Virtue K9

Our philosophy is simple. Great dogs are stable, confident, and obedient. Great owners are consistent, clear and encouraging.

We teach people how to be great dog owners and how to train their dogs to become great dogs.

She’s back!

After recovering from surgery, Winnie is back to work! She lost some fur during the process, so she’ll be rocking a t-shirt to keep the cold out until her fluff comes back. Coincidentally, 101 Dalmatian’s, which was the movie that made me fall in love with rough collies as a kid.

Huge thank you to Dr Grant at Deer Park Pet Hospital for taking such great care of her and putting the pep back in her step!

Happy Thanksgiving from our Virtue K9 family to yours!

Hoping you all get a break from the tryptophanitis* to play with your dog(s)!

The Switzerland table (neutrality table) got a facelift!

A concept I picked up during my time with , the Switzerland table is used to teach dogs neutrality to one another. A great tool for working through reactivity!

Winnie and Fitz are taking it one step further and showing their affection by holding paws ❤️

For Sparta!
That’s right, this 8 month old guy’s name is Spartacus and he is as mighty as his name! He had a great first session today and learned that screaming is not the path to getting what he wants. Very excited to see him grow and where his adventures take him!

Did you know? We serve clients in the Greater Edmonton area! Get in touch to set up some time to get to know each other.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary () last week. As a trainer, it was so fascinating to watch the wolfdogs interact with each other and the wide range of how they responded to humans. I have so much respect for the role Yamnuska plays in education and awareness. Also, a huge thank you to the staff for humouring me and all my questions, even though it was freezing outside!

Being informed about the genetic and individual needs of an animal before you bring them into your home is critical; not every lifestyle or home is the right fit for a particular animal. Inquire before you acquire!
