What Didn’t Happen To Your Dog By Sean O’Shea So many dog with issues tend to automatically get labeled as abused. Their owners or caretakers often create elaborate stories and possible causes for their fear, insecurity, reluctance, panic, and unique emotional triggering around specific people or things. And of course there are abused dogs out…
You, Your Dog, And Consequences By Sean O’Shea What happens after you get a speeding ticket? What happens after your doctor tell you your cholesterol is dangerously high? What happens when your spouse threatens to leave because of your behavior? What happens when your accountant tells you you’ve spent far more than you earned? Well,…
Healing Mental And Physical Illness Through Training?? By Sean O’Shea Something that I think is hard for a lot of folks to wrap their heads around is that many of the issues their dogs have (both physiologically and psychologically) are simply the symptoms of being stressed and anxious. Dogs who are constantly on edge, worried,…
Blurred Lines By Sean O’Shea So how come things have gotten so much more dicey with our dogs? How come there seems to be far more ill-behaved dogs than the “good old days”?

Building An Athlete By Sean O’Shea One of the biggest messages out there in dog training is the one about a tired dog being a good dog. The premise is, that if you’ll just find a way to tucker your dog out consistently, he’ll be happy, well-behaved, and chill. Your job is to find out…
Permission-Based Training: How And Why It Works By Sean O’Shea One of our primary goals when training and rehabbing dogs is to shift them out of auto-pilot, reactionary, impulsive mode, and get them into a listening, processing, thinking mode.

So glad I found Solid K9 training. His training protocol has worked amazingly for my dogs aged 6 months to 14 years. He provides virtually all his training techniques on YouTube videos and other social media for free. He even does free Q&A webinars twice a week where you can ask specific questions about your dog.
I thought I would have to give my dog back. He’s 20 months old and I have only had him since September. He has been through so much in his life and my family and I are his last chance. Thank you again a thousand times.
