Hot days call for cool adventures! Skip the sizzling sidewalks and head for shady trails, grassy parks, or dirt paths that are gentle on your dog’s paws. 💦 Water play is a great way to cool down and get some fun exercise in too!

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Gail, owner and practitioner of Creature Comfort Animal Reiki.

Many times, I come across cases where the dog is expressing emotional irregularities and that the spirit is in need of attention in addition to behaviour modification/veterinary care.

A prime example of this is when a female dog that was used for unethical breeding practices in a mill type environment, and that her loss(es) have taken its toll on her spirit.

That sometimes realigning, connecting, or the removal of energy blocks can allow for an increase in emotional stability thus allowing a greater reception of trust and training to manifest.

After discussion on approaches in dealing with complex cases, I am happy to say that Gail is now on my referral list for non aggressive cases and that her approach is one of calm kindness."

Please welcome Gail and please feel free to reach out to her through her Facebook profile linked below for more information on hee services.

Hey you, It’s just me....

I started just like you, a pet dog owner and guardian to share my life and adventures with. I never knew it would take me where I am today, a multi-certified dog trainer and advocate.

When I made the decision in 2010 to get a dog and made sure that I have the home, lifestyle and budget to sustain this new life. I went on the hunt to find my match, and it wasn't easy, as I wanted to make sure that this life was going to be able to keep up with my outdoor activities, but also have the ability to be calm and cuddly. Large breed dogs always had my heart, and there are so many different breed types, I had a hard time determining what was right for me.

So after doing 6 months of online assessment matching and researching every breed type for their individual requirements, I came across the Chesapeake Bay Retriever - I fell in Love! Their reserved but focused temperament matched mine, and the fact that they are bred to be outdoorsy even in winter was a great quality! However, there came a warning of having a Chessie...”They are not for the average dog owner”. This particular breed needs to have their training maintained as they are very independent, again I recognized that as an additional positive for my match as I always loved to learn and grow. So, I decided to start looking for my Chessie and found a family just outside of Calgary, Alberta.

Mac came from clean breading lines as his father was a 95-pound very reserved stud and his mother a sleek, calm and engaging 65 lbs beauty. Mac got the best of both worlds with one little hiccup - a genetic blip that made his coat go shaggy and soft, not the short, tight curly coat in typical Chessies. We bonded instantly and with Mac’s mom's content, I started the transition into my urban world and home.
