I could see Roger starring in a romantic period piece, he's giving Pride and Prejudice with that dramatic look in the rain. 😂

Giovanni & Sophie ❤️

We've known these two for years now, and in that time they've managed to make me fall even more in love with guardian breeds!

Gio is a total prince, always looks freshly groomed, will not go outside if it is wet. Sophie on the otherhand is literally a swamp monster, and loves to cannonball into any body of water she can find. 😂

We love these two and their unique quirks. 😉

We're thrilled to have Mabel back for daycare after she was off due to some medical issues the past month or so. She's a very special girl and it just wasn't the same without her. ❤️

Crumpet & Marmalade are going to be parents! 🪿

Marmalade has been sitting on her nest, only getting up to eat and drink, and have the occasional domestic dispute with Crumpet, who seems to try to be trying to mansplain to her how to hatch eggs while also doing none of the work. Go figure. 😬

I candled her eggs and it looks like the goslings are developing as they should. I also noticed that both the ducks and chickens have managed to sneak some eggs into Marmalade's nest, so she may end up with a bizarre collection of babies. Honestly, birds don't seem to care what hatches, as long as they hatch! 😂

I'm looking for a few people who would like the opportunity to have a nice professional video of their pet, and them if they wish, at a very discounted rate in exchange for me being able to use the video for my portfolio (as well as social media page/website).
Horses, dogs, cats, or any other animals are welcome!

If you have a specific idea for the video and location, for example, if you'd like videos with your senior dog on their favourite hiking trail during sunrise, let me know and we will plan it out together to bring your idea to fruition. 🐾

I am willing to travel anywhere. There is a travel fee if the location for filming is farther than 20min from Chatsworth (Owen Sound).

If you are interested in signing up, or have any questions, you can DM us or email [email protected].

I look forward to capturing your beautiful beasts! ❤️

Guys it is going to be okay! March ice storms bring April showers- and April showers bring May flowers! 💐

Lesson one of day training today has been focused on muzzle training and cooperative care, Monty likes this game very much. 🐕

Muzzle training is something I feel every dog owner could benefit from, regardless of if your dog is friendly or not. Muzzles can be used for a variety of reasons, such as:

✨️Dogs that chronically eat p**p
✨️Dogs who pick up or ingest random items on walks
✨️ Dogs who try and grab brushes/nail trimmers while being groomed
✨️ Dogs who aren't comfortable with vet visits/physical examinations
✨️ Dogs that don't enjoy strangers or other dogs, especially if you are taking your dogs out in public/on public transit. ( does this all the time!)

Muzzles are a tool that can give your dog a safe way to open up their world, and prevent harm to your dog and others. Maybe you think you never need to use a muzzle. If you train your dog to be comfortable with it regardless, then you'll set your dog up for success and better experiences should the need arrive to use one.

Using a muzzle on your dog is not the equivalent of putting a neon sign on them that says "MY DOG IS AGGRESSIVE!!". It's a safety tool, with a whole spectrum of reasons to use it. Dogs that are used to muzzles are happy and comfortable, it's like getting used to any other tool (such as a collar or leash). It's a skill that when training, should be a game for both of you, keep it light and fun.

This was Montys first time seeing a muzzle, so I said nothing and just held it. When he touched it, I'd just mark and reward. He understood the game quickly, so from here I will reward when he puts his snout fully into the muzzle, and then add duration, and of course add the phrase "muzzle" so he understands what he's being asked. I want him to get excited and basically put the muzzle on himself.

There are lots of different ways to muzzle train, so do what works for you. Even Kyle and I do it differently.

Keep sessions short and sweet!

Gus previously needed to be sedated at the vet for nail trims, as his Mom said in her first email to us " he goes completely psychotic".

Gus and his Mom came to us for training in October, and as you can see, did the work! To say we are proud would be an understatement. They put in the time, and now look at the nail trimming experience Gus gets to have. He stood absolutely perfectly for Sarah.

Incredible incredible work Emily & Gus! You're a wonderful team, look at all you have accomplished. We hope you are as proud as we are. ❤️
