Things have been busy over here at Packwise… and we LOVE IT. 🐶🐾

Private lessons, lots of dog boarding, and even some super fun touch up training programs have been happening on our end.

Who else is excited that it’s finally spring? 👋🏼 We sure are! Our warming weather means long days out enjoying the sunshine, group lesson dates to be announced soon, even more private lesson availability (since the sun isn’t going down at 5 pm anymore 🤣), and a bunch of very happy dogs. ☀️

New name?! YEP!
Welcome to Packwise Dog Training.

This name change was inspired by our deep belief that the key to long lasting training results and building the strongest relationship with your dog happens when you cater to a dog’s instinctual needs with a pack mentality.

We are in the works of this major rebranding, so we ask that you please be patient with us while we go through this transition.

Happy Training,
Kass

What is better than one Vizsla? Two!
Clove and Copper are housemates here for a joint 3-week train and board. While puppy Clove needs to work on her impulse control, fear based reactivity, and general manners, her big brother Copper is here to get a major confidence boost!! Both need SOS help with leash walking and creating a calm mindset so they can be the best siblings to their new human sister! Let’s get this working breed to work! 🤩

This is Finn 👋🏼 here for a 4-week behavioral rehab program.

Finn has an interesting story. 3 years ago, when he was just a little pup, Finn came to us for a 2 week train and board to work on everything a typical puppy struggles with. Sadly over the past few years Finn has experienced some traumatic situations, leaving him to now need rehab work.

Finn is a grade-a resource guarder, struggles with dog aggression, has low confidence, little to no food drive, hypervigilance, displays reactivity at the vet, and one intense prey drive.

I’m so happy to have Finn here and honored that we get to work with him and his owner on their training journey together. Big changes are in the making!

This is why I’ve been gone: This is Masen. 👶🏼🌱

Mase was born on June 17th and is the absolute best. Taking time off to heal after birth and spend time as a family was so wonderful and while I’m excited to be getting back to work, there have been some changes to my work plans. For the next five weeks, while my husband has his second leave from work and can be home full time with Mase, I’ll have a dog here for an intensive rehab program (intro to come soon 🥳🐶). After this pup completes her program, I will be waiting until next summer to dive back into train and boards. I want to cherish this first year with Mase, and am so thankful that I have the ability to take more time to be home with him.

Train and boards will be starting back up in full force late June 2023, and we already have two dogs booked for programs starting June 24th! So with that said here is your reminder to not wait to book a program because we do book up quick! 😜 During this time away from T&B programs, I will still be offering limited spaces for virtual coaching and in person lessons. I will also be focusing on creating FREE educational content to help guide people on their training journey. In addition to the free content, will have have exclusive subscriber only content coming live to our client portal in the coming months! 👩🏼‍💻

2023 will be a year of HUGE growth for Ally K9 Academy. We will be coming back with more programs, more content, and an amazing facility/training yard here on our property.

Stay tuned to meet Miss Siena- here for the next 5 weeks for her rehab program. 🐶♥️

The time has come! 🤗 My maternity leave will officially be starting at 6 pm MST on May 20th and I plan to return to work September 30th. While baby isn’t here yet, things are looking like he could arrive at any moment!

We are all booked up for the rest of this year for train and boards and will be opening up our new client consultations for 2023 t&b programs once I return. I want to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible clients for all of the love and support we have received leading up to this exciting life change and as we transition into parenthood! We are so thankful for this community we have.

Information for past and current clients:
I am still here to guide and support you! ♥️ Once my maternity leave officially starts this Friday evening, I ask that you please only use email as your means of communication if you have any training questions or concerns that need to be addressed. While I cannot make any guarantee that I will be checking my email during my leave, I may check it periodically.

We cannot wait for our sweet boy to join the Ally K9 Academy Pack and are so excited to raise him to know and love dogs just as deeply and passionately as we do. ✨

Ally K9 Academy teaches real world dog training. 🌏🐕

This means training for every day life: home manners, people coming over, a mail person knocking at the door, going out on a hike, hanging out on a dog-friendly patio, going on a walk in the neighborhood, visiting the farmers market… you name it.

