Dog Training Revolution
Wallace
Wallace is an adolescent Malinois mix with plenty of energy and drive. We use play to give that energy an outlet while teaching the skills we need to live together.

Give the energy somewhere to go
Play is a big part of Wallace’s training. Tug, toys and everyday opportunities helped me find rewards that mattered to him, including moments when food was not what he wanted most.
The playlist mixes fuller lessons with short demonstrations. We work on attention, leave it, barking, household destruction, recall, leash walking and reactivity.
What I really love about this series is that you can watch how easily the small pieces of communication we teach Wallace can develop into more demanding, complex skills.
If you live with a dog who seems ready to do something all the time, Wallace will give you plenty of examples of working with that enthusiasm.
A few moments from the series
Early on, I wrote Wallace does not trust me yet. Understanding why a dog is reacting a certain way matters much more than whether we can get them to sit on cue.
Later, a small growl from Veronica told me she was uncomfortable. I redirected Wallace without touching him, drawing on the communication we had built by then, and helped give Veronica space. Watch that moment, and read more about introducing dogs and living together.
