Sharp K9 Academy

A happy dog is one taught how to manage themselves in all situations. Help your dog get those skills with professional training.

What we offer different,

While your dog is boarding and or being trained, they stay in our house with us and are treated as one of our own. This helps build working relationships with you dogs and makes training smoother and more efficient. We have two trainers and each of us only take 2 to 3 dogs total at one time. This way the dogs are getting the most out of our time while with us.

Gamora had a good training day. Worked with one of my regulars, Maverick for the day (he was just here for boarding) which allowed me to expose her to some more chaos with Obedience in the mix. Maverick was great for this because he is a happy wide open goofy dog with the MOST energy. G is used to my dogs that will all be calm and lay around while I work her. Maverick brought the chaos but in a controlled manner. He was trained here and his owners are awesome so they keep up his training and have come so far with him! G also had someone new coming over and had to exist in a calm state while we spoke. She's trying hard to learn the world isn't scary. Good girl G. 👏🏽

Please please educate yourself on how to treat a dog having heat related illnesse (heat exhaustion & heat stroke)

Contrary to popular belief you can not cool a dog too fast. You can however cool them too much and it's actually pretty easy if you aren't constantly monitoring their internal body temperature. Be sure to have at least two thermometers in your vehicle. Yes the human ones work but they also can top out at a certain temp. Get the dog kind of you can. Digital is fastest. Having two, means less chance of a dead battery.

Wet the entire dog with running water. This is the best way if you have access to running water from a hose or a cool moving creek.

Emergency ice packs are amazing. Cooling towels. I don't recommend covering the dog in them but having them in small areas on the dog (armpits, belly & between the legs with constant rewetting to keep them cool.

Keep a fan blowing on them in a shaded area while wetting the dog constantly.

Be sure to watch that temperature. I check every 3 minutes. Once the dog cools to 104 take them to the vet for after care. They can go from being overheated to being extremely cold. Be careful with that. Both (hyperthermia too hot) and (hypothermia too cold) are very dangerous

I will link some items I have for emergency pack in my truck.

Blu enjoys long walks and sunsets together 💙

09/11/2023

Blu has had a big day today. We went to tractor supply first and made a few laps around the store. He was the best gentleman. Then we went down to the creek to train the other dogs and after that Blu got to play in the creek. That was his favorite part I think. 💙

"I played tug with that one guy that Mrs. Dari calls babe. Weird name but ok. Dude seems pretty cool" ~ Blu probably

Today's update is, Blu likes working for turkey sandwich meat. It's his favorite thing so far. Dog treats are for the dogs. Duh. 🤣 We started working on "down" yesterday, but his butt seems to have a thing for staying up in the air. It has a mind of it's own.

09/04/2023

How can you have a bully boy named Blu in your care without daily snuggles?? I love him 😍😘

09/02/2023

Meet Blu. The latest board and train. He is super sweet and super goofy. Making friends today, tomorrow we start the grind!

Mav had himself a fine day 💜

04/29/2023

There is more than one answer to each problem in dog training. So many factors can change the outcome at the time of training.

I can't tell you that X will work in the Y situation, because Z could be something unexpected. What works at home in a controlled environment may not work in the field with birds chirping and cats hissing. Another tool may be the better tool in that situation.

So what I can do is give you and your dog a tool bag full of tools that you can pick through and use in different situations.

Here is Maverick. Mav is reactive. He is currently working on filling up one of those giant tool boxes you see at a machine shop with tools to help him curb his reactivity 💙 He is learning that scary situations (people he doesn't know walking up) aren't really all that scary and they come with fun obedience and reward training. What's not to like about that?
