Introducing the Dog Training POV Series with Trevor Smith | Pupford

Training a dog is hard work! Whether you just adopted a new puppy, a rescue, or senior, or have had a dog for quite some time, our dogs will get into things we don’t want them to, have accidents, regress in training, bark, pull, bite, and so much more! And there are so many questions we see pup parents ask on a regular basis. Questions like, “How should I react to a potty accident?” “What should I do when my dog bites me?” And, “How do I redirect my dog?” Among many others.
In this series we will be taking a journey with Trevor Smith’s new dog, Bolt. Trevor has attached a camera to his chest, to catch his dog Bolt in action, doing some good… and some not so good things. Things like potty accidents, jumping up on people, counter surfing (and sneaking some food), biting, and more. All so you can see what to do at the exact moment that something happens.
ABOUT TREVOR SMITH
Trevor is a CPDT-KA trainer who continually attends seminars and conferences to improve his knowledge of dog training, and all things dogs.
He is a strong advocate for pain and force-free methods and believes that we should all personally feel good about the methods we use to train our dogs.
When not training dogs, Trevor and his wife (a veterinarian) enjoy fun outdoor activities like scuba diving and zip-lining, taking their dogs on hikes, and playing video games.
Trevor is also a Certified Canine Fitness Trainer from the University of Tennessee.
Trevor will be doing deep dives on different topics to help teach you what to do to sculpt the behavior that you want to see, all in real time!
Here are some of the videos you can expect to see in this series:
Chewing
Biting
Jumping
Counter Surfing,
Potty Training
Reward Training
Leash Training
Socialization
As a dog trainer, Trevor knows that mistakes can be made while training a dog and that as pup parents, we may not do the best job setting our dog up for success.
So follow along every week as Trevor goes through different training techniques, ways to set your dog up for success, learn how to control your dog’s environment, and so much more!

I am really looking forward to this series! I’m a Trevor Smith fan, so looking forward to seeing him. Also, just from a personal point of view, it makes me feel so much better when I see professional trainers’ dogs making the same mistakes my own dogs do. That makes me feel so much better about my own training and that I’m not a complete and total failure!!

I am really looking forward to this series! First, I’m a fan of Trevor Smith. And I just love to see it when “professional trainers” dogs act like my dogs! It’s so heartening to know I’m know a complete idiot and numblenuts when it comes to training and that my dogs aren’t the only ones that aren’t perfect (and that isn’t all my own fault that they aren’t).
