IMPORTANT UPDATE ❤️🐾

Hi BADdies, I have some unexpected news to share about our training space at 16 Harley Umphrey Drive.

The building recently changed ownership, and the new landlords have chosen to terminate my tenancy effective January 1st, 2026. This means December will be my final month operating out of this location.

I want to be honest and transparent with all of you, because this community has been such a huge part of my life:

After sinking 6 months of operating costs into my dream, this change couldn’t have come at a harder time. Many of you know that my father in Newfoundland has been very unwell, and I’ve been traveling back and forth trying to support him. Now, with the sudden need to move out of my workspace during the holidays, I’m navigating a lot at once.

Here’s what you need to know right now:

• All December appointments, events, and sessions will continue as planned.
• My priority through the holidays will be supporting my family, finishing up all December sessions and moving out safely.
• I will share updates about BAD Dog Training’s next steps when I’m able.
• This is not the end — just a pause during a very difficult season.

I want to thank every single person who has trusted me with their dogs, shared your stories, and supported BAD Dog Training. You’ve helped build a small-business community with so much heart, and I’m deeply grateful.

I appreciate your patience, understanding, and kindness as I get through this unexpected transition. ❤️🐾

Post-Session Gratitude 🐶

What a day inside the BAD training unit. Six full SEARCH Room sessions with the amazing Lori-Lee from Your Happy Dog Coach — and honestly, my heart is overflowing. 💛🐾

When I first announced that Lori-Lee (Puzzle Dog Certified — shoutout to Tessa at Puzzle Dog) was coming down from Yarmouth to run sensory SEARCH Room sessions, you all booked two full days in about two and a half hours. Twelve spots gone in a blink. Your enthusiasm to support made this happen, and I’m so so grateful. I really do have the best clients ever.

Today we laughed, we cried, and we got to witness the quiet, beautiful work that happens when dogs enter a space designed entirely for curiosity, decompression, and choice. Watching these dogs process the room, make decisions, problem-solve, and breathe… it hits something deep every time.

My clients — you represented the BAD Dog Training brand so well today. You advocated for your dogs, you listened, you enriched, you supported each other, and you showed up with so much heart. My last client of the day advocated for her reactive dog exactly as we talked about it many times before, and it brought Lori-Lee to tears. That’s real dog training, community coming together to do more, and learn more with your dog.

Huge thank-you to Lori-Lee for making the trip, sharing her knowledge, and bringing this meaningful, dog-led modality to Liverpool. Watching her work is honestly a privilege.

Day 1 is wrapped.
Day 2 and Day 3 are coming.
And if today was any indication… we’re in for something truly special. ✨

Oreo the cocker spaniel is a proud new member of our BAD spaniel group. This guy will not let a little bit of rain keep him from running the trails with his BAD pals.

Good morning BADdies!! I have another experience coming to Liverpool!! Mark your calendars 🗓️

📅 November 29, 2025
⏰ 10am–2pm (individual time slots)
📍 16 Harley Umphrey Drive, Unit 3, BAD Training Space, Liverpool NS
💲 $65 per dog

🌿 Welcome to Liverpool’s first SEARCH ROOM: A Calm, Confidence-Building Experience for Sensitive/Reactive Dogs. Hosted with Your Happy Dog Coach (SEARCH-Certified)

This is a quiet, sensory-rich room where your dog gets to explore at their own pace while a trainer sits with you and break down what your dog is communicating through tiny movements and choices.

No cues.
No pressure.
Just your dog thinking, sniffing, exploring!

Many dogs leave calmer than they arrived.
Many guardians leave saying, “I’ve never seen my dog like that.” And yes — my Fred had helicopter tail the entire time, made a friend in Lori-Lee, and then crashed out!

Who is it for?

✨ Dogs who get worried in new places
✨ Reactive dogs, shy dogs, rescue dogs
✨ Dogs who bark, freeze, or shut down
✨ Sensitive pups who need gentler introductions
✨ Any dog who doesn’t need more “obedience” — they need space, confidence, and choice

If walks feel stressful, new places are hard, or your dog “overthinks everything,” this is a beautiful experience.

Whether your dog is reactive, sensitive, or simply needs a calmer way to explore the world, the SEARCH Room is one of the most grounding, confidence-building activities I’ve ever done — for both dogs and humans.

Can’t wait to share this space with you. 🐾💛

📣 ‼️ All slots have been booked! ‼️📣
