We’re rolling out a fresh new name — Reeds K9 Training is now Canine Conductor Co. 🎉🐾

Same expert training, same passionate team, brand-new name that reflects our next stop on the journey!

Why the change? We’re expanding our services and our vision — and we wanted a name that captures our momentum, energy, and commitment to helping your pups stay on the right track. 🚂🐶

Don’t worry — everything you love about us is staying the same (and getting even better). From personalized training programs to top-notch care, we’re still your trusted partner in all things canine.

Stay tuned for more updates, exciting offerings, and a whole lot of tail-wagging fun under our new name, Canine Conductor Co. 💼🐾

We LOVED having Freya here with us, and helping her on her journey to her forever home! We are also EXTRA happy that we still get to see her for daycare with her buddy Kai 🩷

Dear Friends and Clients,
We know how much you love your pets, and we love caring for them. After careful consideration and discussion, within the consortium, a difficult decision has been made. It breaks our hearts to announce that due to the severe veterinarian shortage in Minot, a situation made even more challenging by the closure of a local veterinary clinic, we must adjust our after-hours emergency care. Starting now, we will no longer be available for emergencies on Thursday nights and one weekend each month. We know this creates a difficult situation, and we are truly sorry. We’re committed to your pet’s well-being and will do everything we can to support you during our regular hours and guidance finding emergency assistance. We appreciate your understanding during this challenging time.

When you have clear boundaries with your dog, everyone wins. It keeps your sanity in tact and your dog safe while offering them predictability– something that is key to their mental wellbeing in our confusing, complicated, and often scary human world. It’s also important to look at boundaries for dogs as a two-way street: you want your dog to follow your boundaries, and in turn you should follow theirs.

Some boundaries we might set for our dogs could be:
-Not coming into the kitchen while you are cooking.
-Walking nicely on a leash.
-Not jumping on you when you walk through the door.

Some boundaries our dogs might have that are important for us to respect:
-Not bothering them when they are sleeping or eating.
-Letting them leave a space they are not comfortable in.
-Not petting them when they don’t want to be pet.
Learning and respecting our dog’s boundaries can get tricky, as dog communication can start really subtle. For example, a growl is a lot more noticeable than a lip lick, even though they both serve the same function.

Teaching your dog to stay may be one of the most basic commands, but it is equally one of the most important! If your dog cannot hold his stay, with distractions, for a period of time more than 10 minutes, we really need to practice. You’d be surprised by how easy this is to teach.

Here are some basic tips that I want you to start with.

1. Always use a leash.

2. You want to start with a physical location when teaching stay, and we typically use the dogs bed.

3. If your dog can only stay for 10 seconds, start there. Every 10 seconds I want you to say yes, walk up to your dog and give them a treat, and then take a few steps back . Your dog is only allowed to release if given a release word like break, release or free.

4. Practice daily, slowly having your dog stay for a longer amount of time.

-never call your dog to you when teaching a stay/place command, this often confusion them and encourages the dog to break the command to follow you.

Now that the craziness of the holidays are over, we can all finally take a breath! We want to thank everyone who has supported our small business and our new rescue, we couldnt do it without you!

We also want to take this time to remind everyone of our hours. We are open to the public from 7:30-8:30am & 4:30-5:30pm including all holidays. These times are specifically set for our clients to pick up & drop off their dogs for boarding, daycare and grooming.

This allows us to give our full attention to the dogs in our care, making sure our pups receive maximum play time and keeping them safe/monitored during every aspect of their stay.

We understand that life gets crazy and travel can be unperdictable, that is why we dont charge for AM pick ups for boarding incase you get in late. We also don't mind being flexible for our clients on base or who are coming from out of town as long as their is COMMUNICATION and a pre-approved plan.

If at any point you are unsure of your dates/times or want to book , you can download our free app for Apple & Android - "Reeds K9 Training" or shoot us a text @ 701-935-3647
