Protection Dog Podcast

- Almost all animals are both predator and prey at some level - Define Predator and Prey for discussion - It's important to understand that neither of these mentalities are good or bad, they have benefits and downsides - Prey Mentality - Food doesn't run so they often don't pursue - Anxiety - prey animals move away from anxiety or go on high alert - Stress - prey animals avoid stress if at all possible and are more negatively affected - Goals - may pursue a goal if absolutely necessary, but generally wait for what they need or accept what is available - Predator Mentality - Food runs, so it's natural to pursue - Anxiety - look for and hunt those with anxiety, their weakness is an opportunity - Stress - will push into stress somewhat creating a stress inoculation reaction - Goals - pursue what they want and are willing to deal with stress and anxiety to achieve it - What is the best way to think about how to deal with problems? - Play - Life is a series of games - Every problem is an opportunity in disguise - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - NOSTR pub key npub1j8neuc5udhsp3z336zgzlgwslxwf3gulh4fyxk2w22hxsuvv2emq4xyua7 - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Join us April 6-7, 2024 at Self Reliance Festival.

- Defining chaos - the absence of a clear direction forward - Defining order - functioning in a manner that is predictable and consistent Dog training - Chaos - inconsistency, erratic behavior, nervousness - If your dog behaves in these manners, it is often because they are recieving unclear communication - Slow yourself down and clearly define to yourself what you want and then work to communicate that to your dog - Order - obedience, calm mannerisms, confidence - Walking the line of proper tension between these two is important for progress forward while not over stressing the dog In life - Chaos - if you feel chaotic in life, this will often reflect in your dog's behavior. - The dog reflects the handler.

Setting goals - before you can accomplish something, you must imagine it If you don't know where you're going, any train will get you there. You cannot accomplish anything meaningful in life without first deciding to. Goal categories: Career, Relationships Family & Friends), Health (Physical and Mental), Spiritual, Security (Sustainable Financial & Physical) Develop a long-term plan based on one clear, long term goal in each category. THIS REQUIRES AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF MENTAL IMAGINATION WORK. Short term and mid term goals should all clearly connect to accomplishing your long-term goal. Goals should be SMART: Specific & Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely My Emotion Thought Action Loop - Emotion leads to Thoughts leads to Actions leads to Emotions - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - NOSTR pub key npub1j8neuc5udhsp3z336zgzlgwslxwf3gulh4fyxk2w22hxsuvv2emq4xyua7 - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Join us April 6-7, 2024 at Self Reliance Festival.

YOUR LIFE SUCKS! Here's how to make it awesome Make the things you have to do and the things you want to do the same thing Embrace the Suck. When you embrace the suck, you get to: Learn how to deal with adversity in a positive manner Choose which suck you get to embrace Be better equipped to deal with random suck. Create the life you want to live There is suck in every pursuit. But if you have to deal with suck anyway, why not choose the suck that give you the life you want. I'm not going to lie to you, there is a lot more suck on this path. But you will find the freedom it creates, and the frequency of you doing the things you love increase to overcome the level of suck. What happens if you don't Embrace the Suck and Create the life you want to live? You will deal with suck no matter what You will not be equipped to deal with suck, because you only ever pursue pleasure and ease. You will deal with random suck and have little ability to divert away from it because you have no good suck to embrace You will continue spending your life energy working to do something that you don't want to do. You will be working to make someone else happy while you continue to make yourself miserable.

