A Barking Shepherd at 4am = a Buffoon In His Underwear with a Loaded Gun
I have lived with Shepherds pretty much my whole life. I just love their style. They are easy to train, loyal and they come equipped with a built in security system. I have spent many nights sleeping soundly in the backcountry with my dogs knowing that if I NEEDED to be awake - they would sound the alarm. At 4am on June 29th 2017 that particular security system was tested... June 29th, 2017 was an important day for a lot of reasons. It was my wife's birthday. It was also her

Sharpening the Weapon
Liesel Weapon is a sleeve biting, man tracking, scent detecting, obedience rocking, badass little German Shepherd. She (and I) literally eat, breathe and sleep training (she actually has yet to eat food out of a bowl…it all comes from training). Now 6 months old, this 36 pound lean, mean (but actually really nice) fur missile is well on her way to becoming a 'super dog'. Thursday Oct 13th we are embarking on a journey. For 2 weeks we will be trading the mountains of Western M

She know 'paw'? Nope...but check this out...
I saw this video awhile back… I thought…ok that’s pretty badass. I want to train my next shep to do that. Now, I am by no means ‘tactically’ trained like the gentlemen in the video above, but I still think the notion of having a dog with obedience/bitework control paired with a firearm in this manner is pretty slick. Liesel Weapon has therefore been learning the ‘Stealth’ command. Essentially it is a modified attention heel between my legs. To illustrate her progress see be

The Run Your Pack Wilderness Immersion Package
Run Your Pack is excited to announce our new ‘Wilderness Immersion’ board and train package. What does this mean for your dog? Well, in a nutshell, it means that you, the human, may just be jealous about where your dog gets to stay while they are being trained… Set back in a secluded setting in the mountains of western Montana: your dog will get 1 on 1 training and care while they run in the woods, drink from a fresh mountain creek and sleep right in the trainer’s home: a pea
