Minnie moved into her raisers’ home on August 30th, 2024. One month later, she is visibly bigger in size (see the two photos below). Her socialization is ongoing. She seems to be quite confident, agile and motivated to “work” for her food. Problem... Read more

This month, Shah met up with his buddies PADS Astro and Blazer at the Calgary Farmers Market. This was one of his first big public outings, and he was thrown in the deep end by going with other dogs. It took him a few minutes to find his stride, but he settled in and... Read more

Casey is just wonderful- a confident, lively wee fellow who melts your heart. He is smart, responding well to cues etc. He has a fascination with boots, shoes and anything that hangs over a chair, such as his mats, my clean-up bag, etc. So yes, as one would expect... Read more

It’s back to school this month, and I got to go to my sisters’ high school now that they are both there. It was big, and I got to walk in the halls and even go to some of their classes for “Meet the Teacher” night. My family took me to a live... Read more

What an exciting month for me! I left my mama and littermates and met my raiser and family. I have a big garden, lots of toys and beds and I settled right in. This was a month filled with firsts: my first walks with new PADS friends, my first puppy class, my first... Read more

Wowza will be turning 8 months old at the beginning of the month. He is getting close to 70 pounds and is full of energy – when he gets the zoomies, you have to make sure to get out of the way! He enjoys being challenged with new skills and loves going for walks... Read more

Tetris continues to be a calm, thoughtful dog. She is very methodical in her day-to-day training, quite often considering her command before jumping into position. She loves her adventure walks but rarely strays to the end of her leash. Her raisers had lots of... Read more

I’m back in school again! It was great to reunite with all the students and staff as I got back into the routines of classes and meetings. I love to settle and sleep all day, which I can also do out in restaurants, at events and during appointments. When I was... Read more

Rufous has had a very exciting month! He continues to display his intense desire to “work” and showcases so many new and continued skills and obedience techniques regularly – just need the boy to want to NOT work sometimes. 🙂 His humans went off on a US desert... Read more

Marsh’s Marvellous month of September: Summer ended this month, along with lots of other memorable events. The kids went back to school, and I have popped in a couple of times already just to visit some students and say hi to some teachers. We celebrated my one-year... Read more

The start of Fall is a time to get back to school, work, routine, and early bedtimes. But we didn’t get the memo, our calendar was full! Puzzle went to Whistler with sitters and met new friends. He and PADS Huckle went to a BC Lions game. Puzzle doesn’t mind... Read more

The best part of this whole month was when my half-nephew, Steller, stayed with us for two weeks! He just transferred from the Okanagan and will also be a breeding boy like me. I went on a field trip with the class this month and have been enjoying the last sunny days... Read more

August started off with my 6 month birthday! I met up with some brothers and sisters from my litter, and brother Ole’s raiser gave me some birthday doggie cookies to take home. 😉 I made it through my first full hooman meal on the inside of a restaurant. On her... Read more

Hi there, It’s Bagel here, ready to share all the amazing things I’ve been up to in August! We’ve been trying to soak up every bit of summer, and it’s been an incredible month full of fun, challenges, and new experiences. I spent most of the last month at the cabin,... Read more

Hello all, I cannot believe that August has come and gone! We had some hot, lazy days where we simply hung out at home. In my black coat, I found the 30+C too unbearable to go outside for long. However, that didn’t get me out of my training. We are working on several... Read more

Ahhhhh… Glorious summer! As much as I would have LOVED to follow my raising family out to BC, I instead had the opportunity to hang out with my best buddy and PADS volunteer, Lesley. Let me tell you, she is a pro on the golf course, and she taught me all that I know.... Read more

August was a very chill month for Indy & her family – mostly because her raiser, Judi, broke some ribs mountain biking. While that was unfortunate, it forced Judi to think about training in a different way. We spent some quality off-leash time (as any... Read more

I had a wonderful August! PADS Aquila, from Calgary, came for a visit for 5 whole days. We played in the yard endlessly, practiced our LLW on the Greenway and curled up together for snuggles. We even went paddle boarding! I hope she comes back real soon. I also went... Read more

Tetris continues to display a very calm and thoughtful demeanour. She enjoyed the rest of the summer with lots of trail walks and learning to swim. She’s a very cautious swimmer but loves it when there are other labs involved. She also attended a couple of outdoor... Read more
