Most of the time, they’re just aggressive because they’re insecure and scared. Yeah, because it’s not like these dogs have ulterior motives or were born evil or anything! People look past them because they’re so intimidating, but it’s really not their fault.

Leverette spoke to The Times about why thoughtful dog training is more important than ever - and how thinking like a dog might help you withstand the rest of the pandemic. Like “Queer Eye” and “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo,” the series, premiering Wednesday, is easy to watch and emotionally satisfying, as Leverette’s best lessons can apply to both pets and people. Throughout the season’s six episodes, the 37-year-old Oakland native also helps each dog owner with their own behavioral changes. And no being, no matter how big a “problem” they may seem, is beyond saving.ĭirected by Elise Duran, “Canine Intervention” is unlike any other dog training series to date. Success is a result of knowledge and discipline. In Netflix’s new docuseries “Canine Intervention,” Jas Leverette - a Bay Area dog trainer whose clients include basketball player Steph Curry, comedian Kevin Hart, boxer Andre Berto and football player Marshawn Lynch - shares the foundational principles of his business.
