It’s that time of year, we’re making resolutions for ourselves - sometimes fitness/diet related. Well what if we suggested that you make a resolution for your dog…

So let me ask you… can you pinch an inch on your dog? If so let’s talk…

The ideal condition is described as “outline of ribs can be easily felt. Waist can be observed behind the ribs when viewed from above. ABDOMINAL TUCK IS PRESENT.”

Overweight dogs are more prone to arthritis, diabetes, a shorten lifespan AND BEHAVIORAL ISSUES.

Let’s get our dogs back into shape! Give us a call to see how we can help!

Your Dog's SUPERPOWER!

Nose work is an awesome way to help a reactive dog chill out and feel more confident. Here’s why it’s so effective: Takes their mind off triggers: When your dog is focused on sniffing out a scent, they’re way less likely to get reactive. It gives them something positive to concentrate on instead of whatever is stressing them out. Boosts confidence: Every time they successfully find a scent, it’s like a little win for them. Over time, they start feeling more sure of themselves, which is great if they’re nervous or anxious. Mental workout: Sniffing around for scents is tiring in a good way! It works their brain, which helps burn off some energy and reduces stress. Encourages independence: While they’re hunting for a scent, they’re making decisions on their own, which can really help a shy dog feel more in control. Safe and low pressure: Nose work can be done in a calm environment, so your dog doesn’t have to deal with other distractions. This makes it easier for them to focus and relax. Strengthens your bond: Doing nose work together builds trust and improves how you communicate with each other. Overall, it’s a fun, low-stress way to help your dog work through reactivity while gaining confidence. Plus, they get to use their natural sniffing skills, which makes them super happy! #grassrootsk9 #nosework #dogsofmaryland #dogtraining #marylanddogtrainer #detection #tracking

Jumping is a habit!

If we control the environment we can control the dog. Limit the reinforcement by thinking smarter and using the environment. Being mindful about how you handle the leash and use of x-pens and backties to help with these interactions. #dogtraining #puppytraining #marylanddogtrainer #dogsofmaryland

Success in meeting your training goals is about having REALISTIC expectations. This requires to you to account for the dog’s age, genetic limitations, and environment. With all dogs but ESPECIALLY PUPPIES it’s more realistic to limit the opportunities for unwanted behavior by creating an environment that’s conducive to your dog’s success. Spaces shape behavior! Comment below with your training goals with your dog? Be realistic. --- #grassrootsk9 #dogsofmaryland #dogtraining #dogtrainer #marylanddogtrainer

Paws in the Park

Come say hi 👋

Crate’s are extremely effective for potty training and keeping our puppies safe from self-destructive behaviors. So as soon as your puppy is potty trained and/or grows up it seems the crate gets left behind. Crate’s do way more for our dog than just help them learn when/where to go the bathroom and limit opportunites from destroying your house. The crate provides clear boundaries, a task that rewards the dog for being calm and MOST IMPORTANTLY a place of their own that keeps them safe. When we take away the crate our dogs can become overstimulated desperately looking for something to always do and unsure of expectations. This restfulness and uncertainty can result in fear, reactivity, anxiety and excessive tendencies as they no longer have a space where they’re rewarded for being calm, feel safe and/or feel like they do anything ‘right.’ Let us help you reintroduce a safe space back into their life. —- #grassrootsk9 #cratetraining #dogtraining #marylanddogs #dogsofmaryland #marylanddogs #marylanddogtraining

Maryland are you ready for Grassroots K9?

Grassroots K9 aims to provide a friendly inviting experience for everything dog! Head Trainer and Founder Michael Nezbeth established Grassroots K9 with one goal in mind.. provide custom training to his clients lifestyle and needs from the K9. This vision was created when Michael became a father. He desired to have a family friendly dog and one that would protect his house hold if needed. Through vigorous studying and training, Michael used his background in Psychology and Sociology to create Grassroots K9. Since his startup Michael has successfully worked with the everyday household pets to military trained K9’s. His diverse training has aided police force K9's, numerous households and their pets. Grassroots K9 is established to meet the increasing demand for expert training for dogs in all disciplines.

With now expanding to Maryland, Grassroots K9 is happy to announce that Trainer Kelsey Como will be running and operating this location. She has dedicated years to learning and understanding dog behaviour. Her apprenticeship under Michael Nezbeth has taught her valuable skills that she is looking forward to sharing with all her clients in Maryland.

The in depth knowledge of animal behaviour allows us to develop a customized training program designed for each client and their dog. We believe dog behavioural issues generally come from three main areas:

nutrition;
