Allowed behavior = rewarded behavior

Of all the ways that problem behaviors snowball into truly ugly stuff, this is the big one.

Most folks, when they see problem behavior like to believe that it’s gotta be abuse, or neglect, or actually training the dog to be a problem. And while those examples obviously occur, they are absolutely eclipsed by the far more common, and usually unrecognized big kahauna of the problem-behavior-creation-world.

Whether it’s jumping on people, nipping people, dragging you on walks, going bonkers at the door, barking at anything and everything out the window, pacing and melting down in the car, exploding at other dogs on walks, growling at strangers, fence fighting, resource guarding, nuisance barking/whining/destruction, pushy/bratty behavior, and even begging.

All this stuff is a byproduct of allowance.

All you have to do is simply allow it to occur, give it some time and the ability to be practiced, and you’re off and running down crazy dog lane.

Or, you take notice of behaviors you find undesirable and/or unhealthy, and you address them. You do so by applying proper
punishment consistently, and in no time, you’ll start to see the problem behavior lessen and lessen, until finally, if done right, it just up and disappears.

So next time you’re banging your head against the wall because of your dog’s frustrating and/or dangerous behavior, just remember, if you’re not doing anything to stop it, you’re absolutely complicit, and an active partner in training it.

🚗🐾 Traveling with your dog? Don’t skip the crate.

We all want our dogs to ride shotgun, but the safest spot for your pup in the car is crated and secured. In the event of an accident, an unrestrained dog can become a dangerous projectile — to themselves and others.

📊 According to a study by the AAA & Kurgo:
• A 10 lb dog in a 50 mph crash exerts 500 lbs of force.
• A 60 lb dog? That’s 2,700 lbs of force — enough to cause serious injury.
• Only 16% of pet owners currently use proper safety restraints while driving with pets.

A sturdy, crash-tested crate secured in your vehicle is the gold standard for safety. If crating isn’t possible, a crash-tested harness or dog seatbelt is the next best option.

💡Ruffland Kennels, Gunner Kennels, & Dakota Kennels are great options! Check out our Amazon link for our harness & seatbelt recommendations!

In the chaos of everyday life—deadlines, phones buzzing, never-ending to-do lists—one of the simplest ways to protect your mental health is right at the end of your leash.

Just 30 minutes, 2–3 times a week walking your dog has been shown to:
🐾 Lower stress and anxiety
🐾 Boost your mood and energy
🐾 Reduce cortisol (your stress hormone)
🐾 Improve heart health and blood pressure
🐾 Get you outside and moving—without the gym

In fact, dog owners are 36% less likely to report feeling lonely, and they walk an average of 22 minutes more per daythan non-dog owners.

Your dog needs the walk—and you do too.
Not for the steps.
Not for the calories.
But for the clarity, the calm, and the connection.

So go outside. Breathe. Move.
It’s more than just a walk. 🐶🫶

✨ Let’s Talk About E-Collar Training ✨

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about e-collars—and we get it. The term can sound intimidating if you don’t know what it really means.

But here’s the truth:
✅ E-collars are not just about punishment.
✅ They’re not about zapping or hurting your dog.
✅ And they’re definitely not a shortcut for lazy training.

💡 What they ARE is a powerful tool for clear, consistent communication—especially at a distance. Think of it like a tap on the shoulder from across the field, gently reminding your dog to check in.

When used correctly and ethically, e-collar training is about:
🔓 Off-leash freedom
🧠 Better focus in high-distraction environments
💬 Clear, reliable communication between you and your dog

It’s all about building trust, confidence, and a stronger bond. Every dog deserves the freedom to explore safely—and every owner deserves the peace of mind that comes with reliable recall.

If you’ve ever been curious about e-collars, just ask!We’re here to guide you with balanced training methods that put your dog’s wellbeing first. 💛

With heavy hearts, we share that Randy’s father, Oneal, has passed away. Oneal was a man of quiet strength and steady purpose—always striving to do what was right and fair. He loved being outdoors, whether he was out in the garden, tinkering in the shop, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature. But more than anything, his love for Jehovah guided his life and left a lasting example for us all. He will be deeply missed. Thank you for your prayers, love, and patience as we walk through this time of loss.
