Hey Halifax friends! 👋

We’ll be spending some time in HRM over the next couple of months and thought it would be a great opportunity to open a limited number of spots for in-home training beginning this August.

Whether you’re working through reactivity, leash pulling, jumping, recall, puppy training, aggression, or just want a dog that’s easier to live with, we’ll come to you and work on things where they’re actually happening.

We’ll only be taking a ✨ small ✨ number of weekend clients, and once those spots are full, they’re full.

If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), send us a message and tell us a little about your dog! 🐾 You can also head to our website to complete an intake form and book a FREE evaluation to talk through your training plan.

P.S. Don’t worry, Colchester County friends—we’re still here too! ❤️

Sometimes people come to us after trying everything else…

The books. The videos. Different approaches. Medications…

Our goal is not perfect obedience (unless that’s yours, then let’s do it!) It’s helping people enjoy life with their dogs again.

Thank you to every client who trusted us, put in the work, and shared these kind words. We are incredibly grateful to be part of your journey. ❤️

Give us a shout if you have questions or want to build an even better relationship with your pup 🤗

PS. You KNOW Ashley was tickled at “Taylor-Made” approach 🤭💕

If it’s not fun, we’re not interested ✨

The dogs are learning.
The humans are learning.
And we are probably laughing 😅

Life’s too short for boring dog training! We do nerd out on dog training… but we also play, we take it to the real world, we use our dogs, we build your confidence and build a community along the way 🥰

Some of my favourite glamour shots happen on ✨ place ✨

A dog training staple! We don’t use place to avoid unwanted behaviour but it’s helpful for impulse control, building on marks, a segway into teach your dog to rest and more!

Plus, it makes for some very cute photos 🤗

Here’s some recent Kinfolk Dogs at their place lesson; Luna, Honey, Ellie May, Kalo, Luca, Whiskey and Lilly!

What do you use your place command for? What silly things have you done to test it? 💃

🏆 All Star Clients 🥇

These guys are seriously incredible. They were doing everything they were told to help Otis with his dislike of people and reactivity, unfortunately they just weren’t given the best advice. But they never stopped trying.

Full transparency… we were awkward trainers and didn’t get proper before footage of Otis 🙃 Luckily his owners came through and sent some so you can see where he started.

When Otis first came to the shop he was really not a fan of Taylor and Ashley (to put it mildly...) Fast forward a few weeks and now he’s playing off leash with US and crushing it in group class.

These guys have put in the ✨work✨ and we are so proud.

Shout out to sister Indy for that 10/10 recall too 👏 They originally came to us for Indy to get a good start since they were told Otis wasn’t fixable. With everything they had tried before, we can understand why they believed that!

But Otis quickly became our side project turned main project 😝

Amazing what a little clarity can achieve in a few weeks… after years of being told to rely on “redirection” and “threshold work.”

Proud of you guys!!!

Happy 9th Birthday to the big guy, Mr. Roman! ❤️
Our crazy reactive head case turned distinguished gentleman, the dog that started it all, the face of the company.
(If you haven’t read his story, it’s on our dog blog 😉)
He’s getting extra time in the sunshine, adventures and an ice cream on his special day. What else do you think Roman would like to do on his birthday!?

A Nacho appreciation post. He stole Taylor’s chair. He deserved a seat though… 🫂 💕
