Delta Canine

Delta Canine Located in Maxwell, Iowa. State-licensed, behavior-conscious boarding and daycare. Our training program is currently paused and will return at a later date! 

My passion for dogs began long ago, as a youngster, training and showing dogs in the 4H program. As an adult, I have used those skills, along with skills gained from many courses and seminars, to modify the problem behaviors of many dogs as well as create good habits and teach wanted behaviors. My approach is reward-based, positive reinforcement, and I stay as conflict-free as possible. I want tr

aining to be fun and rewarding for both you, and your dog! I am located in Maxwell. I travel within the Des Moines and Ames areas, within 40 miles of Maxwell. I charge per mile outside of that radius. Areas I can help with:

Human reactivity/aggression
Dog reactivity/aggression
Resource guarding
Separation anxiety
Muzzle training and proper muzzle fit and use
Potty training
Crate training
Basic obedience
Loose-leash walking

I also offer limited boarding and board and train services. Reach out to me at [email protected] for more information!

This is what happens when you’ve got two puppies around the same age who are just too tuckered out to stand up and play 😆

This is DC Dog Moose, a GSP pup, and Aster, our rottie foster pup (who is somehow STILL looking for her forever home!!) adoptarott.org

Hey guys!! It’s me, Bear.

I think the internet might be broken- I was pretty sure that my foster mom had plastered me everywhere, and the rescue, too- they put me all over the World Wide Web!!

Every day my foster mom says to me, “Maybe today is the day, buddy! Maybe today someone will say they want you to be theirs forever!”.

But so far…. Nobody has wanted me. 🥺

I’m a really good boy!! Almost all the time!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love it here, too- my foster mom takes me swimming in the creek, and on walks- sometimes I yell at the other dogs I see because I can’t get over to sniff them, but I’m learning to “manage my emotions”, as mom says…. And I love playing with my friends who come for boarding and daycare.

I love splashing in the pool and eating the water that comes from the hose, oh, and I LOVEEEEE the fetch… mom is great at throwing the ball!! And now I learned how to play “with manners” so I am not jumpy and grabby when I get excited to play. I didn’t know humans didn’t like that 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mom says she is really proud of me because I have become such a great guy to hang out with, and she says I have the best smile!! Sometimes I still do dumb stuff but mom says she still loves me and tells me to keep trying.

So yeah, I guess I don’t know what’s wrong with the internet, because I can’t read, but mom says she’s gonna try again to put up some cute pictures of me and see if my new best friend and fetch buddy is out there. I hope so, because even though I like it here, I really, really want my very own home…. Somebody who can keep teaching me things and helping me be the best boy I can be!

Anyway, I’m off to grab a nap (I love naps!) so maybe if you can share my pictures (mom said that’s a thing…) somebody special will see them.

Paws and kisses,

Bear

Just a few of the many pictures capturing moments of time for our boarding, day boarding, daycare, and foster dogs over the last couple weeks!

Poor little Aster girl….

Her sisters have begun their new lives in their forever homes…. And she’s still waiting for hers 🥺

She had such a rough start in life with being critically ill, and going from mom to shelter to the ISU ICU, then isolation here, before being reunited with her sisters.

Through it all, she has remained happy, snuggly, sweet and bubbly.

After taking her out to potty after getting back from getting Iris on transport to her new home, I ran back into the house for a minute, only to come back out to find her looking quite lost, wondering where I was, with no puppy sister to find reassurance in.

Don’t worry- I’ll pair her up with Dale and Otto, so she can continue to build relationships and socialize, but this little gal deserves a home of her OWN ❤️

Please share this little face so we can get the right eyes on her, in hopes that she can find HER happy ending, too 🐾

🖤Aster is a 4 month old rottie (mix?) pup who is fully vetted for her age, crate trained, doing great with potty training and has been very well socialized. She will mature to probably around 80 pounds. She is medium energy, would be great for an active adopter or family. 🖤

Aster is currently located in Maxwell, Iowa

We love you, Iris!!!! 🐾

We are delighted to report that little Miss Amaryllis jumped on the rottie rescue train on Saturday and was welcomed into her forever home by her new mom! Here she is with two members of our incredible transport team, two of several who helped to get her safely to her new home.

It takes a village, and man, do we have a good one!

Be a good girl, Amaryllis! We love you! 🖤🤎

Friends, please welcome Miss Piper to the DC team!

Piper will be spending a few hours with us each week this summer and will assist in a variety of duties, including cleaning and sanitizing, assisting with field trips, and probably her favorite part, playing with all of our dog friends! Her assistance helps to allow me more time for administrative duties, and general daily DC tasks, without taking away from hands-on time with the dogs. 

Piper not only has her own dogs, who happen to be clients of ours, but also owns horses and is very active in the 4-H program. Piper is also very active in competitive dance! We are very happy to have her and her first week with us has been great!

Rottie baby shark check innnnn!!!

Everybody put your paws together for Amaryllis, she has a pending adoption 🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎

Aster and Iris are still looking for their forever families!

These 4-month-old pups are well rounded, doing excellent with crate training and potty training! They have an awesome default sit, they have learned to interact with people without jumping, and they have experienced many new sights, smells, sounds and surfaces as all puppies should do during socialization!

They love children, they enjoy interacting with other dogs of all shapes and sizes, and each one has her own little unique personality.  Playful, but have an excellent “off” switch when it’s time for movie night on the couch.

Very food-motivated which makes training fun and engaging.

They are ready to venture off on their own with their new family to continue building that foundation ❤️

They go in next week for their next round of puppy shots, and exams! They can’t wait- the vet and the staff are their besties!!! 📏 💉 🦴 👩‍⚕️

🌼 Aster, Iris, and Amaryllis 🌼

To DC!!!

They are nearly 4 month old rottie (mix?) sisters who are available for adoption through MidAmerica Rottweiler Rescue!

Aster had a tough start with a stay at the ISU ICU but she is healthy and happy now! They have been working on crate training, puppy manners, and socialization with us and are doing GREAT.

Their little individual personalities are starting to shine and we have really enjoyed getting to know them ❤️
