In 95% of my cases, I am recommending a leash that is longer than the standard 4 to 6ft sold in most stores. My life with Potato has taught how important two extra feet of leash can be. Agency is just as important for your life as it is for your dog's.

Treat yourself and your dog this summer! Order a new leash from @hightailhikes and use code manneredmisfit for 10% off your order.

When I broke my knee ago, I was in physical therapy for 6 months. My PT discovered what my job was and got creative with my exercises. I felt safe handling dogs again, but not on a regular 6 ft leash.

Dog walking injuries are common, and behavior is not guaranteed. Handling dogs on a 6ft leash is not sustainable for me. It causes more stress in my knees and an increased likelihood for injury if the dog lunges. The dogs in this video range from 25 to 105 lbs. Long leashes saved my job and they keep me safe. If you’re worried about safety with a long line, make sure the environment is appropriate for the length of leash you’re using.

If you’re thinking about getting a longer leash, support @hightailhikes and use code manneredmisfit for 10% off your order!

Most people think dog training is about control.

Obedience.
Discipline.
Making sure the dog “respects” you.

But what if we’ve been approaching it the wrong way the entire time?

Because behind every behavior…
there’s usually a reason.

The barking.
The fear.
The reactivity.
The stubbornness people complain about.

Sometimes it’s not defiance.
Sometimes it’s communication.

And instead of asking,
“How do I stop this behavior?”

Maybe the better question is:
“What is this dog trying to tell me?”

Dogs aren’t machines programmed to obey.
They’re individuals.
Living beings with emotions, instincts, fears, personalities, and autonomy.

And if we’re asking for their companionship every single day…
the least we can do is try to understand them.

This mindset goes beyond dog training.
It challenges the idea that control should always come before compassion.

Because the systems built around dominance and obedience whether with people or animals often ignore individuality in the process.

Inside this video:
• Why curiosity creates a stronger bond than control
• The problem with dominance-based dog training
• How behavior can actually be communication
• Why understanding dogs changes the relationship completely
• What compassion-centered training can teach us about connection

Sometimes understanding matters more than obedience.
And the strongest relationships are built through trust,
not fear.

Once upon a time, I was working with a client and her neighbor to introduce their two dogs. My client and I also had a personal friendship. She was just trying to take cute photos of me working with her pup, Mick. My emotions are always on my face sometimes. Ironically, this was during her neighbor literally doing the same thing that is depicted in the first meme.

Anyway, I’ve sat on this photo for awhile. Now I know its true potential and hopefully it makes you laugh. Please enjoy.

I had grown experience from handling long lines when I worked at the humane society. I’ve only advanced that skill in my business.

However, my days get busy. Every so often, the front seat of my car looks like this. Oh and I have ADHD. 😇

My best tip on practice your long line handling? Practice without your dog attached. Get comfortable and take your time. You got this.

Plus, get yourself some long line keepers from High Tail Hikes. They’re more handy than you think. 😇
