    #173 The Trainer Who Helped Rebuild My Protocols | Drive, Genetics & Off-Leash Obedience Breakdown

    He looked at my training program and told me I wasn't rewarding my dogs enough, and that my training programs were too short — and that one conversation reshaped how I train every dog I work with today. In this episode of Pack Talk Podcast, I sit down with John Smithhart of K9 Good Manners in Greenville, SC — a USAF K9 handler veteran and the trainer who helped fine-tune my protocols early in my career. We get into what's actually genetic versus trainable when it comes to drive, what real-world off-leash reliability actually requires, and John shares a story from handling a military detection dog that puts the word "obedience" in a completely different light. Recommend Training Equipment: 📖THE ULTIMATE LEASH TRAINING MANUAL : https://amzn.to/4papdHo 🐕Check out our Amazon Store : https://www.amazon.com/shop/caninerevolut 🔥 What You'll Learn: ✅ Why genetics decide part of a dog's trainability ✅ How to build real off-leash reliability ✅ The reward mistake many balanced trainers make ✅ What a military detection dog teaches about obedience ✅ How drive and genetics shape training outcomes ✅ Why longer training programs build more reliable dogs ✅ How working dog standards translate to pet dogs Off-leash reliability isn't something you get from a single session or a single command — it's built the same way any working dog's obedience is built: through structure, real distraction-proofing, and consistency that doesn't stop just because the leash comes off. ❓Questions answered in this video: - What is the difference between genetics and training in dogs? - Can a dog with low drive still be a good working dog? - How long does off-leash training take? - Why does my dog ignore me around distractions? - What is threshold training in dog training? - How are military and police dogs trained differently from pets? - What does a K9 handler do in the military? - Is balanced dog training compatible with reward-based training? 👀WATCH NEXT: ▶️ Understand Dog Body Language: https://youtu.be/GeFzkht6mzw ▶️ Get Your Dog To Listen To You: https://youtu.be/AOi4jVC446w ▶️ Stop Leash Pulling: https://youtu.be/raqpQq1x9FA ▶️E Collar Beginner's Guide: https://youtu.be/BJYHZEkNTnQ #DogTraining #OffLeashTraining #WorkingDogs #BalancedDogTraining #K9Handler #PackTalkPodcast TRAIN YOUR DOG WITH OUR TEAM! 👇 https://www.caninerevolutiondogtraining.com/ 📖THE ULTIMATE LEASH TRAINING MANUAL: https://amzn.to/4papdHo Board & Train Programs Private Lessons Virtual Training 🐕Check out our Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/caninerevolut Everything Canine Revolution https://linktr.ee/CanineRevolution
