Our darling Snoop has been pack walking for quite some time now. We're well overdue his pupdate! 🥰🐾
This boy is probably one of the kindest dogs I've ever met. He's gentle with us and his friends and definitely never means any harm. Him and Jetta have had nothing but chill and happy experiences. This is pretty rare for her. She never felt anything but love for this boy. He has a special energy and some adorable quirks that we just love. For example, when we come to pick him up, he will slowly slink into the couch or under the couch, roll over, and wag his tail. We have to lift his head to pop his collar on. We are obsessed!! Once the leash is on, it's go time!
He's a joy to have in the pack and has been learning not to pull and instead chill beside us and have a nice, relaxed walk. He's always ready for a picture, especially with his famous side eye that makes us laugh every walk! I am so grateful to have such a good boy to walk with us so often, we love you, Snoopy boy. Thanks for being an angel! ❤️

Yesterday, we welcomed in two new sweeties to the pack, say hello to LLEWYN, and MAEVE!! 🥰🐾
Lew and I share a birthday, although he just turned 1 year old. He's a puppy boy but very smart and willing to learn. I absolutely love his personality already! Him and Boxer Alfie were big fans of each other on their first outing. It's amazing to watch the older dogs enjoy the youthful energy!
Maeve is turning 3 soon and is a little more reserved than her bro, at least for now! It was so encouraging to see her loosen up as the walk progressed and get more comfortable with us all. She is an absolute sweetheart, a kind soul, and a gentle walker.
I'm super excited for more walks with these good dogs, to watch them meet more friends and go on all the adventures! Welcome to the pack, kiddos. I hope you love it here. We are so lucky to walk with you both. ❤️

The last few days have flown by, November is here and the countdown to 2025 is on. The pack is starting to feel so solid, Maria and I have gotten into a good groove walking dogs together, and I'm super excited to welcome some new pups in next week. I also have a lot of meet and greets scheduled for this month, so excited to meet some new pups and see how they will fit into the pack. Happy November! ❤️🐾

I'd like to brag about my buddy Stanley for a bit. He's been walking solo with me for quite some time now, time for his pupdate! 🥰🐾
Stanley walks with me once a week, but he also trains with Rustic Paws and goes for play dates at Pynies Paws, the luckiest boy!
For my walks with him we pretty much get out and about to expose Stanley to the sights, sounds and smells of the big outside world. Poor guy was raised during covid, and although his parents work very hard with him training and walking him themselves, the lack of social time was really hard on the boy. He can be reactive towards people and other dogs, which was making getting him out almost impossible.
During my time with him I've witnessed him go from wind up explosive towards his triggers to being able to sit and observe other dogs walk by at a small distance. We're not perfect, but to see him able to manage like this is really amazing. We've formed a close bond, and I can feel the mutual respect blossoming all the time between us.
Good job, Stanley, for working so hard and being so brave! We definitely love you a lot. ❤️

Summer came back for a couple of days and we've been loving it! 🌞
Check out the fall colours we were lucky enough to walk through so far this week, plus a couple bonus pictures of Jetta at daycare! ❤️
Happy Tuesday!

10/18/2024

Our short week in pictures! ❤️🐾
It's been a busy and fantastic week. Maria and I have been loving the warmer temps we're still getting, and most of the dogs are happy about it too. I hope you all enjoy the sunny weekend!

10/17/2024

We welcomed this sweetheart into the pack today, please join me in welcoming LUCKY to the Bat Pack! 🥰🐾
Lucky is an almost 9 year old Lab/Rotti mix, so of course I'm obsessed with her already. She absolutely loves her walks, sniffing and other pup friends. Watching her meet the crew today was seriously amazing, she let me know who she was cool with right away, and who she needed a bit more time to get to know. By mid-walk she was completely comfortable and was inviting a bit of play with even the high energy Huskies, made me so happy!
Lucky is such a good girl on leash, she is just happy to get out and about and have a good time with some nice friends. She kept looking up at me with the biggest smile, and I could tell her new pals were big fans of hers already.
Welcome, Lucky girl, I'm so excited to get to know you more and share more adventures with you. We're so lucky to have you! ❤️

Happy Thursday!! 🥰🐾
We've had a short week, and it's flying by as usual. I can't believe Thanksgiving is this coming Monday, hopefully you all get to enjoy some time off with your family and pooches. We'll be taking the holiday Monday off, and will be back at it on Tuesday the 15th.

