YOU WORK AT BUILIDNG THIS RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOUR DOG SENSES YOUR LEADERSHIP, NOT A COMMAND BUT A RELATIONSHIP THAT YOUR DOG UNDERSTANDS THAT IT IS SAFE WITH YOU THAT RESPECTING YOU AND FOLLOWING YOUR LEAD IS ALWAYS IN ITS BEST INTEREST. YOUR CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU AND YOUR DOG CAN BE AS A TEAM AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES THAT ARE BEST FOR YOU BOTH. THAT "U" SHAPE IN THE LEAD TELLS THE STORY, THAT CONFIDENT WALK AND LOOK REVEALS THE REALITY OF WHAT IS OCCURING BETWEEN A HUMAN AND THEIR DOG. VIC IS WALKING THEM THROUGH THE FINAL TOUCHES OF THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT NO MATTER THE DISTRACTIONS IT IS THE TEAM (PACK) THAT MATTERS THE MOST. GREAT JOB GUYS! https://risenstarkennel.com/dog-training/

IT IS A DOG, YOUR DOG AND THERE ARE SO MANY "EXPERTS" BUT WE KNOW THIS IT IS YOUR DOG, IT IS A UNIQUE CREATURE, AND YOU EVERYONE OF YOU ARE UNIQUE HUMANS AND WHEN THE TWO OF YOU GET TOGETHER IT ULTIMATELY BECOMES A UNIQUE NEVER BEEN BEFORE RELATIONSHIP. ACCEPTING THAT AND UNDERSTANDING THAT MEANS THAT EVERY INTERACTION AND PATH TO CREATING A STRONG AND POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP NEEDS A DEFINED AND CUSTOMIZED APPROACH. DO YOU WANT A DOG THAT IS REACTING TO A TREAT OR REACTING TO YOU, DO YOU WANT A DOG THAT HAS A LEVEL OF STRESS WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO BE JERKING ON ITS LEASH WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING? MOST LIKELY YOU WANT A DOG THAT IS FOCUSED ON YOU, HAS FIGURED YOU OUT AS YOU HAVE FIGURED IT OUT AND IT WILL NOT PULL YOU DOWN THE STREET, WILL NOT JUMP ON YOU OR OTHERS COMFORTABLY WALKS BY OTHER DOGS AND MUCH MORE. WE WANT TO THANK OUR NEIGHBORS FROM HENDERSON AND LAS VEGAS NEVADA AND OF COURSE OUR LAUGHLIN NEIGHBORS FOR DRIVING THAT HOUR OR SO TO WORK WITH US OR FOR UTILIZING OUR IN-BOARD TRAINING SUPPORT SERVICES. https://risenstarkennel.com/dog-training/ COME OVER AND LET'S TALK WE CAN PROVIDE SOME SPECIFICS.

WE HAVE A GREAT TRAINING FACILITY AT RSK - 800 SQUARE FEET IN DOOR AND ALMOST 1500 SQUARE FEET OUTDOOR. WE ALWAYS START THERE UNLESS THE CLIENT PREFERS IN HOME TRAINING. ONCE YOU HAVE A SOLID RELATIONSHIP LEVEL AND YOUR DOG IS RESPONDING TO YOUR DIRECTION THE NEXT STEP IS TO WORK AT ASSURING THAT THE RELATIONSHIP IS SOLID IN VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTS. HERE VIC IS CHECKING THIS DOG OUT WITH ITS HUMAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN IT NEEDS TO STAY IN PLACE IT DOES JUST THAT. GOOD JOB GUYS!

YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR DOG, SUCH A SIMPLE STATEMENT AND YET MOST HUMANS IN A DOG'S LIFE ONLY HAVE A VERY SUPERFICIAL UNDERSTANDING OF THAT DOG THAT LIVES WITH THEM. THIS GSD HAS SHOWN GUARDING BEHAVIOR FOR FOOD, WAS PICKING AND CHOOSING WHEN TO REACT WITH DEFENSIVE RESPONSES AND YES HAS BITTEN PEOPLE. YET THE HUMANS HERE SPENT WEEKS ON THAT ONE THING GETTING TO KNOW THEIR DOG BETTER WORKING WITH THE RSK K9 BEHAVIOR TEAM TO DEVELOP WAYS TO REDIRECT THEIR DOGS FOCUS AND ENERGY AND IT IS ALREADY OBTAINING SOME POSITIVE RESULTS. DOES TEACHING A DOG TO SEARCH SOLVE EVERY BEHAVIOR PROBLEM, OF COURSE NOT, BUT WORKING ON OPTIONS AND FINDING WHAT THE RIGHT PATH IS FOR YOUR DOG TO EXPEND ENGERY, DEVELOP A PURPOSE AND DEVELOP SELF CONTROL AND MORE FOCUS ON THE HUMAN IN ITS LIFE WELL THAT IS ACTUALLY A PRIORITY OF BEING A HUMAN IN A DOG'S LIFE. MANY OF YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH LISA AND HER SKILLS AS A SCENT DOG INSTRUCTOR, WORKING TO IMPROVE THAT HUMAN DOG RELATIONSHIP IS THE RSK PRIORITY.

"ITS SHELBY AND LISA" ITS GOING TO BE SHELBY AND LISA FOR QUITE AWHILE AS LISA BEGINS WORK WITH SHELBY FOR SCENT DETECTION WORK. THE OBJECTIVE VAPING DETECTION. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOD3T4Q2WG0 SHELBY IS NEW TO THE RSK K9 BEHAVIOR AND TACTICAL TEAM BUT THE CONNECTION IS RIGHT THERE AS LISA IMMEDIATELY GETS TO WORK BUILDING HER RELATIONSHIP WITH WHAT WILL BE HER K9 SEARCH PARTNER. LISA WILL BE WORKING WITH SHELBY FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT GREAT THINGS ARE EXPECTED FROM THIS TEAM. https://risenstarkennel.com/ https://www.facebook.com/RisenStarKennel/

STEVE AND VIC (VIC IS BEHIND THE CAMERA) WORKING WITH DOGS PRESENTLY HOUSED AT BARC - BHC. TAKING THEM OUT FOR WALKS IS ONLY PART OF WHAT THEY DO AS THEY ARE CONSTANTLY EVALUATING AND LOOKING FOR BEHAVIOR ISSUES SO THESE DOGS CAN OBTAIN ANY BEHAVIOR SUPPORT NEEDED SO THEY CAN BE ADOPTED. WORKING WITH BARC - BHC MANAGEMENT AND STAFF THE FOCUS IS TO GET THEM OUT TO FAMILIES. REMINDER: ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ADOPT A DOG AND WOULD LIKE A MEMBER OF THE RSK K9 BEHAVIOR TEAM TO BE THERE WITH YOU TO ASSIST IN YOUR SELECTION, ADVISE THE BARC - BHC STAFF AND THEY WILL MAKE THOSE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOU. YOUR NEW FURRY FAMILY MEMBER IS WAITING FOR YOU AT THE SHELTER AND THE ASSISTANCE YOU NEED TO MAKE IT WORK IS THERE FOR YOU AS WELL.

WHEN YOUR DOG IS REACTIVE TO OTHER DOGS AND YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT OUT FOR A WALK THAT IS VERY FRUSTRATING FOR YOU AS THE HUMAN IN YOUR DOGS LIFE AND IT LIMITS WHERE YOU DOG CAN AND CANNOT GO. HERE VIC IS COMPLETING A WALK WITH A DOG THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY REACTIVE TO OTHER DOGS. YOU "LEAD" YOUR DOG TO NEW BEHAVIORS AND DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE PRESENT YOU DOG IS CLEAR ON WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE AND WHAT IS NOT. MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THIS PERSON IS FOCUSED ON BEING THE LEADER IN HER DOGS LIFE AND WITH A BIT MORE TIME AND LEADERSHIP THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE.

