Truisms

Dog Works Radio and come up with six truisms, which are distinctive practices, systems, philosophies, or artistic movements that the hosts feel like sharing on a whim.

“We are not your typical coach, these are a few phrases you’ll hear them say on Dog Works Radio…”

We don't just train dogs, we coach people

On Dog Works Radio, the message is clear: the real transformation happens when the human steps up. Training isn’t about commanding obedience; it’s about building a relationship where the dog and handler grow together.

A lead dog isn't born, it's made on the trail

Borrowed from mushing philosophy, this truism underlines that leadership is a process. Dogs, and people, learn to lead through experience, persistence, and handling the unexpected, not by shortcuts or promises of perfection.

Cookie-cutter programs fail in dog training

The hosts remind listeners often that Alaska’s lifestyle demands custom solutions. Wildlife encounters, harsh weather, and active families mean training must be personalized, not one-size-fits-all.

If your trainer promises a 'perfect dog,' run

Dog Works Radio doesn’t shy away from calling out gimmicks. They emphasize that training is about progress, not perfection, and that quick-fix promises usually backfire.

Trust the leash you can't buy

Equipment, tools, and techniques matter, but the foundation is always trust. The hosts use this truism to reinforce that connection and communication are the real “gear” that holds the team together.

The trail teaches what the classroom can't

A favorite Dog Works Radio philosophy: real-world experience is irreplaceable. Whether it’s a sled dog team learning pacing or a family dog learning recall, life outside four walls is where true skills develop.
