Just watched Victoria Stilwell’s video on the dangers of social media normalizing shock collars and harsh leash handling as “training.” She’s absolutely right—dogs are sentient beings, not robots to be controlled through fear or pain. They’re genetically wired to live and work alongside us, and they deserve kindness and respect. Training should focus on motivation, trust, and rewarding desired behaviors—not punishment. Let’s advocate for humane methods that honor the incredible bond we share with our dogs!

The calendar date September 11 always feel heavy for generations of my time. It’s a date that brings about strong emotions especially being a New Yorker then and now. Amidst the memorial of heroism displayed that day, I want to bring attention to the search and rescue hero dogs. There’s a book on it; may it inspire all dog lovers on the courage and capabilities of dogs we are privileged to share our lives with.

I hope dog guardians take the time to interview and question the dog trainers they are looking to invest their time, efforts, trust, and money to help them with their dog training needs.

Find one that teaches dogs and their owners effective behaviors for various situations. Positive reinforcement/reward based methods coaches humans and dogs to understand each other’s expectations and behave harmoniously as a team without using pain, fear, or frustration. It’s effective and helps the dog fits into your lifestyle!

Victoria Stilwell, I’m with you! Thanks for your blog post detailing the stand!

Either you’re ok using methods and equipment when working with dogs that cause pain, fear, and purposeful discomfort, or you’re not. I am not.

🐾 Reward-Based Training Works for All Breeds! 🐾

Did you know that positive reinforcement training is effective for every breed of dog? Whether you have a tiny Chihuahua or a mighty Great Dane, using rewards like treats, praise, and play is the key to success.

There is **no need** to rely on outdated methods involving pain, fear, or frustration. These compulsion techniques not only harm our dogs but also weaken the trust and bond we share with them.

Let's embrace compassionate training! By focusing on rewarding good behavior, we build happy, confident, and well-behaved pups. Remember, every dog deserves to learn in a loving and supportive environment. 🐶❤️

Three great quotes that applies to dog families with “challenging” (“” as it’s a judgment opinion it itself) dog/s. Credit to Susan Garrett's DogsThat for the original post (Op)

“When a flower doesn’t bloom in the place it’s planted, the blame is on the environment, not the flower” ~ Alexander den Heiler

“The main reason for failure in dog training is people expects too much of the dog and not enough of themselves.” ~ Bob Bailey

“When you change the way your look at the things, the things you look at change.” ~ Wayne Dyer

As my mentor and friend the iconic Bob Bailey says “The main reason for failure in dog training is people expect too much of the dog and not enough of them selves.” Maybe the training you’ve put into your dog up to this point hasn’t worked, maybe the input you’ve received from experts so far hasn’t worked, that doesn’t mean there is no solution...it could mean you’ve been looking in the wrong places or trying the wrong approaches. To make it a perfect trifecta, three amazing quotes in one post, I’ll add one more from the late great Wayne Dyer “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.“ Dogs really are amazing when we give them the chance to be!

Muzzle conditioning relies on patience and positive reinforcement. Start by introducing the muzzle gradually, associating it with treats. Progress to touch training, rewarding calm behavior. Gradually increase wearing time, securing straps gently. Consistent practice reinforces positive associations, ensuring your dog’s comfort with the muzzle.
