First day of Dog Days of Summer 🐶

17/08/2024

Meet Lottie and Zellie!

These two girls were just 2 out of 4 Boston Terrier females within the home.

The both of them needed some in-home manners and boundaries. Even though these two girls were from the same breeder, related, and both Boston Terriers, they needed to be trained very differently! They had very contrasting personalities and we applied different styles to their training programs.

No two dogs are the same, and it is very important as a trainer to train the individual dog that is in front of you. You must adapt!

Meet Chardonnay!

She’s the sweetest Rottweiler puppy who’s joined us for basic obedience, and to maybe one day become a SD for her handlers. 😊

With her we will be focusing on of course her obedience, but to also work on environmental soundness to ensure her confidence out in public. She has some big shoes to fill!

19/07/2024

Meet Charlie!

She’s a doodle who is a bit nervous around strangers.
We will be building some confidence within her, and working on building positive associations with strangers.

Meet Allie!

Allie is a rescue apbt mix, who unfortunately we’ve never had the pleasure to post about before. She ended up pretty severly tearing a muscle while having the zoomies in her living room, and was never able to return back to training due to it.

But, we would like to share the progress that we made with her during the months we had worked with her.

Allie was rescued and during her adoption progress it was made known that she was social and dog friendly. The couple who adopted her were looking for an easy going companion and a playmate to their children’s dog.

Well, once she was taken home it was very clear that Allie had some pretty severe dog aggression. She wasn’t just reactive, she actually wanted to fight other dogs. She found it enjoyable.

Allie, to this day, had some of the worst aggression we’ve ever seen in a dog. (And we’ve seen hundreds of dogs.) The rescue fabricated how social she was towards other animals and were not transparent, AT ALL.

So, her handlers did the responsible thing and enrolled her with us. Allie had so much reactivity it took weeks for us to safely even have a dog within her presence while maintaining her obedience. We spent countless hours reconditioning her to tolerate other dogs, and to be able to just walk down the street without trying to lunge after them.

Although we weren’t able to ever finish training her due to her injury.. her handlers learned some very valuable skills, and Allie definitely improved with her reactivity.

Allie has been on a pretty strict exercise restriction, and cannot go back to obedience, but we are glad we got to work with her!

PAWKOUR. 🐾

We are always challenging our clients to proof their “place” commands. Some dogs can be unsure of interacting and stepping onto unstable, loud, or even new surfaces.
Overcoming these fears creates confidence in dogs and it creates a bond of trust.

Some grads 🎓

12/06/2024

Meet Franklin!

He’s a Rottweiler puppy who’s joined us to work on basic obedience. We are very familiar with his family, as we helped train their other dog when she was younger. We are excited to work with Franklin and guide his handlers who are already very experienced and dog savvy.

Due to their previous dogs fear issues, we are going to make sure that this little man is going to be as confident as possible. He will be experiencing a lot of exposure, positive reinforcement, and working on environmentals.

Franklin already loves training, and has gotten a great head start. So follow him on his journey!

10/05/2024

Meet Royce!

He’s the cutest Golden Retriever puppy who will be working with us for a couple of months to work his obedience and of course his manners. He’s going to be so much fun!

07/05/2024

Today we are saying goodbye to Ava.

As you all know, she is one of our demo dogs, but more importantly a beloved family member.

Ava has had a huge impact on our business, and has helped hundreds of dogs throughout their training journeys. We wouldn’t be where we are today without her.

So please join us in saying goodbye to her, but also remembering her life, and all of the hard work she has blessed us with.

She will be greatly missed. ❤️

Squad Goals 😎

18/04/2024

Meet Apollo!

He’s a rescue APBT who has quite some history with dog aggression and occasional human reactivity. He has gotten into a few fights with the neighboring dogs and he has spiraled into a huge risk.

He has some serious issues, all which can be fixed or managed with the proper care. His handler is going to be working hard to fight for him to make sure he is able to stay in her care and not pose a risk anymore.

We just started our journey together, but he has quickly adapted to training, and really enjoys spending time working. He’s a dog that needs a job!

We will make sure to do updates on Apollo and his training journey with us.

10/04/2024

Meet Joey!

She’s a (mostly) Husky who we’ve been working with on obedience and some over arousal issues. She was adopted and was a bit wild with a very typical independent Husky attitude.

She’s doing very well with her obedience and is no longer becoming amped up when she sees other dogs. Reactive dogs used to really trigger her into reacting back, and she would lose total focus on her handlers. This no longer presents as an issue, and she can even calmly enjoy being in our group classes.

Good job Joey!

Sofie had her toe amputated a few weeks ago, and we are so happy to have her back in class! Here she is in action. 📸

Meet Paulie!

Happy ft. this Dutch Shepherd puppy.

Paulie comes from working lineage, and his personality is super spunky. He loves to bite, chew, bark, and has lots of attitude for such a young dog. Although he comes from working dogs, he is going to be an active pet for his family.

