✨𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙤𝙧𝙮: 𝘼 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙐𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚✨

Rory’s journey over the past year has been incredible and yesterday marked a huge milestone in his progress!

For those who remember, Rory came from a rescue situation that left him deeply fearful of people and dogs, leading to intense reactivity and fear-based aggression. When I first started working with him and his mom, Ronnie, I couldn’t get close to him for the first hour of our session. But through patience, structure, and trust, we made strides—by this past summer, he could be within 10-15 feet of my personal dog in a very controlled setting.

With a recent move, Ronnie was concerned about setbacks. Life changes can be tough on dogs, especially those with Rory’s background. After a few months apart, we met for a refresher session, and I knew he was ready for more intensive work.

Yesterday, Allison and I picked him up and headed straight to Peace Valley Park—a busy environment on a beautiful Sunday, perfect for the challenge.

This session focused on the heel command and more intense threshold work. Rory’s past training built confidence through environmental management and simple commands, but it was time to push further. He needed to learn he didn’t have to live in a constant state of fight or flight—he could exist calmly in the world. And he crushed it!

With clear, fair, and consistent communication, he handled being close to bikes, dogs, and people—situations that once triggered him. He showed zero aggression and, even when reactive dogs lunged near him, he remained neutral with appropriate threshold space. Another win? Allison was even able to work him!

We took plenty of photos and videos for Ronnie before heading back to teach her the new skills we’re layering in. What started as small goals—like simply walking him outside her home—has now evolved into visiting busy parks, and maybe even a dog-friendly restaurant or coffee shop one day.

Many people mistake excitement for happiness in dogs. When we greet them with high energy—fast-talking, excessive petting, and playful chaos—we reinforce arousal, not necessarily joy. While emotion isn’t bad, too much of intense emotion can lead to anxiety, reactivity, and poor impulse control.

Excitement, simply put, is a state of arousal, not an indicator of well-being. A dog wagging its tail and jumping may be happy—but it could also be anxious, stressed, or overstimulated. The more we feed into high-energy moments, the more we teach our dogs to live in that state. When arousal is the default, they struggle to regulate themselves, making calm behaviors harder to achieve.

🐾𝙀𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨—crate time, place command, and structured downtime reduce the habit of constant movement and over-engagement.
🐾𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚—structured walks, short training sessions, and mental enrichment are more beneficial than excessive, constant physical exercise.
🐾𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙜 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩—they don’t need to react to every movement you make, nor do you need to engage with them every time you move.

🌟When a dog learns to default to calm rather than fluctuating arousal, their nervous system resets, making training more effective and life more enjoyable. Think about the difference between coming home from a peaceful day versus a chaotic one—which feels better? The same applies to your dog. Stability isn’t boring; it’s the foundation for a confident, well-adjusted companion.🐾🌻

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙄𝙨 𝙈𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙜 𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙨?

You’ve been working hard, training consistently, and yet—your dog is still lunging, barking, or causing a scene on leash. What gives?

The truth is, reactivity isn’t just about training in the moment. It’s about everything leading up to it, the patterns we allow, and the small things we overlook. Here are some common reasons why leash reactivity persists:

🔹 𝙏𝙤𝙤 𝙈𝙪𝙘𝙝, 𝙏𝙤𝙤 𝙎𝙤𝙤𝙣
Dogs don’t generalize well—they’re black and white thinkers. Just because your dog can walk politely past one dog in a quiet neighborhood doesn’t mean they can handle a busy park with off-leash dogs running around. They need many successful repetitions in different scenarios to truly understand and perform consistently.

🔹 𝙏𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜
Think about a day where everything goes wrong—you oversleep, spill coffee, hit traffic, and then someone makes a small comment that pushes you over the edge. Your reaction isn’t just about that comment; it’s about everything that built up before it. Dogs experience the same thing. If they’re constantly exposed to stressors (barking out the window, rushing the front door, leash tension), that stress compounds. Then, by the time they see a dog on a walk, they’re already overwhelmed.

