This picture pretty much sums things up for me.

This is what I do this for.

This look from Jib is what fuels me.
It’s what fulfills me.

When Jib arrived he was nervous of his new surroundings and had almost zero value in humans.
He didn’t care to interact with me much, just spent his time at a distance interacting with the environment.

But now? I can’t get this guy off my hip(in a healthy way)
He thinks I’m the coolest thing on the planet.
The way he looks at me with stars in his eyes just shows me how far we’ve truly come.
He is engaged, he is eager, and he loves to learn.

Building this relationship with dogs and teaching their owners to do the same is why I do what I do.

This is what I was made for.

Lost dogs always seem to find their way to me.
After leaving a client today we saw this sweet guy, BB, running along a busy street in New Braunfels and scooped him up.
The fireworks hadn’t even started yet!
Luckily he had a tag with a number and address so we were able to drive him straight home and his family was so pleased to have him back safely.
We are gonna do a private lesson with them to teach him about threshold manners. He slipped out the door without anyone noticing and took himself for a little stroll. Luckily he is back home safe and sound and we have been allowed the opportunity to teach him not to do that crazy s**t again!
This is your friendly reminder to identify your dog with collars, tags, microchips, etc. it took less than 10 minutes to grab him and get him back home safely. That is rarely the case as most dogs are unidentifiable and end up in shelters or worse.
Stay safe tonight!
Keep your pets inside. In their kennel. If they need to potty, take them on leash.
If your dog struggles with fireworks, work with them before the holidays come! Training and desensitizing your dog to fireworks could save their life and save you and them a lot of stress.
Shoot me a message if you need help and we can get you sorted before the 4th of July.

Beginner Leash Walking Introduction With Basil!

This video is meant to give you a clear understanding of how to introduce your dog to a proper heel.

This is by far not the only way to shape this behavior, and there are additional steps to clean it up and make it consistently reliable, but this video will be a great first step for those struggling with engagement and loose leash walking.

If you’d like additional or customized guidance, we offer private lessons, board and trains, and short term boarding with training!

Gracie learning place -> Gracie after learning place
Shelby learning place -> Shelby after learning place

Remember that sometimes just a simple training session with clear expectations can be more tiring and more fulfilling than an hour walk.
I’m not saying don’t walk your dog, but if you’re looking to tire them out, work their brain, not their body.

This is Noodle, formerly known as Omen. His full AKC name is actually MMKs Good Omen For The Wild, if we’re being technical. However. That name has evolved over the years to being mostly Noodle or Tony. The science behind this is as follows: Omen> Lomen> Lomen Noodle> Noodle Tony> Tony>Noodle>. Hope that clears things up! What did you intend to name your dog and what silly name has since taken its place? (And why, as pet owners, are we like this!?)

We are back from vacation!
Hit me up if you need to schedule a lesson, boarding or board and train!

Hunny was just here for refresher boarding after nearly 5 years and I was so impressed to see how well her training has been maintained. I love to see it!

Dedicated clients make dog trainers so happy.

Tessa would make the perfect addition to your family! We have spent time with her at the shelter and she’s such a sweetie. Please consider giving this girl a cozy home to live out the rest of her days🐾
GVK9 will donate 3 private lessons to help acclimate Tessa to home-life, to anyone who lets us know they adopted her🖤

She may be older, but that has not slowed her down. She still gets the zoomies and has plenty of energy.

Good Vibes K9 has Board and Train spots available! We are so pleased to offer individually tailored Board and Train programs to help your dog grow into its full potential! 🐾🐶

When you book a B&T with GVK9, your pup will spend between 4-6 weeks with us working on predetermined specific goals, fully customized to you and your pup’s needs. We specialize in basic and advanced obedience, behavior modification, off-leash reliability, and task training and public access training for service animals. We love working to tackle problem behaviors such as reactivity, dog aggression, pulling on-leash, resource guarding, etc., and are diligent in getting to the root cause of the issues, as opposed to addressing only the issues themselves🐾🐶

Whether you are just beginning your Service Dog journey or in need of brushing up tasks for an existing SD, we’ve got you covered. Our Service Dog specific Board and Trains are a great way to get you on track. Our beginner program will focus on teaching custom tasks, personalized cues based on the handler’s needs, intro to public access, and so much more.🐾🐶

Want to learn more? DM us, text us, or visit our website to book a free consultation call! We look so forward to meeting you and your dogs! 📲

Brandee and Eliza make such a good team!

Eliza is a service dog in training that is dealing with a little nervousness out in public.

We’ve pulled her from public access for a bit while we readdress her foundation and build her confidence in herself and in her handler.

We have seen massive improvements in only a few lessons, so I cannot wait to see this girl back in action and better than ever!

Everyone say hello to Izzy (left) and Rigby (right!)
We just got started with private lessons. Both pups are rather anxious and insecure. Izzy has typical little dog syndrome and both are possessive of mom. They have been fighting each other in the home which resulted in some pretty decent injuries to their handler while trying to separate them.
We are working to establish healthy boundaries, heal their relationship with their handler, and build their overall confidence and independence.
They’re wonderful little pups and their family is committed to making the necessary changes to improve everyone’s quality of life.
I’m proud of the progress we’ve made so far and I can’t wait to see how far they go!

Look at Bart go!
This may look like nothing, but when Bart arrived for his board and train he was afraid to leave his kennel, he was shaking and stressed with any interaction. So having him jump onto this bench and run around it playfully with no hesitation was huge! He was afraid to get onto a place cot, or even walk over the 2” drop at my back door. Needless to say this guy was afraid of his own shadow and everything in between. He had no trust in himself or those around him. We’ve been building a solid relationship and teaching him that life isn’t as scary as he once thought. Now he is approaching the world with curiosity and playfulness. He can be hesitant at times, sure, but the willingness and genuine interest in engaging rather than shutting down is a massive win. At 10 years old he has had a long time to settle into his anxious mindset, but his progress goes to show that it’s never too late!
Now Bart can live the rest of his long happy life free of the anxiety that’s been holding him back.
It’s such an honor and a privilege to aid him in this journey.
