Is Your Dog Struggling with Leash Reactivity?

Leash reactivity happens when your dog reacts to outward stimuli like other dogs, cats, skateboards—basically, anything that catches their attention. This could mean barking, lunging, growling, or even an overly excited doodle pulling you all over the place!

If this sounds familiar, we’ve got you covered. 🐾

Join Koru K9 co-founders, Bridget and Ray, alongside expert Bay Area trainer Jeremy, as they break it all down for you in our latest YouTube episode. Whether you’re curious about why this happens or looking for real solutions, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!

Did you know that one of the ways to show your dog how valuable you are is through existential feeding? 🤔

Here’s the trick: Instead of just pouring their meal into a bowl, turn those daily meals into an opportunity to strengthen your connection. Grab a treat bag, fill it with their food, and use it during training sessions. Every bite becomes a reward for good behavior, making YOU the source of all the good things in their world. 🐶✨

But that’s not all! There are so many ways to teach your dog that you’re their favorite thing:

* Food 🥩
* Toys 🎾
* Affection ❤️
* Access to places they love 🌳

You have all the tools to build your dog's trust—let us show you how to use them! 🐶✨ We're here to guide you every step of the way. https://hubs.la/Q037Ryql0

🐶 Are You Speaking Your Dog’s Language? 🐶

Did you know that communication with your dog isn’t just about talking—it’s about making sure they understand you?

You might say “No” or “Come” all the time, but unless your dog has been trained to recognize those words, they’re probably just confused. Imagine someone speaking to you in a language you don’t understand—frustrating, right? That’s exactly how your dog feels without clear communication!

Remember, dogs do not understand language. Dogs thrive when we communicate clearly, consistently and effectively, and that’s where Koru K9 comes in!

🐕 Ready to transform your dog and your life? Great! We’re ready to help you. https://hubs.la/Q037Rj6c0

Ray and Bridget team up with Seattle-based dog trainer Ashley Nunez for a must-listen discussion on navigating the tricky relationship of dogs, babies, and kids. From prepping your dog for a new family member to avoiding common mistakes, here’s a sneak peek at what they cover:

1. Thinking About Starting a Family? Start Training Now
Even if your dog isn’t a troublemaker, early training is key. Teaching boundaries and building routines before a baby arrives makes the transition smoother for everyone—especially your dog.

2. The Tough Truth: Dogs & Babies Don't Need to Interact
We get it—those baby-and-dog moments seem adorable! But safety comes first. Even with supervision, accidents happen in a blink. Here’s why:
Dogs may see a baby as a toy or prey, especially when the baby starts moving.
Babies are unpredictable—loud cries and sudden movements can spook even the calmest dog.

Just like us, dogs can experience anxiety too. And just like how health professionals often recommend lifestyle and diet changes for us, the same applies to our furry friends! 🐾

If your pup is showing signs of anxiety, the first step is to focus on mental and physical stimulation. A more engaged dog is often a happier, calmer dog. 💡

At Koru K9 Dog Training, we always start with training to assess your dog’s needs. Training lays the foundation to better understand their behavior—and often, it’s all they need to thrive! In rare cases, medication might be necessary, but that’s not where we begin.

Let’s work together to help your dog feel calm, happy, and balanced.

Thinking about adding another dog to your family? Let's make sure your current dog is prepared for this exciting change!

Before introducing a new dog into your home, it’s crucial to ensure that your existing dog is on the right track with their training. A well-trained dog not only adjusts better to changes but also helps in making the transition smoother for everyone involved. It is important to understand that adding a new dog into your home will not "fix" your existing dog's behavior. In fact, it may very well exacerbate the issues.

So, are you ready to make your pack the best it can be? Let’s ensure your current dog is set for success before bringing home a new buddy.

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the Koru K9 team, Keith Olsen! 🐾

Keith is an exceptional dog trainer who will be one of our Team Seattle Board and Train trainers. We’re thrilled to have him as a part of our pack, and can’t wait for you to experience the incredible work he’s doing with dogs in the area!

Keith is a dedicated canine trainer and enthusiast with a diverse background. Growing up in Washington surrounded by dogs, he developed a passion for animal companionship early in life. After serving eight years in the Navy, stationed in Hawaii, Keith and his wife welcomed their first dog, a Chihuahua mix, into their family.

Upon returning to Washington, he transitioned to a career driving armored vehicles while pursuing his education in HVAC/R. During his eight years in the trade, Keith adopted a Malinois puppy and recognized the importance of proper training. He sought out online resources and engaged with a local trainer, where his exceptional bond with his dog was noticed, leading to a job offer.

Keith further honed his dog training skills by completing a six-month master trainer course at Tarheel K9. He is currently an active member of a local IGP and American Schutzhund club, training two of his dogs for competition, and continues to share his passion for canine training with the community.
