✨Fearful dog tip✨

Do you have a pup that is fearful of new or unknown people? Do they often shy away from physical contact from people they do not know? One of the best gifts you can provide your dog is consent. So many dogs are asked to sit or lay down when they are approached by new people. By asking your dog to sit or lay down, we are limiting their ability to make choices. By encouraging your dog to stand when meeting new people, we are allowing them to easily back away if they feel uncomfortable. Understanding your dogs body language will help determine if they really want to interact with a person. Understanding your dogs body language will help determine if they are consenting to the interaction. Many bites occur from dogs with a fearful disposition because their body language was not properly understood or respected. Give your dogs a choice and voice when it comes to social interactions. They will be so grateful to have you on their communications team!

Boone is one of my buddies at the Brown County Humane Society whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with a few times.

He is such a lovely dog and like many shelter dogs, he’s grown very bored of the kennel life. Boone is super social and will make such a great sidekick!

Check out their page for more info or just go pay him a visit!

PSA: it's not worth it!

Yes, you can see quick and dramatic behavior change when you utilize a punishment tool such as a shock collar.

They do stop behavior. I won't deny that. But I will tell you that in my professional opinion, it's not worth the risk.

Every day I meet dogs who have been previously trained using shock collars and they now have way more serious problems than they started with.

Their owners may have used it to stop something like jumping up or barking excitedly on leash, but now the dog is showing fear-based aggression towards people or other dogs.

Stop shocking dogs. The research shows that it is harmful to them.

Despite what you may have read or seen, there are other ways to modify behavior. There are strategies that don't involve scaring and harming dogs in the name of training. And a shock collar is the total opposite of what your anxious or "difficult" dog needs.

If you have used a correction tool in the past, it is not too late either! I'm not here to judge!

Reach out for a consult for other options!
