Anyone that knows airedales understands that he fits this stereotype to the end! 🐾🖤

With that being said, he’s gonna work on some manner refreshers while his dad and mom are at the hospital! 😎 stay tuned for more Mr. Alfie!

Thankfully Hickman Police Department asked us to host a presentation for their city council and demo some apprehension work to show how we can utilize k9’s as tools in their department.

Indi-cate was a great example of how super social these breeds can be and how spastic they can be!

Hutch, Apollo, and chimichanga best exemplified intensity while in an armed intruder scenario.

Apollo completed a he**in search in a crowded room filled with contaminants.

I’m so proud to share this journey with all 3 of us on board.

Lillian’s extreme dedication to learning the art of decoying has proven to be a timeless skill for her.

We dedicate our time to ensure handlers and departments have the support they lack so largely in around the country. 🖤🚔🐾

VRK9’s Wick, living his best life. He is a one of our first litters produced.

The prong collar and the remote collar are great tools to communicate with your dog. They both get a bad rep usually by people that have never used them or have used them incorrectly.

Remote collar: Unlike popular belief, it is a muscle stimulator, not a shock collar. It is used at low levels to communicate with your dog. It provides clear communication, a way to hold your dog accountable, and a way to communicate at a greater distance.

Prong collar: When used properly, it is a great way to communicate with your dog. Although it looks barbaric, it is one of the safest collars made and is made to apply even pressure around the neck. It's like having power steering on your leash.

As we move into slight warmer times of winter when puddles form from melting ice and frost, keep in mind how dangerous they can be to our pets!

This striped guy went home this morning! He is the literal cutest (not just because he’s a VRK9 dog). I’m sooo looking forward to getting this guy back into VRK9 to work some protection with him eventually 💙

09/12/2022

Blue and Olive went to Lowe’s for some environmental training and socializing. While socializing usually means saying hello to everyone, in our mind; don’t forget that socializing goes hand in hand with ADVOCATING for your dogs safety. 😁

06/12/2022

Meet Blue from our Apollo X chimichanga litter. Is he not THE most gorgeous striped boy!? through Blue being welcomed into his new family; we have been reminded how pertinent it is, to place dogs accordingly. This guy is loved for his drive, determination, and workability! 💙

Our sweet ghost went home after completing an intensive three weeks of tightening up his OB before he goes into helping aid his handler’s disability’s.

Ghost will be working closely with VRK9 in the future to gain public access and learn tasks to aid in everyday life ❤️

⚠️ Some people dismiss isometric work, but check out that muscle engagement on Cooper!!!🦵🦵

🥳 Cooper is recovering from some fairly significant underlying issues. Both orthopedic and neurologic. But Kristie Burnett has been working hard in the training room to properly prepare Cooper to live his best life and be prepared for his sport!!

💪 Isometric exercises have been a big part of Cooper's return to wellness. They allow us to target specific muscle groups while managing arousal and ensuring proper alignment. Without good alignment, the intended muscles don't get a chance to work... And the muscle imbalance actually becomes MORE pronounced 😬😬😬

🏁 In this way, we can simulate sport demands in the training room with exercises that mimic the demands needed in sports and work. And ensure we're not asking too much when coming back from an injury... So we can build up slowly.

🤕 This method can also lessen the risk of injury in our sport and working dogs as well!!

➡️ Isolated before integrated.
➡️ Static before dynamic.
➡️ Stable before unstable.

Check out the Manual Leg Lift: Intermediate FREE on my website to see how we would train these muscles! (Link in the comments)
