Congratulations to the snazzy new trick dogs who completed their course, with Roxy earning both her Intermediate AND Advanced Trick Dog titles! Obi learned how to serenade us with his joyful piano playing skills, and Luna learned how to put her own toys away!

Charlie has been working hard on some body conditioning exercises pulling from both his obedience and tricks foundations. He has developed exceptional problem solving skills, and the confidence to try anything we put in front of him...as long as it doesn't require him moving faster than the majestic potato that he is. 😂 🥰

Bramble, Mischa, Joona, and Ryker completed their Introduction to Scent course, and in the excitement I forgot to get their pictures!! My apologies!

Here is the shiny new course calendar with what is available in April and May.

I've had a few people reach out about the Remedial Socialization course, and do have a preregistration list started. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to be added to this list. **A minimum of one private session is required to enroll for this course.

If you are looking for a good time for a great cause, there are a few spots left in our fundraising event this Sunday. All proceeds are going to support Hobo Haven Rescue!

Jess and I will be there with bells on and treats ready!

This Monday definitely calls for some warm, feel good moments! Here are some of the incredible dogs and their humans to bring the sunshine to this dreary day!

The Active Enrichment group is showing off their spectacular art, coming soon to a gallery near you! Their choreography was equally amazing, but sadly no video evidence exists...

Charlie is revisiting his distance work, showing here his send to mark with automatic sit, and down stay.

This Life Skills and Obedience group was a little different, as a couple of the pups were very recent rescues, just learning how to 'dog'. This was such a fabulously supportive collection of people, all working together building confidence and maintaining engagement with their people around distractions. These group pictures may not seem like much, but when dogs who were previously terrified of other dogs and people are comfortable asking to move in closer to the group, it's a pretty great moment!

We also had a wonderful Puppy Foundations group wrap up that I missed getting graduation pictures of! Bailey, Aussie, and Reggie - you must have distracted me with puppy charms!!

Sabian would like to know if there are any pups out there who share his love of music??

This handsome dude is likely one of the most creative thinkers to walk into the training hall! Put something new in front of him, and he will find a way to entertain himself (and us) and often develop his own tricks! Over our 6 weeks together he earned his Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced Trick Dog titles! Every week was an absolute blast! Sabian is his own party, we were lucky enough to be invited.

Congratulations to our recent group course graduates! These are a few of the wonderful people and dogs that wow'd me with their dedication and commitment! I'm so impressed with your effort, and everything you accomplished in just 4 weeks!!

Siris (handsome brindle in the red harness) joined us from Hobo Haven Rescue, and is available for adoption. Someone is going to be incredibly lucky to share their life with this special guy. Click the link below for his full profile.

And this whole time I've had the boring explanation that dogs are very likely aware that we are not in fact, dogs. 😏

In the event that anyone tries to convince you otherwise, please refer them to point #5. 💩

Hibernating has some benefits, like spending time organizing the next calendar!

The Active Enrichment course beginning next week has had one spot become available, so if you are looking for a fun way to connect with your dog and get that energy out (while staying warm), this might be just the thing for you!

Happy Friday from our newest ATD title holder, Charlie, who celebrated his 4 year 'Gotcha Day' with his phenomenal forever family this past week! 💙

Behaviour therapy isn't just counter conditioning, desensitization, developing effective management and coping techniques (etc)... It's strengthening relationships, building confidence and communication, and having fun! Pulling concepts from CBPT, the benefits of including enrichment in behaviour therapy plans are game changing.

We're baaaack!! I hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the company of at least one dog over the holidays!

Every new year I take the opportunity to freshen up the website with new pictures. If you would like to show off your spectacular pup, please feel free to send a picture via DM/messenger/text/email/carrier pigeon/etc.

Requirements:
* They need to have attended either private or group session(s) or are currently enrolled.
* All pictures need to comply with Mapleton Bark's training philosophy. If they wouldn't wear it to the training hall, I can't use it, no matter how perfect it is.
* By submitting your photo, you are agreeing to your picture(s) being used for marketing purposes.

Thank you for a wonderful whirlwind of a year!

This group truly reminded me why I love what I do. They proved that work and play are not mutually exclusive, working their hardest to achieve their goals, while not passing up any opportunity for a laugh or to support each other! I am beyond glad that I got to spend time with such amazing people and dogs!

Puppies make every day better! This group (including Hank, who we missed the last class), was an absolute blast with some high octane friends! Being able to witness the relationship and skill development is beyond amazing. I can't wait to see what's next for these pups and their human sidekicks! You guys are awesome, and I'm so proud of the effort you put in!

19/11/2024

Charlie and Bobby are here to remind you to never give up on your goals!

These handsome guys have been working hard with the absolute dedication of their humans to help them learn new life skills and change associations that are not working for them. Supporting a dog with big feelings is hard, progress is not linear, and I am so so proud of these families for standing with their best friends every step of the way.

Both the Adolescent Life Skills, and Obedience Level 1 groups completed their courses last week. Here are a few of their wonderful faces! I am so, so lucky to get to collaberate with the people and dogs that I do every day. These groups absolutely inspired me by the dedication they showed to building their relationships with their dogs as they learned new skills together. 🥰

29/10/2024

I can't believe it, but here we are...the preliminary course calendar for 2025. 🫣

Scent, Active Enrichment, and Trick courses will be added next in a preemptive push back against winter blahs.

There is one space left in the L1 Obedience course beginning November 25 at 6:30PM

I will also be hosting a Puppy Paint Night Fundraiser with all proceeds going to support our friends
Details coming soon!!

What better way to celebrate a sunny Friday than with some masterpieces and their creators?! I love all things enrichment, and every moment I got to spend with this fabulous group for our Active Enrichment course was incredible. I hope they remember me when they're famous. 🥰😉

These incredible pups and their human sidekicks (including Jemi, who wasn't able to attend graduation night, but watching her progress was nothing short of amazing!) were an absolute inspiration to work with! They represented an incredible mix of personalities and building towards different goals, but the unwavering dedication and determination of their guardians was truly awesome. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to spend that time with you all! Bonus thank you to Floki for the giggle as he channelled his inner pancake after working so hard! 🥰
