BTK9’s Kennel Room
BTK9 had a new kennel room built in 2016! Equipped with heating and air, plumbing, state of the art security and fire suppression!
Dog Aggression
We don’t treat dog aggression. We treat the underlying cause (fear, anxiety etc)
Positive Associations
In dog training, creating positive associations with things that used to be negative to a dog can greatly reduce fear.
So, these taller K&H beds are a huge confidence booster for sweet Misty! She powered through these obstacles💪!

Chag's sister Pepper is super smart! We think having her here has been a real game changer for Chag💪. Having them work together/being on the same page is a real confidence booster for Chag😊.

Nova is doing so well so soon into her board and train . Shes using so much impulse control on place. If you remember. She would go after the smaller dog in the family😯. Place will help establish new boundaries.

This may not seem like much, but for Roscoe to lay down on his own AND stay on place is Huge for this little guy. Place helps dogs to slow their brains down so they can think clearer and focus better.
