My mission with Canine Connoisseur is not only to “train dogs”, but to rehabilitate and ultimately fulfill as many dogs that come my way while also advocating and spreading awareness for Dog Psychology. Far too many dogs are deemed unfit for society and then destroyed, due to behavior issues stemming from Human Error and our lack of understanding for Dog Psychology. Through Canine Connoisseur, I a
im to educate owners on the “Why?” behind their dog’s behaviors, as well as how to properly reinforce, prevent, manage, correct, and extinguish those behaviors. Once you have an understanding of the “Why?” to your dog’s behavior, and are meeting all of their most basic needs (Exercise, Discipline, Affection), the opportunities for success with rehabilitation, a stronger relationship, and a deeper connection with your dog are limitless!
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of the salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
PSALM 51:10-12
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
PSALM 34:18-19

Hydrate Your Dog’s Kibble! 🐾💦
-
I add water to all the dog’s Kibble for a variety of reasons.
Hydration: The majority of dogs suffer from acute dehydration due to a low moisture diet (kibble). A natural diet (raw/fresh food) would contain 70%-80% moisture and kibble contains 10%-15% (stats vary depending on the sites/sources). Adding water ensures your dogs get the moisture/hydration they need! “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink”. 🐴 Bonus tip: Watermelon, ice, bone broth or other frozen fruits/veggies are alternative ways to promote hydration when dogs aren’t drinking much on hot/active days! 💦🍉☀️
Digestion: Some dogs will swallow a few pieces of kibble whole while training or even eating fast out of a bowl. Water soaked kibble is softer and easier to chew and therefore easier to digest.
Dental: Softer kibble is easier for puppies, seniors, or any dogs with dental issues. 🦷
Weight Management: Soaked Kibble can make the dog feel fuller without needing additional calories. (This is for special circumstances. It’s natural for dogs to be “hungry” almost all the time. It’s called food drive and all dogs have it. It’s unnatural for dogs to turn down good food. Stop over feeding, obesity kills. If your dog has a weird/unhealthy relationship with food, I can help with that.)
Training: As mentioned previously, some dogs will swallow a few pieces of kibble whole while training and then some will chew and chomp on each piece like bubblegum. Water soaked kibble makes for easier hand feeding & training. It’s soft so they don’t chew like bubblegum and if they swallow a few pieces whole they’re less likely to choke on it or have issues with digestion.
Palatability: Adding water can make the kibble more appealing to some dogs. This can help build the food drive. Like milk in cereal!🥛🥣
You can add a variety to hydrate your dog’s kibble including but not limited to Goat Milk, Bone Broth, Fruits/Veggies, Fresh/Raw Food, etc. but I always add water! 💦

Intake w/ Board & Train Rosco ♥️
-
Rosco can be reactive when meeting new people. This reactivity can result in “aggressive” behaviors such as barking, lunging, nipping, etc.
However, this is not an “Aggressive Dog”! 😇
He is a young, insecure dog, merely lacking guidance through clear communication and fulfillment through exercise and mental stimulation.
Luckily, he landed himself in a loving home with committed owners, who have already begun trying to meet his needs with daily walks and it’ll only get better once we build his confidence, truly fulfill his needs, and lay a nice foundation of clear communication and obedience!
