Meet our new boarding friend Zeus!

Zeus is a very sweet young Doberman who needs a safe place to crash every now and then while his parents are at work. This handsome man stayed with us the other weekend and was GREAT, we can’t wait to get to know him better during his future stays.

Darcy enrolled with NBK9 just over a week ago for our Obedience Start Up Program!

Darcy will be working on fine tuning her obedience, getting rid of some nuisance barking, and of course leash skills. Darcy’s family would love for her to gain off leash freedom so that they can all enjoy our beautiful Alaskan trails to their fullest extent so we will be building up the best foundation that we can over the next 3 months! Lastly, we will be working on some cooperative care skills so that her nails can be easily maintained at home.

Although we do work with A LOT of big dogs, we do LOVE when we gain new small friends💕 We can’t wait to see how far Darcy and her family go with clear communication and strong foundations!

⚠️ Training Opportunity ⚠️

I had several people show interest in testing for the CGC but wanted to have a practice day before the test! I plan on running this like a mock test so you know exactly what you need to work on. I will be available to give some advice and tips.
You do not need to be a current client

Due to recent temperatures I decided to have this at my house in my yard in Chugiak. That way we have some shade if we need it and we won’t have to worry about unnecessary distractions.
Time will be at 4:30 tomorrow 6/25. If you need to be a little late just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
Cost $15

If you plan to attend please send me a pm and I’ll send my address with instructions on where to park!

Since this is practice please be sure to bring treats!

Paxson got to try out FastCat for the first time yesterday!

We had a great busy day with a group of good people and some very nice weather. It definitely wasn’t the best that we can do yet was FAR from the worst. Anyone that knows Paxson likely knows all about our journey together and how he has earned his nickname of “Demon Spawn”. Although we have plenty of valid reasons to not ever try sports, I refuse to let that stop us. It’s taken a LOT of time, support, literal pain, and PLENTY of emotional pain, yet here we are. This summer will be OUR summer so keep an eye out for us at more events!

Thank you soooo much to everyone that has been there over the years to support me in anyway with Paxson. Forever thankful for people like who are always there whether it’s to listen, talk through things, catch my tank of a dog, or anything really. We couldn’t do it without you all💙

We LOVE this poster and the sentiment that most dogs are “somewhere in between” loving all dogs and being dog aggressive.

When I was doing in-home behavior consulting I received a LOT of calls from people wanting me to help them get their dog to like some other dog, frequently, a single dog at the dog park that their dog just didn’t want to hang out with. Rather than taking their $100+ for a behavior consult and sessions I explained that their best bet would be to just not go to the dog park on Sundays at 11 when this one dog would be there. Some adults just don’t jive. Some children don’t play well together. And, you guessed it, some dogs just don’t like certain individuals or types of dogs. This is NORMAL.

Thanks Every Dog Behavior Training for this great poster.

A great read for everyone, especially those with anxious dogs

- The power of "no" -

What is the power of "no"? It is the most important yet often overlooked or misunderstood aspect of anxiety rehab.

It is the difference between an anxious dog who will respect - and hence trust - you or merely looking at you as a "buddy".

The power of "no" is what makes an anxious dog think before he acts. It is what will make him put you in the centre of his decision making process even when he is surrounded by threatening triggers.

An anxious dog is not anxious because he is in lack of love. No, he has had lots of love. Sleeping in bed, getting tummy rubs, lots of soft human talks, lots of toys and snacks...

But what an anxious dog really craves yet is not getting, is someone who can show him clearly how to navigate this world with a peaceful mind.

He won't listen to just anyone because he is very anxious. It takes a lot for him to trust anyone. It takes a lot for him to say, "okay, l will leave my safety in your hand. Please just tell me what to do and l will do it without question."

It is hard because an anxious dog, by definition, is usually very doubtful and tends to worry about everything.

Can l trust this person to keep me safe? Does this person really have control of the situation?

He will only trust someone whom he considers as being strong and powerful, which is not about how big or loud that person is - but whether this person has the power of "no".

When this person says "no", is it believable?

When this person does not approve of a behaviour, can this person actually stop the dog from doing it promptly? When this person asks the dog to do something but the dog objects, can this person follow through effectively? When someone unexpectedly gets too close, can this person tell the offending party "no" and stop it?

The power of "no" is the golden ticket to being connected to your anxious dog on a very intimate level even when the dog is surrounded by lots of scary triggers. It is the key to being included in the anxious dog's inner circle so instead of acting like an injured animal fighting for his survival all alone, the dog will lean on you for direction and protection and trust you to handle the situation for him.

Those who are against aversive will not understand this. They will often struggle with anxiety rehabilitation, and keep struggling for many years. They need to use lots of managements to avoid facing the situation because they do not know how to solve the puzzle properly.

But those of us who have seen the power of "no" know that a very tense and anxious dog will become much softer and relaxed; a very "suspicious" dog will become a lot more trusting.

With the power of "no", they will become convinced that their human is a powerful being with control of them and their surroundings, as a result of this new perception and hence a much more healthy relationship between the dog and the human, a new world will open up for them!

With anxiety rehab, it will often looks messy before it gets better. You need to be prepared.

Don't be afraid of saying "no"; instead, learn how to say it properly.

A "no" can be verbal or non verbal; but either way, it should be able to stop the behavior or at least make it happen much less frequently.

If you keep having to repeat yourself, you don't have the power of "no" and you should learn how to do it properly.

It is important because it is how you can earn the trust and respect of your anxious dog so your dog can finally step out of his shell and enjoy life to its fullness.

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you.
