While on vacation in Mexico, I (again) made a very special stop — the shelter that rescued and housed my sweet girl Guera for a year and a half before she came to me. 🤍 Standing in the place where her story began is always incredibly emotional and grounding.

Importing dogs from other countries is complicated, and it’s important to acknowledge that our own country is also facing a serious crisis with dogs in need. Holding space for both truths matters. That said, I couldn’t be here and not stop to help out — even if only for the day. Sometimes volunteering where you can, when you can, is enough!

Dr. Mau, the staff, and the volunteers do the most incredible job caring for these dogs — medically, emotionally, and with so much love. It’s truly the happiest shelter I’ve ever been to. The dogs are safe, joyful, and so well cared for… and because of that, I’m never sad when I leave. I leave full, grateful, and hopeful.

Thank you for giving my girl her start — and for continuing to do this work every single day. 🐾🤍

Huge thank you to our incredible vendors — scroll for all the details! 💚❤️

1. Each morning from the 12th ➡️ 24th, i’ll be posting a set of training challenges to my story! You can choose to opt out of any challenge, but you won’t earn points for the ones you skip — points are only awarded for the challenges you complete.

2. To earn your points, you must post a video and/or photo on your story or feed. You MUST have a public profile, be following me (and .ca + .and.co ), use the hashtag and tag — if i’m not tagged, i won’t see your entry 🤭

3. If a challenge feels tricky, you’re always welcome to modify it (within reason), aim high, try your best, and push just a little — your dog might surprise you more than you think ✨

4. Most importantly, have FUN! This challenge is all about building connection, confidence and consistency with your dog. The focus this year is relationship-based play, empowerment, and showing up for your dog in small but meaningful ways. This is NOT limited to any one training style — everyone is welcome. Jump in, try your best, and let’s keep the good vibes flowing 💥

Psssst - It’s recommend you participate from day 1 to begin collecting as many points as possible! You cannot back track to collect points from missed days - sorry!

✨ Hey, I’m Kate – the face behind Kate N K9s! ✨
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m a dog trainer with a passion for helping dogs and their humans learn, grow, and adventure together. 🐾

My journey started with my own dog (cutie to my left), who taught me more than I ever could’ve imagined about patience, trust, and communication. What began as a deep love for dogs has grown into a career focused on building strong, balanced relationships between dogs and their families.

At Kate N K9s, I focus on: 🐶 Training that works in real life 🌲 Adventures & enrichment for happy, fulfilled dogs 💡 Education for owners to feel confident and supported

From puppy foundations to behavior challenges to creating adventure-ready companions, I’m here to guide you and your dog every step of the way.
This space is for learning, connection, and celebrating the incredible bond we share with our dogs. 🫶

I’d love to get to know you too — drop a 👋 in the comments and tell me about your pup! Let’s work together!

Things I wish more dog owners knew… part 2!

1️⃣ Your dogs behaviour is information - not defiance. Ask your self, “is this problem behaviour due to lack of education, or lack of motivation?” Meaning, do they really truly understand what you’re asking, or are they actually being a jerko? Reflect on this the next time you’re feeling frustrated about your dog’s actions!

2️⃣ Not all dogs are bred equally. Where your dog comes from matters - not just for how they look, but for their health and behaviour. Before adding a dog to your family, do you research and be aware of the red flags in the breeder community. A lot of them fly under the radar and mask as ethical and reliable to the untrained eye. Shop (or adopt) responsibly!

3️⃣ Your dogs gut is their second brain. The gut influences the production and regulation of essential hormones and neurotransmitters, which play critical roles in a dogs behaviour and overall well-being! Nutrition needs to be a part of our holistic approach to changing dogs behavior. Adding fresh whole foods to your dogs diet can provide a broader spectrum of nutrients and improve your dogs overall health and wellbeing! These imbalances can be a huge contributing factor to your dogs reactivity, anxiety, energy and more!

4️⃣ Connection over correction. Don’t get me wrong - there is certainly a time and place to correct unwanted behaviours. However, training should always start with a relationship first. A foundation built on fun and clarity makes tackling the hard stuff so much easier. When you nail a fair and healthy relationship and are genuinely connected to your dog, a lot of problems just melt away.
