Kronk says hello!
This handsome boyo is currently in training to help curb some mild reactivity! Last class we worked on the “place” cue to give him a safe space to go to when people come over. Kronk did fantastic! His pawrents had previously worked on place and so it was mostly solidifying the cue, as well as adding in distractions and prolonging the duration of his place!

Meet Atlas 🥹 (peep the little teefer grin in the second picture!)
Atlas has a little case of separation anxiety that we’re working on!
Anxiety is a pretty common trait in German Shepherds. Sometimes medication on board is needed to help them focus on the actual training (think of it just like how it is with humans!)
Atlas is currently receiving help from a bit of anxiety meds in addition to a specialized training program that I designed to help him overcome his separation anxiety and desensitize him to feeling alone while his owners are at work!
His pawrents are doing everything right with this handsome boyo!
🥳 Archie graduated! 🥳
Backstory:
Archie’s mom enrolled him in our Quality K9 program (this program covers just about anything and everything!) but along the way she discovered that Archie had a resource guarding problem with food.
We quickly halted obedience skills to focus the training on his food aggression, and I’m so happy to say that his resource guarding behaviors are gone! (Archie’s mom is continuing resource guarding training and has protocols in place to ensure that this behavior is managed).
Great! Back to obedience skills! NOPE!
Archie’s mom noticed him walking a little funky. She brought him in to confirm her suspicions that something was wrong. We consulted with Archie’s veterinary team and sure enough, both hips were wonky 😔 I’m talking bone-on-bone. Further consults and some tears later, we figured out the best course of action. We were able to continue training, but surgery had to wait until Archie reached 9 months old to give him some time to grow.
Archie graduated last week with flying colors and I’m so incredibly proud of him and his mom! Their next step is heading back to New York for Archie to have surgery on both hips.
I’m not supposed to have favorites, but… Archie is so smart and such a sweet boy despite these setbacks! And his MOM! Up to a $20k surgery (yes, you read that right!) and she will move mountains to make it happen. She is the definition of what a dog parent should be! She has worked endlessly, following every instruction to help her fur baby, and I’m in awe of her dedication to Archie!
Congratulations Archie and Sam! I’m so proud of you both and I can’t wait to see what you accomplish! Have a safe trip, and everyone wish Archie a smooth recovery from his surgeries!

✨THIS is what the recall should look like!✨Positive reinforcement, reward based training at its finest!
Maple is so happy and excited to recall back to mom because she knows that every time she performs this skill, she’s going to get great rewards!
This is how it SHOULD be!! Your dogs should WANT to perform these skills because we reward them when they do! It’s a give and a take. You get paid at your job, so why shouldn’t your dog get paid for performing skills as well?! When you teach them that great things happen when they do the things you ask of them, your success rate will greatly increase, and before you know it, you’ll have an incredible, well-behaved furry companion!

🐾 Meet Kira! 🐾 Kira is a VERY reactive/protective German Shepherd who barks, lunges and reacts aggressively towards people, especially when her mom is present. Shes VERY protective of her mom! Kira’s first few lessons involved me sitting in a chair, tossing some treats out to gain her trust. Each lesson was filled with barking, occasional lunging, and me being unable to stand or walk around without her reacting to me from across the room. With positive reinforcement and some serious treat overload, gradually, she trusted me enough to come take treats from my hand! I could even stand up and move about the training space without her reacting. We did a few lessons with mom leaving the facility so that I could work with Kira one-on-one to continue earning her trust, without her having to worry about protecting mom! After earning her trust enough for Kira to work her commands with me and allow me to slowly start petting her, I began to introduce her to my husband, Alex. Within 3 lessons with me and Alex, Kira was able to trust Alex enough to allow him to walk her around the facility, give her treats, AND listen to commands! This. Is. HUGE! There is still a lot of progress to be made as training is a never ending event, but to say I’m proud of Kira and her mom would be an absolute understatement! Kira has come so far! I would also like to note that Kira’s progress has been made with ONLY positive reinforcement! No choke chains, no prong collars, no shock collars. The ONLY training tools we’ve used are treats and positive reinforcement! We utilized a basket muzzle when first introducing her to Alex to ensure Kira and Alex’s safety, but even that training tool quickly came off! And I’m pleased to say, that I can now treat Kira and give her lots of love, even when she’s right next to her mom! In the beginning, I have no doubt that if I had directly approached their team, Kira would have tried to bite me in order to protect her mom (this is in h
How cool is this?! Nail scratcher slow feeder now available at the Academy for $17!! If you have a dog that hates nail trims, then this is for you!! You put some kibble in each of the holes, and then your dog has to move the turntable to get to each hole to eat! There is a scratch pad on top, so when your dog uses their paw to turn it, their nails get filed down! Want to get your “paws” on one of these guys?! I have two available, with more on order! Send me a message to get yours, or to preorder for the next ones that come in! Pick up will be at the Academy! ***We accept cash, check, Venmo and card payments!*** ***Please keep in mind, this is not for every feeding! Too much filing can reach their quicks! Please only use this once a week or once every two weeks, depending on the length of your dogs nails! This also does not completely remove the need for nail trims! This is just a tool to use WITH training for desensitizing your dog to nail trims***
Our boys saw the Academy for the first time tonight! I’d say the happy tippy tappies and that huge grin mean that they approve!! 🐾💜🐾 #dogtrainer #k9academy #grandopening
Sneak peek!! 🫣 We passed our “paw patrol” inspection! 🤗🐾🐕 The K9 Academy mascots, Crixus and Crunch sniffed out every nook and cranny! They even found my top secret 🤫 treat stash! We’re putting on the final touches (moving everything around 15 times to make sure is paw-fect 😅) and we’ll be ready to rock and roll-over for opening day this Saturday! See you there!! 🐾💜🐾
Bloopers! 🤣 Sometimes training doesn’t go as planned! And that’s 💯 okay! Laugh it off and keep on training! 💜🐶
Crunch - our Foster pup putting in the work! This little man loves to have his mind worked and will do just about anything for a good snack! 🍪 (I feel that 🤣) He’s picked up the Down command in one ☝🏻 session and follows thru with the verbal, 🗣️ hand signal,👇🏻 and both! This is no easy feat for a puppy! 🐶 Good job Crunch! Crunch is available for adoption thru The Good Life Rescue!
