Calibrated K9

12/11/2025

Trigger and Koa would like to remind everyone that during the busy holiday season Yule want to book holiday boarding asap, before space runs out and you end up on the naughty list…unless your plan is to send the family on Christmas Vacation while you spend it Home Alone with the dog. While I fully support that idea and the notion will likely Die Hard, it probably means you’re a Grinch. 🎄

Back in March Kato and I, along with BUSAR were invited back (post about last year here) to the Air Force National Guard's Patriot Exercise, this year held at a few facilities around Savannah, GA. We made it a whole pack affair and brought Koa, who ended up becoming everyone's favorite fire pit snug...

PSA-Calibrated K9 will be rebranding by the end of the month due to unforeseen but truly awesome demand for chicken training, seemingly spurred on by current egg price inflation and the subsequent boom in backyard chicken ownership. Fowl based board and train programs inbound!

Paying tribute to current and former military K9 veterans on National K9 Veterans Day.
🐾🐾
On this day in 1942 the US Army launched the War Dog Program, establishing the Army’s K9 Corps.
🐾
Kato and I got to tour the US Air Force Armament Museum at Elgin AFB a year ago, and stumbled across this monument to our K9 warfighters while there.

Cheers and a belly rub to the dogs that have gone before, and to those who are currently working to keep our country safe! 🇺🇸

Weekend Pup-date!
🐾
Three shepherds and a chicken nugget…
🐾
Jack the GSD wrapped up his 3 week on leash program, and is headed home to the farm in the Nashville area soon. At 8 months old he sorely needed work on manners, walking appropriately, climb and recall, and channeling his big puppy energy in a productive direction.
🐾
Moose the GSD finished up his first of five weeks, and is showing huge improvements in working through leash aggression and general anxiety about life. Showing him proper communication and how to win while working has began building his confidence, showing him that there can be a better way to think and manage new situations!
🐾
Tex (Texas Ranger ❤️) the Aussie completed his first three week phase of his puppy program, and did it with panache! This little stud loves to work and always gives 100%, and is a blast to work with. He’ll be back in February to learn off leash freedom and fun!
🐾
Chuu the Chihuahua finishes up a custom program in a couple days, and has been super fun! She’s a feisty little burrito that loves to work, while also loving to do her own thing, while occasionally keeping myself and her mom on our toes by throwing some sass and stubbornness our way. Little dogs can be trained too!
