One year ago, we took a dream and turned it into reality—opening the doors of Canine Communication with the vision of creating a space where dogs could learn, play, and thrive. Today, we’re celebrating one incredible year of growth, wagging tails, and the amazing community that has made it all possible!

From day one, our goal has been to create a space where dogs can thrive—building confidence, social skills, and strong bonds with their humans. Over the past year, we’ve watched nervous pups find their courage, high-energy dogs learn balance, and countless friendships form between both dogs and their owners. Seeing the progress, joy, and trust grow within our community has been the most rewarding part of this journey.

But this milestone isn’t just about us—it’s about YOU. Our amazing clients, the dedicated pet parents who trust us with their beloved pups, and the wonderful dogs who brighten our days. Thank you for your support, your belief in what we do, and for being part of this journey with us.

This is only the beginning. We have big plans for the future, and we can’t wait to continue growing with all of you. Here’s to another year of training, tail wags, and teamwork!

Drop a comment with your favorite Canine Communication memory from the past year—we’d love to hear how this place has made an impact on you and your pup!

October Dog of the Month: Gus!

Don’t let his big size fool you; Gus is one of the gentlest boys around! His goofy, silly personality makes him an easy pick for Dog of the Month, and he’s loved by all his daycare buddies. From romping around to playing with any pup who’s up for some fun, Gus is always a joy to have around. We’re so glad he’s part of our daycare family and love how he lights up our Wednesdays!

Dog of the Month: Ellie

Ellie is one half of one of our favorite duos, Ellie and Poppy. This sweet girl is truly one of the kindest souls around. She's always ready for an ear scratch and gets along effortlessly with every dog she meets. Wednesdays are always a little brighter with Ellie in our pack, and we absolutely LOVE spending time with her! 🐾💖

I have a slot open to offer a course starting next week, Thursdays at 630 pm. I am thinking of offering a trick class. This class is pure joy, teaching the dogs all kinds of fun tricks like playing dead, roll over, bow, and wave. If I have enough interest in this I'll add it to my website for booking. Comment below if you'd be interested. It would be the same as my classes normally once a week for an hour for 6 weeks.

Here’s a helpful tip for those with puppies or energetic dogs—perfect for those days when life gets too busy or you’re just not feeling your best.

This past weekend, we were hit with a summer cold, leaving our energy levels low. However, Alfred, our pup, was still full of energy. Since we couldn’t keep up with him, I turned to one of his puzzle toys. I mixed his lunch (a cup of dog food) with some Greek yogurt and stuffed it into the toy. It took him over an hour to work through it, and after all that mental stimulation, he took a long nap, which gave us much-needed rest in a house full of sick people.

Mental stimulation is an excellent way to temporarily replace physical exercise. Activities like puzzle toys can help burn off some of that puppy energy while engaging their brains, which is just as important as physical exercise. You can also freeze puzzle toys for an extended challenge by filling them with healthy treats such as Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, or peanut butter, mixed with fruits or veggies.

So, next time you find yourself short on time or stuck indoors due to weather, try this simple hack—use your dog’s regular food or favorite healthy treats in a toy that encourages problem-solving. It’ll keep your dog busy and give you a much-needed break!
