Hi friends! Quick update: I broke my ankle mid-April and have been healing pretty slowly so I've had to take a lot more time off than I expected. I am however finally coming back on June 10th!

Things are gonna change a bit for a while so I am temporarily (maybe) offering a new service!

Introducing: Private park off leash walks and day training!! Currently only available on Wednesdays.

Details: group off leash walks at a fenced, privately rented park. Walks will be 1.5-2 hours long and pricing includes the park rental and travel time. Dogs must be social with other dogs and calm in the car. $60/dog

I will also be offering a day train program for dogs who need some extra support on social skills and recall to join the smaller Wednesday group. Only taking 1-2 day train dogs at a time. Pricing includes park rental and travel time. $80/session.

Service areas for these new services are currently only in the millwoods and surrounding areas, Capilano and surrounding areas, and Sherwood Park.

If you're interested please send me a message or email [email protected] πŸ˜ŠπŸ’›

Why are Yikes! Dogs group dog walks best for your dog?
πŸ’›
We utilize seatbelts and separate areas/crates during travel!
πŸ’›
Why is this important?
πŸ’›
It makes for a safer and more comfortable ride for your pup! Group dog walks involve picking up multiple dogs and traveling to and from the park. For some dogs, the travel time can be quite long. We make sure each dog is safe and has a separate space if they need, which is one of the many ways Yikes! Dogs ensures that your dog has the best experience possible on every walk. We never have more than 4 large dogs in our cozy open space, we have two large kennels in the back for dogs who like their own space and even a safety-tested seatbelt in the passenger seat for those passenger prince(ss)s. This setup reduces stress, prevents tension between dogs and keeps your dog safe and secure!

Too-small muzzles can cause many issues including breathing issues, overheating, choking, stress, negative associations, increased reactivity due to uncomfortability, rubbing and bruising and so much more. Panting is a necessary function for a dog's well being and health. Dog's don't just need space to pant to regulate body temperature, they should also be able to drink water, eat food/treats, yawn, even vomit without choking. Too-big muzzles can be just as uncomfortable and increase risk of the dog pawing it off or injuring themselves. There are many great resources I can recommend if you're not sure the fit for your dogs muzzle.

makes custom-fit vinyl muzzles and is based in Ontario
muzzle.movement has different sizes of plastic cage muzzles and is based in the UK

Both ship worldwide and are working very hard to provide XL Bully guardians with well-fitted and comfortable muzzles.

Have you taken your dog to local dog daycares but they failed the assessment? Or maybe they've been going to daycare but seem stressed and overstimulated when you pick them up? Or maybe they've been going to daycare for a while, seemed to enjoy it, but have been causing trouble lately?
There could be many reasons for your dog to struggle with daycare. From someone who has worked in dog daycares for over 7 years, I know that they can be extremely overwhelming for most dogs. Spending a whole day in a group of unknown dogs is very unnatural for domestic dogs, and can be the cause of some reactivity or arousal issues from the constant stimulation and no proper rest. Dog daycare staff are also often not trained in dog behavior and many (actually most unfortunately) facilities commonly use punishment techniques (spray bottles, shaker cans, verbal and physical corrections) to control large groups. Thankfully we are blessed in Edmonton and do have a handful of enrichment based force free dog care facilities.
Yikes! Dogs group walks are FOR those social pups who have failed their daycare assessments by no fault of their own, or are struggling with the constant go-go-go of the daycare setting, but still need an outlet for their energy just with more room to move. We are the daycare alternative with smaller groups, consistent dogs every week, constant skill building.. each dog has the space and safety to reach their full potential. To build super strong bonds with each other, practice and strengthen off leash cues, communicate and move freely without being punished for being a dog. That's why we created our groups this way, to embrace every dog and meet them where they are. ✨️
