Going through my courses for the next 4 years of vet school. I am fascinated by the flood of new things im learning already I get to study the inside of dogs...how cool is that?!?!

However, not one course covering animal behavior, problem resolution strategies, or learning theory. This is why you shouldn't always take behavior advice from your veterinarian unless they have an understanding of training dogs.
Im so fortunate I learned how to be a trainer and worked with dogs in applied settings all these years first.
My goal is to become a vet who truly understands dogs and the relationship they have with humans. Not just "fix" them.

I signed my letter of acceptance to vet school today. Talking about why I decided to apply in the first place, and how I am working diligently, so I am prepared both financially and education wise.

Soo excited to have been accepted into veterinary school. This is something I have wanted since I was a a little kid but life took some detours. (why I ended up devoting my life to helping dogs as a trainer the past 30 years) Reality is, once you get something you always wanted it can be very confusing and scary. But very very exciting!

I just got my acceptance letter for Veterinary school at 50 years old

Propaganda is strong in this one.

All I have done for years now is clean up messes ff trainers have created.

Force free ideology is a fraud, it’s the George-Stillwell effect.
Always seek an experienced professional dog trainer.
If your woke then chase the force free unicorn fairy tail that sh*ts cupcakes and farts glitter. We don’t won’t to hurt your fantasyland feelings.
Just remember your failed ideology kills animals by euthanasia and dog attacks, but don’t worry death before discomfort. Ideology has no place in training dogs.

Most common consensus ideas and thinking are completely wrong

The PP/FF, Fur mommy, PETA, types are not only oblivious to what dogs need but not very bright as a whole.

Flirt pole exercise with my Rottweiler, Susitna. It is essential to have a daily physical and mental exercise, plan for your dog.

I get cases like this constantly.

I get cases like this constantly.

Imagine calling yourself a dog trainer and kicking a dog out of class because they’re too difficult for you to work with.

And then also telling that same client that the actual solutions to the problem will make things worse…(aka correcting unwanted behavior and teaching a dog boundaries)

This is SO common. We hear stories like this every day and it’s really just so sad. This is why we’re so loud and outspoken about the industry and all the scams happening out there.

Basic obedience class will not resolve behavioral issues. And “behaviorists” will just tell you to medicate your dog after you pay them $800 for an essay on WHY your dog is behaving in such a way…

How is any of this in the best interest for the dog or the owner?

02/07/2025

I agree. People get manipulated by money like this too.

You would think all this talk of banning Ecollars and training equipment would make people think twice about commencing ecollar training.

Quite the opposite!

We have only had one client say they will postpone until May but we've actually had loads purchase Ecollars and book sessions in the last few weeks.

It's actually sparked more intrest in Ecollars.

Some clients saying they don't care about any potential ban they will be using one regardless.

Harmony occurs when we align with reality.

The soft dog requires a softer touch, the medium dog requires a medium touch, and the hard dog requires a firmer touch.

You poorly serve the dog — in any of the categories — when you see them for anything other than what they truly are.

PS, just to make it more fun, dogs can occupy different states and truly be soft, medium, or hard, depending on the circumstances — and a moment later be something altogether different. Fluidity and control of your own state, that responds instantaneously and properly to the state of the dog being expressed in the flux of the moment is the mark of the wise, healthy, and harmony maintaining owner.

Mental gymnastics....

Now, balanced trainers ARE ALSO force-free trainers?!?!
It must be a lovely world in their heads.

Olympic level here.

We may be able to save their dogs, but... not sure if they are the same.

Basic obedience with my Rottweiler #dogtrainer #rottweiler

Minnie is going to be my helper today with client dogs. She is very excited because she knows her travel bag means we are going to do something together. I briefly take her through the steps before loading her into my car. Admittedly, I repeat, commands a few times and say extraneous words which I tell my clients constantly not to do. A good Dog Trainer is self-aware and learns from their mistakes with humility versus defending and making excuses for not giving the most of their effort at all times or working on achieving to do so. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #thedogsavant #balancedtraining #positivereinforcement #yorkshireterrier

Rottweilers (and most dogs) love to chase, bite, and tug. Your dog is hard wires to be a hunter and killer. Not a fur-baby! #dogtraining #rottweiler #furbaby