🔹 𝙊𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 (𝙄𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙)
If your dog only listens when they feel like it, that’s a problem. Mixed messages—sometimes enforcing commands, sometimes letting things slide—lead to inconsistency. If they don’t have to listen at home, why would they listen when distractions are high?

🔹 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝘼𝙙𝙙 𝙐𝙥
Maybe your dog slightly breaks a command and you let it go because they’re “close enough.” But over time, these small moments add up, shaping a mindset that rules are flexible. The moment your dog decides “place” means anywhere close to the cot, or “heel” means “sort of next to you,” you’re allowing wiggle room that can create bigger issues down the line.

🔹 𝙐𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠
If your dog is spinning in circles and whining before you even leave the house, that energy is already out of control. By the time you’re on the walk, they’re primed for chaos. A calm walk starts before you step outside—structured waiting at the door, controlled exits, and a composed mindset make all the difference. If the leash is a cue, have them drag that leash around the house mindlessly for a week- give the leash no power!

🔹 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚 & 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙨
You let your dog bark at the window all day, but then expect them to be silent on walks. You allow pulling in the backyard, but want a perfect heel at the park. Dogs don’t separate these behaviors—they practice what they repeat. Consistency matters.

🔹 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙨 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙧
Some days your dog will do great, and other days it might feel like you’re back at square one. Instead of getting frustrated, ask why—is the environment different? Are there new triggers? Was your dog overstimulated before the walk? Did you rush through the basics? Every setback is feedback. Read, evaluate, regroup- try again!

✨ 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 ✨
These are just some of the reasons why reactivity lingers, even when you’re actively training. Dogs see the world in black and white—either the rules apply, or they don’t. The small details you let slide can make or break progress. Stay consistent, stay patient, and remember: every successful repetition builds a calmer, more stable dog.

👉🏻 𝘿𝙤𝙜 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚: Training isn’t just about commands; it’s about how you live with your dog every day. The way you communicate, set boundaries, provide structure- even how you play with your dog - all of it plays a role in shaping your dog’s behavior. Every interaction is a learning opportunity.

🐾 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣: If one method isn’t clicking, there’s always another way to approach it! Dogs are individuals, and flexibility in training makes all the difference. Stay open-minded and don’t be afraid to try something new. 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶!

👉🏻 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙏𝙤𝙤: Your dog is learning, but so are you! Training is often more about educating the owner than the dog. Don’t be too hard on yourself—the growth you experience is just as important as your dog’s progress.

🐾 𝙄 𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙀𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩: If you reached out to me or are working with me, you’re showing a commitment to learning. That effort matters, and I genuinely appreciate the time you dedicate each week to improving your relationship with your dog.

👉🏻 𝙈𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙜𝙨 𝘼𝙧𝙚𝙣'𝙩 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙀𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧: Surprise! My dogs make mistakes too. They struggle, have bad days, and sometimes push my buttons. The key is consistency, patience, and understanding—and yes, I have the advantage of dedicating a lot more time to them than most people can.

🐾 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙎: Your dog doesn’t need to match my dogs or anyone else’s. Whether you want a hiking buddy, a calm household companion, or an adventure partner—those goals are yours to define. Your journey is about what works best for you and your dog.

☝🏻At the end of the day, training is a never-ending journey—not a race. Celebrate the little victories, be patient with the setbacks, and know that I’m always here to support you and your dog along the way.

𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙖 is a congenital condition where a dog’s spine doesn’t fully develop, often impacting mobility and coordination.

While we are mindful of her movements and condition, her training isn’t about limitations—it’s about helping her 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨. Just like her sister Izzy, a prior graduate of ours, Holly follows the same rules and boundaries, learning structure, obedience, and independence.

Helping your dog become well-mannered doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By focusing on a few key areas, you can create positive changes in their behavior while strengthening your bond.

