Step-By-Step Tutorials

This program includes step-by-step tutorials on how to teach and build each command to your dog. It will also include tips and directions for those moments you may feel like your dog isn't "getting it".

Transfer Training to Real Life

Transferring your dog's training from sessions to real life can be a challenge. This program will provide deep-dive directions on exactly how to build your dog's training to begin working around distractions. 

Bonus Commands

While every dog should know the foundational commands, I wanted to also share commands that can elevate your dog's training and apply an additional level of safety to their lives.

MEET THE TRAINER

Hi! I'm Taylor Frank. As a trainer, I utilize a method called Choice-based training. This is game-based training in conjunction with positive reinforcement to teach your dog how to make the choices we want them to make.  Over the last two decades of training dogs (and humans), there are two primary struggles that I’ve noticed owners face when working with their dogs: 1. They don’t have a clear understanding of where to start.  2. They struggle to transfer their training to real-life situations. The Foundational Four Program was created to help you tackle both of those concerns and to give you the knowledge to work with your dog!
