Welcome to In Session
Real training sessions, real dogs, real-life learning.
These videos highlight the small decisions, communication, and body language that shape every moment of a session. You’ll see how training mechanics, timing, and environment all work together — and what they look like in action.
Leash Walking
Ignoring People in Town
A short real-world session in a busy small-town with Lucy. I’m working on helping Lucy to notice but not approach people when we’re out. Realistic expectations and a plan are vital in teaching dogs that people predict food, not necessarily hellos.

Pattern Walking for Nervous Dogs
A short real-world session in a busy small-town environment. This pattern game gives dogs control over movement and helps them process the environment at their own pace. Each look from Lucy signals she’s ready to move ahead, creating calm, choice-based progress on leash.
