Meet the lovely miss Maple! She had a full day of training, with a focus on loose leash, leave it, and focus! She loves to grab leaves, sticks, and anything else interesting on the ground, so we put leave it to good work and she did fantastically, especially for her age! 👏🏿

🐾 🎉NEW TRAINING PROGRAMS🎊🐾

Happy to announce that coming April, I am expanding my amount of training options! Currently, I offer group classes, for basic common behaviors and socialization. Private lessons, both in home and on location for personalized and specific training to tackle *your* needs.

But now, in addition to that, I will have three other options.

🐾Day Training: This will be a full day where I take your pup to work on specific issues! It will include indoor training at my location, training out and about around people, in pet friendly establishments, and more! This will be good for either people who will be out for the day, and want their pup to continue training and be well exercised while they're gone, OR people who want to address specific behavioral troubles that require more than just an hour session.

🐾Training Walks: This will be a training walk, ranging from 30-90 minutes depending on the size and activity level of your dog! This is not just a typical walk, but will include working on leash manners including pulling or chasing, behavior around dogs and people, and handler comfortability. This is geared towards those who either aren't able to do long training walks, or have difficulty walking their dogs on leash. Whether it be due to pulling, reactivity, or any other combination of reasons. Dogs with *similar, non reactivity based* issues can be walked together, and dogs with reactivity issues can be scheduled for longer blocking times if needed.

🐾Structured Pack Walks: These will be similar to training walks, however it will be in a group setting! 3-10 walkers depending on location and needs, including basic manners while walking, and time to chat about training tips while walking. It will be separated into 2 different types:
Type one will be more of a general public, drop in option. I will post the date and location and you can simply call or message to let me know you're coming! $10 per head, and will be very low intensity on training. It will be in large, public areas such as parks and walking trails, where separation is easy.
The second type will be more geared towards dogs who have very good leash walking manners and low reactivity, OR are known to be reactive and must be worked around other dogs. The dogs MUST be previous or current clients of mine, and have any appropriate gear (slip lead, muzzle, etc). Groups will be small, working on specific issues and those with already established leash manners will work on public access, exposure to unfamiliar surroundings and experiences, and focus work!

Public pack walks will be held at least once a month, weather dependent. Private pack walks will likely be held bi-weekly, unless demand calls for more frequency! Reach out via facebook, email, call or text at 506-321-4133 to book in early for these new options! Booking will also soon be available via my website as well.

Good news! I am looking into hosting group lessons once again, but I need your input and opinion on a couple things!

Firstly: Would people prefer 3 week or 5 week courses? The courses will be set in beginner, intermediate, and advanced formats. The 3 week courses would be much faster paced, with more things to work on between each class and would require at least 1 private lesson beforehand to gauge prior level of obedience. The 5 week course would be more laid back, cover more material, and have more thorough tests and outings at the end of each course. Or, if there is enough interest, we can have both running concurrently.

And secondly: Would people prefer to see a puppy class, or a basic obedience class first? The classes will be reasonably small, so there will be several start dates depending on what level and what type it is.

And of course, any question or inquiries about topics or other types of classes or certain dates are welcome!

This pretty boy Sy is our most recent graduate! Sy is a Brittany spaniel whose last option was training before being returned to his rescue. He's now a happier, well adjusted pup who is learning more and more each day! Congrats Sy 🎉🎊

Starting this next week, there will be 3 more spots available for in-person training. There are also 4 spots available for online classes as well.

04/26/2022

I am happy to announce that with covid restrictions being lifted, I will be continuing in person lessons with limited spots!

Preference will still be given to outdoor and online lessons, however there will be three concurrent spots available for in-home training. Each time one contract ends, that spot will then be reopened.

Group classes will not be continuing at this time, but keep an eye out for future updates!

I am pleased to announce that Sammy has gone to his forever home! He warmed up to them very quickly and will have a great life with them.

07/06/2021

Small update on Sammy! He's adjusting very well, and very quickly. He has a healthy appetite and has absolutely zero resource guarding tendencies.
We were told he was quite crate shy and had to be lifted into it, but with only a little bit of training he is completely comfortable with it! His pulling on walks has also gotten significantly better with only slight training. He would be a great dog for a household that wants a large breed, but has children and wants a mild mannered dog. As of yet I have seen no aggression. I will continue working with him until he finds his forever home! As always you can reach out to adopt him at The Relinquished Souls Animal Rescue Society Reg non-profit # 3318351

Note: please do not do this unless you are completely certain your dog has no resource guarding tendencies. This is not to be done for training purposes, only to demonstrate how easygoing he is for potential adopters.

Everybody say hello to Sammy!

Sammy is a mixed breed male that I am fostering. He is around 70 lbs, and looks to be a lab mixed with a larger breed, like German shepherd, or Great Dane. I've just begun working with him today, and I'll give updates on progress with him so far! He's a very smart boy who picks up on things quickly. He loves pets and affection, and given enough time would become a huge cuddle bug.

He's very mild mannered and tolerates handling very well. Love having his paws and face held and petted.

He's currently up for adoption over at The Relinquished Souls Animal Rescue Society Reg non-profit # 3318351 if you are interested or have any questions about him!

06/21/2021

I'm happy to announce that due to restrictions easing up, I'm now offering in-person sessions once again! They can be held at your home, or outside to fit everybody's comfort level.

Online lessons are still offered of course, and will take priority over in-person for now. Call, text, or email today to discuss pricing.
