This is a great example of how you can start working with your dog to decrease their noise sensitivity.

Im joining the bandwagon - you can blame K9 & Leaf K9

4th of July - It's challenging for many dogs & and handlers, too (it's me, im the handler)

So, as many posts will say , get in touch with your vet now, appointments may be weeks out, and if your dog needs medication, dont wait

IN ADDITION - Be prepared

🔴 Have an exercise plan for the day. If you use a doggie daycare and they're open, that can be a great option
⚪️ Ensure tags and microchip have current information, and this is my plea. Get Your Dog Microchipped
🔵 I know you dont want to think about it, but make your lost poster now. Include a current high-quality photo of your dog now (not their 4 years ago puppy headshot) - and also take a current photo of you and your dog together in case you need to proove ownership
🟥 If you have the luxury of yard, check for fence gaps, weak spots, and dig holes and make repairs
⬜️ Training - Did you know you can train your dog to be less stressed about fireworks? Need help, that's what I'm here for
🟦 Have fun - there's many ways to enjoy the holiday with your dog, and while it can be stressful don't allow others to steal your joy

Many people don’t realize that before a Search & Rescue K9 can become certified, they must first earn their AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. The CGC is an evaluation through the American Kennel Club that assesses both temperament and obedience skills in real-world settings outside the home. It’s available to any dog and handler team — not just working or show dogs.

This past Friday, Deja officially earned both her CGC and CGC Urban (CGCU) titles! 🎉

The CGCU is AKC’s advanced public access test and is completed in real-world public environments. Together, these evaluations required Deja to successfully complete 20 different tasks, including food refusal and a supervised separation exercise.

At just 1 year old, Deja handled every task confidently and didn’t miss a beat. I’m incredibly proud of how far she has come and excited to check off another important milestone in our Search & Rescue journey.

As a fun bonus, she also earned her Novice Trick Dog title. 💜

Huge thank you to Matt Veira for evaluating us, Mandy Bauer for the action shots, and both Summer Lyn Peterson and Mandy for always being such incredible training partners and support.

Here is board and train Brie and her 2 week progress video!

Also my first time doing a voice over and I love it. My alignment is a little off at the end but this was cut 13,427 so I wasn't about to redo it. 😂

Toji was with us for a 4 week board & train.
He came in needing work on impulse control, handler focus, responsiveness to cues, obedience training and electric collar training. Toji got into a scuffle with a housemate dog and broke into his families pig enclosure and chased the pigs. He just turned a year old and weighs roughly 80 #'s. He's an intense dog with fairly high prey drive.

He spent 4 weeks working hard with us. He made great progress in each of the areas we focused on and the most exciting part is now that he's back home, he's continuing to do very well.

Toji still needs continued training in order to reach some of the goals we have set for him but he is off to a fantastic start!

Here's an update from his family.
