I honestly couldn’t big my boy KOBA up any more if I tried 👌🔥🔥🔥

He is literally the perfect dog and I just hope that he roughly stays himself as his hormones will be changing through this period with him now being 10 months old with increasing testosterone levels which can bring about new behaviours 💯💯

This is another area that is overlooked when folks buy that cute little Male pup and let him meet every single dog he meets forgetting that he is going to grow up and may change and become more territorial, dominant, reactive etc….. it makes life so much easier and safer if your dog grows up literally ignoring every dog out there in my opinion👌

Think ahead, plan ahead 💯💯

⚡️⚡️ THATS SHOCKING BRO ⚡️⚡️

I said to KOBA that we might use him to do an Ecollar tutorial since he’s never worn one…. This was his reaction 😜🤣🤣

Now I’m going to be using an Ecollar to actually build drive, build urgency, build intensity in KOBA…… I’m going to be using it to enhance and bring out the inner psycho 😈..…. But this is where it can go wrong for a lot of people that buy one as they are overly marketed as ‘giving your dog the perfect freedom’ then your thinking you just strap a collar on and recall your dog, but just like most things in the dog world, ‘Timing is Key’ for the desired outcome.

Don’t ruin your dog, don’t buy a cheap collar and strap it on thinking it’s a quick fix and keep cranking up the levels because your dog isn’t recalling to you…. It’s not at all appropriate in that sense, but it can be a quick fix if done right ….. so if you are set on getting one, it’s not rocket science, the collar does the work for you really, so watch a few YouTube videos, do a bit of reading, ask a trainer/multiple trainers some advice, before strapping a collar on that could potentially ruin your dog mentally and/or make some behaviours worse.

It’s still happening KOBA 🤣🤣🤣

All tools in my opinion are fine if used correctly, it’s lack of knowledge and ability that causes issues. KOBA is thee absolute perfect dog, so obviously I wouldn’t even think about putting an Ecollar on him if I seen it as a negative for him.

I’ll talk about TACOS Ecollar experience in another post and why timing matters…. He’s never worn one since I got him but did in his previous home which in my opinion had a negative outcome 💯💯.

🥰🥰 CUTE LITTLE PUPPIES 🥰🥰

With Christmas just around the corner there is going to be the massive influx of pups that arrive not because they are being bought with the logic that it’s the right time for a family dog, but because they are ‘So Cute’ and will make little HELGA so happy on Christmas morning that she forgets that all she wanted for Christmas was her 2 front teeth 🦷🦷🎅

Then comes the sentence ‘Powderpuff junior is yours so you better look after her’….. which literally translates to ‘you better play with the puppy constantly’. So now the kid that doesn’t know how to look after itself now has a dog that ‘they better look after’.

As time goes on, the dog has learned all its bad habits, the parents shout at the kids ‘it’s your dog, your supposed to look after her’….. the kids lose more and more interest because this now adult dog isn’t the cute puppy any more but stil jumps on all the furniture, chews the slippers that was funny at 8 weeks old, jumps up on everyone and even brings tears when it’s overly long claws are now scratching everyone’s legs but she can’t get her claws clipped because she won’t let anyone near etc etc etc

Now powederpuff is nothing but a burden, she needs training, but training costs money and then comes the sentence ‘she’s just out of control, and we’re too busy for this…. It’s best if we rehome her’.

Now at this point, most dogs aren’t rehomed simply because you don’t have the space/time for a dog….. they are being rehomed because you don’t have the time/patience for the absolute mountain of annoying behaviours….. the behaviours that were all cute and wonderful when powederpuff was a puppy and relied on you for guidance, but now pays the price for your lack of guidance.

I guarantee if every single person had a well trained dog, there would be minimal dogs being rehomed….. it’s not THE DOG you don’t want, it’s the BEHAVIOUR that you don’t want.

So if there are puppies coming this year, do the right thing, spend the time, create structure and yes have puppy fun, but structured puppy fun.

The easiest way to think about it(especially if you have a large breed) is ‘Will this behaviour be acceptable as an adult dog’??

