You bought the leash. Read the puppy advice. Had a plan.

Then your puppy arrived.

Now even a short walk can feel like a lot. They’re pulling, stopping, grabbing the leash or reacting to every new thing, and you’re trying to figure out what they need and what to do next.

And everyone keeps saying, “Enjoy the puppy stage!”

You’d love to. You could just use some help with the actual “walking a puppy” part.

Join me at Your Puppy Blueprint Summit, hosted by puppy specialist Kelly Fahey.

This FREE online event runs November 9–22 and brings together 20+ professionals to help you understand your puppy, navigate the challenges, and build a life together that works for both of you.

I’ll be talking about why walks go wrong and how to make more of them go right, so you can better understand what’s happening and help your puppy build the skills for walks that feel easier for both of you.

Come for the puppy you hoped to raise and get help understanding the puppy who’s actually at the end of your leash.

“WHY are you doing that?!”

You head out for a walk, hoping for a little fresh air and time together.

Instead, your puppy’s pulling, grabbing the leash, stopping every few steps or getting completely swept up in everything around them.

You love your puppy… buuuut you’d really like to understand what’s going on and know what might help.

That’s why I’m joining puppy specialist Kelly Fahey for Your Puppy Blueprint Summit, a FREE online event happening November 9–22.

What’s in it for you?

🐾 Make sense of the puppy behavior that leaves you scratching your head.
🐾 Find practical ways to handle everyday challenges.
🐾 Understand what your puppy needs so you can work together with less frustration.

I’ll be talking about why walks go wrong and how to make more of them go right, with ideas to help you understand what’s happening on your walks and support your puppy’s learning.

Because “they’re just a puppy” might explain a few things, but it doesn’t tell you what to do when you’re both stuck on the sidewalk.

Let’s help you figure out what comes next.

Does your puppy’s walk feel more like a tug-of-war than a chance to explore together?

You’re trying to get down the street, but your puppy’s pulling, stopping, zigzagging or getting distracted by every person, dog and squirrel.

You spend the whole walk managing what they’re doing, and it’s hard to enjoy any of it.

What if those walks aren’t going wrong because your puppy is being difficult?

At Your Puppy Blueprint Summit, you’ll hear from puppy specialist Kelly Fahey and 20+ dog training, behavior and wellbeing professionals about why puppies do what they do, how to set them up for success, and how to help them learn the skills they need.

I’ll be talking about why walks go wrong and how to make more of them go right: how to better understand what’s happening on your walks and support your puppy in building a calmer, more connected experience.

Join us for this FREE online event, November 9–22.

Ooh Halifax (and Dartmouth!) dog lovers you’re gonna want to watch this!

My take on no-pull harnesses for dogs…

It’s either a ploy to sell you a harness.

Or it’s not comfortable for the dog.

I don’t like either of those possibilities.

Feeling lost, struggling to find ways to support your dog and help them feel calmer in your daily walks?

Solving it on your own can leave you in a sea of advice from online videos and random people in FB groups. Have you thought of working with a professional dog trainer?

My DMs are open, let’s chat! Tell me what you’re hoping to achieve and we can talk about the steps to get you there!

It’s that time of the year again! Voting has started for Community Votes Halifax 2026 and I made it through the nomination round!

Last year I managed to pull off a silver award in a sea of amazing trainers. I’d love to do the same again this year!

It only takes a minute and you only need to vote once (this isn’t a vote every single day thing so I won’t be stalking you constantly!)

The ONE thing I wish more dog guardians knew:

The first try doesn’t always tell you what your dog is capable of.

I really thought Bailey would enjoy scentwork. She’s a working-breed girl, and I thought it could be a great outlet for her. But the first time we tried it, she basically blew me off.

Instead of pushing for more, we moved on before she completely checked out. We explored other activities. We practised heelwork, played with hoopers and worked on canine fitness.

While we were doing that, Bailey was building skills that went far beyond those individual activities. She was learning to focus for longer. She was becoming more engaged in our sessions. She was gaining confidence.

And she was learning that training could actually be fun.

Recently, we decided to try scentwork again.
And HOLY CRAP…she was so good at it! Even better, she really seemed to enjoy it.

Here’s what I learned:

There’s a difference between forcing your dog to continue with something they’re not enjoying and deciding that one unsuccessful attempt means the activity isn’t for them.

Sometimes your dog doesn’t need more practice at that one activity. They need time to build the focus, confidence, engagement and enjoyment that will help them succeed when they return to it.

Listen when your dog says, “Not right now.” But don’t assume that means “Not ever.”

Has your dog ever surprised you by loving something the second time around?
