Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Kiyoko | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Kiyoko turned 14 months in November and has grown into quite a calm, well-behaved pup that can be trusted wherever she goes. She has excellent house manners, walks well on leash, and her recall is always spot-on. She has some dog friends that we walk with regularly,...

Milos | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Boy, I had fun in November! There was a lot of action. Michelle and I went to see Kelowna Ballet. I was very quiet and even watched the exceptional dancers during a thunderstorm on stage. It took me a while to settle, but I did it! Later, we did a road trip to...

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Imani was a joy to have a sleepover with! He is a little cuddle buddy who loves to watch the world go by. We played with toys, ate food and treats, and slept! He only woke up once through the night and did all his business outside. He did inhale his dinner quite...

Dot II | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

It started to feel like Fall with the leaves changing colour and the fireplace on most days… both of which Dot has enjoyed. This month, we participated in a number of group outings, where Dot engaged and played with older PADS dogs. This is good learning for...

Allen | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Hi, everybody! This month, I got to go to work with one of my moms. I was a very good boy, she said. I had a fuzzy blanket to lie on, and I just cooled my heels for a couple of hours (do dogs have heels? Hmmmmm). Anyway, we took the Skytrain downtown, which is always...

Gem II | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

November was a month of adventures and growing confidence. I met a cat, a very friendly cat, on a walk, and practiced meeting it calmly – well, maybe not that calmly, as it ended up hissing at me. I tagged along with one of my raisers for a day of a bunch of...

Tank | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

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...

Gadget | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

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...

Myra | November 2025

Blanco | November 2025

Seven II | November 2025

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...

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...

Casey | November 2025

Monday, December 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

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...

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...
