Meet The new face of CK9, Delilah 🌸

or Lilah for short, she is a 9 week old black Labrador Retriever. Her mom is .my.retriever, a pup we trained not too long ago. She’s got a lot of goals to accomplish but for now let’s enjoy this fun puppy stage! I hope to be able to make some puppy content along the way!

Discalimer* rant: I received a gift the other day, that came from my peers, co-workers, and most importantly my brothers. When I left Old Saybrook in 2020, there was no celebrating my departure because administration and I did not see eye to eye. (To put it lightly). They were so excited to see me go when I put in my two weeks, they manipulated the schedule so I only had a few days left instead of two weeks to slowly exit. A farewell lunch would have been nice- but let’s be honest- It would have been fake, and none of us would have really wanted to be there…

Regardless, Kendo and I put in a decade of incredibly selfless, tireless hard work and no one can take that from me. Even though I may have felt a certain way, I never let that bleed into my drive, perseverance or work. I trained 17 new hires in 10 years and poured every ounce of me into those new cops so that they could become great without me. I worked many hours outside of work, studying dog handling, just so we could be a little better for the next deployment. I gave everyone and everything a part of me along the way.

My reputation always entered the room before I did. My work ethic was known before you even got to know me.

The fact that my friends presented this gift to me is incredibly more meaningful than any acknowledgment from any administration could ever give. I truly didn’t know the impact of my work ethic had on those around me after all these years until my friends told me. I sobbed a lot with this gift (I’m still sobbing actually) not just because the of the loss of Kendo but because It feels beyond amazing to be recognized BY MY PEERS and I’m not quite sure I have the emotional capacity to really digest it all. I’m even more humbled than before, and feels really good to know all that gave wasn’t for nothing. Thank you for seeing me.

Cheers to you boys 🍻 I am eternally grateful for your unwavering love and support after all these years. Thank you for giving my heart a piece of home with all of you. ❤️

This young blue nose pit is with us for two weeks to learn some massive impulse control. When you sit on the couch you turn into a parkour obstacle. If you don’t give enough affection he will demand it by jumping head high at your face. When we first met he was a wild man now he’s only half wild. Dad has been doing the work putting in a foundation we can work off of to turn him in to a distinguished gentleman.

Let’s go Jmo!

Let me finally introduce our newest trainer … Kayla✨

Kayla graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a bachelors degree is psychology. Upon getting her first dog, Zara, she fell in love with dog training and everything that comes with it. She graduated with her bachelors degree two years early, determined to do whatever it takes to learn more about dog training to turn it into a full time career!

Flash forward to 2024, Kayla had the opportunity to learn about dog behavior, dog psychology and obedience training from Shannon and Haley when she participated in the “Shadow Shannon” program.

It was then when fate finally stopped Shannon from her chaotic life, and put her in front of an eager to learn Kayla. From that point on CK9 would never be the same. Kayla has been a silent force to reckon with. She has thrown herself at this career full force and has been living all things dog training. Her perserverence, passion and easy going disposition is admired by Shannon. It was and obvious “MUST HAVE HER ON THIS TEAM NOW” decision, without any second guessing or indecision.

Kayla has been with us for a total of 4 months so far, and Shannon is consistently wowed by her ability to learn, adapt, share her knowledge to owners and never ending tenacity to grown and learn more.

Please take the time to officially meet Kayla when you see her at the facility. She’s part of this big family now, and we couldn’t be happier!

… she’s doing so good, she has taken over as our GROUP PUPPY CLASS INSTRUCTOR!

We love you Kayla, welcome to the dog world❤️

Attention: April 11 will be our last day train option UNTIL June 3.

We are pausing day training for several reasons….

1- Vacation is scheduled March 14-March 22. We will be closed.

2- I have to undergo a radioactive iodine treatment for my thyroid cancer. This means I will be out of commission for about another week. The treatment hasn’t been scheduled yet, but since I am very hands on with training, we will be down a trainer, this leaving the staff with a very heavy load.

