New couch: $1-3k

You see the point. And unfortunately it often takes something horrific like that happening before people seek help. But training shouldn’t be a last resort—it’s a first priority to prevent the issues from the get go.

Training your dog is an investment, absolutely. But it’s a small one when you have a LIFETIME of good behavior with your dog to look forward to, you never have to replace future or make ER vet visits because the dog ate something it shouldn’t have…

And you get to actually enjoy life WITH your dog, vs living your life around the dog and their behavioral issues.

Life with a dog can be GREAT- but most people don’t get there by luck

So many owners mistake the absence of rules, structure, and accountability as a gift of freedom. What they fail to realize is that the “gift” they think they’re giving is actually a curse of lifetime micromanagement and limitations.

The irony is that the dogs who have the skills and reliability which come from the “soul crushing” rules, structure, and accountability are the dogs who live the biggest, happiest, most included, and truly freedom-filled lives.

Interesting that. 🙂

✨NEW PROGRAM DROP!✨
Our 7 day board and train tackles otherwise behaviorally solid dogs who owners JUST want to be able to enjoy the walk!

Stop the general nonsense like pulling, over-sniffing, lunging, putting on the breaks, and minor reactivity!

Lily & Jeremy went home this evening to do their weekend trial.
They have another week before they’re done.

💛 Jeremy came in with some anxiety and insecurity issues, dog reactivity.
🩵 Lily with some shyness, leash issues, jumping, etc.

They couldn’t be walked together.

They’re doing awesome and I’m so proud of them.

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. ❤️
