Train your puppies and dogs to exit all doorways with manners. We insist on this for every dog at drop and train and teach this the first night of every beginner class. An open door should not be viewed as an opportunity to surge ahead or bolt. Josie and Faye are brand new to this round of prep school and just completed puppy class. They are incredibly cute and soaking up the training they are receiving.

Door manners is covered at every beginner class. How our dogs exit crates, gates and doors begins the day we bring them home This is a safety issue. Dogs tha...

Brand new puppy class offering!

For dogs between 3 and 6 months, your “puppy/dog” is growing up fast! They mature into adulthood quickly and now is the time to solidify your relationship. Your dog’s breed, age and s*x must be considered at this next critical period. Dogs, like people, vary in temperament and tendencies. We w...

Friday was a great day at a field with some level 2 dogs. We revisited attention on long line to address some heeling issues. It always goes back to long line and a constant work in progress for handlers to move their feet and change direction rather than restraining or pulling on the leash. Way to go class!

We had great distractions in the parking lot today. Trucks coming & going, fellow tenants in the parking lot and the passing train on the tracks. Nothing beats training outside in nice weather.

It's the last week to register for beginner obedience or the level 2 obedience. Both begin this week on Friday morning. Have you been out of class for more than a few months? It's never a bad idea to review the fundamentals of a beginner class. A solid foundation is the key to long term success.

The biggest congratulations to Jen and Luna! We traveled to Fargo this weekend for an obedience trial. It was their first weekend out in pursuit of their utility title. First trial weekend and they did it! Luna and Jen got their utility title in two days! I am so damn proud of this team. Luna is Jen's "A" dog and one of few clients over the years to pursue such a title with me.

Luna is one of those dog's that I remember forever as she's taught me more than I've taught her. This team is my ride or die duo. We train, travel and taunt each other (me and Jen mostly and that's each other outside of the dogs! LOL!) on a daily basis. What started off as a client relationship has grown into much more than that. I will forever be grateful for this team and their dedication and devotion to obedience training. Way to go BOTH OF YOU! đŸ˜đŸ„°đŸ€©đŸ„ł

I celebrated another year on this planet doing my favorite thing ever...obedience trials! It was a great weekend with friends and my two best boys, Brembo - The Ultimate AmStaff and Fiz.

Brembo - The Ultimate AmStaff decided to really make my weekend special gifting me with his UDX2 title and a nice chunk of OTCH points, including another first in open and utility. I love this boy and all he gives to me. He's truly a fabulous dog. Bernard Sheri one of the judges complimented me on his good looks too. He's a crowd pleaser wherever he goes.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I was a great one. I am really grateful my hubby and girls understanding & supporting my love of the obedience game while I was gone this weekend.

Oops and we got High Combined today as well. Thanks for the cherry on top Brembo!

Another great week of prep school has wrapped up. We have a variety of breeds and ages enrolled. Every dog is so good with attention and walking with a nice loose leash at all times. A couple are still working on the art of being quiet when waiting their turn but are improving. Grooming and handling are accepted by all. We are so grateful that we can spend more time outside with the nice weather!

Another good workout today at class for these great people and dogs!

At the request of my peeps I present butt shots of dogs instead of people. Well, everyone “but” Brett insisted. 😅

We really are the school of misfits. 😂 I’m okay with it. We have good laughs at class. And look at these good dogs! This group did a great job at class last night and I heard Otis loves his new toy. Way to upsell Jen. 😁 Best April Fools Day ever!

Ziggy is adorable. We adore Stephanie and had way too much fun at class tonight. Hey Steph did he get a toy????

Tonight we moved into tight quarters with a large group of dogs to work on management. After reflections from the obedience trial this weekend it was a perfect opportunity. Considering many of these dogs began training with leash reaction it was the perfect night to put them to the test. They all did great. I am so proud of my crew and their commitment to training.

Group down stays from back in the good ol’ days! #americankennelclub #gooddogs #trainingday

Look at this well behaved group! 😍 Sit stays!

My class today owes their dog an apology. 😅 This was human punishment for being unable to discern right from left. đŸ€“

We all start somewhere. Lisa never thought her dog could do things like this when she started . He was reactive and Aussie naughty. 😉 Look at him now. So proud of this team and their progress!

We had a little fun at class. Double recalls over jumps and several of these dogs used to be quite reactive.

Way to go Saturday class! Nice out of sight stays!

Exhilarated. Thats my word tonight! We started a new beginner novice tonight, followed by a new level 2. Do you see these dogs and people? See that boxer????? Rex was a hound (err, boxer) from hell and Brett was a mess when they started. Rex is holding a stand stay here while Brett is helping me with class. Say whut?! đŸ„° Kim and Atlas are one of my CDX title teams for 2023. 😍 I’m so damn proud of my small tribe at AQK9. Today was a long day. Homework sent to two classes and it’s nearly midnight. 💯 worth it. These people complete me. #dontquit #youcompleteme #youknowwhoyouare #minnesotadogs #ramseymn

Today on the way home from the obedience trial I got a call from a gentleman about a behavior issue with his dog. Oh, the irony. 😆 His dog acts as if he’s going to break the window of his truck when passing by other people and dogs. He has concerns about taking him to the dog park because there are some dogs he “just” growls at but others he will fight with. This dog continues to practice and perfect dangerous behaviors. Remember folks, these are the people you potentially encounter when deciding a dog park (or any park) is a good place to exercise or socialize your dog. Here’s a video of my boys having the time of their lives after the obedience trial today. I pick a nice clean field with good visibility to watch out for people who show up with dogs that are not reliable off or on leash so I can call my dogs in and load up. What do I mean by reliable on leash? The dog’s on a leash. He’s fine. No, he’s not. I will move away from that dog too. If it’s apparent the owner has little control on leash, chances are it could easily get off leash. Nobody or dog should feel threatened or intimidated by another dog in public. There’s a local park near my house that has a huge issue with off leash dogs that are not trained reliably. Local law enforcement and residents don’t seem to mind. Be aware no matter where you go. Stay safe out there and train your dog. Not only for yourself, but the rest of the world you’ll encounter. #anokamn #minnesotadogs #offleashtraining #Reliable

Fiz loves the teenagers and puppies. He’s always up for a good game of tag. #beagles #germanshepherd #tag

Real Life Results

Life is busy. It seems the one thing we all run out of is enough hours in the day to get everything done. We love our dogs and want to do life with our dogs. But sometimes they cause issues in life. At AQK9 we believe in solid foundational training from the day you bring your dog or puppy home. What if you can most effectively train and socialize your dog right from home or doing daily activities? We can save you time (and money) driving to training classes and allow more time for results at home and in public where it matters most. Real life results based on 20 + years of experience.
