Baby Yoda met his mandolorian...err...I mean future handler last night. K9 Yoda is a working malinois puppy from @millerranchk9 currently at RYP for his immersive puppy imprinting program. This pup is not for the new handler/feint of heart/weekend warrior dog owner...lucky for him his future human loves his crazy and cannot wait to turn Yoda (his second malinois) into a PSA monster and personal protection dog. Excited to say Yoda is now spoken for and K9 Chewy (another @mille

Run Your Pack represented at the 5th annual police K9 conference in las vegas last week. This is my second time attending this particular conference - and this year I managed to rope 2 others into making the trip with me : Matt (RYP's Decoy in Training) and Ben (owner of Calibrated K9 in Nashville, TN). Ben ALSO brought along K9 Kato - his black GSD that spent a week learning about SAR tracking/trailing at RYP last year. Kato is a good student... Here is a list of the classes

As a dog trainer I field questions such as these daily: 'Can you make my dog stop chasing deer?' 'How do I get my dog to stop biting me?' 'My dog doesn't come when called...instead prefers the game of chase - why is that?' 'UGH they are out of control and never listen to me!' We all have dogs in our lives for different reasons and I am not here to say 1 reason is better than another...but it IS important to remember that dogs are dogs. They come in different flavors and varie

Oaken just turned 10 weeks old and is KILLING it. This pup offers a wonderful balance of drive, stability and nerves. This program, developed by Top Tier K9 prepares puppies for bite work, tracking, scent detection, obedience and retrieve...Oaken is 1 of many puppies currently being imprinted around the country using this program. #oakenthedutch #dutchshepherd #workingk9 #puppy #malinois

Really proud of tonight's students and K9s. Everyone did a fantastic job teaching their pups the foundational game of scent detection! #nosework #scentdetection #workingk9 #runyourpack #dogtrainermissoulamontana

TOMORROW (02.05.18) = RYP SCENT DETECTION WORKSHOP This is a foundational class designed to get students started on practical application nose work skills...whether you are interested in developing a K9 that can indicate on bombs, narcotics, bed bugs, human remains or truffles...it all starts with the game of scent discrimination. Students to this workshop will receive foundational education in scent theory, drills and and a starter nose work kit including some brand spanking

I have lived with Shepherds pretty much my whole life. I just love their style. They are easy to train, loyal and they come equipped with a built in security system. I have spent many nights sleeping soundly in the backcountry with my dogs knowing that if I NEEDED to be awake - they would sound the alarm. At 4am on June 29th 2017 that particular security system was tested... June 29th, 2017 was an important day for a lot of reasons. It was my wife's birthday. It was also her

**STARTING THIS FEBRUARY*** Kicking off the RYP Bite Club! Goal for the club will be to get together weekly to work K9s in drive development and bite work. Perhaps in the future the club may angle towards PSA but for now it will just be a fun time for dedicated dog owners looking to do something fun and exciting with their K9.Openings in bite club are reserved for those that have completed a RYP foundational obedience program. If you are interested in hearing more about bite

I once heard a dog's drive broken down very simply by Ken Licklider of Von Liche Kennels...He said 'Dogs live for 4 things: Air, Food, Water, and Sex...and you better be making love to your dog every day.' (this is a polite version - the live version had more expletives. Anyone that has heard Ken speak understands what I am talking about...) This statement was made before he encouraged a group of stoic police K9 officers to stand up and make baby sounds and get animated in an
