I teach owners how to get their dog to want to make great decisions through a solid relationship foundation.

I owe it to myself and to my business to at least show that I exist. I live with dogs, work alone, run my business alone...

I owe it to myself and to my business to at least show that I exist. I live with dogs, work alone, run my business alone. The majority of my life is spent with myself and dogs, very little human interaction. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy to remove myself from social interaction in person and online. But that’s not an ideal decision.
This is me pushing myself to show that I exist. That I’ve been working hard helping dogs behind the scenes. Working hard to take care of the property I recently bought thanks to Saige. Saige’s Farm is the name of our place. I painfully miss her every single day.
Anyway, here’s some photos of “life lately” like the cool kids call it when they post a montage of photos and videos.
The story I promised yall is still coming, most probably don’t even know what I’m talking about but this post is to get me unstuck and then tell some stories next.

If I hadn’t done this for Saige and Angel back when I got my Belgian Malinois puppy Javelin. I guarantee they would’ve HATED him and they likely would’ve hurt him. Puppies can’t help but be rude. They don’t understand personal space and they believe every piece of food and every item is THEIRS. They’re just babies. Unless you have the freak of nature adult dog that just absolutely LOVES puppies to no end then you’re setting yourself up for failure by letting the new puppy (or new adult dog) have constant access to your original OG dog.

Leash length matters more than people think. Reactivity isn’t always about “bad behavior.” Sometimes it’s about feeling stuck.

On a tight 6-foot leash, dogs often feel trapped. When movement is restricted, the nervous system shifts toward defense; fight or flight. That frustration builds pressure.

Give them a little more freedom (like a 15-foot line), and you reduce that pressure. Choice creates curiosity. And a curious brain can learn. A defensive brain can’t.

If the only way your dog listens is when you get louder, it usually means the lesson didn’t quite stick yet. Dogs learn ...

If the only way your dog listens is when you get louder, it usually means the lesson didn’t quite stick yet. Dogs learn best the same way kids do — through clear instructions, practice, and positive feedback, not by turning up the volume. When voices get loud, everyone (dogs and humans) can feel a little stressed, and stressed brains don’t learn very well. If “sit” only works when it’s shouted, then the shout became the cue — not the word. A strong foundation means your dog understands you even when you speak calmly, because the teaching was clear from the start.

Friendly reminder: dogs are domesticated predators, not stuffed animals. This is normal, healthy, species-appropriate behavior.

Saige was my biggest behavior plot twist.
Before 2 years old, she loved other dogs.
By 3… she decided most of them were beneath her existence 😅
Besides intact males, those were the only ones she truly enjoyed. Flirty as all hell with them and demonic with all the rest.

That wasn’t bad training — that was DNA talking.
So instead of trying to “fix” her personality, I learned to respect it.
She learned self-control, boundaries, and how not to put teeth holes in dogs she didn’t like…
but she was still allowed to not like other dogs if that’s how she felt.

Growth doesn’t always mean changing who you are —
sometimes it means learning how to live with it responsibly.
