#itsubitsu the #chihuahua is the first to make friends and play with little (not so) Neo. #neothestafford
King Neo has been very much hated by #baitheblackmouthcur and #turbotheterrier (Toby).
His hard head Stafford self hasn’t seemed to greet a complex yet and certainly will help to have one friend between the three he sees often.
Itsu is a feisty girl and I often have to call her off the hold she gets on his ear- obviously great place to control.
Ensuring fair play on both sides for his #socialization is important. For him to have to defend himself could be detrimental in the long term - especially given his breed.
And he also needs to learn respect of others when they say “no”. These are very important parts of his #puppydevelopment stage.
#boundaries And #leadership are key for my boy at this time while having a clear understanding of #doglanguage to know what’s on and what’s not
To leave dogs to their own devices ## cause big issues! Responsible ownership and education are key.

MESSAGE - #happydogs 10 years of experience - 10years of thousands. 10years of to be educated by the teachers who matter most. DOGS themselves.
Don’t be tricked. To hate. To lose focus of what’s important.
Be better. No more anxiety, fear, unruly behaviours largely created by a complete absence of understanding your dogs reality.
“Behavioural issues” or dog doing doing dog. Most of 1000’s, dogs are dying or being medicated incorrectly for the ease of human lazy and for greed.

This little baby, 3 months looks like a little terror to most. Put your hand down and she goes into attack mode already. #fearful she needs to be advocated for not by #babying her. But actually by being a pillar. Showing her the world or things aren’t so bad. A big part of this is also stopping people touching her. Reaching for her. Picking her up etc. you break #trust. Also, continue to build the wrong behaviour. #dogs will build confidence quickly given the opportunity. Don’t #bubblewrap. Instead #leqd them through our #world and allow them to catch up. #dogs are smart. They are also dogs! #loveyourdog by realizing who they are and what they are saying. #learn #doglanguage. It cool. It’s simple. #communicating clearly with your dog is one of the biggest issues for dogs today.
Education is the most important aspect of dog ownership. I have many clients with kids and friends too. It’s our responsibility to help kids understand the difference a live animal vs their squishy toys. Dogs can not only be hurt but dogs can also hurt. No matter big or small, reach your kids to ask for permission! Teach what it looks like when the dog is over it, or when a dog is happy. Dogs do have teeth they may use to move kids / humans away. Let be more aware to be fair in our furry friends and keep your littles safe. #dogeducation #doglove #doglife #kids #kidsanddogs #awareness #fearfuldogs #bigdogs #smalldogs #dogrehab #dogtraining #advocateforyourdog

This guy was a disaster 4 weeks ago. Hating life, scared of his own shadow with no confidence in the right places.
Miles became confident in moving people by making quite the scene - scary, bucking bronco, alligator rolling, stress ball that would have bitten.
It’s the best when you take away all that stress, lead and find out who they really are. At 4 years, Miles has struggled to do life outside the house for more than half his life.
Now he gets to explore, be curious and trust again for more than double his life now. He gets to live and adventure with his family.
Did you see him and the fish?? It’s never too late message now 👊
NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU, SIR!

Cool lesson with rescue Breeda and new owner Brandie.
Brandie is not new to handling big dogs and is also all about horses. Makes a difference in handling experience when you’ve been leading horses and know the importance of leadership.
Brandie and Breeda are on the right path to success after Breeda was rescued only 2 months ago. At 5 years old Breeda doesn’t have a tonne of life experience.
So now Brandie has some new skills and better leadership Breeda will be able to relax and enjoy life a lot easier.
Message now for help with your pup.

Dogs don’t have to live in fear. 4 weeks miles will be walking through stores with his owners. Building confidence takes understanding that dogs are different to human in this.
In Kelowna for one more week - book your lesson now

Renè is not pressuring Miles by paying attention to him. Miles just gets to hang out and be around a man as well as all the weird noises of the digging etc. all this is typically quite tricky for miles.
You’ll see miles is looking to me for reassurance. The reassurance tho is me being a pillar and not buying into the insecurity. He’s fine, and he’ll learn so by my attitude also.
If I were to try make him feel better by a soft voice or treating the anxious mind we will get more of it.
He’s of course is not allowed to growl or act like Renè is a problem. And positive reinforcement is essential to teach what to do.
This will be done when he relaxes!!

In #kelowna building confidence with miles. I did a video previously talking about the stories we hold of our dogs past, thereby doing dogs a very big injustice.
In this video, regardless of miles’ story, regardless of fear and insecurity we are out and about watching the humans human. In this he gets to catch up.
This is his 3rd week training and in that we have a relationship. We’ve built trust and confidence in my leadership and so you can see a pretty relaxed miles.
I also have full control as he’s well versed in the #ecollar. He’s been through intense training learning the communication. This makes it fair, fear free. Consequence is important.

Hailey and Daniel! The #trust on the #parents behalf is super awesome. Thank you.
I caught Bai going in too fast on Hailey creating a teaching moment for all.
Teaching #kids how to give #treats to #baitheblackmouthcur
Bai can be a bit of a flighty boy at times. #ultimatecontrol is what keeps everyone safe on both sides.
These 2 did a stellar job at listening and following my lead. #leadership is what makes this a #success
#teaching these guys to lead is super fun and #rewarding. Building confidence and self control for Bai and creating new skills for the kids.
Thanks To Christina for videoing and capturing a cool teaching moment!

Miles has been on struggle at for a very long time. He’s nervous sometimes. Over confident in others. Generally an insecure needy fella.
Doing place with #baitheblackmouthcur is a great way to build his and see he’s ok.
I’m not going make a huge deal of it. Both treating him like nothing new is happening at the same time as advocating for him - stopping Bai obsession.
Miles is going great guns with heel, recall, sits, downs, place and stays all now on the ecollar.
Now he understands the communication- who’s doing, how to turn it off and why there’s no mistaking where it comes from and should he choose not to listen he understands there’s a consequence. The consequence is totally dependant on him, adrenaline, excitement, self reward and of course defiance.
Yes dogs will turn there back on you sometimes and test it the recourse. Every dog just like human has a different threshold.
As long as he knows what you’re asking for a correction while loading the “no” - making no mean something - most dogs are likely to come off it in most circumstances after two months. This really creates a solid foundation and ability to relax and enjoy each other. It’s not about turning it high for every situation. It’s based on choice according to them. This is what makes it a great tool!
Miles actually enjoys working his obedience and is giving up his control issues more everyday.
