Happy International Women's Day! Today, and every day, I want to celebrate the strength and beauty that is woman. I want to give a big shout out to all of my fellow "sisters" this International Woman's Day! We have come so far and have so much more to do!

Exercise and socialization is extremely important to dogs. Yes, not all dogs are suitable for off leash socialization experiences, but if they are, daycare is such an amazing way to fulfill their need for exercise, socialization and play!
Off leash dog parks are not really the best option as dogs are not screened for health, behavioural issues and temperament, and often owners do not properly train their dogs for proper dog park etiquette. This is why a controlled environment (without the dogs owners), such as daycare is an amazing option!
is a high quality facility that is very clean and the employees are experienced and knowledgeable in working with dogs from a training standpoint. They offer both daycare and boarding options to suit your needs! Give them a shout, your dog will love you for it!
HUGE SALE!! Early leap year special on now!

The last 4 years have been fun! Add in 2 rounds of maternity leave and 2 years of government lockdowns/restrictions, I wasn't able to help as many dogs and their humans as I would have loved too, but I still got to meet some pretty awesome people and their pups!
If you've taken classes between now and 2020, check out these recently updated albums and see if you can find your dogs! Feel free to tag you and your pups and leave an update, I'd love to see how things are going!!

Sooooo you may have been wondering why I have been a little quiet lately on the training front. This is why :) meet our newest little blessing! Navigating the world as a mom of a baby, preschooler and senior dog has kept life busy and interesting. I am looking forward to slowly start getting back into helping people with their canine companions soon.Thank you all for your patience and support during the last few months!
Stay tuned for a special class announcement!

Wanted to have a little fun with my girly tonight at feeding time. My guys get raw beef, raw chicken and raw organ meat. My Miley lives for food (lab side of her!) and she loves makin her momma (me) happy! Training doesn't just need to happen during walks or in classes.... you don't need to dedicate hours... spend time challenging your dog and having fun! This was the first time I ever tested Miley like this. I always make her wait for food but I have never got her to stop eating between pieces. She wasn't perfect, but I will never expect perfection. All I expect is for her to try her best and be happy. No treat bribes or physical force needed. Just pure love and willingness!
My advanced class last night working on proper socialization skills. Socialization doesn't mean dogs have to physically be playing with each other. Simply teaching your dogs to be calm and respectful around other dogs is key. About a dozen people and their dogs -- all of which are extremely happy and excitable dogs -- are able to work on their calmness and control. Two dogs who are reactive to each other because they don't really get along, are laying next to each other, showing that dogs do not need to like each other to be calm, happy and respectful. Two other dogs next to each other are very high energy and very excitable always trying to get at each other, again teaching them that they don't always get what they want and it's not always play time. Practice control, respect and calmness with your dogs -- you will be happy and you are less likely to have to deal with reactivity or aggression issues in the future! Great job everyone!!
Hands down happiest dog ever!! Storm the staffy, my lil love bug! His tail is uncontrollable and smiles infectious! Known this guy since a wee baby and now hes all grown up and in his 4th class with me, this is tricks class -- all about fun!
Advanced class working on their shadow handling :) all 4 dogs are easily distracted and highly sociable ... all 8 pylons have treats on top of them including real liver. Such a huge improvement from their beginner class days! Makes me proud! Great work guys!
Some fun "amateur" video from the tricks class! Owners having fun with their dogs showing off their best tricks from the course! Lots of doggy friendships were made this class ;) If you think this looks fun, you too can join in the fall! For all up to date classes you can visit my website www.tessdogtraining.com
My tricks class showing off their bows! Let's all give then a round of applause ;) Tricks class will be offered again in the fall, so stay tuned!! This is all about fun, fun, fun with your dog. Shaping whatever you feel is their best motion, that's why it is more of a freestyle type class :)
In April, I offered my first ever tricks class as there was demand from clients. It was so much fun and the dogs did great! We shaped many fun behaviours over the course of the 6 weeks in this freestyle type class. I will be offering this class again in the fall for those who are interested! Here is Lucy mastering the PRAY trick! This was all done in stages over the 6 weeks before getting her to pray on the chair. Lucy has the best "Dad" for the job and they both know how to have fun in class!
3rd class in for the advanced class from last night. First time trying the off leash walking! Thought I'd keep the distractions out and they all did quite well :) great job guys! Classes are all about having fun! Proper leash skills are not about forcing your dog to stay next to you, it's about teaching them to follow. That is how both dog and handler go about respecting each other β‘
Lil Peanut and his Mom Stacey! Peanut was first being fostered and cared for by Stacey because he came into Jenns Furry Friends Rescue severely injured and skinny a few months ago. After an amputation, some good food and lots of TLC Peanut has excelled through his beginner obedience class with me and is one smart happy lil man! Love happy endings!
