Crushing it during his weekly work!

This loyal and amazing girl is exhausted from helping with some sessions and getting a bath. Cambria is and has been the absolute best partner. I'm thankful everyday for having her in my life.

Every year for New Year's Eve keeps 4 spots for dogs to go out and have fun on the coast for a few days while being away from fireworks and chaos. Training, boundaries, LOTS of play time and walks!

This last NYE we were at Nehelam Bay State Park. Where should we go this year?

Meet Tank. Got to work with this handsome boy all day today. He's available for adoption at Kauai Humane Society. He now has Sit, Down, Up, Wait and a loose leash Heel. He is a super sweet boy and is eager to learn. Lots of energy but knows when to chill. He's great in the car and just needs some structure and boundaries.

In desperate need of some cooling off after the fair, we headed over to Tumalo State Park for some splash around time.

When you board with us your dogs are treated as family and come home happy instead of stressed and anxious.

Got to work these amazing pups around some serious stressors, distractions and stimuli at the Deschutes County Fair. Crowds, livestock, rides and all the noises! They absolutely crushed it and I'm so proud of them!

Do you have difficulty cutting your dogs nails?
Try putting your pup on a table or something high. This may help them be focused on themselves and it could make it easier to clip or grind the nails.

Learn about foxtail grass. It can be deadly to your pup.

08/11/2023

There are so many different tools to be used in training. If not used correctly they can be harmful to you dog.
Here is a great video Karen Laws made to educate on this topic.

Back out on the coast with Momma Bear getting her some MUCH deserved fun in the sand and water! I've learned so much from her and I continue to get schooled by her in unconditional love. I truly cherish these days and look forward to all the remaining!

It is too hot out for your pup?

Of course an early walk or late evening walk is nice during these hot days but did you know that 10-15 minutes of mental stimulation is equal to a 30 minute walk?

Here are some fun ideas for you to mentally stimulate your pup.

Give Your Dog a Puzzle Toy
Teach Your Dog New Tricks
Make an Obstacle Course for Your Dog
Play Hide and Seek
Play Nose Games with Them

Here at Left Coast K9 we love all of the breeds! From the working dog to the family pet, we want to help you understand your dog.

Stability
Does your dog hide during a thunderstorm? Howl and cry at the sound of fireworks or sirens? Maybe it has to have medications to go to the doctor or for cutting its nails.
Give us a call, let’s talk about working on your pups stability. Through training we can help your dog learn that these things are not so scary.

Left Coast K9 thanks you for your support! We really appreciate you helping us get the word out.

Got to work with my 3 favorites yesterday. Cambria, Thor and.... My talented, dedicated and amazing son Dade. He's out for a short stint so we can talk shop, get some things hammered out, EAT OUR WEIGHTS IN THE AMAZING FOOD PORTLAND HAS TO OFFER and start our dream!

I'm humbled and honored everyday to have such an amazing support system of the 2 and 4 legged varieties. I can't wait to see what the future brings for Dade and I on this adventure!

We can't wait to see all of you and your pups to help you achieve your goals! We take on any dog (no matter the issue) and specialize in working the most reactive/aggressive pups to a state of stability, trust and obedience. Our approach is compassionate, balanced and structured around you, your family and pup.

Luca and Gus putting in the work! Luca is LCK9's first Dalmatian and he's a goofy love bug that needs impulse control.

Gus is our most recent IB+T (Intensive Board and Train) who was a nightmare on leash and now is absolutely crushing it!

No bad days when you get to be surrounded by dogs and the people that love them.

Put in the work and you'll have the best companion, teammate and friend.

Got out to the coast on Dades last day here. Momma Bear lives for the beach and water. It's for sure her happy place and although I'm physically exhausted from a packed 4 days, my soul is refreshed.

Life is SO much better when you're not killing yourself to fill someone else's cup! Things are in transition and I couldn't be happier! Left Coast K9 and friends are wildly excited for these coming months and the future!

Say hello to Mr. Barklay. LCK9's most recent IB+T. He's absolutely crushing it and building a tremendous amount of confidence and discipline.

When you Board with LCK9 your pup gets full immersion into the unstable real world. They don't just sit in a kennel and come out for an hour or 2, they go everywhere with us. It's the most immersive program out there bridging the gap from a controlled training environment to everyday life from day 1!

They go on all sorts of adventures from the coast, camping, public parks, food cart pods and businesses. If you're looking for a pup that can go anywhere with you and have solid stability/manners then look no further!

What is your dog's purpose? Even military and LE dogs are team members. The reality is, there are very few things I care about my dog doing as long as they respect boundaries and can be told no.

Mine AND my dog's purpose is to bolster and enhance each other's lives. Yes I allow my dog on my couch. She's trained, stable and doesn't invite herself. She can be told "off" and "bed" and she goes.

How many movies did I watch while deployed with the team dog on the couch? ALL OF THEM! They are a member of the team! Anyone that tells you otherwise has never been down range with working dogs. Please explain to me how you're bolstering each other's lives when your dog only comes out of a box to work. That's putting them in a constant state of surviving not thriving.

Your dog is NOT a "tool", they are a living, breathing, emotional being. If you treat them as object, YOU don't deserve to be on their team.

All that being said, these rules and boundaries can be temporary as your furry friend learns, understand boundaries, builds stability, discipline and impulse control!
