The Springer Spaniel family we lovingly dote on — , , and — were very happy to see us tonight.

We were greeted like absolute royalty by Miss Marley at the door, tail wagging and full of enthusiasm.

Brother Buddy wasted no time demanding immediate attention the second we stepped inside (classic Buddy). And Rae?

Well… Rae emerged dramatically from the depths, let out her signature battle cry, and made it very clear that the ball will be thrown — or there will be hell to pay.

It’s always pure chaos, laughter, and love with this crew — the kind of greeting that makes every visit unforgettable.

At Kairo’s K9s Training, we don’t sell pretty gear — we sell gear that performs first, and it looks good second.

Every single day.

Each piece is locally made in Saskatoon by our trusted partners, designed to stand up to the daily grind of working dogs, service dogs, and pet owners who don’t back down when the weather turns.

Waterproof. Weatherproof. Easy to clean. Saskatchewan tough.

Field-tested and trusted by our own teams, backed by a supplier warranty you can trust.

Used daily by and countless others who live by the same standard we do:

Adventure Tested. Handler Approved. Built to Last.

We train hard. We work harder.

Mornings are exceptionally busy in our household, from getting Atticus up and ready for school to feeding and prepping Kairo for work. Time seems to slip away from us rather quickly.

This morning, Atticus fed Kairo, grabbed his equipment and set it down, and called him up to the couch where I was writing emails.

He sat with him and said."Ok, Kairo, you are gunna help Dad with some puppies today, so I really need you to keep everyone safe, Ok?"

Several sloppy kisses later, Atticus giggled and looked at him and stroked his ears.

"Dad, do you think he misses me when I'm at school?"

I smiled, and said, "Of course he does. You should see his tail going when he realizes we are picking you up!"

Satisfied with this answer, Atticus grabbed his bag and went to leave, turned back, and said;

"I'm going to Moms for a few days, Kai, you can sleep on my bed if you want. - Dad, give him some extra food, its gunna be cold, Ok?"

A true legend, this kid.

If dog parks are so safe…
Why don’t you ever see Service Dogs or Police K9s in them?

It’s simple — because GOOD handlers know better.

Dog parks are unpredictable.

There’s no screening, no control, and no guarantee that every dog inside is vaccinated, well-socialized, or under recall.

It only takes one bad interaction to undo months — sometimes years — of training, trust, and confidence.

We’ve seen too many good dogs come home from the park with more trauma than playtime.

Dogs like Kairo — and the ones we train — are carefully managed.

Their exposure and socialization are structured, intentional, and designed to build reliability and confidence, not chaos.

If dog parks were truly safe, you’d see educated professionals using them..

But you don’t.

At Kairo’s K9s Training, we’ll always choose structured, safe socialization over chaos disguised as play.

Choose private offleash spaces, sniffspots, or reputable businesses in the area that offer rentals where YOU and YOUR dogs have control, safety, and security

We started our morning bright and early with a training session featuring Service Dog Kairo sporting his new gear — dropping Atticus off at school, then heading to Walmart to grab some supplies for medication storage in his new saddle bags.

So far, Kairo seems to love his new setup. The fit is excellent, the weight is balanced, and he’s moving like he’s worn it for years.

It’s always amazing how quickly he adapts to new equipment when it’s properly fitted and comfortable.

And yes — we train in Walmart often. Not because it’s easy (it’s not), but because it’s one of the most challenging public environments you can find — loud, busy, full of distractions, and unpredictable.

It’s also one of two stores where Kairo’s been attacked in the past by fake dogs.

So, we take what used to be a stressful place and turn it into a positive one.

We “dopamine blast” the experience by feeding his breakfast in-store, keeping him focused, confident, and relaxed the entire time.

We wrapped up the session with a coffee, some quiet reflection, and a very proud handler moment — because it’s the little victories that mean the most.

As many of our clients know, one of Kairo’s harnesses was recently damaged beyond repair — and we were not thrilled about it.

Losing specialized equipment for him is never easy; every piece is fitted for comfort, safety, and utility, and finding a replacement can be a challenge.

After doing a ton of research, we discovered that the original harness maker no longer produces the specific model we loved, so down the rabbit hole we went… and landed on the ONETIGRIS line of products.