ALY AND THE GREAT TEAM AT BARC - BHC HAVE CREATED THIS K9 BEHAVIOR SUPPORT PROGRAM - NO COST K9 BEHAVIOR CONSULTING FOR THE COMMUNITY. THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ONE THURSDAY A MONTH AT BARC - BHC FACILITY BUT THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD TRY A SATURDAY FOR THOSE WHO DUE TO WORK OR OTHER REASONS COULD NOT MAKE A WEEKDAY SUPPORT SESSION. IT WAS A BUSY DAY WITH ALY - VIC - STEVE AND DAVID "WORKING THE ROOM." WITH VARIOUS DOGS SET IN 45 MINUTE TO ONE HOUR CONSULTING SESSIONS. THE GOAL: SUPPORT THE HUMANS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR DOGS BETTER AND LET'S KEEP THEM OUT OF THE SHELTER.

EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH ACTUALLY TAKING THE TIME TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE DOGS REALLY IS, HOW DOES IT SEE THE WORLD AND ONCE YOU HAVE THAT YOU CAN SET OBJECTIVES AND WORK TO BUILD A HUMAN DOG RELATIONSHIP THAT MEETS THOSE OBJECTIVES. AS MUCH AS OUR TEAM WORKS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THESE K9 BEHAVIOR CONSULTING SESSIONS AT BARC - BHC WE DEFINATELY LEARN MORE WITH EACH DOG, THEY ACTUALLY TEACH US.

STOP JUMPING - SIT STILL - DON'T PULL WELL WE STARTED WITH SIT STILL AND AS USUAL THIS GREAT "PUP" CAUGHT ON RIGHT AWAY.

WE SEE SO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES HERE EVERY DAY AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU MEET THE DOG YOU THINK THE HUMAN IS LUCKY AND SOMETIMES YOU MEET THE HUMAN AND YOU THINK THE DOG IS LUCKY. SOMETIMES IT IS BOTH. THIS DOG WAS HIGHLY REACTIVE EVERYWHERE WITH ANY MOTION BASED INTERACTION, THE MOVEMENT OF OTHER DOGS, OTHER PEOPLE THE DOG WOULD LUNGE, GROWL AND WOULD POSTURE TO BITE. THE HUMANS IN THIS DOGS LIFE WERE A BIT OLDER AND EVEN BASIC MOVEMENTS ON THEIR PART WERE PROBLEMATIC. EVERY HUMAN - DOG RELATIONSHIP IS UNIQUE, IT JUST IS, AND EVERY RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT PRTOCOL WE DEVELOP HAS TO UNDERSTAND THAT AS A CORE FACT AND RESPECT THE DOG AND THE HUMAN. THIS IS VIC WORKING WITH THE HUMAN AND DOG AFTER A MONTH OF BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION WORK, NO TREATS, NO JERKING OR PULLING AND NO ELECTRIC COLLAR. THERE ARE SOLUTIONS BUT THEY ARE NEVER A COOKIE CUTTER PROCESS. THIS DOG WILL NOW A LIFE, A GOOD ONE, WITH A LITTLE MORE TIME AND INTERACTIONS IT WILL BE A STABLE PARTNER IN LIFE FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN OUT THIS WAY, BUT WE ARE GRATEFUL TO SAY THAT IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CASES WE WORK, IT DOES. ONCE AGAIN, FOR ALL THOSE WHO TRUST US, THANK YOU. WE LEARN EVERYDAY, WE ENDEAVOR TO BE BETTER EVERYDAY. THE AFFECTION AND ATTATCHMENT HUMANS HAVE WITH THEIR DOG REQUIRES MORE THAN PROCESS BASED IDEAS AND FORMALIZED INTERACTIONS. https://risenstarkennel.com/dog-training/ https://risenstarkennel.com/dog-training/

