Benji is looking for a new home.
Through no fault of his own or his owners he will need to move on as his characteristics just aren't working out with his current people...
Benji completed a full behavioral board and train with me back in 2022.
He is a typical bulldog personality...very over the top in his reactions. He goes from 0-100 real quick when put in the wrong situation.
He is dog reactive and selective with people.
He has had great experiences with both, when properly introduced. He will be a strict management dog not suited for homes with young children or very busy social lives.
He knows all his commands, and is crate trained and E-Collar trained. I have had him with some of my dogs but will always need guiding corrections and structure in his life.
HE IS NOT FOR SOFT PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE WITH SETTING BOUNDARIES.
He is up to date on vaccines and has been neutured.
He also has IVDD a spine issue, you can see it in his movement and it may affect him more as he ages.
Right now though, he is rocket fast and mobile.
Benji was born Dec 31, 2019
His owners are not in a rush to rehome him and we will be doing strict screening on finding him the right home.
Again don't let his cuteness fool you, this dog will need a lot of guidance and management in his life, but can and has been hugely successful in the right environment

Thank you for being my Waterdogs family for the past decade.
It is a bittersweet moment to announce, that I will be watching the sunset from a different space in the future.
I have had the absolute honor of getting to know you and your dogs over the past decade. You have helped me grow, and celebrate and mourn and kept me going through it all...
You are my family. You have taught me so much
I am starting the next chapter in my life... it's exciting and terrifying all at once.
I will still be in touch with everyone. I will still be offering virtual training and consulting for all... but I will not be operating in person anymore in Ontario.

It has been a tough decision to make... I hope it's the right one. My heart feels it's time to start over... still doing what I love after some much needed time off.
I'm going to have some "me" time... some time to breathe... and maybe even get my own dogs trained for a change...lol. I'll have some time on my hands.
I can't say for sure how much.

I'm going to miss you all so much... please stay in touch 😭
This is not goodbye...
This is thank you... for trusting me with your dog and becoming part of my WaterdogsK9 family...
You made me brave enough to turn the page...

RESCUE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR POOR BEHAVIOR...
When I first meet with a client I ask... please tell me a bit about your dog and what you'd like help with...
First words often out of people's mouths are.. it's a rescue.
OK, so tell me what's going on?
Well my dog doesn't listen
They bark at everything
They jump all over my guests
And they pull me all over the place on walks...
I'm always stumped as to why people think that telling me the dog is a rescue makes any difference to those behaviors. Or why should that dog get treated any different than a dog that wasn't "a rescue" when it comes to building better behaviors...
The dog in the picture here is my "rescue" ... Hera
I've owned her for just over a year... she's 9.
She is a Belgian Malinois
If you don't know the breed... the quick explanation is a strong, intelligent breed created to bite... but also a total crackhead of the dog world... they are not pets.
When Hera came to live here she immediately learned the rules...
You can not pull on leash...
You can not jump on people...
You can not bark incessantly
And much more...
She had to follow the same rules as everyone else here... she was very rude and pushy
I did not let her get away with undesirable behaviors...
I trained her, I corrected her and I gave her boundaries.
I did not allow her to blurr lines in the beginning because she came from a sh*tty situation.
I did not feel sorry for her...
She did not feel sorry for her...
I guess I should mention one more thing about this pushy malinois...
SHE IS TOTALLY BLIND.
She was surrendered to be euthanized because she went blind... nice people huh?
We took her because we know the breed
We took her because if she ended up in the wrong person's hands who felt sorry for her, that pushy behavior would become dangerous.
She lives a great life here...
She is happy...
She also very clearly understands what the rules are... and respects them even when she has physical limitations.
I've adapted her training to accommodate her differences but I have not adapted the rules.
She has no idea that she was rescued...and doesn't care she's blind... she still wants to be a Malinois and do Mali things.
Rescued dogs learn and operate the same as any other dogs... yes they may have some baggage to unpack... but it shouldn't give them a hall pass to wreak havoc on our lives
It's up to us to stay consistent...
Don't feel sorry for them... if anything... they were smart and strong enough to survive...

Say hi to Buddy... the newest addition to my crazy family. Buddy is 8 years old and was put up.on kijiji. I found him and made him mine. So far, he seems very sweet...but you never know the dog you have until you spend at 3 months together
He will not have all the rights and privileges my other dogs have yet...
Even though I do this as a professional, I will not put myself or him in possible jeopardy by rushing into letting him sleep in my bed and letting him run free. So far he's been an angel... but we are still "just dating "
I see so many people making the mistake of trusting an animal too quick... as cute and floofy as he is... he still has 42 sharp edges. I can't wait to show Buddy's progress with you
