โ€ฆat least it should be ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Vino just walked up to a full raw barโ€ฆ
and said, โ€œIโ€™m good.โ€

No excitement.
Limited interest.
Just walked away.

Most people would say:
โžก๏ธ โ€œHeโ€™s not food motivated.โ€

I disagree, kind of.

Heโ€™s just more motivated by the environment (almost all environments) than the food ๐Ÿ™ƒ

And that is where most people get stuck.

Because if your dog only listens when food is constantly being offeredโ€ฆ
what happens when life is more interesting than your treat pouch?

๐Ÿ‘€ Other dogs
๐Ÿ‘€ New smells
๐Ÿ‘€ Real-world chaos

Thatโ€™s where training either holds upโ€ฆ or falls apart.

Can I train a dog like this?

Absolutely.

But I canโ€™t lie - having a dog thatโ€™s more food motivated makes things ๐Œ๐”๐‚๐‡ easier.

๐Ÿฆฎ Happy training ๐Ÿฆฎ

๐Ÿ“ข YOUโ€™RE BORING ๐Ÿ“ข

Every time you call your dog, theyโ€™re asking:

๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œIs this worth it?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

If the answer is:
โžก๏ธ Low energy
โžก๏ธ One treat
โžก๏ธ No engagement

โ€ฆtheyโ€™re going to hesitate or blow you off.

Not because theyโ€™re stubborn - but because youโ€™ve become too ๐๐‘๐„๐ƒ๐ˆ๐‚๐“๐€๐๐‹๐„.

And predictable gets ๐๐Ž๐‘๐ˆ๐๐†.

The dogs that come back fast, every time?

They donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re getting -
they just know itโ€™s going to be ๐†๐Ž๐Ž๐ƒ.

Sometimes itโ€™s food.
Sometimes itโ€™s multiple rewards.
Sometimes itโ€™s play with their favorite toy.

Moral of the storyโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ›‘ ๐’๐“๐Ž๐ ๐๐„๐ˆ๐๐† ๐๐Ž๐‘๐ˆ๐๐† ๐Ÿ›‘

I thought I have heard it all ๐Ÿ™ƒ

But now itโ€™s offensive to call people โ€œdog owners?โ€

Now Iโ€™m supposed to call dog owners โ€œguardiansโ€ or โ€œpet parents?โ€

How about thisโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ll keep using the term โ€œdog ownerโ€
And you can call yourself whatever you want.

Everybody wins!

But why the verbiage change?

Maybeโ€ฆ

โžก๏ธ Thereโ€™s been a push to humanize how we view animals
โžก๏ธ The word โ€˜ownerโ€™ started to feel too transactional(not a relationship)
โžก๏ธ And honestlyโ€ฆ it just sounds nicer

None of that is wrong, I guess ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

But none of it changes what your dog actually needs.

Clear direction.
Consistent structure.
Leadership he/she can rely on.

Call it whatever you wantโ€ฆ

just donโ€™t let the language distract from your responsibility.

You invested in professional dog training.

Now your dog walks like a champion on leash.

But life gets busyโ€ฆ

And you havenโ€™t practiced in 2 months.

Now itโ€™s the weekend, and you decide to hit the farmers market - hundreds of people, dogs everywhere, food on the ground.

What could go wrong?

โ€ผ๏ธ Everythingโ€ผ๏ธ

Now your dog is:
โžก๏ธ Dragging you down the sidewalk
โžก๏ธ Locked onto every dog
โžก๏ธ Pulling toward strangers
โžก๏ธ Eating whatever they find

But hereโ€™s the truthโ€ฆ

Those arenโ€™t โ€œbad behaviors.โ€

Your dog isnโ€™t being stubborn.

Those are ๐”๐๐Œ๐€๐ˆ๐๐“๐€๐ˆ๐๐„๐ƒ ๐’๐Š๐ˆ๐‹๐‹๐’.

Your dog didnโ€™t forget - you just stopped reinforcing it and lacked accountability.

๐Ÿ˜ฎ And if Iโ€™m being ๐๐‹๐”๐๐“ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

You donโ€™t even hold yourself to that standard!

Miss the gym for a few weeks?
You expect to feel rusty.

Same goes for your dog.

Training isnโ€™t something you teach once.

Itโ€™s something you maintain.

Or you lose it.

โ‰๏ธ๐’๐“๐‘๐”๐†๐†๐‹๐ˆ๐๐† ๐“๐Ž ๐‚๐Ž๐Œ๐Œ๐”๐๐ˆ๐‚๐€๐“๐„ ๐–๐ˆ๐“๐‡ ๐˜๐Ž๐”๐‘ ๐ƒ๐Ž๐†โ‰๏ธ

You ๐๐„๐„๐ƒ to understand markers.

So what is a marker โ€” and why does it matter?

At the most basic level, markers tell your dog:

โœ… I like that
โŒ I donโ€™t like that

They create black-and-white clarity in training.

