🐾 Is your dog just “high energy”… or do they struggle to regulate that energy?

While some dogs/breeds absolutely have more energy than others, energy level and the ability to regulate that energy are two different things.

Training can teach dogs how to slow down, make thoughtful choices, settle, and navigate exciting situations without constantly living at 100%.

So we want to hear from you! 👇

Do you think a dog’s ability to regulate their energy can be taught, or is it simply part of who they are? Tell us what you’ve experienced with your own dog! 🐶💬

An overly excited dog with little communication and self control can be dangerous..

Pulling on the leash, jumping on people, etc. can all lead to unintended injuries!

Rocket’s dog training journey has been a special one. She has a whole new state of mind! She’s a truly awesome girl, and her mom is an incredible handler who’s now ready to take full advantage of the freedom they’ve both earned together.

Congratulations, Rocket, on graduating your training program! 🎓

Welcome, Violet! 💜

This sweet Basset Hound is an outgoing, loving puppy who wants to explore and be part of everything around her.

Violet is working on impulse control, engagement, and understanding that listening doesn’t stop when the environment changes. She’s also learning how to confidently navigate interactions with other dogs.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll be giving Violet plenty of opportunities to experience the world in a way that builds confidence rather than overwhelm. We’ll be working on impulse control, engagement, basic obedience, neutrality, environmental exposure, confidence building, and appropriate socialization with other dogs.

Because the goal isn’t just to teach Violet what to do, it’s to help her feel confident enough to make good choices wherever life takes her. 💜

Welcome to Smart K9, Violet! We’re so excited to watch this sweet girl grow. 🐶✨

🐾 Silver is officially back on track! 🐾

Silver came back to us for a refresher because, as she’s grown up, all that classic Labrador enthusiasm started getting a little harder for her family to manage. She’s happy, energetic, and always ready for whatever is happening, but slowing down and making good choices when she’s excited has been the bigger challenge.

This round of training was less about teaching Silver something completely new and more about bringing structure and consistency back into her everyday life. We worked with her family on leash walking, impulse control, threshold manners, recall, climb, and setting clear expectations for her throughout the day.

Silver is still very much our happy, goofy girl, but she’s heading home with her family better equipped to give her the structure she needs to succeed. But don’t worry, we’ll be seeing her back in our Daycare Program!

We’re so proud of you, Silver! ❤️🐾

🐾 Daycare days with a little more purpose! ❤️

Looking for somewhere your dog can spend the day while still getting opportunities to learn, practice, and have fun? We have a few daycare openings available!

At Smart K9, our goal is to give each dog a well-rounded day that includes physical fulfillment, mental enrichment, social opportunities, individual attention, and practicing calmness and neutrality.

Throughout the day, our handlers work with the dogs in their care to reinforce the skills they’ve already learned, encourage problem-solving, and give them opportunities to make good choices independently.

Because our groups stay small, we pay attention to what each individual dog needs rather than expecting every dog to thrive with the same routine.

✨ Openings for September 7th–11th are listed above!

Spots are limited, so email us to reserve your dog’s day!

Current daycare subscription clients receive discounted rates on additional days:
🐶 2-day/week subscription: $55/additional day�
🐶 1-day/week subscription: $57/additional day
�🐶 Non-subscription: $60/day

🐾 Welcome back, Woody! 💙

Over his first five weeks in basic obedience training, we watched him start choosing curiosity over hesitation. He became more comfortable navigating new environments, more willing to engage with his handler, and more confident in his ability to work through something unfamiliar.

Now, Woody is back for his 4-Week Off-Leash Day Training Program, and this time we’re taking everything he learned and adding a whole new level of freedom. 🐕

Our focus will be building reliability around greater distractions, strengthening his ability to make good choices without relying on a leash, and continuing to develop his independence.

Welcome back, Woody! We can’t wait to see what these next four weeks bring. ❤️🐾

🐾 Gable’s 6 weeks are officially complete! 🐾

When Gable first joined us, the world could be a lot. New places, other dogs, unexpected sounds, and things happening around him could quickly turn into barking or reactive behavior.

Six weeks later, we’ve seen a dog who is much more thoughtful about what’s happening around him. He’s learned to check in with his handler, work through distractions, walk more calmly, and, perhaps most importantly, not feel like he has to respond to everything he sees.

That doesn’t mean Gable will never have a big reaction again. Real life doesn’t work that way. It means he now has more tools to work through those moments, and his family has a better understanding of how to help him when they happen.

Some of the biggest changes aren’t always the flashy ones. Sometimes it’s seeing a dog walk into a new environment, noticing something that would’ve bothered him before, and choosing to keep moving. ❤️

Gable, you’ve put in a lot of work these last six weeks, and we’re really proud of you.

Congratulations, Gable! We can’t wait to see you thrive in our Daycare Program. 🐶🎓❤️

🐾 Your dog has plans… and they’re with Smart K9! ❤️

Daycare at Smart K9 is more than simply dropping your dog off to play all day. We believe dogs deserve a day that actually meets their individual needs, which is why our daycare is customized to the dog in front of us.

Each day can include a combination of:
🧠 Mental enrichment
🐕 Physical fulfillment
🧘 Practiced relaxation
🐾 Social activities

Whether your dog needs to burn some energy, work their brain, practice settling, or simply enjoy some positive social time, we build their day around what will benefit them most.

And before your dog can unlock daycare, we make sure they have the skills to safely and comfortably participate. This includes being able to walk on a loose leash around distractions, hold a place/climb for 30 minutes, have behavioral concerns appropriately managed, and remain calm and comfortable in a kennel when unsupervised.

Not there yet with your dog?

Our training programs can help you achieve these goals AND MORE!

Because daycare should be more than a place to spend the day, it should be an opportunity for your dog to learn, decompress, and have a fulfilling day while you’re away. ❤️

Ready to give your dog a day with a little more purpose?
