Meet Buddy! Buddy has joined the Nine Realms Owner Trained Service Dog Program. He’s a silver Labrador Retriever and has started his basic foundation and exposure training.

Expanding Ronan’s tracking skills. I started the track on grass, switched to a sidewalk and scuffed grass song the sidewalk, then back to grass, and ending on these chunks of sidewalk again. Easy, hard, easy, hard. Easy to start off well, challenging portion to grow, easy to relieve the pressure and then the same challenge again. The barking dog was a nice surprise that didn’t phase him. . . ninerealmsk9 #spokanedogtrainer #spokanedogtraining #pnwdogtrainer #washingtonpolicedogtrainer #workingdogtrainer #policedogtrainer #trackingdog #detectiondog #protectiondog #protectionsports #policedogtraining #patroldog #narcoticsdetectiondog #germanshepherd #workinglinegermanshepherd #sablegermanshepherd

Meet Jax. Jax is a German Shepherd that struggles with dog reactivity on walks, some typical shepherd anxiety, and some grouchy behavior at the vet. I met Jax and his AMAZING owners at Regal Veterinary Clinic several months ago. I usually send all aggression cases to Method K9 but this dude reminded me a lot of Jager so I gave them my card. . . Jax’s owners have done a lot of training previously but were still getting stuck on walks. He still exploded at other dogs and pulled like crazy. This is lesson three. Barking at dogs? Under control. Pulling? Significantly reduced. Vet issues? Next step. He’s still got work ahead of him but he’s come so far already. Amazing owners putting in some amazing work, thank you for being open to new methods for your wonderful Jax. . . #ninerealmsk9 #spokanedogtrainer #reactivedog #heel #germanshepherd

Work should be play but play should never be work. . . Drogon is searching for his ball, building ball drive, the desire to hunt, work ethic, and learning how to work odor more efficiently. To a trainer, it’s work, teaching him these skills. To a puppy? It’s time to pounce in the grass! . . What’s the most important aspect of dog training? The dog must be having fun. So take a note from Drogons book and jump in the grass 😆 . . #ninerealmsk9 #spokanedogtrainer #spokanedogtraining #pnwdogtrainer #washingtonpolicedogtrainer #workingdogtrainer #policedogtrainer #trackingdog #detectiondog #protectiondog #protectionsports #policedogtraining #patroldog #narcoticsdetectiondog #germanshepherd #workinglinegermanshepherd #sablegermanshepherd #dutchshepherd #huntdrive #buildingdrive

Drogon started his first puppy track today, watch him rock it in the short video. . I start puppies tracking a couple of ways depending on the dog. Ronan started on food tracks because he had a Schutzhund background and so kept training familiar to start and then moved him away from food. Narsil and Daken did sight run tracks with a person holding them or watching from a crate. Selecting the method depends on the dog, their drives, and developement at the time of tracking introduction. . Do they like food but maybe aren't super into toys yet? Food tracks. . Do they like the ball? Sight run track with a ball a the end. Do they like to chase people or play tug? Sight run with a person at then end. . It was only me today so I tied the little pup to a tree (I know so terrible) and let him watch as I ran away with his ball and buried it in the grass. After returning to him, I let him go on his own, still on a leash for safety, and discover the hidden ball on his own. He had an idea of where the ball was but you can see when he gets closer he goes from visual to olfaction to find the ball. . The result of this training scenario is a puppy that is introduced to going out and looking for a toy, following human and environmental odor to a reward, and drive building. . . #ninerealmsk9 #spokanedogtrainer #spokanedogtraining #pnwdogtrainer #washingtonpolicedogtrainer #workingdogtrainer #policedogtrainer #trackingdog #detectiondog #protectiondog #protectionsports #policedogtraining #patroldog #narcoticsdetectiondog #germanshepherd #workinglinegermanshepherd #sablegermanshepherd #dutchshepherd #puppytracks #puppyimprinting

Diabetic Alert Dog Moo took a trip to the Casino today. She wasn’t phased by any of the noises, smells, or people. It was all rather boring in fact. 😆 Well done! . . #ninerealmsk9 #spokanedogtrainer #spokanedogtraining #pnwdogtrainer #spokaneservicedogtrainer #servicedogtraining #servicedog #medicalalertdog #diabeticalertdog #daniff
