We had a great session with Hayes and his mom yesterday ... working on all of our reactivity and basic obedience skills down at the park..
During that time, I also had the opportunity to catch up with her father, a friend and a great guy that I've known since grade school.
-It was great to see you my friend ,and i'm so thankful for this opportunity to help everyone live their best lives together.

Everybody here has the leadership, consistency, and dedication that it's going to take to make this a successful transition .. Awesome job guys keep up the good work- now the fun begins!!

One of the very best things an owner can get out of high quality training is a clear insight as to what their dogs are truly capable of.

Great trainers can leverage the right tools, training, and mindset to find answers that many owners would otherwise not find on their own. And even though it’s only a piece of the solution—knowing what is and isn’t possible—is an awfully important piece.

Once an owner sees what is possible, then it is up to them (with the guidance of their trainer) to become the equal of their goals and challenges with their dog. This almost always includes immense amounts of mental, emotional, and physical effort. Skills have to be learned, new ways of thinking and acting have to be developed, and lifestyle needs to be adjusted.

Of course this is a tall order. In the same way that most everyone would love to be in great shape, be financially abundant, and have great relationships with friends and family… these accomplishment all require great effort, great sacrifice, and longterm discipline and commitment.

And because we all know how us humans are wired—instant gratification with longterm costs almost always beat out delayed gratification with longterm benefits—we find most humans know precisely what’s needed, but find that cost simply too high to pay.

So when we proclaim how much we desire to transform our dogs and their behavior, it’s best, if we want to avoid appearing foolish and hypocritical, that we first examine how much of ourselves and our behavior that we’re truly willing to transform.

Said another way, don’t complain about the results you didn’t get from the actions you didn’t take. The results are waiting for you, but only come when you’ve become their equal. ❤️

We've got a house full over the weekend!!
Leti and Baloo are back for a brief stay in the board and refresh program...
That gives us a great opportunity to incorporate them into some training with Hayes and Charli in the house.... putting them on rotation between their downs and the bed...working impulse control, desensitizing them to new dogs ..and new things like the vacuum, mop etc...
Great job everybody!!
