Ep. 40 - Are You Neglecting This Vital Step in Your Dog ’ s Training Plan? | Evan Doggett Interview

Many dog trainers only focus on obedience… but what if the real solution to your dog’s behavior issues lies somewhere else entirely?

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Nate Schoemer sits down with Evan Doggett (@doggett.style) to explore how small, often-ignored factors can transform a dog’s behavior from the inside out. From understanding canine communication to rethinking tools like e-collars, this episode uncovers what truly makes dogs reliable, calm, and happy companions.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why your dog’s daily habits can shape behavior long before formal training begins
• A simple “doggie multivitamin” recipe that owners swear by
• How to use e-collars the right way, as a tool for communication, not punishment
• The difference between socialization and desensitization (and why it matters)
• Practical ways to fix reactivity, aggression, and resource guarding
• How to make training fun, effective, and sustainable for both ends of the leash

Top Quotes from Evan Doggett:

“If your dog treat has more than five ingredients, throw it away.”
“Most behavior problems start with the body, fix the health, and you fix the brain.”
“At the beginning, think of the e-collar like a gentle leash pull, it’s about communication, not control.”

About Evan Doggett:
Founder of Doggett Style Dog Training, Evan blends humor, science, and real-world experience to help owners raise confident, balanced, and well-behaved dogs through clear communication and modern training strategies.

Ep. 26 - Little Devil to Perfect Angel – Teaching Boundaries with Leash Pressure & Tone

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the most effective and humane ways to transform your dog’s behavior—using leash pressure and tone to build clear, consistent boundaries your dog actually understands.

If your dog constantly tests limits, ignores commands, or leaves you feeling frustrated, this approach can take you from chaos to calm.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use leash pressure as guidance—not punishment

  • Time your tone to communicate with meaning

  • Stay clear, consistent, and fair with your expectations

  • Establish boundaries your dog will respect for life

This is the same method I’ve used to help countless families turn their “little devils” into well-mannered companions—and you can do it too.