3- It’s time for a reboot. We need a short break and time to restructure day training. We are changing the objectives and purpose of day training which will allow us to take on more dogs at a time.

4- It’s time for owners to get proactive! We love working with your dogs and helping making them the best they can be, but we love watching you build the best relationship with your dog even more! Join us for large group class on Saturdays during the break, or pick up a 1:1 session to dive in deep with our direction!

If anyone has remaining unused day trains we hope you will hold on to them for June! Please reach out if you do not want to wait.

I greatly appreciate your understanding during this Pause… or rather… pivot…. PIVOT! (Friends reference there)

Yes, obedience plays a part in your dogs life. However, if you focus more on the everyday lessons of what is allowed versus what isn’t, you’ll start to see a shift.

Examples:
Waiting at doorways
Getting off furniture on command
Waiting for food
Releasing toys on command
Not jumping on counters or people
More breaks in the crate… EVEN WHEN YOU ARE HOME

… need help!? Reach out today!!

A week ago my shadow earned his wings. He taught me so many things about being brave and tough. But the main thing he taught me was how to love. ❤️ 💋

The reason my life’s path is the way it is, is all because of him 🖤
12 years ago we met. I was handed the leash and we went for a walk. He didn’t pull me. Not one single attempt. He wasn’t even obedience trained then. We strolled along the field like an old married couple even though we were 2 perfect strangers.
Even at a year old he was regal, wise, calm. Confident and always reserved his energy for when it was important. For 6 years we worked the streets. The past 5 years he’s been helping me train dogs. The shadow in the back quietly watching. Inserting his input when necessary. Since then We’ve helped approximately 500 dogs. Maybe more, but who’s counting.

He’s been through so many highs with me and so many lows. His favorite thing to do is to observe, on quiet guard.
If you happen to see him at the shop, feel free to give him loving or snacks. At 13.5 years old, he earned it . Love you K🖤

Tip of the day! A properly fitted prong collar should fit high and tight on your dog.

A too big prong collar will hang, sit low on the neck, and your dog will still pull.

If you are unsure how to properly and safely use a prong or fit a prong, Consult a professional balanced dog trainer

My goal with every client is, they don’t need me anymore…
✨
As much as I am a dog trainer, at the core I am actually a human trainer.

A lot of the time there is a broken relationship at the core of your dogs issues. I can take you and your dog to a successful level, but that relies solely on the amount of effort, time, and energy you as an owner puts in to rebuilding and shaping your lives together. The moment you decide to take your relationship to the next level, that’s when you don’t need me anymore… and that is what I strive for.

Wolfie completed his week long stay!!! Because of his advanced listening skills we were able to work on getting off leash trained and listening in high distraction environments within the one week we had him. He even started article searching to give this high energy shepherd a JOB and a PURPOSE. Watching him grow and give 110% in the process was a pleasure to see. I’m also really proud of my staff that got him to this level! 😍

Trust me… You will see Wolfie again around here, and we can’t wait!

Earlier this week Sophie graduated from our training program. She’s now started the next chapter of training where she’s out in public with her owner being exposed to more and more high distraction environment. When she turns one she will be testing to be a certified therapy dog for East Lyme PD. Keep a. Eye out for Sophie- you’ll be seeing her a lot!

As a behavioral trainer, one thing I often hear the most is…
“ I walk my dog 3-4 miles, multiple times a day.”
“We play all day long.”
“My dog has so much energy, It can’t sit still, so I’m always taking it out.”
“My dog is always going to the door to go out.”

This is one way that anxiety in dogs is built. Constant movement. Most dogs do not come with the ability to power down. There are certain breeds that are genetically wired to be more lazy or more calm than others, but we aren’t talking about those ones. We have to teach our dogs how to be still. We have to practice being calm, and we as owners have to understand that doing less is better than doing more. If your dog has no off switch and has rehearsed being on the go more often than not, you are going to have a harder time in the beginning. Stay. The. Course.
