Better Life Dog Training

I have the next two days off. I will be spending them with my kids and enjoying the moment. I think I'm going to take Hannah to go see Zootopia 2 tomorrow. Jackson is going to spend Thanksgiving with his girlfriend's family. That will leave me and Hannah at home to watch the Lions game. Enjoy it while it lasts everyone. Life is short.

Today's in home was with Finnegan on the left and Dolly on the right. Dolly was insecure and had trust issues. Finnegan was starting to pick up on that being one years old. Had to instill a little bit of boundaries with the humans and had to use the leash to apply a little pressure for Dolly to come and meet me to get some Lovins. Also had to help Finnegan out with the barking in the backyard with the neighbor dog and the neighbors. Took a nice walk as well.

Blind advice is dangerous, especially when giving advice about a dog you have never met, a person you have never met, and a home you have never been to. Why would a trainer give advice when they don't know the situation? If you ask me something, you have to call me because I have loads of questions, more than you do, I'm sure. Dog training groups just make me cringe. All these people giving advice to someone that has a question. Just irresponsible and dangerous. And most of the people giving advice looks like they just have one dog and they don't even train for a living. Then you have the people that agree and then the ones that disagree. What a freaking train wreck. Lots of know-it-alls out there. Trust me, they don't know it all. Neither do I.

Another fun-filled day of meeting a new family and helping them understand/train their dog. What's it going to be today? Big dog? Small dog? Multiple dogs? We shall see when I get there. I knock and then we go from there :-) Y'all have a super awesome day ❤️

I'm already thinking about summer pack walks.

To boop or not to boop, that is the question.

Dear Facebook algorithm, I am a mother/father of three young children. You keep showing me dog trainers who go to the agility course every day, using words about the quadrants of learning and clicking and treating or walking dogs through the mall or an extremely militant dog trainer teaching their Malinois to be a tip top tournament champion in obedience and to become a fierce protection dog. Please, all I need is a good-hearted and experienced dog trainer who understands that I don't need all that from my dog. I just want my dog to be calm and respectful when I want them to be. I don't need all that extra stuff. And to be truthful, I don't have the time to go through all of that and do all of that anyways. I also don't have the money to spend thousands training my dog. I don't want to be a professional dog trainer. I just want to be able to communicate effectively with my dog. I just want someone real and down to earth. Is that too much to ask? It's me. I'm the experienced, reality based dog trainer that keeps it simple.
