In this episode, Kati Peppe from Diamond K9 Dog Training explains the essentials of board and train programs and the critical role of accountability when teaching commands like “place.” She also discusses the limits of short training periods and stresses the need for consistent, structured practice to ensure skills transfer and lead to a reliable dog in home settings.

Episode Highlights

• 00:00: Kati welcomes listeners and introduces the show’s focus on honest, effective dog training.
• 00:01: She outlines the training services offered—off-leash obedience, behavior modification, and puppy training—and how these are reflected in her board and train programs.
• 00:02: Kati discusses the two-week board and train program, noting its impressive results despite its short duration and limited scenario replication.
• 00:04: She addresses a common mistake: giving dogs too much freedom too soon. Using the “place” command as an example, she explains that dogs need to earn freedom through supervised practice.
• 00:07: The importance of accountability is emphasized. Consistency in rules and consequences at home is key to transferring learned behaviors from training sessions.
• 00:09: Kati shares examples of real-life challenges, such as distractions in public settings, and highlights the need to rigorously test and reinforce commands in these environments.
• 00:12: She underscores that clear consequences for breaking commands are essential. Without proper accountability, even well-trained dogs may revert to unwanted behaviors.
• 00:17: Kati concludes by stressing that reliable obedience comes from structured training and consistent feedback. Owners should only allow unsupervised freedom once the dog consistently meets expectations.

This concise episode delivers practical tips on building dependable obedience through structure, supervision, and clear accountability.
