This super sweet, well trained boy had been through our 6 week program at the end of last year, and due to unfortunate circumstances with his owners health is now looking for a new home. He is a two year old neutered purebred Rottweiler. He loves other dogs, and does well with children, but would perfer he go somewhere with breed experience. He's very energetic, but easy to handle, and absolutely lives to please his human. Please send a direct message or text to 803-944-0991 if seriously interested.

Astro is a loving 3.5 year old large mixed breed boy. He's a very laid back and gentle guy who is super social and adores his people. He does great with other dogs of all sizes and children. He is crate/house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is quickly learning his basic obedience commands. He would make an ideal low maintenence companion for just about any family!

Last minute plans? We still have two openings for boarding this week!

06/27/2024

Meet our new foster pup, Brownie(Shiver), from The Animal Protection Leauge. This sweet 7 year old Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier has spent 5 years of his life in the shelter! It's hard to understand why when this boy is just a bundle of sweetness who deserves his own loving home. He just adores people including children although a home with really young children might be a bit much for him. He is great with other dogs of all sizes. He's still a very energetic senior guy and loves to socialize, play tug, and fetch. We are teaching him house manners, leash skills, obedience, and he already does fabulous in a crate. I'm really hoping we can connect him with a forever person of his own, but unfortunately he was recently diagnosed diabetic, requiring a special diet and insulin shots every 12 hours. Although that is a big commitment to sign up for, the cost of his care is repayed 10 fold with the outpouring of unconditional love and affection from this sweet soul. At the very least I'd love to get him situated in a long term foster home, so we can continue helping the other long term residents like him bust out of the shelter and find their best life!

Dog trainers don’t possess any magic. What they do possess, if they’re good at their craft, is a highly developed set of skills. But remember, at one point they knew very little, and likely got into this line of work because they were struggling with their own dogs.

So what’s the difference between a skilled and knowledgeable dog trainer and a struggling owner? Yep, you guessed it, skills and knowledge.

These people that you now hire for help were once struggling much like yourself. What did they do? They developed within themselves—likely with the help of another dog trainer—what was necessary to be able to solve their problems, and now, with all that ability, they help others with theirs’.

But, and this is a big but, all they can do is help. They can share information, teach skills, coach, and root you on—but only you can put in the work to take what is being shared and make it something personal, integrated, and useful.

You don’t have to become a dog trainer, but you do have to become a skilled, and knowledgeable owner—to whatever extent needed to match your goals.

Otherwise you’ll have to settle for watching your dog “magically” excel with your trainer, and “mysteriously” deteriorate with you.

Probably the most common issue(s) owners battle and lose with—and can’t figure out why. Also one of the most common stories/lies told by ignorant or deceitful dog trainers which contribute to struggling owners…continuing to struggle and not finding the answers they need. Let’s take a look.

1) Almost every owner I’ve worked with waits far too long to correct/punish/address reactivity on walks or in the house. It’s an easy mistake to make. The early signs are subtle to the untrained eye, and no one wants to unfairly correct their dogs. So folks wait too long, arousal builds, and then when they finally do address the issue the dog is too far gone (too deep in the escalation sequence) and the correction actually exacerbates the reaction, making it *appear* as if the correction was the problem/trigger, but it’s not the correction, it’s the timing. If owners would learn to see the very first signs of the problem (fixation, ears pricked up, closed mouth, breathing changes, stiffness/stillness of body, tail flagging etc.) and correct at this early stage firmly, most reactivity issues would simply disappear. The other option is to wait, and then correct once the reactivity sequence is in full swing which guarantees an explosion and possibly the bonus of a redirect bite.

2) You have an unhealthy relationship dynamic devoid of proper respect. This means that if you go to correct your dog your dog objects (often with their teeth) because you haven’t earned the position to be able to correct them. People want to make dogs out to be these simple creatures which respond to your inputs without any consideration for the primal aspects of hierarchy and earned position. That’s a good one. And it’s one propagated most by PP/FF trainers who are desperate to debunk/dismiss/deride observable reality as old school nonsense. They want to interact/train in a completely intellectual fashion—because the primal aspects of our relationship dynamics don’t fit well within the intellectual landscape/narrative/culture—or the preferred, but laughably ignorant reality where hierarchies simply aren’t a thing.

And if you’re really lucky, you’ve got both of these in play. Which means you have to fundamentally change your relationship in all the other moments where you can create positive relationship leverage and cause your dog to take you seriously and respect you. And you also have to start going after the tiniest moments of escalation far sooner and often far firmer.

It’s not the tools (unless you’re using ineffective tools) or the corrections which are the issue—we use them successfully every day with extremely challenging dogs—it’s the timing and the relationship that are the cause of the continuing issues. Fix these and you’re on your way to a completely different life with your dog.

Druid, 6 months old American Bully puppy, in public access training for service work at Walmart, demonstrating a hands-free loose leash walk.

