Are You Suppressing Your Dog? š§ š¾
How often do we push down our own instincts? Ignore gut feelings, suppress frustration, deny what we need just to fit into the world around us? And then we wonder why we feel restless, anxious, or unfulfilled.
Dogs are no different.
Today, we built a PVC rat tube to channel our poodleās hunting drive. Not to āteachā him anythingābut to let him be who he already is. Because when we ignore a dogās instincts, they donāt just disappear. They fester. They twist into compulsions, frustration, and ābad behavior.ā
The same way humans break under pressure, so do dogs. But when we acknowledge their natureāwhen we give them a healthy outlet instead of forcing them to suppress itāthey become calmer, more focused, more whole.
Maybe itās not your dog that needs to change. Maybe itās the way you see them.

You know that guyāthe one who grabs your hand, squeezes way too hard, and holds on just a little too long. Itās not just a handshake. Itās a power move.
Now imagine that in the dog world. But instead of an overbearing handshake, itās a dog throwing their paws on another dogās back and trying to hump them.
š This isnāt playing. Itās testing boundaries.ļ潚 Itās not cute. Itās a dominance move.ļ潚 And if you allow it, your dog is going to learn the hard way.
š” Would YOU let someone invade your space like that?
ļæ½If a stranger walked up and grabbed your shoulders, would you just laugh it off? If a coworker pulled you in for a handshake and crushed your fingers, would you call that ājust playingā?
No. Youād feel uncomfortable, annoyed, and ready to push back.
Dogs feel the same way. And when a pushy dog keeps testing the wrong dog? Thatās when fights break out.
šØ Itās the equivalent of someone leaning into your space during a conversation, towering over you, making sure you feel smaller.
š¶ Some dogs tolerate it.ļ潚¶ Some dogs avoid it.ļ潚¶ Some dogs fight back.
And when that happens, people blame the dog that snapped. But in reality? The rude dog started it.
š¢ If you wouldnāt let someone do this to you, donāt let your dog do it to others. Because if you donāt set the boundary?
Another dog will. And it wonāt be pretty.

Begging isnāt about hunger. Itās a power dynamic. Your dog sees an opportunity to control your behaviorāyes, even with those adorable eyes. But hereās the truth: youāre being played.
Hereās how to take back control using psychological mastery:
1ļøā£ Claim the Space: Use spatial pressure. Step forward with confidence until your dog backs off. This establishes that the foodāand the territoryāis yours.
2ļøā£ Command Respect: Direct your dog to a designated place or command them to lay down. Youāre not just moving them physicallyāyouāre rewiring their mindset.
3ļøā£ Repeat Relentlessly: Expect pushback. Dogs will test your resolve. Stay patient, stay consistent. Every rep is a step closer to psychological balance.
š The Key? Patience. Dogs follow confident leaders, not reactive pushovers.
š” When you enforce boundaries, youāre not being meanāyouāre being fair. This isnāt about dominance; itās about teaching calmness and respect.
So, next time youāre savoring your steak, enjoy it guilt-free. Youāve earned it.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why your dogās breed plays such a powerful role in shaping your bond with them? š¤ Itās not just about their appearance or how cute they look in photosāitās about something far deeper. Itās about discovering a companion whose instincts, energy, and personality align with your life, your rhythms, and your dreams.
Think about it: every breed has a history, a purpose, and a set of behaviors that have been carefully honed over generations. From the protective instincts of a German Shepherd to the playful curiosity of a Golden Retriever, these traits arenāt just quirksātheyāre the very essence of who they are. š¶āØ
So, when youāre searching for the perfect furry companion, itās not just about picking a dog; itās about understanding yourself, too. Are you someone who craves adventure and outdoor exploration? Or do you prefer quiet evenings curled up on the couch? The dog you choose becomes a mirror of your lifestyle, your energy, and even your aspirations.
If youāve ever felt like some dogs seem to operate on a completely different wavelength, thereās a reason for thatāitās their genetic blueprint, whispering the stories of their ancestors. š¾ This connection between breed and behavior is what makes the journey of choosing a dog so magical. Itās not just a decision; itās the start of a relationship thatās tailored to you, your needs, and your unique world.
Ready to explore why the right breed can make all the difference? Letās break it down together. š

