That’s right, when it comes to our dogs, control is an illusion!

They tell you to buy a better leash and collar, a head harness, or a regular harness when your dog pulls.

They sell you citronella bark collars, the outdoor ultrasonic barking devices, and the e-collars for when our dogs bark.

And we use gates to keep them out of places we don’t want them to go in.

These things are absolutely necessary when you’re trying to prevent the bad behaviors, but what a lot of people miss is that they have to work on the problem before they ever go away.

Your dog is absolutely not broken, but never putting in the work to teach your dog what NOT to do is almost like you’re dog being a money pit that never gets fixed.

Bad behaviors aren’t a result of you not having control; they’re the result of your dog not being able to control themselves.

Crazy isn’t it?

We have collars to make us feel like we’re more in control.
We have head harnesses and harnesses to help us on walks.
We have the leashes that we use to keep the dog where we need them and to stop the them from doing things.

All these tools are made so that WE can control our dogs but emphasis is never put on our dogs taking ownership of that control.

I use the leash myself…

But not to continually have control. I use that tool to teach the dog the appropriate behavior or manner and then start to test them in small ways to learn to be successful on their own.

This gives our dog the ability to stop having to rely on you and start being self-reliant.

And isn’t that what we’re all wanting?

Tell me, what do you wish your dog was better at? Comment below. I’d love to hear ❤️

Everyone wants faster results — but rushing is the exact reason your dog never really learns or feels confident with the things that make them go bats&$! crazy.

And it’s the exact reason others are getting their dogs to stop barking, but yours still does.

You help your dog by interrupting your dogs PATTERN when they’re infront of their trigger.

When our dogs bark, that bark has to do what’s called “load”. It’s that moment or two before they bark when the trigger is in front of them.

In that moment, after they look at the trigger for a moment, say your reward word: “good boy/girl!” or “yes!” LOUD and grab their attention and take them out of the situation.

You just created a moment where your dog was successful and didn’t bark!

AMAZING!!!

Now go do it again!

And again!

And again!

Your dogs ability to not bark at things isn’t going to come in an instant, but over a series to small wins that you build upon.

The more you can do this, the better your dog will be.

Comment PATTERN and I’ll show you to get your dogs out of the mental chaos between their ears and into a place where they can think and listen 🐶🐾💖

That impressive Corvette looks and sounds the way it does because there was intention and integrity in its creation. The same thing is to be said for the relationship with your dog. When that gorgeous beast is seen as an extension of you and acts in a way that draws every eye that falls on them, that’s damn impressive too.
