Hi, Everyone! My first-ever May was hot and happy! I turned 10 months old and am officially an adolescent. My brown winter nose is turning black in the sun, huge peonies appeared in the garden for me to sniff and I tried to taste a bumble bee. I discovered that... Read more

This month started off with lots of fun and excitement with lots of off-leash and hybrid walks and play dates! All of the cherry blossom trees lost their blossoms, so my raiser decided to do a photoshoot with some very pretty results. I have noticed she does like to... Read more

So May has been a good month for me. I went out for a lot more walks and still did a lot of stores too. My favourite walk is by the lagoons near our place. I get to see so many other dogs but I am getting good at leaving them alone unless mum & dad say it’s ok and... Read more

This month Diego was welcomed into Advanced Training! Although Diego preferred to be the only dog in his kennel run, he got plenty of play breaks with his friend DeeDee! He is enthusiastic and keen and wants to explore skills such as tugging. Diego had a fun pool... Read more

Sawyer started out the month of May spending some time with puppy sitters while I attended a conference. As usual, she was a hit and got to experience a different routine, which builds good flexibility and relationship skills. The highlight of the month was a trip to... Read more

May was my first full month without my roomie, Denali. I do love my humans but they call me a toddler as they try to get me to stop my favourite activities: I love to (gently) bite fight, I tore my crate cushion to pieces one night, and I like to chew my leash, and... Read more

This month was super exciting without leaving the house for the whole month. My puppy housemate is part of the PADS breeding program and had a litter of puppies at the beginning of the month, so I got to swap my training hat out for my auntie hat. Although I was not... Read more

My raiser worked a ton of hours this month, and that meant I also worked a ton of hours. Lucky for me, most of my work involved sleeping beside her desk, although every once in a while, I was able to find a sunbeam to sleep under. I went to lots of different places... Read more

This month Aslan was welcomed into Advanced Training! Aslan headed to his long-term sitters, who have noted that he does excellent at all his obedience cues and is a joy to have around. He has settled well with his sitters but has been having trouble with kenneling,... Read more

Another great month with Toast. He is well into his adolescent stage, so he is pushing boundaries. He has had a pretty good month. A couple of on-leash walks with Bingo, his buddy. He had a great time at the spring get-together at Bucherie high school in West Kelowna.... Read more

Howdy all, Brinks here. Finally, some excellent sunshine that I can bask in. When mom was grooming me, she let the birds collect my fur to line their nests. No real great adventures this month. I have grown taller than many of my fellow PADS counterparts. So, I still... Read more

It was a busy month with appointments (medical, social) & a new sitter. Indy had her first real bath at Bosley’s which was made tolerable by having lots of high-value treats – we decided to skip the dryer as it was a bit overwhelming! Indy also had a... Read more

It’s been a nice warm spring! I get to go for lots of walks these days. I am a big fan of the sidewalk chalk drawings! I also had to make friends with this guy on the road who looked pretty suspicious. Mom let me sniff him and say hi, and then I was ok with him... Read more

Oh my, I love working at school this month. Finally, I got to stay the full day at work – kennel-work – kennel shifts. I helped one boy participate in gym. He used to feel scared to go to gym. No kidding, it is loud and big. With me, he was happy. We... Read more

Glisten has had a busy month – she had socialized with a baby, gone swimming in the ocean, gone to the dog park numerous times, and gone to restaurants and stores. She is a happy girl, and she has a great friend with my other dog Zoe. Submitted by: Susan... Read more

This was a very interesting month for my raiser and me because we participated in a puppy swap for two weeks! My mum had the lovely Alma with her (a 1-year-old black lab from the Encanto litter) while I went to a wonderful home with different people and new routines.... Read more

Dylan II has been settling in very nicely into advanced training. His loose leash skills have come a long way, and he has practiced many calm behaviours when he sees other dogs. These skills continue to be a work in progress for many months, but we are on the right... Read more

Cashew is still hoping to become a pulling dog. He truly enjoys it, and it appears to be something he would be willing to do for as long as he can. We hope he can be ready for the next team training in the late summer, but it’s difficult to say at this point. In... Read more
