The big three.

Of course there’s more ways to undermine your dog’s stability, trust, and behavior around other dogs, but these are the ones I’ve seen over and over again create the most fallout the most often.

If you think about each, you’ll see some common themes: the opportunity for dogs to be pressured, to be overwhelmed, to be scared, to be bullied (or to bully). “Social” interactions while dogs are in super-hyped up, elevated states. And almost always you’ll find poor human supervision.

Add these components up, and mix in the right, or wrong dog, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for creating reactivity, mistrust, and aggression.

Yes there are dogs who frequent dog parks and have zero issues. Yes there are dogs who meet on-leash and enjoy it. Yes there are daycares where the dogs are protected and advocated for in a safe and knowledgeable fashion. It’s up to you to know whether you have one of these dogs, to know how to manage interactions, and to find places that are safe and reliable.

PS, built into the above description of common problem themes is also the exact prescription for keeping your dog safe, healthy, and trusting. Just do the reverse.

This is Eric Edwards. I had somewhat of a falling out with Danny a while back but considered him a good friend. Does anyone know if he's okay?

Dogs who wear muzzles are good dogs. Dogs who aren’t dog friendly are good dogs. Dogs who are leash reactive are good dogs. Dogs who need space are good dogs. Dogs who are scared of strangers are good dogs.

If you see someone clearly making steps to avoid you or your dog while you are out walking, please respect them.

If someone lets you know that their dog needs space or isn’t dog friendly, please respect them.

If you see someone clip their dog on lead when you approach, clip yours on too and give them space.

Some dogs don't want to interact with other dogs or people and that's fine. I'm sure you don't want to interact with everyone you see either! They still deserve to have a great quality of life and go everywhere yours gets to go as long as they are taking the right precautions.

Having a dog that needs space is a challenge all of its own, but we are doing our best to advocate for them to insure they live the best lives we can give them. Training can't happen at all unless we take these dogs into public places. To everyone with friendly dogs, please don’t be offended and please don't judge. A nervous dog can happen to anyone at anytime. Instead of playing the blame game, let's all try make that dog's life more comfortable and its owners life much easier by being understanding 🖤

Due to an injury I sustained, which most of you know about by now, there will be no puppy/green dog bite work training today. Advanced dogs may still show up and work with your regular decoy.

Thanks.
