Sniffing is of course a wonderfully enriching and necessary activity for dogs. But sniffing and snuffling are as different as being present and enjoying a wholesome meal vs mindlessly inhaling junk “food” and licking the Dorito dust off the inside of the bag. Be careful not to get sucked into this dangerous trend with your pup 🤎

🗓️ s a v e t h e d a t e ! 🗓️

We’re at it again!!! 👯‍♀️✨

Coming at you this fall for another jam packed seminar!!

We are on a MISSION to revolutionize how people are living with their dogs, because guys…things are looking a little dysfunctional out there!! Let us show you our proven Functional Obedience Method so you can find harmony in your relationship with your dog once and for all 🥹

It hurts us to see how well intentioned dog owners are being led astray and drowning in all the over-complicated nonsense in the training world these days. It doesn’t have to be so difficult and out of reach! The principles that will get you the life you’re dreaming of with your dog are actually quite simple and frankly, boring.

So let’s like it should be!!

Join us and our returning vendor and friends .gear this September on beautiful Vancouver Island 🌲

Sweet Tony is looking for a home! This guy has overcome SO many challenges thanks to the incredible dedication by his current family. He’s fully ecollar trained, has overcome some major reactivity, but still struggles with separation anxiety. In the house he’s like a cat - his owners describe him as “a typical shiba, he enjoys lounging on the sofa and prefers to be left alone for the most part.”

His ideal home would be with someone who has experience with behaviour challenges and is willing to continue working with him and accommodate his unique needs.

If this is you, please comment or message us! If not, please consider sharing so this guy can find his forever home.

Thanks so much! 🤎

Often times what we think is rewarding or encouraging to our dogs when they’re learning a new skill is actually just unnecessary distraction and added pressure that works against our goals.

08/10/2023

Two reactive dogs peacefully coexisting because they both have absolutely clarity on:

1. Who makes the major decisions
2. What is expected of them, without exception
3. They’ll be advocated for so there’s no need to be guarded/on edge

You can have this too!

07/10/2023

It really be like that! Ideologues are all about “lived experience” until they’re not 🙃

Training is a lifestyle, not a 90 minute session. 🤌🏼

10/09/2023

This is not to say that obedience is unimportant, but it is secondary to our dog’s state of mind. What we’re looking for in pet dogs is functional, not performative behaviour. What functions best inside the common household is a neutral state of mind and very basic, management oriented commands. What doesn’t work well is high drive, fast paced, precision obedience that is largely transaction based and keeps our dogs in a constant state of arousal/anticipation.

08/09/2023

You can be a source of confusion and anxiety in your dog’s vulnerable moments, or you can be a source of safety and clarity. Both can be done with love, but only one fosters genuine trust and comfort.

08/09/2023

Does your dog know you disagree with the pulling? Jumping? Barking? Digging? If you haven’t directly opposed the behaviour in the moment it’s happening, chances are they have no idea.

08/09/2023

It’s probable that your dog has no idea what behaviours you agree with and which ones you want them to stop doing. Make things crystal clear and predictable for them by giving feedback about their behaviour in a language they understand. Hint: endless treat transactions are not it 😉

04/09/2023

So often with our clients we are switching out “no pull” gadgets and complex lead systems for a simple prong and 4 foot leash. This combo helps us achieve the goal of building a working relationship on the foundation of trust and awareness, which is simply unachievable with tools that are designed for physical restraint. While they may manage symptoms quite well, they actually create more frustration and emotional distance between handler and owner. We have nothing against this if management is more important to you than connection, which is sometimes totally reasonable as a temporary solution 🤎

23/08/2023

Clear communication is key! ✨

A lot of people struggle to communicate clearly with their dogs because well, we’re not dogs! It’s difficult for us to mimick their physical language, but a good quality e-collar can help bridge that gap 🙌

22/08/2023

Tune out the noise. Trust yourself.

21/08/2023

It’s literally not rocket science 🤓

18/08/2023

A thinking dog makes better decisions than an impulsive one! Here’s what you can do to help your pup build overall impulse control 🙌

17/08/2023

This could be the missing piece to your reactivity training!

15/08/2023

There is a time and place for walks, play dates, treats, and all the other high energy things we love sharing with our dogs. But adding chaos to chaos is probably taking you further from your goals, particularly inside the house.

If your goal is to tire your dog or calm them down, try removing energy instead of adding it, and save the fun stuff for when it works for BOTH of you. This is a relationship, not a dictatorship 😉

03/08/2023

We are hosting a live hot seat coaching webinar! Bring all your dog training questions - we want to hear your biggest challenges and your biggest goals so we can help you bridge the gap between them 🙌✨

This is a FREE event! Just comment “I’M IN” to get your Zoom link 🤎

See you there!

24/07/2023

A lot of dogs absolutely adore their humans, but not as many dogs trust them, and even fewer experience both love and trust simultaneously. That’s true relationship goals 🤎🐕

It doesn’t matter what WE can do with your dog - the most important part of all our programs is empowering YOU to keep the positive momentum going at home. ✨ We spend hours with each family, often in their own space, to ensure long term success after we part ways. We literally will not leave until every question is answered and every person feels confident to take the next steps. 😊 These moments are what we live for! @justdogtraining #dogtraining #empowered #youvegotthis #letsgo #motivation #dogbehavior #relationship #communication #dogsofinstagram #wearemighty

Your dog is your best bud but would you really accept this behaviour from a true friend? Sometimes the best thing we can do for a relationship is set firm boundaries and start over 🤜🏽✨🤛🏻

Balanced training refers to a set of principles, not a set of tools 🤌 #balancedtraining #dogtraining #mythbuster

Happy Solstice, and National Indigenous People’s Day 🧡☀️ Today, as promised, we donated 100% of proceeds from Virtual Sessions in the month of June to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. 🙏 These small acts will never change the unfathomable injustices of the past, but it is my hope that if we all make consistent efforts, no matter how big or small, they might add up to create a much brighter, more honest and connected future. Gratitude to everyone who booked a Virtual Session this month - this is all thanks to you! ✨

Pro tip: SHORTEN YOUR GAD DANG LEASH. (w/🧡) 😁 There’s of course so much more nuisance to a proper leash walk but this is a simple adjustment anyone can make, regardless of their skill level. Fido doesn’t need 12 feet of mushing line in the suburbs. 🤌🏼 This will drastically improve your walk, like, immediately. Today. I promise. #leashtraining #dogwalk #dogtrainingtips #youvegotthis #angiesays #yyjdogs

What do I love most about board & trains? Week Two! In all honesty, the first week of a board & train is pretty monotonous and not a ton of fun. But! It is absolutely necessary to set a rock solid foundation so that we can open up the dog’s world safely and with a clear line of communication no matter where we go or what comes out way. Discipline really does equal freedom. ✨ #dogtraining #discipline #freedom #goldenretriever #dogsofvancouverisland #victoriabc #paradisecanada #grateful #pnw #pnwlife #northpacific #love

Teaching “out” with Beau! This is your next level “drop it” command. The out command not only directs your dog to eject something from his mouth, but to move away from the item and disengage entirely so that it’s safe for you to remove it without him guarding or attempting to steal it again. If you’re struggling with resource guarding, sock stealing, poop eating, etc, this command is a game changer! #dogtraining #dropit #leaveit #ous
