came out with us for some socialization, light training work, and exposure in a pet friendly store!

This little spitfire showed her confidence and stability while working alongside our team and Service Dog Kairo!

Working on the basics of heelwork, sit, and down, we focused primarily on handler focus, exposure, and showing young Jalapeño the world.

The entire family was on board as children and parents alike helped Jalapeño have a good, positive association with new sights, smells, and surfaces so we can continue to set her up for success.

This playful pup was overjoyed to be out and about, doing new things, and didn't miss a beat as she confidently strolled through the store, doing some light practice.

We love this team and can't wait to continue her training!

Meet SDIT Azlan!

Azlan is a very young pup who is working with us to see if he has the potential for service work in the long term.

As Azlan is VERY young, we are still putting him through basic obedience and working our way up to the big leagues by building expectations, boundaries, and public manners in controlled (pet friendly) settings.

Yesterday, Service Dog Kairo CGN put Azlan to the test by applying pressure and distraction in a pet friendly store while Azlan’s handler put him through the paces, challenged his obedience, heelwork, and handler focus.

We are excited to work with this team to help see if the potential is there in the long term!

Service Dog Kairo CGN is sporting a brand new custom cape made by Tasking Through Life !

Custom made to my specifications, this high-quality cape is multifunctional, capable of acting as a vest on its own, or attaching to his existing harness, giving us multiple options for daily use, dependent on my needs for the day!

Sporting dual pockets and a lightweight design for maximum comfort. It's safe to say Kairo approves of his new equipment.

Thank you to the Tasking Through Life team for making such amazing gear and providing great service throughout the process.

Meet Our Founder: Christopher Froess

At the heart of Kairo’s K9s Training is a man whose journey into dog training was as personal as it was professional. Christopher Froess, the owner and head trainer, is a dedicated Service Dog handler, a passionate advocate for ethical training, and a devoted single father.

Christopher’s partnership with his owner-trained Service Dog, Kairo CGN, is a testament to his dedication and resilience.

Diagnosed with chronic migraines, seizures, blood pressure disorders, and ongoing digestive issues, he was prescribed a Service Dog six years ago. Christopher took it upon himself to train Kairo from the ground up—task training him, socializing him, and preparing him to confidently work in public spaces.

What started as a personal journey turned into a professional calling. Christopher launched Kairo’s K9s as a blog four years ago, documenting Kairo’s journey and educating the public on effective, humane dog training methods. His deep passion for helping others led him to officially open Kairo’s K9s Training in 2024, and in a short time, he has already helped hundreds of dog owners strengthen their relationships with their dogs through positive reinforcement and compassionate training techniques.

A Commitment to Ethical Training

Christopher believes that dog training is a lifelong learning process—not just for the dogs, but for the trainers too. He has pledged to remain a student throughout his career, continuously expanding his knowledge to offer the best possible training for both dogs and their handlers. His approach is kind, science-based, and focused on the individual needs of each dog, ensuring that training is both effective and enjoyable.

Despite his success, Christopher struggles with imposter syndrome—a reflection of his deep commitment to always learning, growing, and striving to be better. His humility, compassion, and drive to improve set him apart in the industry.

When he’s not training dogs, Christopher is a dedicated single father, balancing his business with the joys and challenges of parenting. He knows firsthand the demands of a busy life, which is why he’s so passionate about making training accessible, achievable, and rewarding for every dog owner he works with.

A Message from Christopher:

"I never imagined that my personal need for a Service Dog would lead me here. What started as training one dog to help me navigate life has turned into something so much bigger. I’m honored to be a part of so many training journeys, helping people and their dogs build stronger, better relationships. Every day, I learn something new from the dogs and handlers I work with, and I wouldn’t have it any other way."

We are so grateful to have Christopher leading the way at Kairo’s K9s Training! His dedication, knowledge, and heart are what make this business so special.

👉 Join us on this journey! Christopher and the team at Kairo’s K9s Training are here to help you build the best possible bond with your dog.

came and kicked it with us in the studio yesterday!

