When I train your dog, I use certain commands to communicate what I want from him. Understanding those commands can be really helpful when you get your OMO dog home, have him rested up and acclimated and are ready to start to get to know each other on stock.

In the video below, I describe the commands and how to use them with your new dog. After you finish watching, let me know if you have and questions below and take a moment to download my free reference guide for these basic commands.

In today's video, you'll learn:

What command I consider to be MOST important
What you should use your stick for
And see examples of basic commands

After watching, make sure to print the free guide below.

Here is the printable OMO Commands Guide: Get it here!

Rhian's been having a problem with her dog growling and snapping at other dogs and just owning the space.

Beau's 4 years old now, so the problem began since she started having puppies and it's snowballed for Rhian where she can't trust her, so we're going to build Rhian's trust in the dog, so we can trust Beau around other dogs and pups.
Some of the things I'll demonstrate in the video below:

Some things you should avoid with your dog
what to watch for to find out if your dog is "owning the space"
How to use a pinch collar and where to place it
How to expose your dog to situations and other dogs

Take a look at the video and if you have questions, comment below.

You can also join us this Saturday (January 28, 2023) on our Facebook Live, starting at 9AM Mountain Time. Rhian and I will continue this training, so if you have any questions, post them in the comments during the live video and we'll get them answered for you.

Next week I will be litter testing Pink x Trip pups and I will have some available for purchase. Contact me to discuss your needs.
