KANE9 Dog Training & Advocacy

Offering Board & Train Programs & virtual coaching sessions out of the Madison, WI area! In October of 2015, we adopted our dog, Rhody.

That is when my relationship with dogs changed forever. He is the reason I found my true passion of training dogs. At KANE9, we follow a relationship-based training technique designed to give dog owners the tools they need to create a balanced and gratifying relationship with their canine family members. We are on this journey together, let's get started!

Maybe it’s the leaf that blew too aggressively. Maybe it’s the neighbor existing. Maybe it’s just…Tuesday. 🫠

Whatever the reason, we’ve all had that walk, that moment, that spiral where your dog is losing it and you’re standing there like “please, not today.”

Just like us, dogs have their days.
And just like us, some need more help regulating through the chaos.

👀 But also — can we find our life again please??

If your nervous system is barely holding on, it’s okay to pause. Breathe. Re-center. Your dog isn’t broken. You’re not failing. You’re both just a little…overstimulated.

You’ve got this (even when it’s loud and messy).

✨ Tag your dog owner BFF who’s been here! 🖤

They act like it’s their full-time job, but I regret to inform you — they are very much on a volunteer basis. 🫠✨

Some dogs just love to push, test, and challenge everything we’ve ever said or done like they’re hosting a reality competition called “Will They Stay Consistent?” 👀

And listen, when a dog is throwing curveballs, what they need most is clarity, consistency, and boundaries that don’t shift every time the wind blows. Sometimes, it really is a who-will-out-will-who kind of game…but the goal isn’t to be in a constant battle.

It should get easier. It should feel like things are clicking into place.

If it doesn’t, that’s your cue to get support. You and your dog both deserve a rhythm that actually works. 🖤👏🏼

I love my dog, and…

they’ve fully altered my personality, social calendar, travel plans, and what I consider “a reasonable thing to say in public.” 🙋🏼‍♀️✨

Part four of this series because clearly, we’re all just doing our best while our dogs run the show.

Which one hit a little too close? 👀🖤

Ever have one of those days? 🙋🏼‍♀️

You know, the ones where you’re convinced your dog needs a new home, a new handler, a new nervous system…and then a snack, a nap, and a 3-minute scroll later you’re like, “Okay but we’re actually kind of crushing this.” 😅

The spiral is real — but so is the progress.
You’re not a bad owner for having a moment (or five).
You’re just a human doing hard things for a dog you love.

So take a breath. Maybe a walk. Definitely a snack.
You’re doing better than you think. 🖤

Fireworks season is here, and your dog doesn’t need to “toughen up” — they need a little preparation and a whole lot of support. 🖤

If your dog struggles with the noise, unpredictability, or general chaos of fireworks, this list is for you. Because a little intention early in the day goes a long way once the booms start.

And if you’re planning to indulge in some adult beverages this weekend 🍹 — even more reason to fulfill your dog early and lean into crate time later.

Safety and structure don’t have to disappear when the party starts. Their safety is the priority! 🎇

There’s nothing like the phrase “don’t worry, they’re friendly!” to make your stomach drop faster than a leash slipping through your hand. 😑

If your dog is reactive, anxious, in training, or just not up for a social experiment on a Tuesday afternoon… you know this moment. And the emotional tailspin it can trigger.

Because it’s not just about a friendly off-leash dog. It’s about your dog’s safety. Your progress. Your nervous system.

To the people yelling that across the park — respectfully, get it together. 🤭

It’s not cute. It’s not helpful. It’s irresponsible.
And no, the owner getting upset at you for letting your dog rush theirs is not overreacting.

Advocating for your dog doesn’t make you rude.
It makes you responsible. ✨

✋ Boundaries are allowed.
🛑 Space is allowed.
😡 Feeling frustrated is allowed.

You’re not alone in this. And you’re not overreacting.
You’re doing a dang good job. 🖤

Life with an anxious dog will stretch you in ways you didn’t see coming. 😮‍💨

The emotional work. The lifestyle shifts. The constant awareness of your energy, your tone, your next move.

It’s not easy. 🫶🏻

But if you’re here, showing up, trying, learning, growing— then you’re doing something really powerful. ✨

This post isn’t about wallowing in the hard.
It’s about acknowledging it — so it doesn’t own you.

Because when we can say:
“Yeah, this is heavy. This is real. And I’m still here.”
That’s when the real transformation starts. 🖤

Bentley + Isis are the newest KANE9 graduates! 👏🏼

These girls both made us so proud during their time here! They couldn’t be more opposites, but ended up being the best of friends. The thing they had in common? Owners who want the best for them! ✨

Bentley Bear — you are a little lovey, full of personality! No more breaking mom’s fingers, got it? 😜 Be good back home!

Isis — you are a beautiful example of a tough looking girl with the sweetest soul. We love your sass. You and your brother, Scoobs, better make us proud back home 😉

This has been on my heart lately. 🫶🏻

Many of you have been checking in on our sweet Rhody, and I wish I could say he’s better. But the truth is — we’re still in it. All of the tests and scans that we feel comfortable putting him through. Still hearing, “everything is coming back normal” when his reality says otherwise.

It’s been hard. And heartbreaking.
And it’s made me reflect a lot on our early days navigating his behavior — the reactivity, the management, the tough calls and hard conversations.

I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.
The struggling walks. The judgement from others. The exhausting advocacy at vet clinics that didn’t want to listen (finally have an amazing vet that hears me).

Every bit of it — for more quality time with this dog. My boy.

Because this health mystery?
It feels heavier than any behavioral hurdle we ever faced.

The one constant through it all?
He’s worth it. Always has been. Always will be.

This dog has changed me. He is KANE9.
He’s taught me patience, leadership, and how to stay steady even when things don’t make sense.
He’s been gentle with me while I learned, and now it’s my turn to be that for him.

We’re not giving up. We’re still fighting for answers. Still advocating. And we’ll keep making decisions with his best interest at the center — even when they hurt.

To the owners navigating the hard stuff — I see you. I feel you. And I promise: there will come a day when you’d take those tough moments back in a second, just for one more walk, one more cuddle, one more normal day.

So if you’re in the thick of it right now…
Keep showing up. It’s okay that it’s hard.
You can struggle with your dog and love them more than words could ever say.

Our Rhody is that for us 🖤
