Last weekend was our last Scent trial of 2024!

I could not have done it without all of my amazing volunteers, wonderful venues who allow us to rent them, donations from generous businesses, and the ever awesome Judge, Jean Marc.

Trials are a labour of love and they take a village. I am truly thankful for mine 🖤

October is a busy month for us people and our dogs! Thanksgiving is filled with family time and Halloween can be hard as doorbells can drive dogs crazy!

Are you ready for these upcoming holidays? How can we help?

Summer vacation is over, folks. No more lazy lake days, late nights, or sleeping in. It's back to the grind – work, school, sports and this means for Fido too. Mornings now mean getting up early, making lunches, and dealing with traffic. For our dogs, this likely means days spent by themselves waiting for their humans to come home. Routine can be a life saver though! We'll talk more about routine this week.

Our vacation was spent in the mountains and at whatever lakes we could find with docks!  

Canine Coaching classroom doors are swinging open, and it's time to hit the books! Join us this fall for all of our various classes! We still have spots in our classes starting next week.

What did you do this summer? We'd love to see/hear!

Vaccines can be a hot topic but we believe they are a great form of preventative medicine!

Having a good relationship with your vet is super important so that you have someone to ask questions and help figure out what is best for your pet.

Earlier we learned what vaccines are and how they work. Now let's talk about what vaccines your pets need?

We recommend that all pets are vaccinated for their CORE vaccines at a minimum.

🐶 For dogs, this means protection from Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Rabies. Bordetella is another highly recommended vaccine, but other optional vaccines are dependent on your location and dog’s lifestyle.

🐱 For cats, this includes Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and rabies. Again, a highly recommended additional vaccine is the Feline leukemia virus.

Vaccinating your pets ensures they’re prepared for those inevitable accidents and reduces the severity of illness if they are to contract something. Annual or biennial vaccines ensure that your pet is going in for an annual health exam, and getting checked out from nose to toes. This means you have a higher chance of catching health concerns early on, and as a bonus, your pet is receiving appropriate preventative care. It’s a win-win!

Contact your Pioneer Veterinary Team with any questions and to book your pets for vaccines!

We want to say thank you to everyone who signed up for our October trial.

We have sent out our confirmation and waitlist emails so if you haven't heard from us please reach out as well as checking your spam. We are responding to questions this morning as well so please be patient; we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We are blown away by the popularity of this sport. A normal day can fit approximately 25 dogs (give or take how many runs a person signs up for). Within TWO minutes we had over 35 dogs entered on both Friday and Saturday and we had over FIFTY dogs enter in that time for Sunday.

We do hope to plan more trials in the near future and hopefully have a few more in 2025 than we have had time for in the last couple of years.

We couldn't host these without your support and we are feeling the love today for sure!
