Too good not to share. 💗

I believe that as a trainer, it is easy to overlook things and sometimes we too need to be reminded to slow down and there is so much to learn about dog training. There are so many different ways to get things down and different perspectives on how to get results.

Usually, this pack is anxiously waiting and whining with anticipation for their name to get called to do their stunt training for their moms shows.

We did one virtual session and in just two weeks of applying their homework, this is the results so far.

Do you hear that?
Peace. Quiet. Relaxed energy until it’s time to do the fun activities.

If you have a dog who is struggling to relax in a crate or on their bed between fun activities, comment DOG to get a consult today!

Another proud moment to share for this DIY service dog client. We have been training and now it’s time for her to do public outings on her own. These are the moments that pay off in the end. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Service dog training isn’t just about training the dog. It’s about coaching the owner on how to work as a team with their dog.

A service dog is not a robot. DIY Service dog training can be a lot more challenging.

Why?

A Dogs behavior is determined by the handlers experience and confidence to lead the way in giving clear directions on what is expected when the dog is at work.

If you are looking for coaching to DIY service dog training, comment DOG for a consult and let’s get started!

Let’s talk about it it….

It is a topic that is so commonly misdiagnosed. So often misdiagnosed that it is incredibly rare and almost to the point of non exhistant.

Why would I say that?

What is aggression? This is when a dog is overwhelmed about a stressful situation and begins to shifts into defense drive.

What is defense drive?

Defense drive is when a dog goes into a state of mind where they are triggered into fight, flight or avoidance in order to remove stressful stimulus.

What is a stimulus?

Well some obvious stimulus would be:

“My dog hates hats, fast moments, putting your face into the dogs face, oncoming dogs, barking dogs or men.”

When it comes to diagnosing “RAGE SYNDROME” , there are so many silent or not so obvious stimulus than can put a dog into defense drive.

Let’s give an example of a human who goes into defense….

Let’s say someone survives a house fire.
3 years later, they could be relaxing and watching a movie while their partner is cooking. The slightest smell of smoke when someone else is cooking on the other side of the home, can cause for the fire survivor to jump off the couch and search for the source of the smoke. This same person would put out the tiniest flame in fear that things could’ve escalated if not done fast.

Their natural fight or flight response can kick into gear when the smell of smoke has triggered them into taking action to remove whatever is possibly creating a dangerous situation.

Now let’s translate this to dogs.

A dog can jump out of its sleep if he smells something that represents a memory of a traumatic experience. Like a human with PTSD.

Let’s say that someone with a particular odor accidentally fell onto a sleeping dog who had a wounded leg.

Now, This persons odor = suddenly have to defend itself.

Now let’s imagine that dog sleeping after this event. Suddenly, it jumps out of its sleep and attacks whoever it spots first when the odor of that person who fell on him enters the room.

Now At first glance, this dog lunging after anyone when it was “unprovoked” and was sleeping is often labeled as a neurological issue or RAGE SYNDROME.

Dig deeper and it’s usually an emotional response to PTSD.

When people say that the dog is attacking “out of nowhere” and “totally unprovoked”, let’s keep in mind that not all triggers are obvious.

Again. The brain can develop a learned response to smell, sounds, energies, movements, tools, touch and more.

Teaching a dog to run away from rattlesnakes is a good example of training a dog to go into defense at the sight, movement, and sound of rattlesnake.

A dog can develop an emotional response to receiving baby talk that can trigger a dog into high level “uncontrollable” excitement or anxiety.

Dogs can learn how to respond to stress on their own and although the owner hasn’t abused their dog intentionally, PTSD can develop and often, it leads to misdiagnosed RAGE SYNDROME.

Medication cannot fix an emotional response to PTSD. Medication CAN help while the dog is being shown how to respond to triggers.

Not all triggers are apparent but more so than none, it takes someone willing to slow down and look for tiny things that are pushing a dog to go into defense drive.

For an expert evaluation, contact us and we will find the underlying triggers and create a rehab program that focusses on emotion and trigger reshaping.

Please do not attempt to solve a dog’s aggressive behavior without experienced handler advice. If improperly diagnosed, the dog’s condition can progressively get worse with age as well as develop more triggers with an inexperienced handler over time.

Q& A with the pack

When I got to the DPC…. I sat from the road zooming in and wondering what this spot up here was and how they got up that high? During lunch, Cesar said,” I’m taking her to the temple!” Then it occurred to me that I was being shown what was to come prior to him mentioning it. That morning I had recorded,” what is that? How do they get up there?” So when Cesar said,” We are going to the temple.” I was instantly reminded that God listens to everything that we ask of him. I am so grateful that I am being shown that everything happens for a reason. The good…. The horrendous events that can happen “To” us…. To get connected instinctively to the energy that navigates through and around us takes constant work to slow down and pay attention to the signs around us at all times. The dogs continue to be the tool that keeps me where I’m meant to be. Feeling so grateful. 🙏🏼💗

Kirby is finally ready to begin his service dog public training in grocery stores and higher level distraction’s. We made a short trip inside to grab a quick lunch and he got many compliments along the way. People didn’t believe that it was his first time in the grocery store. Way to go Kirby!
