The Death of Obedience-Only Training

The Death of Obedience-Only Training is the hard truth every dog trainer and dog owner needs to hear. For decades, the industry pushed a one-size-fits-all obedience model: sit, stay, heel, done. But obedience-only training leaves dogs misunderstood, problems unsolved, and owners frustrated.

In this podcast, Western States K-9 College tears down the old way and shows you what modern, elite training really looks like. From behavior modification and psychology to real-world problem-solving and business strategies for trainers, you’ll discover why obedience-only is dead — and what to do instead.

If you want results that last, deeper connections with dogs, and a career built on more than cookie-cutter commands, this is your blueprint.
