Zaura is checking in to see what everyone is working on with their dogs this week! 🐾💜

We’re heading into a very busy September here at Joyful Journey K9 with private lessons, board-and-train dogs, group training, and some exciting new opportunities on the way! 👀

AKC Canine Good Citizen and AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy classes will officially be coming to JJK9! 🎉 More information and registration details will be shared soon.

In the meantime, tell us below: What is one goal you’re working toward with your dog this fall? 🍂🐕

🐾💜 HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY! 💜🐾

Coming in fashionably late because apparently spending all day with dogs does not mean I’ll remember the holiday dedicated to them. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Dogs are quite literally the heart of what I do.

They’re our companions, our coworkers, our teachers, our comic relief, our comfort, and for some, a lifeline and a little extra independence. 🦮💜

I get the privilege of watching dogs learn, watching people learn to communicate with them, and watching incredible partnerships form right in front of me and I’ll never stop being grateful that this gets to be my job.

So here’s to the puppies, the seniors, the working dogs, the service dogs, the perfectly trained dogs, the hot mess express dogs, and every good boy & girl in between. 🐶

Give yours an extra treat from me tonight. 🫶🏼

Happy National Dog Day from Joyful Journey K9! 🐾💜

Long, hot, but such a good day! ☀️🥵💙

Photo dump from another full day of placement work. 🫶🏼🐾

Carter is transitioning over to his person so incredibly well, and my heart is just so full watching it happen. 🥹🦮

Watching the two of them figure each other out, learn how to communicate, build trust, and start forming their bond is truly one of the best parts of my job.

I’ve spent so much time teaching Carter what he needs to know for this moment and now I get to watch him learn his person. 💙

Little by little, he’s becoming less my trainee and more his service dog. 🥹

And that’s the whole point. 🫶🏼

No one walks alone. 💙🐾

🚨🐾 BIG NEWS FOR JOYFUL JOURNEY K9!! 🐾🚨

IT’S OFFICIAL!!! 🥹💜

I am now an APPROVED AKC CGC EVALUATOR! 🎉

This has been something I’ve been working toward behind the scenes, and I’m SO excited to finally be able to add this to the services offered through Joyful Journey K9!

As an AKC CGC Evaluator, I am now approved to administer:

🐶 AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy
🏅 Canine Good Citizen (CGC)
🌎 AKC Community Canine (CGCA)
🏙️ Urban CGC (CGCU)
🏠 Virtual Home Manners
🎓 AKC Trick Dog Tests

And we’re not stopping there! 👀

This also opens the door for me to pursue approval as an AKC Temperament Test Evaluator and AKC FIT DOG Instructor — both of which are absolutely on my radar.

I am constantly looking for ways to continue my education, grow as a trainer, and bring more opportunities to the dogs and handlers who trust me to be part of their journey.

I’m incredibly excited for what this means for JJK9 and our training community. 💜🐾

So… who’s ready to earn some titles?! 👀🏅🐕

Day 1: Success. 🐾💙

Good morning guys!! 🐾💜

Over the next few days, I’ll be hanging out in Texas for a very special trip placing Carter with his new person! 🥹🦮

Please be patient with me if I’m a little slower than usual responding to messages. These next few days will be busy, emotional, exciting, and most importantly, they deserve my full attention. 🫶🏼

I’ll do my best to get back to everyone as timely as I can, and I can’t wait to share some of the special moments from Carter’s placement with you all soon.

As always, thank you for your patience, your patronage, and your continued support of me and Joyful Journey K9. It truly means more than you know. 🐾💜

Texas, here we come! ✈️🤠

There’s just something special about watching dogs and their people grow together. 💜🐾

Once a month, we come together to train, challenge & grow — and today’s group session did exactly that!

We worked through distractions, practiced neutrality, built confidence, strengthened communication, and gave each team the opportunity to work through challenges in a supportive environment.

Group training isn’t about having the “perfect” dog. It’s about learning how to work together when the environment gets a little harder and celebrating the progress along the way. 🙌🏼

I’m incredibly proud of every team that showed up and put in the work today.

And truly, thank you to my clients for trusting me with your teams’ progress. Watching your relationships strengthen and your confidence grow is one of my favorite parts of what I do. 🥹💜

A special congratulations to Tina and Indi for earning High Point Team this month! 🏆🐾 What an amazing accomplishment — so well deserved!

Another great JJK9 group session in the books! 🐾

Does this look like something you and your dog would enjoy? Come join us!

For the safety and success of everyone involved, group sessions are exclusive to dogs I’ve worked with individually first. That allows me to know each dog, their needs, and where they are in their training before adding them to a group environment.

If we haven’t worked together yet but you want in, message me! Let’s get a session on the books before our September group meeting so you and your dog can join the fun. 💜🐾

See you next month!

Train. Bond. Thrive.
