Hard to beat fall in Colorado.

Getting some training in, doing a little exploring, and stopping for a picture because those colors were too good to pass up haha.

This is a big part of what we’re working toward at Corsetti K9. Being able to take your dog places, include them in your plans, and actually enjoy that time together.

The walks, the adventures, and the little moments along the way. That’s what makes the work worth it.

From searching for explosives overseas to riding the Georgetown Loop Railroad and enjoying the foliage with my little girl.

Fiddy has lived one hell of a life haha.

I spent years working alongside this dog in the Marine Corps, and now I get to watch him be part of my kids' childhood. That's something I'll never take for granted.

I spend a lot of time talking about obedience, structure, expectations, and accountability. But sometimes I think we forget what we're working toward in the first place.

Being able to simply enjoy life with our dogs.

Taking them places, including them in family adventures, making memories, and knowing they can be part of those experiences.

Fiddy is getting older, and I know we don't have forever together. But watching this old retired war dog enjoy his retirement surrounded by my family is something pretty special.

No training lesson today. Just a little girl, an old dog, and some beautiful Colorado fall colors.

We practice what we preach.

Fiddy and I were camping in the mountains when this bull moose came running straight through our camp.

It startled both of us.

Fiddy’s first instinct was to go after him. He started to take off, I marked it with a “No,” recalled him, and he disengaged. The video starts right after that because I actually had time to get my phone out haha.

That was it.

No chasing a moose through the woods. No screaming his name over and over. No wondering whether he was eventually going to decide to come back.

Training mattered in that moment.

Having your dog off leash is not about your dog being friendly. It is not about hoping they stay close. And it definitely is not about saying, “He usually listens.”

It means having enough communication, obedience, and accountability that when instinct kicks in, excitement spikes, or something completely unexpected happens, you can still communicate with and control your dog.

Because out here, the consequences can be real.

A dog chasing a bull moose could very quickly turn an incredible wildlife encounter into an emergency. And beyond the safety of our own dogs, taking them into the outdoors means respecting the wildlife that already lives there.

Our dogs should not become a nuisance to wildlife simply because we want them to have freedom.

Freedom has to come with responsibility.

Fiddy gets to hike, camp, explore, and enjoy the mountains off leash because we have spent years building the communication and obedience that make that freedom possible.

This is what we mean at Corsetti K9 when we talk about creating a dog team.

With Heart of the Beast hitting theaters, there is something I hope people keep in mind when they walk out of that theater thinking Military Working Dogs are the coolest dogs on the planet.

They are.

But Hollywood shows you the sexy part.

It shows the intensity. The obedience. The athleticism. The bond between handler and dog. The missions. The explosions. The dog doing incredible things on command.

What it doesn't show you nearly as well is everything that comes before and after that moment.

I know because I lived both sides of it.

FFidelio Y220 and I deployed together to Syria while I was a Marine Corps Military Working Dog Handler. He was a Patrol and Explosive Detection Dog trained to search for explosives, perform patrol work, and apprehend when necessary.

Years later, I was fortunate enough to retire him and bring him home.

Now the Military Working Dog who once operated in combat lives with my family.

And transitioning a high-drive working dog from that environment into a peaceful family home teaches you very quickly that genetics, experiences, training, structure, fulfillment, and management matter.

German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, Border Collies, and other working breeds were intentionally developed for specific jobs over generations.

You don't purchase one and automatically get the polished dog you saw in a movie.

You get the genetics.

The drives.

The instincts.

The intensity.

Then comes the training.

Months and years of it.

That doesn't mean these breeds can't be phenomenal family dogs. They absolutely can be.

But the home has to be prepared for the dog, not just attracted to the image of the dog.

A backyard isn't a job.

A daily walk isn't always fulfillment.

And wanting a badass dog isn't the same thing as being prepared to live with one.

So go see the movie. Appreciate these dogs. Be amazed by what they're capable of.

Just remember that Hollywood shows you the highlight reel.

The dog still has to come home when the movie ends.

The dog training community can be an interesting place.

There is plenty of gatekeeping, judgment, ego, sabotage, and just plain weird behavior floating around. Which makes me appreciate having people in this profession who are genuinely some of my best friends that much more.

Quality over quantity every single time.

Fellow Marine Corps Veteran. Fellow Military Working Dog Handler. Fellow dog trainer and business owner. And one of my best friends since we met at Ashley Kennels on Camp Lejeune back in 2016. Ryan at Catulus Kennels in Tennessee!!!

Nothing quite like having a rough day and receiving a completely unsolicited video of a feral kennel tech caught on game camera.

This absolutely killed me.

One works. One waits. Both learn.Structure, patience, and neutrality around distractions. That’s the work.

Not every dog can ignore a flying monkey, but Charley can.

Neutrality training teaches dogs that not every strange sight, sound, or distraction deserves a reaction. Sometimes the goal is simply to notice it, stay neutral, and move on.

Apparently, we do weddings at Corsetti K9 now.

Winston is one of my Board & Train alumni, and when his humans got married, I got the call to be his handler for the day.

Which basically meant Dog Trainer, canine concierge, treat supervisor, crowd control, photo assistant, and Winston’s personal security detail.

We made the rounds visiting guests, he collected what was probably an unreasonable number of treats, I maintained control of him throughout the ceremony, and we stayed on standby anytime the bride, groom, or photographer needed Winston for pictures, including making sure he was actually looking at the camera when it counted.

And Winston absolutely understood the assignment.

This is also exactly why I put so much emphasis on real world training. The goal isn’t just having a dog that listens during a training session. It’s having a dog you can confidently include in the parts of your life that actually matter.

Weddings included, apparently.

So yeah... we do weddings at Corsetti K9.
