“Success can be harder to handle that failure.”

AKA compliancy kills.

When working with our pets, how many of us will chalk up 2 or 3 days of success and equate that to “mission accomplished?”

The answer sadly, is many, many of us.

This is NOT to say those success’s don’t count, they absolutely do. Consequently however, when the train is humming, that’s typically when our feet come up, our hands come off the wheel, and so on.

It never ceases to amaze me how far a dog/ person can slip in one day. Also, how much ground you can cover in one day.

Be here for the long road, the boring road, the CONSISTENT road.

I heard a quote earlier this week that definitely rang true for myself and many of the dogs I work with, “time is the great revealer of truth.”

Let’s keep doing the work, even when your grumpy, even when your tired, even when no one is clapping for you.

You and your dog deserve it.

“If there is faith in your future, there is power in your present.”

•

Finely begins week 3 of her stay.

•

Lady has definitely made loads of progress in her overall impulse control as well as not allowing environments/ stimuli trip her up as frequently.

•

It is always clear when the dog comes back Monday morning what dog I am getting back with finely and grizzly both, have been getting back rock stars!

•

That’s ALL credit to her handlers.

•

Super humbling experience to witness the growth and connection of the dogs and their handlers throughout the program!

•

Let’s get week 3 lady!!

Can you carry a burden?

It’s the answer your fitness instructor is seeking.

Your spouse, your teacher, your coach, your drill instructor, your children, your clients, your God, and everything in between.

Can you carry this load?

Everyone does well when it’s sunny and 75. Hydration is good, sleep is good, relationships are good.

What about when you’ve slept like s**t? Can you carry it then?

What about when everything around you is on fire, can you carry it then?

It is NOT my job to carry it for them, it’s my job to EQUIP them to carry it.

This lady has got such a deep soul and full of joy, WHEN conditions are perfect. When they’re not, disregard what I just said.

So, what do we do? We march straight into those difficult situations and get to work.

The more epic the dragon, the more epic the hero is the story.

This lady is going to be a dragon slayer.

Don’t break your promises.

•

When working with the type of dogs that I do, that sentiment is more than a cool phrase to slap on a post it note.

•

It is the lifeblood of what actually compounds into change.

•

Are YOU the handler, “setting the table” properly for the dog to understand, this is on the test, so pay attention.

•

Are YOU actually following through with the BORING non glamours routine that actually, WORKS?

•

Are YOU providing guidance, patience, and grace not to just the dog, but also yourself?

•

These past few weeks working with these two goofs has been super rewarding! Grizzly is absolutely smashing it with his training and couldn’t be more proud of the effort and diligence his handlers are putting in on his weekends at home!

Terry(the little guy) has been making great bounds with his neutrality in a wide range of environments and decompressed well since arriving.

•

It’s not how MUCH they can do however, how WELL they can do the few things we ask them.

•

I’ve been training these animals for over a decade and I still have yet to find a pair that the recommendation was to “do more.” 99.99% of the time, focus on less, and raise the proficiency!

•

Hope you all are having a great start to your week!

What is a master?

It is not someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to do his best to discover a knowledge he already has in his soul. - The Archer

•

Truly wild the transformation this dude and his handlers have made over the past few weeks!

Grizzly, it has been an absolute blast getting to work with you and thank you for being a walking, living, and breathing example of the lyrics “slow ride, take it easy.”

What he may lack in stamina he makes up for tenfold with desire/passion/ and soul.

So looking forward to seeing what the future hold for you big man!

Not trying to change the world here, just managing our portion of the garden. So grateful for the lessons this big giant has taught during his stay!

Week 2 for Da big Guy

“ I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” - Michelangelo

This dude has been so cool to work with.

Dude is a big personality and aims to please AND let the world know CLEARLY where his lines in the sand are.

Absolutely love working with dogs like him and assisting in the process for him to harness that focus and send into productive skills!

This dude is going to move mountains!!

W- hats
I- mportant

Pretty simple question really.

When you take away ALL the nonessential factors of what “should” and “ought” to be and focus singularly on, what’s important now that simplicity is where transformation lives.

