A special thank you to Rogue Working Dog Alliance for hosting such a great event, and to SV/GSSCC Judge Raino Fluegge for the fair judging and the kind words about Larry 🙏🏆

For those who aren’t familiar with the BH-VT, it includes an obedience portion with on-leash and off-leash heeling, heeling through a group, sit, down, recall, and a long down while another dog is working. The Character/Traffic Test evaluates the dog’s temperament and stability in everyday situations around people, other dogs, traffic, and different distractions.

It’s a test of much more than obedience — it shows the dog’s control, focus, stability, and relationship with the handler

Very proud of Larry — High BH, High Obedience, and this is only the beginning. 🐩🔥🏆

LARIE DID IT! 🐩🏆

A while ago, I posted that Larie was preparing for an obedience competition. Maybe some people didn’t believe it — but I believed in this dog, his potential, and our work from day one.

Today, Larie proved it: High BH & High Obedience! 🏆

He was consistent, focused, intense, and showed beautiful harmony on the field. Seeing people surprised by a Poodle working at this level made the moment even more special.

This is proof that it’s not only about the breed. With patience, proper training, consistency, and the right guidance, every dog can show its potential.

Congratulations to Larie’s owner, Maureen ❤️ Thank you for trusting us and the process. All the work paid off, and this is only the beginning of Larie’s journey!

A big thank you to Rogue Working Dog Alliance Club for the great organization and warm welcome, to the judge and all the club members for making this day possible — and of course, thank you for the delicious food! ❤️

What an amazing day. Proud of you, Larie! 🐩🔥🏆

YOU AND YOUR DOG ARE WALKING A FINE LINE

This one is for high-level trainers and competitors getting a dog ready for Nationals or the World Championship, but it also applies to every pet dog living at home

One thing I learned while travelling and preparing my dog for the World Championship is that the closer you get to competition day, the more pressure you feel

You want more control
More precision
Better performance

So without noticing, you start asking for more and putting more pressure on the dog

A little stress today, a little more tomorrow, then more the next day

If the dog has no way to release that stress, it keeps building until a small issue becomes a big problem

At this level, you are walking a fine line

You need control, but you cannot keep adding pressure just to get it
You need to let the dog recover, but you also need to understand what recovery means for your dog
You need a real balance between negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement if you want good-quality training and a dog in the right state of mind

Sport dog or pet dog, it is the same basic rule

Everything the dog does starts as a reaction to instinct, pressure or the environment

The reaction happens again
Then again
Then it becomes a behaviour
After enough repetition, that behaviour becomes a real problem

That is when the trainer or owner starts asking

How do I make my dog stop doing this

But the dog did not create that problem overnight

The signs were already there in small moments, you just did not notice them or you did not think they were important

Then you added more pressure, the dog repeated the same reaction and the small issue became something you could no longer ignore

Before you put a lot of pressure on a dog, learn how to create balance in your training

Learn when to apply pressure and when to release it
Learn when to reward and when to let the dog breathe
Learn how much pressure your dog can handle and what kind of recovery your dog needs

Feel your dog

Know when to keep training and when to stop
Know when the dog needs work and when the dog needs a break
Do not let your stress about the competition become your dog’s stress

Before a big competition, the goal is not to train more every day

The goal is to arrive on the field with you and your dog in the best physical and mental condition possible

And if you are thinking about getting a dog

First learn how to raise one
Then get one

When you understand the dog from the beginning, you stop asking how to fix every problem because you learn how to prevent a reaction from becoming a behaviour and a behaviour from becoming a problem

High-level training is knowing when to push, when to release and when to stop
