New pack member, Sakari came into the pack ready to learn. She was just recently adopted, so she had lots of skills to learn. Luckily she is a very smart pup, and picked up on everything quickly. We worked on conditioning her to the loop, place, polite socialization, recall, and all the foundational skills needed for a balanced pup. We can’t wait to have her back in the pack!

How often do you see your dog use their nose to assess a situation? If you’re anything like we used to be, the answer is probably not very often.

While scent is our dogs strongest and most natural sense, they often rely on sight or sound first which can potentially lead to a misread of a person or object. When they feel safe enough to trust their nose, more often than not they are able to figure out who or what they’re dealing with and calmly move on. Creating balance in their role within the relationship can play a big part in reteaching them to trust their sense of smell rather than defaulting to reacting after seeing or hearing something.

New pack member, Bonnie came into the pack a bit nervous of all her new friends. After some leash drills, place work, and decompression time in the crate, she did great with some social time. We can’t wait to see the progress with this smart girl. Welcome to the pack, Bonnie!

New pack member, Piper (former best Chance pup Hyde) came in ready with a solid foundation under her belt as her new family has been working hard acclimating her to their pack. She was a bit fearful to start but, by the end of the day she wasn’t skipping a beat. Welcome to the pack, Piper!

It’s a whole day late which is extra funny because Brandon has never been late in his life to literally anything BUT…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!

Brandon balances the energy of any room he walks into. He brings calm when there’s tension. He brings focus when there’s chaos. And when you need a pick me up or you’re having a bad day, Brandon will bring some of the most unexpected hilarious jokes that you never knew you needed.

I’ll still never understand how we got so lucky on our very first interview when we opened the center. There are so many humans and so many dogs who live better lives now because of Brandon.

And the MIK9 team is no exception to that.

Happy (late) birthday, Brando. We love you!
