Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Buck Tavric and why should I trust his system?
Buck Tavric is a dog behavior specialist and training researcher who focuses on why dogs ignore commands under real world stress and distraction. His work is based on modern canine cognition, applied behavior science, and years of studying cases where traditional training methods failed.
Instead of relying on force, tools, or endless repetition, Buck Tavric’s approach centers on how a dog’s brain actually processes information when excited, overstimulated, or over threshold. His methods are designed to rebuild relevance, restore communication, and create reliable responses in everyday situations like walks, parks, and encounters with other dogs.
The Paws That Listen system was created for frustrated dog owners who love their dogs but need results that work outside the living room, not just theory.
Who is Paws That Listen for?
Paws That Listen by Paws That Listen is for dog owners who love their dog but feel ignored, embarrassed on walks, or overwhelmed by constant pulling, barking, and reactivity. It is especially helpful if commands work at home but completely fall apart outside or around distractions.
Is this only for aggressive or reactive dogs?
No. This system is designed for dogs who ignore commands, pull on leash, lunge, bark, freeze, or mentally check out under excitement or stress. Many dogs are friendly but still reactive on leash, and this program addresses that exact issue.
Will this work if I already tried positive reinforcement, trainers, or other programs?
Yes. This system was created specifically because those approaches often fail in real world situations. Paws That Listen focuses on how your dog’s brain processes information under stress, not just rewards or repetition.
Does this use force, punishment, or harsh tools?
No. There is no physical force, intimidation, or pain based training. You will learn how to get real compliance without pushing, pulling, yelling, or damaging your relationship with your dog.
How long does it take to see results?
Many owners notice changes within the first few days, especially improved focus and check ins. The core system is designed around a 14 day framework, with continued improvement over the following weeks as reliability increases.
Is this suitable for puppies and adult dogs?
Yes. The system works for adolescent dogs, adult dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with long standing habits. Bonus guides also cover adolescent behavior specifically.
What if my dog is extremely distracted or high energy?
That is exactly who this system is for. You will learn how to recognize threshold signals, intervene before meltdown, and teach your dog to think even when excited or overstimulated.
Do I need special equipment?
No. You do not need special collars, e collars, prong collars, or expensive gear. Everything can be done with basic tools you already have.
What if my dog ignores treats or only listens when I have food?
This program directly addresses that problem. You will learn how to remove food dependency and make your commands meaningful even without treats visible.
Is this a one time purchase?
Yes. There are no subscriptions, no hidden charges, and no future billing. You pay once and get lifetime access.
How do I access the system after purchase?
You get instant digital access immediately after checkout. You can start training the same day.
What if it does not work for my dog?
You are protected by a satisfaction guarantee. If you genuinely apply the system and feel it is not right for you, you are not stuck with it.
Is this a replacement for in person training?
Many owners use this instead of hiring another trainer. Others use it alongside professional help. Either way, it gives you a clear framework so you are no longer guessing what to do.
Will this help with leash pulling and lunging at other dogs?
Yes. Those are core problems the system is designed to solve, including dogs who are friendly off leash but reactive on leash.
