New Pictures!
Posted by jennifer on October 27, 2008.
These new pictures were taken today at the firing range. Many of our protection dogs are trained around live weapon fire to be prepared for any given situation. McKenzie is due for her spread in our pack members section but until then, here's a pic. of her by the new Jeep added to our fleet!

Hello From Above Boulder!
Posted by jennifer on July 19, 2008.
Hi Friends-
Sorry I've been out of touch... Our move to the mountains was very successful and we're enjoying every minute of it. The dogs love it up here and clients seem to be very happy to get out of the heat and get back into nature. Business is as busy as ever. If you'd like to watch me on the TV screen locally, I'll be making an appearance on Good Morning Colorado this Wednesday a.m. and you can also check me out nationally on Bravo Wed. Aug. 6th, 2008 for an episode of Sheer Genius.
At the new Ranch location, I've installed a 90 gallon salt water fish tank thanks to the guys over at Aqua Imports in Boulder (www.aqua-imports.com). We are currently going through the cycling process but thus far, I'm the proud owner of five hermit crabs and 6 Blue Damsels. The tank will be a nice stress relief from the office and watching the entire eco-system unfold is better than watching TV!
Our agility course is expanding and classes in August are getting filled up. We will be coming out with a newsletter shortly to fill you in on what's been going on so hang in there- we've just been really busy!
Hope this finds you and your dogs well and enjoying summer...
All my best,
Jennifer
Here are some new pics. for you!

We're Moving to Boulder!!!
Posted by jennifer on June 10, 2008.
Hi Everyone-
On July 1st, 2008, the Ranch will be re-located to the mountains above Boulder. This new location will provide easier access for Denver clients as well as current Boulder customers. Not to fear though Longmont- we're still serving you and classes will resume as normal. The new location will provide us with a flat area to build our growing agility course for the overwhelming interest in the sport, softer ground for the dogs feet and lots of shade from trees this summer. This winter stay tuned because a new indoor location in downtown Boulder is being slated for launch. We will still be training indoors and out, all winter long. Get ready for lots of nature and as always, we tailor our training to you whether that be at a nearby dog park, outdoor mall or your home so long as your within a half-hour radius from us.
Hope your summer is getting off to a great start!
All my best,
Jennifer

Spring Is In The Air...
Posted by amy on April 14, 2008.
Hello Everyone!
Things have been so busy here at the ranch lately- I don't know where to even begin! Audra Tang is in town for one week interviewing for a position as my assistant dog trainer. She comes highly qualified as a trainer for the past four years from The Seeing Eye in New Jersey (www.seeingeye.org). The seeing Eye is one of the oldest guide dog schools in the country with it's opening in 1929.
With spring in the air and the weather so nice here in Colorado, our facility is as busy as ever. This May we will have completed building our agility course with a Police K-9 agility course being constructed this summer in the riding ring. To top that off, I am currently working over time on organizing summer kids classes with wolves and dogs and next week I will be visiting my furry wolf friends down at Mission: Wolf for the first time this year since the snow has melted. I will be continuing my research and documenting my findings via video. We will also be building up the video section of the website this summer with wolf videos and current training tips, etc. On top of all of that, Yellowstone is again on the agenda- sitting on the front lines of the wolf research program up there.
Our Los Angeles base is continuing to grow in leaps and bounds. I will be in L.A. May 3rd - 11th to give lectures, demonstrations and meet with private clients. Amy is keeping me on track with scheduling so if you want to get in for a session or two, don't wait!
It's a very exciting time for us over here as we seem to be getting more and more press about this little business I started by word of mouth when I was 21 years old. I can't wait to see what 2008 brings and I'm looking forward to making many more dogs as happy as they can be. That to me, is my greatest joy.
Well, I better get to bed so I can get up for a 6 a.m. hike in the mountains!
Take care and be well,
Jennifer

World Class Students...
Posted by jennifer on June 24, 2007.
On June 30th, 2007 the K-9 Ranch Training Center will welcome it's two latest dog training students- Jill & Jamie Bowers. Jill & Jamie own the Thank Dog! Training company in Los Angeles, California. Jill comes with six years of training experience and Jamie with one. The two will be learning everything from a crash course in Schutzhund training, natural dog behavior, dealing with aggressive dogs as well as a trip up to Mission: Wolf for one week and much more. Aside from dog training, the two sisters have another thing in common- they're both identicle twins! It will be a pleasure working with them and it should be a great getaway from the city life of L.A.
Welcome to Colorado girls!
All my best,
Jennifer

Jed- The John Deer Lawn Mower...
Posted by jennifer on May 16, 2007.
This is Jed. He mows the riding ring area. He's my neighbor's horse who I let come over to graze and he's quite a good boy. Jed isn't afraid of anything and he's pretty friendly with the dogs. Tonight was a puppy class and next week will be graduation. I think Elvis still thinks he qualifies as a puppy because he certainly has a good time playing with Bilbo & Shawnee...
The new camera is working out well although I'll need some more practice. I love the quality of the images though :-) Today was very busy and I had to book all my flight stuff, etc. for my L.A. trip. My friends are throwing me a b-day party while I'm out there so it should be fun!
Have a great night,
Jennifer
