The Power of Choice 👌
Rudy has been experiencing some discomfort lately, so we've been giving him the option to join our group walks or hang out one-on-one with Dani. More and more, he's been choosing to stay behind. Could it be because he’s feeling sore and prefers not to be crowded in the car? Maybe.
This morning, instead of a group outing, Rudy chose snuggs, a backyard adventure where he set the pace, and a treat toss to wrap things up. He was one satisfied doggo. ❤️

✂️Nail trim for 5mo old Lulu this morning. 🐾✂️
🐾 Early nail trims and paw handling during puppyhood not only keep puppy's paws healthy, but also help build lifelong comfort with handling.
Need help with making puppy nail trims easy and stress-free? Reach out for puppy nail care socialization.
Lulu enjoyed a peanut butter lick mat post-nail trim today. 😋

🌟 Walk & Train Progress: Lolo 🌟
Yesterday’s walk-and-train session with Lolo was fantastic! Right now, our focus is on helping her build confidence through socialization and learning to stay calm around distractions. She’s making great progress, thanks to the dedication and consistency of her guardians. 🐕‍🦺
A big part of our approach is giving Lolo agency on walks. This means allowing her to sniff, calmly observe her surroundings, shred sticks, and engage in natural behaviors—all while distractions are present. These moments of enrichment not only make walks more enjoyable for Lolo but also help her learn to self-regulate in a variety of situations.
Our ultimate goal? For Lolo to notice distractions (like other dogs or exciting sights and sounds) and calmly accept them without reacting—whether that’s pulling to greet or getting overly excited. She’s already so close! 🐾
We’re also working on building her focus through attention exercises when distractions are nearby. This balance of exploration and connection teaches Lolo that the world is safe to experience as long as she relies on guidance from her handler/guardian.
Way to go, Lolo! 🎉 We’re so proud of your progress and can’t wait to see how much more you’ll achieve. ❤️

Would you help fill a bowl?

The dog food shelf in our pantry is looking a little bare. With an increase in demand for our Pet Food Pantry, we're running quite low on dog food.

If you're able to help out - you can drop off donations at the shelter or purchase through our Amazon wish list: https://shorturl.at/tu9ap

Lolo ❤️

Today was Lolo’s first ride in the dog mobile! At first, she was hesitant—so many new scents! But we took it slow, giving her time to sniff and explore at her own pace. We were surprised that she was comfortable enough to hop in after just a few minutes. We got Lo buckled up and off we went!
As we explored Shubie, Lolo took in every sight, smell, and sound. Her natural inquisitiveness added so much to our train and walk session. She’s really showing us how much she loves to take in the world around her.
Lolo is one smart cookie! She has worked hard with her pet guardians, and it shows. Lolo knows- wait, leave it, drop it, touch, and look with a 90% accuracy rate on our second walk. Way to go, Lolo and family!

Sensitive girlie, Delilah, is working on building confidence and learning to take up space. You can see in her body language that she's holding tension—her stiff, tentative stance and rigid tail tell us she's not yet fully at ease in this environment.
We take things slow on our walks, giving Delilah ample time to sniff and gather information. This process helps her gradually feel more at ease as we go along.

Canine Enrichment Idea #021 (inspired by our frens @custom.canine.care ) . COST 🦴 1/5 DIFFICULTY/CHALLENGE 🦴🦴 2/5 SET UP 🦴 1/5 . Pickle enjoyed a mid-walk enrichment session in the leaves today. When I noticed a dog Pickle isn’t particularly fond of approaching across the road, I quickly kicked through the leaves to check for any hidden hazards - (cannabis) roaches, cigarette butts, glass, etc... Once the area was clear, I scattered some treats and told Pickle to “FIND THEM.” Pickle was too busy snuffling to even notice the other dog passing by, and got to enjoy foraging for treats. 🐾🦴❤️ . #doglifestyle #dogswhowalk #professionaldogwalking #rplus #doggos #dogs #Dartmouth #coleharbour

Canine Enrichment Acitivity- . COST 🦴 1/5 DIFFICULTY 🦴🦴 2/5 SET UP 🦴 1/5 . Grab an old stuffed toy and tuck kibble and/or treats inside. Nestle smaller stuffies into the larger ones for layers of fun! . To make this more challenging, tie knots or add additional stuffing. This simple enrichment activity is wallet friendly and reuses toys that would otherwise head to the landfill. . Happy enrichment session! . #doglifestyle #canineenrichmentactivity #dogs #doggos #dartmouth #coleharbour #canineenrichment #enrichmentfordogs #dogcoach #doggos #doglife #dogmom #dogdad #dogpawrents #professionaldogwalker

It's more than ok to let them play with their food. In fact, it's highly encouraged. . Allowing dogs to forage for their food engages their natural instincts and provides them with mental stimulation which can reduce boredom and anxiety. . Follow us for more ideas on how to enrich your dog's life. 🐾 . #doglifestyle #foraging #foragingforfood #kibble #doglife #doggos #enrichment #canineenrichment #dogswhoeat #professionaldogwalker #canineenrichmentcoach #canine #dogs #doglife #902 #novascotia

Do you let your dog just be a dog? As humans in this crazy world, we sometimes forget that it's ok for dogs to be themselves. Dogs don't have to be these well-behaved robots every minute of every day. Give your dog some choices. Let them choose your walking route. Let them decide which toy they wish to play with. Let them sniff just a little bit longer. Slow down. There is no rush. #professionaldogwalker #canineharmony #canineenrichment #canineenrichmentcoach #dogs #dogpeople #dogmoms #dartmouth #novascotia #nsdogs #902 #doglossgrief #doggos #dogswhoplay #dogswhosniff #letthem

Giving your puppy simple puzzles encourages mental stimulation and helps develop problem-solving skills from an early age. These activities prevent boredom, promote cognitive growth, and teach the puppy to focus on tasks. Basic puzzles such as lick mats, Kongs, and snuffle mats help build confidence by providing a sense of accomplishment and can reduce destructive behaviours by directing their energy toward productive play. . Have you tried canine enrichment puzzles with your puppy? .

It's a good thing she's cute! #professionaldogwalking #Dartmouth #coleharbour #doglifestyle #lilthief

Let your dogs shred! Shredding can promote mental stimulation, decrease stress, and help reduce unwanted chewing/shredding. #canineenrichmentcoach #canineenrichment #enrichmentideasfordogs

Happiest 12th Birthday, Preston! 🎂🎉 . You are such a lovable, friendly, and goofy boy, and we feel so lucky to know and love you.

Let's play two truths and a lie. Can you guess which is the lie? 1) Pickle is a rescue dog 2) Pickle hates Timbits 3) Pickle loves walks with Dani #twotruthsandalie #dogedition #professionaldogwalker