After carefully measuring Kairo, we placed our order — and, as luck would have it, while we ordered black, the manufacturer substituted a red one instead (the black wasn’t available in his size).

So, we rolled with it.

Now we’ve got one very bold-looking Service Dog — and honestly, we’re not mad about it.

What do you think of the red on Kairo? Does he pull it off?

$400 custom vest or $40 Amazon one — doesn’t matter.

The gear doesn’t make the dog. The training does.

Let’s clear something up about Service Dog gear — because the judgment out there is getting ridiculous.

If you’ve followed Kairo for a while, you’ve probably noticed he wears a wide range of equipment.

Some of it is custom-made, embroidered, and cost a small fortune. And some of it?

Straight from Amazon — affordable, simple, and perfectly functional.

Here’s the truth: you can buy the most expensive vest in the world, but if the dog underneath it isn’t trained to mitigate a disability, it’s just a pet in fancy fabric.

Kairo’s gear changes day to day depending on:

• My needs and who’s with me

• What’s clean, inspected, and functional

• The weather and his comfort

Today’s a cold, wet day here in Saskatchewan. We’re out as a family, and Kairo’s tired — he worked hard last night. So he’s wearing his Amazon vest. It’s light, it’s comfortable, and if it gets muddy, I don’t care.

And here’s the part most people forget:

Service Dog handlers — myself included — already spend a huge amount on our dogs’ care. Food, supplements, vet visits, equipment, and ongoing training add up fast.

Dropping hundreds more on custom embroidery isn’t always an option - even for us.

We have teams on our roster who use only Amazon gear — and we don’t care.

Because the quality of the gear doesn’t determine the quality of the work.

What matters is the dog’s behavior.

The teamwork. The consistency.
The quiet communication between a handler and the dog who keeps them safe.

So the next time you see a Service Dog team out in public, don’t judge the vest.

Judge the work.

Because that’s what defines a real team.

Last night, we proudly celebrated the accomplishments of , , , , and , the newest graduates of our Bond Builders: Beginner Obedience program!

At Kairo’s K9s Training, we believe great training starts with building a strong relationship between you and your dog. That’s the foundation of our Bond Builders series — a program designed to help dog owners lay the groundwork for trust, communication, and lifelong success.

Over six weeks, these incredible teams worked through the fundamentals using positive reinforcement, science-based methods, and our signature relationship-first approach. It’s not just about “commands” — it’s about teamwork, understanding, and connection.

Throughout this program, our graduates mastered the essentials:

• Marker words & timing — creating clarity and consistency

• Name recognition & focus — building engagement even in distraction

• Sit, down, & place — fostering calmness and impulse control

• Loose leash walking — turning chaos into cooperation

• Recall foundations — starting reliable responses that save lives

• Impulse control games — teaching patience through play

• and so much more!

Each team faced challenges, celebrated breakthroughs, and grew stronger together — and their progress was nothing short of inspiring.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our friends at Dance Alive Studios for generously providing us with such an incredible, supportive space to host this class. Their partnership allows us to create a calm and controlled environment for both dogs and handlers to succeed.

This program is where it all begins — the first step in our Bond Builders training series that continues through Intermediate and Advanced Obedience.

Every graduate from this class has laid the foundation for a lifetime of communication and cooperation with their dog.

Congratulations to all our teams — you’ve worked hard, stayed consistent, and built better bonds every single week.

The Kairo’s K9s Training team is tired tonight — but it’s the good kind of tired.

After a full day of training, from a private session with Wasabi (featuring guest appearances from Chilli and Azlan) — to public access work with Akamaru, and a pet-friendly outing with Prince — we’re wrapping up with our Bond Builders graduation day.

Now, as the day winds down, Junior Trainer Atticus and Service Dog Kairo are cuddled up in the work truck, heading home after a long, successful day at the office.

Our team puts everything we have into the families and dogs we work with — and tonight, we’re running on gratitude (and maybe caffeine).

More updates and photos from today’s sessions will be coming soon.

But for now, it’s time for some well-earned R&R for our crew.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to do what we love.

And we appreciate all of the clients who trust us to be there for the dogs they love.

Thank you so much for choosing our small business. It means the world to us 🥰
