BLEW US AWAY today with our first outing to a store as we practiced heelwork, neutrality, and basic obedience in a setting Whiskey has never been in before!

Whiskey is a high drive poodle mix who used to PULL so bad he would choke as he dragged his owners towards anything that interested him!

This boy is motivated, smart, and willing to push to get what he wants, so....

We gave them some homework, and they KNOCKED it out of the park as they trained heelwork, sit and down and practiced and practiced, and practiced, and today, we put that work to the test!

And THIS BOY WAS ON FIRE 🔥 - as he demonstrated with his mom how to put that motivation to WORK !

His owners left the session feeling happy and hopeful that they could live the life they wanted to with young Whiskey as they were starting to see the fruits of their labor!

This is the Kairo's K9s family at work, and we are SO PROUD of this team as they show what hard work and determination can do!

Keep up the great work! We will see you again soon 🥰

As a trainer, there are some appointments we go to that are not appropriate for Service Dog Kairo to attend.

These appointments are meet and greet appointments or introductions to basics where we need to work in low distraction areas or introductory reactivity training where the client isn't quite ready to work around another dog.

We have set protocols in place to keep me safe when Kairo isn't able to attend with me.

1. I'm never alone. My lovely spouse Ashley is nearby to assist in the event a medical episode flares its ugly head.

2. I have additional medication and technology on board to reduce the likelihood of an episode occurring.

3. In the event of a medical episode, the client receives a make-up lesson, no questions asked.

4. In the event a medical episode occurs before a scheduled appointment, my team will communicate immediately and reschedule as needed.

We are proudly owned by a disabled person, and while that presents unique challenges at times, we are committed to ensuring my medical conditions don't interfere with the service you know and love.

Service Dog Kairo may not always understand why he has to remain at home, but our clients do and continue to show that supporting small businesses like ours is the heart of the Saskatchewan economy.

To all our clients and supporters, thank you for continuing to show that my medical conditions don't prevent me from doing what I love.

The Kairo's K9s Training team went to The Stoked Centre tonight and had some family time and kicked it playing our favorite games!

Junior Trainer Atticus hit the high score on his favorite racing game and whipped his Dad's butt at many more!

Service Dog Kairo CGN was on duty, and enjoyed relaxing with the family while he did his important work, and alerted to Dad when he needed to and napped at his feet when he could.

Ashley threw her hat in the ring and got a decent score at Minecraft Adventures, despite never playing any Minecraft in her life!

We are grateful for the Stoked staff, for making our night special, and ensuring Kairo was accommodated and made to feel welcome.

Our wait staff earned a huge gratituity as they demonstrated exactly how to behave around a working dog, pretend he's not there!

Thank you for making us feel welcome 🙏

One of the most popular things people say to us when they see Kairo in public is:

"Wow, I wish my dog was this calm."

What they don't realize is that Kairo is calm, cool, and collected because he's working.

When he's off duty, he is very much a dog, doing zoomies all over the place, playing with his toys, causing general chaos, and getting into trouble occasionally.

He is a very energetic dog, with just as much motivation to get into trouble as anyone else, happily running amok and being a typical dog.

And being exceptionally proud of it too.

This morning, Kairo woke up, did zoomies around the bedroom, launched himself into Atticus room, woke him up and tore upstairs waiting for Atti to feed him, all while proudly sitting on the couch waiting for his food to be prepared by our young Junior Trainer.

This was all before 730am and the trouble is just beginning!

People tell us all the time that they want a dog like him. - until they see the utter chaos that is Kairo. And we do our best to highlight both sides of him because we want people to see. It's not all sunshine, roses and a vested working dog.

It's also owning a dog who will happily cause chaos because it's fun, running amok dragging toys and blankets all over the place, while screaming bloody murder because it's playtime.

Until it's time to work, and he decides that, on his own, based on what he detects.

You don't want a dog like Kairo.

You want the best parts of him, and that's not entirely who he is. - and it's because of this, that we have a VERY short list of people we trust to look after him in the event it's needed.

Most couldn't handle him. And that's OK.

Atticus enjoyed his birthday celebration!

This year, we decided to do something different, we let him choose exactly where he wanted to eat as a family and decided to go to his favorite restaurant- Boston Pizza!