After celebrating her first birthday this week, this amazing team wanted to come, hang out, and work on the fundamentals for the CGN or Canine Good Neighbor title, and they did absolutely amazing!

As Ruby has just turned one, she is just now eligible to take the test if they wanted to!

We have been working with this team since the beginning, helping them form good foundations while keeping their relationship at the forefront of everything we do, and this amazing family has been hard at work practing, and forming healthy habits as a team!

Ruby is incredibly smart, gorgeous, and a ton of fun to work with, as her bubbly personality shines through in everything she does.

And with amazingly committed and kind owners, we believe they can accomplish anything they set their mind to!

Their hard work shines bright as they go through a "mock" test with us so they can see and understand what the CGN exam looks like And see where they still need to improve.

We are so proud of this team and all they have accomplished!

I often compare dog training to the relationship we have with our employer at work.

I look at the dogs I own as my employees, and as their manager, there are certain things I need to do to ensure they succeed.

1. Pay them well for the job they do. By being rewarding and motivating, I ensure they enjoy the work, and it's worth their time to do it.

2. Provide clear and fair directions. If I don't properly communicate the expectations and ensure my team understands, I'm not setting them up to win.

3. Give them agency and freedom to perform the tasks their own way. If I'm micromanaging the steps they take to complete the task or focused on 100% perfection. I miss the opportunity to reward good work or to acknowledge the attempt to do what I asked.

4. If they do something wrong, instead of being overly disciplinary, I help guide them to make the correct choice in the future by showing them the expectation through practice and more reinforcement.

5. I PRIORITIZE my dogs health, emotional well-being, and mental health, and put thier needs before the job at hand.

Many people have never worked for a fair, ethical, and responsible employer, so this analogy may not make sense right away. However. If you look at it from the perspective of how YOU would want to learn a new job.

It all starts to fall into place.

A good employer provides training, the opportunity to learn, clear direction, fair compensation, and the agency to do the work without using fear or pain or a power imbalance to force a team member to comply.

Your boss doesn't (or shouldn't be) hitting you or using force of any kind to get you to act a certain way. So why would we do the same to our dogs?

Service Dog Kairo is my employee, however. It's much deeper than that.

I acknowledge that without my employee, I can not do the job I need to do or live my life reliably without his WILLING assistance.

So, I compensate him well and ensure his mental, physical, and emotional well-being are top priority at all times during his employment.

Because if I'm a poor employer, he won't work for me. Or preform the job he needs to at the level required for this level of work.

Service Dogs have an incredibly difficult, demanding, and challenging job. It's so difficult that over 50% of the dogs that enter this field are unsuccessful.

That's why, I will always pay my dog for a job well-done.

Gilbert is back for some more one on one time with the Kairo's K9s Training Team!

Gilbert is a sassy boy who is struggling with crate training and can be a little challenging to motivate as he is pretty selective to what he finds valuable!

After some trial and error and finding some treats he considered worth his time, Head Trainer Christopher started playing some crate games with Gilbert and made the process fun, low stress, and enjoyable!

After some repetitions, Gilbert willingly went in his crate on his own, kicked back and relaxed, and had a small snooze as we discussed the differences in reward value, frequency, and marking the behavior appropriately.

Crate training is a VALUABLE skill for any dog that will serve them well throughout their entire lives.

Keeping them safe, away from dangers, and giving them a quiet, safe space to retreat to in times of stress, or when they just want to be alone!

Sometimes, we have to change our methods slightly to work with the dog in front of us and that's 100% okay!

If your struggling with teaching your dog something new, mix it up a bit and make it a fun game for different results.

Well done, Gilbert. We are so proud of you!

Oh Reni! How far you have come!!!

When I first met Reni, she hated men, was very nervous around other dogs, kids, loud noises, and struggled to crate, and to be alone!

With a little help from us, a training plan formulated just for her, and an amazingly dedicated owner who put her needs first and foremost and a lot of hard work.

Reni has undergone a complete transformation.

