💖✨ Lady Glitter Sparkles ✨💖

Aka Lady, the Malinois puppy, is here hanging out with us while her mom and older brother (NSK9 Alumni Maximillian) are on a super fun adventure!

This sweet girl is 👶🏼 just a baby 👶🏽 and already AMAZING! Her mom has put in the work with this little one and it shows 🥰 We are working on positive outings and hearing new noises and seeing and touching new things!

The first 5 months of your dogs life are the most important for their socialization and development, it is SO important to get them out and about at this age - even if you have to carry them in a shopping cart or wagon or in your arms (🧼🧽 KEEP IT CLEAN 🧽🧼 - you still want to be careful to avoid diseases). We love to recommend that you Google some fun puppy socialization check off lists and try to complete them together as a family and make it a fun challenge! Or if you decide to sign up for our AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy classes, we can give you one and help with tips and tricks as well!

Side note- We cannot brag on Lady Glitter Sparkles’ mom enough- Shout out to Stephanie!! She and her family have trusted us with their dogs for years now and we love them! She is the actual Mother of Shepherds and full time super hero in real life and we are lucky to know her! 🦸‍♀️ 👩‍⚕️

This is Hazel aka “Crazy Hazy” all the way from Asheville, NC and she 100% lives up to her nickname 😂

As you guys know with most of these working Labs- they are all gas and no brakes! Hazel goes 1 million miles a minute and her family wants to be able to enjoy life with her instead of surviving with the little brown cute tornado 🌪️🦦🦝

She is super smart and is starting to figure out how to communicate effectively with her people and is absolutely rocking her Adventure Training Camp! We love her and her sweet family and are forever grateful for them continuing to choose us for their pups!

Everyone say hi to Finn! 😍
This fun little guy is obviously a working man! He loves to go out and adventure but needed some help and guidance with that puppy brain. We have been working hard on engagement and things like leash manners, jumping, boundaries when playing with other dogs, and his selective hearing. He is having a blast and rolling right through his Adventure Training Camp!

Finn has a sibling and a cousin (shoutout to our favorite Oreo Aussies, Harper and Atticus) who have gone through training with us and now it’s this lil wild man’s time to shine!

We are so proud of all of the hard work his parents have done with socializing him and starting his basic commands. We also want to thank them for rescuing and investing in this sweet boy and the others in their pack!

Teddy and Beverly are trying to stay “cool” with morning and evening adventures with training. 🐾
With the temps in the 90’s this week, put your dogs safety first! Pack lots of water, check the temperature of the pavement, and try to keep outdoor time to a minimum during the heat of the day! 🐾

Willie on Day 2 of Training is wanting to send some Good Vibes to his family as his Dad is about to go through some complicated medical procedures.

Wishing Willie's family the Very Best and Godspeed through this medical journey...

Willie is super proud of his amazing family, and he's working super hard to make his family super proud of him!!

Love him so much, and so excited that this is just the beginning of his transformation journey!!

GOOD BOI ALERT! Shadow is on that grind with sights set on earning his Best Boi degree 🏅💯🦴🐾 He wants to go everywhere with his dad, so NSK9 will make sure he has the trusty sidekick manners to match!

🥳🎉🥳 Happy birthday Chloe!! 🥳🎉🥳

If you’ve met or talked to Chloe you already know that she’s the hardest working person we’ve ever met! From answering/ making phone calls to teaching classes to training Adventure Campers to volunteering at the shelter weekly and fostering/ training hard to place dogs to always being willing to help anyone with anything - Chloe does it all, and truly loves every second of it! We are so lucky to have her on our team 🫶🏼

She’s may be a little awkward sometimes (🤪😂) but she is the friendliest person we know who would give you her last dollar or the shirt off her back if you needed it. Tell you dog she says hi!!

Happy birthday Chloe, WE LOVE YOU!!

Willie started his Adventure Training Camp today and he's having a Willie Good Time because he's a Willie Good Boy!!

Fourteen days with this cool cat?!? Don't threaten us with a Good Time!! ⭐️💛😎🤠

Go, Willie!!! ⭐️

Jack's expressions are the BEST!! 24 hours in and already exceeding expectations...
💪🐾💛⭐️

Jack is off to an amazing start on his very 1st Day of Adventure Camp!!

This vivacious, enthusiastic, exuberant happy-go-lucky Lab / Mountain Cur mix can be quite the handful, and he has a few quirks that can make him difficult to manage in public. This fun-lovin criminal got both brain and body workouts today at the beautiful Montvale Springs!!

A good time was had by all and Jack is a well-deserved sleepy boy this evening!!
Way to go, Jack!! ⭐️🏆💛

Some fun in the sun today ☀️ We are so excited that Kelso is back for boarding!! Kelso and Waffles are besties for the resties 💙💚

Sevier Animal Care Center has some amazing good boys and girls available for adoption!! We love getting to be able to spend time with these guys and give them a break from the kennel 🫶🏼🥹

These pups are all seeking forever homes and to be loved and rescued 🥹🫶🏼

Remember the Rule of 3 when adopting a new dog and be patient while integrating them into your family. Don’t ever hesitate to reach out for help!

This star student has the BEST pawrents🤩

Congratulations Marlowe on graduating our 6 puppy sessions and doing it with so much confidence!! Marlowe and her family was an absolute joy to work with.

We love you Ellie and hope you have the best day 🫶🏼🥳

What are your favorite ways to use the “place” command?

This super helpful command can be used in a variety of ways from getting your dog onto a paddleboard to giving them a job while you cook dinner (that isn’t surfing the counters 🤪)!

Drop a picture of your dog performing the “place” command in the comments!!

We honour the fallen heroes who bravely fought for our freedom!
From all of us at NSK9, Thank you!

Dug the doodle is back for boarding! He is such a joy to have around 🩵🩵🩵

We 🫶 our alumni!

📢📢📢 Shouting from the rooftops that we are so, so proud of 🫒 Olive 🫒 and her mom! They graduated from our AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program and have been putting in the work to become the best team possible!!

We can’t wait to see them again soon for Private Sessions!

Look at that squishy, sweet face 🥹 Join us in welcoming Stella to our NSK9 family!

Stella the Boxer is a bouncy, wild, playful girl at home and can be unsure, timid, and under-confident in new environments. During her classes, we will be working on sharpening up her house manners and building confidence!

She already LOVES the “place” command! We can’t wait to see her using her new commands by her pool all summer long ☀️😎

This is Millie the rescue Border Collie! First she’s spicy🌶️ then she’s sweet 🥰 She’s a reactive little girl who isn’t afraid to use her teeth! But lucky for Millie, her new mom recognized she needed help and made sure her baby girl got it! Millie’s already besties with her trainer and building lots of confidence through strong leadership and structured obedience (and lots of treats lol)! Keep it up, Millie!

Everyone meet A. Miller! His trainer foster failed because he is so incredibly smart, cute and was a good fit in her pack! 🐾❤️
We think he’s pretty precious!

Let’s hear your best A names!!!
