A little late getting this PSA reminder out. If you hike in the woods, put some orange on you and your dog. Even if your dog looks nothing close to resembling a deer.

Belle enjoyed brunch in Raleigh. I had the BLAT and Belle thought the bacon and French Fries were on point. The lovely people who work there were awesome. We will definitely go back again.

Family reunions are also dog reunions for us. We have a new addition to the pack. BUDDY who is a stray that wandered into my aunt and uncle lives. Buddy is a local celebrity of sorts in New Bern. He has been roaming the streets alone and decided he would set roots with them. Welcome to the family Buddy!

"I have never rushed to label my training style. One might say it is relationship based, but really I just have a single goal and it’s a simple one: I want a calm dog... "

In the 80’s there was an oil painter on PBS named Helen Van Wyk… yes, believe it or not, there were other TV oil painters besides the iconic Bob Ross. Van Wyk specialized in still life and portrait…

Belle's view this morning. Happy Sunday!

This quote is a powerful one and also applies to the relationships we have with our dogs. Most dogs are natural followers. They've been following us for thousands of years, going all the way back to our nomadic roots. And that by default makes us the leader.

Dogs look to us for a guiding hand, not a heavy hand, to help lead them though a human world. The responsibility of being that leader occurs the moment we put the collar on.

Leadership is not a top down authoritarian rule...that's a boss. Leadership is a relationship built on compassion, empathy, trust, emotional intelligence, and communication.

Our dogs actively look to us for that guidance and we must actively provide it.

The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.” James D. Watson

There is so much to be studied about the brain and how it works. This also includes the mind of dogs! Science is constantly evolving, testing, refining, and correcting. Fascinating read.

A neuroscientist explains the scientific myths about the brain repeated regularly in the media and corners of academic research.

We love taking Belle to the beach. People have said to us how happy she looks when she gets out there. She may not be a water dog but she loves running on the sand and getting her feet wet.

Dogs drink water from various places, some grosser than others. A dog's food and water bowl inside your home can be a perfect breeding ground for bacteria they pick up and bring back.

To have our natural strengths noticed and validated is a great feeling. Our dogs are no different.

I cannot tell you how many times I shined a light on a good behavior a dog was naturally making, a good choice, and the rapport and connection that was made when I told that dog they naturally did a fantastic thing!

The dog looks at me with a surprised look as if to have won the grand prize by simply existing, but certainly happy to have won! And then happily willing to do it again and again.

Those moments are gifts and our dogs do them all the time if we are looking and listening.

Rewards should always be engaging, enthusiastic, and empathetic.

Treats are payment, but emotional reward is the connection your dog wants and is something you always have available.

Belle knows a good photo opp when she sees one. #hikingadventures #hikingtheappalachiantrail #houndsofinstagram

Stopping by a small creek on the way to Devil's Hole in Linville Gorge.

Going back in time some years. Belle was 2 and Pepper was still under a year. Pepper was staying with me for a few days so I took them both to the Haw river for some exploration time. I tend to practice recall frequently during an outing no matter how used to it a dog may be. Belle is 7 and I still do it as a matter of practicing good habits. Recall never means the fun is over...it doesn't mean come to me and that's it...it means let's walk this way because I have something else for you to see that is interesting. I personally can never be as interesting as what they are discovering in nature...so get the ego out of the way! I represent the way to discovering new and interesting things...and I deliver on that promise. @kurt_hilton_photography @sheena.hilton

Been working on a new dance with Belle. We do this nightly and added new elements over time. There are no rules for the dance, some things Belle added and some things I added.

I use the WAIT command all the time in many different ways. Here is the classic example that comes in handy. Waiting in the car, until given the all clear. This is a safety issue because dogs bolting out of cars can be disastrous, especially when there is traffic. In this particular instance we are in an empty parking lot, I know the area and I trust Belle off leash. However, if this were a more active or unknown area I would put the leash on before she exits.

Sniffing out some nature!

As you can see the focus is on Belle in this exercise, but have a look at little AJ falling into a rhythm. She is very engaged and finding her place naturally. She is learning by observing. She enjoys one-on-one training but she REALLY enjoys being involved in dance sessions with Belle. The purpose of this exercise is for engagement, bonding, and fun, nothing overly structured or stressful.

Conditioning a dog, especially a hound that has the DNA to chase after every living thing, to not chase after deer takes time and work. Mind you Belle still has a passionate affinity for rabbits and squirrels and that's cool, she is still a dog after all. It is her nature. But I am very happy she has gotten to this point with deer.

Nice evening and enjoying the local urban wildlife. We were down wind, but I doubt it would spook this deer if we were not. Belle smells the deer though. That said I was speaking a bit too quiet for Belle to hear me clearly. #sniffari

Dog. Stick, Clover....Bliss. This girl loves a garden.

Had a fantastic session with a Portuguese Water Dog that I have worked with from the beginning of puppy development. Today we started with the fundamentals of heeling. He took to it right away and even did some weaving off leash by the time we finished up. What a champ!

Switching it up. Sometimes you have to wait first.

Belle getting her hussle on!

Belle is so great when working with other dogs, especially young puppies as small as this.

Being chill with the deer.

When hiking I like to practice/reinforce various scenarios. The most common one is the WAIT. WAIT is different than STAY. STAY means I have a dog STAY in a specific location until I come back and give a FREE. WAIT on the trail is more casual. It basically means WAIT for me...Let me catch up. WAIT is also used with doors, crates, and cars.. Basically...it's a pause button for your dog. As you can hear, I also like to use commands in combination with the word GOOD. This way we are emotionally rewarding our dogs with the command. All dogs, even well trained ones, will push the boundaries of a command, it is OUR discipline to tweak, refine, and reinforce good behavior.
