We’re not trying to crank an e-collar up to 100. The point is not intensity, but precision.

When a collar only goes from 1 to 20, but “20” is the same intensity as “100” on a lower quality collar, that means each jump is huge. If 20 = 100, then every increase is basically a jump of 5 levels (1=5, 2=10, 3=15…). So if your dog feels best at, say, a level 7… you can’t land there. You’re forced into either a 5 or a 10.

But when the scale goes from 1–100, suddenly you have so many options in between. You can pinpoint the exact number your dog feels, understands, and responds to, without going higher than they need.

More sensitivity = more clarity = a better training experience for the dog. ✅

A dog can be reactive without being aggressive, and aggressive without being reactive. Intention matters in understanding how to manage and train behaviour!

The holidays are coming, and suddenly we’re all running around with a mental checklist that never seems to end.
You might notice your dog acting a little different right now, maybe they’re extra clingy, extra barky, extra “hey… pay attention to me.”

Here’s the thing: dogs can smell when we’re stressed.
But more importantly, they notice the little shifts in our routine. The rushing, the change in voice, the quicker movements, the lack of calm moments together.

So if your dog’s behaviour feels “off,” it might not be misbehaving.
It might just be them reacting to the chaos around them.

A small reminder: before you dive into the holiday to-do list, take a moment to meet your dog’s needs. A slow sniff walk, a few minutes of connection, a predictable routine, some training, or enrichment activities/ chews.
It helps them settle…
and honestly, it helps you settle too.

Peaceful dog, peaceful home, peaceful holidays.

Every trip I take, there is hours of food preparation. Whistler, Tinpa, and Major all need meals packed to come with me (and we’ve discussed how extra I am about their food). When I went camping in september I had Gaia, Lola, the puppies, and Angie who all needed meals prepped too!

Being a responsible dog owner doesn’t stop when you leave the house. Trips, vacations, and weekends away all mean extra preparation, especially when it comes to food.

Packing meals for multiple dogs isn’t glamorous. It takes hours of portioning,  adding supplements and medication, labeling, and double-checking. Raw, kibble, supplements - everything has to be measured out and stored properly so routines aren’t disrupted and stomachs stay happy.

Owning a dog isn’t just about the fun parts like the walks, the cuddles, the adventures. It’s about the behind-the-scenes effort that makes those moments possible. Responsible ownership means thinking ahead, planning for their needs, and making sure they’re set up for success whether you’re at home or on the road.

Because at the end of the day, they rely on us for everything... and they’re worth the work.

“My dog listens to me but not my partner!”

Well... does your partner train the dog too? Or do you do all the training? Dogs don’t automatically generalize information. They form relationships through consistency in training. If you do all of the training with them, they are learning to listen to you... if all of your family members put some reps in then your dog understands expectations!

Send this to you partner... let me settle that household argument for you!

Meet Rocky 🐶
Rocky is here for my puppy board & train program!

His family was struggling with house training, so that’s our main focus these weeks. Helping him learn a consistent routine, understand where to go, and build good bathroom habits in the home. Alongside that, we’re working on:

• Learning to settle
• Proper dog-to-dog interactions
• Basic obedience foundations
• Leash manners and not defaulting to pulling
• Handling & grooming desensitization… especially important with his doodle coat!
• General confidence building in new environments

He’s such a sweet boy with a curious little personality, and he’s already making great progress. Excited to share his updates!

E-collars, when used correctly, offer clear, consistent communication and strengthen trust between dog and handler. When used incorrectly, as any tool, they can be harmful. It is essential to have the guidance of a trusted professional before attempting to e-collar train.
