🌫️ Just because the skies look a little clearer doesn't mean the air is safe yet.
Wildfire smoke can still affect your dog's lungs, especially puppies, senior dogs, and those with heart or respiratory conditions. Over the next few days, try to keep outdoor time short, avoid strenuous exercise, and watch for signs of smoke irritation.
A little extra caution today can make a big difference in keeping your dog healthy and comfortable. 🐾

💜🐾 Meet Asher! 🐾💜

A little over five weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting Asher and his amazing family. From day one, it was obvious just how much they loved him and how dedicated they were to giving him the very best life possible.

When I first met Asher, he was a big ball of energy! He loved everyone, jumped all over the place, and had absolutely no off switch. (And honestly, that wasn't his fault.) He simply loved life and didn't know how to channel all of that excitement. His family had already given him a wonderful foundation and had worked incredibly hard with him. They just needed a little extra guidance to help him reach his full potential.

Over the last five weeks, watching Asher transform has been incredible. One thing that was extremely important to me was making sure he never lost that fun loving personality that makes him... well, Asher. Training isn't about changing who a dog is. It's about teaching them how to think, how to calm their mind, how to understand expectations, and how to build a stronger relationship with their family.

Asher learned that training is FUN. Every session he became more excited to work, more confident, and more eager to learn.

Throughout his journey, Asher learned:

🐾 Loose leash heel

🐾 Sit

🐾 Stay with and without distractions

🐾 Reliable recall

🐾 Door etiquette

🐾 Leave it

🐾 Greeting people without jumping

🐾 Better impulse control

🐾 Real world behavior modification

And so much more.

Watching his family grow alongside him was just as rewarding. They learned how to become leaders instead of simply members of his pack, creating clearer communication, more confidence, and an even stronger bond.

Being part of Asher's journey has truly been an honor. His family has put in an incredible amount of work, and I have no doubt they will continue building on everything they've accomplished together.

This is only the beginning! Over the next several days and weeks, I'll be sharing more photos and videos from Asher's training journey, and I can't wait for everyone to see just how far he's come.

Please help me congratulate Asher on successfully completing his five week program! 🎉🐾

If you enjoyed his story, please like this post, leave him some love in the comments, and share it with friends or family who may be looking for help with their own dog.

Welcome to the Reno's K 9 Language family, Asher! We are all so proud of you! 💜🐾

🎉 Super exciting news! 🎉

After what feels like forever, I'm finally back!

For the last few months, I have been completely locked out of my business page. I could see every post, every comment, every message, and every notification... but I couldn't like, comment, reply, post, or interact in any way. All I could do was sit back and watch, and let me tell you, it drove me absolutely insane!

I know it probably made a lot of people wonder if I was still in business. The answer is a huge YES! In fact, I've been busier than ever behind the scenes.

Over the last few months, I've had so many incredible dogs go through the program and successfully graduate. I've also had the privilege of helping dogs that were at risk of being rehomed or even euthanized because of behavioral challenges. Today, they're still happily and successfully living with their families, and I cannot wait to share their stories with all of you.

I've truly missed being able to connect with everyone here, answer questions, and share our journey. Thankfully, Facebook believes everything has finally been fixed, I've been given the green light, and today is my first attempt at posting again.

So let's keep our fingers crossed that everything is finally working! 🤞

Get ready, because the next few days are going to be full of updates, success stories, training tips, behind the scenes moments, and lots of amazing photos of some pretty incredible dogs. 🐾❤️

Thank you to everyone who continued supporting Reno's K-9 Language while I was stuck behind the scenes. I'm so excited to be back!

