Koda and Winston (pack walk clients) started their e-collar conditioning today through a virtual session!

They crushed it and it was such a fun time.

It was great to connect with them back home in Calgary. So excited to see the progress now that they are taking their training to the next level!

During our walk at Liberty State Park we came across a 9/11 Memorial.

The memorial had many names of the lives that were lost carved into the walls. It was facing directly towards where the Freedom tower stands, where the Twin towers once were.

We are thrilled to welcome our newest Pack Leader!

Hey everyone, I’m Christie!

Ever since I was young I knew I would have a career working with animals. I have been in the pet industry for over 16 years now, specifically working with canines.

Having worked with so many dogs over the years and having my own personal dogs with issues, I am always looking to further my education in every aspect from training to nutrition and beyond.

When I’m not living and breathing dogs, I am spending time with my little family. You can also find me with my nose shoved in a novel (with a dog on my lap of course), drawing, or doing something with plants.

I am thrilled to be a Pack Leader and look forward to furthering my knowledge and building my relationships with you and your dogs.

Sydney recently showed her great leadership skills while working with the pack during a special impromptu photoshoot that captured behind-the-scenes moments. When a photographer was around walking with his daughter, he captured Sydney as she guided our pack smoothly, creating a nice display of teamwork. Her ability to lead calmly and involve the pack in working together not only led to nice pictures but also showed the real bonds formed during our daily adventures.

As Scout, my loyal German Shepherd, celebrates her 9th birthday, it’s a touching moment to reflect on the incredible journey we have shared over the years. From the picturesque landscapes of Calgary to the bustling streets of New York, Scout has been a steadfast companion through thick and thin. Together, we’ve embarked on countless adventures, creating a tapestry of memories that weave through mountain trails, city parks, and the diverse landscapes that mark our transition from one corner of North America to another.

Scout’s 9th birthday is not just a marker of time but a celebration of resilience, adaptability, and the unbreakable bond forged through the adventures of life. From the wide-open spaces of the Canadian Rockies to navigating the vibrant urban jungle of New York, Scout’s paws have left imprints on the canvas of our shared experiences. As I reminisce about the trails we’ve conquered and the city streets we’ve explored, I take a moment to appreciate the silent language of loyalty that Scout has spoken with every step. Here’s to Scout, a faithful companion, and the many more adventures that undoubtedly await in the years to come. Happy 9th birthday!

Apollo

Apollo the Golden Doodle (almost 2yrs) is one of our newest pack walk members! When I think of a well-rounded dog, I think of Apollo. He has the most beautiful temperament to him and in the videos you’ll often see his tail wagging non-stop simply due to our acknowledgment of his presence. Take it to the next level with praise and pets and you’ll have a best friend for life.

We did some initial training with Apollo’s owners to make walks a more enjoyable experience for all (hello shoulder pain and using full bodyweight to stop him from eating random items off the sidewalk), and wow what a difference we have seen! We conditioned Apollo to a 2.25mm Herm Sprenger prong and with the recent addition of a Mini Educator by , Apollo now walks with a loose leash, isn’t darting across the sidewalk and lunging at dogs (barrier frustration previously), and is a wonderful companion every single day!

Kiwi

Kiwi, the delightful Golden Retriever, has brought an extra layer of sunshine to our pack walks. Kiwi has recently completed our group e-collar class, showcasing his dedication to training and his owners’ commitment to providing the best guidance for him.

The successful completion of the e-collar class has not only added a new level of responsiveness to Kiwi’s behaviour but has also strengthened the bond between him and his owners. Witnessing Kiwi’s well-mannered and cooperative demeanour during our walks is a testament to the positive impact of structured training within our pack community.

Here’s to Kiwi, a golden gem in our pack, and the collective success of our four-legged community.

Hank

Hank, the affable Black Lab, has been an integral member of our pack walks, bringing his infectious energy and friendly demeanour to every outing. Hank’s owners reached out to us with a specific goal in mind – fine-tuning his existing e-collar training. Recognizing the importance of continual improvement and refinement, they sought to enhance Hank’s responsiveness and overall behaviour during our shared adventures on our pack walks.

