Rockstars! All of you!🤩
Why do we reward a dog? To give them pay for a job well done!👏🏼
*
Is your dog engaged with you? If you make learning fun, chances are your dog will pay more attention to you and be more engaged with you!🤩
*
This is Lily, the Bull Terrier getting some playtime with Trainer Madison 👩🏻🏫

Although training is our top priority, we always treat our training dogs as one of our own. While the use of food/treats can be a great motivator during training, a little playtime and some belly rubs are also just as important, and can be great rewards after a long day of training - and guess what? Our trainers love it as much as the dogs do!🥰🐾
*
Training is what we do, but we know that making training fun is an essential part of the program. It keeps the dogs motivated because dogs are very social creatures - they really just want to please their people and need to be engaged. Social bonding is as necessary as food, water and shelter for a dog's quality of life, so make sure to incorporate play into your daily routine with your dog - your dog will thank you for it! ❤️
To all our clients, now our friends - thank you. ❤️ You are the reason we do this. ❤️🐾
In this video, you can see how useful the “Place” command can be in helping a dog understand that being calm and not giving into impulse (to chase the ball, to chase the food, etc.) is always an available option. It’s all about impulse control!
•
Natalie helped Ilsa learn and master this skill through a series of steps and markers that she repeated over and over again until each step in the process became “normal” for Ilsa, allowing her to fully relax into the command.
•
If you’re watching and picturing how nice it might be to be able to take your dog out to a coffee shop, restaurant, the park, the beach, and not have to worry about your dog’s behavior in the midst of distractions, we can help you make this a reality!
Here’s a mini-demo that we shot earlier today of Natalie working on “Place” command with Ilsa - today is only Ilsa’s 2nd day of training and it’s pretty amazing to see how sharp she is already!
🤓
From our family to yours, we wish you all a beautiful day! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah 🕎, Christmas🎄, Kwanza, Festivus, or simply the Joy of waking up to another day (hopefully with a dog nearby! 🐶🥰) we wish you a Merry Everything. We are so grateful for our clients and wish you all the love your hearts can hold! 🥰❤️🐾❤️🐾🥰
All the cool dogs are doing it. 🐾🐾🐾 PackWalk!🐾

The trainers at KNine Solutions are proud to offer Schutzhund training! 🎓
Meet the lovely Luna, our Dog Of The Day 🙌🏼🐶🐾
Luna was brought to us by her owner due to issues with resource guarding and aggression.
She is a unique case, as she once was a feral dog from the streets of Bali! 🇮🇩
We’ve been working with Luna and her owner on and off for the past 6 months - and what an amazing little dog she is! She clearly thrives in an environment where she can learn new skills, and you can see she has laser-focus! What a smart girl!! 👩🎓

early work on a leash with Ellie. As you can see she is in a very high state of alert, anxious, and certainly not calm. she needs a lot of calm and good exposure through some meaningful leadership in the world. #kninesolutions #gsd #anxiousgsd #focusedwalk #sbdogtrainers #sbdogtrainer #sbdogtraining
