Leash laws mean the dog is under control at all times. I see off leash dogs, with great recall, in public all the time. I've seen trainers in public spaces let go of the leash to train the "stay". None of this is ok. It doesn't matter how well your dog does off lead. What matters is that the law states they need to be in your control with the leash attached. Respect public spaces. We all need to follow the rules.

Positive reinforcement focuses on increasing desired behaviors, while negative punishment focuses on decreasing undesired behaviors.

Positive reinforcement adds something good, while negative punishment takes something good away.

Positive reinforcement is giving your a dog a treat for sitting, looking at you.
Negative punishment is taking away the privilege of sitting on the couch or putting up their food because they are resource guarding.

You cannot train a dog with positive reinforcement only! Don't overthink the terms punishment, negative. They are scientific terms to explain how to modify behavior. Our dogs do not think abstract as we do. We tend to be stuck in the grey area, dogs are very "black or white".

Think more like your dog. Communicate more like your dog. You'll start bringing that kind of thinking into your human life and be thankful for it 🤎🐾

Trigger warning! It's a good ending 🤗 We tend to blame the breed. Some breeds do have higher prey drive and will have a quicker reaction and intolerance to "bad dog manners". But if you watch carefully, you will see the white dog reacts first. It doesn't mean the white dog is at fault. It just means the brown dog rose to the challenge/reaction (fear). Dogs are dogs. The best we can do is be prepared for the worst. Picking up the dog could have made it worse or could have saved it from latching on. Dog fights suck and are super scary. One thing you can do is to ALWAYS carry a slip lead or have one close. Carry them on you on walks as a secondary tool to grab up an off-leash dog. **Don't blame the breed **Don't allow your dogs off leash. **Always be present even if you have an underground containment system. Underground systems don't prevent strange dogs from walking on your property or from your dog leaving. **Thank your Amazon drivers for all they do🐾🤎

Please send support for her husband and family if you are able. Bullies need to stand down. There are so many who affect very beautiful and sensitive people who only want to save one animal at a time. I've seen it personally and from afar. Stop the bullying. We need the kind hearted people. This is tragic and preventable. Please reach out to me if you ever need to talk, text or just breathe. We're never alone even though it feels like we are. The bullies don't matter but you do 🐾💔

My boys are used to riding with me most the time but I've been leaving them home. Much safer. Just a few minutes can be deadly.

It's too hot for your dog in this weather! Keep them inside, minimal outside time, and keep walks early in the morning and later in the evening after the sun is no longer heating up the sidewalks and roads.

Our dogs want to play and run no matter how sick it might make them feel. Heatstroke can do irreparable harm.

If your dog does get sick, don't cool them down too fast. Never pour water over them or submerge them. A cooling mat, a cool floor and a fan can help them slowly lower their body temperature. And always call your trusted veterinarian for advice. We have urgent care veterinarians in our area and your vet should have a resource to call if they are not open.

Treat the heat as though it's a snow storm. It's safer to keep them in and busy with mental stimulating toys than being outside.

I had a new client recently ask me to watch her walk her dog so I could tell her what she's doing wrong.

You're not doing anything "wrong". Handling and communicating with your dog is on a spectrum. There's no right or wrong, just different. Trial and error is always our goal.

We forget that dogs don't speak human but we can learn to speak dog.

Focus on body language and play instead of talking and see how much your relationship changes 🐾

Baldur LOVES to play even though his drive is lower. He'll carry around his toys after our play sessions. It is an amazing bonding experience each time we play with his retrieval toys.
