CCK9 Protection Dogs Street Work
Sunday, September 23rd, 201215 Month Old German Shepherd, Guinness Mackenzie
Sunday, August 26th, 2012A nice letter we recently received from a client by the name of June Miller.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great enthusiasm I write this letter of testimony for Perry Ahlgrimm. Perry Ahlgrimm was contacted, quite out of the blue, after a chance observation of his interaction with his own dogs. Unbeknownst to him, that interaction was being observed, from a distance and what I witnessed; well behaved, obedient, relaxed, happy dogs, so impressed me, I sought out his help. As a responsible pet owner, not new to owning dogs, I was convinced I had exhausted all my options with my 15 month old German Shepherd, Guinness Mackenzie who suffers severe fear aggression and I had resigned myself to the last resort available, euthanasia. Consideration to euthanize the dog did not come lightly and only after failed attempts by me, with the help of several qualified professionals, including a certified applied animal behaviorist to correct the dog’s behavior of lashing out at people and other animals. This behavior first presented itself at the age of ten weeks and the prescribed interventions did not work as the behavior only increased with the age of the dog. The dog was unresponsive to verbal commands and could not be trusted in any situation. Sadly, the dog was muzzled and wore a promise halter all the time outside of the home. As the owner of the dog, I was miserable and so was the dog. (more…)
A Day At The Park With CCK9 Protection Dogs
Friday, August 10th, 2012This is a video of two CCK9 protection Dogs for sale, Angie and Nick.
All of our dogs are taken for at least an hour long run or hike in the morning. Cardio is essential in any dogs life. We also take our dogs into downtown settings, busy streets, to stores, coffee shop patios and other public places. This is based on a rotational system, but we essentially never leave the property without taking at least one dog with us. Dogs practice agility, obedience, scent or bite work everyday. They are socialized with humans and other dogs daily. We also regularly bring children onto the property.
Exercising Your Protection Dog
Monday, July 30th, 2012This is a video of CCK9 Protection Dogs Exercising
As one knows, there are may ways to physically stimulate your dog. We here at Command Control Canine work each and every dog every day. The best way to stimulate your Protection Dog is to have your dog run with you on a bike, you can cover a lot of distance in a very shot period of time. It is important to have your dog follow with structure. It is also important to gradually condition your dog when exercising with your bike. We recommended that your dog is on the curb side for the safety of the dog. As we say at CCK9, a tired dog is a happy dog.
Please note: It is imperative that you do not give your dog food or water three hours before and after exercise to prevent Gastric Torsion.

K.N.P.V. Line German Shepherd Sting: Article Search
Monday, June 11th, 2012German Shepherd Sting (12 months old) Article Search Exercises
Sting is a 12 month old KNPV line German Shepherd that we imported at ten weeks from one of the top KNPV German Shepherd Kennels in Holland. He is NOT currently for sale as he is being held back to become one of CCK9′s stud dogs. Sting is also the son of our very own KNPV
PH 1 & PH 2 German Shepherd, Gandhi.
Unlike the article search exercises within the KNPV program where they get the dog to find the articles then retrieve the article back to the handler. We train our dogs to find the article then indicate by lying down. To us this makes more sense.
Please note that NO FOOD, BALLS or TUGS were used in his training. Just a simple concept of communication and desire.
