It might sound weird, but dogs actually need to be taught how to relax. When we see high energy dogs with owners that are constantly stimulating them, whether with walks, toys, bones or affection, this is not fulfilling their needs, but rather creating a dog dependent on external stimulation. Odds are, they are destructive when left alone, cry in the crate (or are escape artists), they resource guard, or they are reactive.
It’s so important to encourage independent behavior that allows dogs to self-soothe without being reliant on you for entertainment. The result will be a more confident dog that can actually relax!

We are very upfront about the fact that we won’t work with owners who refuse to muzzle their dog that has a bite record. We typically lead with… muzzles are not a life sentence! And if conditioned properly (check out our last video) your dog will not only tolerate the muzzle very well, but usually even become excited when they see it!
Here’s why muzzles are so awesome:
1️⃣ Firstly, we can work with the dog with little risk which means safety concerns won’t hinder the training. We can get to the root of the issue, ensuring the trainers and other dogs are safe.
2️⃣ They teach the dog very quickly that their mouth doesn’t work. They are forced to find other alternatives to communicate that don’t involve biting.
3️⃣ It allows the dog to coexist in certain situations in which they would normally be crated or separated out, of fear of an incident. Therefore, muzzles actually improve quality of life (I think there’s a pattern here with equipment owners are typically against😅) and allow the dog MORE freedom, rather than being locked away or kept inside to avoid them getting into trouble.
99% of the time, if a client doesn’t want to use certain equipment, we accommodate and inform them of how it may limit their training and therefore the results, but muzzles are critical when training a dog that bites. Of course the disclaimer here is… like with all training tools, use the equipment properly and it won’t hurt your dog. Any of our clients who have used the muzzle with their aggressive dog can tell you it has been life changing!
If you’re interested in a rehab program or any other kind of training, don’t hesitate to reach out! We offer free consultations with our trainers to help you start coming up with solutions and talk about what training is the best fit for your needs. Link in bio to book📲

Roxy’s glow up🤩
Roxy just completed her 2 week board and train and we are so proud of her progress! We worked with Roxy when she was a puppy and were shocked by her temperamanet when she got here for her board and train. She was terrified and wouldn’t come near us! It took her about 3 days to decompress and warm up before we could start any training. Fast forward 2 weeks and she is a whole new dog! She still needs a lot of training with her owners to continue building her confidence, but she is eager to please and very motivated in her sessions, just look at that distracted recall!
Fearful dogs like Roxy require major boundaries and structure to thrive. We showed her exactly what is expected of her in all situations so that when she experiences things that would normally cause her stress, she can rely on her training and trust her owners to advocate for her. Instead of excessively panting and barking at everything around her when we leave the house, she knows a walking command, an auto-sit, and to check in with her handler. Instead of cowering in fear when new people enter her environment, she knows to go to her place, a safe zone for her to decompress.

3 tips to keep those paws off that Halloween candy and ensure your dog is safe from toxic ingredients like chocolate and xylitol👇
1️⃣ “Go” Command is used to create a boundary and tell your dog you want them to leave the area completely. We often use this for the kitchen and dining roommto prevent begging or snatching scraps of food off the floor.
2️⃣ “Out” Command is used to tell your dog to disengage from whatever they are focusing on and rengage with you. If they are focusing on candy or something on the counter, you can use the leash to guide them away and focus on you ans what you’re asking.
3️⃣ Use a long leash and measure the distance to be exact from the counter to wheever you can hide whether that’s the couch or in a hallway - somewhere your dog thinks you aren’t monitoring them. When they go to jump on the counter, give them a pop correction to show them they aren’t allowed to do that!
Happy Halloween and stay safe!🎃👻🐾
