When he is really big now what ? How will you control it ?
Don’t do this to your Boerboel or it will be a disaster 😳
Using e collar without a clear communication system is a recipe for disaster !
So what actually happens if you join DCP?
Because this is not four months of random dog training videos.
DCP is structured around one goal:
Building real control with your dog, even when drive and distraction go up.
We start with communication.
Before asking for control, your dog needs to clearly understand the language between you.
Commands.
Pressure.
Release.
Reward.
Consequences.
Then we build engagement.
Then obedience.
Then we progressively add more difficulty.
More distraction.
More excitement.
More pressure.
More drive.
Because I don’t care if your dog looks perfect when nothing is happening.
I care if you can still communicate with him when something he really wants appears.
And this is where DCP is different from just buying another online dog training course.
You’ll be training your own dog, sending me videos, and I’ll be reviewing your work and helping you correct mistakes as you progress.
We’ll also have weekly calls where we can go through problems, questions and what you need to work on next.
And one of the most important parts is this:
I’m not only helping you train your dog.
I’m teaching YOU how to handle your dog.
Because if the owner doesn’t understand timing, pressure, reward, engagement and progression, the training will never be as reliable as it could be.
The goal over these four months is simple:
Better communication.
More trust.
More freedom.
More control.
And ultimately, full off-leash control, even when drive goes up.
If you own a serious working or guardian dog and you want me to take a look at your situation, comment CONTROL and I’ll send you the details by DM.

Drive doesn’t have to mean chaos.
For the last few days, I’ve been talking about one idea again and again:
A dog knowing commands is not the same thing as having real control.
A lot of working dog owners already have a dog that knows sit, down, heel and recall.
The problem starts when something more important appears.
Another dog.
Prey.
Excitement.
Frustration.
Drive.
And suddenly the obedience that looked good in a calm environment starts falling apart.
That is exactly the problem I built DCP around.
DCP means Drive Control Protocol.
It is a 4-month coaching program for owners of serious working and guardian dogs who want better real-world control, especially when drive and distraction go up.
The goal is not to suppress the dog.
It is not to remove intensity.
And it is definitely not to turn a powerful working dog into a flat pet.
The goal is to keep the drive...
and keep the communication.
Because a dog can be powerful and still listen.
He can be excited and still respond.
He can want something badly and still stay connected to you.
That is the level of control I care about.
Inside DCP, we work on things like:
• recall
• off-leash control
• engagement
• leash behavior
• reactivity
• obedience under distraction
• communication
• control under drive
But the real objective is bigger than any individual command.
I want you to be able to live with your dog with more trust.
More freedom.
More safety.
And a lot less stress when something happens around you.
This is not protection training.
And it is not a generic obedience course.
It is for people who own serious dogs and want control that still works when the dog is actually in drive.
I’m opening a small number of places because I’ll be personally involved in reviewing the dogs, the training and the progress.
If this sounds like the problem you’re dealing with, comment CONTROL and I’ll send you the details by DM.
I’m going to do some jiu-jitsu with my dog.
I’m joking, of course.
But here’s the real point:
You’re probably trying to fix the wrong problem with your dog.
A lot of owners think they have an obedience problem.
So they keep teaching more commands.
More sit.
More down.
More heel.
More recall.
But if your dog already knows those commands and still ignores you when excitement goes up, when another dog appears, when prey kicks in, or when something becomes more important than you...
then the problem is probably not that he needs more commands.
The problem is that the control was never built to survive those moments.
And that changes everything.
For me, the process starts with communication.
Your dog needs to clearly understand what you want.
He needs to understand pressure, release, reward, consequences and what each command actually means.
Then you build engagement.
Then you add pressure.
Then distractions.
And only after that do you start testing the dog when drive is really active.
Because that’s where you find out if the training actually works.
By the way, if this sounds like your dog and you want some help, comment CONTROL and I’ll send you the details by DM.
And one important thing:
I don’t want to remove the drive from a working dog.
That makes no sense to me.
Drive is part of what makes these dogs special.
It gives us motivation.
Focus.
Intensity.
Engagement.
Something powerful to work with.
The goal is not to make the dog less powerful.
The goal is to keep the power and still keep the communication.
A dog can be excited and still listen.
He can want something badly and still respond.
He can have strong drive and still be under control.
That is the standard I care about.
Not obedience that only works when everything is calm.
Real communication.
Real control.
In real life.

There is only one way to really control your big working dog 😳
03/09/2026
I’ve worked with powerful dogs for 25+ years, and there’s one thing I learned very early that most dog owners still get wrong.
I’m talking about high-drive working and guardian dogs like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Boerboels, Rottweilers, Cane Corsos and others.
A dog knowing commands does NOT mean you have control.
I started with Rottweilers when I was very young.
Like most people, I focused on obedience:
Sit.
Down.
Stay.
Heel.
Recall.
And yes, all of that matters.
But then I started noticing something.
A dog could look amazing in training...
Then another dog appeared.
Prey kicked in.
Excitement went up.
Something happened that actually mattered to the dog.
And suddenly, the obedience became much less reliable.
That taught me something that shaped the way I train dogs to this day:
You cannot judge control when the dog is calm.
You have to judge it when the dog actually wants something.
That’s the real test.
With powerful working dogs, drive is not something I want to remove.
Drive is what makes these dogs special.
The goal is to keep the drive AND keep the communication.
The dog can be excited and still listen.
He can be in prey and still respond.
He can have power and still be under control.
And that starts with something most owners are missing:
A clear language between you and the dog.
The dog needs to understand pressure, release, reward, commands and consequences clearly.
Without that communication, obedience becomes fragile.
It works until the environment changes.
For me, real obedience is not a beautiful heel in a quiet training field.
It’s being able to communicate with your dog when drive goes up.
Because that’s where control becomes safety.
And peace of mind.
After 25+ years, that’s still the lesson I keep coming back to:
Drive is not the enemy.
Losing communication when drive goes up is the problem.
If you own a serious working or guardian dog and this sounds familiar, comment CONTROL and I’ll send you the details.
Stop training your working dog like he’s a normal pet.
If you keep training him that way, sooner or later, you’re going to screw it up.
High-drive dogs need clear communication, engagement and control that still works when drive goes up.
A dog listening when everything is calm is one thing.
A dog listening when another dog appears, prey kicks in, excitement rises, or distractions are everywhere...
That’s real control.
If this sounds like your dog and you need some help, comment CONTROL and I’ll send you the details by DM.
