You remember what a pattern is right? A, B, A, B, A, B.
Things that repeat themselves. Start looking for the patterns your dog is following around the behaviors that you don't like. You might be a better detective than you thought!
Go get the Crystal Clear Canine Communication Blueprint from the Profile. It'll make creating those new patterns super EASY!

Rules and boundaries allow your dog to learn how to follow rules and because they know how to follow your rules and guidance, they listen better and you can give them more because they're better behaved.
Did you know I have in-person and virtual training programs for puppies and adult dogs? Onpointdogtraining.com

You're only going to be able to progress in your training as fast as your dog is continually comfortable with things. Knowing that your dog isn't comfortable with things is what will help you in these situations.
Tell me, would you like me to do some videos on dog body language?

Your dog is a blank slate when they first come to you. Don't expect too much too soon and take the time to introduce anything and everything to the. I promise it'll pay off in the long run!
Go Download The Blueprint! I promise it'll change how you interact with your dog!

When progressing with a behavior, move in small incremental steps, and don't be a greedy trainer. Your dog wants what you have. Use that to your advantage!

**TRIGGER WARNING**
You never want your dog to feel uncomfortable or stressed, but you not helping them to get past the things that caused them that trauma are keeping them in their trauma.
Yes, it can feel good to take care of and comfort your dog when they need it, but be honest, would you feel better if you stayed in your trauma and didn't make progress towards getting over it, or would you stay stuck in the trauma pattern and remain a victim of it?

Start looking for the patterns your dog is displaying before any unwanted behaviors. The faster you can break the pattern, the faster you can get rid of those behaviors.
Download the Crystal Clear Canine Communication Blueprint to make breaking those patterns SOOOOOOOOOO much easier!!!! It's in the profile!

Dogs are so much smarter than we give them credit for!
They don't need you to repeat yourself a hundred times to understand you and they don't need you to do a hundred repetitions of each behavior they know to make sure that they know how to do it.
They do need your help learning how to generalize things but keep things at a quicker pace. I promise your dog is learning a lot in a short amount of time!
05/04/2024
You don't have to be a slave driver to your dog...
But you do have to have standards for them if you want to be able to rely on them as a member of the family you can trust to do what they're supposed to do.
05/03/2024
Teach your dog what their command words are in sign language so you don't have to repeat yourself and you can even talk to them without saying a word!
05/02/2024
Our dogs are master manipulators! They're not trying to get away with everything but they like what they like and they want that above all else. They've also tried as hard as they could to find the loopholes and grey areas so they won't get in trouble while getting the things they want.
No one is calling your dog a butthead, but they're tricky little buggers that will try and get away with whatever they can :)
05/01/2024
Think of your dog as a blank slate when you bring them home. Let them know everything you want from them and they'll become the dog of your dreams!
04/30/2024
Dogs Need Consequences Like They Need Air!
Consequences don't have to be "mean" or "bad". They just have to be impactful enough to allow your dog to evaluate the situation and make the decision that they don't want to repeat that event because they didn't like the consequences.

Top 5 Things Not To Do With Your Dog While Training
There are so many things that you can keep in mind when you're working with your dog but if you can think of the things NOT to do, that might make it just a bit easier.
1. Don't repeat yourself
2. Let your dog screw up
3. Don't expect too much too soon
4. Be clear about what your expectations are with your dog
5. Make sure you're using words that allow those expectations to be as clear as you possibly can be
The list is endless because every training journey is going to be different with every dog. The most important thing is to enjoy the process and build that relationship!
04/28/2024
Regardless of the reason your dog isn't listening, there is a way to get rid of the behavior. You just have to be ready to take the first step toward change.
Ready to make that change?

Unwanted dog behaviors happen when our dogs don't know what things we would rather have them do, or when our dogs are allowed to make their own rules around what's acceptable. From Frustrate to Fabulous Workshop is happening 5/23. You're not going to want to miss this!
04/26/2024
Getting our dogs to listen isn't difficult, it's just different than what we're currently doing which is what makes it seem scary. I promise you that when you take the steps to get your dog to listen, you will both be happier because you're enjoying each other more. That's what we all want to be able to do with our dogs 🐶🐾💖
04/23/2024
Does your dog enjoy bath time? It's not always easy but find ways to make it enjoyable for them. Maybe a treat after the shampoo or maybe a special toy after drying off. We know it's good for them but not everyone enjoys the water😁 Download the communication Blueprint in the profile to get telling your dog what you want them to do down pat!
04/22/2024
Just like we don't forget the things that are meaningful to us, our dogs don't do that either. It may take a periodic reminder but let your dog know how important it is for them to listen.
04/20/2024
Our dogs weren't made to acclimate easily to this world. Having grace with them and knowing that they didn't choose to want to do the unwanted things, and with yourself: you don't know what you don't know and you can't be expected to solve every problem. And just a reminder: You got this awesome dog parent🐶🐾💖

Teaching your dog to use their own self-control is a skill that will help you and your dog. This world can be foreign to your dog and telling them to leave things alone is for their safety and well-being. It will also give you trust and pride in your dog as you move through the world together.

Be honest: What's the one thing you wish your dog wouldn't do?
Maybe the jumping has gotten to be too much since your dog gained 40 pounds and can now knock you over.
Maybe the barking out the window at random things has frayed your nerves just one too many times.
Or maybe your pup getting into things and stealing food off of the counter has you wanting to call in for reinforcements.
Your dog is choosing to do those things. There's no outside force MAKING them do those bad behaviors.
So let's help your dog learn to STOP doing those things!
I know taking care of that unwanted behavior is at the top of your to-do list. At the From Frustrating To Fabulous Workshop, we're going to cover all the steps to do just that!
Reverse engineer those bad behaviors to ones you're ok with. Take back control of your dog and house with 4 simple little steps.
All of this for just for $11!
The Workshop is happening February 22nd at 5p CST
What are you waiting for?!?

The Resources in the From Frustrating To Fabulous Workshop are outstanding. At least 10X the investment of the Workshop Itself. That is all 😁🐶🐾

There are a million and one tools out there to help you train your dog. Leashes, collars, clickers, treats, your body, timing. The list could go on and on.
The one constant thing though is the dog. The dog is always there regardless of what tool you're using.
Help the dog master the behaviors and the tools become irrelevant.

Here's the question: Do you really want to know how ot fix your dog's problem?
It sounds like such a simple question doesn't it.
"Kim, YES, of course!" is normally the answer....
But when it comes time to come to the event or start doing the work, things just seem to pop up that get in the way.
Maybe you''re afraid to f**k up your dog. YOu're afraid you'r going to do something wrong and not get the results you want. You don't want to feel like a failure and you don't want to make things worse with your pup.
Or maybe it's not a big enoguht priority YOu know it drives you crazy. You know your dog doesn't like getting yelled at. But in the current moment you're in, it's not happening and just not that important.
The truth though is that once that bad behavior starts, it's not going to spontaneously stop.
You have to have boundaries for yourself and for your dog where any level of crap isn't acceptable.
Another truth is that any work that you do ith your dog is successful.
Every.Single. F**king.Interaction.
You're never a failure when you try, and continually put one foot in front of the other.
It goes doubly when you have a bad ass expert in your corner keeping you dead center on that path to your goal as well.
Keep moving forward awesome dog parent! You got this

This girl knew EXACTLY what she was doing! Not 5 seconds before I told my daughter to start filming, she was touching the right sie EVERY time! The personality I swear!
