Are you tired of feeling like you’re constantly reacting to your dog’s behavior instead of actually changing it?
Barking, pulling, jumping, nipping, stealing things, losing focus around distractions—these struggles aren’t random, and they aren’t because your dog is “being bad.”
They’re the result of patterns.
That’s where the ABC’s of Dog Training comes in.
This mini-class includes three in-depth workshops that work together to give you a complete, real-life training framework:
Stop guessing, stop firefighting, and start understanding why behavior happens so you can make small, powerful changes that lead to real progress.
The ABC framework gives you a clear, practical way to analyze behavior:
A – Antecedent
What happens before the behavior.
(Environment, triggers, setup, expectations, your actions.)
B – Behavior
What your dog actually does.
(Jumping, barking, pulling, grabbing, disengaging, choosing calm.)
C – Consequence
What happens after the behavior.
(Food, movement, attention, relief, access, or self-rewarding outcomes.)
The Foundation
This workshop walks you through the ABC model step-by-step and shows you how to:
Identify hidden triggers that set behavior in motion
Separate emotion from behavior so you can respond more clearly
Stop blaming yourself (or your dog) and start adjusting the system
Apply the ABC’s to common struggles like reactivity, leash manners, and jumping
This is the big-picture view that helps everything else make sense.
Change the Setup Before Things Go Wrong
So many training struggles happen before training even starts.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
Choose the right environment for learning
Spot early signs of over-arousal and stress
Adjust distance, timing, expectations, and distractions
Set up training sessions that feel successful instead of chaotic
Small changes to antecedents can create massive behavior shifts—and this workshop shows you exactly how.
Why Behavior Keeps Repeating (and How to Change That)
Behaviors repeat because they work, even when we don’t want them to.
In this workshop, we explore:
Where consequences actually come from (humans, the environment, other dogs, internal relief)
Why self-reinforcing behaviors are so hard to change
How instant gratification impacts leash manners and social behavior
How to use food, movement, and access strategically, not randomly
This workshop is a game-changer for dogs who pull, lunge, bark, or struggle around other dogs and people.
When you learn to adjust the Antecedents, support the Behavior, and control the Consequences, everything changes for you and your dog.
