Here’s a look at K9s Precious & Snowy and their dad crushing their off-leash graduation session. He’s never had dogs that he could trust off-leash before, so this session helped push him out of his comfort zone and build confidence in his dogs and in the training tools. Outstanding job!! 🤩🙌🥹🥰

Yes!!! 🙌 💯

Derek Cox nope. You’re being incredibly smart, practical, and safe. The amount of negative interactions which create lasting behavior problems due to owners who feel their dogs need to make friends with unknown dogs are uncountable. My personal dogs are super friendly with other dogs (except for one of the seven), and all are awesome with people. Yet, we have extremely clear rules that our dogs NEVER interact with other dogs on walks or hikes, ever. And same goes for humans. The truth is, you have no idea as to what kind of responses you’ll get from the unfamiliar dogs or humans, and that’s a terrible gamble to take. So if we’re out and about, first we simply avoid everyone. That’s the easiest approach. But if we DO encounter someone (we can’t avoid) who wants their dog or themselves or their kids to say hi, there’s a very polite “Sorry, we don’t allow our dogs to meet dogs or people they’re not familiar with. Thanks.” And if that doesn’t connect, we become far more “clear” and “direct.” And if that isn’t honored, lol, let’s just say it’s a contest between my Eastern European wife and my barely concealed cantankerous self to see who will put the conversational smack down on them the firmest. Our dogs’ safety and our own peace of mind are not up for grabs simply because someone else wants something. And we will protect that stuff quite harshly if need be. (It rarely is.)

As for your suggestion about setting up something that is highly controlled and structured—that’s totally up to you—but you and your family are more than enough to satisfy your dog’s needs and fulfillment. And trust me, our dogs are quite the happy dogs. In fact, at this point, they have no desire to meet other dogs or people—they’ve become as aloof and selective as we are. And that’s just how we like it. :)

Paws together fine folks!! K9 Drax and family GRADUATED!! 🙌 🎉

Drax has been a superstar during training! 🤩 His mama had begun laying a foundation before he arrived on campus (and she did I a great job). For his training I got to build on what he knew, teach some new skills, provide him with a bunch of real world immersion training and proofing, and… 🥁🥁🥁 watch him grow and develop. 🥰🥹 I am excited for Drax and his family as they move forward in his training journey!

Welcome K9 Drax to the K9 Compass Campus!

Soooo handsome and equally clever & sweet—that’s Drax! 😍 He’s a 5 month old German Shepherd/husky/great Pyrenees mix.

He’s here for his basic obedience foundation and real world immersion training so that he develops into a well mannered, take anywhere, dog. I’ve had the pleasure of working with his family previously when I trained his housemate, Anna. 🥰 They have have been doing a fantastic job of providing him with structure and guidance right away.

On his first day of training with me, he has demonstrated that he is an exceptionally quick learner! 😁

I’m very excited to have the opportunity to work with Drax!

Paws together fine folks!! K9 Demi and family GRADUATED!! 🙌 🎉

Demi has grown by leaps and bounds during her training. After learning her basic obedience, she got to face this big crazy, sometimes scary, world and begin to learn that it’s not so scary after all.

I am excited for Demi and her family as they continue her training journey and exposure in the real world.

Congratulations!! Thank you for selecting K9 Compass LLC - Dog Trainer - Delaware!!
