Helping dogs and their humans achieve balance in St. Louis, MO! Does your dog exhibit problem behaviors like reactivity, aggression or pulling?

Need someone to walk your dog while you work? Kiefer Kennel Club has you covered. My mission is to help dogs and their humans achieve balance using dog psychology and positive reinforcement training methods. My hands-on rehabilitation and training programs teach you exactly what to do and how to build on what you learn. I’ll teach you how to be mindful of your energy and read your dog’s subtle com

munication signals. I’ve worked with dogs exhibiting various problematic behaviors from separation anxiety to dog reactivity, and I believe any dog can be rehabilitated with patience and the right mindset. Every dog is unique, so our rehab plans are always tailored to suit individual personalities and needs. I’ve experienced firsthand through rescuing and training my own dogs and working with my clients that exercise, structure, and socialization are vital to a happy, balanced dog. My services at Kiefer Kennel Club provide exercise, structure and socialization while teaching you to maintain balance with your dog at home.

Does scent marking make a dog more reactive??

I’m seeing more and more of these dog training videos pop up saying “don’t let your dog mark and kick after” because it’s like “displaying peacock feathers” and “emboldening insecurity.”

i’m sorry but maybe that’s just your ego feeling small when your dog makes choices in their environment 🤷

there is not a single natural context i’ve seen in which scent marking escalates a situation. it’s a regulatory tool and a method of communication at a distance. THAT IS ALL.

blocking this behavior every time you see it can cause unnecessary frustration for both you and your dog. you’re just stopping them from utilizing natural regulation and communication.

take a look at videos of village dogs interacting at a distance then tell me scent marking emboldens insecurity 🙄

💃somatic: of the body, how energy and feelings move through our bodies and how we perceive them
dogs experience energy and feelings and we can co regulate with them through somatic response techniques.🧘
😎this is not something secret and fancy you have to pay a guru hundreds of thousands to access. teachers and learning spaces are valuable, but not necessary to start. we all have access to a somatic practice right now. ✌️
😮‍💨all you have to do is sit with your dog and breathe deeply. add some soft massage or make sounds with your breath if it feels right. start somewhere comfortable before trying it out in arousing situations and just see what you notice. 👀
there, you’re practicing dog somatics. 😊🐕

Politics ARE personal. And quite frankly, it’s not politics when it’s real lives, real families and real killings.

We’ve been quiet on this page for too long - I find it important to state that Kiefer Kennel Club does not support fascist, terrorist regimes and we strive to foster a community of acceptance SAFE from the imperialist agenda.

We got your back. You are welcome here.

Freedom for ALL oppressed people ✊
