DOG TRAINING, ONE DOG AT A TIME
Series
Follow each dog’s story from the beginning.
These series show the first days, the everyday training, the breakthroughs and what we do when we need to change the plan.
Meet each of these awesome dogs below – every one is different!
You can watch a preview of their series, then open the full playlist on YouTube to follow the episodes in order.
Growing up together
These series start with puppy life: sleep, biting, house training, new places and learning how to share a home.
Inertia
Grow with my own Border Collie, from eight weeks old through adolescence, adult skills and reactivity. This is an EXTREMELY comprehensive series, with almost 100 episodes so you can see how Inertia’s training develops over time!
Kona
I had three weeks together with Kona the Goldendoodle puppy. Kona was an awesome example for all of you dealing with all of the typical everyday work that comes with raising a new puppy: biting, potty training, sleep, leash and basic training, and all the unexpected challenges, too!
Veronica
Veronica is our second personal dog, adopted by my wife, Bree. You can watch how she grows up on the road with Bree, Inertia and me, and how we help her learn familiar skills – even in unfamiliar places.
Shade
Follow Shade the Cane Corso puppy as he lives with us for two weeks of basic training! You’ll see what we do during his first nights, socialization and going into public with a new puppy, how we handle baths, introducing him to other dogs and lots more!
Biscuits
Biscuits may be small in size, but her personality is NOT! Watch this tiny Alaskan rescue puppy learn all of the basics, with plenty of biting, chewing and potty-training challenges along the way.
ADULT DOGS
Meet the dogs who joined me with their own histories, strong reactions, boundless energy and plenty still to learn.
Moira
I had two weeks together with Moira, the young German Shepherd. Moira had a history of attacking birds, and plenty of challenges like jumping, pulling and reacting to other dogs.
George
George is a super strong, exuberant shelter dog with TONS of potential, but a lot of work to get him ready for a home! He had a *serious* challenge with letting go, most of the typical high-energy shelter dog struggles like jumping, barking and pulling on leash… but watching this diamond in the rough shine is such an adventure and a privilege to be a part of!
Chop
Chop is a giant adult rescue dog who grew up in a remote village in Alaska. This guy is incredible, and teaching him definitely had its challenges! You’ll see how we help him through some big changes and a few hard setbacks, how we integrate him safely with our two dogs, and how we build a relationship with him from the very beginning.
Wallace
Do you have a young or adolescent dog? You NEED to see Wallace’s series! He did a fantastic job demonstrating how to teach attention and everyday training with an adolescent Malinois mix who has energy to spare. You’ll see a ton of great lessons on recall, socialization, getting comfortable in public spaces, and analyzing play and body language with other dogs!

CURRENT PROJECT
COPS + DOGS
We’re investigating how dogs became tools of policing, who gets harmed, and what happens to the dogs themselves.
If these series have helped you and your dog, you can help make this project possible. Your support helps fund the research, filming and editing, while keeping the investigation free to read, watch and share.