We will be working with this boy for a few months and giving him a proper outlet for his energy, and mouthy tendencies. Along with basic obedience, we will also be properly socializing him, and exposing him to dogs and people, so one day he can go to work with his dad.

Meet Teddy!

Teddy just joined our Reactive Rehabilitation program to work through his reactivity. He has some fear issues, and his lack of confidence has created some conflict within the home. We will also be addressing his dog reactivity, and making sure he is just in an overall better state of mind. 😊

13/03/2024

Working on duration during Group Class.

05/03/2024

Meet Harper!
He’s an XL Bully who’s already close to 100lbs at 9 months. 🫣 He’s a big boy who is training with us to fix his dog reactivity. Being his size it is very dangerous for him to lunge, pull, and try to fight other dogs. We have taught him a proper heel outside of the home and will be slowly introducing dogs so we can work through this reactivity and make sure his owners have a proper handle on him. Can’t wait to see his progression!

Meet Koa!

This big Rottweiler puppy will be working with us for the next few weeks to develop obedience. He has a lot of drive, and loves to work for his handlers. He is going to be fun to teach!

Group class at the 30th Annual Haddonfield Crafts & Fine Art Fesitval. 🎨 Thank you to @joegrazacting for allowing us to cool off and to also work in @miranosbarbershop 💈 💇‍♀️

Meet Alma! She’s the cuuutest Border Terrier puppy that we have been working with for the past few weeks. She’s super smart, motivated, and a real pleasure to train. We’ve been working on walking properly, place, sit, and all the other behaviors that come with puppyhood.

Our annual Halloween Parade! 🎃 👻 Thank you to all of our clients who participated! 🧡

Trunk or Treat at Sterling High School was a blast! Every year we bring out a group of dogs who have previously trained with us, or are in training, and allow hundreds of children and adults to interact with them. They’re all dressed up in costumes, and are always on their best behavior. And the dogs love it! It is great exposure for the dogs, but it is also a great teaching tool for dog owners everywhere. We are able to show off what a well-trained dog/puppy is capable of doing. We are here to help educate! Our group had such a fun time, and our dogs got endless amounts of pets and snuggles. 🧡

Over a year ago, we started training Mikey, the Service dog, for a child named Matthew. Mikey is tasked to ground Matthew and provide a sense of security for their family. Matthew has been practicing for a dance recital over the past few months. And of course, Mikey has been there to provide support for Matt and has even helped many of the other children involved. So, yesterday was the big day. It was the day Matthew and Mikey had to go on stage in front of a large audience to perform. And they did AMAZING! It was so heartwarming to see the amount of independence this boy has gained since we began training Mikey. We are so happy we were able to go out and support this team. 🧩 💙

Service Dog Mikey. 🐕‍🦺 When we first met the Levin family, they had just rescued a doodle puppy, and had named him Micheal. They had big goals for this puppy, and were unsure if they were obtainable. They wanted this puppy to grow into a service dog for their son, Matthew. Like responsible trainers, we were upfront and honest about how difficult, and possibly unattainable, this goal was. With that being in mind, he began his training journey. Mikey went through each and every program surpassing every obstacle we put in front of him. We made sure he was environmentally bombproof, and could work completely off leash. So, after a year, Mikey joined our Service Dog Program. We needed to teach him tasks, and make sure he could not just comfort Matthew, but anchor himself when Matthew tried to run off. So, while Matthew was being taught new skills such as holding on to a leash, and wearing a safety belt; K9 Standards spent countless hours with Mikey teaching him his new skills. This dog was to become this young boys lifeline. We are so proud to announce that Micheal has graduated his Service Dog Program, and is able to work with and for his kid. Mikey has been such blessing to this family, and has given Matthew so much more freedom and happiness. Thank you SO much for trusting us with training your dog. ❤️

It’s National Pet Day! 🐶 Take some time today to appreciate your training partner.

REACTIVE DOGS ARE GOOD DOGS.

24 dogs cleaning up their heeling skills at last nights group class.

We get asked pretty often, “Do you train small dogs?” And the answer is always… Of course! Here is Luna the mini golden doodle representing this morning. Isn’t she adorable in her snow suit? 😂

Just a daily reminder that your dog doesn’t need other dog friends. And quite a lot of dogs do not want to socialize. And you should be okay with that. Their fulfillment should come from their relationship with you. 😊

Having a bit of fun last night during class. We challenged our Advanced Obedience students to maintain a “place” while we pushed carts around @loweshomeimprovement. It was an easy task for this group!

Happy Halloween!

This weekend we took our Advanced Obedience students to a Food Truck & Craft Fesitval. All dogs worked completely off leash through hundreds of people while still maintaining obedience. They encountered brand new sounds, smells, and and distractions! We worked around a live band, next to the tempting picnic area, and in the busy craft section. It was such great exposure and a good test for all. Great work!

A peek into our Obedience classes.
