Poppy looks like a meerkat 😂

We also want to welcome Yeti to K9 Guide - his owners are repeat clients after having their dog Drax trained with Yana Allport 5 years ago. They drove all the way from Michigan to get little Yeti trained too!

Some photos of Board & Trains from the last couple of weeks ❤️

Foundations are built inside before working in higher-distraction environments. All of these dogs are in different stages of the program and with us for various reasons - ranging from puppy training to reactivity and aggression to basic obedience!

Thank you guys for trusting us with your companions, it's always a pleasure! 🐾

We have recommended dogPACER to quite a few of our clients looking for dog treadmill recommendations - unfortunately, they are going out of business.

A peek into our personal life - Jimmie doing Dad Things on the first day of 2026.

Yana was born in Russia, where they celebrate New Years with gifts and "Christmas trees" and "Ded Moroz" (the Russian version of Santa!). So these lucky kids get to open presents up both on the American Christmas and our Russian New Year's! Lucky, that is, until they realize it's the same amount of presents... only split between two days 🤭

I want to take this moment to thank our clients for supporting a small family business. We care for your dogs just like we do our own. Every dollar made supports Collin, Jimmie, and I. To a little girl who's excited to get Hello Kitty slippers and a little boy who can't wait to play with his first microscope.

Happy New Years, friends. I'm forever grateful.

- Yana

🎄 Holiday plans are coming up fast - and that means it's time to book K9 Guide boarding for your dog!

If you're a K9 Guide client and know you'll be traveling for the holidays, now is the time to reserve space. Our boarding spots are limited so we can keep things calm, clean, and structured for the dogs in our care during the busy holiday season.

Boarding with us is also a great way for your dog to get a refresher on their obedience skills while you're away - keeping manners sharp and routines consistent.

Contact us to check dates and book your dog's holiday stay with K9 Guide!

The idea that dogs deserve "love" regardless of their behavior or what they are contributing to a household is the #1 cause of behavioral problems.

I know that's a tough pill to swallow - we love our dogs and want them to feel loved.

But it is important to keep in mind that dogs do for themselves and cooperate as needed for acquisition of resources and survival.

⭐ Dogs are conditional creatures. ⭐

What that means for our day to day life is this:
- If your dog learns that jumping on you gets them affection, that's what they'll do.
- If your dog learns that begging for food or counter surfing gets them snacks, that's what they'll do.
- If your dog learns that bad behavior like barking or growling will get others to back off - that is exactly what they will do.

They need boundaries imposed on them either from the environment or from a relevant social source (that's you!).

They are unable to have those boundaries and you are not a relevant social source if you "love your dog no matter what they do."

Boundaries and discipline are as important for dogs as they are for humans. So while you will always love your dog - your dog will appreciate you more if you give them the structure that they really need to thrive 💪
