Everyone always asks, "what's the key to having a calm, stable, obedient dog?" There are many factors that go into this, but I'll give you my top 3.

1st: choosing the right breed for your lifestyle.
If you like to be on the go by hiking and being active, a basset hound or shih zhu probably won't keep up!
If you like to stay home and watch tv, a healer or border collie will more than likely drive you a little crazy!

2nd: Consistency. If you are facing unwanted behaviors, but are not consistent in disagreeing, your pup will not understand. At the beginning of training, if you do not affirm wanted behaviors, they may not understand. Whether you have recently added a new family member or you've had your pup for a few years, CONSISTENCY is the key!

3rd: Time. Whether it's 10 minutes or 10 hours a day. Every interaction you have, they are learning something. It may take 1 minute to teach to sit, but it can take 10 days of consistent training to teach a dog to ignore others on your walk.

Just a reminder! Dogs are a direct reflection of their owners!

Rescues! When giving a 2nd chance to a dog in need, the easiest part of the entire journey is saying "I choose you". From there, the work begins.

Remember the rule of 3: 3 days of high stress to new environment (give them space to decompress), following 3 weeks is learning routines and behaviors (allowed/not allowed) training is crucial during this time, and 3 months to begin to fully adjust/accept new home.

EVERY interaction is teaching them something, positive or negative. You have to become the leader they need so they may thrive in your home.

Leash training is all about timing and confidence! An ill timed or missed correction will confuse your pup. So will reward or praise at the wrong time!

How is your on leash walk? How may I help?

When you loose a member of your pack, the entire pack feels the loss. Grief is a reminder to not take for granted the time we have. Remember, YOU are the pack leader and the remaining pack members WILL follow your example.

For the last 14 years, I have had my Zee girl by my side. She helped many of you along the way. I know she'll be there right beside Jesus to welcome me home one day.

How does your relationship with your dog look from the outside? How do you want it to look?

Goals?!

Time, consistency, and repetition are the key!

Behaviors can be modified, obedience can be taught.

God blessed us with man's best friend. There is a reason their lives are shorter than ours, don't waste another moment!

Have you ever heard the saying "A dog is a reflection of its owner"? When your pup is showing insecurities, over protective, or any other unwanted behaviors. The first thing I ask is what's going on in your life? Dogs will only follow calm assertive personalities. If they do not have that, they will feel the need to become your leader in order to bring calm to your household. Message me directly for more tips on how to become the leader of your home!

The biggest thing that I want you to remember is that every interaction you have, you are training your dog something, positive or negative is up to you! Consistency, repetition and patience is the key to a stable, well trained dog!

If you're willing to put in the time and effort, savor the highs of them understanding, be patient during the learning period, you will end up with one of the greatest companions of your life. The bond between a human and dog is so incredible that it can only be a gift from God.

Here are a few things to ask yourself before adding a furbaby to your family:

1) How much free time do you have to designate to the new addition?

No matter the age, all dogs require time to adjust and teach them your rules, boundaries and limitations.

2) What lifestyle do you live? (Not what you WANT to live, but DO live!)

If you enjoy slow days of reading or binge watching your favorite shows then a low energy breed (Bassett hound, English bulldog, French Bulldog, Saint Bernard and a host of different breeds) is for you!

If you love hiking and being active then a high energy or working breed (German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Jack Russell Terrier and a variety of high spirited breeds) is for you!

Have Allergies or don't enjoy hair on your black clothes? Anything mixed with a poodle!

3) What are your future plans?

Adding a dog to your family is a lifetime commitment. For the next 8-18 years, depending on the breed, you are committing to be responsible for another's life.

4) Do you have the financial abilities to care for a dog?

Food, vet visits (at the very least yearly shots), if needed/wanted training, grooming, extra cleaning supplies, and of course lots and lots of toys!
