🧡🐾 KD’S 3 FAVORITE F WORDS 🐾🧡

FAITH • FAMILY • FUR

Some things in life are bigger than work, bigger than money, and bigger than whatever kind of week we’ve had.

🙏🏻 FAITH to remind us that God has a purpose, even when life doesn’t go as planned.

♥️ FAMILY to make the hard days easier and the good days even better.

🐶 FUR for the chaos, the laughs, and the love that makes it all worthwhile.

It’s the muddy paws at the door. The dog waiting for you like you’ve been gone for ten years when it’s only been ten minutes. The quiet moments, the crazy moments, and the kind of loyalty that never needs an explanation.

Those are the things that make life special.

Around here, we believe in trusting God, standing by the ones we love through the hard days, showing up for those who count on us, and giving our dogs the best we’ve got.

So today, slow down a little. Spend time with the ones you love. Love on your dogs a little extra. Take a moment to thank God for the blessings, big and small, that make life what it is.

Happy Sunday from our pack to yours! 🐶

🧡🐾 KD’S K9 UNLEASHED 🐾🧡

NUGGET KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE. 😂

Milo is hanging out with us right now, and his mom, Dr. Boutte, sent this picture of Nugget along with some goodies she brought for the dogs in training!

TREATS. FOR. THE. DOGS. 🐾

And let’s be honest, you know we’ve got a whole crew here that’s going to be pretty happy about that! 😂

The funny part? Dr. Boutte is not only Milo and Nugget’s mom, she’s also Kyle’s doctor. Small world!

We appreciate you thinking about our four-legged crew and bringing them a little something special. It means a lot to have clients who care about what we do and cheer these dogs on right along with us. 🧡

🧡🐾 KD’S K9 OBEDIENCE 101 🐾🧡

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO GET INTO SOME DEEP SIT. 😂

And no, we don’t mean sitting for half a second before popping back up.

We mean some DEEP SITs.

Plant that butt.
Hold the position.
Stay focused.
Wait for the release.

A reliable sit isn’t just about whether your dog’s butt hits the ground.

It’s about whether they can hold that position when something more interesting comes along.

Start somewhere calm.

Ask for the sit.
Reward the correct position.
Then slowly add:

🐾 Duration
🐾 Distance
🐾 Distractions

Don’t expect your dog to go from sitting quietly in the living room to holding a perfect sit while another dog, a squirrel and the entire neighborhood are putting on a show. 😂

Build the behavior before you build the distractions.

Because obedience isn’t just:

“My dog knows SIT.”

It’s:

“My dog knows what I mean when I say SIT.”

Now go get into some DEEP SIT. 😏

🐾 KD’S K9: NO-BS MONDAY 🐾

MYTH BUSTED:
If you don’t hear from us right away, it doesn’t mean we disappeared.

There’s a good chance we’re doing exactly what you hired us to do…

TRAINING DOGS. 🐕

Our days aren’t spent sitting behind a desk waiting for the phone to ring.

They’re spent working dogs, building obedience, working through behaviors, reinforcing commands, managing distractions, caring for boarding dogs, cleaning kennels, and doing all the little things that go into taking good care of your dog.

Sometimes the phone gets put down.
Sometimes messages have to wait.
Sometimes the day simply gets away from us.

That’s the reality. And no matter how hard we try to stay responsive, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything.

So while we’re working on finding our rhythm and getting better at keeping everything moving, we’re also starting something new around here:

🧡 MONDAY — NO-BS MONDAY
Myths, misconceptions & straight answers.

🧡 WEDNESDAY — KD’S K9 OBEDIENCE 101
Training tips, commands & practical exercises.

🧡 FRIDAY — KD’S K9 UNLEASHED
The fun, behind-the-scenes & real-life side of KD’s K9.

🧡 SUNDAY — KD’S 3 FAVORITE F WORDS
FAITH • FAMILY • FUR

And don’t bite us if we miss a post here and there. 😂
We’re just getting this thing going.

But one thing we’ll always be doing…

TRAINING DOGS.

🐾 NO-BS MONDAYS 🐾

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

FALSE.

Dogs can learn at any age. Puppies, adults, and senior dogs are all capable of learning new behaviors, building new habits, and improving their skills.

It may take patience and consistency, but age is not a reason to stop teaching.

It’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. 🐾

Look who’s here at KD’s K9! 👀🐾

Milo has officially joined us for training, and we’re excited to be working with this handsome boy!

We’re looking forward to watching this guy grow, learn, and become the best version of himself.

A big thank you to Dr. Boutte for trusting KD’s K9 with Milo. ♥️🐾

🦟♥️ HEARTWORM DISEASE: WHAT DOG OWNERS SHOULD KNOW ♥️🦟

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition caused by a parasite that is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Once transmitted, heartworm larvae develop inside the dog over several months before becoming adult worms. These adult worms can live in the heart, lungs, and surrounding blood vessels, causing damage that can become severe over time.

🐶 “But my dog stays inside” 🐶

Indoor dogs can still be at risk. Mosquitoes can make their way inside your home, and it only takes one infected mosquito bite to transmit heartworm.

The tricky part about heartworms is that you may not know your dog is infected right away. Dogs can show few or no obvious signs during the early stages.

💔 As the disease progresses, signs can include:

• Coughing
• Decreased stamina
• Fatigue
• Weight loss
• Difficulty breathing

😍 The good news? Heartworm disease is preventable.

Regular testing and consistent, veterinarian recommended heartworm prevention can help protect your dog from this serious disease.

And here in Southeast Texas, where mosquitoes can be a problem for much of the year, keeping your dog’s prevention up to date is especially important.

🦟 Mosquitoes don’t have boundaries. Keep your dog protected. ♥️
