I've noticed a growing interest in monthly training programs for: , , , and foundations. I'm excited to announce that in August I will be launching a training group with monthly videos and exercises on Facebook called Training With Ashley Yanez.

It's a small monthly fee to join and can be canceled anytime.

If there's enough interest, I will add an advanced tier that includes agility handling practice for small spaces.

Drop your questions in the comments. And if you're interested, let me know below!

De-shedding treatment is a great way to get rid of that undercoat so it doesn’t end up on your floors. This is just one of many steps of the de-shed treatments Ashley Yanez

Ashley Yanez here! In this video I am working Ranger. Ranger is a 10 month old Great Dane who still has more growing to do!! We are working on building our relationship, getting snappier behaviors such as drop and down, and there is even a sole impulse control to not steal the toy till released. A little pro tip when it comes to playing tug: if the dog re-grips the toy make it run away. Part of tug is staying focused enough to keep tugging till cued otherwise. -9dayacademy

“Fear-Free” is a buzz word that I’ve heard thrown around quite a bit. And if I’m quite honest, it’s driving me crazy.
Let's Talk About What “fear free” Actually Means.

Fear is not bad. Fear is normal and often essential for survival.

If your dog is nervous about grooming, vet appointments, or going to new places, that's not a flaw, that's a dog being a dog.

But here's the problem: "fear-free" has become code for permissive.

Letting a dog scream in a crate? Not okay.
Letting a dog bite, flail, and use their head as a weapon during nail trims? Not okay.
Using fear as an excuse to avoid setting boundaries? Not okay.

Is there anything that we can do actually do about it?

Yes, yes, yes!!

 It all starts with slow slowing down and taking the time to desensitize our dogs to environments and equipment and conditioning them to change their emotional response. This is why I have decided to train my team and offer Desensitization and Conditioning Sessions. These will be short, 15-minute visits where your dog gets to explore the studio, meet a member of the team, and have a genuinely positive experience in the environment. No grooming. No pressure. Just the goal to earn your dog’s trust and build a relationship with them. As a bonus each handler will go home with homework to make future experiences even better.

These sessions are available now. If you'd like to learn more or book a session for your dog, click the link below or send us a message. Our team will be happy to talk through what a session will look like for your dog.

Also, if you’ve read this entire post and made it this far, please share. This is a very unique service and can change a lot of lives for the better. Especially our puppies ❤️❤️