Define stupid for the purpose of this discussion. I love to listen to these talks for two reasons: 1. I'm truly interested in the topic. 2. I love to learn how other people think. If you have any interest in increasing the depth of your thought, about anything in your life, then I ask that you bear with me. It will be a fun ride. Jordan Peterson's explanation to “Do You Believe in God?” Why do people seek simple answers to complex questions? If you truly want to know something, you have to be true to the pursuit of truth. You have to be willing to realize and admit if you are completely wrong. Sometimes you have to admit that you don't know and that can be very scary to people. We need to stop being lazy and complacent. Being stupid is not good. Why are people in the dog world so stupid? Why are these two topics even remotely connected together? Learning to think is learning to think no matter the topic. Too many people run off into assumption land with things they know nothing about. Protection Training and the crazy things young men have been reaching out to me about. Crazy ideas about how to train a dog to fight. 1. How does a dog learn to fight in nature? How should we be training dogs to fight? WTF!! Are some of these young idiots learning that make them think they know anything!! Let's step back and think about how we would teach a 12yo to fight. What about teaching an 18yo how to be a soldier? What about an experienced soldier? What about a Special Operations soldier? If you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, stop talking and start experimenting. If you're under 30 and/or you have been training dogs for less than 10 years, you're a fucking idiot. That's ok, keep learning, but NEVER think you have it figured out. - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - NOSTR pub key npub1j8neuc5udhsp3z336zgzlgwslxwf3gulh4fyxk2w22hxsuvv2emq4xyua7 - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Join us April 6-7, 2024 at Self Reliance Festival.

Even if you're not in a northern climate, the preparations we will talk about can help you be prepared to take care of your dog. Conditions you can find yourself in during winter Storms: - Snow that makes travel inconvenient or impossible - Snow that limits your ability to exit your home - Ice and Sleet that make moving outside dangerous and can cause injury to you or your dog Options are Bugging in or Bugging Out Things you can do to prepare: Emergency Kit for Your Dog Compile a dog-specific emergency kit including food, water, medications, and important documents. Include warm blankets, a first-aid kit, and a leash/harness for control during walks. Shelter and Safety Ensure your dog's shelter is well-insulated and protected from drafts. Create a designated indoor space where your dog can stay warm and safe during the storm. Cold Weather Gear Invest in cold-weather gear such as a doggy coat or sweater, booties to protect paws from ice and salt, and a dog-friendly hat to keep their ears warm. Evacuation Plan Plan ahead for potential evacuations, identifying pet-friendly shelters or accommodations. Ensure your dog has proper identification, including a collar with contact information and a microchip. Behavior and Exercise Keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated during indoor confinement with interactive toys and puzzles. Maintain a consistent exercise routine to help them expend energy even when it's cold outside. - https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/bu.https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/bug-out-planning-orig-148 - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - NOSTR pub key npub1j8neuc5udhsp3z336zgzlgwslxwf3gulh4fyxk2w22hxsuvv2emq4xyua7 - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Join us April 6-7, 2024 at Self Reliance Festival.

Had an amazing conversation with Tim the Toolman from the Workshop.toolmantim.co

Tactical Decision Making - Why is it so important to make most tactical decisions ahead of time? - Dangers of emotion based decisions - movies and tv - You almost always make poor decisions in a tactical environment with emotions - All tactical decisions have to be made with Logic and Reason with a determined goal in mind - What is the goal of a tactical decision? Restore the area to safety, end the threat - GOAL - End the threat NOT save your family or even yourself - Why not save your family? Why not save yourself? - If you can force your enemy to start making emotional decisions, you can almost always overcome them. Snipers, using dogs, surprise in general (value to intelligence) DECISION MAKING must be done prior to the situation. Why? TACTICAL OPTIONS: 1. Evasion and Escape 2. De-Escalation 3. Aggressive Defense - Fighting SITUATIONS: 1. Home Invasion or Direct Attack 2. Active Shooter 3.

Building the Life You Want (Expanding on ideas from Jordan Peterson) - Finding Order in Chaos - You can't set a course on a map if you don't know where you are - If you don't know where you're going, any map will get you there - Once you know where you are and where you're going, stay up straight with your shoulders back and start walking - Balancing Freedom and Responsibility - Focus on your Circle of Control, Influence and Concern, IN THAT ORDER - Stop worrying about what other people say or think.

