Tired of playing "Catch Me If You Can" with your dog every time they bolt through your front door? It's time to build a rock-solid recall!

As a responsible dog owner, mastering recall is non-negotiable. Not only does it keep your dog alive, but it also ensures the safety of those around you in the event they take an unplanned excursion around the neighborhood.๐Ÿ˜…

Here's how I approach recall training:

1๏ธโƒฃ Start by hand-feeding your dog to build trust, teamwork, and interest in food rewards for following simple instructions like staying calm and responding to their name.

2๏ธโƒฃ Move on to long line work (30ft+) and pair your dog's name with the motion of moving towards you, assisted by the leash. Reward them with food upon reaching you to build drive and put value on their name.

3๏ธโƒฃ When they don't comply, give a firm "No" followed by a straight-line leash pop in the opposite direction. This sequence associates punishment with the word "No," putting meaning behind it in the future in the absence of your leash.

4๏ธโƒฃ Practice this process to build your dog's recall by name, on-leash, and off-leash through solid name recognition and leash cues when voice commands can't be used.

There is a cult within the dog training community that would have you believe anything that isn't hearts, treats and rainbows runs the risk of ruining your dog and relationship. Rarely will they have tangible proof of their claims or any history successfully remedying any real problems themselves.๐Ÿฅด

These same individuals scream from the hill tops about study after study in regards to dog behavior, how training tools like the E-collar are the devil and would also have you believe that your dog should be put to sleep, doped up on anxiety meds 24/7 or handled like a toddler for the rest of their lives when you start experiencing problems. ๐Ÿคฌ

So the next time they have anything negative to say about you or your dogs training say "Show me" and lay the pressure on thick. They'll either show their work like your 8th grade math teacher did or they'll fold under the pressure like fresh laundry ๐Ÿ˜‚

Put the ball in their court and put the burden of proof on them. After all, they came for you. You didn't send for them ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

What if I told you staying in your comfort zone is the reason behind it? ๐Ÿค”

Let's dive into a self-reflection exercise. Write down these 3 things in columns:

โœ… What you're comfortable doing to help your dog's behavior change.
โœ… What you're uncomfortable doing that may help your dog's behavior change.
โœ… Your non-negotiables (like coming when called).

Now, at the bottom of the page, jot down your training goals. Dig deep here; it might get a bit bumpy. Ask yourself: Why do those specific things make you uncomfortable? Is it due to peer pressure, past experiences, a skill gap, or the act itself?

Peel back the layers and reflect. ๐Ÿง  Do your comfort zones and non-negotiables align with your goals?

Remember, just as we train our dogs, we must also train ourselves. The human end of the leash is the most crucial aspect of dog training. Are you ready to do what's necessary for both you and your dog to thrive?

The Compassionate Dog Owner's Guide ๐Ÿพ

Let's go back in time for a second. Back to 1992 to be exact.

Michael Jackson was the king of Pop. ๐ŸŽถ

Michael Jordan was the king of Basketball. ๐Ÿ€

In Michael Jackson's video for the song 'Jam', he featured Michael Jordan. Remember that?

In the video, Jordan showcased his legendary basketball skills, and Jackson his unparalleled dance moves.

Then it became interesting. ๐Ÿค”

Jordan tried to dance, and his lack of rhythm was on full display.

Jackson tried to play basketball, and his lack of skill was equally evident.

Your dog, like these legends, has areas where they excel. You chose your dog for their unique strengths, whether thatโ€™s loyalty, intelligence, or agility.

If you try to force your dog to excel in areas where they are weak or genetically unfit you may be disappointed by their struggles.

My advice, focus on their strengths. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ

Here's an exercise for you this evening to help you get started.๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ

For your dog, do the following:

1. Write out 3-5 areas where you are SURE your dog excels. (Every dog has its day, and every pup has its strengths. Look closely, and you will find them).

2. Write out 3 areas you think your dog can improve on, that will help them become a better companion and live a happier life.

3. Sit down with your dog and observe these things. Ask yourself if helping them improve would help you?

Listen when they 'talk'. ๐Ÿพ
Take notes. ๐Ÿ“
Ask questions. โ“
Celebrate the areas where they are strong. ๐ŸŽ‰
Be kind when you address their weaknesses. ๐Ÿ’•

4. Organize/pay for them to attend obedience training to help them:
- Sharpen their skills in those areas where they excel.
- Improve in those areas where they are weak.

Training can be online or in person, but invest in the personal growth of your dog. Your life will be richer for it. I'm here to help when you're ready to take that next step in your dogs journey. ๐Ÿถ

Dog training tools aren't from Hogwarts! ๐Ÿช„

Without proper understanding and effort, they're just objects. An experienced coach is invaluable, guiding both you and your dog through the learning process. Without this guidance, gaps in training can emerge, leading to unwanted behaviors. ๐Ÿฅด

Stop using training tools as bandaids and actually learn how to use them properly. You want a dog that lives a full confident life instead of being confused and anxious, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š

It starts with YOU being trained right first!

Rumor has itโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคซ

Thereโ€™s a lot of chatter in the dog world lately, some of which is true and some of which is completely false!

To put those rumors to bed, here are 5 common myths youโ€™ll most likely hear during your dogโ€™s training journey that you should DEFINITELY ignore:

โœจ Myth #1: Punishing your dog hurts your relationship: Have you ever burned your hand on the stove even though someone said don't do it prior? You haven't touched a hot stove since have you? Timely punishment just like a timely reward is the difference between your dog fully understanding right from wrong or living a life full of confusion and discomfort.

โœจ Myth #2: Putting your dog inside a crate (Cage ๐Ÿฅด) is cruel: Crate training your dog gives them a safe space, the equivalent to your own private bedroom at home, when they want to avoid the chaos presented by other dogs, to possibly get away from guests they do not want to socialize with and gives them the confidence they need to be secure in themselves when left alone for long periods of time.

โœจ Myth #3: E-collars are barbaric and should be banned: I too like to live on the edge. If E-collars are going to be banned because of misuse then I guess we should start banning folding chairs too. Weโ€™ve seen the damage those things can do lately. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

โœจ Myth #4: Itโ€™s all about how you raise them: This couldnโ€™t be further from the truth. Although the way you raise your dog does influence their future behavior, to an extent, your dogs genetics and breed also play a huge part in the character traits displayed at any given time. For instance an American Pitbull Terrier being dog aggressive isnโ€™t surprising at all because of the breeds original purpose in the fighting pits. That blood is still in your fur baby by the way.

โœจ Myth #5: Dogs are supposed to be eager to please us!: Nope, that's not true either. Have you ever heard โ€œMy dog does so well with the trainer but not for me!โ€ before? The dog is eager to please the black and white leader. Not the one that floats in grey.

Has this provided you with some clarity? If so, spread the word by sharing this post to your story! ๐Ÿ“ฃ
