Meet Mylo the Shiba Inu! He's my friend's dog and unfortunately he needs a new home (divorce and with the current housing market, cannot keep him).
He's a nice boy with good energy, up to date on vaccines and neutered. He's 3yrs old. Good with kids. Unsure about other dogs and cats.

Please message me with any interest in doing a meet and greet. I'm offering a couple private lessons to help him get settled in his new home.

Yup! And the good breeders will already be training your puppy before you get it home!

Imprint periods start around 4-6 weeks of age and go until 12-16 weeks of age. This is KEY timing on training your pup and working with exposure.

Having your distemper and kennel cough vaccines started no later than 8 weeks of age will help keep your puppy safe while you are working on socialization/exposure in the real world.

I’m often asked. When should we start training our . Well a puppy is learning from the moment you bring them home. What you mean to teach and what you don’t mean to teach. Before you get your puppy. Mom is teaching them. Sometimes the breeder also teaches the pups. So when should you start. The answer :”the moment you bring the puppy home”.

Have to say a BIG congrats to ABBY on graduating with her bachelor's degree today!! She also celebrated her 2 year anniversary with K9to5 today! So much hard work and learning has gone into her development! She's an incredibly hard worker who LOVES to learn. We are incredibly lucky to have her on our team.

Jason has also been with us for over a year and he's very much so followed in the same footsteps of expanding his learning and experience.

We are incredibly lucky to have such a great team here at K9to5!

Big congratulations to both of these people for all the hard work they've put in and continue to put in!

Love is in the air! Literally. Double check your yards before you release your dogs from the door. :D

Love is in the air ❤️

Wait, there’s something else. 🦨 It’s skunk mating season. You may be more likely to see (or smell) a skunk this time of year. Roughly two months long, mating season begins in February and ends in March. As always, give wildlife the space it needs.

What if I get too close? It’s a common misconception that skunks spray all the time. In reality, they only use the spray as a last resort when they feel they have exhausted all other defense mechanisms. If someone is bold enough to threaten them, either by getting too close on a trail or sending another “per my last email” message, the skunk’s first instinct is usually to run away while grumbling. If that doesn’t work, it will turn around, raise its tail as a warning, stomp its front feet and yell out insults. Your father smelt of elderberries! (Also be sent via email.) If this still doesn’t work, (geez, take a hint) the skunk will deploy the spray.

What’s that smell? The primary stinky compounds in skunk perfume are thiols and thioacetates, both rich in sulfur—the same element that makes rotten eggs so pungent. Nice.

That’s our time for today. Smell ya later.

P. S. Baby skunks can spray from the time they’re born and have been reported to spray each other for fun—stink-bombing a mate and then running away. So, immature, right?

Shout out to Pepler's Lawncare and Landscape LLC for the save this morning! The guys who my landlord hired to plow out the shop didn't clean out my entrance area. Quick call to Matt and he shows up within 20 minutes to save the day!

Hi everyone! Due to horrible neighbors I'm forced to pivot my boarding basically immediately. I'll be reaching out to everyone with reservations by the end of the week. Emails will be sent out tomorrow for everyone who has current reservations.

** I can take in any boarding until Jan 5th and after that the dogs will be staying at the shop over night. They'll be kenneled for no more than 8.5 hours at a time. Over the weekend I'll be eliminating my only day off each week to take care of them **

We are opening up the space on Saturday mornings to rent starting this Saturday December 9th! We'll have the agility equipment set up and ready to go along with our scent boxes and flyball machine. You can just run your dogs, train with them, or get some friends together to use the space for a puppy play date (all dogs must be up to date on rabies, distemper and kennel cough vaccinations).

We'll be renting it out in 30 minute chunks starting 8am! It'll be $25 per 30 minutes for one dog and $30 per 30 minutes for multiple dogs (up to 5 total). We'll have a staff member here to help you set up, move things around or ask any general questions you may have.

Please shoot us an email ([email protected]) if you are interested and let us know what Saturdays and times work best for you!

Please stop listening to the fear-mongering media.. This illness has been in the state for at least the last 2 years. Quarantining your dog will only make it more susceptible to illnesses when you do come back out to socialize. Not only that but your dogs have a short life already, why would you keep them locked up for 10+% of it.

Compromise dogs should be fully vaccinated with bordetella and canine influenza. The owner should be a little more cautious about exposure for them. Healthy dogs should continue to go about their lives as they normally do with the owners keeping an extra eye out for any illnesses. Antibiotics as necessary from your vet.

Reports of an "outbreak" of some as yet unidentified canine respiratory illness are scaring dog owners. But veterinarians and researchers aren't panicking.

This is why we muzzle train before going to the vets! Ollie was super relaxed and easily took treats (even one without the muzzle on after showing off his pretty pearly whites!).

We regularly put the muzzle on for fun activities so he doesn't just associate with unpleasant things. He gets lots of love and treats when it's on. We even put a goofy command to it: Time to put on your face Ollie!

Every dog should be muzzle trained in the event of an emergency. Even the super nice ones! It's always smart to be prepared!

I'm SOO excited for this girl! Brida has made leaps and bounds from when I first got her. She LOVES to work and will be such a great companion for her person.

She'll be training until Feb with me then with lots of follow up with her person. I'm excited for this girl's new lease on life!!

Don't mind her exuberance! I'll tighten that up as she does more and more outings.
