This week's continuing scent work class got to have some fun searching some vehicles!

Special thanks to Quincey of Canine Connection Dog Training for allowing us to use her vehicle for the fun problem of working more than one vehicle 🚙

Everyone did amazing and all the dogs solved the problem like pros!

Congratulations to sweet Lola for having her last appointment of her puppy package!

Lola and I have been working hard in the salon and combined with the work her guardian has done (and continues to do) at home Lola now has a positive foundation towards successful and happy grooming.

I am also happy to say that due to an opening in my schedule I am able to keep Lola as a permanent grooming client. ♥️

Happy Monday!

Since it has been a while since I introduced myself on here, I thought it was time for another quick look at the person behind the account (me 😊)

Hi! I'm Amy Atkinson and here are a few facts about me:
🐾 I grew up in the Thompson Okanagan, and have lived all over BC including Fort St James and currently Kamloops.
🐾 I achieved my Bachelor's of Animal Biology from Thompson Rivers University in 2009
🐾 I have been working in the grooming industry for almost 15 years and became a Fear Free Certified Groomer in 2022
🐾 I worked through the Karen Pryor Professional Dog Training Course in 2020 and got my official certification (due to covid) in 2022
🐾I had the pleasure of getting certified through the BCSPCA and becoming AnimalKind certified in 2021
🐾 I am a certified Nose Work Instructor through the National Association of Canine Scent Work (completed in 2024)
🐾 My husband and I have been married for 7 years AND we have a 1 year old son
🐾 We are the guardians to two amazing dogs (Midna and Archer) a Staffy x and Labrador Retriever who are 12 + 6 years old respectfully

A bit about Northern Noses :
🐾I specialize in fear free grooming techniques and helping dogs build a positive understanding about the grooming process
🐾 I also specialize in teaching dogs and their humans about the wonderful sport of K9 Nose Work

I am so happy to be able to share this account with you and hope that you are able to learn a few things and enjoy seeing some of the dogs I work with.

If you would like to introduce yourself and your dogs I would love to hear from you in the comments!!

Big welcome to the sweet Luna to my Pristine Puppy Package.

Luna had her first visit this week and although she is a little shy and nervous we were able to eat some snacks, have some cuddles and start to introduce a bit of brushing/combing and nail clipping.

Welcome Luna!
