More confidence classes starting July 9th! If your not sure what the classes are about scroll down for more pics!

Sometimes I get asked why the same locations??
All locations are purpose built. Meaning we start with low stress,low environment change and low traffic. Then we start to kick things up a notch. Some dogs may have trouble if we start uptown for the first class. Making this super stressful for both owner and handler.
When creating these classes I always keep this in mind!

Building a strong bond through your training is so important! Your dog needs your guidance and patience. Never take your dog on a boring walk,give them tasks to stimulate and enrich them along the way!
These handlers did just that!

Setting goals with your pups is so important in training! Always start small and finish out big!
Never overwhelm your dog and if you happen to get stuck try to gain your space to help your dog!
You will reach your goal if you work hard! Don't blame train!
These teams pushed through 5 weeks to obtain a huge goal at the end! Busy streets,different loud noise and new smells!

So why are confidence classes so Important?? If you plan on taking your dog everywhere you go then they need to be behaved in public! They need the confidence to be able to handle the everyday stress that life brings. That includes busy areas,new environment,noise, people,other dogs and more.
Check out these pups and their peeps working hard and setting goals!

Star is still waiting for her perfect match. She is a very shy puppy who is looking for a family to help her feel safe in this world. Star has a lot of fear of novelty and new people, but she is gentle and curious. She has come a long way from arrival, where she would shriek at being touched, but she will still need extra TLC to feel safe in the world. Read more about her here. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/star-71415888/nb/st-stephen/charlotte-county-spca-nb01/

It’s a good habit to rinse off your dog after swimming.
It gets rid of any bacteria that collects on their fur from the water.
It also cleans off any chemicals and stops itchiness caused
by chlorine, sand etc.

ADORABLE ADOPTABLE - BONNIE 12-13 weeks - Mixed breed, possibly pug with???? Thinking she will likely get to a max of 30 lbs, but we cannot guarantee that.

𝙃𝙀𝙍: Busy, bossy, sometimes overly bitey when tired, funny, and an energizer bunny who needs help with her off switch. Bonnie will go, go, go, so you need to take the initiative and say "time for a break".
𝙔𝙊𝙐: Dog experience and understanding of dog behaviour - this puppy is a going concern and has been passed around at least twice in her young life and she needs to find her "rock". You don't mind a puppy who may be genetically wired to be more barky (apartment life might not be a good fit). You are active and want an active partner. You have a good sense of humour and don't sweat the small stuff. We find Bonnie hilarious and we want her new home to feel the same way.

You can read about Bonnie here to see if you may be a match. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/bonnie-71437039/nb/st-stephen/charlotte-county-spca-nb01/

Humanity over vanity in dog grooming emphasizes prioritizing the well-being and comfort of the dog over solely focusing on their appearance. This approach involves considering factors such as the dog's health, temperament, and individual needs, rather than just striving for a certain aesthetic. It involves grooming practices that prioritize the dog's comfort and happiness, even if it means forgoing certain trendy or elaborate grooming styles.💗🌸

Love these teams! Sometimes training is tough....but it's all about learning to communicate effectively to get the job done!
Congratulations teams on a job well done!
Proud of you all!

Omg! The best outcome! I strongly suggest with the rapid amount of missing pets that owners should look into tracking devices. Good investment!
