Huge Congrats to Maggie & Malachy!

These two rockstars just wrapped up their 14-day Off-Leash Transformation, and the results speak for themselves!

From wild and unruly to focused and reliable, they’ve put in the work—and it shows.

Now, they’re crushing life off-leash with skills like:

✅ Walking politely (no more dragging their humans!)
✅ Coming when called (even with distractions!)
✅ Holding commands with calm confidence

We’re so proud of the progress they’ve made—and a big shoutout to their amazing owners for committing to the follow-through at home. That’s what turns training into lasting results!

Off-leash freedom, unlocked.

20 years ago the advice in the dog training industry was:

“If your dog walks ahead of you then it’s gonna be dominant and kill you in your sleep!”

Total BS

Your dog can absolutely walk ahead of you and still see you as their leader

Leash walking is where our luxury Board & Train programs begin

And it’s where you should begin with your dog

We do FREE drop-in training every month and can show you how to do this

🎓🐾 Congratulations to Our Latest Board & Train Graduates! 🎉

Let’s hear it for:

Sam the border collie
Frankie the Aussie
Otis & Quinn the Aussie mixes
Loki the husky
Gimli the German shepherd

These guys are our latest Board & Train success stories!

These pups came in with big goals, and after weeks of training, structure, and hard work, they’re heading home as well-mannered, reliable companions.

From mastering obedience to overcoming behavioral challenges, each of these dogs has made incredible progress.

But the journey doesn’t stop here—now it’s time for their humans to enjoy the results and keep building on everything they’ve learned.

Drop a 🐾 in the comments to celebrate these superstars!

Also…. It was Sam’s 6 month birthday during his stay with us, swipe to the end to see his birthday hat!

Let’s be clear, we aren’t trying to say that a hound can never be quieted down, or that malinois can’t chill…

But we are saying that some breeds are naturally easier to keep quiet/calm than others

Most people enjoy dogs that naturally share preferences in exercise levels, noise levels, etc

Try to pick a breed that has similar preferences to yourself

🎓🐾 Congratulations to Our Recent Board & Train Graduates! 🎉

A huge shoutout to:

Ryder (Australian Shepherd)
Millie (Doodle)
Ozzie (Australian Shepherd)
Newt (Cane Corso)

…for absolutely crushing their training! These four have put in the work, and their owners now have the well-behaved, reliable companions they’ve always wanted.

From mastering leash manners to nailing their obedience skills, these pups are heading home with a whole new level of confidence and control.

But the real success? Strengthening the bond between dog and owner. 🐶❤️

Is your dog ready for a country getaway?

Just outside Stratford, our 130-acre farm is a natural paradise, home to both wild and domestic animals.

During their stay, your dog might be socializing and learning around our horses, sheep, and goats at the barns…

Or taking in the breathtaking beauty of bald eagles and river otters down by the water.

Either way, they’ll come home more focused, more refined, and more reliable.

After training in an environment teeming with life, a pesky squirrel won’t stand a chance at stealing their attention!

If squirrels and rabbits are your dog’s kryptonite on walks…

We’ll teach them to walk so well, you’ll be the envy of the neighborhood.

DAY ONE: Meet Chester, the rowdy labradoodle puppy!

Barking, chewing, and biting had taken over Chester’s life—and his humans were at their wit’s end

They’d tried everything but felt stuck, wondering if they were doing something wrong

That’s where we stepped in

On Chester’s very first day with us, we started teaching him to channel his energy into calm, focused behaviors—like place training

With the right structure, guidance, and breed-specific techniques, Chester began to understand what his humans truly wanted from him

Fast forward to graduation day: Chester is a completely different dog!

His barking is under control, he respects boundaries, and he’s a calm companion his family can enjoy

Want a doodle as well-behaved as Chester? 🐾

Check out our 35-Day Doodle Directive, a program designed to transform your pup into your dream dog—without sacrificing your lifestyle.

