I haven’t posted on here in quite a while and with me taking over Walker’s K9 Services, I think I’m going to shut this page down by the end of the week. Thank you to my followers & if you haven’t already, please follow the Walker’s K9 Services 2.0 page for continuous dog training updates/advice!

The plan was to work Evie and Trauma on/off for 30 minutes each…well, Trauma decided 30 minutes was enough for the day🤣 I think Evie has decided that Trauma is too much because she tried to climb into the front seat with me while he was screaming his head off😂

Something new, we just added two new additions to the Corum Pack! Both 4 month old Belgian/GSD cross brothers. In about a year, these guys will being doing protection work and at least one will be going to a new family, so be on the lookout! I highly discourage anyone from getting two puppies close in age because of the high risk of littermate syndrome, however, I’m a professional and I know how to prevent that. Although they’ve been together for four months, they are no longer allowed to come in contact with one another with both of their crates being set in different rooms.

Be very careful who you decide to use as a trainer & vet them properly. I just came across this in a Facebook group and I am absolutely appalled!! This is the type of advice that gets your dog killed because it makes them MORE aggressive, not less. This is the exact same situation that happened to Beau and it did NOT help him, it made him worse and more fearful. It disgusts me to think that anyone would give out this type of training advice.

It's occurred to me that I have never told Beau's background story fully. I originally had commented some training advice on an aggressive dog in a Facebook group when I got a message from a woman asking if I would be willing to at least foster her dog--we see how good I am at "just fostering" LOL. She adopted Beau when he was about 8 months old from a couple who lied to her about his behaviors, stating that he was in no way aggressive. She and I both agreed that was not the truth and they had to have been covering up for the things that they had done to him--carrying all the classical signs of an abused dog. Because she is a wonderful woman with an amazing family, she and her son dedicated themselves to helping him overcome his fears. She really has done an amazing job with him, trying to new methods and listening to others' advice to see what was going to work with him. Unfortunately, the word "dog trainer" is not a certification and anyone can pose as a trainer. A "trainer" offered to help her with Beau as she had experience with fear-based aggression. Throughout this "training session" she actually made him worse from shoving a broom in his chest to forcefully invading his safe space. At one point, she had even improperly used a training collar and choked him out until he passed out and then laid him at his owner's feet. The "trainer" called several times saying she'd provide moral support when he was eventually "killed" but instead of giving up, this woman and her son persevered and tried harder to help him overcome these new traumas. They kept working until they realized that he needed something more, but in her state they would've put him to sleep if they surrendered him to the humane society. By chance, we met in that Facebook group and she drove 8 straight hours to Indiana to bring him to me and not many people would do that. We need more owners like her out there.

Everyone who’s been wondering why this page has been so quiet recently, well, here’s why. I’ve been heavily focused on learning to be a business owner and integrating myself into a leadership role at Walker’s K9 Services. This page may or may not stay active past April, depending on a variety of factors but I really hope you all will follow Walker’s K9 Services 2.0 page and continue to stay apart of this journey. Thank you all so much for your support and I hope to see you in the near future!

Why do I still go to the dog park if I don’t support dog parks? Simple, I have a small fenced in backyard and I only go if there are no strange dogs coming in/out. Many behaviors issues start at the dog park because a lot of owners haven’t trained their dogs properly or have wrongly decided that their aggressive dog is safe enough to be around other dogs. Dog parks can be used safely ONLY if you are around dogs you know very well & all dogs are properly trained, otherwise, it’s a recipe for disaster. Three of these four dogs are mine and one is my parent’s. All dogs I know thoroughly & all dogs are properly socialized and have good manners.

Some off leash work with Beau today; in order to safely have your dog off leash, the obedience must be immaculate. For example, a teenage girl kept calling trying to call Beau over to her but he continued to ignore and engage only with me. We’re still working on prey drive—he loves to chase squirrels—but practice makes perfect! If you’re thinking about starting off leash training always begin in a fenced in area!
