We had such a fun time during our fall Halloween shoot with our wonderful photographer, who also did our wedding photos! My wife, our dog Scout, and I all dressed up as ghosts with simple white sheets, and the results were fantastic. The pictures perfectly captured the spooky, playful spirit of the season, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

📸 Thank you for such amazing photos and a super fun memory!

Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful review! I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that Rhodes is doing so well after the 4-week program! It’s always such a rewarding experience to see a dog transform like that, and I’m so glad to know that you’re now able to enjoy your time with him without the stress that was there before.

Rhodes is such a bright boy, and it’s fantastic to hear he’s walking calmly by your side, staying in his lane, and no longer reacting to other dogs. The resource guarding was a big concern, and I’m so happy that we’ve been able to work through it, especially with your toddler at home. Your trust in me throughout the process truly means a lot, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help Rhodes become the amazing, playful companion you knew he could be.

Thank you again for your kind words—it’s clients like you that make this work so fulfilling!

Rhodes has successfully completed his four-week Board and Train program, focusing on behavior modification for intense resource guarding with fantastic results. During his stay, he made great strides in loose leash walking, transitioning from pulling on the leash and disconnect to walking calmly in a nice heel position, making walks more enjoyable. We also worked on off-leash reliability, allowing him the freedom to roam while still returning when called. He absolutely loves to play fetch! Rhodes’ behavior in public spaces has been wonderful and he now remains calm and neutral around distractions.

One of the standout achievements was setting new boundaries for resource guarding, creating a safer and more peaceful environment at home. Additionally, he was taught the “place” command, which has been a game changer for helping him settle down on command and giving him a safe place to relax. These accomplishments ensure Rhodes is a more well-behaved and reliable companion both at home and in various environments.

Today, I hit the big 4-0! 🎉 It’s crazy to think about how much has changed, grown, and evolved over the years. From chasing dreams, building a business, creating memories with family and friends, to navigating life’s unexpected twists—it’s been one hell of a journey so far! 🙌🏻

Turning 40 feels like the beginning of something new, and I can’t wait for the next chapter—more growth, more learning, and, most importantly, more joy with my amazing wife by my side

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of my story, whether you’ve been here since the start or just joined recently. Here’s to all the moments yet to come! 🎉 Let’s make this year one to remember!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me with Ragu’s training! I’m thrilled to hear how much progress she’s made and that you feel confident with her off-leash in the park—especially in NYC, that’s a huge step! Ragu was an absolute pleasure to work with, and it’s great knowing she’s thriving with the structure we put in place.

So glad to have her here for boarding with me, and I look forward to having her back soon! Thanks again for the wonderful review! Ragu is definitely part of the family here, and I appreciate your trust in me for her care.

One year ago today, I made the leap and moved to the USA. It’s been an intense journey, filled with the stress of immigration, running my business remotely, and waiting on government documents so I can finally return to Canada. But through all the challenges, there’s so much to be grateful for.

Getting married just a month after arriving and finally living with my wife has been incredible. After years of a long-distance relationship—constantly traveling back and forth between Calgary and New York—it’s such a relief to no longer have that stress. We’re building our life together in a new apartment, and it’s been amazing to focus on our future without the strain of distance.

Building a clientele for dog training and boarding here in New York has been a rewarding challenge. My first full New York winter was surprisingly mild, and this summer? Much longer and hotter than what I’m used to in Calgary! I miss my family, friends, and all the incredible clients and their dogs back home, but I’m grateful for the connections I’ve made here with other trainers in NY and NJ. Living just five minutes from the beach has been a dream, and the humid weather has been a game-changer for my skin and health—fewer migraines and no more cracked, bleeding skin.

This year has been a mix of ups and downs, but it’s also been full of growth and new experiences. Here’s to what’s next. 🗽🌊💚

Ragu has successfully completed her three-week Board and Train program, addressing all her initial training needs with wonderful results. During her stay, she learned the skill to be off-leash, allowing her to roam freely yet return when called. Her loose leash walking also showed amazing improvement, making walks more enjoyable, going from pulling at the end of the leash, to walking in a nice heel position. Additionally, Ragu’s behavior in public spaces has been tested, ensuring she remains calm and neutral around distractions. Also, creating new and improved boundaries when it comes to furniture privileges.

One of the most standout achievements was teaching her to distinguish between playtime and calm time, which has greatly benefited her ability to settle down and relax on command. Teaching the “place” command has been a game changer for her. These achievements collectively ensure that Ragu is even more well-behaved and reliable pet both at home and in various environments.

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!
