Winnie’s Day Train!
Meet Winnie, a young girl who can be a little unsure when faced with new things & unfamiliar environments. This past Friday, our focus was on building trust, pairing basic skills with relationship work, & boosting her confidence—an essential piece of the puzzle for a more balanced & secure dog.
She still has a journey ahead, but she made great strides, & I couldn’t be prouder of her progress! Way to go, Winnie!

🚀 Last week, Ripley & I had an action-packed Day Train session with a big focus on recall! 🐾
Our goal? Helping her master coming back when called, even in those oh-so-distracting environments. From busy spots to quiet corners, Ripley did amazing! Along the way, we even came across a couple of dogs who had come out into their yards—perfect for real-life practice.
This video shows how she handled it like a champ! 🎥👏

Monday night, I had the pleasure of meeting this adorable 15-week-old Pittie! 🐾 She’s full of sweetness & loves to work, but her mom needed a little help with a couple of challenges - like teaching her 'down' & curbing some mouthy behavior.
I shared a few tips & tricks to get them back on track, & this smart girl caught on quickly! With consistency & practice, I’m confident she’ll be a superstar in no time 💪✨
Training is all about building trust & communication - & watching a team grow together like this is the best part of what I do 💕
🐾 Red Deer Pack Walk Recap! 🐾

Sometimes problem-solving takes a little extra creativity. Check out my neighbor's dog giving it 110% to retrieve his toy off the top of the kennel LOL Complete with some licking, intense thinking, & a whole lot of determination! 😂
It’s the perfect reminder to never give up... or at least keep things entertaining while you try! What’s the funniest thing your dog has done? Let us know below! 👇🐾
