Puppy Quick Start Program
Welcome to the Puppy Quick Start program.
Below are the set of videos that will help you with everything you need to get your puppy off to an incredible quick start.
The Three Key Axioms of Dog Training
Dog Behaviour modification training is very simple and can be summarised into 3 sets of axioms.
Axiom 1
- We reward for the behaviour we want to see.
- We DO NOT REWARD FOR THE BEHAVIOUR WE DON’T WANT TO SEE
- The more we reward for the behaviour, the more of that behaviour (good or bad) we will get
Axiom 2
“Never issue a command you are not willing or able to enforce.”
Throughout the program, I will be referring to these axioms repeatedly. Be sure to memorize these as they will help you be a better doggie leader.
Axiom 3
“We never negotiate with Terrorists, and Terrorists never win”

Being able to have perfect recall is key to being able to trust your dog off leash. Imagine if your dog runs off to chase the cat and be able to have the ability to call them to come back. Or imagine if they bolt out the front door, with good recall training, you can ask them to come back.
Another benefit of perfect recall is being able to let them off leash in certain situations without the fear of them running off and endangering themselves.