For this session, Iโ€™m teaching Bambi that
โ€œYESโ€ = explode to me and get paid.

This becomes ๐‚๐‘๐ˆ๐“๐ˆ๐‚๐€๐‹ when youโ€™re teaching behaviors.

โ€ผ๏ธ ๐ˆ๐Œ๐๐Ž๐‘๐“๐€๐๐“ โ€ผ๏ธ

If you say your marker and move at the ๐’๐€๐Œ๐„ time, thereโ€™s a high probability your dog is keying off your movement โ€” not the marker.

Now your marker has no real meaning.

Do you ๐๐„๐„๐ƒ to move after marking?

No.

But in this case, my โ€œYESโ€ marker means:
Break position โ†’ come collect reward.

So I move intentionally to build speed, intensity, and commitment.

I personally use five markers.
All simple. All clear. All powerful.

When used correctly, communication becomes effortless.

When used wrongโ€ฆ
training becomes frustrating for both ends of the leash ๐Ÿค”

PSโ€ฆ
When doing this, you are not asking for any behaviors!

Most people teach their dog โ€œdrop itโ€ or โ€œout.โ€

Hereโ€™s the problemโ€ฆ

Many dogs technically know the command โ€” but theyโ€™ve learned how to โ€œgame their owner.โ€

โžก๏ธ They drop the item
โžก๏ธ Immediately pick it back up

If this sounds familiar, itโ€™s time to change your criteria and raise your standards.

Train it correctly.
Proof it under pressure.
And practice it ๐๐„๐…๐Ž๐‘๐„ it actually matters.

Because when it really counts โ€” you wonโ€™t get a second chance.

๐๐€๐™ โ€” my boy, my gym buddy, the biggest pain in my ๐Ÿ‘, my best friendโ€ฆ

This birthday hits differently than all the others. The hard truth is, this will probably be your last trip around the sun. Typing that saddens me to my core. But this isnโ€™t about me โ€” this is about celebrating you.

Hereโ€™s my promise to you: weโ€™re riding this out together โ€” whether thatโ€™s one more month or, with a miracle, years.

Since you got sick, youโ€™ve unlocked a level of emotion and vulnerability in me that I didnโ€™t even realize was still there. For that, Iโ€™ll always be grateful ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

๐๐€๐‹๐€ โ€” my first dog. My princess. The original heart-stealerโ€ฆ

There would be no BarNone K9 without you. When I got you, I had zero clue about dogs. Little did I know that โ€œmistakeโ€ would turn into a life-changing blessing โ€” not just for us, but for every person and dog Iโ€™ve been able to help along the way.

Somehow youโ€™re ten years old and still moving through life like youโ€™re one. The joy you bring me, every single day, is impossible to put into words.

Two dogs. Two completely different journeys.
Both changed my life in ways Iโ€™ll never fully be able to repay ๐Ÿพ

We all say we want our dogs to be calm in publicโ€ฆ

But the real question is ๐‡๐Ž๐– do you actually teach that ๐Ÿค”

This is ๐Ž๐๐„ of several strategies I like to use.
To Luna, this may look ๐‚๐‡๐€๐Ž๐“๐ˆ๐‚ โ€” but itโ€™s controlled chaos.

My #1 priority here isnโ€™t obedienceโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s allowing her to ๐๐‘๐Ž๐‚๐„๐’๐’, ๐“๐‡๐ˆ๐๐Š, and make decisions while I stay responsible for her ๐’๐€๐…๐„๐“๐˜.

So why canโ€™t the average pet owner do this?

โžก๏ธ Itโ€™s easier to blame the dog
โžก๏ธ It takes quality, consistent sessions
โžก๏ธ Thereโ€™s a lack of understanding around:
โ€ข body language
โ€ข triggers & stress
โ€ข advocacy
โ€ข markers
โ€ข changing associations
โ€ข motivation
โ€ข relationship

(just to name a few ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Yet those same owners expect their dog to ๐Œ๐€๐†๐ˆ๐‚๐€๐‹๐‹๐˜ be calm in publicโ€ฆ

Yes โ€” even high-drive breeds like Dutch Shepherds & Malinois (donโ€™t get one)

Behavior > Obedience

Just because your dog knows 432 commands does ๐๐Ž๐“ mean theyโ€™re well-behaved.

Wouldnโ€™t it be nice to have a dog you donโ€™t need to micromanageโ€ฆ

A dog thatโ€™s earned enough trust to make some decisions on their own ๐Ÿคฏ

Luna has already done drills like this.
Thatโ€™s why sheโ€™s earned a bit more freedom โ€” and why Iโ€™m raising criteria.

๐Ÿšซ Do ๐๐Ž๐“ expect this on your first session(s).

Personally, I wouldnโ€™t wish a puppy on my worst enemy.

So why would I give one as a gift ๐Ÿค”

With that being said, puppies can also be an ๐€๐Œ๐€๐™๐ˆ๐๐† gift.