With clarity, love and understanding, Reni has improved dramatically. Honestly. It's like she is a completely different dog with confidence, sass, and a healthy relationship and drive.

Why are we celebrating today?

Reni came with us to a pet friendly store, and started working towards her CGN basics, and absolutely nailed the assignment.

Working in close proximity to Service Dog Kairo, Junior Trainer Atticus, and the general public. Reni demonstrated her fantastic personality, obedience and a willingness to engage with her owner we could have only dreamed of day 1.

is an absolutely amazing example of what is possible with hard work, patience, and dedication and we are SO PROUD of all she has accomplished so far.

We all shared some tears of joy for this girl as she showed exactly what she can do

It's January 14 - 2025, and we are starting the year off strong with pets in NON-PET Friendly places!

Service Dog Kairo CGN and I were at Market Mall and we stopped for a bite to eat in the Food Court after running all our errands for the day.

We ordered our food, and on the way to our table, a small dog started frantically barking at Kairo from inside a baby stroller.

No leash, no collar, just a small dog in a stroller, losing its ever loving mind at my working dog, who is calmly walking beside me as we get seated.

Tucked Kairo under the table, blocked him with my feet, snapped a few photos just in case this got ugly, and phoned security.

Within 10 minutes, Security arrived and escorted the pet and the lady with it, out of the building.

Naturally, the husband who was with her was adamantly upset and pointed at me and Kairo as if to say we don't belong here either.

Security explains that Kairo is a task trained Service Dog and isn't causing any disturbance, and he came over to talk to me.

I calmly explained to the security officers the below.

Any dog / handler should be asked

1. Is this a Service Animal?
2. What task is it trained to perform?

I then explained that emotional support is not a task and directed them to read Saskatchewan occupational health and safety laws, as well as the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code.

I then passed them a buisness card and finished my meal, as Service Dog Kairo quietly stayed beneath the table and continued working as if nothing had happened.

Remember. Service dogs like Kairo are highly trained medical equipment that go through years of indepth, intense training to have public access rights.

It's irresponsible and dangerous to take a dog into a non-pet friendly space. And against the law.

An untrained dog in public spaces can end a Service Dogs career and leave its handler with no ability to function. - let alone the dangers it poses to the public.

Be responsible. Leave your pets at home.

Kairo and I have a series of meetings this morning, and then we are spending the day training together as a team.

We have much to do before our appointments this evening, and while today feels like a time crunch, it's important that I focus, get this business stuff accomplished, so I can get back to doing what I love.

Helping dog owners build better bonds and learn to appreciate the dogs they share their life with.

Advocacy and talking about the realities of being a handler wasn't ever my intention, or something I ever thought I would be a part of.

Truthfully, I never thought of myself as a "public figure" - or anyone of merit worth having a following, regardless of size.

But, as I got more comfortable with the daily realities of being a handler and witnessing powerful creators in the space speaking out about their daily life, and all that goes with it.

I felt empowered. Maybe. If I shared my story; it would make things easier for those who came after me.

I could help someone who isn't as comfortable talking about the realities that come with having a dog with you 24/7. And maybe. Just Maybe. I can help someone with the isolating feeling, the one that creeps into your deepest internal thoughts.

I began having significant health issues about 6 years ago, blood pressure problems, chronic migraines, phantom pain, issues with digestive tract, and the occasional dizzy spell..sometimes they would lead to a loss of consciousness, among other unpleasant side effects too embarrassing to mention.

After a lengthy process with the Canadian health care system, I was told that my condition would require a Service Animal and the chances I would ever operate without one, were virtually zero.

Devastated by the reality before me, clutching my prescription for a Service Dog. - i reached out to several organizations, looking for a quote.

Price ranged from 50 - 90k, and there was a 2-3 year wait list. And, there was no guarantee that they would have an animal that matched with me.

Okay. Well. I don't have the cash. So, what other options are there. Owner train? - the task seemed daunting. It was overwhelming, and I wasn't sure I had enough experience to train a dog to the level required. Especially back then.

