I would never tell you what to do with your dog or your money. However, I want to share my personal experience…

In 2018, I purchased insurance for both of my dogs through Trupanion.

For almost seven years, I paid every month yet didn’t file any claims - what a waste of money, right? I came so close to canceling my policy.

πŸ™πŸ½ π“π‡π€ππŠ π†πŽπƒ 𝐈 πƒπˆπƒπβ€™π“ πŸ™πŸ½

As many of you know, Naz was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in June 2025 and was given 6 to 12 months to live.

Here we are, nearly 15 months later πŸ’ͺ🏽

‼️ Since he was diagnosed, his vet bills have totaled to roughly $30,000 ‼️

And like many of you, I don’t have 30k laying around for vet bills.

If you purchased pet insurance, congratulations on being ππ‘πŽπ€π‚π“πˆπ•π„ πŸ‘πŸ½

If you do ππŽπ“ have pet insurance, at least seriously consider putting money aside every month. It’s not a matter of πˆπ… your dog will eventually need medical care but 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍.

Let’s be clear, even the best insurance doesn’t cover everything. I’ve still paid deductibles, exam fees, noncovered expenses, monthly premiums and my portion of each eligible bill. And I can live with that.

What I can ππŽπ“ live with is…

➑️ Finances being the deciding factor in whether my dog lives or dies ⬅️

Ultimately, this is a personal decision only π˜πŽπ” can make. But please take the time to genuinely think about it now, before you’re forced to make that decision during an emergency.

😀 π’π“π‘π”π†π†π‹πˆππ† π“πŽ 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 β€œπƒπŽπ–πβ€ 😀

There are several ways to teach a dog to β€œdown.”

Unfortunately, many dog owners and even trainers become one trick ponies 🀐

They learn one method, and when it doesn’t work, they assume the dog is being stubborn.

But what happens when the dog in front of you could benefit from a different approach?

β€œDown” can be a 𝐕𝐔𝐋𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 position. Some dogs will offer it immediately. Others will do almost everything in their power to avoid it!

➑️ Honest moment… ⬅️

When I first started training dogs, I did a lot of two week board and trains. And for 824 reasons, I 𝐂𝐀𝐍’𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 them now 😑

One of those reasons is the π‹πˆπŒπˆπ“π„πƒ π“πˆπŒπ„π‹πˆππ„. When you feel pressured to teach a handful of behaviors quickly, it becomes easier to focus on getting the result by any means necessary, even if that means being π”ππ…π€πˆπ‘ to the dog.

‼️ πˆβ€™πŒ 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 πŽππ„ πŽπ… 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐖 π‡πŽππ„π’π“ π“π‘π€πˆππ„π‘π’ π–πˆπ‹π‹πˆππ† π“πŽ π€πƒπŒπˆπ“ 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 ‼️

Through maturing as a trainer, continuing my education, and getting my hands on tons of dogs, I’ve learned several efficient approaches.

This little β€œtrick” with my leg works with many dogs, but it’s not the be all, end all.

Just remember, when one approach doesn’t work, it doesn’t mean the dog is being stubborn.

Go back to the drawing board, try something different, or take some π“πˆπŒπ„ to train other things before coming back to it.

I think you will be surprised how much easier teaching β€œdown” can become as the π‘π„π‹π€π“πˆπŽππ’π‡πˆπ improves πŸ€”

If you are considering researching a local dog trainer…

‼️ π†πŽπŽπƒ π‹π”π‚πŠ ‼️

You will probably find:

➑️ Fancy websites filled with buzzwords
➑️ Businesses paying to appear at the top of Google
➑️ Big social media followings, which are not automatically a bad thing
➑️ Limited videos showing the actual work
➑️ Entire pages dedicated to bashing other trainers

It blows my mind that someone can set aside time during a busy day to research trainers, only to end up more π‚πŽππ…π”π’π„πƒ than when they started πŸ™ƒ

Some red flags are extremely easy to spot…

Others are things most dog owners would never think to ask about until someone with experience points them out - that’s the whole reason for this post πŸ’ͺ🏽

And remember this…

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

If you understand the importance of clear communication, this is π†πŽπ‹πƒ.

Communicating with our dogs isn’t nearly as complicated as we make it but it does require π‚π‹π€π‘πˆπ“π˜ on our end.

