Today we took a deep dive into reactivity to explain what it is and where it comes from exactly! Understanding can only lead to better, more humane training practices and empathy for our dogs.
Your dog isnāt giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time

This is my rant about reactivityā¦prompted by seeing a trainer have no idea what theyāre doing. Letās do better and help these dogs who are really struggling. Itās sad to see so much pain and force out there. āYour dog is not giving you a hard time, they are having a hard timeā #reactivity #behaviormodification #forcefree #nopain #allgains #dogtraining
Itās a perspective shift!! The crazy @&$t I hear from my students of things that trainers have said to them or read on the internet is getting ridiculous. Your dog can sleep in bed with you. You can share food with your dog. You better reward your dog if you want them to repeat behaviors. #dogtraining #dogtrainer #forcefreefriday #forcefreetrainer

Running into my workweek with the dogs! Letās do this thing! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #forcefreedogtraining #letsgo
This has been at the top of my list of conversation topics with my students lately! We set the bar SO high for our dogs and expect perfection. Letās normalize not having to train every single thing. Itās OKAY to simply manage something or take it out of the equation all together. Does your dog struggle to get along with puppies? Thatās FINE! Your dog doesnāt HAVE to feel social in all contexts. Letting your dog make decisions about who they are comfortable with is always the way to go! Letās stop forcing our dogs to do things they donāt want to do #dogtraining #forcefree #belmar #belmardogs #positivereinforcement #dogtrainer #stopthemadness
I can't count how many times I've been in assessments and gotten the cringe face from my students after being told their dog sleeps in bed with them. And then the relief when they hear me say, "Yeah, I don't care about that!" There is nothing wrong with allowing your dog to snuggle in bed and bond with you. If anything, it strengthens your relationship and does you a lot of good! Let the snuggles commence!! #dogtraining #forcefreedogtrainer #nodominance #loveyourdog #letthemsnuggle #sleepingdog