I knew enough to be dangerous. But was it enough to pull this off?

Faced with few options, I began testing litters, performing temperment tests on as many litters as I could, and asking other professionals that I knew to keep thier eyes open.

No luck. Too nervous. Not stable enough, not enough drive. Nope. No. No thank you.

Enter Kairo's litter. A family friend had rescued a litter. And - if I came to check them out. I could have my choice of the litter.

Alright. One last hail Mary. Then if nothing comes of this. I'll sit back and save.

Enter this magnificent black as**at, spunky. Drivey. Stable. But just enough of a jerk to be persistent enough to do the work needed. Yes. He passed the temperment test. Yes. He can do the work. But more than that.

He WANTED to do it.

Your not perfect, you have some allergies, and your not exactly the best built dog out there. but. You will do.

I kept it close to my chest. I didn't outright reveal exactly what Kairo was being trained for. The failure rate is high, especially as an owner train. - I WAS shooting at 30% odds. Maybe. If that. And honestly. That assumes I did everything perfectly.

I didn't.

Kairo and I struggled. We had our issues. - we needed help with some things, and I asked people around me, and hired trainers too.

Kairo had way more in the tank than I initially realized. And because he wasn't feeling great due to allergies. I had a dog with more kick than I actually needed. More on this later.

I revealed what he was training for to one of them. They said - there's a small chance. But. - possible.

The more research I did, the more I realized. There isn't really a "standard" to hit. - there isn't a clear cut path for owner trains. Do this. Hit this goal. Then this. Then go.

Ok. So, I based my goals on standards from other provinces. And the ADA. And I wouldn't accept anything other then smashing those targets like they where child's play.

We worked. We trained. We cried. - we pushed until his alerts where solid, reliable. And stable. Then we worked some more.

Then we hit a milestone.

Kairo hit his first alert in a pet friendly store, preventing me from crashing to the floor unconscious.

He was tasking at home already, but this. This was the light I needed.

Then we set our sights on more. Bigger. Better things. Titles. Obedience. And then

Kairo's allergies slapped me in the face like a freight train. - I couldn't keep him healthy. He was losing hair all over the place, and wasn't doing so hot.

Back to the drawing board. Get him healthy. Try literally everything possible over a 4 month period. Train where and when we could without pushing too hard.

Ok. He's stable. Healthy. Solid.

Lets keep going. Smash CGN.
Nope. Not ready.

Get back on track because my mentors kicked my ass into next year when I told them about my problems.

Train more. Push. Keep going. Fix the stupid mistakes I was making as a handler. Stop underestimating the dog you have. And kick it up a gear.

Met with other handlers. They saw Kairos potential.

They let me train with them, helped me. Guided me. Put me on the track I needed.

Ok. Kairo CGN time.

Pass.

Oh thank God. - oh, that's the easy part? Got it.

Trained my ass off in every store I was allowed to. Got the clear to go to non pet friendly. Trained even more.

THEN - my professional career started. And my world changed forever.

The more I learned from my work as a professional. The more I realized the mistakes I made with Kairo. The more I recognized the changes I needed to make. For him.

When I say I made a million mistakes, - it's an understatement.

But because of the dog HE is, - he taught me and worked with me despite my stupidity. He alone carried the relationship. And inspired the slogan you see everywhere today.

Building Better Bonds

Because I had to learn to build the trust and relationship that Kairo was already giving me. And, because I was so focused on perfection, and tidy, obedience. He pulled the weight of everything all on his own.

I'm grateful for Kairo. Not just because of the work he does.

But because he taught me exactly what I wasn't.

I wasn't ready. And I needed to learn.

01/12/2025

As many Service Dog handlers will tell you, some stores are significantly more difficult to navigate and come with increased risk of interference due to the general public.

Costco is one of those stores.

I despise Costco due to the volume of people. Tight isles in some areas and high volume of foot and cart traffic.

Add in some uneducated people, who believe dogs like Kairo are there for their entertainment, and a short outing to restock on Kairo's training treats and misc items, becomes a training marathon that requires the highest degree of focus for Kairo.

