Does your dog only listen to you if they visually SEE the food in your hand?
Try this.

Downside of being self employed is that you don’t really have anyone to share wins with (and tbh my partner kinda is bored of all the “i sold a book updates”) so instead I will share them with you all! 🤣🤩

My 2026 goal is to sell at least 100 books including my Reactive Dog Owners Guide thats hopefully coming out in February!

Still struggling with a reactive dog? Here are 10 reasons why it might be happening:

1. You aren’t spending enough time where your dog is just calmly co-existing instead of playing with other dogs. Calm is training too.

2. Can your dog even walk on leash without pulling? If not, that’s step one before tackling everything else.

3. Someone told you corrections are bad and you just nodded along. Sorry, that advice is outdated.

4. You are using corrections… but they’re completely ineffective. Timing, consistency, and knowing your dog matter.

5. Your dog is a rescue and you’re stuck in their sob story. Yes, empathy is good. Enabling reactive behaviour isn’t.

6. You’ve been avoiding all triggers. Guess what? Avoidance won’t fix the reactivity.

7. You keep putting your dog in situations they aren’t ready for. You’re teaching frustration, not calm.

8. You’re not using the right equipment for YOUR dog. One size does not fit all.

9. You aren’t getting enough reps in. Dogs need practice in predictable ways to actually learn.

10. You have unrealistic expectations. Your dog is not going to be perfect overnight — and that’s okay.

The method works. The problem isn’t your dog. It’s skipping steps, avoiding the boring work, and expecting instant magic. Slow down, get consistent, and stop hunting for quick fixes. Your dog will thank you, and so will your sanity.

New year, new goals, right? Most people think about hitting the gym, eating better, or finally learning that new skill. But if you run group classes, your resolution could be simpler, smarter, and way more satisfying: run calmer, more engaging, stress-free classes.

Let’s face it. Every trainer has had a class that spiraled a little out of control. One overexcited puppy, one distracted adolescent, one owner who forgot the treats: suddenly you’re juggling chaos instead of teaching.

I can help with that!

This book gives you:
✔️ 30+ structured, plug-and-play games
✔️ Easy and harder versions for every skill level
✔️ Clear instructions so you can run games with zero prep
✔️ Ways to reset energy, refocus dogs, and keep clients engaged

It’s like a little cheat sheet for your classes, without actually cheating. No more awkward filler moments, no more staring at the clock hoping inspiration will strike. Just games that work, designed specifically for trainers like you.

Make 2026 the year your classes flow smoother, your clients stay happier, and you finally enjoy teaching without constantly improvising.

Game On! is available now — your first resolution of the year, checked off.

Does having a sports title define if you are a good dog trainer or not?

What do you think?

I ended up in a dog training discussion on reddit where someone said that if you can't be bothered to get at least ONE dog title (so novice) you are a charlatan and don't deserve to be a dog trainer.

When I asked how about trainers such as Tyler Muto, Sean Oshea, Training Between the Ears, Stephanie from Method K9, Larry Krohn... they're all very amazing dog trainers but aren't known for their titles in sport (I mean they may have some idk, but that's not their field).

No. They were also all charlatans because they haven't proven their skills in a standardized environment.

I said that was a very hot take. Would love to know what ya'll think!

🎄 Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I chewed your new slippers,
But I still love you too.

Cookies are tasty,
The tree smells divine,
I’ll be your good pup…
Most of the time.

I sniffed all the presents,
I sniffed under the tree,
I didn’t eat the wrapping,
(Okay… maybe just a wee.)

Merry Christmas, hoomans,
Let’s cuddle and play,
I’ll guard all the snacks,
And nap through the day! 🐾🎄

🎄 Merry Christmas from all of us at The Complete Canine! 🎄

Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with peace, laughter, and of course, plenty of cuddles from your four-legged friends. 🐾
