Well, we've doing a thing!
Congratulations, Tom and Jess, on passing their Nepopo Silver School!
is a dog training system that gives dogs the idea that they can influence their environment. By using it, we train them to be enterprising, innovative, and passionate partners. They carry out their tasks with heart and soul!
While we already implement so many of the Nepopo ideas and training system, we are always open to learning and doing the best for our clients and their dogs.
"Never decide you are smart enough. Be wise enough to recognize there is always more to learn."- unknown
We look forward to continuing to share our knowledge and love for dogs.

Rex Specs are more than just cool factor!
So many people ask us about why our dogs wear doggles....
Rexspecs provide not only physical protection from the elements as you are out adventuring but also protects from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Diseases like Pannus are seen commonly amoung our working and outdoors breeds:
https://www.rexspecs.com/blogs/news/a-comprehensive-guide-to-pannus-in-dogs
Pannus is a progressive autoimmune disease that impacts the cornea (the clear part of the eye).
UV radiation is one of the key factors that can aggravate and inflame the pannus condition. The inflammation of the condition causes a buildup of scar tissue on the eye and eventually leads to severe visual impairment and blindness. Some breeds like German shepherds, border collies, and greyhounds are genetically predisposed to pannus, but any dog can develop it.
https://www.rexspecs.com/blogs/news/sun-exposure-can-damage-your-dog-s-eyesight
Rexspecs also protect against things like:
Sunburn
Cancer
Iris atrophy
And other sun related issues and sensitivities
When it comes to visible light, dogs are arguably more sensitive to it than humans are. Dogs are most active during dawn and dusk whereas humans are most active during the day. Because of this, dogs’ eyes are more sensitive to light so they can see better in those low light conditions while humans’ eyes are more adapted to brighter light conditions. This also means when dogs spend a lot of time out in that bright visible light, it can make it harder for them to see and even cause damage.
Rexspecs has so many amazing resources and research about their products. For more information check out

If you need fitted for doggles or hearing pro, give us a shout!

Rex Specs has amazing resources for their products, but most notably all of their gear is tested! ( aka... it's not a bunch of BS. )
With summer storms and fireworks just around the corner, this is a great opportunity to add some tools to your toolbox. Hearing pro can be a great way to add to your pet's noise phobias protocol and can even help with the desensitization process!
Want more info? Check out Rex Specs awesome information and drop us a message we have a small supply left!

Impulse control teaches our pets to wait patiently for what they want, instead of trying to get it rudely.
Using a command like "leave it" or "wait" it the most popular.
When trying this, patience is a must! And the trick is to offer something WAY BETTER than what you're asking them to "leave" or stay away from. Using your tools makes a difference, too. ( i.e., lead and prong collar, etc ), so you have a way to communicate outside of your reward and voice.
Start with a low value distraction and build up. Make it fun and make it a game!
Setting up little "leave it" food obstacles makes it fun and engaging, too.
Remember, you don't want to work for free, and neither does your dog. Be sure you have a food or toy reward ready!
Start with small wins and build up to heavy distractions and add some twists by trying it outside your home, too!

🙌🙌 We have hearing pro and CBD products available! The holidays don't have to be stressful, we can help!
Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 pets are affected by loud noises, including the sound of fireworks? 💥
According to the Humane Society of the United States, more pets go missing during the July 4th holiday than any other time of the year. Animal Control services across the nation have reported seeing a 30% increase in escaped/lost pets, causing many dog owners and shelters to become increasingly overwhelmed between July 4th and July 6th.
We spoke with the Director of Wayne County Dog Shelter, Katelyn Lehman, to find out more about how this holiday effects our dogs and our shelters, and to learn how dog owners can keep their four-legged friends comfortable this Independence Day.
From updated ID tags to noise dampening gear like Ear Pro, head to the link below to read our top tips for a safe celebration. Plus, save 15% on Ear Pro for a limited time!

