Ever wonder what a “active training” session looks like while your dog is at camp?
Baron would love to show you!
This is what it looks like (ish) with each dog in training. There are variations of course based on clients needs/wants and where the dog is at in the program. Everything is tailored to the client and the dog.
We then rinse and repeat 2-3 time a day, add in all the basic handling, lifestyle skills, calm on command training and it’s a full day for everyone! I absolutely love my job.

Life is better with a dog
So much of my life has been go alone or don’t go.... I’m already gone baby and I’m not looking back or waiting up.
Rue is the best traveling companion I could ever ask for.

Once a dog is conditioned to the ecollar it becomes a form of communication. Translates verbal human communication to dog physical communication.
Why wouldn’t you want to communicate with your dog in their first language, the language they understand vs. standing there screaming your head off at dog that is 100% non verbal? Would you choose a translator or a high intensity game of charades where the other side just keeps getting louder and more pissed off the longer it takes you to try and figure out what they are saying?

LOOK! One animal physically corrected another.
.
*GASP*
.
Are we going to call it abuse?
.
Worry about hurt feelings?
.
Broken bond or trust?
.
Making the roosters aggression worse?
.
Is the rooster shut down?
.
Traumatized? Has the goose made him afraid of him?
.
Absolutely not, that’s silly.
.
So it’s all the imagined harm fairy tales that are told about correcting your dog.
.
You can take a dog out of nature but you can’t take the nature out of the dog.... Regardless of how you feel about it.

You can't love genetics out of a dog that was bred for a specific task for hundreds of years.
A few generations of backyard breeding won't do it either.
Genetics are the hardwiring, the hardware. Everything else is software.
"⚠️Trigger Warning.
If you believe that it’s all about “how you raise them”, you’re dead wrong.
That mindset is incredibly ignorant and dangerous.
Pit Bulls have a bad reputation for a reason.
Yep, I said it.
If you know anything about how this breed originated, you would understand just how dangerous they can be.
A little history for those of you that don’t know: Until the mid-19th century the now extinct Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs were bred together to produce a dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the bulldog. This type of dog, which was bred in the British Isles, became known as the Bull-and-Terrier. These dogs arrived in the United States in the late nineteenth century where they became the ancestors of the American Pit Bull Terrier. In the United Kingdom, Bull-and-Terriers were used in bloodsports such as bull baiting and bear baiting. These bloodsports were officially eliminated in 1835 when Britain introduced animal welfare laws.
Since dog fighting is cheaper to organize and far easier to conceal from the law than bull or bear baits, bloodsport proponents turned to pitting their dogs against each other instead.
In other words, The American Pit Bull Terrier’s ancestors were specifically bred to take down and kill animals for sport. When that became illegal, dog fighting was the preferred alternative due to it being easily hidden in someone’s basement.
This is where the breed really took a turning point. Not only will this breed take down other animals but then it was bred to turn against it’s own kind.
This is why we get SO many dog aggressive Pit Bulls.
Sometimes we get lucky and are just dealing with some reactivity and low threshold from u
You deserve the life with your dog that training affords.
Struggling dogs need training.
Good dogs deserve it.

After one 30 min session where we address the fuse not the explosion with the right tools and approach.
.
When she sees him see the other dog and he starts loading his reactivity sequence she says no does a quick leash pop and turns away from the trigger and snaps him out of it.
.
Teaching leash manners shouldn’t take weeks or even months. You stand nothing to lose by them learned these skill as quickly as possible but lose precious time and quality of life (both yours and theirs) by dragging it out.
.
Reach out Maui, we are here to help and have the skill knowledge and tools to change the way you live with your dog for the better even if you think you have tried everything or other trainers have failed you.
Don’t give up.

This dog had been to every trainer on the island.
.
From an expensive Franchise to an expensive vet behaviorist.
.
The owner was even given the advice from different trainer that telling the dog no, stopping the behavior from happening would ‘hurt their bond/relationship’ that giving the dog a consequence would make them more aggressive.
.
The pet parents even worked with one trainer who charged by the hour and after months was told to
-avoid all other dogs
-walk their dog only super early in the morning or very late at night
-to ignore the dog when exploding and treat/reward him when he stopped inadvertently strengthening the behavior.
.
This poor advice landed the owner a decent bite on the leg.
.
This isn’t a post to shame other trainers... although routinely taking money from people who you know you can’t help because the dog is out of your skill set which causes the dog worse that lands the owner in the ER-all while actively speaking against the tools and approach that would help them simply because they don’t align with your emotional and unfounded opinions....
well it’s poor form at the very least.
.
You aren’t just scamming owners you are handing out death sentences to dogs.
.
I’m glad the owner didn’t give up. I’m glad when they didn’t have success with one trainer they had the resources to try the next.
.
Not everyone is able.
.
I don’t claim to be the best dog trainer, only the last trainer you’ll need.
.
It won’t take months and months either.
Find your joy and don’t let anyone take it away.
.
Fight for your passion.
.
My dogs have saved my life.
.
I won’t give them up, I won’t give up on them.