Do you recognize this handsome guy?
This is Kai, a 7 month old German Shepherd, and I had the opportunity to work with him and his previous owner as well as be part of the process that helped get him safely placed with the shelter so he can find the right home for his needs.
Kai is an incredible dog with so much potential. He is smart, driven, and just needs the right environment with structure, consistency, and an active lifestyle to truly thrive.
German Shepherds are not a one size fits all breed. They require time, training, and purpose, and Kai deserves a home that can give him exactly that.
If you or someone you know is experienced with the breed and looking for an amazing companion, I would highly recommend reaching out to Second Chance Animal Shelter to learn more about him.
If you are interested or have questions, feel free to send me a message as well.
Let’s help Kai find the perfect fit 🤍🐾

Kai - M - GSD - 7 months old. Kai came to us when his owner realized that he was going to be too much dog for her and required more activity & stimulation than she would be able to provide. A GSD is an incredible companion, but they were bred to work, think & stay active. Kai needs a home with:
1. Structure & Leadership - clear rules & consistency with all members of the household.
2. Daily Exercise (a lot of it!) - this isn't a "walk around the block" once kind of dog - Kai needs 1-2 hours of physical activity every day & mental stimulation like training, puzzle toys, or scent work.
3. Ongoing Training & Socialization - Kai hasn't been exposed to a lot of people, other dogs and a varied environment - he is young enough to overcome this with the right person.
4. A Job or Purpose - Kai isn't going to be a sit on the couch and watch the world go by kind of dog, he needs a "job"
5. Time & Attention - he needs an owner who won't leave him alone for long - being ignored = boredom = destructive behavior.
6. Secure Space - a fenced yard would be ideal.

Someone with GSD experience would be a bonus, these dogs aren't for everyone, but with the right person Kai is going to be an AMAZING lifelong adventure buddy!

Message our page for more information or to set up a meet!

Our shelter is committed to giving ALL breeds the second chance they deserve - Thank You to everyone who supports our mission.

🚨 CAUTION: PORCUPINES ARE OUT RIGHT NOW 🚨
I’m already seeing and hearing about dogs being taken to the vet for injuries from porcupines. This is happening right now in our area, so please be extra aware when you have your dogs outside.
Porcupines do not run away like other animals. Dogs get curious, go in to investigate… and it only takes one second for a face full of quills.
⚠️ What you should be doing:
• Keep your dog close and supervised
• Use a leash, especially at dusk and night
• Work on a solid recall / “leave it”
• Scan your surroundings before letting your dog roam
⚠️ If your dog gets quilled:
If you attempt to remove quills yourself, please be very careful.
Quills, especially from babies or smaller porcupines, can break off and go under the skin without you even realizing it.
Instead of working their way out, they can actually travel deeper into the body and cause serious damage, even affecting organs.
You must inspect your dog extremely thoroughly and continue to monitor them closely. When in doubt, always seek veterinary care.
💡 Also important:
If porcupines are becoming an issue in your area, please do not shoot or harm them.
It is not their fault how they were created. They are not coming after your dog… your dog is going to them out of curiosity.
This is simply nature.
If anything, please contact the proper professionals to have them safely removed or relocated, but please do not harm them.
This is one of those situations where prevention is everything. Once it happens, it’s painful, expensive, and traumatic for your dog.
🐾 Need help with training?
If you need help tightening up your dog’s recall, obedience, or behavior, reach out.
You can text, call, or send a message through Facebook and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Stay safe out there 🐾

🌟 Service Dog in Training Spotlight: Koda 🌟

Koda has been with me for several months now, and I just have to take a moment to recognize how far he has come… because his transformation has been incredible.

When Koda first started, even something as simple as getting into a vehicle or riding in one caused extreme anxiety. It was overwhelming for him. Fast forward to now, and this same dog will confidently jump into any vehicle, calmly lay down, and truly enjoy the ride.
That alone is huge.

But Koda didn’t stop there…
He now has: ✔ A solid loose lead heel
✔ Task training established
✔ Calm, neutral behavior in public
✔ Confidence in all environments, regardless of noise, children, or other animals
Koda has learned how to think, how to regulate himself, and how to exist in the world with confidence and clarity.

He will be continuing his journey with me for a few more months, and I couldn’t be more proud of the progress he’s made so far. Watching a dog go from anxiety and uncertainty to calm, capable, and reliable… that never gets old.

Koda is becoming everything a service dog should be, and it’s been an honor to be part of that journey 🐾💜
