This weeks private training sessions!

Bubba: How handsome is this stud!! Bubba is a newly adopted deaf dog who really hit the jackpot with his family! His mom wanted to make sure she was setting him up for success as he’s her first deaf dog she’s had. During our session he learned how to focus on his mom, stay calm around other dogs and we talked all about what to expect during the settling in process and how to meet his needs.

Zeus: It’s always a pleasure to work with Zeus and his family. Zeus learned part two of muzzle training on Tuesday. He is patiently waiting for his custome muzzle from . To fit his silly crooked jaw. We can’t wait to see his fancy new muzzle!

Oksusu: This is my second session working with this adorable shy pup. He has had quite the adventurous life so far being adopted from Korea and brought to the states. This poor baby is afraid of his own shadow so his family and I are working on boosting his confidence and teaching him some basic skills.

Kali: some of you might recognize this majestic, Merle face. Kali is sisters of one of my behavior clients, Reilly. Kali can be … the instigator for Reillys nervousness around strangers in the home. So, we are working on teaching calmness in the house with her to help continue progressing with Reils anxiety.

Walk and train Wednesday!

Introducing our second longest walk and train clients, Duke and Manapua! This adorable duo started with us back in March of 2019. Duke was just a wee little teenager. Insanely distracted by moving animals, pulled like a freight train and was so distracted by his environment, he couldn’t focus on me even for a millisecond. With lots of training, maturing and getting to know his preferences, our walks are quite pleasant now! My all time favorite thing about Duke is that he always collects as many stuffies as he can fit in his mouth and presents them to me when I arrive. He is such a lover and gives the sweetest, slobbery kisses.

Manapua. As many of you probably already realize, this little dog has me wrapped around his snaggle tooth. This guy has a small circle of friends and a big hatered toward little old ladies…. Like seriously, he HATES little old ladies. Rescued from the sunny islands of Hawaii, Manapua despised the cold rainy PNW days but lives for the sunshine and beach days. He is wicked smart and catches on to training fast.

These boys are such a comfort to work with. When I’m with them, it feels like I’m with my own family dogs.

It baffles me, knowing there are people out there who still believe that animals don’t feel emotions such as love, fear, stress and sadness. Science proves, quite the opposite. In fact, research tells us that animals may produce stronger emotions than adult humans. But yet, there are still people out there criticizing the idea of this. Here at KCC we believe that science is real and personalize our training plans based on your pets emotions. We focus our sessions teaching you how determine what emotional state your pet is in. Which creates a stronger relationship and more successful training sessions!

Does anyone have suggestions on comfortable doggy sunglasses? I think because of the heart shape, these just aren’t super comfortable. Thank you in advance!

Walk and train Wednesday! A new series we are introducing so you can learn about the faces you see so often on our page. And it only makes sense to start this series off by introducing my very first clients I got when I started my company back in January 2019, Ellie and Autumn!

Ellie’s was just a little chocolate pup when I first walked her on January 17th, 2019. A few month before I met her, she got ran over by a car causing severe injuries that still flare up 6 year later. So other than exercise, Ellie’s mom was hoping to build confidence around moving vehicles. When I started with El, she would literally throw herself into the ditch any time a car would pass us. We worked on a lot of counter conditioning exercises to help build her confidence and taught her an alternative behavior. I’m happy to report that today cars can pass and Ellie will voluntarily put herself into a heel position on the opposite side of the cars and look to me!

Autumn, the GSP, also known as Naughty Auttie, joined Ellie and I’s walk and train sessions just a few months later. Auttie, who is not so naughty anymore at 10 years old, loves to spend her walks doing exactly what she was bred to do - scan, sniff and track. While Ellie is typically focused on “how do I get more treats” Auttie is focused on “did you see that bird?”.

It’s been an incredible honor to watch these girls grow up and be a part of their lives. Keep an eye out next Wednesday to learn more about our second oldest W&T clients!

This weeks after walk and train crew!

First we have Greta Jo and Finley! Finley is a past student, as you can see he has no problem getting cozy on my lap and lovingly gazing into my eyes. Since Greta joined the family, they are starting to see some dog reactivity out on walks as well as seeing some fear and over arousal when Greta is around other dogs. Over the next couple months, we will be working on teaching calmness and building confidence!

Rosie, Havoc and Lily, these three are quite the trio! Over the next few months, we are working on some basic manners like recall, stay and place. We are also working on some behavior modification between Lily and Rosie. Lily has a very hard time sharing her things and her main target is sweet, old Rosie. We will be teaching her that good things come when she shares her resources, building Rosie’s confidence around Lily and focusing on structure in the home.

Finally, Petey got to go on another tails on the trails! He always has such a blast during his adventures in the woods!

Bodhi and Bella have been clients of mine for nearly 13 years! And wow, time surly has changed our sessions together. What used to be havoc with nearly non stop playing, roughhousing and fetching. Is now peace, quiet and snuggles as all the babes (other than Feiff) are seniors. This family has always made me feel so incredibly loved. I’m so grateful to be lucky enough to still have them in my life!

The world lost an icon this weekend. The queen of R+ training, the one who inspired so many to follow their dreams. Karen Pryor changed the world for the better. She helped countless animal and people coexist in harmony. She taught us the power of positive reinforcement. She helped us understand animals and how to build trust between species. It’s time for us to build on her legacy. Keep her love, compassion and eagerness to learn going. Rest in peace KP 💜🤍💛

Nearly 100 dogs came through Katie’s Clever Canines this year! We have helped raise puppies, ease reactivity, built confidence, helped with inner household aggression. We have taught guardians how to communicate with their pets and build stronger bonds. We have kept dogs in homes and helped pet parents make tough decisions. We have added a team member, we attended seminars and continued our education. We are very, very thankful for our community. As this year comes to an end we want to thank everyone who has supported us this year. Whether it’s following our social media pages, referring us to a friend or family member or using our services. We love and appreciate you! Have a happy and safe new year! Love your Clever Canine team 🤍🐾

Happiest graduation to Hawk and King (perfect sister, Belle pictured too). It started with fights between Hawk and King and ended with them being cuddle buddies. These pups and guardians made so much progress during our time together. I’m so proud of them all and will miss them dearly! A big thanks to for teaching some basic manners last night and getting great pictures!
