Place duration is going to be key to teaching these boys how to calm their minds!
And now there are 2 learning how to walk nicely on leash together.
Notice how Mike is keeping everything structured, calm, little verbal and using spatial pressure.
We are working towards building confidence and instilling calm. This is how the gets done. Not by carrying on conversations with your dog, getting them over stimulated and anxious.
Keep it calm! Build confidence! Help your dog achieve success!

Merle is on his way to polite leash walking. No pulling, lunging, marking or jumping!
He is picking up the default sit very quickly. GSPs are highly intelligent dogs. They are a high drive working line dog that thrives on structure and having a job to do.
We are doing just that. We began the structure at drop off, taught crate manners and threshold manners.
We introduced the prong collar and as you can see Merle isn’t pulling and chocking himself anymore. If you aren’t familiar with prong collars, educate yourself and learn how to use them correctly. It’s like getting power steering in your car .
Look how focused and confident he is looking!! So excited for the next 3 weeks that he is with us!

Waylon and Merle have arrived from Georgia. If you aren’t familiar with the breed German ShortHaired Pointer we can tell you they are super high energy! Waylon and Merle have anxiety issues. Stay tuned as we teach them how to calm their minds, proper leash walking, build their confidence and get them to a better state of mind.
They are a lot and we are ready to teach them and work with their owners.
Follow along…

Mr. Louie is a beast when it comes to food! He was not patient, didn’t want to wait and gobbled his food us faster than the Tasmanian Devil 😬
Welp look what he learned to do in less than a minute!!! Wait nicely for a release word.
This can be taught very easily and it’s a great first step to becoming relevant to your dog, providing structure and building confidence!!
Duke is back for a little refresher. When we first trained him he was just a young pup. He has matured a little and we brought him back to refresh and build on the foundation. He is doing great and that muscle memory kicked in and he fell right in line.
You aren’t alone after your dog goes home after completing our board and train. We are still here for owners to provide individual support, cone out to your home to work through issues, we have pack walks during the year to connect with like minded people wanting to have well behaved dogs.
We have 1 opening left in early April. Give us a call today to get scheduled before it fills!

Thor worked for almost 3 hours teaching his people everything he learned the past 3 weeks while at 513K9.
It’s not just about training the dog, more importantly it’s about teaching owners how to interact with their dog, build a foundation and continue training in everyday life!!
Ecollars are the greatest tool!!

No rough housing inside. It’s calm and quiet in the house, maintains place, no free roaming around the house while you go about your day.
Teach the OUT command. It’s out of the dog’s mouth and out of the area so it’s safe for you to pick up whatever the dog had in its mouth.
Check out Thor. He is super high drive, loves balls and he now has an On/Off. He knows when he can play and when he needs to chill. It’s a wonderful thing when a dog learns how to calm itself, listen to the handler and make good decisions!

Slow it down folks! Slow down your movements around your dog’s, lower your voice tone and limit your verbal communication. Keep it simple! Be clear and consistent so your dog understands what is expected. Don’t confuse your dog.
Thor is heading home tomorrow. We took him from a high drive, overly aroused, German shepherd that was lacking confidence to a high drive, easily calmed German shepherd with great recall and confidence!!
