Picture it. Sicily. 1912....
JK - it was Buffalo. 2015. 🤣
I was standing outside with Bisha, the young, terrified, fear aggressive, black pit bull I had just brought home to rehab, praying to allllllllllllllllll the things holy that no car drives by long enough for her to finish going potty before getting startled - again.
See, every single time Bisha got startled, she either BIT or BOUNCED, and she was ALWAYS getting startled by some rando MFn thing.
We worked through alllll that, and she transformed into a confident and friendly pup.
Fast forward to about a year or so ago -
Bisha suddenly became ridiculously triggered by the sound the buckles of her harness made, and her reflex reverted back to, bite, or bounce.
My heart shattered into 87 bajillion pieces, and it utterly wrecked me, to the point I legit COULDNT bring myself to even work on it with her.
Until today!
When I woke up this AM, I vowed that today was the day we were gonna start changing how she feels about the clipping sound.
I'm not feeling the best - I have a wicked headache, BUT I made a promise, so...
I gather all the things I need, get my phone set up to record, and we are good to go.
👉 The first couple reps went off w/no probs.
That's when I f**ked up...
I moved too far into Bisha's space bubble to click the buckle and --- she BOUNCED!!
🤣 Bisha booked it around the first floor like she had, "I'm fast as f**k boi!" playing on a loop in her head, doing laps around me.
Legit the only thing I could do was sit there in my dumbf**kery, feeling like a dumbf**k, waiting for Bisha to be ready to try again.
Which she totally did, and was a total rockstar!
(👀 my stories to see us in action)
🎯 Moral of the story - errybody f**ks up.
ERRY.MFn.BODY, even professionals.
So...stop treating yourself like sh*t because you made a mistake with your dog!
Mmmmkay??
👉 Who else can relate to this? Lemme know 👇

Feeling spicy AF today, so buckle up!
Let's be real...
Erryone loves them a shortcut. A quick fix.
But, no.MFn.body ever wants to accept the consequences of taking that shortcut or choosing the quick fix.
Imma be blunt cuz that's how I roll...
👏QUICK👏FIXES👏ARE👏FOR👏SUCKERS👏
Are you a sucker?
Well, if you choose what's easy, over putting in the got damn work -
Survey says...
📢 YOU ARE A SUCKER!
And I have a river to sell you...🙄
👉 If you wanna keep wiping your ass with your $$$, AND not get lasting results with your dog -
go on ahead and hire another con artist.
Sh*t, I mean slick talking, guarantee making, shortcut taking, trainer.
BUT...
If you are ready to actually change sh*t, comment CHANGE below, and I'll DM you to chat about your choice to make actual progress.
XOXO

I want you to tell the ignorant pearl clutchers, any or all of the following:
🎯 STFU and keep it movin Karen/Chad.
🎯 Nobody asked you, Bitch!
🎯 Don't like em? Don't get one. Problem solved!
🎯 Your willful ignorance is WAY more dangerous than my dog!
🎯 My dog is a sweetheart. I'm a bajillion times more likely to rip your face off.
I am not delulu to the fact that some folks are afraid of my dogs.
That's 100% acceptable.
What's NOT acceptable, is being a hateful thundercunt who lets your mouth write checks yo ass can't cash, about sh*t that you have less than Z E R O first hand experience with.
Miss me with ALLLLLLL that bullsh*t!
Here's a lovely idea...
How bout we don't give our unsolicited opinions about sh*t we know nothing about???
That sounds absof**kinglutely fantastic to me.
👉 I would LOVE to hear from you on this, so...
Share your thoughts about responding to those who talk sh*t about bully breeds.

Let's unpack this, shall we??
For as long as I can remember, I have railed against injustice, prejudice, and ignorance.
Even as a small (but mighty AF) girl, I would raise holy hell over any perceived injustice.
See, I grew up in a REALLY bad neighborhood, and was poor as a MFr...
Like, for real for real!
I'm not just talkin about being on welfare, or having our lights cut off eleventy teen times...
I'm talkin:
🧀Government cheese - think Velveeta, but not.
🥛Government powdered milk - yep, is EXACTLY what it sounds like.
😫 Going to bed so hungry your stomach hurt.
These experiences helped shape my views on fair distribution of resources in a HUGE way.
On top of all that...
I was a white girl who lived in a predominantly black neighborhood & had lots of black friends.
To say that I saw and experienced the worst of people in power, and all of humanity is a complete f**king understatement!
I couldn't do much about any of this as a kid, but as a powerful AF, rebellious, unafraid, whole grown ass adult...
👉 there's LOTS I can do.
In a greedy, capitalist society like ours, we can best effect change by being super f**king choosy about where, how, and with whom we spend our money.
So...
I am choosing to NOT perpetuate the culture of exclusion the dog training accreditation agencies have created, by abstaining from getting my certification.
⚡️No, that doesn't mean I don't have the skills.
⚡️No, that doesn't make me incapable of providing the highest level behavior help.
⚡️No, that doesn't make me less than.
👉 What it DOES mean is that I value humanity and want to see ERRYBODY win!
❓️Are you pickin up what I'm puttin down?

Which team are you on?
🗣Team Verbal
or
🔘 Team Clicker
I used to be wholly on Team Verbal, but now I am a proud member of Team Clicker.
Simplicity, clarity, & consistency in how you communicate with your dog plays a ridiculously C R I T I C A L part in how they behave.
So...
If your dog's behavior isn't up to snuff, don't you dare blame them by saying they're being "bad", "stubborn", "dumb", etc!
Instead, check yo self!
❓️ How do you communicate what you want?
❓️ Is it crystal f**king clear?
❓️ Are you consistent with HOW you communicate, and WHAT it means?
❓️ Is it as simple as humanly possible?
My experience teaching this to hundreds of dog mamas tells me that you ABSOLUTELY have some big work to do here.
Your dog's "naughty" behavior will NEVER get better until YOU do YOUR part.
#isaidwhatisaid
On a scale of POTUS to Maya Angelou, where do you rate your ability to EFFECTIVELY communicate with your dog?
