Rain, mud, mustachios...New decoys took their first licks and all K9s had a blast doing their thing. If this looks fun it's because it is...

Oaken working on focus with distractions and muzzle acclimation.

K9 Thor is a 7.5 month old Belgian Malinois...He is a rad little dude AND the newest member of the RYP PSA Club. Here is a quick feature of some of the work we have been doing over the last month during his 4 week 'PSA Prep' board and train program. PSA (Protection Sports Association) is a growing sport that challenges K9s and their handlers to work as a team through advanced levels of obedience and protection while navigating environmental scenarios, stressors and obstacles. The RYP PSA Club currently meets every week to train, plan and prepare for future trials. In 2019 we will be hosting workshops as well as traveling out of state with our K9s to continue our education and collaborate with other trainers/handlers. To compete at any level in this sport requires incredible dedication and years of consistent training...so it helps to have a fun supportive bunch to work with 🙂 --If you would like to find out more about this sport visit psak9.org --If you would like to find out more about training/being involved with club visit www.runyourpack.com

Last summer Peach (as a 4 month old pup) did a 5 week shed hunt and obedience program. As shed hunt season approaches Peach and her owner came by for a refresher train. Laid out antlers all over the property...Peach easily found all of them! Owner and I will continue working on refining and advancing search patterns as the season approaches but for a 9 MONTH OLD PUPPY she is already a machine. Proud of both K9 and her handler. Happy Hunting!
