From being kicked out of group classes for having too much energy and pulling her owners like she’s on a mission, to this!
Daisy AND her handler have worked very hard this week to get to this point. Doing repetition after repetition.
Daisy successfully conquered her Achilles heel today… walking past another dog, and staying engaged with her handler!
Love the updates we get daily!
Nitro - an Aussie puppy that had been working with us since he was a puppy!
They made a move across country, and sent us this video showing off their new adventures with all the training they’ve worked hard on up to this point. This is what it is all about. Freedom, play, and experiencing the world. All made possible due to the hard work of his handler.
Enjoy your new adventures Nitro!
Stop and train your dog something new today. It can be something small. It can be a big trick.
Side effects: a better relationship with your dog, creating an environment to learn, super cool tricks, and even actually creating a happier you!
For those wondering, this is why we’ve been rescheduling sessions this week.
This is a heavily travelled road in Walker. One that’s a priority on the city’s list of roads to clear.
I’ve had kick back from a couple of clients about NEEDING to get training done this week. Let me start this statement again with:
We are one of the few dog training companies that still comes to your home. If you are going to question the fact that I want to stay safe and reschedule, you are more than welcome to find another company to come to you. I like coming home to my wife, daughter, and all my animals.
If I message/call/ or text you about rescheduling for everyone’s safety, and you fight with me, or anyone that picks up our phone, that will immediately result in terminating our working relationship.
Respect my decision, as I will always respect and value your safety.
From pulling like a 🐂 who sees 🔴, to walking next to a now confident handler!
It can be hard after a bad experience to gain that confidence back. Thats one of my most favorite things to watch during our sessions. Confidence going ⬆️, bad behaviors going ⬇️.
Great job Pinot and mom!
Rottweilers -
Pushy, affection, bred to guard and push livestock.
Maya - she fits two of those categories!
——————————————————————-
Maya has been a fun dog to work with. She LOVES 🧍♂️, 🐶, 🍔.
She worked with another training company before ours, and just needed some help getting past the training lull they were in.
Seeing the progress from week to week has been absolutely incredible.
Just a friendly reminder about our winter season policies that some may find odd, but I want to explain:
If snow is falling, and there’s ever a chance of it sticking to roads, we reschedule sessions. Whether it’s at our property, or we are driving to your home for training.
I value your life more than I do a training session. I value my opportunity to come home to my four year old daughter, wife, and dogs more than I do a training session.
This is a non-negotiable policy. For everyone. I’ve been blessed with some amazing people in our programs who understand that we want everyone to be safe.
Thanks for reading this far! I hope everyone had an AMAZING Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We are truly thankful for everyone that enters our lives through Ruff K9. We’ve built some amazing relationships, and have had the pleasure of working with some amazing people and dogs along that journey!
I hope everyone stays safe tonight, and enjoys Thanksgiving however you choose to celebrate it! Again, Happy Thanksgiving!
Little Tex is a 5 month old hound. He is your usual hound who loves food, barking, and food!
We’ve worked hard to get him to a point of understanding that space is needed sometimes, and that a WWE match doesn’t begin every time one of the owners sits down. Especially while their new baby is being fed!
So proud of this team. Really putting in the work.
It’s always a pleasure having clients have us help with new dogs. Billy (the white dog) had worked with us about 3 years ago!
Frank the new cattle dog is a “newer” family member and is now working through some new training with us!
Sometimes when you love food so much, it’s hard to share.
Charlie struggled with that. Food and high value bones became something he considered “his” and no one else could touch it.
His owners have worked incredibly hard to be able to be in even the same room as his food, but took it even farther. They can now touch the bowl to drop the food - before this would have been a bite, and ask him to out of his food or toys to help manage this unwanted behavior.
So proud of this team. Keep putting in the work!
Board and Train Grizz working around other dogs! As he gains more confidence here he has come out of his shell and crushing his trainings. Go Grizzy! 🐾
