Camp K9 Training

Most people think tiring a dog out means letting them run wild at doggy daycare…

But exhaustion isn’t the same as fulfillment.

15 minutes of controlled backward treadmill work does more than hours of chaotic play ever will.

Walking backward builds rear-end awareness, strengthens joints, improves coordination, and actually engages your dog mentally. It’s structured… intentional… and low-impact.

Doggy daycare?
Overstimulation… bad habits… adrenaline spikes… and teaching your dog to ignore pressure.

One builds clarity and control.
The other builds chaos.

If your goal is a calmer, more responsive dog… start working smarter, not just harder.

Round two… was this fair?
Drop your thoughts in the comments!

Sound on if you wanna hear the answer🙃

Do you think this was a fair correction?

Let’s break it down.

Khaos (Malinois) is on her climb doing her job.

Rhea (Dal) is running around bothering her.

Khaos tries to spin away and face the other direction a few times… but the puppy isn’t picking up on those cues yet.

After a few spins, Khaos gets tired of it and snaps.

Enough to scare her… not enough to hurt her.

So yes… 100%.

However…

Khaos is a very well balanced dog, and the only reason I let it go that far is because I knew she would give a fair correction.

Most of the time, older dogs will snap too hard. That’s why I tell clients to be careful letting young puppies interact with older dogs that have little to no training and aren’t balanced enough to give fair corrections.

This is exactly why I use Khaos to help raise puppies… and not Eros.

Hope that helps… now go do some climb training
