21.01.2022 Okay, I’m sure this might sound counterintuitive, or just some crafty use of wording, but as confusing as it may seem, it’s about as true as it gets. The stuff... everyone is so worried about sharing with their dogs, because they’re afraid it’s going to kill their spirit, cause them to dislike you, or the most common...make the dog unhappy...are actually the exact same things that create a far more relaxed, included, and happier dog. Dogs that are well-behaved, reliable, polite, safe, and a pleasure to be around, have much bigger lives. It’s simple stuff. Good dogs get to enjoy more life, bad dogs enjoy less. And how do we go about gifting our dogs with a bigger world and a bigger life? Through the stuff you least want to share. Rules, discipline, structure, accountability. The hard stuff creates the opportunity for the great stuff. As long as owners resist being leaders, as long as owners are too afraid they’ll hurt their dog’s feelings, as long as owners prioritize what feels good for them rather than what does good for their dogs, the cycle of dysfunctional human/dog relationships will continue. And dogs lives will get smaller and smaller.

08.01.2022 Often what’s most needed, is the least understood, and the least requested. Your job, as parent or owner, is to know better.

07.01.2022 You can be the fun one, you can be the good cop, but just remember you’re doing that for you, and that personal pleasure of never having to be the heavy comes at the expense of those who depend on you to do better. Better is both.

05.01.2022 The jackpot or emergency recall is a commonly pushed fairytale and attempt to conceal a lack of dependable training in the pure positive/force-free world. ...The concept involves you pairing an extremely high value treat to a special word for that special recall when you need it. Of course, if you have a true recallone that’s been proofed, reliable, and is non-negotiableyou already have your jackpot or emergency recall...it’s your everyday, every moment, no-emergency-needed recall. The fact that the PP/FF world even publicly acknowledges this emergency protocol shows youstraight from the horse’s mouththat the rest of the commands are suggestions and hopeful at best. And the big gun emergency recall, as good as it might sound, is also, by its very design, also just a hopeful suggestion. Because even if it’s done right, and patterned a bunch, you will still only be hoping that the high value treat you have is more desired than the high value trigger your dog is running toward. Betting your dog’s safety, or life, as well as other dogs or people’s safety/life/peace of mind on hope is a terrible strategy, which often has terrible results.