➑️ β€œYes” = You’re released to take the reward.

➑️ β€œGood” = Hold position. The reward will come to you.

Here’s where most people mess this up:

‼️ They say the word and move at the 𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐂𝐓 π’π€πŒπ„ π“πˆπŒπ„ ‼️

When those happen together, your movement can πŽπ•π„π‘ππŽπ–π„π‘ your words. The dog ππ‘πˆπŽπ‘πˆπ“πˆπ™π„π’ any/all visual cues instead of listening to what you’re saying.

Then we get frustrated because the dog is β€œmessing up,” when they are responding perfectly to the picture 𝐖𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 πŸ™ƒ

Watch Tiger closely…

He initially starts to move after hearing β€œgood,” 𝐁𝐔𝐓 then catches his own mistake and holds position. That correction matters, it’s one of those π‹πˆπ†π‡π“ππ”π‹π moments where you can see the dog processing the information.

He starts to move after hearing β€œgood,” catches his own mistake, and holds position. Soon after, he releases on β€œyes” without waiting for me to move.

➑️ Same setup.
➑️ Different word.
➑️ Different response.

That’s not Tiger guessing or following a predictable pattern. That’s π‚π‹π€π‘πˆπ“π˜.

The word should ππ‘π„πƒπˆπ‚π“ what happens next, not get buried underneath your movement.

Before blaming your dog or adding more pressure, slow yourself down and clean up π˜πŽπ”π‘ communication and watch how much more enjoyable training becomes for ππŽπ“π‡ of you.

πŸ€” πŠππŽπ– 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 π“πŽ 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐏𝐓 πŸ€”

I always have a game plan heading into a training session.

But over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to adapt, especially in environments where I’m ππŽπ“ 100% in control. So basically every real world environment πŸ˜‚

I went into this session simply wanting to work Tiger around the little white dog from a distance. I thought we would get a good repetition and move on.

Then the plan changed very quickly πŸ™ƒ

When the black dog came up from behind us, I honestly expected Tiger to get up.

And if he had, I wouldn’t have been discouraged. Getting up wasn’t the problem. I only would have corrected him πˆπ… he escalated by becoming vocal or lunging at the dog.

All I needed to do was:

➑️ Stay calm/confident
➑️ Keep a short but loose leash
➑️ Communicate with markers - β€œgood”
➑️ Reward the decisions I wanted more of
➑️ Be ready to advocate for him if needed

That may sound like a lot, and at first it is. But when you put in enough reps, these things start to become π’π„π‚πŽππƒ 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄.

Remember the goal of training…

It’s not πŒπˆπ‚π‘πŽπŒπ€ππ€π†πˆππ† and/or just creating a dog that follows commands. Instead, prioritize a dog that can π“π‡πˆππŠ through difficult situations and make better decisions on their own.

Call it luck, miracle, pure chance, guardian angel etc. but this dog is insanely blessed to be alive πŸ™πŸ½

But every time another story surfaces about a dog being neglected, injured, or even dying while away at training - it becomes painfully clear:

Potential clients need to vet trainers better before handing over their dog.

Instead of promises, buzzwords, and polished sales pitches - how about we start with…

πŸ‘€ π’π‡πŽπ– πŒπ„ πŸ‘€

➑️ Show me dogs with the behavioral issues you claim to handle.

➑️ Show me your training process - not just polished before-and-after clips.

➑️ Show me who will actually train and care for my dog.

➑️ Show me who will be physically present during the day and overnight.

➑️ Show me your safety and emergency procedures.

When you are β€œπ†π”π€π‘π€ππ“π„π„πˆππ†β€ your work with behavioral cases and your page is full of nothing but cute picturesβ€¦πŸš©πŸš©πŸš©

There are plenty of trainers with impressive websites and social media pages. They can use all the right terminology. They can dissect everyone else’s content and explain what other trainers are supposedly doing wrong.

But when it comes to showing their work, the process, and the dogs they’ve actually helped - there’s ππŽπ“π‡πˆππ† to see πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

‼️ I’m tired of watching dog owners waste their hard-earned money, time, and effort - with nothing to show for it ‼️

Before you send your dog away for training, ask these questions.
