Muse really enjoyed her time working on relaxing and other skills offsite with advanced sitter Ellen for 3 weeks. In November, Muse came back for a check-in with Margaret. Muse showed some nice growth with her separation anxiety and her vocalization when there was a...

For a few weeks in October, Muse took a break from training onsite to work with advanced sitter Ellen in a home environment. Muse got a chance to work on things like optimism, calm and emptying her bucket. Muse really enjoyed her time with Ellen and was able to settle...

Muse has been coming along in practising her calm as well as settling apart from her handler. Some of that training includes practising nap time. What a lucky girl! While practising her public etiquette on field trips, we have found that sometimes she freezes while...

Did anyone say Easter! NomNomNom… Yes, I did my part in the annual Easter Bunny Parade. Via zoom, I strutted my stuff with my bunny ears & a yum yum carrot. We had a little Family Reunion, “The Story Litter,” with PADS Lore (Brother), Story...

Spring is here! Easter! This month the sunshine was out but still Rain, Rain and more Rain! I tell you, this past year has been such a different time. We go out to familiar places and some not so familiar. Grocery stores and the mall are good places to work on my...

Happy Valentine’s and Fab February! This month we had a “Walk & Talk” with PADS trainers at the mall. I was nervous, but I did pretty well. I have a few things for me to work on. This month we are continuing to work on durations, settling and...

Happy December! And December has brought the rain, but as you know, I have a new raincoat, so no worries there! The rain does not bother me, and I LOVE puddles, Splish Splash. Like many of my co-workers, we don’t love bathtime. #dogswhohatebaths. I will tolerate...

The nights are getting longer, but the mornings are sooooo bright! I LOVE the morning. I burst out of the kennel (after being released, of course) to say good morning to everyone. Then I do my due diligence to ensure nothing is out of place since last night. BUT the...

October 2020! Fall time, and it’s getting chilly. This month was my Birthday, and I was fortunate to celebrate with my brother PADS Lore and Released Story, who are nearby. We had a fun walk, and I was sooo exhausted from all the running and fun! I spent some...

September! This month was another trip exploring the Rockies and seeing family. I worked on my cues outside and a few stops. It was my raiser’s b’day at the end of the month (so again, more pictures for October…so soon). We visit the mall and a few...

August! Well, I have been exploring Amazing BC and Alberta to see family. I had so much fun, and everyone was glad to see me. My cousin Roxy does not like other puppies. But we were introduced in the back yard, and then we were buddies for the trip! We spent some...

July! What a wonderful month it was. We did a few adventures out and about – keeping our distance, but working on our training. We have been working on our duration! I like to pop up and get those kibble goodies! I went on a road trip at the end of July,...

It’s officially Summer, BUT, it has been a month of rain and more rain!!! This month PADS Nana stayed with us for a few days. She is a super cute Golden Retriever! She does have shark teeth, though, and loves to pull on my neck fur. Thankfully my droopy jowls...

May 2020! This month we had sunny days! We have been doing our part to ensure social distancing. All PADS pups are on a cape break. We are still training! Just not out and about as much as we were before. My raisers have been around, and there have been lots of...

We are doing our part to keep social distance minimal. I miss my friends… We do get out & about, but it’s just not the same. My puppy classes have gone virtual, something called “Zoom” meetings. I watch for a bit and sometimes snooze while my raiser...

This month started normally enough. With the strange things happening around the world, though, we, as PADS dogs, temporarily hung up our vests to help our raisers stay healthy. I hung out with my co-worker furriends (see the picture of PADS Dory), and doing training....

This month I have been working on my cues and duration. We train every day and then I go out to run around on the trails or go on puppy playdates. I truly love it! My raisers dressed me up for Valentine’s day and I was beautiful. Everywhere I walked, I offered...

January 2020! Snow, Snow, Snow… It seemed to be either snowing or raining. Either way, nothing stops me to get outside to work or play. My raisers bought me a raincoat this month. I like it, it does not bother me at all. The hat keeps falling off but who does not like...

This month we were out and about running lots of errands. Costco seemed to be the best place to shop. So many people and delicious smells but I kept my cool. We took a few breaks to just people watch. Everybody going everywhere. I am working on settling in restaurants...

“Go In” is the cue we use for us PADS dogs to go under tables, benches or general spaces where we need to be a little smaller. This month was full of a lot of practice. I am super proud of my achievements! If you follow my Instagram (padsmuse) you can see my skills in...

Octoberfest … I am loving all the fall delicious smells and crunchy leaves. This month, The Story Litter turned “1” and the Thanksgiving Litter joined us to celebrate. There were “bitey facey” games galore, then basically I slept for the rest of the...
