I don’t have a clue how she can do this. Sticks her face under water and can drink the water at the same time? Chickadee 7 months old.

The Puppy & Beginner $99 deal was such a hit last time, we’re thrilled to bring it back! And this time we’ve added even more dates through October!

For just $99 (Reg. $159), you’ll get a full 6-week program; that’s only $16.50 per class. Each class meets once a week for one hour, at the same time and day each week. This schedule gives you time to practice and solidify what you’ve learned between sessions, helping you and your dog see real progress that sticks.

This program is designed for puppies and adult beginners, and provides the essential foundation every dog needs to succeed at home and out in the world.

Through positive reinforcement-based methods, we’ll teach your dog to:
✅ Focus on you
✅ Wait, working on growing the distance and at thresholds
✅ Sit and working into holding the position reliably
✅ Walk politely on a loose leash (heel is introduced in intermediate)

Classes are held inside PetSmart Timmins, giving your dog invaluable practice in a busy, real-world environment.

If you’re not sure which level your dog is ready for, just send me a message! I’d be happy to help guide you to the right place to start.

📅 Sale runs July 21–27, 2025.

Chickadee 🐥 is nearing 4 months of age and has a great recall. We still need to work on this with distractions and different areas.

Obedience training is a lifelong skill and it's never too late to start! Whether your dog is a 10-week-old pup or a 4-year-old adult, training builds confidence, communication, and calmness that lasts a lifetime.

Our 6 week group program is designed to set your dog (and you!) up for success using positive reinforcement, real-life scenarios, and guidance in a supportive fun setting.

Class Format:
✅ Classes run once a week for 6 weeks
✅ 1 hour per session, same day & time each week
✅ Small class sizes – only up to 5 dogs per group
This ensures personalized support, plenty of working space, and more one-on-one coaching time for every team.

🍼 PUPPY TRAINING (For dogs 10 weeks to 4 months)
This is the most critical stage of development. What your puppy learns now forms the foundation for adult behaviour.

We focus on:
✔ Positive socialization with dogs, people, sounds.
✔ Teaching foundational cues like Sit, Down, Come, and Focus
✔ Preventing common issues like biting, jumping, and barking
✔ Building Confidence

🐕 BEGINNER OBEDIENCE (For dogs 4 months and up)
Perfect for teen, adult, or rescue dogs who need structure, focus, and improved manners , no prior training needed!

We teach:
✔ Loose leash Walking
✔ Focus and calmness around other dogs and distractions
✔ Practical cues like Wait, Drop It, Leave It, and so much more!
✔ Building a stronger bond through clarity and consistency

🏪 Why Training In-Store Sets You Up for Real Life:
Our classes are held inside PetSmart which naturally introduces real-world distractions like carts, customers, other pets, and noises.

Happy 6th Birthday to our “Stud Muffin” Rafael. Here he is playing with Eddie and Chickadee who are helping him celebrate. 🥳🐾🎉🥰

Oh what can I say about this brown boy. He was so challenging at first🐾💙. Our first night, Paisley carried him to me twice,dropping him as she ran him to me in the middle of the night. I thought there was something wrong with him, but alas, Paisley just didn’t know how to quell his cries and wanted me to deal with him. 😂 And so I did. He was the first to be chosen, and the last to leave. 12 weeks together and we of course became sooo attached to him. I’ll miss my morning Tiago cuddles. He is off to live with cows and will find a new friend in Luna. I know his new family will love him forever, and so will we.

Bruce left today to go to his new home in Cochrane. 🥹🐾💙 It gets tougher as they get older to see them go. His new name is Jake and I am sure he will be showered with time and loving attention by his new family. He was the first born and I remember calling out to Carlos: “I see a tongue!” What a special moment and a special pup ❤️😇.

All the puppies are officially sold! I am so happy to see that most of the families are from the local Timmins area (5/7). Introducing the PWD breed to more Northern Ontario families was a huge part of me starting this journey in the first place. In a few weeks, the last 2 will be picked up and our home will be ours again. 😂 Special thank you to all who shared, liked and commented on our posts. You helped us spread the word and get them into amazing homes. We are incredibly sad to see them leave, but we know it’s for the best that our pride puppies have individual attention.
