Meet BIGGIE 💓
This sweet girl is around 8 and came all the way from California, after being abandoned while she was pregnant.
🫂A nice lady rescued her from the high kill shelter, where she had her babies, and sent her to Vancouver to find her furever home.
The second person who fostered her couldn't imagine letting her go so...he adopted her 💕
✅Biggie looooves playing in the waves, cuddling with her Human and eating treats.
❌ We don't have much information about her past but it seems that she had a hard time with other dogs and her fear leads her to either freeze or fight when she sees a dog (even a sleeping puppy is scary for her 😞).
⏩ We'll work on building a strong bond between BIGGIE and her Human, based on mutual understanding and patience.
Learning about dog body language, management skills to avoid or escape from tricky situations for BIGGIE.
🙌 Making sure we build up her confidence using force free and fear free methods

Who is rooting for Miss Biggie? 💕🙌💕

Wishing a great long weekend 😎 and a happy BC day 🙌

It's hot again, not only in Vancouver.
🥵 Keep your dog in a fresh place, with shade and water, if you're taking them with you.
Reduce physical exercise and high intensity activities!
I'm spending the long weekend with Miss Lea and we kept the walks short until the evening, when the temperatures cooled down and we got to enjoy another beautiful sunset made in BC 😍

SUMMER IS HERE 😎☀️

While most of us really enjoy the sunny days and warmer weather, 🏖️we have to keep in mind that our dogs don't necessarily feel the same way 🥵
⚠️ It's especially hard for short nosed dogs (pugs, Boston terries, frenchies,...), old dogs, sick dogs

Here are some recommendations and precautions to keep your dog safe during summer.

🔥 DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOG IN YOUR CAR:
Dogs pant to lower their body temperature, which requires fresh, cool air to be effective. When the air inside a car becomes hot and stagnant, panting becomes less efficient.
☠️ Even if the window is cracked open, your dog can overheat rapidly, leading to heatstroke or other serious health issues. Never leave dogs or other pets in a parked car, even for a few minutes in the shade and with windows slightly open.
💡 What you can EXCEPTIONALLY do: use your spare key to close the door and leave the engine running with the AC on. ⚠️ Mechanical failure can still happen and it's not environmentally friendly.

🔥 FLOOR IS LAVA:
The pavement but also the sand get hot very quickly on hot days and your dog can get burnt.
Their paw pads are very sensitive and allow them to sweat, to regulate their body temperature, which is impossible when the floor is too hot.
Be mindful of where you ask your dog to walk and stand.

🔥 HOT SUMMER DAYS should be lazy days 🦥
Reduce considerably physical activities
🧊 Make sure your dog stays hydrated (fresh water, frozen food toys...) and cool (shade, ice vests, AC, ...).

Tell us about your best tips to keep your dog safe during hot days !

How many times have I heard a client say: "At home he's listening, but outside he's so stubborn...😤" ?
Way too many 🤣
But guess what?
Maybe your dog isn't stupid or stubborn, maybe you went too fast too soon and skipped a few steps in your training. 🤓
✅ Understanding how your dog learns will help you get better and long lasting results!
If you're still struggling with your dog's training, send me a DM or call me 😉

THE 4 D'S OF DOG TRAINING

Is your dog usually listening to your cues in the house but forgets everything as soon as he's outside?😬
How frustrating!😤
It's not surprising, though 🤓

You probably didn't know about the 4 D's of dog training!
👉 Duration
👉 Distance
👉 Distraction
👉 Difficulty

One D at a time, your dog will get what you're expecting from him and will be much more reliable.
Remember that in dog training:
💡Going slow will take you a long way!
🔁 Repetition is key

And if you're still struggling, DM me or email me at [email protected] 😊

Meet NORMAN 😍
This handsome guy got rescued a bit more than 2 years ago and has been showing some anxiety around strangers and new situations.
We'll be working on that to help you feel safe and secure, love.
🤓Starting with making sure his needs are met and that we keep him away from situations that trigger him.
We got your back, Norman. 💗

I took Annabelle on her first DECOMPRESSION WALK today. 💕
😖She was a bit stressed because it was only the second time she was going to the cemetery and the first time walking with just me.
🧐 We played "find it" games to help her relax and use her nose, rather than scanning the environment for a potential threat.
👏 She was able to take treats and engage with me so that's already a big win for this beautiful girl, who was saved from a puppy mill a couple of months ago.
One step at a time 🙌

MANAGEMENT is a word we often use in dog training.
🤓 It should be playing a key role in any training program, especially at the beginning. (And once you realize how helpful it is, you'll probably keep on using it 😉).

👉 But what is "management" and why do we need it? Read the slides to learn more about management!

✍️ Let us know in the comments how you incorporate management in your training and the effects you notice on your dog (and you!).

Meet ANNABELLE 💕
This cutie girl got away from a puppy mill, where she was forced to have litters after litters...😢
Once she got health issues, they just got rid of her and took her in, to find her a forever home.
She's doing the best she can to adjust to her new life and learning to become a family dog.🙏
She definitely lacked a lot of the essential socializing and good experiences she should have had as a puppy, but she's very smart and willing to learn 🙌
She also found a very dedicated Human who's ready to help her the best he can.
We got you, Annabelle. 💓

That's a wrap! I spent the week with Peanut and I had the best time. 💗
🙌 He's doing so much better in stressful situations, thanks to the training and to the medication. He has a better threshold and also recovers way faster 🙏
He's so cuddly and playful too. I love you, my Lord 💓

✅Watson is very food motivated
🛑 He's been acting like this for years now so these behaviors have been reinforced a lot.
💯 We can still find management solutions and work on new skills to learn how to handle all his emotions.