Costco is also one of the most common places to encounter fakes and pets, as their own internal policies are about 10 years behind standard, so hearing a dog bark at us from a great distance away, isn't beyond the scope of the general experience in the store.

Despite this, Kairo performs at a very high level and isn't overly bothered by the distractions, nor does he seem to care when Fido screams at him from inside a cart. But. Kairo is also far more experienced now than, let's say, even a year ago.

I have had MANY discussions with local handlers about the state of Costco, and the responding truth rings clear.

Go in, have an exit strategy, and take a friend with you who can body block as needed. Get your stuff. And get out.

I've been feeling off since Thursday this week and have dealt with all sorts of symptoms, so unfortunately, when we need supplies, I need to go - despite how my current condition is.

Today, I was pleasantly surprised. We didn't run into any pets and were able to get through the store with only a minor BP alert.

Despite Kairo being at a high level, I still reward heavy in here, and I likely always will because the expectation is high, and so is the stress level. And no matter what, Kairo will be paid for his work.

To some handlers, they think I pay too often.

I will always say, I don't pay enough.

We are grateful for our friends Candace and Service Dog Bentley at Prairieland Service Dog Training !

Back before either of us had our own companies; we have been training together to help get Service Dog Kairo CGN up to standard!

Back when Kairo was much younger, Candace and Bentley would meet with us, and act as a distraction for Kairo and I to work around.

Working on Kairo's neutrality, tasks, and general obedience under high distraction, to help Kairo grow into the dog you see today.

Kairo and Bentley are amazing friends, who play together off duty and quite enjoy terrorizing eachother and causing havoc, but more than this.

Service Dog Bentley helped teach Kairo boundaries, and rules when it came to Dog to Dog Interactions especially on duty.

Nowadays, Kairo and Bentley work together on occasion when we team up to help clients and friends alike on their journey together as Candace has started her own Service Dog Training company right here in Saskatoon

Candace and her wealth of knowledge on working breeds, and her very own first hand experience as a Service Dog handler herself are absolutely paramount and highly recommended for any owner train handlers who want to elevate thier game.

We are forever grateful to Candace, Bentley, and the Prarieland Service Dog team for all their help, advice, and support as Kairo and I learned the ins and outs of daily handling as a Service Dog team.

As a Service Dog handler, I know firsthand the benefits the companionship of a dog can bring to the table.

As my Service Dog, Kairo is by my side, giving me advance warnings of oncoming medical issues and detecting the slightest changes before any hospital equipment can.

That doesn't downplay the role or joy that any other dog can bring to the family.

Dogs are complicated, a lot of work, and a massive responsibility, but when we fully accept them for who they are, what they where bred for and invest the time to mold our lives around them, they become a irreplaceable part of our families.

We entered the industry with a goal and a vision to help dog owners from all paths of life learn to build better relationships through proven scientific methods, and to show and educate what every aspect of dog ownership looks like.

And that's different for every single dog owner & every single dog we meet.

Yes, Kairo is a highly trained medical necessity for me, but - He is also a sentient being. Who is just as capable of causing chaos, driving us up the wall, and being a goofy playful idiotstick with the mental fortitude of pudding.

We intentionally show and teach both sides of the same coin. Because lately, social media has been showing people only the good, highly edited videos, where dogs perform perfectly 100% of the time. This leads to unhealthy expectations.. feelings of inadequacy and disappointment.

No dog behaves perfectly all the time.
People don't either. I'm certainly far from perfect.

So it's time we show the realities of dog ownership and to pull back the curtain so that people can see the reality. The good, bad, and ugly, and push egos out the door.

Stop trying to have a perfect "Ideal" dog.
Instead, practice, learn and grow with your dog, and accept them for who they are.

Because every single dog on the planet has different capabilities, just like people.

We all deserve to improve our relationship and our training and strive to be the best we can.. regardless of what kind of dog we own.

