A Pack Walk is more than just a walk—it’s an opportunity for you & your dog to practice calm, structured movement in a group setting. With guidance & support, your dog learns to exist peacefully around others while building confidence, focus & trust in you. Whether your dog struggles with excitement, reactivity, or simply needs more exposure, Pack Walks create a positive, low-pressure environment to reinforce good leash manners & a balanced state of mind.

Through supervised interactions, enrichment activities & a focus on structure & boundaries, we help dogs feel secure & successful. Whether they need a boost in confidence or a space to practice good manners, we meet each dog where they are & help them grow. Rehabilitation: Some dogs don't require training, some dogs need to be rehabilitated. Separation anxiety, fear, aggression, etc. Education: I love teaching kids & people about dogs. 4H Clubs, schools, etc. I also teach a Dog Safety Class. Please contact me for more info.

There’s something I really love about taking dogs out into the community…

It’s not always about the big adventures or the impressive training moments. Sometimes it’s just sitting on a patio, taking in the world, & learning how to exist calmly in a new place 🐾

Always with one goal in mind…building a dog who can go places with you, experience the world, & be part of your life.

Because isn’t that why we get dogs in the first place?

That’s the kind of training I’m passionate about ❤️

Coffee & Community ☕🐾

Join us for a casual morning of coffee, dogs, settling & good conversation with two dog trainers - Adrienne & Madison!

Grab a coffee (supplied), bring your dog, practice being around distractions without having to go anywhere, & chat with other dog people in the community.

No pack walk. No big agenda. No pressure. Just coffee, dogs & community ☕🐶

📅 September 4 at 10 AM
📍 At the facility - 5372 Len Thompson Drive, Bay 11, Lacombe

Reactive dogs are welcome, but must be manageable in a group setting. Dogs should have a basic foundation of training.

Come hang out, ask questions, drink some coffee, & maybe teach your dog that doing absolutely nothing can actually be pretty cool 😎

Apparently, in our Structured Daycare Program, we have a guest list like we’re running a very exclusive dog nightclub where you only get back in when Madison calls your name 😂

Potty break is done & it’s time to head back inside. But we’re not opening the door & unleashing the entire crew at once.

Madison calls each dog by name, one at a time, & brings them in calmly.

It’s simple, but it’s intentional. We’re reinforcing listening, patience, impulse control & calm transitions throughout their day.

Because these everyday moments are where the real learning happens. We want dogs who can be excited, have fun, play hard & still know how to come back down, listen & follow direction when it matters.

Wednesday night plans? We have a better idea 😉

Leashes on. Dogs out. Mackenzie Trails.

No fancy agenda. No pressure to make your dog “perform.” Just an hour to get outside, move your feet, let the dogs experience the world & enjoy some time with people who get it.

📍 Mackenzie Trails, Red Deer
⏰ 6-7PM
💰 $15

Come walk with us tonight. Your dog will probably vote yes 🐾

🏔🌲🐾 The Mountains Are Calling…🐾🌲🏔

Your dog has plans on Sept. 11th for our next Canine Mountain Adventure!

After dropping your dog off, while you go about your day, your dog will be out exploring the mountains with Adrienne & Madison - hiking, learning & experiencing the world in a whole new way 🤩

This roughly 8 hour adventure combines fresh air, movement & structure to help build a more confident, balanced dog.

Mountain Adventure Fee: $160 per dog, which includes transportation, guided activities & all necessary equipment for an exciting, safe outdoor experience. PLUS pictures & videos!

**FULL**

💦 ONE. LAST. SPLASH. 💦

Summer’s almost done, which means we’ve got ONE final Pool Day before we officially declare summer as over 🐾☀️

Friday, August 28 | DROP OFF: 9AM | PICK UP: 1PM | $120

A morning of swimming, running, playing, exploring & generally making the kind of memories that leave you with a very happy, very tired dog 😂

If your dog has been part of our Pool Days this summer, you already know what this is about.

If they haven’t…this is your last chance to find out 👀💦

Let’s make the last one a good one!

✈️🐕 Apparently I Don’t Talk About Dogs Enough…🤣

On Monday, I’m packing my bags & heading off to the IACP Dog Professionals Annual Conference in New Port Beach, California! 😍

This conference is something I look forward to every year. It’s a chance to step away from the day to day, get back into student mode & completely immerse myself in all things dogs.

I’ll be spending the week learning from some incredible professionals, expanding my knowledge, challenging the way I think, exchanging ideas, building connections with trainers & canine professionals from all over, & bringing home a whole lot of new information to pour back into the dogs & humans I work with.

Because one of the things I love most about this industry is that you never stop learning 📚

There is always another perspective to consider, another skill to sharpen, another conversation to have & another opportunity to become better at what we do.

& beyond the education, IACP gives dog professionals from different backgrounds, specialties & training philosophies a place to come together, have important conversations & be part of moving this industry forward. 🐾

So…Passionate Paws is temporarily sending me away for some professional development, excessive dog talk & probably an unreasonable amount of note taking 😂📚

📅 I will be unavailable August 17-23.

I’ll be catching up on messages August 24 & 25, so please be patient with me while I work my way through everything when I return.

☎️ If something is urgent, please message Madison at (780) 841-7555.

I’m incredibly excited to learn, connect, come home inspired & bring even more back to the Passionate Paws community.

Here’s to never being done learning 💖

🐾 PACK WALK SCHEDULE 🐾

Not sure where to start with your dog's training journey?

Pack Walks can be a great stepping stone.
For many dogs, the challenge isn't learning commands...it's learning how to exist calmly around the world.

Other dogs. People. Bikes. Squirrels making questionable life choices. All the exciting things that make our dogs forget we exist 😅

Our Pack Walks focus on building calmness, engagement, neutrality, leash skills, confidence, & real world experience in a supportive, judgment free environment.

No dog to dog play. No pressure. No expectations that your dog needs to be perfect.

Just an opportunity to practice, learn, observe, & build skills alongside other dog owners working toward the same goals.

Whether you're brand new to training, looking to improve leash manners, or simply wanting more structured exposure for your dog, we'd love to have you join us.