Kash x Hazel 6 weeks update There will be 2 females available to compaion homes pending 2nd pick. I will be keeping 1 male, but until I can make up my mind, all 3 are up for discussion, would love to see them in an active show home, but they would also be ideal service prospects and/or companions. #americanbully #pocketbully #classicbully #bullypuppy #tricolor #purebred #puppy #puppylove #ukc #abkc #dogbreeder #showdog #servicedog #dogtraining #dogwalk #dogpark #dogdaycare #dogboarding #dogadventures #dogfriendly #packwalk #gooddog #doglife

Please share this one 💓 I feel like this is a must for all responsible breeders, and I'm shocked out how many are unfamiliar the process! Its so simple and the benefits are undeniable... Improved cardio vascular performance Stronger adrenal glands More tolerance to stress Greater resistance to disease In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations. Secondary effects were also noted regarding test performance. In simple problem solving tests using detours in a maze, the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined a great deal, and made many errors. Their stimulated littermates were less disturbed or upset by test conditions and when comparisons were made, the stimulated littermates were more calm in the test environment, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress sound when stressed.

***ADOPTABLE*** I still can't believe this precious pup is still waiting on his forever home. Ghost is a 9 month old male Boxer/Chihuahua mix(Embark DNA tested) weighs about 25lbs(mature 30-35) and has not been neutered yet. He's been health checked, completed his puppy vaccines, and is utd on preventatives. He was found under my old trailer in rural Louisiana(where dumping is a big problem) along with another puppy, likely littermates. Both were barely 5-6 weeks old, the other was super sweet, social and was rehomed quickly. Ghost was terrified of any human contact, new objects/places/sounds...everything really and essentially feral. I've worked very hard these past months to earn his trust, socialize him, and train him for success in a home environment...the months have stretched on and no one has been interested in giving this sweet shy guy a chance. He is well crate trained and house trained. Gets along phenomenally with dogs he knows well... he is very playful and tireless, but he does take some time to warm up to and trust new dogs. He does great with children of all ages, and is excited about but OK so far with cats. He walks well on a leash, has excellent house manners, and is familiar with basic obedience commands. He is still and will always be skittish of strangers and any new experiences but recovers and warms up quickly with guidance from a trusted person. He will come with his collar, leash, crate, supply of food, and next months preventatives. I will provide full training support for his lifetime. Vet reference required. This darling pup will only go to loving forever family. Please share!

If walking your dog means constantly being dragged, fighting barking or lunging at every other person or dog, and has become something you dread and/or avoid...do not despair! It's never too late to master the walk. Reach out to Dianna Miller 803-944-0991 if you're ready to get educated on how to achieve obedience and build a better relationship with your pet.

Happy New Year! 🎆 Esther is going into 2023 a new dog! She just completed 6 weeks of board and train and is celebrating back at home with a ton of new skills. The next board and train opening won't be until Jan. 26th, but I still have plenty of appointments for 1 on 1 coaching! You CAN change your pets behavior! Training for every breed, all ages!

PSA Please don't pet dogs in public! If you must, ASK first! This goes for pets as well as service dogs. A lot of puppies grow up to develop leash reactivity because they learn at an early age that every stranger they meet is going to give them affection, so they start to pull, jump, and lunge towards people and may end up barking and growling in frustration when they can't get to them. This means no more leashed greetings because of their now unruly behavior, and can devolve into full blown aggression on leash in what's naturally a very friendly dog. I am constantly shocked by how many people just walk up to pet the dog even with the vest. Don't be afraid to advocate for your pet. It is not rude to refuse someone to pet your dog!

Obedience session footage from Day 4 of Waylon's Board and Train. He is really catching on quickly!

Day 1 First focused obedience session with Waylon. His previous owners had already started teaching him Sit. In this 2 min clip we are continuing to build the sit as well as adding in the place command. First I lure him into a desired position with food and body language. I only say the command word, one time, as he actually begins to perform the behavior I'm looking for. He is not only rewarded for initially performing the desired behavior but I keep offering him a reward every few seconds he continues to hold the position and then purposefully encourage him to get up with the 'break' command, lots of excitement, and bigger reward. This is how I build the implied 'stay' so that he learns all commands are to be obeyed until released with 'break'.

Meet Piper. This sweet young lab is here for a 1 week Board and Train to work on her basic obedience commands, and nervousness/reactivity towards strangers. Here she is day 2 learning to go to and stay on 'place' . Her owners had already started some obedience training with her at home and it shows. She's eager to learn and progressing quickly.

At Conscious K9 we don't teach a 'Stay' command. Instead commands such as 'Sit' 'Down' and 'Place' are taught to always be held until released. Learning to hold the Sit can be the most challenging because the dog is not in as relaxed and settled of a position. We set the dog up for success with frequent reinforcement/short duration to start, then gradually increase the duration/reduce the frequency of the reward as we teach them what these new words mean, and the expectations that come along with them. This stage of training is all fun and games, building behavior through positive reinforcement and repetition. There are no wrong answers so the dog willingly learns and becomes eager to receive direction from and engage with his handler.

Building basic obedience commands this morning with Alex! This is the foundation of every board and train program we offer.

Great obedience session with Alex this morning! His first night of board and train went well, and he's eager to learn. We will have 1 min sit/stay and 1 min down/stay at 💯 in no time!

Private coaching client and her boxer/pitbull puppy Nova are blowing my mind 🤯 with their fantastic progress after just a few sessions. I can teach the skills but it's up to you the client to put it into practice. These two have been putting the work in consistently and it shows! 💯 #dogtraining

New board and train Sadie trying to figure out what the fuss is about?😂(Make sure your volume is up) My boy Clay was not happy about being left at home while we took a morning walk, and practiced patience on the porch. This super sweet girl is very reactive and has a lot of work left to do before they can walk together.
