Some of you may remember Aggie from this past February during her puppy board & train.
Now she’s back for the second portion of the Puppy Split B&T to finish her training as an adult!
As a puppy we worked on foundations and communication, but now that she’s older we can expect a little more from her so we’ll be working on loose leash walking, in home manners, and off leash recall.

If there’s one thing about Lily, it’s that her tail is always wagging.
If there’s one thing about auntie Carol it’s that ALL the dogs love her.

We had fun working in Lily’s neighbourhood today and spicing things up with a tour from the past.

Does anyone else remember Pepper’s on Elgin?

A bit of a different post, more on the realistic side.
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, as much as I love my job. Sometimes you feel like crap and have to push through for the dogs. Larger companies have other staff that can pick up other trainer’s dogs when they’re under the weather but as a solo trainer (and even with my own dogs), there is no day off.
It’s at least a satisfying job to see hard work paying off.
I’m grateful for the small things, like foundations well built, and concepts fluidly introduced so Lily can work through hurdles without too much difficulty.
Off to drink my orange juice.
If you have any feel-better crazy remedies, send them my way. I’ll try anything!!

Puppy dog eyes to the max from our latest graduate Micco!
It was so cold out that we forgot to get videos but he absolutely crushed his transfer lesson and is back home with his family. Looking forward to hearing about how peaceful their leash walks are now that he’s completed his four week board and train 🤍

Our friend recently had surgery but was requesting a limited item from Indigo, so I took it as an opportunity to bring Coconut out for some exposure!
For a little dog like this the world can be scary, so I held her until she seemed to acclimate a little bit to the book store, let her trot around in a safe and slow area and sniff around, and then scooped her and her little short legs up to tote her around more to see things from up high.

Seeing the world pass by from a neutral space can be great for young puppies and dogs alike. Coconut certainly enjoyed the people that came to say hi too!

Ok, sometimes this job is playing with puppies

This is our new protection dog private client, Suki! She’s a Dutch shepherd being raised to compete in PSA.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported our Charity Pack Walk! Together, we raised $705 for 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙚 and got active with our dogs. We couldn’t be more pleased with the turn out.

Congratulations to Alex with Grizzly and Bean for winning our raffle that everyone who donated was entered in, enjoy your goodies!

We hope to do another one next year to support more dogs in need so keep your eye out for the announcement.

With love,
Carolina, Carly, Marisa, and Zoe

Micco is a naturally anxious dog, so routine is something he finds comfort in and a disturbance in routine is something that throws him a little.
Today I had an early lesson and then had to help my grandma with errands and it threw our routine up in the air. Now later in the day he has more energy than he would and things are a little more stressful for him.
Because of that, I altered our training plan. I was planning on taking him into a new suburb, hunting for dogs to work around, but instead we’re decompressing on a long structured walk on the country road, followed by some sniffing and grazing, and then a long walk back.
While it’s important later on in training for Micco to learn how to notice his stress and deal with it, the halfway point of our training isn’t that. You can notice he’s already scanning quite a bit, and the only thing around are a few cars. To push him further this early in training wouldn’t be productive so we have to switch things up to make sure we’re successful, especially on a day that’s already so different from the norm.
I’d much rather give him a healthy picture of regulation to replicate later on again, then force him to do something too difficult for him today.

Our latest graduate: Maple 🍁

This girl completed our recall private lesson package and did a loose leash walking lesson to boot to tighten some things up.
So proud of her and her owners for the effort they put in to training!
