Your dog knows the commands. But knowing a command at home and responding when real life is happening are two very different things.
Advancing Obedience is designed to show you why your dog’s obedience falls apart outside of a controlled environment and how to build it back up so it actually holds.
Tom works through Heel, Place, Stay, and Recall (come) while breaking down the psychology behind why your dog may listen perfectly at home, but struggle when guests come over, another dog passes on a walk, or you take them somewhere new.
You’ll learn how to create clarity so your dog understands what you’re asking, rather than only responding because you have food in your hand or waiting until a correction is given.
From there, Tom shows you how to systematically progress the commands your dog already knows using distance, duration, and distractions. You’ll learn when to make things harder, when your dog isn’t ready for the next step, and how to stop asking for too much too quickly.
This course isn’t about teaching fancy new commands. It’s about taking the obedience you’ve already worked hard to build and making it useful in real life.
By the end, you’ll understand not only how to build more reliable obedience, but why your dog struggles in the first place, giving you a framework you can continue using as you take your training into more challenging environments.
In this course, Tom uses a plastic pinch collar, 4-foot gummy leash, a 15-foot long line, safety clip, treat pouch, and NUBZ beef liver treats.
