Looking for a Loving Home for Nala

Meet Nala — a sweet and playful 4-year-old pup looking for her perfect forever home. Her current family loves her deeply, but with the recent addition of a baby and some safety concerns, they’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to rehome her. Their only goal is to find a home that’s truly the right fit for Nala, where she can continue to thrive.

Nala is spayed, house-trained, crate-trained, and knows her basic commands. She’s wonderful with other dogs and absolutely loves to play, run, and explore. She’d do best with someone who has the time and energy to take her out on walks, adventures, or just let her enjoy the outdoors and burn off her playful energy.

She would be happiest in a home without young children, as she can get anxious with their unpredictable movements and energy. She’s not aggressive — just unsure — and needs a calm, structured environment where she feels safe and understood.

If you’re looking for a loyal, fun, and loving companion, Nala might be the perfect match.

Please message me if you’re interested or want to learn more. Let’s help Nala find the fresh start she deserves!

Helping Dogs Overcome Territorial Behavior & Alert Barking

Does your dog bark at every little noise or get overly protective at home? Desensitization is key! By gradually exposing them to different environments, sounds, and experiences, they learn to stay calm and confident. Taking your dog to new places helps them realize that not everything is a threat.

At The K-9 Dream, we work on real-world training to help dogs become well-adjusted companions. Recently, our training dogs visited the Bexar Fire Station to desensitize to sirens, loud noises, and new people—helping them build confidence instead of reacting out of fear or territorial instinct.

A huge thank you to the Bexar Fire Department for allowing us to train on-site and for everything you do for our community!

If your dog struggles with alert barking or territorial behavior, we can help! Call us at (210) 776-5230 or visit thek-9dream.com to learn more.

How to Train Your German Shepherd to Fetch Diapers for Your Baby

Preparing for a baby is exciting, and if you have a smart, eager-to-learn German Shepherd, you can train them to be a helpful part of your parenting team! Teaching your dog to retrieve diapers is not only a great way to bond but also a useful trick that showcases their intelligence and loyalty.

Why Train Your German Shepherd to Fetch Diapers?
German Shepherds thrive on having jobs to do. Training them to grab diapers for your newborn:
✔ Strengthens their problem-solving skills
✔ Provides mental stimulation
✔ Builds a deeper connection with your growing family
✔ Makes diaper changes easier and more efficient

Step-by-Step Guide to Teaching This Useful Skill
1. Establish a Reward System
Use high-value treats or praise to reinforce positive behavior. Consistency is key!

2. Teach the "Take It" Command

Start with a soft toy.
Encourage your dog to take it in their mouth, rewarding them when they do.
Gradually introduce a diaper (clean, of course) to get them used to the texture.
3. Introduce the "Bring It" Command

Place the diaper in a designated spot (e.g., a basket).
Point to it and say, "Bring it."
Reward your dog when they successfully retrieve the item.
4. Add Distance and a Cue

Gradually increase the distance between you and the diaper.
Pair it with a phrase like, "Get the diaper!"
5. Practice with Real Scenarios
Once your dog consistently fetches the diaper, start incorporating it into your routine. Reinforce their success with praise and treats.

Final Tips for Success
✅ Keep training sessions short and fun.
✅ Be patient—every dog learns at their own pace.
✅ Avoid using scented diapers that may encourage chewing.
✅ Reward enthusiasm, even if the attempt isn’t perfect!

Training your German Shepherd to fetch diapers is a practical, fun way to prepare them for your baby’s arrival. Plus, it ensures they feel included in your growing family. Try it out, and let us know how your pup does!

Update on Pigeon! 🐾

We’re thrilled to share that Pigeon finally has her cone off after being spayed, and she’s ready to find her forever home!

Pigeon is part of our foster, train, and rehome program at The K-9 Dream. She was rescued from ACS just in time, as she was on the euthanasia list. Despite her tough past, Pigeon has shown incredible resilience and a sweet, loving nature.

Pigeon gets along wonderfully with other dogs, people, and kids. She walks nicely on a leash and knows the command "sit." Pigeon loves following her person around, always eager to be by your side.

She enjoys rolling around, snuggling, and of course, treats! Pigeon is looking for a loving home where she can share her affectionate and playful nature.

