🐾 Meet Diesel! 🐾

This handsome German Shepherd spent the weekend boarding with us, and what a lovely boy he is. Despite his big, strong presence, Diesel showed us his softer side — sometimes needing a little extra help getting comfortable in a new environment. Boarding can be a stressful experience for dogs, but that’s where we step in. 💛

We take pride in helping dogs like Diesel feel safe, supported, and cared for while their families are away. From guiding him through the routines to giving him lots of love and encouragement, he quickly settled in and reminded us why we love what we do.

It’s always such a privilege to be part of their journey, whether it’s a weekend stay or something longer. Great job, Diesel — you made yourself right at home here at Nordik K9.

Meet Leo 🐾 Our sweet senior daycare pup! Because he’s a little guy and a bit older, we make sure he has a calm, comfortable day surrounded by dogs that match his pace. Leo gets the perfect mix of relaxation, gentle company, and all the extra TLC he deserves.

✔️ Learn how to settle into the training space calmly
✔️ Get introduced to foundational skills like focus, engagement, and recall
✔️ Understand the importance of proper socialization in a safe, controlled way
✔️ Practice simple exercises that build confidence and communication
✔️ Receive clear guidance on homework to reinforce good habits at home

Whether your puppy is outgoing or shy, energetic or reserved, this class gives you the tools to set them up for success right from the start.

✨ Start your training journey today — because a well-trained puppy grows into a confident, happy dog!

🎉🐾 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME! 🐾🎉

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention because this is a HUGE moment in Nordik K9 history. It is with overwhelming pride, joy, and maybe just a touch of tears in my eyes that I announce our Employee of the Month for August… 🥁🥁🥁… BO!

Yes, that’s right — nine years young, retired Air Force Malinois, full-time tug toy annihilator, part-time bed hog, and now, the shining beacon of professional excellence at Nordik K9. 🌟

Bo has demonstrated extraordinary workplace commitment this month, including:
• Clocking a solid 47 hours of nap time on the job 💤
• Providing insightful redecoirative skills to the training room 🎨
• And heroically defending the kennel room from random suspicious people who wander on the property 🚨

Frankly, I don’t know how we’d function without his leadership, his wisdom, and his ability to make cleaning p**p just a little more magical.

So please join me in congratulating BO — not just Employee of the Month… but Employee of our hearts. ❤️🐾

Now, let’s all give him a round of applause while he ignores us completely and continues licking himself in the corner. 👏👏👏

Meet Aldo 🐾
This sweet boy came to stay with us for boarding, where he enjoyed lots of love and care in a clean, structured environment. While here, he brushed up on his confidence with new people, worked on movement desensitization around cars, and even learned a few new tricks to keep his mind busy! 💡🐶

🚛🐾 Ruffland Arrival Day! 🐾🚛

It’s like Christmas (or Chanukah) morning here at Nordik K9 — our Ruffland army has landed! 🎉

🧱 2 Intermediate
🧱 3 Large
🧱 3 XL
💥 And the beasts: 3 TITAN 3X Ginormous crates 😱

The Titans are so massive… they don’t even fit through our doors. We’re not kidding — we’re literally going through the ceiling to get them in. 💪🐶

These top-of-the-line kennels are part of our commitment to safe, secure, and comfortable housing for every dog in our care — from the tiniest terrier to the most monstrous Great Dane.

Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes chaos, crate Tetris, and maybe a ladder or two. 📦🔨
