Smaller does not always mean easier. In fact, most of the time it's harder.

My clippers weigh 1lb, the smallest dog I have groomed was 2.4lbs.

We always recommend ending training with either relaxation or play. Depending on the dog, what they need practice doing, and what they like to do. 😊

🚨 HOT TAKE: Your dog’s medicated shampoo shouldn’t automatically be a lifetime prescription.

As a Certified K9 Esthetician, I see a lot of dogs whose skin has been treated over and over without enough attention to what the skin actually needs.

Yeast isn’t bacteria. Allergies aren’t infections. Irritation isn’t always infection. And different skin problems can require very different products.

Even a medically appropriate shampoo can cause problems if it’s used incorrectly. Too often. Not often enough. Left on too long. Rinsed off too quickly. Or used indefinitely when the original problem has been resolved.

And yes, steroids, allergy medications, allergies, inflammation, and repeated skin treatments can all affect the skin and its ability to maintain a healthy barrier.

If your veterinarian prescribes a medicated shampoo, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.

🛁 Correct bathing frequency.
⏱️ Correct contact time.
💧 Appropriate moisturizing support afterward.

But here's the part I really want dog owners to remember:

The goal isn't necessarily to keep your dog on medicated shampoo forever.

The goal is to address the problem, restore the skin barrier, and when medically appropriate, get the dog OFF the medicated products so the skin can get back to doing what healthy skin is supposed to do: maintaining itself.

“Medicated” doesn't automatically mean better.
And more treatment doesn't automatically mean healthier skin.

Sometimes the goal is to treat the problem.

Then the goal is to stop treating the problem and start supporting healthy skin. 🐾💜

🐕 YOUR DOG MAY NOT BE REACTING TO JUST ONE THING.

They're reacting to the equation.

Imagine:

Baseline = 20

😴 Poor sleep +10
🔨 Construction noise +10
🐕 Another dog +20
👤 Stranger +15
🦮 Frustration on leash +15

20 + 10 + 10 + 20 + 15 + 15 = 90

Yesterday, your dog handled that dog perfectly.

Today?

💥 Explosion. 💥

"Why?! They were fine yesterday!"

Because yesterday's equation was different.

This is called trigger stacking, multiple stressors accumulating until the dog's ability to cope is exceeded.

So before asking:

"Why is my dog behaving like this?"

Try asking:

"What numbers have been added to the equation today?"

🐾 Sometimes the solution isn't more training.

Sometimes the solution is subtracting.

👇 What tends to stack up for your dog?

Post 1 of 4. STAY TUNED FOR THE OTHERS!

🐕 DOG TRAINING MATH. 🐕

Yep. You read that right.

What does math have to do with dog training?

Everything.

Think of your dog's emotional state like an equation:

BASELINE + STRESSORS − REGULATORS = AROUSAL

The numbers aren't literal. They're a way to visualize what's happening.

For example:

30 + 20 + 15 − 10 = 55

➕ Another dog
➕ A stranger
➖ Distance + reinforcement

If your dog's threshold is 70, they're still able to think and learn.

Change the equation:

30 + 30 + 20 = 80

💥 Now they're over threshold. 💥

And here's the important part:

Sometimes you don't need to change the trigger. You need to change the equation.

More distance.

Less pressure.

Better reinforcement.

More recovery.

Different environment.

Different associations.

🐾 Training isn't always about adding more obedience. Sometimes it's about subtracting what the dog can't handle.

👇 What do you think is adding the biggest number to YOUR dog's equation?

Tell me below.

Bringing your dogs often isn't just about coat length.

Did you know alot of issues can be corrected with regular, and frequent, grooming? Even more so if your coming SOONER than one month between grooms.

For example, ye**ty, oily, overly dry dogs benefit from almost weekly bathing with the CORRECT products.

The only time bathing your dog is detrimental is if your using bad products, not following up with a moisturizer, not completely drying the coat, or not brushing the coat out afterwards.

Dogs are also much more likely to be less stressed when they actually feel "they have been there, done that" and it was dandy. Dogs who don't come in often don't see any stress reducing benefits.
