When Meat Loaf sang about doing anything for love—but not that—he probably wasn’t talking about dogs. Yet, it’s a phrase I see come to life every day with well-meaning dog owners. You love your dog, and you want them to listen, but you’ve probably noticed a frustrating truth: there’s always a limit to what love and treats can accomplish.

Maybe it’s when your dog ignores your call to come back from the yard. Or when they dart after a squirrel, oblivious to your commands. Or when they bark incessantly, even though you’ve begged, bribed, and pleaded for them to stop. They’ll do anything for love—or for that treat in your hand—except for that one thing you need most.

That’s where I come in.

Why Treats Won’t Cut It

Treat training sounds great in theory: give your dog a tasty reward, and they’ll happily listen. But here’s the problem—treats are unreliable. They work when the stakes are low and there’s nothing better competing for your dog’s attention. But the moment a squirrel darts across the yard, or a tempting smell wafts by, the treat loses its power.

And what’s worse? Treat training doesn’t build true leadership. Dogs look to their owners for guidance and security. When they see you relying on treats to “buy” their obedience, they know who’s really in charge—and it’s not you.

The Leadership Your Dog Needs

Dogs don’t need bribes to thrive; they need leaders. They need someone who can guide them, set boundaries, and communicate in a way they understand. When your dog respects you as a leader, they’ll listen—not because you’re holding a treat, but because they trust you.

But becoming that leader isn’t something you can learn from watching a video or reading an article. It takes hands-on guidance, personalized to you and your dog’s unique situation. That’s what I offer.
