Understanding Your Dog’s Body Language 🐾

Dogs are constantly communicating with us, but their “language” is often misunderstood. Paying attention to their body language helps us build trust, respond to their needs, and prevent unwanted behavior. Let’s break it down:

✨ Signs of Stress:
• Lip licking (when food isn’t involved)
• Yawning (when not tired)
• Ears pinned back or to the side
• Whale eye (when you see the whites of their eyes)
• Tail tucked or body lowered
These subtle signs mean your dog might be overwhelmed, scared, or uncomfortable. This isn’t always a sign that you should stop what you’re doing, but it is a sign to let them win, and work through it.

🚩 Signs of Aggression:
• Stiff body posture
• Direct, hard stare
• Lips curled or teeth showing
• Growling or snapping
These signs indicate a dog is warning you they’re unhappy or feeling threatened. Respect their space!

🤲 Signs of Submission:
• Rolling over to show their belly
• Cowering with their tail tucked
• Avoiding eye contact
• Licking your face or hands
These signals often mean they’re trying to show they’re not a threat.

🐶 Positive Body Language:
• Wagging tail (relaxed, wide wags—not stiff or high)
• Loose, wiggly body movement
• Soft eyes and relaxed ears
• Play bows (front end lowered, back end up—it’s an invitation to have fun!)

The key is observing the whole picture. A wagging tail doesn’t always mean a happy dog, and a yawn could mean they’re anxious. Look at their posture, eyes, ears, and mouth together to better understand what they’re saying.

When we learn their language, we can respond better—and that’s how strong bonds of mutual respect and understanding are built.

⬇️Why Consistency is Key in Your Training⬇️

💥When it comes to training, consistency is everything. Imagine teaching your dog a behavior or command and practicing it daily—they start to get the hang of it, build confidence, and respond eagerly. But, skip a few days or even weeks, and you’re likely to see some of that progress begin to slip.
➡️Let’s dive a little deeper into what happens when training isn’t consistent and why steady practice is essential for long-term success.

➡️Missing a Few Days:
If you miss a few days of training, you may not notice immediate changes in your dog’s behavior. However, dogs thrive on structure, and when that structure is interrupted, it can create confusion and hesitation. They may start to test boundaries, revert to old behaviors, or show signs of frustration. (Reminds you of kids, right?) Think of it like any new skill—without regular practice, we start to lose confidence and become unsure of our abilities. The same goes for your dog! A few days off can lead to slight setbacks, but with prompt return to the routine, you can usually get back on track quickly.

➡️Missing a Few Weeks:
When consistency is lost for weeks, the effects are going to get much more noticeable. At this point, your dog may begin to forget commands, lose the discipline they’ve developed, or start acting out. Bad habits, like jumping, pulling on the leash, or ignoring basic commands can creep back in. In some cases, especially with younger or high drive dogs, this lack of routine can result in them becoming more hyperactive, anxious, or even destructive. The investment you’ve put into training can start to unravel, making it feel like you’re back to square one.

💥💥💥Dogs don’t generalize well; they rely on patterns and repetition to learn effectively. Every time you train, you’re reinforcing positive habits, teaching boundaries, and building their confidence. When you stick with a daily routine, your dog learns faster, responds better, and enjoys the process more, making training sessions something they look forward to rather than something they fear.

🫶🏼Stay Consistent, Put in the work, and Keep it fun! 🫶🏼

🚨 Closed for PSA WORLDS Nov 4th-11th 🚨

Let’s wish these three amazing women good luck at the 2024 PSA World’s Competition.
This year we have 3 trainers competing and showing in ALL THREE LEVELS.

💣 Alishia & Rogue - PSA 3
🎤 Courtney & BANG - PSA 2
🐐 Tori & Anya - PSA 1

What a massive accomplishment it is to even title in PSA, much less stepping onto the field and competing at a worldwide event.

To say that we are proud of these 3 phenomenal teams is an understatement, so our entire team is closing down operations and heading to SC.

