Thank you all for following on the journey I am on

If love only meant affection. No one would do anything really amazing.

Loving your dog to me means you provide them with what’s instinctually needed in order for them to be fulfilled (Happy)

It mean sacrificing your own emotional desires

Recent I asked a few family members who were entering my house to Ignore Penelope because I was addressing her excitement and jumping up into their space. (Which is disrespectful in the dog world)

Their response to me was “We aren’t going to ignore her we love her” but in fact what they were “Loving” (talking to, petting= affection) was a dog who was not only being disrespectful in the Dog world but was in a unbalanced way of being. “Too excited, jumping, rushing into their space”

The reality is what she is doing is not what a balanced dog would do. And from my experience if a dog is given the option of balance, they will choose that all day.

The reason she was doing what she did was because it was allowed in the past And she hasn’t been shown another way yet on how to greet people respectfully. (calm and respectful walking to and at the door)

If I were to walk into your house and You said “hey can you ignore my Child they are a little nervous of new people.” And I were to say “I’m
Not going to ignore them, I love them” and proceed to go talk to them, that would not be ok.

If I really love them, I’d respect what they really need. What is best for them. You aren’t telling me I shouldn’t talk to your kid because you don’t like me, your telling me because you care about your kid. And that, just like your dog, should come before anyones emotional desires.

Loving you do to me means you are fulfilling them and providing instinctual fulfillment before your own or anyone else’s emotions. Please understand I LOVE giving my dogs affection. (Playing with them, petting, “good boy/girl” and giving treats.) But I understand that you must do it at a right time so that it’s best for your dog.

I really hope you learned something and this was impactful! Have a great day and let me know if you have any questions!

Frustration.

This is a topic I have been blessed to talk about with many close friends and clients.

People sometimes feel frustrated with their dogs and even at time other peoples dogs. Even if they know it’s not the dogs fault, they still feel frustrated.

How do I deal with this?

So for starters I try my very best not to feel frustrated in other aspects or areas of my life. This helps me because the less I practice frustration and the more I practice calmness, the better I become with maintaining a calm and patient way of being.

Next when I feel my self feeling frustrated I say to my self “No” and then think about what I want to feel. Then just do.

I have found it also really helps to see what is going to happen before you do it. Visualize it. 👀

“I see my self calmly and assertively addressing the Dog for the behavior, and then I will wait calmly for them to start to settle”

This can be something you do if let’s say you feel frustrated with your dog not settling.

Know that when you feel frustrated you often are rushing the process or expecting something that isn’t happening. But people may not always expect the whole thing. ⬇️

How YOU will Feel, How YOU will react, or What YOU will do. If you skip right to whatever the dog is doing it can set you up to fail.

When you start doing this and you have the knowledge on what to do with the dogs, you will start being able to see it in your head much more clearer and you will enjoy the process of getting there to the goal no matter how long it will take.

Take your time and enjoy it. Your dog may even be here to teach you about patience. And I’ve found some people even benefit from acknowledging that they felt frustrated and used it as a reminder to come back to the now and relax.

How do you guys stay calm and confident? What do you do when you start feeling frustration.

Thoughts?

This was a really cool session.

Miss Lisa did amazing with teaching Axel place.

The End Goal is for miss Lisa to say “place” and Axel walk over and relax on the bed.

One way I teach people this is to first ☝️ Drain your dogs energy so that they are more in a resting recovery state of mind when you introduce them and bring them on the bed.

NOT when they are full of energy. If they are full of energy then having them go to a bed to Rest and Recover would make no sense to them because they have to drain energy.

Next I would sit some distance away from the bed but not too far. I would usually start by going to the end of the leash (just holding the handle or closer.) but this all depends on the dog.

Sometimes I stay closer And for Axel we could go further than the leash and just address when needed. We didn’t have to stay on him as much. This was also not his first time doing it either. First time we did he got on and just relaxed and laid down.

A dog who is testing out everything more I may stay closer to because I need to make sure my timing of when I disagree with them getting off of the bed is good.

I usually start moving further away when the dog stays there longer and is much more relaxed

With Axel he got it pretty quick because we introduced it correctly.

