                       Teaching "OFF"

Off is a cue that communicates to your dog to keep four paws on the floor. Get off the furniture, get your paws off the kitchen counter, off the door, etc. Because dogs naturally put their paws up on things, this is a "good manners" behavior that will make your life with your dog much easier.

Teaching "Calming Ovals"

One of the most important things we can do is teach your dog how to bring their own arousal level down. Over arousal can lead to an out-of-control dog and also can be one of the primary precursors to aggression.

Teaching "Leave-It"

Leave-It is a proactive cue to communicate to your dog to back away and leave an object alone. It is not a reprimand. You can use it to ask your dog to leave your dinner, the cat, the child, or a dead bird on the beach. It's also another way to have your dog exercise self control.
