This month Fiddle has been working on waiting before passing thresholds. She was a champ during Halloween night laying calmly on her bed even when the fireworks were going off and strangers knocking on the door. She has also enjoyed her walks seeing all the leaves... Read more

Hi, Everyone! Wow, October was a month of contrasts. On one hand, I had lots of “decompression” time. On the other, I had some new, exciting experiences that needed “decompressing” from. So, a perfect PADS pup-in-training month, I’d say! My favourite new experience... Read more

It’s my second month with my super-duper sitter. They took me to so many fun places. The best part of this month was when we went to the soccer field. Tons of kids were running around, chasing a ball, and some doggies were there too. But my sitter told me to be... Read more

DeeDee continues to work on all her skills and still has extra spunk at times, but she is getting better at walking in the loose leash zone more regularly without handler feedback. She’s doing an excellent job on her sound skills and starting to be able to truly relax... Read more

Abra has been hard at work continuing to refine her hearing dog skills and polishing up her obedience and foundations. She continues to mature and settle into her work and rest in between. She still can get a bit excited around thresholds, so she’s working on... Read more

Sprinter has had a lot of fun trying out different things in September. It took her a while to warm up to some of the targeting and tug work, but she’s starting to get the hang of it. Nose targeting or working on a dumbbell grab are her favourite tasks so far. She’s... Read more

It’s been a busy month for me again. We are back at the arenas, but with it still so nice outside, we do some walking while we wait for the game to start so I have new places to check out the smells (I do my best to wait until I’m asked to go sniff). I... Read more
