EP #312: Blas Cardenas with 5starK9Trainer

What Makes Blas Cardenas with 5starK9Trainer a Good Neighbor...

Ever wondered why your beloved four-legged friend seems to understand everything except your commands? Blas Cardenas, owner of Five Star Canine Trainer, reveals the surprising truth: we’re speaking the wrong language.

With nearly 30 years of experience transforming dog behavior across South Florida, Blas introduces a powerful concept—your dog isn’t a furry human.
“One of the most common mistakes dog owners make is humanizing their dogs,” he explains. Whether it’s a tiny Chihuahua or a towering Great Dane, your dog is essentially a domesticated wolf with specific communication needs that humans often miss.

🐕 In This Episode:
• Why emotional goodbyes can create dependency
• How greetings can unintentionally teach dogs to jump
• The danger of misreading cute behavior as obedience
• Tools and techniques for leash pulling, doorbell excitement, and more
• Why consistency beats intensity when it comes to training
• How to build respect and trust without force

Blas's approach is proactive, practical, and rooted in respect for the dog’s true nature. His insights can help transform even the most challenging behavior into a path toward a calm, obedient, and happy companion.

🏡 "A well-trained dog is a happy, happy home indeed."