Walks have been going so well this week, friendships are blossoming and the new dogs are warming up to me fast. I'm looking forward to walks with Maria and the gang tomorrow before the long weekend, let's go! ❤️

10/04/2024

It's been a whirlwind of a week, we've been crazy busy behind the scenes and I haven't had much time to post. So here's our week in pictures!
We've welcomed back old friends and had a lot of human company too. The dogs have been loving it. With all the excitement that's been going on, the pack has been managing so well, I'm excited to see what fall has in store for us.

In other news, I reached 600 followers not that long ago on Facebook. That's pretty crazy for a little pack walking company in Sarnia. Thanks so much for following and continuing to follow us and the dogs!! It means so much to us, and I'm grateful you're not tired of my ramblings yet. 😂

Have a great weekend!! ❤️

We have two new pack members to introduce you to, please welcome Sophie and Pearl!! 🥰🐾
I'm so curious if anyone can guess their personalities from their pictures alone.
They're both total sweethearts, and already friends with Jetta as they also go to Pynies Paws for play time!
Both girls are young, but hard at work with mum already, going through training with Rustic Paws and getting their long walks in too. There's a lot of energy to burn here, but I was pleasantly surprised at how chill they could be on their first walk last week. The pack took to them right away, and helped them settle in and feel comfortable. Pearl especially was a little shy at first, but warmed up quickly. Whereas Sophie had no trouble telling her new friends off when needed 😂 all in an effort to make sure they were respecting little sister of course.
Both gals are awesome on leash, with Sophie being a bit "spicier" when it comes to seeing dogs and other fast moving things. I'm super excited you're here to walk with us girls, your energy is so appreciated and I can't wait for our next adventure!

Yesterday, we welcomed this pretty girl into the pack. Welcome to the team, MADIGAN! 🥰🐾
Madi is Rue's doppelganger, so alike in looks, but very different personality wise. She has joined the pack to take part in adventures with fellow doggies as a way of gaining confidence in the big wide world.
She wants to make some buddies and enjoy nice, long walks as part of a pack. Some things are just better with friends!
Madi comes from an experienced household of raising dogs, so she has all her manners down pat. She is wonderful on leash and showed epic obedience on just her first walk. A super sweet and gentle girl, I can't wait to watch her open up around me and her friends and see that true personality shine.
Thank you for trusting me Madigan, I am super glad you're here, and from how our walk went yesterday, I think the pack is too! Welcome to pack life!

How it started vs how it's going...
Today I'm celebrating my 3rd year on Facebook, and my 3rd year of running The Bat Pack. Thank you for your continuing support, I could never have made it without you.

I STILL can't believe I get to do this for a living, and now with Maria too.

Thank you to our clients for your trust and mad loyalty, I just could not ask for better people and pups in the pack. Love you guys, here's to another year of adventure! ❤️🐾

09/20/2024

She's probably going to hate this, but I'm just so damn grateful I'm making the post anyway. 😂
Maria has been working with the pack since February, I can't believe how time is flying. But they do say time flies when you're having fun!

Maria has been so incredible with the dogs. She's so invested in what she's doing she spends her spare time reading up on dog body language and often comes to me with fun facts that I wasn't even aware of. I'll give her new dogs to walk and she susses them out with ease, and before I know it they're cruising beside her no problem.
The dogs took to Maria right away, and actually, some are wayyyy more interested in her than they are me. The best sign!

Thank you Maria, for being the best sidekick and coworker I could have asked for. Your calm and confident demeanor is just what the pack needed, and I can't wait to grow even more with you as we walk into fall and winter.

K I'm done. ❤️

It's been a hot minute since we've been able to make one of these posts. A big, little welcome to FRANKIE!! 😍🐾

This tiny angel girl is a little over a year old and is a white Pug. I can't wait for her to meet Beamer and Benz, our resident Pug brothers, I know they're going to love each other. Little Frankie is good pals with Murphy and Milo outside of the pack and has been learning from them and their mum. I love that she will already have a couple of pals to help her feel comfortable and learn the ropes. Although I have to say, on her first mini pack walk this week, she did an amazing job and was so attentive and happy to be working. A great sign! Kruze fell in love, and Layla really liked her, too. She won't have any trouble making friends!

Frankie is a little ball of energy and love, a real kind-hearted dog who just loves people and affection. Frankie is going to benefit from learning to walk alongside her friends all calmly and learning how to ignore all the exciting people who can't stop telling her how cute she is. 😂❤️ I think she will gain a lot of confidence in the big outside world on her adventures with the pack.