We then had cake and presents, and then he wanted to play video games with his Dad 🥰

We want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes 😍

Our boy Lucky is back! We met Lucky a little over a month ago and have been helping this young pup learn to navigate all the fun things this world has to offer.

We met with Lucky and his owners at a pet friendly store and let him sniff and explore all the new smells. We also guided him through some tough interactions with other dogs in the store. Lucky can be a bit excited around other dogs and children but we showed his owners how to handle these situations and help Lucky keep his focus on them.

His owners have done an amazing job so far and with a bit more practice we know Lucky will be the most well behaved boy in any environment. He is a lovely boy with a very happy and sweet demeanour. We can’t wait to see him again!

Happy 8th Birthday to our Junior Trainer Atticus!

We want to take a moment to wish Atticus a very happy birthday and show our appreciation for a very special boy who inspired us to start Kairo’s K9s Training.

Many of you who have had the pleasure of meeting Atticus know he is a wealth of knowledge, he is very kind and thoughtful and always wants to help. He loves sharing training tips and tricks and is always willing to lend a hand.

Your boundless enthusiasm and passion are a true blessing to our team, and we are so proud to see the young man you have become!

Cody and Buddy sure enjoy their walks with our Director of Operations Ashley!

They suit up and wait in anticipation for their adventures together, sporting matching coats, and the cutest little boots!

Yesterday, I was able to join them and walked Buddy for her as she enjoyed a nice relaxing stroll with Cody!

Ashley has a set protocol she follows when she walks each client, ensuring she meets their individual needs while also working on basic training such as leash training, light reactivity work and basic manners!

I'm so proud of this team, and I'm proud of Ashley for continuing to show the dedication and care that Kairo's K9s Training is known for!

Marley SLAYED Home Depot (Clarence) and enjoyed a pet friendly social outing with her trainer !

Young Marley made some new friends, practiced her downstays, heelwork, and focus commands as she worked alongside Service Dog Kairo CGN and was the STAR of the evening!

Marley is loving coming out and working with us and is learning to be neutral, relaxed, and given a job to do as she navigates another store she has never been in before.

Her relationship with her trainer Christopher shines bright as she learns that people have more value than things, and she socialized with some friendly strangers, too!

Her owners dedication and hard work showed in spades, as Marley showed huge improvements in her obedience!

Marley is a TON of fun to work with and is developing into a kind, loving soul who wants nothing more than some love ❤️

Ashley has really picked up her photography game in sessions with us at Kairo's K9s Training, and I wanted to share some of my personal favorites she has shot of our clients the past few weeks.

It's because of Ashley behind the camera that we have all these great shots for social media, and we are so lucky to have her on our team!

Seeing Christopher back on his feet, doing what he loves after a stressful few days with his medical conditions - feels like a victory lap.

Anyone who knows him well understands it's very difficult to keep him away from his work, and he will push himself far beyond what he should - just to stay active, engaged, and busy.

This time. He is slowing down. Listening to his body, and above all else. Kairo.

Due to this, we are blocking some additional time this week for him to rest and recover so he can get a handle on this and provide the service you know and love.

We appreciate everyone's patience as we navigate these changes, and we are looking out for Christopher every day.

At Kairo's K9s Training, we encourage people to research anyone and any organization you hire to train, groom, or look after your animals in any capacity.

There are MANY great companies in Saskatchewan with fantastic and reputable people who would go above and beyond for you.

It's important to do your research and find the companies that best align with you, your values, and the proper credibility, education, and insurance, with the proper licensing, both federally and provincially, to conduct business in a legal and reputable fashion.

It's important that people understand dog training, dog walking, -ect, are NOT regulated, almost anyone can open a business, sell their services, and operate on the same playing field as those of us who have taken the time to operate legally.

Be mindful. Do your homework, and be critical of the businesses you hire to do ANY work for you and your pets.

Be safe out there, and remember, it's okay to shop around and find the business that's right for you.

We had an amazing time at the Saskatoon Pet Expo and met lots of amazing people.

For Kairo, the best moment was getting to see the lovely Lori who saved his life when he was a pup.

Lori rescued Kairo and raised him and his entire litter from day one, and it's because of her that we and many others have amazing dogs that stand by our side every single day.

Needless to say, when Kairo saw Lori, he lost his everloving mind and had to greet her like the excited and happy pup that she knows and loves.

