Lightning is here working on his basic obedience, leash manners, demand barking and more.

He's a very smart boy who is quickly excelling.

Lilly is ready for a foster or better yet, a forever home!

She is here for a couple weeks to learn her basic commands and manners, and she's doing great!

Lilly is a very smart, playful, and sweet girl. She loves all new people that she meets. Her dog friends, have to be the right friends though. She seems to prefer laid back males or young dogs.

We are hoping that a little training will help increase her chances of finding her forever home.

If you have questions about Lilly, please send me a message or reach out to our friends at Packin In The Pawz Dog Rescue.

And most importantly, please SHARE! ❤️🐾

On gloomy mornings we train inside and take some time to relax. PJ is about halfway through his board and train. He's a good boy, just young and strong.

PJ has selective hearing and is learning some manners while he is here. I'm happy to have you PJ! He's a smart boy and coming along nicely. Everyone have a good week!

I have the pleasure of fostering this little lady and she's a catch!

The clouds look too good to be real, BUT we are lucky to live and work in the sunshine state ☀️

Bella and PJ! Two different dogs from different homes, here to get some guidance.

Bella, Grey Brindle, is here because she gets sooo excited about other dogs on the leash that she lets out some concerning noises 😅. So she's here for some impulse control and desensitization to other dogs being around.

PJ (blonde boy) also loves other dogs but doesn't know when to stop playing or how to read other dog's cues. He's young and ambitious. So he will learn how to interact with other dogs as well as people in a positive way that works for him and us. True balance. 👌

I want to set up a pack walk for next weekend or during the week.

Comment whether a weekend or weekday is better, and the town that would be most convenient for you to travel to for this! Within the SWFL area. So fort Myers, Alva, Cape, Punta Gorda, LaBelle etc.

Aaaaand go!

Dog training and especially behavior modification, are not easy. There will be triumphs and there will be fails. There will be the easy dogs, and the dogs who test you.

There will be days that everyone is on track, and falling apart the next. There are no rock solid guarantees. Dogs are animals, they do make their own choices.

When they go home, if training is not continuing and consistent, it will start to fall apart. I encourage every one of you to please use my guidance after your dog comes home from a board and train. That's what I'm here for! It's part of what you get with your dogs stay.

On that note, everyone have a good day and take some time out of your day to train 😁

I had a medical emergency today, sorry if you have messaged me and I didn't respond. I'll be getting back to you all soon, thank you!

Hey guys, I'm going to be changing a few things in the near future. With board and trains as well as one on one lessons.

Is there a service that I don't offer that you'd like me to try and implement? Would love to hear feedback!

I could always start up pack walks again with enough interest. We would be in public indoors due to the heat of course.

Kaiya is a Dogo Argentino (possibly mixed) who's recently been rescued and adopted into a loving home. After a couple weeks of trying to teach her the ropes in her new home, her owners discovered, she's deaf!

Hearing and vision impaired dogs require a little bit of a different approach with training. They understood this and reached out.

Kaiya is spending some time here to work on a good foundation of basics as well as counter surfing, stealing laundry, and off leash work. She will also be doing some work with our resident cats as they do have a cat at home.

We look forward to building a better line of communication between Kaiya and her family.

Prim is here for 3-4 weeks to work on her obedience, her manners, and learning proper play with other dogs.

She's a sweet girl with a lot of energy and doesn't always know when to stop. We are going to help show her what's right and what's not, and have her be able to read the signals correctly from other dogs.

This is really important because even though she means well, other dogs may not tolerate her energy. This could result in getting bit or creating a fight. And she's too sweet for that, we don't want her opinion on other dogs to change.

We are also working on showing her that zoomies don't have to involve taking people's legs out from under them!

Here she is with her first friend (Ace from Big Hearts for Big Dogs Rescue ) Prim - left, Ace- right

Ace is a very tolerant and friendly dog so that's where we will start! Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Let's talk a little about what we do here at Kait's K9s.

We teach basic obedience to advanced as well as behavior modification. Behavior mod is most of what we do.

Some examples are:
Resource guarding
Reactivity
Jumping
Barking
Biting (playful and not)
Anxious behaviors
Fighting between dogs in the home
Barrier aggression and much, much more.

We work with local clients as well as a handful of rescues to help dogs in the system have a better chance at finding a home as well as avoiding behavioral euthanasia when possible.

My biggest thing is, I want to see why your dog is presenting these behaviors and get down to the real root of the issue and start there.

We work differently here, dogs learn things differently and at different paces. What works for some won't work for others.

I do not have a facility, I do not have specific "programs" for you to choose from, and I do not have a sales pitch. I like helping my clients find what works best for them and their dog.

So if you think you may need some help or guidance with your dog, feel free to reach out!

Having some trouble with training? Maybe your dog pulls on the leash, gets over excited by new people or animals, doesn't like their crate, or are going potty in the house? We can help you with all of that and much more. We have a two week board and train opening before I take some vacation time off, so now's your chance! We do what we like to call, lifestyle training. We train based on you and your dogs needs and wants. Public outings ✔️ Basic to advanced obedience ✔️ Crate and potty training ✔️ Jumping, biting, barking ✔️ We have even done swim lessons!! So reach out and see what we can do for you. Just look at Lady's leash skills, and she's not even done her board and train.

Stanley! Just over 3 weeks in and he's doing well. Not being reactive like he was, accepting new people into his circle, and rounding out nicely. We did a slow intro and took a walk with a friend. He took treats from her along the walk and showed positive interest.This was him just hanging out after, taking treats and direction from her.

1 week in with Stanley. We can fully handle Stanley, he's playing, he's eating, he's taking commands and corrections, and just a happy puppy. Why am I updating Stan's progress so much? I'll give you a little backstory. Stanley was adopted as a 4 month old puppy. He was getting increasingly vocal towards people as time went on. He had become fully reactive to people and dogs by 8 months old. The family did reach out for help. The first trainer told them he was a bite risk and couldn't help them. The second trainer had him come to their location everyday for 2 weeks, muzzled. No progress was made. He was sent home with an E-collar with no guidance on conditioning or use. (I have nothing against E-collars when used properly and for the right reasons) His family was desperate, Stanley was not fit for rehoming. By day 4 here, we were petting Stanley, we were getting tail wags, he was following directions and no longer attempting to bite in defense. Stanley's fear was mistaken for aggression. Stanley is just a scared puppy who needed a chance, not a monster. He was going to be considered for behavioral euthanasia due to the risk he posed and there seemed to be no happy outcome for him. Happy to say, that's not going to be his outcome. Always get second and third opinions and do your research on trainers. Can't wait for his continued progress! Video of Stanley at the vet before coming here in the comments. Shows a small glimpse of his behavior.
