Every year, countless dogs are put down, not because they’re beyond help, but because some people refuse to use proven training tools. Some would literally rather end a dog’s life than use a prong collar or e-collar responsibly.

So I’ve got to ask… if it came down to it, what would YOU choose?
👉 A properly used training tool
👉 Euthanasia

Carlos Ramirez, founder and training director of CRK9, is back with another hard truth.

In this new video from CRK9 Ocala, he dives into a reality most trainers won’t talk about:

Dogs don’t grow through comfort — they grow through challenge.
Balanced training isn’t about being harsh. It’s about being honest.
If we truly love our dogs, we owe it to them to teach them how to work through stress, not avoid it.

Say hi to WALLE!
He’s our newest Board & Train pup, and he’s already stealing hearts. We trained his sister a while back, and now his awesome family brought him to us for the same experience. Let’s go, WALL·E!

Another win from the CRK9 Idaho crew!
You might remember our last post about Remi thriving in the foothills… and they’re still on a roll. This time, Marcy holds a rock-solid place command while her owner climbs—real-world reliability that matters.

This kind of success is exactly why we do what we do. Obedience that transfers to everyday life. Confidence built through structure. And a bond that only gets stronger.

Major props to Kevin and the Idaho team for continuing to raise the bar. You’re showing everyone what Stronger Dogs really means.

This is why we do what we do! We love getting messages like this from our board and train families. Seeing the continued progress and real-life success, like Marcy rocking the 'place' command at the crag, makes it all worth it. Keep crushing it out there, Marcy and Briana!

This is what real dog training looks like.
No smoke. No mirrors. Just a happy Doberman named Remmie learning to sit, heel, and down—right here on our 18.5-acre property in Ocala, FL.

You’ll even catch our orange cat photobombing the session at the start (and yes—he stuck around the whole time).

This is a peek behind the curtain of our board & train program. Calm, consistent, customized for each dog—and built around trust and real-life distractions.

If you’ve been wondering what your dog’s days would look like with us… this is it.

Watch the full video and DM us if you’re ready to give your dog the structure and freedom they deserve.
