Good morning!  Here is a very good and VERY IMPORTANT read!

Good morning! Here is a very good and VERY IMPORTANT read!

99% of dogs with behavioral issues donโ€™t need medication, they need rules, structure, and accountabilityโ€ฆaka high quality, reality-based training and leadership.

But current cultural and societal trends have not only disconnected us from nature and reality personally, but countless trainers โ€” whether indoctrinated or just opportunistic โ€” encourage and push owners in the direction of only sharing that which is โ€œpositiveโ€ and that which feels goodโ€ฆ even if the results created are anything but.

And so medication (along with avoidance, hyper-management, โ€œenrichmentโ€ games, and intellectually complex [and of course โ€œpositiveโ€] training protocols which yield no true positive outcomes) are used instead.

If you know what to look for, itโ€™s incredibly easy to see.

Our current obsession with positive-only/force-free lifestyles and training with our dogs โ€” approaches which donโ€™t align with reality, so of course donโ€™t create healthy results โ€” demand that we find all manner of superficial substitutes for the real stuff. Thatโ€™s it. Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s actually going on. Just look and youโ€™ll see it.

And just a heads up from the frontlines: my best guess is that about 85% of dogs who come into our program have tried medication or are still on it when they sign up. And about 1% of truly challenged, often genetically/cognitively compromised dogs still need medication post-training. Which means, almost none of the dogs on meds actually need them, or benefit from them. They just need proper, common sense, reality-based training. Period.

Just remember, it takes two to tango. Trainers who wish to lead you and your dog astray can only do so if you allow them. And so many do allow them because the emotional appeal is so strong. But as always, we can choose that which feels good, and is easy, or we can choose that which does good, and is hard.

The choice is yours โ€” just know your dog will pay the price or will excel depending on how honest, how deep, and how courageous you choose to be.

So much heartache to bear ๐Ÿ’”: In loving memory of Mia - Incredibly loving, brave, confident, powerful yet never unduly aggressive, protective but friendly. I can go on and on with compliments for the temperament and personality of this beauty. She was a true ambassador for her breed. She was regal, affectionate and loyal. A wonderful big sister to her brother Gio and Guardian of the children. My heart goes out to Carlos & Gina Rios and their family on their loss. The children can't stop asking about her. Thank you for always trusting me with both of your pups. I couldn't let the day go by without praising this beautiful girl who left her paw prints on so many hearts. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿพ

In loving memory of Stella. Sadly I recently learned that this beauty passed away April 8th from Cancer. Stella was so loving and loyal and super smart. She was a wonderful big sister to Luna who is very sad without her sister around. My heart is broken as many of my "God children" are passing away. My heart goes out to Holly & George who are devastated over the passing of their fur baby. There are no words that can express the grief that feels never ending. I'm so grateful that I was chosen to care for her and train her. I'm grateful she shared her unconditional love with me. I have so many wonderful memories with Stella. She too will forever be in my heart. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ญ

"When tomorrow starts
without me
Don't think we're far apart
For EVERY TIME you
Think of me
I'm right there
In your heart!" โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

In loving memory of Jax. I'm late in posting this and i hope that John forgives me. This handsome, fun loving, happy go lucky boy with an awesome temperament passed away mid March. Jax was going to be 12yrs old. This was sudden and unexpected and I know that the Franza family is still grieving his loss and so am I. Jax too was an ambassador for the bully breed. One of the best I had the pleasure of training and taking care of him whenever they would go away. He was such a pleasure. I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of his life. He definitely left his paw prints in my heart. He will NEVER be forgotten. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ญ

"Your life was a Blessing
Your memory a Treasure
You are Loved beyond words
Missed beyond measure!"

~No longer by my side but forever in my heart! ~

Solar Eclipse Pet Safety! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ

Solar Eclipse Pet Safety! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ

The Earth unexpectedly showed us what it can do in the form of earthquakes this week. On Monday, April 8, 2024 itโ€™s time for Space to show off in the form of a Solar Eclipse! A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly and entirely in front of the sun, and it is rare because the orbit of the moon is not a perfect circle around Earth, and it does not orbit Earth in the same plane as Earth orbits the sun.

If youโ€™re wondering how to keep your pets safe has you covered. While pets donโ€™t normally look up at the sun the sudden changes in light can confuse them. Best practice is to keep pets indoors and cover windows during the time of the eclipse in your area. Just be cautious and keep them safe. The swift changes in light can impact an animal in the same way as fireworks and/or thunderstorms.
๐Ÿถ ๐ŸŒŽ ๐ŸŒ–

โฐ Estimated times for MD, DE, NJ, PA, NY & CT appears to be 2 pm - 4:30ish. Check your local news for more specific viewing times for the eclipse in your area.

๐Ÿ‘€ PAWrents will need special certified glasses to view. Do not look up at the sun without these glasses bc you can cause damage to your eyes. Many local libraries are giving these away! ๐Ÿ‘“

This is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH! ๐Ÿ™Œ

This is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Owners, once you truly get that nothing changes with your dog until you change, youโ€™ll be prepared for reality. Whether that be transforming yourself and your dog, or settling for the status quo with both of youโ€”at least you will know precisely where you stand and also precisely what to expect.

Trainers, once you truly get that nothing you can do with a dog will actually change the dog unless its owners change, youโ€™ll also be prepared for reality. Whether that be letting go of unrealistic expectations (and the frustration/resentment that goes with) for the undetermined, or falsely feeling like Superman/Superwoman because of what youโ€™re capable of achieving with the dogโ€”at least youโ€™ll know precisely where you stand and what to expect.

If both owners and trainers agree to work within the framework of reality and the obviously observable dynamics between owner and dogโ€”or environment and dogโ€”then both parties can approach this dog training enterprise with clarity and healthy expectations. Which would save much disappointment, resentment, and heartache on both sides.

The upshot? Owners, unless youโ€™re truly prepared to change whatever is required to change your dog, itโ€™s best that you save your time, money, and hopes. Trainers, unless your owners are truly prepared to change whatever is required to change their dog (this is your job to suss out), then please save them their time, money, and hopesโ€”and on the way youโ€™ll save your well-being and avoid much of the emotional burnout that derails so many.
