This was my first month in training and I have learned a ton of new things! Lots of cues like sit, down, heel, go in, better go, bed, kennel. My loose leash walking has improved amazingly since my first wild days. I’ve met lots of new friends, both human and pup and... Read more

I am working on mastering collar pressure, leash guides, hind end targeting and smooth position changes so I will be very easy for any handler. I spent a day at the Douglas College Vet Tech program where the students reported that I was an awesome guinea pig! I made... Read more

Zion II has been trying out training with a head halti because sometimes it can be a useful tool for a client when they first work with their match. Zion can be a bit silly about the head halti at times, so she’s still got some practice to do. She’s also been working... Read more

So I gotta say, September started out with me seeing my first bear. I didn’t care to get near him. I could smell this was not an animal to get close to. I met a new friend. Her name is Valentine and we got to walk together. For an old(er) girl she sure had a lot of... Read more

This month was such a busy one in our house! One of my raisers went back to school so she is gone some days, and she leaves me at home! Apparently, working from home better suits my calm practice than a busy university campus, but I hear that there are puppies that go... Read more

This month Canary decided to shake things up. She was showing growth in her calm and building patience. However, she started to hit a bit of a plateau in the kennel environment because she still would get frustrated from time to time when she was looking to get access... Read more

The month of September was a lot of fun. I went on a big ride up some gondolas in Whistler, which was really neat, and I handled the experience really well. I also did a suspension bridge at the top of Whistler, which I didn’t find scary at all. I got some practice... Read more

Hello PADS Village – it’s Dylan II here. So, things are finally starting to cool down around here, which is nice, I guess. Not that I minded too much, but my hooman was getting a little cranky with the hot weather. Good thing he wasn’t with me when I... Read more
