The boy is looking for a new home. Should be an active family who is able to give him the outlets that he needs. Great with other dogs. Contact Paws & Strides if you are interested in helping out.

Hi Fur Family!! I am looking to help a client of mine find a home for her 2 year Australian shepherd mix. Unfortunately someone in the family was diagnosed with cancer and Finn is just very high energy and they don’t feel they can give the time and attention he deserves with the circumstances. He is a lovely boy and gets along amazing with other dogs, I have had him stay here with other boarding dogs. Please message me if you or someone you know can give him an amazing active home! ❤️

Introduce place at a young age and build it up solidly over time so that it becomes beneficial for situations such as meal time for humans, when the kids are running around, when you have guests in, for sport classes etc. These portable, collapsible dog cots from Cool Runners are awesome for this.

Don’t forget to add handling exercises to your training routine with your puppy. We love to use meal times for this, creating a positive association with touch and restraint. In the end, it’s makes your job easier, your vets job easier and your groomers job easier if you get puppies used to being handled and restrained as soon as possible.

One small game of FIND IT can work wonders for exercise and mental stimulation on these cold, cold days. Fantastic for all dogs, but especially those who cannot tolerant the cold for long periods. Full HOW TO videos available on our Vimeo page, link below.

The more that you let your puppy out, the faster they are to house train. This is a fact. Every half hour to hour we let young puppies out, as well as after waking up, after play, shortly after water and food and after any and all activity or transition times, before going in and after coming out of the crate and so on. The more you let them out, the more it becomes habit and the quicker they catch on.

A house leash can help to solve a myriad of issues with your dog if they are not fully trained or your are experiencing any behaviours that you don’t like. A simple light dollar store leash, 6 foot is best, with the handle cut off, is the perfect drag line. Worn supervised only, of course, and never in the crate.

This is a game of tug. This is NOT aggression. This is the noises that your puppy may make if they latch on to your clothes or other items they may not be allowed to have. They will growl and trash. This is NOT aggression. They may not want to let go. This is NOT aggression. They may sound intimidating, but this is still NOT aggression. This is a dog or puppy having a good old time and possibly being over stimulated. Remember, when you have a puppy, don’t make yourself or things you don’t want your puppy to have, into an accidental game of tug.

Socialization isn’t about meeting every dog and person that your puppy sees, rather, it’s about getting out to new environments, sights, scents and sounds and how to handle these things with confidence and control. You also don’t need to rush into these things, take it slowly, per your own pups speed. A Timmie’s drive through on a cold, windy day was a good first trip.

You want your puppy to behave better? Let them sleep!! An abundant amount of puppies DO NOT get enough sleep (sometimes very little to no sleep … ‘til Brooklyn …) and display a lot of behaviours that we don’t like because of this. Crate rest and naps are essential for a healthy, happy, well behaved and adjusted puppy.

Wishing everyone a happy, safe, fun filled new years and an awesomely wonderful 2025!

Don’t forget, on a day like today, when the weather hits minus 18 with the wind, FIND IT is a great way to exercise and entertain your dog if they cannot tolerate the extreme cold. Small dogs, thin coated dogs, puppies and elderly dogs will definitely benefit from this fun activity. And if you’ve got kids, get them involved too - they can hide the treats or toys for your dog! All the steps to teaching this game are on our Vimeo page and here in our instagram account. Have fun! We used Crumps' Naturals Lamb treats for this game. #findit #nosework #noseworkdog #ratterrier #ratterrierworld #dogtrainingtips#dogtrainingadvice#smartdogscaninetraining #doggames #smalldoglove #dogoftheday

We cannot forget our large breed dogs. Packaging them may not be as simple, but it can be fun and festive for everyone! #christmasdogs #oldeenglishbulldogge #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #smartdogscaninetraining #bulldog #BulldogTraining #christmastips

Here are some ideas to keep up with your training over the holiday season. It’s best if you have a dog for this, however, sometimes birds or cats will do in a pinch. #dogtraining #dogsofcanada #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingadvice #smartdogscaninetraining #patterdaleterrier #christmasdogs #christmastips #funny

Wishing all the kiddies a fun and safe trick or treating night! Happy Halloween! 🎃 #halloween2024 #halloweencostume #halloweendogs

I cannot make a serious video with this dog … ever. The joys of terriers … #smartdogstraining #patterdaleterrier #terriertroubles #DogTraining

Two ways to teach “centre” or “middle”. We can lure the dog around the right side to the back and through our legs, or, starting at the back and through. Or we can lure them through the front of the legs towards the back, turning them around either underneath, behind, or in front sliding in. It looks fancier from the front, but both will do in a pinch. I’ll post a more detailed video on how to achieve this position with both techniques in a few days. Happy Friday! #usefuldogtricks #smartdogscaninetraining #dogtraining #dogtrainingisfun