Heās panting. Heās stressed. š¾
āØItās not the heat.
āØItās the weight of the world on his front legs, ready to bolt at a momentās notice.
Watch his earsātheyāre tuned into every little sound, like an alarm system that never shuts off. šØ
āØThis isnāt aggression.
āØThis isnāt ābad behavior.ā
This is fear. A deep, consuming, overwhelming fear.
āØAnd itās heartbreaking. š
Your German Shepherd isnāt āmeanā or ādominantāāheās scared. And when that fear takes over, it comes out as barking, lunging, pullingā¦ anything to keep the danger away.
But hereās the truth: we can help him. š
āØFear doesnāt have to define his life. With the right training, tools, and guidance, you can give him the confidence to breathe, to let go of his panic, and to finally be the dog you know heās capable of being.
š You have the power to change his story. It starts with understanding his fear and showing him that youāve got his back.

Do you know what your dog is truly asking for? š§ š¾
Letās break this down.
A clear, simple message: stop pushing, start listening.
Her body relaxed, and she stood by me. Her first instinct? Sniff my fingers, searching for food. But I didnāt rush to reward her curiosity. Why?
Because Iām not a vending machine. I needed her to disconnect the dots sheād drawn herself: push = food.
I waited 15 seconds. Just long enough for her to realize something powerful:
ļæ½I donāt control her through treats. I connect with her through clarity.
When she stopped asking, stopped sniffing, and just existed with meācalm and groundedāthatās when I rewarded her. Not for seeking, but for surrendering.
š This is where the psychological shift happens. Itās not about denying your dog what they want. Itās about rewarding the state of mind that builds trust, calmness, and respect.
Would you reward pushiness in a child, a coworker, or a friend? Probably not. So why do it with your dog?
šš” Calmness is connection. And connection is everything.
Whatās one habit your dog has that you might be accidentally rewarding? Drop it in the comments. Letās unpack it together. ā¬ļø

š¢ The Eye-Opening Truth About Your Dogās Behavior
Ever feel like your dog just doesnāt listen? They pull, they lunge, they ignore youāand itās exhausting. But hereās the thing: itās not about the leash, the collar, or the commands. Itās about something deeper.
Dogs are emotional creatures, just like us. They donāt just hear your words; they feel your energy. Every tug of the leash, every moment of defiance is a reflection of your connection.
When they pull, theyāre not being āstubbornāātheyāre saying, āIām unsure about you as my leader.ā
Let that sink in. š§ This isnāt about obedience. Itās about trust, respect, and clarity in your relationship.
Hereās the breakthrough: Your dog craves a confident, calm leader. Someone who sets clear boundaries, communicates with purpose, and leads with kindness. And when you step into that role, the transformation is incredible. š¾
This isnāt about blameāitās about empowerment. You have the power to create the bond youāve always wanted with your dog. Itās not easy, but itās worth it.
š„ Change starts with you. Reflect on your energy. How do you show up for your dog? When you bring trust and leadership, theyāll meet you there every time.
š Drop a ā¤ļø if youāre ready to rewrite your relationship with your dog. Respect starts with YOU, and together, you can build something amazing. š¤

Mayhem is a perfect example of an under-socialized puppy. Sheās not used to the world beyond her comfort zone, and it shows.
But hereās the truth no one wants to admit: food doesnāt fix nervesāit masks them.
š When I first brought out treats, Mayhem went from nervous wreck to overstimulated chaos. Did she suddenly become confident? No. She became addicted to the promise of food.
So what do we do instead?
Before we even step outside, we build confidence through calm focus:
ļæ½1ļøā£ No bribery. No treat-begging.ļæ½2ļøā£ Pressure on, pressure off. The slip lead becomes the guide, not the enemy.ļæ½3ļøā£ Calm behavior = calm reward.
š„ Donāt be fooled by a puppy that gets āexcited.ā Overstimulation isnāt braveryāitās another form of insecurity.
In this video, Iāll show you step by step how to teach your puppy to relax into confidenceānot perform for treats.
šÆ Stop masking the problem. Start addressing it.
