24.01.2022 This dog trainer is debunking some common 'how to train your dog' myths on TikTok...

24.01.2022 Let’s take a moment to talk about genetics. I just got off a call with someone who got a cane corso and his dog bit the gardener who came into the yard unannoun...ced and a friend who did the same. Now he wants to rehome or euthanize the dog. He said, he didn’t raise him like that.... There’s this little catch phrase that gets thrown around, it’s all now they’re raised. Well, that’s not quite true. Look at 8 week old Kelpie or Border Collie pups herding ducks or lambs without any training, or pointers naturally on point when they see a bird. These are things that breeders have carefully selected for over time. Genetics also greatly impact a dogs nerves and environmental stability. Sure you can do a lot as a handler to try and shape and guide a dog’s genetic drives or tendencies to a certain degree, but in my opinion when it comes to breed specific traits and solid or weak nerves In a dog, genetics will always win and come through. When selecting a dog, please don’t choose the cane corso because it looks bad ass, or the border collie because you heard it’s the smartest breed, or a Malinois because it’s a police dog breed. These dogs have real needs and drives that must be satisfied, and if you can’t provide those things, select a different dog. When rescuing, remember if you get a puppy there’s no telling how the dog will end up by 3 years of age, so be prepared for unknown genetic drives and traits to be expressed as a dog develops. I truly believe if people talked more about genetics, people might be better matched with the dogs they either purchase or rescue. See more

14.01.2022 One more reason we do not use or recommend the "gentle leader or other harnesses that come across the dogs face. Here is the vascular system in a canine head. T...his highlights the enormous amount of blood flow in the dogs nose. This blood flow serves many purposes, fuels the scent chambers, aids in temperature regulation, allows dogs to effectively track, but this also makes the dogs nose incredibly sensitive to touch. This is the main reason you should not use face harnesses. There are plenty of tools designed to communicate with dogs that do not put pressure on one of their most sensitive features.

06.01.2022 Responsible Ownership Primary needs of a dog within the family structure I. All dogs need a clear understanding that the humans in it’s household are the ‘leade...rs of the pack’. A. Consistency of all family members in following the rules enforcing the boundaries and an understanding of why this is important. B. Owner established territorial and psychological boundaries for the dog 1. Designate a place for your dog’s crate, den or bed. You need to decide where the dog will sleep and be certain that the dog sleeps there. 2. Designate a place for your dog to eat and drink. Water should be available at all times. It is recommended that the dog’s food should not be left down after feeding. 3. Kitchen manners are essential to establish from the beginning. Your dog should not be taking food from the table, begging or being fed from the table. Your dog will not be offended by this as he will see this as his natural and rightful place in the pack. 4. Designated doggy toys and play area. Designate a place for your dog to eliminate. 5. By providing rules and boundaries, and providing calm assertive leadership in the ‘pack’, your dog can develop positive behaviors that will substitute for other instinctual behavior patterns, such as chasing, fighting, etc. II. Meeting the dogs needs A. Physical needs of food, fresh water, and exercise appropriate for the breed. B. Health needs of vaccinations, parasite control, and regular veterinarian visits as necessary. C. Psychological needs 1. Give your dog a sense of security by having the owner assume the position of ‘pack leader’ under any and all circumstances. 2. Always be consistent in your interactions with your dog. Corrections should immediately follow the dog’s negative behavior. Dogs live in the now. .They don’t remember what happened five minutes ago, so corrections must be well timed. Many times a simple verbal correction with appropriate energy will be adequate. Show your dog the right behavior. 3. Praise your dog only when the dog is in a calm submissive state of mind. 4. Establish with your dog a system of communication with consistent commands and energy which he can understand. 5. Teach him consistent rules and boundaries to enable him to cope with his environment. A dog does not understand a holiday or vacation from rules. Inconsistency will be perceived by your dog as weakness in the ‘pack leader’. 6. Approach your training with calm assertive energy. Teach him to respect and trust you by handling him in a consistent manner. It is your overall attitude, your state of mind and energy that the dog is picking up and processing in his mind. III. Understand your responsibilities as a dog owner in your community A. Be aware of your dog’s behavior when you are not at home. If problems exist (such as charging the fence after the mailman or meter reader) deal with these problem situations to avoid an incidence when you are not around. Keep your dog contained at all times. Adhere to leash laws, licensing and rabies vaccination requirements. B. Serve as a canine ‘good will’ ambassador to your neighbors. Be open to concerns that your neighbors might have about your dog and fix any problems before things get out of hand. Be available as a resource to other neighbors, and be the good example others can aspire to. IV. If you are not planning to exhibit in conformation and/or weight pull or breed your dog, after consulting with your veterinarian and at an appropriate age, please consider spaying or neutering your dog.
