You see it all the time in today's crazy world. People trying to make you think things are the way they WANT it to be, not how it REALLY is.

In the dog training world, they want you to think that discipline, yes, even saying "no" to your dog is not necessary, harmful, and may shut down your dog, or ruin your relationship.
Does that sound like reality or gaslighting to you? Does that sound like you would develop a dog with any manners or have any standard of behavior or an entitled terror?

👉 The reality is, if you want your dog to behave well or reliably listen to you, there has to be some form of discipline at some point.👈 Some need more, some don't need much at all. Some require more firmness, some only very soft. But they will need it.

"DIscipline", "correction", "punishment" in this context means a consequence to provide a learning experience to decrease, stop, or eliminate a behavior.

Now, providing that lesson in a safe way that is not harmful to the dog or putting you in danger, while effectively communicating that lesson, is something that requires some skill and proper tools.

The professional you seek for help in this manner should not be trying to deceive you away from what you know is reality, but should be able to convey the means to provide necessary discipline effectively and safely.

Be careful what you ask for... Most of the time by a long shot, just the presence of a German Shepherd or Rottweiler at your side is deterrent enough.

Teaching Aggression on Command: Are You Ready for the Weight of That Responsibility?

“Can you train my dog to protect me?”

It’s a question we hear more often than you’d think.
And the answer isn’t simple.

Yes—dogs can be trained to show aggression on command.
But should they?

👁️ Controlled aggression isn’t a party trick.
It’s not a shortcut to security.
It’s a high-stakes responsibility with real risks for your dog, your family, and the public.

Before even thinking about protection work, a dog needs:
✅ Flawless obedience
✅ Rock-solid impulse control
✅ Confidence—not fear
✅ Proper socialization
✅ And a human who truly understands the why behind the want

🚨 Improper aggression training can:

- Trigger fear-based reactivity
- Create unpredictability
- Lead to liability issues ..... or tragedy

📚 At Long Dog Inc., we believe in ethical, informed protection work that puts clarity, control, and canine welfare first. Although we do not offer this type of training, we do have some connections that do so if you're curious if your dog is a candidate for this kind of training, or if there’s a better, safer path forward, DM us for an honest, referral.

A few pics from our trip to downtown with Hudson!

He was just so frantic and out of control on walks before. Now, his owners, who live just down the street, will be able to take pleasurable walks with him throughout the summer!

I always look out for opportunities to give dogs, especially puppies, exposure to things that may be a trigger. This wood chipper was very loud, but Hunny behaved wonderfully as we stopped on our walk to watch the activity going on.