I'm not the most photogenic person on the planet, but sometimes, my wonderful spouse takes a photo of Kairo and I that I really like.

Seeing the relationship I have developed with Kairo through another person's eyes, is beautiful to me, and while I may not look my best sometimes, it's important that I capture and acknowledge these moments.

I know that many people take photographs of Kairo and I when we are out in public. I can hear the shutter click, as they capture photos of us going about our day.

And while I'm out in public spaces, I have no right or expectations of privacy. - it would be appreciated if people asked.

We have our own film crew here at Kairo's K9s Training, and it's taken me a long time to get used to being on camera, or even having my photo taken at all.
I have several hours of camera footage I haven't posted already, because I don't like the way I look.

Part of my goals for this year, was to be more open, vulnerable and to try new things with our social media.

I've never been overly comfortable in the "spotlight" so to speak, I'm happiest when I can go about my day and highlight the accomplishments of those around me.

But, I've been making a significant effort to be better.

Meet Kona!

came to us for an assessment to help with her stranger danger when new people come to the home, as well as some resource gaurding issues when she's approached with something she considers high value!

Not to worry, our team got right to work, establishing a new communication protocol, and explaining how to make Kona feel safe and comfortable when she is unsure, and helping her dedicated owners understand what goes through her mind when she is feeling scared.

Then we discussed how to use this new communication protocol to improve her existing skills, particularly recall! As it's this amazing teams goal to be able to be offleash reliable someday!

Welcome to the family, .

We are here to support you every step of the way!

One of my biggest regrets with Kairo is not taking nearly enough photos and videos of him as a pup.

There are many reasons for this, but the main ones are symptomatic of the type of dog that he is. As a high drive, crackhead puppy, it was difficult to capture photos of him flying all over the house, but More importantly, he required a lot of early management, training, and a great deal of supervision to ensure he didn't run off and destroy something. That's why most of my early photographs are him lying down after causing a great deal of carnage.

He was a power chewer, early on in life, he destroyed shoes, any toy that got within his grasp, and at one point in his training, we decided to test him unsupervised out of his crate, and he destroyed an ottoman quite happily.

When we got Kairo, we had our choice of the litter, I selected him for his temperment first and drive second. As I needed a dog that had the stability in his personality, but enough kick and willingness to work.

This means he was a difficult pup. Because all that motivation to work was channeled just as much into his urge for wanton destruction and chaos. He drove my spouse absolutely mental.

He also struggled with allergies, and for the first year or so of his life, we struggled to keep him healthy, so we hadn't even seen the full extent of his drive... yet.

Fast forward, after a year and a half of daily training, working him, task training him. And we decided to try our hand at our CGN (Canine Good Neighbor) test.

He decided to walk in the test, acting like he never had a single ounce of training in his life. And we were quickly given a "Not ready" grade.

I was devastated. There was a period of time I contacted my friend Sue Savage Westwell and said, I'm going to wash Kairo. He can't do the work. He failed. Ect.

She called me immediately. Told me to video call her, and show her my issues.

So I did. And you wanna know what she told me?

I wasn't rewarding him enough, or using his drive to his full potential.

The errors Kairo made, were my errors. Not his. I WASN'T doing enough for him as his handler. And he was making choices on his own because of my lack of direction.

She told me, "Don't you dare wash that dog, he has every possible skill you need, just practice more and try again."

So we did. We worked for another year. Went and tested again. But. This time was different..Kairo aced it.

Then, we kept going. Kept training. Partnered up with other SD handlers and trained some more.

And after 2 and half years of solid. Daily push.

Kairo was given the green light by someone i respected to work in non-pet friendly spaces.

Now, Kairo is well respected in the SD community. But he didn't just magically become this.

He earned it. We earned it. Through blood sweat and many tears.

And it's all because of the people in my life who encouraged me. Told me not to give up. Keep pushing.

And now, as a trainer, I have the amazing privilege to do the same for my clients. To be the voice that says.. keep going. Keep trying. Keep pushing.

I didn't magically wake up one day with the skills to do this work.

