It takes time to learn for us and our dogs 🐕

You didn't learn to read overnight and your pup won't master every cue in a day either.

Each small step builds the foundation for something amazing 👏

Think enrichment has to be expensive? Think again! 🐾

You don’t need fancy puzzles or pricey gadgets to keep your dog’s brain buzzing. Some of the best enrichment ideas come straight from your recycling bin, backyard, or pantry!

Because enrichment isn’t about money…it’s about making life more fun for your dog. 💛

Growling isn’t bad behavior it’s communication.

When a dog growls, they’re saying, “I’m uncomfortable.” And that’s something we want to hear.

Because when dogs learn that their warnings are ignored or punished, they stop giving them… and that’s when bites happen.

Respect the growl. It’s your dog’s way of asking for space before things go too far.

Teach your dog that their feelings matter and help them feel safe enough to communicate clearly.

RK9 Training is officially 4 years old! 🎉

I can’t believe how far this dream has come, from my first few clients to the amazing community of dogs (and humans!) I get to work with every day.

To everyone who’s trusted me with their pups, cheered me on, or followed along here on Instagram, thank you!!

You’ve made these 4 years full of wagging tails, happy training wins, and so many unforgettable moments.

Here’s to more learning, laughter, and leash time ahead

Practice is where the magic happens ✨

Just like when you learned to read, it doesn't happen overnight. You started with small easy words and worked your way up to reading a whole book. Training is the same thing!

Short, fun, and consistent sessions are key to turning "I don't get it" to "I know this one!"

Want help to build a training plan that works for you both? Let's chat! 😃

Get fun with it! It doesn't have to look pretty (honestly the ugly looking ones are most dogs favorite)
