The Wasatch Junior National Team develops young handlers defined by discipline, integrity, and personal accountability. Skill is built with precision. Character is built with expectation. Every standard applied here reflects the same standard that governs our adult programs and our national work.
Wasatch K9 Fitness and Training Junior National Team
We coach discipline, responsibility, and integrity first. Performance follows naturally. Under consistent guidance and committed families, these juniors grow into confident competitors and strong young leaders on and off the dock.
Membership on this team is earned through commitment, coachability, and alignment with our standards. We invest fully in those who invest fully in the process. The expectation is simple: show up ready to work, ready to grow, and ready to represent something bigger than yourself.
The Standard
The Wasatch Junior Team is built on the same standard that defines everything we do. Discipline, accountability, and integrity come first. Skill is developed with intention, expectations remain clear, and progress is earned through consistent effort over time.
Each junior trains within a structured environment designed to strengthen character as much as performance. We emphasize preparation, composure, and responsibility while providing steady guidance and support. Growth on the dock reflects growth off of it, and every step forward is built the right way.
Team Structure
The Wasatch Junior Team is carefully built. Each junior receives direct mentorship from Craig with structured development, clear expectations, and individualized progression. Selection reflects character, coachability, and alignment with Wasatch standards. Nothing here happens by accident. Juniors develop within a structured environment where character and effort are strengthened first, and confidence and capability follow in life and on the dock.
Membership carries responsibility. Juniors train with consistency, compete throughout the year, and learn to handle both success and challenge with composure. We work through challenges together and celebrate progress earned along the way. The structure is steady, expectations are clear, and support is constant.
The Wasatch Junior Team
