We get to meet a lot of great people in the dog world. But it’s hard to find one better than Madonna! Thank you for your friendship and for allowing us to train your beautiful dogs. Please keep her husband Jim and family in your thoughts as they navigate the loss of such a wonderful person. You will be greatly missed!

Max and Duke got to go on a training field trip today and they both did great! They were loved on and practiced their skills at the Regional Office of Education High School Career fair at the Williamson County Pavilion! There were around 1000 high school students in attendance. We had the opportunity to talk to the students about dog training, running a business and a few of them even tried on the bite suits! *Faces are covered for privacy of the high school students.

Today we went and spoke with some of the students in Shawnee Community College Criminal Justice Program and did a demo with K9 Ryker. We even had a couple brave students who decided to put on the jacket and take a bite!

Travis finally bit the bullet and had knee surgery this morning. He’s been putting it off and working through pain for a long time! Came out of surgery well and is being forced to take it easy for a couple days!! He’s not super happy about that part! 😂.

Travis recently taught at the K9 Cop Conference in Nashville, TN and had a vendor booth set up as well. It was great to teach and interact with so many other officers and a great opportunity for networking! If you ever get the chance to attend one of these conferences you should definitely go!

It is important to remember that our dogs can over heat really quickly in this weather. Even a short walk outside for a dog that it is not used to these temperatures can quickly overheat them. Dogs do not sweat like humans do so the majority of their cooling comes from their mouths. If your dog is outside its important that they have continuous access to fresh water and shade. Try to keep your walks short and during the early morning or late evening when the temperatures aren't as hot.

Things to look for in your dog when they begin to overheat are:
Rapid breathing, mouth open wide and eyes appearing squinted, tongue flattening out and hanging out of the mouth, and shade seeking. Dogs that are getting too hot will even seek the shade of your shadow to help cool them down.

When your dog begins to overheat you want to act quickly. Remove them from the environment into a cool place. Give them fresh water to drink and if you have the ability, immerse them in water. If you don't have the ability to immerse them spraying them with a hose with cool water will help them to cool as well.

Hi everyone! My name is Amira. I am staying at Flatline K9 for a while because my owners think I need some training. I overheard my trainers say that I am the most bougie dog they have ever had come through their program. Can you believe this? I mean because I don't like dog food and refuse to eat anything but rotisserie chicken? Or because I like to eat in my trainers bed instead of eating in my crate? Or do they think this because I prefer them to hand feed me instead of eating out of a bowl like the rest of the dogs? I am a beautiful princess and I only eat an entire rotisserie chicken per day regardless of the tricks they pull to get me to eat dog food. When I got here I was super scared and fearful of everyone and other dogs. I am not nearly as scared as I used to be and I have a lot more confidence now. The trainers think they have done something special but I only changed my behavior because I wanted to but I guess I will just let them keep thinking its because of their training.
