This adorable puppy, named Mario, completed our in-home “Puppy Education & Training” program.

The family has children, and we trained Mario to remain calm and not chase them when they ran around; he did a fantastic job.

This gorgeous dog’s name is Athena. She is a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix. She took our “Living Peacefully With Your Dog” training program. One of the behaviors Athena was trained to do was to walk calmly next to a baby stroller. She is doing a wonderful job and is making family outings more enjoyable.

Faith is a beautiful (short for Tortoiseshell/Tabby) cat.

Whenever I made my bed, she would jump up on the blankets, making it difficult to straighten the sheets and blankets out.

I trained her to “sit/stay” on the floor while I make my bed, and she learned this extremely fast.

Cats can be trained to listen to us!

Miles is a sweet and handsome mix with anxiety, but with positive training and love from his new family, he is now happier and calmer.

It's heartbreaking to see so many Facebook posts almost daily about dogs and cats that have gone missing.

For your pet's safety, consider GPS tags or collars that track their whereabouts. Most options use cellphone apps and have varying prices, with some offering monthly memberships. It will give you peace of mind.

Breakaway collars provide added security, especially for dogs in fenced yards. Always remove collars or harnesses when crating your dog to prevent potential choking hazards. Cats should only wear breakaway collars.

Walk with me; don’t just walk me. Slow down and see the world as I do. I know you’ve got things to do, places to be. But out here, with the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us, there’s a whole world worth noticing.

The autumn chill is in the air today, crisp and full of new smells. It’s different from yesterday, and different from the day before. Every day is new. The leaves crunch under my paws, and I stop to breathe in the rich, earthy scent of them. To you, it might just be a pile of leaves, but to me, it’s a story—one I can’t help but dive into, nose first.

There’s a squirrel somewhere nearby, I can sense it, darting up a tree, its tiny heart beating fast. And the wind carries whispers of things far away: a family cooking dinner, the trace of a cat that passed by early this morning, and the faint perfume of flowers holding on to their last bit of summer. It’s all here, swirling around us if you just take the time to notice.

You tug on the leash, eager to move on, and I can tell you’re thinking about something far away from here. But when we walk, truly walk, you and I can be in this moment together. Feel the cool air brush against your skin, let it wake you up. Notice how the sun filters through the branches, casting shadows that dance on the pavement. Hear the crunch of the leaves beneath our steps, like a secret rhythm just for us.

To you, it might be just another walk, a daily routine to tick off the list. But for me, every step is an adventure. Each scent is a clue, each sound a piece of a puzzle. When you walk with me, really walk with me, you’ll see it too. The world is bigger than what we’re rushing toward. It’s right here, in the small moments, in the quiet spaces between your thoughts.

So, slow down. Breathe. Let the chill fill your lungs and the colours fill your eyes. Walk with me, don’t just walk me. See the world as I do, if only for a little while. It’s all waiting for you, just beneath the surface.

Griffey is an adorable mix. We did some training with him yesterday, to focus on us instead of barking at a dog across the street. He did an excellent job!

This adorable puppy, Rudy, was very energetic, jumping on people and wouldn't listen to commands. However, after a few lessons, he has become calmer and more obedient.
