Photos of the Week

Dogs and their handlers look forward to Saturday classes because The K9 Clinic makes training fun. Sit, stay, down, heel are just the beginning of the many things you can teach your dog to do! Agility training can build your dog’s confidence as well as a better bond between you and your dog. It looks like Frank (the chocolate labrador) was out late cruisin’ the night before class! Wake up Frank! Iron Dogs come in all sizes! Bob and Sharon demonstrate excellent off-leash handling of their dogs, showing their dogs can stand, sit and  down from a very long distance during a recall exercise. Ya, but  can they cook dinner and knit a sweater? “Hey mom, isn’t it cool to have double the fun that everyone else here has?” “Hmm… I could be wrong, but I think someone else was here on this ramp before me. I’m not 100% sure. I’m taking a wild guess.” “One! Singular sensation … every little steps she takes!” “One! Thrilling combination … every move that she makes!” “Um, errr..isn’t this the audition for A Chorus Line? “ “Yup Mom, I agree,  that punch line was hilarious! Brilliant even!” “Does this poodle go with my beard?” Honey blasts out of the yellow tunnel like a rocket toward mom. “Oh my dogs! Dad, this is so fun. You gotta try it!” New recruits line up!

The K-9 Clinic photo editors are catching up on all the great photos they have in their archives. Here are some photos from early spring training days of 2009 at The K-9 Clinic.   It’s a beautiful spring training day at The K-9 Clinic! Dogs can be trained by handlers of all sizes and ages! “Dog training is a great opportunity to work on my tan. Pass the baby oil.”  “All I need now is a cold iced tea with a lemon wedge. Blondie, can you make yourself useful and go see the help about getting me one of those?” Dog handlers are either: 1. Trying to figure out just how hard it is for a dog to lay down, 2. Got really tired and decided it was nap time during the middle of training or 3. Trying to surprise their dogs. Hmm…which is it? “You can ruuunnn…but you can’t hide!” “Hmmm… is this the ‘which hand the treat is in’ guessing game?’ “Come on! Show us what’s behind your backs!” “Excuse me, is this seat taken?”
