New Discoveries Dog Training will be hosting our first CARO Rally Obedience Trial June 21-22, 2025 in Black Creek.

To add some extra FUN to the June Rally Trial there will be a raffle table and I am collecting prize donations to help make it successful! The proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Elderdog Canda Inc. There is a local Elderdog Pawd in Courtenay that has an amazing group of volunteers doing some great work for those in our dog community.
You can check out their website for more info on their programs at

🥜 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴’𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴?
𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗽 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆. 👇

Peanut butter is tasty, yes… but it’s 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲-𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲, sticks to your dog’s teeth (👎 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵), and makes them 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝘆 — not ideal if they’re crated and can’t relieve themselves for hours.

👉 𝟭 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗻 = ~𝟵𝟱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀
That adds up fast — and many dogs get more than that per day in their Kong.

🔍 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝟭 𝘁𝗯𝘀𝗽 x 𝟳 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀) — 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵, 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 your dog’s body can actually use for health and longevity.

𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗕 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀:
🍗 Chicken breast, ground beef, egg = 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻
🥦 Broccoli, blueberries = 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
🍎 Applesauce, yogurt = 𝗽𝗿𝗲- & 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘇𝘇𝗹𝗲? 🧩
𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱:
✔️ Plain yogurt with berries
✔️ Pumpkin
✔️ Unsweetened applesauce
✔️ Dog-friendly baby food blends
✔️ Or freeze a combo for longer fun!

💡 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴’𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵.

I am a Certified Training Partner of the Karen Pryor Academy.

Since our founding in 2001, Karen Pryor Clicker Training has been dedicated to teaching effective, force-free training rooted in the science of behavior. Our mission is to foster a community of positive reinforcement trainers who value collaboration and the thoughtful application of training and behavior science.

We don't teach positively just because we're nice—but because we deeply understand the fallout and consequences of punishment in training. As such, we do not incorporate aversive tools like shock or prong collars in behavior change plans, and their use is not permitted in our programs.

Our commitment to positive reinforcement is grounded in both compassion and evidence.
