I’d like to thank existing and potential clients for their patience and understanding as I navigate a service refocus.
I’ve been more selective and intentional with bookings and new clients in the best interest of the dogs in my care and my family. I wish I could say yes to all of you, and if I can’t help you, it’s not personal. I have to do what’s best for our in-house dogs and our boarders.
I am always here for advice and help if you have questions about adoption, training, behaviours or if you want to talk dogs in general. There are many other pet care services cropping up and I encourage you to find a care service that’s right for you and your dog(s). If you’re a pet care provider and reading this send me a message. Let’s collaborate to better serve our clients!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns, I’m always open to chat. I’m so grateful for your support.

We focus on educating humans to produce healthy, confident, balanced dogs. Your dogs behave differently while under our care and we will report back with any concerns or advice we feel will be beneficial to both you and your dog. We always keep your dog’s best interest at heart. 🖤

Hello! My name is Ashley and I love your dogs. I come from a long line of farmers and hunters and I was taught from a young age to respect the animal. While you are building value and trust, you’re developing a respectful relationship with your dog. There’s a long list of things you have to provide for your dog before they can become a companion. Once you do, you’ll find yourself with a loyal & lovable best friend.

HONESTY
You owe it to your dog to be honest with yourself about their shortcomings, and about your own. It is OK to feel overwhelmed, frustrated or exhausted when incorporating a new dog into your life. Ask for help. We’re all in this together.

Positive reinforcement = Positive results. Praise your puppy when they’re exhibiting good behaviour. Set them up for success. Remember that when they fail, it’s actually your failure.

CONFIDENCE
Your dog is always looking to you for guidance. Dogs are pack animals, there is always a leader. YOU are the leader. Guidance builds a confident dog.

08/07/2021

TRUST
Your dog should value you above all things. By providing structure, exercise, and affection you build value with your dog. Value builds trust. The outcome is a loyal, obedient companion.

BALANCE
Provide balance to your dog by keeping them exercised, psychologically stimulated and nurtured. ⚖️

Walking dogs gives me purpose and reminds me to live in the moment. Thank you for supporting my dream. I know this is what I was intended to do.

The WALK. The walk is not only about exercise, the walk is integral to your dog’s psychological balance. The on leash walk creates a physical bond between dog(s) and handler. The walk is the best training tool in your toolbox.

These cuties are tons of fun. They kept us busy with walks and playtime in the back yard. Because little Gus is only 5 months old, an overnight stay was the best option for them. We cater the service to best suit the needs of your pets.

Puppy fever 🤩 We offer ‘discovery walks’ for young pups in training. Puppy is out of the house, on an adventure of intermittent training and fun. They can sniff, run, explore and are praised when walking next to the handler to encourage good dog walking behaviour.
