October is my favorite month. Why do you ask? Well, it’s my birthday month, and I turned one year old. I even went to a birthday party for all of my brothers & sisters in the Avengers litter. It was a lot of fun. It was so nice to see them again & play.... Read more

Radar just finished his second month of puppy kindergarten! This month, Radar practiced going on walks with his sister (Macca the Shih Tzu) and not jumping on her. We started in the neighbourhood, and he did a good job, so we went into the woods, and he was pretty... Read more

Gherkin continues to be a very sweet, calm boy who is eager to learn. He has been on several outings to malls, grocery stores and restaurants, where he’s working hard on his “go in” with duration. He’s become very confident and comfortable on his errands. He is also... Read more

This month has been filled with lots of fall activities for Charm. She joined the youth outing to the corn maze (and tried to race them through it), an outing to an apple and pumpkin farm and finally ended the month by dressing up for Halloween. She enjoyed taking... Read more

Somehow this month had more summer weather so we spent tons of time outside like nice long days at local parks or the pumpkin patch. I helped pick out a pumpkin but was disappointed to learn that it was not for eating but for carving. How silly are hoomans wasting... Read more

October has been a month of many new experiences, including 2 stays at my sitters while my mum was away for work. I think I like my sitters a lot. They have big fenced yards where I can go run and stretch my growing long legs. I got to attend a funeral this month with... Read more

My month started out great! Our household got into the routine of the new school year, and I continued mastering my home office dog role. The peace was disrupted when I was told that my Roan cologne was too much and that a bath was in order. I used to be decently... Read more

Birdie turned 3 months in October and, with age, has calmed down considerably. Her crazy jumping and biting bursts of energy have become more intermittent. She’s comfortable with her daily routine and is working on her basic commands (better go, sit, down, here,... Read more

Sequin enjoyed the beautiful October we had in Calgary with playdates and lots of walks. She spent time in the office – including ‘helping’ to decorate for a pair of coworkers’ birthdays, and winning over everyone she met. Sequin attended her... Read more

I’ve spent this month growing!!! My raiser was not impressed that she had to buy me a new bed at the end of the month as I grew out of the small one pretty quickly! I’ve shown my raiser that I can be super smart at times, quickly learning new skills but... Read more

I had a very busy October. I spent a lot of time at the courthouse this month, (don’t worry, my human is NOT in trouble, she works there!) I was a very good girl, sitting quietly through several trials. I was not afraid of the glass elevators, and on lunch... Read more

October is a fall month and Halloween time. And so I got to play in the leaves and try on a tutu! I also got to meet up with my best friends PADS Advanced dog in training Abra and PADS AFD Roo. Everyone we run into always remarks on how we look so alike, so we took a... Read more

This month Thorin turned one! He celebrated by going for a nice long walk on the trail followed by a swim in the ocean. As we have seen warmer temperatures this fall, he wanted to take advantage of his time at the beach, knowing the outdoor temperatures and ocean... Read more

Mango spent lots of time on the soccer field, Special Olympic Bowling, school, and transportation this month. He is working very hard on staying calm when things are exciting. Whistles, steps, balls rolling, and noises do not bother him much. He is so brave and... Read more

I’m a big girl now! On October 22, my littermates and I turned 1. The hooman threw us a big birthday party with hot dogs, cupcakes, and a special doggie cake just for us and our friends. All my favourite hoomans were there, as well as 5 of my brothers and... Read more

The second month of training has gone awesome! I’m a super enthusiastic, kibble-loving dervish. I have figured out the deal with the kibbles…just do what she wants and they keep coming! Since I’m growing so fast and super lean, I can hardly get enough of those... Read more

Sinclair has been working on being less enthusiastic with every passing puppy on walks. It is still really hard for him but he is definitely improving. He spent some time with Michelle and Steve again and has been training at the university, in the mall, at local... Read more

A month of learning and building on skills (found my hind end — yes, that’s a skill), and some new experiences and changes in routine. Enjoyed the extended sunny weather to play on the beach and go for a few kayak rides. Also, went to a new, noisy... Read more

Alma has been doing great. She loves food, so she works hard at learning so she can get the kibbles. She had her first ferry ride and got a taste of gulf island life. The stairs on the ferry were really steep and loud, so a little scary. She worked hard at getting... Read more

Pecan II is having fun and can also be impatient to wait her turn. Sometimes we work on the simple things like arousal around stimuli and “fomo” (fear of missing out). These are foundations that are very important to her training. We toggle our training plan with a... Read more

Strong and steady Louis II is adding more cues to the various positions around the powerchair. We train the dogs to go behind the chair on cue when spaces are narrow. They know “heel” means left side and “side means right side. And if we want the dog to go in front of... Read more
