I would like to personally take this opportunity to thank everyone who trusted me with their dog training needs over the last few years. It has truly been my pleasure to support you as you guide your dogs towards being great K9 citizens.

The relationship with a dog is about the purest you will find in life; Be Fair, Be Kind, Be Consistent - Always be their greatest advocate and keep guiding them so they can live their best lives. - The K9 Driven pages on IG and FB will close shortly and we will not be accepting new clients moving forward.

If any of my past clients wish to contact me I still have my other IG handle where you can message me if you need to reach me.

Otherwise I wish you all the very best. Thank you once again and farewell.

- Sincerely, K9 Neil G

Final lesson with Flynn. Grateful for the opportunity to be trusted with his training. I have no doubt he will be an awesome family dog.

I received this beautiful piece as a gift from client’s whose dog I trained. They bought it to support the local artisans when they visited the community. Thank you and .m1988 - I truly appreciate the gift.

It’s humbling to learn about a near extinct peoples; It offers perspective and encourages introspection about some of the more superficial issues we spend so much time debating.

I love learning about cultures and history so I looked up some information about the tribe that I thought I would share here:

🇨🇷The Maleku are an indigenous tribe living in Costa Rica in an area called ‘Maleku Indigenous Reserve of Guatuso’, a place located between the Arenal Volcano and the Nicaraguan border.

🇨🇷 The Maleku Indian Tribe is the smallest in Costa Rica with only 650 people left. They divide themselves into three different clans or communities: Palenque Margarita, El Sol, and Palenque Tonjibe.

🇨🇷 The Maleku speak Spanish as their first language but many of the elders also speak the Maleku language.
Reforestation is an important part of the Maleku culture and important to the Costa Rican people as well.

🇨🇷 The Maleku economy relies mostly on tourism and the sales of their very original art. They spend their days farming the land, painting wooden masks and jícara, or gourd bowls, performing for tourists in their traditional palm clothing, or plantin

🇨🇷 They remained undiscovered until 1750, with the arrival of Spanish settlers.

Saturday session with Max, Aaron and Pepe. Three weeks ago Pepe couldn’t be around other dogs without having major reactions. He is progressing nicely. Glad to have my former K9 student Luna and @louiemirabelli along to assist this weekend. #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #gsd #durhamregion

Remi learning to be neutral and focus on his human instead of other dogs in his vicinity. He did a wonderful job today and @sel_arp handled the situation well. 🥃 - #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #gsd #goldenretriever #durhamregion

Major life changes can be hard on your dogs, make sure you take the time to appreciate them when you get home. You have Ho vies, passions, work, friends etc…. They have you! So go ahead, this dog trainer says you should spoil them every now and again. #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #gsd #durhamregion

Story the Border Collie joined the GSD Crew (Sarge, Luna, and Cara) for a walk in the woods today. #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #gsd #bordercollie #durhamregion @anisha_das @rohan.m1988 @_emmashawxo @louiemirabelli

Love my Sunday morning masterminds meetings at Jacked Up Coffee in Whitby Lol. @_emmashawxo @louiemirabelli #k9driven #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtraining #dogtrainer #durhamregion

The end result. - At the end of our twelve week training cycle, this was the end result. Watch #bordercollie Story hold her position and then recall without a problem. Great work @anisha_das and @rohan.m1988 - #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Realistic exercises and environments make training sessions more meaningful. - #k9driven #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtraining #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Thought I would re-share this video because I’ve been asked about leash pressure several times in the last couple of weeks. #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #durhamregion #leashtraining #leashpressure

I love having Sarge out with me on the weekend while I train other dogs. His company in the car, his love for car snacks and his complete focus while we work is something I always appreciate and never take for granted. Greatest dog I’ve ever been lucky enough to have as a companion. - #k9driven #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtrainer #bestfriends #durhamregion

Today was Luna’s final session with #k9driven - She has come such a long way since we started when she was a puppy. - I have enjoyed getting to work with her and become friends with @louiemirabelli - I always enjoy his company and respect his commitment to his dogs. I thank you for including us on Luna’s training journey. #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Luna working to build duration into her downs and sits. Louie used the time on his first off leash walk to reinforce some basic skills. - @louiemirabelli @cindyandlouie - #k9driven #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Luna’s first off leash run in the woods. Sarge was a great guide! Kudos to Louie for staying calm and handling the day like a pro! Love seeing happy clients and enjoying their dogs. #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #gsd #durhamregion - @cindyandlouie

Leo is doing so well - His focus on his humans has improved greatly and it’s all thanks to the hard work and consistency they have put in as a family. Well done! @thelifeofleo21 @shian789 #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtraining #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Sarge has a permanent home on our teenager’s arm!! #k9driven #thatdogguy

Had a great day training with Cara and Luna despite the rain. We made the best of an empty park today. Love the commitment from @_emmashawxo and @cindyandlouie - #k9driven #gsd #dogtrainer #dogtrainingvideos #dogtraining #durhamregion

Recall exercise with distractions. - Rain does not interrupt #gsd training- Great work @_emmashawxo and @cindyandlouie - Excellent work Cara and Luna. - #k9driven #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Look at the progress Luna has made. - I am so happy for Louie and her, their bond has made this all possible. Excellent work by both of you. @cindyandlouie #k9driven #gsd #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #dogtraining #durhamregion

Shirley and Leo running the serpentine with ease. @thelifeofleo21 and @shian789 #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #durhamregion

Luna working her off leash skills today. The bond between her and Louie is just absolutely fantastic to witness. @cindyandlouie - #k9driven #thatdogguy #gsd #dogtrainer #durhamregion

All skills need to be proofed in a variety of environments, with a variety of distractions, to ensure consistency in training - @_emmashawxo #k9driven #thatdogguy #dogtrainer #gsd #durhamregion
