To those who want to read the whole denial decision, here you go. It's a lot of information just to say no.

12/05/2023

Hello to our followers, we so appreciate the support you have given us.

Unfortunately, HRM has DENIED our appeal. We will not be able to open our business at this location. We are very disappointed as we know this is so needed in our community. We will figure out something C2 “as of right development” for this property. Plan B, C and D are just around the corner 😀

Happy Halloween from our Resident puppers! Tessa 🎃 and Ruby 🦞! They approve of the work happening on the fences! 👻🧙

@ Everyone we are forging ahead, despite no word from HRM. 😬 The fences in the lower yard are going in! The front is done. The back should be done early next week, and the side will be done within a week or so. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🐶♥️

Good morning, update post hearing. It sure was an interesting experience. I’m confident that I did my best and got my point across to the Board member Julia Clarke who will make the decision. Now she has 60 days to make her decision. This waiting will be painful! 🤞🏻🐶💜

“Sit, Stay, Good Dog, Canine Academy”
This business is the endeavor of the land owner Krista Jansen (and co-owner husband Tommy Maillet) and dog trainer Chelsea Neville. Chelsea will be closing her existing business “Refined Canines” in Waverley and moving to this new location in partnership with Krista. Chelsea’s current location no longer is suitable to deal with the increasing demand for dog training. It is a small rented space in a house on a residential street, which is limiting her ability to serve more people and dogs. Refined Canines is the only recognized official “dog training” solution in this area.
Chelsea is an excellent well-regarded trainer with years of experience. At Sit, Stay, Good Dog our members start their journey a full assessment. Chelsea prescribes different models and levels of training dependent on the owner and dogs’ situation. Her model includes 1:1 training with dogs and their owners. “Boot camp or stay and train,” where dogs come daily for training with Chelsea for a prescribed period of time. The owners frequently attend as well. Boot Camp, differs by dog and depends on how quickly the owners and dog can learn the new ways of communicating and behaving. After boot camp, owners often need a structured situation for their dogs to continue to exist with the new communication skills they have learned with Chelsea. Dogs who have graduated from “boot-camp” often attend ongoing small group dog training. This can be 1 – 5 days per week dependent on the dog and owner’s needs. Dogs who work with Chelsea learn how to be good dogs. This is basically school for dogs, working with a trainer daily. This is not a dog daycare, like some of the nearest dog daycares. Those places have very large groups of dogs (50 + dogs) often with one person. There is not structure or training. They are the opposite of the business we are proposing. You will never find a group of dogs unattended at Chelsea’s. You will never drive or walk up to a group of barking dogs. Chelsea has never had a “noise complaint” filed against her. Her neighbors have never complained to her about noise of barking dogs.
We would like to be able to offer our members basic grooming like nail trims, baths and blow outs as a secondary service for them. We would also like to offer some associated retail as a convenience for our members.
Waverly, Fall River, Wellington has no area that is safe for dogs to be off leash. This property has a very large unused upper lot. We propose that we would fence in this lot and allow our members use of the area for off leash activities with their pets. Dog owners must travel far distances to be able to access anything like this, this would be an incredible service for our members. (Tessa and. Lexi up in the top yard exploring!)

The introduction of our position with HRM:

“Sit, Stay, Good Dog, Canine Academy” is a new business proposed at 3650 Hwy 2 Fletchers Lake. This business would be in an existing home on a C2 = community commercial property. This property is in District 14/17, and has a municipal planning strategy and land use by law which were most recently amended in November 2022. We contend that when denying our proposed business development application, the development officer Andrew Faulkner failed to consider all aspects of the Municipal Planning strategy which apply to this property. This proposed business perfectly reflects the spirit of the municipal planning strategy to have community-based services for our residents provided along the main street of this developing area. He further failed to recognize that “dog training” is a personal professional service which is listed as an approved commercial use for a C2 property in this district. The following is the defense of our position. (Lola checking out the restored pond! )

If you are new to our page here’s a bit about us. We are working hard to open a business at 3650 Hwy 2 which will serve dog owners and their dogs. This is focused around dog training. We will have many options for your needs and will find the best solution for your pup. From 1:1 training, boot camps, and small group play and train situations, we’ve got you covered. We have a hearing with HRM on Oct 5. If you would like to help, it’s as simple as sending an email in support of this proposed business. Email [email protected] mention matter # M11243. Thank you!

We’ve been watching the grass grow so the dogs haven’t been able to explore the rejuvinated pond and landscaping! Tessa and her new friend Duke loved it today! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻♥️♥️♥️

Before and after! Fences will be installed hopefully within the next 2 weeks!
