~Behavior and Enrichment Services~

~Less obedience. More understanding.
Less correction. More connection.
Less asking dogs to fit our world. More opportunities to experience theirs.~

“We don't make robots.

This is not obedience. This is not about compliance.

It's connection.

Rather than simply asking, “How do we stop this behavior?” We ask:

“Why is this happening, and what does this dog need?”

K9Rewild believes dogs deserve to be understood as individuals. We work to build a deeper understanding. Rooted in ethics, welfare and movement towards a better world for dogs, and their guardians.

    • Emotional regulation

    This may include-

    • Free roaming

    • Scent work

    • Sports

    • Puzzles

      Many troubling behaviors stem from unmet needs we may not be aware of. With individual plans, we will look to find outlets that achieve fulfillment, drive, and all 5 scenes!

  • For those with a high prey motivation, this service is not to suppress, but give outlets and safely structure prey drive.

    To achieve this, I utilize-

    • Flirt poles

    • Tug

    • Nose work

    • Pattern games

  • To ensure safety on the trail, all dogs need to be cleared by a vet. (For pulling sports, dogs must be at least a year old and weight 45lbs+.) I will ensure safe travel via crate or tethering depending on your pup’s comfortability.

    (DOGS WILL BE ON 10-30ft LEASHES OR SAFE OFF LEASH ENCLOSED SPACES, IN PRIVATE LOCATIONS)

Future Service

K9Rewild is making some big plans for the future.

We are looking to provide a Holistic (appointment only ) Behavior and Enrichment Center, where rehab, enrichment activities, free roaming, possible gear and treats, are available for shelter dogs, humans and their furry companions. This will be a safe place, to deepen bonds, and provide a space for all dogs to embrace agency, discover outlets and recenter. A place to try new things, explore, play, but most importantly, take time to just.. be.

From sensory gardens, to sport outlets, nature walks and more. We look to provide a healing center for the mind, body, and spirit.

There is no date on this yet. With all that is needed to make this dream happen. Tis yet but a huge dream, for what K9Rewild has always hoped to be.

An all around safe space for not only K9s, but all animals (including humans) to rewild.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We also look to provide further aid within animal rescue.

We look to help animals of all kinds. A big piece of this aims to aid with Wolves and Wolf-dog rescues. Wolves have been a core piece of behind the scenes of K9Rewild. Looking more information on this part of the world? Please visit https://www.womenforwolves.org/

    -Ryan&Claire

  • “I want to thank Mack for going above and beyond at our spay and neuter event. Not only did she jump in and help where needed, she also gave special care to a feral dog from animal control. The dog was scared and not use to being confined or handled. Mack made sure she was well cared for, safe, and given extra love. She even took her overnight. It was a pleasure working alongside her!”

    -Michelle

  • "Mack was referred to me by a friend, and I couldn’t be more thankful. My dog started resource guarding and refusing to be handled. Mack gave clear insight as to why Chloe was behaving this way. I saw what I needed to change. She gave helpful tips, how to understand guarding, and to respect her boundaries. We haven’t had an incident since!”

  • "I am so impressed with Mack and how she has handle Mars(a dog who exhibiting fear based aggression during attempted surrender) and immediately set up a plan. Without her help and integrity he very well would have euthanized as soon as he walked into our doors. Watching her with him outside for the first time brought me to tears. It was amazing to witness. The deep care and hope she has for these animals... She is amazing.
