If your dog can’t hold a down-stay in public, they’re not done being trained! We’re at Disney Springs—crowds moving, people reaching, noise everywhere. Thanos holds his down until I give the recall, then hits a clean heel, and we move on. No leash. No nonsense. Just real obedience. If you want to learn how to train your dog from Zero to Hero...

We had first-class seats. All paperwork filled out. Thanos is calm, trained, and a legit service animal. But the pilot still questioned if we could board, just because of the way he looks and his size. Not because of behavior. Not because we broke any rules. Just the way he looks. They ended up letting us on, but not before wasting time and calling in a manager. ▶️ Here’s what happened: The pilot questioned us just based on looks DOT paperwork? ✅ First-class seating? ✅ Dog calm and trained? ✅ Still almost denied! This is why I always tell people to think twice before getting a Cane Corso. You’re not just training a dog — you’re battling stereotypes every time you leave the house. #DogTraining #puppytraining #puppytrainer #dogobediencetraining #balanceddogtraining #dogsaregreat #recall #puppytrain #k9trainer #dogobedience #dogbehavior #travelingwithpets #travelingwithdogs #airportdrama

Alright, folks—Airport security asked if they could pet Thanos. I said, “Sure, just pet him right there…” Then I barked. He damn near jumped out of his skin. 😂 Classic K9 handler move.

Here’s the deal: if your dog can’t hold a down-stay in a high-distraction environment, they’re not ready for real-world obedience. We’re in the middle of Disney Springs—crowds moving, people getting close, noise everywhere. Thanos holds his down-stay like it’s nothing. No leash. No second chances. One command, and he’s locked in. This is what it looks like when a dog knows their job, and trusts their training. If you want to learn how to train your dog from Zero to Hero...

Yep, you can get your dog through TSA — but only if you do it the right way. This isn’t about sneaking past with gear that sets off alarms. It’s about showing up with a well-trained dog and a game plan. Here’s how to do it: 1. Start with a solid sit. Control matters before you even take a step. 2. Remove anything metal. E-collars, prongs, heavy buckles — all of it comes off. 3. Ask yourself: Can your dog go off-leash? If not, you need a low-metal leash option. 4. Stay calm and clear. Your dog feeds off your energy. If you're nervous, they will be too. This kind of obedience isn’t optional — it’s essential. TSA is chaotic, loud, full of distractions… and your dog should walk through like it’s just another rep.

Alright folks—it’s 76 degrees out at Epcot, but Thanos is wearing a full-blown winter coat… every single day of his life. Dogs don’t sweat. So if you're walking around with them in the heat, you better know how to cool them off. 💧 Here’s what we do: 1️⃣ Get to shade 2️⃣ Down stay – keep ‘em still 3️⃣ Apply water to armpits, groin, and even their head 4️⃣ Repeat every 30–60 min This is the same strategy we used for 20+ years in South Florida hunting bad guys with police K9s!

Alright folks—heat stroke in dogs can hit fast, especially in hot places like Disney or anywhere your dog’s working hard in the sun. You already saw how we prevent it… now, here’s how to recognize it before it’s too late. 🔥 Top 3 Signs of Heat Stroke in Dogs: 1️⃣ Panting – Totally normal at first, but it’s your early warning 2️⃣ Shovel Tongue – When the tongue looks fat, wide, and heart-shaped—it’s time to cool them down 3️⃣ Tongue Off to the Side – That tongue is so heavy it’s kicking out the side of the mouth? You’re in danger zone. Get shade. Get water. Act fast. If you miss stage three, your dog’s organs could start shutting down. Don’t let it get that far.

Alright, folks- If you're going to fly with your dog, here are a few quick tips to help keep them happy. ▶️ Bring a bully stick — it keeps your dog busy and calm. ▶️ Use a safety grip or holder — prevents choking or inhaling the treat. ▶️ Chewing helps with ear pressure, just like gum for people. Bonus tip: Get the odorless bully sticks. The regular ones stink like hell and will make everyone hate you. #travelwithdog #canecorso #dogtrainer #DogTraining #puppytrainer #dogobediencetraining #balanceddogtraining #dogsaregreat #recall #puppytrain #k9trainer #dogobedience #dogbehavior #dogtrainingtips

Alright folks—dog parks sound like a good idea, until you realize they’re ruining your dog. Here’s 3 reasons you need to avoid dog parks: 1️⃣ Disease Central – Poop, pee, and bacteria everywhere. No one’s cleaning it. 2️⃣ Fights Are Inevitable – It’s not if, it’s when and how bad. 3️⃣ You Lose Value – If every dog is more exciting than you, your dog won’t listen. You want a social, stable, well-mannered dog? This ain’t how you get there.

Alright folks—before you run out and get yourself a Presa, let’s talk about why that might be a bad idea for most people. Top 3 reasons you might NOT want one: 1️⃣ Too much dog – 150+ lbs of raw power, torque, and muscle 2️⃣ Dominance issues – If you're not more confident than your dog, you lose 3️⃣ Territorial aggression – They might protect the house… from Aunt Betty and the mailman 😬 Look, Presa's are awesome if you know what you’re doing. But if you don’t—this dog will run your house. #presacaniro #dogtrainer
