Miss Maeve went home last week!💥
•
She had a great Go-Home session where she showed off all her new on and off leash skills for her dad!
•
During our time together, Maeve and I focused on building up her general arsenal of skills including on leash walking, recall, basic obedience and her people and dog social skills.
Maeve struggles with over arousal and over excitement so navigating through those feelings became the centre point of our training.
•
The more labs I work with the more I absolutely see myself owning one! The zest, the potential, the power - all extremely rewarding qualities!😍
What a fun way to start the Board and Train year!

Kyle and I have decided to take a small step back from our boarding program this year. We have decided to make our boarding EXCLUSIVELY available to our clients only, and will be closing our books for new client intake for this year.
If you have boarded with us previously or are a current or previous client in any of our other programs, our boarding will still be accessible to you!🩵
•
We have also decided to limit the number of boarded dogs at one time to 5. This is to provide more support and attention to each dog to be able to better fulfill their individual needs. This means we will fill up much faster, so if you have dates, definitely get them in asap 😉
•
The past two years have been very boarding focused and although we have loved the journey we have decided to take a small step back in order to focus more on other programs.🩵
•
Thank you all for your ongoing love and support of The Canine Hub!🩵

Correcting my “reactivity” is never going to work.
•
Border collies, along with many other herding breeds are sadly often out of place in today’s world. Their careful breeding over 100’s of years created a fantastic CONTROL FREAK. A control freak with a deep rooted and meaningful purpose and game changing abilities.
•
Designed to REACT to movement.
Designed to be HYPER AWARE to change.
•
Reactivity in herding dogs is very often rooted in these “problems”.
•
I am not saying don’t correct them for chasing cars or nipping your children’s heels, absolutely do! That s**t is not okay!
But..
Take a moment to realize where it might be coming from and promise them that you will do better in helping them find that APPROPRIATE outlet that you signed up for when you brought a Border Collie home.

After 2 years we are finally raising our boarding prices for 2025!
For Holiday rates we identify as all star holidays and their associated weekends - for example a stat Monday would include the Saturday and Sunday day rates as well.
Over Christmas we identify the Holiday period as December 20th - January 6th. This is our two week break as well.
We are also being more diligent with our pick up and drop off times!
Please drop off your dog between 8am-9am for boarding. This is so we can start your dogs stay with us with a hike! We find that dogs who arrive later in the day have a harder time settle than those dropped off in the morning!
For pick up, ideally between 3pm-5pm. Alternate times for pick up can be arranged upon request.
As before, we charge a day rate for boarding so it does not change your bill what time you pick up your dog😊
•
Thank you so much for your continued support of our programs! We cannot wait to see you all in the New Year!✨

We are out!✨
•
Kyle and I want to thank everyone for such an amazing year! It has been our best year yet in many different avenues so thank you so much to the wonderful community; all the people and dogs who made that possible!💫
Crystalee will still be running our pack hikes program over the majority of the holidays and we have a handful of boarding dogs at the house for the holidays but other than that we are officially on pause until January 6th! All inquiries and emails (unless they are urgent) will be answered in the New Year!
•
Thank you so much for your continued support over this year - we have had a blast!✨
Merry Christmas and we will see you bright and early in 2025 for another fantastic year!
Love,
Flo & Kyle

I saw a post recently created by that resonated with me. It said that dog trainers cannot just fix your problems, they are coaches and to make a real change it is up to you.
This definitely struck a cord for me as a trainer because it is deeply rooted in me to “fix things” and cases and figuring out the best training plans for people genuinely can keep my brain racing at night.
But it’s true - the REAL change and progress is made when the person takes ownership and responsibility for their dog.
Just as though you have the best work out/ fitness instructor in the world but you STILL aren’t the weight/look/level you want to be until you actually get up in the morning with the INTENTION to make a change in yourself. No one can do that for you.
•
The best clients, the best dogs come from people who truly truly try, listen to and follow advice and put their best foot forward each and every day with their dog. Thats where true growth happens 🌱
