Did you know that "blue or red nose" is only referring to the color of a dog? -It is NOT a "rare" or "specific breed". -It also , does NOT determine a dogs temperament or personality. www.modifiedk9.org

Johnny Royal not only learns to listen to mom and dad while out on walks, but also our 3 year old son Dylan. Of course mom and dad helped Johnny understand leash manners before Dylan was able to help out. Mom also makes sure to stay close by to keep full control of the situation.

We practice at the end our our road, which is not overly busy with cars, trucks or bikes. The least amount of distraction the better when everyone is learning.

Dylan works on taking direction from his parents and Johnny works on taking direction from someone other than mom or dad.

How many of you get your kids involved with training your k9 kids?
