoring it doesn’t protect her. On the contrary, ignoring BAD behaviors allows them to grow into BAD habits. True dog training should guide dogs away from these mistakes, not leave them unchecked.
* Ready to stop bad habits before they start? Or stop bad behaviors that are now bad habits. Let us show you how to replace frustration with better understanding your dog.
Learn from Mistakes
Dogs should not “PAY” for their mistakes. Punishment, force or fear-training are NOT part of The Dog’s Perspective. Never has and never will be. However ….. We believe dogs, like humans, learn best when mistakes become teachable moments.
Picture this scenario: Your dog grabs an expensive shoe and runs away and play bows. Instead of yelling or scaring them, turn it into a fun game ….. In your favor, of course! Run away from your dog and they typically follow.
But, what if you don’t have treats! How are you going to reward them?
We reward with hands, voice and focus. It works and hopefully you will always have your hands, voice and focus anywhere you go! It is the only free, natural and non-caloric solution to rewarding dogs.
Our methods are neither strict (Aversive Training) nor permissive (Positive or R+ Only Training). Our training methods are kind, yet firm. We teach you how to set healthy limits while keeping the relationship with your pup joyful. When you guide dogs, not bribe dogs, both you and your pup thrive.
Dog Training Based on Dog Play
Dogs love to play. With the mental capacity of 2-year-old toddlers, they experience the world with joy, energy and curiosity. Unlike toddlers, though, they use their teeth to explore and play with each other. Sometimes that play looks rough, but for dogs, what you are seeing is probably normal.
Imagine puppies tumbling together in the yard, mouths open and tails wagging nonstop. That’s the language of play on their level. Understanding dog play helps humans better connect with dogs.

Leash Training & Positive Reinforcement
For more than 15,000 years, humans and dogs have worked together as cooperative teams. We honor this history by teaching dogs and humans to communicate as partners, through biology, not psychology.
When used correctly, prong collars allow humans to communicate in a way that makes sense from the dog’s point of view. In our training books and videos, we show how prong collars can be safe and effective positive reinforcement training tools. They help dogs understand, trust and respond to the world with confidence.
* Imagine walking your dog calmly through a busy park on a loose leash. Your happy pup walking hand and paw with you, like a service dog. That’s the magic of leash training taught properly.
* The ultimate results of training: Your dog doesn’t just “obey commands”. They want to be with you and do things with you because you are a great source of fun. Simple tasks like going for groceries are exciting adventure for dogs.
* The bond between you and your dog is built on love, play and engagement that dogs understand.
* Take the first step today. Let us help you better understand your pup. Every good dog deserves a loving human who understands them.
