Let’s talk about the importance of leadership.

In the pictures below, what do you see?

👂🏼 I see dogs LISTENING to a “sit, stay” command.
✋🏼I see dogs WAITING for their handlers to release them.
❓I see dogs waiting for GUIDANCE.
🫸🏼I see dogs RESPECTING their handlers space.

And… I see handlers that are using their body language to say “what’s behind me is mine. Listen to me and I’ll share it with you… in a controlled manner.”

Ultimately, I see dogs that are being led to a new environment by handlers that are calm and in control. Before entering a new space, the dogs are already gearing their focus to their handlers - seeking guidance, expectations, and boundaries🔎. Dogs often don’t know how to manage new environments. It is up to YOU as their LEADER to show them.

For more info on body language, read the caption for each photo.

Reggie’s (or Reginald as I called him’s) number is UP!

He sure is handsome but does he ever like to pull. He is a lovely temperament and definitely not a mean bone in his body, but his pure love for life could get him into trouble one day if he pulls to the wrong place or the wrong pup at the wrong time.

Dogs need direction and when they are pulling it tells me the value of the world around them is greater than the value of the relationship they have with the person on the end of the lead.

Sure they love you, but they listen when they feel like it.

In order to satisfy a dog’s soul, you need to do more than just love them and dote on them unconditionally.

You need to provide structure and rules and you need to emulate the energy that captures and maintains the dog’s attention and respect.

Need help? I got ya.

If you know anything about Corgi’s, it’s that they are very smart but can have trouble focusing on their person when things around them are MOVING!

Bug! Bike! Person! Leaf! …CarRrrR!!
…Ooooh what’s that’s delicious looking garbage over there!? Must. Have!!! Numnumnum! 😂😬

They tend to pull a lot-especially when young- and unfortunately many people never curb this problem.

For your dog’s safety it is imperative that you focus on teaching proper walking technique. And that starts as soon as you get them.

Willow here did remarkably well today. She learns so fast. Can’t wait to see the improvements by the time we meet again soon

Does your dog’s hyperactivity embarrass you in public?

Can you actually walk your dog with control or are they dragging you around like a lunatic?

Can your dog listen to commands when distracted?

Will your dog come back to you when you call it - and not the 50th time - the first??

If you are having trouble with any of these big ticket items, you should consider taking The General.

Let me show you how to command the presence and deliver the essence of the title. 🫡

There is a new series starting this Thursday at 8 pm.

I met Jax and Cindy a couple months ago and we began working on doorway conditioning since I am a firm believer that he or she who controls the entryway is the one who is the boss.

We made great progress there and then began working on walking outdoors.

He has a history of pretty decent reactivity and would stand up on his hind legs barking and would be very difficult to get back under control.

Here we are after our first walk together. He passed several dogs with minimal reactions and I think it’s obvious that he is feeling pretty good about it. Look at that goofy grin

Awesome work, team!

This sweet lil pupper just found her forever family and am I ever glad that they listened to me and waited to get the right dog for them.

I had spoken to this family many times and cautioned them against buying from a certain place.

They reaaaaallly wanted a puppy - like yesterday- and I told them their patience would pay off if they could just wait and walk away from the deposit they had given elsewhere .

They waited and we discussed different breeds and they didn’t even end up with the breed they had thought of because it wasn’t the right fit for their life.

This little darling is just so sweet. They are very happy with her and she’s been a breeze to work with so far.

So happy for you little Rosie. You’re gonna have a great life!

If need help assessing your life and choosing a puppy, please don’t be shy to reach out.

Could save you a lot of hassle and heartbreak

This pretty girl had her second session with me today in centennial park and the change I saw in just a month or so is crazy.

Previously she was unable to walk in heel in the presence of any distractions and her people couldn’t control her when dogs came onto the scene.

Today we walked with my own two dogs (damnit I should have taken pictures -RRGH! Can’t do it all! Can’t do it all! 😂) with no lunging, no barking and minor signs of alerting and interest.

She was able to sit and lay calmly around both my dogs and offered avoidant and neutral body language.

Awesome work, Frannie!

Looking forward to our next steps as we build a solid recall to give her more freedom to play and run.

💥🐾👊❤️

Ben got to take a walk on the wild side this afternoon and he did such a good job!

He doesn’t get out in public places like this because his mom is a little anxious about his strong reactions.

We spent some time exploring with a long line and worked on teaching him when he is expected to walk in heel vs when he is allowed to be free and experience the world around him.

Do you let your dog sniff and experience things on walks ?

Did you know that restricting a stressed out or anxious dog will only make things worse. You’ll end up just correcting them and being mad yourself. Sound fun? Not for me.

Bring a long line. You can switch back and forth to the short lead or you can dole the long lead out as you see fit.

What you’ll find is if you let them explore an area a bit so long as it’s safe to do so, they’ll end up walking right beside you after they acclimate to the new space.

Great work. This was an extremely productive walk for Ben, who is often reactive to people and dogs….and I think smile on the client says it all🐾❤️👊

What⁉️

A chocolate lab puppy sitting attentively at the door? With a guest on the door step… with the door open…? and NOT JUMPING, bolting or going haywire!???

Huh? 🤔 How did that happen!?! 😮

By conditioning, that’s how.

Want the same results!? Easy. Link it up 👇

I’ve been getting a LOT of Frenchie’s lately as clients.

People don’t realize how strong willed these dogs can be.

They’re not a joke to own. Yes they’re very sweet and loving dogs but they don’t mess around and can be very difficult to manage.

These two are learning to be the best dogs they can be by working on manners and listening skills.

Do your dogs know who’s in charge? If not, you better start showing them. And that doesn’t mean being a tyrant. It means taking the time to show them what you want.

Do you know how? Do you know what exercises to focus on?

No? Reach out.

I do.

This is Elton.

He has a problem with other dogs and has been redirecting onto the other dog in his family.

That means he gets overstimulated about the dogs he is viewing and redirects his frustration onto the closest target he can find and bites them.

Today was his first session.

We accomplished so much. Stay tuned for more progress reports.

If your dog is redirecting onto other animals or you, please get help. It’s dangerous and can get out of hand.

The Double Down is a state of relaxation where the dog finally lays their head down to rest. When we capture / shape this behaviour and mark it, we are acknowledging that restful state and reinforcing the state of being. Dogs are smart and will learn to do what is the most fulfilling or them. If you pay well, they will lay well and will CHOOSE the calm over the chaos.

GooOooOd morning everyone.

Hope you’re enjoying this sunny day. ☀️

I want you all to purposefully and intentionally get your dog to relax in either a sit or a down on an elevated surface today for as long as you can manage. This will work to develop impulse control and body awareness.

A good goal would be 1 minute to start depending on size and stability the surface.

Post pics below!

Good luck and happy training ❤️🐾

Parking lots are awesome places to work your dogs. It’s basically an all u can eat buffet for trigger training. There are cars, kids, people, motorbikes, other dogs. You name it- I bet you’ll find it there.

Here we are practicing waiting, being released on command, going to place and just basically taking it in and ignoring it.

We need more practice but as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. And being consistent about it gets rock solid results.

Next time you’re with your dog and you park somewhere, get out and train for while.

Have fun!
