Hey there—welcome to CPR Canine!

 

Whether you’re just getting started, working through behavior challenges, or preparing your dog for something bigger (like service or therapy work), you’re in the right place. This app is here to support you with structure, compassion, and clear next steps.

 

We believe training should feel good—for both of you.

 

Before we jump into sessions, challenges, or custom tracks, let’s take a moment to get aligned with your goals, your dog’s needs, and your ideal path forward.

 

 

What to Expect:

You’ll answer a few quick questions about your dog, your goals, and your challenges

We’ll use your answers to guide you to the training path that fits you best

No pressure—this is just your first step toward a calmer, more connected life with your dog

 

Select Your Tracks

What Are Tracks?

Think of Tracks as focused training journeys — each one guiding you through a specific goal, intention, or transformation.

 

 

Each track in the Calm & Confident Series is designed to support both ends of the leash. That means we’re not just teaching dogs new skills — we’re also helping you grow as a calm, confident, and connected handler.

 

 

Every track includes:

 

Weekly Focuses to guide your energy and training

Step-by-step exercises for real-life success

Reflection prompts to check in with your mindset

Progress tracking to celebrate your growth

 

 

You’ll move at your own pace, return to any section anytime, and build sustainable habits that make training feel grounded and intentional — not overwhelming or rushed.

 

This is your space to slow down, connect deeper, and grow together.

Ian Klingshirn
Owner & Head Trainer | CPR Canine Training LLC

Hey, I’m Ian—owner of CPR Canine and a lifelong student of dog behavior.

My journey with dogs started in the Marine Corps, where I served as a Military Police K9 Handler in Okinawa, Japan. That’s where I really learned how to work with dogs on a deeper level—building trust, focus, and purpose. I later took on the role of Military Working Dog Trainer for the Department of Defense in San Antonio, TX, helping prepare dogs for specialized missions.

These days, I’ve shifted gears from military dogs to companion dogs—and I bring everything I’ve learned with me. Through CPR Canine, I help people like you train their dogs using a calm, patient, and respectful approach that actually strengthens your bond. Whether you’re dealing with behavior issues, starting fresh with a puppy, or training a service or therapy dog, I’m here to support your journey.

I’m currently expanding my certifications to work more closely with service and therapy dog teams, especially those supporting people with disabilities. It’s a path I’m passionate about, and it’s one more way I get to help dogs do what they do best—change lives.

If you’re here, you’re ready to build something great with your dog—and I’d be honored to help you get there.

The Name Game – 3 Steps

Step 1: Say Their Name, Wait for Eye Contact

Say your dog’s name once in a clear, upbeat tone. When they look at you—even for a split second—mark it with “Yes!” and reward.

 

Step 2: Repeat 5x

Practice this five times, rewarding calm, focused attention each time.

 

Step 3: Bonus Round

Wait until your dog is slightly distracted. Say their name again. When they look at you, celebrate big! You’re teaching that checking in = awesome things.

Nice work! You just completed your first training challenge. That’s a huge step.

Your dog is learning to focus. You’re learning to lead. And it all starts with showing up—like you just did