We are so glad you're joining us, little one, I can't wait to start introducing you to more pack members next week!

This weekend we had a gathering for our pup's parents at Mike Weir Park. ❤️🐾
It was so amazing to see everyone show up and hang out like old friends, and not just clients of the Pack, ladies from our doggy community too. I want to thank every one of you for showing up and spending your Saturday afternoon with us!! We had the best time and loved seeing some of our furry friends there too.
Maria and I are so grateful that we get to spend our days walking your dogs together. 🥰
Lastly I'd like to thank the cheese, donut and coffee bringers, you know who you are, we appreciate you so much!
Here's to another amazing year of The Bat Pack!

09/13/2024

The new vehicle has had its first week of work and the dogs are loving it. I'm so amazed at how calm they're all being back there as we cruise around to pick up our friends. Just the best dogs. ❤️

This weekend we are holding our first client get together and I am so excited! I'll try to take lots of pictures, I really do have the best support around me, and I can't wait to have everyone meet and learn about their dogs best pals from the people who know them best. And Maria gets to meet the whole gang too, I can't wait. I hope you guys have an awesome weekend as well! 🐾

A great start to the week with the pack!
I have been getting into a good groove lately with each group, something has really clicked and I've been trying to figure out why.

A little over a year ago I was bitten while out walking, it was a pretty serious bite. Maybe it sounds silly, but I hadn't even realized how badly that one event had affected my confidence. I haven't ever felt afraid of the dogs, they've been my absolute joy as always, but I did notice that I had been avoiding walking in certain areas, specifically ones I knew had off leash dogs or lots of people, unless I had my sister or Maria with me.

This morning we walked through Lambton College, and in the afternoon we walked in a new to us area, one I'm not familiar with where dogs live, how busy the pathways are etc. I felt so at ease walking with each group, even as we came across other dogs, crowds and got a ton of attention and energy thrown our way.

Just love these guys ❤️ it feels good to get that confidence back, thanks puppers. 🥰🐾

Our Wednesday pack showing off their backwards leash skills! One of the many exercises my old boss in Calgary taught me (thanks Holly! ❤️), and still one of my fave things to do with the pack. My fave part of this video is noticing the different energy levels in each pup as we do our loops! Here's a sped up version of what we were up to today. For me, I'm working on chatting less to the dogs 😂 one of the hardest habits for me to break!! #gooddogs #packlife #workinghard

Jax's good work deserved some sparkles. Good job buddy! ❤️ #goodboy #packlife #angels

I love walking brand new dogs together! It's fascinating for me to see how everyone fits in and how the pack dynamic changes. Here is Gavin, Lilly, Rue, Maverick, Blossom and Joey working together for the first time. 😍🐾 #gooddogs #packlife #bestjobever

Romeo here showing off his dropped leash heeling skills 😎 Exactly as it sounds... pop a long leash on, ask your pup to heel, then drop the leash! Why do we do this exercise in the pack?! Let me know by posting what you think in the comments below! ❤️ #goodboy #heeling #packlife #batpack

Very good dogs!! This week we are challenging ourselves to work around distractions that we would normally have to get up and walk away from. This pack was able to sit as cars, dog walkers and squirrels distracted us, they are a solid pack! #gooddogs #sitstay #packlife

It's a toasty one today!! Me and the Berners had a great morning, we spent a lot of time laying down to work on our obedience. When it's hot like this we slow things way down, but we still work hard. 😎 Here we are working on adding the distraction of me walking around the two gals, trickier for them than it looks! We tried this on grass too and I made it all the way round while they stared at me probably wondering what the heck I was up to. Such good girls!! 🥰🐾 Have a fantastic long weekend everyone! #hotdawgs #goodgirls #weekendready

Meet Zuko!! This Border Collie/Cane Corso mix has been walking with me privately the last little while, with hopes of joining the pack one day. Zuko is quite the ball of anxiety, and has trouble calming himself on walks and in the car. Today we took to an empty parking lot to work on fostering some calm energy with him, away from the busy streets. We did a lot of slow leash exercises and worked hard on our heel position which seemed to really help Zuko focus on something other than the overwhelming outside world of cars, people and more! I can't wait to update you on this sweet boy as we continue on with our training! 🥰🐾 #welcometotheteam #goodboy #yougotthis

Jetta has the Sunday sillies! She must know she is getting to meet some new dog pals soon. Here's to an amazing start to your week everyone! From, The Bat Pack 🐾 #sundayvibes #thebatpack
