We give your dog several breaks to sniff, drink water and take care of business. Please note: First dog bike run session/s will require training your dog to run beside the bicycle if your dog does not already know how to do this.

New Puppy Training Puppies are not born with manners and thus you need to train your puppy when he is very young. Providing training to your puppy during the first stages in his life are crucial in order to have a well behaved and socialized dog. V's Cloud 9 K-9 LLC provides you with the information and coaching you need for your puppy. Training includes house-training, socialization, crate training, foundation behaviors, bite inhibition, desensitizing to handling/grooming, diet and safety tips to keep your puppy safe.
 Nose Work & Diabetic Alert Training Dogs have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to hunt. Nose Work is designed to develop your dog’s natural scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt and their love of toys, food and exercise. It’s a great way for your dog to have fun, build confidence, and burn lots of mental and physical energy. Diabetic Alert Dogs Are dogs that are trained to alert its partner to low or high blood sugar levels which can lead to seizures, brain damage, passing out, or even death.