‼️Any boarding or academy reservations that have already been confirmed are still good to go! But we will not be accepting anymore.
➡️ Any inquiries, messages, voicemails, etc. will all be returned and answered on the 12th.

Thanks so much for everyone’s patience and LET’S GO KILL IT LADIES!! 🥳🎉

🎉Super proud of our October 2024 Puppy Kickstart graduates!

➡️Koa & Caddie are going to do some amazing things in their future.
Shout out to each of their parents for investing in their training and setting themselves up for the most success moving forward!
Committing 4 weeks to a program, following through with homework, and being open to learn and try new things is never easy but they rocked it!

Throughout these past 4 weeks these pups and handlers worked on things together like engagement, manners, sit, down, loose leash walking, heel position, place, and even duration and distance in behaviors.

Our first ever round of Puppy Kickstart puppies will graduate tonight. It is amazing to see how far not only dogs come but how much their handlers grow and learn over 4 weeks. It truly is rewarding to see you guys learn and grow with your pup. Whether that be during group lessons like Puppy Kickstart, private lessons or even during your academy lessons. Building that communication and bond between dog and handler is exactly why we are here.

We are currently working out dates for our upcoming group classes. Puppy Kickstart 2025, and Obedience 101 should start in the spring! We hope to see you there!

🗣️What is Balanced Dog Training?

✨SHORT ANSWER: EFFECTIVE.

✨LONG ANSWER: Keep Reading ⬇️

👉🏼Balanced dog training is an approach that uses multiple things to shape a dog’s behavior. It’s about finding the right balance between rewards and consequences to effectively communicate with your dog.

👉🏼At the heart of balanced training is the belief in the four quadrants of dog training: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment. Each quadrant serves a different purpose in teaching the dog what behaviors are desired and which ones are not. By understanding and applying these quadrants thoughtfully, we can create a well-rounded, highly effective training plan that is not only fair, but also humane.

👉🏼A core principal in balanced training is the idea to “train the dog in front of you.” This means recognizing that each dog is unique, with their own temperament, learning style, and needs. Every dog is different—what works for one may not work for another.

👉🏼In balanced training, we use positive reinforcement (treats, praise, or play) to teach and encourage good behaviors. Once the dog understands what’s expected, we introduce fair corrections to address unwanted behaviors. These corrections help reinforce clear boundaries and ensure that your dog understands the consequences of their actions.

👉🏼Balanced training is customizable to the individual dog, using a variety of tools and techniques tailored to their personality and goals. This method allows dogs to think, make choices, and learn from both positive and negative outcomes, making them more reliable and responsive.

👉🏼At Global K9 Protection Services, we believe balanced training builds a strong communication system between the dog and handler, creating a lasting, trusting relationship. It ensures your dog is not only well-behaved but also confident, well-adjusted, and ready to live a happy life at your side.

✨FREE TO A GOOD HOME✨
Remus and Scout🐾

🐾 We got Remus from a rescue organization about a month ago. He has since been socialized, put on some much needed weight, and is ready to find his forever home. He is a show-line German Shepherd and weighs approximately 68 pounds. He is submissive to other dogs, and playful. This boy is definitely a cuddle monster and only wants to love you.

🐾 We received Scout from a local rescue organization with the hopes of making him a service dog, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like he has the specific characteristics we needed. He would make someone an absolutely phenomenal pet. He is a Black Lab, approx. 9 months old and 45 pounds.

🐾 We’ve gotten both of these guys fully vaccinated and to a healthy weight. Now it’s time for us to find them a loving family to enjoy them as much as we have!

✨Meet Moose✨
This past summer Moose came to us for our 2 week on-leash program, and now he’s visiting with us again to continue work on fine tuning somethings like: duration on place, and especially “leave it” while he’s out hiking with his family.
This is exactly what we mean by “customized training.” Each thing we are working on this time with Moose, was specifically picked out by his family.

He’s heading back home in a couple days and we already can’t wait to see this big baby again. ♥️

🐺REMUS🐺NOW AVAILABLE🐺

✨About a month ago, we got Remus from a huge rescue organization who had over 20 show-line German Shepherds surrendered to them.

