Luring Details for Weave
Is this style of video helpful?
I didn’t realize how complicated it can be until I tried slowing this weave behavior down.
I was very entertained trying to slow it down with Mr Let’s GOOOOO…but I also enjoyed this last video I recorded with him ❤️

Each being is an individual.
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed-it just changes forms
I’ve learned this firsthand. And continue to learn it. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to live a full life-even if that meant going through difficult things. But I wanted to go through as much as I could so I would learn and be able to live the most fulfilled and overflowing life possible. My 11+ year old dog Rain was often very anxious and would stare at me like I never gave her attention (even after hours of doing things together). I had a big realization that I had actually not experienced as much “undivided attention” from my father-as a developing little mind should have. And he wasn’t a bad dad by any means. There were just 8 of us and he had a lot of things he was going through himself. Yet the result in me was still the idea of that deep connection was not necessary…even though that may be THE most important thing to embody unconditional love. What I had been doing with my dog was simply checking the boxes: playtime, walks, feeding, training-but I wasn’t feeling the connection or being truly present…and I believe she sensed that.I believe a lot of dogs can sense this. The coolest thing though, immediately after I had that realization, Rain got up from where she was (away from me), and laid down much closer. And over the next couple of weeks I intentionally put time aside to feel that connection within me, and simply appreciate how much I love her.…is she suddenly not anxious? Nope. But she is significantly more relaxed overall. She seems more peaceful. And I feel more gratitude for this incredible being who has been with me through so much. I think this is replicable. I think we can sense the truth in this. Let me know your thoughts. This is just the first step ❤️....#unconditionallove #dog #authentic #life #drive #energy #healing #growth #alignment #letsgo #whosready #mirror #dogsasmirrors #alignedk9
Fading the lure for walking into heel with board and train Rosie.
This pup was so smart, sweet, cuddly, and the perfect level of energy. It was such a pleasure having her work with me and I think she enjoyed it as much as I did.
As trainers, we often get a lot of dogs with pretty big struggles (understandably), so when we get a dog that loves what we do just as much as we do, it’s just leaves us all around feeling beyond happy.
I love what I do even with challenging dogs. Often times, especially with challenging dogs.
But it’s super nice to have things mixed up once in a while 😊

Storm’s board and train
Dogs should enjoy their lives-but they should be safe and happy while doing so too! Each of my board and trains are tailored specifically to individual dog’s needs and what would best have them living their fullest most fulfilled lives. These next couple months tend to be the busiest, and I take a limited number to ensure top-quality training and fulfillment!

This one is so much fun to teach and eventually turn into a directional bark command (barking at someone or something). #growth #create #focus #dog #Malinois #in #dogbehavior #puppy #love #germanshepherd #Authenticity #inspire #behavior #dogtrainingtips #happydog #dogtrainer #dogtrainingadvice #alignedk9 #dogtraining #build #authentic #belgianmalinois #Belgian #growthmindset #rescue
Gotcha! That’s impossible…unless it sees a sinking ball. Then it’s a certainty. Question for y’all though! What is the most reliable way you’ve gotten your dogs to swim regularly?It’s looking like Stryker has the same issue as Rain did: fascination with water, but gets so into his own head that he starts spidering and borderline dunking himself then running out 😂 Biggest issue I think: we don’t have close regular access to water. So what’s the fastest but most reliable way would you say? And how many dogs have you successfully trained that way?....#advice #dog #marshmellow #belgianwaffle #belgianmalinois #malinois #mal #ballislife #river #travel
The emotional state one is in sets the whole foundation for learning. The “positive only” training movement is a beautiful step away from pure compulsion in understanding the importance of this. One can see the difference between a dog who has been trained in a good emotional state vs one who has been “corrected” into doing the desired behaviors. I use all four quadrants, and that’s a topic for another day, but the point here being: all creatures can learn significantly faster and more effectively if they are in a good emotional state and are interested/engaged in the learning process. This is why my board and trains are never 2 weeks initially. I need to ensure dogs in my care are given enough time to acclimate to me, my home, and begin having a good time. I don’t want to “just control” a dog, I want them to enjoy the process as much as possible. It doesn’t mean there won’t be discomfort, as I said, there are four quadrants in behavior in this life…but I do want them to have fun while learning new things. They learn significantly faster and both of us have a blast during the process. Speaking of: I’m offering a Huge discount for the next person to sign up for October’s board and train!

Teach drop with the switch game! This one may feel a bit complex or unlikely to work, just be patient and consistent-you will see results. #dogtrainer #dog #dogtraining #belgianmalinois #malinois #malinoisdog #sandiego #sandiegodog #alignedk9
Sometimes you just gotta laugh. This dude did so well despite having had to wait for nearly a whole week while my stingray sting re-swelled after a week of being healed..? No. No logic. 🤷🏽♀️ It’s been a while since we worked with the muzzle so we were just running through some basics. This guy is one of the most unique dogs ever. Most dogs, I have to step in to help them after just a second if they’re this riled up. This guy has a lot of experience being riled up, and he’s STUPID SMART. So I generally give him a bit more time if he messes up, because he can generally figure it out.As you can see here, he recovered quickly. Me-not so much 🤣....#dog #funnydog #trainermistakes #americanbully #bulldog #happyboy #malinois #pitbull #pit #pittie #work #focus #laughitoff #alignedk9
