No matter what training program you decide these three words are key! 🔑
Consistency: Everybody in your household or that handles your dog must follow the “training rules”. You cannot have spouses, a dog walker, and kids all with different rules and think just because a trainer is involved there will be progress. You will just confuse the dog and they will not follow training or they will only respect those that hold them accountable and enforce the training.

Repetition: This goes hand in hand with consistency. By repeatedly practicing or enforcing the training you are going to allow the dog that learns by muscle memory to make more progress and advance.

You cannot complete a training program and make no changes. You cannot complete a training program and alter it to what you want to or don’t want to follow. We set guidelines in place to address the dog’s issues.

A few examples. If you struggle with leash walking…you cannot then begin walking your dog in a harness and retractable leash and assume problems are fixed because you did training. No. We establish the tool that works for your dog and the position of a walk at our side. You cannot train a dog and then send them to play groups, day care, dog parks and then say they have bad behaviors. You cannot e collar train a dog and then decide partway through one person didn’t agree because they are uneducated and expect to now go back to only training with no tools and get the same progression.

This handsome man recently boarded with us! We also completed a bit of a behavior assessment and he passed with flying colors before we drove him home and delivered him to his family as they arrived from the airport to avoid one less thing to do as they got home😊

Small Safety Rant🐶

I feel as though many people use commercial style boarding facilities or chains because 1-they feel it is most reliable and 2-they want the socialization for their dog. My biggest red flag is the safety of animals. The other night locally was a perfect example. A very popular commercial boarding facility where dogs are left UNATTENDED OVERNIGHT. Thank goodness the alert system worked and police arrived and acted swiftly to save all animals.

I think people should consider both the pros and cons of where they board their dogs. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Think of these situations and know their plans of actions and timing. Think how many times your dog has cried left alone at night, needs to go to the bathroom, smoke alarms etc….and then to board them somewhere they are not tended to at those times immediately. Think how can X amount of employees per X amount of dogs be safe. Don’t assume just because it is a commercial property, a chain facility etc. it is the safest bet.

Add in issues like sanitary and sickness concerns with large numbers of dogs, kennel environment compared to a home, and the false idea that socialization is 20+ dogs all free for all playing together.

On the contrary is the many individuals that board dogs in their home without any legal business.

Again, just wanted to put the thoughts in people’s minds to consider all factors of different places they use whether it be K9 Train Station, commercial facilities, or apps for hire and private in home individuals.

At K9 Train Station our animals are our absolute babies and this is one of our biggest fears. Bringing in a clients fur baby just adds to that and is why we strive to put safety with comfort as our top priorities❤️🐶
