You may have been seeing this fella on my stories. Meet Remy

This little guy has come in to live with me for a few months until he finds some balance and confidence. Remy’s owner has lovingly placed him with me as her living situation is just not working with Remy and his extreme fear anxiety.

Remy is a severe case.

Even after working with Remy his behaviour caused by his debilitating fear has made finding any balance impossible in the busy bustle of Kelowna.
With the help of my pack and an ability to control his environment and my rural setting, we will be able to help this little fella build up and start to enjoy life.

I hope you enjoy watching his time with us and as he learns a better way.

Let’s talk about Resource Guarding

Resource guarding between dogsoccurs when a dog becomes possessive over an item, such as a toy, and displays aggressive or defensive behavior towards other dogs who approach it. It's essential for the owners and handlers to understand this behavior and take appropriate steps to ensure a peaceful and safe environment, and to try and catch this and control it before it gets out of hand.

Here are a few tips to help manage dog-to-dog resource guarding when it comes to toys:

1️⃣ Supervision is key: Always keep an eye on your dogs when they're playing with toys together. This way, you can intervene if any guarding behavior arises and prevent potential conflicts.

2️⃣ Teach the "Drop It" command: Train your dogs to willingly give up toys when asked. This command helps establish a positive association with sharing and reduces the likelihood of resource guarding.

3️⃣Seek professional help if needed: If resource guarding behavior persists or escalates, it's crucial to consult a professional dog trainer or behaviorist. They can provide personalized guidance and help address the issue effectively.

Several months ago we teamed up with Laura from Polite Paws to for the Love of Jackie Chan Program designed to provide low barrier resources to dog training for dogs with behavioral issues in memory of her beloved rescue Jackie Chan. The money collected through this program is saved up and used to sponsor board and train programs for families in need. So far we have collected $400 which we plan to use towards our newest recipient, Onyx.

If you need help, please apply below, there are limited spots and there can be a waiting period. If you would like to make a donation to this program, we can offer you tax receipts and promise you that you will make a difference for a family and their beloved canine friend.
