🐾 Meet Mojo, Cruise & Their Matriarch Skyler 🌼
These two pocket bully brothers are full of charm—and full of energy! Sweet as can be, but like any pair of siblings, Mojo and Cruise aren’t above the occasional row. Add in some high prey drive and moderate reactivity, and their dog moms knew it was time for structure.

Enter Skyler, the wise older matriarch of the house. She’s not related, but she’s definitely the boss—and she’s watching the boys’ progress closely. 👀

We’re working with this crew to build closed-loop communication, applying the right corrections at the right time, and helping everyone understand what’s expected.

💥 BONUS: the brothers are now rocking treadmill workouts—because when the humans train, the dogs train too. This is what team effort looks like!

🚨NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: LT Scent Imprint Kit 🇨🇦

You asked. We delivered.
Introducing the Lieutenant Officer Scented Getxent Tubes — a game-changer in lost officer recovery.

Now your K9s can be imprinted on a revolutionary scent profile including:
• The unmistakable smell of fear, desperation, and unearned overconfidence
• Two-week-old unwashed gitch (issue boxers only)
• A generous spritz of CLP
• And a trace of “I definitely know where we are” — despite clear evidence to the contrary

Perfect for tracking your favourite lost LT as they confidently lead a platoon 3km in the wrong direction on a “short nav ex.”

We’re proud to be the first provider of this highly specialized scent kit, created exclusively for Canadian Armed Forces bases.

Coming soon: The American Lost LT Scent Kit
Now with:
• Unbridled patriotism
• Overwhelming truck debt
• And the palpable stress of three dependents before the age of 22

Never lose an LT again. Or do. At least now your dog can find them.
