My new book Control Before Comfort is coming out May 2026, and I need your help choosing the final cover.
This book explains the plan, the tools, and the process I use to rehabilitate fearful dogs and help people understand the difference between fear and aggression. It’s something I’ve spent years working with in real cases, and I want the cover to represent that message the right way.

FOSTERING DOGS? 🐾

Bringing a new dog into your home can be exciting—but it can also be risky if introductions aren’t done right. One wrong move can set the tone for conflict instead of calm.

In my new book "What the Hell is Heel?", I share step-by-step instructions for safely introducing a new dog into an existing pack—based on over 20 years of experience rehabilitating fearful and aggressive dogs.

My goal is simple: to help every dog feel safe, respected, and understood from day one.

🧠🐾 CHAPTER 4: PREPARE MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY & PHYSICALLY
Before you ever pick up the leash, your mindset sets the tone for everything that follows.

Dogs mirror us — if we’re calm, focused, and grounded, they respond in kind. But if we walk into training scattered or stressed, they feel that energy immediately.

This chapter from “What the Hell is Heel” gives you the tools to set yourself up for success before the session even begins. Because great training starts long before the first command. 💪🐶

🐾 Sneak Peek from My New Book — What the Hell is Heel
Heel doesn’t just transform the walk—it changes how your dog experiences the world.
📖 Excerpt from “What the Hell is Heel” 👇
HOW HEEL CHANGES DAILY LIFE
Heel doesn’t just transform the walk—it changes how your dog experiences the world.
Take an early morning walk. To you, it feels quiet and calm. To your dog, it’s a battlefield: owls overhead, coyotes lurking in brush, dogs behind fences barking like convicts rattling bars. While you feel relaxed, your dog’s brain is racing in survival mode. By the end, you’re physically exhausted, and your dog is emotionally drained.
Heel slows that mental chaos. It teaches your dog to pause, assess, and trust you to decide what matters. The owl isn’t coming for them, the coyote’s scent is old, and those barking dogs are contained. Your leadership helps them filter what’s real from what’s imagined.
This calm awareness extends to thresholds, guests, and recall. Heel creates a mindset that generalizes into every corner of life.
The Broader Impact of Heel
• Slows your dog’s mind — builds calmness instead of reactivity.
• Builds awareness of position — keeps your dog mentally and physically tuned to you.
• Develops decision-making — teaches your dog to make thoughtful choices.
• Clarifies your leadership style — your dog learns who you are as a leader.
• Forms the foundation for obedience — once heel is solid, other commands follow naturally.
Heel is not just a walking command—it’s the cornerstone of a respectful, trusting relationship.
A Reality Check
Even the best-trained dogs are still dogs. They’re living, breathing, emotional creatures—not robots. No matter how skilled, any dog can still make a bad choice, like bolting unexpectedly.
That’s why I’m not a fan of off-leash dogs in public. You never know what might trigger them. Most won’t run, but the risk is always there. As their handler, you are their advocate and protector. Their safety is ultimately your responsibility.
Heel isn’t about control—it’s about connection. It gives your dog clarity, peace, and a confident leader to follow.
