Welcome to Dogsmanship

Where leadership begins with listening.

Dogsmanship isn’t just about training dogs.
It’s about understanding them—deeply, honestly, and from their point of view.

Most people come to me looking for a way to change their dog’s behavior.
What they often find is that real change starts with them.

Here, we don’t chase obedience for obedience’s sake.
We focus on clarity, trust, and mutual respect—built through consistent leadership and quiet observation.

Because movement is dialogue.
Your dog is always communicating. The question is: are you listening in a way that makes sense to them?

We help dog owners shift from reacting to behavior, to reading it.
From controlling their dog, to connecting with them.
From managing symptoms, to understanding the source.

This is not about quick fixes, trendy tools, or emotional theatrics.
It’s about showing up differently—so your dog can, too.

Dogsmanship teaches you to:

• Lead without force
  

• Listen without emotion
  

• Build trust through movement, space, and timing
  

• Step into the role your dog is waiting for you to claim
  

If you’ve tried everything and still feel something’s missing, you’re not alone.
We’re here to offer a different perspective—one grounded in experience, not theory.
No gimmicks. No fluff. Just real dogs, real people, and real conversations.

It’s not the dog. It’s you.
And that’s the best place to start.

Safe training.

“It’s Not the Dog. It’s You.”
Movement is dialogue. Leadership is earned. The dog will teach you everything… you’re willing to listen.

"A human trying to control a canine with emotion is like a fish trying to teach a bird to swim." ~ Chris Fraize

Ready to see your dog—and yourself—more clearly?

There are over 400 videos available on Patreon.
Every session is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and grow in your understanding of what leadership truly means.

For those looking to go deeper, Chris is also releasing a series of eBooks, each designed to unpack key concepts of Dogsmanship in a way that’s accessible, practical, and grounded in lived experience—not abstract ideas. These books offer insight for both new and seasoned dog owners who want to better understand the conversation their dog is already having with them.
