This is what it looks like!
This is what it looks like to watch a dog process information before it makes a decision.
At this point, there’s many parts of your dogs brain having a conversation with each other. They are coming together to measure distance, intensity, threat, the energy is will take to reach a reward or consequences ass well as deciding if there is a better options for the budget!
This is the we time do not want to disrupt your dog. This is the time you allow your dog to make the decision. Create distance, so your dog is alone in this process.
If you disrupt your dog from processing information, your dog will never change the way feels about that information.
Disclaimer: please make sure if you’re allowing your dog to make decisions. We do it in a place that safe! A human reactive, dog off leash and fifth Avenue is not what I’m talking about

That moment you realize it’s a little more than clickers and trading food.
Resource guarding is one of the most complicated behaviors to work with right next to separation anxiety. In many cases its genetic.
It’s not about hand feeding, it’s not about trading food, And most importantly it’s not about doing one or two exercises.
I’ve never had 2 resource guarding cases the same. Take it serious and see if professional. And if you are a professional don’t take a case unless you know what you’re doing

If you want to let your dog sleep in bed with you let your dog sleep in bed with you.
If you think it’s gonna change the relationship maybe it will maybe it won’t. But if I think of the reasons why I shouldn’t have a dog sleep in bed with me none of them really have to do with behavior with exception of Resource guarding.
We need to remember that spatial boundaries bring Clarity the social awareness. So if your dog does not have clarity …like it’s resource guarding, Among other things. Then maybe it’s not a good idea.
We need to realize that every dog is different, every relationship is different, and there’s no absolutes for anything

Your dog is not protecting you!
This is not easy for us to hear. If you feel your dog is protecting you the very likely your dog needs help. If you want your dogs to still protect you this is a huge investment you’re gonna have to make and you need to realize there’s a major risk. All that money to be thrown away with one simple incident and your dog will never attack in cue again.
If you do decide to make an investment in teaching your dog to perform these behaviors then just remember your dog is doing it because it wants to do it. Nothing protective about it.
Since I don’t believe in absolutes I will say that there are rare cases where dogs will naturally perform these behaviors and be great at it. But what most people don’t understand is how rare these cases are

There’s so much extreme from one to another and misinformation from so many trainers. It’s not black-and-white. What’s good for one dog is not may be the best for another.
If you have a happy dog that you don’t need to train and everything’s perfect then do whatever you want.
If for some reason you need to motivate your dog for any reason what so ever. Then you may want to take some things into consideration.

Is your dog being disobedient?
The question actually is..is dog being disobedient or is your dog trying to tell you something?
Anytime you give a dog a cue for behavior the dog will always give you information back. It is your decision to listen to your dog or not
Is there Clarity, motivation, fear, is your dog comfortable with what you’re asking?
When your dog does not respond to a cue Our first thought should be why?
It is important to think of cars before applying consequence.
In this post Saga was trying to tell me she just wasn’t comfortable not that she didn’t wanna do it

Is this training or managment?
Dogs are always learning. So what is the dog learning from the specific situation if anything?
In this context at what point does the learning occur?
It’s important to understand that dogs do not learn from the pressure they learn from the release of the pressure! No different than people!
By cutting off the circulation of a stressful dog I am very likely adding stress to a already stressful situation. This does not mean I will not do this. However I will be very specific on when I apply and when I release the pressure/tension (stress)
Adding stress to a dog like this may keep you safe. It’s necessary! But it’s better to avoid these circumstances so you could alleviate stress rather than add it.
But unfortunately dog training is not always butterflies and sunshine. So sometimes it is not possible

Sometimes it’s as simple as duration and distraction.
Teach a dog to relax in every environment.
Food can be a powerful reward. However it can also be something that simply just makes your dog feel better and relax

When you play with your dog is your dog playing with you?
Are you manipulating a genetic response the dog has to an item? Or is the dog enjoying personal play with you and the item is nothing without your involvement?
How do you know? See if your dog will play with you without the toy. Then see if your dog will play with you in different environments!
A dog won’t play unless a dog feels good. Now you have something you can measure

Punishment has its time and place.
If your dog is stressed out adding stress will likely not help the situation. It could suppress the situation. But if we’re going to suppress a dog then let’s all be honest and let’s call it what it is.
I have no issues suppressing behavior if that’s going to better the owner and dogs life.
If I’m going to punish a dog I’m not punishing an emotion. I’ll help the dog feel better. Plain and simple
Obviously exceptions to everything

Helper dogs!
Many trainers like to use helper dogs. A helper dog should have a neutral temperament.
The helper dog should know not to engage with the other dog
Using the wrong dog for a helper dog could create frustration and make things worse not better
It is very far from just putting one dog in front of another.
Hate to break it to everybody. I’m not every dog is a good helper dog.

10/29/2021

Why should your dog listen to you?
Do you listen to your dog?
Are you constantly disagreeing with your dog?
Do you ever advocate for your dog?
Do you give your dog consequences when your dog does not have clarity?
Sometimes understanding could help with patients

When it comes to rewarding a dog for good decisions you want to make sure you allow them to make the decisions.
Disrupting the dog from making a decision and then rewarding it does not have the same effect as allowing a dog to make the decision themselves

At some point to get dogs life an another dog will run over! So what do you do?
I put Saga and myself in situations where is likely an office dog will run over to us because we are at off leash hours in the park.
Life is going to happen whether I like it or not so the best thing I could do is introduced to my puppy that an off leash dog running over is not a threat and it’s not a bad thing.
By doing this when the time comes and the dog is a threat I can focus more on the threat rather than my own dog.
It also gives me a chance to rehearse call me my dog off of another.
Be mindful their is fall out to this because a dog on a leash watching other dogs off leash could create frustration

Can affection lead to bad behavior?
Of course not! However affection not applied properly would lead to lack of clarity. And guess what! Lack of clarity and expectation can lead to bad behavior!
Some dogs will thrive with more affection and some dogs well not.
No your dog and give a healthy amount of affection to your dog at appropriate times and place

For behavior modification of Borden train should be at least 4 to 6 weeks if not more. There’s nothing wrong with the weekend board and trains for simple obedience but don’t get fooled out there.
If you’re offended by this post feel free to contact me!
The only board and train that I recommend a New York City is They have a great team there!

Let’s simplify it!
Dogs do not speak verbally! Your welcome!
If you want your dog to understand what you say then what you say has to predict something. IE:Dinner, out, ball, park, etc. Allow your words to predict the body language. This way you can eliminate the body language because your dog will understand the words.
If you’re not sure what words your dog knows then sit on your hands and speak to your dog. Send me a message and let me know how that went over!🙌🏻

Incase you didn’t know…I officially present to you my new pup SAGA!

Saga by definition means, a long story of heroic achievement with different “chapters” to the story. Saga will be the next chapter of my training journey. Taking the torch from Nala to continue her work with me. Keeping my story going with working with dogs and having an amazing helper dog by my side. Both dogs are a saga in my life personally and professionally.
