K9 Connection Pet Dog Training

Group Leash walk this Saturday for Basic Manners Grads - Inviting Puppy Grads too! Get those youngsters out with some mentors! Go to www.k9petdogtraining.com to book your spot.

My latest favourite outdoor dog toy is the egg shaped Jolly Ball. If I had a herding breed dog I'd get the bigger bouncier balls and really have a good time chasing balls instead of the children!

Graduation puppies!

Get your puppy fix!

Double trouble. So cute.

A real whipper snappers

This is an old article but good information for new puppy owners. Puppies will put everything in their path in their mouths. We can accidentally increase the value of mushrooms if we pull it out of their mouths. Or teach them to quickly swallow as we approach them. Be proactive and pull them out. Watch for mushrooms and redirect your puppy's attention by scattering kibble in the opposite direction. Puppies would have more fun 'hunting' for kibble than mushrooms, rocks, bark mulch etc.

When it comes to problematic dog behaviour you can never overlook health or diet to find the root of the problem. This is worth reading as you are the advocate for your dog. We don't expect our Dr.s to get it right first visit so keeping track of change in behaviour is very important to discuss with your vet. It's a real puzzle sometimes.

The Dummies went to day care today. They were assisting with puppy class.

Using the dummies to create confident leash handling. I think I can retire Jax now. I’m amazed on how well it worked. I am so use to using Jax!

I’m having fun with the dummy dogs. BTW I’m referring to the stuffed dogs. Lol. Thanks Catherine Adams for lending me your dummies! I still laugh at when you thought I was asking to use your dog. Priceless!

Leash walk turned into a Frenchie walk.

Memories of Boo 18 years ago

Captured a few grads! It was fun working with people on Zoom then splitting some play classes into small groups. These pups won’t have a problem with masks!

A few more cuties.
