Tide | August 2025

I’ve been at the sitters for half of this month, which was super fun because I was staying with my released PADS friend, Magic. She helps teach me how to behave in the house with another dog and not get too wound up. I still worked hard on my position cues like ‘side’...

Brandy | August 2025

Monday, September 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates
