And now this frenchie also claims the couch as well as his owner, before I did this clip he did nip me the very first time I sat on the couch, ouch! But that was only a warning from him to me making a clear statement that no one is to be near what he owns ( the owner, or shall I say his lower rank ) so let's outrank him and claim the couch back and his owner.

Another Frenchie doing what they do best! 🐶💪
When it comes to hoovering or mopping, these little characters are always on the case — chasing, ripping, shaking, and trying their best to “defeat” the cleaning tools!

Desensitising this behaviour can be quite a challenge, as French Bulldogs are known for being strong-willed and a little defensive. But with patience, consistency, and the right approach, we got there in the end. 🙌

Check him out! 👇

🔔 TIP OF THE MONTH 🔔

Training doesn’t just happen on the field — it starts at home.
Regular baths, brushing, even touching your dog’s paws or ears all build tolerance and trust.

When a dog learns to stay calm for grooming, they’re learning the same patience and self-control that carries into training.
It’s not about looking good (though that’s a bonus) — it’s about building structure in every part of their life.

Small daily habits = big results in behaviour.

One serious dog !. No wonder these owners don't get enough visitors.

Just check out how he hits the screen door hard enough to show you ... no way you are entering my house!.

This Bull Arab believe it or not isn't aggressive he is territorial as when you take him outside he is completely a different dog !. Infant based on my assessment this pooch suffers from fear aggression !.

So let's start with some calm boundaries with the leash on then progressively of the leash !.

Watch the difference once I assess the state of mind the dog is in and the capability of the owner how I can change the scary behaviour into a calmer submissive pooch who must understand on association that the hallway now is out of boundaries it's not his to own or protect but rather the owners!.

Another young muscle breed with responsible for ensuring that this giant breed ( Boerboel ) doesn't end up a wild child in his teens or they are going to have one huge problem trying to control his behaviour, so by implementing my puppy education program and training in my k9 bootcamp he should end up one of the sweetest and gentleness of the giant breeds the Boerboel.

Bootcamp isn’t just about commands — it’s about control in real life.
Dogs holding a stay side-by-side, distractions around, no chaos.

Structure creates calm. Calm builds confidence.
And that’s what training is all about.

This border like many other collies has a very high chase drive as many others would say or predict it's prey drive!.

What's the difference???. Prey drive is a pursuit of a chase and often kill when caught, chase drive is similar but with a high-pitched impulse to react to a quickly moving object, or animal but without killing it!. (Chase)
So this BC obviously has a high chase drive as you can see with the scooter and especially cars the faster the movement of an object the higher the drive to chase ( Impulse).

Watch the difference within the lesson on how I can turn off the chase drive much quicker than a prey drive dog as prey drives in a predator is much harder to control, as it's a natural drive for survival ( kill) .

Happy to say this BC chase drive is now at 10 to 15% rather than it was at 100% now it's up to the owner to continue the method that I taught her to control and eventually stop his high chase drive.

John.

Be nice, be kind and be safe.

It's certainly been a Rottweiler year for me so far as I've never attended to so many Rottweiler behavioural issues this year!.

These breeds are dead serious breeds! So when getting one you'd better be dead serious about how you're going to raise them because when you start treating them like cabbage dolls, no rules, no boundaries and no structure with non-stop unicorn kisses and treating them like humans you will suffer with the consequences of the real Rottweiler when he or she is an adult !.

You can see this Rottweiler bitch is always ready to take a cheap shot at anyone who gets too close to her so let's challenge her tough girl attitude with a few rules and boundaries that she's never seen or known of to turn her into a more gentle pooch than she was, just look at her face in the second clip calm, happier and none threatening.

As I keep advising owners who would like muscle dogs you'd better muscle up first by engaging and teaching rules and boundaries with a lot of training.

Cheers.. John.

Training isn’t just about the hard work.
It’s about trust — in yourself and in your dog.
It’s about building that connection where they look to you for guidance, and you’ve got the confidence to lead.

That’s what we’re building every session. 💪🐾
