🐾 Meet Ginger! 🐾

This sweet pup just started her 4-week puppy program with us, and she’s already learning all the important foundations she’ll need to thrive at home. From obedience basics to good manners and confidence building, Ginger is on her way to becoming the well-rounded companion her family deserves. 💛

We love seeing puppies at this stage—everything is new, exciting, and full of potential! ✨

Stay tuned for updates as Ginger grows through her program. 🐶👏

🚨 Meet Lupo! 🚨

This handsome German Shepherd has a TON of energy—which has been a challenge for his family both inside the house and out in the yard. He’s here with us to learn how to contain and channel that energy the right way.

We’ll be teaching Lupo how to properly “turn the switch on and off”—knowing when it’s time to play and work, and when it’s time to relax and settle. With structure, consistency, and the right guidance, he’s on his way to becoming the calm, controlled companion his family needs. 🐾💪

Stay tuned for his journey!

🐾 Meet Buster 🐾

Buster’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. He was rescued by his owner from a junkyard, where life gave him little structure, guidance, or stimulation. After a few weeks in his new home, it became clear that Buster was carrying some baggage—showing signs of reactivity and aggression that stemmed from a lack of obedience, boundaries, and proper outlets for his energy.

Now, Buster is here to start a new chapter. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be working on building his obedience, reducing his reactivity, and addressing his aggression. With the right training, consistency, and care, Buster will learn how to channel his energy into focus and confidence instead of frustration.

We’re excited to help Buster and his owner strengthen their bond and set him up for success. 💪🐶

We Need Your Help

🚨🐾 DynaDogs Community Update 🐾🚨

Last year, we partnered with Dyna Electric to create a nonprofit program called DynaDogs. Our mission is simple but powerful: to produce, train, and donate well-rounded police patrol and therapy dogs to agencies in need.

As some of you know, our very first donation went to the Putnam Police Department — K9 Quinn, a 2-year-old Black Lab who now serves as their therapy dog. 💙

Today, we’re excited to share that we’ve entered into a contract with the Willimantic Police Department to produce two dual-purpose patrol K9s. We have already selected their partners:
🐕‍🦺 K9 Drogo
🐕‍🦺 K9 Ranger
Both are locally bred and have been training with V3 Canine Academy for the past month to prepare for their careers in service.

In addition, WPD will be partnering with V3 to host their Police K9 Academy in-house — an incredible opportunity to shape the next generation of working dogs and handlers.

We are incredibly proud of this new chapter. These dogs are exceptional, and we have no doubt they will make a huge difference on patrol.

👉 However, producing and training these K9s comes at a cost of nearly $20,000. To make this possible, we are asking for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, directly helps provide the training, care, and resources needed to bring these dogs to the community.

If you have any questions about this program, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll also be hosting several fundraiser events in the coming months — stay tuned for more details!

Together, we can make a lasting impact by supporting the safety of our officers, our community, and the bond between K9s and their handlers. 💙🐾

K9 Drogo working with his new handler Ofc. Giller. Drogo is being donated by DynaDogs to the Willimantic Police Department. Drogo was bred in the NY State by a close friend of V3 Canine Academy . V3 has been building Drogo up the past 4 weeks working on his bite work, tracking, and hunt drive to make an easy transition into the K9 Academy.

🎉 Congratulations to our Tier 1 Decoy Academy Graduates! 🎉

Over the past 3 rigorous days, these dedicated individuals pushed themselves through intense training—learning proper bite work, safe and effective techniques, and how to mark favorable behaviors. Their hard work and commitment have prepared them to be safe, reliable, and skilled decoys.

This marks our third Tier 1 course of the year here in the Northeast, bringing our total to 42 newly trained, safe decoys in 2025. 💪🐕

A huge thank you goes out to the K9 handlers who brought their dogs and made this training possible. Without the dogs, we can’t teach the course — and your willingness to participate not only supported the decoys, but also strengthened the K9 community as a whole.

We’re proud of each graduate for stepping up to this demanding role and for contributing to safer, more effective training for working dogs everywhere. The standard you set today will ripple forward in every dog you help train.
