Awesome update from Fallons owner; a young Belgian Malinois we did some behavioral mod work with this summer. She was quickly becoming a lot to handle for her owners from chasing cars to pulling on leash and quickly becoming a problem.

Her owners are now able to take her to public places with many distractions and remain calm and relaxed. The “soft” stare relaxed mindset in this picture is what I love to see!

Glad to see Shaya and her owner doing what they love. The bond between a good field dog and owner is unmatched in my opinion. These two have worked incredibly hard to become the team they are today. Thanks Drew Daniels for the continued trust and support.

Quinn working on her pointing game before she goes home to her owner for her first upland season.

She has spent a lot of time in training and is now ready for her owner to do the fun part; and give her the experience.

She is delivering to hand, is steady on point, searches/quarters with a team player mindset, has a clean point of contact for obedience, good enthusiasm to work. We are fine tuning this last few weeks with her and can’t wait for her owner to enjoy her.

Charlie working on proofing his basic obedience in public. Still room for improvements but I am very happy with his progress.

Shaya working on a pre season conditioning hike with our kennel helper Alexis Buell who absolutely loves the dogs and has worked hard on becoming a good handler of working and family dogs. Her extensive experience with large animals horses/cows has helped her tremendously to grow as a handler/trainer. Great video of her just having fun with Shaya the GWP.

Awesome post board and train update from a happy client. They are working hard on their leash obedience and mindset work. Frankie used to be very nervous and not sure how to navigate obstacles or mentally challenging situations.

He is now thriving at home fully off leash with his owners who have been working very hard practicing their new training concepts and becoming the best owners for Frankie.

Fallan the Belgian Malinois puppy (7mo old) here for a long term board and train. Her owners were starting to see nervous behaviors develop and were not sure how to bring out her potential.

We will be working with her for the next 12 weeks getting a solid foundation and balance power/control and then transitioning her back to her family to take over.

We can’t wait to take her to the next level. She started showing signs of severe anxiety, salivating, barking,whining, fear behaviors, chasing cars, and overall craziness.

Awesome update from Nelly’s owners post board and train graduation. Nelly is doing very well adjusting back home and her owners are enjoying off leash hikes and able to bring her to work everyday now. A well trained dog is able to live its best life! We miss her but know she is in good hands.

Words of wisdom and very true one of the most important variables in behavior work is the owners mindset. If that is not 110% dialed in all the money, training, time and effort investment will lead to frustration and failure. Hard stuff for sure but it is truly the key to success that unfortunately few actually obtain.

I’ve talked about this so many times. The mechanics are the easy part, the mindset is what’s hard.

When things were a mess with myself and my own dogs 20-something years ago, it wasn’t the new tools, techniques, and training concepts that turned everything around—it was the decision I made that I would become someone different, better, less selfish, less emotionally dysfunctional—someone who would lead in a healthy fashion without apology… because my dogs needed it and deserved it.

The training tools, techniques, and concepts I learned were the byproduct of the decision I made, not the cause of it. So many go about this in reverse, and because their mindset isn’t in the right space, all the tools, training, and techniques predictably fail.

So before you invest a bunch of time and money and hope into all the exterior stuff, be sure you’ve tackled the far more elusive and difficult internal stuff.

The answers start on the inside, and only once we have a solid handle on this aspect can we actually create the external outcomes we claim in to so desperately desire.

Replace the word “Horse” with dog…. This is spot on for many of our clients and their dogs especially those nervous or anxious dogs and especially many rescue pups.

Nelly graduates from her basic obedience/foundation board + training. She came in extremely anxious/nervous/avoidant mindset. Pulling really hard on the leash using all her back muscles. Her confidence is boosting now and she can enjoy off leash hikes with her owners and has a much better understanding of life and all the environmental pressures that go along with this big world. We are going to miss her a lot.

Our old student Jersey is happy to be back for a refresher while his family is on vacation.

Frankie working on his off leash recall and delivery. He is a 7 month old puppy rescue. Frankie was struggling with an aroused/nervous mindset and his owners needed more help than private lessons could provide. He is now happier than ever, understands personal boundaries, leash work, and OFF leash freedom! He now has the tools and skills necessary for his owners to take over and enjoy him.

Ranger working on building his confidence using a soft cue or the lead rope and low e-collar stim. Using both at the same time at this stage to pair leash/e-collar and eliminate confusion. His confidence is increasing everyday from where he was prior to starting his training. He is more focused, relaxed, and much happier and receptive to the world around him. Still lots of work ahead but we are making great progress!
