Keep Your Dog Safe—and Your Bond Strong
Every Mosaic K9 training plan starts with five essentials — the foundations that create calm, confident dogs and reliable behavior at home and in public.
We call them the Non-Negotiables — the skills that make results stick.
-
Engagement — Your dog’s focus is everything—engagement builds trust and connection before any skill.
-
Reliable Recall — Freedom and safety in one cue: your dog comes every time, even with distractions.
-
Solid Stay — Calm under pressure. Stay means impulse control and composure in any situation.
-
Leave It — Safety through self-control. “Leave it” stops bad choices before they happen.
-
Loose Leash Walking — Walks should connect, not clash—your dog moves with you, not against you.
Why These Five?
They’re the pillars that support every Mosaic K9 training program — from puppies learning structure to reactive dogs relearning calm. Once these are solid, everything else becomes easier: reliability, confidence, and freedom on and off leash.
