Happy International Dog Day 💛

Give your dogs a treat for me.

I'm so grateful for all:

→ The dogs I work with

→ The lessons I've learnt

→ The relationships I've built

→ My clients

→ And all the wonderful dog owners I've met on here.

Remember that building trust and a great bond with your dog is the most important.

As a PSA, ensure your dog has:

Their mental needs met

Their physical needs met

And their veterinarian visits

I love dogs and how much they've changed my life.

I'm sure all the dog owners here agree 😉

Why is my Pitbull so energetic 🤔 ?

Here's the real breakdown of why they're so chuck full of energy.

Simply put, it's genetics.

That's how they were bred to be.

Although initially for immoral reason
(Do your own research)

High energy is part of their DNA.

Their lean muscle also makes then energy efficient.

And they always want to do something.

Many are also extremely affectionate.

Mix the two and you've got chaos.

From knocking you over...

To uncontrollable and destructive zoomies...

It can be a bit much.

How do you stop their energy?

YOU CAN'T.

But, you can redirect their energy!

Pay attention to these activities that will burn that insane amounts of their energy:

👉 Hiking

👉 Weighted backpack walks
↳ (consult your vet and trainer)

👉 Obedience drills

👉 Flirt pole workouts
↳ (google it)

👉 Swimming
↳ (Caveat is that they don't float well due to low body fat and short coat.)

👉 Tug of war.

👉 Intense treadmill runs.
↳ (Use caution and common sense)

👉 Learning challenging tricks.

Now you understand why Pitbulls have so much energy

And you have just learnt how to deal with it.

Wasn't that worth the read 😄?

I work with anxiety riddled rescues.

Here's how I transformed Daisy's anxiety for my client when she first came to class.

She was visibly anxious.

Untrusting

And wouldn't eat.

Daisy would watch my every mood with uncertainty.

And of course, we can't do any obedience while she's this anxious.

What did I do?

I focused on building TRUST.

I projecting a calm and peaceful energy.

NO sudden movements.

I waited for Daisy to make the first moves.

This helped her trust me.

Every action was out of her own curiosity.

And eventually her anxiety started going away.

She began to nibble at the treats in my hand.

And once she came to like the treats and trust me.

It was a game changer!

No we are able to actually work on her obedience.

Here she is in a "Long Down" command.

And she's doing great.

You can see how comfortable she is...

On the verge of falling asleep.

This is how you approach anxious dogs!

P.S. What struggles have you had with your anxious dog?

THIS 👇 is how your dog should look at you

Here's why it's a game changer and how to achieve it in 60 days

Pixel is focused on his handler.

You can see the joy, intent and anticipation in his eyes.

He's ready to do anything at a moment's notice.

How did my client achieve this with Pixel?

By using my Three Pillars of Dog Training:

✅ Engagement
✅ Trust
✅ Drive

He played engagement games to make himself the apple of Pixel's eye.

Overtime he built an unbreakable trust with Pixel.

This was especially important as Pixel is a rescue.

And he focused on building Pixel's drive like crazy.

Acing all 3 of these pillars has resulted in Pixel behaving exactly as seen in this photo.

If you want your dog to look at you this way,

It's dead simple to achieve...

Just follow in my client's footsteps 😄.

P.S. How does your dog look at you? I'm curious to know 📸

I love working with rescues!

But here's the #1 mistake their owners make.

They are too soft and 'kind'

In other words, rescue owners unintentionally overcompensate for their dog's past.

Whether known or unknown.

They're a lot easier to train than you may think.

You have to treat them fairly.

Focus on the dog IN FRONT OF YOU.

Not the dog of the past.

Kindness is great and you should show them kindness.

But true kindness also means doing right by them.

Having a strained bond with your rescue due to your inability to correct their negative behaviors when necessary isn't kind.

The ultimate goal is for you to:

✅ Have a fantastic bond with your Rescue.
✅ And to have an obedient dog.

And I prove this time and time again.

I'm the big bad wolf that gives them a fair and appropriate correction when needed.

But I reward them for every single positive behavior they display.

Every time they get something right...

Even when I didn't ask for it.

And guess what???

They love me and can't wait to see me when I show up to their owner's house.

Because I provided the leadership and guidance they NEEDED, and not based on my emotions.

I'm not saying it's easy for you.

I get it, it's tough after hearing their traumatic back story.

But you need to move on and rehabilitate them.

P.S. Are you a rescue owner? If so, I'd love to read your take on this!

Why is my dog not staying down when I tell them "down" ?

Here's the simple answer:

→ You haven't taught them too!

Chances are you still rely on the 'stay' command.

As a result, you have not built the stay aspect into the down command.

→ Another reason... you haven't done threshold training

What do I mean by that?

Saying 'down' and then rewarding your dog for staying there for 5 seconds.

Then 20 seconds... then 50... and so on.

You need to incrementally build their ability to stay down for a solid amount of time

So now that you understand, teach them and practice it DAILY.

Integrate it into your everyday life.

🔷 While your watching the news, a show, or a movie.

🔷 In the kitchen while you're cooking

🔷 In the yard while you're gardening

It simple really.

You just need to be consistent and do lots of practice.

P.S. This dog's name is Nugget and she belongs to a client of mine.

Through my training and advice, Nugget can do a long down with no problems!

Your small dog is out of control

But you can turn things around in 3 months.

Small dog owners often hire me because of their dog's:

→ Excessive jumping and barking
→ Growling over food or relatives
→ Destruction of property
→ Lack of Socialization
→ Leash Pulling
→ Reactivity

So I help them make the change.

No more "giving in" to their dog's demands
No more "maybe I'll correct that later"
No more letting their dog rule their lives

3 months of undoing bad habits and learning good ones.

I teach them from scratch!

- Reward desired behaviors
- Correct unwanted behaviors
- Play engagement games
- Build their drive

So if you're on the fence...

What's 3 months of commitment in comparison to years of peace with your dog?

Still think your small dog doesn’t need training?

Here’s why you’re wrong, and in more ways than you think 🤔

1️⃣ Mental and Physical stimulation

Small dogs need stimulation just like big dogs.

And training is a great way to provide that and to give them a healthy outlet for their energy.

2️⃣ No Training = Bratty Small dogs.

You can’t deny it.

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

We all see the small dogs that rule their owners and behave like menaces.

And why is that?

Because they were never taught:

✅ Rules
✅ Boundaries
✅ And Discipline

And it’s annoying isn’t it?

So don’t let that be you.

Because trust me, you’d be doing a disservice to yourself and your dog.

3️⃣ Socialization

Your dog needs to be taught how to be neutral when in the presence of new stimuli.

For example: New sights, sounds, dogs, cars

Otherwise they’ll get themselves in trouble.

4️⃣ Recall

If it one thing you MUST teach your small dog…

It’s teaching them to come to you when called.

This is a LIFE SAVING command.

Otherwise your dog can run into the street and get run over by a car, all because YOU were to lazy to teach recall.

Still think you shouldn’t train your small dog??
