Coronavirus: Our Response – Be Safe and Stay Flexible
Michael's Dogs - Training & Behaviour
by Michael Baugh
4y ago
Michael Baugh CDBC CPDT-KSA Anyone who’s worked with me knows I preach this all the time: It only takes a small shift in the environment to  change behavior (sometimes in a big way).  And there aren’t many things smaller than an itty bitty microscopic virus. Michael’s Dogs Houston dog trainers Victoria Thibodeaux and I are staying flexible and shifting our behavior in response to the change in our environment (I’ll say the name – The Coronavirus that causes Covid-19). Here’s where things stand right now. We are still doing in-home dog behavior consultations and training lessons. There is no ch ..read more

Our Dogs and the Northwest Houston Explosion
Michael's Dogs - Training & Behaviour
by Michael Baugh

Michael Baugh CDBC CPDT-KSA and Amanda Rietheimer CDBC CPDT-KA At about 4:20 a.m. on Friday January 24th the Watson Grinding and Manufacturing Plant on North Gessner Road in Houston exploded. Two people were killed. The blast leveled the plant as well as neighboring businesses. Windows and doors were blown out of neighboring houses. Our house is less than mile away. It shook so hard pictures flew off the walls along with the nails they were hanging from. We weren’t home. I woke up nearly 4-thousand miles away to a series of texts. “Are you okay?” “Are the dogs at your house?” “How are the dogs ..read more

Why I Ask Clients to Journal with Me
Michael's Dogs - Training & Behaviour
by Michael Baugh
4y ago
Michael Baugh CDBC CPDT-KSA I ask clients to share an online journal with me between our in-person appointments. We use Google Drive because it’s easily accessible technology. I also encourage clients to email if that is more convenient and to send videos of their progress when they can. In a perfect world, I would hear from my clients every day. Every-other-day is okay, but longer than that can be too long. Why? This is detail oriented work. Most of my clients are working on long-term plans to change unwanted behavior. That’s a euphemism. Their dogs lunge, growl, bark and bite. Some are dang ..read more

Toxic Training (When “Helping” Hurts)
Michael's Dogs - Training & Behaviour
by Michael Baugh
5y ago
Michael Baugh CDBC CPDT-KSA CTP Training your dog doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact it can be fun and satisfying, and I hope it is. The best dog owner / trainers seek out support from other dog enthusiasts, maybe even a professional dog trainer. We humans are great for helping each other out. And, sometimes we are terrible at it, no matter our best intentions. We can trip each other up and derail the learning process. If you’re part of a training team, with a spouse or other family member for example,  remember to be patient, supportive, and encouraging. Avoid these three toxic training tr ..read more

My Last Dog Syndrome
Michael's Dogs - Training & Behaviour
by Michael Baugh

Michael Baugh CDBC CPDT-KSA I’ve known about “My Last Dog Syndrome” (MLD) for many years. I didn’t know the name, though, until recently. Lisa Mullinax CDBC coined the name on her Facebook page, 4 Paws University. MLD is a funny name and it’s kind of  serious, too. It’s not actually something a dog gets. MLD is something we humans suffer from. It is the idea that our last dog – the one who we still think about and pine for – was somehow better, less flawed, more perfect than the dog we live with now. Lisa writes on her Facebook post that people often complain that: “My last dog was never this ..read more

Kindness: A Plea to My Fellow Trainers
Michael's Dogs - Training & Behaviour
by Michael Baugh

Michael Baugh CDBC CPDT-KSA When I was in high school we were assigned a book that has stuck with me all these years after. It was titled Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? (John Powell 1975). One of the things I liked most was the universality of the title. It wasn’t, Are you afraid or I am afraid. It assumed a truth. We are afraid, all of us, sometimes terrified. I haven’t re-read the book in years but I remember the answer to the title question. If I tell you who I am, if I’m really open and genuine, if I put myself out there, then I’m vulnerable. You see me, all of me. If you reject me ..read more
