Meet Bear. Bear was the first dog that went through our adopt program. We routinely adopt dogs from a local shelter, train them and find them new, permanent homes. When I first meet Bear, he had been in the shelter for a pretty long time and was losing his chance at finding a home.
This is a very interesting letter that came from a woman in Vancouver, BC. It goes to show that the electronic remote training collar (aka: Shock collar) is just a tool and like any can be used well or used poorly. Jill Sharp is a former student of the TMD E-cademy program. I am proud to say that her education shines through and I’m happy she could help Roman. Congrats Jill and kudos to Lee and Roman. I am glad […]

A while back I wrote about small breed dogs and training them with a remote training collar. One of these days I’ll write about young dogs and puppies as well….but for today I just wanted to share some pictures of two little cuties that are currently going through training programs. Meet Lucky & Tessie. These two have a few things in common. For one, they are both young pups. Lucky is 18 weeks old and Tessie is 16 weeks old. […]

Here is a small clip from a recent training workshop in Cleveland, OH. The topic for discussion was; does the stimulation need to […]

A thumbs up from another happy dog owner who gave remote collar training a try. Professional dog trainer, Summer Milroy is a former student of the TMD E-cademy program and is now working in the Sanger, Texas area.
