Let's talk distractions!

In this photo is our Trainer and Charlie. 5 months old and fully handler focused a long with a tiny little bird.

At the start of the session, Charlie wanted nothing more but to go investigate. A dog navigates their world with their nose and their mouth. So, without working Charlie through that, the bird would have 100% wound up in Charlie's mouth.

Before we got to this point in the picture, we worked diligently to build focus. Using lots of praise, reward, and reinforcement to teach Charlie this little bird is no big deal and nothing to be investigated. Then it was Charlie's Dad's turn! With some assistance in buffering and guidance on keeping focus the two succeeded and training continued!

It is up to us to create that expectation for our dogs. Distractions are everywhere, it is much easier to create wanted behavior rather than fix it later. Charlie is absolutely phenomenal and we are all very proud of him. As well as his people for taking the tools and using them!

If this story is relatable, or you've got a pup with some unwanted behavior on distractions CONTACT US TODAY and let's reach you the tools to succeed!

Thank Dog it's Friday!!
But that doesnt stop us from working! We wanted to give you an update on the happenings here at KP.
While we work diligently to set your animals up for success in and out of our sessions, we have also been working on building trust, confidence, and peace with a pup name Reaper. On the weekeneds for the last 3 weeks Dawn has been working with Thomas at Canine Unlimited Offleash Pawtential.

Canine Unlimited had posted a video with a story no animal lover wants to hear and was reaching out for help. Dawn jumped at the opportunity. Knowing that her skill and knowledge may be of some assistance to Thomas and Reaper. It's been rewarding to be a part of to say the least!
Not only is Reaper getting some extra help and TLC both trainers are expanding their knowledge in all things dog by teaming up to help this fine young pupper!
KP is proud to be a part of this dog's journey and greatful for the opportunity. This will not only set another dog up for success, but give KP more tools and knowledge to widen our scope on training.

Please check out Canine Unlimited if you havent already. And follow along side of us to stay up to date on Sir Reaper!

Meet Ollie!
Our newest pup on a path with Koda's Place. This golden doodle has places to be, trails to inspect, and a wilderness expedition to captain. Honestly, if the Boy Scouts needed a furry adventure guide, Ollie would already have the golden clipboard.
Dawn is excited to help him learn when it’s time to explore, when it’s time to check back in, and how to enjoy the world without turning the leash into a sled pulling competition.

Welcome to Koda’s Place, Ollie! We can’t wait to watch you grow.

Consistency coupled with structure, creates reliable dogs.

Your dog learns faster when expectations stay the same every day. If “off” means no jumping today, it has to mean no jumping tomorrow too. Clear and consistent communication builds confidence and understanding.

Dogs thrive on routine. Even 5 focused minutes a day can create huge progress over time, setting your dog up for success.

Need help creating structure for your pup you can be consistent with? Message us today to schedule your Meet & Greet. You can even book right from our page by clicking the "book" button!

Meet Charlie!

At 5 months old, he's smart as a whip! And a Certified Good Boy in training!

Charlie has older pup parents with one having knee replacement surgery in the next 5 weeks. So it's crunch time for Mister Vanilla Softie to learn how to walk mannerly on a leash and not jump on his people.

We had a blast at our M&G today. We are super stoked to be laying the groundwork and building the foundation so that both Charlie and his people can be successful and stress free!

Meet Blue 🐾
This handsome guy has BIG personality and even bigger opinions about the leash… apparently pulling is his Olympic sport and disappearing acts are his favorite hobby
We’ll be working on building solid leash skills and reliable recall so Blue can trade in those “track star” moments for calm, connected walks and safe freedom. Training isn’t about taking the fun away, it’s about giving dogs the skills to enjoy life with their humans.
Progress starts with the basics, and we’re excited to help Blue channel all that energy in the right direction! And tell us all about it while he's doing it!

Don’t forget! TOMORROW we’ll be at the Andrews Spring Fling 2026 as a proud vendor! Come stop by, say hi, and talk training.

Big win for Duck today… we learned crawl!

At 3 years old, a lot of people think dogs are “done learning” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Training doesn’t stop once your dog hits a certain age… it evolves.
Duck and I are always building on the basics, adding new skills, and strengthening communication. Not just for fun tricks (even though crawl is pretty cool 😎), but to keep his mind engaged, build confidence, and reinforce our bond.
A trained dog isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress, trust, and teamwork. And that’s something you can work on at any stage of your dog’s life.
Ready to start (or continue) your dog’s training journey?
Let’s build something amazing together 🐕
