Hey friends.
I will be taking an extended break, as I focus on my training, and continuing education.
You may still see a scattered post here, and there. 😉
An incredibly tough decision, I will no longer be taking crate tag orders. I appreciate all of your past business, and will miss the fun of creating something with you.
Take care, and hope to see you soon.

Do you trim your dog’s pad fur? It really helps with grip around the house.

Is there any warmer feeling than when your dog snuggles in on your shoulder? You know, when they put their head there, and then give that little nuzzle to cozy down? ❤️

Just like for us, conditioning exercises aren’t always fancy to be effective. It’s about control, proper form, repetition. Making sure you’re targeting the right muscle groups effectively. Before we introduce unstable equipment or increase challenges, we work on solid surfaces, making sure the dogs are able to perform the exercise appropriately, and have proper form before moving on.

Figure 8's! I am teaching Journey each direction, with thoughtful movement. We will work towards full Figure 8 configuration, then multiples. A great cardio option during these cold winter days!

Figure 8’s are great for improving proprioception (limb awareness), and stretching through the spine. It provides a great warm up for continuing exercises. We love them!

Our goal is to trot slow and controlled around the cones keeping a flat back & natural head position.

(I used a target stick to teach the behaviour. Journey can get over zealous when using food lures in movements like this.)

Cavaletti set up on a budget!

I ordered these cones on Amazon, and they serve the purpose great! I have enough for a cavaletti set up of 6 inside, and a set up outside. For the poles, you’ll need to buy some plastic broom sticks, or if you’re handy, cut some 3/4-1” plumbers pipe.

I love cavaletti, and have seen some amazing results with them.

Should we plan a little cavaletti online zoom? 🤔😁

Do you trim your dogs’ fur around their paw pads?

Even short hair breeds like boxers can get long fur around their toes. Trimming it back will help them with traction around the house. Kiss’s needs trimming, so using the opportunity to show you how the fur can grow out over the pads, before I give them a trim. Just a quick zip with our clipper, and good to go! I’ll post after pics in the comments when they’re done. 😃

How’s the ice in your areas? Our roads & paths are so full. Really impedes getting out for walks. We need to scope out some backroads. 🤔

Today the dogs and I are working on some figure 8’s. Journey hates taking breaks. Can you feel his impatience? He has a puzzle toy for proper breaks. I’ll have a quick video on that soon!

I’m so excited to start working together.

*Due to insurance restrictions, I can only offer consultations within Canada. I am looking to expand that coverage to include international in the coming months.

There are many signs of fatigue. Did you know snatching their snacks too harshly can mean your dog is tired? As can stopping taking snacks, backing up, walking away…. What else?
Always watch for signs your dog is tiring, and take a break.

Journey & Kiss are super excited to announce that we are official retailers for Smack Pet Food!

Especially learning new behaviours, we go through a lot of treats. It’s important not to overfeed, so by offering Smack as a meal replacement for part of their daily raw food, they’re getting a yummy snack AND all the nutrition they need.

We wanted to be able to offer that same yummy goodness to our clients.

Did you know it’s Canadian 🇨🇦? Made right in Manitoba!

The future smells fantastic! 🥰
