This is Week 2 with our March group of dogs at Paradigm K9. Every dog that comes through our program is at a different starting point. Some just need better manners and focus, while others are dealing with bigger behavior issues like reactivity, lack of impulse control, or aggression. In this video you’ll see: • How we work through dog reactivity during leash walking• The difference between a functional heel vs. formal heel• Why obedience only matters if the dog will listen when it really counts• How we properly layer the e-collar on top of known commands• Why clear communication and motivation create reliable obedience without conflict One of the biggest mistakes people make with training tools like the e-collar is using them before the dog understands the behavior. At Paradigm K9 we teach the behavior first through motivation and clarity, then layer tools to reinforce the communication system. The result is a dog that understands what to do, enjoys working, and responds reliably even around real-world distractions. 📍 Paradigm K9 – Central Ohio🐾 Professional Board & Train Programs🎥 Follow along each week as we show the real training process.