Thanks to Lori's selfless act, Kairo and his siblings were given a second chance at life and were able to live, grow, and succeed in their own ways. - and as you can see, Kairo loves her and has a special relationship with her ❤️

Lori owns Kairo's big brother Dozer, so she knows EXACTLY what she's in for when these boys show their love.

Thank you, Lori, for saving them. I can never repay you for what you have done for me and my family.

Thanks for making my boys entire week 😍

Hey everyone,

I'm up and about and trying to get back to regularly scheduled programming, but I definitely feel a little worse for wear.

I've been sleeping a lot the past two days, experienced multiple episodes of existing symptoms, and some new ones also.

It's been a scary experience for my family as we adjust to the changes in my medical conditions, and I want to thank Ashley for being a total allstar in handling buisness matters in my absence as I rest and recharge.

Ashley has been and continues to be an absolute powerhouse, managing the business while looking out for me, never complaining or missing a beat as she adapts flawlessly to the changes occurring in our home every single day.

It's important to note how difficult it is for her to deal with the changes in my health, and how a single alert from Kairo can change her entire day, on the fly - and not only does she handle the changes immediately, but she does so with patience, grace and the willingness to help whenever she can.

The stress and additional pressure this puts on someone is absolutely immense. And it's important we acknowledge Ashley and her HUGE commitment to me, the business, and the community

I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her by my side, and while Kairo is here to help manage and mitigate my disability, it's Ashley who continues to step up time and time again to ensure my medical issues don't affect anything in the long haul.

Thank you, Ashley, for your consistency and grace behind the scenes for keeping our little ship afloat as we navigate the medical system.

Kairo's K9s Training wouldn't be where we are today without you - and above that, neither would Atticus and I.

Thank you. For everything

Once you have faced your own mortality and accepted it, the weight of the world gets significantly lighter. Someday, I will face it head on, but I am not afraid, because I know, above all else, I stood for what is right in my personal life, and in the industry I love. nobody knows how much time they have left on the clock, and that's okay. because I rise each day grateful for the sunrise.

My son's handling of Kairo is absolutely impeccable 👌 Not only is he 💯 on task while handling him, he's capable of doing so while I am helping another client in the area with reactive behavior. in this clip, Atticus and Kairo are doing demo work as I work the client across the street #dogcommunity #juniortraineratticus #juniorhandler #KairosK9s #buildingbetterbonds #singledadstrong

Many people have asked to see Kairo's crackhead side... and well.. this is like 50% of it. When he plays with Mom...

Junior Trainer Atticus has been heavily involved in Service Dog Kairo's training since the beginning, and now, his relationship with Kairo shines a beacon for responsible dog ownership that has changed lives across the globe. #kidsanddogs #singledadstrong #dogtraining #ResponsibleDogOwnership #ServiceDogKairo #dogcommunity #KairosK9s #buildingbetterbonds

As trainers, we are committed to continuing our education, both in the field and in the classroom. We understand the depth of the knowledge we DON'T have, as well as the knowledge we do. We will NEVER claim to know everything, nor will we EVER make guarantees. Quite the opposite. - we offer risk free assesments and if we feel we aren’t the right professionals for the job. We won't charge you, and we will refer you to a professional who CAN. Choose your professionals wisely and always research who you hire for your dog.

Today, Kairo and I helped our client Eeyore with some socialization, and desensitization as she is a very young pup ! #dogtraining #privatetraining #PetTraining #yxesmallbusiness #KairosK9s #buildingbetterbonds

Canada has to do better to protect the public and legitimate teams from the epidemic of fake dogs in public spaces where they don't belong. We at Kairo's K9s are proud to be at the forefront, pushing for additional regulations and protections for everyone. #servicedoglaw #servicedogtraining #publicaccesstests #KairosK9s #dogtraining #buildingbetterbonds

It's time to start looking at #dogtraining in a different way. We aren't here to teach your dog. We are here to teach YOU. and a good trainer shouldn't struggle to do that, or resort to questionable methods to get there. #dogcommunity #reactivitytraining #trainthestudent #lovethedogyouhave #KairosK9s #Buildingbetterbonds

Kairo is happy to see me after my morning away from him! We gave Kairo the morning off work, and this is his reaction after seeing me for the first time in 7 hours!
