I'm going to help you get amazing responses from your dog from a distance.

And it is going to be easier than you may think at first. But a dog responding from a distance

is just showing mastery of skills that they can do

really, really close up.

need, a dog will respond the first time we ask, we don't have to recue, we don't have

The dog hears a cue, boom. They go, yeah, I know what that means I'm going to do that. Okay, so we're going to clean that up today, right? That's the first thing. So, we have

a dog who understands what the verbal cues mean and they're excited to do it. The second thing
