🎉 Words cannot describe how proud we are of Levi and his amazing handler Jessica! She’s done an incredible job building solid foundations, and the results speak for themselves. Thanks to her dedication, hard work, and the expert guidance from K9 Guide Dog Training, Levi now has bombproof obedience and impeccable heeling, ready to succeed anywhere, anytime. 🐾💪

Service dogs have important jobs, and it’s crucial to remember that not every dog has the right to public access. While we love our pets, it’s essential to respect the difference between service dogs, emotional support animals, and therapy dogs. Only legitimate service dogs have public access rights, and it’s important not to take pets into non-dog-friendly places. Let’s all do our part to ensure these working dogs can do their jobs without unnecessary interference. 🐕‍🦺🚫

Unfortunately, proofing against distractions—including people who don’t understand or respect the boundaries of working service animals—is essential. That's why Collin is extra with the distractions 😂 But with this dynamic duo, we know they’re ready for anything! 💯

We’re so excited to see this team continue progressing in their training journey, and we’re here for them no matter what. Keep up the amazing work! 🌟🐶

We've been made aware of a video circulating in Akron that shows a dog being stimmed on an e-collar and squealing at a farmer's market. This incident involved a trainer from a very popular chain dog training company. It's clear that the dog wasn't prepared for such an environment and lacked the necessary understanding of expectations.

At K9 Guide, with over 30 years of experience, we know that successful training takes time. We focus on building dogs' confidence, ensuring they are fully prepared for outings, and making sure these results also transfer effectively to their owners. This unfortunate incident highlights the risks of expecting off-leash results in just two weeks—training can become rough, rushed, and heavy-handed, often leading to unnecessary stress and confusion for the dog.

It's important to understand that tools themselves aren't abusive—it's the people using them that can make them harmful. That's why it’s crucial to find reputable trainers who are transparent about their techniques and take the time necessary to achieve humane, effective results.

It’s also worth noting that some chain dog training companies include clauses in their contracts that prevent clients from speaking negatively about their services. As a result, you won’t find many bad reviews—not because issues don’t exist, but because people are afraid of being sued.

We want what’s best for you and your dog. Whether you choose to work with us or another reputable trainer, we urge you to prioritize your dog’s well-being. Save yourself and your dog from the heartbreak that comes from rushed, ineffective training methods.

If you have any questions or need guidance on finding the right training approach, we’re here to help.

Results you can expect 💪

We're so proud of Teri and Teddy for their dog training success. They graduated from K9 Guide's In-Home Dog Training Program - it is a lot more hands-on than a Board & Train! While we did instruct Teri how to train her boy, she's the one who put in the daily work and we're incredibly proud of their results.

It is time for your dog to receive the gift of off-leash freedom. Contact us today!

Knox! This sweetheart of a Doberman came to us for a Board & Train program all the way from Elite European Canines in Kansas ❤️ Today was his Go-Home appointment where he met his new family and got to show them what he knows!

Knox worked a lot on being an independent pup and learning that the world can be a lot of fun if we're brave and see what's out there. Like many Dobies, he is a very Velcro pup who would be glued to his person 24/7. That makes it challenging for a dog who is going to have an Agility career! We worked lots of confidence building and exposing him to some of what's out there in the world!

Today we worked on obedience training, recall, shaping, clicker training, and helping his new family learn the foundations. They'll have all the support they need as this lovely young man matures.

Read K9 Guide's new blog post on the relationship between dogs and kids here, or check out the link on our profile -

K9guide.com/dogs-and-kids

Having a dog in a household with children can be incredibly rewarding for everyone involved. We love our dogs, and nothing can compare to fond memories of being a kid and growing up with your furry companion! Not only are dogs family members, they can teach kids a lot about responsibility, compassion, and unconditional love. In order for everyone to be happy and safe, it is important that this relationship is built on a foundation of safety, respect, and understanding.

Read our blog post to learn how to have harmony (and safety, and fun!) in a home with pups and kids.
