🐾 Meet the Trainer! 🐾

Lauren has been a professional dog walker for just over two years, but her love for dogs goes way back. Growing up with dogs, she always knew she wanted to work with them, and walking them every day has only deepened that passion. For Lauren, it’s not just about exercise—it’s about creating a fun, safe, and positive experience for every dog.

Curious about training and behavior, Lauren has been learning with experienced trainers to make each walk even more enjoyable and rewarding. From playful puppies to steady seniors, she loves meeting every dog where they’re at and building trust along the way. 🐶💛

When she’s not out on the trails, you’ll usually find her hiking, camping, or exploring new places—rain or shine! 🌲☀️

We’re thrilled to welcome Lauren to the team! Drop a 👋 to say hi!I

What is Positive Reinforcement Really?

There’s a lot of talk in the dog world about positive reinforcement training, but what does that really mean?

Positive reinforcement is defined as adding something positive after a desired behaviour, increasing the likelihood it will happen again in future.

Real-life examples of this would look like giving a dog a treat after they sit, or tossing the ball for a dog after they drop it at your feet. Food and toys are the most common reinforcers used in training, though they are definitely not the only ways you can reinforce behaviour.

In the training world, positive reinforcement is also used as a term to distinguish trainers who do not use aversive methods (using pain or fear to motivate dogs) from those who do. Some other common terms used for positive reinforcement trainers are Force-Free and R+.

Yesterday was National Pet Fire Safety Day. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for an emergency and prevent accidents.

🚨 Have an emergency kit with enough supplies to last for 7 days. This should be in a place that is easy to access.

🚨 Affix a pet alert window cling and write down the number and type of pets inside your house and attach the static cling to a front window. This critical information saves rescuers time when locating your pets.

🚨 Keep electrical chords away from pets who are inclined to chew things.

🚨Never leave pets unattended around candles, fireplaces and space heaters.

🚨Ensure all smoke detectors are in working order.
