Even with a hurt wheel, food is life for Sir Francis! Full team effort searching high and low, to include searching through a marsh (Frankie decided to step on some glass and got himself 3 stitches). But another dude off the street and now Mr Frankie gets a few weeks to rest (as if that will ever happen!)

As Frankie is getting ready to finish up EOD School and get back on the street, an amazing company called K9Invest is trying to do some fundraising to supply him with a soft body armor protective vest. Unfortunately, many K9 units around the country, do not have the funding to supply every dog with body armor. But through the amazing work of organizations like K9Invest, Frankie will be able to do his job while being as safe as possible.

Please share the link and lets see if we can get Frankie the gear he needs! Thanks everyone!

Where has GSC been you ask? Well Frankie are I have been making our way through K9 Explosive Detection school. Its a 10 week school with training locations all around the Greater Boston Area (that means ALOT of driving for this NH K9 Team!)

It is incredible to watch a dog come into a gym, catch the odor around half court and work until they find the exact location of the source. Pretty small amount of explosive hidden under the basketball hoop.

Hey Everyone!! Sorry we have been away for a while... with the New Year came a pretty busy few months! But the good news is we are back and we hope 2021 is treating you all well so far! New training videos and posts will be on the way, so if you have any questions or are having trouble with your Pup let us know and we can help you figure it out!

Merry Christmas from assistant trainer Heidi and all of us at Granite State Canine! Hoping your day is full of belly rubs and special treats!

Pro tip: once the snow comes, switch from a ball to a frisbee. That way you won’t lose any balls if your dog can’t find it in the snow! 🎾 ❄️ Heidi is normally quite skilled at sniffing them out, but full disclosure - we may have lost a ball earlier this week. It will be a fun surprise when we find it in the Spring 🤷‍♂️

For those of you thinking about bringing a pooch home during this holiday season. If you have questions/concerns or are feeling overwhelmed, reach out! Homes are better with dogs!

Little Kids & Dogs 👶🐕 a match made in heaven? With the right training and consistency, YES! This requires training both your 4-legged AND your 2-legged kids. Starting early is ideal, but it’s never too late, and we can help! Check the comments to see Madeline’s “gentle hands” and check out our stories for the outtakes 😝

To Bark or Not to Bark... That is the Question!

Does your dog park when someone comes to the door? Do you want that behavior? Let’s talk about it!

Timing is Everything!

With praise or correction, perfect timing makes for effective training!

No Look, No Touch, No Talk -

Does you dog jump on you as soon as you come through the door? Let’s fix that by doing nothing (literally)! 😎

Bro Time - A nightly tradition! 2 dudes hanging out, fire going, war movie playing.... the companionship you get from a dog is unmatched! What do you love most about being a dog owner??

My my, grandmother, what big ears you have...🐺👵 We love a little Halloween fun! Bill doesn’t usually like to put dogs in costumes, but when she makes the perfect costume buddy with your daughter, you indulge your wife! *No assistant trainers were harmed in the making of this photo op...just embarrassed! How are you celebrating Halloween with your pups?

Just a Thought! Today is a good day! Get outside with the Pooch!

The importance of obedience can’t be overstated. Not only does it help your dog understand that you’re in charge, but it is also really practical when you’re out in the real world. There are so many distractions for dogs - SQUIRREL?!🐿 - or in this case, realizing Mama is nearby, and it gives you peace of mind knowing your dog will respond to voice commands. This can allow for more freedom when it comes to letting your dog off leash (where appropriate). Consistent training is the foundation.

Just a thought...Your mindset during training and how it will affect your dog.
