🌟 Darby is a dedicated service dog in training who recently wrapped up her latest training phase at K9 Life Lessons. During her stay, we honed her obedience skills, particularly around other dogs, and taught her an off-leash heel.
Darby is gradually becoming a more reliable companion, impressing us all with her steady progress. We can’t wait to see all the wonderful ways she’ll serve and support her future handler!

Dylan is trying to convince us just how pitiful he feels because we won’t let him snuggle up to us at this moment. 🥺 Is there an award for best dramatic performance? 🏆 Because Dylan might just be a contender. Such a tough life, but someone’s got to live it. 😅

Ally from last month’s Board & Train group had a great go-home lesson. During her go-home lesson, her owner shared some heartfelt feedback which we were able to capture on video.Ally demonstrated her threshold manners as she entered the training room and was then allowed to roam freely. After not seeing her owner for an entire month, Ally was able to greet her without jumping—a significant accomplishment given their past struggles. Her owner expressed, ‘The training has been well worth the money. If the only thing we accomplished was her not jumping, it has been well worth it.’ But that’s not all—since going home, Ally has done well with her training.We couldn’t be prouder of Ally and the progress she has made. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Thank you for trusting us to bring out the best in your furry family members!👉 If you’re considering training for your dog, remember it’s never too late to start.

Baxley and Hank, the dynamic duo, have successfully graduated from our On and Off Leash Basic Obedience Program and are showing off their polite manners in public! 🐾🛒 Before they headed home yesterday, we made sure to take them out to Tractor Supply to confirm they could handle being well-behaved in public settings.
Check out their trip where they demonstrated being the ‘best of boys,’ walking around and handling the environment like pros. Their owners wanted them to be more comfortable in public and even join them at work, and Baxley and Hank are proving that they’re up to the task.
We’re so proud of their progress and can’t wait to hear more about their future outings and adventures! 🎉

🐾 Why ‘sit’? While it’s a popular first command for many pet owners, I find ‘down’ or ‘place’ to be more effective for sustained obedience for the average pet owner. 🤔
Here’s Ranger showing off his ‘sit’. It’s a good start, but if a dog decides to lie down from a sit without being told—especially if the owner then accepts this behavior—it can subtly undermine leadership. This lack of consistency might be why you’re struggling with obedience in other areas.
Why not use a command that helps your dog comfortably hold a command for longer? If you find yourself accepting a different behavior than what you commanded, perhaps it’s time to adjust your commands to better suit what you are willing to enforce consistently.
👉 Follow us at K9 Life Lessons for practical training tips and insights on how to enhance your leadership and your dog’s obedience! 🐶✨

Check out Ally’s treat training tactics! 🐾🎥 You wouldn't know it from the video, but Ally might just take your hand off for a treat! 😂 We’re fine-tuning her manners with an ‘approach and retreat’ method: I move in with a treat, and if she lunges, the treat pulls back—repeating until she’s calm and collected.
Does your dog also act like a treat-seeking missile? Watch how Ally learns to swap chaos for courtesy. Patience and a careful hand win the game!

These two are showing how to balance active training with learning to unwind. Gus stays focused on his task of maintaining his ‘place,’ and Honey observes the world around her—both crucial skills for a well-rounded pup.

Nature’s Cleanup Crew at Work! 🐞💩 Today, while spending some quality time with our new students at K9 Life Lessons, I witnessed nature’s efficiency firsthand. After letting the last dog of the day have some run-around time, I stepped inside briefly. Upon returning to clean up, I was greeted by a dung beetle hard at work, trying to haul away a ‘deposit’ that was left behind for me. 🤣 It’s a bit gross, but incredibly fascinating! Dung beetles play a crucial role in our ecosystem by breaking down waste and enriching the soil. It’s amazing to see nature’s cleaners in action, maintaining ecological balance right in our backyard!Remember, always clean up after your pets—unless you’ve got your own team of dung beetles, of course! 🌍🐾 Follow K9 Life Lessons for more unique insights and tips! 👀
Mastering the ‘here’ command in the early stages? 🐕🦺🌟 Try our Intermediate Rewards technique! Start with enthusiastic verbal praise as soon as your dog responds to the recall. 🗣️💬 Then, when they complete the command, mark it with a ‘yes!’ and give a treat. 🍖 This method builds a strong foundation, and as your dog becomes more reliable, you can gradually phase out the rewards.

Busting the Age-Old Myth: Time Doesn’t Guarantee a Calm Dog
🐾 Ever heard the saying that dogs calm down as they get older? Well, it’s not that simple. Darla, our lively puppy, who’s proof that hoping for a naturally calmer dog in adulthood might not pan out. 🐶✨
Why can’t we just wait for maturity?
1. Personality Matters: Each dog is unique. Some might mellow with age, but others maintain their youthful zest.
2. Training is Key: It’s not about age but training. Consistent, reinforcement from the start shapes the behavior we desire.
3. Active Effort Over Hope: Cultivating calmness isn’t about waiting; it’s about teaching and guiding.
Let’s not leave our dog’s development to chance. By fostering good habits early on, we ensure our furry friends grow into their best selves—energetic or not.
👉 What are your thoughts or experiences with this myth? Let’s chat below!
