We Don’t Use Magic Commands, We Use Proven Systems

Every week, someone asks us:
“What command do you use to get the dog to listen like that?”
“What’s the secret cue?”
“What word do you say to stop the behavior?”

Here’s the answer most people don’t want to hear:
There are no magic commands in dog training.

At Alaska Dog Works, we don’t rely on secret cues, viral tricks, or trendy commands. We rely on systems that have trained thousands of dogs over three decades, systems built on timing, structure, and consistency.

Dogs don’t follow magic commands.
They follow patterns.
They follow leadership.
They follow what’s reinforced.

It’s Not the Command, It’s the Way You Use It

Two owners can use the same command and get completely different results.
Why?

Because dogs respond to:

• tone

• timing

• clarity

• follow-through

Not the vocabulary.

If your timing is off, your tone wavers, or your follow-through is inconsistent, the command becomes noise. It doesn’t matter if you say sit, stay, down, or the fanciest cue you found online.

What matters is the system behind it.

Consistency Beats Cleverness

People often believe their dog needs a new word or a special phrase to finally “get it.”
They don’t.

They need you to be consistent.
They need structure.
They need repetition they can trust.

Your dog should respond anywhere, not just at home, not just in class, and not just when they feel like it. That reliability doesn’t come from clever commands. It comes from a predictable training system that your dog understands.

Systems Create Stability

We’ve trained over 3,000 dogs. We don’t reinvent the wheel for each one.
We use systems that work every time because they’re built on how dogs actually learn.

Our methods are:

• simple enough to follow

• strong enough to hold up under distraction

• flexible enough to work for any breed

• proven enough to deliver real results

This is why we don’t obsess over “what to say.”
We focus on “how to communicate.”

That’s what gets results, in the real world, where your dog actually needs them.

Stop Searching for the Secret Cue

There is no one word that will fix your dog’s behavior.
There is no shortcut or cheat code.

But there is a system that works when you follow it.
And that’s exactly what we teach.
