Welcome River to the our Board & Train Program!

River is an 11-month-old German Shepherd who has joined us for our off-leash obedience program. Like many young shepherds, he's a smart guy with plenty of potential - but currently, he thinks "come" means "catch me if you can!" 😅

During his stay, we'll be building a reliable recall, polishing his obedience, improving his leash skills, and teaching better manners both at home and out in the world. River is also a bit of a sensitive soul who can be nervous and unsure in new environments. He takes a little time to warm up, so a big focus of his training will be building confidence and helping him feel more comfortable navigating unfamiliar situations.

We'll also be working through some mild dog reactivity and teaching him how to make better choices around distractions. With structure, consistency, and plenty of positive experiences, we know this handsome boy is going to make great progress.

We're excited to have River here and can't wait to show you his transformation over the next few weeks!

Welcome Jerry the Border Collie to our Board & Train Program!

Jerry has already put in a lot of work with his owners through private training sessions, building a great foundation of obedience and engagement. Now he's here for the final touches, taking that obedience to the next level with reliable off-leash control and helping work through the last little bit of dog reactivity

He's a smart, eager-to-learn guy with a solid start under his belt, and we're excited to spend the next few weeks polishing everything up and helping him reach his full potential

We can't wait to show you his progress throughout his stay. Stay tuned for updates on Jerry's training journey!

Welcome Marlee the 7-month old German Shepherd to our Board & Train Program!

Marlee is already a really good girl, her family loves her dearly and is looking to take her training to the next level with polished obedience, reliable off-leash skills, and the ability to confidently include her in all of life's adventures.

With four kids at home, having a well-mannered dog that can listen around distractions, settle when needed, and be a reliable family companion is incredibly important. Over the next few weeks, we'll be fine-tuning her obedience, building engagement, and creating the consistency needed for real-world success.

We're excited to help Marlee become the best version of herself and give her family the freedom to enjoy all the fun things that come with a well-trained dog.

Stay tuned to follow her journey!

Welcome Freddy to our Board & Train Program!

Freddy is a recently adopted terrier mix who has a lot of heart, a lot of drive, and a lot to learn

This little guy came to us struggling with some significant behavioral challenges. He's an extreme leash puller, has intense dog reactivity, and becomes so frustrated when he can't access what he wants that he'll sometimes redirect that frustration onto the nearest person. That same tendency to redirect can show up around the house as well when emotions run high.

Freddy also hasn't quite mastered the art of relaxing. He's a busy, go-go-go kind of dog who struggles with an off switch and is always looking for the next exciting thing. While he's very food motivated, the outside world quickly becomes more rewarding than any treat, making focus and engagement a challenge.

Over the next few weeks we'll be working on building his focus around distractions, teaching clear communication and boundaries, improving his leash manners, developing neutrality around other dogs, and addressing his redirecting behaviors. Just as importantly, we'll be helping Freddy learn that not every moment needs to be full speed ahead.

We're excited to help this guy gain the skills he needs to be successful and can't wait to show you his progress along the way. Stay tuned for Freddy's journey!

Tiny dogs, big results 👏🐾

Louis and Lola came to us struggling with dog reactivity, human reactivity, pulling on leash, and without a reliable sit or down stay.

Fast forward to now: walking through a busy park surrounded by dogs, people, geese, distractions everywhere, and they handled it beautifully!!

Now they’re heading home with:
✔️ Calm, neutral behaviour around people & dogs
✔️ Confidence and comfort in public
✔️ Solid sit & down stays
✔️ Loose leash walking
✔️ Better engagement with their handler

And can we talk about how HAPPY they look doing it? Training is about creating clarity, communication, and confidence 🥰

Also, a reminder: small dogs can do it too. Size doesn’t determine capability. Tiny dogs deserve training, structure, and the chance to confidently take on the world just like the big dogs 💗

So proud of these two and excited for their next chapter at home 🌟

We’re so grateful for every pup trusted in our hands - whether its boarding, training, puppy raising, to trained working dogs. This isn't just our business, it’s truly our passion.

Can you spot your pup in any of these clips? 👀

W***y has officially completed his crate training program!

When W***y first came to us, the goal was to help him feel confident, calm, and secure in his crate, and he absolutely delivered. He now sleeps happily and quietly in his crate overnight, settles in just as nicely during the day, and can even relax in there while people are home. That level of comfort doesn’t happen by accident, W***y put in the work, and it shows!

He’s had zero destructive behaviors in the kennel and has really learned to enjoy his downtime. With his Benebones to chew on and the occasional bully stick a couple times a week, his crate has become a place he genuinely looks forward to. He’s also had so much fun learning and playing crate games, which helped build that positive association every step of the way.

W***y now eats all of his meals in his crate, reinforcing that it’s a safe, calm, and rewarding space. This is such an important foundation, not just for management, but for his overall well-being.

A crate should never feel like a punishment, it should be a safe haven. And for W***y, that’s exactly what it’s become. We’re so proud of this boy and everything he’s accomplished! ❤️

River 🥰

River has officially completed her on & off-leash Board and Train program!

This field trip takes place at Victoria Park, working through real-life distractions like squirrels, geese, other dogs, and people. Despite all of that, River maintains a beautiful heel and consistent loose-leash walk, staying calm, focused, and connected to her handler the entire time!
She also demonstrates solid sit-stays and down-stays, showing not just obedience, but true engagement and understanding of her training!
We’re so proud of how far River has come. Her owners will now be able to enjoy peaceful walks without pulling and have the confidence of a reliable off-leash recall.

Amazing work, River 💛 We can’t wait to see you continue to thrive at home!

✨ Welcome Louis & Lola to our Board & Train Program ✨

These two adorable Mini Schnauzers have officially joined us, and while they may be small, they are bringing some big behaviours with them 👀

Louis and Lola are a bonded pair with a lot of personality, but also some challenges their owners are ready to work through.

On leash, they struggle with pulling and reactivity toward other dogs. At home, the front door has become a major trigger, with barking, overstimulation, and escalating behaviours when guests arrive.

Louis has learned to use his teeth to control situations, whether that’s going after feet at the door or pushing back when asked to do something he doesn’t like, like getting off the bed or going into his crate. Lola, on the other hand, is more fear-driven, using barking and nipping as a way to create space when she feels unsure or overwhelmed.

Different motivations, same result: and that’s where the work begins.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be focusing on building clear communication, structure, and confidence for both dogs. They’ll be learning how to exist more calmly in their environment, make better choices, and trust guidance instead of reacting.
Stay tuned to follow their progress, this is going to be a good one 🔥🐾
