Rottie x Beringer holding a climb command while I get the fire going in the yurt. Ber is a board and train client that is halfway through his 3 week training program. Today his handlers will come out for a 1 on 1 lesson while we all practice social distancing in the yurt. Most standard leashes are 6’ long thus giving us all a benchmark for distance while working dogs as we humans deal with 😷. #workyourpack #runyourpack #keepyourpackhealthy

GSD Ceasar kicked off his board and train program this week. This handsome brute is learning his positions in german! Why? Because why not!? We are happy to train dogs in German, French, Dothraki, Klingon you name it! #runyourpack #workyourpack #germanshepherd #dogtrainingmissoula

Ms Greta kicked off her board and train program this week! This rottie golden cross was a puppy imprinting graduate that is now training beautifully as she begins to learn leash communication patterns🐾 #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack #workyourpack

Blue cockapoo, Lucky, kicked off his board and train program this week. This little guy struggled with reactivity that stemmed from nervousness/not knowing what else to focus his energy on. His first couple days started with quiet 1 on 1 sessions empowering him to understand the language of directional leash pressure. Once his brain started keying into patterns he immediately began building confidence focusing on the game of leash pressure. Today he took big confident steps f

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

Aww yeah Chewy found his co-pilot! K9 Chewy is a @millerranchk9 malinois that has been going through his working dog imprinting program here at RYP for the past month. He still has another month to go but today he met his future handler!!! She is an experienced malinois owner that wants a dog for SAR and PSA. Chewy will fit the bill nicely for both avenues! Excited to see and be apart of this team’s development! #workingk9s #malinois #workyourpack #runyourpack #sardog #psak9

Smiling Shooter kicked off his board and train program this week. He is a super sweet guy that is a bit shy at first...quickly developing confidence through clarity in communication and structure! #runyourpack #workyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula

Dawa is in for off leash training. This less common long coated version of a Belgian shepherd is called a Groenendael. Unlike her malinois cousin, Dawa is much more calm and relaxed but still thrives with clear structure and purpose to her day. #workyourpack #runyourpack #Groenendael #dogtrainingmissoula

1.5 year old malinois Gunner FOR SALE to WORKING HOME. This sweet natured guy was an RYP client last summer - due to life circumstances his owner needs to rehome. Gunner is now at RYP being tuned up in obedience and is available to the right home. This dog comes from Holland and is very well bred. Great personality, great drives : overall a stellar malinois. He is available to be dialed up for Law Enforcement or an experienced civilian handler eager to do SAR, PSA (or other

Big boy Bear kicks off his board and train at RYP. This handsome brute is relearning how to work WITH a leash not against it both during walks and with his stationary commands. #germanshepherd #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack #workyourpack

Awesome Angie is a familiar face in for a board and train refresher. She is a graduate of our foundational obedience program, is an up and coming man hunter and helps out her handler who teaches K9 first aid classes around the country. Being that Angie and her handler frequently travel together we added in some tight quarters engagement games to give this drivey GSD some brain work on longer trips in cars/on planes. See the story above (for the next 24 hours) to see her worki

Meet Gaia, newest recruit in for puppy imprinting! This pup has some Newfie, pyr, heeler and border collie in her bloodline. It’s really neat to work with a young dog and get a sense of which breed’s temperament is prevalent based off how they think and learn. In Gaia’s case the border collie brain and eagerness to problem solve shined in her first lesson! #puppyimprinting #runyourpack #workyourpack

BIG project started today. Very excited! I’ll give you an emoji hint 📹 🐶 📱 🌎 #workyourpack

2 parts rottie 2 parts golden : meet K9 Greta! This little cutie just kicked off her puppy imprinting program in the yurt today! #runyourpack #workyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula

Puppy imprinting in the dojo yesterday. Obstacle, surface, sound socialization...obedience prep...handling drills. Here you see young @maligator_delta_echo working through a body awareness/obstacle drill like a champ. The magic formula for any kind of socialization is to become a powerful and engaging presence in your puppy’s life - then, you can use that engagement to introduce puppies to new challenges and environments with neutral/positive outcomes. Socialization, at its c