Dogs will change with their environment.
YOU. ARE. THEIR. ENVIRONMENT... or lack of....
You can do all the lessons in the world, but if YOU are unwilling to change how you show up, live, and interact with your dog, you'll never make sustainable progress.
We, as pet owners, have to be willing to make real-life changes for our dogs. This can be small, simple things like what equipment or tools you use to bigger things like modifying your routine and habits.
We are here to help and break it down as simple as possible.
The behaviors and habits we refuse to face become our limits.
Be the leader your dog needs ❤️

We couldn't be more proud to have Adam on our team! Thank you to the Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak - Never Forgotten for inviting us!
Shout out to Adam Koch with Professional K9. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about service dogs and how they can help make a difference. What a wonderful experience for the students. Professional k9 shared a video of our first service dog Max with his veteran. Two years ago the 5th grade class donated their funds from entrepreneur day to our foundation and we used that to help purchase Our first service dog. Thank you Shane Fisher for teaching them the true meaning of service, Max would have loved this❤️🤍💙

Getting a dog based on cute factor is a recipe for disaster!
Every breed has their own traits and characteristics that go back hundreds of years. There is no "training them out of it" or " but this one is different", herding dogs are going to herd, working dogs are going to need a job, bird dogs need birds 🤣🤣... you get the point.
Researching and investing in a breed that fits your lifestyle will make you so much happier.
If you get an Aussie.... like K9 Aussi here, be prepared to live an active lifestyle, doing things that speak to what aussies are meant for!
Not every herding breed or working breed is going to have a high drive and desire to perform at the most elite level, but they will have a natural instinct that can manifest into unwanted behaviors. It also causes miscommunication between you and your dog.

