Foundational Four Online Training Program
Elevate Your Dog’s Training. Level Up Your Knowledge.
The Foundational Four Program teaches essential commands—leave it, heel, recall, and place—that every dog needs to know. Regardless of your dog’s age, breed, or needs, these commands will improve your dog’s impulse control, heeling on leash, and ability to listen around distractions.
Step-By-Step Tutorials
This program includes step-by-step tutorials on how to teach and build each command to your dog. It will also include tips and directions for those moments you may feel like your dog isn’t “getting it”.
Transfer Training to Real Life
Transferring your dog’s training from sessions to real life can be a challenge. This program will provide deep-dive directions on exactly how to build your dog’s training to begin working around distractions.
Bonus Commands
While every dog should know the foundational commands, I wanted to also share commands that can elevate your dog’s training and apply an additional level of safety to their lives.

We recently completed the Foundational Four virtual program with Proper Paws Dog Training, and it was exactly what we needed. The course covered recall, leave it, heel, place, and additional commands—all in a way that was practical, easy to follow, and flexible to our pace. What really stood out was the quality of the video content. Each lesson was clearly explained, demonstrated with real-life examples, and even included troubleshooting tips for when things didn’t go perfectly (which they rarely do with dogs!). We especially appreciated that Taylor didn’t edit out the “mess-ups”—seeing those moments made the training feel honest and approachable, not just another overly polished program. Taylor has a gift for teaching—clear, encouraging, and super responsive to questions. Plus, having lifetime access to the videos means we can revisit any skill we need to reinforce as we go. If you’re looking for a dog training program that is effective, realistic, and genuinely supportive, I highly recommend Proper Paws and Taylor’s Foundational Four. It gave us the tools and confidence to keep moving forward in our training journey.
We have absolutely loved the online program! It’s very easy to understand and apply. We’re already seeing huge improvement with our standard poodle and no longer dreading walks since we have learned “heel”. Taylor goes above and beyond to help her clients, and it’s been a great experience working with her!
Our experience with Taylor has been absolutely amazing. Her Foundational Four program has been incredibly helpful for our two dogs. We’ve faced some challenges with reactivity and walking on a leash, but the “leave it” game and heel command have been so easy to teach thanks to this program. I’ve witnessed incredible changes in my dogs, not only through teaching them the commands but also by helping them grasp the underlying mindset. Taylor is a fantastic teacher who explains everything with great clarity in her videos. Additionally, we have taken some virtual sessions with her, and aside from being the nicest person, she has helped us understand as much as possible about how to address our dogs’ behaviors. Life with Tango and Jacinto has improved tremendously since we met Taylor online 🙂 I couldn’t be more thankful. I truly hope that anyone facing challenges with their dogs gets the opportunity to join this program, which incorporates choice-based training and games, so they can begin living their best life alongside their best friend. Thank you, Taylor!
