STSK9

Here we go, it feels unreal to be arrived here! The past two years has been something incredible. And that’s why in this final assignment I wanted to share a bit what has been for me seeing it more forward that the exercises. I first started the program with my female Malinois, that I rescued. No food drive and no ball drive, and have been able to achieve almost everything with her. When she was two years old she had one accident working and she dislocated her knee cap. She went trough 2 surgeries, almost didn’t make it trough it and ended up alive but not able to work anymore, and in that moment all the world falls apart for me, but at least I was grateful she could make it trough it and I can live my life with her. With her I did my first assignment back in the days but never been able to finish them and certified. (Certifying with her was my biggest dream). In the meanwhile I choose to get a dutchie and he just arrived when my Malinois have been trough all this. The first months with the new puppy we’re doing good but never really felt the same that I was feeling while “working” and training with my Malinois. I arrived to the point where I was thinking about selling him and take a break for looking for another dog. But I just decided to work harder and understand him better and “build him” as I did with all my dogs but with him it just felt different. Time pass and our bond is getting stronger and stronger everyday and we have been growing together and liking each other every day more. Without Nino and the STSK9 program I would have never been able to achieve what I achieved, but not just with the dogs if not mentally as a person and as a dog trainer. And guess what? Now Maru is my best friend. Thanks to you Nino I could build the relationship I have now with my dogs and I can help other handlers to do the same. I decided to mix a lot of video of the past 14 months because I just wanted it to be an amazing memory of what this program is and has been for me as becoming a dog trainer. One thing I understood is that we never stop learning. I doubt soooo much on posting this today but I just think it was the right time. So I post this here grateful and more motivated that ever to learn more, meet you in person and keep working dogs and learning by each one of them. I hope you guys can enjoy this! Looking forward to all the comments and critiques, everything is super well accepted. I will keep up working and never stop. The biggest thanks goes to you Nino for what you shared and share with us everyday.

Arguably the best Training philosophy out there. I started with the drive and focus and class and eventually joined the MVP program. There is no better combination of bang for your buck and in depth dog training system out there. It truly is bigger than dog training. My fiancé is an Olympian and many of the mindsets taught by STSK9 are present in the training of top athletes. Update: We’ve been able to apply these principles to professional track and field. In the last two years her world ranking went from just under 150 to now #26. Thanks for putting yourself out there and making this program man hands down it planted seeds that allowed me to grow in other areas of life as well.
