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.

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… you ever been out walking your dog, and some random stranger runs up and starts baby-talking them to death? Yeah. We gotta stop this madness. Here’s how to handle it: 1️⃣ Drop the leash. (Trust me, this is important.) 2️⃣ Walk up to the offender. (Yes, offender—because this is a crime.) 3️⃣ Reach back… and let your palm gently remind them to NEVER do that again. ✋😂 Now, I’m not saying you should actually do this… but I am saying, STOP baby-talking strangers’ dogs! It’s weird, it’s annoying, and it’s gotta go. If you want to learn how to train your dog from Zero to Hero...

Thinking about getting a Presa Canario? Here are the top 3 reasons this rare, powerful breed might be the perfect addition to your family: 1️⃣ Rare & Impressive – Stand out with a dog that's built like a tank. 2️⃣ Protective by Nature – Naturally dominant, territorial, and excellent for protection work. 3️⃣ Low Maintenance – Once trained, they’re chill and require surprisingly little upkeep.

Most people should NEVER own a Belgian Malinois. Here’s why… 👀🐕 BTSK9_ breaks it down: 🔹 1️⃣ Unlimited Energy – Skip a workout? They won’t. Instead, they’ll remodel your living room… with their teeth. 😬 🔹 2️⃣ Extreme Drive – These dogs must have a job. No structure? They’ll create their own… and you won’t like it. 🔹 3️⃣ Not Your Average Family Pet – Just because they serve in police & military doesn’t mean they’ll thrive in a suburban home. Only get one if you’re 100% ready for the challenge. Otherwise, you’ll have a land shark on your hands. 🦈 If you want to learn how to train your dog from Zero to Hero...

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

Alright folks—before you book that flight with your dog, do your homework. Want to know if your dog is really ready for air travel? Don’t test it mid-air. Instead: 🔹 Take your dog on a city bus, train, or people mover 🔹 Simulate the noise, movement, and confined space 🔹 See how your dog handles it before stepping on a plane 🛑 If your dog freaks out, it’s better to find out on a bus than 30,000 feet in the air. ✅ Real-world prep = smooth travel Check out the Full Video on the YouTube Channel! - LINK IN PROFILE If you want to learn how to train your dog from Zero to Hero...

Alright folks—if you're traveling with your dog, make sure you’ve got the right training and the right gear before you ever set foot in an airport. Here’s what actually matters: 🔹 Commands: – Sit-stay, down-stay, and a solid heel. – You’ll need control when handling luggage, walking through crowds, and dealing with distractions. 🔹 Gear: – E-collar (if trained on it) – Slip lead or leash + collar (TSA-friendly) – Prong collar (remove before security) – Service vest? Optional. And don’t forget your DOT form—approved by your airline and ready to go. ▶️ Check out the full episode on our YouTube channel for the complete airport travel breakdown with Thanos. - LINK IN PROFILE If you want to learn how to train your dog from Zero to Hero...

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—this is your reminder: let your dog pee on real grass before heading into the airport. Yeah, airports have “pet relief areas,” but let’s be honest... ✖️ They’re gross ✖️ They smell ✖️ Half the time, it’s fake turf covered in other dogs’ mess Unless your dog’s trained for it, they’re probably not going to go. That means they’re holding it ‘til the flight—or worse, letting it go on the flight. ✅ Take the time, find real grass, and give them a chance to go. Better out here than in the air. #dogtravel #canecorso #travelwithdog #DogTraining #puppytraining #puppyfun #dogoftheday #puppytrainer #dogobediencetraining #balanceddogtraining #dogsaregreat #recall #puppytrain #k9trainer #dogobedience #dogbehavior #dogtrainingtips

Yep, dogs can go to Disney — but only under the right conditions. This isn’t about sneaking your pup past security. It’s about doing it the right way! Here’s what it takes: 1. Your dog must be a legit service animal. Emotional support doesn't qualify. 2. Elite-level obedience is non-negotiable. No barking, lunging, or leash-pulling. 3. They need to be rock-solid in chaotic environments. Think fireworks, parades, screaming kids. 4. Follow Disney’s service animal policies to the letter.

Walk a dog through an airport and you’ll meet exactly three types of people: 1️⃣ The friendly ones who ask, “Can I pet him?” 2️⃣ The ones who pet without asking (and get mad when you say no) 3️⃣ The dog-haters—dirty looks, muttered comments, the whole thing None of it bothers Thanos, but it’s wild how predictable people are. #travelwithdog #dogtravel #canecorso#DogTraining #puppytraining #puppyfun #dogoftheday #puppytrainer #dogobediencetraining #balanceddogtraining #dogsaregreat #recall #puppytrain #k9trainer #dogobedience #dogbehavior #dogtrainingtips

Don’t Do This! Justin Rigney @k9servicesunlimited, Erik Good, and Ronnie Manganiello break down the TOP 3 biggest mistakes they see dog handlers make all the time—and why they make K9 trainers CRINGE! 🤦‍♂️ 1️⃣ Baby-talking your dog – “Good boy, good boy!” Stop that nonsense. 2️⃣ Zero control – If your dog is barking at everything and ignoring commands, you’re not in charge. 3️⃣ Weak rewards – Your dog CRUSHES a search, and you just throw the tug on the ground? Do better. With 75+ years of police K9 training experience, these trainers are here to help you train like a pro and stop embarrassing yourself.

Top 3 things professional dog trainers HATE to see owners do. 🤦‍♂️ If you’re guilty of any of these, it’s time to fix them now. Justin Rigney @k9servicesunlimited, Erik Good, Ronnie Manganiello break it down for us: 1️⃣ Repeating commands like a broken record – “Heel… heel… heel…” No correction? No compliance. Your dog hears you. They’re just ignoring you. 2️⃣ Letting your dog run the show – Pulling, jumping, barking at everything? That’s not “cute.” It’s a disaster waiting to happen. 3️⃣ Praising bad behavior – Your dog barks and charges another dog, and you say, “Good boy!”? Congrats, you just reinforced the worst habit possible. 🤦‍♂️ 🔥 BONUS TIP: If your dog doesn’t come when called, you have ZERO control. No recall = lost dog, dog fight, or worse. Master it.