✨He was driven up to TN from out of state by some awesome volunteers. When they got to TN, we evaluated all of these babies and picked out the most social. Now that he’s looking and feeling better and put on some weight, Remus is free to a good home through us!

✨ We haven’t done much training with Remus other than exposure to a bunch of new things (as he was extremely scared and very timid,) adding on some much needed weight and care, crate training and potty training.

✨ Remus will be a very good dog for the right family, but this family must understand and have experience with dogs with previous trauma. He was pretty neglected before the rescue stepped in, and will require some work in different areas, but he is the absolute sweetest boy who only wants love. He is not (in our opinion) a true working dog, or a protection dog prospect.

✨If you are interested in this lovebug, please contact us! And tag anyone you know below to help get the word out! We would love to set up a meet and greet.

➡️As a handler, the number one command you need to have is a solid recall. Not sit. Not down. But a recall. This should be the strongest tool in your toolbox.✨1. Start by limiting distractions and have your dog on a long line so you still maintain control. If they are allowed to just run off, there is no training being done. Set them up for success from the very begining.✨2. Always keep a positive association with your recall. If someone was yelling and angry with you, how likely would you be to happily run up to them? My guess is not very. Use the rewards your dog finds valuable, not what you think is valuable. The dog gets to dictate what they hold value in.✨3. Always keep training. Consistency is truly the key here. Even more so than timing. Being consistent in your training will give you more positve outcomes and a better relationship with your dog. Even when you think you don’t need to work recalls, do it anyway. ✨4. Don’t over use your recall command. If your dog is highly distracted or not engaged with you in that moment, the last thing you want to do is use your command. Never set them up for faliure. Use your command when you know they have the best chance at following through, otherwise they learn that it is a suggestion instead of an order.📧 [email protected]📱(615)393-1477 ✈️ Providing Services Worldwide🇺🇸Veteran Owned🇺🇸🐾 ALL BREEDS & ALL AGES 🐾⭐️ Climate Controlled Buildings⭐️ Indoor training Building⭐️ Fenced in Play Areas🐕 PRIVATE & GROUP LESSONS🐕 DAY SCHOOL🐕 BITE CLUB 🐕 2/4/6 WEEK PUPPY BOARD & TRAIN🐕 ON & OFF LEASH BOARD & TRAIN🐕 BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION🐕 PROTECTION SALES & TRAINING🐕 DETECTION 🐕 CUSTOMIZED TRAINING#globalk9protectionservices #dogtraining #obediencetraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #puppytraining #nashville #middletn #dogtrainer #workingdogs #malinois #belgianmalinois #recall #recalltraining

🐾This has to be one of our most awaited videos.🎨Through some time and trial and error we’ve figured out what works best (for us anyway) with changing the color and painting our Ruffland crates. 👉🏼 We did our first set about 3 months ago, and they have held up extremely well.🚨Disclaimer: these are our travel crates for our van, so they get a lot of use, but don’t get thrown around. I probably wouldn’t recommend this for a crate that gets dirty often or is consistently moved. 📧 [email protected]📱(615)393-1477 ✈️ Providing Services Worldwide🇺🇸Veteran Owned🇺🇸🐾 ALL BREEDS & ALL AGES 🐾⭐️ Climate Controlled Buildings⭐️ Indoor training Building⭐️ Fenced in Play Areas🐕 PRIVATE & GROUP LESSONS🐕 DAY SCHOOL🐕 BITE CLUB 🐕 2/4/6 WEEK PUPPY BOARD & TRAIN🐕 ON & OFF LEASH BOARD & TRAIN🐕 BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION🐕 PROTECTION SALES & TRAINING🐕 DETECTION 🐕 CUSTOMIZED TRAINING#dogtraining #workingdogs #rufflandkennels #ruffland #dogtrainers #customkennels #tennessee #nashville #dogtrainerlife #sportdogs
