“You must learn to be comfortable with discomfort to grow.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche teaches the discipline of transformation. Growth is not gentle; it burns, bends, and breaks before it rebuilds. To evolve means to leave behind what no longer fits — and that is never painless.
đŸ”„ The weak seek ease; the strong seek meaning. Every muscle, physical or spiritual, grows through resistance. To flee discomfort is to flee maturity.
Endurance is not mere suffering — it is sacred training. Every moment of pain endured with awareness becomes a seed of strength. The soul that embraces discomfort becomes indestructible.

Time is a luxury.  Anything can be accomplished,  the question is "Do we have time?"

The High Price of Ideology: When Dogs Pay With Their Lives

Let’s be clear: there are two types of force-free trainers.

The first type understands the limits of their methods. When faced with a dog showing serious aggression, they acknowledge that food rewards and ignoring behavior will never resolve the problem. They refer the client to a balanced trainer—someone prepared to use every ethical tool available, including corrections, e-collars, and structure. That kind of honesty is professional. That kind of humility saves lives. Those trainers deserve respect.

But then there are others. The trainers who know force-free won’t work in cases of severe aggression, yet they take the client’s money anyway. They sell endless private lessons, peddling the fantasy that “positive only” will fix what it cannot. They repeat the script: ignore the dog, keep feeding treats, just give it more time. All the while, they are collecting payment, knowing full well that the family’s beloved pet is headed down a path that ends behind a shelter’s locked door—or worse, a euthanasia needle.

That is not training. That is fraud.

Imagine a family with a powerful, reactive dog. They love him, but he lunges at other dogs, teeth bared, hackles raised. They seek help, desperate for answers. The trainer promises: “No punishment, no corrections—just love and food.” Thousands of dollars later, nothing has changed. The dog is worse. He is confined behind fences, dragged on walks at midnight, hidden from the world. Eventually, he injures another animal—or a person. The authorities intervene. And then, with tears streaming down their faces, the family is forced to sign the paperwork. Their once-loved companion is gone.

Not because the dog was beyond help.
Not because there weren’t solutions.
But because an ideology—clung to for profit and politics—denied him the tools that could have saved him.

This isn’t compassion. It’s exploitation.

Every time a force-free trainer refuses to refer out, refuses to admit the limits of their methods, they are making a choice: their bank account over the life of the dog. Every time an organization like the RSPCA labels balanced methods “abuse” while quietly euthanizing thousands of dogs that never got a fair chance, they too make that choice. Behind the veil of “kindness” lies cowardice, arrogance, and blood on their hands.

To those trainers and groups: you are not saviors. You are not progressive. You are liars, frauds, and profiteers, and the bodies of dead dogs testify against you. Families are left broken, children left crying, because you cared more about your image and your ideology than about truth and results.

Balanced training is not about cruelty—it is about fairness, clarity, and responsibility. A well-timed correction can save a dog’s life. An e-collar, used properly, can give freedom where a fence once imprisoned. A trainer humble enough to say, “This is beyond me, let me refer you to someone who can help,” is a true professional.

But when trainers hide behind the banner of “force-free,” pocketing money while dogs fail and families despair—they deserve no respect. They deserve condemnation. Because in the end, it is the dogs—the innocent, loyal, trusting dogs—who pay the ultimate price for their deception.

On behalf of every dog lost to ideology, every family betrayed by lies: F**K YOU

"You're always 1 dig away from getting your heart broken." Im really feeling the pressure right now.

We have 2 new Patterdales that have been trusted to us. We have to get the pup started and ready to hunt, we have the 3 year old to be bred to Cowboy, and we have Cowboy knocking on 9 years old. We've experienced a lot of losses the last couple years and my nerves are shot. We're going to be in the woods a lot this winter and so many things can go wrong.

I probably wont have the ability to film everything but I will show as much as I can. Its easy to talk a big game online, but its a whole different story when lives are on the line. We need all the luck and prayers you can send our way. We really need some wins this year

Conclusion to last weeks video clips. Learned behavior.

I jad a brilliant speech planned for this topic at the time of the posts but its a very busy time of year for us so I had to just spit this out with very little edits or planning.

Dogs do everything for a reason. The key to training or rehabilitation is to give them a reason to try an alternative behavior. This is a fine line people amd trainers struggle to walk and this is just intended to spark a conversation and make you think.