Puppies

As is typical around Christmas, there is a lot of new puppy owners out there trying their best to set their pups up for success

Below is 3 things to keep in mind with new puppies:

1) Prioritize

There’s so much to teach these little rascals and not enough time. Focus on what’s important for each life stage. We recommend prioritizing in the following order; house training, manners, then obedience

2) You get what you tolerate

If you let ‘em bark, they are gonna bark
If you let ‘em jump, they will jump
If you let ‘em nip… you get the idea
Our advice; address this stuff BEFORE the pups are 50lbs+

3) Don’t train in a behaviour your gonna have to train out later

This is so common. If you don’t want a dog on your bed when they are big, don’t let ‘em up there when they are small! Simples.

🐾 For the Love of the Dogs

We didn’t grow up in a hunting family. But when we saw how much fulfillment hunting brings to our dogs—the pride, joy, and purpose in their work—we knew we had to learn. Not for us, but for them.

The journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every moment. We taught ourselves how to hunt, how to train dogs for the field, and how to give them the life they were made to live. And this year has been full of moments that prove why we do it:

🌾 Our annual Pelee Island pheasant hunt was unforgettable. Watching Rebels huge improvement from last year was SO satisfying. Knight was his characteristic self: absolutely relentless in his pursuit of pheasants

🦆 Knight’s first duck hunt was a huge milestone—he nailed his retrieves and made us proud with every splash and every bird.

🐣 A litter of puppies arrived, each one carrying the potential to become the next companion and hunting buddy

🐶 And we welcomed a new puppy, Chief, into our home, ready to begin the journey of training and teamwork.

Our dogs have taught us so much about purpose, loyalty, and joy. This isn’t just hunting; it’s about giving our dogs a life that fulfills them. And in doing so, they’ve enriched ours beyond measure.

What’s the most fulfilling thing you’ve done to bring joy to your dog’s life? Share your stories—we’d love to hear them!

01/07/2025

This is a very common misconception

When assessing how comfortable your dog is, please look at their whole body, not just the tail!

🎓🐾 Congrats to Our Level 1 Obedience Graduates! 🐾🎓

Big round of applause (and belly rubs!) for the amazing dogs and their dedicated owners who just completed our Level 1 Obedience Program!

🎉 These pups have been hard at work learning essential skills to become well-behaved members of the family.

Here’s what they’ve mastered:

🦮 Walking politely on a leash (no more tug-of-war strolls!)

🚪 Greeting people properly at the front door (bye-bye, jumping and chaos!)

🐕‍🦺 Listening around distractions (because focus is key in the real world!)

You’ve all put in the effort, and it shows. Keep practicing, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for you in Level 2! 👏🐾

Prioritizing is KEY to training your dog without confusion

Most dogs aren’t ‘bad’ or dumb…

They’re just confused!

Prioritizing eliminates confusion 👌

12/04/2024

We get asked all the time about dog training. Yes, what we do is walk based training, socialization training and etiquette training, all using positive reinforcement and lots of rewards. We do work with dogs who have reactivity, these dogs are worked with one on one with Joel until he feels the dog is ready to meet the group. We’ve had many success stories that we are so proud of!

But what if what you’re needing is above and beyond what a dog walker can do for you and your dog? We have some awesome trainers locally that we’d happily recommend (we refer out a lot of clients to trainers if we feel them and their dog would benefit by it! So we hear some great feedback.)

Here are the local dog trainers we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know, and who we’ve received only positive feedback from our clients:

MP Canine Academy Morgan and Natasha at: https://www.mpcanineacademy.com/about

BOSS CO. Dog Training & Rehabilitation Brett at: https://bscdogtraining.com/

Bad Dogs Gone Good Dog Training Services Sarah at:
https://bscdogtraining.com/ (Sarah was on a hiatus we are unsure if she’s back but we had a lot of clients who loved her!)

Dog Training with John Wade - London Ontario John at: https://www.askthedogguy.com/

All of us should have the goal of giving our dogs the best life possible, working together as a community of dog professionals to help make that happen is the best feeling in the world.

Let’s hear it for ARCHIE! 👏

This Cocker Spaniel came in with some major sass and reactivity around other dogs. His humans were hoping to enjoy calm, stress-free walks even when other dogs were out and about—and Archie delivered! 🐾

Archie can now:
✅ Walk without pulling
✅ Listen and stay calm around other dogs
✅ Wait patiently on his dog bed during dinner

A huge shoutout to Archie’s amazing humans for putting in the work to help him reach his full potential! 🎉
