Real dogs. Real setbacks. Real progress.
Follow the whole story
I have made hundreds of individual how-to videos. But these series are different. Each one follows a real dog through a chapter of life, including the first days, the hard parts, and when things didn’t go according to plan.
Get to know each of these awesome dogs, and watch what training actually looked like from one episode to the next!

Puppy journeys
Start at the beginning
These series begin in the first days or weeks with a puppy. They do not hide the accidents, lost sleep, biting, distraction, or uncertainty that make early training feel so intense.
The Dog Training Experience
Inertia
Inertia is my own Border Collie, so this is the longest and most personal story here. Follow her from eight weeks old through all the basics, public training, reactivity, and advanced skills.
Good place to start for: the full puppy-to-adult journey, socialization, leash skills, recall, barking, being alone, and realistic setbacks.

New Puppy Survival Guide
Kona
This a perfect focused puppy-start series. You will see the basics, the mistakes, and everything that worked along the way.
Good place to start for: the first 24 hours, biting, house training, chewing, recall, barking, calm behavior, grooming, and distractions.

BISCUITS
Reality Dog Training
Biscuits
Biscuits is the puppy to start with if biting, chewing, potty accidents, or keeping interactions with children and other animals safe is taking over your day.
Good place to start for: first skills, recall, house training, biting, chewing, snapping, leash walking, and family safety.

Training Our New Puppy From Day 1
Veronica
Veronica became part of our family, so this story continues through ordinary life, travel, outdoor challenges, and changing environments long after the first day.
Good place to start for: adoption, sleep, barking, biting, confidence, recall, off-leash foundations, travel, and being alone.

Ultimate Puppy Survival Guide
Shade
Shade is a Cane Corso puppy, and this is the most compact recent puppy-survival series. It starts before day one and moves into real-world foundation skills.
Good place to start for: preparing the home, the first night, crate training, dog introductions, house training, recall, walks, and busy places.

Real-world challenges
Big dogs, big feelings, changing plans
These stories show what I do when a dog is strong, reactive, overwhelmed, overexcited, or simply not responding to the plan I expected to use.
Reality Dog Training
Moira
Moira is a powerful German Shepherd with a lot to work through in two weeks. This series is especially useful if barking, lunging, jumping, mouthing, or a difficult walk is making daily life feel impossible.
Good place to start for: reactivity, public outings, biting, jumping, barking at dogs, chasing or attacking birds and wildlife, and seeing how much can and cannot change in a short period.

Reality Dog Training
George
George is strong, social, and definitely NOT interested in following a neat script. His story shows leash work, rough play, changing the plan, and sessions that do not work the first time.
Good place to start for: leash pulling, dog-to-dog play, attention, heel, off-leash foundations, and learning when to adjust.

Reality Dog Training
Chop
Chop is a big, strong, wild Alaskan dog, and he could be genuinely difficult to manage. Follow the work we did on leash pulling, settling indoors, barking at dogs, and resource guarding to see everything that Chop learned!
Good place to start for: severe pulling, dog introductions, reactivity, resource guarding, settling, and reward-based work with a powerful dog.

Dog Training Revolution
Wallace
Wallace is a young Malinois – a breed with serious energy and drive. We showed you how to give that intensity somewhere useful to go while building trust, attention, calmer walks, household skills, and better choices.
Good place to start for: high drive, building trust, attention, leave it, barking, destruction, recall, walks, reactivity, and training when food is not working.
