Kati Peppe, owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training, is passionate about dog training and behavior, and even more passionate about sharing the truth even though so many people get their panties in a twist about it. If you've ever struggled with your dog or wondered why the dog training advice out there doesn't seem to work, this entertaining and thought provoking, yet brutally honest, podcast is for you! Served with a little salt and lots of love.

This might be my least favorite topic to discuss. BUT it is by far one of the most common questions we get: How do you handle off leash dogs?
Here's the thing, you will never be able to avoid them completely (unless you just stay home). So I'm going to cover the most important things for you to do before heading out into the wild with your dog for an off leash adventure. Like knowing how to really tighten up your rec...
Yes, maybe. There, is that clear enough? We want to give our customers the best chance of success so we leave nothing out. Results matter to us. Your success matters to us. And we wouldn't ask you to do anything that we didn't think was potentially a necessary piece to the puzzle.
Every dog and every family is so incredibly unique, that the fact is, no two dogs need exactly the same thing. But you could s...
I am taking a minute to talk about the health and safety of our dogs. I've had several long term customers lose their dogs over the last couple of years, and they were all very unfortunate events that really couldn't have been prevented. BUT uncontrollables always get me thinking about controllables as, well, that's all we can control!
Some of the things I recommend when thinking about the health and safety of a dog ...
Dogs Chew. They do all kinds of awful things and dangerous things, especially when you're not looking. So what do you do? And what should you not to do. One thing is for sure, we don't want you spending the next two years of your life trying to stay consistent with "redirecting your dog". We talk about the most common advice, why it won't work, and what does!

Everybody knows dogs are gross. Everybody knows they like dirty socks, dead animals, and even eating poop. But this is the first time I've heard of a dog eating so much poop that they are pooping about 4 or 5 times more than normal..
If you have a dog that eats poop, this one is for you! But honestly, if you have a dog with any objectionable behaviors like jumping, barking, counter surfing, etc, this is all super val...
If there are behaviors your dog is allowed to do sometimes but not all the time, you might wonder if you are confusing them. And you might be. But if you've listened to me long enough, you know that the key to reducing confusion is to have a clear pattern. The problem comes in when us humans change the pattern (ironically, usually because we are worried about confusion).
You can absolutely have your dog make di...
We are talking about the icky dirty word PUNISHMENT today. You guys, I talk about this for a reason..it's what EVERYBODY needs. It's what EVERYBODY is missing. It's what EVERYBODY is worried about. Or..they're doing it, but very badly.
Ironically, avoiding aversives is THE THING that will result in a bad relationship and small life. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
You're human. So you think like a human. I'm he...
Separation anxiety is a common problem but exists on a pretty broad spectrum. When you have a dog at the extreme end of the spectrum you are unable to live your life. It is all consuming. Every little mundane thing becomes an issue. Everything from showering to going to work, to going to a dr.appointment or a friend's house..because if you can't take the dog, someone needs to come sit them.
When you are dealing with ...
In this episode, I'm talking about a topic that comes up in almost 100% of our go home lessons. Once you teach your dog what the word no means, they tend to be very responsive to the word. No. This leaves people thinking that they can use the word no stop behaviors without needing to use any kind of tangible correction.
And although we might all do that every once in awhile, there is a problem with doing that r...
I get lots of great questions from our clients and listeners. Here are a few that I get asked a lot.
Have you ever had a dog you couldn't train? Answer: not a normal dog. We have had a few that didn't have much hope, but it's extremely rare. Maybe 1 out of 500 has a very poor prognosis of being able to get to a point where they are "safe enough" to stay in their home. I describe what was different about these d...
Are you worried about inadvertently creating negative associations if you correct your dog? You're not alone. We hear this a lot. Especially around fussing in the kennel, but there are hundreds of contexts this can be a concern, and luckily, they are all mostly handled the same way.
It's really important that your dog understands that consequences are in fact tied to their behavior, and not random or tied to only to ...
When we get dogs with behavioral challenges, especially if they are anxious or nervous dogs, a huge piece of the rehab is the human. We often get dogs that have struggled for years, and the environment is always a factor in the path that the dog is on.
It is imperative that we change the environment and change the interactions. That means rewiring the humans so we can rewire the dog. It is very unnatural to res...
I love this episode, guys. I'm talking about all the amazing things you can do for you and your dog through training. This might be as simple as teaching sit or it might be using sit as a way to help your dog overcome fear or it might be as in depth as using e-collar skills to help your dog avert their gaze from a trigger that makes them uncomfortable.
This is the whole reason that we keep some dogs longer. Some dogs...
We are talking about the physical feedback necessary to actually maintain the control end of the leash. We see folks relinquish control to the dog all the time for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes we tend to treat certain moments like they are unimportant because they are brief in nature (like walking to the car) but the fact is ALL moments are important, and all moments are learning moments.
But at the core, I t...

Okay. This is the most common question, at least after "when can we take the e-collar off?" Neither question has a straight answer, either. But I think the most succinct response is you can take it off when you can take it off (might be never) and the right level is the one that works (in most cases).
Most people don't realize that we can use our e-collars (aka big, scary shock collars) in a variety of ways. We...
Here is a list of 5 rather random things that I hear people say they are doing VERY frequently. And they are things I wouldn't recommend. These things are usually not helpful and often even make things much worse.
5- Tethering your puppy or dog to you all day
This is supposed to strengthen your bond and "reduce freedom" but really it helps create a needy dog with potential separation issues. It also allows you t...
Puppies! We've been talking about them a lot lately. One thing I hear over and over again is people justifying behavior as "puppy" behavior. And although there might be some truth to that in a way, the dangerous part of that is attached to that statement, logically, would be that once the puppy isn't a puppy anymore the behavior goes away naturally. And THAT couldn't be farther from the truth in most cases.
Puppies e...
Food! Most dogs love it. But some dogs couldn't care less about it. Some dogs are too reactive or too nervous to take it. So what do we do to motivate our dogs with food if they aren't the most food motivated?
There are ways to make food more desirable. One of which is to use it when the dog is hungry. This might mean training before a meal or it might mean skipping a meal or reducing meal size for a few days. ...
