Begin Here Guide All DTC Dog Teams

Begin Here.  How to use my blog.  I offer in person and online dog handler training.  All students directly and indirectly working with me are expected to be self starters, disciplined and motivated to reach short and long term training goals.  I offer free basic self starter guides for us to utilize.

All dogs are long term commitments and training your dog is no different.  We begin with self paced online instruction and tips from my weekly blog posts.  The blog all categories offer a table of contents so you can easily navigate the blog posts from past and present.  You can skip to what you want.

The full master list of DTC dog and handler training gear I use and teach you to use. Is posted for you to purchase directly through using the product links.  I have required gear and non required gear listed on the Gear I Love page.  Do not buy everything!  See the DTC Required gear page. This basic gear is for ALL teams in training regardless of purpose or age of dog.  Over the course of your training journey I will recommend other gear from that list that is suitable for your purpose.
