But these tips can get you on the way to building something new with your dog and helping them (and you) be calmer and more confident.

Everybody has an opinion on what you should and shouldn't do with your dog, and how you build a "good" relationship with them. But the problem is they don't take into account each dog's specific personality. Also.. most of it is just plain made up garbage with the claimed benefits having no basis in reality. This is because they are missing the thing that actually matters the most, which is YO...
Dogs guard resources. This is a normal behavior. People often think of their dog as either aggressive or not aggressive as if they can only be one or the other, but any dog can exhibit aggressive behaviors, even if they never have before.
There is a lot of advice out there on how to prevent resource guarding, and most of it is just blather, so we are going to parse through that and determine how much value the...
Coming back when called is one of the most important things you can teach your dog. It could save their life!

And how do you fix it?

Purely positive training cannot eliminate reactivity in most cases. Rescues usually can't either because they usually only offer purely positive services. And your dog isn't eligible for them because they are too reactive...so there's that. Often times reactivity and aggression are even covered up so that the dog can be adopted out easier. Lies, lies, and more lies. Their solution? Just draw the curta...
Even after training some folks continue to struggle with their dog's behavioral issues. And sometimes that is because some dogs are more challenging. We are, after all, dealing with the nervous system. All dogs are wired uniquely. But the vast majority of the time we can see right away why some of these deep set patterns and relationships have not changed.
It pays to remember that all of your dog's behavior...
Doggy daycare and dog parks carry a high level of risk and a very low level of benefit. What has become obvious to me over the years is that a lot of dogs don't actually enjoy themselves in these environments but that it just isn't always obvious. Until it is. And that is often post training because your dog is now used to being in environments where dogs are under control and someone is advocating for them....
Does your dog go crazy when people come over? Do they beg when you're eating? Or maybe they are always getting into stuff or stealing socks out of the hamper or chewing your furniture?
These are all reasons why people love using the place command. But experience has taught us that place doesn't really "fix" these problems on its own. So why do we really love it? And why do we tell people to do it?...
Some dogs can be super big babies. Big dogs and small dogs alike can fall into this category. People with these types of dogs struggle sometimes because number one it's embarrassing, and number 2 they think they are hurting their dog. This often means staying stuck or being inconsistent. It helps to understand arousal and how vocalization can be tied to that.

Do you have to "trade" your dog things to get things from them? This is really common, and although it sometimes works, it might not always. Even if it does work, we discuss the reasons it's generally a bad idea, and what the best way is to take an item away from a dog without the conflict of having to reach in and physically take the item away, which we never do. Bones, food, toys, household items..d...
All too often we get calls for behavioral issues AFTER something goes completely off the rails, but often there were signs right along that things were headed in the wrong direction. Aggression, guarding, separation anxiety, etc.
That being said, can things change or develop suddenly? Did your dog have a traumatizing event that led to a change in behavior? If your dog is pretty well behaved are we sure we are seeing w...
Regression is normal. Almost everyone is going to deal with this in some way at some point. Maybe you go away and leave your dog with someone else and it's as if they've forgotten everything. Or maybe there has been a gradual divergence from the once rock solid training you did. OR maybe your reactive dog started acting up again on walks.
The good news is, this is normal. Behavior isn't sedentary. ...
