The temps are -33 before windchill here in Lac la biche county! It’s painfully cold. Bring your dogs inside and offer plenty of indoor enrichment! Vinny here has never chewed an indoor toy before, he is fresh off the streets, learning to be a family dog🥰 he is good with cats and kids and dogs so far. Shows some resource guarding with dogs so we feed him separately. #adopt #laclabichecounty
Hi friends! It’s been a long time since we’ve posted as Kimberley and Trent are new parents.
Here is Ranger showing that a good foundation in co-operative care means we can fall off the training wagon and still nail our annual exam with consent!

Here are some simple ways to make your dogs meal a bit more interesting! 💃
Instead of feeding your doggo from a standard bowl, you can have them put their noses to work and put their food into novel containers or DIY food puzzles.

Make sure if you pet’s are employed as dishwashers that there are only pet safe ingredients in your dish!

Tobi on a Walk
When Kim first met Tobi, he was struggling with major separation anxiety from the mom in the house, he would also bark at every single noise and was generally living a pretty high stress life due to trigger sensitivity. 😨
Through consent and empowerment we have been able to have him walk with the adult son in the family on decompression walks, he can now drive him to daycare, and today we did a walk where mom stayed home and Kyle and Tobi walked away from the house, asking Tobi every step whether he was comfortable with leaving mom.
These consent and pattern games help to empower Tobi to say “no I’m not ready" 🙅♀️
Or “yes I am “ 👍

Ping Pong Game
This is Leslie McDevitts "Ping Pong" game for door Greetings.
It helps your pup alleviate some of the excited energy, by chasing treats back and forth when you enter the home, as opposed to focusing all their excited energy on the person at the front door 👌
