Poppie the standard poodle is wrapping up her 2-week board and train with NDK9! This sweet girl came to us with some big energy—bolting through doors, pulling on leash, and getting way too excited when meeting people and dogs. Over the past two weeks, we’ve been working on impulse control, calm leash manners, and helping her channel that excitement in a more balanced way. She’s made amazing progress and is learning how to slow down and think before acting. Go Poppie! 🐩✨

Training isn’t just about obedience—it’s also about building trust and forming strong bonds with our board and trains during their time at NDK9. We’re so proud of Sadie for finally feeling comfortable enough to let her guard down and have some fun. Watching her come out of her shell has been such a joy!

Introducing Clifford—Our Gentle Giant in Training

Clifford is a rescue with a heart as big as his paws—and he’s officially starting his journey toward becoming a mobility support and seizure alert Service Dog here in Clarksville.

This big man is calm, kind, and incredibly intuitive. While his size is impressive, it’s his gentle soul that truly makes him stand out.

Over the coming months, we’ll be working on building his task work, sharpening his focus, and preparing him to be a life-changing partner for his handler. Clifford may have come from a rough past, but his future is nothing short of extraordinary.

Stay tuned—he’s just getting started.

Clarksville’s Got a New King—Meet Gurney!

This handsome 1-year-old Bernedoodle is settling into her 3-week Board & Train with us here in Clarksville!

Gurney’s goals?
• Master basic obedience
• Get comfy with grooming
• And most importantly—build some independence

He’s a total sweetheart, but he struggles when his older sister isn’t around (we’re talking full-on “lay down and wait” mode). We’re helping him gain confidence and realize he’s strong, capable, and doesn’t need backup to shine!

Watch out world—Gurney’s glow-up is coming.
