Beast to Bestie K9 Academy

Beast to Bestie K9 Academy Family dog trainer. Turning problem beasts into your bestie Our training Philosophy:
At Beast to Bestie, we do not take a one-size fits all training approach.

We spend time getting to know the owner and the dog to create a customized approach based on the personality and drives of the dog and goals of the owner. Classes are private one-on-one sessions, where our trainer will teach you (the owner) how to communicate with your dog, teach wanted behaviors, and stop unwanted behaviors. Our goal is to not only teach a dog obedience or stop unwanted behavior,

but to build a strong, healthy relationship between owner and canine. Dogs thrive on strong leadership, structure, and routine. We will teach you how to be the leader your dog deserves, while incorporating structure and routine in your dog’s life, guaranteeing a happier life for both you and your bestie. For their safety and yours, it is vital a dog knows right from wrong, that is why we use a balanced training approach. This means during the learning phase of teaching obedience commands and house rules, we use reward-based reinforcements only. It is only after the dog knows and understands what is being asked of them, do we apply an appropriate correction for noncompliance or to eliminate dangerous behaviors. We love dogs and would rather them be uncomfortable for a second with a correction than be hurt or killed by performing dangerous activities. For more information or to set up a behavioral assessment, contact us by phone at (309) 798-3060 or by email at [email protected]

That look you give when it takes your trainer all day to realize you're too short to drink out of the regular water bucket 😂 Sorry Bonnie!

I'm convinced this is not a dog, but a chaos demon in a dog suit.

Fun with Squirrelly Pearly

I'm looking for a dog to do free day training with to finish a certification. This dog needs to NOT know sit and/or down and heel. They also will need to enjoy tug or fetch. If you or someone you know have a dog that fits this criteria, please message me!

Edit: I'm looking for a young to middle age adult dog that has a strong desire to play already. I need to train them either sit or down and heel on verbal cue only using play and negative reinforcement. So a young puppy is not the right candidate.

Edit 2: I may have found a candidate but still send me your information as well in case I can't use him. Thanks all!

Got to meet this handsome boy the other night. It was hard getting a good picture because as soon as he warmed up to me he didn't want to leave my side long enough for the picture. 🩷

My girl Hatti has been making huge strides in building confidence and over coming her fear of dogs after she was attacked by some loose dogs. We didn't see many dogs today but the few we did see didn't bother her. ❤️

I have to brag on this guy! Rampage is boarding with me this week and I'm getting to see the fruits of his parents efforts. Instead of loosing his mind at the goats, he noticed them, observed them with curiosity, and then made the choice to come back to me like it was no big deal. Great job buddy!

Let's do some body language. What do you see in this interaction? Should I be worried about this behavior or are we just having fun? Full speed at the beginning and then slowed down at the end.