We'd like to say our shooting game is better than our golf game, but the jury it's still out on that 🤣😅 We had a great afternoon last Friday shooting, and supporting Central Ohio Canine Foundation so they can help for veterans and first responders! We even had some special guest from Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak - Never Forgotten shooting with Sam and Adam. Sunshine, guns and tacos?! We loved it!
Beginning of scent work 🙌 building a strong foundation takes time, but this is an important step in the process. Want to learn? We've got an awesome introduction to Scent Work class on the schedule! We are working with our friends Whispering Pine K9 as they are hosting this course at their beautiful facility. Scent work is so much more than "what k9 dogs do" Scent Work can be for any dog, and the possibilities are endless! https://www.professional-k9.com/events/intro-to-scent-work
Did we go to the best indoor shooting range, yes. We. Did. Lake Erie Arms We spent the afternoon with the Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak - Never Forgotten celebrating our veterans and showing them some Ohio fun! Not only was the range and facility beautiful, the lunch was next level! The support and love we received made it even sweeter. Max and Maggie got fitted for new saftey gear and hung out in the range for a little training until the guys brought out the big guns 😉 It's important to us to prepare the service dogs for all the fun and adventures with their person. Stay tuned, more fun on the way!
"If you are able, save a place for them inside of you.... and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go." - Michael O'Donnell, US Army- Vietnam War It is always an honor to train a service dog for a veteran. With the support of the Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak - Never Forgotten we are able to continue the efforts that are so near and dear to our hearts. Today and everyday we will continue to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms. We can't wait to show all of Maggie's adventures! We had such a fun and memorable week. We got to see some "old" friends and meet new ones. ❤️ We spy with our little eye.. K9 Maximus ☺️. Stay tuned! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Professional K9 takes on the river 👏. much better than our golf game 🤣. We had fun spending an afternoon on the river enjoying some good laughs and memories! River Run Canoe Livery
" I want people to know their is hope for their dog. " - Arlo's Family When there is understanding, there is hope, and when there is hope, there can be change, and when there is change, the progress is unstoppable. **** Here’s my long sappy post about my dog and how I’m so thankful. I got arlo almost four years ago. My best friend passed away and shortly after I got Arlo. In a way he was an unofficial emotional support companion. I took him everywhere with me and around 6-9 months of age he became reactive. I no longer could take him places and do things in fear it would place us in an unpleasant situation. 6 months of age i got him into a local trainer but didn't even finish the sessions because it was clear the lady had zero experience with shepherds snd dogs like arlo. Around 1-1.5 years old we did basic obedience with sara. Arlo excelled in quickly learning basic commands and i realized he was a working dog. we have never really had family over besides my mom and dad because Arlo was comfortable with them. we found out we were expecting and i had the biggest fear of "am i going to have to get rid of my dog" the thought absolutely broke my heart. we reached out to other trainers but i wasn't really convinced that they would've been a good fit for Arlo based on the consultation and things that they had talked about that's when Tom a.k.a. the dog whisperer came along, worked his magic. Now we are safely integrated as a family at home with our babe. im pretty sure some days my dog loves tom more than i. We are forever thankful for Tom and Professional K9. Hopefully that wasn't terribly long but i want to let people know that there is hope for their dog.
Loose lead walking, let's talk about what makes it work: Loose lead walking is not a proper heel, and is classic with the "U" shape in the lead ( that just means you're doing it right 😁☺️) Loose lead walking is great for structured walks and public settings where you need your dog close for long periods of time. * a proper heel command and behavior is very strict, rigid, and meant for very short duration, sporting and very specific tasks * * pressure or lack of - having too much pressure, constant pressure or not enough pressure makes a difference between getting the behavior you want and making things worse. We often hear "even with the correction collar he pulls". "Nothing works, they just pull anyway! " Having the right tools is also important. The best harness or flat collar actually encourages pulling, and we use these tools for certain sports! So walking your dog on a harness to have more control is actually doing the opposite! By using correction collars the way they are intended, we can create a bridge in communication to our dogs.
[try again, fail again, fail better] - Samuel Beckett by continuing to explore and have failure in your training, you have opportunity to grow and extend your reach a little farther each time you begin again. having set backs makes you better and makes your training and bond stronger and stronger. These 2 reactive friends could have never have envisioned this as a possibility, but through lots of fails and lots of breakthroughs, they are growing and their possibilities are about to become endless.
🙌 super excited to have some great friends at Wags Bakery. Spent the afternoon touring their dog bakery and grooming salon! we are grateful to contribute our CBD to their adorable store front too! All of our pupper friends looking to snag some fresh made, clean ingredient treat you won't be disappointed! They even have pup cakes to celebrate all your milestones! 😍
Sometimes training is fun stuff just to show off confidence and control. Challenging our dogs to try new things like unstable surfaces, weird textures, unfamiliar noises and even maneuvering over and under things elevates their confidence. Having a confident dog can create so many good opportunities and independence, allowing you to take your pet on all of your adventures!
Professional K9 goes golfing 🤣 💀, We'll let you decide, but I think we're gonna stick with dog training! Thank you Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak - Never Forgotten for an amazing event ✌️
❤️ today we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. today we pray for their families and friends. May we continue to speak their names and keep their stories and legacies alive. Field of Heroes Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak - Never Forgotten #livinglifetothemax
We always need another round of pupper snoots ❤️

Handler Decoy Seminar : Sign Ups still Available! PS. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A CANINE HANDLER TO JOIN US. PSS. YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE EQUIPMENT TO JOIN US. This seminar is designed to help departments grow, so become an asset to your team! https://www.professional-k9.com/events/handler-decoy-seminar In today’s dynamic operational environment, it is vital that the handler and K9 have a decoy that understands the importance of behavioral feedback. The decoy is critical to the success of the teams' learning to operate and push past the basics to meet the needs of today’s working conditions. The Decoy must have proper timing, mechanics catching the dog to avoid jams, understand the importance of catching dogs in the front of the suit or legs, on confrontational bites, how to push the dog in defense and then relieve the pressure to improve the dog’s ability to channel drives. The Tier 3 Handler Decoy class is designed to train handlers and decoys these skills and to improve operational effectiveness.

Sunlight, both UV and visible, can negatively impact your dog’s eye health if they don’t have the right protection. To help you and your dog get the most out of your next adventure without the squinting and long-term side effects, let's break down how sun exposure can impact canine eyesight.
