Otso got called out by the nice folks at FLED - Find Lost & Escaped Dogs Vancouver Island yesterday to track a wounded dog. The dog was hit by a car on Saturday evening so it was an old track with lots of contamination from other people and dogs who had been out helping. He made a promising entry off the highway but then didn't really pick a clear direction after that. We tried in a couple of other spots that the dog had been sighted but Otso was more interested in mousing and following a hot deer track. This was our first call of this kind and while we hope it doesn't happen again, we would be happy to help in the future.

Did you know that we have a dog training room in Cumberland? We offer...

★ Puppy Potential class for puppies under 6m
★ Everyday Obedience class for dogs older than 6m
★ Canine Good Neighbour preparation class and exam
★ Training Drop-in's for past and current training clients
★ Rentals for you to have a safe space to train your own dog

The space is 700 square foot, climate controlled and with a high quality gym flooring for grip and cushioning. There are crates and a number of props and training aids. Classes are small with only 3 teams so you get lots of attention, and they run for 5 weeks.

Uncle Bill came to take some pictures of the training room this past weekend and a game of rubber chicken 'keep away' ensued. 🐔
