Whether you have experienced it first hand, have heard stories from friends, or seen videos, most of us are all too familiar with dogs counter surfing. Maybe you left your popcorn on the coffee table (like Trevor did in this video), or you left your breakfast on the counter and ran in another room and...

Jumping. On counters, on people, on other dogs, you name it. Jumping can be a very difficult thing to get your dog to stop doing. We’ll cover more on counter-surfing in a later video in this Dog Training POV Series, but right now we will talk about greeting behaviors and jumping. In the video, Trevor...

Whether you’re...

We know that when it comes to raising a happy, healthy, and well-behaved dog, the right tools (like treats and training) make all the difference.
