Prey drive comes in different forms…some dogs hunt for little crabs and fish. Fast moving small creatures light up the part of the brain wired to hunt. It releases dopamine and adrenaline.

Exposure training at airports

Bellows & Ibis are so sweet together. They’ll be moving into a new long term foster in a week along with their shy sister Edith. The 3 cats will be separated for a while to adjust but will be slowly acclimating to a large sweet dog in the home. We will continue looking for a forever home without other cats or small children (dogs tbd 🙏) 🥹💙 If you are interested in meeting these guys, DM me for details. We’d be willing to place out of state but prefer to keep local to LA if we can

Any input is appreciated. Any tidbit of better understanding of these concepts can make us better teachers, which can influence people into being better dog stewards, which is a win for all of dog culture. What seems simple to dog trainers is not so to our clients. Anything that moves the needle towards seeing these creatures for what they truly are is a meaningful endeavor.

The last two years have felt like stolen time for me and my boy, Willie T Nelson Hadley; I knew I was getting away with something big to have him as long as I did, specifically as healthy and happy as he has been after what were some nasty brawls with death’s door. And now I’m doing the time for it.

Willie was my “second dog”, my dog I pre-emptively adopted to cushion the heartbreak when previous Good Boy Xander passed. I swore I could never love him as much as I had loved Xander, and Willie made it his life’s work to prove me right — I could only love him differently and just as enormously.

Willie was the dog that made people smile when he walked by them as he traveled the country with me. He comforted a man on the way to say goodbye to his mother at the airport, treated my nieces like a canine cousin, he made my mom understand what it meant to have a fur grandchild. He was the envy of dog-owning friends, “I just want a dog like Willie”, they’d say. Me too.

Willie was malleable, the only constant he needed was me and any foodish stuff he could scavenge. He survived a bag of granola with raisins, countless easter chocolates, the deed to my house, a few 20s, a large check from the Sundance Institute, a roll of dog poop bags that needed to be picked up by another roll of dog poop bags. He once ate 16 times the human dose of CBD gummies and had a really great afternoon. Last year, when @geraldplayspickle and I went to Columbus for the holidays with Willie, he was acting very slow and old for the whole week we were there before he released basically a half of a fleece blanket from Los Angeles onto the floor that had been hanging out in his tummy. Maybe he didn’t know how to pack a security blanket properly which makes little sense since he was always traveling packed as mine.

Willie was popular enough to warrant a full birthday celebration this year because he made friends everywhere — every office, trip with friends, grocery store (except the Los Feliz Costco). I am eternally grateful for everyone who recognized his magic over his 15.5 years with me. I was never going to be able to steal enough time, but it doesn’t mean Willie and I didn’t try real hard.

The Caligirl

When I came a cross the #foucheway community some years ago on IG, except for Brandon, I found him on YouTube, for the first time Teresa was the first one that I started to follow. The way she described the dogs behaviors on camera blew my mind. Her spirit came a cross in such a subtle but powerful way. I decided to contact her for some private sessions and since then we have stayed in contact. What you don't see much of is her style.
I lived in LA for a year back in -93 and the beach culture and style of the surfers, skaters, beach bums, Chicanos and hippies still is LA for me, not the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown. And when Teresa posted this picture of her it warmed my heart and I closed my eyes and went over there for a brief second. 🙏

Well, this is not a suck up, it's just a way for me to say thank you for everything you do for the community, for the dogs and for me!
It's also a hook up for you guys that haven't found her yet. Her knowledge is endless. Knowing that she always is in pursuit of understanding more. Very much like Brandon. It's comforting.
So take the time to check her out! @teresaapollo

Stay blessed people

I was laughing so hard at one of @teresaapollo posts today were she was demonstrating the "white knuckled" lead handling, getting ready to take on the world wrapping of the lead.

It's so funny because it seems to be a default technique all around the world. Maybe universal .. 😆

The opposite could be called "the finger walk" I guess.
Slow, relaxed and full of trust. It took me a minute to realize that it had to start with me. My trust in my self. I had to practice patience, focus and vision. It all came to fruition when I stopped focusing on control and obedience. Stopped being a controlling, micromanaging asshole.
To be honest, I was scared and that fear held me/us back.

I guess that's all..

Enjoy the spring and enjoy each other to the fullest!

And follow Teresas account if you're not doing that already. It's an fantastic stream of knowledge!
