I’ll be placing an order this weekend with The Lodge For Paws for their handmade EM tick collars, if anyone would like one added onto my order let me know! 🐾

For anyone unfamiliar with EM collars - they’re made with special ceramic beads that are designed to help naturally repel ticks by making dogs less attractive to them. A lot of people use them as an extra layer of protection during tick season, especially for dogs that spend lots of time hiking, in fields, at trials, camping, etc.

These are a non-toxic, chemical-free option that many people use as an added layer of protection during tick season, especially for dogs frequently in bush, tall grass, trials, hikes, etc. They’re waterproof, lightweight, and meant to be worn full time alongside your dog’s regular collar.

Important: these are NOT a replacement for veterinary flea/tick prevention. They are best used as an additional preventative measure alongside your regular meds to help reduce the number of ticks ending up on your dog in the first place. As with any preventative, they are not 100% guaranteed and regular tick checks are still important.

The collars take a few weeks of consistent wear to fully activate and should be rinsed monthly + dried in the sun to help recharge the beads. Lifespan is roughly 10–12 months.

All collars are fully customizable with size & colours!

All collars are $30. Message me if you’d like added to the order🌿

We are hosting our very first Barn Hunt Fun Match on June 1st at 6:30PM in Walkerton, ON! Whether you’ve stepped in the barn hunt ring once before or you’re looking for a fun night to practice with your dog, this is for you.

Barn hunt is such an amazing way to build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and let dogs tap into their natural instincts in a safe and rewarding environment. Watching dogs problem solve, gain confidence, and genuinely LOVE what they’re doing is one of the best parts of this sport.

This fun match is designed to be low pressure, welcoming, and beginner friendly. All breeds, ages, and skill levels are welcome, whether you have a sport dog, pet dog, nervous dog, or a dog that just loves to sniff!

Come hang out, learn something new, and let your dogs do what they love most 🐾

Message us for more information or to reserve your spot!

The response has been unreal — thank you 🤍 You asked for it, so here it is.

The #1 question I’ve been getting is: what’s the benefit for my dog?
Getting out and doing something with your dog just for fun is one of the best ways to build your bond. You’re learning to work together, reading each other better, and tackling a new challenge as a team — all while letting your dog tap into their natural instincts and actually use their brain. It’s confidence building, enrichment, and teamwork all in one (and yes… it’s just as fun as it looks 🐀).

✨ Intro to Barn Hunt – ‘dog edition’ ✨
If your dog loves to sniff, explore, climb, or problem solve… they are going to LOVE this.

🐾 What to expect:
• Safe, controlled intro to barn hunt using real (but fully protected) rats
• Dogs never come into direct contact — safety is always #1
• Build hunt drive, confidence, and focus
• Learn the basics of searching, indication, and working as a team
• Lots of cheering, laughs, and “omg they found it!!” moments

👥 Small group sizes so every dog gets plenty of turns, coaching, and a positive first experience — no chaos, no overwhelming environment.

📅 Group Class
May 11 & May 12
⏰ 3 x 1-hour time slots each night
🐶 1 class per dog
💲 $35 per dog

📩 Private Sessions
Available upon request

This is perfect for any dog — big, small, young, old, experienced or completely new. You don’t need a “barn hunt dog”… you just need a dog that deserves to have some fun.

🚨 COMING SOON 🚨

Barn Hunt training is coming!! 🐀✨

If you’ve never heard of barn hunt before — think of it like a giant game of hide-and-seek… but for your dog.
Rats are safely hidden in aerated tubes within a maze of straw bales, and your dog uses their nose (and brain 🧠) to find them. It taps into their natural hunting instincts in a super fun, safe, and controlled way — no experience needed!

AND before anyone panics — yes, they are actual rats… but no, your dog will NOT come into direct contact with them.
They’re in secure, ventilated tubes and everyone is completely safe.
Believe it or not, the rats are actually trained for this too — they’re handled properly, rotated, and honestly live pretty elite little lives 👑🐀

Whether you’ve got a high-energy chaos dog, a sniffy explorer, or a dog that just needs a confidence boost, barn hunt is SUCH a cool outlet. It builds:
🐾 Confidence
🐾 Problem-solving skills
🐾 Focus & teamwork
🐾 And gives them a job they actually LOVE

I’ve been deep in the barn hunt world myself, and watching dogs figure it out and light up is honestly addictive 😭🔥

✨ Sessions will be launching soon — intro, skill-building, and more details to come! Welcome to any breed, age or size!

📩 Send me a message to get on the list so you’ll be the first to know when everything officially drops + spots open!
