A BIG welcome to NEW board and train student Kenzie. Kenzie, a 1.5 yr old mastiff pup will be joining 2K9 for an intensive 4 week board and train program to work on confidence building, socialization, and of course some solid obedience around real-world 🌎 distractions. Kenzie is generally a sweet and loving pup to her family members, but is extremely nervous and fearful around strangers and people coming in her house. Her stress and anxiety has led her to make poor choices at home thankfully nothing serious "yet" 🙏 her owners are on top of managing her and keep her gated away from the guests. With so many different options in the area, we are honored that Kenzie's family decided to go with 2K9 for training and to help Kenzie be the best version of herself....

Playing tug as a reward is an excellent way to bond with and engage a high-drive dog like Sammy. His days of using his owner's arm 'biting and tugging' her sleeve for attention are behind him. Instead, we’ll show him how to find satisfaction in biting a tug toy instead....

I’m currently out of the office, 900+ miles away on vacation at Disney World with my family, and I just received an unexpected message from Harvey’s owner. She shared her joy about bringing Harvey to her son’s baseball practice...something she had always wanted to do but couldn’t until now. Messages like this keep me motivated and remind me that I’m on the right path with my career. It’s moments like these that show me why we do what we do....

Trainers routinely watch dogs play the game of offering their best to those who demand it and offering something very different to those who don’t.

The sheer number of highly trained dogs running around pretending not to know anything is one of the greatest ruses ever pulled on permissive and/or gullible owners.

This is why your trainer can’t (or shouldn’t) make any guarantees about how the dog will behave with you—because if you won’t hold the dog accountable for what it knows and is capable of, your dog’s “memory” will be impressively brief.

Of course your trainer has to train you as much as they do the dog—or more—but once that knowledge is passed along, only one party can make the new reality… reality.

And yes, you can feel free to substitute child for dog if that helps bring more clarity to this dynamic that you’ve almost certainly seen in other contexts.

Dog trainers, let’s stop with all the “fixing” talk. We all know that whatever you accomplish with the dog — no matter how amazing — if the work isn’t kept up by the owner then whatever greatness of “fixing” you’ve accomplished will quickly fade.

Thus, the dog was never “fixed”

Dog owners, let’s stop with all the dog trainer should “fix” my dog talk. As stated above, whatever your trainer accomplishes with your dog, if you don’t apply the same degree of work, skill, and diligence your trainer did, all that “fixing” will disappear, along with all your money.

Thus, the dog was never “fixed”.

The reality is simple. A dog’s behavior will always revert back to whatever their environment allows — which means it’s always up for grabs, and hence why I hate the term “fixed”, because that implies something permanent has occurred, when it hasn’t.

Typically this conversation will bring up arguments about the differing value of board & trains vs one-on-ones vs day training vs… blah, blah, blah. The reality is, they all work — and they all don’t work. They each have their pros and cons, but that’s a conversation for another day.

What makes any training model work or not is the skill and insight of the trainer and their ability to actually create positive changes in the dogs they work with; the skill and ability of the trainer to then transfer these skills and insights to the owners so they can replicate the work; and finally the commitment/determination/drive of the owners to create an environment that leverages all of these newly learned skills and insights (including all personal changes that need to occur) and applies them longterm to bring out the very best in their dogs and themselves… and thus make these changes in both species permanent.

That’s the closest anyone will ever get to “fixing” a dog… but it’s more than close enough. Promise.