🌟𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨 & 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙨:

1️⃣ 𝘍𝘶𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘕𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 – Every dog has physical, mental, and genetic needs. Ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, training, enrichment, and rest is crucial for their well-being and behavior.

2️⃣ 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘚. 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: 𝘚𝘦𝘵 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘜𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 – If your dog engages in behaviors you’d rather avoid, use management tools like crates, baby gates, leashes, and controlled access to prevent self-rewarding, bad habits. If you don’t have time to train through an issue immediately, managing their environment and behaviors can make a huge difference.

3️⃣ 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 – Dogs don’t instinctively know what behaviors we prefer. Be intentional about rewarding the good decisions they make, no matter how small-- especially when you first bring them home, or as puppies. As they learn, you can adjust how often you reward but always guide them toward success with clear, consistent, & fair communication.

👉🏻Consistency in daily interactions is what leads to lasting behavior improvements- it's the little moments often not thought about. Every single moment with your dog is an opportunity to teach, guide, and strengthen your relationship.

Allison will focus on puppies, general obedience, and advanced obedience. While I will still offer advanced obedience, my primary focus will shift to aggression, reactivity/behavioral work, and decoying. This year, I’ll be advancing through multiple schools, seminars, and specialized programs dedicated to decoying and aggression. Allison will still have my full guidance as she needs it, but will start taking dogs on her schedule when she returns!

The dopamine box is a highly effective tool used in dog training, originally developed to address food aggression. Trainers found that by placing a dog in a controlled environment where they could experience anticipation and regulation of dopamine levels, they could reshape the dog’s emotional response to food. Over time, this method proved to have even broader applications, now commonly used for tracking, article indication, environmental neutrality, and impulse control.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙭
The dopamine box was initially created to help dogs struggling with food aggression and resource guarding. By conditioning a dog to stay in a calm, regulated state while anticipating food, trainers could break the cycle of reactive arousal and shift the dog’s association with feeding time. Instead of experiencing stress or possessiveness, the dog learns that patience and neutrality lead to reward.

🔥𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙐𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙭🔥
Since its development, trainers have discovered that the dopamine box has far-reaching benefits beyond food aggression. It has become a foundational tool for helping dogs self-regulate, build anticipation for work, and develop impulse control.

🌟𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 – The dopamine box is now widely used to create calm, focused anticipation before tracking. Instead of allowing the dog to lunge or get overstimulated before beginning, the dopamine box helps reinforce patience and controlled drive, ensuring the dog engages with the track methodically rather than frantically.

🌟𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 – Whether for tracking or detection work, the dopamine box helps reinforce stillness and clarity in article indication. Dogs that struggle to maintain a consistent down or sit at an article learn that waiting in stillness leads to reward, making indications more reliable.

🌟𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙉𝙚𝙪𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 – The dopamine box is a powerful tool for building neutrality in challenging environments. By conditioning the dog to self-regulate in a stimulating setting (such as busy streets, dog parks, or training fields), we create a dog that can hold engagement without being negatively reactive to surroundings.

🌟𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 & 𝙁𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 – Some high-drive dogs struggle with delayed gratification. The dopamine box teaches them to wait in anticipation without escalation, which is critical for competition obedience, bite work, and hunting applications. Instead of allowing the dog to build frustration, the dopamine box creates clarity in waiting.

The dopamine box has evolved into an essential tool for shaping calmness, anticipation, and self-regulation in all type of dogs, with varying ranges of goals. Whether you’re using it for food aggression, tracking, article indication, or environmental neutrality, it provides a structured way to create clarity and focus in high-drive dogs.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙮 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠: 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧, 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝘿𝙤𝙜𝙨

Being a Decoy is so much more than just putting on a suit and taking bites. It’s an art—one that requires an intricate understanding of drive states, thresholds, being able to read & understand the dog, as well as the split-second decisions that shape a dog’s perception of the world.

My aggressive pursuit of decoy work isn’t just about sport or protection (as much as I LOVE working police dogs/sport dogs); it’s about mastering the language of canine behavior, which directly translates into the aggression and reactivity cases I work with daily.

