We got in some great training sessions this week with the dogs at the Huron County Humane Society. 🐾

Imagine peaceful walks this summer - no barking, no lunging, just a dog who’s tuned in to you.

Our board & train program is designed for families who want real life obedience, neutrality around distractions, and a calmer home life.

Your new dog isn’t your old dog… and that’s okay.

It’s natural to compare, especially when your last dog was your best friend. But your new dog deserves to be seen for who they are - not measured against a memory.

Different temperament, history, genetics, and needs. Comparing isn’t fair to them.

Honor the dog in front of you. They’re not a replacement… they’re your next chapter.

We are always eager to work with all dogs both new and old! Visit us at www.coldwaterk9.com.

Even when we get a little downtime in between clients, training is still part of daily life here.

Our Labs getting some work in, and our Border Collie is always eager to pitch in with chores. 🐾

Meet Joey! 🐶

Joey is a one year old mixed breed and comes to us from the Huron County Humane Society. He’s spent most of his life in the shelter, and we’re currently working with him to help build his confidence outside that environment.

When Joey first joined us, he was incredibly timid and unsure. Before we can ask a dog to learn, we have to help them feel comfortable — and that’s been our focus. With time, patience, and consistent handling, Joey has started to trust, relax, and show us his playful, goofy side. He is beginning to engage more confidently in training.

Joey is looking for a calm home that can offer a quiet, predictable environment. He seems to do well with other dogs and even cats, but his ideal match will be someone who understands that trust takes time — and is willing to go at Joey’s pace.

If you think you might be the right fit for Joey, reach out to the Huron County Humane Society to schedule a meet and greet. He’s ready to continue growing with the right person at his side! 🐾

New Client Alert! 🐾

Kicked off training with Hank, the Scotch Collie, who joined with minimal obedience and a tendency to jump on guests. Our first session focused on engagement, implementing management techniques to address jumping, and establishing the foundation for solid obedience. Looking forward to his progress!
