The Reality of ‘Quick Fixes’ in Dog Training

A lot of people think that off-leash— Jesus Christ, hang on a minute. He hasn't uploaded this on his own Instagram, has he? Wait, that dog looks dead. That dog looks lifeless. For me, okay, if you've achieved, uh, a desirable behavior, something that TikTok and Instagram has made out to be really desirable. Good for you. But if your dog is looking like this, in my eyes, you failed. Like, if you have taken the soul out of that dog, if you have de-dogged that dog, that means you failed. It doesn't count. That dog's head is so low. He's got no spring in his step. I'm gonna play that again. His ears are back. There's nothing. I mean, huskies are so fun. Huskies are energetic. You know what huskies are bred for? What is that? For me, guys, stop looking at these behaviors like it's gold, okay? The behaviors are just behaviors. Who cares if the dog can do this? If they need to do this, if you can't live without it, teach it. But just make sure when you get there, you still got your bloody dog.
