Look at this goofy, handsome boy 😍
Meet Murphy! 🐶
Meet Lincoln! 🐶
Lincoln is one of our private lesson clients! He is a very special rescue who was blessed with a family that loves and cares for him.
We look forward to his lessons every week because of just how much he is learning, growing, and adjusting to his new life. 🤩
~ we did something a little different today 😊 we participated in the co****le tournament the Jefferson Ohio Rotary Club put on this morning.
🐾 also a fun experience enjoying the chili cook - off! We love seeing all the ways this town can come together ❤️
In case any one was wondering 🙃
🐾 here is a simple tool we use for training - tethering!
* please consult a professional trainer before using any training tools
~ we use this tool A LOT with our dogs.
🐶 Fred is a Sheepadoodle with a busy mind. In new environments - the last thing we need is to put an expectation that just because Fred can chill in his own house, does not mean he will chill in a different house with 2 kids & 2 dogs that he’s not used to living with. Here is where we use the tethering tool - there’s no command, just the understanding of “this is your safe space” to relax. Fred understands what’s expected of him when tethered. The word “Rest” can be associated with tethering to set your dog up with knowing in advance.
🦴 if you notice Fred also his bone there with them for something to do if he gets bored. We know that a wondering pacing Fred is not the best version of him - so we show him how to relax in environments that he’s known for pacing & having a spastic brain.
🥳 we’d like to take a moment to wish one of our own a VERY Happy Birthday!
~ Kailey is the glue that holds us together here @ Kota K9 ❤️ our family is blessed to have her.
🐾 if you see Kailey today, be sure to show her some love 🙂
🆕 Reward cards for our clients! We have such an amazing group of pups that repeat visits so often, we wanted to be able to give back! 🐶 Next time you visit, be sure to grab one!
🤩 Dewey&Cowboy 🤠

🐶This little cutie is Maize the Woodle!
A Wheaten Terrier X Poodle! 😍
~ they can’t get any cuter than this. But don’t let that cuteness fool you - she has the busy brain of a doodle & can be a handful of excitement!
🐾 Maize is going through a Day Train Program & is on her first week with us!
☝️the first thing we work on with a busy brained dog is how to not be so busy.
We work on building a relationship with your dog before we ask them to do anything. This allows them to be in a teachable brain to be successful throughout training! 🎖️
🐶 GIBBS!!
This handsome boy completed a board and train with us about a year ago- and is staying with us while his family is on vacation 😍
Paw Crawl Pet Fest was a HUGE hit for all last night! 👏🏻
~ thank you to everyone who came out to show support. A special thank you to those who volunteered for our demonstration! 🙏
🐾 We also have to give a big shout out to some pawesome members of our Kota K9 family. Alexis & Diesel (the GSD), along with Heaven & Rigby (the griff), showed off some of their training skills last night. They did AMAZING!
🐐 the trainers then decided to trade in their canine companions for some goats 😊 jk jk…we just apparently didn’t take any pictures of our own pups! We couldn’t be here without our doggos 🫶
✌️ Until next year Jefferson!

🐺Murph Man finished a Day Train Program with us last fall. During his training - we installed basic leash manners. Along with set the foundation with ecollar training in sterile environments. We have some good looking GSD’s that come through our doors I must say 🤩
🐾 Oh Eli 🥰 the cutest little pup! We just loved working with him & his human. So much s***k in one little guy!
🐺 Hanker Panker Janker Joe is a frequent flyer since he completed training with us. We see him often for his families vacationing needs. Time spent with him, is time well spent 🥰
🐾 these boys were so fun to work with! Finn & Rigby are two cool dudes 😎
😍 Are these two not the cutest little pitties you’ve ever seen!
~ Kraut & Hellena come to us for weekly lessons with their humans. We love working with these goofballs!
🤩 Maverick is our favorite success story yet! Huskys are a wonderful breed but they can also come with their own challenges. We did a variation of programs to get this boy where he needed to be. We also spent a lot of one-on-one time installing handling skills into the owner. Training did get tough, but Mavs owner never gave up! 💪 Together, we pushed through the hard work, frustrations & tears. In the end, it was all worth it ❤️ Tammy & Maverick are now working together with total off leash control! we are forever grateful to have worked with this pair! 🙏
🐾 those 3 minutes could do wonders for their brain 🧠 ❤️
☀️ This is your friendly reminder to get out there & do nothing with your dog!…….
~ we don’t mean all the time 😁 just every now & again. It could benefit you & your dog so much!
🐶 Find a spot to just do nothing. At first around very low distractions. Maybe bring a book for yourself. Help your dog into a resting position, if you find them struggling. Then allow them to relax. Communicate with your leash when necessary with distractions, use marker works when necessary, try not to use commands
🐾 but overall just chill out & enjoy each others company ❤️

