😍Ocianna's Story 🐾
"I absolutely love ALL animals, and always have! I started volunteering at the animal shelter over a year ago playing with them, creating enrichment activities, doggy days out, clicker training as well as basic commands! My rescue dog DaLuca, 4yrs old; pit mix. Around the age of 2 became extremely aggressive due to a set of unfortunate, uncontrollable events at the time.
It was then my passion to help him & others like him began!
Diving head first into the world of dog training & canine behavior helped me make a difference in his life!
Getting training doesn’t mean you “failed” at being a dog parent. It means that you recognize that you & your dog needs help navigating some scary behaviors.

That’s what I am encouraged & passionate about!"

Preach 🙌

Small dogs can have a really tough time of it. Because they are small they are not always respected and listened to as much as larger breeds. Is it then any wonder that they become scared and vocal about their fear and wish to be left alone?

💯 Spot on!

Okay, so this is a word that gets an awful lot of play in the training world, and it’s definition has come to mean an awful lot of things. Many of which, are incredibly counter-productive, if not downright dangerous.

So let’s see if we can’t clarify a few things.

Socialization isn’t:
-About letting your dog freely interact with dogs at the dog park, day care, or with friends dogs.
-About allowing your dog to meet other dogs on-leash.
-About allowing all manner of people, in all manner of mental/emotional states interact/pet/pressure your dog.
-About exposing your dog to the sights and sounds of cars, buses, motorcycles, bikes, skateboards, joggers...and allowing them to freak out, panic, aggress, hide, bark etc.
-About exposing your dog to the sights and sounds of dogs, cats, and other animals, and allowing them to freak out, aggress, lunge, bark, growl etc.

Socialization is:
-About teaching your dog the proper responses to dogs. What is and isn’t appropriate behavior, and correcting the unwanted when it appears.
-About teaching your dog to walk by the barking, lunging dog(s) on walks and ignore them, completely. Correcting if necessary to achieve this result.
-About advocating for your dog and ensuring people aren’t allowed to pressure your dog, by touching, crouching down, attempting “kisses” etc. That means being a big boy or girl, and stopping others from engaging in unwanted, uninvited interactions.
-About exposing your dog to all manner of daily life “things” and ensuring a proper response. If aggression/arousal is present, it’s corrected, if fear/arousal is present (and causes an overreaction/fleeing etc.) it’s corrected. Ask your dog to learn to ignore and not care about these “life” distractions/concerns/temptations. Teach them to listen to the training, not the world around them.
-About teaching your dog to leave other creatures alone. The cat, the bird, the cow, the goat, the other dog, is simply none of their business. If they decide those things are their business, it’s your job to correct and clarify what is and isn’t their business for them.

Socialization has become a ridiculously simplified, dumbed down, all-encompassing idea. Free interaction and exposure have been presented as a panacea, the magic gateway to a balanced dog. That’s a whole lot of B.S. you’ve been sold, by a lot of people full of B.S. 🙂

Socialization is all about teaching your dog how to behave and exist in the world...properly. People have a belief that only interactions create a well socialized dog. They don’t understand that existence is almost always preferable, and more valuable than actual interaction. Yes exposure is critical, but exposure without 100% clear guidance, and corrections for poor choices, isn’t socialization, it’s chaos, and it’s not teaching your dog what’s right, what’s wrong, and that you’ll keep them safe, so they don’t have to.

A well socialized dog isn’t fazed by the world around them. And that doesn’t come from simple exposure and interactions without guidance. Ironically, that’s precisely how you create anti-social dogs.

Think on that for a minute.

🐾MEET TUCKER 🐾

Tucker, a 3-year-old Labrador previously assessed as untrainable due to human aggression, has undergone a comprehensive evaluation revealing protective, territorial, and human aggression tendencies. His transformation into a confident and secure canine is eagerly anticipated over the coming weeks.

Welcome to the Pack Tucker and Rachel!!

😍MEET THIS HANDSOME STUD MUFFIN, Beau or Beauregard, 3yrs Goldendoodle

Welcome to the pack buddy!
Beau was trained previously by another trainer. He did learn some basic obedience while he was there but the owner wasn't given any training on how to handle some inappropriate behaviors.
Which Snowballed the inappropriate behaviors to where they are today. Like Excessive jumping, pulling, so distracted & stranger anxiety.

Beau is here for his 2 week Complete Refresher Obedience BNT.
