The one thing I want ALL dogs to know!

Published almost 2 years ago • 1 min read

No matter age, size, how social a dog is, how anxious or how confident the dog is, whether they live alone or in a pack, are a brand new puppy, adolescent, or senior... there is one thing all dogs need to know.

We can go for walks with or past other dogs WITHOUT INTERACTING

We don't have to say hi, we don't have to sniff bums, and we don't have to play. Really! ;)

When our dogs learn that now every dog is a potential threat or playmate, we take a lot of the arousal/excitement out of greetings.

For dogs living in a multidog home, they learn that they can just let the other dog do their own thing, play with that toy, chew that bone. This is all easier for the dogs to learn if first we teach them how to go for no-contact walks.

Considering joining the next Deep Dive?

This is my super popular mentorship program in which I spend 8 weeks with a small group of people struggling with similar issues. This Deep Dive focuses on dogs who fight at home. Because this is a custom experience and I get to know each of you and your dogs intimately, space is limited to only 6 people.

BONUS!

Everyone who signs up before midnight May 26th (PST) gets my Stationing course FREE! This will jump start your journey to having a peaceful home.

Hey friend, I had a visitor this week—a nine-week-old working line Aussie named Gator. She came over for a few hours of socialization, and we packed a lot of learning into some very short play sessions. I started some patterns and structure for self control and arousal management without doing obedience drills. A few highlights: Toy trading — Prevent keep-away games and resource guarding before they start, and build a foundation for recall away from dogs and prey animals. Sit for the toy —...
