Moment of Silence

February 17, 2022

Contrary to popular belief, a meditation practice doesn’t aim to guide us anywhere or give us any insights. What meditation really aims to do, is to offer a moment of silence. I don’t just mean silence in the “your phone is away; the kids are at school and you have...

How You Spend Your Day is How You Spend Your Life

January 07, 2022

Trust The Process & Never Give Up

November 17, 2021

If there’s one thing we love, it’s obviously dogs, but if there are two things we love, it’s dogs and books. If you want to give us three things, we’ll take tacos. Today though, a favorite book has recently made its way back into our consciousness: The Greatest Salesman by...

What Does “Living in the Moment” Really Mean?

May 21, 2021

There’s a common misconception about the word karma. People think of it as some sort of cosmic system of checks and balances, where good deeds are rewarded, and bad behaviors are punished. In reality, the concept of karma doesn’t need an unseen force to punish or reward us, the cause and the effect are one. 

Energy - Can We Truly Change Ours?

May 10, 2021

There’s a lot of talk about energy at Bevill Dog Behavior and at Blossom Yoga School, in fact I’d dare say that this is where our two worlds overlap the most. We tell you again and again, that a dog needs a calm, confident leader, that our dogs pick up...

Spread Joy. Have Fun. Play.

May 07, 2021

You know what’s cool? Having fun.  A famous musician once told me he spends all of his money having fun and he doesn’t care if there’s nothing left when he dies. I love that attitude. In a lot of ways, having fun is what life is really all about. But...

Freedom Of Choice

May 04, 2021

Americans love the idea of freedom of choice. We’re a nation built on the ideal that as long as we play within the structure or framework our Founding Fathers created, we can do whatever we want to do, be whoever we want to be, and decide what is and isn’t...

The Power Of Consistency

May 01, 2021

Being a good dog parent means we need to be consistent. When we say that to our clients, we get a lot of head nods. Intellectually the concept has been understood but putting it into practice is another thing entirely.  There are so many moments when we fail to be...

Total Attention - The Art Of Being Present

April 30, 2021

If there’s one thing BDB’s clients, my yoga students, and well...most every person that has ever existed have in common it’s this: we’re rarely fully present.  What I mean is that our mind is generally trying to do a million things at a time, and our attention never really stays...

Give Your Dog A Job!

April 24, 2021

Hello dear friends! You’ve likely heard Brad say “dogs want to work, give them a job” over and over again. Maybe you tried having your dog mop the floor or do the dishes but that didn’t work out so well. We want to create jobs for our dogs, but what...

Direction vs. Interruption

March 25, 2021

Hello dear friends and welcome to another lesson from your friends at BDB! Today we want to talk about the difference between directing our dogs and interrupting our dogs.  Our role as a calm, capable leader for our dogs means we have to do two basic things: direct and interrupt....

Discipline vs. Punishment

March 19, 2021

The word discipline gets a bad rap, but at Bevill Dog Behavior we know that discipline and punishment are two very different things. Olympic athletes are disciplined. They follow their coach’s, nutritionist’s, and trainer’s programs to a tee. Their discipline is what makes them elite. In the human world, discipline...

Dog Behavior 101: In Summary

March 19, 2021

Well friends, we’ve come to the end of our Dog Behavior 101 Series. We’d like to review what we’ve covered over the last several posts. I know it might seem like a lot to take in, but just focus on one or two things at a time. Eventually it will all become second nature and you and your dog will be well on your way to a happier, more balanced relationship.

Behavior vs. Obedience

March 12, 2021

At Bevill Dog Behavior, we are more focused on dog behavior, than dog training/obedience. Hell, it’s right there in our name. Many people might know the difference, but to us it’s a really big deal. Let’s get it straight: Dog Behavior is not Dog Obedience. Obedience training is concerned with...

Who Is Your Dog?

March 09, 2021

Whether you’re trying to understand your long-time dog, or you’re considering getting a new dog, it’s important to know a few things about what makes a dog who they are. Knowing our dog on a deeper level allows us to better understand our individual dog’s needs. Just as humans have different personality traits that can be affected by the environment, our dogs too have unique dispositions that make them who they are as individuals. 

Dogs Want to Work. Let Them!

March 01, 2021

You’ve heard the old saying: find something you love to do, and you’ll never work a day in your life. It illustrates the human need for fulfillment in our day-to-day lives and the struggle against working boring, meaningless jobs.

How Do Dogs Communicate?

January 10, 2021

Today we’re taking a look at dog communication methods.

It’s common sense that dogs don’t speak human, but that doesn’t keep 99% of dog owners from trying anyway. You could read your dog the entire dictionary front to back and they would understand exactly zero words. You could tell your dog “no, no, we don’t jump on guests” a thousand times, and they will still jump on your guests.

23:59:59

January 10, 2021

Today we’re introducing a concept we call 23:59:59. This will help you understand why your dog acts out and what to do to prevent it.

At BDB we never get calls from clients with perfectly behaved dogs-why would we? A dog who is consistently respectful, doesn’t whine, bark, chew or otherwise act out doesn’t bother their owner-and a human with a well-behaved dog doesn’t need a dog behaviorist.

What Are Our Dogs Thinking?

January 05, 2021

We’d be remiss if we did a series on Dog Behavior 101 without talking about what’s going on in between our dog’s ears. A basic understanding of the dog’s mind can help you better meet your dog’s needs and create a balanced, happy human-dog relationship. So what are dogs thinking? How does a dog’s mind work?

What Is A Happy Dog?

January 05, 2021

Think of a dog running around, tail wagging a million miles an hour and tongue flapping out the side of their mouth. Do you think that dog looks happy? Now imagine a dog sitting on a cot quietly, doing nothing. Is that dog happy?

Four States Of Dog

January 05, 2021

A day in the life of a human is hard to define, because all of us lead such different lives. There are some fundamental elements that are the same: rest, eat, work, play, etc..but beyond that baseline our lives are pretty different. Some of us stay home with the kids, some of us go to an office, some play rock music, some do yoga, some train dogs and so on. Dogs on the other hand, tend to do the same 4 things, no matter where they live or who their owners are. Whether living in the wild, or in an apartment in Uptown, a dog will do the same 4 things every day.

What Is Love?

January 02, 2021

Ask virtually any dog-person on earth if they love their dogs and they will, of course, answer YES. 

Introduction: Part Two

December 01, 2020

Picking up where we left off. You’ll recall that in a balanced human-dog relationship, a trained dog looks to us for direction and they regularly respond to our direction in a positive manner. A dog won’t look for direction or respond to our requests unless they: 

   • are fulfilled as animal-dog-breed
   • trust our ability to direct and protect
   • know all good things come from us

Introduction: Part One

November 26, 2020

To get things started we’d like to pose a couple of questions:

   • What is a trained dog?
   • What is a well-behaved dog?

Imagine a dog that can sit, stay, fetch, roll over, play dead, do backflips and drive a car. We would probably say that dog is well trained, correct? Would we also say that they are well-behaved? Not necessarily. Let’s say this same dog does great on leash for a specific handler, but is reactive and tense with another...now how do we feel about the dog’s training/behavior?

Anne and Rousey

September 20, 2018

Rousey came to BDB with insecurity-driven dog aggression, severe leash reactivity, and general over-excitement.
