Both my dogs get as much affection as they want. They share the sofa with us, often cuddling right on top of me. Logan has been sleeping on the bed with us since he was 8 months old. I don’t worry that any of that is going to cause behaviour problems. The only time that I would tell a someone not to do these things is if there was a dangerous or potentially harmful situation, such as resource guarding, if there’s people that might be uncomfortable, kids that need more space; if your dog didn’t want these things; if your quality of sleep or health was being impacted; or if it’s your preference not to have dogs on the furniture. But if none of these things apply, enjoy!
A gentle reminder at this time of year 🎊Fa La La La La La... Trigger stacking!
🍁🍂 or 💩💩
Anyone else play this game regularly now? You watch them go… Pinpoint the spot in your mind, 3 steps from the lowest branch on the 5th tree to your right, where the orange leaf meets the patch of scrappy grass… You walk over to the spot…And then it’s 5 minutes of is it 🍁🍂 or 💩💩 until you find it. 😂🙄anyone else?
A little bit about me
How many times do we know the names of the dogs we follow on social, but not much about the people behind the pictures?
Let’s get to know each other a bit better, shall we?
5 things about me
- the first animals I trained were gerbils (although it might have been small turtles)
- I’ve lived in Canada, the Philippines and Indonesia
- when I’m stressed I have nightmares about highschool math exams or being trapped in out of control cars
- I’d choose smoked salmon over bacon
- two years ago I moved my business to Prince Edward County, travelling back and forth to Mississauga, but we just moved to live in the area full time!
I’d love to hear something about you, tell me something I don’t know about you - the human behind the dog!

Everything was Golden yesterday! The rain came and went, and people still stopped by and helped support Golden Rescue. We met lots of new people, offered free Nail Filing mini demos, got lots of golden retriever love and had a great time! Also there @tinygreenpaw (delicious treats!) and @roxellascreations (adorable handmade collars, bandannas and bow ties). Thank you for having us @sugarbushwines and @goldenrescuecanada! #goldenretriever #retriever #rescuegolden #rescuedog #goldenrescue #princeedwardcounty #pec #wellingtonontario #belleville #picton #thecounty #countywines #dogdays #positivereinforcement #nobreedneedsaheavyhand #forcefree #ontariorescue #fearfreecertifiedprofessional #fearfree

What a show Mother Nature put on tonight.

Definitely couldn’t make out this level of detail with my eyes.
So beautiful.
Reading the science behind it, the auroras were caused by a severe geomagnetic storm during which “three separate coronal mass ejections (CMEs) merging into one as they approach Earth. A CME is a burst of plasma and magnetic field released from the Sun’s blazing hot outer atmosphere.” @noaa for more info
Wednesdays Play and Learn Crew
Our charming Wednesday afternoon crew is always ready to show off their good manners.
Our small group Play and Learn sessions match dogs by temperament, size and age, and is supervised by a Fear Free Certified Daycare and Boarding professional. They spend their day in safe play groups, practicing basic manners and brain games, and getting important rest.
We have a few slots open for Wednesdays and Fridays (bigger dogs). Assessment and trial session required. DM for information.