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, Pigeon is the perfect match. Let’s help Pigeon find her forever home! 🏡💕

Fergus’ Day 5 Training Update! 🐾
We’re thrilled to share an update on Fergus, our Irish Wolfhound/Poodle mix, who is making impressive strides in his training! Here’s how Fergus is progressing on just his fifth day:

Leash Manners: Fergus, who used to pull his owner on walks, is learning to walk calmly on a loose leash. He’s responding well to the heel command and showing great improvement in staying by our side without pulling.
Mouthing and Jumping: Fergus had a habit of mouthing his owner’s arms and jumping on people. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, he’s starting to understand that keeping his paws on the ground and using his mouth gently earns him rewards and praise.
Basic Commands: Sitting on command was a challenge for Fergus initially, but now, after just five days, he’s responding much more reliably. We’re working on building his patience and ensuring he responds promptly every time.
Training Focus:
Consistency and Patience: By maintaining a consistent routine and using positive reinforcement, Fergus is becoming more reliable with each command.
Place Command: Fergus successfully stayed on his “place” for extended periods, showing remarkable improvement in his focus and patience.
Progress Highlights:
Fergus is becoming more confident, reducing his anxiety and excitement levels.
Stay tuned for more updates on Fergus as he continues his journey to becoming a well-mannered and obedient dog. We’re excited to see his progress and share his success story with you!

🐾 Enhance Your Dog's Training with Proper "Place" Command Techniques 🐾When teaching your dog the "place" command, it's crucial to reinforce positive behavior correctly. One key aspect is rewarding your dog while they’re still on their "place" rather than recalling them to give a reward. Here’s why this method is effective:Why Rewarding on "Place" Matters:Reinforces Desired Behavior: By rewarding your dog while they're on their designated spot, you strengthen the association between the "place" command and staying put. This helps your dog understand that remaining on the mat is what earns the reward.Avoids Mixed Signals: If you recall your dog to give them a treat, they might think the reward is for coming to you rather than staying on "place." This can confuse them and undermine the training process.Builds Duration and Patience: Rewarding while on "place" encourages your dog to stay longer and remain patient. Gradually, you can increase the duration they stay on their spot before receiving a treat, which improves their self-control and focus.How to Implement This:Use High-Value Rewards: Choose treats your dog loves to make staying on "place" more enticing.Gradual Increase: Start with short durations and gradually extend the time your dog stays on their spot before giving a treat.Consistent Commands: Use consistent commands and gestures to guide your dog back to "place" if they leave prematurely.Supporting Sources:According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), consistency in rewarding your dog while they’re on "place" is crucial for successful training. AKC GuideThe Spruce Pets emphasizes that rewarding on "place" helps dogs understand the value of staying put. The Spruce Pets GuideTeaching the "place" command with proper rewarding techniques ensures your dog learns to stay calm and focused, enhancing their overall behavior and making training more effective. 📍 100 Schneider Rd Unit F, Seguin, TX 78155 📞 830-433-4214 🌐 thek-9dream.com

🐾 Mastering the "Place" Command for Your Dog! 🐾Teaching your dog the "place" command is a fantastic way to instill calmness and control. The "place" command instructs your dog to go to a specific spot, like a mat or bed, and stay there until released. Here's how to get started:What Does "Place" Mean?In dog training, "place" means teaching your dog to go to a designated area and remain there until given permission to leave. This command is useful for managing your dog's behavior, especially in situations where you need them to be calm and stay put.Benefits of the "Place" Command:Promotes Calmness: Helps your dog learn to relax in a specific area.Improves Self-Control: Teaches your dog patience and impulse control.Convenient Management: Great for keeping your dog out of the way during busy times or when guests arrive.Teaching the "Place" Command:Choose a Spot: Select a mat, bed, or designated area for your dog.Introduce the Command: Use a leash to guide your dog to the spot. Say "place" and reward them with a treat when all four paws are on the mat.Practice the Stay: Once your dog is on the mat, use the "stay" command to keep them there. Gradually increase the duration they stay on the mat.Release Command: Use a release word like "free" or "okay" to let your dog know they can leave the spot.Consistency is Key: Repeat these steps regularly until your dog understands and follows the command reliably.Reinforcing the Command:Distractions: Gradually introduce distractions while your dog is on their "place." Reward them for staying calm.Distance: Practice sending your dog to their "place" from different distances.Duration: Increase the amount of time your dog stays on their "place."Teaching your dog the "place" command can significantly enhance their behavior and your ability to manage them effectively.