When you truly understand a dog’s intent—how they process pressure, how they escalate, how they recover—you can guide that process rather than just react to it. You can show an aggressive or reactive dog that:

1️⃣ 𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨. By understanding how to apply and relieve pressure at the right moments, you can reshape a dog’s belief system about conflict and control. More specifically on the pet side- you can show them that biting doesn't gain them control of the situation and that there are better ways to communicate.

2️⃣ 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 & 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 (𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚), 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙. Instead of shutting a dog down, we can cap, channel, and teach them how to regulate their own intensity, turning unstable reactions into purposeful, controlled behavior. This translates WONDERFULLY into play. When was the last time you confidently played with your dog?

3️⃣ 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣-𝙙𝙤𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙. Whether it’s the dog and handler in a working scenario or a pet dog and owner struggling with fear-based aggression, the goal is the same: clarity, control, and a bond built on trust rather than volatility.

I have another decoy seminar coming up in April in Montana with an amazing teacher & mentor, and I’m eager to continue refining my skill set. Every session adds to my growing bank of knowledge—knowledge that I bring back to the pet dogs, working dogs, and owners I work with every day. The more I learn, the better I can teach, and the stronger the dogs I train become.

Onward and upward. 🐾🌻

✨𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝟵 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀✨

It’s been a little quiet on social media lately, but for a good reason! Back-to-back board & train programs have kept us busy. Typically, I avoid scheduling back-to-back stays so I can give myself and my personal dogs time to decompress. But sometimes, life has other plans—whether it’s due to vacations, bad weather, or illness, the schedule doesn’t always line up perfectly.

In the attached video, meet Kelce, a 4-month-old Golden Retriever who’s here for our hybrid raise and train program! Kelce is spending a few weeks with us to work on potty training, basic leash obedience, and foundational commands like come, sit, place, down on place, and (like prior mentioned) loose leash walking. After this initial stay, she’ll head home for some quality time with her family before returning for more advanced off-leash training, implied stay, and duration work in higher-distraction environments.

The video shows Kelce learning loose leash walking in what I consider a very sterile environment—Lowe’s on a quiet Sunday morning, just after they opened. With minimal distractions, we’re focusing on building the right foundation with a very frequent reward schedule.

🌟Take note: As I mark the sits she offers when I stop walking (which may be hard to hear over Lowe’s jazzy background music), there is no rush to pay her. The verbal marker gives me that time. She also has just enough leash length to make a decision on whether or not she will follow, but not so much that she’s without guidance.

As Kelce becomes more consistent with these expectations, we’ll begin proofing her skills in busier environments with dogs, people, and a more varied reward schedule.

🔥Every step is building toward her long-term success! Stay tuned for more updates on this sweet girl’s progress.

“𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝘿𝙤 𝙄 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙍𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙜?”

Short answer? 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵. ❌

Your dog may understand a behavior, but that doesn’t mean they’ll always want to do it—especially when distractions are competing for their attention. And if they don’t see what’s in it for them, you’ll likely find yourself correcting more, just to get the same result.

𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩: you go to work because you get paid. If your paycheck suddenly stopped coming in, how long would you keep showing up? Dogs aren’t much different. Paying them for their hard work builds eagerness, reliability, and a stronger relationship.

That doesn’t mean I hand out rewards every time either, but my dogs w͟i͟l͟l͟ b͟e͟ p͟a͟i͟d͟. I want them to perform as much as possible, with eagerness and with the least amount of conflict- and rewards help make that happen.

𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮—a reward is only a reward if the dog values it. Some dogs will work for food. Others prefer toys, space, freedom, physical touch, or verbal praise. Find what your dog finds valuable, and use it to your advantage during training, ensuring it transfers to real-world situations.

Similarly, 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨’𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶—but that’s a whole different discussion.

