OUR PHILOSOPHY
EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO NATURE
Everything we do at Third Eye K9 is based on open and honest communication between human and dog. Dogs are the only four legged species to freely leave their own kind to form a partnership with mankind. It is this natural bond we use as the foundation for our training methodology. This human canine relationship is like no other found in nature; therefore is sacred to us. Using tricks, bribes and force to motivate dogs during training/work undermines this natural relationship and is actually detrimental to dogs, especially a working dog. At Third Eye K9 we honor this natural bond and build K9's based on love, respect and most importantly, honest communication.
Third Eye K9 has developed and refined a very systematic and analytical training protocol, producing dogs and handlers that can function when others fail. All facets of training at Third Eye K9 are done with the proper application of stress. By introducing various stressors in a progressive manner during training, we produce canines\handlers with the proper mental and physical condition to perform under very high levels of pressure. The consequences for not training under stress are severe, and will cause you or your dog to dysfunction when stress hits.

YOU ARE NOT SUPERIOR TO WHAT YOU ARE DEPENDENT ON
In order to ensure their survival our ancestors used selective breeding creating dogs based on necessity, not want. These canine allies unquestionably earned humanity's respect and admiration. Our ancestors understood the necessity of the dog for survival, and nurtured a mutually beneficial relationship based on authenticity and loyalty. In other words, it wasn't an "Alpha" relationship, rather a relationship based on necessity and equality. In modern times of technological advances, human survival has become less dependent on mankind's oldest ally. A relationship that was once a necessity has turned into a relationship based on dominance. The repercussions for this betrayal of our four legged friends can be seen in all facets of the K9 kingdom. Third Eye K9 believes we don't just have a responsibility but an obligation to carry on our ancestors' work. Like those that came before us everything we do at Third Eye K9 is based on mankind's greatest motivator; survival.
THANK YOU
With nearly two decades of experience in breeding, training and working dogs, Third Eye K9 would like to thank those individuals who mentored us down this noble path. Not only did you pass on knowledge and wisdom about dogs, but human nature as well. Thank you for everything, we are eternally grateful.
