Helping dogs to experience a settle mentally after sessions is an extremely underrated and surprisingly easy things to practice with dogs. Being able to capture and mark it with a name so that it can take on that association is especially helpful for high energy, fearful and or anxious dogs
Things are simple, efficient, effective, and overall far less stressful when you have dogs that understand what you are telling them and want to listen to what you are telling them
.
📍This is what we provide
LOTS of details covered in the latest subscriber video that I just posted. Here’s a sneak peak. This video was Cookie’s very first socialization with the group and she was a dog that could not see another dog without going bananas
.
📍Some of the things covered included details of the punishment cycle and taking advantage of what is meaningful to the dog. For cookie prolonging the reconciliation and her not being able to enter my personal space after she made a choice to go after two different dogs was very meaningful to her. Prolonging the punishment event was the start to her really beginning to think about the choices that she made because she was now being held accountable for them
.
📍Additionally helping her to move on after that is a missing piece of the puzzle that unfortunately results in many dogs staying “stuck” and not enjoying the outing vs understanding that the crappy part was just because of the choice that she made and the rest of the outing is actually a ton of fun if you make good choices
.
📍And for any of those saying that something like this would result in me ruining the dog or her not being able to learn or whatever other bs you read on the internet….you clearly haven’t been watching the stories that I have been posting so I’ll be sure to post an update showing you where she is and how she’s currently progressing (she’s practically a different dog that’s opening up more and more every day)
Taking a dog that couldn’t even see another dog without going bananas, to getting her to not only coexist but actually begin to feel differently about other dogs and prepare her to live with another one that she previously wouldn’t have gotten along with….well let’s just say that drugs and cookies weren’t apart of what are creating the results that are currently being shared and unfolding before our eyes.
Here’s a truth bomb for true dog lovers
.
📍Providing dogs with a lifestyle that allows them to problem solve and not deprive them from the learning that comes from allowing them to make both good and bad decisions, is where real growth and confidence comes from. Many folks are struggling because they don’t understand the power of accountability and have been duped into believing that dog ownership is merely about love, cookies and their own selfish emotional desires
.
📍The moment that we begin to consider what our canine companions need and our role that is crucial in actually improving their overall quality of life (instead of keeping them stuck) is the moment that you begin to see real change In the dog in front of you. It’s the moment that we stop making excuses and blaming their behavior on stories of the past.
Lots of new subscriber vids recently posted breaking down how we progressed with the group of resource guarders individually and then together so that they helped one another. More on the way but here’s a sneak peak.
New York City is simply a different animal
.
📍Even the more quiet parts of the city (what you see in this video) can be a huge challenge for many dogs. Helping them develop the skillsets necessary to allow them to benefit from exposure like this is crucial.
Part 3: Helping resource guarders to feel more comfortable with/around one another, around resources, while allowing them to make choices so that they can learn from both good and bad choices

Dog Why would a dog listen to you off leash if it doesn’t listen to you on leash?
.
📍 In short, off leash behavior in many cases starts o leash. The dogs that “do better off leash” are simply making different choices without your influence. At the end of the day nothing changes bc if your dog chooses to make a less than ideal choice, you will find yourself just as helpless as you do when your dog is acting that way on leash
.
📍Hope this helps.
Just a continuation of the last two subscribers videos that I posted earlier today. This is the building process. In this vid we started getting Cash out with my Bou’s Max and Kilo. Along with this I brought out my breakfast and showed what that looked like
.
📍Second vid showed the difference in rules when I was done and Zach arrived
