🎖️ Remembrance Day 🇨🇦

Today, we pause to honor the courage, loyalty, and sacrifice of those who served — both human and K9.

From the handlers who stood side by side with their partners, to the military dogs who worked tirelessly in protection, detection, and search — your service will never be forgotten. 🐾❤️

Lest we forget.

Meet Jojo, our high-energy Lab/Shepherd mix enrolled in the Foundational Manners Program! When she first started, Jojo was full of enthusiasm (and a few challenges) — jumping, hu***ng, demand barking, and counter surfing were her go-to moves.

With structure, consistency, and clear communication, Jojo’s learning how to channel that energy into patience and manners. She’s now joining pack hikes and working towards off-leash control like a pro.

We love seeing this girl’s progress — from chaotic to composed! 💪

🐾 MOST COMMON MISTAKES: SOCIALIZING 🐾

Socializing your dog isn’t just about exposure — it’s about how you guide those experiences.
From freezing up to missing early cues, these are some of the most common mistakes we see when owners introduce their dogs to others:

1️⃣ Freezing instead of staying calm and moving.
2️⃣ Not advocating for your dog’s space.
3️⃣ Skipping foundational obedience skills.
4️⃣ Ignoring the 3-second rule.

Socialization should build confidence, not chaos. With the right structure and guidance, your dog can learn to stay calm, respectful, and social in any environment.

✨ Training Update: Rookie ✨

Rookie’s been making huge strides in his Impulse Control & confidence through our Training Outing Program! He’s testing boundaries (as he becomes less fearful of the world), and his off leash progress has been incredible to watch.

It’s a great reminder that reactivity, anxiety, and impulse control take time — but with structure, clarity, and consistency, real change happens. 🐾

We’re so proud of this progress! 💪

🎃👻 Happy Howl-o-ween from Focus K9! 👻🎃

Whether your dog is the ghost, the goblin, or the treat-seeker, remember — a calm state of mind is the best costume they can wear.

This spooky season, keep training fun and safe:
🦴 Practice calm door manners before trick-or-treaters arrive (key word before)
🦴 Skip the candy — reward with kibble or high-value treats when your dog settles or doesn't bark
🦴 Let costumes and decorations be great distraction practice!
🦴 Keep your dog in their crate or a seperate room (or both) with some white noise and stuffed kong, if your dog is sensitive to loud noises (like fireworks)

Stay safe, have fun, and don’t let the goblins (or squirrels) break your focus.

Struggling with a Reactive Dog?

Does your dog bark, lunge, or pull when they see other dogs or people? You’re not alone — leash reactivity is one of the most common challenges we help owners work through, and it can feel frustrating or even embarrassing. We get it.

At Focus K9, we offer flexible and affordable reactivity training designed to transform chaos into calm — helping you and your dog build confidence, trust, and control on every walk for a more social dog.

✨ Available in both Private Training and Group Class options.
✨ Any age. Any breed. Any temperament
