About Angier K9 Academy
Better observation.
Better questions.
A training video can show much more than the moment a dog performs a behavior. Angier K9 Academy helps you notice the invitation, response, reward and context around it—and bring useful questions into your own lesson.
Choose the kind of learning you need.
- Watch a real interaction. Follow Rocko’s participation, Kodak’s cue and reward, and a family conversation through a guided observation pathway.
- Understand the trainer’s language. Listen to Finn’s recorded owner lesson and consider what each word is doing.
- Prepare for your own lesson. Bring concrete questions, practice with feedback and record the plan you agree with your trainer.
Every guide is free to read. The practice note is also available as a one-page PDF, with no account required.
How to use a source-linked guide.
- Read the starting question before you play.
- Watch the original recording at the linked moment. Pause and replay.
- Compare what you noticed with the reflection prompt.
- Use the full-recording link to check the surrounding context.
Keep observation and interpretation separate in your notes. A visible action, a trainer’s explanation and an owner’s account each answer different questions.
Where the lessons come from.
Rocko’s and Kodak’s observation guides examine filmed practice. Their shared-space guide explores what their owner reported in a conversation. Finn’s guides draw on a partial owner-lesson recording: they explain the selected discussion and link directly to it.
Source-based guides identify the recording and relevant moments. Examples written to help you check your understanding are labeled as examples. Preparation resources help you organize questions and notes for your own trainer; they do not present a filmed outcome.
The guides concern particular dogs and moments. Use them to look more closely and ask better questions alongside individual guidance for your dog.
