BAMF Dog Training/Confidence Building

10/22/2026

Every interaction with your dog when you come home or enter a room should be done with a calm silence. Jango is trained to pick something up when I get home. Only then, does he receive calm affection.

Talking to your dog like a person. Letting them pull you wherever they want. Buying a harness and calling it a fix.

Every one of those comes from love.

And every one of them can build an insecure mess of a dog who never had to be that way.

None of this makes you a bad owner. It makes you an owner who was never taught the difference between loving your dog and leading your dog.

Here's what changes when you take that job back.

Your dog stops scanning. Stops deciding. Stops pulling.

They exhale, because somebody finally has it handled and it isn't them anymore.

That's what people mean when they say a trained dog looks happier. It isn't obedience. It's relief.

And you don't get many years with this dog. Every month you spend fighting the leash is a month you don't spend anywhere near the life you pictured when you brought them home.

Let me put the money in perspective while you think about that.

💸 A single private session: $100 to $300 for one hour and one skill

💸 A bag of high-value treats: $30, gone in a week

💸 A board and train: $2,000 to $5,000, and most fall apart at home

So if you are struggling with a pup of any age feel free to reach out for help.

My boy Banjo. 14 month old intact English Bulldog. He is back for a tune up after not seeing him for 5 months.

We worked on his impulse control, his leave command, place, and crate. He did really good. So he has a good baseline. We just need to fine tune the owners approach😉.

Back to basics. Hand feed and train. Puzzle feed. Find it feed. Build some engagement. Lots of play on, play off.

It was too hot to work on his leash manners. We will address that next time.

Welcome back you slobbery tank🖤

On this addition of zero dog training pics/vids:

2nd session with Bruce the Rottie.

Bruce was a rock star! No reactions, no explosions. He was conflicted at times. “Do I react, no wait, I’ll be corrected”. So instead of reacting, he went into displacement mode, and avoidance. I don’t want that long term, but after 2 sessions he has made huge strides. His owner was more relaxed and he ate up all that calm energy.

For a Rottie Bruce is a big softy. He just needs some direction to navigate through his enviornment.

Way to go Bruce!
