About Morales K9 Training Solutions

Who they are

Morales K9 Training Solutions is a one-trainer practice whose origin story is published in full on the about page. It starts in 2020: "I worked a neighborhood pharmacy where I would meet a being that would forever change the course of my trajectory. I named him Tuco… Tuco was emaciated, bruised and swollen at the hindquarters from injury, he also had a severe disorder of chasing his tail, catching and biting it until it bled. This obsessive behavior would consume the entire day." Training was what turned it around: "We started small, 'sit's, 'down's, and maybe a 'speak', but even with this minute introduction of teaching, changes began to happen… Time went by and I was rewarded by his behavioral improvement through training, structure and discipline." Tuco turned out to be a German Shepherd, which led the trainer to IGP/Schutzhund: "It was then that I began searching for a dog club that included such sport, to further Tuco and his training and also my thirst for the training world."

Philosophy

The stated view balances affection against structure: "Growing up with dogs, we often fail to appreciate the species by coddling and corrupting their strengths with the lack of leadership and stability – absence of even tough love, at times. I developed an understanding that though love and affection is paramount, so too is structure and the awareness one needs to heed as it effects the animal." On expectations: "Behavioral modification and even obedience is not an over night endeavor, but nothing great happens over night!" And on motive: "This is my pursuit of passion, not wealth."

Services

Four are published: in-home training, virtual training sessions, board and train – "Customized board and training options available for your convenience" – and boarding, described as "Safe and comfortable boarding facilities for dogs of all breeds and sizes" for dogs who "just need a place to stay."