The collaborative effort between Hank’s owners and our pack has been truly inspiring. Through targeted adjustments and consistent reinforcement, Hank has not only fine-tuned his e-collar training but has also become a shining example of the positive impact that meticulous attention to training details can have on a dog’s behaviour. As Hank continues to strut alongside us in our walks with confidence and obedience, his story stands as a testament to the power of ongoing training partnerships and the commitment of both owners and our pack community to provide the best possible experience for our canine companions.

Kona

Kona, the sweet Black Lab, has been an endearing member of our pack walks. Initially known for pulling her owners in all directions with infectious enthusiasm, Kona has undergone a significant shift in behaviour from training with us. She now seamlessly gliding beside her owners in a relaxed, loose leash heel. This transformation not only speaks volumes about Kona’s adaptability but also reflects the dedication of her owners to providing consistent and dedicated training.

Witnessing Kona’s composure during our walks is a testament to the power of patience, perseverance, and effective training methods. Her owners’ commitment to fostering good behaviour has not only enhanced Kona’s experience during our outings but has also positively impacted the overall dynamics of our pack walks.

Roxie and June

Roxie and June, the dynamic duo of our pack walks. Towering over the landscape and the other pack walk clients with their majestic presence, these two Great Danes have recently embarked on a new chapter of their journey by diving into e-collar training with us. The decision to integrate this training was driven by their owners’ commitment to providing the best guidance for these large and lovable companions.

They are full of love and slobber lol

Scout

Scout, our devoted German Shepherd mix, has become a heartwarming fixture in our pack walks. With an unwavering eagerness and loyalty, Scout has developed a charming routine of eagerly awaiting our arrival at the front door, ready to embark on our shared adventures. It’s a heartening sight to witness her anticipation, tail wagging with enthusiasm, as if signalling the start of another chapter in our communal journey.

Her presence serves as a reminder of the joy and anticipation that our pack walks bring not only to the dogs but also to the humans who share it.

Frank & Karl

Frank & Karl have such different personalities.

Frank is big goofy Newfypoo that is happy to be out on all of our walks. Just walking one foot in front of the other makes his day. Simple eye contact with him and he will be full of beans.

And then there is Karl. Karl is a Bernedoodle with an old man spirit. You know the seniors that walk around outside with fly swatters all day? That is him.

Both of them have completed one of our Group E-collar conditioning classes.

Mini Educators by are their tools.

So much love for these goofballs!

Another amazing 5 Star review!

Hank is such a pleasure to work with. His owners dedication to training sure shines through in him.

We regularly hear of the wins they have and how much inclusion Hank gets in their lives. So proud of all the hard work they put in every day.

They contacted us initially for some fine tuning in their training, which led to him joining the pack walks as well.

WAY TO GO!!!

Name: Kiwi
Breed(s): Golden Retriever
Age: 2 Years

Prior to the e-collar conditioning class, Kiwi had joined our services as a Pack Walk client. Having completed previous e-collar training, Kiwi’s owners felt they still could not trust him off leash and he struggled with his impulse control with his basic obedience commands. This was especially difficult when the 3 D’s of dog training were added; Distance, Duration and Distraction.

Upon completing our e-collar course, Kiwi’s impulse control, recall, leash walking and engagement with his owners have remarkably improved.

They continue to put in hard work every single day that is also noticeable in his overall demeanour in the pack walks.

Hello everybody!

I’m Cailey, and this is my dog Bailey.

I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs, and am excited to work with yours! I am committed to creating a happier and healthier lifestyle for you, your pup, and myself! As a pack leader I enjoy creating a strong bond with your dog, as well as assisting them in finding their confidence, personality, and to be better versions of themselves! Outside of work you will usually find me exploring with Bailey, playing soccer, or overall being anywhere outdoors.

A nice group shot at a dog friendly patio when we went to celebrate all the hard work everyone put in after our final class.

All of the owners and their dogs completed our 8 week group class introduction to e-collar conditioning.

They did incredible! So proud of them and the hard work they put in daily from start to finish!

E-collars have such a bad stigma associated to them. When conditioned properly and humanely, they open up a whole new world of freedom and inclusion for the owners and their dogs.

Drop the stigma. Educate yourself💯