Disclaimer - This is not in any way to indicate that there isn't a time or place for fight for yourself or others. But there are many situations where de-escalation is the bast approach. You must always ask yourself, do I have time and opportunity? Understanding De-Escalation - De-escalation is a strategic approach to defuse conflicts and high-tension situations. - The importance of staying calm and composed when facing high-threat scenarios is critical. - Emphasize that de-escalation doesn't imply weakness; it's a strategic approach to protect oneself and others. Advantages of De-Escalation - You win every fight you don't have. - If you must fight you want it to be as violent, on your part, as possible and over as quickly as possible. Every second a fight continues is time for it to go bad for you. - Preserves legal and ethical standing in case of legal repercussions. There is always the fight after the fight. Techniques for Effective De-Escalation - Technique 1: Listening Before Acting - If the person who is threatening you is voicing a problem with you, then you may want to listen to that and ask yourself if you may have done something wrong. Tell the story of the Walmart parking lot. - Do not allow the threat to close distance or place you in additional risk while listening to them. - Technique 2: Verbal Calming - Lower and relax your voice as much as possible. They no longer have to compete by elevating their vocals which also elevates emotions. It calms them down, and can give you a tactical advantage if you remain alert, should you need it. - Technique 3: Offering Solutions - Ask questions: What can I do to make the situation better? What did I do to upset you? How can I help you? Questions do multiple things in our brain, they take us out of fight or flight because they require us to think. They also communicate that there may be another alternative to physical force. - Using "we" language can create a sense of collaboration. - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - NOSTR pub key npub1j8neuc5udhsp3z336zgzlgwslxwf3gulh4fyxk2w22hxsuvv2emq4xyua7 - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Listen to podcasts and earn Bitcoin for free at fountain.fm - Join us at Self Reliance Festival, Oct 14-15, 2023 in Camden, TN - https://selfreliancefestival.com - Join us at Prepper Camp, Sept 23-25, 2023 in Saluda, North Carolina - https://www.preppercamp.com - Email: fortressk9@gmail.com or joel@fortressk9.com - Text me at 813-836-9244.

- Understanding Resilience - what it means and why its important    - The ability to mentally and emotionally cope with crises, stress, or adversity, bouncing back to a baseline level of normal functioning after these challenging experiences. - Role of resilience in life and in dog training - Many people give up far too quickly and easily in both     - It involves flexibility in thought and behavior, enabling individuals to adapt to change, manage difficulties, and achieve stability in their lives despite hardships. - Grit, defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, plays a crucial role in developing resilience.    - It fosters a non-cognitive trait that allows individuals to remain focused and steadfast in the face of adversity or failure, thereby bolstering their ability to bounce back. In essence, the more grit a person possesses, the more likely they are to demonstrate resilience when encountering obstacles, as their unwavering determination enables them to endure and overcome challenges.    - Perseverance is developed through facing continual challenges that are difficult, but achievable at your current level of capability.    - Passion is your determination and willingness to suffer for a goal    - Positive emotion as described by Jordan Peterson - The Positive take away from today: Are you experiencing hard times, challenges or set backs in your life right now? Your job? Your relationships? Feel stuck and stagnant in your life? I have great news, you are in the perfect place to start or continue building resilience in your life. - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - NOSTR pub key npub1j8neuc5udhsp3z336zgzlgwslxwf3gulh4fyxk2w22hxsuvv2emq4xyua7 - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Listen to podcasts and earn Bitcoin for free at fountain.fm - Join us at Self Reliance Festival, Oct 14-15, 2023 in Camden, TN - https://selfreliancefestival.com - Join us at Prepper Camp, Sept 23-25, 2023 in Saluda, North Carolina - https://www.preppercamp.com - Email: fortressk9@gmail.com or joel@fortressk9.com - Text me at 813-836-9244.

