German Shepherd 101

The Ultimate Guide for German Shepherd Owners

THIS speeds up dog training FAST (secret training tip)

The latest information from SpiritDog Training...

Here’s a secret to speed up your dog-training progress you’ll rarely hear anywhere else…

A fundamental key to successful training is the strength of the relationship you have with your dog.

For example, Hannah is a veteran student of mine with years of dog-training experience…

Yet when it came to her Border Collie, Zest, although she had the technique — the bond wasn’t there.

It wasn’t until she applied a few simple relationship-building tips I shared with her when this finally happened:

“The first year that I had Zest was really difficult.

She didn’t want to pay attention to me, and her behavior was a little erratic.

Building a strong bond has been one of the most important things we’ve done to overcome the issues we had with engagement and focus on me.

We overcame our training challenges by working on relationship-building with the tricks and training provided…

And it has completely changed my relationship with Zest.

We’re now traveling across the world together to compete in agility because she’s able to focus and engage with me, even in busy competitive environments.

Zest and I are representing Canada at the European Open which takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July.

This is the first time we’ve competed at a world level so it really speaks to how far we’ve come.”

Amazing right?

So why am I telling you this?

After 10+ years of working with over 110,000 students both online and offline…

I noticed an alarming pattern of dog owners of different breeds, ages, and backgrounds asking for help on their dog’s erratic public behavior…

That’s why I was inspired to put all the training into one comprehensive courseFocus In Public

Where I share all of my dog-training secrets to speed up your training progress you’ll never hear anywhere else, WITHOUT risking the trust and relationship with your dog.

And since its release, hundreds of happy dog owners have been messaging me about how calm, responsive and focused their dogs are, no matter the place…

How they stay by their owner’s side and follow every command, no matter the situation…

And with just 5-10 minutes of training a day, you can join them too.

Apply THESE dog-training secrets to accelerate your progress — and in just days your dog will start to follow your every command in busy streets, trails, and even dog parks.

P.S. Hannah was just one of the many students who are facing engagement and focus issues.

I recently did a survey and asked what the problems our Focus In Public students had, and this is what they told me:

  • Lucie: “My dog wants to say hi to everyone, so everyone she sees it’s like ‘OMG HI, I want to meet you and sit on your feet…’ 🤪🤣”
  • Hester: “Our main issue is when my dog sees a squirrel, chipmunk, rabbit she goes from 4-100 in no time.”
  • Abby: “Our biggest struggle is focusing when other dogs are around. My pup Arthur doesn’t even care about his favorite treats when he sees another dog.”
  • Bonnie: “Our biggest problem is her dragging me to see people we may or may not know.”
  • Lynda: “My little terrier is very excitable… when visitors come, he goes nuts with excitement.”

And if any of the above rings a bell, you are not alone.

This is exactly what Focus In Public can help you with.

We have plenty of lessons on leash walking, impulse control, prey drive control, training under distracting situations, and even training sessions from our students!

If you follow our course lessons closely, it’s hard NOT to see improvements in your dog.

P.P.S. My step-by-step strategy I share with you in Focus In Public was personally developed and refined after over a decade of dog-training experience…

Along with all the tools, tips, and tricks that tackle every single behavior problem (and works for all dog breeds from different backgrounds, no matter their age).

That’s why you’ll NEVER find any of my highly-prized information from Focus In Public on YouTube, in dog-training magazines, or anywhere else in the world but HERE.
