I always say "dogs don't need refreshers, people do!" 🤣 And I'll stand by that... BUT

We know dogs are the masters at renegotiating and consistency can be hard. Sometimes things unravel a little bit. So we are listening!

During the month of January and February, we will offer a brief refresher program for folks that want to brush up in a specific area with their dog. This will entail sending your dog to us for just a few days and then spending a few minutes with us when you pick them up to go home.

The cost is $350 and will give us the opportunity to reestablish the original rules with your pup and make sure you go home with a plan to keep it going. 😊

If your dog is a master negotiator, now is your chance to make a New Year's resolution to get it all back on track and let us help!

This is for dogs that have completed a program.

Spots open January 18-Feb 28

We are welcoming Auger, a 3 month old black lab to the Diamond K9 family.

He's with us for a week and a half to do the Puppy Scholar program. Here he will learn the basic commands sit, down, place, come, and begin learning to hold his commands (duration/stay). He will also learn how to respond to leash pressure and start rehearsing engaged leash walking through engagement exercises.

Check back for Auger updates! 😊

Hope everyone had been enjoying the holiday season!

With all the holiday madness I haven't been posting much, but we've had lots of wonderful boarders over the holidays and of course we've been working with Koda.

He really picks up on everything very quickly and has done great through all the holiday "stuff" happening and company and kids around etc.

Here is a clip of Koda working on the out command. This is an important one to instill that humans control resources since Koda has a history of guarding in certain situations.

He drags a leash here in case he needs any guidance. We've only done a handful of reps when this command and they were the day before.

We welcomed Koda to the Diamond K9 family the other day! He will be with us for the holidays.

Koda is a 1 year old lab. He's a big boy with a lot of zeal which translates to pulling in the leash, jumping up, being generally excitable, and not always wanting to come back when called.

Koda's owners have actually used an e-collar to get him to come back with some success but would like his recall to be more reliable so they didn't have to nag him when there are distractions around.

In addition to these "typical" issues, Koda had started to develop behaviors a bit more concerning and will resource guard high value items as well s toys and household objects that he steals.. There's speculation too that he gets possessive of space and even one of his owners. And he can get "touchy' sometimes if he isn't in the mood for affection.

The long and short of it seems to be that he's treating his owners as though they are dogs and they are all on the same plane... So we have work to do!

Check back for Koda updates!
