Les Social Pups

Soooo early 2023 i was completing RBBM1 for the second time. On top of attending CHRI’s puppy and nutrition online classes in 2022 💻

Throughout the years, I haven’t found that many ways of working with dogs and their people that felt both efficient AND fair to all parties involved.

It’s why i am BEYOND excited to announce that in Nov 2024, i’m officially headed to Texas to continue learning from the CHRI’s team during the RBBM2 workshops. Getting a step closer to becoming a certified instructor in Relationship Based Behavior Mod feels unreal 💙

The learning never stops 💫 Happy Wednesday pups!

Looking to help a fearful/selective rescue? Work in babysteps.

Maple and her mom have been working with Chloe to gain more trust in us, so we could finally introduce her to some members of our crew up close.

Here’s the steps that worked for her:

1st: Maple’s mom and Chloé met for walks. Chloé wouldn’t try to interact with Maple unless it was to give her a cookie.

2nd: Once Maple was consistently happy to see Chloé, they started taking her away from her mom together.

3rd: Once Maple felt comfortable walking away from her mom, we started introducing new (well-selected) friends to her on our dates.

Couldn’t have picked a better wing-man than little Cashew for today 👌🏼

Lucy & Levi: Morning Negociations Leaders 🐶

Their agenda includes, but isn’t limited to, a higher cookie/dog ratio.

Their odds are looking pretty solid as there’s only 5 of us humans.

To be continued.

DAYCAMP UPDATE!

Too long didn’t watch: we are now at 36 people on the waitlist. We won’t be accepting spontaneous visits anymore, so get onto a weekly schedule to remain on the team (unless we already have an agreement) 🥸 We’re racking our brains to find a way to add more spots, but it might take us a minute.

Thank you for your understanding 💙

Snow is on it’s way out, but the group walk is back!!! 🙆🏼‍♀️

⚠️ We’re going private this year, so please only come if you’re a daycare parent or if you’ve trained with us in the past ⚠️

There won’t be a cover charge, but we’ll have a donation basket + a Square thignie should you want to leave a little something for the staff-member helping you/the team.

We often get asked how we’re different than your average daycare, so here’s a few examples..

1- We are more like a soccer camp.. but for pack walks! 🐶

2- We like to get out of our facility for field trips!

3- We teach a specific set of life skills 🧠

4- We will coach you through the ups and downs of dog ownership 💙

5- We will help you organize socialization opportunities if you can’t find friends for your pup!

Head over to our website and fill out the form to be added to our waitlist, and join our growing family!

Apollo the is starting a desensitization program aiming for him to stop giving lip to people when they try talking to his pawrents 🥸 We will need help from many humans regularly to make this happe, and we’d love to work with our community more!

If you’re also struggling with this and would like a sit-in spot so you can take the info home to your own dog after, DM us!!💙

May I take a moment of your time to talk to you about our Joy and Sanity Savior: Having proper grooming client etiquette ?✨

Follow these simple steps to become your groomer's next favorite client 💁🏽‍♂️

✅ Book online : Go on our website, select the 'grooming' page, and fill out our appointment request form. If you're already a grooming client, simply send an email to [email protected] to get our next available dates.

✅ Book in advance! We are usually booked about 5 weeks in advance for groomings and 2 to 3 weeks for nail trims.

✅ Expect homework, and follow through with it!
Some pups might need some extra time with desensitization to manipulations and tools and our groomers want to help them! When you bring your dog for grooming or a nail trim, our team might send you home with some tips and exercises to practice daily in order to make your dog's experience at the groomer a pleasant one every time ❤ We won't push your dog's limits simply for aesthetic reasons - their wellbeing comes first.

✅ Be on time! We unfortunately can't guarantee the services you booked for will get done if you are late, as we have other clients waiting, and having to rush to catch up sucks for everyone. We need to be completely present to give our best for your pups 🐶

Cheers!
The SP team

Day Camp FAQ 🌈

Wondering what day camp with us would be like? Here is the answer to some of the questions we get the most!

Did you know we also sell our ‘Zephira’ Leashes?? 🤩

Why we love them so much??

1- They are 6’ long, plus the collar/halter space. This means that your pup doesn’t have to sacrifice extra lenght to explore in order for you to have a tool that makes you feel more in control 💪🏽

2- Amazing training tool. Helps clarify communication, and allows you to go from halter to no halter in three seconds to show your dog when you’re happy with them. Each leash comes with a safety clip to make it harder for your dog to mess with their loop.

3- They’re much lighter than a leash + halter combo (nice for smaller pups!)

4- They are made of the toughest biothane we could find, yet 1/2" thin so that they’re comfortable. Even our power chewers need to sit down to make a dent into it 😉

And, last but not least…

5- Because they’re made locally by Viva and her team in Villy!!!! 💙

We have many Zephira Leashes and Slip n’ Gos in stock, and can easily order you a custom piece 📩 DM or Email us at [email protected] for the details/to place a special order.

Cheers & belly scritches
