Gadgets and gimmicks don’t train dogs.

People train dogs.

Or they don’t.

That “no pull” harness isn’t doing a thing to teach your dog to walk calmly with you. Don’t waste your money.

Slow feeder bowls? Float your pup’s food in water and they’ll not only slow down, but their food will digest better. They’ll p**p more predictably too. Oh and water is essentially free.

Baby gates? What’s the dog learning from that? If you don’t want them in a certain area, teach them not to go there. It’s free.

Gentle leader? First off, it’s NOT gentle. Secondly, doesn’t work if it’s not on the dog. Can be used for training, but you have to train using specific protocols or else… Your dog knows they’re not wearing one.

Same for prong, choke and electronic collars. They are just tools to help you achieve a training result. They are NOT the solution to the problem of having an untrained dog.

We got my dog a playmate…

One of those dreaded things I sometimes hear.

But why?

Well, it implies an almost unrivaled level of K9 incompetence.

I don’t blame the average person for their ignorance.

The world, especially online is FULL of wive’s tales and straight up bad information about dogs these days.

Your untrained dog doesn’t need another untrained dog to be their “playmate”.

Just trust me on this before you make a tragic mistake.

If you’re thinking about it, call me, please, so we can talk about it in detail.

P.s. this cute puppy has nothing to do with the story that prompted me to write this 🙂

Nice to hear from Rosie’s Mom today. She’s doing great by all accounts. Surely wasn’t an easy one, with an unsocialized rescue pup being adopted by first time dog owners, but we solved it together. Good girl Rosie.

All healthy relationships require boundaries.

Whether it’s with your kids, your significant other, your friends or your dog, all healthy relationships require boundaries.

Emphasis on the world “healthy”.

Boundaries keep everyone in a relationship safe, healthy and happy.

Perhaps the hardest place in life to set boundaries is with your loved ones.

Kids especially.

And dogs.

But we’ve all seen what happens when we avoid this important aspect of relationship building.

Now add the fact that your dog doesn’t speak English. In fact, he doesn’t speak human, or even primate for that matter. He speaks canine, which is an entirely different scheme.

You can’t set clear, concise, consistent boundaries if you can’t communicate.

There’s no Rosetta Stone for human / dog interaction.

But there are interpreters that can help you learn.

Call a dog trainer today if you’re struggling.

Doesn’t have to be me.

Just get some help so you and your buddy can get on the same page.

Learning to communicate effectively is step one to boundary setting.

A closed door is a boundary, but it depends on someone closing the door.

A fence is a boundary, as long as there are no holes.

Teaching your dog boundaries is probably the #1 thing to do to help keep them safe. It’s easy if you know how.

Don’t worry about teaching your puppy to sit, lay down or give paw.

Teach them boundaries and how to come to you when you call 100% of the time.

Safety first.

Love great videos from past clients. Best part, I taught Tommy to train Sally for anything. We didn’t work on this specific trick, but… Tom knows how to break it down and reinforce it! Great work!

Drugs or training? Both, possibly? If you, or a family member have ever suffered from anxiety and reached out for help from a professional… Virtually 100% of the time, if they prescribe meds, they also prescribe training (aka therapy). The question is - in what order should you do these things? Should you attend training and use drugs only if they’re helpful? Or Start with drugs, attend training and fade the drugs out? (This is often the suggestion) Or Do what a lot of people do with themselves, their dogs and their kids… Start and end with medication… Most of the people I work with that have already medicated their dogs report little to no improvement in their behavior. In fact, they wouldn’t be calling me if the drugs alone had solved the problem(s). My question is - why not start out with some quality training, rather than running immediately to the vet for drugs? Most of the problems are annoying, but not dangerous or life threatening to either the owner, or the dog. A solution might be as simple as a few lifestyle changes, or spending some quality time with your dog training together. So why did you choose addicting your dog to drugs instead of making a few simple changes? Here's 90 seconds of Tucker's rehabilitation. He's on doggie Prozac. Does it look like it's working? Watch him change and how we promote calmer behavior. In just a few trials, we had his barking down to 0. This is just the beginning, but this IS NOT anxiety. It's bratty, learned behavior that can easily be stopped with positive reinforcement training and some patience.

Playing with your dog is a fun way to utilize positive reinforcement and teach new behaviors. Max is just learning to lay down on command. You can see he’s not yet 100%

Working on taking Rory to the next level for therapy work and farm life. After some pretty extensive training, including a board and training program, Rory wasn’t at her best, so I’m helping her owner bring her up a few notches. Recall is on point now and heel position is improved dramatically after a few meetings. And YES, before someone complains that Rory looks “flat”. She’s supposed to be flat in this exercise. She’s a therapy dog. She shouldn’t be in drive, prancing as if she’s in competition. We’re gonna do that too, but not yet 🙂

Love getting messages like this one: “Grabbed my work bag and Arlo put himself in the crate and laid down…. After one day.” This is from a friend and former client who’s now in Texas, raising a second pup… Having been through a training program with a local person, she’s in contact with me to clean things up and get them rolling in the right direction. Arlo wanted to refuse being crated and stay on the couch when we had our last lesson, so we handled it, and now… We get this result after a few repetitions yesterday. Your dog can be easier to live with. This is my “before” footage of Arlo. But it’s some other trainer’s “after”. I’m here to help if you’re struggling.

Why I Coach Dog Owners

There are a lot of myths about dog ownership and training.

These days, with Google being the dog trainer’s biggest competitor, anyone, qualified or not, can say almost anything about how to train a dog and make it sound convincing.

You can become a “certified” dog trainer in 6 weeks, without touching a dog!
