📚🐾 Cloud K9 Book Club: Discover Your Dog’s Roots! 🐾📚

Did you know that the majority of Meet Your Dog by Kim Brophey dives deep into the fascinating world of dog genetics? 🧬🐶

This book breaks down our canine companions into 10 breed groups — helping us understand why our dogs do what they do, based on who they were born to be!

✨ Want to see which group your dog fits into?
Head over to thedogkey.com and answer 5 quick questions to find your dog’s category. If you’ve done a DNA test, does it match up?

👉 We’d love to know! Drop your dog’s results in the comments — did the Dog Key get it right?

Tomorrow, we will post Artemis, Summer, and Atla's results right here on Facebook and Instagram. 🐕

Let’s learn more about our pups together — one page (and one breed group) at a time! 💛🐾

Book Club starts 📆 on Sunday, July 20th right here on Facebook and Instagram.

📚🐾 Cloud K9 Book Club is Back! 🐾📚

“You are about to consider the common ground shared by various dogs as you never seen before. You are also going to see that you and your dog have more in common than you realized.” — Kim Brophey, Meet Your Dog

We’re excited to announce that our next Book Club pick is Meet Your Dog by Kim Brophey — a fascinating look at why our dogs are the way they are, and how understanding their nature can strengthen our bond. 📖✨

We kick things off on July 20th, and we’d love for you and your dog-loving friends to read along with us!

Let’s discover what makes our connection with dogs so extraordinary — and how we can make it even better. 💛🐶

👉 Book Club is held HERE on Facebook and Instagram. We hope you'll join us as we dive into our dogs.

🌟 Honoring Juneteenth 🌟

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, and joy.

At Cloud K9, we believe in creating safe, supportive spaces — for dogs and for people. That means listening, learning, and doing our part to promote equity and inclusion in everything we do.

🐾 Let’s take a moment today to reflect, uplift Black voices, and celebrate freedom.

🌿 Out and About at La Llorona Park! 🐾

This week's Out and About class took us to the beautiful trails along the Rio Grande River. Our canine students practiced real-life skills like coming when called, polite leash walking past other dogs and people, and good manners around joggers and bicycles 🚲🐕

Even without a group photo, here’s one of my own dogs enjoying the same scenic spot—because every training adventure should come with a view! 🌄🐕

Want to help your dog build confidence and manners in the real world? Our next Out and About Series will run this fall, but we have private lessons available all year long.