So, when do you stop rewarding your dog? Never. You just learn to reward strategically, keeping them engaged and eager to work. 💡🐾

Training isn’t just about the 30-60 minutes of structured time you dedicate each day—it’s about how you spend the other 23 hours living with your dog.

Training happens (or should happen) in the small, everyday moments as you incorporate commands and expectations into your daily interactions.

By consistently reinforcing behaviors and creating clear communication, training becomes a natural and seamless part of your life together, building a stronger, more balanced relationship.

🔥 Pro-Tip of the Day:

When you give your dog a command, follow-through is everything. Without it, a “command” becomes just a suggestion—and trust us, your dog knows the difference!

Consistency & fairness builds respect, structure, and the rock-solid obedience every dog owner dreams of. 🐾

✨Thank you all for your patience during my time away!✨

I’m returning back to PA, with renewed energy and valuable knowledge, ready to dive back into work before heading to my next bite and decoy seminar. 🔥

This year will truly be one of education & growth for both myself and Allison—her focus will be on mastering advanced obedience & behavior modification, while I’ll be dedicated to honing my skills in bite work, while building strong decoy foundations.

I’m excited to see the progress we make, and continue building on our success together!

✨Exciting Updates for Titan K9!✨

Katie here, and I’ve got Educational News to share!

☀️I’m headed to Land O’ Lakes, FL, for back-to-back seminars, starting with the “Trilogy of Active Aggression” featuring Justin Rigney, Erik Good, & Ronnie Manganiello, followed by “Hard Surface/Urban Tracking” with Rigney again. These opportunities will bring a wealth of knowledge and new tools to our training program (as well as my personal growth), and I’m beyond excited to apply these skills when I return!

Meanwhile, Allison is embarking on her first NePoPo® Gold School with Joe Hodge & Chris Williams! She’s taking her passion for training to the next level, and will return ready to take on her first clients with confidence and expertise.🔥

🌟We’re so grateful for your patience while we’re away, and we can’t wait to bring back everything we’ve learned to benefit our clients. Your trust means the world to us, and we’re committed to continuously improving and growing so we can better serve you and your amazing dogs! 🐾💛

Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being part of the Titan K9 family!

At Titan K9 Dog Training, we’re not just teaching obedience—we’re creating lifelong partnerships. Watching these families grow together is the reason we do what we do.

We are filled with gratitude for every client who entrusted us with their journey this year. Your dedication and hard work inspire us daily.

✨𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝟵 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀✨ It’s been a little quiet on social media lately, but for a good reason! Back-to-back board & train programs have kept us busy. Typically, I avoid scheduling back-to-back stays so I can give myself and my personal dogs time to decompress. But sometimes, life has other plans—whether it’s due to vacations, bad weather, or illness, the schedule doesn’t always line up perfectly. In the attached video, meet Kelce, a 4-month-old Golden Retriever who’s here for our hybrid raise and train program! Kelce is spending a few weeks with us to work on potty training, basic leash obedience, and foundational commands like come, sit, place, down on place, and (like prior mentioned) loose leash walking. After this initial stay, she’ll head home for some quality time with her family before returning for more advanced off-leash training, implied stay, and duration work in higher-distraction environments. The video shows Kelce learning loose leash walking in what I consider a very sterile environment—Lowe’s on a quiet Sunday morning, just after they opened. With minimal distractions, we’re focusing on building the right foundation with a very frequent reward schedule. 🌟Take note: As I mark the sits she offers when I stop walking (which may be hard to hear over Lowe’s jazzy background music), there is no rush to pay her. The verbal marker gives me that time. She also has just enough leash length to make a decision on whether or not she will follow, but not so much that she’s without guidance. As Kelce becomes more consistent with these expectations, we’ll begin proofing her skills in busier environments with dogs, people, and a more varied reward schedule. 🔥Every step is building toward her long-term success! Stay tuned for more updates on this sweet girl’s progress. 🐾 Interested in changing your relationship with your dog for the better? We’d love to help! Reach out! 🐾💛
