Weekend Pup-date!
🐾
Three shepherds and a chicken nugget…
🐾
Jack the GSD wrapped up his 3 week on leash program, and is headed home to the farm in the Nashville area soon. At 8 months old he sorely needed work on manners, walking appropriately, climb and recall, and channeling his big puppy energy in a productive direction.
🐾
Moose the GSD finished up his first of five weeks, and is showing huge improvements in working through leash aggression and general anxiety about life. Showing him proper communication and how to win while working has began building his confidence, showing him that there can be a better way to think and manage new situations!
🐾
Tex (Texas Ranger ❤️) the Aussie completed his first three week phase of his puppy program, and did it with panache! This little stud loves to work and always gives 100%, and is a blast to work with. He’ll be back in February to learn off leash freedom and fun!
🐾
Chuu the Chihuahua finishes up a custom program in a couple days, and has been super fun! She’s a feisty little burrito that loves to work, while also loving to do her own thing, while occasionally keeping myself and her mom on our toes by throwing some sass and stubbornness our way. Little dogs can be trained too!

This year the exercise was held...

Happy 2nd to my sweet little goon!
I love this little dude and his silly, overly social approach to life, and love of bitework. Enjoy the deer leg, sweet boy!

Big love to Tom for the shoutout from Down Under! 🇦🇺

Kato and I had the pleasure of spending some time with the man behind Origin K9 while training with the Air National Guard and other military and civilian first responder units, while taking part in National Guard Patriot Exercise 2024, in February! Kerry and Desi (also pictured) travelled a wee bit further than us (like many of the participants. They came all the way from Maine!), and were a total blast to train and kick it with for over a week.

More to come in the next week or so as I collect my thoughts and content for a blog post!

Tom…I still need to get an order in for a t-shirt, hat and tactical quick release lead…😬

Patriot Exercise 2024 🇺🇸

Highlights from a couple weeks ago hanging with a ton of rad people from Air Force National Guard Security Forces, in addition to other military, law enforcement and civilian units learning to conduct cohesive emergency response operations.

We’ve been having a PHENOMENAL time over the last week integrating and supporting domestic operations training with National Guard Security Forces personnel and other military and civilian units from all over the country. Everyone has been exceptional to work with and an absolute pleasure to get to know. More to come once we get home and catch up on some sleep!