When I teach my clients how to disagree with the dog when they get off place I usually have them use any sound that makes them feel calm and confident and then Put the dog back onto the bed.

I’ll do a whole video with a puppy soon on how I go about this. This is just a gist of it.

Hope this makes sense! Please leave your questions or comments under! ⬇️

Fulfillment.

I wanna speak about this again in a different way than I have in the past.

When you get a dog it’s your responsibility to fulfill their needs.

Theirs needs are instinctual. They are nit bluffing they are not being a brat whenever they have energy and are “misbehaving” when they have energy.

It’s your job as their leader to guide them through life.

put it this way. You need to be a Tour Guide, Body Guard, and a Translator.

I think fulfillment doesn’t just mean draining the energy it’s fulfilling ALL the instinctual needs.

Dogs need a leader who will provide Direction, Protection, and Loyalty

If you only provide Direction & Protection but no loyalty it won’t last because you aren’t doing it for a long term relationship.

You come with all of those to accomplish what you want with the dog. My clear Intention no matter what specifics there are, it’s always to help the dog in anyway way I can. And the owners as well

What are you to your dog? And do you feel you provide & Direction, Protection, and Loyalty in their every day life.

What backpacks do I recommend?

I personally use the Wellver Dog backpack/Saddle back. (Like shown in the video. )

They are only 15 bucks and get the job done for me. However there are other brands and packs I see people use all the time. ⬇️

The brands are, One Tigress dog backpack, Cesar Millan dog backpack/saddle bag, as well as a few others you can find in amazon.

These are great form what I have seen used from other people. A client of mine uses one tigress and is awesome! I’ve yet to actually see in person the Cesar Millan Dog Backpack/Saddle bag. But I do see people use those too and I’m sure they’re great as well!

Backpacks allow you to add more challenge to your dog in many of the activities you do with them. Such as Scent work, Walking, Fetch, And even confidence building!

Just make sure you earn how to introduce the backpacks correctly so that you build trust Abd respect through the tool and they feel more comfortable with them! Make sure to consult your vet before using it!

If you have any comments or questions drop them in the comments!

What backpack do you use?

First things first ENERGY

Energy is who you are in the animal world. It’s how you feel and what you project.

You need to have Calm Confident energy to lead (give direction and protection) any dog.

MINDSET is super important to. Having the mindset of “I am going to stay here and help my dog accomplish balance” This helps me in a lot of ways and just gives an over all plan of what you are going to do.

Now PATIENCE. This is super important as well. The mindset allows you to be patient because you are going in saying what your going to do and feel to help your dog achieve balance with this item. (This is my mindset that is best for me going into any situation with dogs/animals in general!)

Stay patient & do your thing. Now you have the three tools needed that are needed that Aren’t Necessarily Physical, let’s talk about the tools I suggest you use when you do this that IS Physical.

A slip leash and maybe some food. This will allow you to keep your dog from flighting and you can use it to disagree if you really needed to. And the treats can be used to engage the nose & reward.

I highly suggest you do this active After fulfill your dog so that they are in a resting recovery state.

First, take the clippers & sit on the floor or maybe a chair with them & allow the dog to come over to you & smell them. Look at how they are feeling with the tool. Reward curiosity and ignore the nervousness that may be there from associations in the past.

If your dog is nervous, use the leash & guide them over to you or you can engage the nose with the food. Then get them to come over to it using it’s nose (with the treat) & then you can have them eat the treat around if I too if the nail clippers.

Again not the mindset your dogs in so you don’t reward negative energy (unsure, nervousness, ect.)

You can also use the food to create a positive association with the tool in conjunction with/instead of grooming the dog with the clippers.

These strategies are depending on the do. How do they feel when I provide them with regular affection? Is the dog food motivated? How big of a reaction do they with clippers?

1st BEFORE you get a puppy make sure the energy is compatible with your own energy & or life style. If you live a low/medium life style or your energy is lower, please consider getting an energy dog that matches your lifestyle and energy.

A higher energy dog often requires more time and energy to really fulfill its instinctual needs. Or els you are going to have to change your lifestyle to meet the needs of that puppy. (In my experience)

There are no differences between a Puppy and a Dog based off how they learn, communicate or understand. The only difference is either the Age or Stage.

