🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Global K9 Protection Services! 🍁

Today, we reflect on everything we’re grateful for, and the list is long!

🐾 First and foremost, we are thankful for the health, loyalty, and love of our incredible dogs. Whether they’re hard at work as protectors or bringing joy as beloved pets, their dedication inspires us daily.

✨We’re beyond grateful for YOU—our amazing clients who trust us to train and guide your canine companions. Your support allows us to do what we love, year after year.

🏡 To every family that has welcomed one of our protection dogs into their homes, thank you for giving them a purpose and a place to thrive.

📈 We’re thankful for the opportunity to educate, train, and connect with so many passionate dog lovers. Every session, every success story, and every wagging tail reminds us why we each started this journey.

🌟 And finally, we’re thankful for our incredible team who pour their hearts into every dog they work with. Together, we’re building stronger bonds between dogs and their people every single day.

We hope all of you guys enjoy this special day with your loved ones (two-legged and four-legged alike). From our family to yours—Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃❤️

Thanksgiving is officially only 2 days away. With that being said, I know a lot of people just forgo thanksgiving dinner for their dogs all together.
Why not let them join in on the feasting?!
Follow these lists of foods to allow them to enjoy all the things with your family while still keeping them safe.

‼️Fact or Myth: Training my dog in protection work will make them aggressive?

➡️MYTH. Protection training does not make dogs aggressive—it makes them disciplined.

✨Proper protection training is about building control, confidence, and a clear understanding of when and how to act. Trained protection dogs are calm, balanced, and loyal family members who know the difference between a real threat and everyday life.

✨Aggression often stems from fear or lack of training. With professional guidance, protection work actually reduces unnecessary aggression by giving your dog structure, and an outlet.

Understanding Your Dog’s Body Language 🐾

Dogs are constantly communicating with us, but their “language” is often misunderstood. Paying attention to their body language helps us build trust, respond to their needs, and prevent unwanted behavior. Let’s break it down:

✨ Signs of Stress:
• Lip licking (when food isn’t involved)
• Yawning (when not tired)
• Ears pinned back or to the side
• Whale eye (when you see the whites of their eyes)
• Tail tucked or body lowered
These subtle signs mean your dog might be overwhelmed, scared, or uncomfortable. This isn’t always a sign that you should stop what you’re doing, but it is a sign to let them win, and work through it.

🚩 Signs of Aggression:
• Stiff body posture
• Direct, hard stare
• Lips curled or teeth showing
• Growling or snapping
These signs indicate a dog is warning you they’re unhappy or feeling threatened. Respect their space!

🤲 Signs of Submission:
• Rolling over to show their belly
• Cowering with their tail tucked
• Avoiding eye contact
• Licking your face or hands
These signals often mean they’re trying to show they’re not a threat.

🐶 Positive Body Language:
• Wagging tail (relaxed, wide wags—not stiff or high)
• Loose, wiggly body movement
• Soft eyes and relaxed ears
• Play bows (front end lowered, back end up—it’s an invitation to have fun!)

The key is observing the whole picture. A wagging tail doesn’t always mean a happy dog, and a yawn could mean they’re anxious. Look at their posture, eyes, ears, and mouth together to better understand what they’re saying.

When we learn their language, we can respond better—and that’s how strong bonds of mutual respect and understanding are built.

⬇️Why Consistency is Key in Your Training⬇️

💥When it comes to training, consistency is everything. Imagine teaching your dog a behavior or command and practicing it daily—they start to get the hang of it, build confidence, and respond eagerly. But, skip a few days or even weeks, and you’re likely to see some of that progress begin to slip.
➡️Let’s dive a little deeper into what happens when training isn’t consistent and why steady practice is essential for long-term success.

➡️Missing a Few Days:
If you miss a few days of training, you may not notice immediate changes in your dog’s behavior. However, dogs thrive on structure, and when that structure is interrupted, it can create confusion and hesitation. They may start to test boundaries, revert to old behaviors, or show signs of frustration. (Reminds you of kids, right?) Think of it like any new skill—without regular practice, we start to lose confidence and become unsure of our abilities. The same goes for your dog! A few days off can lead to slight setbacks, but with prompt return to the routine, you can usually get back on track quickly.

➡️Missing a Few Weeks:
When consistency is lost for weeks, the effects are going to get much more noticeable. At this point, your dog may begin to forget commands, lose the discipline they’ve developed, or start acting out. Bad habits, like jumping, pulling on the leash, or ignoring basic commands can creep back in. In some cases, especially with younger or high drive dogs, this lack of routine can result in them becoming more hyperactive, anxious, or even destructive. The investment you’ve put into training can start to unravel, making it feel like you’re back to square one.

