Hey there my fellow dog lover!

If there is one thing I can say about my life with dogs is that I have learned so much from living with and working with large groups of dogs.

I have had the opportunity to see:

Familial Packs

Temporary Packs

Working Packs

And of course, living with my House Pack

And I can say that they are wildly different.

So that is why when I hear tragic stories of dogs getting hurt (or worse) from intentional dog lovers when they are fostering dogs or pet-sitting dogs in their homes, I knew I wanted to share some of my insight and the things I have learned over the years.

So buckle up, this one got away from me, but there are some good takeaways in this episode.

Hey there dog lover!

I am so glad you are here and this is a "controversial" dog training topic.

But I know this one thing can change your dog training journey for the better so it must be said.

Today on the podcast I am talking about the power of no and how if you have been told you MUST use positive only or purely positive training, you my friend have been "marketed "to. (And there really is on such thing😉)

So it's not about not using the word no, but rather HOW you use the word no and I am sharing exactly how to do it so that you can finally get some results.

Don't stay stuck in your training. Give your dog the feedback to help them understand and feel safe in Humansville.

You can say no!

Hey there fellow dog lover!

So I was in Pet Valu the other week when an already nervous/anxious dog working on "socialization" reacted (negatively) to a little puppy who came into the store.

The chaos and barking caught my attention and before I could get around the isle to see what was going on, both owners (and the staff at Pet Valu) were all saying "It's okay, you're okay!"

The puppy owner was petting her pup and saying it.

The anxious dog owner was saying it.

The employee at the cash register was saying it.

And as I watched, I thought... Nothing about this is okay.

This incident inspired this week's episode on the podcast. :-)

Learn why I do not like the phrase "It's Okay!"

and what you should say instead.

Also, in this episode,

I discuss when I would turn my back on a threat, and when I wouldn't.

There is lots of great tactical stuff in this episode~

​

Let me know what you think!

​

Talk to you next week!

Cheers
