that such relationships bring. Her work started with fostering animals, working with each as an individual to ensure they would have the best possible chance for success in a new home. In 2010, she realized she could make a more direct impact by applying her years of experience and knowledge to working intimately with dogs and their humans, fostering positive and compassionate communication and a fun, meaningful, rewarding relationship. Cindy is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) and has served as Apprentice for the Calgary Humane Society, teaching behaviour classes and working on assessments of incoming animals. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT KA) and a Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine (CBCC KA) and has countless hours of first-hand experience working with almost every conceivable behavioral situation. Cindy volunteers extensively with organizations including the Animal Rescue Foundations of Alberta and Ontario (ARF), the Calgary Humane Society and Little Mittens Rescue Society.

Transportation Volunteers Needed!

At Little Mittens Domestic and Wildlife Rescue, we're dedicated to providing care and rehabilitation to animals in need - from orphaned wildlife to domestic pets. But we can't do it alone!

We rely on a network of amazing volunteers across the province to help transport animals to and from our rescue center, as well as to and from vet appointments. Your help ensures that animals receive the medical care and attention they need, when they need it most!

Whether it's a fledgling bird, a fawn, a dog, or a cat, every animal deserves our care and compassion. By volunteering with us, you'll be making a real difference in the lives of animals in need.

If you're able to lend a hand (and a vehicle!), please send us a message or comment below. Let's work together to give animals a second chance! "

When you finally welcome your 8 week old puppies, please keep this picture in mind. Their bones aren’t even touching yet. They walk so beautifully with big, flexible legs and bench movements because their joints are made up entirely of cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments covered with skin. Nothing is well adjusted or has real grip yet.

When you make them run excessively or don't limit their exercise to prevent them from overdoing during that time, you're not giving them the chance to grow properly. Every big jump or bounce and excited run creates bone-breaking impacts.
In reasonable quantities, this is not problematic and normal wear and tear will do.

But when you let the puppy jump off the couch or bed, take him for long walks, you damage this joint in training. When you let the puppy move on slippery surfaces, you damage the joint.

You only get once to make them grow up. A well built body is something that comes from excellent upbringing and good education. BOTH , not just one

Once you’re an adult, you’ll have the rest of your life to spend playing and engaging in high-impact exercises. So keep him calm while he is still young and give him the gift that can only be given once.

These were the books that I talked about on the conference live chat today.

(I added “Juvenile Delinquent Dogs”, by Sue Brown, because Cindy was talking about training the adolescent raven.🙂)

Our Story

For over 20 years, Cindy has devoted herself to the care, understanding, and development of the human-animal bond. Her philosophy is that when we bring animals into our world we have a responsibility to work with them through training to not only manage that shared world, but to thrive in it. Her goal is to keep dogs in their homes forever, and help their human companions reap the joys and rewards that such relationships bring. Her work started with fostering animals, working with each as an individual to ensure they would have the best possible chance for success in a new home. In 2004 she joined the Calgary Zoo, and spent six years as a keeper/trainer. In 2010, she realized she could make a more direct impact by applying her years of experience and knowledge to working intimately with dogs and their humans, fostering positive and compassionate communication and a fun, meaningful, rewarding relationship.