I. The Importance of Building Tribe What does it mean to have “Tribe”. Define what Tribe means. Why is this an important topic to discuss in today's climate? Why are we connecting Dog Training and Building Tribe? We often take our connection with the dogs for granted, and how much similarity there is between our interpersonal connections and our connection with our dogs. II. The Foundation: Trust and Respect (Link to Dog Training) -Discuss the importance of trust and respect in dog training. -Translate these concepts into building human relationships within your tribe. -Building a Tribe doesn't mean that you are close friends with everyone and that you would trust them to have your back. It is about having a network that offers mutual benefit to both parties. III. Clear Communication: The Key to Successful Training and a Thriving Tribe -Discuss the role of clear, consistent communication in dog training. -Explain how these principles apply to human interactions within a community or tribe. -We often make the mistake of thinking we have to share everything about our lives with every member of our Tribe. There are many different levels to your Tribe, and communication should be catered to each accordingly. IV. Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging Desired Behavior -Talk about the concept of positive reinforcement in dog training. -Discuss how this can be adapted to encourage participation, engagement, and positive behavior within your tribe. -Always remember that relationships go both ways. You want to be a benefit to each member of your network as well as find members of the network that can benefit you. You get more of what you encourage and less of what you discourage…generally speaking. V. Handling Conflict: Lessons from Behavior Correction in Dog Training -Discuss techniques used in dog training to correct undesirable behaviors. -Explore how these strategies can be applied to conflict resolution within your tribe. -Don't make the mistake of thinking that every disagreement is worth arguing over. It doesn't matter the political perspective of your butcher or plumber. It is more important to find the areas where you have common ground to build a relationship. VI.

The Difference Between Dog & Man and What Makes Dogs so Unique to Us- 12 Pillars of Dog Training - 7. Dogs are not humans. 8. Dogs do not think humans are dogs.- There is this predominating theory in the dog training world that you have to be the dog's alpha, as if you are the pack leader.   - Have you ever seen a tiger lead a dog pack? Or a bull elephant? Why not? Those animals could dominate any single dog in the pack.- What makes us similar and draws us to the dog?   - Humans and dogs both have a desire to bond. Humans often have desires to bond to many different types of animals and you see that in the variety of animals that humans work with. Dogs want to bond to a human.   - This makes the dog unique in the animal world.- How are we so different?   - The dog has no access to the world of human reason and morality. If an evil person trained a dog to bite children on command for no reason, the dog would do it. Dogs do not know why we ask them to sit and wait.

- Mindset must be right - Winners focus on solutions and losers focus on problems. - Choose the right market or have diversity - Doesn't matter if you are developing a business/side hustle or have a job, think about the market you are in and the impacts of the coming recession/depression - Wants vs Needs - People will cut back to the bare necessities on needs before they will give up wants - The Routine of Success - Being successful is boring and requires consistent discipline. My mother often sends me messages asking what I'm doing. The same thing almost every day. - Things you do every day - Things you do every week - What the hell does any of this have to do with dog training? - Our business has to keep all these things in mind as well. Oddly, when times get tough on people, we tend to get more business, not less. But if we don't do all the things I just told you, we won't have the dogs to sell when the time comes. - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/our-dogs/puppies ; k9academy.us - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Listen to podcasts and earn Bitcoin for free at fountain.fm - Join us at Self Reliance Festival, Mar 25-26, 2023 in Camden, TN - https://selfreliancefestival.com - Join us at Living Free in TN Spring Workshop, Apr 27-29, 2023 - https://www.livingfreeintennessee.com... - Join us at Prepper Camp, Sept 23-25, 2023 in North Carolina - https://www.preppercamp.com - Email: fortressk9@gmail.com or joel@fortressk9.com - Text me at 813-836-9244.

