THE PERFECT FIT. 🧩

After our clients said goodbye to their dog, (Rest easy WILLOW 💜) they got word that there was a rescue pup who would be a great fit for their family and boy were they right!

BARRETT is an absolutely gorg 1 year old with a great temperament to boot. Considering his lack of any training in his past, he has proved to be such a great dog who's eager to learn.

He continues to make progress through private sessions, where his family is putting in the work to help him become the best version of himself 🙌 Next on the agenda, properly introducing the dog wash! 🛁

Are you looking for a new puppy? Maybe someone you know is?

Meet FRANKLIN! 🩷

This little 4 month old girl is looking for a place to call home!

Location: Ontario, Barrie
Meet Franklin aka Frankie !

I am a 4 months sweet girl with a lot to say.
I LOVE to follow my nose, I track birds in the sky and can follow to the ground - yes I will retrieve for you.I don't scare even when in loud environments nor do I get distracted from the track.
Food ? Yes please - very motivated and show that with being loud
I love to be around people but I don't want to be in your lap or on top of you. I'm happy chewing a bone or toy on the bed or floor while you do your thing.
My foster mom says I like to talk back – and I am loud so best not suited for close or attached neighbours.
My leash skills are coming along but he warned I'm not for the faint at heart, I do well with structure and love for routines. A crate is a must for this gal.
If my needs are met I am a gem and will chill in the most hectic of environments.

Thank you Fur Warriors for your collaboration with this girl

S*x : Female
DOB: Dec 24, 2024

KING HOMER. 👑

At least, that's what he thought he was. HOMER was quick to use his mouth to make people do what he wanted. He knew how to control the narrative - tantrums galore.

We helped his family learn how to handle his antics and put a stop to his rude protesting. It was great to see his progress throughout his 5 Session Package but it was even better to see his humans!

Watching their confidence grow session after session is why we do what we do. Sure, we teach the dog but more importantly, we teach the human. The dog is the "easy part".

Making sure the human is successful, understands how to apply what we lay out and finds confidence in their application is the most important piece of the puzzle.

Way to go HOMER & fam 👏 Keep up the amazing work!

Does we have tracking or scent detection people here ? Franklin would love to be adopted by someone who will work her nose ! At 4 months , it's a good time to start learning.

Her profile is on our website:

Avons-nous des personnes qui aime le pistage ou de la détection d'odeurs ici ? Franklin adorerait être adoptée par quelqu'un qui lui fera travailler le nez ! A 4 mois, c'est le bon moment pour commencer à apprendre.

WHIN'D'ING UP.

Some dogs have a hard time regulating themselves when they go to new places. At home all is well but once you switch up the environment, especially to somewhere they've never been before, chaos ensues.

Whining, pacing, barking - all out scatter brained. Whether it's anxiety, fear, over excitement, there's a way to make things better.

A lot of the time, people's first instinct is to comfort the dog and let them know that everything is okay. Intended as help, this will often have the opposite effect and create an even bigger ball of stress.

By talking, petting, picking up, etc. this reinforces the unwanted behaviours and communicates to the dog that we want them to continue - afterall, they get your attention, right?

If you're struggling with a dog who can't seem to self-regulate when faced with new situations, reach out to us! We'd love to help.

LUNA has been making progress through our one on one private sessions and is on her way to becoming the dog her family gets to see inside the home, outside of it.

We love taking advantage of our forest for fun off leash walks and exploration! This crew fully enjoyed themselves and soaked up all the sunshine along the way 🌞