When working with dogs like Grizzly, I’ve seen/ heard SO many trainers appease to the “optics” of this industry and at all costs, make sure the dogs LOOKS like their having fun.

Who determines what’s fun? Some folks like chess, some hate it. Some like the color blue, some fancy pink. Some like surfing, some skiing.

Doing things to appease folks is A. rarely if ever the solution and B. likely not what’s important now.

The reality is, some situations suck.

This is NOT saying, go out of your way to make things intentionally miserable. However, detoxing sucks. Cutting ties from bad relationships sucks. Acknowledge YOU are responsible for where you are in life sucks.

What’s been awesome to watch over the past week with this guy is his ability to bounce back and realize that rock bottom was a gift.

His intensity, passion, and enthusiasm has been super cool and infectious to be around!

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” What a powerful truth this passage is. He’s displaying perfectly why you don’t count your chickens before they hatch. So proud of this dude!

Very much looking forward to watching him progress throughout the rest of the program!

Let’s keep it rolling big bear!

Welcome 🐻Grizzly🐻

We got Da Big Guy!

Grizzly will be joining us for the next few weeks to decompress, recalibrate, and re-engage into the world around him.

What has been SO incredible working with him thus far (24hrs) has been his intellect.

How these guardians process information and send it through their threat assessment software is definitely something, as a dog nerd, I get goosebumps witnessing.

We have all heard the phrase. It is important to “socialize” your dog. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for socializing however, when it comes to breed/genetic specificity, we MUST be diligent, thoughtful, and intentional with that word.

You’ve heard me many times say socializing does not equal engagement. That is definitely the first lesson grizzly and I will be working on together.

Let’s get extra Tony Robbins on everyone, its not the water on the outside of the ship that sinks it. Conversely, it is the water that gets inside.

Very excited to be apart of this dudes journey to open up his mind to the fact he can become far more capable, disciplined, and resourceful.

Friday is good, because Sunday is coming.

South Dakota Family Trip 4/4

“The toughness I was learning was not a martyred doggedness, a dumb heroism, but the art of accommodation. I thought: to be tough is to be fragile; to be tender is to be truly fierce.”-Gretel Ehrlich

I would never be able to be to you what I am without them being what they are to me.

Serving you all is an incredible honor, one I STILL, years into this, can’t believe I get to do.

I hope you all have a great rest of your week. Thank you for all the support!

Now, next dog up!

South Dakota Family Trip 2/4

With ALL of the excitement with the vehicle trouble, why not keep it rolling with 103 deg heat, driving through the needles highway, having our daughter projectile vomit all over the back seat/ car seat!

Alsteen’s just….keep…winning!

I would be SO remised to say that even with ALL of this, the lack of sleep, the HEAT, vehicle giving us issues that we were not having a blast!

They had PRIMAL RAGE!! Got to show Pac-Man his dad still knows how to get down with Blizzard and Vertigo!

We were so blessed with an amazing family who not only shared some of their toys with the kids but lended their ears and hearts to us.

Was so cool getting to showcase Gabriella to the folks at the beach who’ve never seen a Cane Corso in person before.

A phrase we found ourselves repeating with all our mishaps was “I’d gladly take these inconveniences than a real problem.” Man if it wasn’t like the Lord was listening everytime we said that and was like “okay, here you go.”

The scriptures tell us, “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment.” It was sobering to sit on a hillside somewhere and ponder and weigh this, especially considering being in Custer.

I’ll be the first to admit that when I’m in the “thick of it” I get tunnel vision and fixated on what’s “going wrong.” What has been incredibly SOBERING is getting Jade and Rufy certified as therapy dogs for Unity Hospice to join their Veteran Program and visit with former service members battling cancer. It has radically changed my perspective in these moments to search out “what’s going right.”

Some days it’s as simple as pouring a cup of coffee.

What’s the point? Of all this? To “show off” how our trip went? To show how nice our family is?

NOPE. We struggled, we FAILED, we said sorry, and we cried. We ALSO laughed, sang, prayed, giggled, and PLAYED!

The point is, simply saying thank you, to all of YOU.

You know and I know, the issues that bring you through those doors, the looks we get working with “those dogs.” And STILL you show up. You wipe the tears out of your eyes, grab your leash, and get the reps in.

