This little girl has come a long way. Brinley is still unsure of new things like sitting on the shelf, but she did it. She is also starting to “lead” our adventures in public places. At this point I am not concerned about her obedience. The goal for her is to become more confident. Brinley is available for adoption through Ma, Paws, & Me Pet Rescue, Inc. When adopted I will throw in 4 free training sessions to help her settle in with her new family

Nash is a graduate of the Fresh Start and Strengthening the Bond class we offer. He is perfecting his off leash obedience in public places. Justin and Wendy are doing a great job continuing their training and building a lasting bond with Nash!

07/23/2024

Brinley has been working hard on building her confidence and fear of new things. She takes a little bit to warm up, but once she does she will be your best friend.

Brinley is a lab mix available for adoption through Ma, Paws, & Me Pet Rescue, Inc.

We want to continue setting her up for success so any future adopters will receive 4 free training sessions with Crucible K9.

I love when we get photos of client dogs. Ragnars owners are doing a great job working on his obedience and reactivity. Looks like he is enjoying the pool in this heat wave

Odin has been with us a couple of weeks and he is settling in well. He is quickly learning place,down,sit and rear end awareness using shaping methods learned from .pet. At Crucible K9 we like to shape behaviors because we believe when the dog “makes the decision to do something” it sticks longer.

Welcome our new puppy to the Crucible K9 pack. We have spent a lot of time finding the perfect puppy to train and one day take over for Zoey as my training dog. We have decided to name him Odin in honor of our friends police K9. We hope that our Odin will make him proud. Thank you to for the wonderful puppy

YAY! Today was graduation for our “strengthening the bond” students. Most of these dogs started with the Fresh Start class and continued their journey in the advanced class. We are so proud of how far they came. Congrats to all!!
Vittles and Patterson are available for adoption through mapawsmepetrescue.com

We are offering another Fresh Start class at Laughing Dogs Daycare and Training Services in Lake Mills. This class is great for all dogs that may need obedience work but are too old for a basic puppy class. We work on all of the basic commands but focus on YOUR relationship with your dog. This is great for rescue/shelter dogs becuase we aren’t afraid to take on mild/moderate reactive dogs in a classroom setting. Classes will begin 7/21 at 10:00am and run for 5 weeks. If you’re interested send us a message and we will get you a registration form. We look forward to working with you and your dog.

Mrs Crucible K9 is holding the next “face” of Crucible K9. Friday night we had the pleasure of meeting all the puppies and choosing the one we wanted. In two weeks he will be coming home and starting his training. Thanks to for giving us this opportunity

We have been given a great oppurtunity to hold our Fresh Start class at ICON K9 Obedience in Grafton. This class is great for all dogs that may need obedience work but are too old for a basic puppy class. We work on all of the basic commands but focus on YOUR relationship with your dog. This is great for rescue/shelter dogs becuase we aren’t afraid to take on mild/moderate reactive dogs in a classroom setting. Classes will begin 7/20 at 9:00am and run for 5 weeks. If you’re interested send us a message and we will get you a registration form. We look forward to working with you and your dog.

One other picture from today’s class. Oliver used to be dog reactive, but now he lets his girlfriend Zoey get close.

06/09/2024

All the dogs in the strengthening the bond class have excelled at being good doggy citizens. Over the last 5 weeks these dogs have learned how to hold commands at a distance and with distractions. They will all receive their gold star at next weeks graduation

Today was the first “strengthening the bond” class that was held outside. After 3 weeks of classroom sessions working on advanced obedience, we moved the classroom outside. Most of these dogs had some level of reactivity when we started and now they all have the ability to hold their commands in a very stimulating environment. I asked them to do things that they never thought their dogs could do. The bond that is built when you start to trust your dog is powerful. I am so proud of each of the dogs and their owners.

We love getting pictures from our clients. This is Nash and they are working on his obedience in public with distractions. He isn’t ready to be off leash yet but they are teaching him to hold commands using his leash.

Bogy is working hard on his exposure and confidence building. This is his first time in a big store and he knocked it out of the park

Congratulations to the inaugural veterans and first responders classes. We are huge supporters of military, first responders and law enforcement. This was our way of giving back!

Maverick is out cold after his training session. His owners are looking forward to seeing a change in his behavior by creating more leadership and structure. They are committed to putting in the work.

04/06/2024

People In our fresh start classes have been asking if we are going to do a more advanced class. We are happy to announce that we are going to offer a new class called “Strengthening the Bond”. This will be a 6 week class. We will do 3 weeks of “classroom” work where we build on foundational work and 3 weeks exposure training. The class will begin May 12th at laughing dog daycare in lake mills. Please email or message me for details. We will limit the class to 6 dogs.

A huge thank you to Janelle Stiemke for making the new Crucible K9 Training shirts for me and Mrs. Crucible. She did a couple special shirts for me that have Zoey on them and some of the ones that don’t have her picture. Janelle did a great job on these shirts.

Congratulations to all the dogs that participated and graduated from their “Fresh Start” class. These dogs and owners have worked very hard throughout the last 5 weeks. Good job everyone!

Aspen and Patterson are foster dogs still awaiting their furever home. They have already started the foundation of their training. They are available for adoption through mapawsmepetrescue.com

This is our chance to give back. We support military and law enforcement and now is our chance to prove it instead of just talking about. This will be an amazing class and is completely free to the men and woman who protect us domestically and abroad.

Fred has been working hard on his impulse control around other dogs. He is doing great with his “place” command. While he is on “place” I have my dog Zoey working around him.

Putting in the work

Nash doing some off leash heeling during our group class

Oliver is putting in the work after class. The owner asked if we could do some off leash work after class. I am always glad to help people when they are motivated and want to put in extra work. This is the first time Oliver has been off leash. I would say it’s a good start. For context, Zoey isn’t far away and Oliver used to be dog reactive

A good way to work on recall is with a long line. With a long line you don’t have to worry about your dog running away, but also allowing them some distance.
