There’s one truth above all others: dogs will never follow instability. And here’s the thing—when we don’t keep our promises to ourselves, we create instability. Every time we say “I’ll do this” and don’t follow through, we weaken our own self-respect. That’s where low confidence, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt come from. Dogs sense that instability. They feel when we don’t fully trust or respect ourselves—and it makes it harder for them to trust and follow us. If you want your dog to see you

Some dogs are natural sheriffs—and they’re worth their weight in gold. Sheriff dogs step in and correct other dogs with a precision and authority we can’t always replicate. What makes them so valuable isn’t just their willingness to correct—it’s their judgment. A good sheriff knows exactly how far to go. They don’t attack. They don’t draw blood. They deliver just enough pressure to make their point. Their “style” can vary: • A growl • A flash of teeth • A light bite • Or even a quick pin to the

If your dog has ever bitten a person or another dog, it’s critical that you don’t allow them to sleep in your bed, lounge on the sofa, or follow you around the house. Dogs don’t view status the way we do. Humans assign importance through things like money, titles, or possessions — dogs assign it through position and proximity. When a dog shares your personal space or rests at your level (especially where your scent is strongest — your bed or sofa), it communicates equality or even superiority in

This sweet girl came to me for a three-week board and train. Before that, her owner couldn’t even walk her on a leash — she pulled so hard she actually pulled her owner to the ground a couple of times. To make matters worse, she wouldn’t come when called. They live on acreage, and not only would she ignore the recall — she’d often run in the opposite direction. Fast forward three weeks, and she now has rock-solid recall. She comes every single time. If you’d like to teach your dog reliable recal

Over the years, I’ve worked with countless clients who are convinced their dog must have been abused before being rescued. When I ask what led them to that conclusion, the answers are often the same: the dog is afraid of men in hats, falling leaves, passing cars, or the sound of the vacuum. Here’s the reality—fearful behavior does not automatically mean abuse. Dogs with poor early socialization and dogs who have experienced abuse can look very similar on the surface. Fear, anxiety, and sensitivi
