Bromley | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

I have a roommate! Billie came to hang out with us in February, and she is very nice to have around, although I get a wee bit jealous when she gets pats over me. We love snuggling together after our long days at the office. Submitted by: Meghan...

Daisy III | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Mickey II | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

February was all about love, and I definitely felt it while enjoying some bonus time with my raisers! And wow, did we ever make the most of it. One of my humans had a busy month at work, which meant I got to tag along for some exciting new experiences. I visited a...

Bowden | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Advanced Dogs, Calgary, Pupdates

February brought some change for Bowden as he transitioned from the PTSD Service Dog stream into training as an Accredited Facility Dog (AFD). During this time, we also noted some sensitivity around tighter spaces and certain surfaces, which helped guide the decision...

Chester II | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

The second month of the year has been packed with lots of fun activities and outings. During the week, I am still tagging along up to SFU with the human. At just 4 months old, I am content and confident tackling the SkyTrain and the bus on the busy morning commute and...

Holly | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Where has the time gone! January and February got Holly out to a few PADS events, where she continues to work on settling with all the other PADS pups and humans! The highlight was certainly Holly’s first in-person puppy training session with Trainer Nicole and so...

Lylie | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Lylie is growing into quite the goofball. As she waltzes her way through adolescence, she is developing her silly/ serious personality. With days she is calm and collected, and others where she is energetic and ecstatic, she always finds a way to surprise us. Check...

Elli | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Elli continues to learn and is becoming a very smart teenager. She did, however, eat a rock and a magnet and required surgery. She has recovered quickly but still likes rocks. Leaving rocks alone is something that has become a priority. Submitted by: Stewart...

Clyde II | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Sir Clyde II turned 8 months old on February 22nd. He absolutely loves our daily walks around the neighbourhood. In fact, he goes straight in front of the door the second he sees me get the leash and put my coat on. During our walks, he’s very good at sitting nicely...

Jonsie | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

JONSIE continues to adjust to his gentle leader; he is a puller and a floor surfer in Grocery stores, especially. We can have a fantastic walk one day, and the next can be stubborn sits and attempts to remove it. I have no doubt that with patience and treats we will...

Sturko | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a fun and busy February, as I did. I was at a puppy sitter for most of January and part of February as one of my raisers had a broken shoulder. I had a great time with my sitter family, but I was very excited to be back home (I...

Bosc | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Advanced Dogs, Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Bosc didn’t do quite as many field trips this month and instead mostly focused on polishing his obedience skills with targeted sessions. He has gained a lot more confidence and clarity in his strength and body awareness, and has allowed him to improve the mechanics in...

Bazinga | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Advanced Dogs, Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Bazinga continues to work on his emotional regulation and confidence building this month. He is really benefiting from plenty of opportunities to move his body freely off leash, in nature. His confidence in certain areas has grown, and in other ways, he’s still a work...
