BAMF Dog Training/Confidence Building

11/11/2025

You don’t need the perfect dog — you need the dog that helps you grow.
Sometimes we don’t get the dog we want. We get the one that challenges us to become better humans. Or we get the dog we want and screw it up causing unwanted behaviors.
Its ok. This can be a gift.
Your dog is here to teach you patience, calmness, confidence.
And once you achieve it, you have to give it away, because humanity needs patience. Humanity needs calmness.

Second session with 4 month old English Bully, Banjo.

Today we worked on impulse control, and his down. He picked up “down” pretty quick. His “leave it” command is on point.

I also got him in an appropriate size crate to prevent any accidents. He was in crate that was way to big for him.

I also started to slowly condition him to a prong collar. It may or may not be needed, but early conditioned any tool is key. Be it a regular collar, a muzzle, or even an e collar.

I can tell the owners are putting in the work due to the progress he has made in one week.

Great job chonky boy!

PSA of the day. Today I was waiting for a friend at Nahant dog beach. Just walking with Jango and my clients dog,
Sunny on lead until my friend arrived. We were heading over to Nahant beach.

While I was waiting another dog owner was on her phone, not paying attention to her off lead dog. The dog started to approach us, she pauses from her phone call and says, he’s ok, he is friendly.

I calmly responded, “one of these dogs might not be so please recall your dog”. I created space as I already knew she had no control over her dog.

Her dog might have been just fine, but I don’t need interactions with dogs I don’t know. Especially when with a clients dog.

If she had control, and was not on her phone, I would still have said the same thing. If you can’t recall your dog keep a lead on it.

WTF🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

On this edition of just terrible dog training pics/vids: Jango helping out with Tsuki’s sister, Kate.

Kate is fearful, reactive and resource guards food, space, and humans. She has landed bites on Tsuki and a family member.

So tonight we worked on her being confident around Jango and being able to share space and treats with him. She did growl at J once. She also showed her teeth. But instead of following through, she backed off after a verbal correction. Far from perfect by any means, but it went way better than expected.

The owners are putting in the work and it shows. Kate is a love bug in spite of her issues.

And Jango is finally earning his keep.

Great work by J, Kate, and the owners as well.
