Coco, Jaro and Murphy take on Home Depot!
Our puppies in training took on Home Depot today for their first field trip!
We worked on loose leash walking, other obedience cues, focusing on their handler, confidence building and socializing in a new environment!
Here’s a clip of them showing off their focus and heeling skills!
Exciting Update! 🌟
We are thrilled to share Saint’s latest progress in his training journey! Check out this video of him practicing trailing, a specialized form of odor detection used to locate live humans. Saint's high energy and exceptional working dog instincts are truly coming to the forefront, and he’s proving to be an outstanding detection dog in the making. It’s incredible to see him channel his natural abilities into such a vital and impactful role.
Stay tuned for more updates on Saint’s amazing journey! 🐾✨

Working with a Nervous Dog: Booger
Booger originally wasn’t comfortable being around strangers and even had a history of rushing and nipping people who lived with him.
We’re finally to a point in his training that he can handle loud noises, odd objects passing him and even people in his general area!
If you have a dog that is similar to Booger’s prior behaviors, reach out for a free consult!
Penny and Swayze went with our trainer Macey to check out Tractor Supply!
This isn’t their first visit but Swayze has definitely improved from being a buck wild, pushy boy.
Penny is still working on building her confidence up but she was okay to take some treats from sone strangers and made friends with the buggy that she was so nervous of at first! We definitely see improvements with her ability to be a brave girl.
A little progress video of my first field trip, second, and 4th field trip with Chulola since she’s been with us at BDK9.
While she’s not exactly on our normal timeline for most dogs finishing their 3rd week, she’s showing tremendous improvement!
Every dog has their own learning curve to overcome which sometimes leads to some dogs taking a little longer than others to reach those goals.
Here at BDK9, you’re paying for a level of training, no matter the time frame. We do not rush dogs if they are not ready for the next steps in success.
We also take time to build a great relationship with any of our dogs in training to help them in times of stress like you see with Chulola here and the cart at Home Depot.
She startled, I allowed her to reposition but didn’t allow her to run away and hide, and once she collected herself we started working again.
The next time she sees a loud cart she will remember that it wasn’t actually that scary and we went on about our business.
Stay tuned for more success videos!
“What does a fully trained dog” look like?
I get asked that question a lot while I am out practicing with a dog that is very new to the life of training.
Here’s a great example from earlier this year by two dogs that were almost finished with our 6 week boarding and training program!
Piper is graduating to level 2 obedience!
Check this girls “Down-Stay” being built to further and further distances 😊
Tovi will be graduating around November- December and her person cannot wait! By the time she graduates, Tovi’s tasks will be solid in all environments. Right now she is trained to interrupt negative stand such as Trichotillomania (the urge to pick at your scalp, eyebrows, hair) that is, in this case, brought on by chronic anxiety. She is also trained for Deep Pressure Therapy and (slight) crowd control maneuvers.

Daisy, the service dog puppy, was able to pick out her FIRST collar! As an official member of the BossDog K9 pack, we felt it only fitting to let her pick her aesthetic 😉 Daisy will be in training for the next year and a half as an child autism assistant service dog! Some of the tasks we will teach her will be #DeepPressureTherapy - #Stimming Interruptions - #Scent #Trailing - #Tethering - These tasks trained on a #ServiceDog can mean the world of a difference on those diagnosed with autism as well as their family! Daisy is going to make someone’s life so much better and we are so happy to watch this miracle in the process!
