Here is some more content of sweet Alfie nailing his e-collar intro a couple weeks back! We solidified his recall away from numerous distractions and grew his confidence around other dogs! Thanks to this amazing training tool, Alfie enjoyed his first off leash hike and many stress free interactions with other dogs♥️

Ryder has come such a long way since being trained and then fostered after being put up for adoption to find him a better suited home. This amazing dog has been a little left out to dry until we came into his life. After completing his training program and showing us what he was capable of, we divided to take him on as a rescue after his owner agreed to surrender him to us.
With lots of patience, we waited until the perfect family finally came along… we are so happy to announce that Ryder has been adopted to the best suited home and will continue growing more confident in himself and his new handlers.

We couldn’t be happier for this sweet boy and after spending numerous months bonding and loving him, it’s a bitter sweet goodbye as he starts this new journey!🏡♥️🐾

This little girl is Winnie and she is mini bichonpoo! She did a session package with her four legged brother to work on puppy training with the whole family. We went over potty training, socialization, crate training, and creating a proper routine with the pups to create good habits and teach them how to behave in the house.🐾
Everyone in the household is on the same page with these pups and I am thoroughly impressed how fast dogs can learn when everyone in the household is involved in the process.💕

When Tony arrived, it was clear he was the most rambunctious pup of his whole litter! He was bouncing off the walls and oozing with confidence compared to his siblings😂 It’s funny to see the difference in personalities that can all come out of the same two parents and it clarifies that dogs are only defined by their breed to a certain extent but individual personalities is what makes them who they truly are. Some dogs are more reserved and suspicious, some dogs are more outgoing and playful… just like people!

I had so much fun training Tony and steering his wonderful personality into the right direction💕🌟

Rocky the babysitter🥹 This boy is stepping into his role as guardian whole heartedly!
Living together with my niece has been a joy and watching Rocky navigate around an infant in the home is amazing to watch. There is so much that goes into setting everyone up for success when cohabitating together.
Rocky learned he can’t jump on the couch when the baby is up there, he can’t play with her toys, he can’t lick her face, he can’t be over excited when she’s on the floor…
But what he can do is, watch her in the play pen, check on her when she cries, and help keep her safe… he loves his new job and does it well!💕

On the flip side, we are respecting Rocky’s space as much as he is respecting the babies… I see sooo many videos on line on people invading a dogs space, ignoring their body language, irritating them and making them uncomfortable and blatantly disrespecting the dogs tolerance for babies in their space. We are careful never bring the baby into his space when he doesn’t want to interact and listen to his communication is he were to ever show discomfort.

We can only expect a good dog if we are good to them!

This little one came to me as a blank slate, curious about everything but unsure where to start. Over the last month, we focused on building confidence and setting the foundation for a happy, balanced life. He learned how to walk politely on leash, relax in his crate, come when called, and find calm in new environments. Watching him figure out the world, one “first” at a time, was such a joy. He’s now off thriving with his forever family, ready to take on every new adventure life brings his way.🥹💕

Rocky and I had a bitter sweet goodbye with our best friend before we headed out for the winter. Barn days with my mare Paris have always been our happy place enjoying the trails, romps through the paddock, and sharing carrots together!♥️ it is equally mine and Rocky’s favourite pass time and way to blow off steam… and we miss her sooo much when we leave every winter🐴♥️🐾

Chance is a sweet boy we rescued from a kill shelter earlier this summer. We brought him into our rescue here in Canada and he was adopted super quickly due to his incredibly good looks! He has super dedicated adopters who worked on training with him since the moment he arrived home. The number one thing we spent time training on was separation anxiety! Growing the boys confidence independently and working on crate training and giving him enough exercise and enrichment to get him in a calm state of mind, etc. we set him up for success by mastering one thing at a time, leash manners, recall, obedience, socialization, confidence building, place and crate, impulse control… it all comes together to create a balanced dog who can settle in the home alone.
