🌟 Employee of the Year! 🌟

Although we don’t normally do this, some employees truly deserve to be put in the spotlight - and Megan is one of them!

From day one to a year in, she’s consistently shown the same level of effort, dedication, and hard work every single day. An employee that we don’t ever have to question if the job got done on her watch. As one of our incredible trainers and kennel techs, Megan leads by example and sets a standard of excellence for everyone around her.

We’re so proud to have V3 be your home, Megan. Having employees like you is truly priceless. Your consistency, drive, and reliability don’t go unnoticed - thank you for all that you do! 🧡🐾

Huge Weekend at the Hudson Valley Field Trial! 🏆

What an incredible weekend for the V3 team!

First up — Kimber brought home 1st place in Open Gun Dog out of 10 talented dogs! She ran big, forward, and finished strong — locking up on point with just minutes to spare. Thank you to judges Wayne Foster and Jim O’Shea for watching our girl and recognizing her effort. This one means a lot — we’ve been chasing a placement for a while, and she’s finally starting to put it all together.

And another huge highlight — Hawk took 1st place in Open Puppy! This young dog continues to impress us every time he hits the field. Big thanks to the judges for taking the time to watch my boy run.

Massive thanks to the Hudson Valley Club and all the volunteers who made this event happen. Great people, great dogs, and great competition — that’s what it’s all about.

🌟 The 4 C’s of Being a Dog Trainer & Business Owner 🌟

Success in the dog training world isn’t just about working with dogs — it’s about who you are as a trainer and leader. At V3, we believe every trainer and business owner should master the 4 C’s:

🐾 Competence – Skill and knowledge matter. Dogs (and their owners) rely on your ability to train effectively, adapt to challenges, and bring out the best in every situation. Competence builds trust and lasting results.

🐾 Connection – Training is about relationships. Building strong bonds with the dogs in your care, their owners, and your community creates loyalty and impact far beyond the training field.

🐾 Confidence – Dogs feed off your energy. Confidence shows in the way you handle situations, guide owners, and lead with authority. Without it, even the best techniques can fall flat.

🐾 Character – Integrity and values define your reputation. In this business, word of mouth is everything. Who you are when no one’s looking matters just as much as what you do on the training field.

👉 Master these 4 C’s, and you won’t just train dogs—you’ll build a business and legacy that lasts.

🐾 Welcome, Plum! 💜
This sweet girl is starting her 4-week on & off-leash obedience program here at V3 Gun Dogs & Canine Academy! Plum’s got tons of energy and excitement — which we love — but now it’s time to harness that drive and channel it into focus, calm, and control.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be working on:
✅ Structured obedience both on and off leash
✅ Calmness around distractions
✅ Learning to turn that excitement into engagement with her handler

She’s already showing us she’s got a ton of potential, and we can’t wait to see how far she goes! 💪🐶

🐾 Two New K9s Join the Willimantic Police Department! 🐾

DynaDogs is proud to announce the donation of two exceptional police K9s — Ranger and Drogo — to the Willimantic Police Department.

Ranger, a 1.5-year-old German Shepherd, was selected locally by V3 Canine Academy through Hop River Shepherds, Training of All Breeds, his breeder, who began his foundations in bitework and obedience.

Drogo, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, was also selected by V3 Canine Academy through a breeder in New York, where he received his foundational training in bitework and obedience.

Both dogs spent nearly two months with Jeremy Cormier, owner and head trainer at V3 Canine Academy, where they advanced their training in obedience, tracking, and narcotics detection.

Jeremy will continue to work closely with Officer Sullivan, who will serve as Ranger’s new handler, and Officer Giller, who will handle Drogo, as they progress through their K9 Academy.

This collaboration between DynaDogs, V3 Canine Academy, and local law enforcement represents our shared mission:

To produce, train, and donate healthy, clear-minded working dogs to agencies in need.

We’re honored to support the Willimantic Police Department and look forward to seeing Ranger and Drogo serve their community with courage and dedication.
