We have some good news while recovering from wrist surgery.
This little girl is arriving Thursday to help heal the soul and body.
We are trying on names right now, but sgw will be registered as Narvin's Serendipity.
We have traditionally only had boys and sge is a springer and not a setter, so she is set up to thrive on her own 4 feet.
There will be another setter in our world again, but this little girl is just what the doctor ordered.

My apologies to all my clients over the past week and my appreciation for patience during rescheduling. Barb is having surgery on Friday to repair her wrist. She will see clients as scheduled on Thursday (July 17) and will get everyone back to regular bookings as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and been so understanding of rescheduling and delayed emails this week.
Everyone has been so kind.
I will be sending information out later today to those starting class in Nine Mile River on Sunday, and will be catching up on emails as soon as possible.
I am healing with a broken wrist, so there may be additional delays, but i truly appreciate all of you and your pets and am looking forward to getting back into working with you all. I want you to see the joy that I saw when watching Rainbow work, and for those of you who have to make other choices -know that there is a very special Rainbow waiting to show the way.
Much love and appreciation to you all, Barb

Please note - we are closed today (July 10). Barb has an accident leading her to spend yesterday at the hospital, and led to a tragic accident where Rainbow gained his wings.
Please be patient while we grieve the sudden, unexpected loss.

We work closely on many cases with our friends at Fur Ability Animal Rehabilitation Inc. (and Rainbow gets put back together regularly) - we are thrilled to see this expansion of their business

🌟 We're back from vacation and diving straight into something BIG! 🌟

We’re beyond excited to share that Fur Ability is growing up — we’ve officially signed the lease on our very own building!
It’s still in East Hants because we wanted to stay local. Our new home will be in the Elmsdale Business Park, right off the highway for easy access.
Our new space is set to open around September 2025, and we’re already knee-deep in plans to make it everything your pets deserve.

Here’s what we’re working on:
-Continuing the same cozy environment you and your pet are used to
-Non-slip floors for safety
-Multiple entry points to make it easy for reactive or mobility-impaired patients to come in
-Low-stress, thoughtfully designed spaces
-A large indoor training and conditioning area, with possible private rental options
-2 treatment rooms
-A proper reception and waiting area (finally!)
-And some exciting new equipment on the horizon… 🐾💦

There’s so much more to come — and we can’t wait to welcome you into our new space when the time comes. Stay tuned for updates!

(PS: We might also be on the lookout for some amazing humans to join the team… but more on that soon!)

To clients who currently are using Trupanion for behaviour modification. Trupanion has updated their policies and no longer cover behaviour modification. They do still cover your appointments with your behaviour vets as well as your medications.
We still welcome you as our clients, but please note that Trupanion no longer covers this.
This does not affect any other insurance companies that currently cover behaviour modification.
For those of you who have benefited from behaviour modification help in conjunction with medical treatment for your pet's behaviour pathologies, we recommend that you let Trupanion know how it made a difference.
For the veterinary professionals who have recommended behaviour modification as part of the prescribed treatment plan, it would be helpful for Trupanion to understand why.
Now back to helping all the pups thrive.

Since I switched this page to a performance page we are branching out a little bit to Scent and Rally O !!
We will be offering a few Wed night fun runs alternating between Scent searches and Rally O course run throughs !!

First up is Scent this Wednesday evening June 25th starting at 6:15pm !
Aimee will have 2 exterior search areas and 2 interior search areas set !
Handlers choice on which searches you want to try , $10 gives you 2 search areas ( 2 interior or exterior OR 1 of each ) if there is time available you may pay to enter a second time.
There will be a set time for each search area and you may play it as unknown number of hides or Aimee can tell you how many in each area you are searching for

This week is a great chance for a quick practice before the Berwick week end !!

Please send me a PM here on this page to register your dog and I’ll give you your search time slot.

Happy searching
Brenda

Rainbow is displaying my current state of mind after I got back from the Doggie Expo . (He skipped this one and apparently had an equally busy day).
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello. I loved hearing updates from some of our previous patients and clients, and loved meeting some future clients.
The flamingo scavenger hunt was a blast. Fur Ability Animal Rehabilitation Inc. will be doing the draw tomorrow live.
