🎄✨ Festive Creations from Structured Daycare ✨🐾

We had so much fun creating these special keepsakes for our amazing Structured Daycare clients. Each ornament is a little piece of your dog’s unique personality & a reminder of how much we adore having them in our program.

Thank you for trusting us with your incredible pups & for being part of the Passionate Paws family. We’re so grateful for every one of you & your dogs! ❤️

These are just a few of them, if we missed taking a photo of your dog's Paw Print Ornament, post in the comments 🥰

12/21/2024

🎄✨ Last weekend was full of paw-some holiday cheer at our Paw-liday Christmas Event! We had Christmas photos, nail trims & did paw print ornaments. The festive vibes, wagging tails, & happy faces made it such a great day. We’re so grateful to have spent it with all of you & your amazing doggos!

A HUGE shoutout to Alanna for capturing the magic with these incredible photos! 🐾📸

Thank you to everyone who joined us to spread the joy of the season. We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at Passionate Paws! 🎅🎁🐶

🌟 SLIP LEADS & LONG LINES 🌟

Is walking your dog a struggle because they pull, lunge, or you feel like you’re completely out of control? These tools can make a world of difference! (Along with some training, of course).

👉 DID YOU KNOW? 👈
Slip leads can be used in TWO effective ways:

1️⃣ Transitional Slip Lead: For strong pullers, loop it over your dog’s head, make a figure 8, & place it over their nose. This gently redirects your dog's movement, providing better control during walks.

2️⃣ Standard Slip Lead: Loop it over your dog’s head & position it high on their neck. Placement is key—higher on the neck = more control.

🦴 Why using an effective tool can make a difference: The right tool bridges the gap between communication & control. It allows you to guide your dog in a way they understand, reducing frustration for both of you. It promotes clearer communication, builds trust, & helps create a more enjoyable walking experience, setting the foundation for long-term success.

Slip Leads: $36
✔️ Includes a FREE mini session!
✔️ Available in 4 ft or 6 ft lengths
✔️ Thinner leads for smaller dogs
✔️ Thicker leads for bigger dogs

30 ft Long Lines: $45
✔️ Perfect for teaching foundational recall!
🎥 Check out my recall demo: Watch here: https://youtu.be/tuN8HdzeO6s?si=io5-va4vopTzQH20

Not anywhere near Lacombe? No problem! Shipping is available for $18.

We also have a versatile 2-in-1 leash (slip lead + clip) for $45, available in Purple, Red, Teal, and Blue (6 ft only).

We also carry standard clip leashes (4 ft or 6 ft) for $35.

I've been using these tools for years, & they’ve truly changed the lives of so many dog owners.

Message us to order yours! They also make a great Stocking Stuffer 😉

12/18/2024

✨ Gear Alert! ✨

We’ve got just ONE Passionate Paws Adventure Logo T-shirt (size large) left for $25!

Also, ONE Owala mug remaining that can hold both hot & cold beverages, complete with a straw & slider, for $45.
