Watch a short video detailing how far our beloved Rottie “Tug” has come since we first got him to today, he is living proof! Tug has transformed from being an aggressive “orphan” to a cherished and loving member of our family.
Akasha is settling right in and getting the hang of the routine around here! Here’s a look into her session with Trainer Jason today! We’re bonding and building her confidence through play and she is loving every minute of it! 🥰

Coozie’s an anxious guy and very clingy. Duration place work should help with that! We’re teaching him that there’s no need for him to be involved with everything he sees and that it can be very rewarding just to hang out on place! He’s catching on quickly!

Willow has been working hard to get comfortable wearing a muzzle! We first started the process by simply marking and rewarding whenever she’d even move toward the muzzle and now she comes running and shoves her nose into it whenever we present it to her! Proud of this girly!

Raya went home today and her mom is already sending us amazing updates😊. That being said, there's a transition period many times or a "honeymoon" when a dog goes home. That's where consistency comes in💪. Good job Raya!

Suki is moving right along with her impulse control! These exercises will help her in other areas of impulse control like, counter surfing and chewing😉.

One of the main reasons Roo came to BTK9 was due to how vocal he was in his crate when his family gave any attention to his fellow Pug-mate. We purposefully placed Roo's crate in our main training room so we can immerse him to exposure to other dogs. Roo is picking up quickly that he can just relax in his crate while life goes on around him!
