Ash was having so much fun at his field trip to practice manners in the park he started drooling (hard to see :-))
Practicing manners when out in public is part of what we do, he is learning to down on his verbal only cue so we can cue him at a distance etc. Also more learning to relaxing when there's a bunch of people around. He's come so far!

Awwww...remembering Tyler! This sweet boy was one of Lynnes early personal dogs and he was amazing! He lived to be about 12 years old and was an amazing demo dog. At the time of his passing he knew over 200 cues including things like close the door, turn on and off the lights, "where's my keys", all the silly pet tricks and loads of other tricks and behaviors. He loved everybody and every animal and spent time playing with her macaw. He did countless demos all over the place and was a standing fixture in her classes for at least a decade. He's been gone for over 15 years at this point but he still holds a place in the Blazing Trails K9 family. Here he is doing a sit pretty at probably about 11 years old....we miss you good boy!

Had an update from one of our BTK9 family on our beloved miss Ruby this weekend. She is living her best life with her dedicated owners, which always makes our day! She has her quirks still but she can now walk well on a leash, not jump, isn't scared of the car, and while she is still herself, she is becoming an amazing companion. Our family loves her too!

Here's what they said:

"I just wanted to thank you for all the training with ruby. She went on her 1st 3 day overnight Raft trip. She did amazing! She is becoming so brave and strong. "

Yay, atta girl Ruby!

Sooo proud of Annie. We checked in with her as it's been a bit over a year since we have seen her and she's all grown up! Check out what her dad said in his review

"I got my first dog last year. Never trained one before only had family dogs. I got the cutest little husky and she was so stubborn and was an absolute terrorizer. Chewed on everything, couldn’t potty train her, and would not listen. I called Lynne and a year later she is the best and sweetest dog I could’ve asked for and I could not have done it without Lynne. She was so great. "

Checking in with her now and she's still being a pretty good girl. She was one of those dogs I like to call an "evil genius" (if you have one you know what I'm talking about lol) she would bolt out the door and refuse to come back, had potty issues and chewed, snuck up on counters to grab things, and pulled like the best sled dog money could buy. And she had the fun habit of twisting what you said into her own way of doing things. These days she's still full of character, but her dad knows how to handle her and she isn't doing the annoying parts. We invited him to do a follow up (we always miss old clients) and got some updates pics of our happy little Annie.

If you're a former client, drop us pics and updates...does our hearts good!

"Do you work with aggression?"

Yes, that's A LOT of what we do. We are pretty experienced with it. Though there are some cases we might prefer to refer out simply because it needs a different setting or because we feel it's not a fit.. aggression and reactivity is within our wheelhouse! (First dog trained 40 years ago was a dog aggressive handler redirecting doberman :-) )

If you are experiencing severe behavior issues, feel free to reach out for our free phone consult. We will then help you determine what is potentially happening and if our programs are a fit for your situation!
