Prairieland Service Dog Training

Lightning has been putting in the work lately! Over the last couple of sessions we’ve focused on structured walks, engagement, and maintaining focus around distractions. Today was a big milestone as she visited a non-pet-friendly environment for the very first time. We headed to Walmart, and Lightning absolutely crushed it. She stayed engaged, worked through distractions, and showed us just how much progress she’s made. We still have a few skills to polish and continue building, but I’m incredibly happy with where she’s at in her training. It’s always rewarding to see the hard work from both dog and handler start coming together.

Everyone say hi to Miley! Miley joined PSDT through a breeder referral and has been training with me through the Selective Intake Program for the last few months.

Lately I’ve found myself working with quite a few shepherds, and Miley fits right in. She’s Sky’s sister and came to me with some leash reactivity and some pretty big feelings about other dogs.

When we first started, Miley struggled to focus on her handler with another dog about 50 feet away. Tonight, she worked around Bentley at roughly 15 feet away in her own front yard and did awesome.

The best part? Her handler has been putting in the work between sessions, and it’s paying off. Training only works when the humans do their homework too.

Miley still has goals to work toward, but she’s making great progress and I’m excited to keep building on what she’s learned so far.

Meet Zubie, who is beginning his journey toward becoming a service dog. From the moment we met him, he showed all the qualities we look for in a promising prospect. His calm temperament, eagerness to learn, and natural empathy make him an excellent candidate for the job.

We can’t wait to watch him grow and support him every step of the way. Welcome to the PSDT family, Zubie!

A huge thank you to everyone who grabbed information, shared their stories, or just stopped by to say hi. We appreciate every bit of support.

I’ve been following the discussion surrounding Air Canada’s new service dog policies.

While I agree that fraud and poorly trained dogs are real concerns, I also believe legitimate owner-trained service dog teams deserve fair and accessible pathways to travel.

As a Saskatchewan trainer, my biggest concern isn’t standards it’s ensuring those standards remain accessible, affordable, and available to handlers across Canada.

This is an important conversation, and I think it’s one worth approaching with facts, respect, and an open mind.

Hi everyone, just a quick update I had my follow-up appointment and ankle X-ray today, and thankfully things are healing the way they should.
That said, I’m going to take one more week off before reopening my schedule and booking sessions again to make sure I heal properly and don’t rush the process.
I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and flexibility while I recover from this injury. I’m looking forward to getting back to training soon. Thank you for sticking with me.
