Barking is a stressful event for our dogs. Period.

The truth is that our dogs barking is caused by the dopamine hits they get when they do bark.

This is why the barking at the things outside the window starts small but gets bigger and louder over time.

This is why your dog randomly started barking at nothing outside.

They’re looking for things to bark at that will give them the dopamine hits.

The way to break the dopamine addition is to get your dog clear headed and listening rather than chasing their dopamine addition.

You do this by helping them learn to focus and react to the commands you give them.

You do this by giving them something else to put their attention on, making that other trigger seem meaningless.

99% of your dogs bad behavior is because of what’s going on between their ears.

It’s all the chemicals and hormones happening in their brains:

You have Dopamine, Adrenaline, and then there are the patterns they become fixated with that bring those things to them.

Most dog trainers say they’ll fix the behaviors because that’s what you say you want.

Yes, they should fix those behaviors, but they should also address the crazy going on between their ears that cause the bad behaviors too.

That’s been my plan along: To help as many people as possible by helping you rewire your dogs brain (in a good way😁)

I know your breath catches and your heart slips Andre beats when you see that other dog on your walks….

It’s hard not to take it personally or get SUPER embarrassed when your amazing dog decides to act a fool.

Believe me I know 🤦‍♀️

But I’ve learned over the years that our dogs are reacting to their emotions that start in their head.

They’re not thinking about your feelings or you being embarrassed.

They’re thinking and acting for THEMSELVES, for their own reasons.

The more that you can detach your emotions from your dog getting out of control, the easier it is to take action and get them out of the situation

Rather than get freaked out yourself.

I used to get so embarrassed when my 100 # German Shepherd started barking at another dog,

Feeling like I had a spotlight on me and my failures.

Now, if that happens, I look at it as her doing something that started in her head. Not from me.

Comment CALM to learn how to calm the crazy in your head, as well as your dog’s 🐶🐾💖

The universe told me that if your dog knows so many of the things that they love and find positive (like to treats, love and scratches, and going outside to play😁) come through you,

Your dog will be MORE MOTIVATED to listen to you 🤯🤯🤯

So this means that you reward your dog with the things they love,

They’re more likely to listen, and their behavior and self-control gets BETER because of it!

There’s too much to put in one caption! Comment SECRET and I’ll send over the resource I made that teaches you everything!!!! 😁🐶🐾💖

Your dog still explained even though you’ve tried treats, commands, and a calm voice. Nothing has really worked so far.

To get through to your dog, you need to do something that cuts through the voice roaring in their brain telling them to bark like crazy.

WARNING: What I’m about to tell you isn’t done by dog trainers because they don’t know about it, not because it doesn’t work.

If I had to keep only one tool to help my reactive dog, THIS ISNIT!!!

The solution is called “BRIDGING”.

It’s a sound you make that gives your dog something to focus on other than that “stupid dog that clearly wants to kill me” (according to your dog) in front of them.

Every reactive or anxious dog I’ve used this with has calmed down 100x faster when using this.

I didn’t plan on sharing this bc it does against traditional dog training but it’s too damn good not to share.

I’m making a free tutorial showing you how to do it. Comment BRIDGE so I can send you the video once it’s created.

This is going to be so good!!!

When you respond to your dog’s incorrect movement or action in the moment, they learn what NOT TO DO so much faster!!

That impressive Corvette looks and sounds the way it does because there was intention and integrity in its creation. The same thing is to be said for the relationship with your dog. When that gorgeous beast is seen as an extension of you and acts in a way that draws every eye that falls on them, that’s damn impressive too.