💥💥💥Dogs don’t generalize well; they rely on patterns and repetition to learn effectively. Every time you train, you’re reinforcing positive habits, teaching boundaries, and building their confidence. When you stick with a daily routine, your dog learns faster, responds better, and enjoys the process more, making training sessions something they look forward to rather than something they fear.

🫶🏼Stay Consistent, Put in the work, and Keep it fun! 🫶🏼

🚨 Closed for PSA WORLDS Nov 4th-11th 🚨

Let’s wish these three amazing women good luck at the 2024 PSA World’s Competition.
This year we have 3 trainers competing and showing in ALL THREE LEVELS.

💣 Alishia & Rogue - PSA 3
🎤 Courtney & BANG - PSA 2
🐐 Tori & Anya - PSA 1

What a massive accomplishment it is to even title in PSA, much less stepping onto the field and competing at a worldwide event.

To say that we are proud of these 3 phenomenal teams is an understatement, so our entire team is closing down operations and heading to SC.

‼️Any boarding or academy reservations that have already been confirmed are still good to go! But we will not be accepting anymore.
➡️ Any inquiries, messages, voicemails, etc. will all be returned and answered on the 12th.

Thanks so much for everyone’s patience and LET’S GO KILL IT LADIES!! 🥳🎉

✨Kira✨
Kira just started her training with us and she’s the sweetest baby! Her mom came to us interested in all basic obedience as well as starting some protection training! She has some homework to work on before her 4 week off-leash academy next month. We are so excited to see everything this girl can learn and do in the future!

🎉Super proud of our October 2024 Puppy Kickstart graduates!

➡️Koa & Caddie are going to do some amazing things in their future.
Shout out to each of their parents for investing in their training and setting themselves up for the most success moving forward!
Committing 4 weeks to a program, following through with homework, and being open to learn and try new things is never easy but they rocked it!

Throughout these past 4 weeks these pups and handlers worked on things together like engagement, manners, sit, down, loose leash walking, heel position, place, and even duration and distance in behaviors.

❓When training my dog, if I tell him to sit and he goes into a down instead, what do I do? ✨This is actually a question we get extremely often, and Bemie & Alishia’s training video from yesterday was a perfect example to use to explain. Do you reward the down anyway? No. If you do, that is essentially teaching your dog that the word sit could mean down or could even mean “do whatever you want.” When you allow your dog to not listen to you, (when it’s been proven they know the behavior) you are not only making your commands lose their meaning, you’re discrediting your own authority to your dog. So what do you do instead? Reinforce the behavior you want. Ask for a sit again, use whatever tools you have, a lure, a little leash pressure, etc. As soon as they sit, mark that and then reward. ✨Having a little trouble with your timing on things like this? Private lessons are perfect for you!

➡️As a handler, the number one command you need to have is a solid recall. Not sit. Not down. But a recall. This should be the strongest tool in your toolbox.✨1. Start by limiting distractions and have your dog on a long line so you still maintain control. If they are allowed to just run off, there is no training being done. Set them up for success from the very begining.✨2. Always keep a positive association with your recall. If someone was yelling and angry with you, how likely would you be to happily run up to them? My guess is not very. Use the rewards your dog finds valuable, not what you think is valuable. The dog gets to dictate what they hold value in.✨3. Always keep training. Consistency is truly the key here. Even more so than timing. Being consistent in your training will give you more positve outcomes and a better relationship with your dog. Even when you think you don’t need to work recalls, do it anyway. ✨4. Don’t over use your recall command. If your dog is highly distracted or not engaged with you in that moment, the last thing you want to do is use your command. Never set them up for faliure. Use your command when you know they have the best chance at following through, otherwise they learn that it is a suggestion instead of an order.📧 [email protected]📱(615)393-1477 ✈️ Providing Services Worldwide🇺🇸Veteran Owned🇺🇸🐾 ALL BREEDS & ALL AGES 🐾⭐️ Climate Controlled Buildings⭐️ Indoor training Building⭐️ Fenced in Play Areas🐕 PRIVATE & GROUP LESSONS🐕 DAY SCHOOL🐕 BITE CLUB 🐕 2/4/6 WEEK PUPPY BOARD & TRAIN🐕 ON & OFF LEASH BOARD & TRAIN🐕 BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION🐕 PROTECTION SALES & TRAINING🐕 DETECTION 🐕 CUSTOMIZED TRAINING#globalk9protectionservices #dogtraining #obediencetraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #puppytraining #nashville #middletn #dogtrainer #workingdogs #malinois #belgianmalinois #recall #recalltraining

🐾This has to be one of our most awaited videos.🎨Through some time and trial and error we’ve figured out what works best (for us anyway) with changing the color and painting our Ruffland crates. 👉🏼 We did our first set about 3 months ago, and they have held up extremely well.🚨Disclaimer: these are our travel crates for our van, so they get a lot of use, but don’t get thrown around.
