Just last weekend I was at an event with my besties and two of us set up together, with all of our dogs joining us under our canopies. Initially, I made a big mistake adn assumed my young dog could handle sharing her space with the others, even in that very exciting environment. She seemed fine but it was apparent she was stressed when she had two reactions, one at each of my other dogs.

The stress of sharing her space, although she seemed to be fine, is what us dog trainers call a 'distance antecedent'. Others might call it trigger stacking. In essence, various things cause stress (good or bad stress) then a little thing that wouldn't normally be an issue is the straw that broke the camel's back adn we get a big, unexpected reaction.

When we are working with dogs who are reactive or who fight int eh home, it is important for us to identify and eliminate as many of these stressors as possible.

I hope to see you tomorrow at 4:30PM PST. Questions welcome!

Cheers!

Before COVID, none of us ever dreamed of teaching dog training on-line. "Sure, on-line is fine for games and cute courses, but real b-mod needs eyes and hands on!" Turns out, we were wrong - hands down, no contest, my best results are from my on-line students. But why? That doesn't make sense.... Until you think about it this way. yes, maybe I can provide better "this is what your dog needs" in the moment, while I hold the leash. But in private lessons, you get this HUGE amount of info in an...

Dream Dog is open for enrollment now UNTIL MIDNIGHT JANUARY 23RD! Have you ever heard of limiting beliefs? That quiet (or not-so-quiet) voice in your head that says: “You can’t do this.” “Your dog is too difficult.” “Don’t even dream about the life you want with your dog.” It sounds like: “I'm not good enough.” “I’ll never make the time—this will be just another thing I sign up for and abandon.” “I'm bad with tech.” “Other people are just naturally better at this.” “I’ve already messed my dog...
