Hi everyone! It's been a little while since you've heard from me as I've been in Greenstone, Ontario (13 hours north!) for family matters. I will be coming back to Whitby for the March Break, but then it's back up north for me until the summer.
If you're interested in scheduling a lesson or two while I'm in the Durham region, feel free to reach out via text at 289-923-7379 or email me at [email protected], and I can get you booked in!
There is a local and fabulously talented young dog trainer named Taia, who is the daughter of proud Brooklin mama Kaylen Dillon. 16-year-old Taia needs your help winning a contest that would allow her to become an apprentice at Stunt Dog School!
Check out her video starring Fable & Willow, and vote for her every day! Loooove it! ๐คฉ๐พ

๐พ Learning how to train a dog is a beautiful process that relies on communication, trust, and nurturing a strong relationship. Many dogs demonstrate unwavering loyalty, willing to put their lives on the line for us. They function as both diligent workers and cherished companions.
โค๏ธ vs ๐ Unfortunately, sometimes we underestimate the impact that our dog's can have on our lives. The pain of losing them can be profound, akin to losing a dear friend. Despite this sorrow, the happiness they bring shines even brighter. Even amid moments of frustration, we acknowledge their innocence and our role in any perceived shortcomings. And thus, we remain by their side, as steadfastly as they remain by ours.
โจ Loving a dog is a magical experience. It's an unselfish act that also contains a hint of selfishness. You develop a profound connection, akin to a parent-child relationship. You provide protection, guidance, and exposure to the world. All of this stems from your personal desire, without any obligation. However, in the tapestry of companionship, remember this: just as they need you, there are times when you deeply, unequivocally, need themโa beautiful testament to the intertwined significance of your journey together.
You're aware that you chose this dog, making them your own. You hold deep affection for them, and while some might consider it eccentric, you're certain of their love for you as well.
As you continue to navigate this shared adventure, let the unbreakable bond between you and your dog be a constant reminder of the profound connection that enriches both your lives in ways beyond measure.
๐พ I love my dogs. So, so much. And it's okay if you love yours too.

In the world of our bond with dogs, let's remember the profound importance of playing and exploring alongside obedience training. These moments forge strong connections, building trust and love. Playtime brings mental and physical stimulation, nurturing their well-being, while socialization and relief from stress and boredom shape their behavior. So, let's fully embrace these joyful moments, creating a life of complete fulfillment for our beloved companions...and don't forget it's okay to be silly sometimes! #playistheway #itsoktobesillyattimes

Hugo the Portuguese Water Dog has been doing a wonderful job learning reliable obedience in the Well-Mannered Dog private lesson program. His family has been consistent with his training, exercise and mental stimulation, which has made Hugo a lovely house pet. Hugo also enjoys our Private Dog Walking, where he gets to have fun and maintain his newly learned skills!