๐ˆ๐…๐…๐…๐…โ€ฆ

โžก๏ธ You have a reliable plan
โžก๏ธ Are proactive with training
โžก๏ธ The breed fits your lifestyle
โžก๏ธ You are ready for the responsibility

Now, can you dismiss every piece of advice I have given and end up with a great dog?

Sure.

But the probability of that is ๐„๐—๐“๐‘๐„๐Œ๐„๐‹๐˜ unlikely ๐Ÿ“ข

And if you choose to ignore my advice, at least have my information on standby because you are going to need it!

โ€œMy dog lunged out of nowhere!โ€

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that ๐Ÿ˜‚

โžก๏ธ Hereโ€™s the truth โฌ…๏ธ
Dogs donโ€™t do things out of nowhere.

In this video, Willow goes from casually ๐‹๐Ž๐Ž๐Š๐ˆ๐๐† at her environment to a hard ๐“๐€๐‘๐†๐„๐“ / ๐‹๐Ž๐‚๐Š.

๐Ÿšจ Thatโ€™s often the ๐…๐ˆ๐‘๐’๐“ warning sign that something you wonโ€™t like is coming next ๐Ÿšจ

๐ŸŽฏ My goal: interrupt, ๐„๐€๐‘๐‹๐˜.
Not during a full-blown meltdown.

Iโ€™ll use movement, leash guidance, verbal input โ€” and I tend to reward heavy when she disengages.

โžก๏ธ Remember โฌ…๏ธ
Looking is information but targeting is intent.

If I wait until sheโ€™s exploding, learning is gone.
All thatโ€™s left is ๐‚๐Ž๐๐…๐‹๐ˆ๐‚๐“ ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

But when I interrupt early?
โœ”๏ธ Arousal is lower
โœ”๏ธ The brain is still online
โœ”๏ธ Real learning can happen

Yes โ€” over time, criteria will be raised.
No โ€” I wonโ€™t micromanage forever.

But right now, because of her history, my job is simple:
Donโ€™t let the unwanted behavior get ๐‘๐„๐‡๐„๐€๐‘๐’๐„๐ƒ and gradually, Iโ€™ll be able to change her ๐„๐Œ๐Ž๐“๐ˆ๐Ž๐๐€๐‹ response ๐Ÿค”

Every dog communicates differently โ€” but the signals are always there.
Itโ€™s on ๐˜๐Ž๐” to learn your dogโ€™s language and respond with fair, meaningful feedback.

Dog owners โ€” do you have a ๐“๐ˆ๐Œ๐ˆ๐ƒ or ๐‡๐„๐’๐ˆ๐“๐€๐๐“ dog?

Good news:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Itโ€™s very common.

The real question isโ€ฆ

โ‰๏ธ Now what? โ‰๏ธ

Do you just accept โ€œthatโ€™s how my dog isโ€?

You canโ€ฆ
But I believe thatโ€™s doing your dog a ๐ƒ๐ˆ๐’๐’๐„๐‘๐•๐ˆ๐‚๐„ and taking the easy way out ๐Ÿค”

Iโ€™m all for ๐๐€๐“๐ˆ๐„๐๐‚๐„ and meeting a dog where they are. But at some point, itโ€™s time to ๐’๐“๐‘๐€๐“๐„๐†๐ˆ๐‚๐€๐‹๐‹๐˜ ๐๐”๐’๐‡ โ€” and the criteria must be raised.

Letโ€™s be honest:
Kissy noises and treats only get you so far.
Especially when ๐…๐„๐€๐‘ outweighs food motivation.

Soon, Iโ€™ll begin adding slight pressure โ€” and thatโ€™s when the ๐‹๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐“๐๐”๐‹๐ ๐Œ๐Ž๐Œ๐„๐๐“ happens.

That moment ๐”๐๐‹๐Ž๐‚๐Š๐’ a whole new dog.
A dog that learns doing โ€œhardโ€ things can actually be ๐…๐”๐ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Before I ever push, Iโ€™m doing everything possible to build:
โœ”๏ธ Trust
โœ”๏ธ Clarity
โœ”๏ธ Relationship

Itโ€™s wild how much more willing a dog is to work ๐–๐ˆ๐“๐‡ you when you invest a little time โ€” instead of forcing everything ๐Ÿ™ƒ

And yesโ€ฆ Iโ€™m 100% certain Iโ€™ll be ๐ƒ๐„๐Œ๐Ž๐๐ˆ๐™๐„๐ƒ once I raise her criteria.

If you want your dog to live in a bubble and be afraid of life โ€” thatโ€™s your choice.
I will ๐๐Ž๐“ do that to any dog, big or small.

๐€๐‹๐‹ dogs should be capable stepping onto something 6โ€“8โ€ high. And if not, ๐๐Ž๐“๐‡ of us have some work to do ๐Ÿ˜‚

โžก๏ธ REMEMBER โฌ…๏ธ

Big win or โ€œsmallโ€ winโ€ฆ