A 60kg dog jumping on people
A 60kg dog barking at people
A 60kg dog running into the kids
A 60kg dog pulling the leash
A 60kg dog with guarding issues

These are all things you’ll see in a puppy…. when strangers come over to see the puppy and it’s all cute when they bend down and the puppy jumps all over them licking their face, or when the kids are playing and the puppy is growling when the kids lay down next to them on the floor….. this is all cute, until it’s not cute, and the XL Bully’s can be mentioned at this point. You’ve seen how wrong all of that went.

No matter the breed, put in the time at the start and have a lifetime of enjoyment 💯💯….. or ask Santa to bring a goldfish.

💥💥 BIG REACTIVE KOBA 💥💥

KOBA’s owner got in touch because he is seriously reactive and in her words “goes from zero to ten in an instant”. She said that even just the smell of another dog would set him off…..

So anyways I said, that’s cool, I’ll come take him out n see what’s what 👌

I took an empty van so that I could spend some time with him myself before I brought any dogs into the mix. His owner asked if I would muzzle him, and my reply was ‘do you?’….. yes a muzzle can make things a bit safer for a handler but on the flipside I could cause him more stress and increase the reactivity if it’s not a normal day to day piece of equipment that he wears….. he doesn’t normally wear one, so I chanced my arm 🤣🤣, and just had to hope he didn’t redirect 🤷‍♂️😬.

He has never been handled my a man, never been taken away from his owners, and never been in a van.

His owners came out to see if he’d go in the van(he wasn’t getting an option anyway 🤷‍♂️😂) and as he hesitated(I spoke to his owners about this next part when I returned) I gave him some leash pressure and clear commands to get in….. whereas his owners went to start the same as most owners do with “it’s ok… it’s ok….” Etc but I already had him in the van and in the crate with his leash off. His owners then said they didn’t think he would go in and my reply “don’t give them time to think”….. fear is a mindset, sometimes you just need to keep momentum going and before you know it your passed what you were about to fear…. And when a dog does it once, then it’s easy 💯💯.

We went to my Gym and this is where I got to see KOBA…. Just your typical nervey Corso, he was totally unsure, didn’t want to go near things like this platform in the pic(never mind sit on it) so we just done some confidence building in the Gym and had him climbing over benches and platforms.

I could tell straight away that his reactivity is most likely fear based just by seeing his mannerisms within the environment. We can definitely improve and have a positive impact on his reactivity just by building more confidence in general.

I called my son up and said that I’m bringing the Corso through so bring one of my bully’s out as I need to see how bad this reactivity is.

And tbh, it’s a lot for any handler, he is really fixated and explosive with it and obviously carrying Corso weight and strength to back up his tantrum…. and this is where I’m like ‘here comes the correction, let’s see how well he takes it’…. Might not have an arm after this 🤣🤣🤣.

After a quick correction you could see he was looking to see where NOVA went but it wasn’t a ‘billy big bawz’ type stance, he looks totally anxious looking around. I got my son to walk in front of us back to the house and had no reaction with him only being like 15ft in front with my bully.

I put him back in the van and then thought I may aswell put my own KOBA in to see how bad it gets seeing each other through crates….. there was not a peep all the way back to Livingston👌

Today was just a session for me to figure him out and see what I’m working with, so hopefully we can help calm his nerves and get him looking a bit more respectable in public to those that don’t understand reactivity….. I absolute hate hearing the word ‘AGGRESSIVE’ with dogs as a truly ‘AGGRESSIVE’ dog is few and far between, KOBA just makes a scene as he literally just wants his own space.

He’s a proper Nice big lump of a boy 🔥🔥

Late night bits with my boy at the unit 🔥🔥🔥

He’s getting more and more like MAVIS the more time we spend together, if I ask him to do something…. He does it…. And if at first he don’t succeed he’s got the determination to keep trying 💯💯…. just like the MANIAC.

💥💥 KOBA the Corso 💥💥

My own boy KOBA wasn’t impressed when I said he needs to stay in the house because I’m picking up another KOBA who seriously doesn’t like dogs so no other dog can be in the van….

I took big KOBA to dog heaven to show him that I’m literally GOD 🤣 and that I have a full building filled with rewards if he shows me what I need to see 💯💯

Like A GOD.
