Mission recently spent a full day learning alongside Tajia, a graduate of our Owner Trained program. After going on various public outings—including working together to help Mission comfortably and confidently navigate an escalator—the two ended their day with a play session for some decompression time.

Having an experienced "anchor dog" provides a reliable model for younger puppies to shadow. This helps build confidence when facing novel environments and obstacles.

Everyone had a fun day and we can’t wait till next time!

📣 New Program Alert: The Maintenance Pass

Owner-training is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be challenging as it requires continuous commitment of time, energy, and patience. At times the process may feel overwhelming and you may need a little extra support to continue to make progress in between your classes.

We listened to your feedback, recognized the unique challenges owner-trainers face, and built this program to offer hands-on support available when you need it.

This is why we are so excited to launch our Maintenance Pass Program!

Drop your dog off for one hour of dedicated, one-on-one training with one of our trainers. Whether your dog needs extra help with learning a skill, working through a specific behaviour, or you’re struggling to find time for targeted public outings, you don’t have to do it alone. Your trainer will work directly with your dog on the exact skills, manners, or public outings you want to prioritize to help you reach your training goals.

Please note this training option is exclusively for our Owner Trained clients.

To learn more or to book your sessions please reach out to us at [email protected] or talk with your Summit trainer.

On National Dog Day, we’re shining a light on the incredible dogs who stand right by our side through all of life’s adventures.

From highly skilled service dogs offering daily support to cherished family pets filling our homes with joy and unconditional love, their presence changes everything for the better.

They are our ultimate partners in all things—always up for an adventure, perfectly content to curl up next to you, and ready with a soft nudge or slobbery kisses whenever we need grounding.

To the dedicated working dogs, the cuddle bugs, the enthusiastic pups, the olds souls and everything in between, thank you for bringing so much love into our everyday lives! 💙

Off-duty and loving life! 🐾✨

This is one of the most common questions we get is whether our service dogs in training get to just be dogs - and the answer is 100% yes!
When the vest comes off, it’s all about letting them relax, play, and enjoy being a pet. While we follow consistent guidelines to protect their training and ensure smooth transitions back to work, off-duty time is packed with fun.

Here’s what off-duty life looks like for our dogs:
🐾 Sniff-filled walks & play sessions
🧸 Picking out their very own toys
☀️ Fun summer adventures like boating and swimming
🩵 Endless cuddles, belly rubs, and affection

Why is off-duty balance so important?
1. Prevents Burnout: Service work takes immense focus and mental energy. Taking time to unwind keeps their minds fresh, happy, and eager to learn.
2. Strengthens Our Bond: True teamwork is built on mutual trust, love, and respect.
3. Meets Their Needs: A successful service dog team starts with a happy, healthy, and well-balanced dog.

When a dog’s physical, mental, and emotional needs are fully met, they are set up to thrive—both in vest and out! 💙

Meet Stella! 🐾

Outgoing, dedicated, and full of joy—that’s Stella!
She is our social butterfly, approaching every day with complete dedication and 100% effort.

Stella lives for going out and exploring, especially if there’s an escalator to ride—it’s officially her favourite perk of the job! Beneath all that focus is a world-class wiggle butt and a dog who spreads pure happiness wherever her paws take her.

A huge thank you to Lisa and Tyler, who puppy-raised Stella. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the exceptional work and commitment you’ve shown her. By giving her such a strong training foundation and exposing her to so many new environments, you’ve set Stella up for success in this next chapter. Your hard work has truly laid the groundwork for her future!

Our advanced training dogs in Edmonton had the wonderful opportunity to explore the Edmonton International Airport! ✈️

Airport outings are one of the ultimate tests for a service dog in training. It brings every element of their training together—from working around crowds and rolling suitcases, to navigating security and waiting in line to board a plane. Outings like this gives us a fantastic picture of where each dog is at in their journey and highlight just how far they’ve come.

A massive thank you to Edmonton International Airport and their wonderful team for welcoming us and supporting the development of life-changing service dogs! ❤️🐾
