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!

Teaching patience at thresholds is one of those tiny habits that ends up making a huge difference. Doors, gates, cars…they all create anticipation, and anticipation is where a lot of chaos starts. 😵‍💫

Taking a few extra seconds in these moments isn’t about being strict — it’s about setting your dog up to feel calmer, safer, and more connected to you before you step into whatever comes next.

It’s one of the simplest ways to build impulse control, reinforce your leadership, and protect your dog from those “oops” moments that can turn into real safety concerns.

Start with calm, move with calm, keep the calm. ✨

Duke has graduated, and my little buddy made me so proud during his time here! 🥳

He is a young dood, so of course the learning must continue back home! I am happy to say that mom has reported, “so far he is doing great! It’s night and day!!” 🤩 music to my ears!

keep making me proud, bud! 🖤

If your dog struggles to settle in public, you’re probably not doing anything wrong. It just means their nervous system needs more time and support — and honestly? So does yours 😮‍💨

New environments take time to get used to — for both of you. Confidence in those moments doesn’t come from “perfect behavior”…it comes from practice, repetition, and slowly building trust in the process.

Before jumping into busy outings, I’d start here:

▫️Can they regulate at home when things feel off-routine?
▫️Can you walk together without a full-blown power struggle?
▫️Are you both heading out in a calm state…or just hoping for the best?

This post breaks down what I’d focus on before expecting them to hold it together on the patio. You’re not behind. You’re learning how to do this together.

Save it for when you need the reminder that you’re doing just fine 🖤

Setting a dog up to fail?!” 😱

Okay…but what about setting them up to potentially succeed and actually learn something?

That’s a huge part of working with reactivity — giving your dog real, guided experiences where they can feel their feelings, take direction, and come out the other side a little braver than before.

These girls did amazing(of course the time we’d be okay with a reaction, the dog doesn’t 🤭), but there was still so much learning happening — which is exactly what we want. Growth doesn’t come from avoiding every challenge. It comes from navigating them with clarity and support.

The more intentional experiences you create now, the more confident you and your dog will feel when those “real life” encounters show up. And they always do. 😅🖤

Training our dogs sometimes makes you realize…wow, they might actually have their lives together more than we do. 😅

Progress is happening on both ends of the leash, even if ours looks a little more chaotic. If you needed the reminder: you don’t have to be perfect to raise a really great dog. You just have to keep showing up. 🖤

Which one of these called you out the most? 👀

Calm moments like this don’t just show up — they’re built slowly, with consistency, patience, and a whole lot of “let’s try that again.” ✨

If your dog isn’t there yet, that’s not a failure.
It just means you’re still in the part of the process no one posts about.

Keep going. Your version of this moment is coming. 🖤
