Good day, world. Sorry, this report is a little late; my mom went on a trip and got home a few days ago. This is my second month in my new home. There is still so much to investigate that almost every day, there is something new to discover. I continue to work on my... Read more

Gadget had a very quiet month as far as public appearances, as her heat cycle began at the start of the month. She did get to put on her cape and attend a couple of hockey games at the end of the month. For training, we did a lot of work on duration and outdoor... Read more

What a fun month November has been! Myra had one final week to be ‘big sister’ to the Winter Holiday puppies before they left to meet their raisers and start their training. We wish them all the best and can’t wait to see what their futures hold, and... Read more

November was a month of steady work and new experiences. We went on a field trip to IKEA, where I practiced settling in a busy environment. Settling is actually something I am already quite good at, but having other dogs nearby adds an extra layer of excitement and... Read more

November has been a fun month! We were lucky to have some nice weather, so I got out for trail walks and settle sessions with my furrends. PADS Bubba even came to my neighbourhood, and I got to show him around Grouse Mountain! A very rude event that happened this... Read more

Another busy month with my family, doing lots of things with them. We went to a restaurant where I had to practice lying quietly while they ate their dinner. They also took me to watch a live play – once the theater got dark, I went to sleep while they... Read more

November brought winter’s arrival to Calgary, and Tattor couldn’t be more thrilled about it! She’s discovered that snow—especially when it’s actively falling—is absolutely magical. She’s become a faithful companion on the daily school... Read more

Casey has impressed us so much this past month. He has always been wonderful at home, and this past month, his behaviour outside the home has also been wonderful. He is interested in other dogs, though it is now more curiosity than reactivity. He wears his new... Read more

Hey…no one told me Halloween scare fest was over, and I’ve just emerged …that’s why my Oct pup date wasn’t done – so this one counts as Oct AND November. Here is one of the ways I stayed out of the way from all the scary antics- hide in plain sight: So I said to... Read more

Hi, Everyone, Whoosh, November really flew past! Is it me, or has time suddenly picked up speed? Maybe it’s just that the life of a PADS teenager is especially busy this time of year, and I lost track. Big Business: Turns out November is for checking big things off... Read more

In November, we noticed Sylvan was experiencing significant fear during her vet visit, so we’ve shifted some of our attention back to cooperative care work to help build her confidence and comfort. Alongside this, we’ve continued practicing the skills introduced in... Read more

Furrow turned 20 months old this month, November 2025. We are having an exciting month. Furrow does not mind having fun in the rain. I think the wet ground holds more scent, as he quite enjoys his walks despite the heavy rains. I decided to take Furrow with me on a... Read more

November…. in Calgary… means MORE SNOW. I have been spending more time inside and at work with my Mom this month, but I am happiest when I am outside frolicking in the snow (see my pics). It’s been a month of working on my sides, duration, and... Read more

In November, Rimbey transitioned to a new sitter and has been settling in beautifully. She continued to build on the skills from October and also began practicing her rear-foot targeting in a doorway to tug it closed. Rimbey has such a fantastic work attitude and... Read more

Bazinga has now settled into the daily life in Advanced Training. His best buddies for playtime are PADS Bosc and pet dog Fiddlesticks. Bazinga is thriving on a high amount of off-leash exercise, where he can drain his excess energy and come to work with a clearer and... Read more

Bosc has been enjoying his field trips as we continue to narrow down his ideal AFD placement type. Bosc has shown an aversion to loud, chaotic environments. He feels most comfortable when he knows what to expect from his environment, and the energy level is lower.... Read more

I have been with my mom for just over three weeks, and I think I like it here! I have a dog sister and a cat brother. I am sometimes a bit overexuberant with my love for them, but I am learning when they tell me that they have had enough. I have lots of toys; my... Read more
