What are the behavior struggles you had/are having with your dogs? Mild to moderate behavior problems like jumping or barking at guests.
I'm compiling a breakdown of how to handle common behavior struggles and want to include as many helpful topics as I can!

Today was graduation day for our group class! We were sad to miss Susan Nelson and Elizabeth Dawson.
It has been so much fun teaching this class. I love seeing the progress everyone makes .
Also can we appreciate the head tilt that G***k is rockin?😂
We have big things coming up!!
We have been planning this for awhile and I am pleased to announce it's coming to light!
We are now offering a Trick Group Class!
We are partnering with Polk County Humane Society Bolivar Missouri once again for this, and it will be following the obedience group class. It will be starting April 6th at 1:15-2 PM onsite at the Humane Society. This is a great way to have fun, build a closer bond with your pup, and teach them new things!
In this class we will learn spin/turn (turn in a circle both ways), paw ("shake"), touch (nose touch to hand), and more! This will give you a good foundation for other fun adventures like AKC Trick titles!
This is a 4 week class and it is $160 per pet. All pets must be polite and fully vaccinated but you don't have to have attended a group class to participate!
Mister Uno was tired after our lesson today 😆 it's hard work learning to be a good boy
Uno is such a sweet baby, I love working with him.
How he could still breathe with that nose placement is beyond me 😂
So stoked
Today was the first class with Polk County Humane Society Bolivar Missouri
It was amazing and I am so excited to do more with them. Aside from group class, I've been able to help them with a few of their more tricky residents to help ease the shelter stress and issues that arise with that.
I wish I could do more more frequently but unfortunately the distance and working full time prevents that
Normally during group classes I use Pickle as a demo dog to show how to apply leash pressure, play the attention game, etc.
However, this time I'm doing something a bit different. I will be using one of the longest residents of the shelter (over a year! He has been there since he was a puppy). This not only will help him learn the important behaviors and manners to be a decent member of society, but also will be much more real to help clients see results and exactly how to work through teaching new behaviors. Pickle has of course been working with me as a demo dog in advanced obedience for almost 3 years, so it's hard to show what the start of a behavior is. They just see the end picture.
Below is the story from the shelter of Fischer! Please consider adopting if you can or fostering! He will come with a foundation for sit, loose leash walking, coming when called and a place command (great for when guests come over and you want your buddy to be involved but not all up in your business)!
We will also work on manners like no jumping, mouthing, or barking.
Anyone who adopts Fischer (or another pet from PCHS, with proof of adoption) will get 10% off their first private lesson for in home! I will teach you all about his new commands!
Shilyer Fox
Hey...I am Fischer! I'm a 1 year old German Shepherd/Bloodhound/American Pit Bull Terrier mix (check photos for DNA results!!) As my name suggests, I loooove the water! On a hot summer day, you can find me splashing in the kiddie pool or playing with the hose! Who doesn't love playing in the water? I am looking for a swimming buddy, fishing mate or if you need a lifeguard, I am your guy. The staff tells me I need some work on being a little less in your face? I'm not sure what that means, I just like giving kisses! I don't have much on the concept of boundaries...I am working on it, but know the right family will continue to help me out. I really like other dogs, but takes me a little time to feel comfortable - might be the confidence thing. If you're looking to add some energy into your life, look no further! I'm full of energy and can't wait to play with you. I can't wait to meet you.

Hello everyone! Venture K9 will be starting new group classes July 17th. We are doing something a little bit differently this time to see how it goes. Instead of separating basic and intermediate obedience, we will do a merged class. Everyone and their pets will be worked at their level to ensure that you will get the most out of each class.
This will be a 6 week class, that meets once a week at 5-6 PM, on Mondays. We will have owner orientation week one (no dogs) and go over all the essential knowledge you need to best communicate with your pup.
We will learn behaviors like sit, come, down, place and loose leash walking as well as going over common problem struggles like jumping on guests, barking, and mouthing.
All dogs must be current on their Rabies, distemper/parvovirus, and bordetella vaccine to attend. Proof must be supplied on or before the first day of class.
Price for the 6 week course is $260 per pet attending. All breeds and ages are welcome.
If you pet has extreme fear, anxiety, or reactivity, we ask that you contact us to set up a consultation to go over a suitable lesson plan, as group class setting may not be appropriate right off the bat.

Paris doing her second session of "heel". Heeling is a very important skill for every dog. It makes walks more enjoyable for both tou and your canine partner, it can help for fearful or reactive dogs, and many other reasons. Paris is a service dog in training, so a polite, loose leash walk is an absolute must have for her. Her training has been slow due to her going through heartworm treatment but she's doing great and loves learning! So excited to see where she goes in her career Message us or call us at (417) 987-0067 to set up your lessons! Response times are typically 1-2 business days
