Phoebe gets to have huge amounts of time off lead/leash. As you can see she is roaming freely and is allowed to explore her curiosity. Even though she is off lead, being a Dutch Shepherd she will never wander far from her primary, me. Most programs train high levels of obedience and/or heavy lead usage. We do the opposite and find the K9’s have more drive, can be multi disciplined and perform work while making the decisions themselves. The major downside to this type of training, you have to be hyper vigilant to your surroundings and have a high tolerance for chaos the first few years of training. What would be considered obedience by Phoebe, is actually the continuous time spent together for years, she has no obedience training. She has a 100% tracking record to date.

For some there is nothing sane or peaceful about their mental health resiliency journey. Sitting down to therapy, talking about your feelings, soft talking, being mindful… that does not work for everyone! Sometimes it is rock and roll and screaming in your head. ALL of the peaceful methods failed me, it took violent accountability, a war on my ego, and daily battles with my developed public personality. Mental health resiliency is a personal journey… if you want to let the crazy out, blare heavy metal music, do martial arts, intentionally do hard things and kick your demons in the balls… AMEN brother start your journey, start by speaking kindly and respectfully to yourself, then start swinging.

I wish it was so easy to blame the K9. Instagram and bored house wives have given misconceptions on how K9’s really are. Do they have high energy, yes. Do they have high drive for work, yes. Do they get sidetracked, yes. Do they chew/bite and destroy, yes. However what is not seen is the time it takes to learn your K9’s personality, their manners, learning what sets them up and what sets them off… The more time you put into the emotional bond and the less you put into obedience will create a happier more successful K9. Phoebe has 19 saves and has never had a day of obedience training. She works from our emotional bond as partners. If the emotional bond is not part of your training, you might not be giving your K9 the best opportunity for success. It’s 99% what you are doing behind closed doors that creates the 1% you get to show in social media.
