September is such a beautiful time of year to get outside, enjoy the sunshine and breathe in some fresh air 🍂

Time to lace up your shoes and head out for a walk with your dog! And if you don’t have a dog, there’s always one at the Humane Society waiting for someone to take them out for a little adventure 🐕
Since September 1st, Active Paws Academy has already walked 16 km with some very happy little furballs!

🎯 Today, I hit the target…

and I had so much fun doing it!

It also reminded me of something important: as a beginner, I was set up for success. I had clear guidance, realistic expectations, and an achievable goal.

That’s exactly how I want every Active Paws client to feel 🤩
You don’t need to know all the dog training theories to help your dog. Sometimes it’s the simple things you were never taught that make the biggest difference,and that’s what I’m here for!

Small wins build confidence. For you and your dog 🐶

We spend a lot of time thinking about how to keep our dogs happy, healthy, and safe.

But we also know that life can be unpredictable, and some things are worth protecting.

Through the District of Kitimat and Kitimat Chamber of Commerce business bootcamp, we recently connected with Agboola Law, a local business helping people protect what matters most.

« Oh… better cross the street with that dog coming! »

Before you assume, look at what the dog is saying. Warning signs are not about breed or looks, they are in the body language: 🐾 Stiff Posture
🐾 Freezing
🐾 Intense Stare
🐾 Closed Mouth
🐾 Lip Licking
🐾 Suddenly Stopping..

They communicate discomfort.

Noticing early warning signs helps you respond appropriately, and Active Paws Academy helps you get confident spotting them!

This beautiful and sweet girl is completely calm and relaxed in this video 😎 no need to change direction 😍

🐾 "My dog doesn't like certain dogs."

Possibly.

But more often, it’s not about “like” or “dislike”, some dogs simply haven’t learned proper social skills with other dogs, or haven’t had positive experiences with well-managed introductions. They also may struggle to read signals or miss the subtle cues that tell them when to approach, pause, or give space.

Without those skills, interactions can quickly feel overwhelming or confusing for them.

Before assuming your dog is selective or reactive, ask yourself: have they learned how to read other dogs, and have you learned how to guide proper introductions?

If not, Active Paws can help. 🐾

« My dog does’t listen »
Maybe…
But more often, the problem is that we think we're communicating clearly what we want from them, but our dog doesn't understand what we're asking.
Training isn't about making dogs listen, it's about teaching them a language they can understand.

If you're struggling with jumping, nipping, or everyday communication, Active Paws can help you learning how to teach your dog what you want from them.
