Swipe through to see our incredible day at Lions Foundation Dog Guides ()! 🐾 We were so lucky to get a behind-the-scenes look at the amazing work they do with Vision and Autism Assistant teams. The dedication and care that goes into raising these life-changing dogs is truly inspiring. Did you know it costs approximately $35,000 to train each dog, and they’re provided FREE to those in need? Huge thanks to the team for sharing their passion with us!

Also, if you’re in Toronto, mark May 23rd for the annual Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides in High Park! We’ll be participating again this year to fundraise to support Lions Foundation Dog Guides’ lifechanging work.

🐶 LAST CALL for Canine Stress Solution 🐶

🐾 If your dog is constantly on edge, finds new environments overwhelming, struggles to relax even at home, and is chronically stressed, give your dog the gift of a calmer, more resilient, and enjoyable life through this ten week online coaching program.

Many Small Changes, Three Big Transformations:
🐾 Greater peace and quiet at home, with less pacing, hypervigilance, startling, and barking. Both you and your dog will be less stressed in the one place that should be relaxing – your home!
🐾 More options for going outside to more places, where both you and your dog will enjoy the outings, instead of returning back home more stressed or upset
🐾 Ability to engage in more forms of exercise, because as your dog’s world opens up, more options to let them move freely become available

Don’t wait — secure your spot today and see the positive change in your dog! 🚀🐕

Elevate Playtime with Essential Toys & Expert Training!

At our Fall Quarterly Skills Development meeting in Toronto, we teamed up with Karin Apfel from DogSmart Detection Training to dive into the best ways to play with our pups. 🐶✨

Here are 3 Essential Dog Toys You Need:

- Pillow-Shaped Toy: Soft and snuggly for comfort, reducing anxiety while being gentle on teeth and gums.

- Snake/Rope Toy - Tough and tuggable, perfect for energetic dogs who love tug-of-war. Strengthen your bond through interactive play!

- Ball on a String Toy: Ideal for active dogs, boosting exercise, enhancing recall skills, and improving agility and focus.

Why These Toys?
Using the right toys not only keeps your dog happy and healthy but also turns playtime into a powerful training tool. Karin shared techniques to ensure toy-motivated dogs bring their favorites back, making play both fun and reinforcing for obedience training. 🏆❤️