I learned. By working with countless difficult cases, from dogs like Kairo, who will happily flip the bird to anything that doesn't serve him

To dogs who couldn't care less what I have in my pockets.

And if I can take my idiotstick to the heights he achieved in his career. - you can reach your goals, too.

I made this video a year ago, as I struggled watching these highly edited, unrealistic depictions of what a Service Dog actually is. I pledged at that moment to show the REALITY of being a handler. Mistakes and all, and quickly realized, the mistakes that drove me mental, where my own expectations of perfection, and refusing to accept that Kairo's minor errors, like temporarily stepping out of position, where not really that big of a deal. I got so tired of people posting highly processed - 10 sec clips with 7 jump cuts. I realized the majority of the Service Dog Community wasn't genuine and showing the world what reality actually is. Yep. He makes mistakes. So do I. But at least I can stand by and say I have the integrity to show the reality of being a handler. And I don't need to edit 7 clips together to get content. #servicedogkairo #servicedogkairocgn #servicedoglife #savinglives #notarobot

I made this video a while ago, when I stepped into the industry, pledging to make a difference. I saw issues in the industry, things I wanted to change, stigmas that needed to be disassembled, and destroyed. I feel I'm well on my way to accomplishing my goal. I've met and worked with other professionals that share my vision. But more than that, we blazed a path forward, that others are starting to follow. Accountability and accessibility in the industry I love is beginning. And I'm here for it #dogtraining #dogcommunity #1on1training #saskatoondogs #beproudofyourself #KairosK9sTraining

My journey as a handler wasn't easy. after seeing the vitriol, hate and childish behavior in the dog community, I laid low, and hid what Kairo was being trained for - until I could confidently say he was up to the standards of my teachers, my mentors, but most importantly - could do the job he needed to do to keep me alive. During my education, I learned so many conflicting things, and really struggled with the myriad of information, both good, and bad - and had to figure out what worked best for me and Kairo. I worked for postive only trainers, balanced trainers, took lessons from both, then took even MORE classes, all the while struggling with the ethics of the community and fear of my own diagnosis. -I ended up leaving everything behind and training dogs the way I thought was best. with an ethical, goal oriented approach that kept Kairo's wellbeing, and my clients wellbeing first and foremost. And I'm still learning. every single day. but I'm certainly not going to be bound by some unwritten rules in a community that's happy to cannibalize itself for clout. I am me. and while I might not have all the answers. I'm okay with learning and growing until I do. #servicedogcommunity #dogcommunity #ServiceDogKairoCGN #KairosK9sTraining #Buildingbetterbonds

Many people underestimated us and told us we would fail. and now... We are helping other dog owners live their dreams. and Kairo is always watching over me while we do. #dogtrainer #KairosK9sTraining #Saskatoon #Servicedoglife #ServiceDogKairoCGN #dogtraining #dogcommunity #Buildingbetterbonds

Some people don't understand or respect my Service Dog, and that's just life, but it doesn't change what he's trained to do, and it certainly doesn't make my diagnosis disappear. Kairo is my lifeline and that doesn't change because your too ignorant to learn. #Servicedoglife #savinglives #ServiceDogKairoCGN #KairosK9sTraining #Buildingbetterbonds

We are continually blown away by our students commitment to the dogs they share thier lives with. Miss Clover used to really struggle in new places, was dog reactive and wasn't super interested in traditional obedience. We got to work, put in the time, and now Clover not only is much better behaved, but excells in Flyball alongside other dogs! #SaskatoonDogs #dogtraining #dogcommunity #PetTraining #KairosK9sTraining #Buildingbetterbonds

Distracting or interference with a Service Dog is a crime in MANY jurisdictions, and not only this, it's rude and disrespectful to interact with any dog you do not own. Always assume a dog owner wants to be left alone, and never approach or interact without permission. Remember. if you see a vest. get wrecked #servicedoglife #servicedog #SDKairoCGN #dogcommunity #SaskatoonDogs #dogtraining #Buildingbetterbonds

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.
