Rainy Junuary slowing us down? Pshaw! We took the Canada Line train and SeaBus to North Vancouver, planning to explore a museum on a very wet day. But Puzzle and Huckle thought the humans looked soggy, so we went to the public market instead, where the boys practiced... Read more

Blazer started June with a short stay with a sitter. I was a bit unsure of how he would be because he is a rather strong-willed pup. As it happened, my concerns were unnecessary. He was well-behaved and as mannerly as a baby puppy can be. He went on a few field trips... Read more

This is the third time I sit Toad, and he has matured over time. He is very sweet, has great house manners, and listens to correction. His recall when off leash was impressive, and he would come bouncing back to me even when he was having a ball with other dogs. He... Read more

June was a very busy month. So much so, that I didn’t even remember to take more photos. We went to Pride and met lots of new people. We played with our other doggy friends, and even though we went to the lake, Toast did not like to play in the water. The upside... Read more

Good day, world, Giorgio here to give a quick update on how my life is going. GREAT!! Thanks for asking. I have really settled into a routine. I know most of the cues I am being asked to do, and if I suspect you have kibble on you, I do them very quickly. If I think... Read more

Sprinter had a very productive June! She went out on lots of different field trips with her primary handler and other handlers. Her goal on these field trips was to experience “boring” everyday life, so they were less about lots of action, skills and snacks, and... Read more

We picked up Tzar at the end of May, and have had the joy of raising him for 5 weeks now. He is a big boy, full of enthusiasm for work (and food), and full of love for cuddles with his people. He already knows a lot of basic cues and has a lovely natural heel and... Read more
