My dog, Pauley today at work. Laying down while a school of 50 primary school kids did their colour run infront of him, and while I taught those 50 kids. No lead. No collar. Only voice connection. Trust is what I build between you and your dog to know they will be patient and respectful even when your attention is diverted.

Next obedience course: September 7, 24 and 21.
Next therapy dog course: September 22-25.
Next assistance dog bootcamp March 16-19.

Shoot me a message. I'd love to have you.
Spaces are capped and filling.

Today we’re celebrating another year of tail wags, slobbery kisses, and unconditional love from our Favorite furry team member at AELC! 💛🐶
Grippy, you bring so much joy, comfort, and giggles to the children (and staff!) every single day. Whether you're playing fetch, joining in on story time, Joining us on our walks at the farm, or just being your sweet, calming self, you're truly the heart of our centre. ❤️
From your zoomies to your snuggles, every moment with you is a gift. Here’s to another paw-some year filled with belly rubs, treats, and new adventures with your little human friends at AELC! 🦴🎂🐾

Our blossoms children helped to make some special “pup cakes” with potato frosting!!! Grippy thinks they were divine!

Sit and stay while owners leave for an extended duration and then return. Our dogs remain calm and focused. This is a crucial skill of a well behaved dog, particularly a therapy dog. Note also the level of calm both dogs maintained when the owner returned. Not boisterous or over excited, relaxed and ready to continue working.

My next available therapy dog course is September 22-25.
My next assistance dog bootcamp is March 16-19.

Reach out if you would like to book in, have more information or join an obedience course prior to either of the above courses.

Don't worry, this is a dog page, so don't be concerned if you're new to the page and you're like what?! Health? Huh?

I'm sharing only because tomorrow I'm being interviewed about this health program, which for me has been absolutely life changing. It was actually an accident that I ever saw the program, I didn't go looking for it, instead a past participant of my therapy dog course shared her journey with the program, and I saw it. So I'm passing the gift on because I am so grateful for that accidental discovery.

Through this program physically I've been able to lose the weight I put on when having my girls. My aches and pains are gone to the point that after my last c-section I lost the ability to stand for more than an hour without pain, this program changed that and now I'm pain free. My energy levels have gone through the roof. My heart rate is now controlled; I'm not bloated; I'm more active; and I'm just generally happier.

It's such a brilliant program focussing on 3 key areas: accountability; real food; and walking.

And don't worry, I won't be posting again about health. :) I just thought it's something that I'm so grateful to have accidentally seen that maybe I can help someone else accidentally see it too 😂

Stay well, stay healthy, stay loving your furry friends. Have a great night all, and PM if you'd like the link for the zoom tomorrow.

:)
Annie
