➡️Meeting Bubba in his home 🏡 with his owners, he was not only “reactive” but intently GUARDING 🚨 his owners with his natural instincts to protect. This behavior was not only in the home but in all environments when with his owners. Limiting the quality of life for them all. However this behavior came from a place based out of fear 😰 and distrust in the current relationship/leadership built between him and his owners. By no means was the “upside down” dynamic in the relationship created intentionally but through a disconnect in proper education📚 in the psychology behind canine 🐶 thinking 🧠 the specific needs of the breed,
behaviors, and how to open the line of clear communication 🗣️between species.🧍♀️🐕
✨✨Through advance obedience training for foundations and behavior modifications, rehabilitation focusing in rebuilding relationships, establishing proper leadership and communication, this family has been able to open doors for Bubba never thought to be possible, paving the way for an improved quality of life!!✨✨
‼️Seeking professional guidance in training your dog with fear aggression, reactivity, aggressive behaviors is essential to not only help understand the true needs of your dog but to SAFELY work your dog through their fears!‼️
🫶Helping dogs like Bubba and his family are my passion 🤍

4 year old Catahoula German shepherd mix breed LITTER MATES.
These gorgeous siblings & their owners have put in hard work, dedication and consistency to meet the needs this pack requires to remain safe and cohesive in their home! 💪🙌👏🫶🐾
⁉️LITTERMATE SYNDROME - this is typically seen in pups who come from the same litter of puppies and are raised together from birth OR in puppies who are very close in age being raised together from an early age. Behavioral challenges can begin to arise as the puppies develop and navigate sexual maturity (think teen transitional years). Behaviors that can be associated with littermate syndrome are:
➡️ FEAR: Fear of new people, animals, objects, or experiences
➡️ ANXIETY: Separation anxiety, crate issues, or issues when alone in new situations or environments
➡️ AGRESSION: Fear aggression, redirected aggression amongst each other, reactivity towards other animals and people
➡️ ATTACHMENT: Attachment to each other or difficulty bonding with others
Overexcitement, inability to relax, whining, howling, or excessive barking.
⁉️HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR LITTERMATES⁉️
Provide your pups with professional training assistance to help understand your dogs needs as individuals and as a pack if they are displaying these behavioral challenges individually or together!

Client Testimonial 🥰
I adopted Mister in the summer, met with Brittany a few weeks later for board training. Mister had terrible separation anxiety that we needed to address as well as obedience. Brittany not only trained Mister she trained me as well. I work with him everyday and I now have an obedient dog and I am able to leave him home without him being all stressed out, he is calm a waits by the door for me. Highly recommend this training program. Marybeth
Client Testimonial: 🙌 🥰
Brittany at K9 Konnection has been a lifesaver training our 1.5 doodle mix. Before starting with Brittany, he’d had training before but began developing aggressive and reactive behavior around other people and dogs. Our previous trainer was helpful to a certain point, but Brittany’s expertise was what he needed. Her training plan for him was completely customized based off of an initial observation appointment with her at our house. She’s not just helped train him, but she’s trained us on how to interact with him, which has been immensely helpful. She’s careful to explain everything she does with him and consistently communicates with us through the entire training period.
I can’t recommend Brittany’s services enough! She’s incredibly qualified and talented in the dog training space, and she’s changed our life with our dog. I’m attaching a photo of a training session with our dog, Rex, and another she brought to a training session. She treats Rex like her own, and every time he’s in her care I know he’s in great hands.
Having a blast working “Mister’s” retrieval!
How many people can say their career allows them to get paid playing with puppies at the park all day, while their children play!

✨I am so proud of this little guy and all his hard work! He’s done a fabulous job 🥰
☝️ next task is to transfer influence and bring along his mom up to speed!
🥸The key to our success is not only to come in and train your pup but to EDUCATE! Providing the proper education while learning effective training techniques are essential to successful training 🙌
