Kasie's K-9 Corrections Helping improve the canine/human bond thru confidence building exercises and positive reinforcement!

While some of the dogs reactions are pretty funny, this is a terrible trend that is just asking to get your face bit. Please stop doing these things to your dogs. "I don't know why my dog attacked me, it came out of nowhere" right?

I had a trainer once try to dissuade me from *trick* training asking me, what is the purpose? Why do u want your dog to sit? Is it really necessary? Is it good for them?

Well, the purpose is simple. It's fun and engaging for your dog. *Most dogs want to please you (haven't you noticed) and by teaching simple *tricks, you are building your relationship with your dog. They will want to listen to you, and engage with you more than all the distractions because they know it's fun and rewarding for them.

I challenge you to take your dog for a walk right now like normal, then spend 10-15 minutes a day playing with your dog, teaching it a new *trick and then go for a walk. See if you notice a difference in your dogs level of interest in you on the walk. Now try doing that trick a few times while on the walk. (When there is nothing else going on first, later when there are more distractions). Did you notice anything different?

“If you correct a dog for going nuts in the crate it’ll hate the crate”

“If you correct a dog for staring at another dog with intent to harm, it’ll think the other dog did it and make things worse”

“If you correct your dog for anything they will shatter like fine china and you will go straight to hell!!”

They’re definitely smart enough to know the consequence is directly connected to whatever behavior they are displaying in the moment.

Anyone who thinks otherwise isn’t giving dogs enough credit.

Training is not a "quick fix" or a "permanent solution". It's a lifelong commitment. Don't assume that your dog "knows" what it should/shouldn't do and will follow that for the rest of their lives. They are much like children and if they can get away with it once, why not try it again? Training has to be maintained or it will fall apart. I've watched it happen in my own household when I have gotten lax on things. Dogs will be dogs!

A month ago this guy was facing euthanasia. After 4 months of being at the shelter and terrorizing the staff, I was brought in to see if I could assess his aggression.

What I found was a very scared dog who just needed a little patience and understanding. So I drove 45 minutes to him each week and worked with him for a couple hours to assess his triggers and work him thru them.

I am happy to say that as of 8/16, this sweet boy has been adopted! Congratulations Ray and family!

As with all dogs from shelters, I will continue to support them thru their new journey.

So, I'm considering turning my business into an non profit resource for shelters, since that is the direction it has headed. I don't do this for the money anyways, but I feel like I could reach more people and save more lives that way, which is what I really want.

The pup in the Pic is one of 2 dogs at a shelter in my area in need of rescuing. I'm currently in the process of doing evaluations on both dogs, followed by socialization and desensitization. I will being doing specific posts regarding each dog later on in this process.

Sadly, alot of shelters lack the time and resources to properly train their staff on animal behavior and handling. They are trained how to safely capture and restrain animals yes, but not to read their body language or work them thru their issues. When a dog is adopted out, it's best of luck to the owners. If they are struggling, the shelter doesn't help them, they just take the dog back and adopt it out to the new family.

I'm not pointing these things out to make shelters look bad, at the end of the day they are doing their jobs how they have been told to. It's merely to touch on a few reasons why I'm leaning towards doing this. I have already partnered with different shelters on ways to help pre and post adoption, I just want to keep going that way.

Let me know what you think the pros and cons of this idea is and anything other comments you have!

Have you ever "accidentally " trained your dog to do something really annoying? You may have without even realizing.
Today I realized I may have taught my neurologically challenged dog that the fridge opening is the most exciting event ever, akin to getting new toys. Which means he comes running and barking like a bat out of hell 9/10 times when I open my fridge. No one else, just me.
🤦‍♀️ Oops

For those against crate training...

Meet Coco. He is a little pup that just spent a week running unfamiliar streets after he escaped while on vacation. He was absolutely terrified. He had to be trapped because he was in complete flight mode and trusted no one.

Upon getting him inside out of the rain and hail and giving him a bath to remove weeds and bugs, it was time to let him just decompress. The problem? He wouldn't settle down. It was pacing and looking for an escape, still in flight mode. He eventually cuddled up to me but when I had to leave the room, it was back to pacing, sniffing the door and scratching at it, despite my son still being in the room.

I had to leave and even tho my son would be with him, I didn't feel comfortable leaving him out and about so I set up a spare kennel in my son's room. I barely had it set up and the blanket in before Coco ran in and curled up. For the last 24 hrs, he has mostly laid in there, with the door open. He comes out when I come in the room and snuggles with me for a moment and then returns to the kennel, even if I'm still in the room.

My point is, this is quite obviously a safe space for him. It's not cruel or torture. When properly trained, applications like this are game changing.

A special thank you to Trisha Anderson, Tessie, Greg Holbrook, Karen, Chantel and everyone that helped capture and return this pup to his family! Your combined efforts are appreciated and made this possible!

Well said! Working in rescue rehabilitating "aggressive" dogs, they are stressed the entire time! While I try to minimize stress where I can, it's impossible to do so completely! So instead, I focus more on showing the dog that nothing bad is going to happen to them. It works better in my opinion than tip toeing around everything.

"Putting your dog in a crate is cruel"
"Train your dog better"
"Would you do that to your kids"

A few of people's ignorant comments in the dog world, yet....how much difference do you see in the pics below? We put our babies in cribs and playpens when they are little...why? To keep them SAFE, because we know that in REALITY we cannot watch them every second and it only takes one for something bad to happen. Dogs usually get enclosed kennels vs a playpen because they can jump or climb out quicker/easier than our human children can. The same people that call their dogs kids and wouldn't do something to their child ect are also the same ones that use cribs and playpens for their little ones. Oh, and leashing kids out in public for their safety.... Gosh, why don't you just teach your children better?

I've worked with dogs that have had horrendous pasts. It doesn't mean they don't deserve the freedom that training brings.

We need to change the narrative that giving dogs boundaries, structure, and leadership is somehow unkind. What is unkind is letting a dog that has had no direction continue to live a life of uncertainty.

Training equals freedom. A strong, reliable recall means a dog who can enjoy being off-leash. A dog with boundaries is a dog that isn't trying to figure out their role. A dog with consistency from their owner is a happy dog. A dog with structure isn't an anxious ball of nerves.

The fact that your dog is a rescue is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Focus on their future. Not their past.
