Hello from Walter the West Highland Terrier puppy. So much great stuff to learn, from toileting, to nipping, calmness to walking and how to set up your management. We can help you with all things puppy and more.

Did you know the Chow Chow has blue-black tongue? The reason is unknown but is only one of 2 breeds with this distinguishing feature.

Getting some puppy love! Sally the beautiful Samoyed is working on her recall.

What a beautiful boy. Rescued to a loving home who is working with me to help him settle better. Did you know the guidelines of 3 for rescue dogs to feel adjusted? 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months? So since he is still in the early days, we are doing lots of relationship building and confidence games.

still really appreciate your beautiful drawing of my dogs.

Mable the English bulldog after our session! Some changes in the household meant she took her stress out on her sister. Learning how to empty the stress bucket and gain confidence as well as managing the two dogs was the plan of action. This is resulting in the two not fighting and getting back to what used to be their normal of enjoying each other.

The youngest member of the team at the moment. This is 10 week old Luna and we are working on training her to be a little independent and ok to be away from her human mum as well as to sleep during the day. She likes to be by her mum’s feet so sleeping no more than just a few cat naps here and there because if mum moves she moves!

Indigo is doing a great job getting used to her new family and surroundings. We are doing some training to help her feel more at ease when outdoors. She loves the training games. So much mental stimulation that she was tuckered out after our session.

Teaching how to settle on a boundary (also known as bed/place/spot/ mat) has so many uses, including sitting calmly on a rock to pose for photos! These are my boys Rocky the GoldenDoodle and Murphy the Beagle.

Teaching Toby how to relax has helped in his overnight potty accidents.

Ozzy learning to go to ‘place’. Learning to go to a designated place such as a dog bed helps grow calmness in everyday life. It also a great way to stop counter surfing; begging at the dinner table; great manners around visitors and kids; settling when in the house or out and about and the list goes on! Contact us if you too would like your dog to learn to relax on their beds!

Charlie chose her place to be the laundry basket when she was little. So it is my first time teaching ‘place’ using a laundry basket rather than a dog bed. Also my first King Charles Cavalier. She is the sweetest little thing and learns very quickly.

Harper did a brilliant training session learning how to walk on leash. All indoors initially to help her learn with no distractions. Next session we will try outdoors after some focus games first.

Proudly sponsoring Riley’s 5km walk for cancer care. This is something Riley started at the age of 14 back in 2021 when he decided to convert the school project they were given (on understanding what goes into a fundraiser) into a real life event. Since the age of 7 he helped fundraiser for cancer and this is him stepping it up big time from those original lemonade stalls he used to do. Way to go Riley. If you would like to participate as a walker (why not get a group of friends and create a team?) or vendor check out their site https://ottawacancer.akaraisin.com/ui/rileyswalk2023. I will be there as a vendor on the day, so come on by and say hello.

Rosita - newly rescued. Still very shy as she gets to understand her new surroundings. At this stage it is all about gaining her trust, gaining confidence and very low pressure interactions. She has a lovely new family who is doing so well with her and understand that a little time is needed for her to settle in before she showers them with love and fun.

thank you again for this gorgeous portrait of Rocky.

Thank you to for this beautiful portrait of Murphy. Love it!

Bed training - so useful to get dogs to calm or to stay when other things are going on.

My Murphy turns 1. Rocky helps his brother celebrate. Notice the difference in eating etiquette after a patiently waiting for the photograph to be taken. Here is to many more wonderful years.

My first Bassett Hound that I have worked with. Meet the 11 week old Milo. Just look at those droopy eyes and ears. So cute.

05/07/2022

Luna is just adorable. She has been working on general puppyhood manners and recall games. She is rocking it!

04/07/2022

Little Ruby was so confident with all the games we played. She was loving the ball pit and needed no extra encouragement to play and even lie down playing with the balls. What a great start to life.

29/06/2022

Baxter the Bernadoodle learning to be calm. He is always in the go and does not know how to settle easily. Today he did great at settling on his bed. We are also working on recall.

Loki the husky lab mix is such a happy chap. He is going to love the games based learning.

Murphy enjoyed his first ever swim - went right in after Rocky with no hesitation. Loved rolling in the grass afterwards to dry off. #beagle #swimmingdog #goldendoodle #ottawadogs #ottawadogtrainer

Murphy’s first encounter with a little bit of carrot. Not sure whether it was a toy or food - cute!

Who would have thought that this rescue Schnauzer would finally conquer her fear of stairs this week. The confidence and optimism games finally paid off and she has the freedom of the yard when she wants it now that she can access it. #dogtraininggameswork #ottawadogtraining #ottawadogtrainer #barrhavendogtrainer #nomorefear
