I’m so happy to say Ziggy has finished is training program!!! This is not the end only the beginning of something new! Marcia and Ziggy have come so far in the time we have been working together. Ziggy started off being afraid of any people and loud noises. Now, is able to go into stores and be excited for life. All thanks to his owner Marcia putting in the work to recreate their relationship. That is what this is all about. The relationship you have with your dogs.

I’m so excited! I got to host and lead my very first group class! Though it was just the 4 of us more are on the way for next week! Thanks to Ziggy and his mom for coming out and enjoying the heat during this pro social way of introducing dogs. Pack walks are so vital if you want to properly introduce a dog to one another. The two boys did perfect and would you guess they both have reactivity issues!?!? When you are calm, cool, and collected and have the intent in your mind that you got this the dogs will understand and be more at ease.

This writing was done by one of my mentors and teachers in dog training. I could not agree more with his words.

You need to take this to heart. If you have dogs, are a handler, a trainer, a groomer, a Vet, it is not about tools, techniques, methods, books, etc. It just isn’t all of that BS. Period. It is about YOU!

If you aren’t willing to put in the work on yourself, none of the rest of it matters. If you do not study the subject (the dog and EVERYTHING about dogs), and every possible aspect, nothing you do or how you do it will be as effective as it could be. Yes, it takes going beyond your comfort zone, all the time. It is hard, long and sometimes tedious work. No one becomes an “expert” overnight, or in 10 years. Maybe in 50 years of doing something, IF you haven’t bought into your own marketing hype.

What is knowledge without skill? What is skill without understanding and getting actual feedback (having the knowledge and understanding of the subject (dogs) to correctly receive feedback)?

What do all of these elements have in common? YOU! It is YOU that must change. Not in getting “harder” at being you (ego). But in realizing more about nature and to stop fighting with it to mold it into what you want. Nature has its own rhythm, pace, beauty, communication, form, time. Stop trying to crush it to your will. Learn what it is. Be willing to be humble. I see few that are.

It is you that must change. And that is the most difficult thing.

What a wonderful moment to capture. This was at the end of our 2nd session. Ziggy the 13 year old terrier mix with his owner Marcia. I had just introduced them to the game of “follow the dog” the object of this game is to just follow your dog and do what they do. This picture was taken right after Marcia bent over and started sniffing the bushes where Ziggy was sniffing. As you can see, Ziggy was more the pleased to have his mom join him in his world. Do activities with your dog that THEY find important. Your relationship and love will grow exponentially. I promise you that!
