Summer is almost over! 😮 I am currently creating a family and kids obedience program which I will be implementing this fall! With an extensive background in education and experience working one on one with children and families, I thought what a great opportunity it would be to combine my passions. I want to help create a bond with children and their pets, so what better way than to teach them how to personally implement obedience to their furry loved one ☺️ Stay tuned…lots to come!

Is your dog getting enough mental and physical stimulation? That’s the first question any trainer will ask you. The answer, more often than not, is no. Different breeds require more physical exertion so I urge you to research your breeds to ensure they can match your lifestyle and what you can offer. It can make all the difference in behaviour modification and overall health and wellness.

🐾 Welcome to the pack! 🐾 This is Penny and would you look at that face?!?! I’m in love…again! She is a six month old Doodle and we will be working on her leash behaviour. She exhibits lots of jumping, pulling and is an escape artist! She manages to get out of her crate and is chewing. First things first, as any trainer will say, let’s get her physically and mentally stimulated and utilize all that Doodle energy! Stay tuned for Penny’s progress 😊

Welcome to the pack! 🐾 This is Linus, a 2 year old Golden Doodle and he is amazing! We’ll be working on his leash behaviour as he tends to bite at the leash and just wants to play instead of walk 🤭 LOOK AT THAT FACE!! 🫠

First time trying the down cue with Zeus. We’ll get there. Remember consistency and patience is key. If they aren’t getting it, try again after some time has passed. For walk and trains I spend part of the training hour walking them to engage them in other distractions between cues. Remember dogs only stay engaged for minimal periods of time so keep each training cue short. Trying a high value treat or reward can also help.

🦷 TEEF !!! 🦷 Zeus is back in the pack! Oh how we have missed you!

Zeus has a tendency to stop in his tracks and lie to the ground when another dog approaches. He immediately goes into a submissive mode, even when they are far away. It makes walks with his owner challenging. This is a great opportunity to get back to the basics - the focus cue, to start. Once the dog becomes visible reward him when he directs his attention to me.

Freezing can sometimes be a calming signal/action to other dogs. I wouldnt pull him away from the other dog, (which he can actually take as a sign he needs to defend himself). Instead try and distract him with treats, a toy, or a happy voice so he can walk away on his own. Remember, dogs learn through association. If they can associate another dog with praise and positivity, they are more likely to learn to adapt their behaviour.

But on a serious note 🚨 The weather is starting to get hot here Calgarians…please take appropriate measures for your pets! If the ground is too hot for your bare feet - it is too for their paws! Walks in the morning or early evening keep them at a moderate temperature and always have water with you to keep them hydrated 💦 It’s going to be a great summer! ☀️

🐾 Welcome Beaver to the pack!

With this big boy our primary goal will be the heel cue. He is great at focus, recall and charming with all humans and other dogs. He struggles with predictability when distractions are present and, due to his size, this can become a safety issue for the walker. 🐾

Meet Golden. An 18 year old gem that I have been working with for his mild separation anxiety. Some common signs of this can include: urinating and defecating, barking and howling, chewing, digging, escaping and pacing.

Counter-conditioning can be an effective way to address mild anxiety. To do so you need to associate the situation with something positive, something the dog loves. Over time the dog learns the fear can actually predict good things (i.e. high value treat or food they love). Try a puzzle treat with food inside that can keep the dog occupied for 20-30 minutes.

For moderate to severe anxiety, it will require a more complex desensitization and counter-conditioning program. It can start with many short separations, pre departure rituals and graduated absences.

For more information on training for this magnitude, visit my website to book an appointment or DM me!

I’m just so sad to say we’ve lost one of the best dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of loving. Kraut was the kindest, most gentle soul. A beautiful rescue greyhound that lived the rest of his amazing life in the vineyards with his family - who loved him more than I can say. Rest well, angel.

Allow me to reintroduce myself to the residents of Calgary…

I’m Natalie Di Matteo, Owner and Operator of From Dusk Till Dawg pet services, and a dedicated enthusiast of the pet community.

After a lengthy career working in the education sector, I began a position of Director, overseeing management, staff and students in the daycare field. But something was missing…the happiness I was seeking only was felt within the proximity of dogs!

It was then I decided to change my career path and focus on my genuine love for animals. That path led be to take care of a variety of companions - including dogs, cats, horses and even farm animals!

I am currently a certified Obedience Trainer from the Animal Behaviour College and will be offering Puppy Classes, Walk & Train and Hiking Excursions throughout Calgary and Rocky View County.

But that’s just the beginning, Calgary. Stay tuned for more expansions through Calgarys Northwest as I search for the perfect place to open my long time goal of a multi- service facility that will also include daycare and boarding 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Feel free to contact me with any questions and we can’t wait to meet our new community of pet lovers and canine devotees! 🐾
