The difference between being “the boss” and being a “leader” is respect.

We hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend…and would thank all those men and women that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

Jake and Ruby would like to remind y’all to spend time this weekend with your furry friends…and to remember to take breaks from the sun and stay hydrated.

That K9 should’ve never been in the field. It was stressed coming into the environment, and the only thing the “handler” did was make it worse. This occurred about 3 months ago and I’ll I can find is the sheriff’s department said it’s “under investigation”. Under investigation? Here, let me solve it for you. First, fire the idiot officer…if he’s that forceful with something that he’s is suppose to be bonded with, I’d hate to see what he does in other situations. Second, remove the dog from service until it can be properly retrained or accessed to determine if its temperament is fit for work. Third, reevaluate the trainer/supervisor that cleared this dog/handler combo to be in the field. If they fail…see step number 1.

We're all getting quite used to being mistreated by the Police, but it smarts especially bad when they act like as****es to their K9 companions. This dude ge...

Question….

What is your dogs love language?

If my human followers could help me out with a poll, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Should Veterinarians have the same standard of care as doctors? What I mean by that is, should they disclose all possible complications/side effects with any procedure/medication they recommend? Whether it be something as simple as flea/tick medications to spay/neutering to extensive long term care.

I’ve said it a 1,000 times and I’ll say it until I can’t say it anymore…submission through fear isn’t submission, it’s avoidance. This dog did not submit and trust. Instead, he shut down out of fear of how the “trainer” was going to respond. At that point, all the normal triggers disappear because of the dogs tunnel vision towards the trainer. There is a HUGE difference between letting an aggressive dog know his actions aren’t going to work on you, than forcing him to keep living it until he submits.

Remember when walking and dealing with anxious and low confident dogs, the only way to address it correctly is to approach it from both directions…human AND dog. During those tense moments, how you feel internally, he/she will show it externally. You need to build the dog’s confidence in him/her self, but also the person holding the other end of the leash. If you’re in a constant state of nervous energy, it’s going to be hard for the dog to be confident in themselves or you.

I can NOT express enough how excited I am for this. Remi came to me 1 year and 7 months ago with her issues. She has had several interested fosters but she just didn’t interview well. The same trust issues that brought her here, made it hard for people to form any attachment of her. Basically, because of that, she didn’t interview well. I am SUPER excited to see her continued to thrive in a new home. Enjoy your new home Remi!!!

Having a heart to heart with Bear today about my expectations at Lowe’s. He has trust issues around new people, which has created some learned behaviors. Today he worked on not letting those learned behaviors control his obedience and trust in public.

I am well beyond being proud of this guy. He has come a long way in his behavior and I can’t wait for this guy to thrive in a home of his own. He is up for foster and adoption.

This a video of introducing Finneas (smaller white dog) to Wyatt for the first time. Finneas came to me EXTREMELY under socialized. Enjoy the video!

Force and dominance are NOT the same thing…only one of these leads to submission. Therefore, submission by fear, isn’t submission.
