Clarity Over Commands
Your dog doesn't need more commands. They need clarity. At Mo Bad K9s, I focus on a regulated nervous system and the dog's wellbeing rather than constant instruction. Training tools should be supplementary, not a crutch. Learn how to connect with your dog the right way!
Learn To Advocate for Your Dog
Teaching a healthy level of tolerance and ceasing to make excuses for poor behavior is ESSENTIAL for rehabilitation. This includes our own self development. Dog's do not follow leaders with the same issues as them. Learn handling and canine communication, as well as controlling your impulses.
Focus on the Solution
Your dog believes the narrative you subscribe to. They will never move on unless you let them. "Reactive" doesn't have to be a dog's identity. That one off leash dog attack doesn't need to be the reason you tense up and instigate defense drive in your pup. There is a clear horizon beyond dropping the story and letting them outgrow it.
