DSK9 - Where Your Furry Friends Are Treated Like Family!

 This course is designed for new dog owners and puppies or adult dogs without any prior formal training in essential canine manners and basic commands such as heeling, sit, down, stay, come, go to place, and stand for examination. The training in this course is conducted on-leash, providing a controlled environment. Leashing your dog serves multiple purposes, including protecting them from accidentally ingesting harmful substances, controlling their speed to minimize the risk of injury, and maintaining a safe distance from other dogs that may pose a potential threat. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of ensuring your dog has received necessary vaccinations and undergone spay/neuter procedures for their overall well-being. 

 Unleash the full potential of your canine companion through our Behavior Modification course at Desert Storm K9. Tailored for both puppies and adult dogs, this course focuses on addressing and reshaping behaviors that may hinder a harmonious relationship. Our certified trainers employ positive reinforcement techniques to modify undesirable behaviors such as aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, and more. Through a structured curriculum, you'll learn effective strategies to foster positive behavior, enhance communication, and build a strong bond with your K9 companion. Join us on this transformative journey towards a well-behaved and joyful partnership with your four-legged friend. 

Our diverse range of courses caters to clients facing physical or mental challenges. For individuals using wheelchairs, our training focuses on empowering dogs to perform essential tasks like retrieving items, opening doors, and aiding with daily activities. Specifically trained mobility dogs provide support for those dealing with vertigo, balancing issues, and wheelchair assistance.

Moreover, we offer specialized training for dogs to serve as EMS (Emotional Support Animals). These empathetic companions are adept at calming, reducing anxiety, and offering valuable companionship to individuals dealing with depression. It's important to note that certified Service Dogs are legally recognized as medical equipment, granting them the privilege to accompany disabled individuals in any public space.

For those seeking therapy-oriented canine companionship, our Therapy Dogs undergo training to be docile, calm, and non-threatening. Their exceptional tolerance to touch makes them suitable for visits to children's hospitals, senior adult nursing homes, and schools during sensitive times, such as after traumatic incidents like teen suicide or shootings. Join us in creating powerful partnerships that enhance both human and canine lives.

 Enroll your pet in our course designed to train them to respond to voice commands, using their bark as an effective deterrent. This specialized training will teach your pet to sound an alarming bark on command, creating a sense of security. Whether you're at home, running errands, or your residence is temporarily unattended, your pet will be equipped to ward off potential intruders, especially when someone approaches windows, doors, or your vehicle. This command is versatile and can be applied to situations like jogging, instantly projecting an assertive demeanor. Particularly popular among families, seniors living alone, and women, this course enhances both the safety and peace of mind of pet owners. 

 Navigating our adoption process is clear and uncomplicated. We incorporate essential training elements, such as obedience imprinting, crate training, housebreaking, and attention-focused exercises to ensure that your puppy reliably pays attention and isn't easily distracted from you as the owner. Additionally, this course offers the option of instructing young children on proper puppy handling and socialization techniques. It's a comprehensive approach to building a strong and positive foundation for both your family and your new furry companion. 

For individuals seeking a canine companion capable of protection in situations of genuine threat, our specialized course is tailored to meet your needs. After a thorough interview with our Master Trainer, you can explore various approaches within this program. Options include training the dog to bite on command while on a leash, ensuring a controlled response, with a simultaneous command for the dog to release. Off-leash training is also provided, teaching the dog to bite and then release upon command.

It's crucial to note that our Defense Protection Dog program differs from dogs trained for aggression or chasing. The emphasis here is on teaching the dog to bite only in situations where there is an imminent danger of an assault on you, your loved ones, or in defense of your property or business. Your safety is paramount, and this course equips your canine companion to respond effectively and responsibly to genuine threats.
