If your dog is guarding toys and you call it ‘cute,’ you’re not a dog lover, you’re an accident waiting to happen💥 Resource guarding is one of the leading causes of dog bites, and it doesn’t go away on its own. Training saves dogs. Excuses ruin them.

Pups + Paddles 2025 Recap 🐾

This year’s Pups + Paddles class was a splash! 💦 Our dog parents and their pups learned everything from paddleboard safety, commands, and loading techniques to building confidence out on the water. We wrapped up the session with a guided paddle trip🐕‍🦺🏄‍♀️

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us for this unique experience! ❤️ If you missed it, don’t worry we’ll be back next year even bigger and better.

👉 Follow our page for updates on next year’s Pups + Paddles!
We’re currently working on partnerships with Wondercide and BOTE Boards to bring even more value, fun, and perks to your experience 🌟

⚡ Let’s talk e-collars. Before we ever put one on a dog, we put it on the owner. Why? Because if you don’t even know what it feels like, you have no business strapping it to your dog.

Here’s the truth: too many “trainers” slap an e-collar on a dog, crank it up, and call it training. That’s not training—that’s lazy, and it’s abuse.

Working level ≠ corrective level. If you don’t understand the difference, you’re setting your dog up for confusion, fear, and failure.

E-collars are one of the most misunderstood tools out there, not because they’re bad—but because too many people use them wrong. And sorry, but if you can’t respect the process, maybe you shouldn’t be using the tool at all.

👀 Hot take: It’s not the collar that’s the problem. It’s the humans.

👉 So here’s the question: do you think e-collars should only be in the hands of professionals, or should every dog owner learn how to use them responsibly?

Hot take 🔥

We’ve been getting a flood of calls lately for service dog training… and more often than not, it’s the same story:

❌ “I want my dog to be a service dog so I can travel with them.”
❌ “Can you certify them so I can take them everywhere?”

…And when I ask what task they’d like trained to mitigate their disability … they have no idea what I’m even talking about.

Here’s the reality check:
👉 Service dogs are NOT pets in disguise. They are trained to perform specific tasks to mitigate a person’s disability.
👉 Wanting to fly with your dog or stay in a hotel with them does not qualify.
👉 Faking a service dog is ILLEGAL. Not only does it create huge safety concerns, but it also discredits the people who actually rely on their dogs for daily independence and survival.

These dogs aren’t emotional accessories or travel buddies—they are highly trained, working animals that give people their quality of life back. Pretending your pet is one? That’s not only disrespectful, it’s dangerous.

So yeah… I’d hate me too if I told you I won’t fake a service dog for you. But I’ll say it louder every time, because protecting the integrity of real service dogs (and their handlers) matters more than your vacation plans. 🐾🔥 2025-09-10 00:54:44 .. 181 +79% 34 +222%

“We love their happiness… but are we ignoring their safety?” 💔

Few things light up a dog’s face more than hanging their head out the window—ears flapping, tongue out, soaking up every smell rushing by. It’s a classic ‘dog joy’ moment… but here’s the part no one likes to talk about: it’s also one of the riskiest things we can let them do.

Flying debris can cause serious eye injuries. A sudden stop or accident could throw them out of the vehicle. Even a quick swerve could turn that happy moment into tragedy. 🚨

As fun as it looks, the safest way for your dog to travel isn’t with their head out the window—it’s inside a properly fitted crash-tested kennel or secured with safety equipment. A car kennel not only protects them in an accident, but also prevents distractions that put both you and your pup at risk.

We all want to give our dogs joy—but real love means protecting them, even when it means saying no to the “cute” moments. 🐾

👉 Would you let your dog hang their head out the window, or do you think safety should always come first?

We love working alongside local dog-focused businesses that share the same heart for pups in need. Huge thanks to Onyva Spa for getting one of our recent surrenders in for a fresh groom. She walked out looking brand new and ready to start her next chapter with confidence.

It takes a community to lift these dogs up, and we’re proud to have amazing companies like Onyva Spa right here in Tampa helping make that possible.

Happy Birthday to our incredible Community Resource Expert & Media Specialist, Makenzie! 🎉

While she may not be out training dogs, Makenzie’s passion for this business and helping dogs (and their people) goes far beyond training. For the past year and a half, she has been a true staple of our team, taking on everything from phone calls and scheduling consultations to running social media, organizing pack walks, coordinating paddle boarding classes, and leading foster classes with shelters and rescues.

Pictured are her two pups, Finley and Fletcher, who are just as much a part of our family as she is. 🐾

Makenzie has made such a positive impact on the Tampa Bay dog community, and we’re beyond grateful for her expertise, dedication, and commitment to everything we do 💙

Help us wish her the happiest of birthdays today!

This isn’t luck. It’s work.

Every dog in this video started with a different struggle—reactivity, lack of focus, zero impulse control.

Now? They hold a command together, in harmony, around distractions.

That’s the power of clear communication, consistency, and the right training plan.

Is your dog walking you instead of the other way around? 😅

Loose leash walking sounds easy… until you’re getting dragged across the neighborhood.

If your walks feel more like a battle than bonding time, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself!

📩 Send us a message at Total Dog, our trainers are here to help you turn the chaos into calm, one step at a time.

Let’s make walks fun again. 🐾✨

Just because life changed… doesn’t mean your dog’s life should stop.
Yes, it’s easier to just let them out in the backyard. But easy doesn’t build fulfillment, structure, or a solid bond.

We prepped for this—practiced stroller walks before baby came. And now? It’s part of our new normal.

You can walk your dog with a newborn. It takes a little planning, but it’s absolutely doable—and so worth it.

Whether you’re a trainer, a dog owner, or a brand new mom juggling both:
Your dog still needs movement, structure, and YOU.
Don’t let their world shrink when yours expands.

Enter: the neutral dog. Calm. Collected. Unshakable.

“Do you train guardian breeds like Cane Corsos?”
We get this question all the time — and the answer is YES.

Guardian breeds come with power, presence, and purpose. That’s why we heavily prioritize genetic fulfillment in every program we offer. These dogs weren’t bred to be couch ornaments — they need structure, leadership, and outlets for their instincts.

Whether it’s obedience, behavior modification, or appropriate outlets— we’ve got you covered. 💪🐾

Reactivity isn’t a life sentence—it’s a challenge you and your dog can overcome with patience, consistency, and the right mindset.

There will be hard days. Moments where it feels easier to avoid the world instead of working through the tough stuff. But every small win—every calm check-in, every successful pass, every moment your dog chooses YOU over the chaos—adds up.

So, when it feels overwhelming, take a breath and trust the process. Let it all work out. Because on the other side of the struggle is a stronger bond and a more confident team.

You’ve got this—and so does your dog. 💪 2025-07-21 23:32:54 Reactivi.. 248 +146% 6 -43%