Being a combat veteran and being in the Marine Corps infantry I can tell you, the most difficult assignments are tasked out to the unit who displays the proficiency to accomplish the mission. Protect your asset people. The assest is you.

I love you all!

Have a great weekend.

🚨Protect the Asset🚨

Willow will be boarding with us over the weekend.

I’ve said it at nauseam at this point. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.

So appreciative of her owners for utilizing us as a boarding service while they are at a family camping event.

Do we WANT Willow there this weekend? Absolutely.

Is she READY for it? Not there yet.

The statement above, protect the asset, displays her handlers understanding of our PROGRAM!

This is not, has never been, nor ever will be a place you send your dog off to “wash your hands” of the dogs issues. This IS a place where we will work and develop skills and techniques at our students learning level.

The success, strides, and improvements this group has made over the past few months is nothing short of impressive.

It was a completely different Willow getting dropped off today for her stay, and that is ALL credit to her handlers!

Keep up the great work!

The award was for BEST in the bay, not nicest!

What MOST, not all, dogs & handlers need is to get to a place where they are weighing the vital few over the trivial many!

Her being here this weekend is a living testimony to just that! Protect the asset!

Hope you all have a great and enjoyable weekend.

South Dakota Family Trip 1/4

Man oh man, when the Alsteens pulled out of the drive way last Wednesday, HUGE, were are expectations and hopes for our first cross country family trip.

What we were met with was a blown axle and bearings just west of the 1880s town, mile marker 159 to be more exact! 😂

With two toddlers and mastiff stranded roadside on 105 deg heat, I find it safe to say our patience and hope was dwindling fast!

What’s better, we needed to be towed 157 miles to the nearest town that could get us in, with it being sturgis week.

Even in these moments, man was the itch to shake my fist at the sky and start to get angry starting to fester.

Nevertheless, leave it to our kids and dog to remind us that chilling on the side of the highway can be fun and getting a police es**rt across town scanning for decepticons.

Truly incredible to see how the kids and Gabriella handled the entire situation.

Our goal was to have a nice little get away, celebrate our first trip, getting voted best in the bay, and enjoy eachother; was great having them along to remind us that even with these hiccups, that goal didn’t have to change.

Who needs a national park when you can make blanket forts in a hotel!

“Anger is the bodyguard of another emotion”

They are indeed out there however, the overwhelming majority of dogs I work with are NOT truly angry.

They’ve, through learned experience, adapted that displaying anger/ aggression is/was at one point, beneficial.

Thusly, they need to LEARN through experience aka repetition that, displaying that behavior, is no longer beneficial.

like most people, most dogs simply have a fear/anxiety of the unknown.

So, it is our job as their leader and handler to expose them to as many environments, distractions, stresses, and everything in between to ensure our animals are CAPABLE to perform in the theater we deploy them.

That can range from being a therapy dog visiting a cancer patient to a protection dog, knocking a door off its hinges and eating someone’s face off.

in ALL areas and ALL environments, for humans as well, you don’t fall to your expectations, you fall to the level of your training.

The good news is, we’ve worked with hundreds if not thousands of dogs at this point, to overcome fear based barrier/resource/reactivity. As much as we love to put on soft music and operate in the “chill” zone, we have to remember to meet the dog where it IS and equip them with the tools and skills to adapt, overcome and thrive in those environments that at one point in time used to be fearful.

That will involve a time, financial, and emotional investment.

If you’re struggling with any fear/ anxiety based behaviors in your training, we’d love to help!

Love you all, have a great day!

Bubba Big man has been making incredible progress thus far during his stay!From a dude who would associate most of any form of arousal as an excuse to turn into a bull in a china shop, is now, actually weighing the costs of his reactions to the environment.One of the most impactful phrases I’ve heard in this industry is, “don’t work the dog you wish you had in front of you, work the dog in front of you.”It has been awesome gaining this dudes trust and exposing him to his triggers and equipping him with alternative options to deal with them.Looking forward to his owners getting some reps in with him over the next few weeks left with him!Have a great weekend!#titletownk9academy #pitmix #bulldog #mix #pocketrocket #bubbagumpshrimp
