Reality Dog Training
George
I met George at the shelter after he had spent months there. He was strong, excitable and looking for a home. Taking him out of that shelter was just the beginning of a much bigger story than just teaching a few basic skills.

From the shelter into everyday life
George’s series follows our first day out of the shelter through training walks, meeting our dogs, basic training struggles and how we overcame them, some epic frisbee lessons, and the search for his next home.
His strength is obvious from the start. In fact, learning to let go of a toy turns into one of our biggest challenges.
You’ll see plenty of great examples of how we change course when a lesson is not working, too!
Follow the episodes in order for the whole story, including one of our most difficult goodbyes to date…
A few moments from the series
While sharing George’s series, I wrote about having great success one day and feeling like you’re back to square one the next. That is totally NORMAL and OK! The best trainers are the ones who don’t hesitate to go all the way back to basics with their dog if needed.
