Scott Benes - The People Trainer for Dogs - Canine Behaviour Specialist The People Trainer for Dogs. All dogs have their own personalities and each is an individual. We lead, they follow. Stay calm and remain patient.

Each cause for various behaviours is different for each and every dog and each dog needs to be seen and conditioned individually to assure a positive change in behaviour. Our behaviours influence how our dogs conduct themselves in all situations. We, as leaders, need to exhibit a positive role for our canine companions and lead them down the path to a long, happy and healthy life. Some issues take

longer to develop and can end up damaging our relationship with our dog. Common behaviours such as possession and aggression towards people and other dogs can be accidentally instilled due to human behaviours. Without the awareness of our actions and their repercussions, we are unable to correct and abolish these misfit behaviours. With the addition of limitations and boundaries we can slowly alter undesirable behaviours and have a more calm and tolerable canine companion. Awareness, understanding, and patience are key elements to a healthy relationship with our confidant and companion. No dog is too old and we should never blame the breed. It is us, as canine handlers, which need to learn and evolve to better our canine pals. There are times where we find ourselves facing a scared or timid dog and end up feeling lost and helpless. There is hope for our dogs to gain confidence and self worth. How we handle these situations isn’t as easy as with humans, there are different ways of facing such emotions in dogs and they are very different from ours. With the proper guidance and coaching we can further understand the steps required for our companions to gain the confidence they need for daily life. Simple changes in our routine such as how we present ourselves and how we approach a situation can make all the difference. We don’t have to face a bad behaviour and feel lost anymore. Canine rehabilitation is a long process that takes a balance of mind and energy as well as structure, consistency, patience and understanding. Our behaviour will influence the behaviour of our dog. Love alone cannot rehabilitate a dog. If you have any questions or wish to book an appointment for an onsite consultation, please message me here or by email at [email protected]

Nothing like a good back scratch after a hard day's work.

Though most dogs would readily accept one, Freddy has overcome an exorbitant amount of anxiety to get to this point. It's hard to believe he only wanted to bite for any sort of contact.

One Proud Dog!

Freddy has come miles in his rehabilitation. Once fearful of everything, Freddy is now showing curiosity of other dogs and people. He's even figured out how to assure they'll leave he alone without the need to growl and bark.

Meet Freddy.

Freddy is recovering from Fear Aggression. It's been only 4 sessions since meeting him. Since then, I have very rarely been able to move near him, needless to say touch him, without him trying to bite me. In this video you can see Freddy working though his thoughts and managing his reactions to the best of his ability.

We're so proud of you Freddy! 👏

A Family United!

This is why I will never quit, no matter how hard it can get. This family has NEVER had their 3 dogs together in a communal space without a potential for harm. Now they can all sit together and enjoy the outdoors. It has been 13 years! I'm so very happy for them!

My heart is always so full when I am helping animals. There is nothing more precious.

Helping Jack and his family was a fun and endearing experience. I am honored to have been given the opportunity to help them.

FYI, the human treats were delicious!! I had no issue sitting for these! 🙃😁

Who else's fault could it be? 😅

In the Pursuit of Serenity.

No matter how challenging something may be, never quit. We all make mistakes that may make us feel like we're failing—but those aren’t failures. They're stepping stones. If you're trying, you're already succeeding, even if it’s in the smallest way. True failure only comes when we choose to give up.

Stay strong. Stay determined. You've got this!

The breed itself doesn’t determine everything—it’s how well we understand and accommodate a dog’s individual traits that truly matters.

Serenity is a Belgian Malinois and Siberian Husky mix, a combination of breeds known for high energy, intelligence, independence, and a strong working drive. Her traits, both the impressive and the challenging, are well-established and predictable with these breeds.

Meeting her physical and mental needs is absolutely essential to keeping her balanced and well-behaved. When those needs aren’t met, some of her less desirable behaviors tend to surface. It’s really a case of management—she can be an absolute angel when fulfilled, but if left bored or under-stimulated, she can be quite the little demon.

She's always been incredibly athletic and energetic, traits she’s held onto well into her adult years. Now at six years old, she still moves like she did as a young pup—fast, powerful, and full of drive.

Serenity is a clear example of how breed-specific traits must be acknowledged and intentionally managed. With appropriate outlets and consistent structure, even the most intense working breeds can excel in a balanced lifestyle.

Meeting your dog's needs may not exactly be what you expect.

Stella LOVES to run and be competitive. She enjoys getting to run and chase. There's nothing more exhilarating for her. Turns out, mountain biking is her newfound glory. She hit a top speed of 23.5kph and kept pace for 1.9km with an average speed of 8.8kph! She's a warrior!

A Life Given to the Dogs

All dogs have their own personalities and each is an individual.
