Patrick Swayze once said, "They told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them, do you know what a dog smells like?" It smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, pure unconditional love. And in spite of all they've been through, they smell no resentment. So blessed that my house smells like dogs. "

With the holidays fast approaching. Be mindful that even an out going and friendly dog can be overwhelmed by multiple guests and relatives coming over to the house.
Watch for stress signals. Have a quiet space set up away from guests where your dog can rest and relax.
Asking guests to ignore your pup when first arriving to lower excitement and reinforce good manners. Setting boundaries and expectations can greatly increase your dogs comfortability in these types of situations.

A growl can have many reasons and should always be listened to. It's a warning and if ignored a dog may resort to escalating its warning to a snap or a bite.

Our puppy jumpstart Nova has completed her first week. She's brave, out going and sassy 😂
She has mastered a sit command, both verbal and hand signals. Crate training and potty training are going well. She's been meeting new people and appropriate dogs regularly. To help with her social skills. She's exposed to new sights and sounds daily. She's rocking her leash skills. So excited for her new owners to meet her in two weeks !

Even with the windows rolled down, the inside temperature of a CA will quickly rise to unsafe in the sun. Please leave dogs safely at home in this hot weather. Just 5 minutes can cause serious stress and harm to your dogs in this heat.

Our highlight of the week is miss Roxy! She has been learning the ins and outs of scent detection and she's an absolute natural. She is searching for a specific scent that she has been trained to look for . When she finds that scent she alerts to it by laying down. Scent work is an amazing sport for both dog and handler. Roxy is fast on her way to be a very accomplished search dog ! #dogtraining #dogsports #scentwork #smalldogsrock #trainyourdog

Our Story

Elite K9 was founded in 2009 by Hanna Myers. A Tacoma based trainer who has been working with dogs for the past 21 years. She started working with search and rescue dogs at the age of eight and has been hooked ever since. Elite K9 through Hanna’s direction has built a strong foundation of trust and communication between dog and owner. We rebuild relationships and strengthen bonds. Every training class is tailored to fit the needs of the individual and their dog. Classes are kept small, so as to insure each client and their dog gets adequate attention from the trainer. All dogs are vet checked and temperament tested before classes. This insures a safe working environment where everyone can learn and have fun.

Our trainers are experienced not only in dog behavior but also in communication. We teach you, the owner to become your dogs trainer, companion, leader and respected friend. Elite K9, through positive reinforcement training methods, coupled with cue and correction training, will guide you to a better working relationship with your companion
