Auntie Jessie is thrilled to share that we placed Silver in Georgetown’s Community Votes Dog Training category!

Small businesses thrive because of the communities that support us. With my whole heart, thank you to everyone who has and continues to support Auntie Jessie’s Dog Training.

On a personal note, I’m honoured to follow in my grandparents’ entrepreneurial footsteps. They ran a plumbing and heating business in Georgetown for 33 years until their retirement. Auntie Jessie’s has been going strong since December 2018 and I hope to continue helping dogs and their families find harmony for many years to come.

Today is Giving Tuesday. George and I wanted to share why ANML RESQ Network of Ontario should be considered. ANML-RESQ’s mission is to save dogs at risk of being euthanized in shelters.

For those who don’t know George’s story: he was abandoned outside the Glen Williams and Georgetown area, roaming between the communities for almost two weeks. When he was finally found, he was in full survival mode—severely underweight, with sores on his paws and all over his body.

George spent six weeks in the care of Omega Canine Services. Despite everyone’s best efforts, no foster homes were available. Foster spaces are limited, and many rescues are stretched to capacity both financially and physically.

ANML-RESQ stepped up and welcomed both George and me into their program. They sent food, toys and treats right to my door. They’ve supported George’s medical care as we work through his ongoing inflammation issues. We’re currently on our third type of food, and so far, George seems to be doing well.
We are truly grateful for ANML-RESQ.

Thank you for considering them on this day of giving. If you are willing and able to donate, please visit ANML-RESQ's website to learn more.

Auntie Jessie's extended family grew handsome bullies today. Louie & Rocco are as sweet as they are adorable. I've been told they are both goofballs and Rocco is a mama's boy. We had our first day training session and enjoyed learning about each other.

Louie is a happy go lucky fellow who loves everyone. Louie has excellent leash manners, our focus was: the name game, wait at crosswalks, handler engagement and slow directional changes. Louie did an excellent job and was happy to walk with Auntie Jessie.

Rocco is a sweetheart who loves his mom. He was comfortable walking away from the front door. He was not thrilled about leaving his driveway so that is where we started. We worked on some training exercises and when Rocco was ready, we slowly made our way around the neighborhood. Part way through our session, Rocco felt comfortable to sniff, read his news and walk ahead.

I am SO excited for our next session.

Happy Friday!

To my valued clients: thank you for sharing your pets with me. It is a privilege to work with, love, and care for them.

Mr. Tony has been a member of Auntie Jessie’s extended family since November 2021. He was a fluffy little puppy when we first met, and of course my heart immediately turned to goo. We started with puppy visits, graduated to neighbourhood walks and eventually Tony joined our group sniffari adventures.

Tony loves to mosey. He delights in “trail mail” and takes his time thoroughly sniff-specting everything he can. He’ll start at the base of a shrub and slowly work his way up until his nose can’t reach any higher. I’ve watched him delicately sniff flowers, tree buds, and even a snail.

I am grateful for every moment I get to spend with him. It’s clear he enjoys our time together just as much. While he loves our neighbourhood walks, his absolute favourite activity is Auntie Jessie’s group sniffari walks. With 30 feet of long line, he gets to explore his environment and interact with his canine friends. When the zoomies strike, Auntie Jessie has to be quick with the long-line untangling—but it’s always worth it to see how much fun they have.

Someone's adorable puppy has just experienced his first sniffari with Auntie Jessie and he LOVED it! Oakley scampered, hopped, raced and snuffled through the snow & leaves. All the while he was paid for good choices and behaviours I want to see more of..

During the hour session we worked on:
🐾The Name Game- this helps get Oakley's attention.

🐾 The Magic Circle Game- This exercise allows Oakley to associate walking near me to predict good things. It helps encourage loose leash walking without expecting it.

🐾 Generalizing Oakley's sit on a verbal cue in a new environment. Dogs are terrible at generalizing cues. What they learn and perform reliably in one location may not be so reliable in another.

🐾 Greetings - keeping all four paws on the floor when making new friends.

🐾 Nice Trail Manners- when on public trails training dogs, I am slower and always give way to those who want to pass. Oakley is learning recall to me and sit beside me and wait for people to pass.

