Sadie's Rules K9 Training

01/11/2024

We have a new group of dogs to introduce and they are quite the mix!

▫️Sprite is a golden retriever with a mind of her own. This is not a big deal until her family needs her to do something and she decides she really does not want to do it.

▫️Lonnie is an Anatolian shepherd/great Pyrenees with a big bark that wants no one to come near her home. She is also super reactive on walks to dogs and people.

▫️Little Nori is a Jack Russel mix that completed our puppy program and is back to learn how to off leash and continue with e-collar training. She knows so much already she is going to fly through the program.

Make sure you follow along in our daily stories to catch their program and the others that we are currently working with.

Make sure you scroll to see how Rex is looking these days! And if you wanna know how we have gotten there take a listen in to our stories. I bet it’s not what you think!

Helping our clients be successful with their dogs is really what it’s all about for us. We don’t just train the dog for a few weeks and then send them on their way. We are committed to making things stick at home through follow ups and coaching the owners how to be their best for their dog. It’s a team effort!

So…we have been terrible about doing our welcome posts of our trainees. But we are back at it. Here is our newest group!
🔥Rex is here because he has a general fear and dislike of just about everything, human and dogs alike. And he is not afraid to let you know with his teeth.
🔥Bella is here because after an unfortunate event with a pet sitter she now can not be left alone and has terrible crate/separation anxiety.
🔥Ryder is here because he struggles with leash reactivity and his social skills, despite having generally good obedience skills.
🔥Luca is here to become the best version of himself, because right now, he does whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

Follow along in our stories to watch their progress!

Kodiak dob unknown-September 9, 2024

Kodiak was always in the background here at Sadie’s Rules. Most people don’t know his story because it’s not an easy one. Kodiak came to the U.S. from Afghanistan through the Puppy Rescue Mission and was adopted by an American soldier. Unfortunately during their time together, Kodiak had a rather severe incident with another dog that resulted in serious injury. And when the soldier needed to move he decided he could not take Kodiak with him. Puppy Rescue Mission supports the dogs they rescue for life and they reached out to us to train him. However, Kodiak, being a 120 pound Anatolian shepherd with a history like his, needed a home that was nearly impossible to find. And we realized, we actually really liked the guy. So he stayed. We did have to make some adjustments for him; he was never around client’s dogs (hence he was rarely seen on social media) and he had a crate that took up 1/8 of a room. But he also took up space in our hearts. Despite his age, size, grumpiness, and arthritis, he would still play like a puppy if you gave him a toy. And he taught me so many things about a dog’s natural instincts that will be with me forever. We called him an a**hole but he was our a**hole and we love him.

Here’s to being pain free buddy. Sniffing everything you want for as long as you want. And marking anything you wish to claim as your own. It’s all yours.

I think it’s safe to say Max had fun flying, I mean running on the trail today with the big dogs. Talk about a confidence booster for this 4 month old puppy!

Percy made quite the transformation. A year ago he was overweight, biting his owners, unable to be crated or left alone, but also would not allow anyone into his home, reactive on the leash…in other words, he and his family were really miserable.

Through our program, his attitude started to shift. But it was really the work at home that his owners did to reinforce his better behavior long term that made him realize his old ways were not going to work anymore. No more biting. No more tantrums. No more refusing. He now goes on daily walks. Sleeps in his crate. Can run around off leash. And his body and mind are so much healthier now because of it.

We get this question a lot. And it’s an important one for us to clarify and shed some light on.

We use e-collars (specifically e-collar technologies) because of the stimulation function that allows us to hold our dogs accountable when they fail to comply or when they do something that deserves a “No.” It also has some other things we use it for, because at low levels, we can use it to teach pressure on/off and therefore commands, but that’s a bit more nuanced. We like brand because of its versatility with levels 0-100…the small increments allows for tremendous control over what exact level of stimulation might be given in any situation.

And when we stim, or stimulate, we are talking muscle stimulation. So at low numbers, it may be barely perceivable. A little higher, maybe a tingle. And at higher level, more contraction of the muscle. You have control over what is necessary in the moment. It really is a fantastic tool that is safe and effective for giving your dog clarity in any situation.

Hi everyone. Buster tragically died on Sunday evening. If you can give even a little, it would really help his family have some breathing room as they try to navigate life without him.

Hi everyone. Buster was an amazing father, husband, friend, and all ar… Jess Schneiderman needs your support for Support Buster Saunder’s family after tragedy

I’m looking for a personal assistant for my small business. Pay is based on experience. Once trained it can be all virtual.

Think of it like this. When you moved out of the house and made all your own decisions and then you went back home to visit and your parents try to give you a curfew, tell you not to curse, pick up your stuff, and you’re like “Excuse me. I’m an adult now and don’t need you telling me what to do anymore.”

For our dogs if they roam around free all day making their own decisions, chewing sh*t up, counter surfing, barking at whatever, and then you come home and tell them that stuff is not allowed, they are gonna be like “Screw you. I make my own decisions.”

So instead, use the crate to prevent your dog from thinking they get to make all the decisions. And it keeps them from doing all the stupid sh*t as well.
