Dogs don’t want to be treated like humans, they want to be understood as dogs. 🐾

Their brains are wired to respond to clear, consistent communication rooted in canine psychology, not human emotion.

When we project human behavior onto them, it often creates stress and confusion. But when we use body language, structure, and timing that make sense in the dog’s world, they feel safe, confident, and eager to follow our lead.

Luna is a littermate to Sol - who we trained several months ago. She will be staying with us for the next month or so to counter condition some reactivity issues. We found that her owner is one of her triggers for reacting. She is wearing a muzzle because she lunged at me a couple times during her dropoff. Once her owner left, she was a different dog all together.

Over the next several weeks we are going to teach her the correct ways to interact with people out in public.

Board & train programs are a 2 part system. Once her foundation is complete with us, we will switch gears to then work with her owners to give them the tools necessary for success.

Odin first trip out in public was a huge success!

Odin is here for the puppy program

Before I take them out in public, I build value in working with me first. That way, I can call the puppy away from things that he's focusing on that may potentially cause him to bark or react.

Timing is crucial. I only allow him to stare for a second before calling him away.

This is very important for making sure your puppy doesn't become reactive when they get older.

I am also evaluating the puppy's reactions to the new environment.

Is he concerned when meeting new people or excited?

Is he afraid of environmental things like step ladders?

Is he confident enough to chase food under objects and in dark places?

Odin passed with flying colors!

We are really going to miss having Barkley around. What a sweet dog 🐕

We will follow up in a couple weeks to keep working with Barkley's owners.

Board and train programs are only successful if everyone learns the techniques and handling necessary to maintain the training that was conditioned into the dog.

If anyone tells you there is no work involved in board and train programs, they are either uneducated on how training works or not telling the truth.

Congratulations Mosley 🐾🎓
He is a great dog with no behavioral issues but had some big issues with the leash. Now that he has overcome that, he is on to great things.

I'll be posting some clips of Mosley learning about leash pressure/negative reinforcement.

That's it! After 7 weeks, Thor is back home with his family.

We were able to make a lot of progress with him, but this is still just the beginning.

We are switching gears to focus on Thor's owners' education.

After several follow-up lessons, he will be a fully capable and confident handler to give Thor the leadership he needs.

Kova just graduated from our Puppy Program with honors! 🎓🐾

Our Puppy Program offers the most value to clients compared to any other training option.

By being proactive and getting ahead of the curve, we help prevent issues like reactivity, separation anxiety, and aggression potentially saving you a lot of money 💸 and frustration down the road.

At the same time, we’re planting seeds 🌱 in your puppy’s developing brain 🧠 and building a communication system that becomes the foundation for everything you’ll do together.

The skills your puppy learns with us last a lifetime and allow them to enjoy far more freedom than the average dog.

We also put a huge emphasis on owner education, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to keep progressing your dog’s training long after the program ends.

👉 For the absolute best results, reach out before you even get your puppy. We can connect you with reputable breeders to set you up for success right from the start

150lbs at 1.5 years old! This guy still has a way to go before he's fully grown.

I posted a video a couple weeks back about Thor.

He's been here about 6 weeks now and is making big strides.

I am going to teach him a few behaviors that will make life alot easier for his owner and others as well. I'm also going to teach him that wearing a muzzle is a rewarding experience as well as grooming and nail trims.

Motivation is the most important factor in rehabilitating Thor. If we can get him interested in play or food then it would be much more difficult to help him.

Don't get it twisted though, even though Thor looks like he's made huge improvements, his owner can't get complacent and let his guard down. He will always have to manage situations for the rest of Thor's life.

I'll be posting a follow up after Thor's turnover lesson once he goes back home.

Expert Trainers Who Get Results

Corey started his training path as a hobby, training sport dogs such as belgian malinois and the german shepherd breed in sports such as Schutzhund (IGP) and French Ring while at the same time working as a pipe welder making pretty decent money. He didn’t want to keep waking up every morning going to a job that he wasn’t completely happy doing so he decided to make the switch from pipe welder earning a consistent income, to diving in head first with no backup plan to open a business training pet and working dogs. Since then he has opened a training business, trained multiple dogs between board & trains and lessons. Imported, trained and sold numerous dogs to go on to work in fields such as explosives detection for the government, anti-poaching interdiction in Africa, and personal protection work. He has worked as a trainer imprinting dogs from Europe for explosives detection for a large private company and handled a bomb dog, doing security work for a foreign embassy. If you need help because your dog won’t come when called and you want to be able to go hiking off leash or your dog pulls you down the street and lunges at other dogs, don’t hesitate to contact “The Modern K9”. Corey will help and not only will he help, he will show you how to have a better more fulfilling relationship with your dog.