A younger dog is often more curious about things than an older dog that is let’s say 2/3 may be. This is because, they have already gone through the SUPER curious stage when everything is more new to them.

It’s called imprint period. Imprint period is a super SUPER important time in a dogs life. It often spans 0-8 months (depending on the dog) & this is the time to really put in that work to allow nature to shape the dog you want.

In this stage you set up how your dog is going to be in the years to follow. However your not limited to this stage to teach your dog anything either. If your dog wasn’t raised in a way that is balanced that doesn’t mean things will be terrible either.

BTW doesn’t mean you can raise them until they are about 8 months old & loose all structure. 😉

You must maintain it but you will likely have to do way less later if you do more now.

Heres what I suggest ⬇️

Praise calmness, fulfill instinctual needs before your own emotions, Learn Dog Psychology! & lead your dog by setting clear & consistent Rules, Boundaries, & Limitations

It will also help if you Provide your self & the other people in your dogs life with knowledge of Dog Psychology so that, your dog can have better access to balanced life.

Please take the time to Learn how to engage & fulfill the nose of a dog. How to introduce your dog to other people & dogs in a way that is instinctual to them as (calmly meeting using👃)

All this is important & allows your dog meet & live in a way that is natural. We can’t just expect them to know it all. We have to guide them throughout life.

This is sort of tricky for me to explain having not done it before BUT I know Dog Psychology and how to implement Dog Training. So with all that being said, here’s how I’d do it.

First, I highly suggest you learn how to lead and walk a dog. This is just a differnt feeling and it’s more natural for me than always saying heel so the dog responds and walks at my side.

Once you accomplish the walk with your dog where they are walking beside or behind you, you can mark this behavior with a word. Personally, if I feel I want to teach my dogs this in the future. (I will likely be using the word “follow” with my own dogs) 🤷🏻

Just remember dogs don’t speak English so don’t worry about what your gonna use because it’s basically all the same to them.

And through repetitions of this the dog will start to associate this sound “heel” means they walk in a certain position. It could even mean follow because of the state of mind they are used to being in when this word is used. But I’m not sure having not done it yet!

But I do know that having worked with the dogs that I have, they will associate the behavior of walking beside or behind you with the sound “heel.”

Now this is how I would teach it with my own dogs. (if I decided I was going to do this) Some people have many other ways of doing it. Look at and many others for differnt perspective on how to teach this command/behavior.

This is a great thing you can teach your dog and I’ll definitely be looking into it more in the future for my self and others!

Please Remember, when using Dog Psychology as the filter and basis of Your understanding and relationship with your dog you can better determine which way is the best for you for you. This is something I highly recommend!!

Happy #nationalpetday2021 Have a great day guys!

SLOWING THE BRAIN DOWN! How many times have you had to let your self slow down? Probably a handful ATLEAST. Now think of all the Dogs who are seriously charged up and anxious. It isn’t fun if we just have Green Lights all the time without Yellow or even Red Lights to slow us down to regroup. We were doing something similar with Axel. Slowing the Brain Down and allowing them to relax is a good chunk of building and maintaining a healthy and relationship with our Dogs. 🐶 In this video I telling miss Lisa how to slow his Brain Down and control his speed a bit. She did really good once she learned the technique and had that “Aha” moment. 💡 The moment the clients make that connection is so amazing to me. We are helping Axel get to a point where he sees humans and dogs as calmness and is neutral to all of them. The biggest issues that we have been working on is him getting excited with other dogs and people He also can be a little unsure and so sometimes if he is under some pressure ( people walking by super close, someone staring, dogs coming into a proximity) he sometimes lunges and barks. BUT we are working on that! His excitement is what I feel is feeding that unsureness and making it more intense. For instance after we drained some of his energy he was way more able to just chill beside people walking And even dogs. I also wanted to point out that in this situation I feel a correction was really needed. We just wanted him to slow down. You can see in the last part of the video Axel is walking way more calm and relaxed by her side. This is what I want for all of my clients. Miss Lisa has been doing SO good with her dog Axel and they have been making so much progress! Let me know if you guys want to see more of this!
