Breed Outlets 101 | MK9Plus
📬 Another one, because you missed the webinar

Susan's training fixed her dog. So why isn't it fixing yours?

Because behavioural problems can have different causes, and most people have no idea what's actually up with their dog. This mini lesson is about the big one: breed-specific outlets.

⏪ Missed yesterday's mini lesson? Watch that first

A statistic to sit with "90% of the dogs sat next to the people watching this video are frustrated."
Outlets 101 · The cheat sheet

An outlet is a behaviour that relieves...

🔥 Frustration 🔥

Sound familiar? Tick any of these and your dog is telling you something:

🐿️ Obsessed with things outside 🔁 Settles, then jumps straight back up 👣 Pacing 😩 Whining for something to do 🚧 Loses it at barriers: leads, baby gates, being left

⚡ Situational frustration

Every dog gets frustrated sometimes: they love something, they want it, they can't get to it. That's normal, and the training for those moments lives on MK9Plus.

🔥 Chronic frustration

The big one, and today's topic. A dog that is constantly frustrated: restless, hyperactive, obsessive, where anything can become a barrier. That's the crazy dog you're living with.

"Chronic frustration happens because there is no outlet. Give your dog an outlet, and you're left with a nice, normal, healthy dog." Max Randall · MK9Plus

Open up your dog's brain: the seeking system

Also called the dopamine system. It fires up when a dog does very specific behaviours, the predatory ones we've been breeding into them for centuries.

👃 Sniffing / tracking 👁️ Staring 🐾 Stalking 🏃 Chasing 🦷 Grab-biting 💥 Killing 🔬 Dissecting 🍽️ Consuming

Every breed has had different links of this chain strengthened or weakened. Which means your dog's frustration, and their outlet, is written right there in their bloodline.

Your dog's problems are breed-specific problems

Two examples from the lesson. And if you don't know your dog's breed, this still applies: every single dog needs an outlet.

🦴 The retrievers

Cockapoos, spaniels, Labradors, Labradoodles

SniffingGrab-biting

Bred to find things and pick them up. The rest of the chain? Bit boring, frankly.

Frustrated version: every sock, shoe and pair of underwear in your house gets found and carried off. Stealing IS the symptom.

🐇 The sighthounds

Whippets, greyhounds, salukis, lurchers, Afghans

StaringChasing

Bred to spot movement and run it down. That's the whole joy of being alive.

Frustrated version: their problems all live outside. Obsessed with everything that moves, gone the second something runs.

"Why do you think so many people end up using harsh tools and loads of food? Because they're asking for something so unnatural from a dog that never gets to be a dog." Max Randall · MK9Plus
The bottom line
Your dog needs an outlet. If you don't give them one... they'll find their own

Your sofa. Your skirting boards. Every squirrel in the county. Can you see where the problems come from? But tap into the outlet and everything flips: a dog having a nice life is a healthy dog, a trainable dog, and training you can actually phase out. That's when people's jaws drop on walks, no tools, no managing, because your dog is simply fine.

And now you know. But knowing isn't living it

What's YOUR breed's outlet? Before the walk, after, or during? What about rest days? Is there a way to build this in and do it with your eyes closed? Because, say it with me...

💡 Good ideas + 🚫 No system = 😮‍💨 Constant battle

Achieve longevity

The system built for living with a dog, not just training them.

⚓ Yes, the boat story is still true

The man who offered to paint his boat

On the webinar, I offered lifetime access to MK9Plus for £340. A few days later, a man messaged me.

A true story
MK9PLUS

"I can't afford that upfront cost, but I want to help my dog so badly, I'll paint my boat with your MK9Plus logo and slogan if I can have discounted access."

I told him please, don't paint your boat. But there have to be more people in that exact situation. So, against some pushback from the team, I'm trying something new.

The team pushed back on this, prices exist for a reason. If it attracts people who aren't committed, I'll simply cancel the idea. But if you're the type who would paint your boat to help your dog, this is definitely for you.