- Warnings before starting - Best way to fix food aggression problems is to never have them, start training as a puppy - Food aggression width people vs dogs - Basic Intro Drill - 1. Dog on lead, person standing, correct if aggression. 2. Dog on lead, touching while eating, correct/praise. 3. Dog on lead, petting and rubbing dog and getting near head, correct/praise. 4. Dog on Lead, kneeling and petting, “leave it” take food, praise, return food, praise/correct. - Additions Bring children near dog while eating (SAFETY!!) Begin bringing dogs together. Considerations if multiple dogs are aggressive. If you have to give multiple corrections in a single session, I remove food for the day and start again tomorrow. They miss that meal. - Comments and Other Scenarios - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Listen to podcasts and earn Bitcoin for free at fountain.fm - Join us at Self Reliance Festival, Mar 25-26, in Camden, TN - https://selfreliancefestival.com - Join us at Prepper Camp, Sept 23-25 in North Caroliina - https://www.preppercamp.com - Email: fortressk9@gmail.com or joel@fortressk9.com - Text me at 813-836-9244.

There is a concept in the Bible about going through the fire. And the idea is, if you want to reach heaven or Paradise, you have to pass through the fire to get there. There is another concept of wheat and chaff. Chaff is the left over waste after you get the wheat ready to use. How much of your life is usable and how much is chaff that should be thrown away or burned away? If you went through the fire, and chances are you will go through it, how much if your life would burn away and be found useless? How much of your life would be tempered and show itself valuable? - Resources from this episode: Tactical Response - The Fight Class https://www.tacticalresponse.com/collections/training/products/the-fight-force-on-force-scenarios - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Listen to podcasts and earn Bitcoin for free at fountain.fm - Join us at Self Reliance Festival, Mar 25-26, in Camden, TN - https://selfreliancefestival.com - Join us at Prepper Camp, Sept 23-25 in North Caroliina - https://www.preppercamp.com - Email: fortressk9@gmail.com or joel@fortressk9.com - Text me at 813-836-9244.

- What is Freedom? Lack of tyranny in your life. Choices free of coercion, but not necessarily restriction. - What is Tyranny? Any real or perceived authority requiring you to do something or restricting you from doing something so long as that thing doesn't harm another person. 1. Take control of your mind. This is the hardest of all to do. Reading, podcasts, listening to opposing views and from people who encourage freedom. Stop watching any main stream news channels. 2. Take control of your time. Planning, scheduling and removing outside influences (like a job, kid activities, social expectations, etc.). You have a limited amount of days on the earth, decide what you want to do with them. 3. Take control of your money. Budget, make more money or work less for same money, save in something that doesn't lose value. Bitcoin not crypto 4. Take control of your health. Diet (ketovore, carnivore), exercise (I like crosssfit type workouts, but do something physical), natural supplements and methods, then pharmaceuticals. 5. Take control of your perceptions. Sphere of control. Sphere of influence. Sphere of concern. Stop allowing things outside one of these three to have any affect on your life. 6. Start a business. Tax benefits, less influence from bad ideas, you control your time, you can affect your income. 7. Take control of your security. Learn to deal with stress, take a course. Learn to defend yourself with hands, guns and maybe a dog. Learn how to think like a criminal, how would I attack me? 8. Continue to educate yourself and take control of your children's education. Always be learning, and be aware of what your children are learning. I recommend you get them out of the government schools if possible. 9. Never trust the “authorities.” Always assume they are lying until you can prove they were telling the truth. FNORDS - I so mistrust the government, I reacted opposite to the intention of them. 10. Take control of your food. You should produce some amount of your own food and source as much as possible from local farmers and ranchers. - Don't try to do all of these right away, pick one or two and start there. Then come re-listen and pick another one or two. - Websites: fortressk9.com ; fortressk9.com/puppies ; k9academy.us - Get the Fold Card and start earning Bitcoin for purchases you're already making at use.foldapp.com/r/ME4MCF9U - Listen to podcasts and earn Bitcoin for free at fountain.fm - Join us at Self Reliance Festival, Mar 25-26, in Camden, TN - https://selfreliancefestival.com - Join us at Prepper Camp, Sept 23-25 in North Caroliina - https://www.preppercamp.com - Email: fortressk9@gmail.com or joel@fortressk9.com - Text me at 813-836-9244.
