Charles asks…Should I train dog off leash again?Hello, I have a 13 month old pit bull. I have had her since she was 3 months, and she has come a long way.

Now when I say 'down',

James asks…Need help with a Maremma Sheepdog! Training advice?We have a 1-year old Maremma Sheepdog that we just can't control.

George asks…How to train a Shiba Inu puppy?I just purchased a Shiba Inu puppy and I am having trouble training it. The puppy knows what the word "No," means, but will not listen.

William asks…Training to walk on a leash?We've adopted 2 now 10 month old great danes. Their previous owners didn't teach them any obedience at all. My biggest concern is to get them walking on a leash. I've gotten a gentle leader collar, which isn't working at the moment, the dogs just falls over and refuses to move.
