Go check out Kaitlyn’s page! I’ve had her walk my boys and it was an absolutely delightful experience.

Welcome! I’m Kaitlyn, owner of Misty Coast Mutts.

Do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough time to get out with your dog and take them for a long walk?
Do you work long hours and wish you had someone that could pop by and let your dog out for a potty break in the middle of the day?
Look no further, Misty Coast Mutts has got you covered!

This is your friendly reminder that puppies are going to act like puppies.

That is all.

It's a Puppy, Not a Problem.

In the past, I trained pet dogs. The first session would almost always go something like this:

Student would pull a list of problem behaviors out of their pocket. Meanwhile, their four month old puppy chewed on the leash and pulled various directions, causing the student to express obvious irritation. The student would then lay out all of the problems that they wanted to fix.

"We're having problems with barking, wanting to play all the time, running through the house with dirty feet, jumping on people, chewing stuff up, excessive interest in human food, constant pulling on the leash to get to things, and digging holes in the garden. Oh yeah – could you teach a reliable recall, off leash, so that when I'm ready to leave the park we can go without me having to chase my dog?"

In short, could I make their young puppy behave like a grown up dog?

Think of puppies as pre-verbal children. Show patience. Structure the environment for success. Accept that inconvenience will happen. Remember that what you do now is going to determine the type of relationship you will have into the future. What are you looking for? Do you want to be seen as an accommodating person who creates opportunities to do interesting things, or as a domineering tyrant that is best avoided? When you ask your dog or child to come see you, do you want them to come running with enthusiasm, or to experience worry and anxiety about your presence?

But start by understanding that there is nothing wrong – there is no problem. There is only a puppy, and training to be done. What happens now is up to you.

Thank you SO MUCH to Whitney Weston for making the trip to train with us for sprinters! We had so much fun learning, running our dogs, and enjoying some gorgeous Kitimat weather (rain and sun)! So much variety in dogs and everyone did so well, I know I had some seriously tired puppies at the end of this.

We cannot WAIT to offer this class in Kitimat, stay tuned!!

Please be patient with us for the remainder of the month as I will be away on holidays and slow to reply. Your girl is getting married!!

Reactivity is not linear and I’m so proud of everyone that has taken the time, money, and brain space to move through it.