YES, THIS IS PART OF THE RSK K9 BEHAVIOR AND TACTICAL TRAINING PROGRAM FOR A PUPPY. THE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING FOCUS BETWEEN HUMANS AND THEIR DOG CAN TAKE YOU TO AMAZING THINGS VERY QUICKLY WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR DOG SEES THE WORLD AND YOU ENGAGE WITH THEM WITH THAT PERSPECTIVE. A RELATIONSHIP BUILDING APPROACH PROVIDES YOU WITH A MUCH CALMER MORE FOCUSED DOG READY TO RESPOND TO WHAT IS EXPECTED. THIS HUMAN COUPLE WITH THEIR DOG ARE EVOLVING TO BE QUITE A TEAM, GREAT JOB GUYS. https://risenstarkennel.com/dog-training/

WORKING TO BUILD A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DOG HAS TO BEGIN AND END WITH YOUR STANDARDS OF HOW YOU WANT YOUR DOG TO LIVE WITH YOU. THAT IS NOT A "TRAINERS" DECISION IT IS YOUR DECISION. I DO NOT WANT MY DOG TO JUMP UP ON ME. I DO NOT WANT MY DOG TO JUMP ON OTHERS. I DO NOT WANT MY DOG TO GUARD FOOD OR ANYTHING ELSE I DO NOT WANT MY DOG TO BE AN EXCESSIVE BARKER I DO NOT WANT MY DOG TO PULL ME WHEN WE WALK I DO NOT WANT MY DOG TO RUN AT OTHER DOGS. EVERY HUMAN WITH A DOG HAS THEIR LIST, AND IT IS HOW THEY INDIVIDUALLY SEE WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE DOG TO BE PART OF THEIR SOCIAL CIRCLE, THEIR FAMILY, THEIR PACK. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO IS ASSISTING YOU WITH WORKING ON YOUR DOGS BEHAVIOR THAT THEY RESPECT BOTH YOU AND YOUR DOG AND THAT YOU ARE SETTING THE STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES. IN THIS INSTANCE THE DOG BOLTS OUT THE DOOR, OUT OF THAT PARTICULAR INTERACTION THAT SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR WAS STOPPED AND ALSO IT INCLUDED A PROCESS WHERE THE DOG WOULD SIT AND STAY. THAT ULTIAMTELY TRANSLATED TO OTHER IMPROVED INTERACTIONS WHERE THE HUMAN DOG RELATIONSHIP WAS STRENGTHENED WHICH PROVIDED THE BASIS FOR WALKING CALMY AND MUCH MORE. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR DOG OTHER THAN YOU, DO NOT GIVE THAT UP TO ANYONE. YOU MAY NEED SUPPORT TO IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DOG BUT THAT SHOULD NEVER TRANSLATE TO ANYONE TELLING YOU HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR DOG. https://risenstarkennel.com/

IT IS INTERESTING TO OBSERVE DOGS BEGIN TO EVOLVE TO AN ACTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE HUMAN HAS ASKED OF THEM. NOT A COMMAND BUT AN UNDERSTANDING. THERE IS THAT INITIAL LOOK FROM THEM WHERE THEY ARE CONFUSED AS THEY ARE NOT QUITE SURE. THEN WITH FOCUS, SOLID LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND PATIENCE YOU ALSO SEE HOW THE DOG BEGINS TO "GET IT" AND THEIR MINDSET EVOLVES AND BEFORE TOO LONG THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING TO THEIR HUMAN FOR WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING NEXT. https://risenstarkennel.com/dog-training/

