If you have ever considered getting an e-collar for training your dog, ideally I would hope you would contact a professional to help you purchase a reliable e-collar but also to teach you how to use it.
This book will inform someone new to collars and help more experienced trainers too! I took Eric's seminar a year ago and learned so much from it! Eric Stanbro

E-Collar Without Conflict: For Pets and Working Dogs

For all my puppy owners: please take head!

It’s that time again, second fear period has officially hit 🫠 during this time I’m extra careful about what we do and don’t do! Not putting him into positions where it could be detrimental.

During the 6-12 month mark is a very common time for a lot of dog owners to desex dogs and take their dogs to off lead dog parks!
This is why so many dogs become fearful into their later years and a lot can remain that way! Hormones are a very important part of development, and placing your dog into sh*tty situations while there are hormone fluctuations is extremely unfair to your dog!

It’s important to remember fear periods are normal! Some dogs are worse than others during this time! It’s all about how you as the owner handle your dog and navigate them through this tough time.

Tonight's lesson got the assignment to order and read this to prepare for training their dog for off leash reliability.

Whether you like it or not, if you have a dog you are training it. The question is are you training it for good or are you training it for bad. Training starts before training starts. How you live with your dog dictates how your dog lives with you. They learn from everything we do, good and bad. ...

So I guess I'm going to go with a theme today. Here is another dog crate that was listed on marketplace locally here. And again I had to laugh at the image. In my opinion, while this dog seems to not mind at all being in the crate, I think it is entirely too small to leave a dog in this size crate for A long period of time like a work day. If you're traveling and you want to keep the dog contained in a safe spot in the car, this would be okay. If it's a long drive, frequent stops to stretch legs would be necessary. I think most professionals would agree that the dog should be able to comfortably stand, turn around and lay down stretched out for a correct fit in a crate.

Good morning!

This dog crate was listed on the selling wall just like this. I laughed out loud but also my heart breaks💔 a little for the dog that was so stressed out being in here. Now, I do advocate for use of dog crates because often times they are a happy safe place for the dog( with time limits) and give the owner peace of mind. What do you think was the problem here? Too small? Too much time in the crate?

I started using Kinetic dog food with my GSD. She has put on muscle and looks so good on this food. I love the size of the kibble for training, especially for laying a track. The dogs that come to me basic obedience training usually love it as well! I love that there's no chicken in the 24K formula!

Runnin’ into the same problems? 🐾 Try our Ultra 32K formula—you won’t regret it.
