Anybody else have that relative? Anybody? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Here are some guidelines:

- Set ground rules ahead of time about exactly how to interact with your dog.
Focus on what you want people TO DO.

-Always be present with your dog to supervise and advocate for them.
Most people do not understand dog body language or stress.

- Do not be afraid to tell someone โ€œno.โ€
You are not being a jerk. You are simply doing what your dog needs.

- Keep your dog put away if the situation is unpredictable, too chaotic, or if you cannot be present.

- Never apologize or be ashamed for setting boundaries to keep your dog safe.

--------------

Remember that no one NEEDS to hang out with your dog at gatherings and get-togethers. If you think your dog will be uncomfortable, or YOU are uncomfortable, just keep your dog in their own space.

I get many reports of increased bite incidents around this time of year. Remember that our stress levels are higher, and our dogs can be too.

It is up to you to keep your dog safe around others, even if this means having to speak up and ask people to change their behavior around your dog, no matter how "good with dogs" they think they are!

Have you ever heard someone say their dog is โ€œjust stubbornโ€?

Itโ€™s one of the most common things I hear โ€” but hereโ€™s the truth: stubbornness is a human idea, not a dog one. When we call a dog stubborn, weโ€™re looking at their behaviour through a human lens โ€” assuming they understand what we want and are CHOOSING not to do it. But dogs donโ€™t think that way. Theyโ€™re not trying to annoy us or make a point.

If your dog isnโ€™t doing what you ask, itโ€™s usually because something else is going on. Maybe the cue isnโ€™t clear yet. Maybe the reward isnโ€™t exciting enough. Or maybe theyโ€™re distracted, stressed, or just being the breed they are โ€” like a beagle following its nose or a husky deciding on its own path.

So next time your dog seems โ€œstubborn,โ€ try asking yourself why itโ€™s hard for them in that moment. Then make it easier for them to get it right โ€” clearer communication, better rewards, or change the environment. Once you see it that way, training feels a lot more like teamwork than a battle of wills.

MYTH #21: A dog should be punished for growling. Growling is not acceptable behavior.

Growling is communication ... no more, no less.

A growl is the only vocal signal that your dog possesses to tell you that he is at his threshold of coping. Punishing this signal can result in a dog who escalates to a bite without a warning growl.

Whether you need advice on how to help your fearful dog, have concerns about aggressive behavior, are struggling with puppy issues, or just want to set your dog or puppy up for success, I can help. Contact me today at [email protected] or visit my website at https://www.crimsonhound.com .

Our Story

We as our dogโ€™s caregivers want to create an environment in which our dogs will be set up for success and where both parties are having fun doing so! This can be done by creating an easily understandable and predictable sequence of events. For example dogs need rules and clear boundaries to understand what is expected of them. A calm and fair handler will in turn nurture a calm and reliable dog. In my training I use a lure and reward method of training. The lure helps in the acquiring of skills and the reward (treat/toy/praise) helps reinforce the skill just learned. When the dog understands the command the reward allows him/her to know the action was correct. There will be corrections being done in the form of, the removal of the treat, praise, or toy. A leash correction may be done but only if the handler is certain that the dog knows the command but hasnโ€™t followed through.
