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!

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. 🖤

Skadi is back home and already doing amazingly! 🥳

This girl is really really special and we absolutely adored working with her. Seeing her grow during her time with us made me so proud and happy — I have no doubt that she will just continue to blossom even more with her people!

So proud of you, Skadi + fam! Welcome to the KANE9 graduate fam! 🖤

Two things can be true…and usually are. 😮‍💨

When I saw Owen’s little top teef for the first time, I knew it was love. 🖤

He’s here for a few days with his much younger brother, Duke, who’s in our full training program. Owen’s basically living his best life — getting pampered and learning how to relax on a cozy bed instead of bullying his little bro.

I had to share this because these moments with him were just pure joy. ✨

His heavy panting? From working hard and getting a little too hyped about schnacks (same, honestly). Sure, he was a bit overwhelmed — but mostly just amped to work.

You go, 9-year-old king. 👑
Who else is officially an Owen fan? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Your dog doesn’t need you to be perfect — just present. ✨

They don’t need endless treats, fancy gear, or constant entertainment.

They need direction, calm energy, and a human who keeps showing up.

Good news? You’re already that person. 🖤
