    Canine Master - Episode 28 Off the Leash, On the Level: How to Train for Trust & Safety
    May 20 2025
    When and how can I let my dog off-leash? Every pet owner would love the luxury of having a dog who is reliable off leash. The truth is it is always a calculated risk to do so. Chris and Jaimee discuss how to give your dog the best chance of being safe and predictable off leash. It requires establishing the right relationship and building the skills and teaching the commands that will lead to success. We also discuss the importance of knowing and following local leash laws and what to do if an off-leash dog approaches you in an unwanted way. Always prioritize safety and be aware of the potential risks, starting with controlled environments and building up to more challenging situations as your dog's training and recall become more reliable.

    Canine Master - Episode 27 Mastering the Walk: How to Prevent Leash Meltdowns
    May 5 2025
    On this episode of Canine Master, host Chris Onthank teams up with Jaimee Kelsey, Director of Training at Dog Gone Smart, to tackle one of the most common behavior challenges dog owners face: leash reactivity. Why does your dog act like a totally different animal the second you clip on the leash? Chris and Jamie explain the “fight or flight” dilemma, how body language can be misinterpreted on walks, and what you can do to prevent aggressive or fearful leash behavior. Plus, they break down the best tools for walking your dog—why retractable leashes might be a no-go, and which harnesses and leads get two paws up. If you’ve ever wondered why your sweet pup turns into Cujo on a leash, this episode is for you!
