My name is Nicole Larsen, a professional dog trainer, serving Kamloops and surrounding areas. Teaching Humans, Training Dogs and Building Relationships.
(1)
Our goal is to find the best training solutions to help create strong relationships between you and your dog and make your life with your best friend the best possible. We offer the following services:
In Home Consultations
Private 1 on 1 Training – Life Skills and Behavior Modification
Group Classes – Basic Obedience, Puppy Classes, Loose Leash Walking, Recall, Puppy Socialization
Agility – Intro to Agility (Coach Nicole Larsen) and Starters (Coach Chris MacKay)
Come out and meet the three amigos!
Duke - super smart/affectionate
Goose - goofy and sweet
Rocky - playful and snuggly
These guys are ready to be your new best friend, running partner, agility team mate or a little couch potato!
At the end of every class, I say I will post my recipe for the graduation pupcakes. Well finally here it is.....Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pupcakes - homemade dog cupcakes made with peanut butter and pumpkin. How cute are these for a dog birthday party?!
And then there was three! These guys are still looking for their forever homes.
We have had these little guys for 6 weeks and it is time to pass on the torch so they can broaden their socialization and get accustomed to the sights, sounds, and routines of a household full-time. This allows them individual training time to learn basic manners and build confidence. It also helps the puppy develop trust and positive associations with new people, setting them up for a smoother transition into a permanent home. By fostering, you're giving a puppy the best start in life and freeing up shelter space for other animals in need.
If you are interested please see contact information below or contact me and I will pass along your information.
Congrats to our recent reliable recall graduates. Hope you guys all enjoy your summer with the added confidence, that your dog will enjoy some freedom because they have a reliable recall!

The Kamloops Humane Society is having a PUPPY ADOPTION EVENT !!!! These gorgeous PUPS will be available for viewing at: PETSMART 30-1395 Hillside Dr (near Chapters) Saturday, JULY 27 from 2 to 4:30 pm Vet check, spay/neuter, 1st vaccinates and tattoo/microchip included. All are cuddly, playful and a...
Off to the Vet today to get immunized. We had a couple of accidents 💩 on the way but they got in their crates nicely and did really well with their exams. All good heart rates, everyone had the right amount of ⚾️🥎, and all tolerated the temperature taking and a little 💉. The end result is a pile of puppies sleeping. Hard to tell there is ten snuggled up together. They needed a little extra comfort after their big day!
Okay fine one more! I almost got all ten.
Dinner time!!! They are going to be able to break the gate down soon. They might be part kangaroo as they were using a raised platform that was too close to the gates to launch off of one another to escape the other day. They might be getting smarter than us! 🐾😳
Who wants more puppy pics! Trying to get these guys to experience new things. Vacuum cleaner went over very well. We expose them to lots of different noises. Everyone seems to do pretty good. We put in a raised bed tonight and I think they view it as a snack rather than a comfortable place to sleep, these guys will be eight weeks next Sunday. If any of them catch your eye and you want to know more about them drop me an email at nic@ beyondtheleashk9.ca.
Pools are better upside down with no water according to this pile of puppies. I can not believe how fast these little land sharks are growing.
Puppy Love Overload!
We did a thing…… We have opened up our home to Dixie and her 10 yes I said 10 puppies. We got them a week ago and are just coming up for air now. These 5-week-old puppies are Lab, Australian Shepherd, Heeler, mixes ( and maybe a little bit of something else)....also known as a Heinz 57. I think maybe some hound or boxer. We will see as they start to get bigger.
It's been some time since I looked after puppies so we're learning as we go. I have to admit it's probably more work than I thought it was going to be however getting to watch these little puppies thrive, learn and explore has been a lot of fun for myself, Troy, Erik and Ryan. My 2 boys might not agree with that statement as they are in the trenches with us cleaning up after these little mess makers. Watching their little personalities develop is quite interesting to watch. "Haly"pino has earned her name as she is quite spicy and well Goose should have been called Moose...he a big ole boy! Wally is short for Walter as he is a little old man...the first to go to sleep all the time. The Mom gets along well with Mya and the cat so that has been nice as it makes it easier for us to cohabitate. The cat is quite happy to get the scraps after the puppies have finished.
Things I have learned in the last week
- Puppies have very bad aim when it comes to a p*e pad.
- Their bladders are the size of a small toddler
- I am a mad scientist in the kitchen with food concoctions to play catch up on their nutrition.
- They have extremely strong upper body strength when it comes to getting over barriers.
- Never lie down on the ground with 10 puppies…. I may have a new ear piercing from the needle-like teeth.
- Trying to get pictures of 5 week old puppies is like herding cats!
- People are so generous with their time….I have picked a lot of brains this week to get up to sp*ed on how to look after this group of Ten little needle-teethed land sharks. SSoletree Poodles NNicole Langlands-Kotnik- The Humane Society is an amazing organization getting these little ones to me and supporting them while they are here.
Stay tuned for more updates and adorable photos of “The Ten”.
These little ones and the mom will be up for adoption at 8 weeks old. You will need to apply to the Kamloops Humane Society if you are interested in adopting one of these little cuties.

The other side of dog training…..clearing snow from your training centres parking lot! Thank god for snow blowers!!! And husbands 😀 ( to add some more clarity. The house next door is condemned by the city and I have permission to use it)
First private client in the new building. Love the pitter patter of her fast little feet on the new flooring. Great recall work with Daisy!
K9 Sports Weekend Day1. Tracking class.
Blue and her mom working on pattern games so we can creat some predictable actions that Blue can rely on when faced with an unpredictable world in her eyes. Next step when the weather is warmer, take our pattern games out into the real world. (This is just one example of what we have been working on with Blue)
So here a real life moment for Mya and myself (not a planned training moment). Here is her first exposure to chickens. She did amazing! But you can see by her panting this was ALOT of work for her. If I were my client I would point out that it was great to speak clear and consise. I gave her a cue and although she didn’t look right away I gave her a chance to make a choice to look. I gave it one more time and she looked. At that point I was A bit more exciting than the chicken 🐓 but not much lol. I will say that I was probably a little bit too wordy and should’ve just give one marker word it didn’t need to be a yes and good. Off camera she got a play as a reward for coming with me as well. I should mention she was on a long line but there was actually no tension and she made those choices herself. We have worked a lot on our leave it in our home and it sure is paid off real world. And just to be clear she would’ve loved to chase those chickens and made new feathered friends.
Building up excitement for the tug during the fly ball lesson at K9 Sports Weekend.
Fly ball!! 🎾 I loved watching this Demo that was part of the Intro class! Shana and Cam did an amazing job putting on this class. Lots of work and dedication go into this sport and ear plugs lots of ear plugs. LOL.
What a fantastic weekend! Our inaugural K9 Sports Weekend was a huge success. I unfortunately was unable to post over the weekend so be prepared for a big photo dump. Could not have pulled this off without my partners in crime Arleigh from k9 Fun N Games and Rhonda. Thanks to everyone that came out and braved the weather conditions and tried something new with their dogs! Already planning for 2023!
K9 Sports weekend is here! Lots of hard work and planning goes into action tomorrow morning as we start with Intro to Nose work!
Playing a game of Hide and Sneek with Clover. Makes for a fast recall when your dog is looking for you!
I saw this picture and couldn’t help but think she was wishing really hard for her mom to say “Take it”.
