Sarah is one of K9Intel's longest-serving trainers. We first met her when she signed up for our IGP Intro class. When she initially joined, it was something to do with her brand-new German Shepherd puppy, but right away, we could see she had talent. Over time, she grew both as a handler and within the company, spending more and more time with her dog. She is always quick to help and offer her time to K9Intel and support those around her.

Achieving the first IGP1 is incredibly difficult—very few do it with their first dog. We couldn't be more proud of Sarah and Havana. Despite a few ups and downs, they earned their first IGP title. We know there is still plenty of work ahead, but this marks the beginning of a long career for Sarah. With Havana's energy and Sarah's determination, this is definitely a team to watch in the future.

Thank you so much for all you do, and congratulations on your first IGP1!

Melissa and Faze were hard to ignore when they stepped onto the field to compete for their IGP1. Throughout the entire trial Mel could be found with a smile on her face and a carefree attitude that resonated through the crowd. Faze is Mel’s first IGP dog and she was determined to have fun during every moment. Their tracking was phenomenal, all that celery really paid off! 

Faze showed off her spirit in every phase of the trial earning Mel not only her first title but also her first High IGP1. By the end of protection there was no denying that this is a team that loves the sport and everything that comes along with it. Congrats you two, we are so proud to include you in our K9Intel family.

Coming from the CKC world, Tina and Chet are no strangers to competition. Tina joined K9Intel to fine-tune her heeling and improve her dog’s focus. Throughout the classes, Tina demonstrated a strong willingness to grow and a dedication to her training. We were thrilled when this team expressed their interest in earning a BH title. From the first step onto the field, Chet was energetic and displayed incredible focus. During the traffic test, nothing phased him; you would have thought these two had been training for this day their entire lives. Congratulations, Tina! You two are an amazing team.

Kylie and Audi put on a phenomenal performance for their BH. Audi was active, focused and full of drive. This team always puts their whole heart into their training, never gives up on a challenge and exceeds our expectations everytime we see them.Kylie has been one of our greatest supporters. It was fantastic to see her rewarded for her dedication and efforts taking home the High BH award. Congrats to you both! With 3 dogs coming of age, we can't wait to see what the next trial season brings.

Daria and Jasper completed their BH in style. As a first time handler with their first IGP dog we couldn't be more thrilled! Jasper stepped into that field and showed how excited he was to be there with his favorite person. Daria displayed a calm demeanor throughout the trial that speaks to her experience gained in other dog sports. Congrats Daria and Jasper! Now on to that IGP1!

Yulia and Night have earned their very first IFH-V title! Throughout the track they displayed perseverance, drive and motivation till they reached that last article. Accomplishing an IFH-V title with such a young dog and before an IGP1, shows how much this team loves to track, and a willingness to adapt and grow with anything that comes their way. Congrats team! Can’t wait to see what next season holds.

Susanne put the time in to carve out a near perfect FH. Watching these two succeed at such a monumental title is awesome. With the dog highly active in the track, nose down, and enjoying every minute of tracking was spectacular. Quazi is a dog who loves to track and work. We are sure these two are going places next year, congratulations Susanne!

One of our favorite parts of coaching is watching our handlers step on the field. Doesn't matter if we are currently coaching them, or have in the past, we are always so excited to see people grow and build. The only thing more satisfying is the pride we feel when we get to stand beside our handlers when the trial is all done. Congratulations Rhonda and Ada for competing at your first national event. We are super proud of you getting out there and getting it done. We know you have more exciting things for us in the future!  We'll done👏👏

We are so proud of Jason and Blanco's Eaux getting their PDC in PSA! He went up against multiple amazing handlers and yet still came out on top. Jason has been working with us to fine tune some of his protection work and has brought another element to our training. We enjoyed learning new things about PSA as well as helping to prepare him for this competition. We look forward to learning and growing together and certainly more competitions in our future. Congrats Jason!

Tracking is the one category that really shows the relationship between a handler and their dog. It is a high endurance activity that will highlight your dogs emotions and training tactics. On top of that an FH track is one of the longest tracks you can do in IGP. At 2.5 hrs old and 1200 paces, Steve and Cayman vom special Highlight really demonstrated their passion tackling a track of this magnitude. Watching these two work through water, extreme heat, wildfire smoke and some creative licencing from the track later due to rough conditions, was truly inspiring. Their reward for all their hard work was a score of 90 points! Congratulations Steve and Cay, we can't wait to see what goal you set your mind to next!

According to Google, climbers have a 50-60% success rate of summiting Mt. Everest. In our opinion, achieving an IGP 3 title has even lower odds than what those climbers face. Most handlers go through years of hard work, multiple dogs, and significant life events before achieving this goal. It takes dedication, determination, discipline, and perseverance to succeed. On July 20th, Rhonda did it in style. After years of training, she achieved her IGP 3 with Ada vom Teufel. On top of that, she competed with both her dogs in the same trial, also earning her IGP 2 with her lovely dog Oberst Orcan Vom Ewigen Gletscher. With this great performance, she qualifies for Nationals, and we are super excited for this team to achieve their goals. Thanks, Rhonda, for choosing K9 Intel. We are so thankful to be by your side as you conquer Mt. Everest!

Yuliya and Night Vom Tapferen Krieger not only got their BH last weekend but they also earned the High BH award!

Through all the setbacks Yuliya has faced in such a tough sport, she has never faltered, only strived harder for her goals. It was fantastic to see her out there enjoying the fruits of her hard work. Night performed beautifully in true K9 Intel fashion, with strong heeling, unreal attention to the handler, and beautiful emotion in the work. We know it's only the first step, but we are super excited for her future!

Last weekend Kendra and Val (Atomic Vom Sternentaler) earned their BH and we could not be more proud!

They worked so hard to prepare for their trial and Kendra's previous trial experience really shined through with an awesome performance. Her dedication to our team, her very first IGP dog and to herself is everything K9INTEL strives for. Kendra, we are so thankful you chose us to help you reach your goals and can't wait to see what the future holds. 🤩