🛠️ Tools - they are only as good as the hands of the person they are in.~ Examples like - a knife in your hand can be used for good or harmful ways- but I use it to cut a carrot & potatoes for soup. A baseball bat, the same thing - can be a tool used to bring a kids dream alive of hitting a home run. In the wrong hands, these tools can also be harmful but that doesn’t stop us from using them. We use them carefully, with knowledge & technique to avoid any hurt. ~ the types of tools we use for dog training: 3ft - 30ft leashes, flat collar, retractable leashes, plastic prong collar, metal prong collar, slip leads, martingales, ecollars.🐶 We only use tools the dog is ready for. It is up to us as the owner (also the trainer) to build the relationship with our dog built off all the good stuff they love like food, toys & freedom. It is also up to us to build a communication system that is clear & consistent between us & our dog. We use those things they love to teach them. We don’t speak dog & dogs can’t speak. But they can understand consistent communication through their equipment & teaching them words have meaning. 🐾 as always - ask questions, please. We are very open with our personal dogs & how we train them. We’re always out & about, stop & say hi! We are here to educate & empower decision making 💪 E-Collar Technologies thank you for making a tool that’s easy to use & fun to learn.

It’s a wonder how it even got up, but it’s up!!! Thanks to our friend Billy, for all of his help. When these two get together…. well, see for yourself 😂 #wehaveasign #smallbusiness #community #dogtraining #besties
Cowboy came to WORK! 🤩 This boy has a super chill personality (wait til you see his brother), and we plan to keep it that way! Just a few days in and he shows tons of confidence. We started shaping his heel and “place” command, and he nailed it! 🐾 #oldenglishbulldog #dogtrainer #balancedtraining #puppylove #familybusiness #dogfun #wigglebutt
Our girl Iris came to stay a little while 💕🤩 #englishbulldog #familybusiness #dogtraining #dogboarding #puppylove
🐾 We tried something new for a client & took on our first Stay Care Pup! ~ Meet Elsie 🐶 🐾 Elsie was in need of a buddy to hang out with during the day while her human goes to work. We’ve been toying around with the idea of offering a “structured day care” for our dog friends who don’t need training but just need a fun place to hang out during the day. Here we are, having fun with our new pal Elsie 😊 #dogtrainer #dogfun #familyfun #dogfriends #familybusiness #doglove #doggiedaycare #firstday
These little dudes will be joining us in a couple weeks 😍 #Oldenglishbulldog #puppylove #dogtraining #welovewhatwedo #brotherlylove
🐶A team member had the pleasure of chillin with a furiend of ours on his home turf! 🐾 Whiskey needed someone to come hang with him for the evening while his humans went & had some fun 🎉 Folks - let me take a moment to explain to you how awesome it was to hang out with this fella! His owners took his training seriously & it shows! With ZERO equipment on, this dude can be trusted around his home. We encountered an Amazon guy, a kid on a Hoover board & a dog walking down the road. This dude didn’t flinch! This comes with tons of perfect practice, time & repetitions of showing Whiskey what’s expected of him in his environment. Kudos to this boys family! 👏🏻 #aussie #familydog #offleashconfidence #practice #consistencyiskey #DogTraining
Hanker Panker 🥰 Whenever Hank stays with us, we try and give him plenty of outlets for his drive and energy! I swear this dude never gets tired when he’s around Kota. Hank loves playing ball- so we work his obedience into his play time to keep him on his “paws” 🐶 #gsd #germanshepherd #doglover #dogtraining #balancedtrainer #goodvibes #relationshipbuilding
🐶Kaia finished up her training about a week ago- but her owners went on vacation and asked if she could stay! We took that opportunity to work on her boundaries. This girl has a lot of yard to run, but sometimes goes too far. Here we are teaching her the meaning of the flags, using leash communication at first then transferring to her e collar! She picked it up in no time. 🙂
