Sometimes utilizing the neighbors "unruly" dogs can be an amazing training opportunity. Especially for young puppies like "Mickey" here. Getting over the stress and stimuli of barking and noise is crucial for their development!!

Secondly, this guy has been one of my absolute favorite board and trains ever! He is smart as a whip, and so incredibly driven to do anything and everything! Can't wait to watch this guy grow!!

We would like to extend our gratitude to the Belvidere, Illinois Police K9 teams for participating in cross-training and troubleshooting sessions today.

Officer Korn with K9 Solo (Dutch x Mal)
Officer Davis with K9 Xilo (GSD)

K9 Solo is overcoming some stimuli challenges and enhancing his forward aggression, showcasing an incredibly powerful bite. This dog bites like a vice, hardly ever needing to regrip at all...

K9 Xilo, despite his compact size, exhibits an impressive bite force, delivering powerful punches and maintaining a tight grip this guy goes for the bones underneath....

The dedication of these handlers to their teams is evident, and they have done an outstanding job maintaining the readiness of their K9 partners. Belvidere, Illinois

Happy Valentine's Day birthday to Shelby x Rogue puppies, whose unique personalities made them each special, and I am thankful for the opportunity to have helped raise them. It has been a pleasure to watch them succeed, whether as service animals or in deterring the big bad decoy. I know they will get the job done ✅ 🖤
