Tomorrow the doors officially open and the roster is stacked with a full house of K9s in for different levels of trainin

Sit. Stay. Save my ass.
It’s past midnight in a torrential downpour. We were alone somewhere above 12,000 feet in the backcountry of Colorado. I was soaked, scared, freezing and lost…That’s when Schuck Handsome saved my ass… Anyone that has ventured into a conversation with me about dogs and training knows that I hold a canine’s perceptive ability to a high regard. Arrogance often leaves humans wondering ‘why that dog cannot learn…’ when the truth is, more often than not, that we are just failing to

She know 'paw'? Nope...but check this out...
I saw this video awhile back… I thought…ok that’s pretty badass. I want to train my next shep to do that. Now, I am by no means ‘tactically’ trained like the gentlemen in the video above, but I still think the notion of having a dog with obedience/bitework control paired with a firearm in this manner is pretty slick.

The Run Your Pack Wilderness Immersion Package
Run Your Pack is excited to announce our new ‘Wilderness Immersion’ board and train package. What does this mean for your dog? Well, in a nutshell, it means that you, the human, may just be jealous about where your dog gets to stay while they are being trained… Set back in a secluded setting in the mountains of western Montana: your dog will get 1 on 1 training and care while they run in the woods, drink from a fresh mountain creek and sleep right in the trainer’s home: a pea

Origin of the Orange Bandana
Schuck Handsome has donned the orange bandana since he was about 1. Prior to having his iconic blaze, we often ran into trouble around town. We would be happily walking along enjoying a warm Missoula afternoon when a SHRIEK/GASP/SCREECHING TIRE would interrupt our placid walkabout. The cause of this disruption was/is always an overzealous pretentious dog owner that MUST be heard...From here I would have some variation of the following conversation:
I will use 'Uppity Lady W
