Chester has come so far! He used to get growly and run away from bigger dogs. He even tried to get confrontational with another dog in his first days here. He was corrected. We worked on his skills and his confidence, and his trust. Today, I brought Cooper, aka Moose, out to play. Cooper is 9 months old and outweighs Chester at age 2. Cooper is rambunctious and a little pushy for play, as puppies can be. Six days ago, this would have intimidated Chester to the point of shaking, drooling, trying to run, and ultimately being confrontational when he couldn’t escape.

Today…an entirely different dog. I am bursting with pride and happiness for him. Today, anxiety gave way to pure joy as he chased and played until he was so calm and relaxed he just chilled out. THIS is balanced dog training. Mental anguish is resolved through clarity, and confidence opens doors to places their mind never dared walked through before. The purpose of balanced training is to create off leash freedom for their mental health. Today, Chester’s world grew much larger! To learn more about how this might help your dog, call 720-588-8094

Oh the ForceFree whackadoodles were out on patrol yesterday! Chester got a ten-minute lesson to introduce “place” and down with staying. They lost their minds, which is everything I have always warned about. They do everything they can to sound smart, put down balanced trainers and portray them like murderers. And the bots, with one friend and a single post who spam balanced trainers with all the armchair criticism when they probably aren’t even real people. Who pays them? The multi billion dollar pet industry that wants to keep selling treats? Or the companies selling anti-pull harnesses? Or perhaps big pharmaceutical companies that enjoy all the anti anxiety drugs veterinarians are prescribing to dogs that really just need CLARITY??

YOU watch the dog. Is he shut down? Is he sad? Is he anything but clear a day later…ONE DAY since being shown the expectations! Maybe those FF trainers are crapping themselves because if people found out a dog could be trained in a couple of weeks without treats, they would lose a lot of business! AND…even aggressive dogs can be saved and changed in a matter of weeks over 90% of the time after force free and positive only trainers recommend behavioral euthanasia. Think about that. Follow the money, they say.

I wanted to let everyone know that I had my final post op recheck after cataract surgery. I haven’t discussed it, but my left eye has continued being somewhat fuzzy. Today, we got to the bottom of it.

It’s very likely that the concussion I suffered from an extremely bad fall almost two years ago caused optic nerve damage in that eye. I have lost approximately 30% of my field of vision. This explains why it’s like looking through holes at times.

The good news is that it shouldn’t get worse. I retain 70% of my vision in that eye and my right eye is great, so it picks up the slack quite fine. My ability to see is excellent overall.

The bad eye is corrected to 20/100. My good eye is better than 20/20. I will see an ophthalmologist in a couple weeks to determine if we can clear it more with a contact lens prescription.

Thanks for being patient with me through all the recovery! I appreciate you all so much! 🙏

We always joke about how Mazie sleeps for 2-3 days after spending time with me. She usually loses weight because she runs it off. Here she is today, after going home yesterday evening. Sweet dreams, Mazie girl!

Chester has come so far! My goals for him were:
Weight loss
Self confidence
Excellent obedient, especially with walking
More playing

He has been here something like six days and has already accomplished so much!! On day one, he was trembling, scared of other dogs, pulled like a train on leash, and seemed to understand very little. He also was a jumper which is dangerous for his size with senior parents.

Plainly, he needed rules and boundaries. Something ForceFree training didn’t give him. Safety first, training second. He will go home a different dog.

Chester is becoming a man around the park! Tomorrow, no way to get him on an excursion but the plan is to hit a busy spot and stop for a coffee and a pup cup somewhere in the next few days. He is doing excellent! He even played a little tug and chase with me earlier today. BIG improvements for a shy guy that was slightly neurotic and overly anxious to start off with.

Posting here as a practice run for my podcast. I have some formatting things to get worked out for future episodes. I hope to bring a whole lot more real talk to everyday folks who just need clear answers that make sense.

Niko is here for a visit! So happy to see him doing so well still! Mom says he is so good that he never needs his ecollar anymore and they have continued the salmon oil I started him on for itching.
