Bootlegger K-9 Training & Rehab

I'm fuming right now.

Three innocent representations of God's creatures, discovered deliberately starved, neglected, and mistreated. IN A WEEK.

This is not okay. I am not okay. This is worse than doing it to a human, because a human has the ability to defend itself.

They don't.

If you see something, say something. If you need help with your pet, reach out. Help is there.

Do better.

So….

I like talking about what we can do for you and your dog.

I need to talk about what we-and any other dog trainer-CANNOT do.

1. We cannot cure chronic issues with just a few lessons. Some issues (reactivity, lack of socialization, dog marking, possessiveness/resource guarding) can take weeks or months.

2. We cannot guarantee 100% success. Some situations just can’t be fixed.

3. Consistency is KEY. If handlers don’t consistently follow our direction and go back to their old habits, then your dog just became ruler of the household. We can give all the training in the world to handlers and dogs - but if all the training goes out the window when we leave, than that’s the HANDLER’s fault.

4. Finally—I always tell my clients, “If you have questions, feedback, anything on your mind, call me. I am your trainer.” If handlers have questions or issues they need to discuss, and don’t call, then that’s on them. Mind reading isn’t in our job description. Training dogs and owners is what we do.

If you’re considering a trainer, we can help. Just remember these 4 key points, keep lines of communication open, and we will help your dog to SHINE!

It’s a hard conversation, but sometimes a necessary one.

We've been approached by a couple clients, asking about the dog daycare investigation in Roanoke. This is our official response.

Bootlegger K-9 currently has no connection to or knowledge of anything with the dog daycare investigation in Roanoke. Even if we did, every trainer and staff member believes in the statement, "Innocent Until Proven Guilty." We believe in every tenet and rule set forth in the Constitution of the United States and due process of law.

A great leader once said, "It's not the mistake that's made that defines one's character. It's the actions that are taken after the mistake is made that does." We believe in this. One. Hundred. Percent.
