Dog training at 35,000 Ft.
Dog Training at 35,000ft
When a client says “Fly”, we at DZK9 Academy say “How high”? Maggie has finally gone home to her family to provide the services she was trained on for their son. So far, really good reports on how great she’s doing at their son’s school. 🔥🔥🔥
We as a collective group, thought it best to give Maggie the best experience possible to set her up for success. That meant, taking Maggie through the process of boarding a flight and training her at 35,000 ft! The TSA process can be grueling and incredibly difficult due to the amount of distractions, the speed at which they require you to pass through the metal detectors, and the impulse control/independence to hold her sit while you walk through first. The pat down of her vest needs to be handled without her puppy brain thinking someone is petting her for funsies! No jumping allowed! lol
This is all before the actual flight even happens. So many things can challenge the service animal like the speed of the airplane taking off and landing, the sounds of the jet engines or brakes when coming to a stop, even the proximity of the other people next to you when sitting during the flight. Challenging her to ignore her neighbors while dealing with those stresses were handled easily thanks to her foundational training received before and it set her up for success. So many compliments from the flight attendants and passengers about how she is a legit service dog compared to what they’ve seen in the past in their flight experiences.
We took a total of 3 flights to ensure Maggie was up to the challenge and boy did she deliver. We literally delivered her to her parents in Dallas Texas, so needless to say, it doesnt matter how far you are, we can help all the way from the hard working little town of Pleasanton Tx.
You send your kid to college out of state, why not your dog for the best education money can buy! Positive progress is what we care about at the DogZilla K9 Academy, and we’ll go out of our way to mak
Y’all. Look at this BEAUTY! Meet Lulu. She is a 4 yo GSP here to fine tune her skills and give her something productive to do with all that energy! General obedience is a great way to channel it into something productive. Let’s give her a warm welcome to the DZK9 Family!
Lots of new things always happening at DogZilla K9 Academy. I’m always looking at improvements for our lovable fur friends to have the best! Here’s a peak at our 6 months progress since beginning our brand new venture. Thank you all for your support as it’s been overwhelming and humbling.
1. Brand new signage!
2. Brand new SUV with Ruffland Transport crates and Rhino USA Ratchet straps.
3. Dedicated kennel room with Ruffland Crates, sound machine, industrial Dewalt fan for keeping cool and night lighting for comfortable overnight sleeping and storm noise control.
4. Brand New Dog Pacer Treadmill for confidence building and those rainy days when forced to stay in.
5. Brand new member addition to my family. A Belgian Mal named Rocket!
6. Merch! Stickers, poop bag dispensers, shirts, and baskets that will soon be available for purchase while your dog is staying with me for their boarding.
COMING SOON: Bathing and Nails add on before a dog goes home. Get your dog trained and smelling fresh with trimmed cut nails for their return home.
We were so happy to host Remi, Doug, and Mocha in our Board and Stay option. Board and Stay is a great choice for keeping training fresh instead of doggy day care where obedience isn’t a priority! Current clients get a great rate of $50 per night. New potential clients who have not completed a training program can still do a do a Board and Stay, but at a $75 rate! Enjoy these photos!
Pauly Heel Walking
Here’s a little of Pauly showing off her new heel walking skills! 😊
Here’s a highlight reel from Frank the Tank!!! I’m excited to see Stephanie today for her second follow up lesson of 3 to ensure he is still on track :)
Summertime vibes! We train hard, we play hard. 🔥☀️ 💦 General Obedience training is Uber important, but what we are building here at DogZilla K9 Academy is a community where we mix in fun with no training expectations. Thanks to all who came out today to enjoy the sun and pool!
Almost forgot to post this cute little guy doing a board and stay while his parents are on vacation! This is Maverick!
Ralphy spent a couple of nights with us this week and we had to take advantage of the time to work on his reactivity to kids! What better way to do that than to have him do commands like he would for an adult and going for a walk, which feels natural and normal to dogs! That helps set him at ease. This girl makes me so proud and her courage is admirable!___________________________ #dog #dogtraining #dogsoftexas #dogobedeince #dogzillak9academy #dzk9academy #dzk9 #Germanshepherd #germanshepherds #dogtrainer #dogtraining
