Do you know what brick-red, pale, blue, or tacky gums can tell you? How about safely checking your dog's temperature? What a corneal reflex is and why it's important? Your dog can't tell you when something is wrong—but they often show subtle signs long before a medical emergency develops. Join us for this FREE one-hour live lecture on Thursday July 23rd at 7 PM EST where we'll walk through how to perform a complete daily canine health assessment. This practical session is designed for pet owners, sport dog handlers, and working dog teams who want to become more confident in recognizing when their dog may not be "quite right." We'll cover topics including: - Performing a complete head-to-tail examination - How to safely obtain your dog's vital signs - Understanding what is normal vs. abnormal Whether you're preparing for a weekend hike, heading to training, deploying on a search, or simply caring for your family pet, knowing your dog's normal baseline can help you identify problems early and seek veterinary care before a minor issue becomes a major one. This lecture is adapted directly from our Canine Trauma & Casualty Care Course and serves as an excellent introduction to canine emergency preparedness. This event is completely FREE for all members of the Nordik K9 Skool community.

Got a Question? Ask away and head trainer Elise will answer to the best of her ability. If she doesn't know the answer, well, that's what friends are for and surely someone on the Nordik K9 Team will have an answer for you... whether you like it or not ;)

To get started, please introduce yourself and your dog. Tell us a bit about who you are, what you’re working toward, and what brought you to the Nordik K9 Training & Education Community Hub. We’d love for you to include: • Your name and where you’re from • Your dog’s name, breed (or best guess), and age • A photo of your dog (working, relaxing, or being chaotic — we love all versions) • Your current training goals or challenges • A funny or unique fact about your dog • How long you’ve been training or working with dogs This helps us build a supportive environment where members can connect, learn, and grow together. We’re excited to get to know you and your dogs.

As we start building out more content inside Skool, we want to make sure it’s actually useful for you and your dog... not just what we think you need. We’re going to be running live Q&A sessions and training breakdowns, and this is your chance to shape what we cover. Maybe you’re working on: - Getting that clean, consistent sit - Better leash manners - Understanding tools like prong collars or slip leads - Building engagement and focus - Choosing the right dog for your lifestyle - Fixing something that just isn’t clicking Or maybe you’ve got a completely different question... we want to hear it. Drop your questions or topic ideas below 👇 No question is too simple or too specific. Let’s build this into something that actually helps you make real progress with your dog 🐕

Introducing the Nordik K9 Training Companion , our upcoming app designed to bring structure, clarity, and accountability to your training. This isn’t just another tracker. It’s built around how we actually train. Every session, every behaviour, every win and every struggle has a place. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your progress while helping you stay consistent and intentional with your work. Inside, you’ll be able to log sessions, track behaviours, follow your program, and actually see your development over time. Whether you’re working through basic obedience or more advanced goals, this is meant to keep you on track and moving forward. We’re currently in beta and refining it based on real use. This is a big step toward bridging in-person training with ongoing support and accountability, exactly what we’ve always aimed to do here. https://trainingcompanion.nordikk9.com