We are here for real life. Training you and your dog through the real moments that can make or break you living the ultimate best life together. We are here for the trust, relationship, and leadership between you and your dog. We know addressing your dog’s mindset is the first step before addressing mechanics, and we believe in the process of layering, balance, and clear communication.

Bentley (second photo) graduated a few days back. He was an absolute firecracker when he got here, and needed a huge manners makeover. His dog and people reactivity was also a giant hurdle for his owners. Fast forward 4 weeks later, and he is hanging out at a cafe with another dog and people walking all around him. Trubel (first photo) graduated her program today a transformed dog. She arrived a ball of drive and anticipation with intense reactivity. We spent the past 4 weeks peeling back every layer and building a solid foundation to not only address her reactivity, but rehab her through it. Now she is calmly and confidently hanging out on dog friend patios able to enjoy lunch with her people instead of loosing her mind at a passing dog or jumping up on everyone around her.

This didn’t happen over night. It took WORK and will continue to take WORK. We looked at both of these dog’s pain points from a real world training perspective in order to create the perfect training game plan for them, and these are the beautiful results we got.

Are you ready to live your best life with your dog? Time goes by quickly, so don’t let your dog’s behaviors hold you back anymore. Check out our train and board programs on our website to learn more about how you can be living this kind of life with your dog, too.

*Please note that train and board programs book out months in advance and we do not have an immediate availability for any training programs*

Sir Bentley and his humans made it home safely, and from the second they left they wasted no time getting to work with him! Your dog coming home from a program isn’t the time for you to be soft and cozy with them, it is the time to buckle down and WORK. If you want the results you saw with your dog when they were here, you need to do exactly what I did when your dog was here. Down duration around other dogs, place time, nail dremeling, kennel time… Bentley’s owners knew once he went home they would need to step up and do all of this, and that’s exactly what they’ve done. So excited for these three to continue to learn and grow together. 🙌🏼

Downtown work with Trubel!

When she first arrived and I got to candidly see her dog reactivity, I knew we had our work cut out for us. Lunging, barking, hackles up… she was in her own world in those moments. The addiction she had to those outbursts was a strong one, and the high she got every time she lost her mind at another dog was just what she needed to fuel her addiction. This girl came here with tons drive, but needed to learn how to manage it and channel it in appropriate, acceptable ways. We had to peel back layer after layer so that we could truly address her reactivity.

Tomorrow is part one of her pick up and then she heads home Sunday morning. Her work is far from over, because there is no such thing as the work being over, but her owners are so ready and dedicated to this new lifestyle with her. I remember them saying they couldn’t even imagine taking her through a Home Depot, now they have the world at their fingertips to grow together as a team with Trubel. The goal is ALWAYS progress over perfection, and being apart of Trubel’s progress over this last month has been a true honor and joy.

We often call ourselves dog owners, when instead we are dog parents.

When you think of the word ownership, what comes to mind? Maybe owning a car or house. With ownership, maintenance is important. Getting regular oil changes and painting your house ever 5-10 years are all a part of having ownership.

Now let’s think of that same concept in terms of dog “ownership”. Attaching the word ownership to the relationship we have with our dogs implies that all that’s required is maintenance. Feeding them. Regular vet checks. However, having a dog needs to be so much more.

This is why you are a dog parent. The term parent implies that there is guidance, care, and love attached to that relationship. It also means that we need to guide our dogs the way parents guide their children. Being a parent means you’re going to have to make unpopular decisions for your child or dog because you have their best interest in mind. You know what is going to keep them safe and on the right course. Being a dog parent means you aren’t always going to be their “best friend” but instead you’re going to be their best leader as you navigate through life together.

If you’re currently living life with your dog as simply their owner, you’re not only doing a disservice to them but also to your relationship with them.