Happy Snow day from George!

This is our first snow fall together and I am not sure who was more excited. Luck was on our side today as George and Astro enjoyed an empty dog park. The boys zoomed around and wrestled for almost 20 minutes.

We are building George's recall and working on appropriate play. He is not a candidate for interacting with dogs I do not know. We only use public parks when they are empty and always leave when others arrive.

After the bark park trip, we enjoyed a snowy sniffari at Limehouse Conservation Area! The humans enjoyed the beauty and the sound of silence a fresh snowfall offers. The dogs enjoyed their trail mail. George showed excellent manners when another trail user passed us.

George sat patiently beside me while I chatted with our new acquaintance. I learned about the man's bully mix who lived to be 17! How amazing is that!

Until next time,
🐾Auntie Jessie & George

Cooperative care is about teaching pets to feel safe and have a choice to participate. It is not limited to dogs. If a tiger can be taught to cooperate in their care. So can your pets!

Leo and I met in April earlier this year. The presenting concerns were stranger danger, reactivity on leash and sensitive about body handling. His guardians have a special protocol they go through when introducing him to strangers. They wanted Leo to feel safe with Auntie Jessie and understood he needed time.

Leo's behaviour set the pace of our behaviour modification plan. His comfort and autonomy was respected throughout this process. Auntie Jessie earned his trust with patience, consistency, respect and classical conditioning exercises.

Leo has reached two huge milestone in his cooperative care plan. He allowed his harness to be put on which allowed us expand his training on walks. A few days ago, Leo allowed his sweater to be put on! We celebrated with a happy dances, tasty snacks and a nice sidewalk sniffari.

Miss Dixie has reached milestones of her own in terms of energy. She thoroughly enjoys her 30 minute sidewalk sniffari walks. Her guardians say she has more pep in her step and has started to run more since they hired Auntie Jessie. 💗🎊

Wishing everyone a happy wednesday.

Happy Howl-O-Ween from the cutest sunflower I have ever seen. 😍

Please note, dogs are individuals and have varying levels of comfort with costumes. Many do not like costumes at all. George and I have taken several weeks to introduce him to this costume. Prioritizing his feelings of safety, comfort and autonomy. With a shake of his head, this sunflower will come right off.

Happy Birthday to my favourite pumpkin, Pluto. It's hard to believe this is the same pumpkin I brought home to foster just before Christmas in 2023. Now he's two and doing a great job helping those who need him most.

Happy Sunday from gorgeous George.
He's definitely enjoying these fall sniffari adventures. So far he's been through Hungry Hollow, Limehouse & Mount Nemo Conservation Area.

Today we enjoyed nature's confetti on the Bruce Trail from Scotsdale Farm to Silver Creek Conservation Area and back. We met friendly people, respectful dog guardians and a few cyclists. George did not react to anyone.

The most impressive moment, George held his sit while a group people with off leash dogs passed us. A huge accomplishment because they showed interest in George before they recalled to their guardians and George really wanted to play with them. There was no shrieking or crying. 🎉

We hope you have had a lovely weekend. I am excited to spend time with your pets this week.

Until next time,
🐾Auntie Jessie and George.

Wishing everyone a happy weekend from Queen Paris & Princess Bella. If you haven't been following Auntie Jessie's stories, you may not have learned Bella and I gave worked through her harness aversion.

Miss Bella is not just comfortable, she is eager to put on her harness and excited for her neighborhood sniffari. Big sister Paris joins us on our training exercises because she helps Bella feel safe and gives Bella the security to enjoy her walk.

Over the last few weeks Miss Bella and I have worked a lot on loose leash walking, engagement with handler and feeling safe without big sister Paris joining us. I am thrilled with the progress Bella has made and looking forward to her confidence grow.

Auntie Jessie's alumni Team Rory & Team KC are hard at work helping students at school. The job of a Therapy dog team is an important one. They spread love, inspire joy and instill peace.

The journey from pet dog to therapy dog team takes time, practice and consistency. Auntie Jessie's Therapy Dog Prep course is designed to teach both humans and their dogs skills they can rely on. Humans learn how to be handlers while their dogs learn new behaviours essential for Therapy dog work.
