🐾 Same Streets, Different Struggles: Diesel & Wall-E Take on the Kentlands! Two dogs, two very different training journeys, and one shared goal: learning how to navigate the world without reacting to everything in it! 🌎🐕 Today, Diesel and Wall-E headed to the Kentlands for some real-world…

📣 MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?! 🐾 Elliot is back, and today we’re showcasing his public access skills and leash manners! 👏🐕 Will Elliot be a service dog one day? 🤷‍♀️ Who knows! But one thing I will ALWAYS advocate for is teaching your dog how to navigate the world politely and confidently…

🥄🐾 TEACHING HEEL SHOULDN’T REQUIRE A CHIROPRACTOR! 😂 Diesel is almost 15 weeks old, and our little man is officially working on his left-sided heel! 💙 Now, here’s something I see ALL the time as a dog trainer: People want their dogs to walk nicely beside them, but they either don’t know where to…

🐾 MORE THAN JUST DOG TRAINING — WE’RE THEIR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! 🐾 At K9netic Pack, we do more than Board & Trains and private lessons. Sometimes, your dog doesn’t need a training program — they just need a safe, comfortable place to stay while you’re away! 🏡🐶 We offer short-term and long-term…

Sammy understood the assignment… and he’s getting GOOD at it! 🔥 We’ve been documenting Sammy’s scent work journey, and the progress has been incredible! 🐽 Step 1: Imprinting – Teaching Sammy to recognize and build value for his target odor. 🧠 Step 2: Change of Behavior – Watching that moment when…

Meet Wall-E 🐾 — our newest 5-Week Board & Train dog!

Teddy’s first private lesson = unlocking the invisible leash 🔓🐾 You’ve seen Teddy before, but today was his first official private lesson — and we introduced e-collar conditioning with Mom. Before we ever ask the e-collar to mean something, we teach the dog what the sensation means AND teach the…

PLACE: It’s more than just a command. 👏🐾 Today Huxley took his training on the road to Tractor Supply! Huxley can be selective about unfamiliar people, particularly men, so one of our biggest goals is teaching him that he doesn’t have to interact with everyone he sees. He can simply exist, stay…

🍂 Fall Weather? The Pack Doesn’t Care. 🐾😂 Rainy, gloomy, and officially feeling like fall… but that doesn’t mean playtime is canceled! Rhody, Paisley, Snoopy & Sammy took the fun indoors for today’s structured playgroup. 🐕💨 At K9netic Pack, we believe dogs should be dogs! That means opportunities…

POV: Your dog doesn’t like strangers… so we stop asking him to. 👀🐾 Huxley is especially uncomfortable around unfamiliar men, and his goal isn’t to become the dog who wants pets from everybody. His goal is neutrality + control. In this session, a complete stranger happened to arrive with an…

🐾 SAMMY FOUND HIS THING. 👃🏼 Day School isn’t just about teaching a dog to sit, stay, and walk nicely. It’s about finding out what makes them light up. For Sammy, we’ve been mixing his training with fun, brain-building work. He’s learning tricks like Turn and Touch, building his engagement, focus…

🐾 HUXLEY TAKES ON TRACTOR SUPPLY 🛒 Today was outing day for Huxley! One of the biggest reasons Huxley is here for training is his fear of men—especially unfamiliar men. So naturally… where did we take him? Tractor Supply. 😂 Because if you need a place to casually run into men wearing boots, hats…

Disc Dog Loading… 🥏🐊 We’re still VERY much in the beginner stages over here 😂 Right now, Loki is learning the basics: track it, catch it, bring it back, repeat. Disc is such a fun way to channel that Malinois energy into something that uses his brain, body, toy drive, and love of working all at…

🐾 STRUCTURED GROUPS: LET DOGS BE DOGS. At K9netic Pack, we don’t believe humans need to micromanage every interaction. Sometimes, the best teacher for a dog is another dog. Our structured groups allow dogs to communicate, play, set boundaries, disengage, and learn appropriate social behavior from…
