Instead of bending over to free your dog’s leg, teach them to “Fix It!” This clever trick uses gentle leash pressure to show them how to step out of it themselves. A small lesson in problem-solving!

Struggling to be heard by your dog? What if the secret isn’t a better treat or a firmer correction, but a better connection?

Tired of carrying a pouch of treats everywhere or worrying about using the right gear? Meet a different way.

Tenderfoot Natural Dog Training isn’t about bribes or dominance. Founded on decades of experience, it’s a relationship-first method built on love, trust, and respect.

👉 This is for you if:
• You’re frustrated that your dog only listens when you have food.
• You dislike the idea of shock collars, choke chains, or harsh corrections.
• You want to understand your dog’s unique personality (“dogonality”) and communicate in a way they naturally understand.
• You dream of a calm, respectful bond where your dog looks to you for guidance.

Their downloadable video training teaches you the simple, foundational “Tenderfoot 3-Step” drills. These drills are designed to work for any dog, any age, and any issue—from leash pulling and anxiety to jumping and recall.

Stop managing behaviors and start building a lifelong relationship. Tap the link in our bio to learn more and purchase the video guide.

Transform your walks, your home, and your connection. #TenderfootTraining #NaturalDogTraining #DogTraining #RelationshipBasedTraining #ForceFree #DogTrainingVideo #Dogonality by @tenderfoot_training

Shifting from transactional (treat for a trick) to relational (touch for trust). A gentle caress can be the highest form of praise, reinforcing that good things happen when they are calm and connected with you. Rewarding with gentle touch teaches your dog to find calmness and connection in your presence, not just excitement in a snack. It’s a beautiful way to build a balanced and deeply trusting relationship.

Patience isn’t just for the puppy — it’s for you too. 🐾
Slow cues, calm energy, small wins. That’s how trust is built.

A sneak peak from a live lesson! The out drill will help protect your pups from hazards, as well as helping with reactivity and teaching self control! You can also use this drill to set boundaries in your home without the use of gates!

It is important to note whatever you are throwing in front of the animal should not be given to them as a reward. The point is to NOT eat whatever is being thrown in front of them. Give them some gentle touches instead!

Ask your dog to engage with you during your walks! We promise those check-ins with you will lead to a longer nap after! Give your dog as many reasons to check in with you, building a stronger relationship on leash. 🫎
