Tactical day at the Willimantic K9 Academy.
It’s not all bite work and nose work — control is everything with these dogs. And before anyone comments about the ball being visible in this clip, this was their very first rep. It takes time and reps to fade out a reward marker from the movement.

This smart girl moved right along in her private lesson today, and wow- she impressed us! We’re so excited to see her progress over the next several weeks. She’s eager to please, picks up every task we give her, and brings such a positive attitude to each session. Huge shoutout to her mama, too-she’s just as committed and ready to learn right alongside her. A strong bond always starts with a dedicated handler! loves this sweeet golden eyed girl!
