Happy International Dog Day! Post a pic of your canine pal below! 👇

Herra made it to her new home! 🍑 We can’t wait to watch her flourish in her new job. That handler is a lucky guy - she’s a phenomenal dog & we miss her so much already.

Selling dogs can be difficult. You build these bonds, through the training process, but the feeling of seeing them thrive is worth it. It’s been great watching all the dogs we’ve sold to departments kick some butt in keeping their communities safe!

Congrats to Velo & Jess on getting their Master title in Dock diving this weekend!

This crazy team went dock diving twice before attempting to compete. Velo LOVES this and she launches! 🚀

They are currently waiting for the Masters Final jump and going to try for Elite tomorrow. 😍

Sometimes we forget about what our dogs need and focus on what we want from them. We cheap out on things like training, not realizing how those decisions impact our dogs.

If your dog is scared of everything, but you decide not to train them, is that fair? Can you imagine living your life feeling like that?

Training not only enhances your experience with your dog, but it allows them to be their most confident, and happy selves!

Now that our first Calgary Trainer School has come and gone, we were really able to enjoy training all over the city. Whether it was obedience, or tracking… we are just amazed at this wonderful city.

If you’re looking at getting some dog training done, we have some spots left for Fall/Winter 2024. We would love to meet you and your dog, and show you why our programs are one of a kind!

We are hiring at our Calgary location!

Things are getting busy and we are looking for a new member to add to the team. We want someone that is comfortable around dogs, dedicated and willing to work hard/have good work ethic. This position will start off with kennel tech shifts (mornings/evenings/weekends).

If you’re interested, please send your resume to [email protected].

Board & Train 🐕

We’ve been busy helping many people build better relationships with their dogs this summer! Arsenal Canine Academy has some spots open for Fall/Winter Board & Trains at our new facility in NE Calgary (2 min off of Deerfoot).

If you’ve been looking to get your dog into a training program, and looking for a team that we will help you achieve your goals… give us a call or a text!

The biggest thing we see with a lot of our inquiries, is lacking proper communication with their dog. It feels like you’re both on different planets, and it can be stressful for the both of you.

Our goal is to help get you and your dog on the same page. That way you can enjoy life together and do the things you’ve been dreaming to together (hikes, the lake, river, patio, you name it!).

Our Puppy Day School has been a hit in Calgary! 🐕

Imagine - the perks of dog daycare, but instead of it being a free-for-all, your puppy gets to learn new skills, work multiple times with a trainer and build their confidence!

Pick up times: 4:30 - 5:30 pm

For puppies under 6 months of age.

Consistency isn’t easy, but it separates those that achieve ok results and great results.

We’ve completed the two weeks portion of a tracking trainer school, and it was honestly such a blast watching the trainers & the dogs progress so much! From Chihuahuas to Malinois’, everyone was learning.

07/28/2024

We might get some hate for this but… your dog isn’t your baby.

BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t love up on them! A lot of time if you spoil a dog before setting good boundaries and expectations, you can cause more problems and stress for them in the long run. They aren’t wired like humans, and they don’t have reasoning like humans do.

So remember, show love like how dogs know love! ❤️

07/27/2024

We don’t train our dogs so that we can demonstrate it in the kitchen, but nowhere else.

We need to ensure your dog has “real life” results, so that you’ll able to accomplish new adventures with your canine partner!

If you’re struggling to have your dog out and about - reach out! Let us help you add more memories on your phone with your dog!

Building confidence in your dog is crucial for their well-being, and it's our responsibility as owners to help them thrive. Confident dogs are happier, less anxious, and better equipped to handle new situations and challenges. By providing consistent training and a loving environment, we can empower our dogs to be their best selves.

This is your daily reminder! What have you done today to get closer to your goals?

07/24/2024

We often focus on what our dog needs to do better, forgetting that 90% of the time, the problem lies with us as the owner.

And that’s ok! We just have to take accountability for that and do what we can to build that stronger bond with our dog. 🐕

It’s been great watching our students turn in to instructors over the years. 4 years of our Trainer School programs have allowed us to make great connections with other dog trainers and work towards building a non-toxic community. A community that allows for learning, growing and problem solving with dogs.

07/22/2024

We are so excited to announce we have a new trainer on the team in Calgary!

Lyanne was a former client, that tried every method and a bunch of trainers to help her reactive dog. She luckily found us, and ended up being so aligned with the program, we linked up and here we are months later with her completing our 6 week Trainer School. She has a background working in the veterinary field and she’s ready to help more people enjoy their dog!

Give Lyanne a warm welcome. 🤗

Zoey just graduated our Boarding Rover program in Calgary, and she’s killing it! She’s walking nicely, focused and it just adds to how much of a joy she is!

Day one of Tracking School was a blast! 💥 can’t wait to see how the handlers and dogs develop.

Interested in an Arsenal Canine Academy trainer school? We will be hosting another one in September 2024. DM for details.

We have completed our two week Intro to Obedience course in Calgary! It’s great watching the students excel and grow, even in just a short two weeks. We are so fortunate to be able to build a strong community of dog professionals.

Now we are onto tracking 🐕😍

Just because you aren’t where you want to be, doesn’t mean you won’t get there. ❤️

We are loving our new facility in Calgary, especially keeping out of that crazy heat! Happy dogs, happy owners and happy trainers! 🔥

Did you know that if you struggle with training your dog, you have an even stronger capability to bond with your dog if you pursue appropriate training? Since you are in a deficit, you can learn how to properly communicate with your dog, and your dog with you. You can start spending quality time, and achieve goals together! Yours and your dogs feel good emotions will be thriving, if you decide to take that opportunity. ❤️
