Our scarecrows are poised to be a late-breaking entry in this weekend's General Clinton Canoe Regatta. At the least, they're prepared for all of this rain!

Thanks to Farmers Sandy and Matt for making us chuckle with this creative display!

When your goose dog doesn't believe you when you say there are no birds here....

Delta clearly doesn't feel I'm up to the job😊. She hates to miss an opportunity.

It has been a busy spring, lots of birds to move on and just as visits quieted down goslings made their appearance! Birds are on the move again, possibly looking for a place to settle to molt, possibly this " fall" like weather has them restless. Whichever is the case, we are working hard and the weather is not stopping us from keeping parks, residential areas, retirement villages clear of geese.

Now is the time to move geese on, before you are stuck with them molting on your property. Give us a call!

Spoiler alert:
No tool will stop your dog from pulling on its own. A front-clip harness, bungee leash, or Halti, slipleash or prong collar can help manage pulling, but they are NOT magic fixes.

Training is the only way to truly solve the problem. Tools assist the training—they don't replace it. And unfortunately the pet industry marketing machine LOVES to prey on people with the next cute looking piece of equipment that doesn't work.

If you get the training right you can walk your dog on whatever piece of equipment you like!

Cooperative care!

This is a new class for me to teach and I'm really excited for it.

This class is designed for building confidence and skills on your dog in scary situations. Skills taught will be according to needs/requests in the class. In addition to learning new skills this class will also set in motion a step by step theory to teaching your dog anything.
