I don’t believe it’s the trainer’s job to ensure results or to achieve results. 😱😱😱What I mean by that is I wholly think that it’s the trainer’s job to educate, teach skills and techniques, and provide the owner with all of the information they would need in order to achieve the goals that they want but ultimately it’s the owner’s responsibility to ensure that those goals are achieved. Not what you expected? Fast forward to 26:42 in the episode to hear me explain why I think this 😊.In this episode of the My K9 Coach podcast, host K9 Coach Dana dives deep into what it really means to be a dog trainer and asked around to hear what other trainers and owners thought about this question 🤔New episodes drop every month covering all things dog trainer so owners like you can have the relationship with your dog that you’ve always wanted.

Unintentionally, we train our dogs to pull.
It’s a tale as old as time and it’s why so many of my clients want help with their walk.
Once that tension is felt, our dogs are convinced that the way to make it go away is by powering through it to their desired destination.
It’s not their fault they pull because that’s what we’ve taught them to do…
And it’s not our fault either because you only know, what you know at the time. 🤷🏼♀️
You didn’t set out to teach your dog to pull.
Quite the opposite I’d bet!
So if walking your dog is a workout💪🏻, take a listen to this episode.

I’m working on this so I can also teach Loki to bark AT something.
Right now his bark command is to bark at me.
I’m working on teaching him to focus on something else so I can use that to train him to bark at things I cue him to.
This is a clip from our 3rd session.
He understands what I’m asking for but gets distracted when I move around or when he hears other things.
Every time his eyes come off the target I say “eh-eh” to let him know that’s an error and to correct his mistake.
When he focuses back on the target I say “nice” to let him know he’s doing it right and to keep it up.
I release to the target to help him stay focused on it rather than coming back to me for a reward.
My next step is to work on my movement behind him, teaching him that it doesn’t matter what I’m doing. He just needs to keep his focus.
More to come! Hope you enjoyed watching!

Nothing makes me happier than when Loki prefers to stay engaged with me vs the world.
Having him connected with me while the world carries on is one of the greatest feelings I get the experience.
I took it for granted when we had Koda. I had no idea how rare it is to have a dog that chooses you over everything else.
Koda was incredible like that. We’d go to a dog park and he wouldn’t give the other dogs a first glance. All he wanted was to play and work with me.
Loki is showing me more moments like that and I’m feeling so blessed. 🫶🏻💙🤘🏻
Teaching Loki to bark lesson 7
Now I’m adding the cue, since he’s reliably barking every time.
I’m also asking for more barks out of him. He only gets rewarded for two in a row and on the final one he, without hesitation barked 3 times so I jackpotted him with the rest of the food and we ended the lesson.
Dog training can be as simple as that. This is the entire video of the lesson. Took just over 30 seconds. If you have 30 seconds, you can train your dog.