Did you know that your dog has a super power?! 🤓
Planted right in the middle of his cute face!
Yes, I’m talking about his nose, his most powerful sensory organ.👃
🧐Can you picture your dog, during his daily walks, sniffing every inch of the pavement (tracking) or his nose in the air (air scenting), catching a scent coming from God knows where, that we are not equipped to smell?
💥With more than 100 million olfactory receptors (Yes, more than 100 million!!), your dog’s nose is insanely powerful and puts us to shame, with our ridiculous 6 million.

PETER PARKER 😋

Sweet Peter has been making huge progress since we started our training sessions and I'm happy to report that he's now asking me for belly rubs 🙌
And what a pleasure it is to see him relaxed when I'm in the house and moving around.💓
Yesterday he even let me wipe his paws after the walk 🙌
👏👏 Good work on both sides of the leash 👌

Help us stop the so-called dog daddy, who pretends to be a dog trainer.
The guy is a clown organizing events where he puts dogs over threshold to pretend is fixing reactivity issues, with barbaric methods.
It's plainly animal abuse.

POLKA 💕

Who would have thought that this cutie would be the greatest motivation for my Dad to recover from all the health issues he's been going through during the last 8 months? 🥹
He's never been one to really be emotional about animals and used to think that dogs should be sleeping outside, no nickname , no treats...🫨
Well, Polka taught him how important it can be to keep his mind open and showed him that dogs are compassionate and caring. 🙏
🧑‍🦽When asked what his goal was when entering the recovery home in June, he said "I want to be able to walk my dog", completely forgetting about the fact he wasn't able to eat and drink 🥹
Keep on fighting, Dad, you're getting there. 🫶 Polka is waiting for you 🙌

🇨🇦REUNITED with some of my furry friends after almost 3 years 🎉💕
I was a bit anxious that the dogs I used to train would have forgotten about me but it seems that Tata is still in their minds ❤️💓
Helios and Gospel started crying when they realized I was there 🥹 and I was squealing like a teenager seeing her favorite celebrity 🤪
I also got to meet with the new addition to the family, the sweet Sethi 😍
🇫🇷 Retrouvailles avec quelques uns de mes petits protégés, après presque 3 ans 🎉💓
J'ai toujours un peu peur que les chiens que j'ai eus en séances m'aient oubliée mais apparemment Tata Saucisse est bien restée dans un coin de leurs têtes 💕
Helios et Gospel ont couiné comme des fous quand ils m'ont reconnue et j'ai gagatisé complètement 🥰🤪
J'ai aussi eu la chance de rencontrer le beau Séthi, qui a rejoint la petite tribu après mon départ 😍

PETER 😋💕

🇨🇦 New milestone for this handsome fellow 🙌
Peter gets really anxious when people are coming over and has a hard time settling down. He can get reactive if people move too fast or laugh too much. He's usually staying in the bedroom, to feel more comfortable.
This week, I went inside for the first time and Peter was actually very happy to see me (favorite French treat lady 😎).
We practice a few pattern games, some engage disengage and he did amazing 👏
Big up to the whole team 👏👏

🇨🇦 Meet OLLIE 😍
this handsome boy arrived along with +280 dogs and cat from Afghanistan with .shelter.yvr a year ago.
🤓He's about 2.5 years and has been struggling with reactivity towards other dogs when he's on leash.
🫨Not very surprising with all the things he must have been going through in Afghanistan and all the changes he had to face when arriving in a totally different world.
😵 Being on a leash in a busy environment is not that easy for a street dog.
🙌 We'll work on making sure we're reaching his needs, help him feel more confident outside and on leash.

🇫🇷 Voici le bel OLLIE 😍
Arrivé il y a un peu plus d'un an d'Afghanistan, avec plus de 280 chiens et chats.
🤓Il a environ 2.5 ans et se montre réactif congénères quand il est en laisse.
🫨Rien de très surprenant quand on pense à tout ce qu'il a dû subir avant d'arriver au Canada et à tous les changements auxquels il a dû faire face depuis son arrivée.
Se retrouver en laisse dans un environnement très différent de celui qu'il a connu n'est pas chose facile pour un chien de la rue.
🙌 On va faire le maximum pour que ses besoins soient comblés et lui donner confiance en extérieur, spécialement en laisse.

Comprendre son animal

Diplômée de la formation “Intervenant en comportement animal” dispensée à la Zoo Académie de Jacinthe BOUCHARD (Québec, Canada) et basée sur les méthodes de renforcement positif (2018), je continue à me former régulièrement pour toujours mieux comprendre et connaître nos amis les chiens (et tous les autres animaux !).

Je suis titulaire de l’ACACED (Attestation de connaissance des animaux de compagnie d’espèces domestiques), formation obligatoire pour exercer en France. (Vox animae)

Intervenante PECCRAM (programme d’éducation à la connaissance du chien et au risque d’accident par morsure) et pour le programme “Lire avec le chien” pour aider les enfants en difficulté d’appprentissage. (Formations avec Mme HAZARD, FIMAC Canin)

Formée en Médiation assistée par l’animal, à l’Institut Français de Zoothérapie (2016)
