Well 2012 was a great year! We had loads of fun with Pack Walks and demonstrations, the Diversity Festival in Renfrew and meeting new people in Pet Valu both in Renfrew and in Arnprior. Mariah and I were busy as always visiting peoples homes, and meeting some really cool dogs with some in home consultations. We of course had a super busy and fantastic summer, packed full of boarders and daycare guests. In the fall we were proud to offer a unique approach to puppy class and socialization. We socialized the puppies to not only other puppies, but other dogs, kids, grooming techniques, feeding times and handling in general. We got to meet some really awesome puppies and have a lot of fun. We ended our season with a float in the Arnprior Santa Claus Parade , and an amazing Christmas season. So what's in store for 2013???
Well first things first, PACK WALKS WILL RETURN!!!! I know I know, I am as disappointed as everyone else by the huge postponement of the pack walk. I was injured at the end of the summer and diagnosed with Achilles Tendonopathy. I was hoping to take only a month off but the ankle had other plans. I am currently still in physiotherapy and still working on strengthening that ankle. But with all the crazy winter weather I would not want people walking on the property right now due to slippery conditions so we will start up pack walks in April. The focus of the Pack Walk is on leash communication. Your on leash relationship with your dog is different than your off leash relationship. You need to work on both. Pack walks help you do just that!We will be offering another PUPPY CLASS for beginner puppy. Again focusing on socialization. This is a unique class where we will expose the puppies to other dogs, puppies, kids, bikes, strollers, and end in a puppy pack walk. Remember what Ian Dunbar said. A dog that has not been properly socialized is far more dangerous than a wild animal. Socialization before 16-20wks of age is critical and will help shape your future dogs behaviour. Puppy Classes will begin in May/June 2013
New this year I will be offering 3 hour and half day SEMINARS!!! These will be small groups of people invited to join me in an entertaining and informative gathering to learn more about their dogs behaviour. IT will include demonstrations some hands on demonstrations and of course end with a question and answer period.
