January is for....
Chess! We are kicking off the new year with a brand new challenge at REACH K9! To start us off right, our January theme is Calm & Confident. Whether you are looking to build steadier focus or help a shy dog find their bravery, this month is all about strategic, thoughtful progress.
But we aren't just training—we’re playing! And all our faithful Skoolers get to play for free!
And what better game for strategy than chess? Dog training is never just a straight line; you have to be ready, look ahead, adapt, and think outside the box. The same could be said of the Game of Kings. To play, simply print out the board below and pin it to your fridge. You can track your position with a magnet. You claim a square by performing the skill listed, but if you get stuck, no problem! It’s always okay to step back, reset, and set your dog up for success. Post your pictures and videos for validation. (both for the game, and your own confidence!) :)
Your ultimate mission is to Capture the King, so take your time, get creative, and enjoy the journey. Checkmate earns you a medal!
Who is ready to claim their first square? Let’s get to work!