YOURG DOG LIVES WITH YOU, YOU SET THE PACE AND THE STANDARD BY WHICH THEY WILL LIVE WITH YOU. THE IDEA THAT THERE IS SOME STANDARD STRUCTURE TO HUMAN - DOG RELATIONSHIP IS PROMOTED SIMPLY BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE INSTRUCTOR WHO CAN RECITE A SINGULAR FORMULA OR SINGULAR APPROACH TO EVERY SITUATION. EVERY HUMAN IS DIFFERENT SO EVERY DOG HAS TO ADAPT TO THEIR HUMAN, SOME OF US ARE A BIT FASTER SOME US NOT SO MUCH. ONE OF THE AMAZING THINGS ABOUT YOUR DOG, AND THERE ARE MANY IS THEIR ABILITY TO ADAPT TO YOU. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT WORK WITH A COOKIE CUTTER APPROACH, THAT YOU DEVELOP THE RELATIONSHIP THAT WORKS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG. THE LIFE OF A DOG IS MUCH EASIER WHEN THE EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS CONTINUES IN THEIR LIFE AND THEY EVOLVE TO BEING YOUR DOG, YOUR INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMIZED DOG.

THE CONCEPT THAT YOU WILL BE GIVING YOUR DOG "COMMANDS" IS NOT AN APPROACH WE RECOMMEND. TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DOG THAT YOU HAVE COMMMUNICATED WHAT YOU ARE ASKING OF YOUR DOG AND IT EVOLVES TO AN ACTUAL UNDERSTANDING THAT IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND. IF YOU WANT YOUR DOG TO REMAIN REGARDLESS OF ANY OUTSIDE STIMULUS OR CHANGE IN ITS SURROUNDINGS AND ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE THIS WITHOUT A SINGLE VERBAL INDICATOR ON YOUR PART YOU BEGIN TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR DOG SEES THE WORLD AND HOW IT SEES YOU. THIS DOG BY ITS SECOND SESSION WAS SHOWING VERY SOLID INDICATORS OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE HUMAN IN ITS LIFE WAS REQUESTING.

THE RSK GROOMING TEAM, THE BEST OF THE BEST NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THEIR SKILL SETS BUT THEIR PATIENCE AND GENUINE AFFECTION FOR THE FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS THEY PAMPER. https://risenstarkennel.com/grooming/

IT IS AFTER ALL YOUR LIFE, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR DOG. WHEN YOU STRUCTURE THAT HUMAN - DOG RELATIONSHIP IT HAS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP AND STRUCTURE THAT FITS YOUR LIFE, MEETS THE NEEDS OF YOUR FAMILY WHICH INCLUDES YOUR DOG. NO ONE, NOT ANY "DOG TRAINER" SHOULD SET OR DICTATE THAT STRUCTURE. WHAT IS NEEDED IS SUPPORT FOR THE HUMAN TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW A DOG SEES THE WORLD HOW IT COMMUNICATES SO THAT AN ACTUAL INTEGRATION OCCURS AND THERE IS HARMONY AND RESPECT BETWEEN THE DOG AND THE HUMAN.

MEETING WORKING WITH DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND THEIR DOGS EVERY MONTH MAKES OUR DAYS SPECIAL. MANY OF THOSE INTERACTIONS JUST BRIGHTEN THE DAY, AND SOME ARE DIFFICULT AS YOU WORK WITH SOME PEOPLE AND FAMLIES STRUGGLING TO KEEP THEIR DOG(S) BECAUSE THEY ARE KNOCKING DOWN AND HURTING THEIR CHILDREN OR A FRAIL MEMBER OF THEIR FAMILY. BITE CASES ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT AS AT TIMES THE LIFE OF THE DOG IS AT STAKE, AND THERE ARE SOME AMAZING HUMANS OUT THERE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO SAVE THEIR DOG, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO BE PART OF THAT EFFORT IN THOSE INSTANCES. IT IS NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT WE SAY AS SOME TYPE OF TAG LINE, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE TRUST EXTENDED TO US HERE AT RSK, WE ACTUALLY DO LEARN FROM EACH AND EVERY DOG. GWEN - VICTOR - STEVE - LISA - DAVID - WE DO KNOW ALLOT BUT NEVER FORGET THAT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO KNOW AND LEARN ABOUT THESE FOUR-LEGGED FURRY WONDERS THAT ALL OF YOU AND US CARE ABOUT SO VERY MUCH. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US.
