🐾 Meet Rocky 🐾

Rocky is a handsome German Shepherd here with us to work through some defensive behaviors and aggression issues. With the right structure, training, and leadership, he’s already making great progress! 💪🐶

Rocky also has a very rare genetic condition called Straight-Leg Syndrome. This is a congenital (present at birth) disorder that primarily affects German Shepherd puppies. Instead of developing normally, the muscles and tendons in the back legs become tight and shortened, causing the legs to stay stiff and straight rather than bending like they should.

Because of this, affected dogs often walk with a “stilted” gait, have difficulty sitting or lying down comfortably, and may struggle with balance or coordination. Unfortunately, there’s no cure—management is focused on keeping them comfortable, preventing strain, and helping them live their best life despite the condition.

Even with these challenges, Rocky doesn’t let anything hold him back. He’s strong, determined, and learning every day. We’re proud to be part of his journey! ❤️

🐾 Dogs of the Week! 🐾

Every pup brings their own story, quirks, and challenges into training and that’s what makes the journey so rewarding. This week we’ve had:
✨ Big smiles and even bigger progress
✨ First steps toward solid obedience and calm leash walking
✨ Adventures around town to practice real-life manners
✨ Plenty of play, structure, and confidence building

Whether it’s learning to heel, conquering new environments, or simply finding their focus each of these dogs is making strides and showing us just how capable they really are. 💪🐶

We’re so proud of them and can’t wait to see how far they’ll go! 💙

☀️🐾 Enjoying this beautiful Saturday with Arlo!

Instead of going into the dog park, Alexis, Arlo, and I are just hanging out nearby, soaking up the sunshine together. It’s a chance for us to enjoy the day as a little trio while Arlo takes in all the sights and sounds around him.

Since it’s Arlo’s last day with us, we wanted to slow things down, have some fun, and let him decompress before heading home. We’re so proud of the progress he’s made and grateful we got to spend this time with him. ❤️🐕

Genetics play a huge role when it comes to protection training.
Sure—you can work with a dog that doesn’t have strong genetics, but it’s just not the same as a dog that’s been bred for generations to be a protector. The difference really shows.

This is Arlo 👇
Lately we’ve been working on turning his natural energy and instincts into something more people-focused. No bite work—just teaching him to stay calm, alert, and aware of what’s going on around him.

It’s all about channeling what’s already there instead of forcing something that isn’t.

🐶 Training for everyday life.
📍 Clarksville, TN



✨ Fun Fact about Dobermans ✨

Dobermans were originally bred in Germany in the late 1800s by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, who wanted a loyal companion and a natural protector. They were designed to be alert, intelligent, and fearless—traits that still make them one of the most recognized protection breeds in the world today.

Dog hackles refer to the strip of hair along a dog’s back—typically running from the neck, between the shoulder blades, and sometimes down to the tail—that can stand up (piloerection) when the dog is experiencing heightened emotion.

🐕 What It Looks Like:
• Hair along the spine stands upright—like a mohawk.
• It may be just at the shoulders, down the back, or all the way to the tail.
• Often accompanied by body tension, a stiff posture, or other behavioral cues.

🐶What Raised Hackles On A Dog Can Mean:

Raised hackles don’t always mean aggression. They’re a sign of arousal, which can be emotional or physiological. The emotion could be:

😠 Aggression
Feeling threatened, guarding, warning a perceived threat.
😨 Fear/Anxiety
Nervous about a person, animal, or environment.
😲 Surprise/Startle
A quick response to something unexpected.
😃 Excitement/Arousal
Playful energy, intense interest, or overstimulation.

So, hackles alone don’t tell you the whole story—you need to read the dog’s entire body language.

🔍 Watch for These Alongside Hackles:

1: Stiff body, growling
- Defensive or offensive aggression
2: Tail tucked, ears back, avoiding eye contact
- Fear or stress
3: Loose body, wagging tail, play bow
- Playful excitement

✅ What to Do:
• Don’t panic just because you see raised hackles.
• Observe the full body language and context.
• Give the dog space if they seem unsure, tense, or overstimulated.
• Don’t punish—it may increase stress or fear.
• Redirect gently or increase distance if needed.

🏡✨ At NDK9, we believe in-home board and train gives your dog the best possible experience. Unlike a large facility, our program is built around real-life structure and daily living skills—the things your pup truly needs to succeed at home.

Instead of spending their days in a kennel run, dogs become part of the household, learning how to settle, respect boundaries, and thrive in a family environment. 🐾

On top of that, they get to go on real-world adventures with their trainer—walks in the neighborhood, trips to the park, visits to pet-friendly stores—experiences that make obedience and confidence training so much more practical and lasting. 🌿🚶‍♀️🐕

Because training shouldn’t just be commands—it should prepare your dog for life. ❤️
