In this Off Leash and Unfiltered episode, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—tackles dogs who are stuck in obsessive, addictive loops: reactivity like a “drug,” shadow/light chasing, water or ball fixation, and destructive chewing. The fix isn’t more management or endless commands—it’s changing the dog’s state of mind through structure and real impulse control: clear No + meaningful correction, practiced all day (doors, food, kennel, car) and, for “sometimes-allowed”

In this Off Leash and Unfiltered episode, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—defines what “trained” actually means: first-time compliance, even with distractions. If your dog is “good… unless” (squirrels, people, dogs), you’re not finished. Kati lays out the finish line (reliable sit, down, come that hold until released), why bribes stall progress, and how adding fair accountability—rehearsed on a long line—turns optional commands into non-negotiables. Episode Highlights

In this episode of Off Leash and Unfiltered, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—counts down seven common phrases that quietly sabotage training and safety. From “I don’t mind that” to the internet’s favorite hedge, “when used properly,” Kati explains why these lines keep owners stuck, how they mask real problems (arousal, management, lack of accountability), and what to say—and do—instead. Episode Highlights Minute-by-Minute Breakdown

In this episode of Off Leash and Unfiltered, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—walks through a real consult: a recently divorced owner, a new trailer-park setting full of small off-leash “yappy” dogs, and an older, anxious German Shepherd who’s now reacting to daily triggers. After a door-slip incident where the shepherd pinned a small dog (no injuries), Kati lays out a frank, practical roadmap: accept accountability, install structure, teach automatic rules (doors,

In this episode of Off Leash and Unfiltered, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—shares the three principles that work across almost any dog: clear physical guidance, emotionally neutral handling, and staying quiet.

In this episode of Off Leash and Unfiltered, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—dives into the “trade game” most owners play when a dog won’t give up an item. She explains why bribing with food reinforces the very behavior you’re trying to stop, when to correct directly (for never-allowed behaviors), and how to teach a clean, accountable out so your dog drops and moves off resources on command. Episode Highlights Minute-by-Minute Breakdown

In this episode of Off Leash and Unfiltered, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—explains why most behavior problems don’t appear out of nowhere. Owners often pin issues on a single event (a dog attack, a bad interaction, even past training), but the patterns usually developed long before. Kati shows how to spot early tells, avoid reinforcing the wrong sequence with well-meaning treats, and take practical steps that prevent “little things” from becoming big problems

In this episode of Off Leash and Unfiltered, Kati Peppe—owner of Diamond K9 Dog Training in Biddeford, Maine—reframes the classic request for a “refresher.” Dogs don’t usually “forget” training; they renegotiate rules when accountability fades. Kati breaks down why effectiveness beats endless “consistency,” how to prevent slide-backs by keeping tools in play, and why the real fix is owners returning to clear rules, boundaries, and meaningful follow-through.

That paradox sits at the heart of our latest exploration into polar bear behavior and the hidden scaffolding of the Arctic food web.

Feline behavior is an intricate language full of nuance, offering unique insights for anyone willing to observe. While cats can seem mysterious, an attentive listener can decode a world of meaning behind every swish of the tail, blink, or quirky habit. According to information from MedVet, one of the most recognizable behaviors is kneading, where cats rhythmically push their paws against a soft surface. This traces back to kittenhood and signals contentment, affection, and sometimes even an intent

Cat psychology is captivating and constantly surprising, especially now as researchers and cat lovers alike finally give these enigmatic creatures the credit they deserve for their emotional depth.

These bonds go both ways: just as cats shape our emotional well-being, the mental
