New space, new smells, and SO many opportunities for sniffing! 🐾👃

We're so excited to be welcoming our K9 Nosework and Urban Hunting students to our new training facility!

With a large indoor search area, smaller rooms and alcoves, outdoor spaces, different surfaces, and opportunities for vehicle searches, there's plenty for our canine detectives to explore and new challenges to tackle as their skills grow.

A huge thank you to all the students and dogs who have joined us in the new space already! 💚 We especially appreciate everyone who has taken the time to share feedback and suggestions. Your input is helping us make improvements so we can create an even safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable experience for everyone.

We're looking forward to seeing more noses put to work in our new space. Happy sniffing! 🐶

Would you believe both of these pups used to be pretty reactive? 👀

In this video, Tom (the white dog) and Jasper (the black & white dog) show exactly what we mean when we say reactive dogs don’t need “more discipline” or “obedience training.” They need skills, safety, and a supportive environment that helps them self-regulate and make good choices. A quick look at each other, a clean disengage, and right back to their training stations — these are the wins we live for!

Both dogs are graduates of our private lessons program and are now thriving in our Reactive Dog Club, a safe, supportive space where reactive dog parents can practice their homework and help their dogs feel relaxed around others. And if you’re a reactive dog parent, you’ll know that doing this indoors is training on hard mode, too. We’re so proud of how far these two (and their humans!) have come.

With patience and the right guidance, change truly is possible. Videos like these are the culmination of a thousand little wins that add up to big behaviour change.

If you’re a reactive dog parent, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to do this alone. It really does get better with the right help.
