RK9 Fast Track gives you the same proven system I use in my board-and-train, for a fraction of the cost, and you get to do it from home, with your hands on the leash. This is for dog owners who are tired of chaos, tired of yelling, and ready to finally enjoy their dog again!

A common question we get is “how often should I use the crate or place time?”. While it does depend on your specific dog and circumstances, this is my take on using the crate and place. Dogs (and humans!) need rest, especially if our minds and bodies are active during the day. Make sure to give yourself and your dog plenty of time to rest and reset 💆‍♀️

Just some thoughts for today 🌻

Telling our dogs and other people no is so dang challenging at first but very rewarding once you get used to it. Saying no to the stuff I don’t want just gives me energy for the stuff I do want, and that’s what really matters.

Dog training can be immensely rewarding, but it also comes with responsibilities. Recognizing and becoming aware of the mistakes you are making with your dog can set you up for major success!

The smallest steps you take can have the most impact if that is what keeps you going.

If you are going from no structure or training at all, my biggest advice is to understand that every step towards a new habit or pattern is a win! Don’t try and do everything at once. Instead, start with habits you know you can implement: afternoon crate or place time, using your tools on walks, doing 5 minutes of commands before dinner, etc.

Having a trained dog is simply a part of life and the habits you are starting are a part of the new identity you are creating. Ask those who exercise regularly and eat well: it’s not longer something they think about, it’s just a part of life. That is how we must think of dog training. You AND your dog will both make mistakes, but as long as you don’t give up completely, you are never failing.

What can also help is having awareness of the habits you and your dog have that aren’t serving you anymore. Awareness is the first step to change, and if you can be aware of what’s not serving you anyone, it will be much easier to drop it when you’re ready. Changing who we are is tough, especially when so many patterns are forced on us through conditioning. You got this!
